[SH] gdb.asm/asm-source.exp


Hi!

On SH, gdb.asm/asm-source.exp currently fails to build as follows:

    Executing on host: sh-linux-gnu-as [...]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s -I[...]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm -I[...]/gdb.d/gdb.asm -gdwarf2 -o asmsrc1.o    (timeout = 3600)
    [GDB]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s: Assembler messages:
    [GDB]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s: Error: .size expression for _start does not evaluate to a constant
    [GDB]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s: Error: .size expression for main does not evaluate to a constant
    [GDB]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s: Error: .size expression for foo3 does not evaluate to a constant
    [GDB]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s: Error: .size expression for exit does not evaluate to a constant
    [GDB]/gdb/testsuite/gdb.asm/asmsrc1.s: Error: .size expression for foostatic does not evaluate to a constant
    assembler exited with status 1

This comes from gdb.asm/sh.inc:

    31		comment "subroutine end"
    32		.purgem gdbasm_end
    33		.macro gdbasm_end name
    34		.size   \name, .-_foo1
    35		.align	1
    36		.endm

The _foo1 symbol doesn't exist anywhere (and it never has, in gdb.asm's
lifetime).  This is easily fixed, and makes the tests PASS for sh-elf.
(As this code has never been touched since its initial commit in 2003, I
wonder for how long this has been broken -- probably ever since?  Or what
were earlier assembler versions able to make out of that?)

gdb/testsuite/

	* gdb.asm/sh.inc (gdbasm_end) <.size>: Refer to the function's name.

However, that is not enough to make the executable runnable on
sh-linux-gnu: it chokes due to the stack pointer setup in gdbasm_startup.
There are several ways to address this (see ``diff -u m32r.inc
m32r-linux.inc'' for one example); I chose to generalize the code as
follows:

gdb/testsuite/

	* gdb.asm/sh.inc (gdbasm_startup): Only set up the stack pointer if the
	symbol _stack is defined.  Get rid of a hard-coded constant for _stack.

Now the tests all PASS for both sh-linux-gnu and sh-elf:

OK to commit both patches?
