Indu Bhagat 9a1d95f8ab libsframe: update the semantics of sframe_fre_get_ra_offset
Until now, sframe_fre_get_ra_offset () would return
SFRAME_ERR_FREOFFSET_NOPRESENT if the ABI uses fixed RA offset (e.g.,
AMD64).  A stack tracer, then, will call an explicit
sframe_decoder_get_fixed_ra_offset () to get the RA offset.

On second look, it appears to make sense to hide these details of
whether the RA offset is fixed or not from the consumer.  Now, with the
changed semantics, the call to sframe_fre_get_ra_offset () will fetch
the fixed RA offset if applicable, or get the RA offset from FRE when
there is no fixed RA offset.

Adjustments need to be made to ensure the textual dump remains the same
as preivous.  Currently, e.g., if RA is not being tracked per FRE,
following is seen with objdump --sframe:

    STARTPC         CFA       FP        RA
    000000000000NNNN  sp+X      u         u

This patch changes the behavior of sframe_fre_get_ra_offset: it turns an
error into non-error.  This change will be included with the next
release of libsframe, where all exposed symbols will be versioned for
the first time.

libsframe/
	* sframe.c (sframe_fre_get_ra_offset): Return the fixed offset,
	if applicable.  Else return the RA offset from the FRE.
	* sframe-dump.c (dump_sframe_func_with_fres): Make adjustments
	to keep the textual dump same as previous.

		   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;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  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

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
