This patch makes it possible to run tests requiring passing arguments to
the inferior with the native-gdbserver board. The end goal is to write
a test that verifies passing arguments to the inferior works, and to
have that test exercise inferior arguments passed on the gdbserver
command line, when using the native-gdbserver target board (in addition
to the other boards). This is done in the next patch.
With the native-gdbserver target board, gdbserver is started in
gdb_reload (implemented in config/gdbserver.exp), called in gdb_run_cmd.
gdb_run_cmd already supposedly accepts inferior arguments (although that
feature does not seem to be used anywhere), which it passes to the `run`
command, for non-stub target boards. I've changed gdb_run_cmd so that
it forwards these arguments to gdb_reload as well. gdb_reload passes
them to gdbserver_run, and they eventually make their way to the
gdbserver command line.
gdb_run_cmd currently accepts `args` (the varargs of tcl), which means
it receives inferior arguments as a list. This won't work with
arguments with spaces, because they will end up being formatted with
curly braces like this:
% set args [list hello "with spaces" world]
hello {with spaces} world
% puts "run $args"
run hello {with spaces} world
I've changed it to accept a single string that is passed to `run` and
gdb_reload. I've done the same change in gdb_start_cmd and
gdb_starti_cmd, although these two are not used with native-gdbserver.
I've changed all gdb_reload implementations in the tree to accept a new
inferior_args argument, although most of them don't do anything with it
(and don't need to). People maintaining target boards out of tree will
need to do the same.
I found two tests to adjust to avoid adding new failures or errors.
These tests needed new [use_gdb_stub] checks, because they rely on
having GDB run new processes. These are guarded by a [target_info
exists noargs], which made them get skipped on native-gdbserver. But
now that the native-gdbserver board supports args, this is no longer
enough.
Note that with this change, noargs and use_gdb_stub are orthogonal. It
took me a moment to grasp this, so I thought I would spell out the
different possible situations:
- !noargs and !use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by gdb, can pass
args
- noargs and !use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by gdb (perhaps
through extended-remote protocol, the simulator, some other target),
but that target doesn't support inferior arguments
- noargs and use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by some other
program to which GDB connects using the remote protocol, that program
does not support passing args to the inferior process
- !noargs and use_gdb_stub: inferior process started by some other
program to which GDB connects u sing the remote protocol, that program
supports passing args to the inferior process

Changes in DejaGnu 1.6.2 mean that our testsuite will no longer run.
This is because of some confusion over how the gdb.exp file is
handled.
The gdb.exp file is really the tool init file, which is loaded from
within the DejaGnu core, and it should not be loaded directly from any
other file in the testsuite.
DejaGnu tries to prevent the same library being loaded twice by
remembering the names of library files as they are loaded. Until
recently loading the tool init file in DejaGnu was very similar to
loading a library file, as a result, loading the gdb.exp tool init
file simply recorded 'gdb.exp' as having been loaded, future attempts
to load 'gdb.exp' as a library would then be ignored (as the file was
marked as already loaded).
DejaGnu has now changed so that it supports having both a tool init
file and a library with the same name, something that was not possible
before. What this means however is that when the core loads the
'gdb.exp' tool init file it no longer marks the library 'gdb.exp' as
having been loaded. When we then execute 'load_lib gdb.exp' we then
try to reload the 'gdb.exp' file.
Unfortunately our gdb.exp file can only be loaded once. It use of
'rename cd builtin_cd' means that a second attempt to load this file
will fail.
This was discussed on the DejaGnu list here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2019-03/msg00000.html
and the suggested advice is that, unless we have some real requirement
to load the tool init file twice, we should remove calls to 'load_lib
gdb.exp' and rely on DejaGnu to load the file for us, which is what
this patch does.
I've tested with native X86-64/GNU Linux and see no regressions.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* config/default.exp: Remove 'load_lib gdb.exp'.
* config/monitor.exp: Likewise.
* config/sid.exp: Likewise.
* config/sim.exp: Likewise.
* config/slite.exp: Likewise.
* config/unix.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.base/default.exp: Remove unhelpful comment.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
In the config/sim.exp file two functions are defined. Both of these
functions define local timeout variables and then call gdb_expect,
which (through a call to get_largest_timeout) will find the local
definition of timeout.
However, both of these functions set the local timeout to some
arbitrary value and print a log message for this "new" timeout just
before returning.
As in both cases, the timeout is a local variable, this final setting
of the timeout has no effect and can be removed.
As having log messages about the timeout being adjusted could cause
confusion I've removed all logging related to timeouts in this
function, timeouts are adjusted throughout the testsuite without any
logging, there doesn't seem to be any good reason why these functions
should get their own logging.
With the logging gone there seems to be little need to a local timeout
variable at all, and so I've folded the local timeout directly into
the call to gdb_expect.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* config/sim.exp (gdb_target_sim): Remove redundant adjustment of
local timeout variable before return, and remove all local timeout
variable entirely.
(gdb_load): Likewise.
The 'cleanup' proc has been removed from dejagnu (Feb 15 2016). The
proc has not done anything useful since at least 2001 so removing
these calls should be harmless.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* config/sid.exp (gdb_target_sid): Remove use of cleanup.
* config/sim.exp (gdb_target_sim): Remove use of cleanup.
This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch removes support for the "set/show remotebaud" command,
which were deprecated in GDB 7.7, and should be now be removed
ahead of cutting the GDB 7.8 branch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* serial.c (_initialize_serial): Remove support for
the "set remotebaud" and "show remotebaud" commands.
* NEWS: Add entry documenting the removal of that command.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* config/monitor.exp (gdb_target_monitor): Replace use of
"set remotebaud" by "set serial baud".
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
This fills out a few of the test places where needed for Blackfin targets.

Rather than relying on the default remotetimeout value (which might be
too small for some slower devices), use the existing gdb_load_timeout
config option to set it.
This adds two new helpers for getting/setting the remotetimout to keep
the new logic simple.
