Tell GDB about Quick ART generated code
This is actually a lot of work. To do this, we need:
.debug_info
.debug_abbrev
.debug_frame
.debug_str
These are generated into the OAT file by OatWriter and ElfWriterQuick.
Since the Quick ART runtime doesn't use dlopen to load the OAT files,
GDB can't find this information. Use the alternate GDB JIT interface,
which can be invoked at runtime. To use this interface, an ELF image
needs to be built in memory. Read the information from the OAT file,
fixup the addresses to point to the real locations, add a symbol table
to hold the .text symbol, and then let GDB know about the information,
which will be read from the runtime address space.
This is quite primitive now, and could be cleaned up considerably. It
probably needs symbol table entries for the methods, and descriptions of
parameters and return types.
Currently only supported for X86.
This defaults to enabled for debug builds. Added dexoat --gen-gdb-info
and --no-gen-gdb-info flags to override.
