Running break-interp.exp with the target always in non-stop mode trips
on PR13858, as enabling non-stop also enables displaced stepping.
The problem is that when GDB doesn't know where the entry point is, it
doesn't know where to put the displaced stepping scratch pad. The
test added by this commit exercises this. Without the fix, we get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: break *$pc
set displaced-stepping on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: set displaced-stepping on
stepi
0x00000000004005be in ?? ()
Entry point address is not known.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: stepi
p /x $pc
$2 = 0x4005be
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: get after PC
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: advanced
The fix switches all GNU/Linux ports to get the entry point from
AT_ENTRY in the target auxiliary vector instead of from symbols. This
is currently only done by PPC when Cell debugging is enabled, but I
think all archs should be able to do the same. Note that
ppc_linux_displaced_step_location cached the result, I'm guessing to
avoid constantly re-fetching the auxv out of remote targets, but
that's no longer necessary nowadays, as the auxv blob is itself cached
in the inferior object. The ppc_linux_entry_point_addr global is
obviously bad for multi-process too nowadays.
Tested on x86-64 (-m64/-m32), PPC64 (-m64/-m32) and S/390 GNU/Linux.
Yao tested the new test on ARM as well.

* gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: New file.
This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

We're now doing a vsyscall/vDSO address range lookup whenever we fetch
shared libraries, either through an explicit "info shared", or when
the target reports new libraries have been loaded, in order to filter
out the vDSO from glibc's DSO list. Before we started doing that, GDB
would only ever lookup the vsyscall's address range once in the
process's lifetime.
Looking up the vDSO address range requires an auxv lookup (which is
already cached, so no problem), but also reading the process's
mappings from /proc to find out the vDSO's mapping's size. That
generates extra RSP traffic when remote debugging. Particularly
annoying when the process's mappings grow linearly as more libraries
are mapped in, and we went through the trouble of making incremental
DSO list updates work against gdbserver (when the probes-based dynamic
linker interface is available).
The vsyscall/vDSO is mapped by the kernel when the process is
initially mapped in, and doesn't change throughout the process's
lifetime, so we can cache its address range.
Caching at this level brings GDB back to one and only one vsyscall
address range lookup per process.

We have a case in solib-svr4.c where we could reuse symfile-mem.c's

This has the minor (good) side effect that we stop even trying the
target_auxv_search lookup against targets that don't have a concept of
a vDSO, in case symfile-mem.c happens to be linked in the build
(--enable-targets=all).

Consequently the 'regset_from_core_section' method is dropped for all

This change prepares for replacing regset_from_core_section
everywhere, thereby eliminating one gdbarch interface. Since the
iterator is usually no more complex than regset_from_core_section
alone, targets that previously didn't define core_regset_sections will
then gain multi-arch capable core file generation support without
increased complexity.

Specifically, we get a stale cleanup error in restore_my_cleanups.
Omit the make_cleanup and have the caller free the memory.
gdb/
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_make_corefile_notes): Remove make_cleanup call.
* gcore.c (write_gcore_file): Free memory returned from
make_corefile_notes.
* linux-tdep.c (linux_make_corefile_notes): Remove make_cleanup call.
* procfs.c (procfs_make_note_section): Remove make_cleanup call.
This makes a parameter of to_info_proc const and then fixes up some
fallout, including parameters in a couple of gdbarch methods.
I could not test the procfs.c change. I verified it by inspection.
If this causes an error here, it will be trivial to fix.

At least Fedora 20 has process(es):
6678 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user
6680 ? S 0:00 \_ (sd-pam)
and GDB "info os processes" crashes on it as /proc/6680/stat contains:
6680 ((sd-pam)) S 6678 6678 6678 0 -1 1077961024 33 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 0 1 0 18568 73768960 120 18446744073709551615 1 1

and GDB fails to find the proper end of the process name "((sd-pam))".
Therefore it reads core number off-by-one (it reads 17 instead of 6) and
overruns the array.
(1) Make the process name parsing more foolproof.
(2) Do not trust the parsed number from /proc/PID/stat and verify it against
the array size.
I noticed that 'ps' gets this right, so I've peeked at its
sources, and it just looks for the first ')' starting at
the end.
dc072aced7:proc/readproc.c
Look for stat2proc.
Given ps does that, I believe the kernel won't ever be changed
in a way that would break it. So it sounds like could do strrchr
from the end of stat just as well without worry, which is simpler.

It will be used when one wants to convert between the internal GDB signal
representation (enum gdb_signal) and the target's representation.
The idea of this patch came from a chat between Pedro and I on IRC, plus
the discussion of my patches to add the new $_exitsignal convenience
variable:
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00452.html>
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00352.html>
What I did was to investigate, on the Linux kernel, which targets shared
the signal numbers definition with the generic definition, present at
<include/uapi/asm-generic/signal.h>. For the record, I used linux-3.10-rc7
as the main source of information, always looking at
<arch/<ARCH_NAME>/include/uapi/asm/signal.h>. For SIGRTMAX (which defaults
to _NSIG in most cases), I had to look at different signal-related
files, but most of them (except MIPS) were defined to 64 anyway.
Then, with all the differences in hand, I implemented the bits on each
target.
