This patch changes rl78-tdep.c so that a 16-bit type is used for
register pairs instead of a pointer type as was previously the case.
This will cause these register pairs to be displayed as integers
instead of as a data address with a 0xf0000 ORed in.
E.g. registers ax, bc, de, and hl might now be displayed like this:
(gdb) info registers ax bc de hl
ax 0x6 6
bc 0x0 0
de 0x10c3 4291
hl 0x108d 423
Whereas, before, they were displayed as follows:
(gdb) info registers ax bc de hl
ax 0xf0006 0xf0006
bc 0xf0000 0xf0000
de 0xf10c3 0xf10c3
hl 0xf108d 0xf108d
These pairs are 16 bit quantities and should be displayed as such.
This change also affects the way that the banked register pairs are
displayed. Within GDB, the banked register pairs are named bank0_rp0,
bank0_rp1, .., bank3_rp2, bank3_rp3.
However, these register pairs need to be used as addresses in DWARF
expressions. I have added 16 pseudo registers corresponding to banked
register pairs. These new pseudo registers are all hidden from the
user and have a pointer type. Values from these registers are
intended to be used in DWARF expressions. Therefore,
rl78_dwarf_reg_to_regnum() has been adjusted to return these new
pseudo register numbers.
I had a much simpler patch which only changed the types, but it showed
a number of regressions due to integer values from the banked register
pairs being used as part of an address expression. This current patch
shows no regressions and now displays values of register pairs
correctly.

This removes yet another instance of a deprecated_xfer_memory user,

The regression was introduced by the to_xfer_partial transition
to return a status enum. procfs_xfer_partial was updated but
not the case where object is TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY. As result,
procfs_xfer_partial was returning the length xfered rather than
the status, and the xfered buffer was left uninitialized.

In the original code, len is returned, which could be 0, but after that
commit, only TARGET_XFER_OK is returned, which is wrong. If len is 0,
TARGET_XFER_EOF should be returned. (it is 0 in enum

As we migrate to the new to_xfer_partial interface, some of previous

reverted.

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00752.html
Third, to_traceframe_info is only called when traceframe is selected,
that means it is only called when target is remote, tfile or ctf, so
this patch can be partially reverted,

Given ps does that, I believe the kernel won't ever be changed

The patch "return target_xfer_status in to_xfer_partial" caused a
regression in various s390(x) test cases, because memory_xfer_partial
filled only the first byte of the read buffer from a breakpoint shadow:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-01/msg01071.html
This patch fixes the regression.
I realized that the name of this test only made sense when considering
the old (never committed) implementation of the fix that came along
with the test originally, that forced a schedlock while a step-resume
(to get over the signal handler) was inserted. The final solution
that went into the tree does not force that locking.
So this renames it to something more descriptive.

Now that I have already submitted and pushed the patch to split
i386_stap_parse_special_token into two smaller functions, it is indeed
simpler to understand this patch.
It occurs because, on x86, triplet displacement operands are allowed
(like "-4+8-20(%rbp)"), and the current parser for this expression is
buggy. It does not correctly extract the register name from the
expression, which leads to incorrect evaluation. The parser was also
being very "generous" with the expression, so I included a few more
checks to ensure that we're indeed dealing with a triplet displacement
operand.
This patch also includes testcases for the two different kind of
expressions that can be encountered on x86: the triplet displacement
(explained above) and the three-argument displacement (as in
"(%rbx,%ebx,-8)"). The tests are obviously arch-dependent and are
placed under gdb.arch/.

Now that get_module_name is no longer called for handling DLL events,
we can simplify it a bit, knowing that the only use is to get the
executable's filename.
While doing so, we adjusted the implementation a bit to avoid
references to DLLs, renamed it to make its more-targeted usage
more explicit, moved it right before the only function that uses it.
We also remove the use of hard-coded length for the buffers being
used.

(windows_pid_to_exec_file): Replace call to get_module_name

When a DLL gets loaded an the debugger gets a debug event about it,
the currently implementation in handle_load_dll currently tries to
fetch the DLL's name by first iterating over all DLLs known to
the system. It should be sufficient to rely on the name provided
with the event, however, especially in the situation we are now,
where we now know that we're past the statup phase for our inferior.
This patch therefore simplifies windows-nat.c::handle_load_dll to
only rely on the event's lpImageName.
It also updates the function's comment to document the assumption
regarding not being during the inferior's startup phase. And while
at it, it fixes the function documentation, which was probably
unintentionally inherited from another function (perhaps windows_wait).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* windows-nat.c (handle_load_dll): Rewrite this function's
introductory comment. Remove code using get_module_name
to get the DLL's name.
This patch aims at simplifying DLL handling during the inferior
initialization (process creation during the "run", or during an
"attach"). Instead of processing each DLL load event, which is
sometimes incomplete, we ignore these events until the inferior
has completed its startup phase, and then just iterate over all
DLLs via EnumProcessModules.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* windows-nat.c (get_windows_debug_event): Ignore
LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT and UNLOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT
if windows_initialization_done == 0.
(windows_add_all_dlls): Renames windows_ensure_ntdll_loaded.
Adjust implementation to always load all DLLs.
(do_initial_windows_stuff): Replace call to
windows_ensure_ntdll_loaded by call to windows_add_all_dlls.
The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:
(gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 No C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").
As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.
But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.
Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:
(gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 Yes (*) C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
This patch therefore deprecates the "dll-symbols" command, as well
as its two aliases "add-shared-symbol-files" and "assf", with a view
of deleting them as soon as the 7.8 branch gets cut.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* windows-nat.c (_initialize_windows_nat): Deprecate the
"dll-symbols" command. Turn the "add-shared-symbol-files"
and "assf" aliases into commands, and deprecate them as well.
* NEWS: Add entry explaining that "dll-symbols" and its two
aliases are now deprecated.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Files): Document "add-shared-symbol-files"
and "assf" as being deprecated.
(Cygwin Native): Likewise for "dll-symbols".
(Non-debug DLL Symbols): Remove reference to "dll-symbols"
as a way to force the loading of symbols from a DLL.
