While doing some investigation of mine, i noticed a few typos,
inaccuracies and missing information.
I went ahead and updated/improved those.

2020-01-14 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_target::resume): Update comments.
* infrun.c (resume_1): Likewise.
(handle_inferior_event): Remove stale comment.
* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_target::resume): Update comments.

Currently, we can only support resuming multiple targets at the same
time if all targets are in non-stop mode (or user-visible all-stop
mode with target backend in non-stop mode).
This patch makes GDB error out if the user tries to resume more than
one target at the same time and one of the resumed targets isn't in
non-stop mode:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 process 15303 1 (native) a.out
* 2 process 15286 2 (extended-remote :9999) a.out
(gdb) set schedule-multiple on
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Connection 2 (extended-remote :9999) does not support multi-target resumption.
This is here later in the series instead of in the main multi-target
patch because it depends the previous patch, which added
process_stratum_target::connection_string().
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c: Include "target-connection.h".
(check_multi_target_resumption): New.
(proceed): Call it.
* target-connection.c (make_target_connection_string): Make
extern.
* target-connection.h (make_target_connection_string): Declare.
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.

Once each inferior has its own target stack, we'll need to make sure
that the right inferior is selected before we call into target
methods.
It kind of sounds worse than it is in practice. Not that many places
need to be concerned.
In thread.c, we add a new switch_to_thread_if_alive function that
centralizes the switching before calls to target_thread_alive. Other
cases are handled with explicit switching.

In non-stop mode, if you resume the program in the background (with
"continue&", for example), then gdb makes sure to not switch the
current thread behind your back. That means that you can be sure that
the commands you type apply to the thread you selected, even if some
other thread that was running in the background hits some event just
while you're typing.
In all-stop mode, however, if you resume the program in the
background, gdb let's the current thread switch behind your back.
This is bogus, of course. All-stop and non-stop background
resumptions should behave the same.
This patch fixes that, and adds a testcase that exposes the bad
behavior in current master.
The fork-running-state.exp changes are necessary because that
preexisting testcase was expecting the old behavior:
Before:
continue &
Continuing.
(gdb)
[Attaching after process 8199 fork to child process 8203]
[New inferior 2 (process 8203)]

2.1 process 24664 "fork-running-st" (running)
(gdb)
Here we see that before this patch GDB switches current inferior to
the new inferior behind the user's back, as a side effect of handling
the fork.
The delete_exited_threads call in inferior_appeared is there to fix an
issue that Baris found in a previous version of this patch. The
fetch_inferior_event change increases the refcount of the current
thread, and in case the fetched inferior event denotes a thread exit,
the thread will not be deleted right away. A non-deleted but exited
thread stays in the inferior's thread list. This, in turn, causes the
"init_thread_list" call in inferior.c to be skipped. A consequence is
that the global thread ID counter is not restarted if the current
thread exits, and then the inferior is restarted:
(gdb) start

Notice that GId == 2 above. It should have been "1" instead.

I recently noticed the following behavior while debugging
dw2-ranges-func-low-cold. This is one of the test programs associated
with the test gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp.
(gdb) b 70
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401129: file dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c, line 70.
(gdb) run
Starting program: dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold
Breakpoint 1, foo ()
at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:70
70 if (e) foo_cold (); /* foo foo_cold call */
(gdb) set var e=1
(gdb) step
[Inferior 1 (process 12545) exited normally]
This is incorrect. When stepping, we expect a step to occur. We do not
expect the program to exit. Instead, we should see the following behavior:
...
(gdb) set var e=1
(gdb) step
foo ()
at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:54
54 baz (); /* foo_cold baz call */
(Note that I've shortened the paths in the above sessions to improve
readability.)
The bug is in fill_in_stop_func() in infrun.c. While working on
non-contiguous address range improvements in 2018, I replaced the
call to find_pc_partial_function() with a call to
find_function_entry_range_from_pc(). Although this seemed like the
right thing to do at the time, I now think that calling
find_pc_partial_function (along with some other tweaks) is the right
thing to do.
For blocks with a single contiguous range, these functions do pretty
much the same thing: when the function succeeds, the function name,
start address, and end address are all filled in. Additionally,
find_pc_partial_function contains an additional output parameter
which is set to the block containing that PC.
For blocks with non-contiguous ranges, find_pc_partial_function
sets the start and end addresses to the start and end addresses
of the range containing the pc. find_function_entry_range_from_pc
does what it says; it sets the start and end addresses to those
of the range containing the entry pc.
The reason that I had thought that using the entry pc range was
correct is due to the fact that fill_in_stop_func() contains some
code for advancing past the function start and entry point. To do
this, we'd need the range that contains the entry pc.
However, when stepping, we actually want the range that contains the
stop pc. If that range also contains the entry pc, we should then
attempt to advance stop_func_start past the start offset and entry
point. (I haven't thought very hard about the reason for advancing
the stop_func_start in this manner. Since it's been there for quite
a while, I'm assuming that it's still a good idea.)
Back when I wrote the test case, I had included a test for doing the
step shown in the example above. I had problems with it, however. At
the time, I thought it was due to differing compiler versions, so I
disabled that portion of the test. I have now reenabled those tests,
but have left in place the logic which may be used to disable it.
The changes to dw2-ranges-func.exp depend on my other recent changes
to the file which have not been pushed yet.
Finally, I'll note that the only caller of
find_function_entry_range_from_pc() is/was fill_in_stop_func(). Once
this commit goes in, it'll be dead code. I considered removing it,
but I think that it ought to be used (instead of
find_pc_partial_function) for determining the correct range to scan
for prologue analysis, so I'm going to leave it in place for now.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (fill_in_stop_func): Use find_pc_partial_function
instead of find_function_entry_range_from_pc.
testsuite/ChangeLog:

This replaces uses of field_fmt with a "%s" format string to use
field_string instead. Also, one use of "%9lx" is replaced with a call
to phex_nz; the '9' is dropped as it is implicit in the field width.

When debugging any of the testcases added by this commit, which do a
vfork in a thread with "set follow-fork-mode child" + "set
detach-on-fork on", we run into this assertion:
...
src/gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: \
void x86_linux_update_debug_registers(lwp_info*): \
Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed.
...
The assert is caused by the following: the vfork-child exit or exec
event is handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, which calls
target_detach to detach from the vfork parent. During target_detach
we call linux_nat_target::detach, which:
#1 - stops all the threads
#2 - waits for all the threads to be stopped
#3 - detaches all the threads
However, during the second step we run into this code in
stop_wait_callback:
...
/* If this is a vfork parent, bail out, it is not going to report
any SIGSTOP until the vfork is done with. */
if (inf->vfork_child != NULL)
return 0;
...
and we don't wait for the threads to be stopped, which results in this
assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers triggering during the third
step:
...
gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp));
...
The fix is to reset the vfork parent's vfork_child field before
calling target_detach in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit. There's
already similar code for the other paths handled by
handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, so this commit refactors the code a
bit so that all paths share the same code.
The new tests cover both a vfork child exiting, and a vfork child
execing, since both cases would trigger the assertion.
The new testcases also exercise following the vfork children with "set
detach-on-fork off", since it doesn't seem to be tested anywhere.
Tested on x86_64-linux, using native and native-gdbserver.

The test gdb.threads/watchthreads-reorder.exp verifies that the
'set debug infrun 1' debug output does not crash GDB.
Under high load, the test can still cause a GDB internal error (see details
below).
This patch fixes this crash, and improves/factorises some wait kind traces.
Tested on debian/amd64 + run one test with 'set debug infrun 1'.
Changes compared to the first version:
* Handles the suggestions of Kevin to trace the relevant elements
of the wait status (this is done by calling target_waitstatus_to_string).
* Some other changes to factorise wait status tracing.
Note that using target_waitstatus_to_string instead of the 'locally printed'
status kind strings means that debug trace that was using strings such as:
"EXITED" or "TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED"
will now use what is printed by target_waitstatus_to_string e.g.
"exited".
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-04-01 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* infrun.c (stop_all_threads): If debug_infrun, always
trace the wait status after wait_one, using
target_waitstatus_to_string and target_pid_to_str.
(handle_inferior_event): Replace various trace of
wait status kind by a single trace.
* gdb/gnu-nat.c (gnu_nat_target::wait): Replace local
wait status kind image by target_waitstatus_to_string.
* target/waitstatus.c (target_waitstatus_to_string): Fix
obsolete comment.

When running under valgrind, multi-arch-exec.exp blocks forever.
Some (painful) investigation shows this is due to valgrind slowing
down GDB, and GDB has to output some messages at a different time,
when GDB does not have the terminal for output.
To reproduce the problem, you need to slow down GDB.
It can be reproduced by:
cd gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec/
../../../../gdb -ex 'set debug lin-lwp 1' -ex 'break all_started' -ex 'run' ./2-multi-arch-exec
The above stops at a breakpoint. Do continue.
GDB is then suspended because of SIGTTOU.
The stacktrace that leads to the hanging GDB is:
(top-gdb) bt
at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/exceptions.c:130
....
Alternatively, the same happens when doing
strace -o s.out ../../../../gdb -ex 'break all_started' -ex 'run' ./2-multi-arch-exec
And of course, valgrind is also sufficiently slowing down GDB to
reproduce this :).
Fix this by calling target_terminal::ours_for_output ();
at the beginning of follow_exec.
Note that all this terminal handling is not very clear to me:
* Some code takes the terminal, and then takes care to give it back to the inferior
if the terminal was belonging to the inferior.
(e.g. annotate_breakpoints_invalid).
* some code takes the terminal, but does not give it back
(e.g. update_inserted_breakpoint_locations).
* some code takes it, and unconditionally gives it back
(e.g. handle_jit_event)
* here and there, we also find
gdb::optional<target_terminal::scoped_restore_terminal_state> term_state;
before a (sometimes optional) call to ours_for_output.
And such calls to ours_for_output is sometimes protected by:
if (target_supports_terminal_ours ())
(e.g. exceptions.c: print_flush).
but most of the code calls it without checking if the target supports it.
* some code is outputting some errors, but only takes the terminal
after. E.g. infcmd.c: prepare_one_step

I noticed that handle_inferior_event is just a small wrapper that
frees the value chain. This patch replaces it with a
scoped_value_mark, reducing the number of lines of code here.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-03-20 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Rename from
handle_inferior_event_1. Create a scoped_value_mark.
(handle_inferior_event): Remove.
If you run "gdb -i=mi2" and set a "display", then when "next"ing the
displays will be shown twice:
~"1: x = 23\n"
~"7\t printf(\"%d\\n\", x);\n"
~"1: x = 23\n"
*stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame={addr="0x0000000000400565",func="main",args=[],file="q.c",fullname="/tmp/q.c",line="7"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="1"
The immediate cause of this is this code in mi_on_normal_stop_1:
print_stop_event (mi_uiout);
console_interp = interp_lookup (current_ui, INTERP_CONSOLE);
if (should_print_stop_to_console (console_interp, tp))
print_stop_event (mi->cli_uiout);
... which obviously prints the stop twice.
However, I think the first call to print_stop_event is intended just
to emit the MI *stopped notification, which explains why the source
line does not show up two times.
This patch fixes the bug by changing print_stop_event to only call
do_displays for non-MI-like ui-outs.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED doesn't have an associated event thread, so
we shouldn't be referring to inferior_thread() assuming it points to
one.
This was caught on the multi-target branch, where we always switch to
no-thread-selected whenever we start handling an event, exactly to
catch places that incorrectly use "inferior_ptid/inferior_thread()"
without switching to the right event thread / target.
Here, on the branch, we assert in inferior_thread() because
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED doesn't have an associated event thread, so
inferior_ptid is still null_ptid.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (normal_stop): Also check for
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED before referring to inferior_thread().
This changes displaced_step_clear_cleanup to be a forward_scope_exit
and updates the callers.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-03-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* infrun.c (displaced_step_clear_cleanup): Now a
forward_scope_exit type.
(displaced_step_prepare_throw): Update.
(displaced_step_fixup): Update.
A customer noticed some mildly odd MI output, where CLI output was
split into multiple MI strings at unusual boundaries, like this:
~"$1 = (b => true"
~", p => 0x407260"
This is technically correct according to the MI spec, but still
unusual, in that there's no particular reason for the string to be
split where it is.
I tracked this down to a call to gdb_flush in generic_val_print.
Then, I went through all calls to gdb_flush and removed the ones I
thought were superfluous. In particular:
* Any call in the value-printing code;
* Likewise the type-printing code (just a single call); and
* Any call that immediately followed a printf that obviously
ended with a newline, my belief being that gdb's standard output
streams are line buffered (by inheriting the behavior from stdio)
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.
I didn't add a new test case. I tend to think we don't necessarily
want to specify this behavior in the tests. Let me know what you
think of this.

This replaces the pointer and length parameters of target_pass_signals
and target_program_signals with a gdb::array_view parameter, and fixes
the fallout.
In infrun.c, the signal_stop, signal_print, signal_program,
signal_catch, signal_pass globals are currently pointers to
heap-allocated memory. I see no point in that, so I converted them to
arrays. This allows simplifying the calls to
target_pass_signals/target_program_signals, since we can pass the
array directly, which can implicitly convert to gdb::array_view.

This patch moves the per-inferior data related to displaced stepping to
be directly in the inferior structure, rather than in a container on the
side.
On notable difference is that previously, we deleted the state on
inferior exit, which guaranteed a clean state if re-using the inferior
for a new run or attach. We now need to reset the state manually.
At the same time, I changed step_saved_copy to be a gdb::byte_vector, so
it is automatically freed on destruction (which should plug the leak
reported here [1]).

gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
I ran into a situation where attempting to make an inferior function
call would trigger an assertion, like this:
(gdb) call some_inferior_function ()
../../src/gdb/regcache.c:310: internal-error: void regcache::restore(readonly_detached_regcache*): Assertion `src != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
The problem that triggers the assertion is that in the function
save_infcall_suspend_state, we basically did this:
1. Create empty infcall_suspend_state object.
2. Fill fields of infcall_suspend_state object.
The problem is causes is that if filling any of the fields triggered
an exception then the infcall_suspend_state object would be deleted
while in a partially filled in state.
In the specific case I encountered, I had a remote RISC-V target that
claimed in its target description to support floating point registers.
However, this was not true, and when GDB tried to read a floating
point register the remote sent back an error. This error would cause
an exception to be thrown while creating the
readonly_detached_regcache, which in turn caused GDB to try and delete
an infcall_suspend_state which didn't have any register state, and
this triggered the assertion.
To prevent this problem we have two possibilities, either, rewrite the
restore code the handle partially initialised infcall_suspend_state
objects, or, prevent partially initialised infcall_suspend_state
objects from existing. The second of these seems like a better
solution.
So, in this patch, I move the filling in of the different
infcall_suspend_state fields within a new constructor for
infcall_suspend_state. Now, if generating one of those fields fails
the destructor for infcall_suspend_state will not be executed and GDB
will not try to restore the partially saved state.
With this patch in place GDB now behaves like this:
(gdb) call some_inferior_function ()
Could not fetch register "ft0"; remote failure reply 'E99'
(gdb)
The inferior function call is aborted due to the error.
This has been tested against x86-64/Linux native, native-gdbserver,
and native-extended-gdbserver with no regressions. I've manually
tested this against my baddly behaving target and confirmed the
inferior function call is aborted as described above.

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.

A following commit to make each inferior have its own thread list
exposes a problem with bf93d7ba99 ("Add thread after updating gdbarch
when exec'ing"), which is that we can't defer adding the thread
because that breaks try_open_exec_file which deep inside ends up
calling inferior_thread():

The problem is latent currently because inferior_thread() at that
point manages to return a thread, even though it's the wrong one (of
the old inferior).
The problem originally fixed by bf93d7ba99 was:
(...) we should avoid doing register reads
after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's
gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
architecture.
(...) The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is
problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid
is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to
update stop_pc). (...)
The register-reading issue is no longer a problem nowadays, ever since
switch_to_thread stopped reading the stop_pc in git commit
f2ffa92bbc ("gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global").
So this commit basically reverts bf93d7ba99.
gdb/ChangeLog:

Here's a summary of PR 23368:
#include <unistd.h>
int main (void)
{
char *exec_args[] = { "/bin/ls", NULL };
execve (exec_args[0], exec_args, NULL);
}
$ gdb -nx t -ex "catch exec" -ex "set follow-exec-mode new" -ex run
...
[1] + 13146 suspended (tty output) gdb -q -nx t -ex "catch exec" -ex "set follow-exec-mode new" -ex run
$
Here's what happens: when the inferior execs with "follow-exec-mode
new", we first "mourn" it before creating the new one. This ends up
calling inflow_inferior_exit, which sets the per-inferior terminal state
to "is_ours":
inf->terminal_state = target_terminal_state::is_ours;
At this point, the inferior's terminal_state is is_ours, while the
"reality", tracked by gdb_tty_state, is is_inferior (GDB doesn't own the
terminal).
Later, we continue processing the exec inferior event and decide we want
to stop (because of the "catch exec") and call target_terminal::ours to
make sure we own the terminal. However, we don't actually go to the
target backend to change the settings, because the core thinks that no
inferior owns the terminal (inf->terminal_state is
target_terminal_state::is_ours, as checked in
target_terminal_is_ours_kind, for both inferiors). When something in
readline tries to mess with the terminal settings, it generates a
SIGTTOU.
This patch fixes this by tranferring the state of the terminal from the
old inferior to the new inferior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/23368

transfer terminal state from old new new inferior.
* terminal.h (swap_terminal_info): New function.

This fixes all the straightforward -Wshadow=local warnings in gdb. A
few standard approaches are used here:
* Renaming an inner (or outer, but more commonly inner) variable;
* Lowering a declaration to avoid a clash;
* Moving a declaration into a more inner scope to avoid a clash,
including the special case of moving a declaration into a loop header.
I did not consider any of the changes in this patch to be particularly
noteworthy, though of course they should all still be examined.
