gdbserver-base.exp: Copy file to standard output directory in ${board}_download
gdbserver-base.exp is used as the base for both native-gdbserver.exp and native-extended-gdbserver.exp. (Despite its name, it should really be considered as a "local-gdbserver-base", as it's not really appropriate to implement a remote gdbserver board.) Currently, the _download procedure is implemented as a no-op (it returns the source file path). Because of the SONAME change, The fast tracepoint tests now require the executable and the IPA (libinproctrace.so) to be located in the same directory (see [1]). When using the native-gdbserver board, because _download returns the original file path, the executable does not end up in the same directory as the library, and it fails to execute. In more general terms, with the recent changes, the testsuite now assumes that when it does ${board}_download <source path 1> <destination path 1> ${board}_download <source path 2> <destination path 2> where the destination paths are relative (generally just the file name), both files will end up in the same base directory. That assumption does not hold for the current implementation in gdbserver-base.exp. The proper fix would be to make native-gdbserver non-remote, so that gdb_remote_download would not call DejaGnu's remote_download (see [2]). We could then get rid of ${board}_download in gdbserver-base.exp. However, that will likely take some time to complete. In the mean time, in order to make the fast tracepoint tests pass, we can simply copy the file to the standard output directory. Basically, it just mimics what gdb_remote_download would do if the board wasn't flagged as remote. Note that I missed these failures originally because I had a libinproctrace.so in /usr/local/lib. So, even though libinproctrace.so wasn't copied to the test output directory, it did find the one in /usr/local/lib. It would be nice to find a way to protect against this, as it could easily happen again... Regtested with unix, native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver, and didn't see anything notable, except the ftrace tests now passing for native-gdbserver.
