    Fix dwarf2read.c:dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit's binary search
    
    First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Keith Seitz, Jan
    Kratochvil and Tom Tromey, who were really kind and helped a lot with
    this bug.  The patch itself was authored by Jan.
    
    This all began with:
    
      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1639242
      py-bt is broken, results in exception
    
    In summary, the error reported by the bug above is:
    
      $ gdb -args python3
      GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 8.1.1-3.fc28
      (...)

      done.
      Dwarf Error: could not find partial DIE containing offset 0x316 [in module /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/python3.6-3.6.6-1.fc28.x86_64.debug]
    
    After a long investigation, and after thinking that the problem might
    actually be on DWZ's side, we were able to determine that there's
    something wrong going on when
    dwarf2read.c:dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit performs a binary search
    over all of the CUs belonging to an objfile in order to find the CU
    which contains a DIE at an specific offset.  The current algorithm is:
    
      static struct dwarf2_per_cu_data *
      dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit (sect_offset sect_off,
    				    unsigned int offset_in_dwz,
    				    struct dwarf2_per_objfile *dwarf2_per_objfile)
      {
        struct dwarf2_per_cu_data *this_cu;
        int low, high;
        const sect_offset *cu_off;
    
        low = 0;
        high = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units.size () - 1;
        while (high > low)
          {
    	struct dwarf2_per_cu_data *mid_cu;
    	int mid = low + (high - low) / 2;
    
    	mid_cu = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units[mid];
    	cu_off = &mid_cu->sect_off;
    	if (mid_cu->is_dwz > offset_in_dwz
    	    || (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz && *cu_off >= sect_off))
    	  high = mid;
    	else
    	  low = mid + 1;
          }
    
    For the sake of this example, let's consider that "sect_off =
    0x7d".
    
    There are a few important things going on here.  First,
    "dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units ()" will be sorted first by
    whether the CU is a DWZ CU, and then by cu->sect_off.  In this
    specific bug, "offset_in_dwz" is false, which means that, for the most
    part of the loop, we're going to do "high = mid" (i.e, we'll work with
    the lower part of the vector).
    
    In our particular case, when we reach the part where "mid_cu->is_dwz
    == offset_in_dwz" (i.e, both are false), we end up with "high = 2" and
    "mid = 1".  I.e., there are only 2 elements in the vector who are not
    DWZ.  The vector looks like this:
    
      #0: cu->sect_off = 0;   length = 114;  is_dwz = false  <-- low
      #1: cu->sect_off = 114; length = 7796; is_dwz = false  <-- mid
      #2: cu->sect_off = 0;   length = 28;   is_dwz = true   <-- high
      ...
    
    The CU we want is #1, which is exactly where "mid" is.  Also, #1 is
    not DWZ, which is also exactly what we want.  So we perform the second
    comparison:
    
      (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz && *cu_off >= sect_off)
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
    Because "*cu_off = 114" and "sect_off = 0x7d", this evaluates to
    false, so we end up with "low = mid + 1 = 2", which actually gives us
    the wrong CU (i.e., a CU that is DWZ).  Next in the code, GDB does:
    
        gdb_assert (low == high);
        this_cu = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units[low];
        cu_off = &this_cu->sect_off;
        if (this_cu->is_dwz != offset_in_dwz || *cu_off > sect_off)
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          {
    	if (low == 0 || this_cu->is_dwz != offset_in_dwz)
    	  error (_("Dwarf Error: could not find partial DIE containing "
    		 "offset %s [in module %s]"),
    		 sect_offset_str (sect_off),
    		 bfd_get_filename (dwarf2_per_objfile->objfile->obfd));
    	...
    
    Triggering the error we saw in the original bug report.
    
    It's important to notice that we see the error message because the
    selected CU is a DWZ one, but we're looking for a non-DWZ CU here.
    However, even when the selected CU is *not* a DWZ (and we don't see
    any error message), we still end up with the wrong CU.  For example,
    suppose that the vector had:
    
      #0: cu->sect_off = 0;    length = 114;  is_dwz = false
      #1: cu->sect_off = 114;  length = 7796; is_dwz = false
      #2: cu->sect_off = 7910; length = 28;   is_dwz = false
      ...
    
    I.e., #2's "is_dwz" is false instead of true.  In this case, we still
    want #1, because that's where the DIE is located.  After the loop ends
    up in #2, we have "is_dwz" as false, which is what we wanted, so we
    compare offsets.  In this case, "7910 >= 0x7d", so we set "mid = high
    = 2".  Next iteration, we have "mid = 0 + (2 - 0) / 2 = 1", and thus
    we examining #1.  "is_dwz" is still false, but "114 >= 0x7d" also
    evaluates to false, so "low = mid + 1 = 2", which makes the loop stop.
    Therefore, we end up choosing #2 as our CU, even though #1 is the
    right one.
    
    The problem here is happening because we're comparing "sect_off"
    directly against "*cu_off", while we should actually be comparing
    against "*cu_off + mid_cu->length" (i.e., the end offset):
    
      ...
      || (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz
          && *cu_off + mid_cu->length >= sect_off))
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      ...
    
    And this is what the patch does.  The idea is that if GDB is searching
    for an offset that falls above the *end* of the CU being
    analyzed (i.e., "mid"), then the next iteration should try a
    higher-offset CU next.  The previous algorithm was using
    the *beginning* of the CU.
    
    Unfortunately, I could not devise a testcase for this problem, so I am
    proposing a fix with this huge explanation attached to it in the hope
    that it is sufficient.  After talking a bit to Keith (our testcase
    guru), it seems that one would have to create an objfile with both DWZ
    and non-DWZ sections, which may prove very hard to do, I think.
    
    I ran this patch on our BuildBot, and no regressions were detected.
