I noticed that if input is already pending on the new-ui TTY, gdb
internal-errors.
E.g., create /dev/pts/2, and type anything there (even just <return>
is sufficient).
Now start GDB creating a new UI on that TTY, while at the same time,
running a synchronous execution command. Something like:
$ gdb program -ex "new-ui console /dev/pts/2" -ex "start"
Back on /dev/pts/2, we get:
(gdb) .../src/gdb/event-top.c:360: internal-error: double prompt
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
While the main UI was waiting for "start" to finish, gdb kepts pumping
events, including the input fd of the extra console. The problem is
that stdin_event_handler doesn't restore the current UI back to what
it was, assuming that it's only ever called from the top level event
loop. However, in this case, it's being called from the nested event
loop from within maybe_wait_sync_command_done.
When finally the "start" command is done, we reach the code that
prints the prompt in the main UI, just before starting the main event
loop. Since now the current UI is pointing at the extra console (by
mistake), we find ourselves printing a double prompt on the extra
console. This is caught by the assertion that fails, as shown above.
Since other event handlers also don't restore the UI (e.g., signal
event handlers), I think it's better if whatever is pumping events to
take care to restore the UI, if it cares. That's what this patch
does. New test included.

Now that all the prerequisites are in place, this commit finally adds support
for handling the __float128 type on Intel and Power, by providing appropriate
platform-specific versions of the floatformat_for_type callback.
Since at this point we do not yet have any indication in the debug info to
distinguish different floating-point formats of the same length, we simply
use the type name as hint. Types named "__float128" get the IEEE format.
In addition to handling "__float128" itself, we also recognize "_Float128"
and (on Power) "_Float64x", as well as the complex versions of those.
(As pointed out by Joseph Myers, starting with GCC 7, __float128 is just
a typedef for _Float128 -- but it's good to handle this anyway.)
A new test case does some simple verification that the format is decoded
correctly, using both __float128 and "long double" to make sure using both
in the same file still works. Another new test verifies handling of the
_FloatN and _FloatNx types supported by GCC 7, as well as the complex
versions of those types.
Note that this still only supports basic format decoding and encoding.
We do not yet support the GNU extension 'g' suffix for __float128 constants.
In addition, since all *arithmetic* on floating-point values is still
performed in native host "long double" arithmetic, if that format is not
able to encode all target __float128 values, we may get incorrect results.
(To fix this would require implementing fully synthetic target floating-
point arithmetic along the lines of GCC's real.c, presumably using MPFR.)

At this point, all TYPE_CODE_FLT types carry their floating-point format,
except for those creating from reading DWARF or stabs debug info. Those
will be addressed by this commit.
The main issue here is that we actually have to determine which floating-
point format to use. Currently, we only have the type length as input
to this decision. In the future, we may hopefully get --at least in
DWARF-- additional information to help disambiguate multiple different
formats of the same length. For now, we can still look at the type name
as a hint.
This decision logic is encapsulated in a gdbarch callback to allow
platform-specific overrides. The default implementation use the same
logic (compare type length against the various gdbarch_..._bit sizes)
that is currently implemented in floatformat_from_length.
With this commit, all platforms still use the default logic, so there
should be no actual change in behavior. A follow-on commit will add
support for __float128 on Intel and Power.
Once dwarf2read.c and stabsread.c make use of the new callback to
determine floating-point formats, we're now sure every TYPE_CODE_FLT
type will always carry its format. The commit therefore adds asserts
to verify_floatformat to ensure new code will continue to always
provide formats, and removes the code in floatformat_from_type that
used to handle types with a NULL TYPE_FLOATFORMAT.

Many callers of init_float_type and arch_float_type still pass a NULL
floatformat. This commit changes those callers where the floatformat
that is supposed to be use is obvious. There are two categories where
this is the case:
- A number of built-in types are intended to match the platform ABI
floating-point types (i.e. types that use gdbarch_float_bit etc.).
Those places should use the platform ABI floating-point formats
defined via gdbarch_float_format etc.
- A number of language built-in types should simply use IEEE floating-
point formats, since the language actually defines that this is the
format that must be used to implement floating-point types for this
language. (This affects Java, Go, and Rust.) The same applies for
to the predefined "RS/6000" stabs floating-point built-in types.

init_type (and arch_integer_type) currently use a special hack to set the
TYPE_NOSIGN flag if the type name is exactly "char". This commit moves the
hack up to the callers of those routines.
The special case currently can hit only for types created from dwarf2read,
but read_base_type actually implements the "char" check itself, so it is
redundant to do it in init_type as well. (Note that stabsread.c and the
other type readers always pass NULL as name to init_type, so the special
case can never hit for those.)
A few other cases create pre-definded types with a hard-coded name of "char";
the commit simply moves setting the TYPE_NOSIGN flag to those places.
No functional change intended.

This adds a number of helper routines for creating objfile-owned types;
these correspond 1:1 to the already existing helper routines for creating
gdbarch-owned types, and are intended to be used instead of init_type.
A shared fragment of init_float_type and arch_float_type is extracted into
a separate subroutine verify_subroutine.
The commit also brings the interface of init_type in line with the one for
arch_type. In particular, this means removing the FLAGS argument; callers
now set the required flags directly. (Since most callers use the new
helper routines, very few callers actually need to set any additional
flags directly any more.)
Note that this means all the TYPE_FLAGS_... defined are no longer needed
anywhere; they will be removed by a follow-on commit.
All users of init_type are changed to use on of the new helpers where
possible. No functional change intended.

Prior to the patch, addends for relocs were being adjusted even if
they went beyond an alignment boundary. This is wrong - to
preserve alignment constraints, the relaxation logic adds as many padding
bytes at the alignment boundary as was deleted, so addends beyond the
boundary should not be adjusted. avr-prop-7.s reproduces this
scenario.
Also, prior to this patch, the relaxation logic assumed that the addr
parameter pointed to the middle of the instruction to be deleted, and
that addr - count would therefore be the shrinked instruction's
address. This is true when actually shrinking instructions.
The alignment constraints handling logic also invokes the same logic
though, with addr as the starting offset of padding bytes and
with count as the number of bytes to be deleted. Calculating the
shrinked insn's address as addr - count is obviously wrong in this
case - that offset would point to count bytes before the last
non-padded byte. avr-prop-8.s reproduces this scenario.
To fix scenario 1, the patch adds an additional check to ensure reloc addends
aren't adjusted if they cross a shrink boundary. The shrink boundary
is either the section size or an alignment boundary. Addends pointing
at an alignment boundary don't need to be adjusted, as padding would
occur and keep the boundary the same. Addends pointing at section size
need to be adjusted though, as no padding occurs and the section size
itself would get decremented. The patch records whether padding
occured (did_pad) and uses that to detect and handle this condition.
To fix scenario 2, the patch adds an additional parameter
(delete_shrinks_insn) to elf32_avr_relax_delete_bytes to distinguish
instruction bytes deletion from padding bytes deletion. It then uses that to
correctly set shrinked_insn_address.

This fixes the problem exercised by Kevin's test at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-08/msg00216.html
This was originally exposed by the OpenJDK Python-based unwinder.
If an unwinder attempts to call parse_and_eval from within its
sniffing method, GDB's unwinding machinery enters infinite recursion.
However, parse_and_eval is a pretty reasonable thing to call, because
Python/Scheme-based unwinders will often need to read globals out of
inferior memory. The recursion happens because:
- get_current_frame() is called soon after the target stops.
- current_frame is NULL, and so we unwind it from the sentinel frame
(which is special and has level == -1).
- We reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, which does cycle detection
based on frame id, and thus tries to compute the frame id of the new
frame.
- Frame id computation requires an unwinder, so we go through all
unwinder sniffers trying to see if one accepts the new frame (the
current frame).
- the unwinder's sniffer calls parse_and_eval().
- parse_and_eval depends on the selected frame/block, and if not set
yet, the selected frame is set to the current frame.
- get_current_frame () is called again. current_frame is still NULL,
so ...
- recurse forever.
In Kevin's test at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-08/msg00216.html
gdb doesn't recurse forever simply because the Python unwinder
contains code to detect and stop the recursion itself. However, GDB
goes downhill from here, e.g., by showing the sentinel frame as
current frame (note the -1):
Breakpoint 1, ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
23 }
(gdb) bt
#-1 ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
That "-1" frame level comes from this:
if (catch_exceptions (current_uiout, unwind_to_current_frame,
sentinel_frame, RETURN_MASK_ERROR) != 0)
{
/* Oops! Fake a current frame? Is this useful? It has a PC
of zero, for instance. */
current_frame = sentinel_frame;
}
which is bogus. It's never correct to set the current frame to the
sentinel frame. The only reason this has survived so long is that
getting here normally indicates something wrong has already happened
before and we fix that. And this case is no exception -- it doesn't
really matter how precisely we managed to get to that bogus code (it
has to do with the the stash), because anything after recursion
happens is going to be invalid.
So the fix is to avoid the recursion in the first place.
Observations:
#1 - The recursion happens because we try to do cycle detection from
within get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle. That requires computing the
frame id of the frame being unwound, and that itself requires
calling into the unwinders.
#2 - But, the first time we're unwinding from the sentinel frame,
when we reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, there's no frame chain
at all yet:
- current_frame is NULL.
- the frame stash is empty.
Thus, there's really no need to do cycle detection the first time we
reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, when building the current frame.
So we can break the recursion by making get_current_frame call a
simplified version of get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle that results in
setting the current_frame global _before_ computing the current
frame's id.
But, we can go a little bit further. As there's really no reason
anymore to compute the current frame's frame id immediately, we can
defer computing it to when some caller of get_current_frame might need
it. This was actually how the frame id was computed for all frames
before the stash-based cycle detection was added. So in a way, this
patch reintroduces the lazy frame id computation, but unlike before,
only for the case of the current frame, which turns out to be special.
This lazyness, however, requires adjusting
gdb.python/py-unwind-maint.exp, because that assumes unwinders are
immediately called as side effect of some commands. I didn't see a
need to preserve the behavior expected by that test (all it would take
is call get_frame_id inside get_current_frame), so I adjusted the
test.

Currently gdb supports DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address, but not
DW_OP_form_tls_address. I think it would be better if the toolchain
as a whole moved to using the standard opcode, and the prerequisite to
this is getting gdb to recognize it.
GCC can sometimes emit DW_OP_form_tls_address for emultls targets. As
far as I know, nobody has ever tried this with gdb (since it wouldn't
work at all).
I don't think there's a major drawback to using a single opcode for
all targets, because computing the location of a thread-local is
already target specific.
This is PR gdb/11616.
I don't know how to write a test case for this; though it's worth
noting that there aren't explicit tests for DW_OP_GNU_push_tls_address

reinsert_breakpoint is used for software single step, so it is more
clear to rename it to single_step_breakpoint. This was pointed out in
the review https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-05/msg00429.html
I don't rename "other_breakpoint" in this patch.

We recently found a ARM kernel ptrace bug
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-May/431962.html
Details can be found in the comment in gdb_skip_float_test. We can
skip floating point tests if the kernel bug is detected.
This patch adds more code in gdb_skip_float_test to detect the broken
ptrace on arm-linux. Such detection should be done at the beginning
of the test, because it starts a fresh GDB, so change the test cases
to invoke gdb_skip_float_test at the beginning of test, and use its
return value afterwards.
Since gdb_skip_float_test becomes a gdb_caching_proc, so it can't
have an argument, this patch also removes argument "msg", which isn't
useful.

This commit moves the target_wait prototype from the GDB-specific
target.h header to the common target/target.h header. Then, it
creates a compatible implementation of target_wait on gdbserver using
the_target->wait, and adjusts the (only) caller (mywait function).
Pretty straightforward, no regressions introduced.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2016-09-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* target.c (mywait): Call target_wait instead of
the_target->wait.
(target_wait): New function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-09-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* target.c (target_wait): Mention that the function's prototype
can be found at target/target.h.
* target.h (target_wait): Move prototype from here...
* target/target.h (target_wait): ... to here.
This commit implements a new function, target_continue, on top of the
target_resume function. Then, it replaces all calls to target_resume
by calls to target_continue or to the already existing
target_continue_no_signal.
This is one of the (many) necessary steps needed to consolidate the
target interface between GDB and gdbserver. In particular, I am
interested in the impact this change will have on the unification of
the fork_inferior function (which I have been working on).
Tested on the BuildBot, no regressions introduced.

This patch fixes imbalanced lwp_suspend/unsuspend calls caused by the
premature choosing of another event for fairness.
select_event_lwp would switch the event before a call to
unsuspend_all_lwps, thus it would be called with the wrong event.
This caused an assertion failure: unsuspend LWP xx, suspended=-1 when
testing gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp with ARM range stepping in
GDBServer.
This patch moves the switch of event after the unsuspend/unstop calls.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 ARMv7 and x86.
With gdbserver-native.

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Move event switch after unsuspend_lwps.

* record-full.c (record_full_insert_breakpoint): Fix typo.
This patch adds a little more debug output, and replaces two variables
with one, tracking current max group size by group_size_ rather than
by has14_.
* powerpc.cc (class Stub_control): Delete stub14_group_size_
and has14_. Add group_size_.
(Stub_control::can_add_to_stub_group): Adjust to suit. Print
debug info when switching to adding sections before stubs.
Like 57f6d32d, this patch ensures that sections containing external
conditional branches limit the group size.
* elf64-ppc.c (group_sections): Delete stub14_group_size. Instead,
track max group size with a new "group_size" var that is reduced
by a factor of 1024 from the 24-bit branch size whenever a 14-bit
branch is seen.
ELF section sh_flags SHF_PPC_VLE was being set based on arch/mach,
which meant all code sections in an object file has the flag or all
lacked it. We can do better than that. Only those code sections
where VLE is enabled ought to have the flag, allowing an object file
to contain both VLE and non-VLE code.
Also, ELF header p_flags PF_PPC_VLE wasn't being set, and segments
were being split unnecessarily.
bfd/
* elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_section_processing): Delete.
(elf_backend_section_processing): Don't define.
(ppc_elf_modify_segment_map): Set p_flags and mark valid. Don't
split on non-exec sections differing in SHF_PPC_VLE. When
splitting segments, mark size invalid.
gas/
* config/tc-ppc.c (md_assemble): Set sh_flags for VLE. Test
ppc_cpu rather than calling ppc_mach to determine VLE mode.
(ppc_frag_check, ppc_handle_align): Likewise use ppc_cpu.
