[patch] Fix inferior execl of new PIE x86_64


Hi,

gcc -o 1 1.c -Wall -g -fPIE -pie; gdb -nx ./1 -ex 'b main' -ex r -ex c 

Starting program: .../gdb/1 
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdff8) at 1.c:7
7	  setbuf (stdout, NULL);
Continuing.
re-exec
process 28056 is executing new program: .../gdb/1
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0x80c
exit
Program exited normally.
(gdb) _

while it should be:

re-exec
process 28095 is executing new program: .../gdb/1
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe008) at 1.c:7
7	  setbuf (stdout, NULL);
(gdb) _

The error comes from:

throw_error <- memory_error <- read_memory <- read_memory_unsigned_integer <-
amd64_analyze_prologue <- amd64_skip_prologue <- gdbarch_skip_prologue <-
skip_prologue_sal <- find_function_start_sal <- symbol_found <- decode_variable
<- decode_line_1 <- breakpoint_re_set_one <- catch_errors <- breakpoint_re_set
<- clear_symtab_users <- new_symfile_objfile <-
symbol_file_add_with_addrs_or_offsets <- symbol_file_add_from_bfd <-
symbol_file_add <- symbol_file_add_main_1 <- symbol_file_add_main <-
follow_exec


I understand this hack is not nice, the correct way would be to unify more
follow_exec with post_create_inferior.  But I could break it for non-GNU/Linux
targets a lot.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora14snapshot-linux-gnu.


Thanks,
Jan

	* infrun.c (follow_exec): Replace symbol_file_add_main by
	symbol_file_add with SYMFILE_DEFER_BP_RESET, set_initial_language and
	breakpoint_re_set.
	* m32r-rom.c (m32r_load, m32r_upload_command): Use parameter 0 for
	clear_symtab_users.
	* objfiles.c (free_all_objfiles): Likewise.
	* remote-m32r-sdi.c (m32r_load): Likewise.
	* solib-som.c (som_solib_create_inferior_hook): Likewise.
	* symfile.c (new_symfile_objfile): New comment for add_flags.  Call
	clear_symtab_users with ADD_FLAGS.
	(reread_symbols): Use parameter 0 for clear_symtab_users.
	(clear_symtab_users): New parameter add_flags.  Do not call
	breakpoint_re_set if SYMFILE_DEFER_BP_RESET.
	(clear_symtab_users_cleanup): Use parameter 0 for clear_symtab_users.
	* symtab.h (clear_symtab_users): New parameter add_flags.
