Loading a library containing a lot (> 100k) sections proved very slow
with whenever the support for ROCm was built into gdb. The culprit is
the gdbarch_from_bfd call in rocm_solib_relocate_section_addresses:
if (!is_amdgpu_arch (gdbarch_from_bfd (so.abfd.get ())))
This function gets called for every section, and gdbarch_from_bfd is
somewhat slow. It turns out that we can skip the gdbarch_from_bfd call,
since all is_amdgpu_arch needs is the bfd_architecture value, which we
can directly extract from the `bfd *`, without going through the
gdbarch.
Add an overload of is_amdgpu_arch that takes a `bfd *`, and use it in
rocm_solib_relocate_section_addresses.
Update a call site in rocm_solib_bfd_open to use the new overload as
well. That call site is not as much in a hot path, but there is no
point in paying the extra cost of looking up the gdbarch there. I
removed the other assert that checked that gdbarch_from_bfd returned a
non-nullptr value. If that was the case, something would be very wrong
with ROCgdb, and the problem would manifest very soon after anyway.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README, and so on. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
