We only support tracepoint for aarch64. Although arm program can run
on aarch64, GDBserver doesn't support tracepoint for it.

* linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_supports_tracepoints): Return 0
if current_thread is 32 bit.
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.

* infcmd.c (attach_command): Move ARGS_CHAIN cleanup after last ARGS
use.
When using run_dump_test with the map option to compare the linker map
file produced, no additional dump program should be required. A dump
program can still be given if needed, but leaving it off will no longer
produce an error.
ld/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* ld/ld-lib.exp (run_dump_test): When using the map option, no
program is required.
The run_dump_test mechanism supports options error and warning, which
allow regexp to be specified within the test file, these regexp are
matched against the stderr output from the linker.
Similar dump test style functions for gas and gdb also support file
based matching versions of these options; the patterns are placed into a
file which the test driver then references. It is sometimes clearer,
when the pattern to be matched spans multiple lines if the patterns can
be placed into a separate file.
This patch adds new options error_output and warning_output for the
linker run_dump_test function. These new options take a filename
parameter, this file is then used (with regexp_diff) to compare against
the linker output.
ld/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* ld/ld-lib.exp (run_dump_test): Add error_output and
warning_output options.
Add a new command line option '--require-defined' to the linker. This
option operates identically to the '--undefined' option, except that if
the symbol is not defined in the final output file then the linker will
exit with an error.
When making use of --gc-section, or just when trying to pull in parts of
a library, it is not uncommon for a user to use the '--undefined'
command line option to specify a symbol that the user then expects to be
defined by one of the object files supplied to the link.
However, if for any reason the symbol is not satisfied by an object
provided to the link the user will be left with an undefined symbol in
the output file, instead of a defined symbol.
In some cases the above behaviour is what the user wants, in other cases
though we can do better. The '--require-defined' option tries to fill
this gap. The symbol passed to the '--require-defined' option is
treated exactly as if the symbol was passed to '--undefined', however,
before the linker exits a check is made that all symbols passed to
'--require-defined' are actually defined, if any are not then the link
will fail with an error.

* ld.texinfo (Options): Document --require-defined option.

Implicit void * -> function pointer conversion doesn't work in C++, so

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.

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.

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.

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

(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.
