            Bug ID: 29074
           Summary: gdb fails to find a shared library for a function
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: backtrace
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: rui314 at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

It looks like gdb sometimes fails to find a shared library name for a funct=
ion.
My shared library ends with something like this:

ruiu@blue:~/mold$ objdump -d liba.so
<<<omit>>>
0000000000001140 <_ZL5func2i>:
    1140:       55                      push   %rbp
    1141:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
    1144:       48 83 ec 10             sub    $0x10,%rsp
    1148:       89 7d fc                mov    %edi,-0x4(%rbp)
    114b:       e8 c0 fe ff ff          call   1010 <abort@plt>
ruiu@blue:~/mold$

So, the DSO's text segment ends with a call to `abort`. Since GCC knows `ab=
ort`
does not return, it can emit code like this.

When gdb tries to lookup a shared library using a function return address a=
s a
key, the "return address" for the above function is one byte beyond the
executable segment of the DSO. Because of that, gdb fails to find a shared
library for that function. An example output is shown below:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x00007ffff70b0cdb in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff70b0cdb in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1 0x00007ffff70b2375 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#2 0x00007ffff7ff0140 in func2(int) ()
#3 0x00007ffff7ff0123 in func(int) () from ./liba.so
#4 0x0000000000201149 in main () at a1.cpp:2

The third line from the bottom lacks the shared library name.

I believe gdb has to subtract one byte from a return address before using i=
t to
lookup a shared library.
