* gdb.base/command-line-input.exp: New file.
This patch adds a new test for stepping over clone syscall.
2016-03-03 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp (step_over_syscall): Kfail.
Invoke step_over_syscall "clone" and break_cond_on_syscall
"clone".
* gdb.base/step-over-clone.c: New file.
disp-step-syscall.exp is extended for stepping over syscall instruction
in different cases, with or without displaced stepping, and stepping
over by GDBserver.
This patch rename disp-step-syscall.exp to step-over-syscall.exp to
reflect this.

We can also extend disp-step-syscall.exp to test GDBserver step over
breakpoint on syscall instruction. That is, we set a breakpoint
with a false condition on syscall instruction, so that GDBserver will
step over it.
This test triggers a GDBserver internal error, which can be fixed by
this series.

* gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp (break_cond_on_syscall): New.
If target supports condition evaluation on target, invoke
break_cond_on_syscall for fork and vfork.
disp-step-syscall.exp was added to test displaced stepping over syscall
instructions, in which we set breakpoint on syscall instruction, and
step over it. In fact, we can extend the test to non-displaced-stepping
case. This patch wraps the test with displaced stepping on and off.
Note that the indentation and format isn't adjusted here to make this
patch easy to read. The following patch will fix the format separately.

on if supported.
This patch moves some code out of disp_step_cross_syscall to a new proc
check_pc_after_cross_syscall and setup. Procedure setup is to start a
fresh GDB and compute the syscall instruction address.

One of the last checks update_breakpoints_after_exec does while looping
over the list of breakpoints is check that the breakpoint has a valid
location spec. It uses event_location_empty_p to check if the location spec
is "empty", and if it is, the breakpoint is deleted.
momentary_breakpoint types rely on setting the breakpoint structure's
location spec to NULL, thereby causing an update to delete the breakpoint.
However, event_location_empty_p assumed that locations were never NULL.
As a result, GDB would crash dereferencing a NULL pointer whenever
update_breakpoints_after_exec would encounter a momentary_breakpoint.
This patch creates a new wrapper/helper function which tests that the given
breakpoint's location spec is non-NULL and if it is not "empty"
or "unspecified."

[PR17431: following execs with "breakpoint always-inserted on"]
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-09/msg00733.html
The problem this time is that we currently update the global location
list and try to insert breakpoint locations after re-setting _each_
breakpoint in turn.
Say:
- We have _more_ than one breakpoint set. Let's assume 2.
- There's a breakpoint with a pre-exec address that ends up being an
unmapped address after the exec.
- That breakpoint is NOT the first in the breakpoint list.
Then when handling an exec, and we re-set the first breakpoint in the
breakpoint list, we mistakently try to install the old pre-exec /
un-re-set locations of the other breakpoint, which fails:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Tighten expected GDB output.
When running tests in parallel, each test puts its generated files in a
different directory, under "outputs". I think it would be nice if it
was always the case, as it would isolate the test cases a bit more. An
artifact created by a test wouldn't get overwritten by another test.
Also, it makes it easier to clean up. A lot of executables are left all
over the place because their names do not appear in gdb.*/Makefile. If
everything is in "outputs", then we just have to delete that directory
(which we already do).
At the same time it makes the gdb.foo directories and their Makefiles
useless in the build directory, since they are pretty much only used for
cleaning.

BASEDIR was added by https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00587.html
in order to handle the different directory layout in serial testing
and parallel testing. BASEDIR is "gdb.base" in serial testing and is
"outputs/gdb.base/TESTNAME" in parallel testing. However, it doesn't
work if the GDBserver is in remote target, like this,
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost foll-vfork.exp foll-exec.exp'
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: continue to first exec catchpoint (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork and exec child follow, to main bp: continue to bp (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork child follow, finish after tcatch vfork: finish (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork relations in info inferiors: continue to bp (the program exited)
these tests fail because the executable can't be found. With target
board native-gdbserver, the program is spawned this way,
spawn ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2347 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork
so BASEDIR is correct. However, with target board
remote-gdbserver-on-localhost, the program is spawned
spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l yao localhost /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2346 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork
so BASEDIR (either "gdb.base" or "outputs/gdb.base/TESTNAME") makes no
sense.
I had a fix that pass absolute directory to BASEDIR, but it assumes
that directory structure is the same on build and target, and it
doesn't work in remote host case. The current fix in this patch is
to get the directory from argv[0]. In any case, the program to be
exec'ed is at the same directory with the main program.
Note that these tests do "next N" to let program stop at the desired
line, but it is fragile, because GDB for different targets may skip
function prologue slightly differently, so I replace some of them by
"tbreak on LINE NUMBER and continue".

For languages with dynamic types, an incorrect program, or uninitialised
variables within a program, could result in an incorrect, overly large
type being associated with a value. Currently, attempting to print such
a variable will result in gdb trying to allocate an overly large buffer.
If this large memory allocation fails then the result can be gdb either
terminating, or (due to memory contention) becoming unresponsive for the
user.
A new user visible variable in gdb helps guard against such problems,
two new commands are available:
set max-value-size
show max-value-size
The 'max-value-size' is the maximum size of memory in bytes that gdb
will allocate for the contents of a value. Any attempt to allocate a
value with a size greater than this will result in an error. The
initial default for this limit is set at 64k, this is based on a similar
limit that exists within the ada specific code.
It is possible for the user to set max-value-size to unlimited, in which
case the old behaviour is restored.

If you have "set follow-fork child" set, then if you do "info threads"
right after a fork, and before the child reports any other event to
GDB core, you'll see:
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 31875) "fork-plus-threa" (running)
2.1 process 31879 "fork-plus-threa" Selected thread is running.
(gdb)
The "Selected thread is running." bit is a bogus error. That was GDB
trying to fetch the current frame of thread 2.1, because the external
runnning state is "stopped", and then throwing an error because the
thread is actually running.
This actually affects all-stop + schedule-multiple as well.
The problem here is that on a fork event, GDB doesn't update the
external parent/child running states.
New comprehensive test included. The "kill inferior 1" / "kill
inferior 2" bits also trip on PR gdb/19494 (hang killing unfollowed
fork children), which was fixed by the previous patch.

linux_nat_kill relies on get_last_target_status to determine whether
the current inferior is stopped at a unfollowed fork/vfork event.
This is bad because many things can happen ever since we caught the
fork/vfork event... This commit rewrites that code to instead walk
the thread list looking for unfollowed fork events, similarly to what
was done for remote.c.
New test included. The main idea of the test is make sure that when
the program stops for a fork catchpoint, and the user kills the
parent, gdb also kills the unfollowed fork child. Since the child
hasn't been added as an inferior at that point, we need some other
portable way to detect that the child is gone. The test uses a pipe
for that. The program forks twice, so you have grandparent, child and
grandchild. The grandchild inherits the write side of the pipe. The
grandparent hangs reading from the pipe, since nothing ever writes to
it. If, when GDB kills the child, it also kills the grandchild, then
the grandparent's pipe read returns 0/EOF and the test passes.
Otherwise, if GDB doesn't kill the grandchild, then the pipe read
never returns and the test times out, like:
FAIL: gdb.base/catch-fork-kill.exp: fork-kind=fork: exit-kind=kill: fork: kill parent (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/catch-fork-kill.exp: fork-kind=vfork: exit-kind=kill: vfork: kill parent (timeout)

A relatively recent patch support for explicit locations, and part
of that patch cleaned up the way we parse breakpoint locations.
Unfortunatly, a small regression crept in for "*<EXPR>" breakpoint
locations. In particular, on PIE programs, one can see the issue by
doing the following, with any program:
(gdb) b *main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x51a: file hello.c, line 3.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/hello
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.

Just for the record, this regression was introduced by:
commit a06efdd6ef
Date: Tue Aug 11 17:09:35 2015 -0700
Subject: Explicit locations: introduce address locations
What happens is that the patch makes the implicit assumption that
the address computed the first time is static, as if it was designed
to only support litteral expressions (Eg. "*0x1234"). This allows
the shortcut of not re-computing the breakpoint location's address
when re-setting breakpoints.
However, this does not work in general, as demonstrated in the example
above.
This patch plugs that hole simply by saving the original expression
used to compute the address as part of the address location, so as
to then re-evaluate that expression during breakpoint re-set.

... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html
This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:
(gdb) info threads

Breakpoint 1, thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:87

The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.
It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":
...
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...
The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.
I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in
"Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"
but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.
Here's a larger example session in non-stop mode:

This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 6022 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads

(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

This commit merges both the registers and $_siginfo "thread
running/executing" checks into a single function.
Accessing $_siginfo from a "catch signal" breakpoint condition doesn't
work. The condition always fails with "Selected thread is running":
(gdb) catch signal
Catchpoint 3 (standard signals)
(gdb)
condition $bpnum $_siginfo.si_signo == 5
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Error in testing breakpoint condition:
Selected thread is running.
Catchpoint 3 (signal SIGUSR1), 0x0000003615e35877 in __GI_raise (sig=10) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56
56 return INLINE_SYSCALL (tgkill, 3, pid, selftid, sig);
(gdb)
When accessing the $_siginfo object, we check whether the thread is
marked running (external/public) state and refuse the access if so.
This is so "print $_siginfo" at the prompt fails nicelly when the
current thread is running. While evaluating breakpoint conditionals,
we haven't decided yet whether the thread is going to stop, so
is_running still returns true, and we thus always error out.
Evaluating an expression that requires registers access is really
conceptually the same -- we could think of $_siginfo as a pseudo
register. However, in that case we check whether the thread is marked
executing (internal/private state), not running (external/public
state). Changing the $_siginfo validation to check is_executing as
well fixes the bug in question.
Note that checking is_executing is not fully correct, not even for
registers. See PR 19389. However, I think this is the lesser of two
evils and ends up as an improvement. We at least now have a single
place to fix.

This patch removes cases from the testsuite that are not posssibly used. The
messages "Catch of * not yet implemented" were removed here:

This patch removes all special cases for HP-UX, for which support has

architecture != HP-UX, since other OSes can run on hppa, so I tried to
leave everything that is not HP-UX specific.
Two complete tests were completely HP-UX specific, so I removed them.
I ran the testsuite on Linux x86-64, native and native-gdbserver, and
noticed no regressions.

This patch updates tests for fork and exec events in target remote mode.
In the majority of cases this was a simple matter of removing some code
that disabled the test for target remote. In a few cases the test needed
to be disabled; in those cases the gdb_protocol was checked instead of
using the [is_remote target] etc.
In a couple of cases we needed to use clean_restart, since target remote
doesn't support the run command, and in one case we had to modify an expect
expression to allow for a "multiprocess-style" ptid.
Tested with the patch that implemented target remote mode fork and exec
event support.

* gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp (main): Enable for target
remote.

When a a user uses 'list +' to list forward through a source file they
eventually reach the end of the source file. Subsequent uses of 'list
+' result in an error message like this, that let the user know they are
at the end of the source file:
Line number XXX out of range; FILENAME has YYY lines.
Compare this to the current behaviour of 'list -' which lists backwards
through a source file. When the user reaches the beginning of the
source file, subsequent uses of 'list -' result in the command silently
returning. This can be confusing if the previous uses of 'list -' have
scrolled off the users display, the user receives no reminder that the
have already seen the start of the file.
After this commit a use of 'list -' when the user has already seen the
start of a file will receive the following error:
Already at the start of FILENAME.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (list_command): Add an error when trying to use
'-' to scan read off the start of the source file.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/list.exp (test_list_forward): Add end of file error
test.
(test_repeat_list_command): Add end of file error test.
(test_list_backwards): Add beginning of file error test.
There is an inconsistency with the handling of the special +/- arguments
to the list command.
For the very first time that list is used (after the inferior has
changed locations) then only the first character of the argument string
is checked, so 'list +BLAH' will operate as 'list +' and 'list -----FOO'
will operate as 'list -'. This compares to each subsequent use of list,
where the whole argument string is checked, so 'list +BLAH' will try to
list lines of code around the function '+BLAH'.
This commit unifies the behaviour so that the whole argument string is
checked, in order to list the next 10, or previous 10 lines from a file
only 'list +' and 'list -' are now valid.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (list_command): Check that the argument string is
a single character, either '+' or '-'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/list.exp (test_list_invalid_args): New function,
defined, and called.
I happen to find that coremaker2.c isn't used in the testsuite (if I
don't miss anything). I don't believe it until I see this ChangeLog
entry,

* gdb.base/coremaker2.c: Add sample program for generating

* gdb.base/catch-fork-static.exp: New.
In my remote cross testing (x86_64 host and aarch64 target), the test
gdb.base/sizeof.exp is skipped because gdb,noinferiorio is defined in
my gdbserver board file. Tests are skipped because the test checks
the expected value from the program's output, but I don't see why must
do it this way. With my patch applied, we can save the result in variable
in the program, and check the variable then. Then, the test doesn't rely
on inferiorio.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-12-03 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/sizeof.c: Don't include stdio.h and
../lib/unbuffer_output.c.
(main): New variable 'size' and 'value'. Remove printf and
gdb_unbuffer_output. Assign return value to size and value.
* gdb.base/sizeof.exp: Remove the checking to gdb,noinferiorio
at the beginning.
(check_sizeof): Check the result by printing variable 'size'.
(check_valueof): Check the result by printing variable 'value'.
Testing with the extended-remote board with "maint set target-non-stop
on" shows a dprintf-non-stop.exp regression. The issue is simply that
the test is expecting output that is only valid for the native target:
native:
[process 8676] #1 stopped.
remote:
[Thread 8900.8900] #1 stopped.
In order to expose this without "maint set target-non-stop on", this
restarts gdb with non-stop mode already enabled.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/dprintf-non-stop.exp: Use build_executable instead of
prepare_for_testing. Start gdb with "set non-stop on" appended to
GDBFLAGS. Lax expected stop output.

The comment for the code in question says:
/* If the minimal symbol has a zero size, save it
but keep scanning backwards looking for one with
a non-zero size. A zero size may mean that the
symbol isn't an object or function (e.g. a
label), or it may just mean that the size was not
specified. */
As written, the code in question will only scan past the first symbol
of zero size. My change fixes the implementation to match the
comment.
Having this correct is important when the compiler generates several
local labels that are left in place by the linker. (I've been told
that the linker should eliminate these symbols, but I know of one
architecture for which this is not happening.)
I've created a test case called asmlabel.c. It's pretty simple:
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
asm ("L0:");
v = 0;
asm ("L1:");
v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
asm ("L2:");
v = 2; /* set L2 breakpoint here */
return 0;
}
If breakpoints are placed on the lines indicated by the comments,
this is the behavior of GDB built without my patch:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, L1 () at asmlabel.c:26
26 v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
Note that L1 appears as the function instead of main. This is not
what we want to happen. With my patch in place, we see the desired
behavior instead:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdb88) at asmlabel.c:26
26 v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */

One of our users reported an internal error using the "bt full"
command. In their situation, reproducing involved the following
scenario:
(gdb) frame 1
(gdb) bt full
#0 0xf7783430 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
No symbol table info available.
#1 0xf5550aeb in waitpid () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81
No locals.
[...]
#6 0x0fe83139 in xxxx (arg=...)
[...some locals printed, and then...]
<S17b> =
[...]/dwarf2loc.c:364: internal-error: dwarf_expr_frame_base: Assertion
`framefunc != NULL' failed.
As shown above, the error happens while GDB is trying to print the value
of <S17b>, which is a local string internally generated by the compiler.
For that, it finds that the array lives in memory, and therefore tries
to create a struct value for it via:
case DWARF_VALUE_MEMORY:
{
CORE_ADDR address = dwarf_expr_fetch_address (ctx, 0);
[...]
retval = value_at_lazy (type, address + byte_offset);
Unfortunately for us, TYPE happens to be an array whose bounds
are dynamic. More precisely, the bounds of our arrays are described
in the debugging info as being...
<4><2c1985e>: Abbrev Number: 33 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<2c1985f> DW_AT_type : <0x2c1989c>
<2c19863> DW_AT_lower_bound : <0x2c19835>
<2c19867> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x2c19841>
... which are references to a pair of local variables. For instance,
the lower bound is a reference to the following DIE
<3><2c19835>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_variable)
<2c19836> DW_AT_name : [...]
<2c1983a> DW_AT_type : <0x2c198b4>
<2c1983e> DW_AT_artificial : 1
<2c1983e> DW_AT_location : 2 byte block: 91 58 (DW_OP_fbreg: -40)
As a result of the above, value_at_lazy indirectly triggers
a resolution of TYPE (via value_from_contents_and_address),
which means a resolution of TYPE's bounds, and as seen in
the DW_AT_location attribute above for our bounds, computing
the bound's location requires the frame (its location expression
uses DW_OP_fbreg).
Unfortunately for us, value_at_lazy does not get passed a frame,
we've lost the relevant frame when we try to resolve the array's
bounds. Instead, resolve_dynamic_range gets calls dwarf2_evaluate_property
with NULL as the frame:
static struct type *
resolve_dynamic_range (struct type *dyn_range_type,
struct property_addr_info *addr_stack)
{
[...]
if (dwarf2_evaluate_property (prop, NULL, addr_stack, &value))
^^^^
... which then handles this by using the selected frame instead:
if (frame == NULL && has_stack_frames ())
frame = get_selected_frame (NULL);
In our case, the selected frame happens to be frame #1, which is
a frame where we have a minimal amount of debugging info, and in
particular, no debug info for the function itself. And because of that,
when we try to determine the frame's base...
static void
dwarf_expr_frame_base (void *baton, const gdb_byte **start,
size_t * length)
{
struct dwarf_expr_baton *debaton = (struct dwarf_expr_baton *) baton;
const struct block *bl = get_frame_block (debaton->frame, NULL);
[...]
framefunc = block_linkage_function (bl);
... framefunc ends up being NULL, which triggers the assert
in that same function:
gdb_assert (framefunc != NULL);
This patches avoids the issue by temporarily setting the selected_frame
before printing the locals of each frames.
This patch also adds a small testcase, which reproduces the same
issue, but with a slightly different outcome:
(gdb) bt full
#0 0x000000000040049a in opaque_routine ()
No symbol table info available.
#1 0x0000000000400532 in main () at wrong_frame_bt_full-main.c:20
my_table_size = 3
my_table = <error reading variable my_table (frame address is not available.)>
With this patch, the output becomes:
(gdb) bt full

my_table = {0, 1, 2}

gdb.base/gnu_vector.c printf the vector and gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp
expects the output by gdb_test_multiple. Nowadays, the test doesn't
expect the output from inferior_spawn_id, which is wrong. Even we
change the test to expect from inferior_spawn_id for the inferior
output, it is still possible the inferior exit before tcl/expect gets
the inferior output. We see this fail on both s390x-linux and
ppc-linux on buildbot,

In order to address these two shortcomings above in gnu_vector.exp,
this patch rewrites the test a little bit. Get rid of checking the
inferior output, and instead checking them by printing them. In this

Nowadays, in the range-stepping tests, we check not only the number of
vCont;r packets but also the number of vCont;s packets, because we think
the remote target which can do range stepping must support single step.
However, if we turn displaced stepping on, the remote target (GDBserver)
can do range stepping, and support single step, but GDB may decide to
resume instructions in the scratchpad rather than single step them one
by one for displaced stepping. For example, when aarch64 GDB debugs
arm linux program with aarch64 GDBserver, GDBserver supports both range
stepping and single step, but GDB (with the gdbarch for arm-linux)
decides resume instructions in the scratchpad, so in the RSP traffic,
there is no vCont;s packet at all, and some range-stepping.exp tests
fail,
FAIL: gdb.base/range-stepping.exp: multi insns: next: vCont;s=1 vCont;r=1

The existing logic was simply to flip syscall entry/return state when a
syscall trap was seen, and even then only with active 'catch syscall'.
That can get out of sync if 'catch syscall' is toggled at odd times.
This patch updates the entry/return state for all syscall traps,
regardless of catching state, and also updates known syscall state for
other kinds of traps. Almost all PTRACE_EVENT stops are delivered from
the middle of a syscall, so this can act like an entry. Every other
kind of ptrace stop is only delivered outside of syscall event pairs, so
marking them ignored ensures the next syscall trap looks like an entry.
Three new test scenarios are added to catch-syscall.exp:
- Disable 'catch syscall' from an entry to deliberately miss the return
event, then re-enable to make sure a new entry is recognized.
- Enable 'catch syscall' for the first time from a vfork event, which is
a PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK in the middle of the syscall. Make sure the next
syscall event is recognized as the return.
- Make sure entry and return are recognized for an ENOSYS syscall. This
is to defeat a common x86 hack that uses the pre-filled ENOSYS return
value as a sign of being on the entry side.

The func command, available when starting gdb in dbx mode, is supposed

Assume foo_array is a pointer to a C structure. GDB must evaluate the
following expression properly, but it does not currently:
(gdb) print 1 && &foo_array[1].a
Attempt to take address of value not located in memory.
The problem is that in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode,
eval.c:evaluate_subexp_standard always returns a not_lval value as the
result for a STRUCTOP_STRUCT operation. As a consequence, the rest of
the code believes that one cannot take the address of the returned
value.
This patch fixes STRUCTOP_STRUCT handling so that the VALUE_LVAL
attribute for the returned value is properly initialized. After this
change, the above session becomes:
(gdb) print 1 && &foo_array[1].a
$1 = 1

Note that the output is correct; it's just that inferior output
appeared after gdb's output, and the test doesn't handle that
correctly.
This comment isn't really correct, unfortunately:
# waiting. If we had already seen the status wrapper exit,
# gdb_test_multiple/expect has no spawn ids left, and thus
# returns.
That's true of expect in general, but I had missed / forgot that
gdb_test_multiple internally has extra matches using "-i
$gdb_spawn_id", so even if the caller clears all the indirect spawn id
lists, gdb_test_multiple will continue waiting.
So do a conditional exp_continue manually instead.

This patch, relative to a tree with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00295.html, fixes
issues/crashes that trigger if something unexpected happens during a
hook-stop.
E.g., if the inferior disappears while running the hook-stop, we hit
failed assertions:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>kill
>end
(gdb) si
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

I noticed that if a hook-stop issues a synchronous execution command,
we print the same stop event twice:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>si
>end
(gdb) si

(gdb)
The fix has GDB stop processing the event if the context changed. I
don't expect people to be doing crazy things from the hook-stop.
E.g., it gives me headaches to try to come up a proper behavior for
handling a thread change from a hook-stop... (E.g., imagine the
hook-stop does thread N; step, with scheduler-locing on). I think the
most important bit here is preventing crashes.
The patch adds a new hook-stop.exp test that covers the above and also
merges in the old hook-stop-continue.exp and hook-stop-frame.exp into
the same framework.

This patch updates several exec-related tests and some of the library
functions in order to get them running with extended-remote. There were
three changes that were required, as follows:
In gdb.base/foll-exec.exp, use 'clean_start' in place of proc 'zap_session'
to reset the state of the debugger between tests. This sets 'remote
exec-file' to execute the correct binary file in each subsequent test.
In gdb.base/pie-execl.exp, there is an expect statement with an expression
that is used to match output from both gdb and the program under debug.
For the remote target, this had to be split into two expressions, using
$inferior_spawn_id to match the output from the program.
Because I had encountered problems with extended-remote exec events in
non-stop mode in my manual testing, I added non-stop testing to the
non-ldr-exc-[1234].exp tests. In order to set non-stop mode for remote
targets, it is necessary to 'set non-stop on' after gdb has started, but
before it connects to gdbserver. This is done using 'save_vars' to set
non-stop mode in GDBFLAGS, so GDB sets non-stop mode on startup.

This patch implements a new GDB test for follow-exec-mode. Although
there is a GDB test for debugging across an exec, there is no test for
follow-exec-mode. This test is derived from gdb.base/foll-exec.exp,
and re-uses execd-prog.c as the program to exec.
The following behavior is tested:
follow-exec-mode == "same"
- 'next' over the exec, check for one inferior
- 'continue' past the exec to a breakpoint, check for one inferior
- after the exec, use a 'run' command to run the current binary
follow-exec-mode == "new"
- 'next' over the exec, check for two inferiors
- 'continue' past the exec to a breakpoint, check for two inferiors
- after the exec, use a 'run' command to run the current binary
- after the exec, use the 'inferior' command to switch inferiors,
then use a 'run' command to run the current binary
Note that single-step breakpoints do not survive across an exec.
There has to be a breakpoint in the execed program in order for
it to stop right after the exec.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/foll-exec-2.c: New test program.
* gdb.base/foll-exec-2.exp: New test.
GDB's current behavior when dealing with non-local references in the
context of nested fuctions is approximative:
- code using valops.c:value_of_variable read the first available stack
frame that holds the corresponding variable (whereas there can be
multiple candidates for this);
- code directly relying on read_var_value will instead read non-local
variables in frames where they are not even defined.
This change adds the necessary context to symbol reads (to get the block
they belong to) and to blocks (the static link property, if any) so that
GDB can make the proper decisions when dealing with non-local varibale
references.

This avoids two more types of FAILs with the gnu_vector test case.
First, for POWER targets newer GCCs emit an ABI note when invoked with
"-mcpu=native". Then the test case fell back to non-native compile,
producing code for a non-vector ABI. But that is not supported by GDB.
Thus the compiler note is now suppressed with "-Wno-psabi".
Second, on s390 the test case produced FAILs after falling back to a
non-vector ABI when using "finish" or "return" in a vector-valued
function. This was due to a long-standing known bug (Bug 8549). This
case is now detected, and KFAILs are emitted instead.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: Try compilation with "-mcpu=native
-Wno-psabi" if "-mcpu=native" fails. For the tests with "finish"
and "return" use KFAIL when GDB can not read/write the vector
return value.
Invoking either of the above commands on an inferior that's not running
triggers the following assert failure:
.../binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:514: internal-error: any_thread_of_process: Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
The fix is straightforward. This patch also adds a test to check the

This happens because gdb_get_line_number will prepend $srcdir/$subdir
if the given filename does not start with "/", and this happens when
GDB was configured using a relative path to the configure script.
When using an absolute path like I do, we avoid the pre-pending that
Keith is seeing.

Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>:
* gdb.base/dso2dso.exp: Pass basename of source file in call
to gdb_get_line_number.
Tested on x86_64-linux with both scenarios.
Making all-stop run on top of non-stop caused a small regression
in behavior. This was observed on x86_64-linux. The attached testcase
is in C whereas the investigation was done with an Ada program,
but it's the same scenario, and using a C testcase allows wider testing.
Basically: I am debugging a single-threaded program, and currently
stopped inside a function provided by a shared-library, at a line
calling a subprogram provided by a second shared library, and trying
to "next" over that function call.
Before we changed the default all-stop behavior, we had:
7 Impl_Initialize; -- Stop here and try "next" over this line
(gdb) n
8 return 5; <<-- OK
But now, "next" just stops much earlier:
(gdb) n
0x00007ffff7bd8560 in impl.initialize@plt () from /[...]/lib/libpck.so
What happens is that next stops at a call instruction, which calls
the function's PLT, and GDB fails to notice that the inferior stepped
into a subroutine, and so decides that we're done. We can see another
symptom of the same issue by looking at the backtrace at the point
GDB stopped:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff7bd8560 in impl.initialize@plt ()
from /[...]/lib/libpck.so
#1 0x00000000f7bd86f9 in ?? ()
#2 0x00007fffffffdf50 in ?? ()
#3 0x0000000000401893 in a () at /[...]/a.adb:7
Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
With a functioning GDB, the backtrace looks like the following instead:
#0 0x00007ffff7bd8560 in impl.initialize@plt ()
from /[...]/lib/libpck.so
#1 0x00007ffff7bd86f9 in sub () at /[...]/pck.adb:7
#2 0x0000000000401893 in a () at /[...]/a.adb:7
Note how, for frame #1, the address looks quite similar, except
for the high-order bits not being set:
#1 0x00007ffff7bd86f9 in sub () at /[...]/pck.adb:7 <<<-- OK
#1 0x00000000f7bd86f9 in ?? () <<<-- WRONG
^^^^
||||
Wrong
Investigating this further led me to displaced stepping.
As we are "next"-ing from a location where a breakpoint is inserted,
we need to step out of it, and since we're on non-stop mode, we need
to do it using displaced stepping. And looking at
amd64-tdep.c:amd64_displaced_step_fixup, I found the code that handles
the return address:
regcache_cooked_read_unsigned (regs, AMD64_RSP_REGNUM, &rsp);
retaddr = read_memory_unsigned_integer (rsp, retaddr_len, byte_order);
retaddr = (retaddr - insn_offset) & 0xffffffffUL;
The mask used to compute retaddr looks wrong to me, keeping only
4 bytes instead of 8, and explains why the high order bits of
the backtrace are unset. What happens is that, after the displaced
stepping has completed, GDB restores that return address at the location
where the program expects it. But because the top half bits of
the address have been masked out, the return address is now invalid.
The incorrect behavior of the "next" command and the backtrace at
that location are the first symptoms of that. Another symptom is
that this actually alters the behavior of the program, where a "cont"
from there soon leads to a SEGV when the inferior tries to jump back
to that incorrect return address:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000f7bd86f9 in ?? ()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This patch fixes the issue by using a mask that seems more appropriate
for this architecture.

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
Keith found out that several tests were failing when testing the
native-gdbserver board on Fedora (x86_64). Strangely, these failures
had not been reported by our BuildBot. Later, he found that the reason
for this was because the failures only happened when running the
testsuite without FORCE_PARALLEL (i.e., on serial mode; maybe it would
be worth having a builder testing things on serial...). Then, he
decided to start bisecting the changes to see which one introduced the
failure (it was not trivial to know this only by looking at gdb.log).
After a lot of time, he found that Pedro's commit
e1316e60d4 was the culprit. There was
nothing wrong in the code, but the new gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp
testcase did something that left the GDBFLAGS variable in an
inconsistent state. This test works by modifying this variable to set
non-stop on, sourcing gdb.base/checkpoint.exp (which does the hard
work), and then restoring the old value on GDBFLAGS. However, this was
not working because gdb.base/checkpoint.exp bails out if it is being
tested on gdbserver, and when it calls "continue" the control goes back
to the function calling the tests, and not to
gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp.
The fix is simple: just wrap the "source" call, and make
gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp aware of the "continue"/"return" calls made
by gdb.base/checkpoint.exp.

* gdb.base/help.exp: Update help_breakpoint_text.
This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
adds no new features.
The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
...
}
one now uses:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
struct event_locaiton *location;
struct cleanup *back_to;
location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
do_cleanups (back_to);
}
Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
demonstrated above.

Even though that was a native GNU/Linux test run, this test spawns
Valgrind and connects to it with "target remote". The error above is
actually orthogonal to target-non-stop. The real issue is that that
enables displaced stepping, and displaced stepping doesn't work with
Valgrind, because we can't write to the inferior memory (thus can't
copy the instruction to the scratch pad area).
I'm sure there will be other targets with the same issue, so trying to
identify Valgrind wouldn't be sufficient. The fix is to try setting
up the displaced step anyway. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, we disable
displaced stepping for that inferior, and fall back to doing an
in-line step-over. If "set displaced-stepping" is "on" (as opposed to
"auto), GDB warns displaced stepping failed ("on" is mainly useful for
the testsuite, not for users).

* gdb.base/valgrind-disp-step.c: New file.
* gdb.base/valgrind-disp-step.exp: New file.
Letting a "checkpoint" run to exit with "set non-stop on" behaves
differently compared to the default all-stop mode ("set non-stop
off").
Currently, in non-stop mode:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40086b: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c, line 28.
Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28
28 char *tmp = &linebuf[0];
(gdb) checkpoint
checkpoint 1: fork returned pid 24948.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Copy complete.
Deleting copy.
[Inferior 1 (process 24944) exited normally]

(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1 process 24948 "checkpoint" (running)
No selected thread. See `help thread'.
(gdb) c
The program is not being run.
(gdb)
Two issues above:
1. Thread 1 got stuck in "(running)" state (it isn't really running)
2. While checkpoints try to preserve the illusion that the thread is
still the same when the process exits, GDB switched to "No thread
selected." instead of staying with thread 1 selected.
Problem #1 is caused by handle_inferior_event and normal_stop not
considering that when a
TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED/TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED event is reported,
and the inferior is mourned, the target may still have execution.
Problem #2 is caused by the make_cleanup_restore_current_thread
cleanup installed by fetch_inferior_event not being able to find the
original thread 1's ptid in the thread list, thus not being able to
restore thread 1 as selected thread. The fix is to make the cleanup
installed by make_cleanup_restore_current_thread aware of thread ptid
changes, by installing a thread_ptid_changed observer that adjusts the
cleanup's data.
After the patch, we get the same in all-stop and non-stop modes:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Copy complete.
Deleting copy.
[Inferior 1 (process 25109) exited normally]

* 1 process 25113 "checkpoint" main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28
(gdb)
Turns out the whole checkpoints.exp file can run in non-stop mode
unmodified. I thought of moving most of the test file's contents to a
procedure that can be called twice, once in non-stop mode and another
in all-stop mode. But then, the test already takes close to 30
seconds to run on my machine, so I thought it'd be nicer to run
all-stop and non-stop mode in parallel. Thus I added a new
checkpoint-ns.exp file that just appends "set non-stop on" to GDBFLAGS
and sources checkpoint.exp.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): If we get
TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED or TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED in non-stop
mode, mark all threads of the exiting process as not-executing.
(normal_stop): If we get TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED or
TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED in non-stop mode, finish all threads of the
exiting process, if inferior_ptid still points at a process.
* thread.c (struct current_thread_cleanup) <next>: New field.
(current_thread_cleanup_chain): New global.
(restore_current_thread_ptid_changed): New function.
(restore_current_thread_cleanup_dtor): Remove the cleanup from the
current_thread_cleanup_chain list.

This test fails with --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver because
it misses the usual "disconnect":

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp: Report test as unsupported if
the target cannot stop at the permanent breakpoint.
The buildbots show that attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp is racy.
But after staring at debug logs and playing with SystemTap scripts for
a (long) while, I figured out that neither GDB, nor the kernel nor the
test's program itself are at fault.
The problem is simply that the testsuite machinery is currently
subject to PID-reuse races. The attach-many-short-lived-threads.c
test program just happens to be much more susceptible to trigger this
race because threads and processes share the same number space on
Linux, and the test spawns many many short lived threads in
succession, thus enlarging the race window a lot.
Part of the problem is that several tests spawn processes with "exec&"
(in order to test the "attach" command) , and then at the end of the
test, to make sure things are cleaned up, issue a 'remote_spawn "kill
-p $testpid"'. Since with tcl's "exec&", tcl itself is responsible
for reaping the process's exit status, when we go kill the process,
testpid may have already exited _and_ its status may have (and often
has) been reaped already. Thus it can happen that another process
meanwhile reuses $testpid, and that "kill" command kills the wrong
process... Frequently, that happens to be
attach-many-short-lived-thread, but this explains other test's races
as well.
In the attach-many-short-lived-threads test, it sometimes manifests
like this:
(gdb) file /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads
Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads...done.

Other times the process dies while the test is ongoing (the process is
ptrace-stopped):
(gdb) print again = 1
Cannot access memory at address 0x6020cc
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: reset timer in the inferior

And other times it dies just while we're detaching:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: print seconds_left
detach
Can't detach Thread 0x7fb13b7de700 (LWP 1842): No such process
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: detach
GDB mishandles the latter (it should ignore ESRCH while detaching just
like when continuing), but that's another story.
The fix here is to change spawn_wait_for_attach to use Expect's
'spawn' command instead of Tcl's 'exec&' to spawn programs, because
with spawn we control when to wait for/reap the process. That allows
killing the process by PID without being subject to pid-reuse races,
because even if the process is already dead, the kernel won't reuse
the process's PID until the zombie is reaped.
The other part of the problem lies in DejaGnu itself, unfortunately.
I have occasionally seen tests (attach-many-short-lived-threads
included, but not only that one) die with a random inexplicable
SIGTERM too, and that too is caused by the same reason, except that in
that case, the rogue SIGTERM is sent from this bit in DejaGnu's remote.exp:
exec sh -c "exec > /dev/null 2>&1 && (kill -2 $pgid || kill -2 $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill $pgid || kill $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill -9 $pgid || kill -9 $pid) &"
...
catch "wait -i $shell_id"
Even if the program exits promptly, that whole cascade of kills
carries on in the background, thus potentially killing the poor
process that manages to reuse $pid...
I sent a fix for that to the DejaGnu list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00000.html
With both patches in place, I haven't seen
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp fail again.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, gdbserver and extended-gdbserver.

kill_wait_spawned_process.
* gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: Adjust to
spawn_wait_for_attach returning a spawn id instead of a pid. Use
spawn_id_get_pid and kill_wait_spawned_process.

(kill_wait_spawned_process, spawn_id_get_pid): New procedures.
(spawn_wait_for_attach): Use spawn instead of exec to spawn
processes. Don't map cygwin/windows pids here. Now returns a
spawn id list.
Just a slight cleanup. Committed as obvious.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/batch-preserve-term-settings.exp
(test_terminal_settings_preserved_after_cli_exit): Use
send_quit_command.
Tested on x86_64 Debian Stretch, native, gdbserver and
extended-gdbserver. Also tested that the various error paths, like if
$PPID is empty or if SIGTERM did not not kill GDB, function correctly.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/batch-preserve-term-settings.exp (send_quit_command):
New proc.
(test_terminal_settings_preserved_after_sigterm): New test.
Now that we can expect inferior output with the gdbserver boards, this
is all it takes to have the test pass against extended-remote
gdbserver.
Don Breazeal originally wrong something like this:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00506.html
which was what originally inspired the introduction of
$inferior_spawn_id.

Don Breazeal <donb@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/multi-forks.exp (continue_to_exit_bp_loc): Expect
output from both inferior_spawn_id and gdb_spawn_id.
When exiting GDB -- whether it's via the "quit" command, via a SIGTERM,
or otherwise -- we should leave the terminal in the state we acquired
it. To that end, we have to undo any modifications that may have been
made by the TUI (ncurses) or by the CLI (readline).
Tested on x86_64 Debian Stretch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.c: Include "tui/tui.h".
(undo_terminal_modifications_before_exit): New static function.
(quit_force): Use it.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/batch-preserve-term-settings.exp
(test_terminal_settings_preserved_after_cli_exit): New test.
See ChangeLog for details. No functional change intended.
Tested on x86_64 Debian Stretch by verifying that the gdb.log output
remains unchanged for native, gdbserver and extended-gdbserver.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/batch-preserve-term-settings.exp: Remove top-level
manipulation of saved_gdbflags.
(test_terminal_settings_preserved): Remove global declaration of
the unused variable pagination_prompt. Remove manipulation of
saved_gdbflags. Use a local variable EXTRA_GDBFLAGS instead of
GDBFLAGS.
The following patch will remove the gdb,noinferiorio setting from the
gdbserver boards, so this bit can be reverted.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-07-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Revert back to checking gdb,noinferiorio
at the top.
This forces all tests that rely on stdio to be unbuffered, like
interrupt.exp was adjusted in 6f98576f.
To recap, in some scenarios, GDB or GDBserver can be spawned with
input _not_ connected to a tty, and then tests that rely on stdio fail
with timeouts, because the inferior's stdout and stderr streams end up
fully buffered. Calling gdb_unbuffer_output forces output to be
unbuffered.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00809.html and
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00819.html.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and against a remote gdbserver
board file that connects to the target with ssh, with and without -t
(create pty).

2015-07-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp: Use gdb_test_stdio+multi_line instead
of gdb_test_sequence.
This one is a little more complicated than the other patches in this
series, because of the exit status wrapper handling, requiring a
little state machine.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-07-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/a2-run.exp (saw_usage, saw_exit_wrapper)
(saw_spurious_output): Expect inferior output from
$inferior_spawn_id. Use gdb_test_stdio.
This one needed a larger revamp. The issue is that the "info
breakpoints" test at the bottom of the file is broken on targets that
can do both server-side dprintf, and inferior I/O, because then
neither the breakpoint numbers match nor the "already hit N times"
output.
Address that by making the test restart gdb from scratch when
switching between dprintf styles. Test groups are factored into
procedures, and we now use with_test_prefix. While we're changing
test messages, lowercase a few test messages, and then while at it,
modernize a couple things here and there.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-07-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/dprintf.exp: Use standard_testfile. Change
prepare_for_testing call.
(srcfile): Don't set.

Restart gdb and recreate dprintfs. Adjust expected output.
There seems to be no point in relying on stdio here. Simply use
gdb_continue_to_end instead.

Set a breakpoint at "pass" and continue to it.
GDB currently does not promptly quit after receiving a SIGTERM while no
proper target is active. This is because in handle_sigterm we currently
look at target_can_async_p to determine whether to asynchronously quit
GDB using an async signal handler or to asynchronously quit using the
quit flag. However, target_can_async_p is always false under the dummy
target, so under this target we always use the quit flag and not the
async signal handler to signal that GDB should quit. So GDB won't quit
until a code path that checks the quit flag is executed.
To fix this issue, this patch makes the SIGTERM handler no longer
inspect target_can_async_p, and instead makes the handler
unconditionally set the quit flag _and_ mark the corresponding async
signal handler, so that if the target is async (or if it's the dummy
target) then we will likely quit through the async signal handler, and
if it's not async then we will likely quit through the quit flag. This
redundant approach is similar to how we handle SIGINT.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* event-top.c (handle_sigterm): Don't inspect
target_can_async_p. Always set the quit flag and always mark
the async signal handler.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gdb-sigterm-2.exp: New test.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/watchpoint.exp (test_complex_watchpoint): Remove

(get_compiler_info): Early exit if already computed. Set compiler_info
to "unknown" if there was a problem.
(test_compiler_info): Add function comment. Call get_compiler_info.
The gdb_skip_xml_test procedure explicitly says that it cannot be
invoked when GDB is running. However, the testcase for "catch
syscall" is wrongly doing that, which is causing a failure on
native-extended-gdbserver tests:

This exercises the case of the inferior disappearing while GDB is
debugging it, such as something doing "kill -9 PID" while the program

Some tests expect the the target is aarch64, but checking target
triplet is not accurate, because target triplet can be aarch64 but
the program is in arm (or aarch32) state.

GDB tests running on arm target should be also run on aarch32

precise to check target triplet to decide which tests should be run,
because if I compiler all the test binary in 32-bit (arm program),
but target triplet is still aarch64, so that these arm specific tests
are skipped.
This patch is to add a new proc is_aarch32_target which return true
if target triplet is arm or the test binary is compiled for arm.

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

The implementation is pretty straightforward, with the only caveat being
that the "src", "cmd", "next" and "prev" entries get delibrately added

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp: Test the interaction between

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment
variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its
history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

We still do not handle "set history size unlimited" correctly. In
particular, after writing to the history file, we truncate the history
even if it is unlimited.
This patch makes sure that we do not call history_truncate_file() if the
history is not stifled (i.e. if it's unlimited). This bug causes the
history file to be truncated to zero on exit when one has "set history
size unlimited" in their gdbinit file. Although this code exists in GDB
7.8, the bug is masked by a pre-existing bug that's been only fixed in
GDB 7.9 (PR gdb/17820).

So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's
vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch
enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well.
The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector
arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values.
The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture,
such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available.
Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of
the new checks are KFAILed there.

This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id,
populated when an ELF or PE BFD is read.
gdb is updated to use that, and to use the build-id to find symbols for PE files
also.
There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file,
perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense?

Some buildslaves are showing that this test is failing. E.g.,:

The issue is that HISTSIZE is set to 1000 in the environment that runs

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.

In my last commit to make gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp be more robust
regarding using arrays in the global namespace, I cleared the
"coredump_var_addr" array like this:
set coredump_var_addr ""
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
This causes DejaGNU to complain because the variable is first set as
non-array, and the used as an array. The correct way to do this is to
unset the variable using:
unset -nocomplain coredump_var_addr
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
The "-nocomplain" part is necessary because if the variable doesn't
exist "unset" will not error.
Tested on Fedora 20 x86_64.

Hi,
We see some fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp when we do remote
gdbserver testing, like what I did for arm/aarch64 linux testing or
run it with board file remote-gdbserver-on-localhost
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost coredump-filter.exp'
we find that this line in the test doesn't work as expected,
remote_exec target "sh -c \"echo $filter_flag > /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter\""
although such pattern has been used in gdb testsuite somewhere else,
but the special thing here is that we redirect the output to
/proc/$ipid/coredump_filter on the remote target. DejaGNU will
redirect the output from the remote target to local, and looks tcl
gets confused by these two redirection.
After trying pass different parameters to remote_exec and hacking
remote_exec/rsh_exec/local_exec, I got no success, I decide
to give up, and try to update /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter by the c
code directly.
This patch adds a c function set_coredump_filter to update
coredump_filter, and GDB calls it.

Hi,

There are not enough available hardware resources for this watchpoint.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp: always-inserted off: rwatch: twice: rwatch global
gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp sets two breakpoints/watchpoints on the
same address. GDB isn't smart enough calculate these two HW
watchpoints can fit in one HW debug register, so the error message
above isn't necessary (there is one HW watchpoint register on arm).
Because target_ops interface can_use_hardware_watchpoint doesn't
pass enough information to the target backend.
Note that if I don't "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1" in
remote testing, this test passes without fails. However without
"set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1", many other watchpoint
tests fail.
This patch is to add a check to skip_hw_watchpoint_multi_tests
for rwatch and awatch. We can add such check for watch as well,
but GDB is able to switch to software watchpoint if HW resource
isn't available, it doesn't cause any fail, I decide not to skip.

gdb.base/relativedebug.exp, which was added
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-10/msg00305.html
This test was indented to test the problem that "backtraces no longer
display some libc functions" after separate debug info is installed.
IOW, it makes few sense to test against libc which doesn't have debug
info at all, such as my case.
This patch is to tweak the test case to catch the output of
"info shared", if "(*)" is found for libc.so, which means libc doesn't
have debug info, then skip the test.

* gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: Switch to software watchpoints if
the target does not support hardware watchpoints.
This is another case of the testcase not handling memory write errors that
happen on some targets (QEMU) when GDB attempts to modify an address that
should contain a breakpoint, for example.
The following patch handles this and prevents spurious failures from
happening. It also adds a foreach loop to avoid duplication of code
and hardcoded patterns.

Author: Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Apr 13 02:40:08 2015 -0400
Rename variable "addr" to "coredump_var_addr" in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp
Pedro pointed out that this fix was not complete, because the
testsuite could be run several times in a row (for example), which
means that it is not enough to just make the variable name unique: it
also needs to be cleared out if it is global.
This commit does that. It is actually just a commit made to make
things totally correct; this specific test does not fail if you run it
several times in a row.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-26 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Clear variable "coredump_var_addr"
before using it.
Extend the gdb 'dump' command to allow creating output in verilog hex
format. Add some tests to cover new functionality. As bfd does not
currently support reading in verilog hex formats the tests only cover
the 'dump' command, not the 'restore' command.

* gdb.texinfo (Dump/Restore Files): Add detail about verilog dump
format.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/dump.exp: Add *.verilog files to all_files list. Add
new tests for verilog output.
Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
The problem is that we see gdbserver exiting before we match gdb's
output:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
Fix this by removing $inferior_spawn_id from the set of spawn ids
expect is watching as soon as we see the "end of file" string out of
the inferior spawn id, using an indirect spawn id list.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver (both target remote
and extended-remote).
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Use an indirect spawn id list holding
$inferior_spawn_id instead of $inferior_spawn_id directly. On
"end of file", remove $inferior_spawn_id from the indirect list.
To avoid confusion between "end of file" string matching and eof
matching, as in process exit.

2015-04-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Rename saw_eof to saw_end_of_file.
This commit fixes three gdb.base/attach.exp failures when using
extended remote targets. The failures occurred because GDB now
locates and loads files when attaching on remote targets if the
remote target supports qXfer:exec-file:read; the filenames were
shown but with "target:" prefixes which the test has been updated
to handle.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/attach.exp: Fix three extended remote failures.
I see the following two timeout fails on pandaboard (arm-linux target),
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: -location watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: regular watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
In this test, more than one watchpoint is used, so the following
watchpoint requests fall back to software watchpoint, so that GDB
will single step all the way and it is very slow.
This patch is to copy the fix from
[PATCH] GDB/testsuite: Correct gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp timeout tweak
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00716.html

The following patch prevents a number of failures by detecting this and bailing out in case the target has such a restriction. Writing to .text from within the program isn't any better. It just leads to a SIGSEGV.

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp (test): Handle the case of being unable
to write to the .text section.
This testcase seems to assume the target is running Linux, so bare metal,
simulators and other debugging stubs running different OS' will have a
hard time executing some of the commands the testcase issues.
Even restricting the testcase to Linux systems (which the patch below does),
there are still problems with, say, QEMU not providing PID information when
"info inferior" is issued. As a consequence, the subsequent tests will either
fail or will not make much sense.
The attached patch checks if PID information is available. If not, it just
bails out and avoids running into a number of failures.

* gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Restrict test to Linux systems only.
Handle the case of targets that do not provide PID information.
This commit renames the global array variable "addr" to an unique name
"coredump_var_addr" in the test gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. This is
needed because global arrays can have name conflicts between tests.
For example, this specific test was conflicting with dmsym.exp,
causing errors like:

ERROR: can't set "addr": variable is array

Hi,
ARM linux kernel has some requirements on the address/length setting
for HW breakpoints/watchpoints, but watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp doesn't
consider them and sets HW points on various addresses. Many fails
are causes as a result:
stepi^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 20.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted off: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: stepi advanced

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted on: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2

in order to skip some tests.

TL;DR:
When stepping over a breakpoint with displaced stepping, the core must
be notified of all signals, otherwise the displaced step fixup code
confuses a breakpoint trap in the signal handler for the expected trap
indicating the displaced instruction was single-stepped
normally/successfully.
Detailed version:
Running sigstep.exp with displaced stepping on, against my x86
software single-step branch, I got:
FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: step on breakpoint, to handler: performing step
FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: next on breakpoint, to handler: performing next
FAIL: gdb.base/sigstep.exp: continue on breakpoint, to handler: performing continue
Turning on debug logs, we see:

What should have happened is that the breakpoint hit in the signal
handler should have been presented to the user. But note that
"preempt 'handle'" -- what happened instead is that
displaced_step_fixup confused the breakpoint in the signal handler for
the expected SIGTRAP indicating the displaced instruction was
single-stepped normally/successfully.
This should be affecting all software single-step targets in the same
way.
The fix is to make sure the core sees all signals when displaced
stepping, just like we already must see all signals when doing an
stepping over a breakpoint in-line. We now get:
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun: 570.570.0 [process 570],

Breakpoint 3, handler (sig=14) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sigstep.c:35
35 done = 1;
Hardware single-step targets already behave this way, because the
Linux backends (both native and gdbserver) always report signals to
the core if the thread was single-stepping.
As mentioned in the new comment in do_target_resume, we can't fix this
by instead making the displaced_step_fixup phase skip fixing up the PC
if the single step stopped somewhere we didn't expect. Here's what
the backtrace would look like if we did that:

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

(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.

The gdb.base/interrupt.exp test is important for testing system call
restarting, but because it depends on inferior I/O, it ends up skipped
against gdbserver. This patch adjusts the test to use send_inferior

Working on splitting gdb and inferior output handling in this test, I
noticed a race that happens to be masked out today.
The test sends "a\n" to the inferior, and then inferior echoes back
"a\n".
If expect manages to read only the first "a\r\n" into its buffer, then
this matches:
-re "^a\r\n(|a\r\n)$" {
and leaves the second "a\r\n" in output.
Then the next test that processes inferior I/O sends "data\n", and expects:
-re "^(\r\n|)data\r\n(|data\r\n)$"
which fails given the anchor and given "a\r\n" is still in the buffer.
This is masked today because the test relies on inferior I/O being
done on GDB's terminal, and there are tested GDB commands in between,
which consume the "a\r\n" that was left in the output.
We don't support SunOS4 anymore, so just remove the workaround.

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.

thrower and catcher are simple and leaf functions.

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.

This fixes several problems with this test.
E.g,. with --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver on x86_64 Fedora
20, I get:
Running /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp ...

FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: continue to marker (vfork) (the program is no longer running)
And with --target=native-gdbserver, I get:
Running /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp ...
KPASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: single step over vfork (PRMS server/13796)

FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: delete break vfork insn
FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: continue to marker (vfork) (the program is no longer running)
First, the lack of fork support on remote targets is supposed to be
kfailed, so the KPASS is obviously bogus. The extended-remote board
should have KFAILed too.
The problem is that the test is using "is_remote" instead of
gdb_is_target_remote.
And then, I get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: set displaced-stepping on
stepi
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: single step over vfork
Obviously, that should be a FAIL. The problem is that the test only
expects SIGILL, not SIGSEGV. It also doesn't bail correctly if an
internal error or some other pattern caught by gdb_test_multiple
matches. The test doesn't really need to match specific exits/crashes
patterns, if the PASS regex is improved, like in ...
... this and the other "stepi" tests are a bit too lax, passing on
".*". This tightens those up to expect "x/i" and the "=>" current PC
indicator, like in:
1: x/i $pc
=> 0x3b36abc9e2 <vfork+34>: syscall
On x86_64 Fedora 20, I now get a quick KFAIL instead of timeouts with
both the native-extended-gdbserver and native-gdbserver boards:
PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: delete break vfork
PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: continue to syscall insn vfork
PASS: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: set displaced-stepping on
KFAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: vfork: single step over vfork (PRMS: server/13796)
and a full pass with native testing.

Hi,
This patch is to support catch syscall on aarch64 linux. We
implement gdbarch method get_syscall_number for aarch64-linux,
and add aarch64-linux.xml file, which looks straightforward, however
the changes to test case doesn't.
First of all, we enable catch-syscall.exp on aarch64-linux target,
but skip the multi_arch testing on current stage. I plan to touch
multi arch debugging on aarch64-linux later.
Then, when I run catch-syscall.exp on aarch64-linux, gcc errors that
SYS_pipe isn't defined. We find that aarch64 kernel only has pipe2
syscall and libc already convert pipe to pipe2. As a result, I change
catch-syscall.c to use SYS_pipe if it is defined, otherwise use
SYS_pipe2 instead. The vector all_syscalls in catch-syscall.exp can't
be pre-determined, so I add a new proc setup_all_syscalls to fill it,
according to the availability of SYS_pipe.
Regression tested on {x86_64, aarch64}-linux x {native, gdbserver}.

Trying to fix a permanent breakpoints bug, I broke "next" over a
regular breakpoint. "next" would immediately hit the breakpoint the
program was already stopped at. But, the "next over setup" test
failed to notice this and still issued a pass. That's because the
regex matches "testsuite" in:
Breakpoint 2 at 0x400687: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/bp-permanent.c, line 46.

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp: Tighten "next over setup" regex.
On some targets each of the assignments "i = 0" in the C source for
"breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp" are compiled to a single instruction.
Then each "si" stops at the beginning of the next source line. But on
some other targets (like s390) such an assignment compiles to multiple
instructions. Then "si" may stop in mid-line, and GDB displays the PC
address in addition to the source line number. This was not considered
by the regexp for this case.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp (test_single_step): In the
regexps for GDB's current line display, accept a hex address

variable to a valid string.

In some scenarios, GDB or GDBserver can be spawned with input _not_
connected to a tty, and then tests that rely on stdio fail with
timeouts, because the inferior's stdout and stderr streams end up
fully buffered.
See discussion here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00809.html
We have a hack in place that works around this for Windows testing,
that forces every test program to link with an .o file that does
(lib/set_unbuffered_mode.c):
static int __gdb_set_unbuffered_output (void) __attribute__ ((constructor));
static int
__gdb_set_unbuffered_output (void)
{
setvbuf (stdout, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);
setvbuf (stderr, NULL, _IONBF, BUFSIZ);
}
That's a bit hacky; it ends up done for _all_ tests.
This patch adds a way to do this unbuffering explicitly from the test
code itself, so it is done only when necessary, and for all
targets/hosts. For starters, it adjusts gdb.base/interrupt.c to use
it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and against a remote gdbserver
board file that connects to the target with ssh, with and without -t

When gdb creates a dummy frame to execute a function in the inferior,
the process may generate a SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL because the stack
is non executable. If the signal handler set in gdb has option print
or stop enabled for these signals gdb handles this correctly.
However, in the case of noprint and nostop the signal is short-circuited
and the inferior process is sent the signal directly. This causes the
inferior to crash because of gdb.
This patch adds a check for SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL so that these
signals are sent to gdb rather than short-circuited in the inferior.
gdb then handles them properly and the inferior process does not
crash.
This patch also fixes the same behavior in gdbserver.
Also added a small testcase to test the issue called catch-gdb-caused-signals.

This patch moves the `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' functions
from stap-probe.c to probe.c. The rationale is that it is reasonable to
assume that all backends will provide the `$_probe_argN' convenience
variables, and that the user must be placed on the PC of the probe when
requesting that information. The value and type of the argument can still be
determined by the probe backend via the `pops->evaluate_probe_argument' and
`pops->compile_to_ax' handlers.
Note that a test in gdb.base/stap-probe.exp had to be adjusted because the "No
SystemTap probe at PC" messages are now "No probe at PC".

Thinking that this might be a problem of SIGTERM reaching GDB, but
then the event loop taking too long to handle it, I hacked GDB to
print a debug log whenever the SIGTERM handler was called, and,
whenever the event loop finally calls the async SIGTERM handler.
Here's what I see:

Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target
and then try again.
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: expect eof #27
FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: SIGTERM stepped 228 times
So, no delay on the GDB side. It just happens that occasionally it
takes more than 200 single-steps before SIGTERM even reaches GDB.
This just looks like a kernel/scheduling issue --- some extra usage
spike in the system (e.g., an I/O spike) might cause it for me. For
the build slaves, I'm guessing they're frequently busy enough to trip
on this often. Particularly more so now that we're having them run
tests in parallel mode.
The fix is to detect failure by timeout instead of counting single
steps. This should be more reliable. Indeed for me, after this
commit, I couldn't trigger a FAIL anymore, even after letting the test
run for an hour.
By timeout is also nicer in that a board file for a slow host/target
can increase it (like, e.g., an embedded GNU/Linux board).

This commit modifies the test program gdb.base/info-os.c so that
it cleans up all allocated System V IPC objects when a fatal
error occurs. Without this, it was possible for the program
to leave IPC objects on the system, and such objects persist
until they are manually deleted or the system reboots.
I looked at changing the SysV IPC key for allocating the IPC objects to
IPC_PRIVATE. That would prevent errors due to namespace conflicts with the
key. However, the test needs to read the actual key number from the 'info
os' command output, and IPC_PRIVATE won't work for that.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful. A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour. A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.

gdb_interact is a small utility that we have found quite useful to debug
test cases.
Putting gdb_interact in a test suspends it and allows to interact with
gdb to inspect whatever you want. You can then type ">>>" to resume the
test execution. Of course, this is only for gdb devs. It wouldn't make
sense to leave a gdb_interact permanently in a test case.
When starting the interaction with the user, the script prints this
banner:
+------------------------------------------+
| Script interrupted, you can now interact |
| with by gdb. Type >>> to continue. |
+------------------------------------------+
Notes:
* When gdb is launched, the gdb_spawn_id variable (lib/gdb.exp) is
assigned -1. Given the name, I would expect it to contain the gdb
expect spawn id, which is needed for interact. I changed all places
that set gdb_spawn_id to -1 to set it to the actual gdb spawn id
instead.
* When entering the "interact" mode, the last (gdb) prompt is already
eaten by expect, so it doesn't show up on the terminal. Subsequent
prompts do appear though. We tried to print "(gdb)" just before the
interact to replace it. However, it could be misleading if you are
debugging an MI test case, it makes you think that you are typing in a
CLI prompt, when in reality it's MI. In the end I decided that since
the feature is for developers who know what they're doing and that one
is normally consciously using gdb_interact, the script doesn't need
to babysit the user.
* There are probably some quirks depending on where in the script
gdb_interact appears (e.g. it could interfere with following
commands and make them fail), but it works for most cases. Quirks can
always be fixed later.
The idea and original implementation was contributed by Anders
Granlund, a colleague of mine. Thanks to him.

This patch updates two attach tests to use utility procs for checking if
the attach test should run and for launching the program to be attached, as
follows:
1) Use can_spawn_for_attach instead of is_remote target
2) Use spawn_wait_for_attach instead of exec/sleep
Tested (1) with i686-mingw32 host and i686-pc-linux-gnu build/target and
both with x86_64 Ubuntu.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp: Use can_spawn_for_attach
instead of checking whether the target board is remote and

* gdb.base/attach-twice.exp: Likewise.
Executing a gdb script that runs the inferior (from the command line
with -x), and has it hit breakpoints with breakpoint commands that
themselves run the target, is currently broken on async targets
(Linux, remote).
While we're executing a command list or a script, we force the
interpreter to be sync, which results in some functions nesting an
event loop and waiting for the target to stop, instead of returning
immediately and having the top level event loop handle the stop.
The issue with this bug is simply that bpstat_do_actions misses
checking whether the interpreter is sync. When we get here, in the
case of executing a script (or, when the interpreter is sync), the
program has already advanced to the next breakpoint, through
maybe_wait_sync_command_done. We need to process its breakpoints
immediately, just like with a sync target.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Commit d3d4baed (PR python/17372 - Python hangs when displaying
help()) had the side effect of causing 'gdb -batch' to leave the
terminal in the wrong state if the program was run. E.g,.
$ echo 'main(){*(int*)0=0;}' | gcc -x c -; ./gdb/gdb -batch -ex r ./a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004004ff in main ()
$
If you start typing the next command, seemingly nothing happens - GDB
left the terminal with echo disabled.
The issue is that that "r" ends up in fetch_inferior_event, which
calls reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup, which causes
readline to prep the terminal (raw, echo disabled). But "-batch"
causes GDB to exit before the top level event loop is first started,
and then nothing de-preps the terminal.
The reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup function's intro
comment mentions:
"Need to do this as we go back to the event loop, ready to process
further input."
but the implementation forgets the case of when the interpreter is
sync, which indicates we won't return to the event loop yet, or as in
the case of -batch, we have not started it yet.
The fix is to not install the readline callback in that case.
For the test, in this case, checking that command echo still works is
sufficient. Comparing stty output before/after running GDB is even
better. Because stty may not be available, the test tries both ways.
In any case, since expect's spawn (what we use to start gdb) creates a
new pseudo tty, another expect spawn or tcl exec after GDB exits would
not see the wrong terminal settings. So instead, the test spawns a
shell and runs stty and GDB in it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch fixes the watch_thread_num.exp test to work when the target
is better at making event handling be fair among threads.
I wrote patches that make GDB native and GDBserver event handling
fairer between threads. That is, if threads A and B both
simultaneously trigger some debug event, GDB will pick either A or B
at random, rather than always handling the event of A first. There's
code for that in the Linux backends (gdb and gdbserver) already, but
it can be improved, and only works in all-stop mode.
With those fixes in place, I found that the watch_thread_num.exp would
often time out. The problem is that the test only works _because_
event handling isn't as fair as intended. With the fairness fixes,
the test falls victim of PR10116 (gdb drops watchpoints on
multi-threaded apps) quite often.
To expand on the PR10116 reference, consider that stop events are
serialized to GDB core, through target_wait. Say a thread-specific
watchpoint as set on thread A. When the "right" thread and some other
"wrong" thread both trigger a watchpoint simultaneously, the target
may report the "wrong" thread's hit to GDB first (thread B). When
handling that event, GDB notices the watchpoint is for another thread,
and so shouldn't cause a user-visible stop. On resume, GDB saves the
now current value of the watched expression. Afterwards, the "right"
thread (thread A) reports its watchpoint trigger. But the watched
value hasn't changed since GDB last saved it, and so GDB doesn't
report the watchpoint hit to the user.
The way the test is written, the watchpoint is associated with the
first thread that happens to report an event. It happens that GDB is
processing events much more often for one of the threads, which
usually will be that same first thread.
Hacking the test with "set debug infrun 1", we see exactly that:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
70 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798],
37 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8802],
36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8804],
36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8803],
35 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8805],
34 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8806],
The first column shows the number of times the target reported an
event for that thread, from:
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
This masks out the PR10116 issue.
However, if the target is better at giving equal priority to all
threads, the PR10116 issue happens often, so it may take quite a while
for the right thread to be the first to report its watchpoint event
just after the memory being watched really changed, resulting in test
time outs.
Here's the number of events handled for each thread on a gdbserver run
with the event fairness patches:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," gdb.log | sort | uniq -c
2961 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13591],
2956 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13595],
2941 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13596],
2932 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13597],
2905 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13598],
2891 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13599],
Note how the number of events is much higher. The test routinely
takes over 10 seconds to finish on my machine rather than under a
second as with unpatched gdbserver, when it succeeds, but often it'll
fail with timeouts too.
So to make the test robust, this patch switches the tests to using
"awatch" instead of "watch", as access watchpoints don't care about
the watchpoint's "old value". With this, the test always finishes
quickly, and we can even bump the number of threads concurrently
writting to the shared variable, to have better assurance we're really
testing the case of the "wrong" thread triggering a watchpoint.
Here's the number of events I see for each thread on a run on my
machine, with a gdbserver patched with the event fairness series:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c

This patch is the V2. V1 can be found in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00938.html
V2 is to address Joel's comment
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-06/msg00289.html> about
keeping dumping floating point registers. Additionally, command
'info float' prints bits on nan2008 and abs2008.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The change below provides a MIPS-specific handler for the:
(gdb) info float
command. It provides information about the FPU type available (if any),
the FPU register width, and decodes the CP1 Floating Point Control and
Status Register (FCSR):
(gdb) print /x $fsr
$1 = 0xff83ffff
(gdb) info float
fpu type: double-precision
reg size: 32 bits
cond : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
cause : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval unimp
mask : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
flags : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
rounding: -inf
flush : zero
One point to note about CP1.FCSR are the non-standard Flush-to-Nearest
and Flush-Override bits. They are not a part of the MIPS architecture and
take two positions reserved for an implementation-dependent use in the
architecture. They are present in all the FPU implementations made by
MIPS Technologies since the spin-off from SGI.
I haven't been able to track down a single other MIPS FPU implementation
that would make any use of these bits and they are required to be
hardwired to zero by the architecture specification if unimplemented.
Therefore I think it makes sense to report them in the current way.
GDB has no guaranteed access to the CP0 Processor Identification (PRId)
register to validate this feature properly and the ID information stored
in the CP1 Floating Point Implementation Register (FIR) is from my
experience not reliable enough (there's no Company ID available there for
once unlike in CP0.PRId and Processor ID is not guaranteed to be unique).
As a side note we should probably dump CP1.FIR information as well, as
there's useful stuff indicating some FPU features there. That's material
for another change however.

the completion of "info registers ". For determining the available
registers involve the new "maint print user-registers" command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* completer.c: Include "target.h", "reggroups.h", and
"user-regs.h".
(reg_or_group_completer): New.
* completer.h (reg_or_group_completer): Declare.
* infcmd.c (_initialize_infcmd): Set reg_or_group_completer for
the "info registers" and "info all-registers" commands and the
dbx-mode "lr" command.

1. Background information
The MIPS architecture, as originally designed and implemented in
mid-1980s has a uniform instruction word size that is 4 bytes, naturally
aligned. As such all MIPS instructions are located at addresses that
have their bits #1 and #0 set to zeroes, and any attempt to execute an
instruction from an address that has any of the two bits set to one
causes an address error exception. This may for example happen when a
jump-register instruction is executed whose register value used as the
jump target has any of these bits set.
Then in mid 1990s LSI sought a way to improve code density for their
TinyRISC family of MIPS cores and invented an alternatively encoded
instruction set in a joint effort with MIPS Technologies (then a
subsidiary of SGI). The new instruction set has been named the MIPS16
ASE (Application-Specific Extension) and uses a variable instruction
word size, which is 2 bytes (as the name of the ASE suggests) for most,
but there are a couple of exceptions that take 4 bytes, and then most of
the 2-byte instructions can be treated with a 2-byte extension prefix to
expand the range of the immediate operands used.
As a result instructions are no longer 4-byte aligned, instead they are
aligned to a multiple of 2. That left the bit #0 still unused for code
references, be it for the standard MIPS (i.e. as originally invented) or
for the MIPS16 instruction set, and based on that observation a clever
trick was invented that on one hand allowed the processor to be
seamlessly switched between the two instruction sets at any time at the
run time while on the other avoided the introduction of any special
control register to do that.
So it is the bit #0 of the instruction address that was chosen as the
selector and named the ISA bit. Any instruction executed at an even
address is interpreted as a standard MIPS instruction (the address still
has to have its bit #1 clear), any instruction executed at an odd
address is interpreted as a MIPS16 instruction.
To switch between modes ordinary jump instructions are used, such as
used for function calls and returns, specifically the bit #0 of the
source register used in jump-register instructions selects the execution
(ISA) mode for the following piece of code to be interpreted in.
Additionally new jump-immediate instructions were added that flipped the
ISA bit to select the opposite mode upon execution. They were
considered necessary to avoid the need to make register jumps in all
cases as the original jump-immediate instructions provided no way to
change the bit #0 at all.
This was all important for cases where standard MIPS and MIPS16 code had
to be mixed, either for compatibility with the existing binary code base
or to access resources not reachable from MIPS16 code (the MIPS16
instruction set only provides access to general-purpose registers, and
not for example floating-point unit registers or privileged coprocessor
0 registers) -- pieces of code in the opposite mode can be executed as
ordinary subroutine calls.
A similar approach has been more recently adopted for the MIPS16
replacement instruction set defined as the so called microMIPS ASE.
This is another instruction set encoding introduced to the MIPS
architecture. Just like the MIPS16 ASE, the microMIPS instruction set
uses a variable-length encoding, where each instruction takes a multiple
of 2 bytes. The ISA bit has been reused and for microMIPS-capable
processors selects between the standard MIPS and the microMIPS mode
instead.
2. Statement of the problem
To put it shortly, MIPS16 and microMIPS code pointers used by GDB are
different to these observed at the run time. This results in the same
expressions being evaluated producing different results in GDB and in
the program being debugged. Obviously it's the results obtained at the
run time that are correct (they define how the program behaves) and
therefore by definition the results obtained in GDB are incorrect.
A bit longer description will record that obviously at the run time the
ISA bit has to be set correctly (refer to background information above
if unsure why so) or the program will not run as expected. This is
recorded in all the executable file structures used at the run time: the
dynamic symbol table (but not always the static one!), the GOT, and
obviously in all the addresses embedded in code or data of the program
itself, calculated by applying the appropriate relocations at the static
link time.
While a program is being processed by GDB, the ISA bit is stripped off
from any code addresses, presumably to make them the same as the
respective raw memory byte address used by the processor to access the
instruction in the instruction fetch access cycle. This stripping is
actually performed outside GDB proper, in BFD, specifically
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing (elfxx-mips.c, see the piece of code at
the very bottom of that function, starting with an: "If this is an
odd-valued function symbol, assume it's a MIPS16 or microMIPS one."
comment).
This function is also responsible for symbol table dumps made by
`objdump' too, so you'll never see the ISA bit reported there by that
tool, you need to use `readelf'.
This is however unlike what is ever done at the run time, the ISA bit
once present is never stripped off, for example a cast like this:
(short *) main
will not strip the ISA bit off and if the resulting pointer is intended
to be used to access instructions as data, for example for software
instruction decoding (like for fault recovery or emulation in a signal
handler) or for self-modifying code then the bit still has to be
stripped off by an explicit AND operation.
This is probably best illustrated with a simple real program example.
Let's consider the following simple program:
$ cat foobar.c
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) foo (void)
{
return 1;
}
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) bar (void)
{
return 2;
}
int __attribute__ ((nomips16)) foo32 (void)
{
return 3;
}
int (*foo32p) (void) = foo32;
int (*foop) (void) = foo;
int fooi = (int) foo;
int
main (void)
{
return foop ();
}
$
This is plain C with no odd tricks, except from the instruction mode
attributes. They are not necessary to trigger this problem, I just put
them here so that the program can be contained in a single source file
and to make it obvious which function is MIPS16 code and which is not.
Let's try it with Linux, so that everyone can repeat this experiment:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -g -O2 -o foobar foobar.c
$
Let's have a look at some interesting symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55: 00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
66: 0040068c 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 bar
68: 00410848 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
70: 00410844 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
78: 00400684 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
80: 00400680 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 foo
88: 00410840 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
Hmm, no sight of the ISA bit, but notice how foo and bar (but not
foo32!) have been marked as MIPS16 functions (ELF symbol structure's
`st_other' field is used for that).
So let's try to run and poke at this program with GDB. I'll be using a
native system for simplicity (I'll be using ellipses here and there to
remove unrelated clutter):
$ ./foobar
$ echo $?
1
$
So far, so good.
$ gdb ./foobar
[...]
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400490: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb)
Yay, it worked! OK, so let's poke at it:
(gdb) print main
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400490 <main>
(gdb) print foo32
$2 = {int (void)} 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print foo32p
$3 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print bar
$4 = {int (void)} 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb) print foo
$5 = {int (void)} 0x400680 <foo>
(gdb) print foop
$6 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb)
A-ha! Here's the difference and finally the ISA bit!
(gdb) print /x fooi
$7 = 0x400681
(gdb) p/x $pc
p/x $pc
$8 = 0x400491
(gdb)
And here as well...
(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) disassemble

0x00400680 <+0>: jr ra
0x00400682 <+2>: li v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo () at foobar.c:4
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $9 = 1
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14103) exited with code 01]
(gdb)
So let's be a bit inquisitive...
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb)
Actually we do not like to run foo here at all. Let's run bar instead!
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) print foop
$10 = (int (*)(void)) 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb)
Hmm, no ISA bit. Is it going to work?
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) p/x $pc
$11 = 0x40068c
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:

0x0040068e <+2>: li v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 bar () at foobar.c:9
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb)
Oops!
(gdb) p/x $pc
$12 = 0x40068c
(gdb)
We're still there!
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
So let's try something else:
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo
(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:

0x00400682 <+2>: li v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo () at foobar.c:4
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
The same problem!
(gdb) run
Starting program:
/net/build2-lucid-cs/scratch/macro/mips-linux-fsf-gcc/isa-bit/foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo32
(gdb) advance foo32
foo32 () at foobar.c:14
14 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo32:

End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 foo32 () at foobar.c:14
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $14 = 3
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14113) exited with code 03]
(gdb)
That did work though, so it's the ISA bit only!
(gdb) quit
Enough!
That's the tip of the iceberg only though. So let's rebuild the
executable with some dynamic symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -Wl,--export-dynamic -g -O2 -o foobar-dyn foobar.c
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar-dyn | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 32 entries:
6: 004009cd 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 bar
8: 00410b88 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
9: 00410b84 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
15: 004009c4 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
17: 004009c1 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo
25: 00410b80 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55: 00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
69: 004009cd 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 bar
71: 00410b88 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
72: 00410b84 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
79: 004009c4 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
81: 004009c1 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo
89: 00410b80 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
OK, now the ISA bit is there for a change, but the MIPS16 `st_other'
attribute gone, hmm... What does `objdump' do then:
$ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -Tt foobar-dyn | egrep 'SYMBOL|foo|bar'
foobar-dyn: file format elf32-tradbigmips
SYMBOL TABLE:
00000000 l df *ABS* 00000000 foobar.c

00410b80 g DO .data 00000004 Base fooi
$
Hmm, the attribute (0xf0, printed raw) is back, and the ISA bit gone
again.

off a lot here for brevity) -- debug info:

-- see that "Advance PC by constant 17" there? It clears the ISA bit,
however code at 0x19646 is not standard MIPS code at all. For some
reason the constant is always 17, I've never seen DW_LNS_const_add_pc
used with any other value -- is that a binutils bug or what?
3. Solution:
I think we should retain the value of the ISA bit in code references,
that is effectively treat them as cookies as they indeed are (although
trivially calculated) rather than raw memory byte addresses.
In a perfect world both the static symbol table and the respective
DWARF-2 records should be fixed to include the ISA bit in all the cases.
I think however that this is infeasible.
All the uses of `_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing' can not necessarily be
tracked down. This function is used by `elf_slurp_symbol_table' that in
turn is used by `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' and
`bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab', which are public interfaces.
Similarly DWARF-2 records are used outside GDB, one notable if a bit
questionable is the exception unwinder (libgcc/unwind-dw2.c) -- I have
identified at least bits in `execute_cfa_program' and
`uw_frame_state_for', both around the calls to `_Unwind_IsSignalFrame',
that would need an update as they effectively flip the ISA bit freely;
see also the comment about MASK_RETURN_ADDR in gcc/config/mips/mips.h.
But there may be more places. Any change in how DWARF-2 records are
produced would require an update there and would cause compatibility
problems with libgcc.a binaries already distributed; given that this is
a static library a complex change involving function renames would
likely be required.
I propose therefore to accept the existing inconsistencies and deal with
them entirely within GDB. I have figured out that the ISA bit lost in
various places can still be recovered as long as we have symbol
information -- that'll have the `st_other' attribute correctly set to
one of standard MIPS/MIPS16/microMIPS encoding.
Here's the resulting change. It adds a couple of new `gdbarch' hooks,
one to update symbol information with the ISA bit lost in
`_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing', and two other ones to adjust DWARF-2
records as they're processed. The ISA bit is set in each address
handled according to information retrieved from the symbol table for the
symbol spanning the address if any; limits are adjusted based on the
address they point to related to the respective base address.
Additionally minimal symbol information has to be adjusted accordingly
in its gdbarch hook.
With these changes in place some complications with ISA bit juggling in
the PC that never fully worked can be removed from the MIPS backend.
Conversely, the generic dynamic linker event special breakpoint symbol
handler has to be updated to call the minimal symbol gdbarch hook to
record that the symbol is a MIPS16 or microMIPS address if applicable or
the breakpoint will be set at the wrong address and either fail to work
or cause SIGTRAPs (this is because the symbol is handled early on and
bypasses regular symbol processing).
4. Results obtained
The change fixes the example above -- to repeat only the crucial steps:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) print foo
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068d <+0>: jr ra
0x0040068f <+2>: li v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 bar () at foobar.c:9
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $2 = 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14128) exited with code 02]
(gdb)
-- excellent!
The change removes about 90 failures per MIPS16 multilib in mips-sde-elf
testing too, results for MIPS16 are now similar to that for standard
MIPS; microMIPS results are a bit worse because of host-I/O problems in
QEMU used instead of MIPSsim for microMIPS testing only:

On Linux native, if dprintfs are inserted when detaching, they are left
in the inferior which causes it to crash from a SIGTRAP. It also happens
with dprintfs on remote targets, when set disconnected-dprintf is off.
The rationale of the line modified by the patch was to leave dprintfs
inserted in order to support disconnected dprintfs. However, not all
dprintfs are persistent. Also, there's no reason other kinds of
breakpoints can't be persistent either. So this replaces the bp_dprintf
check with a check on whether the location is persistent.
bl->target_info.persist will be 1 only if disconnected-dprintf is on and
we are debugging a remote target. On native, it will always be 0,
regardless of the value of disconnected-dprintf. This makes sense, since
disconnected dprintfs are not supported by the native target.
One issue about the test is that it does not pass when using
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver, partly due to bug 17302 [1].
One quick hack I tried for this was to add a useless "next" between the
call to getpid() and detach, which avoids the bug. There is still one
case where the test fails, and that is with:
- breakpoint always-inserted on
- dprintf-style agent
- disconnected-dprintf on
What happens is that my detach does not actually detach the process,
because some persistent commands (the disconnected dprintf) is present.
However since gdbserver is ran with --once, when gdb disconnects,
gdbserver goes down and takes with it all the processes it spawned and
that are still under its control (which includes my test process).
When the test checks if the test process is still alive, it obvisouly
fails. Investigating about that led me to ask a question on the ML [2]
about the behavior of detach.
Until the remote case is sorted out, the problematic test is marked as
KFAIL.

The test case builds two copies of the program, one with the compile
option "ldflags=-Wl,-Ttext=0x1000000" and the other with the address
changed to 0x2000000. However, when linking with ld.bfd, the
resulting executables crash early in ld.so on S390 and i386.
Analysis of the crash: The default linker script establishes a certain
order of loadable sections, and the option "-Ttext" effectively splits
these into an "unaffected" lot (everything before .text) and an
"affected" lot. The affected lot is placed at the given address,
whereas the unaffected lot stays at its default address. The
unaffected lot starts at an aligned address plus Elf header sizes,
which is good if it is the first LOAD segment (like on AMD64). But if
the affected lot comes first instead (like on S390 and i386), the PHDR
doesn't fit there and is placed *outside* any LOAD segments. Then the
PHDR is not mapped when the loader gets control, and the loader runs
into a segmentation fault while trying to access it.
Since we are lucky about the order of segments on AMD64, the test
succeeds there, but the resulting binaries are unusually large -- 2.1M
each, with lots of padding within.
When replacing '-Ttext' by '-Ttext-segment', the linker moves all
segments consistently, the binaries have normal sizes, and the test
case succeeds on all mentioned platforms.
Since old versions of the gold linker don't support '-Ttext-segment',
the patch also adds logic for falling back to '-Ttext'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp: Specify the link address
with '-Ttext-segment' instead of '-Ttext'. Fall back to '-Ttext'
if the linker doesn't understand this.
We enable systemtap probe in glibc recently, and see the following gdb fail,

$binfile_lib is /foo/bar/gdb.base/break-probes-solib.so, but the
sysroot is prefixed in solib.c:solib_find, as comments described:
Global variable GDB_SYSROOT is used as a prefix directory
to search for shared libraries if they have an absolute path.
so the output becomes "/./foo/bar/gdb.base/break-probes-solib.so", which
is still correct. However, the test repeatedly continue the program
and tries to match $binfile_lib, finally, the program exits and the
test fails.
This patch is to adjust the pattern to match $sysroot$binfile_lib
instead of $binfile_lib.

* gdb.base/break-probes.exp: Match library name prefixed with

This patch intends to partially fix PR breakpoints/10737, which is
about making the syscall information (for the "catch syscall" command)
be per-arch, instead of global. This is not a full fix because of the
other issues pointed by Pedro here:
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10737#c5>
However, I consider it a good step towards the real fix. It will also
help me fix <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17402>.
What this patch does, basically, is move the "syscalls_info"
struct to gdbarch. Currently, the syscall information is stored in a
global variable inside gdb/xml-syscall.c, which means that there is no
easy way to correlate this info with the current target or
architecture being used, for example. This causes strange behaviors,
because the syscall info is not re-read when the arch changes. For
example, if you put a syscall catchpoint in syscall 5 on i386 (syscall
open), and then load a x86_64 program on GDB and put the same syscall
5 there (fstat on x86_64), you will still see that GDB tells you that
it is catching "open", even though it is not. With this patch, GDB
correctly says that it will be catching fstat syscalls.
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'open' [5])
But with the patch:
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'fstat' [5])
As I said, there are still some problems on the "catch syscall"
mechanism, because (for example) the user should be able to "catch
syscall open" on i386, and then expect "open" to be caught also on
x86_64. Currently, it doesn't work. I intend to work on this later.

Currently "symtabs" in gdb are stored as a single linked list of
struct symtab that contains both symbol symtabs (the blockvectors)
and file symtabs (the linetables).
This has led to confusion, bugs, and performance issues.
This patch is conceptually very simple: split struct symtab into
two pieces: one part containing things common across the entire
compilation unit, and one part containing things specific to each
source file.
Example.
For the case of a program built out of these files:
foo.c
foo1.h
foo2.h
bar.c
foo1.h
bar.h
Today we have a single list of struct symtabs:
objfile -> foo.c -> foo1.h -> foo2.h -> bar.c -> foo1.h -> bar.h -> NULL
where "->" means the "next" pointer in struct symtab.
With this patch, that turns into:
objfile -> foo.c(cu) -> bar.c(cu) -> NULL
| |
v v
foo.c bar.c
| |
v v
foo1.h foo1.h
| |
v v
foo2.h bar.h
| |
v v
NULL NULL
where "foo.c(cu)" and "bar.c(cu)" are struct compunit_symtab objects,
and the files foo.c, etc. are struct symtab objects.
So now, for example, when we want to iterate over all blockvectors
we can now just iterate over the compunit_symtab list.
Plus a lot of the data that was either unused or replicated for each
symtab in a compilation unit now lives in struct compunit_symtab.
E.g., the objfile pointer, the producer string, etc.
I thought of moving "language" out of struct symtab but there is
logic to try to compute the language based on previously seen files,
and I think that's best left as is for now.
With my standard monster benchmark with -readnow (which I can't actually
do, but based on my calculations), whereas today the list requires
77MB to store all the struct symtabs, it now only requires 37MB.
A modest space savings given the gigabytes needed for all the debug info,
etc. Still, it's nice. Plus, whereas today we create a copy of dirname
for each source file symtab in a compilation unit, we now only create one
for the compunit.
So this patch is basically just a data structure reorg,
I don't expect significant performance improvements from it.
Notes:
1) A followup patch can do a similar split for struct partial_symtab.
I have left that until after I get the changes I want in to
better utilize .gdb_index (it may affect how we do partial syms).
2) Another followup patch *could* rename struct symtab.
The term "symtab" is ambiguous and has been a source of confusion.
In this patch I'm leaving it alone, calling it the "historical" name
of "filetabs", which is what they are now: just the file-name + line-table.

The bp-permanent test case assumes that a NOP is exactly as long as a
software breakpoint. This is not the case for the S390 "nop"
instruction, which is 4 bytes long, while a software breakpoint is
just 2 bytes long. The "nopr" instruction has the right size and can
be used instead.

after SIGTRAP on the permanent breakpoint:

Basically the problem is that "symtab" is ambiguous.
Is it the primary symtab (where we canonically think of
blockvectors as being stored) or is it for a specific file
(where each file's line table is stored) ?
gdb_disassembly wants the symtab that contains the line table
but is instead getting the primary symtab.

numbering can not be eliminated so easily, and it may not even be a
useful goal for a "list" test case. Another option might be to adjust

The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is currently failing an
assertion recently added:
(gdb) stepi
../../src/gdb/infrun.c:2237: internal-error: resume: Assertion `sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: Single stepping past permanent breakpoint. (GDB internal error)
The assertion expects that the only reason we currently need to step a
breakpoint instruction is when we have a signal to deliver. But when
stepping a permanent breakpoint (with or without a signal) we also
reach this code.
The assertion is correct and the permanent breakpoints skipping code
is wrong.
Consider the case of the user doing "step/stepi" when stopped at a
permanent breakpoint. GDB's `resume' calls the
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint hook and then happily continues
stepping:
/* Normally, by the time we reach `resume', the breakpoints are either
removed or inserted, as appropriate. The exception is if we're sitting
at a permanent breakpoint; we need to step over it, but permanent
breakpoints can't be removed. So we have to test for it here. */
if (breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == permanent_breakpoint_here)
{
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
}
But since gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint already advanced the PC
manually, this ends up executing the instruction that is _after_ the
breakpoint instruction. The user-visible result is that a single-step
steps two instructions.
The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is actually ensuring that
that's indeed how things work. It runs to an int3 instruction, does
"stepi", and checks that "leave" was executed with that "stepi". Like
this:
(gdb) b *0x0804848c
Breakpoint 2 at 0x804848c
(gdb) c
Continuing.

End of assembler dump.
(gdb)
One would instead expect that a stepi at 0x0804848c stops at
0x0804848d, _before_ the "leave" is executed. This commit changes GDB
this way. Care is taken to make stepping into a signal handler when
the step starts at a permanent breakpoint instruction work correctly.
The patch adjusts gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp in this direction,
and also makes it work on x86_64 (currently it only works on i*86).
The patch also adds a new gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp test that
exercises many different code paths related to stepping permanent
breakpoints, including the stepping with signals cases. The test uses
"hack/trick" to make it work on all (or most) platforms -- it doesn't
really hard code a breakpoint instruction.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

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

Now the search is consistent, searching each objfile completely
before proceeding to the next one.

Several GDB tests change directory before compiling the test program
in order to test source file names that include directories. This
doesn't work on a remote host because default_target_compile in
DejaGnu's target.exp copies each source file with
"[remote_download host $x]" which uses "[file tail $file] to strip
off the directory of each file. If the source directory is remote
mounted on the host, this also leaves copied files in the source
directory.
A similar skip is already used in gdb.test/fullname.exp:
# We rely on being able to copy things around.
if { [is_remote host] } {
untested "setting breakpoints by full path"
return -1
}
This patch causes three GDB tests that use "cd" to be skipped for a
remote host. For gdb.base/fullpath-expand.exp this eliminates two
failures and prevents the test from leaving files fullpath-expand.c
and fullpath-expand-func.c in gdb/testsuite. For
gdb.base/realname-expand.exp it eliminates two failures. For

PR17372 is a regression in 7.8 caused by the fix for PR17072:

Date: Mon Jul 14 19:55:32 2014 +0100
Background execution + pagination aborts readline/gdb
gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
processed. Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
reinstalls the handler. But if the output is coming out of handling
a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
handler. So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
readline, which aborts.

PR gdb/17072
* top.c (gdb_readline_wrapper_line): Tweak comment.
(gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup): If readline is enabled, reinstall
the input handler callback.
The problem is that installing the input handler callback also preps
the terminal, putting it in raw mode and with echo disabled, which is
bad if we're going to call a command that assumes cooked/canonical
mode, and echo enabled, like in the case of the PR, Python's
interactive shell. Another example I came up with that doesn't depend
on Python is starting a subshell with "(gdb) shell /bin/sh" from a
multi-line command. Tests covering both these examples are added.
The fix is to revert the original fix for PR gdb/17072, and instead
restore the callback handler after processing an asynchronous target
event.
Furthermore, calling rl_callback_handler_install when we already have
some input in readline's line buffer discards that input, which is
obviously a bad thing to do while the user is typing. No specific
test is added for that, because I first tried calling it even if the
callback handler was still installed and that resulted in hundreds of
failures in the testsuite.

In gdb.base/fileio.c, some functions may depend on others. For
example, test_rename renames a file to one directory which is created
in test_system. That is means, if test_system fails, test_rename
fails too, which is not a good practise, IMO.
In test_system, system ("mkdir -p XX") is used to create directories
needed for test_rename. In this patch, we use dejagnu remote_exec
proc to create these directories on host.

In non-stop mode, when a breakpoint is removed, it is moved to the
"moribund locations" list. This is because other threads that are
running may have tripped on that breakpoint as well, and we haven't
heard about it. When a trap is reported, we check if perhaps it was
such a deleted breakpoint that caused the trap. If so, we also need
to adjust the PC (decr_pc_after_break).
Now, say that, on x86:
- a breakpoint was placed at an address where we have an instruction
of the same length as decr_pc_after_break on this arch (1 on x86).
- the breakpoint is removed, and thus put on the moribund locations
list.
- the thread is single-stepped.
As there's no breakpoint inserted at PC anymore, the single-step
actually executes the 1-byte instruction normally. GDB should _not_
adjust the PC for the resulting SIGTRAP. But, adjust_pc_after_break
confuses the step SIGTRAP reported for this single-step as being a
SIGTRAP for the moribund location of the breakpoint that used to be at
the previous PC, and so infrun applies the decr_pc_after_break
adjustment incorrectly.
The confusion comes from the special case mentioned in the comment:
static void
adjust_pc_after_break (struct execution_control_state *ecs)
{
...
As a special case, we could have hardware single-stepped a
software breakpoint. In this case (prev_pc == breakpoint_pc),
we also need to back up to the breakpoint address. */
if (thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (ecs->event_thread)
|| !ptid_equal (ecs->ptid, inferior_ptid)
|| !currently_stepping (ecs->event_thread)
|| (ecs->event_thread->stepped_breakpoint
&& ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc))
regcache_write_pc (regcache, breakpoint_pc);
The condition that incorrectly triggers is the
"ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc" one.
Afterwards, the next resume resume re-executes an instruction that had
already executed, which if you're lucky, results in the inferior
crashing. If you're unlucky, you'll get silent bad behavior...
The fix is to remember that we stepped a breakpoint. Turns out the
only case we step a breakpoint instruction today isn't covered by the
testsuite. It's the case of a 'handle nostop" signal arriving while a
step is in progress _and_ we have a software watchpoint, which forces
always single-stepping. This commit extends sigstep.exp to cover
that, and adds a new test for the adjust_pc_after_break issue.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

I noticed that when I single-step into a signal handler with a
pending/queued signal, the following single-steps while the program is
in the signal handler leave $eflags.TF set. That means subsequent
continues will trap after one instruction, resulting in a spurious
SIGTRAP being reported to the user.
This is a kernel bug; I've reported it to kernel devs (turned out to
be a known bug). I'm seeing it on x86_64 Fedora 20 (Linux
3.16.4-200.fc20.x86_64), and I was told it's still not fixed upstream.
This commit extends gdb.base/sigstep.exp to cover this use case,
xfailed.
Here's what the bug looks like:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at si-handler.c:48
48 setup ();
(gdb) next
50 global = 0; /* set break here */
Let's queue a signal, so we can step into the handler:
(gdb) handle SIGUSR1
Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description
SIGUSR1 Yes Yes Yes User defined signal 1
(gdb) queue-signal SIGUSR1
TF is not set:
(gdb) display $eflags
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
Now step into the handler -- "si" does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP+SIGUSR1:
(gdb) si
sigusr1_handler (sig=0) at si-handler.c:31
31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
No TF yet. But another single-step...
(gdb) si
0x0000000000400621 31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
... ends up with TF left set. This results in PTRACE_CONTINUE
trapping after each instruction is executed:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x0000000000400624 in sigusr1_handler (sig=0) at si-handler.c:31
31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
sigusr1_handler (sig=10) at si-handler.c:32
32 global = 0;
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
Note that even another PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does not fix it:
(gdb) si
33 }
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
Eventually, it gets "fixed" by the rt_sigreturn syscall, when
returning out of the handler:
(gdb) bt
#0 sigusr1_handler (sig=10) at si-handler.c:33
#1 <signal handler called>
#2 main () at si-handler.c:50
(gdb) set disassemble-next-line on
(gdb) si
0x0000000000400632 33 }

(gdb)
The bug doesn't happen if we instead PTRACE_CONTINUE into the signal
handler -- e.g., set a breakpoint in the handler, queue a signal, and
"continue".

Hacking on sigstep.exp, I found it harder to understand and extend
than ideal.
- GDB is currently not restarted between the different
tests/combinations in the file, and some parts of the tests' setup
are done on the top level, and shared between tests. It's not
trivial to understand which breakpoints each test procedure expects
to be set or not set. And it's not trivial to disable parts of the
test if you want quickly try out just a subset of the tests
(running the whole file takes a bit).
- Because GDB is currently not restarted between tests, if some test
triggers a ptrace/kernel bug, the following tests may end up with
cascading fails. That makes it hard to add a test to cover a
kernel bug that isn't fixed yet, with a xfail/kfail. E.g,. note
how with kernels with bug gdb/8744 (stepi over sigreturn syscall
exits program) the test program exits, and nothing restarts it
afterwards...
- The manual test message prefix management gets a bit in the way.
Nowadays, we have with_test_prefix which makes it simpler.
- 'i' is used as parameter name in the various procedures, meaning
'the command the test', which isn't as obvious as it could.
This commit addresses all that.

I noticed that "si" behaves differently when a "handle nostop" signal
arrives while the step is in progress, depending on whether the
program was stopped at a breakpoint when "si" was entered.
Specifically, in case GDB needs to step off a breakpoint, the handler
is skipped and the program stops in the next "mainline" instruction.
Otherwise, the "si" stops in the first instruction of the signal
handler.
I was surprised the testsuite doesn't catch this difference. Turns
out gdb.base/sigstep.exp covers a bunch of cases related to stepping
and signal handlers, but does not test stepi nor nexti, only
step/next/continue.
My first reaction was that stopping in the signal handler was the
correct thing to do, as it's where the next user-visible instruction
that is executed is. I considered then "nexti" -- a signal handler
could be reasonably considered a subroutine call to step over, it'd
seem intuitive to me that "nexti" would skip it.
But then, I realized that signals that arrive while a plain/line
"step" is in progress _also_ have their handler skipped. A user might
well be excused for being confused by this, given:
(gdb) help step
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
And the signal handler's sources will be in different source lines,
after all.
I think that having to explain that "stepi" steps into handlers, (and
that "nexti" wouldn't according to my reasoning above), while "step"
does not, is a sign of an awkward interface.
E.g., if a user truly is interested in stepping into signal handlers,
then it's odd that she has to either force the signal to "handle
stop", or recall to do "stepi" whenever such a signal might be
delivered. For that use case, it'd seem nicer to me if "step" also
stepped into handlers.
This suggests to me that we either need a global "step-into-handlers"
setting, or perhaps better, make "handle pass/nopass stop/nostop
print/noprint" have have an additional axis - "handle
stepinto/nostepinto", so that the user could configure whether
handlers for specific signals should be stepped into.
In any case, I think it's simpler (and thus better) for all step
commands to behave the same. This commit thus makes "si/ni" skip
handlers for "handle nostop" signals that arrive while the command was
already in progress, like step/next do.
To be clear, nothing changes if the program was stopped for a signal,
and the user enters a stepping command _then_ -- GDB still steps into
the handler. The change concerns signals that don't cause a stop and
that arrive while the step is in progress.

This commit modifies the code that prints attach and detach messages
related to following fork and vfork. The changes include using
target_terminal_ours_for_output instead of target_terminal_ours,
printing "vfork" instead of "fork" for all vfork-related messages,
and using _() for the format strings of all of the messages.
We also add a "detach" message for when a fork parent is detached.
Previously in this case the only message was notification of attaching
to the child. We still do not print any messages when following the
parent and detaching the child (the default). The rationale for this
is that from the user's perspective the new child was never attached.
Note that all of these messages are only printed when 'verbose' is set
or when debugging is turned on.
The tests gdb.base/foll-fork.exp and gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp were
modified to check for the new message.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native only.
