As requested, I'm sending this as a separate patch because it is ready
to be included as-is.
The idea here is that both gdb/terminal.h and gdb/gdbserver/terminal.h
share the same code, which is responsible for setting a bunch of
defines on based on the presence of termios.h and a few other headers.
This simple patch just moves this common code to common/gdb_termios.h
and makes the necessary adjustments on both GDB and gdbserver so that
they can use this new header. It also implements the some header
checks on common/common.m4.
As a bonus, gdb/gdbserver/terminal.h can be removed because it's now
empty.
Built on x86_64, no regressions found.
gdb/ChangeLog:

As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

I grew a bit tired of using ptid_get_{lwp,pid,tid} and friends, so I decided to
make it a bit easier to use by making it a proper class. The fields are now
private, so it's not possible to change a ptid_t field by mistake.
The new methods of ptid_t map to existing functions/practice like this:
ptid_t (pid, lwp, tid) -> ptid_build (pid, lwp, tid)
ptid_t (pid) -> pid_to_ptid (pid)
ptid.is_pid () -> ptid_is_pid (ptid)
ptid == other -> ptid_equal (ptid, other)
ptid != other -> !ptid_equal (ptid, other)
ptid.pid () -> ptid_get_pid (ptid)
ptid.lwp_p () -> ptid_lwp_p (ptid)
ptid.lwp () -> ptid_get_lwp (ptid)
ptid.tid_p () -> ptid_tid_p (ptid)
ptid.tid () -> ptid_get_tid (ptid)
ptid.matches (filter) -> ptid_match (ptid, filter)
I've replaced the implementation of the existing functions with calls to
the new methods. People are encouraged to gradually switch to using the
ptid_t methods instead of the functions (or we can change them all in
one pass eventually).
Also, I'm not sure if it's worth it (because of ptid_t's relatively
small size), but I have made the functions and methods take ptid_t
arguments by const reference instead of by value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/ptid.h (struct ptid): Change to...

This reporting via TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD it's totally unnecessary.
get_child_debug_event returns a TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS by default,

-Wwrite-strings flags this assignment as requiring a cast:

In some situations, the dependency tracking files in .deps can refer to
source files that were removed or renamed, leading to errors like:
make: *** No rule to make target `version.c', needed by `version.o'. Stop.
This patch makes the clean target clear the .deps directory, which gives
the user a chance to recover from the error wihtout knowing about the
internals of the build system.
It is already done for GDB. See here for more details:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-03/msg00000.html
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

I noticed that there were some missing files in gdbserver's gitignore
(some generated register format .c files). Of course the easy fix would
be to add those files to .gitignore, but I think we can do a better job,
so that we don't have to worry about adding generated files to
.gitignore or the clean Makefile target.
I suggest naming all generated source files -generated.c. This way, we
can use a single rule in .gitignore and do a "rm -f *-generated.c" to
clean them up.
New in v2:
- Don't rename version.o and xml-builtin.o
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

Assertion `frame_id_p(get_frame_id (frame))' failed.'
The register structure is the same for windowed and call0 ABIs because
currently linux kernel internally requires windowed registers, so they
are always present.

The size of the state-component bitmap as specified in
Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual,
Chapter 13.4.2 is 8 bytes.
So far, the data types used for xstate_bv_p (gdb_byte*),
clear_bv (unsigned int) and tdep->xcr0 (uint64_t) were
inconsistent. But, since the xstate components were still
fitting into a single byte, the code still worked
as expected.
However, with the addition of the PKU feature (bit 9),
using one byte for the bitmap will no longer be sufficient.
This patch changes related code to use 64 bit data types
consistently and changes read/write acces of the XSAVE
header in the xsave buffer to use the endianess-aware
functions extract_unsigned_integer and store_unsigned_integer.
This is required to make sure that eventual differences
in endianess between host and target are taken care off.

and store_unsigned_integer to read/write its value from
the xsave buffer.

Before this patch, some functions would read the inferior memory with
(*the_target)->read_memory, which returns the raw memory, rather than the
shadowed memory.
This is wrong since these functions do not expect to read a breakpoint
instruction and can lead to invalid behavior.
Use of raw memory in get_next_pcs_read_memory_unsigned_integer for example
could lead to get_next_pc returning an invalid pc.
Here's how this would happen:
In non-stop:
the user issues:
thread 1
step&
thread 2
step&
thread 3
step&
In a similar way as non-stop-fair-events.exp (threads are looping).
GDBServer:
linux_resume is called
GDBServer has pending events,
threads are not resumed and single-step breakpoint for thread 1 not installed.
linux_wait_1 is called with a pending event on thread 2 at pc A
GDBServer handles the event and calls proceed_all_lwps
This calls proceed_one_lwp and installs single-step breakpoints on all
the threads that need one.
Now since thread 1 needs to install a single-step breakpoint and is at pc B
(different than thread 2), a step-over is not initiated and get_next_pc
is called to figure out the next instruction from pc B.
However it may just be that thread 3 as a single step breakpoint at pc
B. And thus get_next_pc fails.
This situation is tested with non-stop-fair-events.exp.
In other words, single-step breakpoints are installed in proceed_one_lwp
for each thread. GDBserver proceeds two threads for resume_step, as
requested by GDB, and the thread proceeded later may see the single-step
breakpoints installed for the thread proceeded just now.
Tested on gdbserver-native/-m{thumb,arm} no regressions.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Since we don't use suffix rules nor implicit rules in gdb, we can
disable them. The advantage is a slightly faster make [1].
Here are some numbers about the speedup. I ran this on my trusty old
Intel Q6600, so the time numbers are probably higher than what you'd get
on any recent hardware. I ran "make" in the gdb/ directory of an
already built repository (configured with --enable-targets=all). I
recorded the time of execution (average of 5). I then ran "make -d" and
recorded the number of printed lines, which gives a rough idea of the
number of operations done.
I compared the following configurations, to see the impact of both the
empty .SUFFIXES target and the empty pattern rules, as well as running
"make -r", which can be considered the "ideal" case.
A - baseline
B - baseline + .SUFFIXES
C - baseline + pattern rules
D - baseline + .SUFFIXES + pattern rules
E - baseline + make -r
config | time (s) | "make -d"
-----------------------------
A | 5.74 | 2396643
B | 1.19 | 298469
C | 2.81 | 1266573
D | 1.13 | 245489
E | 1.01 | 163914
We can see that the empty .SUFFIXES target has a bigger impact than the
empty pattern rules, but still it doesn't hurt to disable the implicit
pattern rules as well.
There are still some mentions of implicit rules I can't get rid of in
the "make -d" output. For example, it's trying to build .c files from
.w files:
Looking for an implicit rule for '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'infrun'.
Trying implicit prerequisite '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.w'.
and trying to build Makefile.in from a bunch of extensions:
Looking for an implicit rule for 'Makefile.in'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.cc'.
... many more ...
If somebody knows how to disable them, we can do it, but at this point
the returns are minimal, so it is not that important.
I verified that both in-tree and out-of-tree builds work.
[1] Switching from explicit rules to pattern rules for files in
subdirectories actually made it slower, so this is kind of a way to
redeem myself. But it the end it's faster than it was previously,
so it was all worth it. :)

This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling.
#1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support
On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's
gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's
timeval_sub/timeval_add. That's because gnulib also replaces "struct
timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the
system's.
E.g., in code like this:
gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL);
timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started);
timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time,
&prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta);
That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at
all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with
if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode
adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard
errors with -Werror.
#2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic...
We're using it to:
a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis
b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop
c) print debug timestamps
But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for. Straight from
the man page:
~~~
The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by
discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system
administrator manually changes the system time). If you need a
monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2).
~~~
std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock
exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock). This commit
switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues
mentioned above.

I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.
New in v2:
- Change ordering style, directories go at the end.
- Cleanup gdbserver's and data-directory's Makefile as well.
- Add comments at top of Makefiles about the ordering.
- Remove wrong trailing backslahes.

superseeded with pattern rules. People (myself included, before writing

Since GNU make is now required to build GDB, we can remove everything
that checks whether the current make implemention is the GNU one or
not. I simply removed the @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removed the whole
lines that were prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@.
I removed the code in the configure scripts that set those variables.
I also removed the following bits from the configure scripts:
AC_CHECK_PROGS(MAKE, make): GNU make already defines a MAKE variable
internally to be used when invoking Makefiles recursively. I don't see
this variable being used anywhere else (in scripts for example), so I
think it's safe for removal.
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET: This macro defines a SET_MAKE output variable, which
is meant to be used in Makefiles to define the MAKE variable when
using an implementation of make that doesn't already define it.
Since we are now requiring GNU make, we don't need it anymore.
Plus, I don't see SET_MAKE being used anywhere, so I don't think it
was actually doing anything...

Use AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX to detect if the compiler supports C++11,
and if -std=xxx switches are necessary to enable C++11.
We need to tweak AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX a bit though. Pristine
upstream AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX appends -std=gnu++11 to CXX directly.
That doesn't work for us, because the top level Makefile passes CXX
down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever gdb/Makefile may set CXX
to. The result would be that a make invocation from the build/gdb/
directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a make
invocation at the top level would not.
So instead of having AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX set CXX directly, tweak it
to AC_SUBST a separate variable -- CXX_DIALECT -- and use '$(CXX)
(CXX_DIALECT)' to compile/link.
Confirmed that this enables C++11 starting with gcc 4.8, the first gcc
release with full C++11 support.
Also confirmed that configure errors out gracefully with older GCC
releases:
checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features by default... no
checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -std=gnu++11... no

checking whether /opt/gcc-4.7/bin/g++ supports C++11 features with -h std=c++11... no
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required.

make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/build-gcc-4.7'
If we need to revert back to making C++11 optional, all that's
necessary is to change the "mandatory" to "optional" in configure.ac
and regenerate configure (both gdb and gdbserver).

Nowadays, we select events to be reported to GDB in random, however
that is not enough when many GDBserver internal events (not reported
to GDB) are generated.
GDBserver pulls all events out of kernel via waitpid, and leave them
pending. When goes through threads which have pending events,
GDBserver uses find_inferior to find the first thread which has
pending event, and consumes it. Note that find_inferior always
iterate threads in a fixed order. If multiple threads keep hitting
GDBserver breakpoints, range stepping with single-step breakpoint for
example, threads in the head of the thread list are more likely to be
processed and threads in the tail are starved. This causes some timeout
fails in gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp when range stepping is
enabled on arm-linux.
This patch fixes this issue by randomly selecting pending events. It
adds a new function find_inferior_in_random, which iterates threads
which have pending events randomly.

Currently GDB never sends more than one action per vCont packet, when
connected in non-stop mode. A follow up patch will change that, and
it exposed a gdbserver problem with the vCont handling.
For example, this in non-stop mode:
=> vCont;s:p1.1;c
<= OK
Should be equivalent to:
=> vCont;s:p1.1
<= OK
=> vCont;c
<= OK
But gdbserver currently doesn't handle this. In the latter case,
"vCont;c" makes gdbserver clobber the previous step request. This
patch fixes that.
Note the server side must ignore resume actions for the thread that
has a pending %Stopped notification (and any other threads with events
pending), until GDB acks the notification with vStopped. Otherwise,
e.g., the following case is mishandled:
#1 => g (or any other packet)
#2 <= [registers]
#3 <= %Stopped T05 thread:p1.2
#4 => vCont s:p1.1;c
#5 <= OK
Above, the server must not resume thread p1.2 when it processes the
vCont. GDB can't know that p1.2 stopped until it acks the %Stopped
notification. (Otherwise it wouldn't send a default "c" action.)
(The vCont documentation already specifies this.)
Finally, special care must also be given to handling fork/vfork
events. A (v)fork event actually tells us that two processes stopped
-- the parent and the child. Until we follow the fork, we must not
resume the child. Therefore, if we have a pending fork follow, we
must not send a global wildcard resume action (vCont;c). We can still
send process-wide wildcards though.
(The comments above will be added as code comments to gdb in a follow
up patch.)
