commit 80c570537e380c1b8e48754c0ddbce2abcde2d00

SEGV in ppc64_elf_get_synthetic_symtab reading a separate debug file
The attached patch fixes the SEGV and lets GDB successfully
load all kernel modules installed by default on RHEL 7.
Valgrind on F-21 x86_64 host has shown me more clear what is the problem:

==22763==ABORTING
A similar case a few lines later I have fixed in 2010 by:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=3f1eff0a2c7f0e7078f011f55b8e7f710aae0cc2
My testcase does not always reproduce it but at least a bit:
* GDB without ppc64 target (even as a secondary one) is reported as "untested"
* ASAN-built GDB with ppc64 target always crashes (and PASSes with this fix)
* unpatched non-ASAN-built GDB with ppc64 target crashes from commandline
* unpatched non-ASAN-built GDB with ppc64 target PASSes from runtest (?)
gdb/ChangeLog
2015-02-26 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* elfread.c (elf_read_minimal_symbols): Use bfd_alloc for
bfd_canonicalize_symtab.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog
2015-02-26 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.arch/cordic.ko.bz2: New file.
* gdb.arch/cordic.ko.debug.bz2: New file.
* gdb.arch/ppc64-symtab-cordic.exp: New file.
