Hi,

Consider a minimal test-case test.c:
...
int main (void) { return 0; }
...
which we can compile into llvm byte code using clang:
...
$ clang -g -S -emit-llvm --target=x86_64-unknown-unknown-elf test.c
...
and then run using lli, which uses the llvm jit:
...
$ lli test.ll
...

If we run this under gdb, we run into an assert:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex run --args /usr/bin/lli test.ll
Dwarf Error: Cannot not find DIE at 0x18a936e7 \
  [from module libLLVM.so.10-10.0.1-lp152.30.4.x86_64.debug]

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
src/gdb/jit.c:1178: internal-error: \
  void jit_event_handler(gdbarch*, objfile*): \
  Assertion `jiter->jiter_data != nullptr' failed.
...

This is caused by the following.

When running jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal, we first handle
libLLVM.so.10.debug, and set a jit breakpoint.

Next we handle libLLVM.so.10:
...
(gdb) p the_objfile.original_name
$42 = 0x2494170 "libLLVM.so.10"
...
but the minimal symbols we find are from libLLVM.so.10.debug:
...
(gdb) p reg_symbol.objfile.original_name
$43 = 0x38e7c50 "libLLVM.so.10-10.0.1-lp152.30.4.x86_64.debug"
(gdb) p desc_symbol.objfile.original_name
$44 = 0x38e7c50 "libLLVM.so.10-10.0.1-lp152.30.4.x86_64.debug"
...
and consequently, the objf_data is the one from libLLVM.so.10.debug:
...
      jiter_objfile_data *objf_data
        = get_jiter_objfile_data (reg_symbol.objfile);
...
and so we hit this:
...
      if (objf_data->cached_code_address == addr)
        continue;
...
and no second jit breakpoint is inserted.

Subsequently, the jit breakpoint is triggered and handled, but when finding
the symbol for the breakpoint address we get:
...
(gdb) p jit_bp_sym.objfile.original_name
$52 = 0x2494170 "libLLVM.so.10"
...

The assert 'jiter->jiter_data != nullptr' triggers because it checks
libLLVM.so.10 while the one with jiter_data setup is libLLVM.so.10.debug.

This fixes the assert:
...
       jiter_objfile_data *objf_data
-        = get_jiter_objfile_data (reg_symbol.objfile);
-        = get_jiter_objfile_data (the_objfile);
...
but consequently we'll have two jit breakpoints, so we also make sure we don't
set a jit breakpoint on separate debug objects like libLLVM.so.10.debug.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Any comments?

Thanks,
- Tom
