When building with --enable-targets=all the target string is not set to
something that matches the pattern arc*-*, and so the script used to
decide if we should build big or little endian linker script currently
exits with an error.
This commit makes little endian linker script be the default, which will
be used when building for all targets, this matches the behaviour from
before I made the endianness switchable, when we only ever built little
endian linker scripts anyway.
ld/ChangeLog:
* emulparams/arc-endianness.sh: Make little endian default choice.
An upcoming commit will add a new arc instruction flag that uses
characters that have never appeared in an arc instruction flag before.
Currently the assembler is very conservative about which characters can
or cannot appear in an instruction flag.
This commit relaxes these constraints a little. After this commit all
alpha-numeric characters are now allowed into instruction flags. This
complete set is not required for the upcoming change, however, having
this slightly larger set does not impact the assemblers ability to
correctly parse input, but does make it easier to add new flag to the
instruction table.
gas/ChangeLog:
* config/tc-arc.c (tokenize_flags): Allow greater range of
characters into flag names.
The preprocess_operands function changes the incoming list of assembler
tokens based on the assumption that the first arc_operand found will be
the same instruction class as all of the arc_operands for the same
mnemonic.
Though this assumption is probably fine, removing this assumption, and
pushing the token change down into assemble_tokens makes the code no
more complex, and might even be easier to follow.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

This patch eliminates an error thrown when accessing the value of a
pointer to a structure where the pointer has been optimized out and
'set print object' is 'on'. The error shows up as the rather ugly
value of the pointer variable in Eclipse.
If 'set print object' is 'on', GDB tries to determine the actual
(derived) type of the object rather than the declared type, which
requires dereferencing the pointer, which in this cases throws an
error because the pointer has been optimized out.
The fix is to simply ignore the 'print object on' setting for
pointers or references to structures when they have been optimized
out. This means we just get the declared type instead of the actual
type, because in this case that's the best that we can do.
To implement the fix, value_optimized_out was modified so that it
no longer throws an error when it fails to fetch the specified
value. Instead, it just checks value->optimized_out. If we can't
definitively say that the value is optimized out, then we assume
it is not.

* value.c (value_actual_type): Don't try to get rtti type

This patch implements a test that ensures that with "set print object
on", -var-create returns "<optimized out>" for an optimized out pointer
to structure, rather than throwing an error, while also ensuring that
any attempt to dereference the pointer *will* throw an error.
It uses the dwarf assembler to construct the appropriate debug info
to represent a pointer-to-struct in the program as optimized out,
and then accesses that pointer in various ways. The test uses both
the console interpreter and the MI interpreter.

Revert the previous commit adding unknown_v_replies_ok.

gdb -ex 'file target:/root/redhat/threadit' -ex 'target remote :1234'

But that does not work because:

...
Sending packet: $vFile:setfs:104#24...Packet received: OK

GDB documentation says:
The valid responses to Host I/O packets are:
An empty response indicates that this operation is not recognized.

This aims to bring the linker for big-endian arc targets into line with
the linker for (the default) little endian arc targets.
The bulk of the changes are to extend the target pattern in the test
files from 'arc-*...' to 'arc*-*...' and so match both big and little
endian arc targets.
In the ld/emulparams/ directory the existing scripts checked for a
variable ARC_ENDIAN to switch between big and little endian targets,
however, this variable is never set up.
So, a new script snippet is introduced which sets up ARC_ENDIAN based on
the value of target, this snippet is then included from all of the
existing arc scripts.
The existing big-endian variants of all the scripts, which existed, but
were never used, are deleted in this commit.

When we build a shared library for testing, it is built differently
whether it is meant for the local system or a remote one. When it is
for the local system, the library is built with no SONAME. So when the
executable is built, roughly in this way:
$ gcc testfile.c /path/to/library.so
the executable will contain an absolute reference to the library. For
example:
$ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared | grep NEEDED
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared-sl.sl]
When testing is done remotely, the absolute path obviously doesn't work.
Therefore, we build the library with an SONAME:
$ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared-sl.sl | grep SONAME
0x000000000000000e (SONAME) Library soname: [py-shared-sl.sl]
which ends up in the executable's NEEDED field:
$ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared | grep NEEDED
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [py-shared-sl.sl]
The executable and the library are then uploaded side-by-side on the
remote system. To allow the dynamic linker to find the shared library,
we have to add the special RPATH value $ORIGIN, which tells it to search
in the executable's directory:
$ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared | grep ORIGIN
0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [$ORIGIN]
The problem with the IPA library is that it doesn't have an SONAME,
making it very difficult to do testing on a remote board. When a
test executable is linked with it, it contains an absolute reference to
the library path. Therefore, unless the paths on the target are the
same as on the build system, it won't work.
To make it possible for tests using the IPA library to run test on
remote boards, I suggest adding an SONAME to libinproctrace.so. I don't
think it should be a big problem for users. All the libraries installed
on my system have an SONAME, so it should be fine if libinproctrace.so
does too.
As a consequence, native testing does not work anymore, since
executables do not contain the absolute path to the library anymore. To
keep them working, we can have gdb_load_shlibs copy the library to the
test directory when testing natively. That's done by modifying
gdb_load_shlibs. We also have to add RPATH=$ORIGIN to executables, even
when testing natively.
I think it's a good change in general, as it reduces the differences
between testing a native and a remote target. To further reduce those
differences, we can also always build test shared libraries with an
SONAME.
ftrace.exp and ftrace-lock.exp need to be modified slightly. The code
checks that the IPA library is loaded using the absolute path on the
build machine. That obviously doesn't work if the test is done
remotely, as the path will be different. I changed the tests to only
search for the library basename (e.g. libinproctrace.so).

* Makefile.in ($(IPA_LIB)): Set SONAME of the IPA lib.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/ftrace-lock.exp: Check for IPA basename instead of

This patch removes gdb_download in favor of gdb_remote_download, since
they are very close in functionality. Also, in preparation for the
following patch about shared library handling during tests, it improves
gdb_remote_download so that it uses standard_output_file for any
destination board that is local, not only host.
If the destination board is remote, gdb_remote_download will use the
standard remote_download from DejaGnu, resulting in the file being
transferred on the remote system.
If the destination is local, gdb_remote_download will copy the file to
the standard test directory (found using standard_output_file). Tcl's
file copy seems to handle gracefully cases where the source file is the
same as the destination, so I don't think it's necessary to check for
that case ourselves, as a previous version of the patch did.
I'd prefer to keep the name gdb_download instead of gdb_remote_download,
since I don't like the fact that gdb_remote_download implies that the
destination is remote, when it's not always the case. However,
gdb_remote_download is used at many more places than gdb_download, so
it's easier to reuse that. Also, since it's a wrapper around DejaGnu's
remote_download, it might be better to keep that name. I don't know.
I ran the testsuite native, with native-gdbserver and with a
remote gdbserver, and didn't see any related failure.

* elf32-arc.c (name_for_global_symbol): Added assert to check for
symbol index.
(elf_arc_relocate_section): Added and changed asserts, validating
the synamic symbol index.
(elf_arc_finish_dynamic_symbol): Do not fill the dynamic
relocation if symbol has dynindx set to -1.
Always turn hidden and internal symbols which have a dynamic index into
local ones. This is required by the the ELF gABI[1]:
"A hidden symbol contained in a relocatable object must be either
removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the
relocatable object is included in an executable file or shared object."
"An internal symbol contained in a relocatable object must be either
removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the
relocatable object is included in an executable file or shared object."
The ELF linker usually respects this requirement, however in the case
where a dynamic symbol has been preallocated due to a reference of the
default export class aka visibility from the object being linked, and
then merged with a hidden or internal symbol definition from within the
same object, then the original export class is carried over to the
output dynamic symbol table, because while merging the generic ELF
linker only converts affected dynamic symbols to local when they are
defined or referenced by the object being linked and a dynamic object
involved in the link both at a time.
The dynamic symbol produced confuses then the dynamic loader at the run
time -- the hidden or internal export class is ignored and the symbol
follows preemption rules as with the default export class.
In the MIPS target it happens when `mips_elf_record_global_got_symbol'
creates a dynamic symbol when a call relocation is encountered.
Additionally if the undefined symbol referred by such a relocation does
specify the intended export class, then a local dynamic symbol is
created instead, which is harmless and allowed, but useless. Normally
no local dynamic symbols are created, except for a single dummy one at
the beginning.
Correct the problem by removing the extra check for a dynamic symbol
being defined or referenced by the object being linked and a dynamic
object involved in the link both at a time. The test cases included
cover the internal and hidden symbol cases, as well as a protected
symbol for a reference, the handling of which is unchanged by this fix.
Both cases described above are covered, that is where an internal or
hidden dynamic symbol is produced and where a local one is.
NB this change affects CRIS results where some symbols in the static
table produced in a final link are now converted from STV_HIDDEN to
STB_LOCAL. This happens whenever the `elf_backend_hide_symbol' handler
is called, so the affected symbols must have been chosen for entering
into the dynamic symbol table, except in these test cases no such symbol
table is produced. In fully linked binaries the static symbol table is
only used for debugging though, so such a change is fine.
