When gdbserver is called with --multi and attach has not been called yet
and tstart is called on the gdb client, gdbserver would crash.
This patch fixes gdbserver so that it returns E01 to the gdb client.
Also this patch adds a testcase to verify this bug named no-attach-trace.exp

Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user. The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.
The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size. The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.
Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

The user will be able to set configuration fields for each tracing format
to be used for new threads.
The actual configuration that is active for a given thread will be shown
in the "info record" command.
At the moment, the configuration struct only contains a format field
that is set to the only available format.
The format is the only configuration option that can not be set via set
commands. It is given as argument to the "record btrace" command when
starting recording.

Since the starvation avoidance series
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-12/msg00631.html), both
GDB and GDBserver pull all events out of ptrace before deciding which
event to process.
There's one problem with that though. Because we resume new threads
immediately when we see a PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event, if the program
constantly spawns threads fast enough, new threads can spawn threads
faster we can pull events out of the kernel, and thus we'd get stuck
in an infinite loop, never returning any event to the core to process.
I occasionally see this happen with the
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test against gdbserver.
The fix is to delay resuming new threads until we've pulled out all
events out of the kernel.
On native, we already have the resume_stopped_resumed_lwps function
that knows to resume LWPs that are stopped with no event to report to
the core. So the patch just adds another use. GDBserver didn't have
the equivalent yet, so the patch adds one.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver (remote and
extended-remote).

This patch moves the shared code present on
gdb/linux-nat.c:linux_nat_create_inferior and
gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_create_inferior to
nat/linux-personality.c. This code is responsible for disabling
address space randomization based on user setting, and using
<sys/personality.h> to do that. I decided to put the prototype of the
maybe_disable_address_space_randomization on nat/linux-osdata.h
because it seemed the best place to put it.
I regression-tested this patch on Fedora 20 x86_64, and found no
regressions.

This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly. We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor. Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E. This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E. In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP (by
getauxval on glibc >= 2.16. If getauxval doesn't exist, we implement
the fallback by parsing /proc/self/auxv), because it should an invariant
on the same machine cross different processes.
In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.

I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns
short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of
them.
On GNU/Linux, attaching to a multi-threaded program sometimes prints
out warnings like:
...
[New LWP 20700]
warning: unable to open /proc file '/proc/-1/status'
[New LWP 20850]
[New LWP 21019]
...
That happens because when a thread exits, and is joined, glibc does:
nptl/pthread_join.c:
pthread_join ()
{
...
if (__glibc_likely (result == 0))
{
/* We mark the thread as terminated and as joined. */
pd->tid = -1;
...
/* Free the TCB. */
__free_tcb (pd);
}
So if we attach or interrupt the program (which does an implicit "info
threads") at just the right (or rather, wrong) time, we can find and
return threads in the libthread_db/pthreads thread list with kernel
thread ID -1. I've filed glibc PR nptl/17707 for this. You'll find

This patch handles this as a special case in GDB.
This is actually more than just a cosmetic issue. lin_lwp_attach_lwp
will think that this -1 is an LWP we're not attached to yet, and after
failing to attach will try to check we were already attached to the
process, using a waitpid call, which in this case ends up being
"waitpid (-1, ...", which obviously results in GDB potentially
discarding an event when it shouldn't...
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

... instead of relying on libthread_db.
I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns
short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of
them.
On Linux, we need to attach to all threads of a process (thread group)
individually. We currently rely on libthread_db to list the threads,
but that is problematic, because libthread_db relies on reading data
structures out of the inferior (which may well be corrupted). If
threads are being created or exiting just while we try to attach, we
may trip on inconsistencies in the inferior's thread list. To work
around that, when we see a seemingly corrupt list, we currently retry
a few times:
static void
thread_db_find_new_threads_2 (ptid_t ptid, int until_no_new)
{
...
if (until_no_new)
{
/* Require 4 successive iterations which do not find any new threads.
The 4 is a heuristic: there is an inherent race here, and I have
seen that 2 iterations in a row are not always sufficient to
"capture" all threads. */
...
That heuristic may well fail, and when it does, we end up with threads
in the program that aren't under GDB's control. That's obviously bad
and results in quite mistifying failures, like e.g., the process dying
for seeminly no reason when a thread that wasn't attached trips on a
breakpoint.
There's really no reason to rely on libthread_db for this nowadays
when we have /proc mounted. In that case, which is the usual case, we
can list the LWPs from /proc/PID/task/. In fact, GDBserver is already
doing this. The patch factors out that code that knows to walk the
task/ directory out of GDBserver, and makes GDB use it too.
Like GDBserver, the patch makes GDB attach to LWPs and _not_ wait for
them to stop immediately. Instead, we just tag the LWP as having an
expected stop. Because we can only set the ptrace options when the
thread stops, we need a new flag in the lwp structure to keep track of
whether we've already set the ptrace options, just like in GDBserver.
Note that nothing issues any ptrace command to the threads between the
PTRACE_ATTACH and the stop, so this is safe (unlike one scenario
described in gdbserver's linux-low.c).
When we attach to a program that has threads exiting while we attach,
it's easy to race with a thread just exiting as we try to attach to
it, like:
#1 - get current list of threads
#2 - attach to each listed thread
#3 - ooops, attach failed, thread is already gone
As this is pretty normal, we shouldn't be issuing a scary warning in
step #3.
When #3 happens, PTRACE_ATTACH usually fails with ESRCH, but sometimes
we'll see EPERM as well. That happens when the kernel still has the
thread in its task list, but the thread is marked as dead.
Unfortunately, EPERM is ambiguous and we'll get it also on other
scenarios where the thread isn't dead, and in those cases, it's useful
to get a warning. To distiguish the cases, when we get an EPERM
failure, we open /proc/PID/status, and check the thread's state -- if
the /proc file no longer exists, or the state is "Z (Zombie)" or "X
(Dead)", we ignore the EPERM error silently; otherwise, we'll warn.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a kernel race here. Sometimes I get
EPERM, and then the /proc state still indicates "R (Running)"... If
we wait a bit and retry, we do end up seeing X or Z state, or get an
ESRCH. I thought of making GDB retry the attach a few times, but even
with a 500ms wait and 4 retries, I still see the warning sometimes. I
haven't been able to identify the kernel path that causes this yet,
but in any case, it looks like a kernel bug to me. As this just
results failure to suppress a warning that we've been printing since
about forever anyway, I'm just making the test cope with it, and issue
an XFAIL.

Hi,
This patch is a follow-up of the following discussions:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-12/msg00421.html>
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-12/msg01293.html>
input_interrupt is currently emiting non-printable characters, which
is confusing the dg-extract-results.sh script. This is obviously not
a good thing, and, by following Pedro's advices here:
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-12/msg01320.html>
I adapted the function to print "client connection closed" when it
receives a NUL character, or use the "isprint" function to decide how
to print the received char. I tested it by running the testcases that
were printing the non-printable chars before:
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp
gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp
and confirming that they print the right message. I tried a bit to
come up with a testcase for this, but failed, and since I did not want
to spend too much time on it, I'm sending the patch anyway.
Comments are welcome, as usual.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2014-12-29 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* remote-utils.c: Include ctype.h.
(input_interrupt): Explicitly handle the case when the char
received is the NUL byte. Improve the printing of non-ASCII
characters.
This patch enhances GDB on GNU/Linux systems in the situation where
we are debugging an inferior that was created from GDB (as opposed
to attached to), by asking the kernel to kill the inferior if GDB
terminates without doing it itself.
This would typically happen when GDB encounters a problem and
crashes, or when it gets killed by an external process. This can
be observed by starting a program under GDB, and then killing
GDB with signal 9. After GDB is killed, the inferior still remains.
This patch also fixes GDBserver similarly.
This fix is conditional on the kernel supporting the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL
feature. On older kernels, the behavior remains unchanged.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* nat/linux-ptrace.h (PTRACE_O_EXITKILL): Define if not
already defined.
(linux_enable_event_reporting): Add parameter "attached".
* nat/linux-ptrace.c (linux_test_for_exitkill): New forward
declaration. New function.
(linux_check_ptrace_features): Add linux_test_for_exitkill call.
(linux_enable_event_reporting): Add new parameter "attached".
Do not call ptrace with the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL if ATTACHED is
nonzero.
* linux-nat.c (linux_init_ptrace): Add parameter "attached".
Use it. Update function description.
(linux_child_post_attach, linux_child_post_startup_inferior):
Update call to linux_enable_event_reporting.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (linux_low_filter_event): Update call to
linux_enable_event_reporting following the addition of
a new parameter to that function.
Tested on x86_64-linux, native and native-gdbserver.
I also verified by hand that the inferior gets killed when killing
GDB in the "run" case, while the inferior remains in the "attach"
case. Same for GDBserver.

not correctly displayed, as below:

Currently, when we receive a request to single-step one single thread
(Eg, when single-stepping out of a breakpoint), we use the
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP pthread request, which does single-step
the corresponding thread, but also resumes execution of all
other threads in the inferior.
This causes problems when debugging programs where another thread
receives multiple debug events while trying to single-step a specific
thread out of a breakpoint (with infrun traces turned on):

What happens is that GDB keeps sending requests to resume one specific
thread, and keeps receiving debugging events for other threads.
Things break down when the one of the other threads receives a debug
event for the second time (thread 146 in the example above).
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that only one thread
gets resumed, thus preventing the other threads from generating
an unexpected event.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_resume): Use PTRACE_SINGLESTEP_ONE if N == 1.
Remove FIXME comment about assumption about N.
This patch mostly aims at fixing a GDB build failure on 32bit Solaris
systems (Sparc and x86), due to a recent gnulib update adding the
readlink module. But it might also fix related issues when configuring
with --disable-largefile.
A side-effect of the gnulib readlink module addition is that it caused
largefile support to be added as well, and in particular
gnulib/import/m4/largefile.m4 introduced the following new #define in
gnulib's config.in:
| +/* Number of bits in a file offset, on hosts where this is settable. */
| +#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
When defined to 64, it triggers an issue with procfs.h while trying
to build sparc-sol2-nat.c:
| #if !defined(_LP64) && _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
| #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
| #endif
As it turns out, this is a fairly familiar problem, and one of
the reasons behind ACX_LARGEFILE having been created. In that macro,
we have some code which disables largefile support on solaris hosts:
| sparc-*-solaris*|i[3-7]86-*-solaris*)
| changequote([,])dnl
| # On native 32bit sparc and ia32 solaris, large-file and procfs support
| # are mutually exclusive; and without procfs support, the bfd/ elf module
| # cannot provide certain routines such as elfcore_write_prpsinfo
| # or elfcore_write_prstatus. So unless the user explicitly requested
| # large-file support through the --enable-largefile switch, disable
| # large-file support in favor of procfs support.
| test "${target}" = "${host}" -a "x$plugins" = xno \
| && : ${enable_largefile="no"}
| ;;
But gnulib ignores this fact, and so tries to determine how to
enable large-file support irrespective of whether we want it or not.
This patch fixes the issue by passing --disable-largefile to gnulib's
configure when large-file support in GDB is disabled. This is done
by first enhancing ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR to allow us to pass extra
arguments to be passed to the configure command, and then by modifying
GDB's configure to pass --disable-largefile if large-file support
is disabled.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* acx_configure_dir.m4 (ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR): Add support for
new "EXTRA-ARGS" parameter.
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDB,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDBserver,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
Tested by rebuilding on sparc-solaris and x86_64-linux (with gdbserver).
This fixes the build failure on sparc-solaris. I also verified in
gnulib's config.log file that we pass --disable-largefile in the solaris
case, while we do not in the GNU/Linux case.
This makes gdbserver actually provide values for the TDB registers
when the inferior was stopped in a transaction. The change in
linux-low.c is needed to suppress the warning for an unavailable TDB.
The test case 's390-tdbregs.exp' passes with this patch and fails
without.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Suppress the
warning upon ENODATA from ptrace.
* linux-s390-low.c (s390_store_tdb): New.
(s390_regsets): Add regset for NT_S390_TDB.
For GNU/Linux targets using the regsets interface, this change
supports regsets that can be read but not written. The S390 "last
break" regset is an example. So far it had been defined with
regset->set_request == PTRACE_GETREGSET, such that the respective
ptrace call does not cause any harm. Now we just skip the whole
read/modify/write sequence for regsets that do not define a
fill_function.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_store_inferior_registers): Skip regsets
without a fill_function.
* linux-s390-low.c (s390_fill_last_break): Remove.
(s390_regsets): Set fill_function to NULL for NT_S390_LAST_BREAK.
(s390_arch_setup): Use regset's size instead of fill_function for
loop end condition.
When fetch_inferior_registers does not update all registers, this
patch assures that no stale register values remain in the register
cache. On Linux platforms using the regsets interface, when one of
the ptrace calls used for fetching the register values returns an
error, this patch also avoids copying the random data returned from
ptrace into the register cache. All unfetched registers are marked
"unavailable" instead.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Do not invoke
the regset's store function when ptrace returned an error.
* regcache.c (get_thread_regcache): Invalidate register cache
before fetching inferior's registers.
Replace the while-loops in linux-low.c that iterate over regsets by
for-loops. This makes it clearer what is iterated over. Also, since
"continue" now moves on to the next iteration without having to
increment the regset pointer first, the code is slightly reduced.
In case of EIO the old code did not increment the regset pointer, but
iterated over the same (now disabled) regset again. This extra
iteration is now avoided.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Rephrase
while-loop as for-loop.
(regsets_store_inferior_registers): Likewise.

warning: Error removing breakpoint 1
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.
Further execution is probably impossible.
It turns out that the problem is caused by an intentional test
against a variable with an undefined value. After GDB receives
notification of the inferior stopping, it tries to remove the
breakpoint by sending a memory-write packet ("X10844,4:9 ").
This leads us to lynx_write_memory, where it tries to split
the memory-write into chunks of 4 bytes. And, in order to handle
writes which are not aligned on word boundaries, we have the
following code:
if (skip > 0 || truncate > 0)
/* We need to read the memory at this address in order to preserve
the data that we are not overwriting. */
lynx_read_memory (addr, (unsigned char *) &buf, xfer_size);
if (errno)
return errno;
(the comment explains what the code is about).
Unfortunately, the not-so-glaring error that we've made here is
that we're checking ERRNO regardless of whether we've called
lynx_read_memory. In our case, because we are writing 4 bytes
aligned on a word boundary, we do not call lynx_read_memory and
therefore test an ERRNO with an undefined value.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_write_memory): Put lynx_read_memory and
corresponding ERRNO check in same block.

There's code in linux_wait_1 that resumes all threads if the Hc thread
disappears. It's the wrong thing to do, as GDB has told GDBserver to
resume only one thread, because e.g., the user has scheduler-locking
enabled, or because GDB was stepping the program over a breakpoint.
Resuming all threads behind GDB's back can't be good in either case.
The right thing to do is to detect that that the (only) resumed thread
is gone, and let GDB know about it. The Linux backend is already
doing that nowadays, since:
commit fa96cb382c
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Feb 27 14:30:08 2014 +0000
Teach GDBserver's Linux backend about no unwaited-for children (TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED).
The backend detects that all resumed threads have disappeared, and
returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED to the core of GDBserver, which
then reports an error to GDB.
There's no need to frob the passed in ptid to wait for the continue
thread either -- linux_wait_for_event only returns events for resumed
threads.
The badness (of resuming threads) can actually be observed in the
testsuite, if we force-disable vCont support in GDBserver -- before
the patch, gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp hangs if we disable
vCont:

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Don't force a wait for the Hc
thread, and don't resume all threads if the Hc thread has exited.
The target->request_interrupt callback implements the handling for
ctrl-c. User types ctrl-c in GDB, GDB sends a \003 to the remote
target, and the remote targets stops the program with a SIGINT, just
like if the user typed ctrl-c in GDBserver's terminal.
The trouble is that using kill_lwp(signal_pid, SIGINT) sends the
SIGINT directly to the program's main thread. If that thread has
exited already, then that kill won't do anything.
Instead, send the SIGINT to the process group, just like GDB
does (see inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop).
gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp is extended to cover the scenario. It
fails against GDBserver before the patch.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and GDBserver.

* gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp: Test sending ctrl-c works after the
leader has exited.
Don't use debug_reg_state for both:
* "intent" - what we want the debug registers to look like
* "reality" - what/which were the contents of the DR registers when
the event triggered
Reserve it for the former only, like in the GNU/Linux port.
Otherwise the core x86 debug registers code can get confused if the
inferior itself changes the debug registers since GDB last set them.
This is also a requirement for being able to set watchpoints while the
target is running, if/when we get to it on Windows. See the big
comment in x86_dr_stopped_data_address.
Seems to me this may also fixes propagating watchpoints to all threads
-- continue_one_thread only calls win32_set_thread_context (what
copies the DR registers to the thread), if something already fetched
the thread's context before. Something else may be masking this
issue, I haven't checked.
Smoke tested by running gdbserver under Wine, connecting to it from
GNU/Linux, and checking that I could trigger a watchpoint as expected.
Joel tested it on x86-windows using AdaCore's testsuite.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/sigstep-threads.exp: continue
the cause is that GDBserver doesn't cancel the breakpoint if the stop
signal is SIGILL. The kernel used here is a little old, 2.6.x, and
doesn't translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP when program hits breakpoint
instruction (which is an illegal instruction actually). GDB and
GDBserver can translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP under certain circumstance,
so it is not a problem here. See gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_wait_1
/* If this event was not handled before, and is not a SIGTRAP, we
report it. SIGILL and SIGSEGV are also treated as traps in case
a breakpoint is inserted at the current PC. If this target does
not support internal breakpoints at all, we also report the
SIGTRAP without further processing; it's of no concern to us. */

&& (WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGTRAP
|| ((WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGILL
|| WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGSEGV)
&& (*the_low_target.breakpoint_at) (event_child->stop_pc))));
However, SIGILL and SIGSEGV is not considered when cancelling
breakpoint, which causes the fail above. That is, when GDB is doing
software single step on address ADDR, both thread A and thread B hits the
software single step breakpoint, and get SIGILL. GDB selects the event
from thread A, removes the software single step breakpoint, and resume
the program. The event (SIGILL) from thread B is reported to GDB, but
GDB doesn't regard this SIGILL as SIGTRAP, because the breakpoint on
address ADDR was removed, so GDB reports "Program received signal
SIGILL".
The patch is to allow calling cancel_breakpoint if the signal is
SIGILL and SIGSEGV. This patch fixes the fail above. Likewise, event
lwp selection should honour SIGILL and SIGSEGV too.

This commit implements functions for identifying and extracting extended
ptrace event information from a Linux wait status. These are just
convenience functions intended to hide the ">> 16" used to extract the

In gdb/gdbserver/Makefile.in, IPAGENT_CFLAGS is defined using
an expression which references $(CPPFLAGS). But CPPFLAGS isn't
actually defined.
This patch first adds a CPPFLAGS definition, so as to inherit
the value passed at configure time (if any). And it then makes it
part of INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE, instead. There is no reason that
CPPFLAGS be useful for a certain class of source files, and not
the rest. This is also consistent with what's done in GDB.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (CPPFLAGS): Define.
(INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE): Add ${CPPFLAGS}.
(IPAGENT_CFLAGS): Remove ${CPPFLAGS}.
Tested by rebuilding GDBserver with a dummy CPPFLAGS, and verifying
that the compilation command was altered as expected.
GDB has a function named "current_inferior" and gdbserver has a global
variable named "current_inferior", but the two are not equivalent;
indeed, gdbserver does not have any real equivalent of what GDB calls
an inferior. What gdbserver's "current_inferior" is actually pointing
to is a structure describing the current thread. This commit renames
current_inferior as current_thread in gdbserver to clarify this. It
also renames the function "set_desired_inferior" to "set_desired_thread"
and renames various local variables from foo_inferior to foo_thread.

This commit adds a new global flag show_debug_regs to common-debug.h
to replace the flag debug_hw_points used by gdbserver and by the
Linux x86 and AArch64 ports, and to replace the flag maint_show_dr
used by the Linux MIPS port.
Note that some debug printing in the AArch64 port was enabled only if
debug_hw_points > 1 but no way to set debug_hw_points to values other
than 0 and 1 was provided; that code was effectively dead. This
commit enables all debug printing if show_debug_regs is nonzero, so
the AArch64 output will be more verbose than previously.

This patch fixes the routines to collect and supply ptrace registers on ppc64le
gdbserver. Originally written for big endian arch, they were causing several
issues on little endian. With this fix, the number of unexpected failures in
the testsuite dropped from 263 to 72 on ppc64le.

* linux-ppc-low.c (ppc_collect_ptrace_register): Adjust routine to take
endianness into account.
(ppc_supply_ptrace_register): Likewise.
PTRACE_PEEKUSER can return -1, which is usually used to determine whether
a system call has reported an error, so errno must be used alone to
determine whether an error occurred. However errno isn't modified by a
successful system call so it must be reset to a known value (0) before the
syscall call.
Add the missing errno reset when reading the DSP_CONTROL register in the
native MIPS Linux backend and the MIPS gdbserver backend.
gdb/:
* mips-linux-nat.c (mips_linux_read_description): Reset errno to 0
prior to reading DSP_CONTROL with PTRACE_PEEKUSER ptrace call.
gdb/gdbserver/:
* linux-mips-low.c (mips_read_description): Reset errno to 0 prior
to reading DSP_CONTROL with PTRACE_PEEKUSER ptrace call.
The loop macro ALL_DEBUG_REGISTERS does not iterate over the status or
control registers, so its name is misleading. This commit renames it
as ALL_DEBUG_ADDRESS_REGISTERS and updates all uses. This commit also
updates its loop conditions to an equivalent but better form, and
makes two functions use it that had previously hardwired the loop.
A comment on a related field in the x86_debug_reg_state structure is
also updated to reflect that the field refers specifically to address
registers only.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* nat/x86-dregs.h (ALL_DEBUG_REGISTERS): Renamed as...
(ALL_DEBUG_ADDRESS_REGISTERS): New macro. All uses updated.
Loop conditions changed to equivalent form.
