/* When we analyze a prologue, we're really doing 'abstract
   interpretation' or 'pseudo-evaluation': running the function's code
   in simulation, but using conservative approximations of the values
   it would have when it actually runs.  For example, if our function
   starts with the instruction:

      addi r1, 42     # add 42 to r1

   we don't know exactly what value will be in r1 after executing this
   instruction, but we do know it'll be 42 greater than its original
   value.

   If we then see an instruction like:

      addi r1, 22     # add 22 to r1

   we still don't know what r1's value is, but again, we can say it is
   now 64 greater than its original value.

   If the next instruction were:

      mov r2, r1      # set r2 to r1's value

   then we can say that r2's value is now the original value of r1
   plus 64.

   It's common for prologues to save registers on the stack, so we'll
   need to track the values of stack frame slots, as well as the
   registers.  So after an instruction like this:

      mov (fp+4), r2

   then we'd know that the stack slot four bytes above the frame
   pointer holds the original value of r1 plus 64.

   And so on.

   Of course, this can only go so far before it gets unreasonable.  If
   we wanted to be able to say anything about the value of r1 after
   the instruction:

      xor r1, r3      # exclusive-or r1 and r3, place result in r1

   then things would get pretty complex.  But remember, we're just
   doing a conservative approximation; if exclusive-or instructions
   aren't relevant to prologues, we can just say r1's value is now
   'unknown'.  We can ignore things that are too complex, if that loss
   of information is acceptable for our application.

   So when I say "conservative approximation" here, what I mean is an
   approximation that is either accurate, or marked "unknown", but
   never inaccurate.

   Once you've reached the current PC, or an instruction that you
   don't know how to simulate, you stop.  Now you can examine the
   state of the registers and stack slots you've kept track of.

   - To see how large your stack frame is, just check the value of the
     stack pointer register; if it's the original value of the SP
     minus a constant, then that constant is the stack frame's size.
     If the SP's value has been marked as 'unknown', then that means
     the prologue has done something too complex for us to track, and
     we don't know the frame size.

   - To see where we've saved the previous frame's registers, we just
     search the values we've tracked --- stack slots, usually, but
     registers, too, if you want --- for something equal to the
     register's original value.  If the ABI suggests a standard place
     to save a given register, then we can check there first, but
     really, anything that will get us back the original value will
     probably work.

   Sure, this takes some work.  But prologue analyzers aren't
   quick-and-simple pattern patching to recognize a few fixed prologue
   forms any more; they're big, hairy functions.  Along with inferior
   function calls, prologue analysis accounts for a substantial
   portion of the time needed to stabilize a GDB port.  So I think
   it's worthwhile to look for an approach that will be easier to
   understand and maintain.  In the approach used here:

   - It's easier to see that the analyzer is correct: you just see
     whether the analyzer properly (albiet conservatively) simulates
     the effect of each instruction.

   - It's easier to extend the analyzer: you can add support for new
     instructions, and know that you haven't broken anything that
     wasn't already broken before.

   - It's orthogonal: to gather new information, you don't need to
     complicate the code for each instruction.  As long as your domain
     of conservative values is already detailed enough to tell you
     what you need, then all the existing instruction simulations are
     already gathering the right data for you.

   A 'struct prologue_value' is a conservative approximation of the
   real value the register or stack slot will have.  */
