* [PATCH v2 1/1] gdb/linespec: relax block filter to preserve distinct code paths

To: gdb-patches
The block-based duplicate filter in create_sals_line_offset keeps only
the first is_stmt line table entry per block. This heuristic reduces
multiple for-loop header entries (init/test/increment on same line) to
single breakpoint locations. However, it is too aggressive for
vectorized loops, where the compiler emits separate code regions for
the vectorized body and scalar remainder, both on the same source line.
The filter discards the scalar remainder entry, causing breakpoints to
be silently missed when only the scalar path executes.
The fix introduces range_has_unconditional_flow_control, which analyzes
the instruction stream for two conditions indicating distinct code paths:
1. Unconditional exit: The last instruction before the second PC is an
unconditional jmp or ret (execution cannot fall through).
2. Backward branch: Any instruction in the range is a relative branch
targeting before the first PC (loop back-edge indicating separate
loop bodies).
A new gdbarch method gdbarch_insn_branch_target decodes relative branch
targets. Implemented for amd64; other architectures default to
conservative behavior, preserving backward compatibility.
Testing covers:
- for_loop_empty_body (-O0): 1 location
- for_loop_large_body (-O0): 1 location (exceeds former scan limits)
- for_loop_vectorized (-O2): >= 2 locations with runtime verification
- nested_vectorized_loops (-O2): >= 2 locations
- loop_with_early_break (-O2): >= 2 or 1 location
- ifelse_separate_lines (-O0): 2 locations (sanity check)
Tested with GCC 11 and ICX 2025.2 on x86_64.

This fixes an issue where GDB could fail to find a type when relying
on the index. Any existing indexes should be regenerated.
+* Breakpoint location resolution has been improved for vectorized loops.
+ Previously, when setting a breakpoint on a source line with vectorized
+ code (at -O2 with -ftree-vectorize), GDB's block filter heuristic would
+ discard the scalar remainder location, causing breakpoints to be missed
+ when only the scalar path executed. GDB now correctly preserves multiple
+ locations for vectorized and scalar loop paths, improving debuggability
+ of optimized code.
+
+ Use "set linespec-extended-block-filter off" to disable the new
+ heuristic and revert to the original behavior if needed.
+
* Support for Floating Point Mode Register (FPMR) in AArch64.
* When running on the Windows Terminal console, GDB now supports
