I now made your patch apply on top of the current sources (see below),
and tested it on both sh-linux-gnu hardware and sh-elf simulator.

As we already had figured out, it introduces the following nine
regressions (PASS -> FAIL):

    FAIL: gdb.base/store.exp: continue to add_charest
    FAIL: gdb.base/store.exp: continue to add_short
    FAIL: gdb.base/store.exp: continue to add_int
    FAIL: gdb.base/store.exp: continue to add_long
    FAIL: gdb.base/store.exp: continue to add_longest
    FAIL: gdb.base/structs.exp: advance to fun<n> for return; return 2 structs-td-tf
    FAIL: gdb.base/structs.exp: advance to fun<n> for finish; return 2 structs-td-tf
    FAIL: gdb.base/structs.exp: advance to fun<n> for return; return 2 structs-tf-td
    FAIL: gdb.base/structs.exp: advance to fun<n> for finish; return 2 structs-tf-td

As already reported, an additional regression for sh-linux-gnu:

     Running /scratch/tschwing/FM_sh-linux-gnu/src/gdb-mainline/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp ...
     PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: successfully compiled posix threads test case
     PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: set print sevenbit-strings
     PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: break sem_post
    -PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: Continue to main's call of sem_post
    +FAIL: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: Continue to main's call of sem_post (the program exited)
     PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: rerun to main
     PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: handle SIG32 nostop noprint pass
    -PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: handle SIG32 helps
    -PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: info threads
    +FAIL: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: handle SIG32 helps (the program exited)
    +KFAIL: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: info threads (PRMS: gdb/1328)
     PASS: gdb.threads/staticthreads.exp: GDB exits with static thread program

The breakpoint for sem_post is mis-calculated to be somewhere near the
end of the function (after the epilogue, even).

And, as already reported, there is this progression for sh-linux-gnu:

         -FAIL: gdb.base/gdb1250.exp: setting breakpoint at abort
         +PASS: gdb.base/gdb1250.exp: backtrace from abort

The PLT stub for abort happens to be the last one in the .plt section,
and (I suppose) your more advanced limit_pc/func_end mechanism (instead
of hard-coding 28 instructions) helps to avoid hitting the
end-of-.plt-section border.  (The question is whether it really makes
sense to go looking for a prologue in a PLT stub, but that's what GDB is
currently doing, and it should be without harm.)

As for the other advancements that you reported, do you have any
additional patches in your tree; see the questions in my 2012-02-21
email, Message-ID: <8762f09stp.fsf@schwinge.name>.


I'll now try to carry over your ``more advanced limit_pc/func_end
mechanism'' separately.
