PR symtab/12535 points out that gdb.decode_line("") will cause a
valgrind report.
I think the empty linespec does not really make sense. So, this patch
changes gdb.decode_line to treat a whitespace-only linespec the same
as a non-existing argument.

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.

The documentation for make-breakpoint from the Guile API and the `spec'
variant of the gdb.Breakpoint constructor from the Python API state that
the format acceptable for location strings is the same as that accepted
by the break command. However, using the -probe qualifier at the
beginning of the location string causes a GDB internal error as it
attempts to decode a probe location in the wrong code path. Without this
functionality, there doesn't appear to be another way to set breakpoints
on probe points from Python or Guile scripts.
This patch introduces a new helper function that returns a
breakpoint_ops instance appropriate for a parsed location and updates
the Guile and Python bindings to use said function, rather than the
current hard-coded use of bkpt_breakpoint_ops. Since this logic is
duplicated in the handling of the `break' and `trace' commands, those
are also updated to call into the new helper function.

Introduce a new class to wrap up the parameters needed for the
function search_symbols, which has now become a member function of
this new class.
The motivation is that search_symbols already takes a lot of

commit hopefully makes collecting the state required for a search
easier.
As part of this conversion the list of filenames in which to search
has been converted to a std::vector.

The problem seems to be created by gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter () releasing the GIL lock
too early:
~gdbpy_enter () does:
...
PyGILState_Release (m_state);
python_gdbarch = m_gdbarch;
python_language = m_language;
restore_active_ext_lang (m_previous_active);
}
So, it releases the GIL lock, does 2 assignments and then leads to the following
call sequence:
restore_active_ext_lang => check_quit_flag => python.c gdbpy_check_quit_flag
=> PyOS_InterruptOccurred => is_main.
is_main code is:
static int
is_main(_PyRuntimeState *runtime)
{
unsigned long thread = PyThread_get_thread_ident();
PyInterpreterState *interp = _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime)->interp;
return (thread == runtime->main_thread
&& interp == runtime->interpreters.main);
}
The macros and functions to access the thread state are documented as:
/* Variable and macro for in-line access to current thread
and interpreter state */
#define _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime) \
((PyThreadState*)_Py_atomic_load_relaxed(&(runtime)->gilstate.tstate_current))
/* Get the current Python thread state.
Efficient macro reading directly the 'gilstate.tstate_current' atomic
variable. The macro is unsafe: it does not check for error and it can
return NULL.
The caller must hold the GIL.
See also PyThreadState_Get() and PyThreadState_GET(). */
#define _PyThreadState_GET() _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(&_PyRuntime)
So, we see that GDB releases the GIL and then potentially calls
_PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState that needs the GIL.
It is not very clear why the problem is only observed when running under
Valgrind. Probably caused by the slowdown due to Valgrind and/or to the 'single
thread' scheduling by Valgrind.
This patch fixes the crashes by releasing the GIT lock later.
2019-11-26 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* python/python.c (gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter): Release GIL after
restore_active_ext_lang, as GIL is needed for (indirectly)
called PyOS_InterruptOccurred.

Most of the leaks in python tests are due to the fact that many
PyObject xxxxx_dealloc functions are missing the line to free self
or obj such as:
Py_TYPE (self)->tp_free (self);
or
Py_TYPE (obj)->tp_free (obj);
With this patch, the number of python tests leaking decreases from 52 to 12.

The leak is due to a superfluous Py_INCREF when the python object
is allocated inside gdbpy_breakpoint_created, when the python object
is allocated locally: this object has already a refcount of 1, and
the only reference is the reference from the C breakpoint object.
The Py_INCREF is however needed when the python object was created from
python: the python object was stored in bppy_pending_object, and
gdbpy_breakpoint_created creates a new reference to this object.
Solve the leak by calling 'Py_INCREF (newbp);' only in the bppy_pending_object
case.
Regression tested on debian/amd64 natively and under valgrind on centos/amd64.
Before the patch, 795 tests have a definite leak.
After the patch, 197 have a definite leak.
Thanks to Tom, that helped on irc with the python refcount logic.

2019-11-14 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoint_created):
only call Py_INCREF (newbp) in the bppy_pending_object case.
If gdb.lookup_static_symbol is going to return a single symbol then it
makes sense (I think) for it to return a context sensitive choice of
symbol, that is the global static symbol that would be visible to the
program at that point.
However, if the user of the python API wants to instead get a
consistent set of global static symbols, no matter where they stop,
then they have to instead consider all global static symbols with a
given name - there could be many. That is what this new API function

When using gdb.lookup_static_symbol I think that GDB should find
static symbols (global symbol with static linkage) from the current
object file ahead of static symbols from other object files.
This means that if we have two source files f1.c and f2.c, and both
files contains 'static int foo;', then when we are stopped in f1.c a
call to 'gdb.lookup_static_symbol ("foo")' will find f1.c::foo, and if
we are stopped in f2.c we would find 'f2.c::foo'.
Given that gdb.lookup_static_symbol always returns a single symbol,
but there can be multiple static symbols with the same name GDB is
always making a choice about which symbols to return. I think that it
makes sense for the choice GDB makes in this case to match what a user
would get on the command line if they asked to 'print foo'.

This changes command_line_input to return a "const char *", which is
appropriate because the memory is owned by command_line_input. Then
it fixes up the users.
I looked at making command_line_input transfer ownership to its caller
instead, but this is complicated due to the way read_next_line is
called, so I decided against it.
Tested by rebuilding.

The la_get_string member of struct language_defn was intended to

The documentation for Progspace.block_for_pc says:
Return the innermost gdb.Block containing the given pc value. If the
block cannot be found for the pc value specified, the function will
return None.
However, the implementation actually throws an error for invalid
addresses, like this:
(gdb) python print gdb.current_progspace ().block_for_pc (1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: Cannot locate object file for block.
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
This has been the behaviour since the command was first added (when
the documentation was still as above) in this commit:
commit f3e9a8177c
Date: Wed Feb 24 21:18:28 2010 +0000
Since that commit the code in question has moved around, but the
important parts are largely unchanged. The function in question is
now in py-progspace.c:pspy_block_for_pc.
Examining the code shows that the real state is more complex than just
the function throws an error instead of returning None, instead the
real situation is:
1. If we can't find a compilation unit for the $pc value then we
throw an error, but
2. If we can find a compilation unit, but can't find a block within
the compilation unit for the $pc then return None.
I suspect for most users of the Python API this distinction is
irrelevant, and I propose that we standardise on one single failure
mechanism.
Given the function can currently return None in some cases, and is
documented to return None on error, I propose we make that the case
for all error paths, which is what this patch does.
As the Progspace.block_for_pc method is currently untested, I've added
some basic tests including for a call with an invalid $pc.
This is potentially an API breaking change, though an undocumented
part of the API. Also, users should have been checking and handling a
None return value anyway, so my hope is that this shouldn't be too
disruptive.

* python/py-progspace.c (pspy_block_for_pc): Return None for all
error paths.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

I'm seeing this failure:
...
(gdb) print /x $bnd0 = {0x10, 0x20}^M
$23 = {lbound = 0x10, ubound = 0x20}^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-mpx.exp: verify size for bnd0
...
The test expects a pretty printer to be actived printing 'size 17':
...
set test_string ".*\\\: size 17.*"
gdb_test "print /x \$bnd0 = {0x10, 0x20}" "$test_string" "verify size for bnd0"
...
but that doesn't happen.
The pretty printer is for the type of the $bnd0 register, which is created
here in i386_bnd_type:
...
t = arch_composite_type (gdbarch,
"__gdb_builtin_type_bound128", TYPE_CODE_STRUCT);
append_composite_type_field (t, "lbound", bt->builtin_data_ptr);
append_composite_type_field (t, "ubound", bt->builtin_data_ptr);
TYPE_NAME (t) = "builtin_type_bound128";
...
And the pretty-printer is registered here in
gdb/python/lib/gdb/printer/bound_registers.py:
...
gdb.printing.add_builtin_pretty_printer ('mpx_bound128',
'^__gdb_builtin_type_bound128',
MpxBound128Printer)
...

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

dwarf2read.c will create stub types for Ada "Taft Amendment" types.
These stub types can currently be exposed to Python code, where they
show up as TYPE_CODE_VOID types (but that, mysteriously, can sometimes
be used in other ways).
While it's possible to work with such types by using strip_typedefs,
this seemed unpleasant to me. This patch takes another approach
instead, which is to try not to expose stub types to Python users.

Valgrind reports the below leak.
Make the variable progname_copy static, so that Valgrind continues
to find a pointer to the memory given to Python.
Note that the comment in do_start_initialization and the Python documentation
indicates that the progname given to Py_SetProgramName cannot be freed.
However, in Python 3.7.4, Py_SetProgramName does:
void
Py_SetProgramName(const wchar_t *program_name)
{
...
PyMem_RawFree(_Py_path_config.program_name);
_Py_path_config.program_name = _PyMem_RawWcsdup(program_name);
So, it looks like 3.7.4 Python duplicates its argument, which explains
the leak found by Valgrind.
It looks better to respect the doc and not have GDB freeing the string
given to Py_SetProgramName, and avoid the leak error by declaring
the progname_copy static.
This will work with Python versions that really use this string without
duplicating it, and avoids a leak report for Python version that duplicates
it.

PyFile_FromString and PyFile_AsFile have been removed in Python 3.
There is no obvious replacement that works here, and we can't just
pass our FILE* to a DLL in Windows because it may use a different

So we just call a Python function which reads and executes file
contents. Care must be taken to execute it in the context of

Armv8.3-a Pointer Authentication causes the function return address to be
obfuscated on entry to some functions. GDB must unmask the link register in
order to produce a backtrace.
The following patch adds markers of [PAC] to the bracktrace, to indicate
which addresses needed unmasking. This includes the backtrace when using MI.
For example, consider the following backtrace:
(gdb) bt
0 0x0000000000400490 in puts@plt ()
1 0x00000000004005dc in foo ("hello") at cbreak-lib.c:6
2 0x0000000000400604 [PAC] in bar () at cbreak-lib.c:12
3 0x0000000000400620 [PAC] in main2 () at cbreak.c:17
4 0x00000000004005b4 in main () at cbreak-3.c:10
The functions in cbreak-lib use pointer auth, which masks the return address
to the previous function, causing the addresses of bar (in the library) and main2
(in the main binary) to require unmasking in order to unwind the backtrace.
An extra bool is added alongside the prev_pc in the frame structure. At the
point at which the link register is unmasked, the AArch64 port calls into frame
to sets the bool. This is the most efficient way of doing it.
The marker is also added to the python frame printer, which is always printed if
set. The marker is not explicitly exposed to the python code.
I expect this will potentially cause issues with some tests in the testsuite
when Armv8.3 pointer authentication is used. This should be fixed up in the
the future once real hardware is available for full testsuite testing.

With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

New settings allow to better control what frame information is printed.
'set print frame-info' allows to override the default frame information
printed when a GDB command prints a frame.
The backtrace command has a new option -frame-info to override
this global setting.
It is now possible to have very short frame information by using the
new 'set print frame-arguments presence' and
'set print frame-info short-location'.
Combined with 'set print address off', a backtrace will only show
the essential information to see the function call chain, e.g.:
(gdb) set print address off
(gdb) set print frame-arguments presence
(gdb) set print frame-info short-location
(gdb) bt
#0 break_me ()
#1 call_me (...)
#2 main ()
(gdb)
This is handy in particular for big backtraces with functions having
many arguments.
Python frame filter printing logic has been updated to respect the new
setting in non MI mode.
Also, the default frame information printed was inconsistent when
backtrace was printing the frame information itself, or when the python
frame filtering code was printing the frame information.
This patch changes the default of python frame filtering to have a
consistent behaviour regarding printed frame-information, whatever
the presence/activity/matches of python filters.

* python/py-objfile.c (add_separate_debug_file): Fix comment about
this function's Python signature.
commit 05b08ac160 ("Reduce manual reference counting in
py-inferior.c") introduced a use-after-move bug in add_thread_object,
causing a test suite failure. This patch fixes the bug.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.

* python/py-inferior.c (add_thread_object): Don't use thread_obj
after it has been moved.
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.
