Luis Machado bab22d0640 [aarch64/arm] Properly extract the return value returned in memory
When running gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.exp, the following shows up for
both aarch64-linux and armhf-linux:

Breakpoint 3, f1 (i1=23, i2=100) at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.cc:35
35        A a;
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  f1 (i1=23, i2=100) at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.cc:35
main () at /src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.cc:163
163       B b = f2 (i1, i2);
Value returned is $6 = {a = -11952}
(gdb)

The return value should be {a = 123} instead. This happens because the
backends don't extract the return value from the correct location. GDB should
fetch a pointer to the memory location from X8 for aarch64 and r0 for armhf.

With the patch, gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.exp has full passes on
aarch64-linux and armhf-linux on Ubuntu 20.04/18.04.

The problem only shows up with the "finish" command. The "call" command
works correctly and displays the correct return value.

This is also related to PR gdb/28681
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28681) and fixes FAIL's in
gdb.ada/mi_var_array.exp.

A new testcase is provided, and it exercises GDB's ability to "finish" a
function that returns a large struct (> 16 bytes) and display the
contents of this struct correctly. This has always been incorrect for
these backends, but no testcase exercised this particular scenario.

		   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.
