There are multiple definitions of the private_thread_info structure
compiled in the same GDB build. Because of the one definition rule, we
need to change this if we want to be able to make them non-POD (e.g. use
std::vector fields). This patch creates a class hierarchy, with
private_thread_info being an abstract base class, and all the specific
implementations inheriting from it.
In order to poison XNEW/xfree for non-POD types, it is also needed to
get rid of the xfree in thread_info::~thread_info, which operates on an
opaque type. This is replaced by thread_info::priv now being a
unique_ptr, which calls the destructor of the private_thread_info
subclass when the thread is being destroyed.
Including gdbthread.h from darwin-nat.h gave these errors:
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbthread.h:609:3: error: must use 'class' tag to refer to type 'thread_info' in this scope
thread_info *m_thread;
^
class
/usr/include/mach/thread_act.h:240:15: note: class 'thread_info' is hidden by a non-type declaration of 'thread_info' here
kern_return_t thread_info
^
It turns out that there is a thread_info function in the Darwin/XNU/mach API:
http://web.mit.edu/darwin/src/modules/xnu/osfmk/man/thread_info.html
Therefore, I had to add the class keyword at a couple of places in gdbthread.h,
I don't really see a way around it.

This patch gets rid of catch_exceptions / catch_exceptions_with_msg.
The latter is done mostly by getting rid of the three remaining
vestigial libgdb wrapper functions, which are really pointless
nowadays. This results in a good number of simplifications.
(I checked that Insight doesn't use those functions.)
The gdb.mi/mi-pthreads.exp change is necessary because this actually
fixes a bug, IMO -- the patch stops MI's -thread-select causing output
on the CLI stream.
I.e., before:
-thread-select 123456789
&"Thread ID 123456789 not known.\n"
^error,msg="Thread ID 123456789 not known."
(gdb)
After:
-thread-select 123456789
^error,msg="Thread ID 123456789 not known."

This patch fixes an internal error exposed by a test that does
something like:
define kill-and-remove
kill inferiors 2
remove-inferiors 2
end
# Start one inferior.
start
# Start another inferior.
add-inferior 2
inferior 2
start
# Kill and remove inferior 1 while inferior 2 is selected.
thread apply 1.1 kill-and-remove
The internal error looks like this:
Thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2700 (LWP 20677)):
[Switching to inferior 1 [process 20677] (gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/threadapply/threadapply)]

src/gdb/inferior.c:66: internal-error: void set_current_inferior(inferior*): Assertion `inf != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/threadapply.exp: kill_and_remove_inferior: try kill-and-remove: thread apply 1.1 kill-and-remove (GDB internal error)
There are several problems around this area of the code. One is that
in do_restore_current_thread_cleanup, we do a look up of inferior by
ptid, which can find the wrong inferior if the previously selected
inferior exited and some other inferior was started with a reused pid
(rare, but still...).
The other problem is that the "remove-inferiors" command rejects
attempts to remove the current inferior, but when we get to
"remove-inferiors" in a "thread apply THR remove-inferiors 2" command,
the current inferior is the inferior of thread THR, not the previously
selected inferior, so if the previously selected inferior was inferior
2, that command still manages to wipe it, and then gdb restores the
old selected inferior, which is now a dangling pointer...
So the fix here is:
- Make make_cleanup_restore_current_thread store a pointer to the
previously selected inferior directly, and use it directly instead
of doing ptid look ups.
- Add a refcount to inferiors, very similar to thread_info's refcount,
that is incremented/decremented by
make_cleanup_restore_current_thread, and checked before deleting an
inferior. To avoid duplication, a new refcounted_object type is
added, that both thread_info and inferior inherit from.

This patch fixes the issue by deleting thread_info object if it is
deletable, otherwise, mark it as exited (by set_thread_exited).
Function set_thread_exited is shared from delete_thread_1. This patch
also moves field "refcount" to private and methods incref and
decref. Additionally, we stop using "ptid_t" in
"struct current_thread_cleanup" to reference threads, instead we use
"thread_info" directly. Due to this change, we don't need
restore_current_thread_ptid_changed anymore.

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.
With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly
selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs.
When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the
front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it
informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the
front-end.
This patch addresses PR gdb/20487.
In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds
a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The
idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition,
it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision
would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find
that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be
ill-named for that job.
Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the
frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of
the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events.
Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate:
thread
------
1. CLI command:
thread 1.3
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={...}
2. MI command:
-thread-select 3

--------
Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's
no way to select the inferior in pure MI.
1. CLI command:
inferior 2
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3"
Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited,
the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to
select, the =thread-selected event does not apply...
2. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
inferior 2
MI event/reply:
&"inferior 2\n"
~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]"
=thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...}
^done
Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress
notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c.
This means that it's now possible to use the
add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some
event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in
this patch.
The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract
the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is
also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user
already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is
not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the
event twice.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and
native-extended-gdbserver.

I noticed that if we step into an inline function, step_1 never
reaches proceed, and thus nevers sets the thread's
tp->control.command_interp. Because of that,
should_print_stop_to_console fails to determine that is should print
stop output to the console.
The fix is to set the thread's command_interp earlier. However, I
realized that we can move that field to the thread_fsm, given that its
lifetime is exactly the same as thread_fsm. So the patch plumbs all
fsms constructors to take the command interp and store it in the
thread_fsm.
We can see the fix in action, with e.g., the gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp
test, and issuing a step when stopped at line 67:

(The inline-cmds.exp command is adjusted to exercise this.)
(Due to the follow_fork change, this also fixes "next N" across a fork
with "set follow-fork child" with "set detach-on-fork on". Commands
that rely on internal breakpoints, like "finish" will still require
more work to migrate breakpoints etc. to the child thread.)

This commit changes GDB like this:
- Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
+ Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
- Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
+ Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html
This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:

Breakpoint 1, thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:87

The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.
It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":
...
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...
The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.
I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in
"Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"
but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.

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

...
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,.:

This commit merges both the registers and $_siginfo "thread
running/executing" checks into a single function.
Accessing $_siginfo from a "catch signal" breakpoint condition doesn't
work. The condition always fails with "Selected thread is running":
(gdb) catch signal
Catchpoint 3 (standard signals)
(gdb)
condition $bpnum $_siginfo.si_signo == 5
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Error in testing breakpoint condition:
Selected thread is running.
Catchpoint 3 (signal SIGUSR1), 0x0000003615e35877 in __GI_raise (sig=10) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56
56 return INLINE_SYSCALL (tgkill, 3, pid, selftid, sig);
(gdb)
When accessing the $_siginfo object, we check whether the thread is
marked running (external/public) state and refuse the access if so.
This is so "print $_siginfo" at the prompt fails nicelly when the
current thread is running. While evaluating breakpoint conditionals,
we haven't decided yet whether the thread is going to stop, so
is_running still returns true, and we thus always error out.
Evaluating an expression that requires registers access is really
conceptually the same -- we could think of $_siginfo as a pseudo
register. However, in that case we check whether the thread is marked
executing (internal/private state), not running (external/public
state). Changing the $_siginfo validation to check is_executing as
well fixes the bug in question.
Note that checking is_executing is not fully correct, not even for
registers. See PR 19389. However, I think this is the lesser of two
evils and ends up as an improvement. We at least now have a single
place to fix.
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

This is the first pass at implementing support for all-stop mode
running against the remote target using the non-stop variant of the
protocol.
The trickiest part here is the initial connection setup/synching. We
need to fetch all inferiors' target descriptions etc. before stopping
threads, because stop_all_threads needs to read the threads' registers
(to record each thread's stop_pc). But OTOH, the initial inferior
setup (target_post_attach, post_create_inferior, etc.), only works
correctly if the inferior is stopped... So I've split that initial
setup part from attach_command_post_wait to a separate function, and
added a "still needs setup" flag to the inferior structure. This is
similar to gdbserver/linux-low.c's handling of discovering the
process's target description). Then if on connection all threads of
the remote inferior are running, when we go about stopping them, as
soon as they stop we call setup_inferior, from within
stop_all_threads.
Also, in all-stop, we need to process all the initial stop replies to
learn about all the pending signal the threads may already be stopped
for, and pick the one to report as current. This is exposed by
gdb.threads/reconnect-signal.exp.

This adds an object oriented replacement for the "struct continuation"
mechanism, and converts the stepping commands (step, next, stepi,
nexti) and the "finish" commands to use it.
It adds a new thread "class" (struct thread_fsm) that contains the
necessary info and callbacks to manage the state machine of a thread's
execution command.
This allows getting rid of some hacks. E.g., in fetch_inferior_event
and normal_stop we no longer need to know whether a thread is doing a
multi-step (e.g., step N). This effectively makes the
intermediate_continuations unused -- they'll be garbage collected in a
separate patch. (They were never a proper abstraction, IMO. See how
fetch_inferior_event needs to check step_multi before knowing whether
to call INF_EXEC_CONTINUE or INF_EXEC_COMPLETE.)
The target async vs !async uiout hacks in mi_on_normal_stop go away
too.
print_stop_event is no longer called from normal_stop. Instead it is
now called from within each interpreter's normal_stop observer. This
clears the path to make each interpreter print a stop event the way it
sees fit. Currently we have some hacks in common code to
differenciate CLI vs TUI vs MI around this area.
The "finish" command's FSM class stores the return value plus that
value's position in the value history, so that those can be printed to
both MI and CLI's streams. This fixes the CLI "finish" command when
run from MI -- it now also includes the function's return value in the
CLI stream:

That is, step past breakpoints by:
- pausing all threads
- removing breakpoint at PC
- single-step
- reinsert breakpoint
- restart threads
similarly to all-stop (with displaced stepping disabled). This allows
non-stop to work on targets/architectures without displaced stepping
support. That is, it makes displaced stepping an optimization instead
of a requirement. For example, in principle, all GNU/Linux ports
support non-stop mode at the target_ops level, but not all
corresponding gdbarch's implement displaced stepping. This should
make non-stop work for all (albeit, not as efficiently). And then
there are scenarios where even if the architecture supports displaced
stepping, we can't use it, because we e.g., don't find a usable
address to use as displaced step scratch pad. It should also fix
stepping past watchpoints on targets that have non-continuable
watchpoints in non-stop mode (e.g., PPC, untested). Running the
instruction out of line in the displaced stepping scratch pad doesn't
help that case, as the copied instruction reads/writes the same
watched memory... We can fix that too by teaching GDB to only remove
the watchpoint from the thread that we want to move past the
watchpoint (currently, removing a watchpoint always removes it from
all threads), but again, that can be considered an optimization; not
all targets would support it.
For those familiar with the gdb and gdbserver Linux target_ops
backends, the implementation should look similar, except it is done on
the core side. When we pause threads, we may find they stop with an
interesting event that should be handled later when the thread is
re-resumed, thus we store such events in the thread object, and mark
the event as pending. We should only consume pending events if the
thread is indeed resumed, thus we add a new "resumed" flag to the
thread object. At a later stage, we might add new target methods to
accelerate some of this, like "pause all threads", with corresponding
RSP packets, but we'd still need a fallback method for remote targets
that don't support such packets, so, again, that can be deferred as
optimization.
My _real_ motivation here is making it possible to reimplement
all-stop mode on top of the target always working on non-stop mode, so
that e.g., we can send RSP packets to a remote target even while the
target is running -- can't do that in the all-stop RSP variant, by
design).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "set displaced off"
forced. The latter forces the new code paths whenever GDB needs to
step past a breakpoint.

The main motivation of this patch is sharing more code between the
proceed (starting the inferior for the first time) and keep_going
(restarting the inferior after handling an event) paths and using the
step_over_chain queue now embedded in the thread_info object for
pending in-line step-overs too (instead of just for displaced
stepping).
So this commit:
- splits out a new keep_going_pass_signal function out of keep_going
that is just like keep_going except for the bits that clear the
signal to pass if the signal is set to "handle nopass".
- makes proceed use keep_going too.
- Makes start_step_over use keep_going_pass_signal instead of lower
level displaced stepping things.
One user visible change: if inserting breakpoints while trying to
proceed fails, we now get:
(gdb) si
Warning:
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 7.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.

while before we only saw warnings with no indication that the command

In order to teach non-stop mode to do in-line step-overs (pause all
threads, remove breakpoint, single-step, reinsert breakpoint, restart
threads), we'll need to be able to queue in-line step over requests,
much like we queue displaced stepping (out-of-line) requests.
Actually, the queue should be the same -- threads wait for their turn
to step past something (breakpoint, watchpoint), doesn't matter what
technique we end up using when the step over actually starts.
I found that the queue management ends up simpler and more efficient
if embedded in the thread objects themselves. This commit converts
the existing displaced stepping queue to that. Later patches will
make the in-line step-overs code paths use it too.

On GNU/Linux, if the running kernel supports clone events, then
linux-thread-db.c defers thread listing to the target beneath:
static void
thread_db_update_thread_list (struct target_ops *ops)
{
...
if (target_has_execution && !thread_db_use_events ())
ops->beneath->to_update_thread_list (ops->beneath);
else
thread_db_update_thread_list_td_ta_thr_iter (ops);
...
}
However, when live debugging, the target beneath, linux-nat.c, does
not implement the to_update_thread_list method. The result is that if
a thread is marked exited (because it can't be deleted right now,
e.g., it was the selected thread), then it won't ever be deleted,
until the process exits or is killed/detached.
A similar thing happens with the remote.c target. Because its
target_update_thread_list implementation skips exited threads when it
walks the current thread list looking for threads that no longer exits
on the target side, using ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, stale exited
threads are never deleted.
This is not a big deal -- I can't think of any way this might be user
visible, other than gdb's memory growing a tiny bit whenever a thread
gets stuck in exited state. Still, might as well clean things up
properly.
All other targets use prune_threads, so are unaffected.
The fix adds a ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro, that like
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, walks the thread list and allows deleting
the iterated thread, and uses that in places that are walking the
thread list in order to delete threads. Actually, after converting
linux-nat.c and remote.c to use this, we find the only other user of
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE is also walking the list to delete
threads. So we convert that too, and end up deleting
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE.

Currently, "set scheduler-locking step" is a bit odd. The manual
documents it as being optimized for stepping, so that focus of
debugging does not change unexpectedly, but then it says that
sometimes other threads may run, and thus focus may indeed change
unexpectedly... A user can then be excused to get confused and wonder
why does GDB behave like this.
I don't think a user should have to know about details of how "next"
or whatever other run control command is implemented internally to
understand when does the "scheduler-locking step" setting take effect.
This patch completes a transition that the code has been moving
towards for a while. It makes "set scheduler-locking step" hold
threads depending on whether the _command_ the user entered was a
stepping command [step/stepi/next/nexti], or not.
Before, GDB could end up locking threads even on "continue" if for
some reason run control decides a thread needs to be single stepped
(e.g., for a software watchpoint).
After, if a "continue" happens to need to single-step for some reason,
we won't lock threads (unless when stepping over a breakpoint,
naturally). And if a stepping command wants to continue a thread for
bit, like when skipping a function to a step-resume breakpoint, we'll
still lock threads, so focus of debugging doesn't change.
In order to make this work, we need to record in the thread structure
whether what set it running was a stepping command.
(A follow up patch will remove the "step" parameters of 'proceed' and 'resume')
FWIW, Fedora GDB, which defaults to "scheduler-locking step" (mainline
defaults to "off") carries a different patch that goes in this
direction as well.

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.

downstream Fedora request:
Please make it easier to find the backtrace of the crashing thread
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1024504
Currently after loading a core file GDB prints:
Core was generated by `./threadcrash1'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
8 *(volatile int *)0=0;
(gdb) _
there is nowhere seen which of the threads had crashed. In reality GDB always
numbers that thread as #1 and it is the current thread that time. But after
dumping all the info into a file for later analysis it is no longer obvious.
'thread apply all bt' even puts the thread #1 to the _end_ of the output!!!
Should GDB always print after loading a core file what "thread" command would
print?
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7fcbe28fe700 (LWP 15453))]
BTW I think it will print the thread even when loading single/non-threaded
core file when other inferior(s) exist. But that currently crashes

TL;DR - if we step an instruction that is as long as
decr_pc_after_break (1-byte on x86) right after removing the
breakpoint at PC, in non-stop mode, adjust_pc_after_break adjusts the
PC, but it shouldn't.
In non-stop mode, when a breakpoint is removed, it is moved to the
"moribund locations" list. This is because other threads that are
running may have tripped on that breakpoint as well, and we haven't
heard about it. When a trap is reported, we check if perhaps it was
such a deleted breakpoint that caused the trap. If so, we also need
to adjust the PC (decr_pc_after_break).
Now, say that, on x86:
- a breakpoint was placed at an address where we have an instruction
of the same length as decr_pc_after_break on this arch (1 on x86).
- the breakpoint is removed, and thus put on the moribund locations
list.
- the thread is single-stepped.
As there's no breakpoint inserted at PC anymore, the single-step
actually executes the 1-byte instruction normally. GDB should _not_
adjust the PC for the resulting SIGTRAP. But, adjust_pc_after_break
confuses the step SIGTRAP reported for this single-step as being a
SIGTRAP for the moribund location of the breakpoint that used to be at
the previous PC, and so infrun applies the decr_pc_after_break
adjustment incorrectly.
The confusion comes from the special case mentioned in the comment:
static void
adjust_pc_after_break (struct execution_control_state *ecs)
{
...
As a special case, we could have hardware single-stepped a
software breakpoint. In this case (prev_pc == breakpoint_pc),
we also need to back up to the breakpoint address. */
if (thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (ecs->event_thread)
|| !ptid_equal (ecs->ptid, inferior_ptid)
|| !currently_stepping (ecs->event_thread)
|| (ecs->event_thread->stepped_breakpoint
&& ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc))
regcache_write_pc (regcache, breakpoint_pc);
The condition that incorrectly triggers is the
"ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc" one.
Afterwards, the next resume resume re-executes an instruction that had
already executed, which if you're lucky, results in the inferior
crashing. If you're unlucky, you'll get silent bad behavior...
The fix is to remember that we stepped a breakpoint. Turns out the
only case we step a breakpoint instruction today isn't covered by the
testsuite. It's the case of a 'handle nostop" signal arriving while a
step is in progress _and_ we have a software watchpoint, which forces
always single-stepping. This commit extends sigstep.exp to cover
that, and adds a new test for the adjust_pc_after_break issue.

* 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

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.

When GDB finds out the target triggered a watchpoint, and the target
has non-continuable watchpoints, GDB sets things up to step past the
instruction that triggered the watchpoint. This is just like stepping
past a breakpoint, but goes through a different mechanism - it resumes
only the thread that needs to step past the watchpoint, but also
switches a "infwait state" global, that has the effect that the next
target_wait only wait for events only from that thread.
This forcing of a ptid to pass to target_wait obviously becomes a
bottleneck if we ever support stepping past different watchpoints
simultaneously (in separate processes).
It's also unnecessary -- the target should only return events for
threads that have been resumed; if no other thread than the one we're
stepping past the watchpoint has been resumed, then those other
threads should not report events. If we couldn't assume that, then
stepping past regular breakpoints would be broken for not likewise
forcing a similar infwait_state.
So this patch eliminates infwait_state, and instead teaches keep_going
to mark step_over_info in a way that has the breakpoints module skip
inserting watchpoints (because we're stepping past one), like it skips
breakpoints when we're stepping past one.
Tested on:
- x86_64 Fedora 20 (continuable watchpoints)
- PPC64 Fedora 18 (non-steppable watchpoints)

Commit a25a5a45 (Fix "breakpoint always-inserted off"; remove
"breakpoint always-inserted auto") regressed non-stop remote
debugging.
This was exposed by mi-nsintrall.exp intermittently failing with a
spurious SIGTRAP.
The problem is that when debugging with "target remote", new threads
the target has spawned but have never reported a stop aren't visible
to GDB until it explicitly resyncs its thread list with the target's.
For example, in a program like this:
int
main (void)
{
pthread_t child_thread;
pthread_create (&child_thread, NULL, child_function, NULL);
return 0; <<<< set breakpoint here
}
If the user sets a breakpoint at the "return" statement, and runs the
program, when that breakpoint hit is reported, GDB is only aware of
the main thread. So if we base the decision to remove or insert
breakpoints from the target based on whether all the threads we know
about are stopped, we'll miss that child_thread is running, and thus
we'll remove breakpoints from the target, even through they should
still remain inserted, otherwise child_thread will miss them.
The break-while-running.exp test actually should also be exposing this
thread-list-out-of-synch problem. That test sets a breakpoint while
the main thread is stopped, but other threads are running. Because
other threads are running, the breakpoint is supposed to be inserted
immediately. But, unless something forces a refetch of the thread
list, like, e.g., "info threads", GDB won't be aware of the other
threads that had been spawned by the main thread, and so won't insert
new or old breakpoints in the target. And it turns out that the test
is exactly doing an explicit "info threads", masking out the
problem... This commit adjust the test to exercise the case of not
issuing "info threads". The test then fails without the GDB fix.
In the ni-nsintrall.exp case, what happens is that several threads hit
the same breakpoint, and when the first thread reports the stop,
because GDB wasn't aware other threads exist, all threads known to GDB
are found stopped, so GDB removes the breakpoints from the target.
The other threads follow up with SIGTRAPs too for that same
breakpoint, which has already been removed. For the first few
threads, the moribund breakpoints machinery suppresses the SIGTRAPs,
but after a few events (precisely '3 * thread_count () + 1' at the
time the breakpoint was removed, see update_global_location_list), the
moribund breakpoint machinery is no longer aware of the removed
breakpoint, and the SIGTRAP is reported as a spurious stop.
The fix is naturally then to stop assuming that if no thread in the
list is executing, then the target is fully stopped. We can't know
that until we fully sync the thread list. Because updating the thread
list on every stop would be too much RSP traffic, I chose instead to
update it whenever we're about to present a stop to the user.
Actually updating the thread list at that point happens to be an item
I had added to the local/remote parity wiki page a while ago:
Native GNU/Linux debugging adds new threads to the thread list as
the program creates them "The [New Thread foo] messages". Remote
debugging can't do that, and it's arguable whether we shouldn't even
stop native debugging from doing that, as it hinders inferior
performance. However, a related issue is that with remote targets
(and gdbserver), even after the program stops, the user still needs
to do "info threads" to pull an updated thread list. This, should
most likely be addressed, so that GDB pulls the list itself, perhaps
just before presenting a stop to the user.
With that in place, the need to delay "Program received signal FOO"
was actually caught by the manythreads.exp test. Without that bit, I
was getting:
[Thread 0x7ffff7f13700 (LWP 4499) exited]
[New Thread 0x7ffff7f0b700 (LWP 4500)]

__GI___nptl_death_event () at events.c:31
31 {
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/manythreads.exp: stop threads 1
That is, I was now getting "New Thread" lines after the "Program
received signal" line, and the test doesn't expect them. As the
number of new threads discovered before and after the "Program
received signal" output is unbounded, it's much nicer to defer
"Program received signal" until after synching the thread list, thus
close to the "switching to thread" output and "current frame/source"

A patch I wrote made GDB pull the thread list sooner when debugging
with target remote, and I noticed an intended consequence. GDB
started bouncing around the currently selected remote/general thread
more frequently. E.g.:

This ended up breaking "tstart" when one has fast tracepoints set,
because gdbserver isn't expecting an Hg packet in response to
qRelocInsn:

remote_trace_start should probably start by making sure the remote
current thread matches inferior_ptid (calling set_general_thread), but
still, reducing unnecessary bouncing is a good idea. It happens
because the memory/symbol/breakpoint routines use
switch_to_program_space_and_thread to do something in the right
context and then revert back to the previously current thread.
The fix is to simply make any_thread_of_process,
find_inferior_for_program_space, etc. give preference to the current
thread/inferior it if matches.

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.
