Fix stepping in rtld without debug symbol
Commit
be6276e0aed "Allow debugging of runtime loader / dynamic linker"
introduced a small regression when stepping into the runtime loader /
dynamic linker from function we do not have debug information for. This
is reported in PR/29747.
This can be shown by the following example (given by Simon Marchi in
buzilla bug report):
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hi\n");
return 0;
}
$ gcc test.c -O0 -o test
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory test -ex start -ex s
Reading symbols from test...
(No debugging symbols found in test)
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1151
Starting program: .../binutils-gdb/gdb/test
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555555151 in main ()
Single stepping until exit from function main,
which has no line number information.

The crash happens here:

When evaluating:
6956 if (execution_direction != EXEC_REVERSE
6957 && ecs->event_thread->control.step_over_calls == STEP_OVER_UNDEBUGGABLE
6958 && in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code (ecs->event_thread->stop_pc ())
6959 && !in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code (
6961 ecs->event_thread->control.step_start_function->value_block ()
6962 ->entry_pc ()))
we dereference, ecs->event_thread->control.step_start_function which is
nullptr.
This patch changes this condition so it evaluates to true if
ecs->event_thread->control.step_start_function is nullptr since this
matches the behaviour before
be6276e0aed.
Tested on ubuntu-22.04 x86_64.
