This patch fixes gdb PR symtab/15597.
The bug is that the .gnu_debugaltlink section includes the build-id of
the alt file, but gdb does not use it.
This patch fixes the problem by changing gdb to do what it ought to
always have done: verify the build id of the file found using the
filename in .gnu_debugaltlink; and if that does not match, try to find
the correct debug file using the build-id and debug-file-directory.
This patch touches BFD. Previously, gdb had its own code for parsing
.gnu_debugaltlink; I changed it to use the BFD functions after those
were introduced. However, the BFD functions are incorrect -- they
assume that .gnu_debugaltlink is formatted like .gnu_debuglink.
However, it it is not. Instead, it consists of a file name followed
by the build-id -- no alignment, and the build-id is not a CRC.
Fixing this properly is a bit of a pain. But, because
separate_alt_debug_file_exists just has a FIXME for the build-id case,
I did not fix it properly. Instead I introduced a hack. This leaves
BFD working just as well as it did before my patch.
I'm willing to do something better here but I could use some guidance
as to what. It seems that the build-id code in BFD is largely punted
on.
FWIW gdb is the only user of bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info outside of
BFD itself.
I moved the build-id logic out of elfread.c and into a new file.
This seemed cleanest to me.
Writing a test case was a bit of a pain. I added a couple new
features to the DWARF assembler to handle this.

Upon trying to print the value of a variant record, a user noticed
the following problem:
(gdb) print rt
warning: Unknown upper bound, using 1.
warning: Unknown upper bound, using 1.
$1 = (a => ((a1 => (4), a2 => (4)), (a1 => (8), a2 => (8))))
The expected output is:
(gdb) print rt
$1 = (a => ((a1 => (4, 4), a2 => (8, 8)), (a1 => (4, 4),
a2 => (8, 8))))
The problems comes from the fact that components "a1" and "a2" are
defined as arrays whose upper bound is dynamic. To determine the value
of that upper bound, GDB relies on the GNAT encoding and searches
for the parallel ___U variable. Unfortunately, the search fails
while doing a binary search inside the partial symtab of the unit
where the array and its bound (and therefore the parallel ___U variable)
are defined.
It fails because partial symbols are sorted using strcmp_iw_ordered,
while Ada symbol lookups are performed using a different comparison
function (ada-lang.c:compare_names). The two functions are supposed
to be compatible, but a change performed in April 2011 modified
strcmp_iw_ordered, introducing case-sensitivity issues. As a result,
the two functions would now disagree when passed the following
two arguments:
string1="common__inner_arr___SIZE_A_UNIT"
string2="common__inner_arr__T4s___U"
The difference starts at "_SIZE_A_UNIT" vs "T4s___U". So, it's mostly
a matter of comparing '_' with 'T'.
On the one hand, strcmp_iw_ordered would return -1, while compare_names
returned 11. The change that made all the difference is that
strcmp_iw_ordered now performs a case-insensitive comparison,
and only resorts to case-sentitive comparison if the first comparison
finds an equality. This changes everything, because while 'T' (84)
and 't' (116) are on opposite sides of '_' (95).
This patch aims at restoring the compatibility between the two
functions, by adding case-sensitivity handling in the Ada comparison
function.

This moves the demangled_names_hash from the objfile into the per-BFD
object. This is part of the objfile splitting project.
The demangled names hash is independent of the program space. And, it
is needed by the symbol tables. Both of these things indicate that it
must be pushed into the per-BFD object, which this patch does.

Right now we always share per-BFD data across objfiles, if there is a
BFD. This works fine. However, we're going to start sharing more
data, and sometimes this data will come directly from sections of the
BFD. If such a section has SEC_RELOC set, then the data coming from
that section will not be truly sharable -- the section will be
program-space-dependent, and re-read by gdb for each objfile.
This patch disallows per-BFD sharing in this case. This is a bit
"heavy" in that we could in theory examine each bit of shared data for
suitability. However, that is more complicated, and SEC_RELOC is rare
enough that I think we needn't bother.
Note that the "no sharing" case is equivalent to "gdb works as it
historically did". That is, the sharing is a new(-ish) optimization.

will hold the signal number when the inferior terminates due to the
uncaught signal.
I've made modifications on infrun.c:handle_inferior_event such that
$_exitcode gets cleared when the inferior signalled, and vice-versa.
This assumption was made because the variables are mutually
exclusive, i.e., when the inferior terminates because of an uncaught
signal it is not possible for it to return. I have also made modifications
such that when a corefile is loaded, $_exitsignal gets set to the uncaught
signal that "killed" the inferior, and $_exitcode is cleared.
The patch also adds a NEWS entry, documentation bits, and a testcase. The
documentation entry explains how to use $_exitsignal and $_exitcode in a
GDB script, by making use of the new $_isvoid convenience function.

The ptid_t contructors, accessors and predicates are documented in
_three_ places, and each place uses a different wording.
E.g, the descriptions in the .c file of the new ptid_lwp_p, ptid_tid_p
weren't updated in the final revision like the descriptions in the .h
file were. Clearly, switching to a style that has a single central
description avoids such issues.
Worse, some of the existing descriptions are plain wrong, such as:
/* Attempt to find and return an existing ptid with the given PID, LWP,
and TID components. If none exists, create a new one and return
that. */
ptid_t ptid_build (int pid, long lwp, long tid);
The function does nothing that complicated. It's just a simple
constructor.
So this gets rid of all the unnecessary descriptions, leaving only the
ones near the function declarations in the header file, and
fixes/clarifies those that remain.

This patch moves pending_event to remote_notif_state. All pending
events are destroyed in remote_notif_state_xfree. However,
discard_pending_stop_replies release pending event too, so the pending
event of stop notification is released twice, we need some refactor
here. We add a new function discard_pending_stop_replies_in_queue
which only discard events in stop_reply_queue, and let
remote_notif_state_xfree release pending event for all notif_client.
After this change, discard_pending_stop_replies is only attached to
ifnerior_exit observer, so the INF can't be NULL any more. The
NULL checking is removed too.

Hi,
This FIXME goes into my eyes, when I am about to modify something here,
/* Name is allocated by name_of_child. */
/* FIXME: xstrdup should not be here. */
This FIXME was introduced in the python pretty-pretter patches.
Python pretty-printing [6/6]
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-05/msg00467.html
create_child_with_value is called in two paths,
1. varobj_list_children -> create_child -> create_child_with_value,
2. install_dynamic_child -> install_dynamic_child -> varobj_add_child
-> create_child_with_value
In path #1, 'name' is allocated by name_of_child, as the original
comment said, we don't have to duplicate NAME in
create_child_with_value. In path #2, 'name' is got from
PyArg_ParseTuple, and we have to duplicate NAME.
This patch removes the call to xstrdup in create_child_with_value
and call xstrudp in update_dynamic_varobj_children (path #2).

If enabling PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK fails, we never test for
PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD support. Before PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD is checked,
we have:
/* First, set the PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK option. If this fails, we
know for sure that it is not supported. */
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, child_pid, (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3) 0,
(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4) PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK);
if (ret != 0)
{
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_KILL, child_pid, (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3) 0,
(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4) 0);
if (ret != 0)
{
warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: failed to kill child"));
return;
}
ret = my_waitpid (child_pid, &status, 0);
if (ret != child_pid)
warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: failed "
"to wait for killed child"));
else if (!WIFSIGNALED (status))
warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: unexpected "
"wait status 0x%x from killed child"), status);
return; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
}
Note that early return. If PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK isn't supported, we're
not checking PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD. This didn't use to be a problem
before the unification of this whole detection business in
linux-ptrace.c. Before, the sysgood detection was completely
separate:
static void
linux_test_for_tracesysgood (int original_pid)
{
int ret;
sigset_t prev_mask;
/* We don't want those ptrace calls to be interrupted. */
block_child_signals (&prev_mask);
linux_supports_tracesysgood_flag = 0;
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, original_pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD);
if (ret != 0)
goto out;
linux_supports_tracesysgood_flag = 1;
out:
restore_child_signals_mask (&prev_mask);
}
So we need to get back the decoupling somehow. I think it's cleaner
to split the seperate feature detections to separate functions. This
patch does that. The new functions are named for their counterparts
that existed before this code was moved to linux-ptrace.c.
Note I've used forward declarations for the new functions to make the
patch clearer, as otherwise the patch would look like I'd be adding a
bunch of new code. A reorder can be done in a follow up patch.
