Currently, when remote debugging, if you type Ctrl-C just while the
target stopped for an internal event, and GDB is busy doing something
that takes a while (e.g., fetching chunks of a shared library off of
the target, with vFile, to process ELF headers and debug info), the
Ctrl-C is lost.
The patch hooks up the QUIT macro to a new target method that lets the
target react to the double-Ctrl-C before the event loop is reached,
which allows reacting to a double-Ctrl-C even when GDB is busy doing
some long operation and not waiting for a stop reply. That end result
is:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
Interrupted while waiting for the program.
Give up waiting? (y or n) y
Quit
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 11673 0x00007ffff7deb240 in _dl_debug_state () from target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb)
If, however, GDB is waiting for a stop reply (because the target has
been resumed, with e.g., vCont;c), but the target isn't responding, we
now get:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
The target is not responding to interrupt requests.
Stop debugging it? (y or n) y
Disconnected from target.
(gdb) info threads
No threads.
This offers to disconnect, because when we're waiting for a stop
reply, there's nothing else we can send the target other than an
interrupt request. And if that doesn't work, there's nothing else we
can do.
The Ctrl-C is presently lost because until we get to a user-visible
stop, the SIGINT handler that is installed is the one that forwards
the interrupt to the remote side, with the \003 "packet" [1]. But,
gdbserver ignores an interrupt request if the program is stopped.
Still, even if it didn't, the server can only report back a
stop-because-of-SIGINT when the program is next resumed. And it may
take a while to actually re-resume the target.
[1] - In the old sync days, the remote target would react to a
double-Ctrl-C by asking users whether they wanted to give up waiting
and disconnect. The code is still there, but it it isn't reacheable
on most hosts, which support serial connections in async mode
(probably only DJGPP doesn't). Even then, in sync mode, remote.c's
SIGINT handler is only installed while the target is resumed, and is
removed as soon as the target sends back a stop reply. That means
that a Ctrl-C just while GDB is processing an internal event can end
up with an odd "Quit" at the prompt instead of "Program stopped by
SIGINT". In contrast, in async mode, remote.c's SIGINT handler is set
up as long as target_terminal_inferior or
target_terminal_ours_for_output are in effect (IOW, until we get a
user-visible stop and call target_terminal_ours), so the user
shouldn't get back a spurious Quit. However, it's still desirable to
be able to interrupt a long-running GDB operation, if GDB takes a
while to re-resume the target or get back to the event loop.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

In debug_reg_change_callback, we change debug registers of each LWP.
It makes more sense to print LWP's pid rather than group leader's pid.
gdb:

* nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c (debug_reg_change_callback):
Rename local variable pid to tid, and get lwpid of lwp. Update
debug output.
GDB's current behavior when dealing with non-local references in the
context of nested fuctions is approximative:
- code using valops.c:value_of_variable read the first available stack
frame that holds the corresponding variable (whereas there can be
multiple candidates for this);
- code directly relying on read_var_value will instead read non-local
variables in frames where they are not even defined.
This change adds the necessary context to symbol reads (to get the block
they belong to) and to blocks (the static link property, if any) so that
GDB can make the proper decisions when dealing with non-local varibale
references.

If multiprocess extensions are off (because specific gdbserver port
doesn't support them), then when gdbserver doesn't have a thread
selected yet, and GDB sends Hg packet to select one, gdbserver
crashes. That's because extracting the desired thread id out of the
packet that GDB sent depends on the current thread to fill in the
missing process id ... Fix this by getting the process id from the
first (and only) process in the processes list instead.
The GNU/Linux port doesn't trip on this because it always runs with
multiprocess extensions enabled. To make it easier to catch such
regressions going forward, this commit also adds a new smoke test that
spawns gdbserver, connects to it and runs to main with the
multiprocess extensions force-disabled.

After the last gnulib import (Dec 2012), gnulib upstream started
replacing mingw's 'struct timeval' with a version with 64-bit time_t,
for POSIX compliance:
commit f8e84098084b3b53bc6943a5542af1f607ffd477
Author: Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
Date: Sat Jan 28 18:12:10 2012 +0100
sys_time: Override 'struct timeval' on some native Windows platforms.
See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00372.html
However, that results in conflicts with native Winsock2's 'select':
select()'s argument
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/29610438/
... and libiberty's timeval-utils.h timeval_add/timeval_sub, at the
least.
We don't really need the POSIX compliance, so this patch prepares us
to simply not use gnulib's 'struct timeval' replacement once a more
recent gnulib is imported, thus preserving the current behavior, by
adding a sys/time.h wrapper header that undefs gnulib's replacements,
and including that everywhere instead.
The SIZE -> OSIZE change is necessary because newer gnulib's
sys/time.h also includes windows.h/winsock2.h, which defines a
conflicting SIZE symbol.
Cross build-tested mingw-w64 32-bit and 64-bit.
Regtested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

While doing some powerpc Linux tests on a ppc 476 board using GCC 5.2, i
noticed inline-bt.exp, inline-cmds.exp and inline-locals.exp failing.

They failed because the breakpoint supposedly inserted at bar was actually
inserted at noinline.
(gdb) break inline-markers.c:20^M
Breakpoint 2 at 0x1000079c: file gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-markers.c, line 20.^M
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
^M
Breakpoint 2, noinline () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-markers.c:35^M
35 inlined_fn (); /* inlined */^M
As we can see, line 20 is really inside bar, not noinline:
18 void bar(void)
19 {
20 x += y; /* set breakpoint 1 here */
21 }
Further investigation shows that this is really due to GCC 5's new
ICF pass (-fipa-icf), now enabled by default at -O2, which folds bar
and marker into noinline, where the call to inlined_fn was inlined.
This breaks the testcase since it expects to stop at specific spots.
I thought about two possible fixes for this issue.
- Disable the ICF pass manually when building the binary (-fno-ipa-icf).
This has the advantage of not having to touch the testcase sources themselves,
but the disadvantage of having to add conditional blocks to test the GCC
version. If we ever change GCC's default, we will have to adjust the
conditional block again to match GCC's behavior.
- Modify the testcase sources to make the identical functions unique.
This solution doesn't touch the testcase itself, but changes the source
code slightly in order to make bar, marker and inlined_fn unique. This
causes GCC's ICF pass to ignore these functions and not fold them into
a common identical function.
I'm good with either of them, but i'm more inclined to go with the second
one.
The attached patch implements this by adding the new global variable z, set
to 0, that gets added in different ways to marker and inlined_fn. Since it
is 0, it doesn't affect any possible value checks that we may wish to do
in the future (we currently only check for values changed by bar).
Ok?
ps: I also noticed GDB doesn't do a great job at stating that the breakpoint
was actually inserted at a different source line than previously requested,
so this sounds like a bug that should be fixed, if it is not just wrong
DWARF information (did not investigate it further).

This avoids two more types of FAILs with the gnu_vector test case.
First, for POWER targets newer GCCs emit an ABI note when invoked with
"-mcpu=native". Then the test case fell back to non-native compile,
producing code for a non-vector ABI. But that is not supported by GDB.
Thus the compiler note is now suppressed with "-Wno-psabi".
Second, on s390 the test case produced FAILs after falling back to a
non-vector ABI when using "finish" or "return" in a vector-valued
function. This was due to a long-standing known bug (Bug 8549). This
case is now detected, and KFAILs are emitted instead.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: Try compilation with "-mcpu=native
-Wno-psabi" if "-mcpu=native" fails. For the tests with "finish"
and "return" use KFAIL when GDB can not read/write the vector
return value.

This patch fixes the following bug in TUI:
(gdb) break foo
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) <ENTER>
By submitting an empty command line to a secondary prompt, the line
corresponding to the secondary prompt is undesirably cleared and
overwritten. Outside of a secondary prompt, clearing the prompt line
after submitting an empty command line is intended behavior which
complements GDB's repeat-command shorthand. But inside a secondary
prompt, this behavior is undesired since the shorthand is not applicable
in that case. We should retain the secondary-prompt line even when it's
given no input.
This patch makes sure that a prompt that was given an empty command line
is cleared and overwritten only if it's not a secondary prompt. To
acheive this, a new predicate is defined which informs us whether the
current input handler is a secondary prompt.

* top.h (gdb_in_secondary_prompt_p): Declare.
* top.c (gdb_secondary_prompt_depth): Define.
(gdb_in_secondary_prompt_p): Define.

gdb_secondary_prompt_depth.
(gdb_readline_wrapper): Increment gdb_secondary_prompt_depth.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Don't clear the prompt line if we
are in a secondary prompt.
This is necessary to make sure that start_line is updated after a
command has been entered. Usually, start_line gets updated anyway
because most commands output text, and outputting text is done through
the function tui_puts, which updates start_line. However if a command
does not output text, then tui_puts will not get called and start_line
will not get updated in time for the next prompt to be displayed.
One can observe this bug by executing the command "delete" within TUI.
After executing, the prompt line
(gdb) delete
gets overwritten by the next prompt. With this patch, the prompt line
gets preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Use tui_putc instead of waddch to
emit the newline.

Clearly this means that a thread pushed a stop reply in the event
queue, and then before GDB confused the event, the whole process died,
along with its thread. But the pending thread event was left
dangling. When GDB fetched that event, gdbserver looked up the
corresponding thread, but found NULL; not expecting this, gdbserver
crashes when it tries to read this thread's registers.

In all-stop mode, if the current thread disappears while stopping all
threads, gdbserver calls set_desired_thread(0) ['0' means "I want the
continue thread"] which just picks the first thread in the list.
This looks like a dangerous thing to do. GDBserver continues
processing whatever it was doing, but to the wrong thread. If
debugging more than one process, we may even pick the wrong process.
Instead, GDBserver should detect the situation and bail out of
whatever is was doing.
The backends used to pay attention to the set 'cont_thread' (the Hc
thread, used in the old way to resume threads, before vCont), but all
such 'cont_thread' checks have been eliminated meanwhile. The
remaining implicit dependencies that I found on there being a selected
thread in the backends are in the Ctrl-C handling, which some backends
use as thread to send a signal to. Even that seems to me to be better
handled by always using the first thread in the list or by using the
signal_pid PID.
In order to make this a systematic approach, I'm making
set_desired_thread never fallback to a random thread, and instead end
up with current_thread == NULL, like already done in non-stop mode.
Then I updated all callers to handle the situation.
I stumbled on this while fixing other bugs exposed by
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test. The problems I saw were fixed
in a different way, but in any case, I think the potential for
problems is more or less obvious, and the resulting code looks a bit
less magical to me.

These fields are currently used to track the location of the cursor
inside the command window. But their usefulness is questionable because
ncurses already internally keeps track of the location of the cursor,
whose coordinates we can query using the functions getyx(), getcurx() or
getcury(). It is an unnecessary pain to keep these fields in sync with
ncurses, and their meaning is not well-defined anyway. For instance, it
is not clear whether the coordinates held in these fields are
authoritative, or whether the coordinates reported by ncurses are.
So to keep things simple, this patch removes these fields and replaces
existing reads of these fields with calls to the appropriate ncurses
querying functions, and replaces writes to these fields with calls to
wmove() (when necessary and applicable).
In the function tui_cont_sig(), I removed the call to wmove() entirely
because moving to (start_line, curch) makes no sense. The move should
have been to (cur_line, curch) -- which would now be a no-op.

Commit 221e1a37 (remote non-stop: Process initially stopped threads
before other commands) caused a test regression when testing with the
native-extended-gdbserver board:
FAIL: gdb.server/solib-list.exp: non-stop 1: non-stop interior stop (timeout)
This "interior stop" now happens before "target remote" prints the
prompt, so we should no longer explicitly expect it.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-08-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.server/solib-list.exp: No longer expect an interior stop in
non-stop mode.
The main motivation for this is making non-stop / all-stop behave
similarly on initial connection, in order to move in the direction of
reimplementing all-stop mode with the remote target always running in
non-stop mode.
When we connect to a remote target in non-stop mode, we may find
threads either running or already stopped. The act of connecting
itself does not force threads to stop. To handle that, the remote
non-stop connection is currently roughly like this:
#1 - Fetch list of remote threads (qXfer:threads:read, qfThreadInfo,
etc). All threads are assumed to be running until the target
reports an asynchronous stop reply for them.
#2 - Fetch the initial set of threads that were already stopped, with
the '?' packet. (In non-stop, this is coupled with the vStopped
mechanism to be able to retrieve the status of more than one
thread.)
The stop replies fetched in #2 are placed in the pending stop reply
queue, and left for the regular event loop to process. That is,
"target remote" finishes and returns _before_ those stops are
processed.
That means that it's possible to have GDB process further commands
before the initial set of stopped threads is reported to the user.
E.g., before the patch, note how the prompt is printed before the
frame:
Remote debugging using :9999
(gdb)
[Thread 15296] #1 stopped.
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
Even though thread #1 was not running, for a moment, the user can see
it as such:
$ gdb a.out -ex "set non-stop 1" -ex "tar rem :9999" -ex "info threads" -ex "info registers"
Remote debugging using :9999
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 4772 (running)
Target is executing. <<<<<<< info registers
(gdb)
[Thread 4772] #1 stopped.
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
To fix that, this commit makes gdb process all threads found already
stopped at connection time, before giving the prompt to the user.
The fix takes a cue from fork-child.c:startup_inferior [1], and
processes the events locally in remote.c, avoiding the whole
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event path. I decided to try this
approach after noticing that:
- several cases in handle_inferior_event miss checking stop_soon.
- we don't want to fetch the thread list in normal_stop.
and trying to fix them was resulting in sprinkling stop_soon checks in
many places, and uglifying normal_stop even more.
While with this patch, I'm avoiding changing GDB's output other than
when the prompt is printed, I think this approach is more flexible if
we do want to change it. And also, it's likely easier to get rid of
the MI *running event that is still sent for threads that are
initially found stopped, if we want to.
This happens to fix the testsuite too. All non-stop tests are racy
against "target remote" / gdbserver testing currently. That is,
sometimes the tests run, but other times they're just skipped without
any indication of PASS/FAIL. When that happens, the logs show:
target remote localhost:2346

}

Before this change, trying to evaluate the following Ada expression
yielded a syntax error, even though it's completely legal:
(gdb) p s'first = 'a'
Error in expression, near `'.
The problem lies in the lexer (gdb/ada-lex.l): at the point we reach "'a'",
we're still in the BEFORE_QUAL_QUOTE start condition (the mechanism to
distinguish character literals from other "tick" usages: qualified
expressions and attributes), so we consider that this quote is actually a
separate "tick".
This changes resets the start condition to INITIAL in the
{TICK}[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]+ rule (for attributes): attributes activate this
BEFORE_QUAL_QUOTE condition and in this case the above rule is always
executed rather than the <BEFORE_QUAL_QUOTE>"'" one (in flex, it's
always the longest match that is chosen). We now have instead:
(gdb) p s'first = 'a'
$1 = true

This change introduces a new function, dwarf2_string_attr(), which is
a wrapper for dwarf2_attr(). dwarf2read.c has been updated to
call dwarf2_string_attr in most instances where a string-valued
attribute is decoded to produce a string value. In most cases, it
simplifies the code; in some instances, the complexity of the code
remains unchanged.
I performed this change by looking for instances where the
result of DW_STRING was used in an assignment. Many of these
had a pattern which (roughly) looks something like this:
struct attribute *attr = NULL;
attr = dwarf2_attr (die, name, cu);
if (attr != NULL && DW_STRING (attr))
{
const char *str;
...
str = DW_STRING (attr);
... /* Use str in some fashion. */
}
Code of this form is transformed to look like this instead:
const char *str;
str = dwarf2_string_attr (die, name, cu)
if (str != NULL)
{
...
/* Use str in some fashion. */
...
}
In addition to invoking dwarf2_attr() and DW_STRING(),
dwarf2_string_attr() checks to make sure that the attribute's
`form' field matches one of DW_FORM_strp, DW_FORM_string, or
DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt. If it does not match one of these forms,
it will return a NULL value in addition to calling complaint().
An earlier version of this patch did this type checking for one
particular instance where a string attribute was being decoded.
The situation that I was attempting to handle in that earlier patch is
this:
The Texas Instruments compiler uses the encoding for
DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name for other purposes. TI uses the encoding,
0x2007, for TI_AT_TI_end_line which, unlike DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name,
does not have a string-typed value. In this instance, GDB was attempting
to use an integer value as a string pointer, with predictable results.
(GDB would die with a segmentation fault.)
I've added a test which reproduces the problem that I was orignally
wanting to fix. It uses DW_AT_MIPS_linkage name with an associate
value which is a string, and again, where the value is a small
integer.
My test case causes GDB to segfault in an unpatched GDB. There
will be two PASSes in a patched GDB.
Unpatched GDB:
(gdb) ptype f
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-bad-mips-linkage-name.exp: ptype f
ERROR: Couldn't send ptype g to GDB.

While handling "vFile:pread:" packets, gdbserver would read the
number of bytes requested regardless of whether this would fit
into the reply packet. gdbserver would then return a packet's
worth of data and discard the remainder. When accessing large
binaries GDB (via BFD) routinely makes large "vFile:pread:"
requests, resulting in gdbserver allocating large unnecessary
buffers and reading some portions of the file many times over.
This commit causes gdbserver to limit the number of bytes to be
read to a sensible maximum prior to allocating buffers and reading
data.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* hostio.c (handle_pread): Do not attempt to read more data
than hostio_reply_with_data can fit in a packet.
On some older versions of GNU/Linux, gdbserver now fails to build

This patch modifies linux-aarch32-low.c to define that macros when
not already defined.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Move documentation of "main

(File Caching): A New section. Outline bfd caching, and add new
description for "main set/show bfd-sharing".
Within gdb open bfd objects are reused where possible if an attempt is
made to reopen a file that is already being debugged. To spot if the on
disc file has changed gdb currently examines the mtime of the file and
compares it to the mtime of the open bfd in the cache.
A problem exists when the on disc file is being rapidly regenerated, as
happens, for example, with automated testing. In some cases the file is
generated so quickly that the mtime appears not to change, while the on
disc file has changed.
This patch extends the bfd cache to also hold the file size of the file,
the inode of the file, and the device id of the file; gdb can then
compare filename, file size, mtime, inode, and device id to determine if
an existing bfd object can be reused.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb_bfd.c (struct gdb_bfd_data): Add size, inode, and device id
field.

Markus reported that ASNS breaks target record-btrace. In particular,

In D, all named enums are explicitly scoped (the C++ equivalent of enum class)
so they should be handled as such in the language-specific symbol lookup

TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS are done.

One of the build slaves shows this error running explicit.exp:
(gdb) strace -m gdbfoobarbaz
Remote failure reply: E.In-process agent library not loaded in process.
Fast and static tracepoints unavailable.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: strace -m gdbfoobarbaz
There are two big problems with this test:
1) The expected output is actually not what the test is meant to test for.
2) This test should really only run where it is supported.
This is most easily fixed by moving the test to gdb.trace/strace.exp.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog
* gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: Move strace test from here ...

Invoking either of the above commands on an inferior that's not running

The "source centric" /m option to the disassemble command is often

Consider the following declaration:
function Foo (I : Integer) return Integer renames Pack.Bar;
As Foo is not materialized as a routine whose name is derived from Foo,
GDB currently cannot use it:

However, compilers can emit DW_TAG_imported_declaration in order to
materialize the fact that Foo is actually another name for Pack.Bar.

This happens because gdb_get_line_number will prepend $srcdir/$subdir
if the given filename does not start with "/", and this happens when
GDB was configured using a relative path to the configure script.
When using an absolute path like I do, we avoid the pre-pending that
Keith is seeing.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>:
* gdb.base/dso2dso.exp: Pass basename of source file in call
to gdb_get_line_number.
Tested on x86_64-linux with both scenarios.
Making all-stop run on top of non-stop caused a small regression
in behavior. This was observed on x86_64-linux. The attached testcase
is in C whereas the investigation was done with an Ada program,
but it's the same scenario, and using a C testcase allows wider testing.
Basically: I am debugging a single-threaded program, and currently
stopped inside a function provided by a shared-library, at a line
calling a subprogram provided by a second shared library, and trying
to "next" over that function call.
Before we changed the default all-stop behavior, we had:
7 Impl_Initialize; -- Stop here and try "next" over this line
(gdb) n
8 return 5; <<-- OK
But now, "next" just stops much earlier:
(gdb) n
0x00007ffff7bd8560 in impl.initialize@plt () from /[...]/lib/libpck.so
What happens is that next stops at a call instruction, which calls
the function's PLT, and GDB fails to notice that the inferior stepped
into a subroutine, and so decides that we're done. We can see another
symptom of the same issue by looking at the backtrace at the point
GDB stopped:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff7bd8560 in impl.initialize@plt ()
from /[...]/lib/libpck.so

Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
With a functioning GDB, the backtrace looks like the following instead:
#0 0x00007ffff7bd8560 in impl.initialize@plt ()
from /[...]/lib/libpck.so
#1 0x00007ffff7bd86f9 in sub () at /[...]/pck.adb:7
#2 0x0000000000401893 in a () at /[...]/a.adb:7
Note how, for frame #1, the address looks quite similar, except
for the high-order bits not being set:
#1 0x00007ffff7bd86f9 in sub () at /[...]/pck.adb:7 <<<-- OK
#1 0x00000000f7bd86f9 in ?? () <<<-- WRONG

Wrong
Investigating this further led me to displaced stepping.
As we are "next"-ing from a location where a breakpoint is inserted,
we need to step out of it, and since we're on non-stop mode, we need
to do it using displaced stepping. And looking at
amd64-tdep.c:amd64_displaced_step_fixup, I found the code that handles
the return address:
regcache_cooked_read_unsigned (regs, AMD64_RSP_REGNUM, &rsp);
retaddr = read_memory_unsigned_integer (rsp, retaddr_len, byte_order);
retaddr = (retaddr - insn_offset) & 0xffffffffUL;
The mask used to compute retaddr looks wrong to me, keeping only
4 bytes instead of 8, and explains why the high order bits of
the backtrace are unset. What happens is that, after the displaced
stepping has completed, GDB restores that return address at the location
where the program expects it. But because the top half bits of
the address have been masked out, the return address is now invalid.
The incorrect behavior of the "next" command and the backtrace at
that location are the first symptoms of that. Another symptom is
that this actually alters the behavior of the program, where a "cont"
from there soon leads to a SEGV when the inferior tries to jump back
to that incorrect return address:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000f7bd86f9 in ?? ()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This patch fixes the issue by using a mask that seems more appropriate
for this architecture.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* amd64-tdep.c (amd64_displaced_step_fixup): Fix the mask used to
compute RETADDR.

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
Keith found out that several tests were failing when testing the
native-gdbserver board on Fedora (x86_64). Strangely, these failures
had not been reported by our BuildBot. Later, he found that the reason
for this was because the failures only happened when running the
testsuite without FORCE_PARALLEL (i.e., on serial mode; maybe it would
be worth having a builder testing things on serial...). Then, he
decided to start bisecting the changes to see which one introduced the
failure (it was not trivial to know this only by looking at gdb.log).
After a lot of time, he found that Pedro's commit
e1316e60d4 was the culprit. There was
nothing wrong in the code, but the new gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp
testcase did something that left the GDBFLAGS variable in an
inconsistent state. This test works by modifying this variable to set
non-stop on, sourcing gdb.base/checkpoint.exp (which does the hard
work), and then restoring the old value on GDBFLAGS. However, this was
not working because gdb.base/checkpoint.exp bails out if it is being
tested on gdbserver, and when it calls "continue" the control goes back
to the function calling the tests, and not to
gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp.
The fix is simple: just wrap the "source" call, and make
gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp aware of the "continue"/"return" calls made
by gdb.base/checkpoint.exp.

While running bare-metal tests with GDB i noticed some failures in
gdb.base/break.exp, related to the use of the catch commands.
It turns out GDB tries to access memory address 0x0 whenever one tries
to insert a catchpoint, which should obviously not happen.
This was introduced with the changes for permanent breakpoints. In special,
bp_loc_is_permanent tries to check if there is a breakpoint inserted at
the same address as the current breakpoint's location's address. In the
case of catchpoints, this is 0x0.
(top-gdb) catch fork
Sending packet: $m0,1#fa...Packet received: E01
Catchpoint 4 (fork)
(top-gdb) catch vfork
Sending packet: $m0,1#fa...Packet received: E01
Catchpoint 5 (vfork)
It is not obvious to detect because this fails silently for Linux. For our
bare-metal testing, though, this fails with a clear error message from the
target about not being able to read such address.
The attached patch addresses this by bailing out of bp_loc_is_permanent (...)
if the location address is not meaningful. I also took the opportunity to
update the comment for breakpoint_address_is_meaningful, which mentioned
breakpoint addresses as opposed to their locations' addresses.

This patch exposes explicit locations to the CLI user. This enables
users to "explicitly" specify attributes of the breakpoint location
to avoid any ambiguity that might otherwise exist with linespecs.
The general syntax of explicit locations is:
-source SOURCE_FILENAME -line {+-}LINE -function FUNCTION_NAME
-label LABEL_NAME
Option names may be abbreviated, e.g., "-s SOURCE_FILENAME -li 3" and users
may use the completer with either options or values.

This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
adds no new features.
The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
...
}
one now uses:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
struct event_locaiton *location;
struct cleanup *back_to;
location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
do_cleanups (back_to);
}
Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
demonstrated above.

* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_always_non_stop_p): Return 1.
This adds displaced stepping support for the General-Instruction
Extension Facility instructions, which have a PC-relative displacement
(RIL-b/RIL-c). We already handle RIL branches, but not others.
Currently, displaced stepping a breakpoint put on any of these
instructions results in the inferior crashing when or after the
instruction is executed out-of-line in the scratch pad.
This patch takes the easy route of patching the displacement in the
copy of the instruction in the scratch pad. As the displacement is a
signed 32-bit field, it's possible that the stratch pad ends too far
that the needed displacement doesn't fit in the adjusted instruction,
as e.g., if stepping over a breakpoint in a shared library (the
scratch pad is around the main program's entry point). That case is
detected and GDB falls back to stepping over the breakpoint in-line
(which involves pausing all threads momentarily).
(We could probably do something smarter, but I don't plan on doing it
myself. This was already sufficient to get "maint set target-non-stop
on" working regression free on S/390.)
Tested on S/390 RHEL 7.1, where it fixes a few hundred FAILs when
testing with displaced stepping force-enabled, with the end result
being no regressions compared to a test run that doesn't force
displaced stepping. Fixes the non-stop tests compared to mainline
too; most are crashing due to this on the machine I run tests on.

Even though that was a native GNU/Linux test run, this test spawns
Valgrind and connects to it with "target remote". The error above is
actually orthogonal to target-non-stop. The real issue is that that
enables displaced stepping, and displaced stepping doesn't work with
Valgrind, because we can't write to the inferior memory (thus can't
copy the instruction to the scratch pad area).
I'm sure there will be other targets with the same issue, so trying to
identify Valgrind wouldn't be sufficient. The fix is to try setting
up the displaced step anyway. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, we disable
displaced stepping for that inferior, and fall back to doing an
in-line step-over. If "set displaced-stepping" is "on" (as opposed to
"auto), GDB warns displaced stepping failed ("on" is mainly useful for
the testsuite, not for users).

On a target that is both always in non-stop mode and can do displaced

Note "scheduler-locking" was set off. The problem is that on such
targets, the step-over of thread 2 and the "step" of thread 1 can be
set to run simultaneously (since with displaced stepping the
breakpoint isn't ever removed from the target), and sometimes, the
"step" of thread 1 finishes first, so it'd take another resume to see
the watchpoint trigger. Fix this by replacing the wait_threads
function with a one-line infinite loop that doesn't call any function,
so that the "step" of thread 1 never finishes.

That is, we get "[$thread] #1 stopped" instead of SIGINT.
The issue is that we don't currently distinguish send
"interrupt/ctrl-c" to target terminal vs "stop/pause" thread well;
both cases go through "target_stop".
And then, the native Linux backend (linux-nat.c) implements
target_stop with SIGSTOP in non-stop mode, and SIGINT in all-stop
mode. Since "maint set target-non-stop on" forces the backend to be
always running in non-stop mode, even though the user-visible behavior
is "set non-stop" is "off", "interrupt" causes a SIGSTOP instead of
the SIGINT the test expects.
Fix this by introducing a target_interrupt method to use in the
"interrupt/ctrl-c" case, so "set non-stop off" can always work the
same irrespective of "maint set target-non-stop on/off". I'm
explictly considering changing the "set non-stop on" behavior as out
of scope here.
Most of the patch is an across-the-board rename of to_stop hook
implementations to to_interrupt. The only targets where something
more than a rename is being done are linux-nat.c and remote.c, which
are the only targets that support async, and thus are the only ones
the core side calls target_stop on.

* signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp: Expect "restart

This finally implements user-visible all-stop mode running with the
target_ops backend always in non-stop mode. This is a stepping stone
towards finer-grained control of threads, being able to do interesting
things like thread groups, associating groups with breakpoints, etc.
From the user's perspective, all-stop mode is really just a special
case of being able to stop and resume specific sets of threads, so it
makes sense to do this step first.
With this, even in all-stop, the target is no longer in charge of
stopping all threads before reporting an event to the core -- the core
takes care of it when it sees fit. For example, when "next"- or
"step"-ing, we can avoid stopping and resuming all threads at each
internal single-step, and instead only stop all threads when we're
about to present the stop to the user.
The implementation is almost straight forward, as the heavy lifting
has been done already in previous patches. Basically, we replace
checks for "set non-stop on/off" (the non_stop global), with calls to
a new target_is_non_stop_p function. In a few places, if "set
non-stop off", we stop all threads explicitly, and in a few other
places we resume all threads explicitly, making use of existing
methods that were added for teaching non-stop to step over breakpoints
without displaced stepping.
This adds a new "maint set target-non-stop on/off/auto" knob that
allows both disabling the feature if we find problems, and
force-enable it for development (useful when teaching a target about
this. The default is "auto", which means the feature is enabled if a
new target method says it should be enabled. The patch implements the
method in linux-nat.c, just for illustration, because it still returns
false. We'll need a few follow up fixes before turning it on by
default. This is a separate target method from indicating regular
non-stop support, because e.g., while e.g., native linux-nat.c is
close to regression free with all-stop-non-stop (with following
patches will fixing the remaining regressions), remote.c+gdbserver
will still need more fixing, even though it supports "set non-stop
on".
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, with and without "set displaced
off", and with and without "maint set target-non-stop on"; and also
against gdbserver.

That is, step past breakpoints by:
- pausing all threads
- removing breakpoint at PC
- single-step
- reinsert breakpoint
- restart threads
similarly to all-stop (with displaced stepping disabled). This allows
non-stop to work on targets/architectures without displaced stepping
support. That is, it makes displaced stepping an optimization instead
of a requirement. For example, in principle, all GNU/Linux ports
support non-stop mode at the target_ops level, but not all
corresponding gdbarch's implement displaced stepping. This should
make non-stop work for all (albeit, not as efficiently). And then
there are scenarios where even if the architecture supports displaced
stepping, we can't use it, because we e.g., don't find a usable
address to use as displaced step scratch pad. It should also fix
stepping past watchpoints on targets that have non-continuable
watchpoints in non-stop mode (e.g., PPC, untested). Running the
instruction out of line in the displaced stepping scratch pad doesn't
help that case, as the copied instruction reads/writes the same
watched memory... We can fix that too by teaching GDB to only remove
the watchpoint from the thread that we want to move past the
watchpoint (currently, removing a watchpoint always removes it from
all threads), but again, that can be considered an optimization; not
all targets would support it.
For those familiar with the gdb and gdbserver Linux target_ops
backends, the implementation should look similar, except it is done on
the core side. When we pause threads, we may find they stop with an
interesting event that should be handled later when the thread is
re-resumed, thus we store such events in the thread object, and mark
the event as pending. We should only consume pending events if the
thread is indeed resumed, thus we add a new "resumed" flag to the
thread object. At a later stage, we might add new target methods to
accelerate some of this, like "pause all threads", with corresponding
RSP packets, but we'd still need a fallback method for remote targets
that don't support such packets, so, again, that can be deferred as
optimization.
My _real_ motivation here is making it possible to reimplement
all-stop mode on top of the target always working on non-stop mode, so
that e.g., we can send RSP packets to a remote target even while the
target is running -- can't do that in the all-stop RSP variant, by
design).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "set displaced off"
forced. The latter forces the new code paths whenever GDB needs to
step past a breakpoint.

Several misc cleanups that prepare the tail end of this function, the
part that actually re-resumes the stepped thread.
The most non-obvious would be the currently_stepping change, I guess.
That's because it isn't ever correct to pass step=1 to target_resume
on software single-step targets, and currently_stepping works at a
conceptual higher level, it returns step=true even on software step
targets. It doesn't really matter on hardware step targets, as the
breakpoint will be hit immediately, but it's just wrong on software
step targets. I tested it against my x86 software single-step branch,
and it indeed fixes failed assertions (that catch spurious
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP requests) there.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Use ecs->ptid instead

instead of resuming here. Use reset_ecs. Print the prev_pc and
the current stop_pc in log message. Clear trap_expected if the

do_target_resume.
The main motivation of this patch is sharing more code between the
proceed (starting the inferior for the first time) and keep_going
(restarting the inferior after handling an event) paths and using the
step_over_chain queue now embedded in the thread_info object for
pending in-line step-overs too (instead of just for displaced
stepping).
So this commit:
- splits out a new keep_going_pass_signal function out of keep_going
that is just like keep_going except for the bits that clear the
signal to pass if the signal is set to "handle nopass".
- makes proceed use keep_going too.
- Makes start_step_over use keep_going_pass_signal instead of lower
level displaced stepping things.
One user visible change: if inserting breakpoints while trying to
proceed fails, we now get:

In order to teach non-stop mode to do in-line step-overs (pause all
threads, remove breakpoint, single-step, reinsert breakpoint, restart
threads), we'll need to be able to queue in-line step over requests,
much like we queue displaced stepping (out-of-line) requests.
Actually, the queue should be the same -- threads wait for their turn
to step past something (breakpoint, watchpoint), doesn't matter what
technique we end up using when the step over actually starts.
I found that the queue management ends up simpler and more efficient
if embedded in the thread objects themselves. This commit converts
the existing displaced stepping queue to that. Later patches will
make the in-line step-overs code paths use it too.

Even though "target remote" supports target-async, the all-stop
target_wait implementation ignores TARGET_WNOHANG. If the core
happens to poll for events and we've already read the stop reply out
of the serial/socket, remote_wait_as hangs forever instead of
returning an indication that there are no events to process. This
can't happen currently, but later changes will trigger this.

Letting a "checkpoint" run to exit with "set non-stop on" behaves
differently compared to the default all-stop mode ("set non-stop
off").
Currently, in non-stop mode:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40086b: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c, line 28.
Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28

(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1 process 24948 "checkpoint" (running)
No selected thread. See `help thread'.
(gdb) c
The program is not being run.
(gdb)
Two issues above:
1. Thread 1 got stuck in "(running)" state (it isn't really running)
2. While checkpoints try to preserve the illusion that the thread is
still the same when the process exits, GDB switched to "No thread
selected." instead of staying with thread 1 selected.
Problem #1 is caused by handle_inferior_event and normal_stop not
considering that when a
TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED/TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED event is reported,
and the inferior is mourned, the target may still have execution.
Problem #2 is caused by the make_cleanup_restore_current_thread
cleanup installed by fetch_inferior_event not being able to find the
original thread 1's ptid in the thread list, thus not being able to
restore thread 1 as selected thread. The fix is to make the cleanup
installed by make_cleanup_restore_current_thread aware of thread ptid
changes, by installing a thread_ptid_changed observer that adjusts the
cleanup's data.
After the patch, we get the same in all-stop and non-stop modes:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Copy complete.
Deleting copy.
[Inferior 1 (process 25109) exited normally]

Turns out the whole checkpoints.exp file can run in non-stop mode
unmodified. I thought of moving most of the test file's contents to a
procedure that can be called twice, once in non-stop mode and another
in all-stop mode. But then, the test already takes close to 30
seconds to run on my machine, so I thought it'd be nicer to run
all-stop and non-stop mode in parallel. Thus I added a new
checkpoint-ns.exp file that just appends "set non-stop on" to GDBFLAGS
and sources checkpoint.exp.

On x86-solaris 10, we noticed that starting a program would sometimes
cause the debugger to crash. For instance:
% gdb a
(gdb) break adainit
Breakpoint 1 at 0x8051f03
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/a
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
zsh: 24398 segmentation fault (core dumped) /[...]/gdb a
The exception occurs in dtrace_process_dof_probe, while trying
to process each probe referenced by a DTRACE_DOF_SECT_TYPE_PROVIDER
DOF section from /lib/libc.so.1. For reference, the ELF section
in that shared library providing the DOF data has the following
characteristics:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
14 .SUNW_dof 0000109d 000b4398 000b4398 000b4398 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
The function dtrace_process_dof gets passed the contents of that
ELF section, which allows it to determine the location of the table
where all DOF sections are described. I dumped the contents of
each DOF section as seen by GDB, and it seemed to be plausible,
because the offset of each DOF section was pretty much equal to
the sum of the offset and size of the previous DOF section. Also,
the offset + sum of the last section corresponds to the size of
the .SUNW_dof section.
Things start to break down when processing one of the DOF sections
that has a type of DTRACE_DOF_SECT_TYPE_PROVIDER. It gets the contents
of this DOF section via:
struct dtrace_dof_provider *provider = (struct dtrace_dof_provider *)
DTRACE_DOF_PTR (dof, DOF_UINT (dof, section->dofs_offset));
Said more simply, the struct dtrace_dof_provider data is at
section->dofs_offset of the entire DOF contents. Given that
the contents of SECTION seemed to make sense, so far so good.
However, what SECTION tells us is that our DOF provider section
is 40 bytes long:
(gdb) print *section
$36 = {dofs_type = 15, dofs_align = 4, dofs_flags = 1,
dofs_entsize = 0, dofs_offset = 3264, dofs_size = 40}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But on the other hand:
(gdb) p sizeof (struct dtrace_dof_provider)
$54 = 44
In other words GDB expected a bigger DOF section and when we try to
fetch the value of the last field of that DOF section (dofpv_prenoffs)...
eoffsets_s = DTRACE_DOF_SECT (dof,
DOF_UINT (dof, provider->dofpv_prenoffs));
... we end up reading data that actually belongs to another DOF
section, and therefore irrelevant. This in turn means that the value
of eofftab gets incorrectly set, since it depends on eoffsets_s:
eofftab = DTRACE_DOF_PTR (dof, DOF_UINT (dof, eoffsets_s->dofs_offset));
This invalid address quickly catches up to us when we pass it to
dtrace_process_dof_probe shortly after, where we crash because
we try to subscript it:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x08155bba in dtrace_process_dof_probe ([...]) at [...]/dtrace-probe.c:378
378 = ((uint32_t *) eofftab)[...];
This patch fixes the issue by detecting provider DOF sections
that are smaller than expected, and discarding the DOF data.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dtrace-probe.c (dtrace_process_dof): Ignore the objfile's DOF
data if a DTRACE_DOF_SECT_TYPE_PROVIDER section is found to be
smaller than expected.
The get_frame_language feels like it would be more at home in frame.c
rather than in stack.c, while the declaration, that is currently in
language.h can be moved into frame.h to match.
A couple of new includes are added, but otherwise no substantial change
here.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stack.c (get_frame_language): Moved ...

As part of a drive to remove deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame, make
the get_frame_language function take a frame parameter. Given the name
of the function this actually seems to make a lot of sense.
The task of fetching a suitable frame is then passed to the calling
functions. For get_frame_language there are not many callers, these are
updated to get the selected frame in a suitable way.

This patch is mostly extracted from Pedro's C++ branch. It adds explicit
casts from integer to enum types, where it is really the intention to do
so. This could be because we are ...
* iterating on enum values (we need to iterate on an equivalent integer)
* converting from a value read from bytes (dwarf attribute, agent
expression opcode) to the equivalent enum
* reading the equivalent integer value from another language (Python/Guile)
An exception to that is the casts in regcache.c. It seems to me like
struct regcache's register_status field could be a pointer to an array of
enum register_status. Doing so would waste a bit of memory (4 bytes
used by the enum vs 1 byte used by the current signed char, for each
register). If we switch to C++11 one day, we can define the underlying
type of an enum type, so we could have the best of both worlds.

Running gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp.exp against
gdbserver sometimes FAILs because GDBserver drops the connection, but
the logs leave no clue on what the reason could be. Running manually
a few times, I saw the same:
$ ./gdbserver/gdbserver --multi :9999 testsuite/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp
Process testsuite/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp created; pid = 12766
Listening on port 9999
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
Listening on port 9999
Child exited with status 0
Child exited with status 0
What happened is that an exception escaped and gdbserver reopened the
connection, which led to that second "Listening on port 9999" output.
The error was a failure to access registers from a now-dead thread.
The exception probably shouldn't have escaped here, but meanwhile,
this at least makes the issue less mysterious.

While hacking on the fix for PR threads/18600 (Threads left stopped
after fork+thread spawn), I once saw its test (fork-plus-threads.exp)
FAIL against gdbserver because move_out_of_jump_pad_callback has a
gdb_breakpoint_here call, and the caller isn't making sure the current
thread points to the right thread. In the case I saw, the current
thread pointed to the wrong process, so gdb_breakpoint_here returned
the wrong answer. Unfortunately I didn't save logs. Still, seems
obvious enough and it should fix a potential occasional racy FAIL.

This adds a kfailed test that has the whole process exit just while
several threads continuously step over a breakpoint. Usually, the
process exits just while GDB or GDBserver is handling the breakpoint
hit. In other words, the process disappears while the event thread is
(ptrace-) stopped. This exposes several issues in GDB and GDBserver.
Errors, crashes, etc.
I fixed some of these issues recently, but there's a lot more to do.
It's a bit like playing whack-a-mole at the moment. You fix an issue,
which then exposes several others.

- When we're stopping and suspending threads, some thread may fork,
and we missed setting its suspend count to 1, like we do when a new
clone/thread is detected. When we next unsuspend threads, the fork
child's suspend count goes below 0, which is bogus and fails an
assertion.
- If a step-over is cancelled because a signal arrives, but then gdb
is not interested in the signal, we pass the signal straight back
to the inferior. However, we miss that we need to re-increment the
suspend counts of all other threads that had been paused for the
step-over. As a result, other threads indefinitely end up stuck
stopped.
- If a detach request comes in just while gdbserver is handling a
step-over (in the test at hand, this is GDB detaching the fork
child), gdbserver internal errors in stabilize_thread's helpers,
which assert that all thread's suspend counts are 0 (otherwise we
wouldn't be able to move threads out of the jump pads). The
suspend counts aren't 0 while a step-over is in progress, because
all threads but the one stepping past the breakpoint must remain
paused until the step-over finishes and the breakpoint can be
reinserted.
- Occasionally, we see "BAD - reinserting but not stepping." being
output (from within linux_resume_one_lwp_throw). That was because
GDB pokes memory while gdbserver is busy with a step-over, and that
suspends threads, and then re-resumes them with proceed_one_lwp,
which missed another reason to tell linux_resume_one_lwp that the
thread should be set back to stepping.
- In a couple places, we were resuming threads that are meant to be
suspended. E.g., when a vCont;c/s request for thread B comes in
just while gdbserver is stepping thread A past a breakpoint. The
resume for thread B must be deferred until the step-over finishes.
- The test runs with both "set detach-on-fork" on and off. When off,
it exercises the case of GDB detaching the fork child explicitly.
When on, it exercises the case of gdb resuming the child
explicitly. In the "off" case, gdb seems to exponentially become
slower as new inferiors are created. This is _very_ noticeable as
with only 100 inferiors gdb is crawling already, which makes the
test take quite a bit to run. For that reason, I've disabled the
"off" variant for now.

At https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00097.html, Joel
observed that trying to next/step a program on GNU/Linux sometimes
results in the following failed assertion:
% gdb -q .obj/gprof/main
(gdb) start
(gdb) n
(gdb) step
[...]/infrun.c:2391: internal-error:
resume: Assertion `sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0' failed.
What happened is that, during the "next" operation, GDB hit a
longjmp/exception/step-resume breakpoint but failed to see that this
breakpoint was set for a different thread than the one being stepped.
Joel's detailed analysis follows:
More precisely, at the end of the "start" command, we are stopped at
the start of function Main in main.adb; there are 4 threads in total,
and we are in the main thread (which is thread 1):
(gdb) info thread
Id Target Id Frame
4 Thread 0xb7a56ba0 (LWP 28379) 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
3 Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378) 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
2 Thread 0xb7e5eba0 (LWP 28377) 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
* 1 Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370) main () at /[...]/main.adb:57
All the logs below reference Thread ID/LWP, but it'll be easier to
talk about the threads by GDB thread number. For instance, thread 1
is LWP 28370 while thread 3 is LWP 28378. So, the explanations below
translate the LWPs into thread numbers.
Back to what happens while we are trying to "next' our program:
(gdb) n
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0xb7a56ba0 (LWP 28379))
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378))
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0xb7e5eba0 (LWP 28377))
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370))
infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffff, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT)
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370)] at 0x805451e
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun: 28370.28370.0 [Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370)],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x8054523
We've resumed thread 1 (LWP 28370), and received in return a signal
that the same thread stopped slightly further. It's still in the
range of instructions for the line of source we started the "next"
from, as evidenced by the following trace...
infrun: stepping inside range [0x805451e-0x8054531]
... and thus, we decide to continue stepping the same thread:
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370)] at 0x8054523
infrun: prepare_to_wait
That's when we get an event from a different thread (thread 3)...
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun: 28370.28378.0 [Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x80782d0
infrun: context switch
infrun: Switching context from Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370) to Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)
... which we find to be at the address where we set a breakpoint on
"the unwinder debug hook" (namely "_Unwind_DebugHook"). But GDB fails
to notice that the breakpoint was inserted for thread 1 only, and so
decides to handle it as...
infrun: BPSTAT_WHAT_SET_LONGJMP_RESUME
... and inserts a breakpoint at the corresponding resume address, as
evidenced by this the next log:
infrun: exception resume at 80542a2
That breakpoint seems innocent right now, but will play a role fairly
quickly. But for now, GDB has inserted the exception-resume
breakpoint, and needs to single-step thread 3 past the breakpoint it
just hit. Thus, it temporarily disables the exception breakpoint, and
requests a step of that thread:
infrun: skipping breakpoint: stepping past insn at: 0x80782d0
infrun: skipping breakpoint: stepping past insn at: 0x80782d0
infrun: skipping breakpoint: stepping past insn at: 0x80782d0
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=1, current thread [Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)] at 0x80782d0
infrun: prepare_to_wait
We then get a notification, still from thread 3, that it's now past
that breakpoint...
infrun: prepare_to_wait
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun: 28370.28378.0 [Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x8078424
... so we can resume what we were doing before, which is single-stepping
thread 1 until we get to a new line of code:
infrun: switching back to stepped thread
infrun: Switching context from Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378) to Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370)
infrun: expected thread still hasn't advanced
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370)] at 0x8054523
The "resume" log above shows that we're resuming thread 1 from where
we left off (0x8054523). We get one more stop at 0x8054529, which is
still inside our stepping range so we go again. That's when we get
the following event, from thread 3:
infrun: prepare_to_wait
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun: 28370.28378.0 [Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x80542a2
Now the stop_pc address is interesting, because it's the address of
"exception resume" breakpoint...
infrun: context switch
infrun: Switching context from Thread 0xb7ea18c0 (LWP 28370) to Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)
infrun: BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME
... and since that location is at a different line of code, this is
where it decides the "next" operation should stop:
infrun: stop_waiting
[Switching to Thread 0xb7c5aba0 (LWP 28378)]
0x080542a2 in inte_tache_rt.ttache_rt (
<_task>=0x80968ec <inte_tache_rt_inst.tache2>)
at /[...]/inte_tache_rt.adb:54
54 end loop;
However, what GDB should have noticed earlier that the exception
breakpoint we hit was for a different thread, thus should have
single-stepped that thread out of the breakpoint _without_ inserting
the exception-return breakpoint, and then resumed the single-stepping
of the initial thread (thread 1) until that thread stepped out of its
stepping range.
This is what this patch does, and after applying it, GDB now correctly
stops on the next line of code.
The patch adds a C++ test that exercises this, both for setjmp/longjmp
and exception breakpoints. With an unpatched GDB it shows:
(gdb) next

This patch removes get_thread_id from aarch64-linux-nat.c,
arm-linux-nat.c and xtensa-linux-nat.c.
get_thread_id was added in this commit below in 2000,
41c49b06c4https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2000-04/msg00398.html
which predates the ptid_t stuff added into GDB. Nowadays, lwpid of
inferior_ptid is only zero when the inferior is created (in
fork-child.c:fork_inferior) and its lwpid will be set after
linux_nat_wait_1 gets the first event. After that, lwpid of
inferior_ptid is not zero for linux-nat target, then we can use
ptid_get_lwp, so this function isn't needed anymore.
Even when GDB attaches to a process, the lwp of inferior_ptid
isn't zero, see linux-nat.c:linux_nat_attach,
/* The ptrace base target adds the main thread with (pid,0,0)
format. Decorate it with lwp info. */
ptid = ptid_build (ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid),
ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid),
0);
Note that linux_nat_xfer_partial shifts lwpid to pid for inferior_ptid
temperately for calling linux_ops->to_xfer_partial, but all the
affected functions in this patch are not called in
linux_ops->to_xfer_partial.
I think we can safely remove get_thread_id for all linux native targets.

native GDB and test it on xtensa-linux.

In multi-arch debugging, if GDB sends Z0 packet, GDBserver should be
able to do several things below:
- choose the right breakpoint instruction to insert according to the
information available, such as 'kind' in Z0 packet and address,
- choose the right breakpoint instruction to check memory writes and
validate inserted memory breakpoint
- be aware of different breakpoint instructions in $ARCH_breakpoint_at.
unfortunately GDBserver can't do them now. Although x86 GDBserver
supports multi-arch, it doesn't need to support them above because
breakpoint instruction on i686 and x86_64 is the same. However,
breakpoint instructions on aarch64 and arm (arm mode, thumb1, and thumb2)
are different.
I tried to teach aarch64 GDBserver backend to be really
multi-arch-capable in the following ways,
- linux_low_target return the right breakpoint instruction according to
the 'kind' in Z0 packet, and insert_memory_breakpoint can do the right
thing.
- once breakpoint is inserted, the breakpoint data and length is recorded
in each breakpoint object, so that validate_breakpoint and
check_mem_write can get the right breakpoint instruction from each
breakpoint object, rather than from global variable breakpoint_data.
- linux_low_target needs another hook function for pc increment after
hitting a breakpoint.
- let set_breakpoint_at, which is widely used for tracepoint, use the
'default' breakpoint instruction. We can always use aarch64 breakpoint
instruction since arm doesn't support tracepoint yet.
looks it is not a small piece of work, so I decide to disable Z0 packet
on multi-arch, which means aarch64 GDBserver only supports Z0 packet
if it is started to debug only one process (extended protocol is not
used) and process target description is 64-bit.

gdb/testsuite/
* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp: Report test as unsupported if
the target cannot stop at the permanent breakpoint.
These testcases are mocks of real programs.
GDB doesn't care what the programs do, they just have to look
and/or behave like the real program.
These testcases exercise gdb when debugging really large programs.
E.g., gmonster-1 has 10,000 CUs, and gmonster-2 has 1000 shared libs
(which is actually a little small, 5000 would be more accurate).

single-step.exp takes a while to run, and while that's not necessarily
bad, here it's because the default value of SINGLE_STEP_COUNT is 10,000.
We're not going to gain any more insight into perf issues
single-stepping (stepi) 10,000 times over 1,000 times,
so this patch changes the default to 1,000.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.perf/single-step.exp (SINGLE_STEP_COUNT): Change to 1000 from
10000.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (workers/%.worker, build-perf): New rule.
(GDB_PERFTEST_MODE): New variable.

(clean): Clean up gdb.perf parallel build subdirs.
* lib/build-piece.exp: New file.

* lib/cache.exp (gdb_do_cache): Call make_gdb_parallel_path.
This patch does two things.
1) Add support for multiple data points.
2) Move the "report" output from perftest.log to perftest.sum.
I want to record the raw data somewhere, and a bit of statistical analysis
(standard deviation left for another day), but I also don't want
it to clutter up the basic report.
This patch takes a cue from gdb.{sum,log} and does the same thing
with perftest.{sum,log}.
Ultimately, we'll probably want to emit raw data to csv files or some
such and then do post-processing passes on that.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/perftest/reporter.py (SUM_FILE_NAME): New global.
(LOG_FILE_NAME): New global.

As of commit a5fdf78a44, building GDB with
a GCC 4.1 host compiler fails with:
gdb/cp-namespace.c: In function 'cp_lookup_symbol_via_imports':
gdb/cp-namespace.c:482: warning: 'sym.block' may be used uninitialized in this function
Apparently, more recent compilers are able to deduce that no actual
uninitialized use of sym.block takes place, but GCC 4.1 isn't yet
able to do that.
Fixed by adding an explicit initalization.
gdb/
* cp-namespace.c (cp_lookup_symbol_via_imports): Fix uninitialized

The previous commit (Replace the block_found global with explicit

tested building GDB with --enable-targets=all... but buildbots did.
This adds the appropriate simple updates to fix the build.

As Pedro suggested on gdb-patches@ (see
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00714.html), this
change makes symbol lookup functions return a structure that includes
both the symbol found and the block in which it was found. This makes
it possible to get rid of the block_found global variable and thus makes
block hunting explicit.

The buildbots show that attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp is racy.
But after staring at debug logs and playing with SystemTap scripts for
a (long) while, I figured out that neither GDB, nor the kernel nor the
test's program itself are at fault.
The problem is simply that the testsuite machinery is currently
subject to PID-reuse races. The attach-many-short-lived-threads.c
test program just happens to be much more susceptible to trigger this
race because threads and processes share the same number space on
Linux, and the test spawns many many short lived threads in
succession, thus enlarging the race window a lot.
Part of the problem is that several tests spawn processes with "exec&"
(in order to test the "attach" command) , and then at the end of the
test, to make sure things are cleaned up, issue a 'remote_spawn "kill
-p $testpid"'. Since with tcl's "exec&", tcl itself is responsible
for reaping the process's exit status, when we go kill the process,
testpid may have already exited _and_ its status may have (and often
has) been reaped already. Thus it can happen that another process
meanwhile reuses $testpid, and that "kill" command kills the wrong
process... Frequently, that happens to be
attach-many-short-lived-thread, but this explains other test's races
as well.
In the attach-many-short-lived-threads test, it sometimes manifests
like this:
(gdb) file /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads
Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads...done.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: detach
GDB mishandles the latter (it should ignore ESRCH while detaching just
like when continuing), but that's another story.
The fix here is to change spawn_wait_for_attach to use Expect's
'spawn' command instead of Tcl's 'exec&' to spawn programs, because
with spawn we control when to wait for/reap the process. That allows
killing the process by PID without being subject to pid-reuse races,
because even if the process is already dead, the kernel won't reuse
the process's PID until the zombie is reaped.
The other part of the problem lies in DejaGnu itself, unfortunately.
I have occasionally seen tests (attach-many-short-lived-threads
included, but not only that one) die with a random inexplicable
SIGTERM too, and that too is caused by the same reason, except that in
that case, the rogue SIGTERM is sent from this bit in DejaGnu's remote.exp:
exec sh -c "exec > /dev/null 2>&1 && (kill -2 $pgid || kill -2 $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill $pgid || kill $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill -9 $pgid || kill -9 $pid) &"
...
catch "wait -i $shell_id"
Even if the program exits promptly, that whole cascade of kills
carries on in the background, thus potentially killing the poor
process that manages to reuse $pid...
I sent a fix for that to the DejaGnu list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00000.html
With both patches in place, I haven't seen
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp fail again.

All the "[Thread FOO] #NN stopped." above are bogus, as well as the
"Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.",
which is a consequence.
The problem is that when we intercept a fork event, we should report
the event for the parent, only, and leave the child stopped, but not
report its stop event. GDB later decides whether to follow the parent
or the child. But because handle_extended_wait does not set the
child's last_status.kind to TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, a
stop_all_threads/unstop_all_lwps sequence (e.g., from trying to access
memory) by mistake ends up queueing a SIGSTOP on the child, resuming
it, and then when that SIGSTOP is intercepted, because the LWP has
last_resume_kind set to resume_stop, gdbserver reports the stop to
GDB, as GDB_SIGNAL_0:

* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Set the child's last
reported status to TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED.
The new gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test exposes one more
problem. When one types "info inferiors" after running the program,
one see's a couple inferior left still, while there should only be
inferior #1 left. E.g.:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
4 process 8393 /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
2 process 8388 /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
* 1 <null> /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
(gdb) info threads
Calling prune_inferiors() manually at this point (from a top gdb) does
not remove them, because they still have inf->pid != 0 (while they
shouldn't). This suggests that we never mourned those inferiors.
Enabling logs (master + previous patch) we see:

Note the "Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 9508) exited." line.
That's this in wait_lwp:
/* Check if the thread has exited. */
if (WIFEXITED (status) || WIFSIGNALED (status))
{
thread_dead = 1;
if (debug_linux_nat)
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "WL: %s exited.\n",
target_pid_to_str (lp->ptid));
}
}
That was the leader thread reporting an exit, meaning the whole
process is gone. So the problem is that this code doesn't understand
that an WIFEXITED status of the leader LWP should be reported to
infrun as process exit.

* gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: Test that "info inferiors"
only shows inferior 1.
When a program forks and another process start threads while gdb is
handling the fork event, newly created threads are left stuck stopped
by gdb, even though gdb presents them as "running", to the user.
This can be seen with the test added by this patch. The test has the
inferior fork a certain number of times and waits for all children to
exit. Each fork child spawns a number of threads that do nothing and
joins them immediately. Normally, the program should run unimpeded
(from the point of view of the user) and exit very quickly. Without
this fix, it doesn't because of some threads left stopped by gdb, so
inferior 1 never exits.
The program triggers when a new clone thread is found while inside the
linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps call in linux-thread-db.c:
linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps ();
ALL_LWPS (lp)
if (ptid_get_pid (lp->ptid) == pid)
thread_from_lwp (lp->ptid);
linux_unstop_all_lwps ();
Within linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps, we reach
linux_handle_extended_wait with the "stopping" parameter set to 1, and
because of that we don't mark the new lwp as resumed. As consequence,
the subsequent resume_stopped_resumed_lwps, called from
linux_unstop_all_lwps, never resumes the new LWP.
There's lots of cruft in linux_handle_extended_wait that no longer
makes sense. On systems with CLONE events support, we don't rely on
libthread_db for thread listing anymore, so the code that preserves
stop_requested and the handling of last_resume_kind is all dead.
So the fix is to remove all that, and simply always mark the new LWP
as resumed, so that resume_stopped_resumed_lwps re-resumes it.

This patch removes the isize output argument from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at gdbarch hook. It was used to return the size
of the instruction that needs to be replaced when installing a fast
tracepoint. Instead of getting this value from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at hook, we can call the gdb_insn_length function.
If we do not do this, then architectures which do not have a restriction
on where to install the fast tracepoint will send uninitialized memory
off to GDBserver. See remote_download_tracepoint:
~~~
int isize;
if (gdbarch_fast_tracepoint_valid_at (target_gdbarch (),
tpaddr, &isize, NULL))
xsnprintf (buf + strlen (buf), BUF_SIZE - strlen (buf), ":F%x",
isize);
~~~
The default implementation of fast_tracepoint_valid_at will not set
isize resulting in uninitialized memory being sent. Later on, GDBserver
could use this information to compute a jump offset.

arm_hwcap is a global variable, and we should avoid using it as much

regcache->tdesc is a certain kind of target description. This is
what this patch does.

This patch cleans up the decoding functions using booleans when they can
decode two instructions. The boolean argument is used to know which of
the two instructions was decoded.
The instructions affected are BR/BLR, B/BL, CBZ/CBNZ and TBZ/TBNZ.
These arguments would be named after a named bit in the instruction
encoding, this patch renames them to 'is_XXX'. Furthermore, the
'unsigned' type would be used to describe a boolean while
aarch64_decode_cb would use 'int' (see the 'is64' argument). This patch
makes all booleans be 'int' and decoded bitfields be 'unsigned'.

Since Pedro's ptrace cleanups, the MIPS buildbot compilation fails.
Code in MIPS native uses ptrace with 3 arguments, where ptrace requires
4. When looking at the definition of ptrace in
/usr/include/sys/ptrace.h, it shows that it takes a variable number of
arguments. The wrapper macro in nat/gdb_ptrace.h takes a fixed number
of arguments (4). That would explain why it used to work and stopped.
I am pushing this as obvious, tell me if there is any problem.
I built-tested this with a MIPS toolchain (ct-ng), but I don't have any
setup to test it. At least it should put back the buildbot builder in a
better shape.

to terminal_is_inferior.

We see the following regressions in testing on x86_64-linux,
reverse-step^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaed26c0^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp: reverse-step into solib function one
when GDB reverse step into a function, GDB wants to skip prologue so
it requests TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read some code memory in
memory_xfer_partial_1. However in dcache_read_memory_partial, the object
becomes TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY
return ops->to_xfer_partial (ops, TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY, NULL,
myaddr, NULL, memaddr, len,
xfered_len);
in reverse debugging, ops->to_xfer_partial is record_full_core_xfer_partial
and it will return TARGET_XFER_E_IO because it can't find any records.
The test fails.
At this moment, the delegate relationship is like
dcache -> record-core -> core -> exec
and we want to GDB read memory across targets, which means if the
requested memory isn't found in record-core, GDB can read memory from
core, and exec even further if needed. I find raw_memory_xfer_partial
is exactly what I want.

* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Revert back to checking gdb,noinferiorio

This forces all tests that rely on stdio to be unbuffered, like
interrupt.exp was adjusted in 6f98576f.
To recap, in some scenarios, GDB or GDBserver can be spawned with
input _not_ connected to a tty, and then tests that rely on stdio fail
with timeouts, because the inferior's stdout and stderr streams end up
fully buffered. Calling gdb_unbuffer_output forces output to be
unbuffered.

which sends output through $gdb_spawn_id, vs native debugging with a

This one needed a larger revamp. The issue is that the "info

neither the breakpoint numbers match nor the "already hit N times"
output.
Address that by making the test restart gdb from scratch when

modernize a couple things here and there.

While running some regression tests, I noticed that the two Python
tests mentioned in the $SUBJECT contain non-unique names. This is a
violation of our guidelines:
<https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDBTestcaseCookbook#Make_sure_test_messages_are_unique>
And also makes things harder for BuildBot. So I hacked both testcases
and made every test name unique. I guess this could be considered an
obvious patch, but I decided to post it before pushing because others
may have different opinions about the names.
OK to apply?

* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Issue a "disconnect".
This patch updates various value handling functions to make them
consider the addressable memory unit size of the current architecture.
This allows to correctly extract and print values on architectures whose
addressable memory unit is not 8 bits.
The patch doesn't cover all the code that would ideally need to be
adjusted, only the code paths that we happen to use, plus a few obvious
ones. Specifically, those areas are not covered by this patch:
- Management of unavailable bits
- Bitfields
- C++ stuff
Regression-tested on x86-64 Ubuntu 14.04. I saw no related test result
change.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* value.c (get_value_arch): New function.
* value.h (get_value_arch): New declaration.
This patch tries to clean up a bit the blur around the length field in
struct type, regarding its use with architectures with non-8-bits
addressable memory. It clarifies that the field is expressed in host
bytes, which is what is the closest to the current reality.
It also introduces a new function to get the length of the type in
target addressable memory units.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (type_length_units): New function.
* gdbtypes.h (type_length_units): New declaration.
(struct type) <length>: Update comment.
Using gcc 5.2 (maybe other versions as well), building mi-pending.c gives
these warnings:
./gdb.mi/mi-pending.c: In function ‘thread_func’:
./gdb.mi/mi-pending.c:34:5: warning: ‘return’ with no value, in function returning non-void
return;
^
./gdb.mi/mi-pending.c:38:5: warning: ‘return’ with no value, in function returning non-void
return;
^
gdb_compile_pthreads assumes that the build was successful only if there
is no output. These warnings therefore make gdb_compile_pthreads think
that the build failed, and the test doesn't run.
The easy fix is to replace the "return" with "return NULL". I am
pushing this as obvious.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-pending.c (thread_func): Replace return with return
NULL.
I noticed there was an unexpected pass in mi-watch.exp when running on
x86_64. Doing a bit of archeology shows that the xfail was added by
4a543da. This particular test failed on the MIPS architecture, which
the original contributor was working with. Here is the thread:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-09/msg00151.html
Looking at the latest buildbot results for MIPS, it seems that it's also
an unexpected pass on that architecture. Therefore, I see no reason to
leave the xfail in place.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-watch.exp (test_watchpoint_triggering): Remove xfail.
GDB currently does not promptly quit after receiving a SIGTERM while no
proper target is active. This is because in handle_sigterm we currently
look at target_can_async_p to determine whether to asynchronously quit
GDB using an async signal handler or to asynchronously quit using the
quit flag. However, target_can_async_p is always false under the dummy
target, so under this target we always use the quit flag and not the
async signal handler to signal that GDB should quit. So GDB won't quit
until a code path that checks the quit flag is executed.
To fix this issue, this patch makes the SIGTERM handler no longer
inspect target_can_async_p, and instead makes the handler
unconditionally set the quit flag _and_ mark the corresponding async
signal handler, so that if the target is async (or if it's the dummy
target) then we will likely quit through the async signal handler, and
if it's not async then we will likely quit through the quit flag. This
redundant approach is similar to how we handle SIGINT.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* event-top.c (handle_sigterm): Don't inspect
target_can_async_p. Always set the quit flag and always mark
the async signal handler.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gdb-sigterm-2.exp: New test.
We don't use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR on aarch64-linux, so don't

I happen to see REMOTE_EXAMPLES isn't used anywhere, so this patch
removes it.
REMOTE_EXAMPLES was added in the following commit in 1991,
commit 86bbb439c8
Author: John Gilmore <gnu@cygnus>
Date: Fri May 3 19:57:13 1991 +0000
There should be a Makefile in the cvs main directory, configured
for "./config.gdb none", so that things like "make tags" and "make tar"
will work.
and it was used like:
TARFILES = ${TAGFILES_MAINDIR} ${OTHERS} ${REMOTE_EXAMPLES}
However TARFILES was removed by the change latter in 1994,
Tue Aug 16 15:24:03 1994 Jim Kingdon (kingdon@lioth.cygnus.com)
* symtab.c (decode_line_1): If funfirstline and we get a
non-LOC_BLOCK symbol (e.g. variable or type), then error().
* Makefile.in (TARFILES, NONSRC, SFILES_STAND, SFILES_KGDB):
Remove; unused.
Since then, REMOTE_EXAMPLES is not used any more.

When using GDB to debug an RX target using the GDB remote protocol,
using a Renesas supplied debug agent, I encountered the following
assertion error:
thread.c:85: internal-error: inferior_thread: Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) n
Command aborted.
This assertion error occurs due to the fact that the value associated
with inferior_ptid is not on the thread list.
The remote debug output (obtained with "set debug remote 1") is fairly
short, so I will include it up to the point where things go wrong -
which is somewhat before the assertion failure:
(gdb) target remote coyote.lan:61234

Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
Above is the trace starting from the invocation of "target remote"
through the call of get_current_thread() in remote_start_remote().
Below, I've pasted this line of code along with additional lines of
context. The test following the call is especially important to
understanding both the problem and my patch.
/* We have thread information; select the thread the target
says should be current. If we're reconnecting to a
multi-threaded program, this will ideally be the thread
that last reported an event before GDB disconnected. */
inferior_ptid = get_current_thread (wait_status);
if (ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
{
/* Odd... The target was able to list threads, but not
tell us which thread was current (no "thread"
register in T stop reply?). Just pick the first
thread in the thread list then. */
inferior_ptid = thread_list->ptid;
}
}
Prior to getting to the code pasted above, remote_start_remote()
made a call to target_update_thread_list(). This corresponds to the
following lines from the above trace:
Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: m1
Sending packet: $qsThreadInfo#c8...Packet received: l
Sending packet: $qAttached:a410#bf...Packet received: 0
Packet qAttached (query-attached) is supported
Once target_update_thread_list has completed, the thread list
contains a single entry: {pid = 42000, lwp = 1, tid = 0}.
remote_start_remote() then makes a call to set_continue_thread(),
accounting for this line of the trace:
Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received: OK
Finally, the call to get_current_thread() is responsible for the last
line of the trace that I provided above:
Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
get_current_thread() calls stop_reply_extract_thread() with the wait
status. This returns null_ptid.
get_current_thread() then calls remote_current_thread with a null
inferior_ptid. After the calls to putpkt() and getpkt(), rs->buf[0]
is 'Q', so read_ptid() is called and its result is returned.
The buffer passed to read_ptid() is " not supported". read_ptid ultimately
returns a ptid of {pid = 4200, lwp = 0, tid = 0}.
However, this thread is not on the thread list. As noted earlier, the
call to target_update_thread_list() had placed {pid = 42000, lwp = 1,
tid = 0} on the list. This is the only thread in the list.
When these calls ultimately return to remote_start_remote(),
inferior_ptid gets set to {pid = 4200, lwp = 0, tid = 0}, which
(again) is not on the thread list.
It appears to me that the string " not supported" is coming from the
debug agent. If so, it should be fixed, but I don't see a reason to
not consult the thread list in order to place a valid thread id in
inferior_ptid.
This (consultation of the thread list) is what is done when
inferior_ptid is null_ptid:
if (ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
{
/* Odd... The target was able to list threads, but not
tell us which thread was current (no "thread"
register in T stop reply?). Just pick the first
thread in the thread list then. */
inferior_ptid = thread_list->ptid;
}
My patch causes a null inferior_ptid to be returned by read_ptid when
no thread id is found in the response from the debug agent. This
return value ends up being returned by remote_current_thread() and
then by get_current_thread. The assignment then places this null
value into inferior_ptid. That, in turn, allows the ptid_equal test
(noted above) to fetch a valid thread from the thread list. I no
longer see the assertion failure due a good value (which is on the
thread list) being placed in inferior_ptid.
This patch also adds two log warnings that may be output when "set
debug remote 1" is used. When running against the Renesas debug agent
mentioned earlier, this is the relevant portion of the log output:
Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
warning: garbage in qC reply
warning: couldn't determine remote current thread; picking first in list.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (read_ptid): Return null_ptid when no thread id
is found.
(remote_current_thread): Add log warning for malformed
qC reply.
(remote_start_remote): Add log warning when current thread

This reverts commit b558ff043d.

The initial import commit failed to retain local changes made to
readline's configure.in (and the commit message erroneously stated that
there were no local changes that needed to be reapplied). Also the
import caused a couple of build errors and a scattering of testsuite
regressions throughout many arches. It's probably better to start over
with this import, hopefully more carefully next time.

This patch syncs our upstream copy of readline from version 6.2 to the
latest version, 7.0 alpha (released July 10 2015).
I essentially copied what was done the last time readline was synced,
when Jan updated to readline 6.2 in 2011:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-05/msg00003.html
Procedure:
1. I extracted the readline-7.0-alpha tarball on top of readline/.
2. I deleted all the new files under doc/ that were deliberately omitted
before.
3. I regenerated readline/configure and readline/examples/rlfe/configure
using autoconf 2.64. No other configure files need regenerating.
4. I updated the function gdb_printable_part in completer.c with a
trivial change made to the readline function it is based off of,
printable_part in readline/complete.c. There is more work to be done in
completer.c to sync it with readline/complete.c, but it is non-trivial
and should probably be done separately anyway.
Local patches that had to be reapplied:
None. readline 7.0 alpha contains all of our local readline
patches.
New files in readline/:
colors.{c,h}
examples/{hist_erasedups,hist_purgecmd,rl-callbacktest,rlbasic}.c
parse-colors.{c,h}
readline.pc.in
configure.ac
Deleted files in readline/:
configure.in
Regressions:
After the sync there is one testsuite regression, the test
"signal SIGINT" in gdb.gdb/selftest.exp which now FAILs. Previously,
the readline 6.2 SIGINT handler would temporarily reinstall the
underlying application's SIGINT handler and immediately re-raise SIGINT
so that the orginal handler gets invoked. But now (since readline 6.3)
its SIGINT handler does not re-raise SIGINT or directly invoke the
original handler; it now sets a flag marking that SIGINT was raised, and
waits until readline explicitly has control to call the application's
SIGINT handler. Anyway, because SIGINT is no longer re-raised from
within readline's SIGINT handler, doing "signal SIGINT" with a stopped
inferior gdb process will no longer resume and then immediately stop the
process (since there is no 2nd SIGINT to immediately catch). Instead,
the inferior gdb process will now just print "Quit" and continue to run.
So with this commit, this particular test case is adjusted to reflect
this change in behavior (we now have to send a 2nd SIGINT manually to
stop it).
Aside from this one testsuite regression, I personally noticed no
regression in user-visible behavior. Though I only tested on x86_64
and on i686 Debian Stretch.
Getting this kind of change in at the start of the GDB 7.11 development
cycle will allow us to get a lot of passive testing from developers and
from bleeding-edge users.

The gdb_skip_xml_test procedure explicitly says that it cannot be

I have patches that:
1 - make the CLI print stop info from a normal_stop observer, like MI
does.
2 - happen to change the order in which the Python and CLI/TUI
normal_stop observers are installed.
With those in place, py-events.exp regresses like shown below [1],
because the Python stop events are output before CLI prints stop info,
instead of after, and the test doesn't expect that.
With the same Python hooks, the order in which MI and Python events is
emited today is already undefined, because MI also uses the
normal_stop observer for output. I see no reason that we should in
general define the order observers, interpreters and scripting
languages get their turn at being notified of these events. So this
patch makes the test cope with Python->CLI output order too.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

* fork-child.c (fork_inferior): Print argv[0] instead of exec_file.
Building in C++ mode issues ~40 warnings like this:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c: In function ‘int linux_handle_extended_wait(lwp_info*, int, int)’:
../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2016:51: warning: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘__ptrace_request’ [-fpermissive]
ptrace (PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG, pid, 0, &new_pid);
The issue is that in glibc, ptrace's first parameter is an enum.
That's not a problem if we pick the PTRACE_XXX requests from
sys/ptrace.h, as those will be values of the corresponding enum.
However, we have fallback definitions for PTRACE_XXX symbols when the
system headers miss them (such as PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG above), and those
are plain integer constants. E.g., nat/linux-ptrace.h:
#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
One idea would be to fix this by defining those fallbacks like:
-#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG 0x4201
+#define PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG ((enum __ptrace_request) 0x4201)
However, while glibc's ptrace uses enum __ptrace_request for first
parameter:
extern long int ptrace (enum __ptrace_request __request, ...) __THROW;
other libc's, like e.g., Android's bionic do not -- in that case, the
first parameter is int:
long ptrace(int request, pid_t pid, void * addr, void * data);
So the fix I came up is to make configure/ptrace.m4 also detect the
type of the ptrace's first parameter and defin PTRACE_TYPE_ARG1, as
already does the for parameters 3-4, and then simply wrap ptrace with
a macro that casts the first argument to the detected type. (I'm
leaving adding a nicer wrapper for when we drop building in C).
While this adds the wrapper, GNU/Linux files won't use it until the
next patch, which makes all native GNU/Linux files include
gdb_ptrace.h.

Nowadays, when --wrapper is used, GDBserver skips extra traps/stops
in the wrapper program, and stops at the first instruction of the
program to be debugged. However, GDBserver created target description
in the first stop of inferior, and the executable of the inferior
is the wrapper program rather than the program to be debugged. In
this way, the target description can be wrong if the architectures
of wrapper program and program to be debugged are different. This
is shown by some fails in gdb.server/wrapper.exp on buildbot.
We are testing i686-linux GDB (Fedora-i686) on an x86_64-linux box
(fedora-x86-64-4) in buildbot, such configuration causes fails in
gdb.server/wrapper.exp like this:
spawn /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver --once --wrapper env TEST=1 -- :2346 /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/wrapper/wrapper

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/wrapper.exp: setting breakpoint at marker
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg01541.html
In this case, program to be debugged ("wrapper") is 32-bit but wrapper
program ("/usr/bin/env") is 64-bit, so GDBserver gets the 64-bit
target description instead of 32-bit.
The root cause of this problem is that GDBserver creates target
description too early, and the rationale of fix could be creating
target description once the GDBserver skips extra traps and inferior
stops at the first instruction of the program we want to debug. IOW,
when GDBserver skips extra traps, the inferior's tdesc is NULL, and
mywait and its callees shouldn't use inferior's tdesc, so in this
patch, we skip code that requires register access, see changes in
linux_resume_one_lwp_throw and need_step_over_p.
In linux_low_filter_event, if target description isn't initialised and
GDBserver attached the process, we create target description immediately,
because GDBserver don't have to skip extra traps for attach, IOW, it
makes no sense to use --attach and --wrapper together. Otherwise, the
process is launched by GDBserver, we keep the status pending, and return.
After GDBserver skipped extra traps in start_inferior, we call a
target_ops hook arch_setup to initialise target description there.
gdb/gdbserver:
2015-07-24 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-low.c (linux_arch_setup): New function.
(linux_low_filter_event): If proc->tdesc is NULL and
proc->attached is true, call the_low_target.arch_setup.
Otherwise, keep status pending, and return.
(linux_resume_one_lwp_throw): Don't call get_pc if
thread->while_stepping isn't NULL. Don't call
get_thread_regcache if proc->tdesc is NULL.
(need_step_over_p): Return 0 if proc->tdesc is NULL.
(linux_target_ops): Install arch_setup.

* nto-low.c (nto_target_ops): Update.
* spu-low.c (spu_target_ops): Update.
* win32-low.c (win32_target_ops): Update.
Nowadays, we set proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside linux_add_process,
and new_inferior is used as a flag to initialise target description later.
linux_add_process is used for the three cases, fork/vfork event
(handle_extended_wait), run the program (linux_create_inferior), and
attach to the process (linux_attach). In the first case, the child's
target description is copied from parent's, so we don't need to initialise
target description again later, which means we don't need to set
proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 in this case. For the rest of two cases,
we need this flag.
This patch move the code setting proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside
linux_add_process to linux_create_inferior and linux_attach. No
functionality is changed.

* server.c (start_inferior): Code refactor.
My patch series will affect the code starting inferior in GDBserver
(callees of start_inferior), so we need tests to cover how
start_inferior is used in different cases.
In server.c:process_serial_event, start_inferior is used when
GBDserver receives 'R' packet, and this patch is to add a test
for this path, and see how --wrapper option works when the process
is restarted.

When a dynamic array type contains a typedef-wrapped array, an assertion
failure occurs during type resolution. This is what happens in the
following Ada case:
type Rec_Type is record
I : Integer;
B : Boolean;
end record;
type Vec_Type is array (1 .. 4) of Rec_Type;
type Array_Type is array (Positive range <>) of Vec_Type;
If users try to print or even pass to an inferior call a variable A of
type Array_Type, GDB will raise an error:
(gdb) print a
../../src/gdb/gdbtypes.c:1807: internal-error:
resolve_dynamic_array: Assertion `TYPE_CODE (type) ==
TYPE_CODE_ARRAY' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
What happens is that during dynamic array type resolution, we first peel
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF layers wrapping the array element type and check if
its type is itself TYPE_CODE_ARRAY. If it is, we pass the
typedef-wrapped type to a recursive call to resolve_dynamic_array
whereas this function expects only TYPE_CODE_ARRAY types.
This patch makes it pass the peeled type to the recursive call so that
type resolution can continue smoothly.

* gdbtypes.c (resolve_dynamic_array): Pass the peeled element
type to the recursive call instead of the original (maybe
TYPE_CODE_TYPEDEF) type.

Nowadays aarch64_linux_can_use_hw_breakpoint always return one, but it
can be smarter, say, if GDB knows target doesn't support HW watchpoint

There are also some duplication on getting HW watchpoint/breakpoint

Since multi_line was moved to gdb.exp in a slightly stricter form,
The gdb.ada/info_exc.exp:info exceptions test has been failing.
This is because it now expects a new-line sequence at the end of
each argument given to multi_line, including ".*". But the intent
when writing the test was to signify "could-be-nothing-at-all".
As a result, the test fails on x86_64-linux with a runtime built as
recommended, because of that
extra new-line sequence.

GDB already allows statically initialized variables, located in

address 0 as well.

When I look at test fails related to watchpoint on aarch64-linux,
I find there are some code duplicates between GDB and GDBserver.
This patch is to move some of them to a nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.{h,c}.
The only change I do is about the dr_changed_t typedef, which was
ULONGEST in GDB and 'unsigned long long' in GDBserver. Each bit
of dr_changed_t represents a status of each HW breakpoint or
watchpoint register, and the max number of HW breakpoint or watchpoint
registers is 16, so the width of 'unsigned long long' is sufficient.

aarch64_linux_get_debug_reg_capacity is called by
aarch64_linux_child_post_startup_inferior, and argument ptid is created in
inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_create_inferior,
/* On some targets, there must be some explicit actions taken after
the inferior has been started up. */
target_post_startup_inferior (pid_to_ptid (pid));
so in aarch64_linux_get_debug_reg_capacity, we can get pid by ptid_get_pid,
and don't need to use get_thread_id.

We don't need to initialise ptid in add_current_inferior_and_thread,
so this patch also removes the ptid initialisation.

This new test fails on i686 buildbot slaves,

is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-biarch-core.exp: core-file
There are two problems:
(1) The testcase did not really test if elf64-i386 is supported by GDB (BFD).
That was OK for a Fedora testcase but I forgot about it when submitting it
upstream.
I haven't really verified if the GNU target is elf64-little but it seems so,
no other one seems suitable from:
elf32-x86-64
elf64-big
elf64-k1om
elf64-l1om
elf64-little
elf64-x86-64
pei-x86-64
(2) The output of the "core-file" command itself can be arbitrary as the
elf64-i386 file with x86_64 registers is really broken; but that does not
matter much, important is the following test whether core file memory is
readable.
./configure --enable-64-bit-bfd
(gdb) core-file /home/jkratoch/redhat/gdb-test-build32-plus64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/i386-biarch-core.core^M

I do not know much dejagnu but I expect 'istarget' tests against the site.exp
'target_triplet' content which is set to the primary GDB target
(--target=...).
GDB is normally never configured for primary target elf64-i386, I think BFD
does not know such explicit target, it gets recognized as elf64-little.
In fact many testfiles of the GDB testsuite are wrong as they require
'istarget' (therefore primary GDB target) even for just loading arch specific
files which would be sufficient with secondary target (--enable-targets=...)
support.
This my new patch removes this 'istarget' check as it is IMO unrelated to what
we need to test. Although you are right we do 'x/i' and test for 'hlt' so
I think we should test also for available 'set architecture i386'.
We could also test by 'x/bx' instead of 'x/i' to avoid such additional
test/requirement.
This testcase comes from a different bug from 2009:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457187http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gdb.git/commit/?id=94cd124608bf0dd359cb48a710800d72c21b30c3
That bug has been fixed in the meantime but the same testcase was reproducing
this new different bug - internal error regression - so I submitted it.
We can remove the "x/bx $address" test but it was useful for the previous bug
from 2009 as that time the internal error regression did not happen, just the
core file was not recognized (which would not be detected by the proposed
ignoring of the "core-file" command output) and so the core file was not
available. That can be tested by the "x/bx $address" test.

2015-07-16 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.arch/i386-biarch-core.exp: Replace istarget
by "complete set gnutarget". Remove expectation for the "core-file"
command.
I noticed two failure in gdb.trace/mi-trace-frame-collected.exp:
FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-trace-frame-collected.exp: live:
-trace-frame-collected (register)
FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-trace-frame-collected.exp: tfile:
-trace-frame-collected (register)
In these cases, we are not collecting registers so the MI command
-trace-frame-collected should only give us the value of the PC.
However, it also gives us all of the single precision pseudo registers,
initialized with 0x0.
We can reproduce this error by simply issuing the
'maint print cooked-register' when no inferior is connected:
~~~

It turns out GDB does not check if S registers are valid before returning
a value for them. It should return <unavailable> in this case.

This exercises the case of the inferior disappearing while GDB is

When I examine the buildbot fails, I see this fail on

the test expects to see the period at the end of the error message,
gdb_test "attach $testpid" "Attaching to process $testpid\r\n.*: No such file or directory\\." "attach"
however the period is missing when running with native-extended-gdbserver.

perror_with_name [1] append a period at the end of error message,

This change causes the prologue scanner and the frame type scanner in

from a cache maintained by GDB.

../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/event-loop.c:205:19: warning: invalid conversion from ‘gdb_client_data {aka void*}’ to ‘void**’ [-fpermissive]
event_ptr->data = data;
^
This works in practice because gdb_client_data is a pointer already
(hence in C we get an implicit conversion), and nothing deferences the
pointer. It's passed from client at event registration/creation time,
only to pass straight back to client callback.
Well, that and nothing in gdbserver uses the event data anyway.

In parse_scrolling_args it is possible for a string copy to leak if an

Since the new KFAILs/KPASSs for the infcall tests on x86 and x86_64
targets generated unnecessary noise, this change skips them with
UNSUPPORTED instead.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: On x86 and x86_64 targets, skip the
infcall tests instead of setting up for KFAIL.
When navigating in the recorded execution trace via "record goto", we do not
set stop_pc. This may trigger an internal error in infrun.c when stepping
from that location. Set it.

This happens because there's a breakpoint at PC when the "next"
is issued, so that breapoint should be immediately stepped over.
That should have been detected/done by proceed, here:
if (addr == (CORE_ADDR) -1)
{
if (pc == stop_pc
&& breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == ordinary_breakpoint_here
&& execution_direction != EXEC_REVERSE)
/* There is a breakpoint at the address we will resume at,
step one instruction before inserting breakpoints so that
we do not stop right away (and report a second hit at this
breakpoint).
Note, we don't do this in reverse, because we won't
actually be executing the breakpoint insn anyway.
We'll be (un-)executing the previous instruction. */
tp->stepping_over_breakpoint = 1;
But since stop_pc was stale, the pc == stop_pc check failed, and left the
breakpont at PC inserted.

This patch adds support for AArch64 to the gdb.trace testsuite.
Note that it does not add support for testing fast tracepoint as it
isn't supported. Therefore the test cases with inline assembly are not
ported in this patch, as we do not know what the conditions for
inserting a fast tracepoint on AArch64 would be.

This patch implements the 'collect $_ret' command to collect the return
address of a function in a tracepoint. It marks the LR register for
collection.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c: Add ax.h and ax-gdb.h includes.
(aarch64_gen_return_address): New function.
(aarch64_gdbarch_init): Hook it.
The stub unwinder is used on AArch64 if the target's memory is not
readable at the current PC. For example, the user could try to call at
an invalid address such as 0x0, as covered in the gdb.base/signull.exp
test case. Many GDB ports use a similar unwinder to handle this case
too.
If we purposely kill the inferior before examining the trace then we get
the following issue:
~~~
...
(gdb) trace f
Tracepoint 3 at 0x7fb7fc28c0
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) continue
...
(gdb) tstop
(gdb) tsave /tmp/trace
(gdb) kill

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 3
#-1 0x0000007fb7fc28c0 in f () ...

This patch teaches the stub unwinder to report to the core frame code
with UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE when either the stack pointer of the return
address are unavailable to read from the target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_make_stub_cache): Set available_p and
swallow NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR.
(aarch64_stub_this_id): Call frame_id_build_unavailable_stack if
available_p is not set.
(aarch64_stub_frame_unwind_stop_reason): New function.
(aarch64_stub_unwind): Install it.
Without debugging information, we have the following issue when
examining a trace buffer:
~~~
...
(gdb) trace f
Tracepoint 3 at 0x7fb7fc28c0
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) continue
...
(gdb) tstop
(gdb) tfind start
Register 31 is not available.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 3
#-1 0x0000007fb7fc28c0 in f () ...
^^^
~~~
The reason for this is that the target's stack pointer is unavailable
when examining the trace buffer. What we are seeing is due to the
'tfind' command creating a sentinel frame and unwinding it. If an
exception is thrown, we are left with the sentinel frame being displayed
at level #-1. The exception is thrown when the prologue unwinder tries
to read the stack pointer to construct an ID for the frame.
This patch fixes this by making the prologue unwinder catch
NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR exceptions when either registers or memory is
unreadable and report back to the frame core code with
UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_prologue_cache) <available_p>: New
field.
(aarch64_make_prologue_cache_1): New function, factored out from
aarch64_make_prologue_cache. Do not allocate cache. Set
available_p.
(aarch64_make_prologue_cache): Reimplement wrapping
aarch64_make_prologue_cache_1, and swallowing
NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR.
(aarch64_prologue_frame_unwind_stop_reason): New function.
Return UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE if available_p is not set.
(aarch64_prologue_unwind): Install it.

checks into aarch64_prologue_frame_unwind_stop_reason. Call
frame_id_build_unavailable_stack if available_p is not set.
This patch moves the address of the start of a function (func) and the
address from which it was called (prev_pc) into aarch64_prologue_cache.
The idea is to keep accesses to the inferior's registers into
aarch64_make_prologue_cache and aarch64_make_stub_cache.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_prologue_cache) <func, prev_pc>: New
fields.
(aarch64_scan_prologue): Set prev_pc.

(aarch64_prologue_this_id): Remove local variables id, pc and
func. Read prev_pc and func from cache.
(aarch64_stub_this_id): Read prev_pc from cache.
We would previously have to make sure the frame cache was not already
created before calling aarch64_make_stub_cache. This patch makes this
function check it so the caller does not need to do so.
gdb/ChangeLog:

Hi,
I happen to read the comments in regs_info below,
struct regs_info
{
...
/* Info used when accessing registers with PTRACE_PEEKUSER /
PTRACE_POKEUSER. This can be NULL if all registers are
transferred with regsets .*/
struct usrregs_info *usrregs;
that usrregs can be NULL if all registers are transferred with
regsets, which is exactly what aarch64-linux does. This patch
is to set usrregs to NULL in regs_info and remove
aarch64_usrregs_info and aarch64_regmap.
gdb/gdbserver:
2015-07-09 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_regmap): Remove.
(aarch64_usrregs_info): Remove.

When deleting an inferior, delete the associated program space as well
if it becomes unused. This replaces the "pruning" approach, with which
you could forget to call prune_program_spaces (as seen, with the
-remove-inferior command, see [1]).
This allows to remove the prune_program_spaces function. At the same
time, I was able to clean up the delete_inferior* family:
- delete_inferior is unused
- delete_inferior_silent is only used in monitor_close, but is replaced
with discard_all_inferiors [2], so it becomes unused
- All remaining calls to delete_inferior_1 are with silent=1, so the
parameter is removed
- delete_inferior_1 is renamed to delete_inferior
I renamed pspace_empty_p to program_space_empty_p. I prefer if the
"exported" functions have a more explicit and standard name.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.10.

The documentation for the 'frame' command has gotten a little out of

longer relevant.
This commit removes the old details that no longer apply, and tries to
expand the existing text a little to make the usage clearer for some
cases.

delete_inferior_silent and delete_inferior were unused, which allowed
renaming delete_inferior_1 to delete_inferior. Also, since all calls to
it were with silent=1, I removed that parameter completely.
I renamed pspace_empty_p to program_space_empty_p. I prefer if the
"exported" functions have a more explicit and standard name.
