All callers of target_async pass it the same callback
(inferior_event_handler). Since both common code and target backends
need to be able to put the target in and out of target async mode at
any given time, there's really no way that a different callback could
be passed. This commit simplifies things, and removes the indirection
altogether. Bonus: with this, gdb's target_async method ends up with
the same signature as gdbserver's.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

This commit adds a new packet "vFile:fstat:" to the remote protocol
that can be used by to retrieve information about files that have
been previously opened using vFile:open. vFile:fstat: support is
added to GDB, and remote_bfd_iovec_stat is implemented using it. If
vFile:fstat: is not supported by the remote GDB creates a dummy result
by zeroing the supplied stat structure and setting its st_size field
to INT_MAX. This mimics GDB's previous behaviour, with the exception
that GDB did not previously zero the structure so all other fields
would have been returned unchanged, which is to say very likely
populated with random values from the stack.

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

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
This normalizes some exception catch blocks that check for ex.reason
to look like this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
...
}
~~~
This is a preparation step for running a script that converts all
TRY_CATCH uses to look like this instead:
~~~
TRY
{
...
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ALL)
{
...
}
END_CATCH
~~~
The motivation for that change is being able to reimplent TRY/CATCH in
terms of C++ try/catch.
This commit makes it so that:
- no condition other than ex.reason < 0 is checked in the if
predicate
- there's no "else" block to check whether no exception was caught
- there's no code between the TRY_CATCH (TRY) block and the
'if (ex.reason < 0)' block (CATCH).
- the exception object is no longer referred to outside the if/catch
block. Note the local volatile exception objects that are
currently defined inside functions that use TRY_CATCH will
disappear. In cases it's more convenient to still refer to the
exception outside the catch block, a new non-volatile local is
added and copy to that object is made within the catch block.
The following patches should make this all clearer.

This commit introduces a new inline common function "startswith"
which takes two string arguments and returns nonzero if the first
string starts with the second. It also updates the 295 places
where this logic was written out longhand to use the new function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/common-utils.h (startswith): New inline function.
All places where this logic was used updated to use the above.
This adjusts target remote to tell the core whether a trap was caused
by a breakpoint.
To that end, the patch teaches GDB about new RSP stop reasons "T05
swbreak" and "T05 hwbreak", that remote targets report back to GDB,
similarly to how "T05 watch" indicates a stop caused by a watchpoint.
Because targets that can report these events are expected to
themselves adjust the PC after a software breakpoint, these new stop
reasons must only be reported if the stub is talking to a GDB that
understands them. Because of that, the use of the new stop reasons
needs to be handshaked on initial connection, using the qSupported
mechanism. GDB simply sends "swbreak+" in its qSupports query, and
the stub reports back "swbreak+" too.
Because these new stop reasons are required to fix a fundamental
non-stop mode problem, this commit extends the remote non-stop intro
section in the manual, documenting the events as required.
To be clear, GDB will still cope with remote targets that don't
support these new stop reasons; it will behave just like today.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

This patch renames symbols that happen to have names which are
reserved keywords in C++.
Most of this was generated with Tromey's cxx-conversion.el script.
Some places where later hand massaged a bit, to fix formatting, etc.
And this was rebased several times meanwhile, along with re-running
the script, so re-running the script from scratch probably does not
result in the exact same output. I don't think that matters anyway.

We need to be careful with parsing optional stop reasons that start
with an hex character ("awatch", "core"), as GDBs that aren't aware of
them parse them as real numbers. That's silly of course, given that
there should be a colon after those magic "numbers". So if strtol on
"abbz:" doesn't return "first invalid char" pointing to the colon, we
know that "abbz" isn't really a register number. It must be optional
stop info we don't know about. This adjusts GDB to work that way,
removing the need for the special casing done upfront:
/* If this packet is an awatch packet, don't parse the 'a'
as a register number. */
if (strncmp (p, "awatch", strlen("awatch")) != 0
&& strncmp (p, "core", strlen ("core") != 0))
For as long as we care about compatibility with GDB 7.9, we'll need to
continue to be careful about this, so I added a comment.

This is another event-loop/async related problem exposed by the patch
that made 'query' use gdb_readline_wrapper (588dcc3edb).
The problem is that even though gdb_readline_wrapper disables
target-async while the secondary prompt is in progress, the record
target's async event source is left marked. So when
gdb_readline_wrapper nests an event loop to process input, it may
happen that that event loop ends up processing a target event while
GDB is not really ready for it. Here's the relevant part of the
backtrace showing the root issue in action:

With my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series, I'm also seeing
gdb.server/ext-attach.exp fail occasionally due to the same issue.
The first part of the fix is for target_async implementations to make
sure to remove/unmark all target-related event sources from the event
loop.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00652.html, Sandra
shows a target that was broken by the recent update_thread_list
optimization:
(gdb) target remote qa8-centos32-cs:10514
...
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command without a live selected thread.
(gdb)
The error means that the current thread is in "exited" state when the
continue command is processed. The root of the problem was found
here:
> Sending packet: $Hg0#df...Packet received:
...
> Sending packet: $?#3f...Packet received: S00
> Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: l
> Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received:
> Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: unset
This target doesn't really support threads (no thread indication in
stop reply packets; no support for qC), but then supports
qfThreadInfo, and returns an empty thread list to GDB.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00665.html for
why the target does that.
As remote_update_thread_list deletes threads from GDB's list that are
not found in the thread list that the target reports, the result is
that GDB deletes the "fake" main thread that GDB added itself. (As
that thread is currently selected, it is marked "exited" instead of
being deleted straight away.)
This commit avoids deleting the main thread in this scenario.

* gdbthread.h (ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE): New macro.
* remote.c (remote_update_thread_list): Skip calling prune_threads
if any thread listing method is supported, and instead walk over
the set of remote threads listed, deleting those that are not
found in GDB's thread list.
When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to
"info threads"), it calls update_thread_list:
update_thread_list (void)
{
prune_threads ();
target_find_new_threads ();
update_threads_executing ();
}
And then prune_threads does:
prune_threads (void)
{
struct thread_info *tp, *next;
for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next)
{
next = tp->next;
if (!thread_alive (tp))
delete_thread (tp->ptid);
}
}
Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive.
E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not
a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls...
With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends
up generating one T packet per thread:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n
That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method
implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target
threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to
GDB's thread list.
This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads
to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may
implement pruning dead threads however it wants.
Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the
patch renames it to target_update_thread_list.
The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet.
It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of
target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op.

We have three methods to list the current remote thread list:
1. The qXfer:threads:read method (the preferred one nowadays), builds a
remote thread list while parsing the XML, and then after the XML
parsing is done, goes over the built list and adds threads GDB doesn't
know about yet to GDB's list.
2. If the qXfer method isn't available, we fallback to using the
qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo packets. When we do this, we adds threads
to GDB's list immediately as we parse the qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo
packet replies.
3. And then if the previous method isn't available either, we try the
old deprecated qL packet. This path is already looking somewhat
broken for not using remote_notice_new_inferior to add threads to
GDB's list.
This patch makes all variants work in two passes, like the qXfer
method, and then makes all variants share the code path that adds
threads to GDB's list.

changed the way breakpoints are inserted and removed such that
`insert_bp_location' can now be called with the breakpoint being handled
already in place, while previously the call was only ever made for
breakpoints that have not been put in place. This in turn caused an
issue for software breakpoints and targets for which a breakpoint's
`placed_address' may not be the same as the original requested address.
The issue is `insert_bp_location' overwrites the previously adjusted
value in `placed_address' with the original address, that is only
replaced back with the correct adjusted address later on when
`gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc' is called. Meanwhile there's a window
where the value in `placed_address' does not correspond to data stored
in `shadow_contents', leading to incorrect instruction bytes being
supplied when `one_breakpoint_xfer_memory' is called to supply the
instruction overlaid by the breakpoint.
And this is exactly what happens on the MIPS target with software
breakpoints placed in microMIPS code. In this case not only
`placed_address' is not the original address because of the ISA bit, but
`mips_breakpoint_from_pc' has to read the original instruction to
determine which one of the two software breakpoint instruction encodings
to choose as well. The 16-bit encoding is used to replace 16-bit
instructions and similarly the 32-bit one is used with 32-bit
instructions, to satisfy branch delay slot size requirements.
The mismatch between `placed_address' and the address data in
`shadow_contents' has been obtained from leads to the wrong encoding
being used in some cases, which in the case of a 32-bit software
breakpoint instruction replacing a 16-bit instruction causes corruption
to the adjacent following instruction and leads the debug session astray
if execution reaches there e.g. with a jump.
To address this problem I made the change below, that adds a
`reqstd_address' field to `struct bp_target_info' and leaves
`placed_address' unchanged once it has been set. This ensures data in
`shadow_contents' is always consistent with `placed_address'.
This approach also has this good side effect that all the places that
examine the breakpoint's address see a consistent value, either
`reqstd_address' or `placed_address', as required. Currently some
places see either the original or the adjusted address in
`placed_address', depending on whether they have been called before
`gdbarch_remote_breakpoint_from_pc' or afterwards. This is in
particular true for subsequent calls to
`gdbarch_remote_breakpoint_from_pc' itself, e.g. from
`one_breakpoint_xfer_memory'. This is also important for places like
`find_single_step_breakpoint' where a breakpoint's address is compared
to the raw value of $pc.

By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

The code becomes dead as GDB evolves. In 2003, Andrew Cagney post patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2003-10/msg00511.html to add target
read/write partial methods. They support query buffer size when both
OFFSET and LEN is zero, and it was used in avr-tdep.c and kod.c. Then,
Daniel added target_read_object_alloc and avr-tdep.c switches to use that
in patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00009.html
From then on, GDB on longer queries the buffer size, so the code
returning packet size in remote_xfer_partial became dead.
PR 17060 is duplicated of PR 9053, so I mention the latter in the
ChangeLog entry. Rebuild GDB with this patch. OK to apply?

Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several
different but related scenarios.
E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread
2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread
2, not thread 1. This obviously messes up programs that use
pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads.
This has been a known issue for a long while. Back in 2008 when I
made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see
code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later.
The time has finally come now.
The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always
delivered to the thread that had intercepted them.
Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches
to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually
delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches
to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint... If the user deletes the
breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered
to thread 2 (the current thread).
"signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the
program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing
"handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had
stopped for. These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin,
and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do. GDB might
have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new
signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test). At least in the
inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver
the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the
command's behavior consistent and easy to explain.
Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program
had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had
changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with:
(gdb) continue
Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO.
(gdb) thread 2
(gdb) signal SIGBAR
... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2
(with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then
"signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads).
So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation:
(gdb) thread 1
[Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)]
(gdb) signal SIGUSR2
Note:
Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2.
Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will
still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads.
Continue anyway? (y or n)
All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.

When debugging a remote bare-metal target with "target
extended-remote" + attach, GDB won't send a qSymbol packet to initiate
symbol lookup. This happens because all the previous places in which
GDB might have done this are guarded by conditions that don't hold in
the said scenario: there are no shared libraries, no vsyscall page and
the binary file didn't change in the time passed between the "file"
and the "attach" commands.

target_post_attach hook.

On Windows, with "maint set target-async on" (the default since
a09dd441), Ctrl-C fails to stop a remote target.
With maint target-async on, the SIGINT signal handler doesn't send the
remote interrupt request immediately. Instead, it marks an async
handler as ready, and then the main event loop wakes up and notices
that the SIGINT async signal handler token was set, and calls the
corresponding event handler, which sends the remote interrupt request.
On POSIX-like systems, the SIGINT signal makes the select/poll in the
main event loop wake up / return with EINTR. However, on Windows,
signal handlers run on a separate thread, and Windows doesn't really
have a concept of EINTR. So, just marking the async handler
(effectively just setting a flag) does not wake up gdb_select.
Instead, we need to call gdb_call_async_signal_handler from the signal
handler. The Windows version (in mingw-hdep.c) sets a Windows event
that gdb_select's WaitForMultipleObjects is waiting for.
Confirmed that with this, Ctrl-C interrupts the remote target on
Windows. Also regression tested on x86_64 Fedora 20 against
GDBserver.

Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock step: get to main in new image (GDB internal error)
The assertion is correct. The issue is that GDB is mistakenly trying
to switch back to an exited thread, that was previously stepping when
it exited. This is exactly the sort of thing the test wants to make
sure doesn't happen:
# Now set a breakpoint at `main', and step over the execl call. The
# breakpoint at main should be reached. GDB should not try to revert
# back to the old thread from the old image and resume stepping it
We don't see this bug with schedlock off only because a different
sequence of events makes GDB manage to delete the thread instead of
marking it exited.
This particular internal error can be fixed by making the loop over
all threads in switch_back_to_stepped_thread skip exited threads.
But, looking over other ALL_THREADS users, all either can or should be
skipping exited threads too. So for simplicity, this patch replaces
ALL_THREADS with a new macro that skips exited threads itself, and
updates everything to use it.

See updated ChangeLog below.
--------------------
The quoting in whatever goes in the event_channel of MI is little bit broken.
Link for the lazy:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15806
Here is an example of a =library-loaded event with an ill-named directory,
/tmp/how"are\you (the problem is present with every directory on Windows since
it uses backslashes as a path separator). The result will be the following:
=library-loaded,id="/tmp/how"are\\you/libexpat.so.1",...
The " between 'how' and 'are' should be escaped.
Another bad behavior is double escaping in =breakpoint-created, for example:
=breakpoint-created,bkpt={...,fullname="/tmp/how\\"are\\\\you/test.c",...}
The two backslashes before 'how' should be one and the four before 'you' should
be two.
The reason for this is that when sending something to an MI console, escaping
can take place at two different moments (the actual escaping work is always
done in the printchar function):
1. When generating the content, if ui_out_field_* functions are used. Here,
fields are automatically quoted with " and properly escaped. At least
mi_field_string does it, not sure about mi_field_fmt, I need to investigate
further.
2. When gdb_flush is called, to send the data in the buffer of the console to
the actual output (stdout). At this point, mi_console_raw_packet takes the
whole string in the buffer, quotes it, and escapes all occurences of the
quoting character and backslashes. The event_channel does not specify a quoting
character, so quotes are not escaped here, only backslashes.
The problem with =library-loaded is that it does use fprintf_unfiltered, which
doesn't do escaping (so, no #1). When gdb_flush is called, backslashes are
escaped (#2).
The problem with =breakpoint-created is that it first uses ui_out_field_*
functions to generate its output, so backslashes and quotes are escaped there
(#1). backslashes are escaped again in #2, leading to an overdose of
backslashes.
In retrospect, there is no way escaping can be done reliably in
mi_console_raw_packet for data that is already formatted, such as
event_channel. At this point, there is no way to differentiate quotes that
delimit field values from those that should be escaped. In the case of other MI
consoles, it is ok since mi_console_raw_packet receives one big string that
should be quoted and escaped as a whole.
So, first part of the fix: for the MI channels that specify no quoting
character, no escaping at all should be done in mi_console_raw_packet (that's
the change in printchar, thanks to Yuanhui Zhang for this). For those channels,
whoever generates the content is responsible for proper quoting and escaping.
This will fix the =breakpoint-created kind of problem.
Second part of the fix is to make =library-loaded generate content that is
properly escaped. For this, we use ui_out_field_* functions, instead of one big
fprintf_unfiltered. =library-unloaded suffered from the same problem so it is
modified as well. There might be other events that need fixing too, but that's
all I found with a quick scan. Those that use fprintf_unfiltered but whose sole
variable data is a %d are not critical, since it won't generate a " or a \.
Finally, a test has been fixed, as it was expecting an erroneous output.
Otherwise, all other tests that were previously passing still pass (x86-64
linux).

This constifies the "args" argument to the target_ops to_attach
method.
I updated all instances of the method. I could not compile all of
them but I hand-inspected them. In all cases either the argument is
ignored, or it is passed to parse_pid_to_attach. (linux-nat does some
extra stuff, but that one I built...)
If you want to try it on your host of choice, please do so.
The code in parse_pid_to_attach seems a little bogus to me. If there
is a platform with a broken strtoul, we have better methods for fixing
the issue now. However, I left the code as is since it is clearly ok
to do so.

This does two things:
1. Adds a test.
Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.
2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.
Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.
I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

When connecting to a remote system, we use the compare-sections
command to verify that the box is running the code that we think it is
running. Since the system is up and running and *NOT* 'freshly
downloaded without yet executing anything', read-write sections, of
course, differ from what they were in the executable file.
Comparing read-write sections takes time and more importantly the
MIS-MATCHED output is confusing to some users.
The compare-sections command compares all loadable sections including
read-write sections. This patch gives the user the option to compare
just the loadable read-only sections.

... and others. The recent patch that fixed several "set remote
foo-packet on/off" commands introduced a regression, observable when
connecting GDB to QEMU. For instance:
(gdb) set debug remote 1
(gdb) tar rem :4444
Remote debugging using :4444

Packet received: OK

Sending packet: $qXfer:features:read:arm-core.xml:0,ffb#08...Ack
Packet received: [...]
!!! -> Sending packet: $QNonStop:0#8c...Ack
Packet received:
Remote refused setting all-stop mode with:
The "QNonStop" feature is associated with the PACKET_QNonStop packet,
with a default of PACKET_DISABLE, so GDB should not be sending the
packet at all.
The patch that introduced the regression decoupled packet_config's
'detect' and 'support' fields, making the former (an auto_boolean)
purely the associated "set remote foo-packet" command's variable. In
the example above, the packet config's 'supported' field does end up
correctly set to PACKET_DISABLE. However, nothing is presently
initializing packet configs that don't actually have a command
associated. Those configs's 'detect' field then ends up set to
AUTO_BOOLEAN_TRUE, simply because that happens to be 0. This forces
GDB to assume the packet is supported, irrespective of what the target
claims it supports, just like if the user had done "set remote
foo-packet on" (this being the associated command, if there was one).
Ideally, all packet configs would have a command associated. While
that isn't true, make sure all packet configs are initialized, even if
no command is associated, and add an assertion that prevents adding
more packets/features without an associated command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, against pristine gdbserver, and against a
gdbserver with the QNonStop packet/feature disabled with a local hack.

* remote.c (struct packet_config) <detect>: Extend comment.

(reset_all_packet_configs_support): New function.

(_initialize_remote): Initialize all packet configs. Assert that
all packets have an associated command, except a few known
outliers.
For several RSP packets, there's a corresponding "set remote
foo-packet on/off/auto" command that one can use do bypass
auto-detection of support for the packet or feature. However, I
noticed that setting several of these commands to 'on' or 'off'
doesn't actually have any effect. These are, at least:
set remote breakpoint-commands-packet
set remote conditional-breakpoints-packet
set remote fast-tracepoints-packet
set remote static-tracepoints-packet
set remote install-in-trace-packet
These are commands that control a remote protocol feature that doesn't
have a corresponding regular packet, and because of that we cache the
knowledge of the remote side support as returned by the qSupported
packet in the remote_state object.
E.g., in the case of the 'set remote breakpoint-commands-packet'
command, whether the feature is supported is recorded in the
'breakpoint_commands' field of the remote_state object.
Whether to bypass packet support auto-detection or not is controlled
by the 'detect' field of the corresponding packet's packet_config
structure. That field is the variable associated directly with the
"set remote foo-packet" command. Actual remote stub support for the
packet (or feature) is recorded in the 'support' field of the same
structure.
However, when the user toggles the command, the 'support' field is
also correspondingly updated to PACKET_ENABLE/DISABLE/SUPPORT_UNKNOWN,
discarding the knowledge of whether the target actually supports the
feature. If one toggles back to 'auto', it's no big issue for real
packets, as they'll just end up re-probed the next time they might be
necessary. But features whose support is only reported through
qSupported don't get their corresponding (manually added/maintained)
fields in remote_state objected updated. As we lost the actual status
of the target support for the feature, GDB would need to probe the
qSupported features again, which GDB doesn't do.
But we can avoid that extra traffic, and clean things up, IMO.
Instead of going in that direction, this patch completely decouples
struct packet_config's 'detect' and 'support' fields. E.g., when the
user does "set remote foo-packet off", instead of setting the packet
config's 'support' field to PACKET_DISABLE, the 'support' field is not
touched at all anymore. That is, we end up respecting this simple
table:
| packet_config->detect | packet_config->support | should use packet/feature? |
|-----------------------+------------------------+----------------------------|
| auto | PACKET_ENABLE | PACKET_ENABLE |
| auto | PACKET_DISABLE | PACKET_DISABLE |
| auto | PACKET_UNKNOWN | PACKET_UNKNOWN |
| yes | don't care | PACKET_ENABLE |
| no | don't care | PACKET_DISABLE |
This is implemented by the new packet_support function. With that, we
need to update this pattern throughout:
if (remote_protocol_packets[PACKET_foo].support == PACKET_DISABLE)
to do this instead:
if (packet_support (PACKET_qAttached) == PACKET_DISABLE)
where as mentioned, the packet_support function takes struct
packet_config's 'detect' field into account, like in the table above.
As when the packet is force-disabled or force-enabled, the 'support'
field is just ignored, if the command is set back to auto, we'll
resume respecting whatever the target said it supports. IOW, the end
result is that the 'support' field always represents whether the
target actually supports the packet or not.
After all that, the manually maintained breakpoint_commands and
equivalent fields of struct remote_state can then be eliminated, with
references replaced by checking the result of calling the
packet_support function on the corresponding packet or feature. This
required adding new PACKET_foo enum values for several features that
didn't have it yet. (The patch does not add corresponding "set remote
foo-packet" style commands though, focusing only on bug fixing and
laying the groundwork).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native GDBserver. The new tests all fail
without this patch.

[PATCH 7/8] Adjust read_value_memory to use to_xfer_partial
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00384.html
this patch moves traceframe_available_memory down to the target side.
After this patch, the gdb core code is cleaner, and code on handling
unavailable memory is moved to remote/tfile/ctf targets.
In details, this patch moves traceframe_available_memory code from
memory_xfer_partial_1 to remote target only, so remote target still
uses traceframe_info mechanism to check unavailable memory, and use
remote_ops to read them from read-only sections. We don't use
traceframe_info mechanism for tfile and ctf target, because it is
fast to iterate all traceframes from trace file, so the summary
information got from traceframe_info is not necessary.
This patch also moves two functions to remote.c from target.c,
because they are only used in remote.c. I'll clean them up in another
patch.

As we migrate to the new to_xfer_partial interface, some of previous

reverted.

From GDB's perspective, independently of how the target really
implements threads, gdb/remote sees all threads as if kernel/system
threads. A rationale along theses lines led to gdbserver storing
thread ids in ptid.lwp in all ports.
Because remote.c is currently using ptid.tid, we can't make gdbserver
and gdb share bits of remote-specific code that manipulates ptids
(e.g., write_ptid/read_ptid).
This patch thus makes remote.c use ptid.lwp instead of ptid.tid.
I believe that on the GDB side too, it's best that we standardize on
process_stratum targets using the ptid.lwp field to store thread ids
anyway. The idea being leave the ptid.tid field free for any
thread_stratum target that might want to sit on top.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, w/ local gdbserver.

This switches to_read_description to the "new normal" delegation

This patch does the conversion of to_xfer_partial from
LONGEST (*to_xfer_partial) (struct target_ops *ops,
enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len);
to
enum target_xfer_status (*to_xfer_partial) (struct target_ops *ops,
enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len, ULONGEST *xfered_len);
It changes to_xfer_partial return the transfer status and the transfered
length by *XFERED_LEN. Generally, the return status has three stats,
- TARGET_XFER_OK,
- TARGET_XFER_EOF,
- TARGET_XFER_E_XXXX,
See the comments to them in 'enum target_xfer_status'. Note that
Pedro suggested not name TARGET_XFER_DONE, as it is confusing,
compared with "TARGET_XFER_OK". We finally name it TARGET_XFER_EOF.
With this change, GDB core can handle unavailable data in a convenient
way.
The rationale behind this change was mentioned here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00761.html
Consider an object/value like this:
0 100 150 200 512
DDDDDDDDDDDxxxxxxxxxDDDDDD...DDIIIIIIIIIIII..III
where D is valid data, and xxx is unavailable data, and I is beyond
the end of the object (Invalid). Currently, if we start the
xfer at 0, requesting, say 512 bytes, we'll first get back 100 bytes.
The xfer machinery then retries fetching [100,512), and gets back
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE. That's sufficient when you're either
interested in either having the whole of the 512 bytes available,
or erroring out. But, in this scenario, we're interested in
the data at [150,512). The problem is that the last
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE gives us no indication where to
start the read next. We'd need something like:
get me [0,512) >>>
<<< here's [0,100), *xfered_len is 100, returns TARGET_XFER_OK
get me [100,512) >>> (**1)
<<< [100,150) is unavailable, *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE.
get me [150,512) >>>
<<< here's [150,200), *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_OK.
get me [200,512) >>>
<<< no more data, return TARGET_XFER_EOF.
This naturally implies pushing down the decision of whether
to return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE or something else
down to the target. (Which kinds of leads back to tfile
itself reading from RO memory from file (though we could
export a function in exec.c for that that tfile delegates to,
instead of re-adding the old code).
Beside this change, we also add a macro TARGET_XFER_STATUS_ERROR_P to
check whether a status is an error or not, to stop using "status < 0".
This patch also eliminates the comparison between status and 0.
No target implementations to to_xfer_partial adapts this new
interface. The interface still behaves as before.

Hi,
The following code snippet looks wrong to me
char *buf = rs->buf;
getpkt (&rs->buf, &rs->buf_size, 0);
packet_ok (buf, );
if rs->buf is reallocated in getpkt, buf points to an out of dated
memory. This patch removes local 'buf' and uses rs->buf.

Hi,
This patch changes the type of 'len' from ssize_t to ULONGEST.
At the beginning Siddhesh Poyarekar proposed this patch
[PATCH] Memory reads and writes should have size_t length
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg01073.html
to change type of 'len' to size_t. However, after Jan's review, we
decide to change it to ssize_t, because callers of these functions
may pass signed type to them.
AFAICS, the target layer is a boundary. In one side, we pass size_t
or ssize_t to target related APIs, and in the other side, the
implementation side, we used LONGEST (ULONGEST in latest code) because
of to_xfer_partial.
Since remote_write_bytes_aux and remote_write_bytes belong to the
implementation of remote target, we should use ULONGEST for len, IMO.
Regression tested on x86_64-linux. Is it OK?

Although we can tell upfront whether a remote target supports target
side commands, we can only tell whether the target supports that in
combination with a given breakpoint kind (software, hardware,
watchpoints, etc.) when we go and try to insert such a breakpoint kind
the first time. It's not desirable to make remote_insert_breakpoint
simply return -1 in this case, because if the breakpoint was set in a
shared library, insert_bp_location will assume that the breakpoint
insertion failed because the library wasn't mapped in.
insert_bp_location already handles errors/exceptions thrown from the
target_insert_xxx methods, exactly so the backend can tell the user
the detailed reason the insertion of hw breakpoints failed. But, in
the case of software breakpoints, it discards the detailed error
message.
So the patch makes insert_bp_location use the error's message for SW
breakpoints too, and, introduces a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERROR error code so
that insert_bp_location doesn't confuse the error for failure due to a
shared library disappearing.
The result is:
(gdb) c
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 2: Target doesn't support breakpoints that have target side commands.

Currently, when GDB connects in all-stop mode, GDBserver always
responds to the status packet with a GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, even if the
program is actually stopped for some other signal.
(gdb) tar rem ...
...
(gdb) c
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
(gdb) disconnect
(gdb) tar rem ...
(gdb) c
(Or a GDB crash instead of an explicit disconnect.)
This results in the program losing that signal on that last continue,
because gdb will tell the target to resume with no signal (to suppress
the GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, due to 'handle SISGTRAP nopass'), and that will
actually suppress the real signal the program had stopped for
(SIGUSR1). To fix that, I think we should make GDBserver report the
real signal the thread had stopped for in response to the status
packet:
@item ?
@cindex @samp{?} packet
Indicate the reason the target halted. The reply is the same as for
step and continue.
But, that raises the question -- which thread are we reporting the
status for? Due to how the RSP in all-stop works, we can only report
one status. The status packet's response is a stop reply packet, so
it includes the thread identifier, so it's not a problem packet-wise.
However, GDBserver is currently always reporting the status for first
thread in the thread list, even though that may well not be the thread
that got the signal that caused the program to stop. So the next
logical step would be to report the status for the
last_ptid/last_status thread (the last event reported to gdb), if it's
still around; and if not, fallback to some other thread.
There's an issue on the GDB side with that, though...
GDB currently always adds the thread reported in response to the
status query as the first thread in its list. That means that if we
start with e.g.,
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 1003 ...
* 2 Thread 1002 ...
1 Thread 1001 ...
And reconnect:
(gdb) disconnect
(gdb) tar rem ...
We end up with:
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 1003 ...
2 Thread 1001 ...
* 1 Thread 1002 ...
Not a real big issue, but it's reasonably fixable, by having GDB
fetch/sync the thread list before fetching the status/'?', and then
using the status to select the right thread as current on the GDB
side. Holes in the thread numbers are squashed before/after
reconnection (e.g., 2,3,5 becomes 1,2,3), but the order is preserved,
which I think is both good, and good enough.
However (yes, there's more...), the previous GDB that was connected
might have had gdbserver running in non-stop mode, or could have left
gdbserver doing disconnected tracing (which also forces non-stop), and
if the new gdb/connection is in all-stop mode, we can end up with more
than one thread with a signal to report back to gdb. As we can only
report one thread/status (in the all-stop RSP variant; the non-stop
variant doesn't have this issue), we get to do what we do at every
other place we have this situation -- leave events we can't report
right now as pending, so that the next resume picks them up.
Note all this ammounts to a QoI change, within the existing framework.
There's really no RSP change here.
The only user visible change (other than that the signal is program is
stopped at isn't lost / is passed to the program), is in "info
program", that now can show the signal the program stopped for. Of
course, the next resume will respect the pass/nopass setting for the
signal in question. It'd be reasonable to have the initial connection
tell the user the program was stopped with a signal, similar to when
we load a core to debug, but I'm leaving that out for a future change.
I think we'll need to either change how handle_inferior_event & co
handle stop_soon, or maybe bypass them completely (like
fork-child.c:startup_inferior) for that.
