PR python/17981 notes that gdb.breakpoints() returns None when there
are no breakpoints; whereas an empty list or tuple would be more in
keeping with Python and the documentation.
This patch fixes the bug by changing the no-breakpoint return to make
an empty tuple.

When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir
for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them.
Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program
is multi threaded and linked with pthreads. Thus when GDB soon after
attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll
add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found
lower-level LWPs.
If, however, GDB fails to find/load a matching libthread_db, nothing
is adding the LWPs to the thread list. And because of that, "detach"
hits an internal error:

Hacking the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test to
spawn thousands of threads instead of dozens, and running gdb under
perf, I saw that GDB was spending most of the time in find_lwp_pid:
- captured_main

- 87.41% attach_command
- 87.40% linux_nat_attach

+ 0.24% set_executing
0.12% ptid_get_lwp
+ 0.01% ptrace
+ 0.01% add_lwp
attach_proc_task_lwp_callback is called once for each LWP that we
attach to, found by listing the /proc/PID/task/ directory. In turn,
attach_proc_task_lwp_callback calls find_lwp_pid to check whether the
LWP we're about to try to attach to is already known. Since
find_lwp_pid does a linear walk over the whole LWP list, this becomes
quadratic. We do the /proc/PID/task/ listing until we get two
iterations in a row where we found no new threads. So the second and
following times we walk the /proc/PID/task/ dir, we're going to take
an even worse find_lwp_pid hit.
Fix this by adding a hash table keyed by LWP PID, for fast lookup.
The linked list embedded in the LWP structure itself is kept, and made
a double-linked list, so that removals from that list are O(1). An
earlier version of this patch got rid of this list altogether, but
that revealed hidden dependencies / assumptions on how the list is
sorted. For example, killing a process and then waiting for all the
LWPs status using iterate_over_lwps only works as is because the
leader LWP is always last in the list. So I thought it better to take
an incremental approach and make this patch concern itself _only_ with
the PID lookup optimization.

Hacking the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test to
spawn thousands of threads instead of dozens, I saw GDB having trouble
keeping up with threads being spawned too fast, when it tried to stop
them all. This was because while gdb is doing that, it updates the
thread list to make sure no new thread has sneaked in that might need
to be paused. It does this a few times until it sees no-new-threads
twice in a row. The thread listing update itself is not that
expensive, however, in the Linux backend, updating the threads list
calls linux_common_core_of_thread for each LWP to record on which core
each LWP was last seen running, which opens/reads/closes a /proc file
for each LWP which becomes expensive when you need to do it for
thousands of LWPs.
perf shows gdb in linux_common_core_of_thread 44% of the time, in the
stop_all_threads -> update_thread_list path in this use case.
This patch simply makes linux_common_core_of_thread avoid updating the
core the thread is bound to if the thread hasn't run since the last
time we updated that info. This makes linux_common_core_of_thread
disappear into the noise in the perf report.

Hacking the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test to
spawn thousands of threads instead of dozens to stress and debug
timeout problems with gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp,
I saw that GDB would spend several seconds just reading the
/proc/PID/smaps file, to determine the vDSO mapping range. GDB opens
and reads the whole file just once, and caches the result, but even
that is too slow. For example, with almost 8000 threads:
$ ls /proc/3518/task/ | wc -l
7906
reading the /proc/PID/smaps file grepping for "vdso" takes over 15
seconds :
$ time cat /proc/3518/smaps | grep vdso
7ffdbafee000-7ffdbaff0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
real 0m15.371s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m15.017s
Looking around the web for hints, I found a nice description of the
issue here:
http://backtrace.io/blog/blog/2014/11/12/large-thread-counts-and-slow-process-maps/
The problem is that /proc/PID/smaps wants to show the mappings as
being thread stack, and that has the kernel iterating over all threads
in the thread group, for each mapping.
The fix is to use the "map" file under /proc/PID/task/PID/ instead of
the /proc/PID/ one, as the former doesn't mark thread stacks for all
threads.
That alone drops the timing to the millisecond range on my machine:
$ time cat /proc/3518/task/3518/smaps | grep vdso
7ffdbafee000-7ffdbaff0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
real 0m0.150s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m0.084s
And since we only need the vdso mapping's address range, we can use
"maps" file instead of "smaps", and it's even cheaper:
/proc/PID/task/PID/maps :
$ time cat /proc/3518/task/3518/maps | grep vdso
7ffdbafee000-7ffdbaff0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]

enough that GDB core has trouble keeping up with new threads that are
spawned while trying to stop existing ones.
I saw the exact same issue with remote/gdbserver a while ago and fixed
it in 65706a29ba (Remote thread create/exit events) so part of the
fix here is the exact same -- add support for thread created events to
gdb/linux-nat.c. infrun.c:stop_all_threads enables those events when
it tries to stop threads, which ensures that new threads never get a
chance to themselves start new threads, thus fixing the race.

This fixes PR python/19438 and PR python/18393. Both bugs are about
invoking dir() on some Python object implemented by gdb, and getting a
crash.
The crash happens because the dictionary field of these objects was
not initialized. Apparently what happens is that this field can be
lazily initialized by Python when assigning to an attribute; and it
can also be handled ok when using dir() but without __dict__ defined;
but gdb defines __dict__ because this isn't supplied automatically by
Python.
The docs on this seem rather sparse, but this patch works ok.
An alternative might be to lazily create the dictionary in
gdb_py_generic_dict, but I went with this approach because it seemed
more straightforward.

Add a new test for PR 20039. The test spawns new threads, then tries to
interrupt, continue, and interrupt again. This use case was fixed by
commit 5fe966540d in master, but gdb 7.11
is affected (so if you try it on the gdb-7.11-branch right now, the test
will fail).
New in v2, the test now handles mi-async on mode properly. The failure
was specific to mi-async off, but I don't think it's bad to test the
same thing under async on mode. I added a little hack when running in
async mode to work around bug 20045.
I also removed one continue/interrupt pair, as a single one was enough to
trigger the problem.

* gdb.mi/mi-threads-interrupt.c: New file.
* gdb.mi/mi-threads-interrupt.exp: New file.
When you use a run control command (-exec-run, -exec-continue,
-exec-next, ...) with mi-async on, an extra (gdb) prompt is displayed:
-exec-continue
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
(gdb)
It doesn't seem to be a big problem for front-ends, since this behavior
started in gdb 7.9 and we haven't heard anything about that. However,
it caused me some trouble while writing a test for PR 20039 [1].
The problem comes from an extra (gdb) prompt that we write when running
in mi-async off mode to emulate a past buggy behavior. When executing a
run control command synchronously, previous gdbs always printed a prompt
right away, even though they are not ready to accept new MI commands
until the target stops. Only at this time should they display a prompt.
But to keep backwards compatibility apparently, we print it anyway.
Since commit 198297aaf, the condition that decides whether we should
print that "bogus" prompt or not has become true, even when running with
mi-async on. Since we already print a prompt at the end of the
asynchronous command execution, it results in two prompts for one
command.
The proposed fix is to call target_can_async_p instead of
target_is_async_p, to make the condition:
if (!target_can_async_p () || sync_execution)
... show prompt ...
That shows the prompt if we are emulating a synchronous command on top
of an asynchronous target (sync_execution) or if the target simply can't
run asynchronously (!target_can_async_p ()).
Note that this code is changed and this bug fixed by Pedro's separate
console series, but I think it would be nice to have it fixed in the
mean time.
I ran the gdb.mi directory of the testsuite with mi-async on and off, I
didn't see any regressions.

[1] https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-05/msg00075.html
When doing -exec-run on a freshly started GDB, the only target on the
target stack at the time the dummy one. When mi_async_p is called to
know whether the run should be async, it queries whether the current
target (dummy) supports async, and the answer is no. The fix is to make
the code query the target that will be used for the run, which is not
necessarily the current target.
No regressions in the gdb.mi directory using the unix, native-gdbserver
and native-extended-gdbserver boards. The test doesn't pass when
forcing maint set target-async off, obviously, since it makes mi-async
have no effect. It doesn't seem like other tests are checking for that
eventuality, so I didn't in the new test.

The intent is that self tests will only be compiled into gdb in

exposes $development to C code as GDB_SELF_TEST.
In development mode, test functions are registered with the self test
module. A test function is just a function that does some checks, and
throws an exception on failure.
Then this adds a new "maint selftest" command which invokes the test
functions, and a new dejagnu test case that invokes it.

batch-preserve-term-settings.exp fails if the shell prompt isn't $. It
is # in our testing env. In fact, the shell prompt can be anything.
The perfect solution would be "set_board_info shell_prompt" in the
host board file, and use board_info shell_prompt in
batch-preserve-term-settings.exp. This is a little bit overkill to
me, and we still need to figure out the different prompts on different
shells. I also tried to start shell with the prompt preset, but there is
not unique way to set shell prompt in different shells, so I give up.
It is reasonably simple to match either $ or # for the shell prompt, and
we can easily extend it to match other char, like >.

that it requires support for "running", ruling out stub-like targets.

This patch introduces the use_gdb_stub procedure, which allows getting
the right value of the use_gdb_stub variable/property in any all
situations.
When calling it before the $use_gdb_stub global variable has been set,
it will return the value of the use_gdb_stub property from the board
file. This happens when tests want to bail out early (even before gdb
has been started) when the current test setup is a stub.
Otherwise, it returns the value of the $use_gdb_stub global.
It's possible for these two to differ when a test file overrides the
value of the global.

GDB's use of --dynamic-list to only export the proc-service symbols is
broken due to Python's "python-config --ldflags" saying we should link
with -export-dynamic, causing us to export _all_ extern symbols
anyway. On Fedora 23:
$ python-config --ldflags
-lpython2.7 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
$ python3.4-config --ldflags
-L/usr/lib64 -lpython3.4m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
Having GDB export all its symbols leads to issues such as PR gdb/16818
(GDB crashes when using name for target remote hostname:port), where a
GDB symbol unintentionally preempts a symbol in one of the NSS modules
glibc loads into the process. NSS modules should not define symbols
outside the implementation namespace or the relevant standards, but,
alas, that's a longstanding and hard to fix issue. See libc-alpha
discussion at:
[symbol name space issues with NSS modules]
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-04/msg00130.html
Python should instead be either using GCC's symbol visibility feature
or -Wl,--dynamic-list as well, to only export Python API symbols, but,
it doesn't. There are bugs open upstream for that:
[Use -Wl,--dynamic-list=x.list, not -Xlinker -export-dynamic]
http://bugs.python.org/issue10112
[Use GCC visibility attrs in PyAPI_*]
http://bugs.python.org/issue11410
But that's taking a long while to resolve.
I thought of working around this Python issue by making GDB build with
-fvisibility=hidden, as Jan suggests in Python issue 10112, as then
Python's "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" has no effect. However, that
would need to be done in the whole source tree (bfd, libiberty, etc.),
and I think that would break GCC plugins, as I believe those have
access to all of GCCs symbols, by "design". So we'd need a new
configure switch, or have the libraries in the tree detect which of
GCC or GDB is being built, but that doesn't work, because the answer
can be "both" with combined builds...
So this patch instead works around Python's bug, by simply sed'ing
away "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" from the result of python-config.py
--ldflags, making -Wl,--dynamic-list work again as it used to. It's
ugly, but so is the bug...
Note that if -Wl,--dynamic-list doesn't work, we always link with
-rdynamic, so static Python should still work.
Tested on F23 with --python=python (Python 2.7) and
--python=python3.4.

This test seems to work with both native-gdbserver and
native-extended-gdbserver, so I removed the remote check.
When running with native-gdbserver (a stub-like target), detach makes
gdbserver stop and gdb disconnect. runto_main just spawns a brand new
gdbserver. So it tests the exact same thing twice. It doesn't hurt
though.
With native-extended-gdbserver, the test is probably a bit more useful
(and similar to native). It tests running/detaching twice using the
same gdb/gdbserver instances, since with extended-remote, you can
detach/attach/run all you want, unlike with remote.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/detach.exp: Remove is_remote check.
The comment says that we can't use runto_main here becore it doesn't
know how to handle annotation. Instead, the test puts a breakpoint at
main and calls run by hand. Therefore, it can't work with stub targets,
since they can't "run". The check should be then changed to check the
use_gdb_stub variable instead of [is_remote target].
But as an alternative, we can just use runto_main and enable annotations
after, since the "run to main" part is not really part of what we want
to test.
I also removed the "set test..." line that is unused.

This patch adds a test for tracepoints enabling/disabling, which

* gdb.trace/trace-enable-disable.exp: New file.
* gdb.trace/trace-enable-disable.c: New file.
I am sending this fix on behalf of Par Olsson, as a follow-up of this
one:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-10/msg00196.html
This problem is exposed when enabling/disabling fast tracepoints on big
endian machines. The flag is defined as an int8_t, but is written from
gdbserver as an integer (usually 32 bits). When the agent code reads it
as an int8_t, it only considers the most significant byte, which is
always 0.
Also, we were writing 32 bits in an 8 bits field, so the write would
overflow, but since the following bytes are padding (the next field is
an uint64_t), it luckily didn't cause any issue on little endian
systems.
The fix was originally tested on ARM big endian systems, but I don't
have access to such a system. However, thanks to Marcin's PowerPC fast
tracepoint patches and gcc110 (big endian Power7) on the gcc compile
farm, I was able to reproduce the problem, test the fix and write a
test (the following patch).
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
YYYY-MM-DD Par Olsson <par.olsson@windriver.com>
* tracepoint.c (write_inferior_int8): New function.
(cmd_qtenable_disable): Write enable flag using
write_inferior_int8.
Some fast tracepoints tests make sure that the in-process agent library
is properly loaded, by searching for the library name in "info
sharedlibrary".
Originally, it would search for the full path. Since patch "Make ftrace
tests work with remote targets" [1], the "runtime" location of the IPA,
in the standard output directory, is not the same as the original
location, in the gdbserver build directory. Therefore, the patch
changed the checks:
gdb_test "info sharedlibrary" ".*${libipa}.*" "IPA loaded"
to
gdb_test "info sharedlibrary" ".*[file tail ${libipa}].*" "IPA loaded"
so that only the "libinproctrace.so" part would be searched for.
Antoine (in CC) pointed out that I missed some, so I have to update
them. In the mean time, I noticed that I missed a few test failures:
adding the SONAME to the IPA makes it possible for the test executable
to erroneously pick up libinproctrace.so from /usr/lib if the test
harness failed to put the libinproctrace.so we want to test in the right
place. To mitigate that kind of error in the future, we can use the
return value of gdb_load_shlib (the path of the "runtime" version of the
library) and use that to search in the output of info sharedlibrary.
When testing locally, gdb_load_shlib returns the full normalized path of
the destination library, which the test executable should use e.g.:
/path/to/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.trace/thetest/libinproctrace.so
My testing showed that it was the same path that gdb displayed in info
sharedlibrary. If the test executable picks up another
libinproctrace.so, the test will fail.
When testing remotely, gdb_load_shlib/gdb_remote_download only returns
us "libinproctrace.so", so the situation doesn't really change. If
there is a rogue libinproctrace.so in /usr/lib on the target and we fail
to download ours, it might cover up a test failure. But that situation
is probably still better than the original one, where it wasn't possible
to test remotely using the IPA at all.

Hi,
I happen to see that field need_step_over in struct lwp_info is only
used to print a debug info. need_step_over is set in linux_wait_1
when breakpoint_here is true, however, we check breakpoint_here too in
need_step_over_p and do the step over. I think we don't need field
need_step_over, and check breakpoint_here directly in need_step_over_p.
This field was added in this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00605.html and the code
wasn't changed much since then.
This patch is to remove it.

This patch makes gdb_load_shlibs return the destination path of the
copied library. To make the procedure implementation and interface more
straightforward, it also changes it so that it accepts a single shared
library path at the time. Therefore, calls that are passed multiple
libraries:
gdb_load_shlibs $lib1 $lib2
must be changed to separate calls:
gdb_load_shlibs $lib1
gdb_load_shlibs $lib2
A subtle impact is the solib-search-path handling. In the former
version, solib-search-path is set using the directory of the first
passed lib (further calls overwrite the value). In the later version,
the directory of the library passed to the last call to gdb_load_shlibs
remnains. I don't think that's a problem in practice, since if we had
tests that needed multiple different paths in solib-search-path, they
wouldn't work in the first place.

I get a timeout fail in branch-to-self.exp when it is compiled by a

Currently c_value_print will turn struct reference values into pointers before
doing a set of RTTI checks. This was introduced as a fix to PR c++/15401.
If there's RTTI the pointer will be adjusted and converted back to a reference.
However, if there's no RTTI the value will still be treated as a pointer during
the remainder of the function.
This patch moves the conversion down so that it's always performed when needed.
Notice this currently has not user-visible effects, so can be seen as a small
code cleanup. However, it'll be necessary for the bug-fix for handling
synthetic C++ references. It causes no testsuite regressions.

In some babeltrace versions before 1.2.0, the header file iterator.h
declares the enum values `BT_SEEK_*' within the struct declaration of
bt_iter_pos. The enum values are supposed to be globally-scoped, which
works for C, but not for C++. Later babeltrace versions declare the
enum outside the struct:
https://lists.lttng.org/pipermail/lttng-dev/2013-September/021411.html
Now that GDB is compiled with C++, the GDB build fails on a system with
an affected babeltrace version: the compiler complains about a missing
declaration of BT_SEEK_BEGIN in ctf.c.
This patch enhances the configure check to recognize such babeltrace
versions as unusable for GDB.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Enhance configure check for babeltrace to reject
non-C++-enabled versions.
* configure: Regenerate.
Instead of pre-computing indices into a fortran array re-use
the value_* interfaces to subscript a fortran array.
The benefit of using the new interface is that it takes care of
dynamic types and resolve them when needed.
This fixes issues when printing structures with dynamic arrays from toplevel.

When GDBserver steps over a breakpoint using software single step, it
enqueues the signal, single step and deliver the signal in the next
resume if step over is not needed. In this way, the program won't
receive the signal if the conditional breakpoint is set a branch to
self instruction, because the step over is always needed.
This patch removes the restriction that don't deliver the signal to
the inferior if we are trying to reinsert a breakpoint for software
single step and change the decision on resume vs. step-over when the
LWP has pending signals to deliver.
gdb/gdbserver:
2016-04-25 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-low.c (lwp_signal_can_be_delivered): Adjust.
(need_step_over_p): Return zero if the LWP has pending signals
can be delivered on software single step target.
GDBserver steps over a breakpoint while the single step breakpoint
is inserted at the same address, there are two breakpoint objects
using single raw breakpoint, which is inserted (for single step).
When step over is finished, GDBserver reinsert the breakpoint, but
it finds the raw breakpoint is already inserted, and error out
"Breakpoint already inserted at reinsert time." Even if I change the
order to delete reinsert breakpoints first (which only decreases the
refcount, but leave inserted flag unchanged), the error is still
there.
The fix is to remove the error and return instead.
gdb/gdbserver:
2016-04-25 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-low.c (reinsert_raw_breakpoint): If bp->inserted is true
return instead of error.
When GDBserver inserts a breakpoint, it looks for raw breakpoint, if
the raw breakpoint is found, increase its refcount, and return. This
doesn't work when it steps over a breakpoint using software single
step and the underneath instruction of breakpoint is branch to self.
When stepping over a breakpoint on ADDR using software single step,
GDBserver uninsert the breakpoint, so the corresponding raw breakpoint
RAW's 'inserted' flag is zero. Then, GDBserver insert single step
breakpoint at the same address ADDR because the instruction is branch
to self, the same raw brekapoint RAW is found, and increase the
refcount. However, the raw breakpoint is not inserted, and the
program won't stop.

* mem-break.c (set_raw_breakpoint_at): Create a raw breakpoint
object. Insert it if it is not inserted yet. Increase the
refcount and link it into the proc's raw breakpoint list.
GDB doesn't insert software single step breakpoint if the instruction
branches to itself, so that the program can't stop after command "si".

breakpoint.c:should_be_inserted thinks the breakpoint shouldn't be
inserted, which is wrong. This patch restrict the condition that
only skip the non-single-step breakpoints if they are inserted at
the place we are stepping over, however we don't want to skip
single-step breakpoint if its thread is the thread we are stepping
over, so in this patch, I add a thread num in 'struct step_over_info'
to record the thread we're stepping over.

Before this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00709.html
read_value_memory checks parameter 'stack', and call read_stack or
read_memory respectively. However, 'stack' is not checked and
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY is always used in target_xfer_partial, which is
a mistake in the patch above.
This patch checks parameter 'stack', and choose TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY
or TARGET_OBJECT_STACK_MEMORY accordingly.
gdb:
2016-04-22 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* valops.c (read_value_memory): New local variable 'stack'.
Set it to either TARGET_OBJECT_STACK_MEMORY or
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY.
This factors out all the yy-variables remapping to a single file,
instead of each parser having to do the same, with different prefixes.
With this, a parser just needs to define the prefix they want and
include yy-remap.h, which does the dirty job.
Note this renames the c_error, ada_error, etc. functions. Writing the
remapping pattern as:
#define yyerror GDB_YY_REMAP (error)
instead of:
#define yyerror GDB_YY_REMAP (yyerror)
would have avoided the renaming. However, that would be problematic
if we have a macro 'foo' in scope, when we write:
#define yyfoo GDB_YY_REMAP (foo)
as that would expand 'foo'.
The c_yyerror etc. naming end ups indicating that this is a yacc
related function more clearly, so feels like a good change, anyway.

The exceptions-across-readline issue was fixed by the previous commit.
Let's try this again.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/common-exceptions.h (GDB_XCPT_TRY): Remove mention of
the foreign frames issue.
[__cplusplus] (GDB_XCPT): Define as GDB_XCPT_TRY.
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.

Bits 20 ~ 23 of CPSR are reserved (RAZ, read as zero), but they are not
zero if the arm program runs on aarch64-linux. AArch64 tracer gets PSTATE
from arm 32-bit tracee as CPSR, but bits 20 ~ 23 are used in PSTATE. I
think kernel should clear these bits when it is read through ptrace, but
the fix in user space is still needed.

Hi,
I am seeing the fail below on aarch64-linux with gcc 4.9.2,
break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4006e8: file binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/annota1.c, line 14.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/annota1.exp: breakpoint main
the test expects the breakpoint is set on line 15. Let us look at
the main function,
12 int
13 main (void)
14 {
15 int my_array[3] = { 1, 2, 3 }; /* break main */
16
17 value = 7;

the breakpoint is set on the right address after skipping prologue, but
0x00000000004006e8 is mapped to the line 14, as shown below,

3 14 0x00000000004006e8
4 15 0x00000000004006fc
so GDB does nothing wrong. Program hits breakpoint on either line 14
or line 15 is right to me. With anther gcc (4.9.3), the line-table looks
correct, and no test fail. Instead of setting breakpoint on main and
assuming the line is what we get from the source, we can set breakpoint
on that line. On the other hand, the test prints the values of the

I see the following test fail in arm-linux with -marm and -fomit-frame-pointer,
step
callee () at /home/yao/SourceCode/gnu/gdb/git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/step-reverse.c:27

58 callee(); /* STEP INTO THIS CALL */
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.reverse/step-precsave.exp: reverse step into fn call
As we can see, the "step" has already stepped into the function callee,
but in the last line. The second "step" attempts to step to function
body, but it goes out of callee, which isn't expected.
The program is compiled with -marm and -fomit-frame-pointer, the
function callee is prologue-less, because nothing needs to be saved
on stack,
(gdb) disassemble callee
Dump of assembler code for function callee:
0x00010680 <+0>: movw r3, #2364 ; 0x93c

0x000106a0 <+32>: mov r0, r3
0x000106a4 <+36>: bx lr
program stops at the 0x106a0 (passed the epilogue) after the first
"step". When second "step" is executed, the stepping range is
[0x10680-0x106a0], which starts from the first instruction of function
callee (because it doesn't have prologue).
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [LWP 2461] at 0x1069c^M
infrun: prepare_to_wait^M
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =^M
infrun: 2461.2461.0 [LWP 2461],^M
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP^M
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED^M
infrun: stop_pc = 0x10698^M
infrun: stepping inside range [0x10680-0x106a0]
When program goes out of the range, it stops at the caller of callee,
and test fails. IOW, if function callee has prologue, the stepping
range won't start from the first instruction of the function, and
program stops at the prologue and test passes.
IMO, GDB does nothing wrong, but test shouldn't expect the program
stops in callee after the second "step". I decide to fix test rather
than GDB. In this patch, I change to test to do one "step", and check
the program is still in callee, then, do multiple "step" until program
goes out of the callee.
gdb/testsuite:
2016-04-22 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.reverse/step-precsave.exp: Do one step and test program
stops in "callee" and do multiple steps until program goes out
of "callee".
* gdb.reverse/step-reverse.exp: Likewise.
GDBserver doesn't deliver signal when stepping over a breakpoint even
hardware single step is used. When GDBserver started to step over
(thread creation) breakpoint for mutlit-threaded debugging in 2002 [1],
GDBserver behaves this way.
This behavior gets trouble on conditional breakpoints on branch to
self instruction like this,
0x00000000004005b6 <+29>: jmp 0x4005b6 <main+29>
and I set breakpoint
$(gdb) break branch-to-self.c:43 if counter > 3
and the variable counter will be set to 5 in SIGALRM signal handler.
Since GDBserver keeps stepping over breakpoint, the SIGALRM can never
be dequeued and delivered to the inferior, so the program can't stop.
The test can be found in gdb.base/branch-to-self.exp.
GDBserver didn't deliver signal when stepping over a breakpoint because
a tracepoint is collected twice if GDBserver does so in the following
scenario, which can be reproduced by gdb.trace/signal.exp.
- program stops at tracepoint, and tracepoint is collected,
- gdbserver starts a step-over,
- a signal arrives, step-over is canceled, and signal should be passed,
- gdbserver starts a new step-over again, pass the signal as well,
- program stops at the entry of signal handler, step-over finished,
- gdbserver proceeds,
- program returns from the signal handler, again to the tracepoint,
and thus is collected again.
The spurious collection isn't that harmful, IMO, so it should be OK
to let GDBserver deliver signal when stepping over a breakpoint.

This is to test whether GDBserver deliver signal to the inferior while

there won't be spurious collection, however, if GDBserver does deliver
signal, there might be spurious collection.

Set the number of registers for non-XML-described Linux targets to 90,
reverting a change made here with the addition of DSP register support:
commit 1faeff088b
Author: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>
Date: Thu Mar 1 22:19:48 2012 +0000
and fixing a regression introduced for legacy `gdbserver' targets
causing a "Remote 'g' packet reply is too long" error message where the
amount of register data received with a `g' packet (90) exceeds the
maximum number of registers expected (79).
Update the setting for XML-described targets, reflecting the actual
number of registers which have been assigned numbers, matching the:
gdb_assert (gdbarch_num_regs (gdbarch) <= MIPS_RESTART_REGNUM);
requirement in `mips_linux_init_abi'.
gdb/
* mips-tdep.c (mips_gdbarch_init): For GDB_OSABI_LINUX set
`num_regs' to 90 rather than 79. Where a target description is
present adjust the setting appropriately.
We don't currently handle the case of gdb's readline callback throwing
gdb C++ exceptions across a readline that wasn't built with
-fexceptions. The end result is:

FreeBSD versions older than 11.0 use char * as the type of ss_sp in
stack_t instead of the standards-defined void *. C++ allows a char *
pointer to be converted to a void *, so it is safe to cast the return
value of xmalloc to char * if ss_sp is either a char * or void *.
Just always use the cast to char * since that is less ugly than having
to add a special case.

In the previous patch a new set of target descriptions
(i386|amd64)-avx-mpx were added being same as the (i386|amd64)-mpx.
This patch removes AVX feature from (i386|amd64)-mpx target

and (i386|amd64)mpx(_linux|) only MPX.

The current MPX target descriptions assume that MPX is always combined
with AVX, however that's not correct. We can have machines with MPX
and without AVX; or machines with AVX and without MPX.
This patch adds new target descriptions for machines that support
both MPX and AVX, as duplicates of the existing MPX descriptions.
The following commit will remove AVX from the MPX-only descriptions.

The ptrace args/return types detection doesn't work properly in C++
mode, on non-GNU/Linux hosts. For example, on gcc70 (NetBSD 5.1),
where the prototype is:
int ptrace(int, __pid_t, void*, int);
configure misdetects it as:
$ grep PTRACE_TYPE config.h
#define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1 int
#define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3 int *
#define PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4 int
/* #undef PTRACE_TYPE_ARG5 */
#define PTRACE_TYPE_RET int
resulting in:
../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c: In function 'void amd64bsd_fetch_inferior_registers(target_ops*, regcache*, int)':

../../src/gdb/amd64bsd-nat.c:110: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
We could address this [1], however despite ptrace.m4's claim:
# Needs to be tested in C++ mode, to detect whether we need to cast
# the first argument to enum __ptrace_request.
it appears that there's actually no need to test in C++ mode. Always
running the ptrace tests in C mode works just the same on GNU/Linux.
I remember experimenting with several different ways to handle the
original issue back then, and maybe that was needed in some other
attempt and then I didn't realize it ended up not really necessary.
Confirmed that this fixes the NetBSD 5.1 C++ build, and confirmed that
C and C++ builds on Fedora 23 are unaffected.

After compiling a program which uses C++ references some optimizations may
convert the references into synthetic "pointers". Trying to print the address
of one of such synthetic references causes gdb to crash with the following
error:
(gdb) print &ref
/build/buildd/gdb-7.7.1/gdb/dwarf2loc.c:1624: internal-error: Should not be able to create a lazy value with an enclosing type
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Apparently, what was causing it was that value_addr returns a copy of the value
that represents the reference with its type set to T* instead of T&. However,
its enclosing_type is left untouched, which fails a check made in
read_pieced_value. We only see the crash happen for references that are
synthetic because they're treated as pieced values, thus the call to
read_pieced_value.
On a related note, it seems that in general there are all sorts of breakage
when working with synthetic references. This is reported here:

This test exercises the scenarios where we attempt to connect GDB to GDBserver
in standard remote mode, query the symbol file path, attempt to open said
symbol file on GDB's end and fail, causing the connection to drop abruptly.
Regression-tested on x86-64/Ubuntu.
With an unpatched GDB we should see this:

When we attempt to debug a process using GDBserver in standard remote mode
without a symbol file on GDB's end, we may run into an issue where GDB cuts
the connection attempt short due to an error. The error is caused by not
being able to open a symbol file, like so:

This is caused by a couple of function calls within exec_file_locate_attach
that can potentially throw errors.
The following patch guards both exec_file_attach and symbol_file_add_main to
prevent the errors from disrupting the connection process.
There was also a case where native GDB tripped on this problem, but it was
mostly fixed by bf74e428bc.

This patch fixes the current comment in gdb_remote_download, which is
false (the "except if that's already where it is" part). It also
improves it, by explaining why pass TOFILE through standard_output_file,
even it is an absolute path.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_remote_download): Fix and extend comment.
gdbserver-base.exp is used as the base for both native-gdbserver.exp and
native-extended-gdbserver.exp. (Despite its name, it should really be
considered as a "local-gdbserver-base", as it's not really appropriate to
implement a remote gdbserver board.)
Currently, the _download procedure is implemented as a no-op (it returns
the source file path). Because of the SONAME change, The fast
tracepoint tests now require the executable and the IPA
(libinproctrace.so) to be located in the same directory (see [1]). When
using the native-gdbserver board, because _download returns the original
file path, the executable does not end up in the same directory as the
library, and it fails to execute.
In more general terms, with the recent changes, the testsuite now
assumes that when it does
${board}_download <source path 1> <destination path 1>
${board}_download <source path 2> <destination path 2>
where the destination paths are relative (generally just the file name),
both files will end up in the same base directory. That assumption does
not hold for the current implementation in gdbserver-base.exp.
The proper fix would be to make native-gdbserver non-remote, so that
gdb_remote_download would not call DejaGnu's remote_download (see [2]).
We could then get rid of ${board}_download in gdbserver-base.exp.
However, that will likely take some time to complete. In the mean time,
in order to make the fast tracepoint tests pass, we can simply copy the
file to the standard output directory. Basically, it just mimics what
gdb_remote_download would do if the board wasn't flagged as remote.
Note that I missed these failures originally because I had a
libinproctrace.so in /usr/local/lib. So, even though libinproctrace.so
wasn't copied to the test output directory, it did find the one in
/usr/local/lib. It would be nice to find a way to protect against this,
as it could easily happen again...
Regtested with unix, native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver, and
didn't see anything notable, except the ftrace tests now passing for
native-gdbserver.

This patch fixes the following failure:
FAIL: gdb.trace/trace-condition.exp: ftrace: -(21 << 1) == -42: check 10
frames were collected.
This was due to aarch64_emit_sub using the wrong order in its operands, so the
operation would end up being 42 - 0 rather than 0 - 42.
This patch also fixes the order of aarch64_emit_add for clarity.
The test case for emit_sub is fixed so that the proper order of
the operands is needed for the test to pass.
Tested on aarch64-native-extended-gdbserver.
Note: trace-condition.exp was broken a bit so I had to modify it to run
the test. A fix is coming for that in another patch.

support async mode), GDB 7.4 time. Later, GDB 7.8 switched to
target-async on by default, making the regression user-visible by

remote.c is the last user of immediate_quit. It's relied on to
immediately break the initial remote connection sync up, if the user
does Ctrl-C, assuming that was because the target isn't responding.
At that stage, since the connection isn't synced yet, disconnecting is
the only safe thing to do. This commit reworks that, to not rely on
throwing from the SIGINT signal handler.
So, this commit:
- Introduces the concept of a "quit handler". This is used to
override what does the QUIT macro do when the quit flag is set.
- Makes the "struct serial" reachar / write code call QUIT in the
partial read/write loops, so the current quit handler is invoked
whenever a serial->read_prim / serial->write_prim returns EINTR.
- Makes the "struct serial" reachar / write code call
interruptible_select instead of gdb_select, so that QUITs are
detected in a race-free manner.
- Stops remote.c from setting immediate_quit during the initial
connection.
- Instead, we install a custom quit handler whenever we're calling
into the serial code. This custom quit handler knows to immediately
throw a quit when we're in the initial connection setup, and
otherwise defer handling the quit/Ctrl-C request to later, when
we're safely out of a packet command/response sequence. This also
is what is now responsible for handling "double Ctrl-C because
target connection is stuck/wedged."
- remote.c no longer installs a specialized SIGINT handlers, and
instead re-uses the quit flag. Since we want to rely on the QUIT
macro, the SIGINT handler must also set the quit. And the easiest
is just to not install custom SIGINT handler in remote.c. Let the
standard SIGINT handler do its job of setting the quit flag.
Centralizing SIGINT handlers seems like a good thing to me, anyway.

Any time a caller calls query & friends / prompt_for_continue without
ensuring that gdb owns the terminal for input is a bug. So do that in
defaulted_query / prompt_for_continue directly instead.
An example of a case where we currently miss calling
target_terminal_ours is internal_error. Ever since defaulted_query
was made to use gdb_readline_callback, there's no way to answer the
internal error query if the internal error happens while the target is
has the terminal:

A couple wrong things here
- We should not use target_terminal_ours when all we want is output.
We should use target_terminal_ours_for_output instead, which
preserves raw/cooked terminal modes, and SIGINT forwarding.
- Most importantly, relying on stderr output immediately preceding
the error/exception print isn't correct. The exception could be
caught and handled, for example; MI frontends won't display the
stderr part in an error dialog box. Etc.
This commit introduces a type_as_string helper that allows building a
full error string including type info.

- If serial->write_prim returns EINTR, ser_bas_write returns it to the
caller. This just looks wrong to me -- part of the output may have
already been sent, and there's no way for the caller to know that,
and thus no way for a caller to handle a partial write correctly.
- While ser-unix.c:ser_unix_read_prim retries on EINTR,
ser-tcp.c:net_read_prim does not.
This commit moves EINTR handling to the ser_base_write and
ser_base_readchar level, so all serial backends (at least those that
use it) end up handling EINTR consistently.

If the user presses Ctrl-C immediately before target_terminal_inferior
is called and the target is resumed, instead of after, the Ctrl-C ends
up pending in the quit flag until the target next stops.
remote.c has this bit to handle this:
if (!target_is_async_p ())
{
ofunc = signal (SIGINT, sync_remote_interrupt);
/* If the user hit C-c before this packet, or between packets,
pretend that it was hit right here. */
if (check_quit_flag ())
sync_remote_interrupt (SIGINT);
}
But that's only reachable if async is off, while async is on by
default nowadays. It's also obviously not reacheable on native
targets.
This patch generalizes that to all targets.
We can't remove that remote.c bit yet, until we get rid of the sync
SIGINT handler though. That'll be done later in the series.

In non-stop mode, "interrupt" results in a "stop with no signal",
while in all-stop mode, it results in a remote interrupt request /
stop with SIGINT. This is currently implemented in both the Linux and
remote target backends. Move it to the core code instead, making
target_interrupt specifically always about "Interrupting as if with
Ctrl-C", just like it is documented.

This call seems pointless. For instance, a SIGINT handler is only
installed later on. And if wasn't, I can't see why we'd want to lose
a Ctrl-C request.
Getting rid of this allows getting rid of clear_quit_flag.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* main.c (captured_main): Don't clear the quit flag.
I think this is reminiscent of the time when a longjmp would always
jump to the top level. Nowaways code that throw exceptions other than
a quit, which may even be caught and handled without reaching the top
level. Certainly such exceptions shouldn't clear an interrupt
request...
(We also need to get rid of prepare_to_throw_exception in order to be
able to just do "throw ex;" in C++.)
One could argue that we should clear the quit flag when we throw a
quit from the SIGINT handler, when immediate_quit is in effect, to
handle a race, here:
immediate_quit++;
QUIT;
... that's the usual pattern code must use when enabling
immediate_quit. The QUIT is there to catch the case of Ctrl-C having
already been pressed before immediate_quit was enabled. However, this
can happen:
immediate_quit++;
<< Ctrl-C pressed here too.
QUIT;
And in that case, if the quit flag was already set, it'll stay set
even after throwing a quit from the SIGINT handler. The end result is
a double quit. But OTOH, the user did press Ctrl-C two times. Since
I'm getting rid of immediate_quit, I'm not bothering with this.

* exceptions.c (prepare_to_throw_exception): Don't clear the quit

This just looks totally wrong to me, for completetly discarding a
user-requested Ctrl-C. I can't think of why we'd want do this here.
Actually, I digged the history, and found out that this has been here
since at least 7b4ac7e1ed (gdb-2.4, the initial revision, 1988), at
a time were we had a top level setjmp/longjmp, long before that got
wrapped in throw_exception and friends, and this code was in an
explicit loop, with the quit_flag cleared on every iteration, before
executing a command...
