The reasons for not supporting task switching when debugging core files
appear to now mostly be OBE. In particular, on GNU/Linux, the thread
layer is now able to retrieve the same thread info as in the live
process. So, this patch is mostly about just removing the guard
that limited the use of task switching to live processes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (read_atcb): Properly set task_info->ptid
when !target_has_execution as well.
(task_command): Remove error when !target_has_execution.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/task_switch_in_core: New testcase.
Trying to debug a program using a stripped version of the ravenscar
runtime, we can get the following error:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Cannot find Ada_Task_Control_Block type. Aborting
This is because the ravenscar-thread layer makes the assumption that
the runtime is built the way we expect it, meaning that the Ada tasking
units we rely on for Ada tasking debugging, are built with debugging
information, and that this debug information has not been stripped from
the runtime.
When this assumption is not true, resuming such a program can trigger
the error above, which then leads GDB a little confused. For instance,
we can see things like:
(gdb) bt
Target is executing.
This patch fixes the issue by disabling the ravenscar thread layer
if we detect that the runtime is missing some of the debugging info
we need in order to support Ada task debugging. This is the best
we can do, as the ravenscar-thread layer actually depends on the
ada-tasks layer to implement thread debugging.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (ada_get_tcb_types_info): Add declaration.
* ada-tasks.c (ada_get_tcb_types_info): Renames get_tcb_types_info.
Make non-static. Change return type to char *. Adjust code
accordingly. Rewrite the function's documentation.
(read_atcb): Adjust call to get_tcb_types_info accordingly.
* ravenscar-thread.c (ravenscar_inferior_created): Check that
we have enough debugging information in the runtime to support
Ada task debugging before we enable the ravenscar-thread layer.
This patch reworks the ravenscar-thread layer to remove the
assumption that the target only has 1 CPU. In particular,
when connected to a QEMU target over the remote protocol,
QEMU reports each CPU as one thread. This patch adapts
the ravenscar-thread layer to this, and adds a large comment
explaining the general design of this unit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (ada_get_task_info_from_ptid): Add declaration.
* ada-tasks.c (ada_get_task_info_from_ptid): New function.
* ravenscar-thread.c: Add into comment.
(base_magic_null_ptid): Delete.
(base_ptid): Change documentation.
(ravenscar_active_task): Renames ravenscar_running_thread.
All callers updated throughout.
(is_ravenscar_task, ravenscar_get_thread_base_cpu): New function.

(ravenscar_update_inferior_ptid): Adjust to handle multiple CPUs.
(ravenscar_runtime_initialized): Likewise.
(get_running_thread_id): Add new parameter "cpu". Adjust
implementation to handle this new parameter.
(ravenscar_fetch_registers): Small adjustment to use
is_ravenscar_task and ravenscar_task_is_currently_active in
order to decide whether to use the target beneath or this
module's arch_ops.
(ravenscar_store_registers, ravenscar_prepare_to_store): Likewise.
(ravenscar_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint): Use
get_base_thread_from_ravenscar_task to get the underlying
thread, rather than using base_ptid.
(ravenscar_stopped_by_hw_breakpoint, ravenscar_stopped_by_watchpoint)
(ravenscar_stopped_data_address, ravenscar_core_of_thread):
Likewise.
(ravenscar_inferior_created): Do not set base_magic_null_ptid.
At the user level, this patch enhances the debugger to print the ID
of the base CPU a task is running on:
(gdb) info task 3
Ada Task: 0x13268
Name: raven1
Thread: 0x13280
LWP: 0
!!!-> Base CPU: 1
No parent
Base Priority: 127
State: Runnable
This new field is only printed when the base CPU is nonzero or, in
other words, if the base CPU info is being provided by the runtime.
For instance, on native systems, where threads/processes can "jump"
from CPU to CPU, the info is not available, and the output of the
command above then remains unchanged.
At the internal level, the real purpose of this change is to prepare
the way for ravenscar-thread to start handling SMP systems. For that,
we'll need to know which CPU each task is running on... More info
on that in the commit that actually adds support for it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (struct ada_task_info) <base_cpu>: New field.
* ada-lang.c (struct atcb_fieldno) <base_cpu>: New field.
(get_tcb_types_info): Set fieldnos.base_cpu.
(read_atcb): Set task_info->base_cpu.
(info_task): Print "Base CPU" info if set by runtime.
This introduces ui_out_emit_table, similar to the other existing
ui_out RAII classes, and then uses it in a number of places. This
replaces some cleanups.

This patch changes various places to use ui_out_emit_tuple,

cases, which are ones where the cleanups in question were
block-structured and did not involve any changes other than the
obvious replacement.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
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
Id Target Id Frame
1.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6022) "threads" (running)
1.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
1.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)
2.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1700 (LWP 6037) "threads" (running)
2.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6038) "threads" (running)
* 2.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6039) "threads" (running)
(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
Num Description Executable
* 1 process 15275 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads

As Pedro suggested on gdb-patches@ (see
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00714.html), this
change makes symbol lookup functions return a structure that includes
both the symbol found and the block in which it was found. This makes
it possible to get rid of the block_found global variable and thus makes
block hunting explicit.

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.

The issue is that print_stack_frame always sets the current sal to the
frame's sal. print_frame_info (which print_stack_frame calls to do
most of the work) also sets the last displayed sal, but only if
print_what isn't LOCATION. Now the call in question, from within
thread.c:print_thread_info, does pass in LOCATION as print_what, but
print_stack_frame doesn't have the same check print_frame_info has.
We could consider adding it, but setting these globals depending on
print_what isn't very clean, IMO. What we have is two logically
distinct operations mixed in the same function(s):
#1 - print frame, in the format specified by {print_what,
print_level and print_args}.
#2 - We're displaying a frame to the user, and I want the default
sal to point here, because the program stopped here, or the user
did some context-changing command (up, down, etc.).
So I added a new parameter to print_stack_frame & friends for point
#2, and went through all calls in the tree adjusting as necessary.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

When using the new -ada-task-info command with an argument,
the output would say that there are N entries in the returned
table, (where N is the total number of tasks present in the inferior).
But, in fact, the table would only contain at most 1 entry.
This patch fixes this by properly computing the number of
tasks being displayed before giving it to the uiout.

* gdb.ada/mi_task_info.exp: New file.
This patch enhances the -ada-task-info command, adding a new
field called "thread-id" in the command output. This field
provides the ID of the task's corresponding thread (if that
information could not be determined, the field is omitted).
This field is useful in the context of GDB/MI users, because
it allows a quick translation from Ada task to thread, and
thus easy use of all the commands that take a --thread argument.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (print_ada_task_info): Add "thread-id" field
in output of -ada-task-info GDB/MI command.
This patch introduces a new GDB/MI command: -ada-tasks-info,
which is meant to be the MI equivalent of the CLI `info tasks'
command.
This new command returns an array, with each row corresponding
to one task. For now, the columns of the array corresponds to
the columns displayed in the CLI output.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (struct inferior): Declare.
(print_ada_task_info): Add declaration.
* ada-tasks.c (print_ada_task_info): Make non-static.
* mi/mi-cmds.c (mi_cmds): Add "ada-task-info".
* mi/mi-cmds.h (mi_cmd_ada_task_info): Add declaration.
* mi/mi-main.c: #include "ada-lang.h".
(mi_cmd_list_features): Add "ada-task-info" to the list

(mi_cmd_ada_task_info): New function.
This is in preparation for providing a GDB/MI equivalent of
the `info tasks' command. The previous implementation was using
various printf commands to generate the command output, which
does not work at all if we want to use that same code to generate
the result for that new GDB/MI command.
This patch thus re-implements the `info tasks' command (with no
arguments) in a way that makes it GDB/MI friendly.
There is an additional hicup, which is the fact that the `info tasks'
command displays a completely different type of output when a task
ID is given. For instance:
(gdb) info task 2
Ada Task: 0x644d20
Name: my_callee
Thread: 0
LWP: 0x5809
Parent: 1 (main_task)
Base Priority: 48
State: Blocked in accept or select with terminate
The above output is better when in CLI mode, but really not
what we want when in GDB/MI mode. In GDB/MI mode, we want to
follow what the `-thread-info' command does when a task-id
is given as an argument, which is to produce the same table,
but with only one element/task in it.
For compatibility as well as practical reasons, we do not want
to change the output of the `info task TASKNO' command when in
CLI mode. But it's easy to preserve this behavior while providing
the desirable output when in GDB/MI mode. For this, the function
used to generated the `info tasks' output has been enhanced to take
an argument interpreted as a string. The CLI command knows to never
provide that argument, while the GDB/MI command will pass one if
provided by the user.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (print_ada_task_info): New function, merging
short_task_info and info_tasks together. Reimplement using
ui-out instead of printing to stdout directly. Move the code
building and checking the task list here, instead of leaving it
in info_tasks_command.
(info_task): Move the code building and checking the task
list here, instead of leaving it in info_tasks_command.
(info_tasks_command): Delete code building and checking

and info_task.
One of the minor changes the switch caused is the introduction
of a space between the "current" column, and the task "ID"
column, which wasn't there before. This matches what we do
in the "info threads" command, so I kept that change. This
required an adjustment in the testsuite, however...
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/tasks.exp: Make the expected output for
the `info tasks' tests more resilient to spacing
changes.
Originally, this function had a parameter called `warn_if_null'
which would trigger a message to be printed on stdout if the
program was found to not use Ada tasking. It used one of the printf_
functions for that, which is wrong when considering the context of
GDB/MI interpreters.
So, this patch changes this function to stop printing the message,
and leaves that part to the callers instead. It also changes the
semantics slightly to return the number of tasks found, rather than
a yes/no answer. Not strictly needed, but simple enough to do, and
potentially useful later.

Instead of storing "the" Ada task list using a static global

per-inferior data.
We also add in the per-inferior data the location and type of
data used in the runtime to store that task list. Previously,
this information was saved as a static variable in one of the
functions, but this approach has the major flaw that it does
not handle multi-inferior debugging.

The mapping between Ada tasks, and the underlying threads is
normally maintained by the GNAT runtime under the known_tasks
array. For performance reasons, this array is just a static
array with 10_000 entries in it. However, this is not very
practical in certain environments where memory is limited.
For those environments, the runtime has been enhanced to use
an alternate scheme with a linked list.
This change enhances the Ada tasking support to recognize this
situation and use the correct way of reading the tasks info
based on the the situation.
