[gdb/testsuite] Check avx support in gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp
On a machine on Open Build Service I'm running into a SIGILL for test-case
gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp:
...
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.^M
test_rip_vex2 () at gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.S:40^M
40 vmovsd ro_var(%rip),%xmm0^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp: vex2: \
continue to test_rip_vex2_end
...
The SIGILL happens when trying to execute the first avx instruction in the
executable.
I can't directly access the machine, but looking at the log for test-case
gdb.arch/i386-avx.exp, it seems that there's no avx support:
...
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd6b8) at gdb.arch/i386-avx.c:68^M
68 if (have_avx ())^M
(gdb) print have_avx ()^M
$1 = 0^M
...
Fix this by:
- adding a gdb_caching_proc have_avx, similar to have_mpx, using the have_avx
function from gdb.arch/i386-avx.c
- using proc have_avx in both gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp
and gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/i386-avx.exp.
Tested on my x86_64-linux laptop with avx support, where both test-cases pass.
