Alan Modra 5979d6b69b Handle VDSO section headers past end of page
When a VDSO gets large enough that it doesn't entirely fit in one page,
but not so large that the part described by the program header exceeds
one page, then gdb/BFD doesn't read the section headers and symbol
table information.  This patch cures that by passing the size of the
vdso to BFD, and fixes a number of other issues in the BFD code.

bfd/
	* elfcode.h (bfd_from_remote_memory): Add "size" parameter.
	Consolidate code handling possible section headers past end of
	segment.  Don't use p_align for page size guess, instead use
	minpagesize.  Take note of ld.so clearing section headers when
	p_memsz > p_filesz.  Handle file header specifying no section
	headers.  Handle zero p_align throughout.  Default loadbase to
	zero.  Add comments.  Rename contents_size to high_offset, and
	make it a bfd_vma.  Delete unnecessary bfd_set_error calls.
	* bfd-in.h (bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory): Update prototpe.
	* elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data <elf_backend_from_remote_memory>):
	Likewise.
	(_bfd_elf32_bfd_from_remote_memory): Likewise.
	(_bfd_elf64_bfd_from_remote_memory): Likewise.
	* elf.c (bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory): Adjust.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regnerate.
gdb/
	* symfile-mem.c (symbol_file_add_from_memory): Add size parameter.
	Pass to bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory.  Adjust all callers.
	(struct symbol_file_add_from_memory_args): Add size field.
	(find_vdso_size): New function.
	(add_vsyscall_page): Attempt to find vdso size.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
