This patch was inspired by a recent review that recommended using
std::string in a new implementation of the gcc_target_options gdbarch
function. It changes this function to return std::string rather than
an ordinary xmalloc'd string.
I believe this caught a latent memory leak in compile.c:get_args.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

Change-Id: I51f61703426a323089e646da8f22320a2cafbc1f
Add a new print_pc which prints both the PC and a new field addr_flags.
Call this wherever the PC is printed in stack.c.
Add a new gdbarch method get_pc_address_flags to obtain the addr_flag
contents. By default returns an empty string, on AArch64 this returns
PAC if the address has been masked in the frame.
Document this in the manual and NEWS file.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS (Other MI changes): New subsection.
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_get_pc_address_flags): New function.

* gdb.texinfo (AArch64 Pointer Authentication)
(GDB/MI Breakpoint Information) (Frame Information): Document
addr_field.
I touched symtab.h and was surprised to see how many files were
rebuilt. I looked into it a bit, and found that defs.h includes
gdbarch.h, which in turn includes many things.
gdbarch.h is only needed by a minority ofthe files in gdb, so this
patch removes the include from defs.h and updates the fallout.
I did "wc -l" on the files in build/gdb/.deps; this patch reduces the
line count from 139935 to 137030; so there are definitely future
build-time savings here.
Note that while I configured with --enable-targets=all, it's possible
that some *-nat.c file needs an update. I could not test all of
these. The buildbot caught a few problems along these lines.

While working on my other scripts to deal with gdb headers, I noticed
that some files were missing include guards. I wrote a script to add
the missing ones, but found that using the obvious names for the
guards ran into clashes -- for example, gdb/nat/linux-nat.h used
"LINUX_NAT_H", but this was also the script's choice for
gdb/linux-nat.h.
So, I changed the script to normalize all include guards in gdb. This
patch is the result.
As usual the script is available here:
https://github.com/tromey/gdb-refactoring-scripts
Tested by rebuilding; I also ran it through "Fedora-x86_64-m64" on the
buildbot.

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This adds some basic type alignment support to gdb. It changes struct
type to store the alignment, and updates dwarf2read.c to handle
DW_AT_alignment. It also adds a new gdbarch method and updates
i386-tdep.c.
None of this new functionality is used anywhere yet, so tests will
wait until the next patch.
2018-04-30 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* i386-tdep.c (i386_type_align): New function.

* gdbarch.c, gdbarch.h: Rebuild.

* arch-utils.c (default_type_align): New function.

(read_subrange_type, read_base_type): Set type alignment.
With version 7.3 GCC supports new options
-mindirect-branch=<choice>
-mfunction-return=<choice>
The choices are:
keep behaves as before
thunk jumps through a thunk
thunk-external jumps through an external thunk
thunk-inline jumps through an inlined thunk
For thunk and thunk-external, GDB would, on a call to the thunk, step into
the thunk and then resume to its caller assuming that this is an
undebuggable function. On a return thunk, GDB would stop inside the
thunk.
Make GDB step through such thunks instead.
Before:
Temporary breakpoint 1, main ()
at gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.c:37
37 x = apply (inc, 41);
(gdb) s
apply (op=0x80483e6 <inc>, x=41)
at gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.c:29
29 return op (x);
(gdb)
30 }
After:
Temporary breakpoint 1, main ()
at gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.c:37
37 x = apply (inc, 41);
(gdb) s
apply (op=0x80483e6 <inc>, x=41)
at gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.c:29
29 return op (x);
(gdb)
inc (x=41) at gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.c:23
23 return x + 1;
This is independent of the step-mode. In order to step into the thunk,
you would need to use stepi.
When stepping over an indirect call thunk, GDB would first step through
the thunk, then recognize that it stepped into a sub-routine and resume to
the caller (of the thunk). Not sure whether this is worth optimizing.
Thunk detection is implemented via gdbarch. I implemented the methods for
IA. Other architectures may run into unexpected fails.
The tests assume a fixed number of instruction steps to reach a thunk.
This depends on the compiler as well as the architecture. They may need
adjustments when we add support for more architectures. Or we can simply
drop those tests that cover being able to step into thunks using
instruction stepping.
When using an older GCC, the tests will fail to build and will be reported
as untested:
Running .../gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp ...

This changes the gdbarch fast_tracepoint_valid_at method to use a
std::string as its out parameter, and then updates all the uses. This
allows removing a cleanup from breakpoint.c.
Regression tested by the buildbot.

This problem can be fixed by
- either each prologue analyzer doesn't throw exception,
- or catch the exception thrown from gdbarch_skip_prologue,
I choose the latter because the former needs to fix *every* prologue
analyzer to not throw exception.
This error can be reproduced by changing reread.exp. The test reread.exp
has already test that breakpoint can be reset correctly after the
executable is re-read. This patch extends this test by compiling test c
file with and without -fPIE.

Recently a feature called "return address signing" has been added to GCC to
prevent stack smash stack on AArch64. For details please refer:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-01/msg00376.html
GDB needs to be aware of this feature so it can restore the original return
address which is critical for unwinding.
On compiler side, whenever return address, i.e. LR register, is mangled or
restored by hardware instruction, compiler is expected to generate a
DW_CFA_AARCH64_negate_ra_state to toggle return address signing status.
DW_CFA_AARCH64_negate_ra_state is using the same CFI number and
therefore need to be multiplexed with DW_CFA_GNU_window_save which was designed
for SPARC.
A new gdbarch method "execute_dwarf_cfa_vendor_op" is introduced by this patch.
It's parameters has been restricted to those only needed by SPARC and AArch64
for multiplexing DW_CFA_GNU_window_save which is a CFI operation takes none
operand. Should any further DWARF CFI operation want to be multiplexed in the
future, the parameter list can be extended. Below is the current function
prototype.
typedef int (gdbarch_execute_dwarf_cfa_vendor_op_ftype)
(struct gdbarch *gdbarch, gdb_byte op, struct dwarf2_frame_state *fs);
DW_CFA_GNU_window_save support for SPARC is migrated to this new gdbarch

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.
Both of them are used in conversion. We can remove them since the
conversion is done.
There are many architectures only have one breakpoint instruction,
so their gdbarch methods breakpoint_kind_from_pc and
sw_breakpoint_from_kind look very similar. Instead of macro, we
use template "template <size_t, const gdb_byte *> struct bp_manipulation"
for these architectures. In order to use template, I also change
breakpoint instruction of type "static const gdb_byte[]" to
"constexpr gdb_byte[]", and rename them to ARCH_break_insn.

This patch adds two gdbarch methods breakpoint_kind_from_pc and
sw_breakpoint_from_kind, and uses target_info.placed_size as "kind"
of the breakpoint. This patch updates the usages of
target_info.placed_size.
The "kind" of a breakpoint is determined by gdbarch rather than
target, so we have gdbarch method breakpoint_kind_from_pc, and we
should set target_info.placed_size out of each implementation of
target to_insert_breakpoint. In this way, each target doesn't have
to set target_info.placed_size any more.
This patch also sets target_info.placed_address before
target_insert_breakpoint too, so that target to_insert_breakpoint
can use it, see record_full_insert_breakpoint.
Before we call target_insert_breakpoint, we set
target_info.placed_address and target_info.placed_size like this,
CORE_ADDR addr = bl->target_info.reqstd_address;
bl->target_info.placed_size = gdbarch_breakpoint_kind_from_pc (bl->gdbarch, &addr);
bl->target_info.placed_address = addr;
return target_insert_breakpoint (bl->gdbarch, &bl->target_info);
target_insert_breakpoint may fail, but it doesn't matter to the "kind"
and "placed_address" of a breakpoint. They should be determined by
gdbarch.

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

The problem described above is quite similar to PR 8841, in which GDB
can't set breakpoint on signal trampoline, which is mapped to a read-only
page by kernel. The rationale of this patch is to skip "unwritable"
frames when looking for caller frames in command "finish", and a new
gdbarch method code_of_frame_writable is added. This patch fixes
the problem on ARM cortex-m target, but it can be used to fix
PR 8841 too.

When we're looking at a tracefile trace frame where registers are not
available, and the tracepoint has only one location, we supply
the location's address as the PC register. However, this only works
if PC is not a pseudo register, and individual architectures may want
to guess more registers. Add a gdbarch hook that will handle that.

This patch removes the isize output argument from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at gdbarch hook. It was used to return the size
of the instruction that needs to be replaced when installing a fast
tracepoint. Instead of getting this value from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at hook, we can call the gdb_insn_length function.
If we do not do this, then architectures which do not have a restriction
on where to install the fast tracepoint will send uninitialized memory
off to GDBserver. See remote_download_tracepoint:
~~~
int isize;
if (gdbarch_fast_tracepoint_valid_at (target_gdbarch (),
tpaddr, &isize, NULL))
xsnprintf (buf + strlen (buf), BUF_SIZE - strlen (buf), ":F%x",
isize);
~~~
The default implementation of fast_tracepoint_valid_at will not set
isize resulting in uninitialized memory being sent. Later on, GDBserver
could use this information to compute a jump offset.

Currently inferior memory is allocated by inferior mmap() but it is never
deallocated; despite the injected objfile incl. its symbols is freed. This was
intentional so that one can do for example:
inferior:
char *str = "foo";
GDB:
(gdb) compile code str = "bar";
I believe later patches will be needed to introduce full control over keeping
vs. discarding the injected module as being discussed in:
compile: objfiles lifetime UI
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00051.html
Message-ID: <20150429135735.GA16974@host1.jankratochvil.net>
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-05/msg00007.html
As decided by Phil it is better not to leak inferior pages as users can
workaround the issue above for example by:
(gdb) compile code str = strdup ("bar");
I have checked that in fact gdb/doc/ (written by Phil) already expects the
injected code will be unmapped so that does not need to be changed:
compile code int ff = 5; p = &ff;
In this example, @code{p} would point to @code{ff} when the
@code{compile} command is executing the source code provided to it.
However, as variables in the (example) program persist with their
assigned values, the variable @code{p} would point to an invalid
location when the command exists.

We concluded that gdbarch_in_function_epilogue_p is misnamed, since it
returns true if the given PC is one instruction after the one that
destroyed the stack (which isn't necessarily inside an epilogue),
therefore it should be renamed to stack_frame_destroyed_p.
I also took the liberty of renaming the arch-specific implementations to
*_stack_frame_destroyed_p as well for consistency.

gdb has to inform libcc1.so of the target being used, so that the
correct compiler can be invoked. The compiler is invoked using the
GNU configury triplet prefix, e.g., "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc".
In order for this to work we need to map the gdbarch to the GNU
configury triplet arch. In most cases these are identical; however,
the x86 family poses some problems, as the BFD arch names are quite
different from the GNU triplet names. So, we introduce a new gdbarch
method for this. A regular expression is used because there are
various valid values for the arch prefix in the triplet.
This patch also updates the osabi code to associate a regular
expression with the OS ABI. I have only added a concrete value for
Linux. Note that the "-gnu" part is optional, at least on Fedora it
is omitted from the installed GCC executable's name.

The compiler needed two new gdbarch methods.
The infcall_mmap method allocates memory in the inferior.
This is used when inserting the object code.
The gcc_target_options method computes some arch-specific gcc options
to pass to the compiler. This is used to ensure that gcc generates
object code for the correct architecture.

1. Background information
The MIPS architecture, as originally designed and implemented in
mid-1980s has a uniform instruction word size that is 4 bytes, naturally
aligned. As such all MIPS instructions are located at addresses that
have their bits #1 and #0 set to zeroes, and any attempt to execute an
instruction from an address that has any of the two bits set to one
causes an address error exception. This may for example happen when a
jump-register instruction is executed whose register value used as the
jump target has any of these bits set.
Then in mid 1990s LSI sought a way to improve code density for their
TinyRISC family of MIPS cores and invented an alternatively encoded
instruction set in a joint effort with MIPS Technologies (then a
subsidiary of SGI). The new instruction set has been named the MIPS16
ASE (Application-Specific Extension) and uses a variable instruction
word size, which is 2 bytes (as the name of the ASE suggests) for most,
but there are a couple of exceptions that take 4 bytes, and then most of
the 2-byte instructions can be treated with a 2-byte extension prefix to
expand the range of the immediate operands used.
As a result instructions are no longer 4-byte aligned, instead they are
aligned to a multiple of 2. That left the bit #0 still unused for code
references, be it for the standard MIPS (i.e. as originally invented) or
for the MIPS16 instruction set, and based on that observation a clever
trick was invented that on one hand allowed the processor to be
seamlessly switched between the two instruction sets at any time at the
run time while on the other avoided the introduction of any special
control register to do that.
So it is the bit #0 of the instruction address that was chosen as the
selector and named the ISA bit. Any instruction executed at an even
address is interpreted as a standard MIPS instruction (the address still
has to have its bit #1 clear), any instruction executed at an odd
address is interpreted as a MIPS16 instruction.
To switch between modes ordinary jump instructions are used, such as
used for function calls and returns, specifically the bit #0 of the
source register used in jump-register instructions selects the execution
(ISA) mode for the following piece of code to be interpreted in.
Additionally new jump-immediate instructions were added that flipped the
ISA bit to select the opposite mode upon execution. They were
considered necessary to avoid the need to make register jumps in all
cases as the original jump-immediate instructions provided no way to
change the bit #0 at all.
This was all important for cases where standard MIPS and MIPS16 code had
to be mixed, either for compatibility with the existing binary code base
or to access resources not reachable from MIPS16 code (the MIPS16
instruction set only provides access to general-purpose registers, and
not for example floating-point unit registers or privileged coprocessor
0 registers) -- pieces of code in the opposite mode can be executed as
ordinary subroutine calls.
A similar approach has been more recently adopted for the MIPS16
replacement instruction set defined as the so called microMIPS ASE.
This is another instruction set encoding introduced to the MIPS
architecture. Just like the MIPS16 ASE, the microMIPS instruction set
uses a variable-length encoding, where each instruction takes a multiple
of 2 bytes. The ISA bit has been reused and for microMIPS-capable
processors selects between the standard MIPS and the microMIPS mode
instead.
2. Statement of the problem
To put it shortly, MIPS16 and microMIPS code pointers used by GDB are
different to these observed at the run time. This results in the same
expressions being evaluated producing different results in GDB and in
the program being debugged. Obviously it's the results obtained at the
run time that are correct (they define how the program behaves) and
therefore by definition the results obtained in GDB are incorrect.
A bit longer description will record that obviously at the run time the
ISA bit has to be set correctly (refer to background information above
if unsure why so) or the program will not run as expected. This is
recorded in all the executable file structures used at the run time: the
dynamic symbol table (but not always the static one!), the GOT, and
obviously in all the addresses embedded in code or data of the program
itself, calculated by applying the appropriate relocations at the static
link time.
While a program is being processed by GDB, the ISA bit is stripped off
from any code addresses, presumably to make them the same as the
respective raw memory byte address used by the processor to access the
instruction in the instruction fetch access cycle. This stripping is
actually performed outside GDB proper, in BFD, specifically
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing (elfxx-mips.c, see the piece of code at
the very bottom of that function, starting with an: "If this is an
odd-valued function symbol, assume it's a MIPS16 or microMIPS one."
comment).
This function is also responsible for symbol table dumps made by
`objdump' too, so you'll never see the ISA bit reported there by that
tool, you need to use `readelf'.
This is however unlike what is ever done at the run time, the ISA bit
once present is never stripped off, for example a cast like this:
(short *) main
will not strip the ISA bit off and if the resulting pointer is intended
to be used to access instructions as data, for example for software
instruction decoding (like for fault recovery or emulation in a signal
handler) or for self-modifying code then the bit still has to be
stripped off by an explicit AND operation.
This is probably best illustrated with a simple real program example.
Let's consider the following simple program:
$ cat foobar.c
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) foo (void)
{
return 1;
}
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) bar (void)
{
return 2;
}
int __attribute__ ((nomips16)) foo32 (void)
{
return 3;
}
int (*foo32p) (void) = foo32;
int (*foop) (void) = foo;
int fooi = (int) foo;
int
main (void)
{
return foop ();
}
$
This is plain C with no odd tricks, except from the instruction mode
attributes. They are not necessary to trigger this problem, I just put
them here so that the program can be contained in a single source file
and to make it obvious which function is MIPS16 code and which is not.
Let's try it with Linux, so that everyone can repeat this experiment:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -g -O2 -o foobar foobar.c
$
Let's have a look at some interesting symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55: 00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
66: 0040068c 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 bar
68: 00410848 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
70: 00410844 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
78: 00400684 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
80: 00400680 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 foo
88: 00410840 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
Hmm, no sight of the ISA bit, but notice how foo and bar (but not
foo32!) have been marked as MIPS16 functions (ELF symbol structure's
`st_other' field is used for that).
So let's try to run and poke at this program with GDB. I'll be using a
native system for simplicity (I'll be using ellipses here and there to
remove unrelated clutter):
$ ./foobar
$ echo $?
1
$
So far, so good.
$ gdb ./foobar
[...]
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400490: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb)
Yay, it worked! OK, so let's poke at it:
(gdb) print main
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400490 <main>
(gdb) print foo32
$2 = {int (void)} 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print foo32p

(gdb) print foo
$5 = {int (void)} 0x400680 <foo>
(gdb) print foop
$6 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb)
A-ha! Here's the difference and finally the ISA bit!
(gdb) print /x fooi
$7 = 0x400681
(gdb) p/x $pc
p/x $pc
$8 = 0x400491
(gdb)
And here as well...
(gdb) advance foo

Run till exit from #0 foo () at foobar.c:4
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $9 = 1
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14103) exited with code 01]
(gdb)
So let's be a bit inquisitive...
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb)
Actually we do not like to run foo here at all. Let's run bar instead!
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) print foop
$10 = (int (*)(void)) 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb)
Hmm, no ISA bit. Is it going to work?
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) p/x $pc
$11 = 0x40068c
(gdb) disassemble

$12 = 0x40068c
(gdb)
We're still there!
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
So let's try something else:
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo
(gdb) advance foo

Run till exit from #0 foo () at foobar.c:4
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
foo () at foobar.c:4
4 }
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
The same problem!
(gdb) run

Run till exit from #0 foo32 () at foobar.c:14
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $14 = 3
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14113) exited with code 03]
(gdb)
That did work though, so it's the ISA bit only!
(gdb) quit
Enough!
That's the tip of the iceberg only though. So let's rebuild the
executable with some dynamic symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -Wl,--export-dynamic -g -O2 -o foobar-dyn foobar.c
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar-dyn | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 32 entries:
6: 004009cd 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 bar
8: 00410b88 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
9: 00410b84 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
15: 004009c4 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
17: 004009c1 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo
25: 00410b80 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55: 00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
69: 004009cd 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 bar
71: 00410b88 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
72: 00410b84 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foop
79: 004009c4 8 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo32
81: 004009c1 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 foo
89: 00410b80 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
OK, now the ISA bit is there for a change, but the MIPS16 `st_other'
attribute gone, hmm... What does `objdump' do then:
$ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -Tt foobar-dyn | egrep 'SYMBOL|foo|bar'
foobar-dyn: file format elf32-tradbigmips
SYMBOL TABLE:
00000000 l df *ABS* 00000000 foobar.c

004009c0 g DF .text 00000004 Base 0xf0 foo
00410b80 g DO .data 00000004 Base fooi
$
Hmm, the attribute (0xf0, printed raw) is back, and the ISA bit gone
again.
Let's have a look at some DWARF-2 records GDB uses (I'll be stripping
off a lot here for brevity) -- debug info:

-- a-ha, the ISA bit is there! However it's not always right for some
reason, I don't have a small test case to show it, but here's an excerpt

-- see that "Advance PC by constant 17" there? It clears the ISA bit,
however code at 0x19646 is not standard MIPS code at all. For some
reason the constant is always 17, I've never seen DW_LNS_const_add_pc
used with any other value -- is that a binutils bug or what?
3. Solution:
I think we should retain the value of the ISA bit in code references,
that is effectively treat them as cookies as they indeed are (although
trivially calculated) rather than raw memory byte addresses.
In a perfect world both the static symbol table and the respective
DWARF-2 records should be fixed to include the ISA bit in all the cases.
I think however that this is infeasible.
All the uses of `_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing' can not necessarily be
tracked down. This function is used by `elf_slurp_symbol_table' that in
turn is used by `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' and
`bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab', which are public interfaces.
Similarly DWARF-2 records are used outside GDB, one notable if a bit
questionable is the exception unwinder (libgcc/unwind-dw2.c) -- I have
identified at least bits in `execute_cfa_program' and
`uw_frame_state_for', both around the calls to `_Unwind_IsSignalFrame',
that would need an update as they effectively flip the ISA bit freely;
see also the comment about MASK_RETURN_ADDR in gcc/config/mips/mips.h.
But there may be more places. Any change in how DWARF-2 records are
produced would require an update there and would cause compatibility
problems with libgcc.a binaries already distributed; given that this is
a static library a complex change involving function renames would
likely be required.
I propose therefore to accept the existing inconsistencies and deal with
them entirely within GDB. I have figured out that the ISA bit lost in
various places can still be recovered as long as we have symbol
information -- that'll have the `st_other' attribute correctly set to
one of standard MIPS/MIPS16/microMIPS encoding.
Here's the resulting change. It adds a couple of new `gdbarch' hooks,
one to update symbol information with the ISA bit lost in
`_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing', and two other ones to adjust DWARF-2
records as they're processed. The ISA bit is set in each address
handled according to information retrieved from the symbol table for the
symbol spanning the address if any; limits are adjusted based on the
address they point to related to the respective base address.
Additionally minimal symbol information has to be adjusted accordingly
in its gdbarch hook.
With these changes in place some complications with ISA bit juggling in
the PC that never fully worked can be removed from the MIPS backend.
Conversely, the generic dynamic linker event special breakpoint symbol
handler has to be updated to call the minimal symbol gdbarch hook to
record that the symbol is a MIPS16 or microMIPS address if applicable or
the breakpoint will be set at the wrong address and either fail to work
or cause SIGTRAPs (this is because the symbol is handled early on and
bypasses regular symbol processing).
4. Results obtained
The change fixes the example above -- to repeat only the crucial steps:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) print foo
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068d <+0>: jr ra
0x0040068f <+2>: li v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 bar () at foobar.c:9
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $2 = 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14128) exited with code 02]
(gdb)
-- excellent!
The change removes about 90 failures per MIPS16 multilib in mips-sde-elf
testing too, results for MIPS16 are now similar to that for standard
MIPS; microMIPS results are a bit worse because of host-I/O problems in
QEMU used instead of MIPSsim for microMIPS testing only:

breakpoint.c uses gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc to determine whether a
breakpoint location points at a permanent breakpoint:
static int
bp_loc_is_permanent (struct bp_location *loc)
{
...
addr = loc->address;
bpoint = gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc (loc->gdbarch, &addr, &len);
...
if (target_read_memory (loc->address, target_mem, len) == 0
&& memcmp (target_mem, bpoint, len) == 0)
retval = 1;
...
So I think we should default the gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint
hook to advancing the PC by the length of the breakpoint instruction,
as determined by gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc. I believe that simple
implementation does the right thing for most architectures. If
there's an oddball architecture where that doesn't work, then it
should override the hook, just like it should be overriding the hook
if there was no default anyway.
The only two implementation of skip_permanent_breakpoint are
i386_skip_permanent_breakpoint, for x86, and
hppa_skip_permanent_breakpoint, for PA-RISC/HP-UX
The x86 implementation is trivial, and can clearly be replaced by the
new default.
I don't know about the HP-UX one though, I know almost nothing about
PA. It may well be advancing the PC ends up being equivalent.
Otherwise, it must be that "jump $pc_after_bp" doesn't work either...

We have a case in solib-svr4.c where we could reuse symfile-mem.c's
vDSO range lookup. Since symfile-mem.c is not present in all
configurations solib-svr4.c is, move that lookup to a gdbarch hook.
This has the minor (good) side effect that we stop even trying the
target_auxv_search lookup against targets that don't have a concept of
a vDSO, in case symfile-mem.c happens to be linked in the build
(--enable-targets=all).
