This patch removes the "readin" and "compunit_symtab" members from
partial_symtab, replacing them with methods. Then it introduces a new
"standard_psymtab" class, which restores these members; and changes
the symbol readers to use this intermediate class as the base class of
their partial symtab subclasses.
The reason for this is to make it possible for a symbol reader to
implement an alternate mapping between partial and full symbol tables.
This is important in order to be able to share psymtabs across
objfiles -- whether a psymtab has been "readin" is objfile-dependent,
as are the pointers to the full symbol tables.

Most of the symbol readers have code to iterate over a partial symtabs
dependencies, expanding each one and optionally printing a message.
Now that the "second-stage" psymtab expansion is available as a
method, these implementations can all be merged.
This patch also changes a couple more warnings into assertions.

The symbol readers generally used two functions to expand a partial
symtab: an outer function (now the "read_symtab" method), and an inner
function, typically named something like "psymtab_to_symtab".
This patch changes this second step to be a method on partial_symtab,
and updates all the callers. For legacy_psymtab, a new function
pointer member is introduced.
This patch enables a subsequent cleanup.

Each symbol reader implemented its own "Reading..." messages, and most
of them double-checked that a previously-expanded psymtab could not be
re-read.

This introduces a new partial_symtab::read_symtab method, and updates
the symbol readers to subclass partial_symtab and implement this
method. The old read_symtab and read_symtab_private members are
removed.
In practice, only DWARF and CTF are truly updated to take advantage of
the new setup. The other symbol readers are less actively maintained,
and so this patch also introduces a "legacy_psymtab", which
essentially works the same way as the old partial_symtab.
(Note that, without more knowledge of the interaction between these
symbol readers, fixing this to remove the new (small) overhead is not
trivial, because these readers copy the read_symtab pointer between
partial symtabs.)

This is the next step in getting the symbol readers to allocate
psymtabs themselves: change allocate_psymtab to be an ordinary
constructor, and then use "new" at the previous call sites. Note that

allocating a partial symtab.

Currently, partial symbol tables are allocated by a method in
psymtab_storage. However, eventually we want to subclass partial
symtabs in the symbol readers, so the calls to "new" will have to
happen there. This patch is a first step, moving the allocation from
psymtab_storage and into allocate_psymtab.

From what I can tell, The m68k floating point target feature should
apparently always be called "org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.fp" -- even when the
primary feature is not "coldfire", because m68k_gdbarch_init only
checks for this feature when assigning register numbers.
However, the floating point registers are expected to match what gdb
thinks are the register sizes for the primary feature. For example,
if the main feature is "coldfire", then the floating point registers
should be 64 bits.
See this note for some an instance of this confusion:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-06/msg04564.html
This patch documents the oddity.
Let me know what you think. An alternate approach here might be to
make gdb adapt to the register sizes as actually reported. I'm not
sure if this makes sense or not.

* gdb.base/attach.exp: Test 'set exec-file-mismatch'.
This option allows to tell GDB to detect and possibly handle mismatched exec-files.
A recurrent problem with GDB is that GDB uses the wrong exec-file
when using the attach/detach commands successively.
Also, in case the user specifies a file on the command line but attaches
to the wrong PID, this error is not made visible and gives a not user
understandable behaviour.
For example:

(in this case, 31069 is the PID of a GDB, that has nothing to do

This patch series implements a new option:

show exec-file-mismatch -- Show exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
(gdb) help set exec-file-mismatch
Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off).
Specifies how to handle a mismatch between the current exec-file name
loaded by GDB and the exec-file name automatically determined when attaching
to a process:
ask - warn the user and ask whether to load the determined exec-file.
warn - warn the user, but do not change the exec-file.
off - do not check for mismatch.
"ask" means: in case of mismatch between the current exec-file name
and the automatically determined exec-file name of the PID we are attaching to,
give a warning to the user and ask whether to load the automatically determined
exec-file.
"warn" means: in case of mismatch, just give a warning to the user.
"off" means: do not check for mismatch.
This fixes PR gdb/17626.
There was a previous trial to fix this PR.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00118.html
This trial was however only fixing the problem for the automatically
determined executable files when doing attach.
It was differentiating the 'user specified executable files' ("sticky")
from the executable files automatically found by GDB.
But such user specified sticky executables are in most cases due
to a wrong manipulation by the user, giving unexpected results
such as backtrace showing no function like in the above example.
This patch ensures that whenever a process executable can be
determined, that the user is warned if there is a mismatch.
The same tests as above then give:

In other words, it now works as intuitively expected by the user.
If ever the user gave the correct executable on the command line,
then attached to the wrong pid, then confirmed loading the wrong executable,
the user can simply fix this by detaching, and attaching to the correct pid,
GDB will then tell again to the user that the exec-file might better
be loaded.
The default value of "ask" is chosen instead of e.g. "warn" as in most
cases, switching of executable will be the correct action,
and in any case, the user can decide to not load the executable,
as GDB asks a confirmation to the user to load the new executable.
For settings "ask" and "warn", the new function validate_exec_file ()
tries to get the inferior pid exec file and compares it with the current
exec file. In case of mismatch, it warns the user and optionally load
the executable.
This function is called in the attach_command implementation to cover
most cases of attaching to a running process.
It must also be called in remote.c, as the attach command is not supported
for all types of remote gdbserver.

This commit improves GDB's handling of inline functions when there are
more than one inline function in a stack, so for example if we have a
stack like:
main -> aaa -> bbb -> ccc -> ddd
And aaa, bbb, and ccc are all inline within main GDB should (when
given sufficient debug information) be able to step from main through
aaa, bbb, and ccc. Unfortunately, this currently doesn't work, here's
an example session:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4003b0: file test.c, line 38.
Starting program: /project/gdb/tests/inline/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:38
38 global_var = 0;
(gdb) step
39 return aaa () + 1;
(gdb) step
aaa () at test.c:39
39 return aaa () + 1;
(gdb) step
bbb () at test.c:39
39 return aaa () + 1;
(gdb) step
ccc () at test.c:39
39 return aaa () + 1;
(gdb) step
ddd () at test.c:32
32 return global_var;
(gdb) bt
#0 ddd () at test.c:32
#1 0x00000000004003c1 in ccc () at test.c:39
#2 bbb () at test.c:26
#3 aaa () at test.c:14
#4 main () at test.c:39
Notice that once we get to line 39 in main, GDB keeps reporting line
39 in main as the location despite understanding that the inferior is
stepping through the nested inline functions with each use of step.
The problem is that as soon as the inferior stops we call
skip_inline_frames (from inline-frame.c) which calculates the
inferiors current state in relation to inline functions - it figures
out if we're in an inline function, and if we are counts how many
inline frames there are at the current location.
So, in our example above, when we step from line 38 in main to line 39
we stop at a location that is simultaneously in all of main, aaa, bbb,
and ccc. The block structure reflects the order in which the
functions would be called, with ccc being the most inner block and
main being the most outer block. When we stop GDB naturally finds the
block for ccc, however within skip_inline_frames we spot that bbb,
aaa, and main are super-blocks of the current location and that each
layer represents an inline function. The skip_inline_frames then
records the depth of inline functions (3 in this case for aaa, bbb,
and ccc) and also the symbol of the outermost inline function (in this
case 'aaa' as main isn't an inline function, it just has things inline
within it).
Now GDB understands the stack to be main -> aaa -> bbb -> ccc,
however, the state initialised in skip_inline_frames starts off
indicating that we should hide 3 frames from the user, so we report
that we're in main at line 39. The location of main, line 39 is
derived by asking the inline function state for the last symbol in the
stack (aaa in this case), and then asking for it's location - the
location of an inlined function symbol is its call site, so main, line
39 in this case.
If the user then asks GDB to step we don't actually move the inferior
at all, instead we spot that we are in an inline function stack,
lookup the inline state data, and reduce the skip depth by 1. We then
report to the user that GDB has stopped. GDB now understands that we
are in 'aaa'. In order to get the precise location we again ask GDB
for the last symbol from the inline data structure, and we are again
told 'aaa', we then get the location from 'aaa', and report that we
are in main, line 39.
Hopefully it's clear what the mistake here is, once we've reduced the
inline skip depth we should not be using 'aaa' to compute the precise
location, instead we should be using 'bbb'. That is what this patch
does.
Now, when we call skip_inline_frames instead of just recording the
last skipped symbol we now record all symbols in the inline frame
stack. When we ask GDB for the last skipped symbol we return a symbol
based on how many frames we are skipping, not just the last know
symbol.
With this fix in place, the same session as above now looks much
better:

Don't reorder line table entries for the same address when sorting the
line table, maintain the compiler given line order. Usually this will
reflect the order in which lines are conceptually encountered at a
given address.
Consider this example:
/* 1 */ volatile int global_var;
/* 2 */ int __attribute__ ((noinline))
/* 3 */ bar ()
/* 4 */ {
/* 5 */ return global_var;
/* 6 */ }
/* 7 */ static inline int __attribute__ ((always_inline))
/* 8 */ foo ()
/* 9 */ {
/* 10 */ return bar ();
/* 11 */ }
/* 12 */ int
/* 13 */ main ()
/* 14 */ {
/* 15 */ global_var = 0;
/* 16 */ return foo ();
/* 17 */ }
GCC 10 currently generates a line table like this (as shown by
objdump):
CU: ./test.c:
File name Line number Starting address
test.c 4 0x4004b0
test.c 5 0x4004b0
test.c 6 0x4004b6
test.c 6 0x4004b7
test.c 14 0x4003b0
test.c 15 0x4003b0
test.c 16 0x4003ba
test.c 10 0x4003ba
test.c 10 0x4003c1
The interesting entries are those for lines 16 and 10 at address
0x4003ba, these represent the call to foo and the inlined body of
foo.
With the current line table sorting GDB builds the line table like
this (as shown by 'maintenance info line-table'):
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 14 0x00000000004003b0
1 15 0x00000000004003b0
2 10 0x00000000004003ba
3 16 0x00000000004003ba
4 END 0x00000000004003c1
5 4 0x00000000004004b0
6 5 0x00000000004004b0
7 END 0x00000000004004b7
Notice that entries 2 and 3 for lines 10 and 16 are now in a different
order to the line table as given by the compiler. With this patch
applied the order is now:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 14 0x00000000004003b0
1 15 0x00000000004003b0
2 16 0x00000000004003ba
3 10 0x00000000004003ba
4 END 0x00000000004003c1
5 4 0x00000000004004b0
6 5 0x00000000004004b0
7 END 0x00000000004004b7
Notice that entries 2 and 3 are now in their original order again.
The consequence of the incorrect ordering is that when stepping
through inlined functions GDB will display the wrong line for the
inner most frame. Here's a GDB session before this patch is applied:
Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/inline/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:15
15 /* 15 */ global_var = 0;
(gdb) step
16 /* 16 */ return foo ();
(gdb) step
foo () at test.c:16
16 /* 16 */ return foo ();
(gdb) step
bar () at test.c:5
5 /* 5 */ return global_var;
The step from line 15 to 16 was fine, but the next step should have
taken us to line 10, instead we are left at line 16. The final step
to line 5 is as expected.
With this patch applied the session goes better:
Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/inline/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:15
15 /* 15 */ global_var = 0;
(gdb) step
16 /* 16 */ return foo ();
(gdb) step
foo () at test.c:10
10 /* 10 */ return bar ();
(gdb) step
bar () at test.c:5
5 /* 5 */ return global_var;
We now visit the lines as 15, 16, 10, 5 as we would like.
The reason for this issue is that the inline frame unwinder is
detecting that foo is inlined in main. When we stop at the shared
address 0x4003ba the inline frame unwinder first shows us the outer
frame, this information is extracted from the DWARF's
DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine entries and passed via GDB's block data.
When we step again the inlined frame unwinder moves us up the call
stack to the inner most frame at which point the frame is displayed as
normal, with the location for the address being looked up in the line
table.
As GDB uses the last line table entry for an address as "the" line to
report for that address it is critical that GDB maintain the order of
the line table entries. In the first case, by reordering the line
table we report the wrong location.
I had to make a small adjustment in find_pc_sect_line in order to
correctly find the previous line in the line table. In some line
tables I was seeing an actual line entry and an end of sequence marker
at the same address, before this commit these would reorder to move
the end of sequence marker before the line entry (end of sequence has
line number 0). Now the end of sequence marker remains in its correct
location, and in order to find a previous line we should step backward
over any end of sequence markers.
As an example, the binary:
gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func/dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold
Has this line table before the patch:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 48 0x0000000000400487
1 END 0x000000000040048e
2 52 0x000000000040048e
3 54 0x0000000000400492
4 56 0x0000000000400497
5 END 0x000000000040049a
6 62 0x000000000040049a
7 END 0x00000000004004a1
8 66 0x00000000004004a1
9 68 0x00000000004004a5
10 70 0x00000000004004aa
11 72 0x00000000004004b9
12 END 0x00000000004004bc
13 76 0x00000000004004bc
14 78 0x00000000004004c0
15 80 0x00000000004004c5
16 END 0x00000000004004cc
And after this patch:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 48 0x0000000000400487
1 52 0x000000000040048e
2 END 0x000000000040048e
3 54 0x0000000000400492
4 56 0x0000000000400497
5 END 0x000000000040049a
6 62 0x000000000040049a
7 66 0x00000000004004a1
8 END 0x00000000004004a1
9 68 0x00000000004004a5
10 70 0x00000000004004aa
11 72 0x00000000004004b9
12 END 0x00000000004004bc
13 76 0x00000000004004bc
14 78 0x00000000004004c0
15 80 0x00000000004004c5
16 END 0x00000000004004cc
When calling find_pc_sect_line with the address 0x000000000040048e, in
both cases we find entry #3, we then try to find the previous entry,
which originally found this entry '2 52 0x000000000040048e',
after the patch it finds '2 END 0x000000000040048e', which
cases the lookup to fail.
By skipping the END marker after this patch we get back to the correct
entry, which is now #1: '1 52 0x000000000040048e', and
everything works again.

In this commit:
commit d9b3de22f3
Date: Wed May 27 14:44:29 2015 -0700
Add struct to record dwarf line number state machine.
I believe an unintended change was made to how we store the DWARF line
table, the end of sequence markers between sequences of lines were
lost from the line table.
This commit fixes this small oversight and restores the end of
sequence markers.
Given that we've survived this long without noticing is clearly an
indication that this isn't that serious, however, a later patch that I
am developing would benefit from having the markers in place, so I'd
like to restore them.
Having the markers also means that the output of 'maintenance info
line-table' now more closely reflects the DWARF line table.
I've taken this opportunity to improve how 'maintenance info
line-table' displays the end of sequence markers - it now uses the END
keyword, rather than just printing an entry with line number 0. So we
see this:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 12 0x00000000004003b0
1 17 0x00000000004003b0
2 18 0x00000000004003b0
3 END 0x00000000004003b7
4 5 0x00000000004004a0
5 6 0x00000000004004a0
6 END 0x00000000004004a7
Instead of what we would have seen, which was this:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS
0 12 0x00000000004003b0
1 17 0x00000000004003b0
2 18 0x00000000004003b0
3 0 0x00000000004003b7
4 5 0x00000000004004a0
5 6 0x00000000004004a0
6 0 0x00000000004004a7
I've added a small test that uses 'maintenance info line-table' to
ensure that we don't regress this again.

This fixes a latent bug exposed by the multi-target patch (5b6d1e4fa
"Multi-target support), and then fixes two other latent bugs exposed
by fixing that first latent bug.
The symptom described in the bug report is that starting a first
inferior, then trying to run a second (multi-threaded) inferior twice,
causes libthread_db to fail to load, along with other erratic
behavior:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/foo
warning: td_ta_new failed: generic error
Going a bit deeply, I found that if the two inferiors have different
symbols, we can see that just after inferior 2 exits, we are left with
inferior 2 selected, which is correct, but the symbols in scope belong
to inferior 1, which is obviously incorrect...
This problem is that there's a path in
scoped_restore_current_thread::restore() that switches to no thread
selected, and switches the current inferior, but leaves the current
program space as is, resulting in leaving the program space pointing
to the wrong program space (the one of the other inferior). This was
happening after handling TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which is an event
that triggers after TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED for the previous inferior
exit. Subsequent symbol lookups find the symbols of the wrong
inferior.
The fix is to use switch_to_inferior_no_thread in that problem spot.
This function was recently added along with the multi-target work
exactly for these situations.
As for testing, this patch adds a new testcase that tests symbol
printing just after inferior exit, which exercises the root cause of
the problem more directly. And then, to cover the use case described
in the bug too, it also exercises the lithread_db.so mis-loading, by
using TLS printing as a proxy for being sure that threaded debugging
was activated sucessfully. The testcase fails without the fix like
this, for the "print symbol just after exit" bits:
...

And like this for the "libthread_db.so loading" bits:

As mentioned, that fix above goes on to expose a couple other latent
bugs. This commit fixes those as well.
The first latent bug exposed is in
infrun.c:handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit. The current code is leaving
inf->pspace == NULL while calling clone_program_space. The idea was
to make it so that the breakpoints module doesn't use this inferior's
pspace to set breakpoints. With that, any
scoped_restore_current_thread use from within clone_program_space
tries to restore a NULL program space, which hits an assertion:
Attaching after Thread 0x7ffff74b8700 (LWP 27276) vfork to child process 27277]

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/vfork-follow-child-exit.exp: detach-on-fork=off: continue (GDB internal error)
That NULL pspace idea was legitimate, but it's no longer necessary,
since commit b2e586e850 ("Defer breakpoint reset when cloning
progspace for fork child"). So the fix is to just set the inferior's
program space earlier.
The other latent bug exposed is in exec.c. When exec_close is called
from the program_space destructor, it is purposedly called with a
current program space that is not the current inferior's program
space. The problem is that the multi-target work added some code to
remove_target_sections that loops over all inferiors, and uses
scoped_restore_current_thread to save/restore the previous
thread/inferior/frame state. This makes it so that exec_close returns
with the current program space set to the current inferior's program
space, which is exactly what we did not want. Then the program_space
destructor continues into free_all_objfiles, but it is now running
that method on the wrong program space, resulting in:

The fix is to use scoped_restore_current_pspace_and_thread instead of
scoped_restore_current_thread.

This is an update of this patch:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-09/msg00884.html
This patch attempts to address PR gdb/23718 by re-enabling stdin
whenever an exception is caught during gdb.execute().
When Python gdb.execute() is called, an exception could occur (e.g. the
target disappearing), which is then converted into a Python exception. If
stdin was disabled before the exception is caught, it is not re-enabled,
because the exception doesn't propagate to the top level of the event loop,
whose catch block would otherwise enable it.
The result is that when execution of a Python script completes, GDB does
not prompt or accept input, and is effectively hung.
This change rectifies the issue by re-enabling stdin in the catch block of
execute_gdb_command, prior to converting the exception to a Python
exception.
Since this patch was originally posted I've added a test, and also I
converted the code to re-enable stdin from this:
SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS ()
{
async_enable_stdin ();
}
to simply this:
async_enable_stdin ();
My reasoning is that we only need the SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS if, at the time
the exception is caught, the current_ui might be different than at the time
we called async_disable_stdin. Within python's execute_gdb_command I think
it should be impossible to switch current_ui, so the SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS
isn't needed.

If we catch an exception in start_event_loop's call to
gdb_do_one_event, then it is possible that the current_ui has changed
since we called async_disable_stdin. If that's the case then calling
async_enable_stdin will be called on the wrong UI.
To solve this problem we wrap the call to async_enable_stdin with
SWITCH_THRU_ALL_UIS, this causes us to try and re-enable stdin for all
UIs, which will catch any for which we called async_disable_stdin.

This started as a patch to enable the asm window to handle attempts to
disassemble invalid memory, but it ended up expanding into a
significant rewrite of how the asm window handles scrolling. These
two things ended up being tied together as it was impossible to
correctly test scrolling into invalid memory when the asm window would
randomly behave weirdly while scrolling.
Things that should work nicely now; scrolling to the bottom or top of
the listing with PageUp, PageDown, Up Arrow, Down Arrow and we should
be able to scroll past small areas of memory that don't have symbols
associated with them. It should also be possible to scroll to the
start of a section even if there's no symbol at the start of the
section.
Adding tests for this scrolling was a little bit of a problem. First
I would have liked to add tests for PageUp / PageDown, but the tuiterm
library we use doesn't support these commands right now due to only
emulating a basic ascii terminal. Changing this to emulate a more
complex terminal would require adding support for more escape sequence
control codes, so I've not tried to tackle that in this patch.
Next, I would have liked to test scrolling to the start or end of the
assembler listing and then trying to scroll even more, however, this
is a problem because in a well behaving GDB a scroll at the start/end
has no effect. What we need to do is:
- Move to start of assembler listing,
- Send scroll up command,
- Wait for all curses output,
- Ensure the assembler listing is unchanged, we're still at the
start of the listing.
The problem is that there is no curses output, so how long do we wait
at step 3? The same problem exists for scrolling to the bottom of the
assembler listing. However, when scrolling down you can at least see
the end coming, so I added a test for this case, however, this feels
like an area of code that is massively under tested.

Fix it by moving the declaration of `inf` in the specific scopes that
need it. I think it's clearer this way anyway, as it shows that it's
not the same `inf` that is used in these different scopes.
Thanks to Iain Sandoe for reporting this. I did not see this error at
first, because I compile with the default system compiler on macOS,
which is clang. The compiler flag we try to enable for this is
`-Wshadow=local`, which is not one recognized by clang. I checked to
see if there would a version of the -Wshadow* warnings [1] we could
enable for clang, that would catch this, but the only one that would is
`-Wshadow` itself, and this is too invasive for us (which is why we
enabled just -Wshadow=local in the first place).

* darwin-nat.c (darwin_nat_target::wait_1): Move `inf`
declaration to narrower scopes.
The darwin-nat.c file doesn't build since the multi-target changes
(5b6d1e4f, "Multi-target support"). This patch makes it build. I have
access to a macOS vm, so I am able to build it, but I wasn't able to
successfully codesign it and try to actually debug something, so I don't
know if it works. I don't have much more time to put on this to figure
it out, so I thought I'd sent the patch anyway, as it's at least a step
in the right direction.
The bulk of the patch is to change a bunch of functions to be methods of
the darwin_nat_target object, so that this can pass `this` to
find_inferior_ptid and other functions that now require a
process_stratum_target pointer.
The darwin_ptrace_him function (renamed to darwin_nat_target::ptrace_him
in this patch) is passed to fork_inferior as the `init_trace_fun`
parameter. Since the method can't be passed as a plain function pointer
(we need the `this` pointer), I changed the `init_trace_fun` parameter
of fork_inferior to be a gdb::function_view, so we can pass a lambda and
capture `this`.
The changes in darwin-nat.h are only to move definition higher in the
file, so that forward declarations are not needed.

Each time a dll is loaded, update_solib_list is called.
This in turn calls deep down xfer_partial -> windows_xfer_shared_libraries,
which calls windows_xfer_shared_library for each loaded dll,
and pe_text_section_offset reads the dll for the text section offset.
Also if the data provided by xfer_partial is bigger than 4K,
then all of this is done for each 4K chunk (see target_read_alloc_1).
Caching of the text section offset improves the startup time of
an application with >300 dynamically loaded plugins from 2m10s to 10s.
And the shutdown time improves from 2m to 2s.
