This is a regression; GDB used to fail inserting the breakpoint. More below. I stumbled on this as I wrote a test that manually sets up a read-only memory region with the "mem" command, in order to test GDB's behavior with breakpoints set on read-only regions, even when the real memory the breakpoints are set at isn't really read-only. I wanted that in order to add a test that exercises software single-stepping through read-only regions. Note that the memory regions that target_memory_map returns aren't like e.g., what would expect to see in /proc/PID/maps on Linux. Instead, they're the physical memory map from the _debuggers_ perspective. E.g., a read-only region would be real ROM or flash memory, while a read-only+execute mapping in /proc/PID/maps is still read-write to the debugger (otherwise the debugger wouldn't be able to set software breakpoints in the code segment). If one tries to manually write to memory that falls within a memory region that is known to be read-only, with e.g., "p foo = 1", then we hit a check in memory_xfer_partial_1 before the write mananges to make it to the target side. But writing a software/memory breakpoint nowadays goes through target_write_raw_memory, and unlike when writing memory with TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY, nothing on the TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY path checks whether we're trying to write to a read-only region. At the time "breakpoint auto-hw" was added, we didn't have the TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY vs TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY target object distinction yet, and the code path in memory_xfer_partial that blocks writes to read-only memory was hit for memory breakpoints too. With GDB 6.8 we had: warning: cannot set software breakpoint at readonly address 0000000000443943 Warning: Cannot insert breakpoint 1. Error accessing memory address 0x443943: Input/output error. So I started out by fixing this by adding the memory region validation to TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY too. But later, when testing against GDBserver, I realized that that would only block software/memory breakpoints GDB itself inserts with gdb/mem-break.c. If a target has a to_insert_breakpoint method, the insertion request will still pass through to the target. So I ended up converting the "cannot set breakpoint" warning in breakpoint.c to a real error return, thus blocking the insertion sooner. With that, we'll end up no longer needing the TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY changes once software single-step breakpoints are converted to real breakpoints. We need them today as software single-step breakpoints bypass insert_bp_location. But, it'll be best to leave that in as safeguard anyway, for other direct uses of TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY.

Put single-step breakpoints on the bp_location chain This patch makes single-step breakpoints "real" breakpoints on the global location list. There are several benefits to this: - It removes the currently limitation that only 2 single-step breakpoints can be inserted. See an example here of a discussion around a case that wants more than 2, possibly unbounded: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00663.html - makes software single-step work on read-only code regions. The logic to convert a software breakpoint to a hardware breakpoint if the memory map says the breakpoint address is in read only memory is in insert_bp_location. Because software single-step breakpoints bypass all that go and straight to target_insert_breakpoint, we can't software single-step over read only memory. This patch removes that limitation, and adds a test that makes sure that works, by forcing a code region to read-only with "mem LOW HIGH ro" and then stepping through that. - Fixes PR breakpoints/9649 This is an assertion failure in insert_single_step_breakpoint in breakpoint.c, because we may leave stale single-step breakpoints behind on error. The tests for stepping through read-only regions exercise the root cause of the bug, which is that we leave single-step breakpoints behind if we fail to insert any single-step breakpoint. Deleting the single-step breakpoints in resume_cleanups, delete_just_stopped_threads_infrun_breakpoints, and fetch_inferior_event fixes this. Without that, we'd no longer hit the assertion, as that code is deleted, but we'd instead run into errors/warnings trying to insert/remove the stale breakpoints on next resume. - Paves the way to have multiple threads software single-stepping at the same time, leaving update_global_location_list to worry about duplicate locations. - Makes the moribund location machinery aware of software single-step breakpoints, paving the way to enable software single-step on non-stop, instead of forcing serialized displaced stepping for all single steps. - It's generaly cleaner. We no longer have to play games with single-step breakpoints inserted at the same address as regular breakpoints, like we recently had to do for 7.8.

The logic to convert a software breakpoint to a hardware breakpoint if the memory map says the breakpoint address is in read only memory is in insert_bp_location. Because software single-step breakpoints bypass all that go and straight to target_insert_breakpoint, we can't software single-step over read only memory. This patch removes that limitation, and adds a test that makes sure that works, by forcing a code region to read-only with "mem LOW HIGH ro" and then stepping through that. - Fixes PR breakpoints/9649 This is an assertion failure in insert_single_step_breakpoint in breakpoint.c, because we may leave stale single-step breakpoints behind on error. The tests for stepping through read-only regions exercise the root cause of the bug, which is that we leave single-step breakpoints behind if we fail to insert any single-step breakpoint. Deleting the single-step breakpoints in resume_cleanups, delete_just_stopped_threads_infrun_breakpoints, and fetch_inferior_event fixes this. Without that, we'd no longer hit the assertion, as that code is deleted, but we'd instead run into errors/warnings trying to insert/remove the stale breakpoints on next resume. - Paves the way to have multiple threads software single-stepping at the same time, leaving update_global_location_list to worry about duplicate locations. - Makes the moribund location machinery aware of software single-step breakpoints, paving the way to enable software single-step on non-stop, instead of forcing serialized displaced stepping for all single steps. - It's generaly cleaner. We no longer have to play games with single-step breakpoints inserted at the same address as regular breakpoints, like we recently had to do for 7.8.
