    dwarf2-frame.c: Fix FDE processing bug involving non-contiguous ranges
    
    In the course of revising the test case for
    gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp, I added a new .c file which would
    cause the "cold" range to be at a higher address than the rest of the
    function.  In these tests, the range in question isn't really cold in
    the sense that a compiler has determined that it'll be executed less
    frequently.  Instead, it's simply the range that does not include the
    entry pc.  These tests are intended to mimic the output of such a
    compiler, so I'll continue to refer to this range as "cold" in the
    following discussion.
    
    The original test case had only tested a cold range placed
    at lower addresses than the rest of the function.  During testing of the
    new code where the cold range was placed at higher addresses, I found
    that I could produce the following backtrace:
    
        (gdb) bt
        #0  0x0000000000401138 in baz ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-hi-cold.c:72
        #1  0x0000000000401131 in foo_cold ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-hi-cold.c:64
        #2  0x000000000040111e in foo ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-hi-cold.c:50
        #3  0x0000000000401144 in main ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-hi-cold.c:78
    
    This is correct, except that we'd like to see foo() listed instead
    of foo_cold().  (I handle that problem in another patch.)
    
    Now look at what happens for a similar backtrace where the cold range
    is at a lower address than the foo's entry pc:
    
        (gdb) bt
        #0  0x000000000040110a in baz ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:48
        #1  0x0000000000401116 in foo ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:54
        #2  0x00007fffffffd4c0 in ?? ()
        #3  0x0000000000401138 in foo ()
    	at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:70
    
    Note that the backtrace doesn't go all the way back to main().  Moreover,
    frame #2 is messed up.
    
    I had seen this behavior when I had worked on the non-contiguous
    address problem last year.  At the time I convinced myself that the
    mangled backtrace was "okay" since we're doing strange things with
    the DWARF assembler.  We're taking a function called foo_cold (though
    it was originally called foo_low - my recent changes to the test case
    changed the name) and via the magic of the DWARF assembler, we're
    combining it into a separate (non-contiguous) range for foo.  Thus,
    it was a surprise to me when I got a good and complete backtrace when
    the cold symbol is placed at an address that's greater than entry pc.
    
    The function dwarf2_frame_cache (in dwarf2-frame.c) is making this
    call:
    
        if (get_frame_func_if_available (this_frame, &entry_pc)) ...
    
    If that call succeeds (returns a true value), the FDE is then
    processed up to the entry pc.  It doesn't make sense to do this,
    however, when the FDE in question does not contain the entry pc.  This
    can happen when the function in question is comprised of more than one
    (non-contiguous) address range.
    
    My fix is to add some comparisons to the test above to ensure that
    ENTRY_PC is within the address range covered by the FDE.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
    	* dwarf2-frame.c (dwarf2_frame_cache): Don't decode FDE instructions
    	for entry pc when entry pc is out of range for that FDE.
