            Bug ID: 27593
           Summary: Scrolling up can be extremely slow.
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

  Target Milestone: ---

It seems that Bug #26024 (Cannot scroll up in asm view) has now been fixed,=
 but
I notice that there are scenarios where scrolling up is extremely slow.

I have an 85MB crashing Rust binary here. If I run it to the crash the
backtrace is:
```
Thread 1 "tests-014a21cc2" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x00007ffff7b367bb in raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

```

Switching to asm layout in the top frame (#0), scroll up works well.

Moving down the stack, #1 through #4 all scroll up fine too.

In #5 however, scrolling up one line:
  - Takes about 20 seconds.
  - Causes one CPU core to be pegged at 100% during this time.
  - Blocks the GDB TUI in the meantime.

The same happens for #6 through #12 (inclusive).

I had postured that, gdb has to do some kind of search when the file for a
frame's code is unknown, but #12 being slow to scroll disproves this.

This occurs on gdb-10.1 and the current (as of today) git code.
