When intializing Python the path to the python binary is build the
following way
progname = concat (ldirname (python_libdir), SLASH_STRING, "bin",
SLASH_STRING, "python", (char *) NULL);
This is problematic as both concat and ldirname allocate memory for the
string they return. Thus the memory allocated by ldirname cannot be
accessed afterwards causing a memory leak. Fix it by temporarily storing
libdir in a variable and xfree it after concat.
gdb/ChangeLog:
python/python.c (do_start_initialization): Fix memory leak.
The linux_nat_xfer_partial does a conversion of inferior_ptid: if it's
an LWP (ptid::lwp != 0), it builds a new ptid with the lwp as
the pid and assigns that temporarily to inferior_ptid. For example, if
inferior_ptid is:
{ .pid = 1234, .lwp = 1235 }
it will assign this to inferior_ptid for the duration of the call:
{ .pid = 1235, .lwp = 0 }
Instead of doing this, this patch teaches the inf-ptrace implementation
of xfer_partial to deal with ptids representing lwps by using
get_ptrace_pid.
Also, in linux_proc_xfer_spu and linux_proc_xfer_partial, we use ptid_get_lwp
instead of ptid_get_pid. While not strictly necessary, since the content of
/proc/<pid> and /proc/<lwp> should be the same, it's a bit safer, because:
- some files under /proc/<pid>/ may not work if the <pid> thread is
running, just like ptrace requires a stopped thread. The current
thread's lwp id is more likely to be in the necessary state (stopped).
- if the leader (<pid>) had exited and is thus now zombie, then several
files under "/proc/<pid>" won't work, while they will if you use
"/proc/<lwp>".
The testsuite found no regression on native amd64 linux.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_xfer_partial): Get pid from ptid
using get_ptrace_pid.
* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_xfer_partial): Don't set/restore

Both aarch64-tdep.c and arm-tdep.c defines a class instruction_reader, which
violates ODR, but linker doesn't an emit error. I fix this issue by wrapping
them by anonymous namespace, but I think it is better to apply this for all
locally used classes.
If it is a good idea to put locally used class into anonymous namespace, we
should document this rule into GDB coding convention, or even GCC coding
convention. Note that anonymous namespace has been used in GCC but GCC
coding convention doesn't mention the it.

This patch adds tests for the initial rvalue reference support patchset. All
of the new tests are practically mirrored regular references tests and, except
for the demangler ones, are introduced in new files, which are set to be
compiled with -std=gnu++11. Tested are printing of rvalue reference types and
values, rvalue reference parameters in function overloading, demangling of
function names containing rvalue reference parameters, casts to rvalue
reference types, application of the sizeof operator to rvalue reference types
and values, and support for rvalue references within the gdb python module.

This patch introduces changes to rank_one_type() dealing with ranking an rvalue
reference type when selecting a best viable function from a set of candidate
functions. The 4 new added rules for rvalue references are:
1) An rvalue argument cannot be bound to a non-const lvalue reference parameter
and an lvalue argument cannot be bound to an rvalue reference parameter.
[C++11 13.3.3.1.4p3]
2) If a conversion to one type of reference is an identity conversion, and a
conversion to the second type of reference is a non-identity conversion, choose
the first type. [C++11 13.3.3.2p3]
3) An rvalue should be first tried to bind to an rvalue reference, and then to
an lvalue reference. [C++11 13.3.3.2p3]
4) An lvalue reference to a function gets higher priority than an rvalue
reference to a function. [C++11 13.3.3.2p3]
This patch is not exactly correct. See c++/15372 for tracking overload
resolution bugs.

On s390x targets GDB can not handle displaced stepping correctly for some
relative branch instructions, such as cij (compare immediate and branch
relative). When setting a breakpoint on such an instruction and
single-stepping over it, the branch is never taken. This is because the
check in s390_displaced_step_fixup for relative branch instructions is
incomplete.
Instead of completing the list of relative branch instructions to check
against, this patch just treats relative branches and non-branching
instructions in the same way and adjusts the PC with the negated
displacement in both cases.

This is one of the rare to_fetch/store_registers implementations that will

parameter.

As Gareth McMullin <gareth@blacksphere.co.nz> reports at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00560.html>, the
timeout mechanism in ser-unix.c was broken by commit 048094acc
("target remote: Don't rely on immediate_quit (introduce quit
handlers)").
Instead of applying a local fix, and since we now finally always use
interrupt_select [1], let's get rid of hardwire_readchar entirely, and
use ser_base_readchar instead, which has similar timeout handling,
except for the bug.
Smoke tested with:
$ socat -d -d pty,raw,echo=0 pty,raw,echo=0
2017/03/14 14:08:13 socat[4994] N PTY is /dev/pts/14

$ gdbserver /dev/pts/14 PROG

Recently I fixed a bug that caused a DW_OP_implicit_pointer with non-zero
offset into a DW_OP_implicit_value to be handled incorrectly on big-endian
targets. GDB ignored the offset and copied the wrong bytes:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-01/msg00251.html
But there is still a similar issue when a DW_OP_implicit_pointer points
into a DW_OP_stack_value instead; and again, the offset is ignored. There
is an important difference, though: While implicit values are treated like
blocks of data and anchored at the lowest-addressed byte, stack values
traditionally contain integer numbers and are anchored at the *least
significant* byte. Also, stack values do not come in varying sizes, but
are cut down appropriately when used. Thus, on big-endian targets the
scenario looks like this (higher addresses shown right):
|<- - - - - Stack value - - - - - - ->|
| |
|<- original object ->|
|
| offset ->|####|
^^^^
de-referenced
implicit pointer
(Note how the original object's size influences the position of the
de-referenced implicit pointer within the stack value. This is not the
case for little-endian targets, where the original object starts at offset
zero within the stack value.)
This patch implements the logic indicated in the above diagram and adds an
appropriate test case. A new function dwarf2_fetch_die_type_sect_off is
added; it is used for retrieving the original object's type, so its size
can be determined. That type is passed to dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full

When inf_ptrace_xfer_partial performs a memory transfer via ptrace with
PT_READ_I, PT_WRITE_I (aka PTRACE_PEEKTEXT, PTRACE_POKETEXT), etc., then

performance, particularly if the caller has significant preparation work
for each invocation. And indeed it has for writing, in
memory_xfer_partial in target.c, where all of the remaining data to be
transferred is copied to a temporary buffer each time, for breakpoint
shadow handling. Thus large writes have quadratic runtime and can take
hours.
Note: On GNU/Linux targets GDB usually does not use
inf_ptrace_xfer_partial for large memory transfers, but attempts a single
read/write from/to /proc/<pid>/mem instead. However, the kernel may
reject writes to /proc/<pid>/mem (such as kernels prior to 2.6.39), or
/proc may not be mounted. In both cases GDB falls back to the ptrace
mechanism.
This patch fixes the performance issue by attempting to fulfill the whole
transfer request in inf_ptrace_xfer_partial, using a loop around the
ptrace call.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/21220
* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_xfer_partial): In "case
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY", extract the logic for ptrace peek/poke...
(inf_ptrace_peek_poke): ...here. New function. Now also loop
over ptrace peek/poke until end of buffer or error.
It isn't used anywhere else than the file it's defined in.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* parse.c (length_of_subexp): Make static.
* parser-defs.h (length_of_subexp): Remove.
So far linux_proc_xfer_partial refused to handle write requests. This is
still based on the assumption that the Linux kernel does not support
writes to /proc/<pid>/mem. That used to be true, but has changed with
Linux 2.6.39 released in May 2011.
This patch lifts this restriction and now exploits /proc/<pid>/mem for
writing to inferior memory as well, if possible.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linux-nat.c (linux_proc_xfer_partial): Handle write operations
as well.
