This commit adds multi-target support to GDB. What this means is that
with this commit, GDB can now be connected to different targets at the
same time. E.g., you can debug a live native process and a core dump
at the same time, connect to multiple gdbservers, etc.
Actually, the word "target" is overloaded in gdb. We already have a
target stack, with pushes several target_ops instances on top of one
another. We also have "info target" already, which means something
completely different to what this patch does.
So from here on, I'll be using the "target connections" term, to mean
an open process_stratum target, pushed on a target stack. This patch
makes gdb have multiple target stacks, and multiple process_stratum
targets open simultaneously. The user-visible changes / commands will
also use this terminology, but of course it's all open to debate.
User-interface-wise, not that much changes. The main difference is
that each inferior may have its own target connection.
A target connection (e.g., a target extended-remote connection) may
support debugging multiple processes, just as before.
Say you're debugging against gdbserver in extended-remote mode, and
you do "add-inferior" to prepare to spawn a new process, like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
At this point, you have two inferiors connected to the same gdbserver.
With this commit, GDB will maintain a target stack per inferior,
instead of a global target stack.
To preserve the behavior above, by default, "add-inferior" makes the
new inferior inherit a copy of the target stack of the current
inferior. Same across a fork - the child inherits a copy of the
target stack of the parent. While the target stacks are copied, the
targets themselves are not. Instead, target_ops is made a
refcounted_object, which means that target_ops instances are
refcounted, which each inferior counting for a reference.
What if you want to create an inferior and connect it to some _other_
target? For that, this commit introduces a new "add-inferior
-no-connection" option that makes the new inferior not share the
current inferior's target. So you could do:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
Remote debugging using :9999
...
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 <null>
(gdb) tar extended-remote :10000
Remote debugging using :10000
...
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 process 18450 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
(gdb)
A following patch will extended "info inferiors" to include a column
indicating which connection an inferior is bound to, along with a
couple other UI tweaks.
Other than that, debugging is the same as before. Users interact with
inferiors and threads as before. The only difference is that
inferiors may be bound to processes running in different machines.
That's pretty much all there is to it in terms of noticeable UI
changes.
On to implementation.
Since we can be connected to different systems at the same time, a
ptid_t is no longer a unique identifier. Instead a thread can be
identified by a pair of ptid_t and 'process_stratum_target *', the
later being the instance of the process_stratum target that owns the
process/thread. Note that process_stratum_target inherits from
target_ops, and all process_stratum targets inherit from
process_stratum_target. In earlier patches, many places in gdb were
converted to refer to threads by thread_info pointer instead of
ptid_t, but there are still places in gdb where we start with a
pid/tid and need to find the corresponding inferior or thread_info
objects. So you'll see in the patch many places adding a
process_stratum_target parameter to functions that used to take only a
ptid_t.
Since each inferior has its own target stack now, we can always find
the process_stratum target for an inferior. That is done via a
inf->process_target() convenience method.
Since each inferior has its own target stack, we need to handle the
"beneath" calls when servicing target calls. The solution I settled
with is just to make sure to switch the current inferior to the
inferior you want before making a target call. Not relying on global
context is just not feasible in current GDB. Fortunately, there
aren't that many places that need to do that, because generally most
code that calls target methods already has the current context
pointing to the right inferior/thread. Note, to emphasize -- there's
no method to "switch to this target stack". Instead, you switch the
current inferior, and that implicitly switches the target stack.
In some spots, we need to iterate over all inferiors so that we reach
all target stacks.
Native targets are still singletons. There's always only a single
instance of such targets.
Remote targets however, we'll have one instance per remote connection.
The exec target is still a singleton. There's only one instance. I
did not see the point of instanciating more than one exec_target
object.
After vfork, we need to make sure to push the exec target on the new
inferior. See exec_on_vfork.
For type safety, functions that need a {target, ptid} pair to identify
a thread, take a process_stratum_target pointer for target parameter
instead of target_ops *. Some shared code in gdb/nat/ also need to
gain a target pointer parameter. This poses an issue, since gdbserver
doesn't have process_stratum_target, only target_ops. To fix this,
this commit renames gdbserver's target_ops to process_stratum_target.
I think this makes sense. There's no concept of target stack in
gdbserver, and gdbserver's target_ops really implements a
process_stratum-like target.
The thread and inferior iterator functions also gain
process_stratum_target parameters. These are used to be able to
iterate over threads and inferiors of a given target. Following usual
conventions, if the target pointer is null, then we iterate over
threads and inferiors of all targets.
I tried converting "add-inferior" to the gdb::option framework, as a
preparatory patch, but that stumbled on the fact that gdb::option does
not support file options yet, for "add-inferior -exec". I have a WIP
patchset that adds that, but it's not a trivial patch, mainly due to
need to integrate readline's filename completion, so I deferred that
to some other time.
In infrun.c/infcmd.c, the main change is that we need to poll events
out of all targets. See do_target_wait. Right after collecting an
event, we switch the current inferior to an inferior bound to the
target that reported the event, so that target methods can be used
while handling the event. This makes most of the code transparent to
multi-targets. See fetch_inferior_event.
infrun.c:stop_all_threads is interesting -- in this function we need
to stop all threads of all targets. What the function does is send an
asynchronous stop request to all threads, and then synchronously waits
for events, with target_wait, rinse repeat, until all it finds are
stopped threads. Now that we have multiple targets, it's not
efficient to synchronously block in target_wait waiting for events out
of one target. Instead, we implement a mini event loop, with
interruptible_select, select'ing on one file descriptor per target.
For this to work, we need to be able to ask the target for a waitable
file descriptor. Such file descriptors already exist, they are the
descriptors registered in the main event loop with add_file_handler,
inside the target_async implementations. This commit adds a new
target_async_wait_fd target method that just returns the file
descriptor in question. See wait_one / stop_all_threads in infrun.c.
The 'threads_executing' global is made a per-target variable. Since
it is only relevant to process_stratum_target targets, this is where
it is put, instead of in target_ops.
You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress.
Current limitations:
- You can only resume more that one target at the same time if all
targets support asynchronous debugging, and support non-stop mode.
It should be possible to support mixed all-stop + non-stop
backends, but that is left for another time. This means that
currently in order to do multi-target with gdbserver you need to
issue "maint set target-non-stop on". I would like to make that
mode be the default, but we're not there yet. Note that I'm
talking about how the target backend works, only. User-visible
all-stop mode works just fine.
- As explained above, connecting to different remote servers at the
same time is likely to produce bad results if they don't support the
exact set of RSP features.

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
As preparation for multi-target, this patch makes each inferior have
its own thread list.
This isn't absolutely necessary for multi-target, but simplifies
things. It originally stemmed from the desire to eliminate the
init_thread_list calls sprinkled around, plus it makes it more
efficient to iterate over threads of a given inferior (no need to
always iterate over threads of all inferiors).
We still need to iterate over threads of all inferiors in a number of
places, which means we'd need adjust the ALL_THREADS /
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS macros. However, naively tweaking those macros
to have an extra for loop, like:
#define ALL_THREADS (thr, inf) \
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next) \
for (thr = inf->thread_list; thr; thr = thr->next)
causes problems with code that does "break" or "continue" within the
ALL_THREADS loop body. Plus, we need to declare the extra "inf" local
variable in order to pass it as temporary variable to ALL_THREADS
(etc.)
It gets even trickier when we consider extending the macros to filter
out threads matching a ptid_t and a target. The macros become tricker
to read/write. Been there.
An alternative (which was my next attempt), is to replace the
ALL_THREADS etc. iteration style with for_each_all_threads,
for_each_non_exited_threads, etc. functions which would take a
callback as parameter, which would usually be passed a lambda.
However, I did not find that satisfactory at all, because the
resulting code ends up a little less natural / more noisy to read,
write and debug/step-through (due to use of lambdas), and in many
places where we use "continue;" to skip to the next thread now need to
use "return;". (I ran into hard to debug bugs caused by a
continue/return confusion.)
I.e., before:
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS (tp)
{
if (tp->not_what_I_want)
continue;
// do something
}
would turn into:
for_each_non_exited_thread ([&] (thread_info *tp)
{
if (tp->not_what_I_want)
return;
// do something
});
Lastly, the solution I settled with was to replace the ALL_THREADS /
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS / ALL_INFERIORS macros with (C++20-like) ranges
and iterators, such that you can instead naturaly iterate over
threads/inferiors using range-for, like e.g,.:
// all threads, including THREAD_EXITED threads.
for (thread_info *tp : all_threads ())
{ .... }
// all non-exited threads.
for (thread_info *tp : all_non_exited_threads ())
{ .... }
// all non-exited threads of INF inferior.
for (thread_info *tp : inf->non_exited_threads ())
{ .... }
The all_non_exited_threads() function takes an optional filter ptid_t as
parameter, which is quite convenient when we need to iterate over
threads matching that filter. See e.g., how the
set_executing/set_stop_requested/finish_thread_state etc. functions in
thread.c end up being simplified.
Most of the patch thus is about adding the infrustructure for allowing
the above. Later on when we get to actual multi-target, these
functions/ranges/iterators will gain a "target_ops *" parameter so
that e.g., we can iterate over all threads of a given target that
match a given filter ptid_t.
The only entry points users needs to be aware of are the
all_threads/all_non_exited_threads etc. functions seen above. Thus,
those functions are declared in gdbthread.h/inferior.h. The actual
iterators/ranges are mainly "internals" and thus are put out of view
in the new thread-iter.h/thread-iter.c/inferior-iter.h files. That
keeps the gdbthread.h/inferior.h headers quite a bit more readable.
A common/safe-iterator.h header is added which adds a template that
can be used to build "safe" iterators, which are forward iterators
that can be used to replace the ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro and other
instances of the same idiom in future.
There's a little bit of shuffling of code between
gdbthread.h/thread.c/inferior.h in the patch. That is necessary in
order to avoid circular dependencies between the
gdbthread.h/inferior.h headers.
As for the init_thread_list calls sprinkled around, they're all
eliminated by this patch, and a new, central call is added to
inferior_appeared. Note how also related to that, there's a call to
init_wait_for_inferior in remote.c that is eliminated.
init_wait_for_inferior is currently responsible for discarding skipped
inline frames, which had to be moved elsewhere. Given that nowadays
we always have a thread even for single-threaded processes, the
natural place is to delete a frame's inline frame info when we delete
the thread. I.e., from clear_thread_inferior_resources.
