When I examine the buildbot fails, I see this fail on

the test expects to see the period at the end of the error message,
gdb_test "attach $testpid" "Attaching to process $testpid\r\n.*: No such file or directory\\." "attach"
however the period is missing when running with native-extended-gdbserver.
in exec.c:exec_file_attach, GDB has two places may throw errors [1] and [2],
if (load_via_target)

else

}
...
if (!exec_bfd)
{
error (_("\"%s\": could not open as an executable file: %s"), <-- [2]
scratch_pathname, bfd_errmsg (bfd_get_error ()));
}
perror_with_name [1] append a period at the end of error message,
but error [2] doesn't. This fix is to add a period at the end of the
error message. Note that this fail is shown up on 7.9 release as well.

This change causes the prologue scanner and the frame type scanner in

^
This works in practice because gdb_client_data is a pointer already
(hence in C we get an implicit conversion), and nothing deferences the
pointer. It's passed from client at event registration/creation time,
only to pass straight back to client callback.
Well, that and nothing in gdbserver uses the event data anyway.

In parse_scrolling_args it is possible for a string copy to leak if an

When navigating in the recorded execution trace via "record goto", we do not

This happens because there's a breakpoint at PC when the "next"

That should have been detected/done by proceed, here:

if (pc == stop_pc

actually be executing the breakpoint insn anyway.

But since stop_pc was stale, the pc == stop_pc check failed, and left the

The psABI (AAELF) says this about mapping symbols:
4.6.5.1 Section-relative mapping symbols
Mapping symbols defined in a section define a sequence of
half-open address intervals that cover the address range of the
section. Each interval starts at the address defined by the
mapping symbol, and continues up to, but not including, the
address defined by the next (in address order) mapping symbol or
the end of the section. A section must have a mapping symbol
defined at the beginning of the section; however, if the section
contains only data then the mapping symbol may be omitted.
That makes it pretty clear that, in the absence of a mapping symbol,
the entire section can be treated as data.

This patch adds support for AArch64 to the gdb.trace testsuite.
Note that it does not add support for testing fast tracepoint as it
isn't supported. Therefore the test cases with inline assembly are not
ported in this patch, as we do not know what the conditions for
inserting a fast tracepoint on AArch64 would be.

The stub unwinder is used on AArch64 if the target's memory is not
readable at the current PC. For example, the user could try to call at
an invalid address such as 0x0, as covered in the gdb.base/signull.exp
test case. Many GDB ports use a similar unwinder to handle this case
too.
If we purposely kill the inferior before examining the trace then we get
the following issue:
~~~
...
(gdb) trace f
Tracepoint 3 at 0x7fb7fc28c0
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) continue
...
(gdb) tstop

This patch teaches the stub unwinder to report to the core frame code
with UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE when either the stack pointer of the return
address are unavailable to read from the target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_make_stub_cache): Set available_p and
swallow NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR.
(aarch64_stub_this_id): Call frame_id_build_unavailable_stack if

Without debugging information, we have the following issue when
examining a trace buffer:
~~~
...
(gdb) trace f
Tracepoint 3 at 0x7fb7fc28c0
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) continue
...
(gdb) tstop
(gdb) tfind start
Register 31 is not available.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 3
#-1 0x0000007fb7fc28c0 in f () ...
^^^
~~~
The reason for this is that the target's stack pointer is unavailable
when examining the trace buffer. What we are seeing is due to the
'tfind' command creating a sentinel frame and unwinding it. If an
exception is thrown, we are left with the sentinel frame being displayed
at level #-1. The exception is thrown when the prologue unwinder tries
to read the stack pointer to construct an ID for the frame.
This patch fixes this by making the prologue unwinder catch
NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR exceptions when either registers or memory is
unreadable and report back to the frame core code with
UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE.

This patch moves the address of the start of a function (func) and the
address from which it was called (prev_pc) into aarch64_prologue_cache.
The idea is to keep accesses to the inferior's registers into
aarch64_make_prologue_cache and aarch64_make_stub_cache.
