Message-ID: <1481036629-21542-4-git-send-email-yao.qi@linaro.org> (raw)

This patch change aarch prologue analyzer using code cache, in order
to improve the performance of remote debugging.

gdb.perf/skip-prologue.exp (measured by wall-time) is improved when
the program is compiled without debug information.
