* gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): Remove trailing "." from

This patch adds a table summarizing the history or MI versions:
- The version number
- Which GDB version introduced it
- Breaking changes compared to the previous version
The goal of the table is to help writers of front ends know which
version of MI they can use with a given GDB version. It will also help
them update their code to work against a newer MI version.
Right now, we just have 1 and 2, but we expect to add an entry for 3
soon. I did a bit of archelogy and reverse engineering of the code to
come up with the breaking changes for MI 2.
I did some changes to the text around it, some things that I thought
needed to be clarified, seemed a bit dated or seemed just wrong
(especially "Apart from mi0, new versions of @value{GDBN} will not
support old versions of MI").
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Development and Front Ends): Add table of
MI versions. Update text around it.
This patch defines pseudo-registers "v0" through "v31" as aliases that
map to the corresponding raw "vr0" through "vr31" vector registers for
Power.
The motivation behind this is that although GDB defines these
registers as "vrX", the disassembler prints them as "vX", e.g. as the
operands in instructions such as "vaddubm v2,v1,v1". This can be
confusing to users trying to print out the values of the operands
while inspecting the disassembled code.
The new aliases are made not to belong to any register group, to avoid
duplicated values in "info register vector" and "info register all".
The arch-specific rs6000_pseudo_register_reggroup_p function had
previously been removed since the other pseudo-registers could have
their groups inferred by their type. It restored with this patch to
handle the aliases. Membership for the other pseudo-registers is
still determined using the default function.
A new tests checks that GDB prints the expected values of vector
registers after they are filled by the inferior, by using both the raw
names and the aliases. Two other existing tests are modified to also
test the aliases.

* gdb.texinfo (PowerPC Features): Document the alias
pseudo-registers for the org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec feature.
An upcoming sync with gcc's libiberty [1] will remove support for old
mangling schemes (GNU v2, Lucid, ARM, HP and EDG). It will remove the
cplus_demangle_opname function, so we need to get rid of its usages in
GDB (it's a GNU v2 specific function).
I think the changes are mostly relatively obvious, some hacks that were
necessary to support overloaded operators with GNU v2 mangling are not
needed anymore.
The change in stabsread.c is perhaps less obvious. I think we could get
rid of more code in that region that is specific to old mangling
schemes, but I chose to do only the minimal changes required to remove
the cplus_demangle_opname uses. There is also a detailed comment just
above that explaining how GNU v2 and v3 mangled symbols are handled, I
decided to leave it as-is, since I wasn't sure which part to remove,
change or leave there.

When setting a syscall catchpoint by name, catch syscalls whose name
or alias matches the requested string.
When the ABI of a system call is changed in the FreeBSD kernel, this
is implemented by leaving a compatibility system call using the old
ABI at the existing "slot" and allocating a new system call for the
version using the new ABI. For example, new fields were added to the
'struct kevent' used by the kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12. The
previous kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12 kernels is now called
freebsd11_kevent() and is still used by older binaries compiled
against the older ABI. The freebsd11_kevent() system call can be
tagged with an "alias" attribute of "kevent" permitting 'catch syscall
kevent' to catch both system calls and providing the expected user
behavior for both old and new binaries. It also provides the expected
behavior if GDB is compiled on an older host (such as a FreeBSD 11
host).

This commit adds target description support for riscv.
I've used the split feature approach for specifying the architectural
features, and the CSR feature is auto-generated from the riscv-opc.h
header file.
If the target doesn't provide a suitable target description then GDB
will build one by looking at the bfd headers.
This commit does not implement target description creation for the
Linux or FreeBSD native targets, both of these will need to add
read_description methods into their respective target classes, which
probe the target features, and then call
riscv_create_target_description to build a suitable target
description. Until this is done Linux and FreeBSD will get the same
default target description based on the bfd that bare-metal targets
get.
I've only added feature descriptions for 32 and 64 bit registers, 128
bit registers (for RISC-V) are not supported in the reset of GDB yet.
This commit removes the special reading of the MISA register in order
to establish the target features, this was only used for figuring out
the f-register size, and even that wasn't done consistently. We now
rely on the target to tell us what size of registers it has (or look
in the BFD as a last resort). The result of this is that we should
now support RV64 targets with 32-bit float, though I have not
extensively tested this combination yet.

This patch adds support for Hardware Transactional Memory registers
for the powerpc linux native and core file targets, and for the
pwoerpc linux server stub.
These registers include both the HTM special-purpose registers (TFHAR,
TEXASR and TFIAR) as well as the set of registers that are
checkpointed (saved) when a transaction is initiated, which the
processor restores in the event of a transaction failure.
The set of checkpointed general-purpose registers is returned by the
linux kernel in the same format as the regular general-purpose
registers, defined in struct pt_regs. However, the architecture
specifies that only some of the registers present in pt_regs are
checkpointed (GPRs 0-31, CR, XER, LR and CTR). The kernel fills the
slots for MSR and NIP with other info. The other fields usually don't
have meaningful values. GDB doesn't define registers that are not
checkpointed in the architecture, but when generating a core file, GDB
fills the slot for the checkpointed MSR with the regular MSR. These
are usually similar, although some bits might be different, and in
some cases the checkpointed MSR will have a value of 0 in a
kernel-generated core-file. The checkpointed NIP is filled with TFHAR
by GDB in the core-file, which is what the kernel does. The other
fields are set to 0 by GDB.
Core files generated by the kernel have a note section for
checkpointed GPRs with the same size for both 32-bit and 64-bit
threads, and the values for the registers of a 32-bit thread are
squeezed in the first half, with no useful data in the second half.
GDB generates a smaller note section for 32-bit threads, but can read
both sizes.
The checkpointed XER is required to be 32-bit in the target
description documentation, even though the more recent ISAs define it
as 64-bit wide, since the high-order 32-bits are reserved, and because
in Linux there is no way to get a 64-bit checkpointed XER for 32-bit
threads. If this changes in the future, the target description
feature requirement can be relaxed to allow for a 64-bit checkpointed
XER.
Access to the checkpointed CR (condition register) can be confusing.
The architecture only specifies that CR fields 1 to 7 (the 24 least
significant bits) are checkpointed, but the kernel provides all 8
fields (32 bits). The value of field 0 is not masked by ptrace, so it
will sometimes show the result of some kernel operation, probably
treclaim., which sets this field.
The checkpointed registers are marked not to be saved and restored.
Inferior function calls during an active transaction don't work well,
and it's unclear what should be done in this case. TEXASR and TFIAR
can be altered asynchronously, during transaction failure recording,
so they are also not saved and restored. For consistency neither is
TFHAR.
Record and replay also doesn't work well when transactions are
involved. This patch doesn't address this, so the values of the HTM
SPRs will sometimes be innacurate when the record/relay target is
enabled. For instance, executing a "tbegin." alters TFHAR and TEXASR,
but these changes are not currently recorded.
Because the checkpointed registers are only available when a
transaction is active (or suspended), ptrace can return ENODATA when
gdb tries to read these registers and the inferior is not in a
transactional state. The registers are set to the unavailable state
when this happens. When gbd tries to write to one of these registers,
and it is unavailable, an error is raised.
The "fill" functions for checkpointed register sets in the server stub
are not implemented for the same reason as for the EBB register set,
since ptrace can also return ENODATA for checkpointed regsets. The
same issues with 'G' packets apply here.
Just like for the EBB registers, tracepoints will not mark the
checkpointed registers as unavailable if the inferior was not in a
transaction, so their content will also show 0 instead of
<unavailable> when inspecting trace data.
The new tests record the values of the regular registers before
stepping the inferior through a "tbegin." instruction to start a
transaction, then the checkpointed registers are checked against the
recorded pre-transactional values. New values are written to the
checkpointed registers and recorded, the inferior continues until the
transaction aborts (which is usually immediately when it is resumed),
and the regular registers are checked against the recorded values,
because the abort should have reverted the registers to these values.
Like for the EBB registers, target_store_registers will ignore the
checkpointed registers when called with -1 as the regno
argument (store all registers in one go).

This patch adds support for registers of the Event Based Branching and
Performance Monitoring Units for the powerpc linux native and core
file targets, and for the powerpc linux server stub.
All three EBB registers are accessible. Only a subset of the PMU
registers can be accessed through ptrace. Because of this, the PMU
registers are enumerated individually in gdbarch_tdep, as opposed to
having a single "have_pmu" flag. This is intended to make it easier
to add additional PMU registers in the future, since checking a
"have_pmu" flag elsewhere in the code would no longer be correct. The
tdesc feature is named org.gnu.gdb.power.linux.pmu because of this.
It's unclear if it makes sense to save and restore these registers
across function calls, since some of them can be modified
asynchronously. They are also not tracked in record-replay mode.
The kernel can return ENODATA when ptrace is used to get the EBB
registers, unless a linux performance event that uses EBB is open in
the inferior. For this reason, the "fill" functions in the server
stub for the ebb register sets is not implemented.
Since gdbserver writes all registers in one go before resuming the
inferior, this error would not be detected at the time the user tries
to write to one of the registers on the client side, and gdbserver
would print out warnings every time it resumes the inferior when no
ebb performance event is opened, so there is currently no
straightforward way to handle this case. This means the ebb registers
in the client-side regcache can become dirty when the user tries to
write to them, until the inferior is resumed and stopped again.
A related issue is that 'G' packets used to write to unrelated
registers will include bad data for the EBB registers if they are
unavailable, since no register status information is included in the
'G' packet. This data won't be written to the inferior by the
gdbserver stub because the "fill" functions are not implemented, and
currently the gdbserver stub doesn't change the status of the
registers in its own regcache in response to 'G' packets.
Another limitation for the ebb registers is that traceframes don't
record if registers are available or not, so if these registers are
collected when a tracepoint is hit and the inferior has no ebb event
opened, the user will see zero values for all of them, instead of the
usual <unavailable>.
Because these registers are often unavailable, trying to store them
with target_store_registers with -1 for the regno argument (all
registers) would almost always fail, so they are ignored in this case.

I've written a couple of gdb unwinders in Python, and while doing so,
I wanted to find the architecture of the inferior. (In an unwinder in
particular, one can't use the frame's architecture, because there is
no frame.)
This patch adds Inferior.architecture to allow this. Normally I think
I would have chosen an attribute and not a method here, but seeing
that Frame.architecture is a method, I chose a method as well, for
consistency.

In the distant past, there was no distinction between domain_enum and
search_domain. At that point, there were two sets of enumerators in a
single enum -- which is why these were eventually split. This
confusion leaked out to the Python API as well, as noted in
PR python/21765.
This patch deprecates the constants that aren't useful to the Python
API. They are left in place for now, but removed from the
documentation. Also, their values are changed so that, if used, they

The 'frame' command, and thanks to code reuse the 'info frame' and
'select-frame' commands, currently have an overloaded mechanism for
selecting a frame.
These commands take one or two parameters, if it's one parameter then
we first try to use the parameter as an integer to select a frame by
level (or depth in the stack). If that fails then we treat the
parameter as an address and try to select a stack frame by
stack-address. If we still have not selected a stack frame, or we
initially had two parameters, then GDB allows the user to view a stack
frame that is not part of the current backtrace. Internally, a new
frame is created with the given stack and pc addresses, and this is
shown to the user.
The result of this is that a typo by the user, entering the wrong stack
frame level for example, can result in a brand new frame being viewed
rather than an error.
The purpose of this commit is to remove this overloading, while still
offering the same functionality through some new sub-commands. By
making the default behaviour of 'frame' (and friends) be to select a
stack frame by level index, it is hoped that enough
backwards-compatibility is maintained that users will not be overly
inconvenienced.
The 'frame', 'select-frame', and 'info frame' commands now all take a
frame specification string as an argument, this string can be any of the
following:
(1) An integer. This is treated as a frame level. If a frame for
that level does not exist then the user gets an error.
(2) A string like 'level <LEVEL>', where <LEVEL> is a frame level
as in option (1) above.
(3) A string like 'address <STACK-ADDRESS>', where <STACK-ADDRESS>
is a stack-frame address. If there is no frame for this address
then the user gets an error.
(4) A string like 'function <NAME>', where <NAME> is a function name,
the inner most frame for function <NAME> is selected. If there is no
frame for function <NAME> then the user gets an error.
(5) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS>', this views a new frame
with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS>.
(6) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS> <PC-ADDRESS>', this views
a new frame with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS> and the pc <PC-ADDRESS>.
This change assumes that the most common use of the commands like
'frame' is to select a frame by frame level, it is for this reason
that this is the behaviour that is kept for backwards compatibility.
Any of the alternative behaviours, which are assumed to be less used,
now require a change in user behaviour.
The MI command '-stack-select-frame' has not been changed. This
ensures that we maintain backwards compatibility for existing
frontends.

The code implementing gdb.objfiles() returns a list of objfiles for the

Printing a GDB Python object is notoriously not helpful:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior object at 0x7fea59aed198>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile object at 0x7fea59b57c90>]
This makes printing debug traces more difficult than it should be. This
patch provides some repr() implementation for these two types (more to
come if people agree with the idea, but I want to test the water first).
Here's the same example as above, but with this patch:
>>> print(gdb.selected_inferior())
<gdb.Inferior num=1>
>>> print(gdb.objfiles())
[<gdb.Objfile filename=/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb-gcc-git/gdb/test>]
I implemented repr rather than str, because when printing a list (or
another container I suppose), Python calls the repr method of the
elements. This is useful when printing a list of inferiors or objfiles.
The print(gdb.objfiles()) above would not have worked if I had
implemented str.

str:

This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature. It does
most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and
your basic "with-classes" type of C++.
I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test
facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code"
testing. See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression
for more on that. The tests use this facility extensively.
This initial support has several glaring omissions:
- No template support at all
I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity
to this "basic" support. Consequently, they will be submitted separately.
- Cannot print functions
The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet.
- So-called "special function" support is not included
Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have
follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the
recent churn in symbol searching.
- There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs.
I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing
these patches.
The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but
I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in.
I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion
("debug compile-cplus-types").

Ref.: https://bugs.debian.org/904628
It has been reported that gcore's manpage is a bit imprecise when it
comes to two things:
- It doesn't explicity say that the command accepts more than one PID
on its CLI.
- It fails to mention that the argument passed through the "-o" option
is actually a prefix that will be used to compose the corefile's
filename, and not the actual filename.
I decided to give it a try and rewrite parts of the text to further
clarify these two points. I ended up rewording the "Description"
section because, IMHO, it was a bit confuse to understand.
To make things consistent, I've also renamed the "$name" variable in
the gcore.in script, and expanded the usage text.

Add a maintenance command to disable the DWARF stack unwinders.
Normal users would not need this feature, but it is useful to allow
extended testing of fallback stack unwinding strategies, for example,
prologue scanners.
This is a partial implementation of the idea discussed in pr gdb/8434,
which talks about a generic ability to disable any frame unwinder.
Being able to arbitrarily disable any frame unwinder would be a more
complex patch, and I was unsure how useful such a feature would really
be, however, I can see (and have) a real need to disable DWARF
unwinders. That's why this patch only targets that specific set of
unwinders.
If in the future we find ourselves adding more switches to disable
different unwinders, then we should probably move to a more generic
solution, and remove this patch.

* dwarf2-frame-tailcall.c (tailcall_frame_sniffer): Exit early if
DWARF unwinders are disabled.

This patch implements IPv6 support for both GDB and gdbserver. Based
on my research, it is the fourth attempt to do that since 2006. Since
I used ideas from all of the previous patches, I also added their
authors's names on the ChangeLogs as a way to recognize their
efforts. For reference sake, you can find the previous attempts at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-09/msg00192.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00248.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00226.html
The basic idea behind the patch is to start using the new
'getaddrinfo'/'getnameinfo' calls, which are responsible for
translating names and addresses in a protocol-independent way. This
means that if we ever have a new version of the IP protocol, we won't
need to change the code again (or, at least, won't have to change the
majority of the code).
The function 'getaddrinfo' returns a linked list of possible addresses
to connect to. Dealing with multiple addresses proved to be a hard
task with the current TCP auto-retry mechanism implemented on
ser-tcp:net_open. For example, when gdbserver listened only on an
IPv4 socket:
$ ./gdbserver --once 127.0.0.1:1234 ./a.out
and GDB was instructed to try to connect to both IPv6 and IPv4
sockets:
$ ./gdb -ex 'target extended-remote localhost:1234' ./a.out
the user would notice a somewhat big delay before GDB was able to
connect to the IPv4 socket. This happened because GDB was trying to
connect to the IPv6 socket first, and had to wait until the connection
timed out before it tried to connect to the IPv4 socket.
For that reason, I had to rewrite the main loop and implement a new
method for handling multiple connections. After some discussion,
Pedro and I agreed on the following algorithm:
1) For each entry returned by 'getaddrinfo', we try to open a socket
and connect to it.
2.a) If we have a successful 'connect', we just use that connection.
2.b) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
ECONNREFUSED (meaning the the connection was refused), we keep track
of this fact by using a flag.
2.c) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a
EINPROGRESS (meaning that the connection is in progress), we perform
a 'select' call on the socket until we have a result (either a
successful connection, or an error on the socket).
3) If tcp_auto_retry is true, and we haven't gotten a successful
connection, and at least one of our attempts failed with
ECONNREFUSED, then we wait a little bit (i.e., call
'wait_for_connect'), check to see if there was a
timeout/interruption (in which case we bail out), and then go back
to (1).
After multiple tests, I was able to connect without delay on the
scenario described above, and was also able to connect in all other
types of scenarios.
I also implemented some hostname parsing functions (along with their
corresponding unit tests) which are used to help GDB and gdbserver to
parse hostname strings provided by the user. These new functions are
living inside common/netstuff.[ch]. I've had to do that since IPv6
introduces a new URL scheme, which defines that square brackets can be
used to enclose the host part and differentiate it from the
port (e.g., "[::1]:1234" means "host ::1, port 1234"). I spent some
time thinking about a reasonable way to interpret what the user wants,
and I came up with the following:
- If the user has provided a prefix that doesn't specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp:" or "udp:"), or if the user has not provided
any prefix, don't make any assumptions (i.e., assume AF_UNSPEC when
dealing with 'getaddrinfo') *unless* the host starts with "[" (in
which case, assume it's an IPv6 host).
- If the user has provided a prefix that does specify the protocol
version (i.e., "tcp4:", "tcp6:", "udp4:" or "udp6:"), then respect
that.
This method doesn't follow strictly what RFC 2732 proposes (that
literal IPv6 addresses should be provided enclosed in "[" and "]")
because IPv6 addresses still can be provided without square brackets
in our case, but since we have prefixes to specify protocol versions I
think this is not an issue.
Another thing worth mentioning is the new 'GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST'
testcase parameter, which makes it possible to specify the
hostname (without the port) to be used when testing GDB and
gdbserver. For example, to run IPv6 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp6:[::1]'
Or, to run IPv4 tests:
$ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp4:127.0.0.1'
This required a few changes on the gdbserver-base.exp, and also a
minimal adjustment on gdb.server/run-without-local-binary.exp.
Finally, I've implemented a new testcase,
gdb.server/server-connect.exp, which is supposed to run on the native
host and perform various "smoke tests" using different connection
methods.
This patch has been regression-tested on BuildBot and locally, and
also built using a x86_64-w64-mingw32 GCC, and no problems were found.

Switch to use add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd for some of the
control variables in remote.c. The variables
hardware-watchpoint-limit, hardware-breakpoint-limit, and
hardware-watchpoint-length-limit are all changed. For example, a user
will now see this:
(gdb) show remote hardware-breakpoint-limit
The maximum number of target hardware breakpoints is unlimited.
Instead of this:
(gdb) show remote hardware-breakpoint-limit
The maximum number of target hardware breakpoints is -1.
And can do this:
(gdb) set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit unlimited
However, previously any negative value implied "unlimited", now only
-1, or the text "unlimited" can be used for unlimited. Any other
negative value will give an error about invalid input. This is a
small change in the user interface, but, hopefully, this will not
cause too many problems.
I've also added show functions for these three variables to allow for
internationalisation.

Implement MIPS target support for passing options to the disassembler,
complementing commit 65b48a8140 ("GDB: Add support for the new
set/show disassembler-options commands.").
This includes options that expect an argument, so adjust the generic
code and data structures used so as to handle such options. So as to
give backends syntax flexibility no specific delimiter has been defined
to separate options from their respective arguments, so it has to be
included as the last character of the option name. Completion code
however has not been adjusted and consequently option arguments cannot
be completed at this time.
Also the MIPS target has non-empty defaults for the options, so that ABI
names for the general-purpose registers respect our `set mips abi ...'
setting rather than always being determined from the ELF headers of the
binary file selected. Handle these defaults as implicit options, never
shown to the user and always prepended to the user-specified options, so
that the latters can override the defaults.
The resulting output for the MIPS target is as follows:
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:
no-aliases Use canonical instruction forms.
msa Recognize MSA instructions.
virt Recognize the virtualization ASE instructions.
xpa Recognize the eXtended Physical Address (XPA) ASE
instructions.
ginv Recognize the Global INValidate (GINV) ASE instructions.
gpr-names=ABI Print GPR names according to specified ABI.
Default: based on binary being disassembled.
fpr-names=ABI Print FPR names according to specified ABI.

Default: based on binary being disassembled.
reg-names=ABI Print GPR and FPR names according to specified ABI.

For the options above, the following values are supported for "ABI":

numeric r3000 r3900 r4000 r4010 vr4100 vr4111 vr4120 r4300 r4400 r4600

which corresponds to what `objdump --help' used to print for the MIPS
target, with minor formatting changes, most notably option argument
lists being wrapped, but also the amount of white space separating
options from the respective descriptions. The relevant part the new
code is now also used by `objdump --help', which means these formatting
changes apply to both outputs, except for argument list wrapping, which
is GDB-specific.
This also adds a separating new line between the heading and option
lists where descriptions are provided, hence:
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit
(gdb) show disassembler-options
The current disassembler options are ''
The following disassembler options are supported for use with the
'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command:

insnlength Print unknown instructions according to length from first two bits
(gdb)

(gdb)
Existing affected target backends have been adjusted accordingly.
This has been verified manually with:
(gdb) set architecture arm
(gdb) set architecture powerpc:common
(gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit
to cause no issues with the `show disassembler-options' and `set
disassembler-options' commands. A test case for the MIPS target has
also been provided, covering the default settings with ABI overrides as
well as disassembler option overrides.

This commit adds two new commands which may be used to test thread
debugging libraries used by GDB:
* "maint check libthread-db" tests the thread debugging library GDB
is using for the current inferior.
* "maint set/show check-libthread-db" selects whether libthread_db
tests should be run automatically as libthread_db is auto-loaded.
The default is to not run tests automatically.
The test itself is a basic integrity check exercising all libthread_db
functions used by GDB on GNU/Linux systems. By extension this also
exercises the proc_service functions provided by GDB that libthread_db
uses.
This functionality is useful for NPTL developers and libthread_db
developers. It could also prove useful investigating bugs reported
against GDB where the thread debugging library or GDB's proc_service

This adds a "continue" response to the pager. If the user types "c"
in response to the pager prompt, pagination will be disabled for the
duration of one command -- but re-enabled afterward. This is handy if
you type a command that produces a lot of output, and you don't want
to baby-sit it by typing "return" each time the prompt comes up.

It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI
will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set"
commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a
bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an
empty string, a blank line will be printed.
This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string
behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about
preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important;
and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is
trivial.

This adds a basic Python API for accessing convenience variables.
With this, convenience variables can be read and set from Python.
Although gdb supports convenience variables whose value changes at
each call, this is not exposed to Python; it could be, but I think
it's just as good to write a convenience function in this situation.
This is PR python/23080.

Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary
file or with the `set endian' command, for future automatic selection.
As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when
discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the
endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default,
even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to.
For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness
being big we get this:

which shows that with the removal of the executable debugged the
endianness of $pc still at `main' gets swapped and the value in that
register is now incorrectly interpreted as 0x40084000 rather than
0x400840 as shown earlier on with the `break' command. Consequently the
debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is
overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command.
This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness
does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded
for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'.
Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive
target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness
will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last
endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default. It will make a
session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and
will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target.
And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently
choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command.
With the change in place the test case above completes successfully:

This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or

However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back

The GDB commands "info variables", "info functions", and "info types" show
the appropriate list of definitions matching the given pattern. They also
group them by source files. But no line numbers within these source files
are shown.
The line number information is particularly useful to the user when a
simple "grep" doesn't readily point to a definition. This is often the
case when the definition involves a macro, occurs within a namespace, or
when the identifier appears very frequently in the source file.
This patch enriches the printout of these commands by the line numbers and
adjusts affected test cases to the changed output where necessary. The
new output looks like this:
(gdb) i variables
All defined variables:
File foo.c:
3: const char * const foo;
1: int x;
The line number is followed by a colon and a tab character, which is then
followed by the symbol definition. If no line number is available, the
tab is printed out anyhow, so definitions line up.

Add new set/show commands to set the processor that is used for enabling
errata workarounds when decoding branch trace.
The general format is "<vendor>:<identifier>" but we also allow two
special values "auto" and "none".
The default is "auto", which is the current behaviour of having GDB
determine the processor on which the trace was recorded.
If that cpu is not known to the trace decoder, e.g. when using an old
decoder on a new system, decode may fail with "unknown cpu". In most
cases it should suffice to 'downgrade' decode to assume an older cpu.
Unfortunately, we can't do this automatically.
The other special value, "none", disables errata workarounds.

This is a command we somehow forgot to contribute at the time the Ada
language was first contributed to the FSF. This command allows
the user to change the maximum size we allow when reading memory
from dynamic objects (the default is 65536 bytes).
At the moment, this limit is only used by Ada, and so the implementation
is kept inside ada-lang.c. However, it is conceivable that other language
might want to use it also to handle the same kind of issues; for instance,
this might be useful when handling dynamic types in C. So the name
of the setting was made language-neutral, to allow for this.
Note that an alias for "set var" needs to be introduced as well.
We are not adding a test for that, since this is a feature that is
already exercized by numerous existing tests.

* gdb.python/py-framefilter.exp: Add "bt hide" test.
The backtrace command has peculiar command-line parsing. In
particular, it splits the command line, then loops over the arguments.
If it sees a word it recognizes, like "full", it effectively drops
this word from the argument vector. Then, it pastes together the
remaining arguments, passing them on to backtrace_command_1, which in
turn passes the resulting string to parse_and_eval_long.
The documentation doesn't mention the parse_and_eval_long at all, so
it is a bit of a hidden feature that you can "bt 3*2". The strange
algorithm above also means you can "bt 3 * no-filters 2" and get 6
frames...
This patch changes backtrace's command line parsing to be a bit more
rational. Now, special words like "full" are only recognized at the
start of the command.
This also updates the documentation to describe the various bt options
individually.

This converts observers from using a special source-generating script
to be plain C++. This version of the patch takes advantage of C++11
by using std::function and variadic templates; incorporates Pedro's

eliminates the need for a clean rebuild).
Note that Pedro's patches used a template lambda in tui-hooks.c, but

differing C++ versions); I replaced this with an ordinary template
function.

Resurrect gdb-add-index as a contrib script
However, for some reason (I couldn't find it in the archives), only
the script has been checked-in; the Makefile parts responsible for
installing it in the system were left out. This commit fixes that, by
also resurrecting the Makefile and documentation bits.
This commit is part of our effort to upstream the local Fedora GDB
changes. With this commit, we'll only carry a very small
Fedora-specific modification to the script.

Document support for 'info proc' on FreeBSD.
fail to build.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (pwd): Fix whitespace.
Since the 'info proc' support on FreeBSD does not use /proc, reword
the documentation for 'info proc' to not assume /proc. This includes
renaming the node to 'Process Information' and suggesting that
additional process information can be queried via different
OS-specific interfaces. This is also cleans up the description of
'info proc' support for core files a bit as /proc is not used for core
file support on any current platform.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Document that 'info proc' now works on FreeBSD.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (pwd): Update cross-reference for Process Information
node and remove explicit /proc reference.
(Native): Rename subsection from SVR4 Process Information to
Process Information.
(Process Information): Reword introduction to be less /proc
centric. Document support for "info proc" on FreeBSD.
When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions. Let's
use this small example:
procedure Foo is
begin
begin
raise Constraint_Error;
exception
when Program_Error =>
null;
when Constraint_Error =>
null;
when others =>
null;
end;
end Foo;
One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:
(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)
In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:
begin
>>> raise Constraint_Error;
exception
This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:
(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo
By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:
Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25 when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)
It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program. With this patch, we can use:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)
Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0

This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.
The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example:
/* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv {
public:
/* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu {
/* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1;
/* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3;
/* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23;
/* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 4-byte hole */
/* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5;
/* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5;
/* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3;
/* total size (bytes): 24 */
} a1;
/* total size (bytes): 56 */
}
A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).
After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future
patch.
This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>
This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation. I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.

I find the documentation of the gdb.Breakpoint constructor hard to read
and not very informative, especially since we have added the new
linespec parameters. There are multiple problems (some are subjective):
- It's not clear that you should use either the spec string or the
explicit arguments, not both.
- It's not clear what combination of parameters you can use.
- The big block of text describing the arguments is hard to read.
- Currently, it seems like the "spec" argument is mandatory, even though
it is not (if you use explicit linespec).
- The square bracket nesting
[arg1 [, arg2[, arg3]]]
makes it seems like if you specify arg3, you must specify arg1 and
arg2 (it's not the case here).
This patch tries to address these problems.

This patch prepares the current GDB port of the OpenRISC processor from
https://github.com/openrisc/binutils-gdb for upstream merging.
Testing has been done with a cgen sim provided in a separate patch. This
has been tested with 2 toolchains. GCC [1] 5.4.0 from the OpenRISC
project with Newlib [2] and GCC 5.4.0 with Musl [3] 1.1.4.
It supports or1knd (no delay slot target).
The default target is or1k (with delay slot).
You can change the target arch with:
(gdb) set architecture or1knd
The target architecture is assumed to be or1knd

This adds a new "-dwarf-5" switch to "save gdb-index" that makes it

GDB currently does not track types defined in classes. Consider:
class A
{
public:
class B
{
public:
class C { };
};
};
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
}
This patch changes this behavior so that GDB records these nested types
and displays them to the user when he has set the (new) "print type"
option "nested-type-limit."
Example:
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 1
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
};
}
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 2
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
class A::B::C {
<no data fields>
};
};
}
By default, the code maintains the status quo, that is, it will not print
any nested type definitions at all.
Testing is carried out via cp_ptype_class which required quite a bit of
modification to permit recursive calling (for the nested types). This
was most easily facilitated by turning the ptype command output into a
queue. Upshot: the test suite now has stack and queue data structures that
may be used by test writers.

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.
Tested on the BuildBot.

objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.
Tested on the BuildBot.

Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently. E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:
(top-gdb) b string_print [TAB]
(top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
Quoting doesn't help:
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.
The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really
string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)
however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with
string_printf(char const*, ...)
too. I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.
And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,
"string_pri<TAB>" -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"
If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:
"string_printf[a<TAB>" -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"

* gdb.texinfo (Debugging C Plus Plus): Document setting
breakpoints in functions with ABI tags.
This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
(gdb) b B::function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.

This patch enhances the debugger to print the exception message, when
available, as part of an exception catchpoint hit notification (both
GDB/CLI and GDB/MI). For instance, with the following code...
procedure A is
begin
raise Constraint_Error with "hello world";
end A;
... instead of printing...
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at 0x000000000040245c in a () at a.adb:3
... it now prints:
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (hello world) at 0x000000000040245c in a ()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This enhancement requires runtime support. If not present, the debugger
just behaves as before.
In GDB/MI mode, if the exception message is available, it is provided
as an extra field named "exception-message" in the catchpoint notification:
*stopped,bkptno="1",[...],exception-name="CONSTRAINT_ERROR",
exception-message="hello world",[...]

While writing a unit test for parse_memory_map, I tried to validate my
test input against gdb-memory-map.dtd, and found a few problems with it.
This doesn't influence how gdb parses it (AFAIK it doesn't use the
linked dtd), but if you edit the xml file in an editor that supports
dtds, you'll get plenty of errors.
- The <memory-map> element accepts exactly one <memory> OR <property>
as a child. This is a problem because you can't have multiple
<memory> elements and you shouldn't be able to have <property> elements
as direct children of <memory-map>.
- The <memory> element wants exactly one <property> child. This is
wrong, since you could have zero or more (even though we only
support one kind of property currently).
- I have no idea wht the device attribute of <memory> is, GDB doesn't
read that. I searched back in time a bit but couldn't find a trace
of it.
I took the opportunity to tighten what is accepted as a value of the
memory type and property name attributes. We currently accept any
string, but we can restrict them to the values GDB really accepts (and
which are documented).
AFAIK, this "file" only exists in the documentation, in gdb.texinfo, so
this is what I modified. However, it's also available at
http://sourceware.org/gdb/gdb-memory-map.dtd. This one should be
updated too, but I don't know how that should be done.

This second patch introduces mfpr_float_ops, an new implementation
of target_float_ops. This implements precise emulation of target
floating-point formats using the MPFR library. This is then used
to perform operations on types that do not match any host type.
Note that use of MPFR is still not required. The patch adds
a configure option --with-mpfr similar to --with-expat. If use of
MPFR is disabled via the option or MPFR is not available, code will
fall back to current behavior. This means that operations on types
that do not match any host type will be implemented on the host
long double type instead.
A new test case verifies that we can correctly print the largest
__float128 value now.

When a breakpoint has multiple locations, like e.g.:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x080486a2 in void foo<int>()...
1.2 y 0x080486ca in void foo<double>()...
[....]
1.5 y 0x080487fa in void foo<long>()...
it's possible to enable/disable the individual locations using the
'<breakpoint_number>.<location_number>' syntax, like e.g.:
(gdb) disable 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
That's inconvenient when you have a long list of locations to disable,
however.
This patch adds shorthand for the above, by making it possible to
specify a range of locations with the following syntax (similar to
thread id ranges):
<breakpoint_number>.<first_location_number>-<last_location_number>
For example, the command above can now be simplified to:
(gdb) disable 1.2-5

This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.

This commit adds new "set/show cwd" commands, which are used to
set/show the current working directory of the inferior that will be
started.
The idea here is that "set cwd" will become the de facto way of
setting the inferior's cwd. Currently, the user can use "cd" for
that, but there are side effects: with "cd", GDB also switches to
another directory, and that can impact the loading of scripts and
other files. With "set cwd", we separate the logic into a new
command.
To maintain backward compatibility, if the user issues a "cd" command
but doesn't use "set cwd", then the inferior's cwd will still be
changed according to what the user specified. However, "set cwd" has
precedence over "cd", so it can always be used to override it.
"set cwd" works in the following way:
- If the user sets the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", then this
directory is saved into current_inferior ()->cwd and is used when
the inferior is started (see below).
- If the user doesn't set the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", but
rather use the "cd" command as before, then this directory is
inherited by the inferior because GDB will have chdir'd into it.
On Unix-like hosts, the way the directory is changed before the
inferior execution is by expanding the user set directory before the
fork, and then "chdir" after the call to fork/vfork on
"fork_inferior", but before the actual execution. On Windows, the
inferior cwd set by the user is passed directly to the CreateProcess
call, which takes care of the actual chdir for us.
This way, we'll make sure that GDB's cwd is not affected by the user
set cwd.

With the growing number of selftests, I think it would be useful to be
able to run only a subset of the tests. This patch associates a name to
each registered selftest. It then allows doing something like:
(gdb) maintenance selftest aarch64
Running self-tests.
Running selftest aarch64-analyze-prologue.
Running selftest aarch64-process-record.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
or with gdbserver:
./gdbserver --selftest=aarch64
In both cases, only the tests that contain "aarch64" in their name are
ran. To help validate that the tests you want to run were actually ran,
it also prints a message with the test name before running each test.
Right now, all the arch-dependent tests are registered as a single test
of the selftests. To be able to filter those too, I made them
"first-class citizen" selftests. The selftest type is an interface,
with different implementations for "simple selftests" and "arch
selftests". The run_tests function simply iterates on that an invokes
operator() on each test.
I changed the tests data structure from a vector to a map, because
- it allows iterating in a stable (alphabetical) order
- it allows to easily verify if a test with a given name has been
registered, to avoid duplicates
There's also a new command "maintenance info selftests" that lists the
registered selftests.

This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

How to use compile & execute function in GDB
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00026.html
GDB currently searches for compilers on /usr/bin/ARCH-OS-gcc and
chooses a match from there. However, it is not currently possible for
the user to override which compiler to use. This is what this patch
implements.
It is also a sync between GCC's and GDB's interfaces.

The M7 processor supports an Application Data Integrity (ADI) feature
that detects invalid data accesses. When software allocates data, it
chooses a 4-bit version number, sets the version in the upper 4 bits
of the 64-bit pointer to that data, and stores the 4-bit version in
every cacheline of the object. Hardware saves the latter in spare
bits in the cache and memory hierarchy. On each load and store, the
processor compares the upper 4 VA (virtual address) bits to the
cacheline's version. If there is a mismatch, the processor generates a
version mismatch trap which can be either precise or disrupting. The
trap is an error condition which the kernel delivers to the process as
a SIGSEGV signal.
The upper 4 bits of the VA represent a version and are not part of the
true address. The processor clears these bits and sign extends bit 59
to generate the true address.
Note that 32-bit applications cannot use ADI.
This patch adds ADI support in gdb which allows the user to examine
current version tags and assign new version tags in the program. It
also catches and reports precise or disrupting memory corruption
traps.

The rot agent expression bytecode rotates the three items on the top of
the stack. It is not clear which way the rotation is. However, the
documentation currently shows this as the effect of the instructions:
a b c => c b a
which doesn't make sense, since the value b doesn't move. The two
valid possibilities I see are
a b c => b c a
a b c => c a b
depending on which way you rotate.
When looking at the gdbserver code, the top of the stack becomes the
third item, and the next-to-top item becomes the top. So the second
form would be the right one, since in this notation the top of the stack
is the rightmost element:
a b c => c a b

Nowadays, we need two steps to print c files for xml target description,
that is, 1) read xml target description in, update the current tdesc,
2) visit the current tdesc, print the c file. It is unnecessary to
involve in current tdesc, and some validations in each gdbarch are
performed unnecessarily, which will reject some target descriptions if
they are missing some mandatory feature.
This patch adds an optional argument to "maint print c-tdesc", which
is an XML file target description, so that we can combine the two
steps above into one step, and don't have to involve in global current
tdesc.

In my patch extending command "maint print c-tdesc"
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00286.html), Eli
raised some questions on the existing doc to this command. It is not
very clear, so this patch improves it. Eli approved it.

I helped someone figure out why their separate debug info (debug
link-based) was not found by gdb. It turns out that the debug file was
not named properly. It made me realize that it is quite difficult to
diagnose this kind of problems. This patch adds some debug output to
show where GDB looks for those files, so that it should be (more)
obvious to find what's wrong.
Here's an example of the result, first with an example of unsuccessful lookup,
and then a successful one.

done.
Note: here, the debug link happens to be named like the build-id, but it
doesn't have to be this way. It puzzled me for a minute.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

CLI options.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-06-07 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/startup-with-shell.c: New file.
* gdb.base/startup-with-shell.exp: Likewise.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2017-06-07 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Starting) <startup-with-shell>: Add @anchor.
(Connecting) <Remote Packet>: Add "startup-with-shell"
and "QStartupWithShell" to the table.
(Remote Protocol) <QStartupWithShell>: New item, explaining the
packet.
Add mention of the vMustReplyEmpty to the remote serial protocol
documentation. It is important that this packet be treated in the same
fashion as any other unknown 'v' packet, and I have tried to reflect
this in the description of the packet, it is not simply the case that we
_must_ return the empty string for this packet.
As the intention is that we should treat this packet as unknown then an
argument could be made that we should not document it, however, for
someone implementing a gdbserver from scratch, seeing an undocumented
packet arrive from gdb is confusing, and will probably cause them to
have to read the code in order to check how this packet should be
handled, which is not ideal.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Packets): Document vMustReplyEmpty packet.
