The first kind of error is caused by the embedded struct definition,
so move it out of the parent struct.
The second kind of error is caused by forward declaring a static
global variable, which works in C, but not in C++ (or C with
-fno-common). Make it using extern instead, like done in other
similar cases.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-05-15 Yuanhui Zhang <asmwarrior@gmail.com>
* python/py-unwind.c (struct reg_info): Move out of ...
(struct cached_frame_info): ... this scope.
(pending_frame_object_type, unwind_info_object_type): Make extern.
Consider the following declarations:
type Signed_Small is new Integer range - (2 ** 5) .. (2 ** 5 - 1);
type Signed_Simple_Array is array (1 .. 4) of Signed_Small;
pragma Pack (Signed_Simple_Array);
SSA : Signed_Simple_Array := (-1, 2, -3, 4);
GDB currently print its value incorrectly for the elements that
are negative:
(gdb) print ssa
$1 = (65535, 2, 1048573, 4)
(gdb) print ssa(1)
$2 = 65535
(gdb) print ssa(2)
$3 = 2
(gdb) print ssa(3)
$4 = 1048573
(gdb) print ssa(4)
$5 = 4
What happens is that the sign-extension is not working because
we're trying to do left shift with a negative count. In
ada_value_primitive_packed_val, we have a loop which populates
the extra bits of the target (unpacked) value, after extraction
of the data from the original (packed) value:
while (ntarg > 0)
{
accum |= sign << accumSize;
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
!!! -> accumSize -= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
accum >>= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
ntarg -= 1;
targ += delta;
}
At each iteration, accumSize gets decremented by HOST_CHAR_BIT,
which can easily cause it to become negative, particularly on
little endian targets, where accumSize is at most HOST_CHAR_BIT - 1.
This causes us to perform a left-shift operation with a negative
accumSize at the next loop iteration, which is undefined, and
acutally does not produce the effect we wanted (value left untouched)
when the code is compiled with GCC.
This patch fixes the issue by simply setting accumSize to zero
if negative.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Make sure
accumSize is never negative.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/pckd_neg: New testcase.
This patch adds -mshared option to x86 ELF assembler. By default,
assembler will optimize out non-PLT relocations against defined non-weak
global branch targets with default visibility. The -mshared option tells
the assembler to generate code which may go into a shared library
where all non-weak global branch targets with default visibility can
be preempted. The resulting code is slightly bigger. This option
only affects the handling of branch instructions.
This Linux kernel patch is needed to create a working x86 Linux kernel if
it hasn't been applied:

The function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() has an old workaround (from 1999)
for buggy terminals and/or ncurses library that don't return page
up/down keys as single characters. Because the workaround is so old, I
think the bug it is targetting is no longer relevant anymore.
But more importantly, the workaround is itself buggy: it 1) performs a
blocking call to wgetch() and 2) if the key returned by wgetch() does
not make up a relevant key sequence it throws away the input instead of
pushing it back via ungetch(). And indeed the workaround breaks Alt-key
sequences under TERM=xterm because of bug #2.
So this patch removes the buggy workaround and tidies up the function
accordingly.
I personally tested this change on a recent xterm (with TERM=xterm) in
Fedora 20 and had no problems with having ncurses properly interpret
page up/down keys. And Alt-key sequences now work when TERM=xterm too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-command.c: Remove include of <ctype.h>.

The control variable win_resized must be cleared before responding to
it.
Otherwise there is a small window where another SIGWINCH might occur in
between the handling of an earlier SIGWINCH and the clearing of
win_resized, at which point win_resized would be set (again) by the
signal handler. Shortly thereafter we would clear win_resized even
though we only handled the earlier SIGWINCH but not the latest one.
This chain of events is all avoided if we clear win_resized first.

This patch is a comprehensive fix for PR 17820 which reports that
using "set history size unlimited" inside one's gdbinit file doesn't
really work.
There are three small changes in this patch. The most important change
this patch makes is to decode the argument of the "size" subcommand
using add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd() instead of using
add_setshow_uinteger_cmd(). The new decoder takes an int * and maps
unlimited to -1 whereas the old decoder takes an unsigned int * and maps
unlimited to UINT_MAX. Using the new decoder simplifies our handling of
unlimited and makes it easier to interface with readline which itself
expects a signed-int history size.
The second change is the factoring of the [stifle|unstifle]_history logic
into a common function which is now used by both init_history() and
set_history_size_command(). This is technically the change that fixes
the PR itself.
Thirdly, this patch initializes history_size_setshow_var to -2 to mean
that the variable has not been set yet. Now init_history() tests for -2
instead of 0 to determine whether to give the variable a default value.
This means that having "set history size 0" in one's gdbinit file will
actually keep the history size at 0 and not reset it to 256.

This patch implements catchpoints for fork events on extended-remote
Linux targets.
Implementation appeared to be straightforward, requiring four new functions
in remote.c to implement insert/remove of fork/vfork catchpoints. These
functions are essentially stubs that just return 0 ('success') if the
required features are enabled. If the fork events are being reported, then
catchpoints are set and hit.
However, there are some extra issues that arise with catchpoints.
1) Thread creation reporting -- fork catchpoints are hit before the
follow_fork has been completed. When stopped at a fork catchpoint
in the native implementation, the new process is not 'reported'
until after the follow is done. It doesn't show up in the inferiors
list or the threads list. However, in the gdbserver case, an
'info threads' while stopped at a fork catchpoint will retrieve the
new thread info from the target and add it to GDB's data structures,
prior to the follow operations. Because of this premature report,
things on the GDB side eventually get very confused.
So in remote.c:remote_update_thread_list, we check to see if there
are any pending fork parent threads. If there are we remove the
related fork child thread from the thread list sent by the target.
2) Kill process before fork is followed -- on the native side in
linux-nat.c:linux_nat_kill, there is some code to handle the case where
a fork has occurred but follow_fork hasn't been called yet. It does
this by using the last status to determine if a follow is pending, and
if it is, to kill the child task. The use of last_status is fragile
in situations like non-stop mode where other events may have occurred
after the fork event. This patch identifies a fork parent
in remote.c:extended_remote_kill in a way similar to that used in
thread creation reporting above. If one is found, it kills the new
child as well.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote. Tested the
case of killing the forking process before the fork has been followed
manually.

This patch implements follow-fork for vfork on extended-remote Linux targets.
The implementation follows the native implementation as much as possible.
Most of the work is done on the GDB side in the existing code now in
infrun.c. GDBserver just has to report the events and do a little
bookkeeping.
Implementation includes:
* enabling VFORK events by adding ptrace options for VFORK and VFORK_DONE
to linux-low.c:linux_low_ptrace_options.
* handling VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
and reporting them to GDB.
* including VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in the predicate
linux-low.c:extended_event_reported.
* adding support for VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in RSP by adding stop
reasons "vfork" and "vforkdone" to the 'T' Stop Reply Packet in both
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and gdb/remote.c.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements the architecture-specific pieces of follow-fork
for remote and extended-remote Linux targets, which in the current
implementation copyies the parent's debug register state into the new
child's data structures. This is required for x86, arm, aarch64, and
mips.
This follows the native implementation as closely as possible by
implementing a new linux_target_ops function 'new_fork', which is
analogous to 'linux_nat_new_fork' in linux-nat.c. In gdbserver, the debug
registers are stored in the process list, instead of an
architecture-specific list, so the function arguments are process_info
pointers instead of an lwp_info and a pid as in the native implementation.
In the MIPS implementation the debug register mirror is stored differently
from x86, ARM, and aarch64, so instead of doing a simple structure assignment
I had to clone the list of watchpoint structures.
Tested using gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp on x86, and ran manual tests
on a MIPS board and an ARM board. Aarch64 hasn't been tested.

This patch implements basic support for follow-fork and detach-on-fork on
extended-remote Linux targets. Only 'fork' is supported in this patch;
'vfork' support is added n a subsequent patch. This patch depends on
the previous patches in the patch series.
Sufficient extended-remote functionality has been implemented here to pass
gdb.base/multi-forks.exp, as well as gdb.base/foll-fork.exp with the
catchpoint tests commented out. Some other fork tests fail with this
patch because it doesn't provide the architecture support needed for
watchpoint inheritance or fork catchpoints.
The implementation follows the same general structure as for the native
implementation as much as possible.
This implementation includes:
* enabling fork events in linux-low.c in initialize_low and
linux_enable_extended_features
* handling fork events in gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
- when a fork event occurs in gdbserver, we must do the full creation
of the new process, thread, lwp, and breakpoint lists. This is
required whether or not the new child is destined to be
detached-on-fork, because GDB will make target calls that require all
the structures. In particular we need the breakpoint lists in order
to remove the breakpoints from a detaching child. If we are not
detaching the child we will need all these structures anyway.
- as part of this event handling we store the target_waitstatus in a new
member of the parent lwp_info structure, 'waitstatus'. This
is used to store extended event information for reporting to GDB.
- handle_extended_wait is given a return value, denoting whether the
handled event should be reported to GDB. Previously it had only
handled clone events, which were never reported.
* using a new predicate in gdbserver to control handling of the fork event
(and eventually all extended events) in linux_wait_1. The predicate,
extended_event_reported, checks a target_waitstatus.kind for an
extended ptrace event.
* implementing a new RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet stop reason: "fork", in
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and remote.c.
* implementing new target and RSP support for target_follow_fork with
target extended-remote. (The RSP components were actually defined in
patch 1, but they see their first use here).
- remote target routine remote_follow_fork, which just sends the 'D;pid'
detach packet to detach the new fork child cleanly. We can't just
call target_detach because the data structures for the forked child
have not been allocated on the host side.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements gdbserver routines to clone the breakpoint lists of a
process, duplicating them for another process. In gdbserver, each process
maintains its own independent breakpoint list. When a fork call creates a
child, all of the breakpoints currently inserted in the parent process are
also inserted in the child process, but there is nothing to describe them
in the data structures related to the child. The child must have a
breakpoint list describing them so that they can be removed (if detaching)
or recognized (if following). Implementation is a mechanical process of
just cloning the lists in several new functions in gdbserver/mem-break.c.
Tested by building, since none of the new functions are called yet. This
was tested with another patch in the series that implements follow-fork.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* mem-break.c (APPEND_TO_LIST): Define macro.
(clone_agent_expr): New function.
(clone_one_breakpoint): New function.
(clone_all_breakpoints): New function.
* mem-break.h: Declare new functions.
This patch implements a mechanism for GDB to determine whether fork
events are supported in gdbserver. This is a preparatory patch for
remote fork and exec event support.
Two new RSP packets are defined to represent fork and vfork event
support. These packets are used just like PACKET_multiprocess_feature
to denote whether the corresponding event is supported. GDB sends
fork-events+ and vfork-events+ to gdbserver to inquire about fork
event support. If the response enables these packets, then GDB
knows that gdbserver supports the corresponding events and will
enable them.
Target functions used to query for support are included along with
each new packet.
In order for gdbserver to know whether the events are supported at the
point where the qSupported packet arrives, the code in nat/linux-ptrace.c
had to be reorganized. Previously it would test for fork/exec event
support, then enable the events using the pid of the inferior. When the
qSupported packet arrives there may not be an inferior. So the mechanism
was split into two parts: a function that checks whether the events are
supported, called when gdbserver starts up, and another that enables the
events when the inferior stops for the first time.
Another gdbserver change was to add some global variables similar to
multi_process, one per new packet. These are used to control whether
the corresponding fork events are enabled. If GDB does not inquire
about the event support in the qSupported packet, then gdbserver will
not set these "report the event" flags. If the flags are not set, the
events are ignored like they were in the past. Thus, gdbserver will
never send fork event notification to an older GDB that doesn't
recognize fork events.
Tested on Ubuntu x64, native/remote/extended-remote, and as part of
subsequent patches in the series.
