Linux supports multiple "PID namespaces". Processes in different PID
namespaces have different views of the system process list. Sometimes,
a single process can appear in more than one PID namespace, but with a
different PID in each. When GDB and its target are in different PID
namespaces, various features can break due to the mismatch between
what the target believes its PID to be and what GDB believes its PID
to be. The most visible broken functionality is thread enumeration
silently failing.
This patch explicitly warns users against trying to debug across PID
namespaces.
The patch introduced no new failures in my test suite run on an x86_64
installation of Ubuntu 14.10. It doesn't include a test: writing an
automated test that exercises this code would be very involved because
CLONE_NEWNS requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN; the easier way to reproduce the
problem is to start a new lxc container.

bfd_zalloc/bfd_zmalloc to fix uninitialized memory reads is too big a
hammer, when the size allocated depends on user input. A typical
bfd_alloc, bfd_seek, bfd_bread sequence will give an error or warning
at the point the file read fails when some enormous item as described
by headers is not actually present in the file. Nice operating system
allow memory overcommit. But not if you write to the memory. So
bfd_zalloc can cause an OOM, thrashing, or system hangs.
The patch also fixes a recently introduced endless loop on bad input.

When searching static symbols, gdb would search over all
expanded symtabs of all objfiles, and if that fails only then
would it search all partial/gdb_index tables of all objfiles.
This means that the user could get a random instance of the
symbol depending on what symtabs have been previously expanded.
Now the search is consistent, searching each objfile completely
before proceeding to the next one.

A recent change to eval.c triggered a GCC bug that causes a false positive
"may be used uninitialized" warning in evaluate_subexp_standard. This seems
to be triggered by a specific CFG constructed via setjmp and gotos.
While the GCC bug is in the process of being fixed, there are released
compiler versions (in particular GCC 4.9) in the field that show this
problem. In order to allow compiling GDB with one of those compilers,
this commit slightly reworks the CFG (in an equivalent way) of the
affected function, so that the GCC bug is no longer triggered.

I haven't really tested a real 32-bit kernel/machine, but given the

I'm quite sure the bug triggers in those cases as well.

The in_prologue check in the nexti code is obsolete; this commit
removes that, and then removes the in_prologue function as nothing
else uses it.
Looking at the code in GDB that makes use in_prologue, all we find is
this one caller:
if ((ecs->event_thread->control.step_over_calls == STEP_OVER_NONE)
|| ((ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_end == 1)
&& in_prologue (gdbarch, ecs->event_thread->prev_pc,
ecs->stop_func_start)))
{
/* I presume that step_over_calls is only 0 when we're
supposed to be stepping at the assembly language level
("stepi"). Just stop. */
/* Also, maybe we just did a "nexti" inside a prolog, so we
thought it was a subroutine call but it was not. Stop as
well. FENN */
/* And this works the same backward as frontward. MVS */
end_stepping_range (ecs);
return;
}
This was added by:
commit 100a02e1de
...
From Fernando Nasser:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Handle "nexti" inside function
prologues.
The mailing list thread is here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2001-01/msg00047.html
Not much discussion there, and no test, but looking at the code around
what was patched in that revision, we see that the checks that detect
whether the program has just stepped into a subroutine didn't rely on
the unwinders at all back then.
From 'git show 100a02e1:gdb/infrun.c':
if (stop_pc == ecs->stop_func_start /* Quick test */
|| (in_prologue (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_start) &&
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
!IN_SOLIB_RETURN_TRAMPOLINE (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_name))
|| IN_SOLIB_CALL_TRAMPOLINE (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_name)
|| ecs->stop_func_name == 0)
{
/* It's a subroutine call. */
if ((step_over_calls == STEP_OVER_NONE)
|| ((step_range_end == 1)
&& in_prologue (prev_pc, ecs->stop_func_start)))
{
/* I presume that step_over_calls is only 0 when we're
supposed to be stepping at the assembly language level
("stepi"). Just stop. */
/* Also, maybe we just did a "nexti" inside a prolog,
so we thought it was a subroutine call but it was not.
Stop as well. FENN */
stop_step = 1;
print_stop_reason (END_STEPPING_RANGE, 0);
stop_stepping (ecs);
return;
}
Stripping the IN_SOLIB_RETURN_TRAMPOLINE checks for simplicity, we had:
if (stop_pc == ecs->stop_func_start /* Quick test */
|| in_prologue (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_start)
|| ecs->stop_func_name == 0)
{
/* It's a subroutine call. */
That is, detecting a subroutine call was based on prologue detection
back then. So the in_prologue check in the current tree only made
sense back then as it was undoing a bad decision the in_prologue check
that used to exist above did.
Today, the check for a subroutine call relies on frame ids instead,
which are stable throughout the function. So we can just remove the
in_prologue check for nexti, and the whole in_prologue function along
with it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, and also by nexti-ing manually a prologue.
