Breakpoints, don't skip prologue of ifunc resolvers with debug info
Without this patch, some of the tests added to gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp
by a following patch fail like so:
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: break gnu_ifunc
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: info breakpoints
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: after resolving: break gnu_ifunc

All of them trigger iff:
- you have debug info for the ifunc resolver.
- the resolver and the user-visible symbol have the same name.
If you have an ifunc that has a resolver with the same name as the
user visible symbol, debug info for the resolver masks out the ifunc
minsym. When you set a breakpoint by name on the user visible symbol,
GDB finds the DWARF symbol for the resolver, and thinking that it's a
regular function, sets a breakpoint location past its prologue.
Like so, location 1.2, before the ifunc is resolved by the inferior:
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 2 at 0x7ffff7bd36ea (2 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x00007ffff7bd36ea <gnu_ifunc>
1.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34
(gdb)
And like so, location 2.2, if you set the breakpoint after the ifunc
is resolved by the inferior (to "final"):
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 5 at 0x400757 (2 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
2.1 y 0x000000000040075a in final at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-resd.c:21
2.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34
(gdb)
I don't think this is right because when users set a breakpoint at an
ifunc, they don't care about debugging the resolver. Instead what you
should is a single location for the ifunc in the first case, and a
single location of the ifunc target in the second case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linespec.c (struct bound_minimal_symbol_search_key): New.
(convert_linespec_to_sals): Sort minimal symbols earlier. Don't
skip first line if we found a GNU ifunc minimal symbol by name.
(compare_msymbols): Change parameters to work with a destructured
lhs minsym.
(compare_msymbols_for_qsort, compare_msymbols_for_bsearch): New
functions.
