This patch redefines fputs_unfiltered in utils.c, with new behavior to
forward parameters to fputs_maybe_filtered. This makes
fputs_unfiltered identical to fputs_filtered, except filtering is
disabled.
Some callers of fputs_unfiltered have been updated to use ui_file_puts
where they were using other ui_file_* functions anyway for IO.
This fixes the problem I saw with \032\032post-prompt annotation being
flushed to stdout in the wrong order.

This patch moves gdbserver to the top level.
This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still
builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will
be done in a separate patch.
[v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the
tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes
sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here.
[v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a
new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure
script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver
should be built.
[v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary
top-level dependencies.
[v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how
top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a
single, shared script.
Tested by the buildbot.

The source_cache::ensure method may throw an exception through
the invocation of source_cache::get_plain_source_lines. This
happens when the source file is not found. The expected behaviour
of "ensure" is only returning "true" or "false" according to the
documentation in the header file.
So far, if gdb is in source layout and a file is missing, you see
some outputs like below:
,---------------------------------------------.
| test.c file is loaded in the source window. |
| |
| int main() |
| ... |

| instance of 'gdb_exception_error' |
`---------------------------------------------'
Other issues have been encountered as well [1].
The patch from Pedro [2] which is about preventing exceptions
from crossing the "readline" mitigates the situation by not
causing gdb crash, but still there are lots of errors printed:
,---------------------------------------------.

There is no crash and the error message is completely
gone. Maybe it is good practice that the error is
shown inside the source window.

We assign the simulator inferior a fake ptid. If this ptid is ever
set to null_ptid then we are going to run into problems - the
simulator ptid is what we return from gdbsim_target::wait, and this in
turn is used to look up the inferior data with a call to
find_inferior_pid, which asserts the pid is not 0 (which it is in
null_pid).
This commit adds an assert that the simulator's fake pid is not
null_ptid. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

The inferior_exited_re regexp uses capturing parentheses by default:
...
set inferior_exited_re "(\\\[Inferior \[0-9\]+ \\(.*\\) exited)"
...
The parentheses are there to be able to use the expression as an atom, f.i.,
to have '+' apply to the whole regexp in "${inferior_exited_re}+".
But the capturing is not necessary, and it can be confusing because it's not
obvious in a regexp using "$inferior_exited_re (bla|bli)" that the first
captured expression is in $inferior_exited_re.
Replace by non-capturing parentheses. If we still want to capture the
expression, we can simply (and more clearly) use "($inferior_exited_re)".

In the function f77_print_array_1, the variable 'i' which holds the
index is of datatype 'int', while bounds are of datatype LONGEST. Due to
size of int being smaller than LONGEST, the variable 'i' stores
incorrect values for high indexes (higher than max limit of int). Due
to this issue in sources, two abnormal behaviors are seen while printing
arrays with high indexes (please check array-bounds-high.f90) For high
indexes with negative sign, gdb prints empty array even if the array has
elements.

Fix RISC-V native Linux support to handle a 64-bit FPU (FLEN == 64) with
both RV32 and RV64 systems, which is a part of the current Linux ABI for
hard-float systems, rather than assuming that (FLEN == XLEN) in target
description determination and that (FLEN == 64) in register access.
We can do better however and not rely on any particular value of FLEN
and probe for it dynamically, by observing that the PTRACE_GETREGSET
ptrace(2) call will only accept an exact regset size, and that will
reflect FLEN. Therefore iterate over the call in target description
determination with a geometrically increasing regset size until a match
is marked by a successful ptrace(2) call completion or we run beyond the
maximum size we can support.
Update register accessors accordingly, using FLEN determined to size the
buffer used for NT_PRSTATUS requests and then to exchange data with the
regcache.
Also handle a glibc bug where ELF_NFPREG is defined in terms of NFPREG,
however NFPREG is nowhere defined.

When the command "info registers" (same as "info registers general"),
is issued, _all_ the registers from a tdesc XML are printed. This
includes the registers with empty register groups (set as "") which
are supposed to be only printed by "info registers all" (or "info
all-registers").
This bug got introduced after all the overhauls that the
tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p() went through. You can see that the
logic of tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p() did NOT remain the same after
all those changes:
git difftool c9c895b9666..HEAD -- gdb/target-descriptions.c
With the current implementation, when the reg->group is an empty
string, this function returns -1, while in the working revision
(c9c895b966), it returned 0. This patch makes sure that the 0 is
returned again.
The old implementation of tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p() returned
-1 when "reggroup" was set to "all_reggroups" at line 4 below:
1 tdesc_register_reggroup_p (...)
2 {
3 ...
4 ret = tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p (gdbarch, regno, reggroup);
5 if (ret != -1)
6 return ret;
7
8 return default_register_reggroup_p (gdbarch, regno, reggroup);
9 }
As a result, the execution continued at line 8 and the
default_register_reggroup_p(..., reggroup=all_reggroups) would
return 1. However, with the current implementation of
tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p() that allows checking against any
arbitrary group name, it returns 0 when comparing the "reg->group"
against the string "all" which is the group name for "all_reggroups".
I have added a special check to cover this case and
"info all-registers" works as expected.

* target-descriptions.c (tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p): Return 0
when reg->group is empty and reggroup is not.

In TUI mode, if the disassembly output for the program is less than
one screen long, then currently if the user scrolls down until on the
last assembly instruction is displayed and then tries to scroll up
using Page-Up, the display doesn't update - they are stuck viewing the
last line.
If the user tries to scroll up using the Up-Arrow, then the display
scrolls normally.
What is happening is on the Page-Up we ask GDB to scroll backward the
same number of lines as the height of the TUI ASM window. The back
scanner, which looks for a good place to start disassembling, fails to
find a starting address which will provide the requested number of new
lines before we get back to the original starting address (which is
not surprising, our whole program contains less than a screen height
of instructions), as a result the back scanner gives up and returns
the original starting address.
When we scroll with Up-Arrow we only ask the back scanner to find 1
new instruction, which it manages to do, so this scroll works.
The solution here is, when we fail to find enough instructions, to
return the lowest address we did manage to find. This will ensure we
jump to the lowest possible address in the disassembly output.

While testing a GCC 10 build of our git HEAD, Sergio noticed an error
triggered by -Werror-stringop on
infcmd.c:construct_inferior_arguments. One of the things the function
does is calculate the length of the string that will hold the
inferior's arguments. GCC warns us that 'length' can be 0, which can
lead to undesired behaviour:
../../gdb/infcmd.c: In function 'char* construct_inferior_arguments(int, char**)':
../../gdb/infcmd.c:369:17: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
369 | result[0] = '\0';
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
../../gdb/infcmd.c:368:33: note: at offset 0 to an object with size 0 allocated by 'xmalloc' here
368 | result = (char *) xmalloc (length);
| ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~
The solution here is to assert that 'argc' is greater than 0 on entry,
which makes GCC understand that the loops always run at least once,
and thus 'length' is always > 0.
Tested by rebuilding.

An error in commit 42cd72aa02 caused
srv_tgtobj to be overwritten and linux-ppc-low.o to be missed when
linking gdbserver for Linux on PowerPC. This patch fixes the error.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

* configure.srv (powerpc*-*-linux*): Use srv_tgtobj in second

New in v5:
- Use gdb_test_name for gdb_test_multiple.
- Use gdb_assert.
- Verify count matches the expected sigtraps exactly.
New in v4:
- Fix formatting nit in gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/aarch64-brk-patterns.c.
New in v3:
- Minor formatting and code cleanups.
- Added count check to validate number of brk SIGTRAP's.
- Moved count to SIGTRAP check conditional block.
This test exercises the previous patch's code and makes sure GDB can
properly get a SIGTRAP from various brk instruction patterns.
GDB needs to be able to see the program exiting normally. If GDB doesn't
support the additional brk instructions, we will see timeouts.
We bail out with the first timeout since we won't be able to step through
the program breakpoint anyway, so it is no use carrying on.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-01-29 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* gdb.arch/aarch64-brk-patterns.c: New source file.
* gdb.arch/aarch64-brk-patterns.exp: New test.
New in v3:
- Code cleanups based on reviews.
New in v2:
- Fixed misc problems based on reviews.
- Switched to using gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p as opposed to
gdbarch_insn_is_breakpoint.
- Fixed matching of brk instructions. Previously the mask was incorrect, which
was showing up as a few failures in the testsuite. Now it is clean.
- New testcase (separate patch).
- Moved program_breakpoint_here () to arch-utils.c and made it the default
implementation of gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p.

It was reported to me that program breakpoints (permanent ones inserted into
the code itself) other than the one GDB uses for AArch64 (0xd4200000) do not
generate visible stops when continuing, and GDB will continue spinning
infinitely.
This happens because GDB, upon hitting one of those program breakpoints, thinks
the SIGTRAP came from a delayed breakpoint hit...

Otherwise GDB will keep trying to resume the inferior and will keep
seeing the SIGTRAP's, without stopping.
To the user it appears GDB has gone into an infinite loop, interruptible only
by Ctrl-C.
Also, windbg seems to use a different variation of AArch64 breakpoint compared
to GDB. This causes problems when debugging Windows on ARM binaries, when
program breakpoints are being used.
The proposed patch creates a new gdbarch method (gdbarch_program_breakpoint_here_p)
that tells GDB whether the underlying instruction is a breakpoint instruction
or not.
This is more general than only checking for the instruction GDB uses as
breakpoint.
The existing logic is still preserved for targets that do not implement this
new gdbarch method.
The end result is like so:

I ran into:
...
Thread 3.1 "watchpoint-fork" hit Breakpoint 3, marker () at \

42 }^M
(gdb) parent2: 1945^M

The problem is that the FAILing gdb_test expects '(gdb) ' to be the last thing
printed, but the inferior prints something after that.
A similar FAIL is described in the sources in watchpoint-fork-parent.c:
...
printf ("child%d: %d\n", nr, (int) getpid ());
/* Delay to get both the "child%d" and "parent%d" message printed

i = sleep (1);
...
I noticed that while the executables print output, the output is not verified in
the test-case, so it's merely debug output.
Fix this by:
- guarding the prints in the executables (as well as related
sleep and setbuf calls) with #if DEBUG, and
- compiling by default with DEBUG=0.

The address was written as a long value, but long is always a 32bit value

There are a couple problems with this test.
First
--
gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp records the address of a syscall instruction
within fork/vfork/clone functions and also the address of the instruction
after that syscall instruction.
It uses these couples addresses to make sure we stepped over a syscall
instruction (fork/vfork/clone events) correctly.
The way the test fetches the addresses of the instructions is by stepi-ing
its way through the fork/vfork/clone functions until it finds a match for
a syscall. Then it stepi's once again to get the address of the next
instruction.
This assumes that stepi-ing over a syscall is working correctly and landing
in the right PC. This is not the case for AArch64/Linux, where we're
landing a couple instructions after the syscall in some cases.
The following patch lets the test execute as before, but adds a new instruction
address check using the x command as opposed to stepi.
I didn't want to change how the test works since we may also be
interested in checking if stepi-ing over the syscall under different
conditions (displaced stepping on/off) yields the same results. I don't
feel strongly about this, so i'm OK with changing how we compare PC's for
the entire test if folks decide it is reasonable.
Second
--
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: vfork: displaced=off: continue to vfork (3rd time) (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: vfork: displaced=off: continue to syscall insn vfork (the program is no longer running)
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: vfork: displaced=off: single step over vfork (the program is no longer running)
Depending on the glibc version we may have different code generated for the
fork/vfork/clone functions.
I ran into the situation where vfork for newer glibc's on AArch64/Linux is
very short, so "break vfork" will put a breakpoint right at the syscall
instruction, which is something the testcase isn't expecting (a off-by-1
of sorts).
The patch adds extra code to handle this case. If the test detects we're
already sitting at a syscall instruction, it records the address and moves
on to record the address after that particular instruction.
Another measure is to "break *$syscall" instead of "break $syscall". That
guarantees we're stopping at the first instruction of the syscall function,
if it ever happens that the syscall instruction is the first instruction of
those functions.
With these changes i can fix some failures for aarch64-linux-gnu and also
expose the problems i've reported here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-12/msg01071.html
These tests now fail for aarch64-linux-gnu (patch for this is going through
reviews):
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: vfork: displaced=off: pc after stepi matches insn addr after syscall
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: vfork: displaced=on: pc after stepi matches insn addr after syscall

This patch removes the "readin" and "compunit_symtab" members from
partial_symtab, replacing them with methods. Then it introduces a new
"standard_psymtab" class, which restores these members; and changes
the symbol readers to use this intermediate class as the base class of
their partial symtab subclasses.
The reason for this is to make it possible for a symbol reader to
implement an alternate mapping between partial and full symbol tables.
This is important in order to be able to share psymtabs across
objfiles -- whether a psymtab has been "readin" is objfile-dependent,
as are the pointers to the full symbol tables.

The symbol readers generally used two functions to expand a partial
symtab: an outer function (now the "read_symtab" method), and an inner
function, typically named something like "psymtab_to_symtab".
This patch changes this second step to be a method on partial_symtab,
and updates all the callers. For legacy_psymtab, a new function
pointer member is introduced.
This patch enables a subsequent cleanup.

This introduces a new partial_symtab::read_symtab method, and updates
the symbol readers to subclass partial_symtab and implement this
method. The old read_symtab and read_symtab_private members are
removed.
In practice, only DWARF and CTF are truly updated to take advantage of
the new setup. The other symbol readers are less actively maintained,
and so this patch also introduces a "legacy_psymtab", which
essentially works the same way as the old partial_symtab.
(Note that, without more knowledge of the interaction between these
symbol readers, fixing this to remove the new (small) overhead is not
trivial, because these readers copy the read_symtab pointer between
partial symtabs.)

This turns start_psymtab_common into a constructor, and then changes
the callers to use "new" directly. This completes the psymtab
allocation transition -- now it is possible for symbol readers to
subclass struct partial_symtab.

This is the next step in getting the symbol readers to allocate
psymtabs themselves: change allocate_psymtab to be an ordinary
constructor, and then use "new" at the previous call sites. Note that
this doesn't get us all the way -- start_psymtab_common is still
allocating a partial symtab.

Currently, partial symbol tables are allocated by a method in
psymtab_storage. However, eventually we want to subclass partial
symtabs in the symbol readers, so the calls to "new" will have to
happen there. This patch is a first step, moving the allocation from
psymtab_storage and into allocate_psymtab.

From what I can tell, The m68k floating point target feature should
apparently always be called "org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.fp" -- even when the
primary feature is not "coldfire", because m68k_gdbarch_init only
checks for this feature when assigning register numbers.
However, the floating point registers are expected to match what gdb
thinks are the register sizes for the primary feature. For example,
if the main feature is "coldfire", then the floating point registers
should be 64 bits.
See this note for some an instance of this confusion:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-06/msg04564.html
This patch documents the oddity.
Let me know what you think. An alternate approach here might be to
make gdb adapt to the register sizes as actually reported. I'm not
sure if this makes sense or not.

* gdb.base/attach.exp: Test 'set exec-file-mismatch'.
This option allows to tell GDB to detect and possibly handle mismatched exec-files.
A recurrent problem with GDB is that GDB uses the wrong exec-file
when using the attach/detach commands successively.
Also, in case the user specifies a file on the command line but attaches
to the wrong PID, this error is not made visible and gives a not user
understandable behaviour.
For example:

The second attach has kept the executable of the first attach.
(in this case, 31069 is the PID of a GDB, that has nothing to do
with the first determined 'sleepers' executable).

we get:

And it is unclear to the user what has happened/what is going wrong.
This patch series implements a new option:
(gdb) apropos exec-file-mismatch
set exec-file-mismatch -- Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
show exec-file-mismatch -- Show exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
(gdb) help set exec-file-mismatch
Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
Specifies how to handle a mismatch between the current exec-file name
loaded by GDB and the exec-file name automatically determined when attaching
to a process:
ask - warn the user and ask whether to load the determined exec-file.
warn - warn the user, but do not change the exec-file.
off - do not check for mismatch.
"ask" means: in case of mismatch between the current exec-file name
and the automatically determined exec-file name of the PID we are attaching to,
give a warning to the user and ask whether to load the automatically determined
exec-file.
"warn" means: in case of mismatch, just give a warning to the user.
"off" means: do not check for mismatch.
This fixes PR gdb/17626.
There was a previous trial to fix this PR.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00118.html
This trial was however only fixing the problem for the automatically
determined executable files when doing attach.
It was differentiating the 'user specified executable files' ("sticky")
from the executable files automatically found by GDB.
But such user specified sticky executables are in most cases due
to a wrong manipulation by the user, giving unexpected results
such as backtrace showing no function like in the above example.
This patch ensures that whenever a process executable can be
determined, that the user is warned if there is a mismatch.
The same tests as above then give:

In other words, it now works as intuitively expected by the user.
If ever the user gave the correct executable on the command line,
then attached to the wrong pid, then confirmed loading the wrong executable,
the user can simply fix this by detaching, and attaching to the correct pid,
GDB will then tell again to the user that the exec-file might better
be loaded.
The default value of "ask" is chosen instead of e.g. "warn" as in most
cases, switching of executable will be the correct action,
and in any case, the user can decide to not load the executable,
as GDB asks a confirmation to the user to load the new executable.
For settings "ask" and "warn", the new function validate_exec_file ()
tries to get the inferior pid exec file and compares it with the current
exec file. In case of mismatch, it warns the user and optionally load
the executable.
This function is called in the attach_command implementation to cover
most cases of attaching to a running process.
It must also be called in remote.c, as the attach command is not supported
for all types of remote gdbserver.

This commit improves GDB's handling of inline functions when there are
more than one inline function in a stack, so for example if we have a
stack like:
main -> aaa -> bbb -> ccc -> ddd
And aaa, bbb, and ccc are all inline within main GDB should (when
given sufficient debug information) be able to step from main through
aaa, bbb, and ccc. Unfortunately, this currently doesn't work, here's
an example session:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4003b0: file test.c, line 38.
Starting program: /project/gdb/tests/inline/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:38

39 return aaa () + 1;

39 return aaa () + 1;

39 return aaa () + 1;

32 return global_var;
(gdb) bt
#0 ddd () at test.c:32
#1 0x00000000004003c1 in ccc () at test.c:39
#2 bbb () at test.c:26
#3 aaa () at test.c:14
#4 main () at test.c:39
Notice that once we get to line 39 in main, GDB keeps reporting line
39 in main as the location despite understanding that the inferior is
stepping through the nested inline functions with each use of step.
The problem is that as soon as the inferior stops we call
skip_inline_frames (from inline-frame.c) which calculates the
inferiors current state in relation to inline functions - it figures
out if we're in an inline function, and if we are counts how many
inline frames there are at the current location.
So, in our example above, when we step from line 38 in main to line 39
we stop at a location that is simultaneously in all of main, aaa, bbb,
and ccc. The block structure reflects the order in which the
functions would be called, with ccc being the most inner block and
main being the most outer block. When we stop GDB naturally finds the
block for ccc, however within skip_inline_frames we spot that bbb,
aaa, and main are super-blocks of the current location and that each
layer represents an inline function. The skip_inline_frames then
records the depth of inline functions (3 in this case for aaa, bbb,
and ccc) and also the symbol of the outermost inline function (in this
case 'aaa' as main isn't an inline function, it just has things inline
within it).
Now GDB understands the stack to be main -> aaa -> bbb -> ccc,
however, the state initialised in skip_inline_frames starts off
indicating that we should hide 3 frames from the user, so we report
that we're in main at line 39. The location of main, line 39 is
derived by asking the inline function state for the last symbol in the
stack (aaa in this case), and then asking for it's location - the
location of an inlined function symbol is its call site, so main, line
39 in this case.
If the user then asks GDB to step we don't actually move the inferior
at all, instead we spot that we are in an inline function stack,
lookup the inline state data, and reduce the skip depth by 1. We then
report to the user that GDB has stopped. GDB now understands that we
are in 'aaa'. In order to get the precise location we again ask GDB
for the last symbol from the inline data structure, and we are again
told 'aaa', we then get the location from 'aaa', and report that we
are in main, line 39.
Hopefully it's clear what the mistake here is, once we've reduced the
inline skip depth we should not be using 'aaa' to compute the precise
location, instead we should be using 'bbb'. That is what this patch
does.
Now, when we call skip_inline_frames instead of just recording the
last skipped symbol we now record all symbols in the inline frame
stack. When we ask GDB for the last skipped symbol we return a symbol
based on how many frames we are skipping, not just the last know
symbol.
With this fix in place, the same session as above now looks much
better:

GCC 10 currently generates a line table like this (as shown by
objdump):
CU: ./test.c:
File name Line number Starting address
test.c 4 0x4004b0
test.c 5 0x4004b0
test.c 6 0x4004b6
test.c 6 0x4004b7
test.c 14 0x4003b0
test.c 15 0x4003b0
test.c 16 0x4003ba
test.c 10 0x4003ba
test.c 10 0x4003c1
The interesting entries are those for lines 16 and 10 at address
0x4003ba, these represent the call to foo and the inlined body of
foo.
With the current line table sorting GDB builds the line table like
this (as shown by 'maintenance info line-table'):
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 14 0x00000000004003b0
1 15 0x00000000004003b0
2 10 0x00000000004003ba
3 16 0x00000000004003ba
4 END 0x00000000004003c1
5 4 0x00000000004004b0
6 5 0x00000000004004b0
7 END 0x00000000004004b7
Notice that entries 2 and 3 for lines 10 and 16 are now in a different
order to the line table as given by the compiler. With this patch
applied the order is now:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 14 0x00000000004003b0
1 15 0x00000000004003b0
2 16 0x00000000004003ba
3 10 0x00000000004003ba
4 END 0x00000000004003c1
5 4 0x00000000004004b0
6 5 0x00000000004004b0
7 END 0x00000000004004b7
Notice that entries 2 and 3 are now in their original order again.
The consequence of the incorrect ordering is that when stepping
through inlined functions GDB will display the wrong line for the
inner most frame. Here's a GDB session before this patch is applied:
Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/inline/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:15
15 /* 15 */ global_var = 0;
(gdb) step
16 /* 16 */ return foo ();
(gdb) step
foo () at test.c:16
16 /* 16 */ return foo ();
(gdb) step
bar () at test.c:5
5 /* 5 */ return global_var;
The step from line 15 to 16 was fine, but the next step should have
taken us to line 10, instead we are left at line 16. The final step
to line 5 is as expected.
With this patch applied the session goes better:
Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/inline/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:15
15 /* 15 */ global_var = 0;
(gdb) step
16 /* 16 */ return foo ();
(gdb) step
foo () at test.c:10
10 /* 10 */ return bar ();
(gdb) step
bar () at test.c:5
5 /* 5 */ return global_var;
We now visit the lines as 15, 16, 10, 5 as we would like.
The reason for this issue is that the inline frame unwinder is
detecting that foo is inlined in main. When we stop at the shared
address 0x4003ba the inline frame unwinder first shows us the outer
frame, this information is extracted from the DWARF's
DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine entries and passed via GDB's block data.
When we step again the inlined frame unwinder moves us up the call
stack to the inner most frame at which point the frame is displayed as
normal, with the location for the address being looked up in the line
table.
As GDB uses the last line table entry for an address as "the" line to
report for that address it is critical that GDB maintain the order of
the line table entries. In the first case, by reordering the line
table we report the wrong location.
I had to make a small adjustment in find_pc_sect_line in order to
correctly find the previous line in the line table. In some line
tables I was seeing an actual line entry and an end of sequence marker
at the same address, before this commit these would reorder to move
the end of sequence marker before the line entry (end of sequence has
line number 0). Now the end of sequence marker remains in its correct
location, and in order to find a previous line we should step backward
over any end of sequence markers.
As an example, the binary:
gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func/dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold
Has this line table before the patch:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 48 0x0000000000400487
1 END 0x000000000040048e
2 52 0x000000000040048e
3 54 0x0000000000400492
4 56 0x0000000000400497
5 END 0x000000000040049a
6 62 0x000000000040049a
7 END 0x00000000004004a1

15 80 0x00000000004004c5
16 END 0x00000000004004cc
And after this patch:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 48 0x0000000000400487
1 52 0x000000000040048e
2 END 0x000000000040048e
3 54 0x0000000000400492
4 56 0x0000000000400497
5 END 0x000000000040049a
6 62 0x000000000040049a

14 78 0x00000000004004c0
15 80 0x00000000004004c5
16 END 0x00000000004004cc
When calling find_pc_sect_line with the address 0x000000000040048e, in
both cases we find entry #3, we then try to find the previous entry,
which originally found this entry '2 52 0x000000000040048e',
after the patch it finds '2 END 0x000000000040048e', which
cases the lookup to fail.
By skipping the END marker after this patch we get back to the correct
entry, which is now #1: '1 52 0x000000000040048e', and
everything works again.

In this commit:
commit d9b3de22f3
Date: Wed May 27 14:44:29 2015 -0700
Add struct to record dwarf line number state machine.
I believe an unintended change was made to how we store the DWARF line
table, the end of sequence markers between sequences of lines were
lost from the line table.
This commit fixes this small oversight and restores the end of
sequence markers.
Given that we've survived this long without noticing is clearly an
indication that this isn't that serious, however, a later patch that I
am developing would benefit from having the markers in place, so I'd
like to restore them.
Having the markers also means that the output of 'maintenance info
line-table' now more closely reflects the DWARF line table.
I've taken this opportunity to improve how 'maintenance info
line-table' displays the end of sequence markers - it now uses the END
keyword, rather than just printing an entry with line number 0. So we
see this:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 12 0x00000000004003b0
1 17 0x00000000004003b0
2 18 0x00000000004003b0
3 END 0x00000000004003b7
4 5 0x00000000004004a0
5 6 0x00000000004004a0
6 END 0x00000000004004a7
Instead of what we would have seen, which was this:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 12 0x00000000004003b0
1 17 0x00000000004003b0
2 18 0x00000000004003b0
3 0 0x00000000004003b7
4 5 0x00000000004004a0
5 6 0x00000000004004a0
6 0 0x00000000004004a7
I've added a small test that uses 'maintenance info line-table' to
ensure that we don't regress this again.

This fixes a latent bug exposed by the multi-target patch (5b6d1e4fa
"Multi-target support), and then fixes two other latent bugs exposed
by fixing that first latent bug.
The symptom described in the bug report is that starting a first
inferior, then trying to run a second (multi-threaded) inferior twice,
causes libthread_db to fail to load, along with other erratic
behavior:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/foo
warning: td_ta_new failed: generic error
Going a bit deeply, I found that if the two inferiors have different
symbols, we can see that just after inferior 2 exits, we are left with
inferior 2 selected, which is correct, but the symbols in scope belong
to inferior 1, which is obviously incorrect...
This problem is that there's a path in
scoped_restore_current_thread::restore() that switches to no thread
selected, and switches the current inferior, but leaves the current
program space as is, resulting in leaving the program space pointing
to the wrong program space (the one of the other inferior). This was
happening after handling TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which is an event
that triggers after TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED for the previous inferior
exit. Subsequent symbol lookups find the symbols of the wrong
inferior.
The fix is to use switch_to_inferior_no_thread in that problem spot.
This function was recently added along with the multi-target work
exactly for these situations.
As for testing, this patch adds a new testcase that tests symbol
printing just after inferior exit, which exercises the root cause of
the problem more directly. And then, to cover the use case described
in the bug too, it also exercises the lithread_db.so mis-loading, by
using TLS printing as a proxy for being sure that threaded debugging
was activated sucessfully. The testcase fails without the fix like
this, for the "print symbol just after exit" bits:
...
[Inferior 1 (process 8719) exited normally]
(gdb) PASS: gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp: re_run_inf=1: iter=1: continue until exit

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp: re_run_inf=1: iter=1: print re_run_var_1
...
And like this for the "libthread_db.so loading" bits:
(gdb) run

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp: re_run_inf=1: iter=2: print tls_var
As mentioned, that fix above goes on to expose a couple other latent
bugs. This commit fixes those as well.
The first latent bug exposed is in
infrun.c:handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit. The current code is leaving
inf->pspace == NULL while calling clone_program_space. The idea was
to make it so that the breakpoints module doesn't use this inferior's
pspace to set breakpoints. With that, any
scoped_restore_current_thread use from within clone_program_space
tries to restore a NULL program space, which hits an assertion:
Attaching after Thread 0x7ffff74b8700 (LWP 27276) vfork to child process 27277]

d.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/vfork-follow-child-exit.exp: detach-on-fork=off: continue (GDB internal error)
That NULL pspace idea was legitimate, but it's no longer necessary,
since commit b2e586e850 ("Defer breakpoint reset when cloning
progspace for fork child"). So the fix is to just set the inferior's
program space earlier.
The other latent bug exposed is in exec.c. When exec_close is called
from the program_space destructor, it is purposedly called with a
current program space that is not the current inferior's program
space. The problem is that the multi-target work added some code to
remove_target_sections that loops over all inferiors, and uses
scoped_restore_current_thread to save/restore the previous
thread/inferior/frame state. This makes it so that exec_close returns
with the current program space set to the current inferior's program
space, which is exactly what we did not want. Then the program_space
destructor continues into free_all_objfiles, but it is now running
that method on the wrong program space, resulting in:

further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited (GDB internal error)
The fix is to use scoped_restore_current_pspace_and_thread instead of
scoped_restore_current_thread.

This is an update of this patch:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-09/msg00884.html
This patch attempts to address PR gdb/23718 by re-enabling stdin
whenever an exception is caught during gdb.execute().
When Python gdb.execute() is called, an exception could occur (e.g. the
target disappearing), which is then converted into a Python exception. If
stdin was disabled before the exception is caught, it is not re-enabled,
because the exception doesn't propagate to the top level of the event loop,
whose catch block would otherwise enable it.
The result is that when execution of a Python script completes, GDB does
not prompt or accept input, and is effectively hung.
This change rectifies the issue by re-enabling stdin in the catch block of
execute_gdb_command, prior to converting the exception to a Python
exception.
Since this patch was originally posted I've added a test, and also I
converted the code to re-enable stdin from this:
SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS ()
{
async_enable_stdin ();
}
to simply this:
async_enable_stdin ();
My reasoning is that we only need the SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS if, at the time
the exception is caught, the current_ui might be different than at the time
we called async_disable_stdin. Within python's execute_gdb_command I think
it should be impossible to switch current_ui, so the SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS
isn't needed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/23718
* gdb/python/python.c (execute_gdb_command): Call

If we catch an exception in start_event_loop's call to
gdb_do_one_event, then it is possible that the current_ui has changed
since we called async_disable_stdin. If that's the case then calling
async_enable_stdin will be called on the wrong UI.
To solve this problem we wrap the call to async_enable_stdin with
SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS, this causes us to try and re-enable stdin for all
UIs, which will catch any for which we called async_disable_stdin.

This started as a patch to enable the asm window to handle attempts to
disassemble invalid memory, but it ended up expanding into a
significant rewrite of how the asm window handles scrolling. These
two things ended up being tied together as it was impossible to
correctly test scrolling into invalid memory when the asm window would
randomly behave weirdly while scrolling.
Things that should work nicely now; scrolling to the bottom or top of
the listing with PageUp, PageDown, Up Arrow, Down Arrow and we should
be able to scroll past small areas of memory that don't have symbols
associated with them. It should also be possible to scroll to the
start of a section even if there's no symbol at the start of the
section.
Adding tests for this scrolling was a little bit of a problem. First
I would have liked to add tests for PageUp / PageDown, but the tuiterm
library we use doesn't support these commands right now due to only
emulating a basic ascii terminal. Changing this to emulate a more
complex terminal would require adding support for more escape sequence
control codes, so I've not tried to tackle that in this patch.
Next, I would have liked to test scrolling to the start or end of the
assembler listing and then trying to scroll even more, however, this
is a problem because in a well behaving GDB a scroll at the start/end
has no effect. What we need to do is:
- Move to start of assembler listing,
- Send scroll up command,
- Wait for all curses output,
- Ensure the assembler listing is unchanged, we're still at the
start of the listing.
The problem is that there is no curses output, so how long do we wait
at step 3? The same problem exists for scrolling to the bottom of the
assembler listing. However, when scrolling down you can at least see
the end coming, so I added a test for this case, however, this feels
like an area of code that is massively under tested.

Fix it by moving the declaration of `inf` in the specific scopes that
need it. I think it's clearer this way anyway, as it shows that it's
not the same `inf` that is used in these different scopes.
Thanks to Iain Sandoe for reporting this. I did not see this error at
first, because I compile with the default system compiler on macOS,
which is clang. The compiler flag we try to enable for this is
`-Wshadow=local`, which is not one recognized by clang. I checked to
see if there would a version of the -Wshadow* warnings [1] we could
enable for clang, that would catch this, but the only one that would is
`-Wshadow` itself, and this is too invasive for us (which is why we
enabled just -Wshadow=local in the first place).

gdb/ChangeLog:
* darwin-nat.c (darwin_nat_target::wait_1): Move `inf`
declaration to narrower scopes.
The darwin-nat.c file doesn't build since the multi-target changes
(5b6d1e4f, "Multi-target support"). This patch makes it build. I have
access to a macOS vm, so I am able to build it, but I wasn't able to
successfully codesign it and try to actually debug something, so I don't
know if it works. I don't have much more time to put on this to figure
it out, so I thought I'd sent the patch anyway, as it's at least a step
in the right direction.
The bulk of the patch is to change a bunch of functions to be methods of
the darwin_nat_target object, so that this can pass `this` to
find_inferior_ptid and other functions that now require a
process_stratum_target pointer.
The darwin_ptrace_him function (renamed to darwin_nat_target::ptrace_him
in this patch) is passed to fork_inferior as the `init_trace_fun`
parameter. Since the method can't be passed as a plain function pointer
(we need the `this` pointer), I changed the `init_trace_fun` parameter
of fork_inferior to be a gdb::function_view, so we can pass a lambda and
capture `this`.
The changes in darwin-nat.h are only to move definition higher in the
file, so that forward declarations are not needed.

Each time a dll is loaded, update_solib_list is called.
This in turn calls deep down xfer_partial -> windows_xfer_shared_libraries,
which calls windows_xfer_shared_library for each loaded dll,
and pe_text_section_offset reads the dll for the text section offset.
Also if the data provided by xfer_partial is bigger than 4K,
then all of this is done for each 4K chunk (see target_read_alloc_1).
Caching of the text section offset improves the startup time of
an application with >300 dynamically loaded plugins from 2m10s to 10s.
And the shutdown time improves from 2m to 2s.

gdb: add back declarations for _initialize functions
6c2659886f
I wrongfully edited gdbarch.c, instead of editing gdbarch.sh and
re-generating gdbarch.c. This patch fixes gdbarch.sh to add a
declaration for _initialize_gdbarch. gdbarch.c is not changed, as the
output of gdbarch.sh now matches the current state of gdbarch.c.

While GNU Source Highlight is good, it's also difficult to build and
distribute. For one thing, it needs Boost. For another, it has an
unusual configuration and installation setup.
Pygments, a Python library, doesn't suffer from these issues, and so I
thought it would be a reasonable fallback.
This patch implements this idea. GNU Source Highlight is preferred,
but if it is unavailable (or fails), the extension languages are
tried. This patch also implements support for Pygments.
Something similar could be done for Guile, using:
https://dthompson.us/projects/guile-syntax-highlight.html
However, I don't know enough about Guile internals to make this
happen, so I have not done it here.

* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_displaced_step_fixup): Add more debugging

In particular, this one:
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: fork: displaced=on: check_pc_after_cross_syscall: single step over fork final pc
When ptrace fork event reporting is enabled, GDB gets a PTRACE_EVENT_FORK
event whenever the inferior executes the fork syscall.
Then the logic is that GDB needs to step the inferior yet again in order to
receive a predetermined SIGTRAP, but no execution takes place because the
signal was already queued for delivery. That means the PC should stay the same.
I noticed the aarch64 code is currently adjusting the PC in this situation,
making the inferior skip an instruction without executing it.
The following change checks if we did not execute the instruction
(pc - to == 0), making proper adjustments for such case.
Regression tested on aarch64-linux-gnu on the tryserver.

When running a program with the simulator target, I get:
/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inferior.c:279: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(process_stratum_target*, int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
This can be reproduced by building a GDB for --target=arm-none-gnueabi,
and running with
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory a.out -ex "target sim" -ex load -ex "b main" -ex r
Where a.out is any program with a main.
The problem is that gdbsim_target::wait assumes that inferior_ptid has
the value of the thread it wants to report an event for.
Actually, it's the target's responsibility to come up with the ptid of
the thread the event is for. In the sim target, that ptid is stored in
sim_inferior_data::remote_sim_ptid, so return that instead of
inferior_ptid.
ChangeLog:
* remote-sim.c (gdbsim_target::wait): Return
sim_data->remote_sim_ptid instead of inferior_ptid.

This moves many needed configure checks from gdb and gdbserver into
common.m4. This helps gdbsupport, nat, and target be self-contained.
The result is a bit spaghetti-ish, because gdbsupport uses another m4
file from gdb/. The resulting code is somewhat non-obvious. However,
these problems already exist, so it's not really that much worse than
what is already done.

This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.

I ended up debugging a malformed ELF where a section containing
executable code was not correctly marked as allocatable. Before
realising the ELF was corrupted I tried to place a breakpoint on a
symbol in the non-allocatable, executable section, and GDB crashed.
Though trying to debug such an ELF clearly isn't going to go well I
would prefer, as far as possible, that any input, no matter how
corrupted, not crash GDB.
The crash occurs when trying to set a breakpoint on the name of a
function from the corrupted section. GDB converts the symbol to a
symtab_and_line, and looks up a suitable section for this.
The problem is that the section is actually an obj_section, which is
stored in the table within the objfile, and we only initialise this
table for allocatable sections (see add_to_objfile_sections_full in
objfiles.c). So, if the symbol is in a non-allocatable section then
we end up referencing an uninitialised obj_section.
Later we call get_sal_arch on the symtab_and_line, which calls
get_objfile_arch, which uses the objfile from the uninitialised
obj_section, which will be nullptr, at which point GDB crashes.
The fix I propose here is that when we setup the section references on
msymbols, we should check if the bfd_section being referenced is
allocatable or not. If it is not then we should set the section
reference back to the default 0 section (see how MSYMBOL_OBJ_SECTION
and SYMBOL_OBJ_SECTION treat the 0 section index).
With this fix in place GDB no longer crashes. Instead GDB creates the
breakpoint at the non-allocated address, and then fails, with an
error, when it tries to insert the breakpoint.

Fixes a bug in the DWARF assembler that prevents multiple line tables
from being created in a test. We currently don't initialise a couple
of flags, as a result we will only ever generate one end of file list,
and one end of header, in the first line table. Any additional line
tables will be missing these parts, and will therefore be corrupt.
This fix will be required for a later commit. There should be no
change in the testsuite after this commit.

* Process debug_str_offsets section. Handle DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute and

* Make addr_base field in dwarf2_cu optional to disambiguate 0 value
(absent or present and 0).
* During parsing, there is no guarantee that DW_AT_str_offsets_base and
DW_AT_rnglists_base fields will be processed before the attributes that need
those values for correct computation. So make two passes, on the first one mark
the attributes that depend on *_base attributes and process only the others.
On the second pass, only process the attributes that are marked on the first
pass.
* For string attributes, differentiate between addresses that directly point to
a string and those that point to an offset in debug_str_offsets section.
* There are now two attributes, DW_AT_addr_base and DW_AT_GNU_addr_base to read
address offset base. Likewise, there are two attributes, DW_AT_rnglists_base
and DW_AT_GNU_ranges_base to read ranges base. Since there is no guarantee which
ones the compiler will generate, create helper functions to handle all cases.
Tested with CC=/usr/bin/gcc (version 8.3.0) against master branch (also with
-gsplit-dwarf and -gdwarf-4 flags) and there was no increase in the set of
tests that fails. (gdb still cannot debug a 'hello world' program with DWARF 5,
so for the time being, this is all we care about).
This is part of an effort to support DWARF-5 in gdb.
Since the data held by the `contents` variable is arbitrary binary data,
it should have gdb_byte elements, not char elements. Also, using
gdb::byte_vector is preferable, since it doesn't unnecessarily
zero-initialize the values.

I have changed core_read_registers' argument to be a gdb_byte* instead
of a char*.

Fixing the -Wmissing-declarations errors in gdbserver's tracepoint.c is
a bit tricky, because some functions are compiled for both gdbserver, in
which case they should be static, since they are only used in that file,
and for libinproctrace.so, in which case they should be externally
visible, since they need to be looked up. In the case where they are
externally visible, -Wmissing-declarations requires that a declaration
exists (that's the point of the warning).
I've reused the IP_AGENT_EXPORT_FUNC macro to mark the functions as
static when compiled for gdbserver. Some seemingly unnecessary
declarations are added for when compiling libinproctrace.so (thanks to
Tom for the suggestion).

When compiling gdbserver for an architecture that uses the regdat.sh
script (such as m68k) and the -Wmissing-declarations compiler flag, I
get:
REGDAT reg-m68k-generated.c
CXX reg-m68k.o
reg-m68k-generated.c:30:1: error: no previous declaration for 'void init_registers_m68k()' [-Werror=missing-declarations]
30 | init_registers_m68k (void)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same happens with other architectures, such as s390, but I'll be
using 68k as an example.
The init_registers_m68k function is defined in reg-m68k-generated.c,
which is produced by the regformats/regdat.sh script. This script reads
the regformats/reg-m68k.dat file, containing a register description, and
produces C code that creates a corresponding target description at
runtime.
The init_registers_m68k function is invoked at initialization time in
linux-m68k-low.c. The function must therefore be non-static, but does
not have a declaration at the moment.
The real clean way of fixing this would be to make regdat.sh generate a
.h file (in addition to the .c file) with declarations for whatever is
in the .c file. The generated .c file would include the .h file, and
therefore the definition would have a corresponding declaration. The
linux-m68k-low.c file would also include this .h file, instead of having
its own declaration of init_registers_m68k, like it does now.
However, this would be a quite big change for not much gain. As far as
I understand, some common architectures (i386, x86-64, ARM, AArch64)
have been moved to dynamically building target descriptions based on
features (the linux-*-tdesc.c files in gdbserver) and don't use
regdat.sh anymore. Logically (and given infinite development
resources), the other architectures would be migrated to this system too
and the regdat.sh script would be dropped. A new architecture would
probably not use regdat.sh either. So I therefore propose this simpler
patch instead, which just adds a local declaration in the generated
file.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* regformats/regdat.sh: Generate declaration for init function.
The intent of the rules modified by this patch is that the *-generated.c
files generated by regdat.sh are re-generated in the event that
regdat.sh is modified. However, if I build, touch regdat.sh, and build
again, the files are not re-generated during the second build.
This is because regdat.sh is specified as an order-only dependency [1],
after the pipe. Make therefore only ensures that regdat.sh exists
before generating the target file, it doesn't check the timestamp of
regdat.sh.
This patch changes it to be a regular prerequisite.
The rules use the $< variable, which is substituted by the first
prerequisite only, so the command lines won't change.

The remote-sim.c file doesn't build since the main multi-target patch
(5b6d1e4f, "Multi-target support"), this patch is an attempt to fix it.
I have only build-tested it, so I'm not sure it runs fine, but it should
get us close at least.
I made these functions methods of the gdbsim_target, because they need
to pass the target down to some GDB core functions, like
find_inferior_ptid:
- get_sim_inferior_data_by_ptid (renamed to get_inferior_data_by_ptid)
- gdbsim_resume_inferior (renamed to resume_one_inferior)
- gdbsim_close_inferior (renamed to close_one_inferior)
In the last two, I changed iterate_over_inferiors to a range-based for,
since that gives simpler code (no need to pass data through the void
pointer).
The next_pid variable, INITIAL_PID macro and sim_inferior_data structure
are simply moved up in the file, above gdbsim_target.

The multi-target patch should have removed all traces of
discard_all_inferiors, but somehow one use stayed behind along with
the definition of the function.
discard_all_inferiors is bad now because it blindly exits inferiors of
all target connections. It's best to remove it.

When adding support for styling the TUI borders, I neglected to have
this code check cli_styling. As a result, "set style enabled off"
does not affect the borders.
This patch fixes this oversight. While doing this, I found that
running gdb without an executable, enabling the TUI, and then trying
"set style enabled off" would fail with the mysterious "No registers".
The fix for this is to use deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame in
tui_source_window_base::refill.

GDB uses the 'current_top_target' when displaying the description of
an inferior. This leads to same target being used for each inferior
and, in turn, yields incorrect output when the inferior has a target
that is supposed to give a specialized output. For instance, the
remote target outputs "Remote target" instead of "process XYZ" as the
description if the multi-process feature is not supported or turned
off.
E.g.: Suppose we have a native and a remote target, and the native is
the current inferior. The remote target does not support multi-process.
For "info inferiors", we would expect to see:
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
* 1 process 29060 1 (native) /a/path
2 Remote target 2 (remote ...)
~~~
but instead we get
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
* 1 process 29060 1 (native) /a/path
2 process 42000 2 (remote ...)
~~~
Similarly, if the current inferior is the remote one, we would expect
to see
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 process 29060 1 (native) /a/path
* 2 Remote target 2 (remote ...)
~~~
but we get
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
* 1 Remote target 1 (native) /a/path
2 Remote target 2 (remote ...)
~~~
With this patch, we switch to the inferior when outputting its
description, so that the current_top_target will be aligned to the
inferior we are displaying.
For testing, this patch expands the "info inferiors" test for the
multi-target feature. The test was checking for the output of the
info commands after setup, only when the current inferior is the last
added inferior.
This patch does the following to the testcase:
1. The "info inferiors" and "info connections" test is extracted out
from the "setup" procedure to a separate procedure.
2. The test is enriched to check the output after switching to each
inferior, not just the last one.
3. The test is performed twice; one for when the multi-process feature
is turned on, one for off.

With multi-target, each inferior now has its own target connection.
The problem in switch_to_program_space_and_thread is that in the
current state GDB switches to "no thread" and also sets the program
space but because the inferior is not switched, potentially an
incorrect target remains selected.
Here is a sample scenario that exploits this flow:
On terminal 1, start a gdbserver on a program named foo:
$ gdbserver :1234 ./foo
On terminal 2, start gdb on a program named bar. Suppose foo and bar
are compiled from foo.c and bar.c. They are completely separate. So,
bar.c:2 has no meaning for foo.
$ gdb -q ./bar
Reading symbols from ./bar...
(gdb) add-inferior
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) target remote :1234

Sending packet: $m5fe,1#ca...Packet received: E01
Breakpoint 1 at 0x5fe: file bar.c, line 2.
(gdb)
Here we have an unnecessary sending of the packets to the gdbserver.
With this fix in progspace-and-thread.c, we'll get this:
(gdb) break bar.c:2
Breakpoint 1 at 0x5fe: file bar.c, line 2.
(gdb)
Now there is no sending of the packets to gdbserver.
The changes around clear_symtab_users calls are necessary because
otherwise we regress gdb.base/step-over-exit.exp, hitting the new
assertion in switch_to_program_space_and_thread. The problem is, a
forked child terminates, and when GDB decides to auto-purge that
inferior, GDB tries to switch to the pspace of that no-longer-existing
inferior.
The root of the problem is within the program_space destructor:
program_space::~program_space ()
{
...
set_current_program_space (this); # (1)
...
breakpoint_program_space_exit (this); # (2)
...
free_all_objfiles (); # (3)
...
}
We get here from delete_inferior -> delete_program_space.
So we're deleting an inferior, and the inferior to be
deleted is no longer in the inferior list.
At (2), we've deleted all the breakpoints and locations for the
program space being deleted.
The crash happens while doing a breakpoint re-set, called by
clear_symtab_users at the tail end of (3). That is, while recreating
breakpoints for the current program space, which is the program space
we're tearing down. During breakpoint re-set, we try to switch to the
new location's pspace (the current pspace set in (1), so the pspace
we're tearing down) with switch_to_program_space_and_thread, and that
hits the failed assertion. It's the fact that we recreate breakpoints
in the program_space destructor that is the latent bug here. Just
don't do that, and we don't end up in the crash situation.
My first approach to fix this added a symfile_add_flags parameter to
program_space::free_all_objfiles, and then passed that down to
clear_symtab_users. The program_space dtor would then pass down
SYMFILE_DEFER_BP_RESET to free_all_objfiles. I couldn't help feeling
that adding that parameter to free_all_objfiles looked a little
awkward, so I settled on something a little different -- hoist the
clear_symtab_users call to the callers. There are only two callers.
I felt that that didn't look as odd, particularly since
remove_symbol_file_command also does:
objf->unlink ();
clear_symtab_users (0);
I.e., objfile deletion is already separate from calling
clear_symtab_users in some places.

non-stop mode:

This commit extends the CLI a bit for multi-target, in three ways.
#1 - New "info connections" command.
This is a new command that lists the open connections (process_stratum
targets). For example, if you're debugging two remote connections, a
couple local/native processes, and a core dump, all at the same time,
you might see something like this:
(gdb) info connections
Num What Description
1 remote 192.168.0.1:9999 Remote serial target in gdb-specific protocol
2 remote 192.168.0.2:9998 Remote serial target in gdb-specific protocol
* 3 native Native process
4 core Local core dump file
#2 - New "info inferiors" "Connection" column
You'll also see a new matching "Connection" column in "info
inferiors", showing you which connection an inferior is bound to:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 process 18526 1 (remote 192.168.0.1:9999) target:/tmp/a.out
2 process 18531 2 (remote 192.168.0.2:9998) target:/tmp/a.out
3 process 19115 3 (native) /tmp/prog1
4 process 6286 4 (core) myprogram
* 5 process 19122 3 (native) /bin/hello
#3 - Makes "add-inferior" show the inferior's target connection
"add-inferior" now shows you the connection you've just bound the
inferior to, which is the current process_stratum target:

inferiors, like this:
inferior 1 -> native
inferior 2 -> extended-remote 1
inferior 3 -> core
inferior 4 -> native
inferior 5 -> extended-remote 2
inferior 6 -> core
and then tests various details, including:
- running to breakpoints
- interrupting with Ctrl-C and "interrupt -a"
- "next" bouncing between two breakpoints in two threads running in
different targets.
- since we have cores and live inferiors mixed in the same session,
this makes sure that gdb doesn't try to remove a core dump's
threads.
- all-stop and non-stop modes.
This testcase caught a _lot_ of bugs in development.

This commit adds multi-target support to GDB. What this means is that
with this commit, GDB can now be connected to different targets at the
same time. E.g., you can debug a live native process and a core dump
at the same time, connect to multiple gdbservers, etc.
Actually, the word "target" is overloaded in gdb. We already have a
target stack, with pushes several target_ops instances on top of one
another. We also have "info target" already, which means something
completely different to what this patch does.
So from here on, I'll be using the "target connections" term, to mean
an open process_stratum target, pushed on a target stack. This patch
makes gdb have multiple target stacks, and multiple process_stratum
targets open simultaneously. The user-visible changes / commands will
also use this terminology, but of course it's all open to debate.
User-interface-wise, not that much changes. The main difference is
that each inferior may have its own target connection.
A target connection (e.g., a target extended-remote connection) may
support debugging multiple processes, just as before.
Say you're debugging against gdbserver in extended-remote mode, and
you do "add-inferior" to prepare to spawn a new process, like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
At this point, you have two inferiors connected to the same gdbserver.
With this commit, GDB will maintain a target stack per inferior,
instead of a global target stack.
To preserve the behavior above, by default, "add-inferior" makes the
new inferior inherit a copy of the target stack of the current
inferior. Same across a fork - the child inherits a copy of the
target stack of the parent. While the target stacks are copied, the
targets themselves are not. Instead, target_ops is made a
refcounted_object, which means that target_ops instances are
refcounted, which each inferior counting for a reference.
What if you want to create an inferior and connect it to some _other_
target? For that, this commit introduces a new "add-inferior
-no-connection" option that makes the new inferior not share the
current inferior's target. So you could do:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
Remote debugging using :9999
...
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 <null>
(gdb) tar extended-remote :10000
Remote debugging using :10000
...
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 process 18450 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
(gdb)
A following patch will extended "info inferiors" to include a column
indicating which connection an inferior is bound to, along with a
couple other UI tweaks.
Other than that, debugging is the same as before. Users interact with
inferiors and threads as before. The only difference is that
inferiors may be bound to processes running in different machines.
That's pretty much all there is to it in terms of noticeable UI
changes.
On to implementation.
Since we can be connected to different systems at the same time, a
ptid_t is no longer a unique identifier. Instead a thread can be
identified by a pair of ptid_t and 'process_stratum_target *', the
later being the instance of the process_stratum target that owns the
process/thread. Note that process_stratum_target inherits from
target_ops, and all process_stratum targets inherit from
process_stratum_target. In earlier patches, many places in gdb were
converted to refer to threads by thread_info pointer instead of
ptid_t, but there are still places in gdb where we start with a
pid/tid and need to find the corresponding inferior or thread_info
objects. So you'll see in the patch many places adding a
process_stratum_target parameter to functions that used to take only a
ptid_t.
Since each inferior has its own target stack now, we can always find
the process_stratum target for an inferior. That is done via a
inf->process_target() convenience method.
Since each inferior has its own target stack, we need to handle the
"beneath" calls when servicing target calls. The solution I settled
with is just to make sure to switch the current inferior to the
inferior you want before making a target call. Not relying on global
context is just not feasible in current GDB. Fortunately, there
aren't that many places that need to do that, because generally most
code that calls target methods already has the current context
pointing to the right inferior/thread. Note, to emphasize -- there's
no method to "switch to this target stack". Instead, you switch the
current inferior, and that implicitly switches the target stack.
In some spots, we need to iterate over all inferiors so that we reach
all target stacks.
Native targets are still singletons. There's always only a single
instance of such targets.
Remote targets however, we'll have one instance per remote connection.
The exec target is still a singleton. There's only one instance. I
did not see the point of instanciating more than one exec_target
object.
After vfork, we need to make sure to push the exec target on the new
inferior. See exec_on_vfork.
For type safety, functions that need a {target, ptid} pair to identify
a thread, take a process_stratum_target pointer for target parameter
instead of target_ops *. Some shared code in gdb/nat/ also need to
gain a target pointer parameter. This poses an issue, since gdbserver
doesn't have process_stratum_target, only target_ops. To fix this,
this commit renames gdbserver's target_ops to process_stratum_target.
I think this makes sense. There's no concept of target stack in
gdbserver, and gdbserver's target_ops really implements a
process_stratum-like target.
The thread and inferior iterator functions also gain
process_stratum_target parameters. These are used to be able to
iterate over threads and inferiors of a given target. Following usual
conventions, if the target pointer is null, then we iterate over
threads and inferiors of all targets.
I tried converting "add-inferior" to the gdb::option framework, as a
preparatory patch, but that stumbled on the fact that gdb::option does
not support file options yet, for "add-inferior -exec". I have a WIP
patchset that adds that, but it's not a trivial patch, mainly due to
need to integrate readline's filename completion, so I deferred that
to some other time.
In infrun.c/infcmd.c, the main change is that we need to poll events
out of all targets. See do_target_wait. Right after collecting an
event, we switch the current inferior to an inferior bound to the
target that reported the event, so that target methods can be used
while handling the event. This makes most of the code transparent to
multi-targets. See fetch_inferior_event.
infrun.c:stop_all_threads is interesting -- in this function we need
to stop all threads of all targets. What the function does is send an
asynchronous stop request to all threads, and then synchronously waits
for events, with target_wait, rinse repeat, until all it finds are
stopped threads. Now that we have multiple targets, it's not
efficient to synchronously block in target_wait waiting for events out
of one target. Instead, we implement a mini event loop, with
interruptible_select, select'ing on one file descriptor per target.
For this to work, we need to be able to ask the target for a waitable
file descriptor. Such file descriptors already exist, they are the
descriptors registered in the main event loop with add_file_handler,
inside the target_async implementations. This commit adds a new
target_async_wait_fd target method that just returns the file
descriptor in question. See wait_one / stop_all_threads in infrun.c.
The 'threads_executing' global is made a per-target variable. Since
it is only relevant to process_stratum_target targets, this is where
it is put, instead of in target_ops.
You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress.
Current limitations:
- You can only resume more that one target at the same time if all
targets support asynchronous debugging, and support non-stop mode.
It should be possible to support mixed all-stop + non-stop
backends, but that is left for another time. This means that
currently in order to do multi-target with gdbserver you need to
issue "maint set target-non-stop on". I would like to make that
mode be the default, but we're not there yet. Note that I'm
talking about how the target backend works, only. User-visible
all-stop mode works just fine.
- As explained above, connecting to different remote servers at the
same time is likely to produce bad results if they don't support the
exact set of RSP features.

Another bug exposed by gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp in the
multi-target work is that remote_target::start_remote can leave
inferior_ptid and current_inferior() out of sync:
(top-gdb) p current_inferior_->pid
$1 = 29541
(top-gdb) p inferior_ptid
$2 = {m_pid = 29540, m_lwp = 29540, m_tid = 0}
This is caused by writing to inferior_ptid directly instead of using
switch_to_thread. Also, "inferior_list->thread_list->ptid" assumes
that we want the first thread of the first inferior, but that inferior
may not have threads, or with multi-target, that target may be
connected to some other target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (remote_target::start_remote): Don't set inferior_ptid
directly. Instead find the first thread in the thread list and
use switch_to_thread.
The multi-target patch will change the remote target's behavior when:
- the current inferior is connected to an extended-remote target.
- the current inferior is attached to any process.
- some other inferior than than the current one is live.
In current master, we get:
(gdb) tar extended-remote :9999
A program is being debugged already. Kill it? (y or n)
While after multi-target, since each inferior may have its own target
connection, we'll get:
(gdb) tar extended-remote :9999
Already connected to a remote target. Disconnect? (y or n)
That change made gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp expose a gdb
bug, because it made "target remote", via gdb_reconnect, just
disconnect from the previous connection, while in current master that
command would kill the inferior before disconnecting. In turn, that
would make a multi-target gdb find processes already running under
control of gdbserver as soon as it reconnects, while in current master
there is never any process around when gdb reconnects, since they'd
all been killed prior to disconnection.
The bug this exposed is that remote_target::remote_add_inferior was
always reusing current_inferior() for the new process, even if the
current inferior was already bound to a process. In the testcase's
case, when we reconnect, the remote is debugging two processes. So
we'd bind the first remote process to the empty current inferior the
first time, and then bind the second remote process to the same
inferior again, essencially losing track of the first process. That
resulted in failed assertions when we look up the inferior for the
first process by PID. The fix is to still prefer binding to the
current inferior (so that plain "target remote" keeps doing what you'd
expect), but not reuse the current inferior if it is already bound to
a process.
This patch tweaks the test to explicitly disconnect before
reconnecting, to avoid GDB killing processes, thus making current GDB
behave the same as it will behave when the multi-target work lands.
That change alone without the GDB fix exposes the bug like so:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp: kill: 0, follow-child 0: disconnect
target extended-remote localhost:2350
Remote debugging using localhost:2350
src/gdb/thread.c:93: internal-error: thread_info* inferior_thread(): Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
The original bug that the testcase was written for was related to
killing, (git 9d4a934ce6 ("gdb: Fix assert for extended-remote
target (PR gdb/18050)")), but since the testcase tries reconnecting
with both explicitly killing and not explicitly killing, I think we're
covering the original bug with this testcase change.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (remote_target::remote_add_inferior): Don't bind a
process to the current inferior if the current inferior is already
bound to a process.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp (test_reload): Explicitly
disconnect before reconnecting.
The multi-target patch makes inferior_ptid point to null_ptid before
calling into target_wait, which catches bad uses of inferior_ptid,
since the current selected thread in gdb shouldn't have much relation
to the thread that reports an event.
One such bad use is found in remote_target::remote_parse_stop_reply,
where we handle the 'W' or 'X' packets (process exit), and the remote
target does not support the multi-process extensions, i.e., it does
not report the PID of the process that exited.
With the multi-target patch, that would result in a failed assertion,
trying to find the inferior for process pid 0.

* gdb.server/connect-without-multi-process.exp: Also test
continuing to end.
With current master, on a Fedora 27 machine with a kernel with buggy
watchpoint support, I see:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: hardware breakpoints work
continue
Continuing.
warning: Remote failure reply: E01
Remote communication error. Target disconnected.: Connection reset by peer.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: watchpoints work
continue
The program is not being run.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: breakpoint after the first fork (the program is no longer running)
The FAILs themselves aren't what's interesting here. What is
interesting is that with the main multi-target patch applied, I was getting this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: hardware breakpoints work
continue
Continuing.
warning: Remote failure reply: E01
/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb-2/build/../src/gdb/inferior.c:285: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(process_stratum_target*, int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: watchpoints work (GDB internal error)
The problem is that in remote_target::wait_as, we're hitting this:
switch (buf[0])
{
case 'E': /* Error of some sort. */
/* We're out of sync with the target now. Did it continue or
not? Not is more likely, so report a stop. */
rs->waiting_for_stop_reply = 0;
warning (_("Remote failure reply: %s"), buf);
status->kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED;
status->value.sig = GDB_SIGNAL_0;
break;
which leaves event_ptid as null_ptid. At the end of the function, we then reach:
else if (status->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED
&& status->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED)
{
if (event_ptid != null_ptid)
record_currthread (rs, event_ptid);
else
event_ptid = inferior_ptid; <<<<< here
}
and the trouble is that with the multi-target patch, we'll get here
with inferior_ptid as null_ptid too. That is done exactly to find
these implicit assumptions that inferior_ptid is a good choice for
default thread, which isn't generaly true.
I first thought of fixing this in the "case 'E'" path, but, given that
this "event_ptid = inferior_ptid" path is also taken when the remote
target does not support threads at all, no thread-related packets or
extensions, it's better to fix it in latter path, to handle all
scenarios that miss reporting a thread.
That's what this patch does.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (first_remote_resumed_thread): New.
(remote_target::wait_as): Use it as default event_ptid instead of
inferior_ptid.
It's not possible to open a tfile target with an invalid trace_fd, and
it's not possible to close a closed target, so this early return is dead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* tracefile-tfile.c (tfile_target::close): Assert that trace_fd is
not -1.
- Make get_last_target_status arguments optional. A following patch
will add another argument to get_last_target_status (the event's
target), and passing nullptr when we don't care for some piece of
info is handier than creating dummy local variables.
- Declare nullify_last_target_wait_ptid in a header, and remove the
local extern declaration from linux-fork.c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* break-catch-sig.c (signal_catchpoint_print_it): Don't pass a
ptid to get_last_target_status.
* break-catch-syscall.c (print_it_catch_syscall): Don't pass a
ptid to get_last_target_status.
* infcmd.c (continue_command): Don't pass a target_waitstatus to
get_last_target_status.
(info_program_command): Don't pass a target_waitstatus to
get_last_target_status.
* infrun.c (init_wait_for_inferior): Use
nullify_last_target_wait_ptid.
(get_last_target_status): Handle nullptr arguments.
(nullify_last_target_wait_ptid): Clear target_last_waitstatus.
(print_stop_event): Don't pass a ptid to get_last_target_status.
(normal_stop): Don't pass a ptid to get_last_target_status.
* infrun.h (get_last_target_status, set_last_target_status): Move
comments here and update.
(nullify_last_target_wait_ptid): Declare.
* linux-fork.c (fork_load_infrun_state): Remove local extern
declaration of nullify_last_target_wait_ptid.
* linux-nat.c (get_detach_signal): Don't pass a target_waitstatus
to get_last_target_status.
Once each inferior has its own target stack, we'll need to make sure
that the right inferior is selected before we call into target
methods.
It kind of sounds worse than it is in practice. Not that many places
need to be concerned.
In thread.c, we add a new switch_to_thread_if_alive function that
centralizes the switching before calls to target_thread_alive. Other
cases are handled with explicit switching.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdbthread.h (scoped_restore_current_thread)
<dont_restore, restore, m_dont_restore>: Declare.
* thread.c (thread_alive): Add assertion. Return bool.
(switch_to_thread_if_alive): New.
(prune_threads): Switch inferior/thread.
(print_thread_info_1): Switch thread before calling target methods.
(scoped_restore_current_thread::restore): New, factored out from
...
(scoped_restore_current_thread::~scoped_restore_current_thread):
... this.
(scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread):
Add assertion.
(thread_apply_all_command, thread_select): Use
switch_to_thread_if_alive.
* infrun.c (proceed, restart_threads, handle_signal_stop)
(switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Switch current thread before
calling target methods.
Several places want to switch context to an inferior and its pspace,
while at the same time switch to "no thread selected". This commit
adds a function that does that, and uses it in a few places.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* inferior.c (switch_to_inferior_no_thread): New function,
factored out from ...
(inferior_command): ... here.
* inferior.h (switch_to_inferior_no_thread): Declare.
* mi/mi-main.c (run_one_inferior): Use
switch_to_inferior_no_thread.
I believe this comment:
/* Killing off the inferior can leave us with a core file. If
so, print the state we are left in. */
Referred to the fact that a decade ago, by design, GDB would let you
type "run" when debugging a core dump, keeping the core open. That
"run" would push a process_stratum target on the target stack for the
live process, and, the core would remain open -- we used to have a
core_stratum. When the live process was killed/detached or exited,
GDB would go back to debugging the core, since the core_stratum target
was now at the top of the stack. That design had a number of
problems, see here for example:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-08/msg00290.html
In 2010, core_stratum was finaly eliminated and cores now have
process_stratum too, with commit c0edd9edad ("Make core files the
process_stratum."). Pushing a live process on the stack while you're
debugging a core discards the core completely.
I also thought that this might be in use with checkpoints, but it does
not -- "kill" when you have multiple checkpoints kills all the
checkpoints.
