don't share per-BFD data if relocations are needed
Right now we always share per-BFD data across objfiles, if there is a BFD. This works fine. However, we're going to start sharing more data, and sometimes this data will come directly from sections of the BFD. If such a section has SEC_RELOC set, then the data coming from that section will not be truly sharable -- the section will be program-space-dependent, and re-read by gdb for each objfile. This patch disallows per-BFD sharing in this case. This is a bit "heavy" in that we could in theory examine each bit of shared data for suitability. However, that is more complicated, and SEC_RELOC is rare enough that I think we needn't bother. Note that the "no sharing" case is equivalent to "gdb works as it historically did". That is, the sharing is a new(-ish) optimization. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. * gdb_bfd.c (struct gdb_bfd_data) <relocation_computed, needs_relocations>: New fields. (gdb_bfd_requires_relocations): New function. * gdb_bfd.h (gdb_bfd_requires_relocations): Declare. * objfiles.c (get_objfile_bfd_data): Disallow sharing if the BFD needs relocations applied.
