This reverts commit 07293be448, as it
causes an unintended change of behavior with GDB/MI's =library-loaded
events: The host-name="<path>" part of the event is now showing the
target-side path instead of the host-side path.
This revert affects Darwin and AIX systems, however, where the BFD
is either artificial or icomplete, leading to the outputt of
"info shared" not containing the information we'd like. For instance,
on Darwin, we would see:
(top-gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
0x00007fff8d060de4 0x00007fff8d09ce1f Yes (*) i386:x86-64
0x00007fff8af08b10 0x00007fff8b1c6f73 Yes (*) i386:x86-64
To compensate for that, we overwrite the filename of the associated bfd.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Revert the following commit:
* solib.c (solib_map_sections): Remove code overwriting
SO->SO_NAME with the bfd's filename.
Make the following changes required after the revert above:
* solib-aix.c (solib_aix_bfd_open): Set the filename of the
returned bfd to a copy of the synthetic pathname.
* solib-darwin.c (darwin_bfd_open): Set the filename of the
returned bfd to a copy of PATHNAME.
This patch add a perf test case on skip-prologue by inserting
breakpoints on two functions many times, in order to exercise
skip-prologue.

This is the gdbserver-equivalent of the change made in GDB to handle
the case, in x64 windows version 2012, where the kernel produces
a LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT where the name of the associated DLL cannot
be determined at that time, and thus has to be processed later.
The visible symptom is that ntdll.dll is missing from the list of
shared libraries known to be mapped by the inferior, with other
side-effects such as failure to unwind through code provided by
that DLL (such as exception handling routines).
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (safe-ctype.o, lbasename.o): New rules.
* configure.srv: Add safe-ctype.o and lbasename.o to srv_tgtobj
for all targets that use win32-low.c.
* win32-low.c (win32_ensure_ntdll_loaded): New function.
(do_initial_child_stuff): Add call to win32_ensure_ntdll_loaded.
This is a preparatory patch that achieves two goals:
. Makes the initial event handling more similar to GDB's;
. Opens the door for implementing post-inititial-handling
operations.
At the moment, this is only done on Windows, where the
post-initial-handling is going to be needed (in the context of
Windows 2012). And because we're close to creating the gdb 7.7
branch, making that change for all platforms is a little more
risk that we'd like. So the change is currently implemented
on Windows.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* target.c (mywait): Set OURSTATUS->KIND to TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
if equal to TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED.
* win32-low.c (cached_status): New static global.
(win32_wait): Add declaration.
(do_initial_child_stuff): Flush all initial pending debug events
up to the initial breakpoint.
(win32_wait): If CACHED_STATUS was set, return that instead
of doing a real wait. Remove the code resuming the execution
of the inferior after receiving a TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED event
during the initial phase. Also remove the code changing
OURSTATUS->KIND from TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED to
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED.
(OPTION_INTR_NOPS): Define.
(gen_interrupt_nops): Default to FALSE.
(md_parse_opton): Add support for OPTION_INTR_NOPS.
(md_longopts): Add -mn.
(md_show_usage): Add -mn.
(msp430_operands): Generate NOPs for all MCUs not just 430Xv2.
* doc/c-msp430.c: Document -mn.
This function has the following code:
elt_type = type;
for (i = n; i > 1; i--)
elt_type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
For multi-dimension arrays, the code above tries to find the array
type corresponding to the dimension we're trying to inspect.
The problem is that, past the second dimension, the loop does
nothing other than repeat the first iteration. There is a little
thinko where it got the TYPE_TARGET_TYPE of TYPE instead of ELT_TYPE!
To my surprise, I was unable to produce an Ada exemple that demonstrated
the problem. That's because the examples I created all trigger a parallel
___XA type which we then use in place of the ELT_TYPE in order to
determine the bounds - see the code that immediately follows our
loop above:
index_type_desc = ada_find_parallel_type (type, "___XA");
ada_fixup_array_indexes_type (index_type_desc);
if (index_type_desc != NULL)
[...]
So, in order to avoid depending on an Ada example where the compiler
can potentially decide one way or the other, I decided to use an
artificial example, written in C. With ...
int multi[1][2][3];
... forcing the language to Ada, and trying to print the 'last,
we get:
(gdb) p multi'last(1)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p multi'last(2)
$2 = 1
(gdb) p multi'last(3)
$3 = 1 <<<--- This should be 2!
Additionally, I noticed that a couple of check_typedef's were missing.
This patch adds them. And since the variable in question only gets
used within an "else" block, I moved the variable declaration and
use inside that block - making it clear what the scope of the variable
is.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Move the declaration
and assignment of variable "elt_type" inside the else block
where it is used. Add two missing check_typedef calls.
Fix bug where we got TYPE's TYPE_TARGET_TYPE, where in fact
we really wanted to get ELT_TYPE's TYPE_TARGET_TYPE.

I have a case that could use an exception for "unsupported feature".
I found UNSUPPORTED_ERROR, but looking deeper, I think as is, reusing
it for other things would be fragile. E.g., if the Python script
sourced by source_script_from_stream triggers any other missing
functionality that would result in UNSUPPORTED_ERROR being propagated
out to source_script_from_stream, that would confuse the error for
Python not being built into GDB.
This patch thus redoes things a little. Instead of using an exception
for the "No Python" scenario, check whether Python is configured in
before actually trying to source the file. It adds a new function
instead of using #ifdef HAVE_PYTHON directly, as that is better at
avoiding bitrot, as both Python and !Python paths are visible to the
compiler this way.
Tested on Fedora 17, with and without Python.

This patch sanitizes the access to gdbarch made by various functions of
the SDT probe API. Before this patch, gdbarch was being accessed via
the probe's objfile; however, this proved to cause a bug on 32-bit ARM
targets because during the parsing of the probe's arguments the code
needed to access some pseudo-registers of the architecture, and this
information is not fully correct on the objfile's gdbarch.
Basically, the approach taken was to instead pass the current/selected
frame to the parsing and evaluation functions, so that they can extract
the gdbarch directly from the frame. It solved the ARM bug reported
above, and also contributed to make the API cleaner.
Tested on x86_64 and 32-bit ARM.

GDB is able to cache memory accesses requested in target_read_code,
so target_read_code is more efficient than general target_read_memory.
This patch uses target_read_code and its variants to read target
memory in the functions related to i386_skip_prologue. It improves
the performance when doing 'b foo' (foo is a function) in remote
debugging.
Nowadays, when we set a breakpoint on function f1, GDB will fetch the
code in f1 to determine the start of the function body (say skip the
prologue), it requests read from target many times. With this patch
applied, the number of RSP 'm' packets are reduced.

This helps with the following issue: Given an Ada program defining
a global variable:
package Pck is
Watch : Integer := 1974;
end Pck;
When printing the address of this variable, GDB also tries to print
the associated symbol name:
(gdb) p watch'address
$1 = (access integer) 0x6139d8 <pck__watch>
^^
||
The problem is that GDB prints the variable's linkage name, instead
of its natural name. This is because the language of the associated
minimal symbol never really gets set.
This patch adds handling for Ada symbols in symbol_find_demangled_name.
After this patch, we now get:
(gdb) p watch'address
$1 = (access integer) 0x6139d8 <pck.watch>

We observed on Windows 2012 that we were unable to unwind past
exception handlers. For instance, with any Ada program raising
an exception that does not get handled:
% gnatmake -g a -bargs -shared
% gdb a
(gdb) start
(gdb) catch exception unhandled
Catchpoint 2: unhandled Ada exceptions
(gdb) c
Catchpoint 2, unhandled CONSTRAINT_ERROR at <__gnat_unhandled_exception> (
e=0x645ff820 <constraint_error>) at s-excdeb.adb:53
53 s-excdeb.adb: No such file or directory.
At this point, we can already see that something went wrong, since
the frame selected by the debugger corresponds to a runtime function
rather than the function in the user code that caused the exception
to be raised (in our case procedure A).
This is further confirmed by the fact that we are unable to unwind
all the way to procedure A:
(gdb) bt

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
It turns out that the unwinder has been doing its job flawlessly
up until frame #5. The address in frame #5 is correct, but GDB
is not able to associate it with any symbol or unwind record.
And this is because this address is inside ntdll.dll, and when
we received the LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT for that DLL, the system
was not able to tell us the name of the library, thus causing us
to silently ignoring the event. Because GDB does not know about
ntdll.dll, it is unable to access the unwind information from it.
And because the function at that address does not use a frame
pointer, the unwinding becomes impossible.
This patch helps recovering ntdll.dll at the end of the "run/attach"
phase, simply by trying to locate that specific DLL again.
In terms of our medium to long term planning, it seems to me that
we should be able to simplify the code by ignoring LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT
during the startup phase, and modify windows_ensure_ntdll_loaded
to then detect and report all shared libraries after we've finished
inferior creation. But for a change just before 7.7 branch creation,
I thought it was safest to just handle ntdll.dll specifically. This
is less intrusive, and ntdll is the only DLL affected by the problem
I know so far.
