A long-overdue update of the ia64 code has been made. It contains a number of changes worked on by myself and David Mosberger that were only in Red Hat's ia64 gdb. The testsuite results in 23 less failures (127 down to 104). Most importantly, backtracing via libunwind is much improved, including vsyscall support, threaded backtraces, and stopping backtraces. 2005-06-08 Jeff Johnston David Mosberger * ia64-tdep.c (KERNEL_START): New macro. (ia64_pseudo_register_read): Fix code to use libunwind to properly get the rse registers. (ia64_frame_this_id): Mark outermost frame with null frame id. (ia64_sigtramp_frame_prev_register): Fix up debug output. (ia64_access_rse_reg): New accessor function. (ia64_access_mem): Add special logic for accessing the kernel's unwind table. (getunwind_table): Fix for corefiles. (get_kernel_table): Fix to handle vDSO. (ia64_libunwind_frame_this_id): Check for null frame id and don't unwind past pc value of 0. Fix debugging output. (ia64_libunwind_sigtramp_frame_this_id): New function. (ia64_libunwind_sigtramp_frame_prev_register): Ditto. (ia64_libunwind_sigtramp_frame_sniffer): Ditto.

(ia64_gdbarch_init)[HAVE_LIBUNWIND_IA64_H]: Use ia64_libunwind_sigtramp_frame_sniffer instead of ia64_sigtramp_frame_sniffer. * libunwind-frame.c (libunwind_frame_set_descr): Add special register accessors. (libunwind_frame_cache): Add special logic to check for 0 pc value. Check for a signal trampoline frame. (libunwind_frame_this_id): Check if libunwind_frame_cache returns NULL. (libunwind_frame_prev_register): Check for NULL cache. (libunwind_frame_base_address): Ditto. (libunwind_sigtramp_frame_sniffer): New function. (libunwind_get_reg_special): Ditto.
