The linker side of pr16563 was fixed with commit 18cd5bce, but
unfortunately people continue to use older linkers with -flto. This
means we have binaries with working .eh_frame that can't be dumped by
readelf, and I'm seeing internal IBM bug reports about this fact.

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.

This commit implements functions for identifying and extracting extended
ptrace event information from a Linux wait status. These are just
convenience functions intended to hide the ">> 16" used to extract the
event from the wait status word, replacing the hard-coded shift with a more

follow-fork and detach-on-fork for extended-remote linux targets.

I see the following fail on arm-none-eabi target,

Breakpoint 1 at 0x4: file
../../../../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.cc,
line 24.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.exp: b 24
Currently, we are using flag has_section_at_zero to determine whether
address zero in debug info means the corresponding code has been
GC'ed, like this:
case DW_LNE_set_address:
address = read_address (abfd, line_ptr, cu, &bytes_read);
if (address == 0 && !dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero)
{
/* This line table is for a function which has been
GCd by the linker. Ignore it. PR gdb/12528 */
However, this is incorrect on some bare metal targets, as .text
section is located at 0x0, so dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero
is true. If a function is GC'ed by linker, the address is zero. GDB
thinks address zero is a function's address rather than this function
is GC'ed.
In this patch, we choose 'lowpc' got in read_file_scope to check
whether 'lowpc' is greater than zero. If it isn't, address zero really
means the function is GC'ed. In this patch, we pass 'lowpc' in
read_file_scope through handle_DW_AT_stmt_list and dwarf_decode_lines,
and to dwarf_decode_lines_1 finally.
This patch fixes the fail above. This patch also covers the path that
partial symbol isn't used, which is tested by starting gdb with
--readnow option.
It is regression tested on x86-linux with
target_board=dwarf4-gdb-index, and arm-none-eabi. OK to apply?

Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
That "warning: Could not load shared library..." is mostly harmless (it is
a bug in GDB), in the FAIL case it is not printed just because
bfd_check_format() fails there.
It seems logical to me this way when the 'size' parameter has been already
added.
Alan Modra:
I was wrongly thinking that the section headers were
always last when I wrote that code. (They are now! If you relink
that vdso with current binutils master you won't hit this problem, but
that of course doesn't help existing kernels.)
I do not see a regression for add-symbol-file-from-memory for libncurses.so.5
from the original thread above.

else if (size >= shdr_end)
- high_offset = shdr_end;

But then 0x778 < 0x780 for "Section header string table index" so whole
bfd_check_format() fails because section headers were not cleared here:
/* If the segments visible in memory didn't include the section headers,
then clear them from the file header. */

This is just a testcase addition that I am proposing for upstream GDB.
We have this in our internal tree, and the related RH bug is:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809179>
(You might not be able to see all the comments without privileges.)
This bug is about a global variable that got incorrectly displayed by
GDB. This bug has already been fixed a long time ago by Joel's
commit:
commit 19630284f5
Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@gnat.com>
Date: Tue Jun 5 13:50:50 2012 +0000
But I think a testcase for it wouldn't hurt.
So, consider the following scenario:
$ cat solib1.c
int test;
void c_main (void)
{
test = 42;
}
$ cat solib2.c
int test;
void b_main (void)
{
test = 42;
}
$ cat main.c
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
c_main ();
b_main ();
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO1.so -c solib1.c
$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO2.so -c solib2.c
$ gcc -g -o main -L$PWD -lSO1 -lSO2 main.c
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
...
$1 = 0
This happened with GDB before Joel's commit above. Now, things work
and GDB is able to correctly display the nested global variable:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
...
$1 = 42
The testcase attached tests this behavior.

In gdb/gdbserver/Makefile.in, IPAGENT_CFLAGS is defined using
an expression which references $(CPPFLAGS). But CPPFLAGS isn't
actually defined.
This patch first adds a CPPFLAGS definition, so as to inherit
the value passed at configure time (if any). And it then makes it
part of INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE, instead. There is no reason that
CPPFLAGS be useful for a certain class of source files, and not
the rest. This is also consistent with what's done in GDB.

(top level): Factor out tests to ...

PR 12526 reports that -location watchpoints against bitfield arguments
trigger false positives when bits around the bitfield, but not the
bitfield itself, are modified.
This happens because -location watchpoints naturally operate at the
byte level, not at the bit level. When the address of a bitfield
lvalue is taken, information about the bitfield (i.e. its offset and
size) is lost in the process.
This information must first be retained throughout the lifetime of the
-location watchpoint. This patch achieves this by adding two new
fields to the watchpoint struct: val_bitpos and val_bitsize. These
fields are set when a watchpoint is first defined in watch_command_1.
They are both equal to zero if the watchpoint is not a -location
watchpoint or if the argument is not a bitfield.
Then these bitfield parameters are used inside update_watchpoint and
watchpoint_check to extract the actual value of the bitfield from the
watchpoint address, with the help of a local helper function
extract_bitfield_from_watchpoint_value.
Finally when creating a HW breakpoint pointing to a bitfield, we
optimize the address and length of the breakpoint. By skipping over
the bytes that don't cover the bitfield, this step reduces the
frequency at which a read watchpoint for the bitfield is triggered.
It also reduces the number of times a false-positive call to
check_watchpoint is triggered for a write watchpoint.

GDB has a function named "current_inferior" and gdbserver has a global
variable named "current_inferior", but the two are not equivalent;
indeed, gdbserver does not have any real equivalent of what GDB calls
an inferior. What gdbserver's "current_inferior" is actually pointing
to is a structure describing the current thread. This commit renames
current_inferior as current_thread in gdbserver to clarify this. It
also renames the function "set_desired_inferior" to "set_desired_thread"
and renames various local variables from foo_inferior to foo_thread.

This adds a test that makes sure GDB knows whether the target has
continuable, or non-continuable watchpoints.
That is, the test confirms that GDB presents a watchpoint value change

In the recent review to my patch about copying files to remote host,
we find that we need a board file which is more closely mapped real
remote host testing to improve coverage. With the board file
local-remote-host-native.exp, DejaGNU copies files to
$build/gdb/testsuite/remote-host to emulate the effect of remote host.
Is it OK?

Refactor each relaxation pattern to raise the maintainability.
In origin, all patterns is analysed in nds32_elf_relax_section,
so it is hard to debug and maintain. Therefore, we classify all
patterns into different functions in this patch.
Moreover, we adjust all optimizations into nds32_elf_relax_section
to take these optimizations in turn. This can promise all relaxation
being done after calling gld${EMULATION_NAME}_after_allocation.
First, add nds32 audio ISA extension including opcodes and registers.
Second, redesign the disassemble implement.
The original disassemble decode instruction opcode using switch-case.
It is hard to synchronize when adding new instructions.
Therefore, the new implement reuses nds32_opcodes to dump the instructions.
