Typing "enable count" by itself crashes GDB. Also, if you omit the
breakpoint number/range, the error message is not very clear:
(gdb) enable count 2
warning: bad breakpoint number at or near ''
(gdb) enable count
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
With this patch, the error messages are slightly more helpful:
(gdb) enable count 2
Argument required (one or more breakpoint numbers).
(gdb) enable count
Argument required (hit count).

The buildbot shows that this test is still racy, and occasionally
fails with time outs on some machines. I'd like to get major issues
with load out of the way.
The test currently exits after 180s, which is just a random number,
that has no relation to what the .exp file considers a time out. This
commit makes the program wait a bit longer than what the .exp file
considers a time out, and, resets the timer for each iteration.

Thinking that this might be a problem of SIGTERM reaching GDB, but
then the event loop taking too long to handle it, I hacked GDB to
print a debug log whenever the SIGTERM handler was called, and,
whenever the event loop finally calls the async SIGTERM handler.
Here's what I see:
infrun: 30011 [Thread 30011],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x4005de

Cannot execute this command while the target is running.
Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target
and then try again.
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: expect eof #27
FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: SIGTERM stepped 228 times
So, no delay on the GDB side. It just happens that occasionally it
takes more than 200 single-steps before SIGTERM even reaches GDB.
This just looks like a kernel/scheduling issue --- some extra usage
spike in the system (e.g., an I/O spike) might cause it for me. For
the build slaves, I'm guessing they're frequently busy enough to trip
on this often. Particularly more so now that we're having them run
tests in parallel mode.
The fix is to detect failure by timeout instead of counting single
steps. This should be more reliable. Indeed for me, after this
commit, I couldn't trigger a FAIL anymore, even after letting the test
run for an hour.
By timeout is also nicer in that a board file for a slow host/target
can increase it (like, e.g., an embedded GNU/Linux board).

This commit modifies the test program gdb.base/info-os.c so that
it cleans up all allocated System V IPC objects when a fatal
error occurs. Without this, it was possible for the program
to leave IPC objects on the system, and such objects persist
until they are manually deleted or the system reboots.
I looked at changing the SysV IPC key for allocating the IPC objects to
IPC_PRIVATE. That would prevent errors due to namespace conflicts with the
key. However, the test needs to read the actual key number from the 'info
os' command output, and IPC_PRIVATE won't work for that.

Py_hash_t is int for 32-bit hosts and long for 64-bit hosts. While on 32-bit
hosts sizeof(long)==sizeof(int) still the hashfunc type is formally
incompatible. As this patch should have no compiled code change it is not

Since the starvation avoidance series
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-12/msg00631.html), both
GDB and GDBserver pull all events out of ptrace before deciding which
event to process.
There's one problem with that though. Because we resume new threads
immediately when we see a PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event, if the program
constantly spawns threads fast enough, new threads can spawn threads
faster we can pull events out of the kernel, and thus we'd get stuck
in an infinite loop, never returning any event to the core to process.
I occasionally see this happen with the
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test against gdbserver.
The fix is to delay resuming new threads until we've pulled out all
events out of the kernel.
On native, we already have the resume_stopped_resumed_lwps function
that knows to resume LWPs that are stopped with no event to report to
the core. So the patch just adds another use. GDBserver didn't have
the equivalent yet, so the patch adds one.

Running the testsuite with the native-extended-gdbserver.exp board and
passing a variant spec, like
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver/-m32"
results in dejagnu trying to open a rsh connection to

this board is running things locally.

When reading a core file register section which is larger than
expected, emit a warning. Assume that a register section usually has
exactly the size specified by the regset section iterator. In some
special cases this assumption is wrong, or at least does not match the
regset supply function's logic. Thus also add a way to suppress the
warning in those cases, using a new flag REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* regset.h (struct regset): Add flags field.
(REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE): New value for a regset's flags field.
* corelow.c (get_core_register_section): Add warning if the size

When reading the XSAVE extended state from an i386 or AMD64 core file,
the respective regset iterator requests a minimum section size of
zero. Since the respective regset supply function does not check the
size either, this may lead to accessing data out of range if the
section is too short.
In write mode, the iterator always uses the maximum supported size for
the XSAVE extended state.
This is now changed such that the iterator always requests the
expected size of this section based on xcr0, both for reading and
writing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* amd64-linux-tdep.c (amd64_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections):
For ".reg-xstate", explicitly specify the requested section size
via X86_XSTATE_SIZE instead of just 0 on input and
X86_XSTATE_MAX_SIZE on output.
* i386-linux-tdep.c (i386_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections):
Likewise.
As reported in PR 17808, a test case with a forged (invalid) core file
can crash GDB with an assertion failure. In that particular case the
prstatus of an i386 core file looks like that from an AMD64 core file.
Consequently the respective regset supply function i386_supply_gregset
is invoked with a larger buffer than usual. But i386_supply_gregset
asserts a specific buffer size, and this assertion fails.
The patch relaxes all buffer size assertions in regset supply
functions such that they merely check for a sufficiently large buffer.
For consistency the regset collect functions are adjusted as well.

Even with the previous patch installed, we'll still see
sigall-reverse.exp occasionally fail. The problem is that the event
loop's event handling processing is done in two steps:
#1 - poll all event sources, and push new event objects to the event
queue, until all event sources are drained.
#2 - go through the event queue, processing each event object at a
time. For each event, call the associated callback, and deletes the
event object from the queue.
and then bad things happen if between #1 and #2 something decides that
events from an event source that has already queued events shouldn't
be processed yet. To do that, we either remove the event source from
the list of event sources, or clear its "have events" flag. However,
if an event for that source has meanwhile already been pushed in the
event queue, #2 will still process it and call the associated
callback...
One way to fix it that I considered was to do something to the event
objects already in the event queue when an event source is no longer
interesting. But then I couldn't find any good reason for the
two-step process in the first place. It's much simpler (and less
code) to call the event source callbacks as we poll the sources and
find events.

This is another event-loop/async related problem exposed by the patch
that made 'query' use gdb_readline_wrapper (588dcc3edb).
The problem is that even though gdb_readline_wrapper disables
target-async while the secondary prompt is in progress, the record
target's async event source is left marked. So when
gdb_readline_wrapper nests an event loop to process input, it may
happen that that event loop ends up processing a target event while
GDB is not really ready for it. Here's the relevant part of the
backtrace showing the root issue in action:

The Ada symbol cache has been designed to have one instance of that

on-demand. ada_get_symbol_cache is the function responsible for both
lookup and creation on demand.
Unfortunately, ada_get_symbol_cache forgot to store the reference

- Leak old caches;
- Allocate a new cache each time the cache is being searched or
a new entry is to be inserted.

* gdb.base/maint.exp <maint print type argc>: Update expected output.
This patch moves TYPE_SELF_TYPE into new field type_specific.self_type
for MEMBERPTR,METHODPTR types, and into type_specific.func_stuff
for METHODs, and then updates everything to use that.
TYPE_CODE_METHOD could share some things with TYPE_CODE_FUNC
(e.g. TYPE_NO_RETURN) and it seemed simplest to keep them together.
Moving TYPE_SELF_TYPE into type_specific.func_stuff for TYPE_CODE_METHOD
is also nice because when we allocate space for function types we assume
they're TYPE_CODE_FUNCs. If TYPE_CODE_METHODs don't need or use that
space then that space would be wasted, and cleaning that up would involve
more invasive changes.
In order to catch errant uses I've added accessor functions
that do some checking.
One can no longer assign to TYPE_SELF_TYPE like this:
TYPE_SELF_TYPE (foo) = bar;
One instead has to do:
set_type_self_type (foo, bar);
But I've left reading of the type to the macro:
bar = TYPE_SELF_TYPE (foo);
In order to discourage bypassing the TYPE_SELF_TYPE macro
I've named the underlying function that implements it
internal_type_self_type.
While testing this I found the stabs reader leaving methods
as TYPE_CODE_FUNCs, hitting my newly added asserts.
Since the dwarf reader smashes functions to methods (via
smash_to_method) I've done a similar thing for stabs.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful. A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour. A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.

To make it clear that some functions should not modify the variable
object, this patch adds the const qualifier where it makes sense to some
struct varobj * parameters. Most getters should take a const pointer to
guarantee they don't modify the object.
Unfortunately, I couldn't add it to some callbacks (such as name_of_child).
In the C implementation, they call c_describe_child, which calls
varobj_get_path_expr. varobj_get_path_expr needs to modify the object in
order to cache the computed value. It therefore can't take a const
pointer, and it affects the whole call chain. I suppose that's where you
would use a "mutable" in C++.
I did that to make sure there was no other cases like the one fixed in
the previous patch. I don't think it can hurt.

It seems like different languages are doing this differently (e.g.
C and Ada). For C, var->path_expr is set inside c_path_expr_of_child.
The next time the value is requested, is it therefore not recomputed.
Ada does not set this field, but just returns the value. Since the field
is never set, the value is recomputed every time it is requested.
This patch makes it so that path_expr_of_child's only job is to compute
the path expression, not save/cache the value. The field is set by the
varobj common code.

Consider the following declarations:
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
type Record_Type (N : Integer) is record
A : Array_Type (1 .. N);
end record;
R : Record_Type := Get (10);
It defines what Ada programers call a "discriminated record", where
"N" is a component of that record called a "discriminant", and where
"A" is a component defined as an array type whose upper bound is
equal to the value of the discriminant.
So far, we rely on a number of fairly complex GNAT-specific encodings
to handle this situation. This patch is to enhance GDB to be able to
print this record in the case where the compiler has been modified
to replace those encodings by pure DWARF constructs.
In particular, the debugging information generated for the record above
looks like the following. "R" is a record..
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x13e) DW_TAG_structure_type)

This patch enhanced GDB to understand references to other DIEs
where the DIE's address is at an offset of its enclosing type.
The difficulty was that the address used to resolve the array's
type (R's address + 4 bytes) is different from the address used
as the base to compute N's address (an offset to R's address).
We're solving this issue by using a stack of addresses rather
than a single address when trying to resolve a type. Each address
in the stack corresponds to each containing level. For instance,
if resolving the field of a struct, the stack should contain
the address of the field at the top, and then the address of
the struct. That way, if the field makes a reference to an object
of the struct, we can retrieve the address of that struct, and
properly resolve the dynamic property references that struct.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/disc_arr_bound: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
This is preparation work to avoid a regression in the Ada/varobj.
An upcoming patch is going to add support for types in DWARF
which have dynamic properties whose value is a reference to another
DIE.
Consider for instance the following declaration:
type Variant_Type (N : Int := 0) is record
F : String(1 .. N) := (others => 'x');
end record;
type Variant_Type_Access is access all Variant_Type;
VTA : Variant_Type_Access := null;
This declares a variable "VTA" which is an access (=pointer)
to a variant record Variant_Type. This record contains two
components, the first being "N" (the discriminant), and the
second being "F", an array whose lower bound is 1, and whose
upper bound depends on the value of "N" (the discriminant).
Of interest to us, here, is that second component ("F"), and
in particular its bounds. The debugging info, and in particular
the info for the array looks like the following...
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0x91) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF16 # DW_AT_name: "bar__variant_type__T2b"
.long 0xac # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type
.long 0x2cb # DW_AT_type
.long 0xac # DW_AT_sibling
.uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xa2) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0xc4 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x87 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x91
... where the upper bound of the array's subrange type is a reference
to "n"'s DIE (0x87):
.uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x87) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "n\0" # DW_AT_name
[...]
Once the patch to handle this dynamic property gets applied,
this is what happens when creating a varobj for variable "VTA"
(whose value is null), and then trying to list its children:
(gdb)
-var-create vta * vta
^done,name="vta",numchild="2",value="0x0",
type="bar.variant_type_access",has_more="0"
(gdb)
-var-list-children 1 vta
^done,numchild="2",
children=[child={name="vta.n",[...]},
child={name="vta.f",exp="f",
numchild="43877616", <<<<-----
value="[43877616]", <<<<-----
type="array (1 .. n) of character"}],
has_more="0"
It has an odd number of children.
In this case, we cannot really determine the number of children,
since that number depends on the value of a field in a record
for which we do not have a value. Up to now, the value we've been
displaying is zero - meaning we have an empty array.
What happens in this case, is that, because the VTA is a null pointer,
we're not able to resolve the pointer's target type, and therefore
end up asking ada_varobj_get_array_number_of_children to return
the number of elements in that array; for that, it relies blindly
on get_array_bounds, which assumes the type is no longer dynamic,
and therefore the reads the bound without seeing that it's value
is actually a reference rather than a resolved constant.
This patch prevents the issue by explicitly handling the case of
dynamic arrays, and returning zero child in that case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-varobj.c (ada_varobj_get_array_number_of_children):
Return zero if PARENT_VALUE is NULL and parent_type's
range type is dynamic.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_var_array: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Consider the following code:
type Record_Type (N : Integer) is record
A : Array_Type (1 .. N);
end record;
[...]
R : Record_Type := Get (10);
Trying to print the bounds of the array R.A yielded:
(gdb) p r.a'last
$4 = cannot find reference address for offset property
A slightly different example, but from the same cause:
(gdb) ptype r
type = <ref> record
n: integer;
a: array (cannot find reference address for offset property
Looking at the debugging info, "A" is described as...
.uleb128 0x11 # (DIE (0x181) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "a\0" # DW_AT_name
.long 0x15d # DW_AT_type
[...]
... which is an array...
.uleb128 0x12 # (DIE (0x15d) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF18 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type__T4b"
.long 0x194 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x174 # DW_AT_sibling
... whose bounds are described as:
.uleb128 0x13 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x174 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x15d
We can see above that the range has an implict lower value of
1, and an upper value which is a reference 0x153="n". All Good.
But looking at the array's subrange subtype, we see...
.uleb128 0x14 # (DIE (0x174) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.long .LASF19 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type__T3b"
.long 0x18d # DW_AT_type
... another subrange type whose bounds are exactly described
the same way. So we have a subrange of a subrange, both with
one bound that's dynamic.
What happens in the case above is that GDB's resolution of "R.A"
yields a array whose index type has static bounds. However, the
subtype of the array's index type was left untouched, so, when
taking the subtype of the array's subrange type, we were left
with the unresolved subrange type, triggering the error above.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (is_dynamic_type_internal) <TYPE_CODE_RANGE>: Return
nonzero if the type's subtype is dynamic.
(resolve_dynamic_range): Also resolve the range's subtype.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.

Since Fedora started to use DWZ DWARF compressor:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DwarfCompressor
GDB has slowed down a lot. To make it clear - DWZ is DWARF structure
rearrangement, "compressor" does not mean any zlib style data compression.
This patch reduces LibreOffice backtrace from 5 minutes to 3 seconds (100x)
and it also reduces memory consumption 20x.
[ benchmark is at the bottom of this mail ]

<62da21> DW_AT_import : <0xcf> [Abbrev Number: 17]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One can see all DW_TAG_partial_unit have DW_AT_stmt_list 0x0 which causes
repeated decoding of that .debug_line unit on each DW_TAG_imported_unit.
This was OK before as each DW_TAG_compile_unit has its own .debug_line unit.
But since the introduction of DW_TAG_partial_unit by DWZ one should cache
read-in DW_AT_stmt_list .debug_line units.
Fortunately one does not need to cache whole
struct linetable *symtab->linetable
and other data from .debug_line mapping PC<->lines
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line Number Statements:
Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x45c880
Advance Line by 25 to 26
Copy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as the only part of .debug_line which GDB needs for DW_TAG_partial_unit is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Directory Table:
../../gdb
/usr/include/bits
[...]
The File Name Table:
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 1 0 0 gdb.c
2 2 0 0 string3.h
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specifically referenced in GDB for DW_AT_decl_file at a single place:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fe = &cu->line_header->file_names[file_index - 1];
SYMBOL_SYMTAB (sym) = fe->symtab;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is because for some reason DW_TAG_partial_unit never contains PC-related
DWARF information. I do not know exactly why, the compression ratio is a bit
lower due to it but thanksfully currently it is that way:
dwz.c:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* These attributes reference code, prevent moving
DIEs with them. */
case DW_AT_low_pc:
case DW_AT_high_pc:
case DW_AT_entry_pc:
case DW_AT_ranges:
die->die_ck_state = CK_BAD;
+
/* State of checksum computation. Not computed yet, computed and
suitable for moving into partial units, currently being computed
and finally determined unsuitable for moving into partial units. */
enum { CK_UNKNOWN, CK_KNOWN, CK_BEING_COMPUTED, CK_BAD } die_ck_state : 2;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also verified also real-world Fedora debuginfo files really comply with
that assumption with dwgrep
https://github.com/pmachata/dwgrep
using:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dwgrep -e 'entry ?DW_TAG_partial_unit child* ( ?DW_AT_low_pc , ?DW_AT_high_pc , ?DW_AT_ranges )' /usr/lib/debug/**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW I think GDB already does not support the whole DW_TAG_imported_unit and
DW_TAG_partial_unit usage possibilities as specified by the DWARF standard.
I think GDB would not work if DW_TAG_imported_unit was used in some inner
level and not at the CU level (readelf -wi level <1>) - this is how DWZ is
using DW_TAG_imported_unit. Therefore I do not think further assumptions
about DW_TAG_imported_unit and DW_TAG_partial_unit usage by DWZ are a problem
for GDB.
One could save the whole .debug_line decoded PC<->lines mapping (and not just
the DW_AT_decl_file table) but:
* there are some problematic corner cases so one could do it incorrectly
* there are no real world data to really test such patch extension
* such extension could be done perfectly incrementally on top of this patch

* dwarf2read.c (struct dwarf2_per_objfile): Add line_header_hash.
(struct line_header): Add offset and offset_in_dwz.
(dwarf_decode_lines): Add parameter decode_mapping to the declaration.

(dwarf_decode_lines): New parameter decode_mapping, use it.
(dwarf2_free_objfile): Free line_header_hash.
In the situation described in bug 17416 [1]:
* "set print object" is on;
* The variable object is a pointer to a struct, and it contains an
invalid value (e.g. NULL, or random uninitialized value);
* The variable object (struct) has a child which is also a pointer to a
struct;
* We try to use "-var-list-children".
... an exception thrown in value_ind can propagate too far and leave an
half-built variable object, leading to a wrong state. This patch adds a
TRY_CATCH to catch it and makes value_rtti_indirect_type return NULL in
that case, meaning that the type of the pointed object could not be
found.
A test for the fix is also added.
New in v2:
* Added test.
* Restructured "catch" code.
* Added details about the bug in commit log.

linux_nat_is_async_p currently always returns true, even when the
target is _not_ async. That confuses
gdb_readline_wrapper/gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup, which
force-disables target-async while the secondary prompt is active. As
a result, when gdb_readline_wrapper returns, the target is left async,
even through it was sync to begin with.
That can result in weird bugs, like the one the test added by this
commit exposes.

gdb_interact is a small utility that we have found quite useful to debug
test cases.
Putting gdb_interact in a test suspends it and allows to interact with
gdb to inspect whatever you want. You can then type ">>>" to resume the
test execution. Of course, this is only for gdb devs. It wouldn't make
sense to leave a gdb_interact permanently in a test case.
When starting the interaction with the user, the script prints this
banner:
+------------------------------------------+
| Script interrupted, you can now interact |
| with by gdb. Type >>> to continue. |
+------------------------------------------+
Notes:
* When gdb is launched, the gdb_spawn_id variable (lib/gdb.exp) is
assigned -1. Given the name, I would expect it to contain the gdb
expect spawn id, which is needed for interact. I changed all places
that set gdb_spawn_id to -1 to set it to the actual gdb spawn id
instead.
* When entering the "interact" mode, the last (gdb) prompt is already
eaten by expect, so it doesn't show up on the terminal. Subsequent
prompts do appear though. We tried to print "(gdb)" just before the
interact to replace it. However, it could be misleading if you are
debugging an MI test case, it makes you think that you are typing in a
CLI prompt, when in reality it's MI. In the end I decided that since
the feature is for developers who know what they're doing and that one
is normally consciously using gdb_interact, the script doesn't need
to babysit the user.
* There are probably some quirks depending on where in the script
gdb_interact appears (e.g. it could interfere with following
commands and make them fail), but it works for most cases. Quirks can
always be fixed later.
The idea and original implementation was contributed by Anders
Granlund, a colleague of mine. Thanks to him.

I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number. Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage. Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

When GDB is configured with "--without-tui --with-curses" or "--with-tui",
$prefer_curses is set to yes. But, that still doesn't mean that curses
will be used. configure will still search for the curses library, and
continue building without it. That's done here:
curses_found=no
if test x"$prefer_curses" = xyes; then
...
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(waddstr, [ncurses cursesX curses])
if test "$ac_cv_search_waddstr" != no; then
curses_found=yes
fi
fi
So if waddstr is not found, meaning curses is not really
available, even though it'd be preferred, $prefer_curses is
'yes', but $curses_found is 'no'.
So the right fix to tell whether we're linking with curses is
$curses_found=yes.

This commit fixes the regression on RHEL-5 systems introduced by
nat/linux-personality.c's check of HAVE_DECL_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
RHEL-5 systems define HAVE_DECL_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE as zero, so we

This patch moves the shared code present on
gdb/linux-nat.c:linux_nat_create_inferior and
gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_create_inferior to
nat/linux-personality.c. This code is responsible for disabling
address space randomization based on user setting, and using
<sys/personality.h> to do that. I decided to put the prototype of the
maybe_disable_address_space_randomization on nat/linux-osdata.h
because it seemed the best place to put it.
I regression-tested this patch on Fedora 20 x86_64, and found no
regressions.

This patch updates two attach tests to use utility procs for checking if
the attach test should run and for launching the program to be attached, as
follows:
1) Use can_spawn_for_attach instead of is_remote target
2) Use spawn_wait_for_attach instead of exec/sleep
Tested (1) with i686-mingw32 host and i686-pc-linux-gnu build/target and
both with x86_64 Ubuntu.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp: Use can_spawn_for_attach

Consider the following code:
type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
type Object (N : Integer) is record
Data : Table (1 .. N);
end record;
My_Object : Object := (N => 3, Data => (3, 5, 8));
Trying to print the range and length of the My_Object.Data array yields:
(gdb) print my_object.data'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 0
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 0
The first one is correct, and that is thanks to the fact that
the lower bound is statically known. However, for the upper
bound, and consequently the array's length, the values are incorrect.
It should be:
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 3
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 3
What happens here is that ada_array_bound_from_type sees that
our array has a parallel "___XA" type, and therefore tries to
use it. In particular, it described our array's index type as:
[...]___XDLU_1__n, which means lower bound = 1, and upper bound
is value of "n". Unfortunately, ada_array_bound_from_type does
not have access to the discriminant, and is therefore unable to
compute the bound correctly.
Fortunately, at this stage, the bound has already been computed
a while ago, and therefore doesn't need to be re-computed here.
This patch fixes the issue by ignoring that ___XA type if the array
is marked as already fixed.
This also fixes the same issue with packed arrays.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Ignore array's parallel
___XA type if the array has already been fixed.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/var_arr_attrs: New testcase.
This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly. We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor. Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E. This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E. In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP (by
getauxval on glibc >= 2.16. If getauxval doesn't exist, we implement
the fallback by parsing /proc/self/auxv), because it should an invariant
on the same machine cross different processes.
In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.

Executing a gdb script that runs the inferior (from the command line
with -x), and has it hit breakpoints with breakpoint commands that
themselves run the target, is currently broken on async targets
(Linux, remote).
While we're executing a command list or a script, we force the
interpreter to be sync, which results in some functions nesting an
event loop and waiting for the target to stop, instead of returning
immediately and having the top level event loop handle the stop.
The issue with this bug is simply that bpstat_do_actions misses
checking whether the interpreter is sync. When we get here, in the
case of executing a script (or, when the interpreter is sync), the
program has already advanced to the next breakpoint, through
maybe_wait_sync_command_done. We need to process its breakpoints
immediately, just like with a sync target.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Commit d3d4baed (PR python/17372 - Python hangs when displaying
help()) had the side effect of causing 'gdb -batch' to leave the
terminal in the wrong state if the program was run. E.g,.
$ echo 'main(){*(int*)0=0;}' | gcc -x c -; ./gdb/gdb -batch -ex r ./a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004004ff in main ()
$
If you start typing the next command, seemingly nothing happens - GDB
left the terminal with echo disabled.
The issue is that that "r" ends up in fetch_inferior_event, which
calls reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup, which causes
readline to prep the terminal (raw, echo disabled). But "-batch"
causes GDB to exit before the top level event loop is first started,
and then nothing de-preps the terminal.
The reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup function's intro
comment mentions:
"Need to do this as we go back to the event loop, ready to process
further input."
but the implementation forgets the case of when the interpreter is
sync, which indicates we won't return to the event loop yet, or as in
the case of -batch, we have not started it yet.
The fix is to not install the readline callback in that case.
For the test, in this case, checking that command echo still works is
sufficient. Comparing stty output before/after running GDB is even
better. Because stty may not be available, the test tries both ways.
In any case, since expect's spawn (what we use to start gdb) creates a
new pseudo tty, another expect spawn or tcl exec after GDB exits would
not see the wrong terminal settings. So instead, the test spawns a
shell and runs stty and GDB in it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

A sanity-check in my release scripts caught something: After having
created the tarballs, I verify that no checked-in file disappeared
in the process, and lo and behod, it found that the following file
got wiped:
- gdb/testsuite/dg-extract-results.py:
And it's not part of the tarball either.
I don't understand while we delete all *.py files in gdb/testsuite,
since I don't see a rule that expected to create one. A run of the
testsuite also doesn't seem to be creating .py files there.
I traced this to the following commit, which unfortunately provided
no explanation. Perhaps we used to run some tests in the gdb/testsuite
directory and caused files to be left behind there. Perhaps we still
do today?
In the meantime, Executive Decision: In order to allow me to create
tarballs without losing files, I removed it. It's easy to put something
back if we find out why it might still be needed.

This patch makes readline append new history lines to the GDB history
file on exit instead of overwriting the entire history file on exit.
This change allows us to run multiple simultaneous GDB sessions without
having each session overwrite the added history of each other session on
exit.
Care must be taken to ensure that the history file doesn't get corrupted
when multiple GDB processes are trying to simultaneously append to and
then truncate it. Safety is achieved in such a situation by using an
intermediate local history file to mutually exclude multiple processes
from simultaneously performing write operations on the global history
file.

The #line directives within GDB's autogenerated yacc files (e.g.
c-exp.c) are being incorrectly munged, causing these directives to refer
to nonexistent source files, e.g.
#line 36 "/home/patrick/binutils-gdb/gdb//home/patrick/binutils-gdb/gdb/c-exp.y"
as opposed to
#line 36 "/home/patrick/binutils-gdb/gdb/c-exp.y"
The munging happens due to a sed expression added by commit 954d8cae
whose intended purpose[1] was to work around the fact that ylwrap emitted #line
directives without any directory information, e.g.
#line 36 "c-exp.y"
So the sed expression was meant to munge such directives to refer to
absolute paths instead. But the behavior of ylwrap was changed some
years ago[2] to emit absolute paths within #line directives. And when
our local copy of ylwrap was synced by commit e30465112, the sed
expression in question became unnecessary, and indeed harmful.
This patch removes the now-obsolete sed expression. The emitted #line
directives are now correct without it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (.y.c): Don't munge yacc's #line
directives.

This patch primarily rewrites defaulted_query() to use
gdb_readline_wrapper() to prompt the user for input, like
prompt_for_continue() does. The motivation for this rewrite is to be
able to reuse the default query hook in TUI, obviating the need for a
custom TUI query hook.
However, having TUI use the default query mechanism exposed a couple of
latent bugs in tui_redisplay_readline() related to the handling of
multi-line prompts, in particular GDB's multi-line quit prompt.
The first issue is an off-by-one error in the calculation of the height
of the prompt. The check in question should be col <= prev_col, not c <
prev_col, to properly account for the case when a prompt contains
multiple consecutive newlines. Failing to do so makes TUI have the
wrong idea of the vertical height of the prompt. This patch fixes the
column check.
The second issue is that cur_line does not get updated to reflect the
cursor position if the user's prompt cursor is at the end of the prompt
(i.e. if rl_point == rl_end). cur_line only gets updated if rl_point
lies between 0..rl_end-1 because that is the bounds of the for loop
responsible for updating cur_line. This patch changes the loop's bounds
to 0..rl_end so that cur_line always gets updated.
With these two bug fixes out of the way, the default query mechanism
works well in TUI even with multi-line prompts like GDB's quit prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.c (defaulted_query): Rewrite to use gdb_readline_wrapper
to prompt for input.
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_query_hook): Remove.

This commit adds a non-stop mode test originally inspired by
signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp, that exposes the
thread starvation issues fixed by the previous patches. It sets a set
of threads stepping in parallel, and has one of them get a signal.
Without the previous fixes, this would fail with timeouts.

Running the testsuite with a series that reimplements user-visible
all-stop behavior on top of a target running in non-stop mode revealed
problems related to event starvation avoidance.
For example, I see
gdb.threads/signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp failing.
What happens is that GDB core never gets to see the signal event. It
ends up processing the events for the same threads over an over,
because Linux's waitpid(-1, ...) returns that first task in the task
list that has an event, starving threads on the tail of the task list.
So I wrote a non-stop mode test originally inspired by
signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp, to stress this
independently of all-stop on top of non-stop. Fixing it required the
changes described below. The test will be added in a following
commit.
1) linux-nat.c has code in place that picks an event LWP at random out
of all that have had events. This is because on the kernel side,
"waitpid(-1, ...)" just walks the task list linearly looking for the
first that had an event. But, this code is currently only used in
all-stop mode. So with a multi-threaded program that has multiple
events triggering debug events in parallel, GDB ends up starving some
threads.
To make the event randomization work in non-stop mode too, the patch
makes us pull out all the already pending events on the kernel side,
with waitpid, before deciding which LWP to report to the core.
There's some code in linux_wait that takes care of leaving events
pending if they were for LWPs the caller is not interested in. The
patch moves that to linux_nat_filter_event, so that we only have one
place that leaves events pending. With that in place, conceptually,
the flow is simpler and more normalized:
#1 - walk the LWP list looking for an LWP with a pending event to report.
#2 - if no pending event, pull events out of the kernel, and store
them in the LWP structures as pending.
#3- goto #1.
2) Then, currently the event randomization code only considers SIGTRAP
(or trap-like) events. That means that if e.g., have have multiple
threads stepping in parallel that hit a breakpoint that needs stepping
over, and one gets a signal, the signal may end up never getting
processed, because GDB will always be giving priority to the SIGTRAPs.
The patch fixes this by making the randomization code consider all
kinds of pending events.
3) If multiple threads hit a breakpoint, we report one of those, and
"cancel" the others. Cancelling means decrementing the PC, and
discarding the event. If the next time the LWP is resumed the
breakpoint is still installed, the LWP should hit it again, and we'll
report the hit then. The problem I found is that this delays threads
from advancing too much, with the kernel potentially ending up
scheduling the same threads over and over, and others not advancing.
So the patch switches away from cancelling the breakpoints, and
instead remembering that the LWP had stopped for a breakpoint. If on
resume the breakpoint is still installed, we report it. If it's no
longer installed, we discard the pending event then. This is actually
how GDBserver used to handle this before d50171e4 (Teach linux
gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints), but with the difference that back
then we'd delay adjusting the PC until resuming, which made it so that
"info threads" could wrongly see threads with unadjusted PCs.

A subsequent patch will make the Linux backend's target_wait method
pull all events out of the kernel (with waitpid) and store them as
pending status in the LWP structure if no pending status was already
available. Then, the backend goes over the pending statuses and pick
one to report to the core.
With that, the existing thread-execl.exp test exposes a bug, like:
(gdb) set scheduler-locking on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock on: set scheduler-locking on
next
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock on: get to main in new image (timeout)
Recall that when the non-leader thread execs, all threads in the
process die, the execing thread changes its pid to the tgid, and then
waitpid returns an exec event to the tgid. If GDB didn't resume the
leader LWP, then GDB sees an event for an LWP that was supposedly
stopped, and thus not marked as resumed. Because the code that picks
a pending event to report to the core ignores not-resumed LWPs:
/* Return non-zero if LP has a wait status pending. */
static int
status_callback (struct lwp_info *lp, void *data)
{
/* Only report a pending wait status if we pretend that this has
indeed been resumed. */
if (!lp->resumed)
return 0;
the event ends up pending forever, thus the timeout.

Set the LWP's 'resumed' flag.
Whenever we resume an LWP, we must clear a few flags and flush the
LWP's register cache. We actually currently flush the register cache
of all LWPs, but that's unnecessary. This patch makes us flush the
register cache of only the LWP that is resumed. Instead of open
coding all that in many places, we use a helper function.
Likewise, we have two fields in the LWP structure where a pending
status may be recorded. Add a helper predicate that checks both and
use it throughout instead of open coding the checks.

This patch fixes the watch_thread_num.exp test to work when the target
is better at making event handling be fair among threads.
I wrote patches that make GDB native and GDBserver event handling
fairer between threads. That is, if threads A and B both
simultaneously trigger some debug event, GDB will pick either A or B
at random, rather than always handling the event of A first. There's
code for that in the Linux backends (gdb and gdbserver) already, but
it can be improved, and only works in all-stop mode.
With those fixes in place, I found that the watch_thread_num.exp would
often time out. The problem is that the test only works _because_
event handling isn't as fair as intended. With the fairness fixes,
the test falls victim of PR10116 (gdb drops watchpoints on
multi-threaded apps) quite often.
To expand on the PR10116 reference, consider that stop events are
serialized to GDB core, through target_wait. Say a thread-specific
watchpoint as set on thread A. When the "right" thread and some other
"wrong" thread both trigger a watchpoint simultaneously, the target
may report the "wrong" thread's hit to GDB first (thread B). When
handling that event, GDB notices the watchpoint is for another thread,
and so shouldn't cause a user-visible stop. On resume, GDB saves the
now current value of the watched expression. Afterwards, the "right"
thread (thread A) reports its watchpoint trigger. But the watched
value hasn't changed since GDB last saved it, and so GDB doesn't
report the watchpoint hit to the user.
The way the test is written, the watchpoint is associated with the
first thread that happens to report an event. It happens that GDB is
processing events much more often for one of the threads, which
usually will be that same first thread.
Hacking the test with "set debug infrun 1", we see exactly that:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
70 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798],
37 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8802],
36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8804],
36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8803],
35 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8805],
34 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8806],
The first column shows the number of times the target reported an
event for that thread, from:
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
This masks out the PR10116 issue.
However, if the target is better at giving equal priority to all
threads, the PR10116 issue happens often, so it may take quite a while
for the right thread to be the first to report its watchpoint event
just after the memory being watched really changed, resulting in test
time outs.
Here's the number of events handled for each thread on a gdbserver run
with the event fairness patches:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," gdb.log | sort | uniq -c
2961 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13591],
2956 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13595],
2941 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13596],
2932 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13597],
2905 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13598],
2891 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13599],
Note how the number of events is much higher. The test routinely
takes over 10 seconds to finish on my machine rather than under a
second as with unpatched gdbserver, when it succeeds, but often it'll
fail with timeouts too.
So to make the test robust, this patch switches the tests to using
"awatch" instead of "watch", as access watchpoints don't care about
the watchpoint's "old value". With this, the test always finishes
quickly, and we can even bump the number of threads concurrently
writting to the shared variable, to have better assurance we're really
testing the case of the "wrong" thread triggering a watchpoint.
Here's the number of events I see for each thread on a run on my
machine, with a gdbserver patched with the event fairness series:
$ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c
5 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5302],
4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5303],

These three test all spawn a few threads and then send a SIGSTOP to
their parent GDB in order to pause it while the new threads set things
up for the test. With a GDB patch that changes the inferior thread's

[A test I wrote stumbled on a libthread_db issue related to thread
event breakpoints. See glibc PR17705:
[nptl_db: stale thread create/death events if debugger detaches]
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17705
This patch avoids that whole issue by making GDB stop using thread
event breakpoints in the first place, which is good for other reasons
as well, anyway.]
Before PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (Linux 2.6), the only way to learn about new
threads in the inferior (to attach to them) or to learn about thread
exit was to coordinate with the inferior's glibc/runtime, using
libthread_db. That works by putting a breakpoint at a magic address
which is called when a new thread is spawned, or when a thread is
about to exit. When that breakpoint is hit, all threads are stopped,
and then GDB coordinates with libthread_db to read data structures out
of the inferior to learn about what happened. Then the breakpoint is
single-stepped, and then all threads are re-resumed. This isn't very
efficient (stops all threads) and is more fragile (inferior's thread
list in memory may be corrupt; libthread_db bugs, etc.) than ideal.
When the kernel supports PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (which we already make use
of), there's really no need to use libthread_db's event reporting
mechanism to learn about new LWPs. And if the kernel supports that,
then we learn about LWP exits through regular WIFEXITED wait statuses,
so no need for the death event breakpoint either.
GDBserver has been likewise skipping the thread_db events for a long
while:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html
There's one user-visible difference: we'll no longer print about
threads being created and exiting while the program is running, like:
[Thread 0x7ffff7dbb700 (LWP 30670) exited]
[New Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671)]
[Thread 0x7ffff7dd3700 (LWP 30667) exited]
[New Thread 0x7ffff7dab700 (LWP 30672)]
[Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671) exited]
[Thread 0x7ffff7dcb700 (LWP 30668) exited]
This is exactly the same behavior as when debugging against remote
targets / gdbserver. I actually think that's a good thing (and as
such have listed this in the local/remote parity wiki page a while
ago), as the printing slows down the inferior. It's also a
distraction to keep bothering the user about short-lived threads that
she won't be able to interact with anyway. Instead, the user (and
frontend) will be informed about new threads that currently exist in
the program when the program next stops:
(gdb) c

I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns
short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of
them.
On GNU/Linux, attaching to a multi-threaded program sometimes prints
out warnings like:
...
[New LWP 20700]
warning: unable to open /proc file '/proc/-1/status'
[New LWP 20850]
[New LWP 21019]
...
That happens because when a thread exits, and is joined, glibc does:
nptl/pthread_join.c:
pthread_join ()
{
...
if (__glibc_likely (result == 0))
{
/* We mark the thread as terminated and as joined. */
pd->tid = -1;
...
/* Free the TCB. */
__free_tcb (pd);
}
So if we attach or interrupt the program (which does an implicit "info
threads") at just the right (or rather, wrong) time, we can find and
return threads in the libthread_db/pthreads thread list with kernel
thread ID -1. I've filed glibc PR nptl/17707 for this. You'll find
more info there.
This patch handles this as a special case in GDB.
This is actually more than just a cosmetic issue. lin_lwp_attach_lwp
will think that this -1 is an LWP we're not attached to yet, and after
failing to attach will try to check we were already attached to the
process, using a waitpid call, which in this case ends up being
"waitpid (-1, ...", which obviously results in GDB potentially
discarding an event when it shouldn't...

... instead of relying on libthread_db.
I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns
short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of
them.
On Linux, we need to attach to all threads of a process (thread group)
individually. We currently rely on libthread_db to list the threads,
but that is problematic, because libthread_db relies on reading data
structures out of the inferior (which may well be corrupted). If
threads are being created or exiting just while we try to attach, we
may trip on inconsistencies in the inferior's thread list. To work
around that, when we see a seemingly corrupt list, we currently retry
a few times:
static void
thread_db_find_new_threads_2 (ptid_t ptid, int until_no_new)
{
...
if (until_no_new)
{
/* Require 4 successive iterations which do not find any new threads.
The 4 is a heuristic: there is an inherent race here, and I have
seen that 2 iterations in a row are not always sufficient to
"capture" all threads. */
...
That heuristic may well fail, and when it does, we end up with threads
in the program that aren't under GDB's control. That's obviously bad
and results in quite mistifying failures, like e.g., the process dying
for seeminly no reason when a thread that wasn't attached trips on a
breakpoint.
There's really no reason to rely on libthread_db for this nowadays
when we have /proc mounted. In that case, which is the usual case, we
can list the LWPs from /proc/PID/task/. In fact, GDBserver is already
doing this. The patch factors out that code that knows to walk the
task/ directory out of GDBserver, and makes GDB use it too.
Like GDBserver, the patch makes GDB attach to LWPs and _not_ wait for
them to stop immediately. Instead, we just tag the LWP as having an
expected stop. Because we can only set the ptrace options when the
thread stops, we need a new flag in the lwp structure to keep track of
whether we've already set the ptrace options, just like in GDBserver.
Note that nothing issues any ptrace command to the threads between the
PTRACE_ATTACH and the stop, so this is safe (unlike one scenario
described in gdbserver's linux-low.c).
When we attach to a program that has threads exiting while we attach,
it's easy to race with a thread just exiting as we try to attach to
it, like:
#1 - get current list of threads
#2 - attach to each listed thread
#3 - ooops, attach failed, thread is already gone
As this is pretty normal, we shouldn't be issuing a scary warning in
step #3.
When #3 happens, PTRACE_ATTACH usually fails with ESRCH, but sometimes
we'll see EPERM as well. That happens when the kernel still has the
thread in its task list, but the thread is marked as dead.
Unfortunately, EPERM is ambiguous and we'll get it also on other
scenarios where the thread isn't dead, and in those cases, it's useful
to get a warning. To distiguish the cases, when we get an EPERM
failure, we open /proc/PID/status, and check the thread's state -- if
the /proc file no longer exists, or the state is "Z (Zombie)" or "X
(Dead)", we ignore the EPERM error silently; otherwise, we'll warn.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a kernel race here. Sometimes I get
EPERM, and then the /proc state still indicates "R (Running)"... If
we wait a bit and retry, we do end up seeing X or Z state, or get an
ESRCH. I thought of making GDB retry the attach a few times, but even
with a 500ms wait and 4 retries, I still see the warning sometimes. I
haven't been able to identify the kernel path that causes this yet,
but in any case, it looks like a kernel bug to me. As this just
results failure to suppress a warning that we've been printing since
about forever anyway, I'm just making the test cope with it, and issue
an XFAIL.

We already skip "attach" tests if the target board is remote, in
dejagnu's sense, as we use TCL's exec to spawn the program on the
build machine. We should also skip these tests if testing with
"target remote" or other stub-like targets where "attach" doesn't make
sense.
Add a helper procedure that centralizes the checks a test that needs
to spawn a program for testing "attach" and make all test files that
use spawn_wait_for_attach check it.

I see the error message "access outside bounds of object referenced
via synthetic pointer" in the two fails below of mips gdb testing
print d[-2]^M
access outside bounds of object referenced via synthetic pointer^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/implptrconst.exp: print d[-2]
(gdb) print/d p[-1]^M
access outside bounds of object referenced via synthetic pointer^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece.exp: print/d p[-1]
in the first test, 'd[-2]' is processed by GDB as '* (&d[-2])'. 'd'
is a synthetic pointer, so its value is zero, the address of 'd[-2]'
is -2. In dwarf2loc.c:indirect_pieced_value,
/* This is an offset requested by GDB, such as value subscripts.
However, due to how synthetic pointers are implemented, this is
always presented to us as a pointer type. This means we have to
sign-extend it manually as appropriate. */
byte_offset = value_as_address (value);
if (TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (value)) < sizeof (LONGEST))
byte_offset = gdb_sign_extend (byte_offset,
8 * TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (value)));
byte_offset += piece->v.ptr.offset;
We know that the value is really an offset instead of address, so the
fix is to extract the value as an (signed) offset.

Those symbols cannot be displayed correctly in the backtrace stack.

The test entry-values.exp doesn't recognize the call instructions
on MIPS, such as JAL, JALS and etc, so this patch sets call_insn
to match various jump and branch instructions first.
Currently, we assume the next instruction address of call instruction
is the address returned from foo, however it is not correct on MIPS
which has delay slot. We extend variable call_insn to match one
instruction after jump or branch instruction, so that
$returned_from_foo is correct on MIPS.
All tests in entry-values.exp are PASS.

Currently when we start an inferior we have the inferior inherit our
terminal state. Under TUI, our terminal is highly modified by ncurses
and readline. So when starting an inferior under TUI, the inferior will
have a highly modified terminal state which will interfere with standard
I/O. For example,
$ gdb gdb
(gdb) break main
(gdb) run
(gdb) print puts ("a\nb")
a
b
$1 = 4
(gdb) [enter TUI mode]
(gdb) run
(gdb) [exit TUI mode]
(gdb) print puts ("a\nb")
a
b
$2 = 4
(gdb) print puts ("a\r\nb\r")
a
b
$3 = 6
As you can see, when we start the inferior under the regular interface,
puts() prints the text properly. But when we start the inferior under
TUI, puts() does not print the text properly. This is because when we
start the inferior under TUI it inherits our current terminal state
which has been modified by ncurses to, among other things, require an
explicit \r\n to print a new line. As a result the inferior performs
standard I/O in an unexpected way.
Because of this discrepancy, it doesn't seem like a good idea to have
the inferior inherit our _current_ terminal state for it may have been
modified by readline and/or ncurses. Instead, we should have the
inferior inherit a pristine snapshot of our terminal state taken before
readline or ncurses have had a chance to alter it. This enables the
inferior to run in a more accurate way, more closely mimicking the
program's behavior had it run standalone. And it fixes the above
mentioned issue.

This fixes a similar error as in the Python support code where
trying to create an empty array.

be an empty array, not an array with a negative length.
