Simon Marchi:
I think this patch is wrong. Starting with that commit (f30d5c7),
some tests (e.g. mi-break.exp) started to fail for me, because
of gdb segfaulting.
The address of expr is passed to the cleanup. When the cleanup is ran,
expr is no longer in scope, so what is at that address is probably not
safe to use anymore. That's my guess.

Code cleanup.
* printcmd.c (print_command_1): Move expr variable scope.
GCC 4.4.7 generates the following warning:
| cc1: warnings being treated as errors
| dtrace-probe.c: In function ‘dtrace_process_dof_probe’:
| dtrace-probe.c:416: error: ‘expr’ may be used uninitialized in this function
| make[2]: *** [dtrace-probe.o] Error 1
Later versions (GCC 5) do a better job and don't generate the warning,
but it does not hurt to pre-initialize "expr" to NULL.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dtrace-probe.c (dtrace_process_dof_probe): Initialize expr to NULL.
Indexes returned for special sections are off by one, i.e. with N+4
sections last one has index N+4 returned which is outside allocated
obstack (at the same time index N is not used at all).
In worst case, if sections obstack is allocated up to end of chunk,
writing last section data will cause buffer overrun and some data
corruption.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb_bfd.c (gdb_bfd_section_index): Fix off-by-one for special

Allows .dynbss copy of shared library protected visibility variables
if they are read-only.
To recap: Copying a variable from a shared library into an executable's
.dynbss is an old hack invented for non-PIC executables, to avoid the
text relocations you'd otherwise need to access a shared library
variable. This works with ELF shared libraries because global
symbols can be overridden. The trouble is that protected visibility
symbols can't be overridden. A shared library will continue to access
it's own protected visibility variable while the executable accesses a
copy. If either the shared library or the executable updates the
value then the copy diverges from the original. This is wrong since
there is only one definition of the variable in the application.
So I made the linker report an error on attempting to copy protected
visibility variables into .dynbss. However, you'll notice the above
paragraph contains an "If". An application that does not modify the
variable value remains correct even though two copies of the variable
exist. The linker can detect this situation if the variable was
defined in a read-only section.

The problem occurs while trying to parse a probe's argument,
and the exception propagates all the way to the top. This patch
fixes the issue by containing the exception and falling back on
using the "long" builtin type if the argument's type could not
be determined.
Also, the parsing should be done using the C language parser.

Variables with a DW_AT_const_value but without a DW_AT_location were not
getting added to the partial symbol table. They are added to the full
symbol table, however, when the compilation unit's psymtabs are
expanded.
Before:

No symbol "one" in current context.
(gdb) mt flush-symbol-cache
(gdb) mt expand one.c
(gdb) p one

After:

To the user it's pretty strange, as depending on whether tab completion
has forced expansion of all CUs or not the lookup might succeed, or not
if the failure was already added to the symbol cache.
This commit simply makes sure to add constants to the partial symbol
tables.

On Windows amd64, setting a breakpoint on a symbol imported from a
shared library after that library is loaded creates a breakpoint with
two locations, one on the import stub, and another in the shared
library, while on i386, the breakpoint is only set in the shared
library.
This is due to the minimal symbol for the import stub not being
correctly given the type mst_solib_trampoline on Windows amd64, unlike
Windows i386.
As currently written, coff_symfile_read is always skipping over the
character after the "__imp_" (amd64) or "_imp_" (i386) prefix,
assuming that it is '_'. However, while i386 is an underscored
target, amd64 is not.
On x86_64-pc-cygwin, it fixes:
- FAIL: gdb.base/solib-symbol.exp: foo in libmd
+ PASS: gdb.base/solib-symbol.exp: foo in libmd
Unfortunately, several other tests which passed now fail but that's
because this issue was masking other problems.

break-asm-file.exp has some manually written dwarf to create some line
number entries like this,

0x40053f is the start address of function func, and is mapped to line
7. 0x400541 is within function func, and is mapped to line 8.
(gdb) disassemble /r 0x40053f,+8

in the following test,
(gdb) break a/break-asm-file0.s:func
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40053f: file a/break-asm-file0.s, line 7.
As we can see, breakpoint is set at the start address of function func
on x86, which means no prologue is skipped. On other targets, such as
arm and aarch64, breakpoint is set at the address *after* the start
address, which is mapped to line 8. Then test fails.
In fact, it is lucky this test doesn't fail on x86 and x86_64, whose
gdbarch method skip_prologue doesn't reply on skip_prologue_using_sal
if producer isn't clang.
if (find_pc_partial_function (start_pc, NULL, &func_addr, NULL))
{
CORE_ADDR post_prologue_pc
= skip_prologue_using_sal (gdbarch, func_addr);
struct compunit_symtab *cust = find_pc_compunit_symtab (func_addr);
/* Clang always emits a line note before the prologue and another
one after. We trust clang to emit usable line notes. */
if (post_prologue_pc
&& (cust != NULL
&& COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust) != NULL
&& startswith (COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust), "clang ")))
return max (start_pc, post_prologue_pc);
}
so it doesn't return and go further to prologue analyser. Since ".int 0"
isn't an instruction of prologue, nothing is skipped, starting address
is used, and test passes.
however, on targets which don't have such producer checking, the first
line number entry is skipped, and skip_prologue_using_sal returns sal
represents the second line number entry.
The idea of this patch is to force GDB stop at somewhere which is stilled
mapped to line 7 after skipping prologue. I choose to add a new line
number entry for the following instruction but mapped to the same line (7),
because I see the comments in dwarf2read.c,
... fact that two consecutive
line number entries for the same line is a heuristic used by gcc
to denote the end of the prologue.
then the line table becomes:

There are two ways to fix these fails, one is to modify functions to
force some registers saved (for example, doing function call in them),
and the other one is to relax the pattern to optionally match
"Saved registers:". I did both, and feel that the latter is simple,
so here is it.

Ensure that injection of a stub section does not break a link where
there is an xpectation that flow of control can pass from one input
section to another simply by linking the input sections in series.
The solution here is to allow stub sections to be inserted after any
input section (existing behaviour), but inject an additional branch at
the start of each stub section such that control flow falling into the
stub section will branch over the stub section.
The x86-record_goto.S assembly source file does not build on 32-bit.
This breaks many tests that use this file.
Split it into x86_64-record_goto.S and i686-record_goto.S. Luckily, we
can use either one with the same test .exp file.
It further turned out that most tests do not really need a fixed binary;
they should work pretty well with a newly-compiled C program. The
one thing that breaks this is the heavy use of "record goto" to navigate
inside the recorded execution.
Combine step.exp, next,exp, and finish.exp into a single test step.exp
and use normal stepping and reverse-stepping commands for navigation.

All callers of target_async pass it the same callback

need to be able to put the target in and out of target async mode at

Various target_fileio_* functions use integer file descriptors to
refer to open files. File operation functions are looked up from
the target stack as they are used, which causes problems if the
target stack changes after the file is opened.
For example, if a file is opened on a remote target and the remote
target disconnects or closes the remote target will be popped off
the stack. If target_fileio_close is then called on that file and
"set auto-connect-native-target" is "on" (the default) then the
native target's close method will be called. If the file opened
on the remote happens to share the same number with a file open in
GDB then that file will be closed by mistake.
This commit changes target_fileio_open to store newly opened file
descriptors in a table together with the target_ops used to open
them. The index into the table is returned and used as the file
descriptor argument to all target_fileio_* functions that accept
file descriptor arguments.

This can happen easily today as linux-nat.c/linux-thread-db.c are
forgetting to purge non-current exited threads. But even with that
fixed, we can always do "thread apply all" with an exited thread
selected, which won't be deleted until the user switches to another
thread. That's what the test added by this commit exercises.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

struct dynamic_prop_list is declared as follow:
struct dynamic_prop_list
{
[...]
/* The dynamic property itself. */
struct dynamic_prop *prop;
[...]
};
In this case, the pointer indirection is unnecessary and costing us,
for each dynamic property, the memory needed to store one pointer.
This patch removes this pointer indirection, savin us a tiny bit of
memory, as well as reduces a bit the complexity by removing the need
to allocate memory for the property, as the allocation is now part
of the struct itself.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (struct dynamic_prop_list) <prop>: Remove
pointer indirection.
* gdbtypes.c (get_dyn_prop): Adjust, following change above.
(add_dyn_prop, copy_dynamic_prop_list): Likewise.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
The terminology we've been using is (dynamic) "property" rather than
"attribute", so this patch renames an enum to use the same terminology.

The "step" parameters of 'proceed' and 'resume' aren't really useful
as indication of whether run control wants to single-step the target,
as that information must already be retrievable from
currently_stepping. In fact, if currently_stepping disagrees with
whether we single-stepped the target, then things break. Thus instead
of having the same information in two places, this patch removes those
parameters.
Setting 'step_start_function' is the only user of proceed's 'step'
argument, other than passing the 'step' argument down to 'resume' and
debug log output. Move that instead to set_step_frame, where we
already set other related fields.
clear_proceed_status keeps its "step" parameter for now because it
needs to know which set of threads should have their state cleared,
and is called before the "stepping_command" flag is set.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

Currently, "set scheduler-locking step" is a bit odd. The manual
documents it as being optimized for stepping, so that focus of
debugging does not change unexpectedly, but then it says that
sometimes other threads may run, and thus focus may indeed change
unexpectedly... A user can then be excused to get confused and wonder
why does GDB behave like this.
I don't think a user should have to know about details of how "next"
or whatever other run control command is implemented internally to
understand when does the "scheduler-locking step" setting take effect.
This patch completes a transition that the code has been moving
towards for a while. It makes "set scheduler-locking step" hold
threads depending on whether the _command_ the user entered was a
stepping command [step/stepi/next/nexti], or not.
Before, GDB could end up locking threads even on "continue" if for
some reason run control decides a thread needs to be single stepped
(e.g., for a software watchpoint).
After, if a "continue" happens to need to single-step for some reason,
we won't lock threads (unless when stepping over a breakpoint,
naturally). And if a stepping command wants to continue a thread for
bit, like when skipping a function to a step-resume breakpoint, we'll
still lock threads, so focus of debugging doesn't change.
In order to make this work, we need to record in the thread structure
whether what set it running was a stepping command.
(A follow up patch will remove the "step" parameters of 'proceed' and 'resume')
FWIW, Fedora GDB, which defaults to "scheduler-locking step" (mainline
defaults to "off") carries a different patch that goes in this
direction as well.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
