[RFA] sparc-solaris stack-checking - new prologue sequence


This patch should fix gdb.base/stack-checking.exp on sparc-solaris.
GCC generates some new sequences for stack checking, we just need to
recognize them. Compare:

         sethi <some immediate>,%g1
         sub %sp, %g1, %g1
         sethi  <some immediate>, %g4
         sub  %g1, %g4, %g4
         cmp  %g1, %g4
         be  <disp>
         add  %g1, -<some immediate>, %g1
         ba  <disp>
         st  [%g0, [%g1]]
         clr [%g4 - some immediate]

with this new sequence:

         sethi <some immediate>,%g1
         sethi  <some immediate>, %g4
         sub %sp, %g1, %g1
         sub  %g1, %g4, %g4
         cmp  %g1, %g4
         be  <disp>
         add  %g1, -<some immediate>, %g1
         ba  <disp>
         st  [%g0, [%g1 - 0]]
         [clr [%g4 - some immediate]]

Two differences:
* first, the probing loop has been slightly reordered;
* second, to clear a memory location, GCC may now generate
"st %g0, [%g1+0]" instead of "st %g0, [%g1]". The same effect,
but a different instruction format.

Also, the last probe may not be generated if the probe loop leaves no
remainder.

I cannot run the testsuite on sparc solaris, as it crashes the machine
pretty badly. We ought to identify the test that causes this crash.
I could run stack-checking.exp and check that it fixes one regression
though. And I tested against AdaCore's testsuite, which
is already a fairly good insurance that this patch is safe.
OK to apply?

gdb/ChangeLog:
	* sparc-tdep.c (sparc_skip_stack_check): Recognize a new instruction
	sequence for probing loops.
