Markus Metzger aebb370bae gdb, solib-svr4: support namespaces in DSO iteration
When looking up names, GDB needs to stay within one linker namespace to
find the correct instance in case the same name is provided in more than
one namespace.

Modify svr4_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order() to stay within the
namespace of the current_objfile argument.  If no current_objfile is
provided (i.e. it is nullptr), iterate over objfiles in the initial
namespace.

For objfiles that do not have a corresponding so_list to provide the
namespace, assume that the objfile was loaded into the initial namespace.
This would cover the main executable objfile (which is indeed loaded into
the initial namespace) as well as manually added symbol files.

Expected fails:

  - gdb.base/non-lazy-array-index.exp: the expression parser may lookup
    global symbols, which may result in xfers to read auxv for determining
    the debug base as part of svr4_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order().

  - gdb.server/non-lazy-array-index.exp: symbol lookup may access the
    target to read AUXV in order to determine the debug base for SVR4
    linker namespaces.

Known issues:

  - get_symbol_address() and get_msymbol_address() search objfiles for a
    'better' match.  This was introduced by

        4b610737f02 Handle copy relocations

    to handle copy relocations but it now causes a wrong address to be
    read after symbol lookup actually cound the correct symbol.  This can
    be seen, for example, with gdb.base/dlmopen.exp when compiled with
    clang.

  - gnu ifuncs are only looked up in the initial namespace.

  - lookup_minimal_symbol() and lookup_minimal_symbol_text() directly
    iterate over objfiles and are not aware of linker namespaces.

		   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.
