This change adds support for backtracing through Renesas RX exception
frames.
Determination about the type of frame is made by scanning the
remainder of the function for a return instruction and then looking at
which, if any, return instruction is found. A normal RTS instruction
indicates that the frame is a normal frame. An RTFI instruction
indicates that it's a fast interrupt, and an RTE instruction indicates
that the frame is a (normal) exception frame. If no return instruction
is found within the scanned region - which can happen when the end of
the function cannot be found - it is assumed to be a normal frame.
I was able to test that normal prologue scanning still works by
disabling the dwarf2 sniffer. I've tested this code for normal
interrupts. The fast interrupt case has not been tested.

When I replaced TUI's frame_changed hook to fix PR tui/13378 I assumed
that there's no reason to refresh register information following a call
to "up", "down" or "frame". This assumption was made to fix the problem
of refreshing frame information twice following a sync-execution normal
stop (once in tui_normal_stop and then in tui_before_prompt) -- the
second refresh removing any highlights made by the first.
I was wrong about that -- GDB's snapshot of register information is
per-frame, and when the frame changes, registers do too (most
prominently the %rip and %rsp registers). So e.g. GDB 7.8 would
highlight such register changes after invoking "up", "down" or "frame",
and current GDB does not.
To fix this regression, this patch adds another (sufficient) condition
for refreshing register information: in
tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information, always refresh register
information if frame information has changed. This makes register
information get refreshed following a call to "up", "down" or "frame"
while still avoiding the "double refresh" issue following a normal stop.
This condition may seem to obsolete the existing registers_too_p
parameter, but it does not: following a normal stop, it is possible that
registers may have changed while frame information had not. We could be
on the exact same PC with different register values. The new condition
would not catch such a case, but the registers_too_p condition will. So
both conditions seem necessary (and either one is sufficient).

The select_frame hook is used by TUI to update TUI's frame and register
information following changes to the selected frame. The problem with
this hook is that it gets called after every single frame change, even
if the frame change is only temporary or internal. This is the primary
cause of flickering and slowdown when running the inferior under TUI
with conditional breakpoints set. Internal GDB events are the source of
many calls to select_frame and these internal events are triggered
frequently, especially when a few conditional breakpoints are set.
This patch removes the select_frame hook altogether and instead makes
the frame and register information get updated in two key places (using
observers): after an inferior stops, and right before displaying a
prompt. The latter hook covers the case when frame information must be
updated following a call to "up", "down" or "frame", and the former
covers the case when frame and register information must be updated
after a call to "continue", "step", etc. or after the inferior stops in
async execution mode. Together these hooks should cover all the cases
when frame information ought to be refreshed (and when the relevant
windows ought to be subsequently updated).
The print_frame_info_listing hook is also effectively obsolete now, but
it still must be set while the TUI is active because its caller
print_frame_info will otherwise assume that the CLI is active, and will
print the frame informaion accordingly. So this patch also sets the
print_frame_info_listing hook to a dummy callback, in lieu of outright
removing it yet.
Effectively, with this patch, frame/PC changes that do not immediately
precede an inferior-stop event or a prompt display event no longer cause
TUI's frame and register information to be updated.
And as a result of this change and of the previous change to
tui_show_frame_info, the TUI is much more disciplined about updating the
screen, and so the flicker as described in the PR is totally gone.

tui_show_frame_info is responsible for updating the visible windows
following a change in frame information (that being the currently
selected frame, PC, line number, etc). Currently it always redraws and
refreshes each window even if frame information has not changed. This
behavior is inefficient and helps contribute to the occassional
flickering of the TUI as described in the mentioned PR.
This patch makes tui_show_frame_info refresh the windows only if frame
information has changed. Determining whether frame information has
changed is done indirectly by determining whether the locator has
changed. This approach is convenient and yet sensible because the
locator contains all the relevant info we need to check anyway: the
current PC, the line number, the name of the executable and the name of
the current function. Probably only the PC is really necessary to
check, but it doesn't hurt to check every field.
Effectively, with this patch, consecutive calls to select_frame with the
same frame/PC no longer cause TUI's frame information to be updated
multiple times.

(tui_show_frame_info): If the locator info has not changed, then

The call to tui_alloc_content in tui_set_locator_info passes
locator->type as the type of the window whose content is being
allocated. This may seem correct but it's actually not because when
this code path actually get executed locator->type has not yet been to
set LOCATOR_WIN so it defaults to 0 i.e. SRC_WIN. Thus we allocate the
content of the locator window as if it was the source window. This
oversight turns out not to be a big deal in practice but the patch that
follows depends on the locator's proc_name and full_name arrays to be
initialized to the empty string which is done by tui_alloc_content if
we pass to it LOCATOR_WIN.
This patch fixes this bug by explicitly passing LOCATOR_WIN to
tui_alloc_content.

On GNU/Linux, if an infcall spawns a thread, that thread ends up with
stuck running state. This happens because:
- when linux-nat.c detects a new thread, it marks them as running,
and does not report anything to the core.
- we skip finish_thread_state when the thread that is running the
infcall stops.
As result, that new thread ends up with stuck "running" state, even
though it really is stopped.
On Windows, _all_ threads end up stuck in running state, not just the
one that was spawned. That happens because when a new thread is
detected, unlike linux-nat.c, windows-nat.c reports
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to infrun. It's the fact that that event
does not cause a user-visible stop that triggers the problem. When
the target is re-resumed, we call set_running with a wildcard ptid,
which marks all thread as running. That set_running is not suppressed
because the (leader) thread being resumed does not have in_infcall
set. Later, when the infcall finally finishes successfully, nothing
marks all threads back to stopped.
We can trigger the same problem on all targets by having a thread
other than the one that is running the infcall report a breakpoint hit
to infrun, and then have that breakpoint not cause a stop. That's
what the included test does.
The fix is to stop GDB from suppressing the set_running calls while
doing an infcall, and then set the threads back to stopped when the
call finishes, iff they were originally stopped before the infcall
started. (Note the MI *running/*stopped event suppression isn't
affected.)
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_supports_z_point_type): Enable for
Z_PACKET_SW_BP.
GDB uses a "brk #0" instruction to perform a software breakpoint while
GDBServer uses an illegal instruction. Both instructions should match.
When enabling support for the 'Z0' packet, we let GDBServer insert the
breakpoint instruction instead of GDB. And in case of permanent
breakpoints for example, GDB will check if a breakpoint is inserted in the
inferior with `program_breakpoint_here_p (gdbarch, address)', and
compare the instruction read from the inferior with the breakpoint
instruction.
On AArch64, instructions are always little endian so we need to

Last year a patch was submitted/approved/commited to eliminate
symbol_matches_domain which was causing this problem. It was later reverted
because it introduced a (severe) performance regression.
Recap:
(gdb) list
1 enum e {A,B,C} e;
2 int main (void) { return 0; }
3
(gdb) p e
Attempt to use a type name as an expression
The parser attempts to find a symbol named "e" of VAR_DOMAIN.
This gets passed down through lookup_symbol and (eventually) into
block_lookup_symbol_primary, which iterates over the block's dictionary
of symbols:
for (sym = dict_iter_name_first (block->dict, name, &dict_iter);
sym != NULL;
sym = dict_iter_name_next (name, &dict_iter))
{
if (symbol_matches_domain (SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym),
SYMBOL_DOMAIN (sym), domain))
return sym;
}
The problem here is that we have a symbol named "e" in both STRUCT_DOMAIN
and VAR_DOMAIN, and for languages like C++, Java, and Ada, where a tag name
may be used as an implicit typedef of the type, symbol_matches_domain ignores
the difference between VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN. As it happens, the
STRUCT_DOMAIN symbol is found first, considered a match, and that symbol is
returned to the parser, eliciting the (now dreaded) error message.
Since this bug exists specifically because we have both STRUCT and VAR_DOMAIN
symbols in a given block/CU, this patch rather simply/naively changes
block_lookup_symbol_primary so that it continues to search for an exact
domain match on the symbol if symbol_matches_domain returns a symbol
which does not exactly match the requested domain.
This "fixes" the immediate problem, but admittedly might uncover other,
related bugs. [Paranoia?] However, it causes no regressions (functional
or performance) in the test suite. A similar change has been made
to block_lookup_symbol for other cases in which this bug might appear.
The tests from the previous submission have been resurrected and updated.
However since we can still be given a matching symbol with a different domain
than requested, we cannot say that a symbol "was not found." The error
messages today will still be the (dreaded) "Attempt to use a type name..."

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

The implementation is pretty straightforward, with the only caveat being
that the "src", "cmd", "next" and "prev" entries get delibrately added
to the completion list even when the TUI has not yet been initialized
(i.e. has never been enabled during the session), since invoking the
"focus" command with these arguments already works when the TUI has not
yet been initialized.

GDB tries to skip prologue for .S files according to .debug_line but it then
places the breakpoint to a location where it is never hit.
This is because #defines in .S files cause prologue skipping which is
completely inappropriate, for s390x:

The default gdb sysroot now sets itself to "target:". This works for
most remote targets, but when using the simulator, this causes problems
as the sim will attempt to search for that path.
Update the remote-sim logic to skip this leading prefix when it is found
so that the sysroot isn't passed in as an invalid value.

The test
test_histsize_history_setting "99999999999999999999999999999999999" "unlimited"
was failing on i686 because the condition in init_history() for
determining whether to map a large GDBHISTSIZE value to infinity was
long var = strtol (tmpenv);
if (var > INT_MAX)
history_size = unlimited;
but this condition is never true on i686 because INT_MAX == LONG_MAX.
So in order to properly map large out-of-range values of GDBHISTSIZE to
infinity on targets where LONG_MAX > INT_MAX as well as on i686, we have
to instead change the above condition to
if (var > INT_MAX
|| (var == INT_MAX && errno == ERANGE))
history_size = unlimited;

have_ptrace_getregset is a tri-state variable (-1, 0, 1), and we have
some conditions like "if (have_ptrace_getregset)", which is not correct.
I'll explain why it is not correct in the following example. This fix
to this problem to replace the test (have_ptrace_getregset) to test
(have_ptrace_getregset == 1) or (have_ptrace_getregset == -1) etc.
However Doug thinks it hinders readability
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00692.html so I decide
to add a new enum tribool and change have_ptrace_getregset to it, in
order to make these tests more readable.
have_ptrace_getregset is initialised to -1, and is adjusted to 0 or 1 in
$ARCH_linux_read_description according to the capability of the kernel.
However, it is possible that have_ptrace_getregset is used before it is
set to 0 or 1, which means it is still -1. This is shown below.

Some simulators don't handle permanent breakpoints properly and will

unwanted effects.
When a permanent breakpoint is inserted, GDB will not attempt to insert

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment
variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its
history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

We still do not handle "set history size unlimited" correctly. In
particular, after writing to the history file, we truncate the history
even if it is unlimited.
This patch makes sure that we do not call history_truncate_file() if the
history is not stifled (i.e. if it's unlimited). This bug causes the
history file to be truncated to zero on exit when one has "set history
size unlimited" in their gdbinit file. Although this code exists in GDB
7.8, the bug is masked by a pre-existing bug that's been only fixed in

So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's
vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch
enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well.
The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector
arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values.
The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture,
such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available.
Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of
the new checks are KFAILed there.

In some cases tui_show_frame_info() may get called while the inferior's
terminal settings are still in effect. But when we call this function
we absolutely need to have our terminal settings in effect because the
function is responsible for redrawing TUI's windows following a change
in the selected frame or a change in the PC. If our terminal settings
are not in effect, the screen does not get redrawn properly, causing
temporary display artifacts (which can be fixed via ^L).
This scenario happens most prominently when stepping through a program
in TUI while a watchpoint is in effect.
Here is an example backtrace for when tui_show_frame_info() gets called
while target_terminal_is_inferior() == 1:

As a user of the target memory read/write interface, the MI code must
adjust its memory allocations to take into account the addressable memory
unitsize of the target.
gdb/ChangeLog:
mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_data_read_memory_bytes): Consider byte
size.
(mi_cmd_data_write_memory_bytes): Same.
New in v3:
* Change RSP documentation as well. The m, M and X packets now use
lengths in addressable memory units.
New in v2:
* Change wording: use byte for 8-bits chunks and addressable memory unit
for the unit of data associated to a single address.
* Introduce definition of addressable memory unit in the Memory
section.
This patch modifies the manual to clarify the MI, RSP and Python APIs in
regard to reading/writing memory on architectures with addressable
memory unit that are not 8 bits.
Care is taken to use the word "addressable memory unit" or "memory unit"
when referring to one piece of the smallest addressable size on the
current architecture and the word "byte" when referring to an 8-bits
data piece.
For MI, -data-{read,write}-memory are not modified, since they are
deprecated.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Data Manipulation): Clarify usage of
bytes and memory units for -data-{read,write}-memory-bytes.
(Packets): Same for m, M and X packets.
* python.texi (Inferiors In Python): Same for read_memory and
write_memory.
Bit mask ints are better to make enums as GDB already has support to
automatically decode them:

(gdb) p/x filterflags
$2 = 0x33
after this patch:
(gdb) p filterflags
$1 = (COREFILTER_ANON_PRIVATE | COREFILTER_ANON_SHARED | COREFILTER_ELF_HEADERS | COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE)

* data-directory/Makefile.in (SYSCALLS_FILES): Add aarch64-linux.xml.
This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id,
populated when an ELF or PE BFD is read.
gdb is updated to use that, and to use the build-id to find symbols for PE files
also.
There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file,
perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense?
On x86_64-pc-cygwin, gdb's sepdebug.exp changes:
-# of unsupported tests 1
+# of expected passes 90
I don't seem to get consistent testsuite runs on i686-linux-gnu, but there
don't appear to be any regressions.

Replace __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE conditional with __CYGWIN__
__COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE was added to Cygwin's headers in 2006.
Versions of Cygwin which don't define __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE are long obsolete.
Also see the thread starting at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00989.html for some discussion
Note that __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE should just be sizeof(CONTEXT) (which is a
platform constant), but isn't due to historical mistakes in Cygwin headers.

We previously specified a few known register groups for the 'tui reg'
command. Other register groups could be accessed, but only by using the
'tui reg next' command and cycling through all the groups.
This commit removes the hard coded sub-commands of 'tui reg' and instead
adds dynamic completion of sub-commands based on the architecturally
defined register groups, giving immediate access to all available
register groups.
There is still the 'next' and 'prev' commands for cycling through the
register groups if that's wanted.
The new code maintains the ability to only enter partial names for
register groups, which is something we got for free when using the
standard sub-command mechanism.
The register (and register group) completer has been changed to use
get_current_arch rather than using the architecture of the currently
selected frame. When the target is running, this is equivalent,
however, when the target is not running, using get_current_arch will
provide results from the default architecture.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* completer.c: Add arch-utils.h include.
(enum reg_completer_targets): New enum.
(reg_or_group_completer_1): New function containing old
reg_or_group_completer, add and use new parameter to control what

currently selected frame.
(reg_or_group_completer): Call new reg_or_group_completer_1.

If we are reading/writing from a memory object, the length represents

Types used for some variables could not be used for 32 bits, causing a

This patch adds a cast to force a quite compilation, but at the same
time it bails out in the case that the cast performed is not safe, i.e.
in the case where the debuggee is 64bit and debugger is 32bit.
Documentation was also affected, once a different version of texinfo the

While reimplementing <library-list/> I found from expat-2.0.1-11.fc15.x86_64:
warning: while parsing target library list (at line 1): Required attribute "version" of <library-list-svr4> not specified
I believe the same bug has to apply for existing FSF gdbserver but I do not

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/10/guide0.html?page=3 says:
In this case, the attribute is not required, but if it occurs, it must
have the specified value.
Which would suggest gdbserver is right but solib-target.c is wrong. One could
also make gdbserver explicit for the version (if those 14 bytes are not of

Intel(R) Memory protection bound information are located in register

bound registers are limited a table is used to provide storage for
bounds during run-time.

This commit fixes a typo in common/fileio.c where S_IWGRP was
misspelled as S_IWRGRP in a preprocessor conditional, causing
Host-I/O "vFile:fstat:" and File-I/O "Fstat" and "Ffstat"
responses to always indicate files were not group-writable
regardless of their actual status.
Valgrind GDB (vgdb) presents itself as a remote target but works on
the local filesystem. gdb_bfd_open contained a special case to make
vgdb work with "target:" sysroots, but the implementation meant that
GDB would fall back to the local filesystem if *any* to_fileio_open
method failed with ENOSYS for *any* reason. This commit moves the
vgdb special case to remote_filesystem_is_local to allow the fallback
to be restricted only to the specific case that remote file transfer
is unsupported. This commit also adds a warning which is displayed
the first time the fallback is used.

Currently inferior memory is allocated by inferior mmap() but it is never
deallocated; despite the injected objfile incl. its symbols is freed. This was
intentional so that one can do for example:
inferior:
char *str = "foo";
GDB:
(gdb) compile code str = "bar";
I believe later patches will be needed to introduce full control over keeping
vs. discarding the injected module as being discussed in:
compile: objfiles lifetime UI

Message-ID: <20150429135735.GA16974@host1.jankratochvil.net>
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-05/msg00007.html
As decided by Phil it is better not to leak inferior pages as users can
workaround the issue above for example by:
(gdb) compile code str = strdup ("bar");
I have checked that in fact gdb/doc/ (written by Phil) already expects the
injected code will be unmapped so that does not need to be changed:
compile code int ff = 5; p = &ff;
In this example, @code{p} would point to @code{ff} when the
@code{compile} command is executing the source code provided to it.
However, as variables in the (example) program persist with their
assigned values, the variable @code{p} would point to an invalid
location when the command exists.

I sent a patch in 2013 for this (incorrectly named =thread-created):
https://cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00129.html
Tom Tromey was ok with the change, but suggested to add a test as well.
Then I forgot about this patch until today. So here it is again, with the
corresponding test.
The problem is that the =thread-exited event does not appear when detaching
from a local process. It does appear with remote though. It's not a really
big deal, but I'd like it to be consistent.
Tested with local and remote Linux on my Ubuntu 14.04.

Initially there is some chain (let's say the longest one
but that doe snot matter). Consequently its elements from the middle are
being removed and there remains only some few unambiguous top and bottom ones.
The original idea why the comparison should be sharp ("<") was that if there
are multiple chains like (0xaddr show jmp instruction address):
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
then - such situation cannot exist - if two jmp instructions in "a" have the
same address they must also jump to the same address (*).
(*) jump to a computed address would be never considered for the DWARF
tail-call records.
So there could be:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x270) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
But then "a" frame itself is ambiguous and it must not be displayed.
I did not realize that there can be self-tail-call:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x280) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
which intersects to:
main(0x100) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And so if the first chain was chosen the
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
then the final intersection has callers+callees==length.
> for example, if CALLERS is 3 and
> CALLEES is 2, what does the chain look like?
main(0x100) -> x(0x150) -> y(0x200) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And if LENGTH is 7 then:
call_site[0] = main(0x100)
call_site[1] = x(0x150)
call_site[2] = y(0x200)
call_site[3] = garbage
call_site[4] = garbage
call_site[5] = a(0x200)
call_site[6] = d(0x400)

The native-extended-gdbserver target now supports fork events and
follow fork, but it does not yet support exec events. Some of the
tests in gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp depend on exec events. This patch
disables those tests for remote targets. We can re-enable these
once the exec event support goes in.
gdb/testsuite/
* gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp (main): Disable exec-dependent
tests for remote targets by checking is_target_gdbserver.
This patch fixes some intermittent test failures in
gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp where a vfork child would be (incorrectly)
resumed when handling the vfork event. In this case the result
was a subsequent event reported to the client side as a SIGTRAP
delivered to the as-yet-unknown child thread.
The new thread was resumed (incorrectly) in linux-low.c when
resume_stopped_resumed_lwps was called from
linux_wait_for_event_filtered after the vfork event had been
handled in handle_extended_wait.
Gdbserver/linux-low.c's add_thread function creates threads with
last_resume_kind == resume_continue by default. This field is
used by resume_stopped_resumed_lwps to decide whether to perform
the resume:
static void
resume_stopped_resumed_lwps (struct inferior_list_entry *entry) {
struct thread_info *thread = (struct thread_info *) entry;
struct lwp_info *lp = get_thread_lwp (thread);
if (lp->stopped
&& !lp->status_pending_p
&& thread->last_resume_kind != resume_stop
&& thread->last_status.kind == TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE)
{
So the fix is to make sure to set thread->last_resume_kind to
resume_stop. Here we do that for new fork children in
gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait.
In addition, it seemed prudent to initialize lwp_info.status_pending_p
for the new fork child. I also rearranged the initialization code
so that all of the lwp_info initialization was together, rather than
intermixed with thread_info and process_info initialization.
Tested native, native-gdbserver, native-extended-gdbserver on
x86_64 GNU/Linux.

* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Initialize

This patch fixes a couple of failures in gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp for
extended-remote targets. The failures were the result of the
verbose/debug "Detaching..." messages in infrun.c:follow_fork_inferior
not matching what was expected in the extended-remote case.
The path modifies the ptids used in the messages to ensure that they
print "process nnn" instead of (possibly) "Thread nnn.nnn". The
detach is a process-wide operation, so we need to use a process-
style ptid regardless of what type of ptid target_pid_to_str returns.
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux, native, remote, extended-remote.
gdb/
* infrun.c (follow_fork_inferior): Ensure the use of
process-style ptids (pid,0,0) in verbose/debug "Detaching"

On ARM systems, gdb must determine which style of breakpoint to use
(see the comments at the beginning of gdb/arm-linux-tdep.c). In
arm_gdbarch_init we only attempt to extract the eabi version from the
ELF binary if it is a ELFOSABI_NONE binary. If the binary is
ELFOSABI_GNU instead, we end up defaulting to the old style OABI
syscall breakpoint instruction. On a Linux kernel built without
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT, this triggers a SIGILL in ld when attempting to
execute any ELFOSABI_GNU program.

This patch adds a test case to test the process record for some of

In each function, GDB turns on process record, and single step until
program goes to the end of the function. Then, single step backward.
In each of forward single step and backward single step, the contents
of registers are saved, and test compares them. If there is any
differences, a FAIL is emitted.
The test is flexible, and we can test other instructions easily in the

gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (tui_set_layout_for_display_command): Ensure
buf_ptr is freed.
Calling tui_enable too early in tui_layout_command can leave the tui in
an enabled state if the user has entered an invalid layout name.
Instead postpone the call to tui_enable until later in
tui_set_layout_for_display_command just before the layout is changed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (tui_layout_command): Move call to tui_enable
into ...
(tui_set_layout_for_display_command): ...here, before calling
tui_set_layout. Only set the layout if gdb has not already
entered the TUI_FAILURE state.
Add layout name completion for the layout command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (layout_completer): New function.
(_initialize_tui_layout): Set completer on layout command.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/completion.exp: Add test for completion of layout
names.
The layout command supports the layout names $FREGS, $GREGS, $SREGS,
and $REGS. The intention of these layout names was to display the tui
register window with a specific set of registers.
First, these layout names no longer work, and haven't for a while, using
any of them will just result in switching to the general register view.
Second there is already the command 'tui reg GROUP' command to set the
displayed register set to GROUP, so making the layout command also
control the register set feels like unnecessary overloading of the
layout command.
This commit removes all code relating to supporting the register set
specific names from the layout command. Afterwards the user can select
an available layout using the layout command, and control the choice of
register set using the 'tui reg GROUP' command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (tui_set_layout): Remove
tui_register_display_type parameter. Remove all checking of this
parameter, and reindent function. Update header comment.

Add a new predicate procedure to the gdb.exp library 'skip_tui_tests',

Make use of this predicate in the gdb.base/tui-layout.exp test as an
example.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (skip_tui_tests): New proc.

When using a conditional breakpoint where the condition evaluated
to false a large number of times before the program stopped,
a user reported that GDB's memory consumption was growing very
quickly until it ran out of memory.
The problem was tracked down to temporary struct values being created
each time the program stops and handles an inferior event. Because
the breakpoint condition usually evaluates to false, there can be
a fairly large number of such events to be handled before we eventually
return the prompt to the user (which is when we would normally purge
such values).
This patch fixes the issue by making sure that handle_inferior_event
releases all new values created during its execution.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): Renames handle_inferior_event.
(handle_inferior_event): New function.

It is obvious why that happens, dummy_frame_pop() will call compile objfile
cleanup which will free that objfile and NAME then becomes a stale pointer.

It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

Currently the code fetches _gdb_expr address/types at multiple places, guessing

While the patch tries to clean up the code it is still horrible due to the

For a reason unknown to me GDB was using -w instead of -Wall for 'compile code'.
The problem is later patch for 'compile printf' really needs some warnings to
be able to catch for example missing format string parameters:
(gdb) compile printf "%d\n"
GCC does not seem to be able to cancel -w (there is nothing like -no-w).
Besides that I think even 'compile code' can benefit from -Wall.
That #ifndef change in print_one_macro() is needed otherwise we get
macro-redefinition warnings for the GCC built-in macros (as -w is no
longer in effect). For example, without the #ifndef/#endif one gets:
compile -r -- void _gdb_expr(){int i = 5;}^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:4:0: warning: "__FILE__" redefined [-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined]^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:5:0: warning: "__LINE__" redefined^M
...
It makes more sense to pick the inferior's version of the macros, hence
#ifndef instead of #undef.
That new testsuite XFAIL is there as if one changes the struct definition to be
compliant with cv-qualifiers (to prevent the warnings):
struct struct_type {
- struct struct_type *selffield;
+ volatile struct struct_type *selffield;
only then GCC/GDB will hit the crash, described in that GDB PR 18202.

In Ada, index types of arrays can be enumeration types, and enumeration
types can be non-contiguous. In which case the address of elements is
not given by the value of the index, but by its position in the enumeration
type.
In other words, in this example:
type Color is (Blue, Red);
for Color use (Blue => 8, Red => 12, Green => 16);
type A is array (Color) of Integer;
type B is array (1 .. 3) of Integer;
Arrays of type A and B will have the same layout in memory, even if
the enumeration Color has a hole in its set of integer value.
Since recently support for such a feature was in ada-lang.c, where the
array was casted to a regular continuous index range. We were losing
the information of index type. And this was not quite working for
subranges in variable-length fields; their bounds are expressed using
the integer value of the bounds, not its position in the enumeration,
and there was some confusion all over ada-lang.c as to whether we had
the position or the integer value was used for indexes.
The idea behind this patch is to clean this up by keeping the real
representation of these array index types and bounds when representing
the value, and only use the position when accessing the elements or
computing the length. This first patch fixes the printing of such
an array.
To the best of my knowledge, this feature only exists in Ada so it
should only affect this language.

In the case of non bit-packed arrays, GNAT does not generate its

implementation type and its XA description. It shall be skipped
as well.

The PPC64 buildbot has been showing timeouts in mi-nsmoribund.exp,
like this:
(...)
-thread-info
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp: thread state: all running except the breakpoint thread (timeout)
... and I can reproduce this on gcc110 (PPC64) on the gcc compile
farm.
That is, the test sends "-thread-info" to GDB, but GDB never replies
back.
The problem is that these machines are too fast for gdb. :-)
That test has a few threads running the same tight loop, and
constantly hitting a thread-specific breakpoint that needs to be
stepped over. If threads trip on breakpoints fast enough that
linux-nat.c's event pipe associated with SIGCHLD is constantly being
written to, even if the stdin file descriptor also has an event to
handle, gdb never gets to it. because linux-nat.c's pipe comes first
in the set of descriptors served by the poll/select code in the event
loop.
Fix this by having the event loop serve file event sources in
round-robin-like fashion, similarly to how its done in
gdb_do_one_event.
Unfortunately, the poll and the select variants each need their own
fixing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20 (poll and select variants), and PPC64
Fedora 18. Fixes the timeout in the PPC64 machine in the compile farm
that times out without this, and I won't be surprised if it fixes
other random timeouts in other tests.
(gdbserver's copy of the event-loop doesn't need this (yet), as it
still pushes all ready events to an event queue. That is, it hasn't
had 70b66289 merged yet. We should really merge both event-loop.c
copies into a single shared file, but that's for another day.)

The first kind of error is caused by the embedded struct definition,
so move it out of the parent struct.
The second kind of error is caused by forward declaring a static
global variable, which works in C, but not in C++ (or C with
-fno-common). Make it using extern instead, like done in other
similar cases.

Consider the following declarations:
type Signed_Small is new Integer range - (2 ** 5) .. (2 ** 5 - 1);
type Signed_Simple_Array is array (1 .. 4) of Signed_Small;
pragma Pack (Signed_Simple_Array);
SSA : Signed_Simple_Array := (-1, 2, -3, 4);
GDB currently print its value incorrectly for the elements that
are negative:
(gdb) print ssa
$1 = (65535, 2, 1048573, 4)
(gdb) print ssa(1)
$2 = 65535
(gdb) print ssa(2)
$3 = 2
(gdb) print ssa(3)
$4 = 1048573
(gdb) print ssa(4)
$5 = 4
What happens is that the sign-extension is not working because
we're trying to do left shift with a negative count. In
ada_value_primitive_packed_val, we have a loop which populates
the extra bits of the target (unpacked) value, after extraction
of the data from the original (packed) value:
while (ntarg > 0)
{
accum |= sign << accumSize;
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
!!! -> accumSize -= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
accum >>= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
ntarg -= 1;
targ += delta;
}
At each iteration, accumSize gets decremented by HOST_CHAR_BIT,
which can easily cause it to become negative, particularly on
little endian targets, where accumSize is at most HOST_CHAR_BIT - 1.
This causes us to perform a left-shift operation with a negative
accumSize at the next loop iteration, which is undefined, and
acutally does not produce the effect we wanted (value left untouched)
when the code is compiled with GCC.
This patch fixes the issue by simply setting accumSize to zero
if negative.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Make sure
accumSize is never negative.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

... added a number of declarations which do not compile when cross-
compiling GDBserver on arm-android. The problem comes from type
prfpregset_t not being declared:
/[...]/gdbserver/gdb_proc_service.h:98:47:
error: unknown type name 'prfpregset_t'
After searching through the includes of the install we have,
I could not find that type being declared anywhere. So I did
the same as for prgregset_t, and created the typedef if the
type isn't declared.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add prfpregset_t BFD_HAVE_SYS_PROCFS_TYPE check.
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.
* gdb_proc_service.h [HAVE_PRFPREGSET_T] (prfpregset_t):
Declare typedef.
The function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() has an old workaround (from 1999)
for buggy terminals and/or ncurses library that don't return page
up/down keys as single characters. Because the workaround is so old, I
think the bug it is targetting is no longer relevant anymore.
But more importantly, the workaround is itself buggy: it 1) performs a
blocking call to wgetch() and 2) if the key returned by wgetch() does
not make up a relevant key sequence it throws away the input instead of
pushing it back via ungetch(). And indeed the workaround breaks Alt-key
sequences under TERM=xterm because of bug #2.
So this patch removes the buggy workaround and tidies up the function
accordingly.
I personally tested this change on a recent xterm (with TERM=xterm) in
Fedora 20 and had no problems with having ncurses properly interpret
page up/down keys. And Alt-key sequences now work when TERM=xterm too.
gdb/ChangeLog:

As this change was ported to GDB 7.9.1, the NEWS entry is moved to

The control variable win_resized must be cleared before responding to
it.
Otherwise there is a small window where another SIGWINCH might occur in
between the handling of an earlier SIGWINCH and the clearing of
win_resized, at which point win_resized would be set (again) by the
signal handler. Shortly thereafter we would clear win_resized even
though we only handled the earlier SIGWINCH but not the latest one.
This chain of events is all avoided if we clear win_resized first.

This patch is a comprehensive fix for PR 17820 which reports that
using "set history size unlimited" inside one's gdbinit file doesn't
really work.
There are three small changes in this patch. The most important change
this patch makes is to decode the argument of the "size" subcommand
using add_setshow_zuinteger_unlimited_cmd() instead of using
add_setshow_uinteger_cmd(). The new decoder takes an int * and maps
unlimited to -1 whereas the old decoder takes an unsigned int * and maps
unlimited to UINT_MAX. Using the new decoder simplifies our handling of
unlimited and makes it easier to interface with readline which itself
expects a signed-int history size.
The second change is the factoring of the [stifle|unstifle]_history logic
into a common function which is now used by both init_history() and
set_history_size_command(). This is technically the change that fixes
the PR itself.
Thirdly, this patch initializes history_size_setshow_var to -2 to mean
that the variable has not been set yet. Now init_history() tests for -2
instead of 0 to determine whether to give the variable a default value.
This means that having "set history size 0" in one's gdbinit file will
actually keep the history size at 0 and not reset it to 256.

This patch implements catchpoints for fork events on extended-remote
Linux targets.
Implementation appeared to be straightforward, requiring four new functions
in remote.c to implement insert/remove of fork/vfork catchpoints. These
functions are essentially stubs that just return 0 ('success') if the
required features are enabled. If the fork events are being reported, then
catchpoints are set and hit.
However, there are some extra issues that arise with catchpoints.
1) Thread creation reporting -- fork catchpoints are hit before the
follow_fork has been completed. When stopped at a fork catchpoint
in the native implementation, the new process is not 'reported'
until after the follow is done. It doesn't show up in the inferiors
list or the threads list. However, in the gdbserver case, an
'info threads' while stopped at a fork catchpoint will retrieve the
new thread info from the target and add it to GDB's data structures,
prior to the follow operations. Because of this premature report,
things on the GDB side eventually get very confused.
So in remote.c:remote_update_thread_list, we check to see if there
are any pending fork parent threads. If there are we remove the
related fork child thread from the thread list sent by the target.
2) Kill process before fork is followed -- on the native side in
linux-nat.c:linux_nat_kill, there is some code to handle the case where
a fork has occurred but follow_fork hasn't been called yet. It does
this by using the last status to determine if a follow is pending, and
if it is, to kill the child task. The use of last_status is fragile
in situations like non-stop mode where other events may have occurred
after the fork event. This patch identifies a fork parent
in remote.c:extended_remote_kill in a way similar to that used in
thread creation reporting above. If one is found, it kills the new
child as well.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote. Tested the
case of killing the forking process before the fork has been followed
manually.

This patch implements follow-fork for vfork on extended-remote Linux targets.
The implementation follows the native implementation as much as possible.
Most of the work is done on the GDB side in the existing code now in
infrun.c. GDBserver just has to report the events and do a little
bookkeeping.
Implementation includes:
* enabling VFORK events by adding ptrace options for VFORK and VFORK_DONE
to linux-low.c:linux_low_ptrace_options.
* handling VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
and reporting them to GDB.
* including VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in the predicate
linux-low.c:extended_event_reported.
* adding support for VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in RSP by adding stop
reasons "vfork" and "vforkdone" to the 'T' Stop Reply Packet in both
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and gdb/remote.c.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements the architecture-specific pieces of follow-fork
for remote and extended-remote Linux targets, which in the current
implementation copyies the parent's debug register state into the new
child's data structures. This is required for x86, arm, aarch64, and
mips.
This follows the native implementation as closely as possible by
implementing a new linux_target_ops function 'new_fork', which is
analogous to 'linux_nat_new_fork' in linux-nat.c. In gdbserver, the debug
registers are stored in the process list, instead of an
architecture-specific list, so the function arguments are process_info
pointers instead of an lwp_info and a pid as in the native implementation.
In the MIPS implementation the debug register mirror is stored differently
from x86, ARM, and aarch64, so instead of doing a simple structure assignment
I had to clone the list of watchpoint structures.
Tested using gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp on x86, and ran manual tests
on a MIPS board and an ARM board. Aarch64 hasn't been tested.

This patch implements basic support for follow-fork and detach-on-fork on
extended-remote Linux targets. Only 'fork' is supported in this patch;
'vfork' support is added n a subsequent patch. This patch depends on
the previous patches in the patch series.
Sufficient extended-remote functionality has been implemented here to pass
gdb.base/multi-forks.exp, as well as gdb.base/foll-fork.exp with the
catchpoint tests commented out. Some other fork tests fail with this
patch because it doesn't provide the architecture support needed for
watchpoint inheritance or fork catchpoints.
The implementation follows the same general structure as for the native
implementation as much as possible.
This implementation includes:
* enabling fork events in linux-low.c in initialize_low and
linux_enable_extended_features
* handling fork events in gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
- when a fork event occurs in gdbserver, we must do the full creation
of the new process, thread, lwp, and breakpoint lists. This is
required whether or not the new child is destined to be
detached-on-fork, because GDB will make target calls that require all
the structures. In particular we need the breakpoint lists in order
to remove the breakpoints from a detaching child. If we are not
detaching the child we will need all these structures anyway.
- as part of this event handling we store the target_waitstatus in a new
member of the parent lwp_info structure, 'waitstatus'. This
is used to store extended event information for reporting to GDB.
- handle_extended_wait is given a return value, denoting whether the
handled event should be reported to GDB. Previously it had only
handled clone events, which were never reported.
* using a new predicate in gdbserver to control handling of the fork event
(and eventually all extended events) in linux_wait_1. The predicate,
extended_event_reported, checks a target_waitstatus.kind for an
extended ptrace event.
* implementing a new RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet stop reason: "fork", in
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and remote.c.
* implementing new target and RSP support for target_follow_fork with
target extended-remote. (The RSP components were actually defined in
patch 1, but they see their first use here).
- remote target routine remote_follow_fork, which just sends the 'D;pid'
detach packet to detach the new fork child cleanly. We can't just
call target_detach because the data structures for the forked child
have not been allocated on the host side.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements gdbserver routines to clone the breakpoint lists of a
process, duplicating them for another process. In gdbserver, each process
maintains its own independent breakpoint list. When a fork call creates a
child, all of the breakpoints currently inserted in the parent process are
also inserted in the child process, but there is nothing to describe them
in the data structures related to the child. The child must have a
breakpoint list describing them so that they can be removed (if detaching)
or recognized (if following). Implementation is a mechanical process of
just cloning the lists in several new functions in gdbserver/mem-break.c.
Tested by building, since none of the new functions are called yet. This
was tested with another patch in the series that implements follow-fork.

This patch implements a mechanism for GDB to determine whether fork
events are supported in gdbserver. This is a preparatory patch for
remote fork and exec event support.
Two new RSP packets are defined to represent fork and vfork event
support. These packets are used just like PACKET_multiprocess_feature
to denote whether the corresponding event is supported. GDB sends
fork-events+ and vfork-events+ to gdbserver to inquire about fork
event support. If the response enables these packets, then GDB
knows that gdbserver supports the corresponding events and will
enable them.
Target functions used to query for support are included along with
each new packet.
In order for gdbserver to know whether the events are supported at the
point where the qSupported packet arrives, the code in nat/linux-ptrace.c
had to be reorganized. Previously it would test for fork/exec event
support, then enable the events using the pid of the inferior. When the
qSupported packet arrives there may not be an inferior. So the mechanism
was split into two parts: a function that checks whether the events are
supported, called when gdbserver starts up, and another that enables the
events when the inferior stops for the first time.
Another gdbserver change was to add some global variables similar to
multi_process, one per new packet. These are used to control whether
the corresponding fork events are enabled. If GDB does not inquire
about the event support in the qSupported packet, then gdbserver will
not set these "report the event" flags. If the flags are not set, the
events are ignored like they were in the past. Thus, gdbserver will
never send fork event notification to an older GDB that doesn't
recognize fork events.
Tested on Ubuntu x64, native/remote/extended-remote, and as part of
subsequent patches in the series.

In my last commit to make gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp be more robust
regarding using arrays in the global namespace, I cleared the
"coredump_var_addr" array like this:
set coredump_var_addr ""
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
This causes DejaGNU to complain because the variable is first set as
non-array, and the used as an array. The correct way to do this is to
unset the variable using:
unset -nocomplain coredump_var_addr
# use coredump_var_addr as an array...
The "-nocomplain" part is necessary because if the variable doesn't
exist "unset" will not error.
Tested on Fedora 20 x86_64.

<3><82f>: Abbrev Number: 0
Because the upper bound is dynamic, we try to resolve it.
As it happens, the upper-bound resolution for this range type
works fine. What breaks is when we try to resolve this range
type's target type, which is:
<2><830>: Abbrev Number: 16 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<831> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x7fb>
<835> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xc7b): reprod__obj_t__T4s___XDLU_1__selected_flights_length
<839> DW_AT_type : <0x766>
<83d> DW_AT_artificial : 1
It is actually pretty much the same as the first subrange type,
so you might ask why this is causing trouble, when the resolution
of the previous DIE worked like a charm???
Well, for that, we need to backtrack a bit, and notice that, ahead
of the DW_TAG_structure_type's DIE, there is the following DIE:
<1><7e1>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_typedef)
<7e2> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xbae): reprod__obj_t__T5s
<7e6> DW_AT_decl_file : 2
<7e7> DW_AT_decl_line : 17
<7e8> DW_AT_type : <0x849>
... and that DIE references an array type...
<2><849>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<84a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xbae): reprod__obj_t__T5s
<84e> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x864>
<852> DW_AT_type : <0x748>
<856> DW_AT_sibling : <0x864>
... whose subrange is...
<3><85a>: Abbrev Number: 15 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<85b> DW_AT_type : <0x830>
<85f> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x7fb>
... where the subrange's base type is the DW_TAG_subrange_type DIE
that is causing problem.
In summary, we process the typedef first, which causes us to process
the second subrange BEFORE we process the struct DIE itself, and
therefore the struct's discriminent (DW_TAG_member #1). As a result,
while trying to handle the reference to that DW_TAG_member #1 as
the upper bound of the second range type, we do...
case DW_AT_data_member_location:
{
[...]
baton->referenced_type = get_die_type (target_die->parent,
target_cu);
... where target_die->parent (DW_TAG_member #1) hasn't been processed
yet, and thus get_die_type returns NULL.
This is what later causes us problems trying to find the right address
to use as the base address for our field, which then triggers the
error message we are seeing.
This patch fixes the issue by calling read_type_die instead of
get_die_type. If the DIE has already been processed, then this
is the same as get_die_type. If not, the it'll get the parent
die to be read, and then get its type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (attr_to_dynamic_prop)
<DW_AT_data_member_location>: Use read_type_die isntead of
get_die_type.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
No testcase, unfortunately, as the reproducer was given to us by
a customer, and it's been otherwise surprisingly difficult to
reproduce the same error outside of that reproducer.
We observed on x86-windows that trying to call a function from
GDB leads to a mysterious "Invalid cast" error. This can be
observed in gdb.ada/float_param.exp:
(gdb) call set_long_double(1, global_small_struct, 4.0)
Invalid cast.
This happens because the 3rd parameter, a Long_Long_Float, is
actually passed wrapped inside a PAD structure. As documented
in GNAT's exp_dbug.ads, PAD types are simple wrappers that GNAT
uses to handle types with size or alignment constraints.
We already support those when printing an object encapsulated
in a PAD type, but not when trying to pass an argument that
is wrapped inside a PAD type. As a result, what happens is that
call_function_by_hand ends up with an argument with a type
that looks incompatible with the expected type of the argument.
The error comes when trying to push the arguments in inferior
memory, while trying to coerce each one of them to their expected
types (in value_arg_coerce).
Note that the problem is not specific to Windows, but so far, this is
the only platform where we've seen this happen.

Hi,
We see some fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp when we do remote
gdbserver testing, like what I did for arm/aarch64 linux testing or
run it with board file remote-gdbserver-on-localhost
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost coredump-filter.exp'
we find that this line in the test doesn't work as expected,
remote_exec target "sh -c \"echo $filter_flag > /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter\""
although such pattern has been used in gdb testsuite somewhere else,
but the special thing here is that we redirect the output to
/proc/$ipid/coredump_filter on the remote target. DejaGNU will
redirect the output from the remote target to local, and looks tcl
gets confused by these two redirection.
After trying pass different parameters to remote_exec and hacking
remote_exec/rsh_exec/local_exec, I got no success, I decide
to give up, and try to update /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter by the c
code directly.
This patch adds a c function set_coredump_filter to update
coredump_filter, and GDB calls it.

GDBserver steps over breakpoint if the condition is false, but if target
doesn't support hardware single step, the step over is very simple, if
not incorrect, in linux-arm-low.c:
/* We only place breakpoints in empty marker functions, and thread locking
is outside of the function. So rather than importing software single-step,
we can just run until exit. */
static CORE_ADDR
arm_reinsert_addr (void)
{
struct regcache *regcache = get_thread_regcache (current_thread, 1);
unsigned long pc;
collect_register_by_name (regcache, "lr", &pc);
return pc;
}
and linux-mips-low.c does the same. GDBserver sets a breakpoint at the
return address of the current function, resume and wait the program hits
the breakpoint in order to achieve "breakpoint step over". What if
program hits other user breakponits during this "step over"?
It is worse if the arm/thumb interworking is considered. Nowadays,
GDBserver arm backend unconditionally inserts arm breakpoint,
/* Define an ARM-mode breakpoint; we only set breakpoints in the C
library, which is most likely to be ARM. If the kernel supports
clone events, we will never insert a breakpoint, so even a Thumb
C library will work; so will mixing EABI/non-EABI gdbserver and
application. */
(const unsigned char *) &arm_breakpoint,
(const unsigned char *) &arm_eabi_breakpoint,
note that the comments are no longer valid as C library can be compiled
in thumb mode.
When GDBserver steps over a breakpoint in arm mode function, which
returns to thumb mode, GDBserver will insert arm mode breakpoint by
mistake and the program will crash. GDBserver alone is unable to
determine the arm/thumb mode given a PC address. See how GDB does
it in arm-tdep.c:arm_pc_is_thumb.
After thinking about how to teach GDBserver inserting right breakpoint
(arm or thumb) for a while, I reconsider it from a different direction
that it may be unreasonable to run target-side conditional breakpoint for
targets without hardware single step. Pedro also pointed this out here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00337.html
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook
supports_conditional_breakpoints, and only reply
";ConditionalBreakpoints+" if it is true. On linux targets,
supports_conditional_breakpoints returns true if target has hardware
single step, on other targets, (win32, lynx, nto, spu), set it to NULL,
because conditional breakpoint is a linux-specific feature.

On 64-bit S390 platforms, for programs compiled with -m31, it could
happen that GDB inadvertently cleared the inferior's 31-bit addressing
mode bit and left the inferior running in 24-bit addressing mode. In
particular this occurred with checkpoint.exp, when the "restore"
command needed to create a new regcache copy: At the time when the
PSWM register was copied over, the addressing mode bit was taken from
the PSWA register, which was still zero since it had not been copied
yet. And when the PSWA register was copied, the addressing mode was
not updated again.
The fix affects fill_gregset, where the bits "belonging" to each of
the PSWA and PSWM registers are now carefully separated. The
addressing mode bit is no longer touched when writing PSWM, and --
more importantly -- it *is* written when writing PSWA.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* s390-linux-nat.c (fill_gregset): Avoid relying on the PSWA
register in the regcache when treating the PSWM register, and vice
versa.
Since watch_thread_num.exp was changed to use access watchpoints, the

access watchpoints. This patch skips the test case on such targets.

The "info dll", an alias of the "info sharedlibrary" command, is
currently only defined in windows native versions. This patch makes
it universally available by moving the alias declaration to solib.c,

GDB reports the wrong function name for frame #0. We also get the same
kind of error in the "Breakpoint 1, foo_o224_021 () [...]" message.
In both cases, the function name should be foo_o224_021.child1.child2,
and the parameters should be "s=...".
What happens is that the inlined frame handling does not handle well
the case where an inlined function is calling an out-of-line function
which was declared inside the inlined function's scope.
In particular, looking first at the inlined-frame sniffer when applying
to frame #0:
/* Calculate DEPTH, the number of inlined functions at this
location. */
depth = 0;
cur_block = frame_block;
while (BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block))
{
if (block_inlined_p (cur_block))
depth++;
cur_block = BLOCK_SUPERBLOCK (cur_block);
}
What happens is that cur_block starts as the block associated
to child2, which is not inlined. We shoud be stopping here, but
instead, we keep walking the superblock chain, which takes us
all the way to Foo_O224_021's block, via Child2's block. And
since Child1 was inlined, we end up with a depth count of 1,
wrongly making GDB think that frame #0 is an inlined frame.
Same kind of issue inside skip_inline_frames.
The fix is to stop checking for inlined frames as soon as we see
a block corresponding to a function which is not inlined. This is
the behavior we now obtain:
(gdb) run

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/out_of_line_in_inlined.exp: Add run and "bt" tests.
Consider the following code, which defines a function, Child2,
which is itself nested inside Child1:
procedure Foo_O224_021 is
O1 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
procedure Child1 is
O2 : constant Object_Type := Get_Str ("Foo");
function Child2 (S : String) return Boolean is -- STOP
begin
for C of S loop
Do_Nothing (C);
if C = 'o' then
return True;
end if;
end loop;
return False;
end Child2;
R : Boolean;
begin
R := Child2 ("Foo");
R := Child2 ("Bar");
R := Child2 ("Foobar");
end Child1;
begin
Child1;
end Foo_O224_021;
On x86_64-linux, when compiled at -O2, GDB is unable to insert
a breakpoint on Child2:
% gnatmake -g -O2 foo_o224_021
% gdb foo_o224_021
(gdb) b child2
Function "child2" not defined.
(gdb) b foo_o224_021.child1.child2
Function "foo_o224_021.child1.child2" not defined.
The problem is caused by the fact that GDB did not create a symbol
for Child2, and this, in turn, is caused by the fact that the compiler
decided to inline Child1, but not Child2. The DWARF debugging info
first provides an abstract instance tree for Child1...
<3><1b7b>: Abbrev Number: 29 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x23f8): foo_o224_021__child1
<1b82> DW_AT_inline : 1 (inlined)
<1b83> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1c01>
... where that subprogram is given the DW_AT_inline attribute.
Inside that function there is a lexical block which has no PC
range (corresponding to the fact that this is the abstract tree):
<4><1b87>: Abbrev Number: 30 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
... inside which our subprogram Child2 is described:
<5><1b92>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1b93> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2452): foo_o224_021__child1__child2
<1b99> DW_AT_type : <0x1ab1>
<1b9d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x402300
<1ba5> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x57
[...]
Then, later on, we get the concrete instance tree, starting at:
<3><1c5e>: Abbrev Number: 41 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<1c5f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b7b>
<1c63> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0x4025fd
<1c6b> DW_AT_ranges : 0x150
... which refers to Child1. One of that inlined subroutine children
is the concrete instance of the empty lexical block we saw above
(in the abstract instance tree), which gives the actual address
range for this inlined instance:
<5><1c7a>: Abbrev Number: 43 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
<1c7b> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b87>
<1c7f> DW_AT_ranges : 0x180
This is the DIE which provides the context inside which we can
record Child2. But unfortunately, GDB does not take the abstract
origin into account when handling lexical blocks, causing it
to miss the fact that this block contains some symbols described
in the abstract instance tree. This is the first half of this patch:
modifying GDB to follow DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes for
lexical blocks.
But this not enough to fix the issue, as we're still unable to
break on Child2 with just that change. The second issue can be
traced to the way inherit_abstract_dies determines the list of
DIEs to inherit from. For that, it iterates over all the DIEs in
the concrete instance tree, and finds the list of DIEs from the
abstract instance tree that are not referenced from the concrete
instance tree. As it happens, there is one type of DIE in the
concrete instance tree which does reference Child2's DIE, but
in fact does otherwise define a concrete instance of the reference
DIE; that's (where <0x1b92> is Child2's DIE):
<6><1d3c>: Abbrev Number: 35 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site)
<1d3d> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4026a4
<1d45> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x1b92>
So, the second part of the patch is to modify inherit_abstract_dies
to ignore DW_TAG_GNU_call_site DIEs when iterating over the concrete
instance tree.
This patch also includes a testcase which can be used to reproduce
the issue. Unfortunately, for it to actually pass, a smal patch in
GCC is also necessary to make sure that GCC provides lexical blocks'
DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes from the concrete tree back to
the abstract tree. We hope to be able to submit and integrate that
patch in the GCC tree soon. Meanwhile, a setup_xfail has been added.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/out_of_line_in_inlined: New testcase.
This is an issue which I noticed while working on trying to print
an array of variant records. For instance, trying to print "A1",
an array of elements whose size is variable, defined as follow
(see gdb.ada/var_rec_arr testcase):
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
function Ident (R : Record_Type) return Record_Type;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
The debugger sometimes prints the array as follow:
(gdb) print A1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""), (i => 0, s => ""))
The problem happens inside the part of the loop printing the array's
elements, while trying to count the number of consecutive elements
that have the same value (in order to replace them by the "<repeats
nnn times>" message when the number exceeds a threshold). In particular,
in ada-valprint.c::val_print_packed_array_elements:
elttype = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
eltlen = TYPE_LENGTH (check_typedef (elttype));
while (...)
{
if (!value_contents_eq (v0, value_embedded_offset (v0),
v1, value_embedded_offset (v1),
eltlen))
break;
The value comparison is performed using value_contents_eq but makes
the assumption that elttype is not dynamic, which is not always true.
In particular, in the case above, elttype is dynamic and therefore
its TYPE_LENGTH changes from element to element.
As it happens in this case, the eltlen is zero, which causes the call
to value_contents_eq to return true, and therefore GDB thinks all
3 elements of the array are equal.
This patch fixes the issue by making sure that both v0 and v1, which
are values whose type we expect to be resolved, have identical lengths.
If not, then the two elements of the array cannot possibly have the
same value and we do not even need to do the binary comparison.
Unfortunately, this is still not enough to get GDB to print the correct
value for our array, because the assumption that v0 and v1 have a type
which has been resolved is actually not met. So, the second part of
the patch modifies the function that constructed the values to make
sure dynamic types do get resolved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (val_print_packed_array_elements): Delete
variable "len". Add a type-length check when comparing two
consecutive elements of the array. Use the element's actual
length in call to value_contents_eq.
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Always return
a value whose type has been resolved.
Consider the following declarations:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
A2 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 2, S => "AB"),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 0, S => <>));
Compiled with -fgnat-encodings=minimal, and trying to print
one element of our array, valgrind reports an invalid memory
access. On certain GNU/Linux boxes, malloc even reports it as
well, and causes GDB to crash.
(gdb) print a2(1)
*** glibc detected *** /[...]/gdb:
malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0a30ba48 ***
[crash]
The invalid memory access occurs because of a simple buffer
overflow in ada_value_primitive_packed_val. When this function
is called, it is given a bit_size of 128 (or 16 bytes), which
corresponds to the stride of our array. But the actual size of
each element depends on its value. In particular, A2(1) is a record
whose size is only 6 bytes.
What happens in our example is that we start building a new value
(v) where the element is to be unpacked, with any of its dynamic
properties getting resolved as well. We then unpack the data into
this value's buffer:
unpacked = (unsigned char *) value_contents (v);
[...]
nsrc = len;
[...]
while (nsrc > 0)
{
[...]
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
[...]
targ += delta;
[...]
nsrc -= 1;
[...]
}
In the loop above, targ starts at zero (for LE architectures),
and len is 16. With delta being +1, we end up iterating 16 times,
writing 16 bytes into a 6-bytes buffer.
This patch fixes the issue by adjusting BIT_SIZE and recomputing
LEN after having resolved our type if the resolved type turns out
to be smaller than bit_size.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Recompute
BIT_SIZE and LEN if the size of the resolved type is smaller
than BIT_SIZE * HOST_CHAR_BIT.
Consider the following (Ada) array...
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is declared as follow:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
Trying to print the value of each element individually does not
always work. Printing the value of the first one does:
(gdb) p a1(1)
$1 = (i => 0, s => "")
But printing the value of the subsequent ones often does not.
For instance:
(gdb) p a1(2)
$2 = (i => 1, s => "") <<<--- s should be "A"
(gdb) p a1(3)
$3 = (i => 2, s => "") <<<--- s should be "AB"
I traced the problem to ada_value_primitive_packed_val,
which is trying to perform the array subscripting by
extracting the value of the corresponding array element
into a buffer where the contents is now byte-aligned.
The element type that ada_value_primitive_packed_val gets passed
is a dynamic type. As it happens, that dynamic type can get resolved
thanks to:
v = value_at (type, value_address (obj));
type = value_type (v);
However, obj represents the array, so the address given in the call
to value_at represents the value of the first element. As a result,
the solution of component S's upper bound always gets resolved based
on the value of component I in the first element of the array, whose
value is 0, thus leading to GDB mistakely resolving the element type
where S's upper bound is always 0.
The proper fix would be to systematically resolve the element type
first. But, this requires us to extract-and-realign the element's
value so as to be able to pass it as "valaddr" to resolve_dynamic_type.
In the meantime, it's easy to make the situation a little better by
passing "value_address (obj) + offset" as the object address. This
only works when BIT_OFFSET is nul, but that should be the case when
the element type is anything but a scalar, which seems to be the only
situation where it seems important to resolve the type now. And we're
not that worse off otherwise.
But we'll try to find a better solution in a separate patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Use a more
correct address in call to value_at. Adjust call to
value_address accordingly.
This is another required step towards trying to print the value of
an array of variant records. For instance:
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is an array of records whose size is variable:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
What happens is that the ada-valprint modules gets passed an array
whose element type is not resolved yet (since each element of the
array needs to be resolved separately). the module then recurses,
and eventually gets called with the first element of the array.
But because the element hasn't been resolved yet, we end up having
trouble printing its value soon after.
This patch fixes the issue by calling resolve_dynamic_type before
trying to print it.
With this patch, GDB is finally able to print the complete value
for variable "A1":
(gdb) p a1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => ""), (i => 1, s => "A"), (i => 2, s => "AB"))
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Resolve TYPE before trying
to print it.
This is the second part of enhancing the debugger to print the value
of arrays of records whose size is variable when only standard DWARF
info is available (no GNAT encoding). For instance:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
Currently, GDB prints the following output:
(gdb) p a1
$1 = (
The error happens while the ada-valprint module is trying to print
the value of an element of our array. Because of the fact that
the array's element (type Record_Type) has a variant size, the DWARF
info for our array provide the array's stride:
<1><749>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<74a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb6d): pck__T18s
<74e> DW_AT_byte_stride : 16
<74f> DW_AT_type : <0x6ea>
And because our array has a stride, ada-valprint treats it the same
way as packed arrays (see ada-valprint.c::ada_val_print_array):
if (TYPE_FIELD_BITSIZE (type, 0) > 0)
val_print_packed_array_elements (type, valaddr, offset_aligned,
0, stream, recurse,
original_value, options);
The first thing that we should notice in the call above is that
the "valaddr" buffer and the associated offset (OFFSET_ALIGNED)
is passed, but that the corresponding array's address is not.
This can be explained by looking inside val_print_packed_array_elements,
where we see that the function unpacks each element of our array from
the buffer alone (ada_value_primitive_packed_val), and then prints
the resulting artificial value instead:
v0 = ada_value_primitive_packed_val (NULL, valaddr + offset,
(i0 * bitsize) / HOST_CHAR_BIT,
(i0 * bitsize) % HOST_CHAR_BIT,
bitsize, elttype);
[...]
val_print (elttype, value_contents_for_printing (v0),
value_embedded_offset (v0), 0, stream,
recurse + 1, v0, &opts, current_language);
Of particular interest, here, is the fact that we call val_print
with a null address, which is OK, since we're providing a buffer
instead (value_contents_for_printing). Also, providing an address
might not always possible, since packing could place elements at
boundaries that are not byte-aligned.
Things go south when val_print tries to see if there is a pretty-printer
that could be applied. In particular, one of the first things that
the Python pretty-printer does is to create a value using our buffer,
and the given address, which in this case is null (see call to
value_from_contents_and_address in gdbpy_apply_val_pretty_printer).
value_from_contents_and_address, in turn immediately tries to resolve
the type, using the given address, which is null. But, because our
array element is a record containing an array whose bound is the value
of one of its elements (the "s" component), the debugging info for
the array's upper bound is a reference...
<3><71a>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<71b> DW_AT_type : <0x724>
<71f> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x703>
... to component "i" of our record...
<2><703>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_member)
<704> DW_AT_name : i
<706> DW_AT_decl_file : 2
<707> DW_AT_decl_line : 6
<708> DW_AT_type : <0x6d1>
<70c> DW_AT_data_member_location: 0
... where that component is located at offset 0 of the start
of the record. dwarf2_evaluate_property correctly determines
the offset where to load the value of the bound from, but then
tries to read that value from inferior memory using the address
that was given, which is null. See case PROP_ADDR_OFFSET in
dwarf2_evaluate_property:
val = value_at (baton->offset_info.type,
pinfo->addr + baton->offset_info.offset);
This triggers a memory error, which then causes the printing to terminate.
Since there are going to be situations where providing an address
alone is not going to be sufficient (packed arrays where array elements
are not stored at byte boundaries), this patch fixes the issue by
enhancing the type resolution to take both address and data. This
follows the same principle as the val_print module, where both
address and buffer ("valaddr") can be passed as arguments. If the data
has already been fetched from inferior memory (or provided by the
debugging info in some form -- Eg a constant), then use that data
instead of reading it from inferior memory.
Note that this should also be a good step towards being able to handle
dynamic types whose value is stored outside of inferior memory
(Eg: in a register).
With this patch, GDB isn't able to print all of A1, but does perform
a little better:
(gdb) p a1
$1 = ((i => 0, s => , (i => 1, s => , (i => 2, s => )
There is another issue which is independent of this one, and will
therefore be patched separately.

Consider the following (Ada) variable...
A1 : Array_Type := (1 => (I => 0, S => <>),
2 => (I => 1, S => "A"),
3 => (I => 2, S => "AB"));
... where Array_Type is an array of records whose size is variable:
subtype Small_Type is Integer range 0 .. 10;
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
Trying to print the value of this array currently results in the following
error:
(gdb) p a1
Cannot access memory at address 0x61c000
What happens in this case, is that the compiler describes our array
as an array with a specific stride (and bounds being static 1..3):
<1><749>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<74a> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb6d): pck__T18s
<74e> DW_AT_byte_stride : 16
<74f> DW_AT_type : <0x6ea>
<2><757>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<758> DW_AT_type : <0x75e>
<75c> DW_AT_upper_bound : 3
This is because we cannot use, in this case, the size of the record
to determine that stride, since the size of the record depends on
its contents. So the compiler helps us by providing that stride.
The problems start when trying to resolve that type. Because the elements
contained in that array type are dynamic, the array itself is considered
dynamic, and thus we end up creating a resolved version of that array.
And during that resolution, we were not handling the case where the array
had a stride. See gdbtypes.c::resolve_dynamic_array...
return create_array_type (copy_type (type),
elt_type,
range_type);
As a result, we created an array whose stride was based on the size
of elt_type, which a record whose size isn't static and irrelevant
regardless.
This patch fixes is by calling create_array_type_with_stride instead.
As it happens, there is another issue for us to be able to print
the value of our array, but those are independent of this patch
and will be handled separately. For now, the patch allows us to
get rid of the first error, and the output is now:
(gdb) p a1

gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp sets two breakpoints/watchpoints on the

watchpoints can fit in one HW debug register, so the error message

Because target_ops interface can_use_hardware_watchpoint doesn't

Note that if I don't "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 1" in

This patch is to add a check to skip_hw_watchpoint_multi_tests

In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/pause.c, __libc_pause calls
__syscall_pause,
static int
__syscall_pause (void)
{
sigset_t set;
int rc =
INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigprocmask, 4, SIG_BLOCK, NULL, &set, _NSIG / 8);
if (rc == 0)
rc = INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigsuspend, 2, &set, _NSIG / 8);
return rc;
}
int
__libc_pause (void)
{
if (SINGLE_THREAD_P)
return __syscall_pause (); <--- tail call
int oldtype = LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC ();
int result = __syscall_pause ();
LIBC_CANCEL_RESET (oldtype);
return result;
}
and GDB unwinder is confused by the GCC optimized code,
(gdb) disassemble pause

Note that the program stops in __syscall_pause, but its symbol is
stripped in glibc, so GDB doesn't know where the program stops.
__syscall_pause is a tail call in __libc_pause, so it returns to main
instead of __libc_pause. As a result, the backtrace is like,
#0 0x0000007fb7ebca88 in raise () from /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
#1 0x0000007fb7ebfefc in abort () from /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

looks GDB does nothing wrong here. I looked back at the test case
gdb.base/relativedebug.exp, which was added
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-10/msg00305.html
This test was indented to test the problem that "backtraces no longer
display some libc functions" after separate debug info is installed.
IOW, it makes few sense to test against libc which doesn't have debug
info at all, such as my case.
This patch is to tweak the test case to catch the output of
"info shared", if "(*)" is found for libc.so, which means libc doesn't
have debug info, then skip the test.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-30 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/relativedebug.exp: Invoke gdb command
"info sharedlibrary", and if libc.so doesn't have debug info,
skip the test.
There are targets GDB thinks support hardware watchpoints, but in reality they
don't. Though it may seem that hardware watchpoint creation was successful,
the actual insertion of such watchpoint will fail when GDB moves the inferior.

We can avoid these errors/FAILs by checking the board data and switching to
software watchpoints if the board does not support hardware watchpoints.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-29 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: Switch to software watchpoints if
the target does not support hardware watchpoints.
This is another case of the testcase not handling memory write errors that
happen on some targets (QEMU) when GDB attempts to modify an address that
should contain a breakpoint, for example.
The following patch handles this and prevents spurious failures from
happening. It also adds a foreach loop to avoid duplication of code
and hardcoded patterns.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-29 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/break-always.exp: Abort testing if writing to memory
causes an error.
This commit allows NULL to be passed as the int *fd argument
to exec_file_find and solib_find to simplify use cases where
the caller does not require the file to be opened.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* solib.c (solib_find_1): Allow fd argument to be NULL.
(exec_file_find): Update comment.
(solib_find): Likewise.
* exec.c (exec_file_locate_attach): Use NULL as fd
argument to exec_file_find to avoid having to close
the opened file.
* infrun.c (follow_exec): Likewise.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR python/18299
* python/lib/gdb/printing.py (register_pretty_printer): Handle
name or __name__ attributes. Handle gdb module as first argument.

* gdb.python/py-pp-registration.exp: ... here. New file.
