[rfc] Introduce "per-objfile" gdbarch


Hello,

when trying to prepare for multi-architecture debugging, one problem that
hasn't really been addressed until now is how to provide architecture-
specific information to those parts of GDB common code that are not
directly target-related, e.g the symbol reader code.

For the other parts, there is mostly a natural way to associate architecture
data with the current target, either the target connection itself, or entities
like the current thread, register cache, or stack frame.

However, for the symbol readers this does not really work out.  But those 
parts still need a certain amount of per-architecture information, e.g. 
about default data types and sizes, or about specific compiler quirks etc.
This is today available as gdbarch data, and used by symbol readers via
the "current_gdbarch" global.  This however will no longer work as soon
as we actually read symbols from object files belonging to different
architectures in a single inferior process.

One way to solve this would be add the notion of "per-objfile" gdbarch.
This is simply the gdbarch that corresponds to the BFD associated with
the objfile, as recognized by the gdbarch_from_bfd sniffers.  (Of course,
per-target information like extended register sets would not be reflected
here.)

This can be determined whenever an objfile is first created, and does not
require an established connection to a target.  The symbol readers could
then use this "per-objfile gdbarch" to access per-architecture configuration
parameters like default data types.

Of course, one potentially problematic point is that these per-objfile
gdbarch structures will generally *differ* from the per-target gdbarch
that is determined later.  If not used properly, the per-objfile gdbarch
can yield surprising results.  For example, gdbarch functions related
to register numbers will typically not be useful as the numbering of the
actual target registers may be different from those in the per-objfile
gdbarch.

However, at least a subset of gdbarch should be completely determined
already by the objfile.  This would include:

- Data types (char_signed, short_bit, int_bit, long_bit, long_long_bit,
  float_bit, float_format, double_bit, double_format, long_double_bit,
  long_double_format;  builtin_type, language_arch_info etc.)

- Pointers & addresses (ptr_bit, addr_bit, pointer_to_address,
  address_to_pointer, integer_to_address, addr_bits_remove, smash_text_address,
  address_class_type_flags, address_class_type_flags_to_name,
  address_class_name_to_type_flags)

- C++ ABI (vtable_function_descriptors, vbit_in_delta)

- Compiler characteristics (believe_pcc_promotion, static_transform_name,
  sofun_address_maybe_missing, stabs_argument_has_addr, 
  elf_make_msymbol_special, coff_make_msymbol_special)

- Code analysis (skip_prologue, deprecated_function_start_offset,
  in_function_epilogue_p, skip_trampoline_code, skip_solib_resolver,
  in_solib_return_trampoline)

- Disassembly (print_insn)


The following patch implements this by adding a "get_objfile_arch" routine
that returns the per-objfile gdbarch as described above.  It also goes and
uses this new function to replace most instances of "current_gdbarch"
throughout the symbol readers.

The only instances that remain are related to:

- Register numbering (gdbarch_XXX_reg_to_regnum)

  This is somewhat of a fundamental problem: if we allow GDB register numbers
  to depend on per-target information, having symbol classes like LOC_REGISTER
  simply makes no sense, as during symbol reading the GDB register numbers 
  are not really well-defined yet.

  This is not an issue with DWARF-2, as it always uses LOC_COMPUTED instead.
  Maybe it would be good to change the other symbol readers in a similar way?

- _initialize_mdebugread uses current_gdbarch in an init function to 
  define data types.  This is just broken ...

- dwarf2_tracepoint_var_ref calls gdbarch_virtual_frame_pointer.  I guess that
  gdbarch callback really needs to be eliminated.


Note that the patch makes no effort to *enforce* that the per-objfile 
gdbarch is used only for the subset of functions described above.  I'm
not sure whether we should do so (and how?), or whether this is simply
a matter of proper documentation ...

What do you think about this approach?

(Patch requires the DWARF-2 address size patch.  Tested together with it
on amd64-linux with no regression, both when using DWARF-2 and when using
stabs+ debug info.)

Bye,
Ulrich
