debuginfod.patch
Debuginfod is an client/server in elfutils that automatically distributes DWARF
debuginfo to debugging tools across HTTP. Debuginfod functionality in valgrind
would allow for debuginfo to be automatically downloaded when valgrind is
otherwise unable to locate the file.
I've attached a patch that adds the necessary client code to valgrind. To avoid
linking a debuginfod shared library we call out to the debuginfod-find command
line tool which queries servers for the file in question and, if successful,
provides valgrind with the path of the downloaded file. This debuginfo then
goes on to be processed like any other.
