We're now doing a vsyscall/vDSO address range lookup whenever we fetch
shared libraries, either through an explicit "info shared", or when
the target reports new libraries have been loaded, in order to filter
out the vDSO from glibc's DSO list. Before we started doing that, GDB
would only ever lookup the vsyscall's address range once in the
process's lifetime.
Looking up the vDSO address range requires an auxv lookup (which is
already cached, so no problem), but also reading the process's
mappings from /proc to find out the vDSO's mapping's size. That
generates extra RSP traffic when remote debugging. Particularly
annoying when the process's mappings grow linearly as more libraries
are mapped in, and we went through the trouble of making incremental
DSO list updates work against gdbserver (when the probes-based dynamic
linker interface is available).
The vsyscall/vDSO is mapped by the kernel when the process is
initially mapped in, and doesn't change throughout the process's
lifetime, so we can cache its address range.
Caching at this level brings GDB back to one and only one vsyscall
address range lookup per process.

With upstream glibc, GDB prints:
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
A bug's been filed for glibc a few years back:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13097
but it's still not resolved. It's not clear whether there's even
consensus that this is indeed a glibc bug. It would actually be nice
if GDB also listed the vDSO in the shared library list, but there are
some design considerations with that:
- the vDSO is mapped by the kernel, not userspace, therefore we
should load its symbols right from the process's start of life,
even before glibc / the userspace loader sets up the initial DSO
list. The program might even be using a custom loader or no
loader.
- that kind of hints at that solib.c should handle retrieving shared
library lists from more than one source, and that symfile-mem.c's
loading of the vDSO would be converted to load and relocate the
vDSO's bfd behind the target_so_ops interface.
- and then, once glibc links in the vDSO to its DSO list, we'd need
to either:
a) somehow hand over the vDSO from one target_so_ops to the other
b) simply keep hiding glibc's entry.
And then b) seems the simplest.
With that in mind, this patch simply discards the vDSO from glibc's
reported shared library list.
We can match the vDSO address range with the addresses found iterating
the dynamic linker list, to tell which dynamic linker entry is the
vDSO.

We have a case in solib-svr4.c where we could reuse symfile-mem.c's
vDSO range lookup. Since symfile-mem.c is not present in all
configurations solib-svr4.c is, move that lookup to a gdbarch hook.
This has the minor (good) side effect that we stop even trying the
target_auxv_search lookup against targets that don't have a concept of
a vDSO, in case symfile-mem.c happens to be linked in the build

...
/* optional copying of args in r2-r7 to r10-r13. */
/* Probably only in optimized case but legal action for prologue. */
else if ((inst & 0xff00) == 0x4600 /* 46SD mov rD, rS */

A helper function called `add_offset_16' is used by
`extended_mips16_next_pc' to calculate branch destinations. Weirdly
enough the helper does not do what the name suggests and rather than
doing its work for a 16-bit immediate branch offset it makes its
calculations on a 26-bit immediate target used by JAL and JALX
instructions. Furthermore the JAL/JALX calculation is only needed once
by `extended_mips16_next_pc' while a 16-bit branch offset calculation
is made inline several times across `extended_mips16_next_pc'.
This change therefore replaces the contents of `add_offset_16' with the
16-bit branch offset calculation and updates `extended_mips16_next_pc'
accordingly.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp: continue to breakpoint: func
-- notice the breakpoint adjustment messages that are already a bad
sign. These happen when a breakpoint is requested in a branch delay
slot and are not supposed to happen unless explicitly requested with an
address pointing to a branch delay slot instruction. No symbol or line
debug information is supposed to direct GDB to place a breakpoint in a
delay slot.
Here's how `main' looks like:
00400718 <main>:
400718: 64f5 save 40,ra,s0-s1
40071a: 1a00 01a8 jal 4006a0 <func>
40071e: 0104 addiu s1,sp,16
400720: 1a00 01b7 jal 4006dc <func+0x3c>
400724: 6702 move s0,v0
400726: e049 addu v0,s0,v0
400728: 65b9 move sp,s1
40072a: 6473 restore 24,ra,s0-s1
40072c: e8a0 jrc ra
40072e: 6500 nop
-- so 0x400725 is the MIPS16 instruction address of the first MOVE
instruction seen above, in a delay slot of the preceding JAL instruction
indeed. This test case arranges for `main' to have no debug information
so it is one of the heuristic prologue scanners, `mips16_scan_prologue'
specifically in this case, that is responsible for finding the right
location for the breakpoint to place.
In this case the prologue really ends with the ADDIU instruction,
reordered into the delay slot of the first JAL instruction. Of course
we can't place the breakpoint for `main' after it as by doing so we'll
let `func' to be called before hitting this breakpoint. So the
breakpoint has to go at the JAL instruction instead, or 0x40071b.
To make a general case out of it we must never consider any jump or
branch instruction to be a part of a function's prologue. In the
presence of a jump or branch at the beginning of a function the furthest
instruction examined for the purpose of constructing frame information
can be one in the delay slot of that jump or branch if present, and
otherwise -- that is when the jump or branch is compact and has no delay
slot -- the instruction immediately preceding the jump or branch.
This change implements that approach across prologue scanners for the
three instruction ISAs. In implementing it I have factored out code
from the existing `*_instruction_has_delay_slot' handlers to be shared
and a side effect for the microMIPS implementation is it now always
fetches the second 16-bit halfword of 32-bit instructions even if it
eventually is not going to be needed. I think it's an acceptable
tradeoff for the purpose of code sharing.
To make things more consistent I also carried logic from
`micromips_scan_prologue' over to the other two scanners to accept (and
ignore) a single non-prologue non-control transfer instruction reordered
by the compiler into the prologue. While doing this I simplified the
exit path from the scan loop such that `end_prologue_addr' is set only
once. This made some concerns expressed in comments no longer
applicable, although even before they were not valid.
I have not fixed the logic around `load_immediate_bytes' in
`mips32_scan_prologue' though, it remains broken, although I took care
not to break it more. An approach similar to one taken for handling
larger stack adjustments in `micromips_scan_prologue' will have to be
eventually implemented here.
For regression testing I used my usual choice of the mips-linux-gnu
target and the following multilibs:
-EB
-EB -msoft-float
-EB -mips16
-EB -mips16 -msoft-float
-EB -mmicromips
-EB -mmicromips -msoft-float
-EB -mabi=n32
-EB -mabi=n32 -msoft-float
-EB -mabi=64
-EB -mabi=64 -msoft-float
and the -EL variants of same.
That removed gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp failures across MIPS16
multilibs, the test log now shows:

this change in place this test fails for MIPS16 multilibs consistently

previously.

In installing minimal symbols for ELF shared library trampolines
we "forget" to make individual symbols special where required. This
leads to problems on the MIPS target using microMIPS SVR4 lazy stubs.
Lacking the special annotation these stubs are treated as standard
MIPS code and this makes GDB insert the wrong software breakpoint
instruction, breaking e.g. single-stepping through these stubs. This
is not a very frequent scenario as microMIPS SVR4 lazy stubs are
typically only used in shared libraries with the main executable
using PLT, handled elsewhere. Still it triggers e.g. when a software
watchpoint has been installed. The symptom is SIGILL or the program
going astray, depending on the endianness. Disassembly of these stubs
is also wrong.
* elfread.c (elf_symtab_read): Also mark solib trampoline minimal

changed the way breakpoints are inserted and removed such that
`insert_bp_location' can now be called with the breakpoint being handled
already in place, while previously the call was only ever made for
breakpoints that have not been put in place. This in turn caused an
issue for software breakpoints and targets for which a breakpoint's
`placed_address' may not be the same as the original requested address.
The issue is `insert_bp_location' overwrites the previously adjusted
value in `placed_address' with the original address, that is only
replaced back with the correct adjusted address later on when
`gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc' is called. Meanwhile there's a window
where the value in `placed_address' does not correspond to data stored
in `shadow_contents', leading to incorrect instruction bytes being
supplied when `one_breakpoint_xfer_memory' is called to supply the
instruction overlaid by the breakpoint.
And this is exactly what happens on the MIPS target with software
breakpoints placed in microMIPS code. In this case not only
`placed_address' is not the original address because of the ISA bit, but
`mips_breakpoint_from_pc' has to read the original instruction to
determine which one of the two software breakpoint instruction encodings
to choose as well. The 16-bit encoding is used to replace 16-bit
instructions and similarly the 32-bit one is used with 32-bit
instructions, to satisfy branch delay slot size requirements.
The mismatch between `placed_address' and the address data in
`shadow_contents' has been obtained from leads to the wrong encoding
being used in some cases, which in the case of a 32-bit software
breakpoint instruction replacing a 16-bit instruction causes corruption
to the adjacent following instruction and leads the debug session astray
if execution reaches there e.g. with a jump.
To address this problem I made the change below, that adds a
`reqstd_address' field to `struct bp_target_info' and leaves
`placed_address' unchanged once it has been set. This ensures data in
`shadow_contents' is always consistent with `placed_address'.
This approach also has this good side effect that all the places that
examine the breakpoint's address see a consistent value, either
`reqstd_address' or `placed_address', as required. Currently some
places see either the original or the adjusted address in
`placed_address', depending on whether they have been called before
`gdbarch_remote_breakpoint_from_pc' or afterwards. This is in
particular true for subsequent calls to
`gdbarch_remote_breakpoint_from_pc' itself, e.g. from
`one_breakpoint_xfer_memory'. This is also important for places like
`find_single_step_breakpoint' where a breakpoint's address is compared
to the raw value of $pc.

On MIPS64 little endian, attempting an assignment to a bit field
that lives in a register yields the wrong result. It just corrupts
the data in the register depending on the specific position of the
bit field inside the structure.

=== gdb Summary ===
Now, GDB knows how to do bit field assignment properly, but MIPS is
one of those architectures that uses a hook for the register-to-value
conversion. Although we can properly tell when the type being passed
is a structure or union, we cannot tell when it is a bit field,
because the bit field data lives in a value structure. Such data
only lives in a "type" structure when the parent structure is being
referenced, thus you can collect them from the flds_bnds members.
A bit field type structure looks pretty much the same as any other
primitive type like int or char, so we can't distinguish them.
Forcing more fields into the type structure wouldn't help much,
because the type structs are shared.

Trying to debug gdb with itself,
I stumbled on the following complaints
Unknown symbol type 0x2e
or
Unknown symbol type 0x4e
It appears that those corrspond to N_BNSYM and N_ENSYM,
which are MacOS extensions of stabs debugging format.
But these extensions have been used inside gcc probalby
for a while already, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-08/msg00157.html
As the only purpose of these entries is to allow for removal
of stabs information if the function is removed,
it can be safely ignored by GDB.
This patch simply adds those two entry types to the list
of ignored entry type in read_dbx_symtab function.
Is this OK?

Commit a25a5a45 (Fix "breakpoint always-inserted off"; remove
"breakpoint always-inserted auto") regressed non-stop remote
debugging.
This was exposed by mi-nsintrall.exp intermittently failing with a
spurious SIGTRAP.
The problem is that when debugging with "target remote", new threads
the target has spawned but have never reported a stop aren't visible
to GDB until it explicitly resyncs its thread list with the target's.
For example, in a program like this:
int
main (void)
{
pthread_t child_thread;
pthread_create (&child_thread, NULL, child_function, NULL);
return 0; <<<< set breakpoint here
}
If the user sets a breakpoint at the "return" statement, and runs the
program, when that breakpoint hit is reported, GDB is only aware of
the main thread. So if we base the decision to remove or insert
breakpoints from the target based on whether all the threads we know
about are stopped, we'll miss that child_thread is running, and thus
we'll remove breakpoints from the target, even through they should
still remain inserted, otherwise child_thread will miss them.
The break-while-running.exp test actually should also be exposing this
thread-list-out-of-synch problem. That test sets a breakpoint while
the main thread is stopped, but other threads are running. Because
other threads are running, the breakpoint is supposed to be inserted
immediately. But, unless something forces a refetch of the thread
list, like, e.g., "info threads", GDB won't be aware of the other
threads that had been spawned by the main thread, and so won't insert
new or old breakpoints in the target. And it turns out that the test
is exactly doing an explicit "info threads", masking out the
problem... This commit adjust the test to exercise the case of not
issuing "info threads". The test then fails without the GDB fix.
In the ni-nsintrall.exp case, what happens is that several threads hit
the same breakpoint, and when the first thread reports the stop,
because GDB wasn't aware other threads exist, all threads known to GDB
are found stopped, so GDB removes the breakpoints from the target.
The other threads follow up with SIGTRAPs too for that same
breakpoint, which has already been removed. For the first few
threads, the moribund breakpoints machinery suppresses the SIGTRAPs,
but after a few events (precisely '3 * thread_count () + 1' at the
time the breakpoint was removed, see update_global_location_list), the
moribund breakpoint machinery is no longer aware of the removed
breakpoint, and the SIGTRAP is reported as a spurious stop.
The fix is naturally then to stop assuming that if no thread in the
list is executing, then the target is fully stopped. We can't know
that until we fully sync the thread list. Because updating the thread
list on every stop would be too much RSP traffic, I chose instead to
update it whenever we're about to present a stop to the user.
Actually updating the thread list at that point happens to be an item
I had added to the local/remote parity wiki page a while ago:
Native GNU/Linux debugging adds new threads to the thread list as
the program creates them "The [New Thread foo] messages". Remote
debugging can't do that, and it's arguable whether we shouldn't even
stop native debugging from doing that, as it hinders inferior
performance. However, a related issue is that with remote targets
(and gdbserver), even after the program stops, the user still needs
to do "info threads" to pull an updated thread list. This, should
most likely be addressed, so that GDB pulls the list itself, perhaps
just before presenting a stop to the user.
With that in place, the need to delay "Program received signal FOO"
was actually caught by the manythreads.exp test. Without that bit, I
was getting:
[Thread 0x7ffff7f13700 (LWP 4499) exited]
[New Thread 0x7ffff7f0b700 (LWP 4500)]

That is, I was now getting "New Thread" lines after the "Program
received signal" line, and the test doesn't expect them. As the
number of new threads discovered before and after the "Program
received signal" output is unbounded, it's much nicer to defer
"Program received signal" until after synching the thread list, thus
close to the "switching to thread" output and "current frame/source"

Warning:

(gdb)
That is, GDB is trying to insert a breakpoint at 0x400664, after the
exec, and then that address happens to not be mapped at all in the new
image.
The problem is that update_breakpoints_after_exec is creating
breakpoints, which ends up in update_global_location_list immediately
inserting breakpoints if "breakpoints always-inserted" is "on".
update_breakpoints_after_exec is called very early when we see an exec
event. At that point, we haven't loaded the symbols of the new
post-exec image yet, and thus haven't reset breakpoint's addresses to
whatever they may be in the new image. All we should be doing in
update_breakpoints_after_exec is deleting breakpoints that no longer
make sense after an exec. So the fix removes those breakpoint
creations.
The question is then, if not here, where are those breakpoints
re-created? Turns out we don't need to do anything else, because at
the end of follow_exec, we call breakpoint_re_set, whose tail is also
creating exactly the same breakpoints update_breakpoints_after_exec is
currently creating:
breakpoint_re_set (void)
{
...
create_overlay_event_breakpoint ();
create_longjmp_master_breakpoint ();
create_std_terminate_master_breakpoint ();
create_exception_master_breakpoint ();
}
A new test is added to exercise this.

A patch I wrote made GDB pull the thread list sooner when debugging

remote_trace_start should probably start by making sure the remote
current thread matches inferior_ptid (calling set_general_thread), but
still, reducing unnecessary bouncing is a good idea. It happens
because the memory/symbol/breakpoint routines use
switch_to_program_space_and_thread to do something in the right
context and then revert back to the previously current thread.
The fix is to simply make any_thread_of_process,
find_inferior_for_program_space, etc. give preference to the current

We warn, saying that the insertion can't be done, but then proceed
attempting the insertion anyway, and in case of manually added
regions, the insert actually succeeds.
This is a regression; GDB used to fail inserting the breakpoint. More
below.
I stumbled on this as I wrote a test that manually sets up a read-only
memory region with the "mem" command, in order to test GDB's behavior
with breakpoints set on read-only regions, even when the real memory
the breakpoints are set at isn't really read-only. I wanted that in
order to add a test that exercises software single-stepping through
read-only regions.
Note that the memory regions that target_memory_map returns aren't
like e.g., what would expect to see in /proc/PID/maps on Linux.
Instead, they're the physical memory map from the _debuggers_
perspective. E.g., a read-only region would be real ROM or flash
memory, while a read-only+execute mapping in /proc/PID/maps is still
read-write to the debugger (otherwise the debugger wouldn't be able to
set software breakpoints in the code segment).
If one tries to manually write to memory that falls within a memory
region that is known to be read-only, with e.g., "p foo = 1", then we
hit a check in memory_xfer_partial_1 before the write mananges to make
it to the target side.
But writing a software/memory breakpoint nowadays goes through
target_write_raw_memory, and unlike when writing memory with
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY, nothing on the TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY path
checks whether we're trying to write to a read-only region.
At the time "breakpoint auto-hw" was added, we didn't have the
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY vs TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY target object
distinction yet, and the code path in memory_xfer_partial that blocks
writes to read-only memory was hit for memory breakpoints too. With
GDB 6.8 we had:
warning: cannot set software breakpoint at readonly address 0000000000443943
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x443943: Input/output error.
So I started out by fixing this by adding the memory region validation
to TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY too.
But later, when testing against GDBserver, I realized that that would
only block software/memory breakpoints GDB itself inserts with
gdb/mem-break.c. If a target has a to_insert_breakpoint method, the
insertion request will still pass through to the target. So I ended
up converting the "cannot set breakpoint" warning in breakpoint.c to a
real error return, thus blocking the insertion sooner.
With that, we'll end up no longer needing the TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY
changes once software single-step breakpoints are converted to real
breakpoints. We need them today as software single-step breakpoints
bypass insert_bp_location. But, it'll be best to leave that in as
safeguard anyway, for other direct uses of TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY.

It also clarifies the comments a bit. One might think we need a GDB

(GDB rejects target descriptions that explicitly specify the

build system.
A few .dat files are listed as targets for generation that shouldn't.
The target descriptions these files are built from aren't used by
GDBserver. They're fallback descriptions GDB itself has baked in.
Remove them from the list of .dat files to be generated, otherwise a
plain "make" under src/gdb/features/ generates new .dat files that
aren't even in the tree today.

This reverts commit a4d9ba85 - 'AARCH64: Change cpsr type to be
64bit.'.
Even though Linux's ptrace exposes CPSR as 64-bit, CPSR is really
32-bit, and basing GDB's fundamentals on a particular OS's ptrace(2)
implementation is a bad idea.
In addition, while that commit intended to fix big endian Aarch64, it
ended up breaking floating point debugging against GDBserver, for both
big and little endian, because it changed the CPSR to be 64-bit in the
features/aarch64-core.xml file, but missed regenerating the
regformats/aarch64.dat file. If we generate it now, we see this:
diff --git c/gdb/regformats/aarch64.dat w/gdb/regformats/aarch64.dat
index afe1028..0d32183 100644

IOW, that commit left regformats/aarch64.dat still considering CPSR as
32-bits. regformats/aarch64.dat is used by GDBserver for its internal
regcache layout, and for the g/G packet register block. See the
generated aarch64.c file in GDBserver's build dir.
So the target description xml file that GDBserver reports to GDB is
now claiming that CPSR is 64-bit, but what GDBserver actually puts in
the g/G register packets is 32-bits. Because GDB thinks CPSR is
64-bit (because that's what the XML description says), GDB will be
reading the remaining 32-bit bits of CPSR out of v0 (the register
immediately afterwards), and then all the registers that follow CPSR
in the register packet end up wrong in GDB, because they're being read
from the wrong offsets...

* features/aarch64-core.xml (cpsr): Change back to 32-bit.
* features/aarch64.c: Regenerate.
This patch reorganizes the code that implements follow-fork and
detach-on-fork in preparation for implementation of those features for the
extended-remote target. The function linux-nat.c:linux_child_follow_fork
contained target-independent code mixed in with target-dependent code. The
target-independent pieces need to be accessible for the host-side
implementation of follow-fork for extended-remote Linux targets.
The changes are fairly mechanical. A new routine, follow_fork_inferior,
is implemented in infrun.c, containing those parts of
linux_child_follow_fork that manage inferiors and the inferior list. The
parts of linux_child_follow_fork that deal with LWPs and target-specifics
were left in-place. Although the order of some operations was changed, the
resulting functionality was not.
Modifications were made to the other native target follow-fork functions,
inf_ttrace_follow_fork and inf_ptrace_follow_fork, that should allow them
to work with follow_fork_inferior. Some other adjustments were necessary
in inf-ttrace.c. The changes to inf-ttrace.c and inf-ptrace.c were not
tested.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_follow_fork): Remove target-independent
code so as to work with follow_fork_inferior.
* inf-ttrace.c (inf_ttrace_follow_fork): Ditto.
(inf_ttrace_create_inferior): Remove reference to
inf_ttrace_vfork_ppid.
(inf_ttrace_attach): Ditto.
(inf_ttrace_detach): Ditto.
(inf_ttrace_kill): Use current_inferior instead of
inf_ttrace_vfork_ppid.
(inf_ttrace_wait): Eliminate use of inf_ttrace_vfork_ppid, report
TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE event, delete HACK that switched the
inferior away from the parent.
* infrun.c (follow_fork): Call follow_fork_inferior instead of
target_follow_fork.
(follow_fork_inferior): New function.
(follow_inferior_reset_breakpoints): Make function static.
* infrun.h (follow_inferior_reset_breakpoints): Remove declaration.
* linux-nat.c (linux_child_follow_fork): Move target-independent
code to infrun.c:follow_fork_inferior.
Now that all instances of the regset_from_core_section gdbarch method
have been replaced by the new iterator method, delete the obsolete
method from the gdbarch interface. Adjust all invocations and
references to it.

* gdbarch.sh (regset_from_core_section): Remove gdbarch method.
* gdbarch.c: Regenerate.
* gdbarch.h: Likewise.
* corelow.c (sniff_core_bfd): Drop presence check for deleted
gdbarch method 'regset_from_core_section'.

regset == NULL and regset_from_core_section is defined.
(get_core_registers): Drop check for deleted method.
* procfs.c (procfs_do_thread_registers): Adjust comment.
Now that all Linux targets use the regset iterator, the fall back to

NULL unless there is a regset iterator.
(linux_make_corefile_notes_1): Remove.
(linux_init_abi): Replace reference to linux_make_corefile_notes_1
by linux_make_corefile_notes.
* linux-tdep.h (linux_make_corefile_notes): Remove prototype.
Now that all users of the target method 'fbsd_make_corefile_notes'
have been converted to the version in fbsd-tdep.c, the old method is
removed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-nat.c (find_signalled_thread, find_stop_signal)

sizeof_fpregset.
* shnbsd-tdep.c (shnbsd_init_abi): Set tdep field

For Nios II GNU/Linux targets, no longer define the gdbarch method
'regset_from_core_section', but the iterator method instead.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* nios2-linux-tdep.c (NIOS2_GREGS_SIZE): New macro.
(nios2_regset_from_core_section): Remove.
(nios2_iterate_over_regset_sections): New.
(nios2_linux_init_abi): Adjust gdbarch initialization.
Don't define the 'regset_from_core_section' method, but the iterator
method instead. Do this for GNU/Linux- as well as
Net/OpenBSD-targets. In the case of GNU/Linux this should enable
non-native use of the 'generate-core-file' command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* alpha-linux-tdep.c (alpha_linux_regset_from_core_section): Remove.
(alpha_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections): New.
(alpha_linux_init_abi): Adjust gdbarch initialization.
* alphabsd-tdep.h (alphanbsd_regset_from_core_section): Remove
prototype.
(alphanbsd_iterate_over_regset_sections): New prototype.
* alphafbsd-tdep.c (alphafbsd_init_abi): Add comment for missing
fbsd_init_abi invocation.
* alphanbsd-tdep.c (alphanbsd_supply_gregset): Move below

(alphanbsd_iterate_over_regset_sections): New.
(alphanbsd_init_abi): Adjust gdbarch initialization.
* alphaobsd-tdep.c (alphaobsd_init_abi): Likewise.
Don't define the 'regset_from_core_section' method, but the iterator
method instead. This slightly reduces the code and enables non-native
use of the 'generate-core-file' command.
Also, when all instances of 'regset_from_core_section' are replaced,
it can be dropped from the gdbarch interface.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c (aarch64_linux_regset_from_core_section):
Remove.
(aarch64_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections): New.
(aarch64_linux_init_abi): Adjust gdbarch initialization.
This creates a new version of the FreeBSD core file note generation
logic in the new target-dependent file "fbsd-tdep.c". The new version
is mostly copied from "fbsd-nat.c", but uses the iterator instead of
regset_from_core_section and defines fbsd_make_corefile_notes as a
gdbarch method instead of a target method.
Consecutive architecture-dependent changes exploit the new version,
migrating away from the target method. When all FreeBSD targets are
changed, the target method can go away.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-tdep.c: New file.
* fbsd-tdep.h: New file.
* Makefile.in (ALL_TARGET_OBS): Add fbsd-tdep.o.
(HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add fbsd-tdep.h.
(ALLDEPFILES): Add fbsd-tdep.c.
This adds the 'regset' parameter to the iterator callback.
Consequently the 'regset_from_core_section' method is dropped for all
targets that provide the iterator method.
This change prepares for replacing regset_from_core_section
everywhere, thereby eliminating one gdbarch interface. Since the
iterator is usually no more complex than regset_from_core_section
alone, targets that previously didn't define core_regset_sections will
then gain multi-arch capable core file generation support without
increased complexity.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (iterate_over_regset_sections_cb): Add regset
parameter.
* gdbarch.h: Regenerate.
* corelow.c (sniff_core_bfd): Don't sniff if gdbarch has a regset
iterator.
(get_core_register_section): Add parameter 'regset' and use it, if
set. Add parameter 'min_size' and verify the bfd section size
against it.
(get_core_registers_cb): Add parameter 'regset' and pass it to
get_core_register section. For the "standard" register sections
".reg" and ".reg2", set an appropriate default for human_name.
(get_core_registers): Don't abort when the gdbarch has an iterator
but no regset_from_core_section. Add NULL/0 for parameters
'regset'/'min_size' in calls to get_core_register_section.
* linux-tdep.c (linux_collect_regset_section_cb): Add parameter
'regset' and use it instead of calling the
regset_from_core_section gdbarch method.

gdbarch method. Drop initialization of deleted tdep fields.
The core_regset_sections list in gdbarch (needed for multi-arch
capable core file generation support) is replaced by an iterator
method. Overall, this reduces the code a bit, and it allows for more
flexibility.

the test script invokes ldd (on host) for the target libraries, which
is wrong. ldd can't be cross because it invokes dynamic linker with
LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS and gets the dependent libraries. My first
reaction to this problem is to execute ld.so on the target (like
remote_exec target). When I start to hack proc build_executable_own_libs,
I find it has assumptions here and there that the native testing is
performed. Then I check the callers of build_executable_own_libs,
and they are all skipped if isnative is false. It is reasonable to do
the same in dlopen-libpthread.exp too.

Therefore, the check for singlestep_breakpoints_inserted_p is actually

the cause is that GDBserver doesn't cancel the breakpoint if the stop
signal is SIGILL. The kernel used here is a little old, 2.6.x, and
doesn't translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP when program hits breakpoint
instruction (which is an illegal instruction actually). GDB and
GDBserver can translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP under certain circumstance,
so it is not a problem here. See gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_wait_1
/* If this event was not handled before, and is not a SIGTRAP, we
report it. SIGILL and SIGSEGV are also treated as traps in case

However, SIGILL and SIGSEGV is not considered when cancelling
breakpoint, which causes the fail above. That is, when GDB is doing
software single step on address ADDR, both thread A and thread B hits the
software single step breakpoint, and get SIGILL. GDB selects the event
from thread A, removes the software single step breakpoint, and resume
the program. The event (SIGILL) from thread B is reported to GDB, but
GDB doesn't regard this SIGILL as SIGTRAP, because the breakpoint on
address ADDR was removed, so GDB reports "Program received signal
SIGILL".
The patch is to allow calling cancel_breakpoint if the signal is
SIGILL and SIGSEGV. This patch fixes the fail above. Likewise, event
lwp selection should honour SIGILL and SIGSEGV too.

By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch is to extend dw2-var-zero-add.exp to cover the case that

I see the following fail on arm-none-eabi target,
(gdb) b 24^M
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4: file
../../../../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.cc,
line 24.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.exp: b 24
Currently, we are using flag has_section_at_zero to determine whether
address zero in debug info means the corresponding code has been
GC'ed, like this:
case DW_LNE_set_address:
address = read_address (abfd, line_ptr, cu, &bytes_read);
if (address == 0 && !dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero)
{
/* This line table is for a function which has been
GCd by the linker. Ignore it. PR gdb/12528 */
However, this is incorrect on some bare metal targets, as .text
section is located at 0x0, so dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero
is true. If a function is GC'ed by linker, the address is zero. GDB
thinks address zero is a function's address rather than this function
is GC'ed.
In this patch, we choose 'lowpc' got in read_file_scope to check
whether 'lowpc' is greater than zero. If it isn't, address zero really
means the function is GC'ed. In this patch, we pass 'lowpc' in
read_file_scope through handle_DW_AT_stmt_list and dwarf_decode_lines,
and to dwarf_decode_lines_1 finally.
This patch fixes the fail above. This patch also covers the path that
partial symbol isn't used, which is tested by starting gdb with
--readnow option.
It is regression tested on x86-linux with
target_board=dwarf4-gdb-index, and arm-none-eabi. OK to apply?

This bug is about a global variable that got incorrectly displayed by

But I think a testcase for it wouldn't hurt.
So, consider the following scenario:
$ cat solib1.c
int test;
void c_main (void)
{
test = 42;
}
$ cat solib2.c
int test;
void b_main (void)
{
test = 42;
}
$ cat main.c
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
c_main ();
b_main ();
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO1.so -c solib1.c
$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO2.so -c solib2.c
$ gcc -g -o main -L$PWD -lSO1 -lSO2 main.c
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
...
$1 = 0
This happened with GDB before Joel's commit above. Now, things work
and GDB is able to correctly display the nested global variable:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
...
$1 = 42
The testcase attached tests this behavior.

In gdb/gdbserver/Makefile.in, IPAGENT_CFLAGS is defined using
an expression which references $(CPPFLAGS). But CPPFLAGS isn't
actually defined.
This patch first adds a CPPFLAGS definition, so as to inherit
the value passed at configure time (if any). And it then makes it
part of INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE, instead. There is no reason that
CPPFLAGS be useful for a certain class of source files, and not
the rest. This is also consistent with what's done in GDB.

(top level): Factor out tests to ...

PR 12526 reports that -location watchpoints against bitfield arguments
trigger false positives when bits around the bitfield, but not the
bitfield itself, are modified.
This happens because -location watchpoints naturally operate at the
byte level, not at the bit level. When the address of a bitfield
lvalue is taken, information about the bitfield (i.e. its offset and
size) is lost in the process.
This information must first be retained throughout the lifetime of the
-location watchpoint. This patch achieves this by adding two new
fields to the watchpoint struct: val_bitpos and val_bitsize. These
fields are set when a watchpoint is first defined in watch_command_1.
They are both equal to zero if the watchpoint is not a -location
watchpoint or if the argument is not a bitfield.
Then these bitfield parameters are used inside update_watchpoint and
watchpoint_check to extract the actual value of the bitfield from the
watchpoint address, with the help of a local helper function
extract_bitfield_from_watchpoint_value.
Finally when creating a HW breakpoint pointing to a bitfield, we
optimize the address and length of the breakpoint. By skipping over
the bytes that don't cover the bitfield, this step reduces the
frequency at which a read watchpoint for the bitfield is triggered.
It also reduces the number of times a false-positive call to
check_watchpoint is triggered for a write watchpoint.

The test does a backtrace to see which thread (#2 or #3) is assigned
to which SIGUSR (1 or 2). If the main thread gets to all_threads_running
before the sigusr threads get to their entry point, then the function
name isn't in the backtrace and the test fails.
Alas this version of the code is within epsilon of what I started with,
and then over-simplified things.
If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads
it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command.
What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the
desired threads and then just do "continue".
This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this.
Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue".
That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject
any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal"
just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it.
"nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which
"queue-signal" doesn't do.
One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to
deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command. I have no current
need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have
left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one
tries to queue a nopass signal.

I had occasion to use with_gdb_prompt in a test for the patch for PR 17314
and was passing the plain text prompt as the value, "(top-gdb)",
instead of a regexp, "\(top-gdb\)" (expressed as "\\(top-gdb\\)" in TCL).
I then discovered that in order to restore the prompt gdb passes the
original value of $gdb_prompt to "set prompt", which works because
"set prompt \(gdb\) " is equivalent to "set prompt (gdb) ".
Perhaps I'm being overly cautious but this feels a bit subtle,
but at any rate as an API choice I'd much rather pass the plain text
form to with_gdb_prompt.
I also discovered that the initial value of gdb_prompt is set in
two places to two different values.
At the global level gdb.exp sets it to "\[(\]gdb\[)\]"
and default_gdb_init sets it to "\\(gdb\\)".
The former form is undesirable as an argument to "set prompt",
but it's not clear to me that just deleting this code won't break
anything. Thus I just changed the value to be consistent and added
a comment.

The IRIX support wants to set a breakpoint to be hit when the startup
phase is complete, which is where shared libraries have been mapped
in. AFAIU, for most IRIX ports, that location is the entry point.
For MIPS IRIX however, GDB needs to set a breakpoint earlier, in
__dbx_link, as explained by:
#ifdef SYS_syssgi
/* On mips-irix, we need to stop the inferior early enough during
the startup phase in order to be able to load the shared library
symbols and insert the breakpoints that are located in these shared
libraries. Stopping at the program entry point is not good enough
because the -init code is executed before the execution reaches
that point.
So what we need to do is to insert a breakpoint in the runtime
loader (rld), more precisely in __dbx_link(). This procedure is
called by rld once all shared libraries have been mapped, but before
the -init code is executed. Unfortuantely, this is not straightforward,
as rld is not part of the executable we are running, and thus we need
the inferior to run until rld itself has been mapped in memory.
For this, we trace all syssgi() syscall exit events. Each time
we detect such an event, we iterate over each text memory maps,
get its associated fd, and scan the symbol table for __dbx_link().
When found, we know that rld has been mapped, and that we can insert
the breakpoint at the symbol address. Once the dbx_link() breakpoint
has been inserted, the syssgi() notifications are no longer necessary,
so they should be canceled. */
proc_trace_syscalls_1 (pi, SYS_syssgi, PR_SYSEXIT, FLAG_SET, 0);
#endif
The loop in irix_solib_create_inferior_hook then runs until whichever
breakpoint is hit first, the one set by solib-irix.c or the one set by
procfs.c.
Note the comment in disable_break talks about __dbx_init, but I think
that's a typo for __dbx_link:
- /* Note that it is possible that we have stopped at a location that
- is different from the location where we inserted our breakpoint.
- On mips-irix, we can actually land in __dbx_init(), so we should
- not check the PC against our breakpoint address here. See procfs.c
- for more details. */
This looks very much like referring to the loop in
irix_solib_create_inferior_hook stopping at __dbx_link instead of at
the entry point.
What this patch does is convert these deprecated raw breakpoints to
standard solib_event breakpoints. When the first solib-event
breakpoint is hit, we delete all solib-event breakpoints. We do that
in the so_ops->handle_event hook.
This allows getting rid of the loop in irix_solib_create_inferior_hook
completely, which should allow properly handling signals and other
events in the early startup phase, like in SVR4.
Built on x86_64 Fedora 20 with --enable-targets=all (builds
solib-irix.c).
Joel tested that with an earlier version of this patch "info shared"
after starting a program gave the same list of shared libraries as
before.

The problem is that rs6000_frame_cache attempts to read the stack backchain via
read_memory_unsigned_integer, which throws an exception if the stack pointer is
invalid. With this patch, it calls safe_read_memory_integer instead, which
doesn't throw an exception and allows for safe handling of that situation.

I have started seeing occasional runaway 'attach' processes these days.
I cannot be certain it is really caused by this patch, for example
grep 'FAIL.*cmdline attach run' does not show anything in my logs.
But as I remember this 'attach' runaway process always happened in GDB (but
I do not remember it in the past months) I think it would be most safe to just
solve it forever by [attached].

Doing:
gdb --pid=PID -ex run
Results in GDB getting a SIGTTIN, and thus ending stopped. That's
usually indicative of a missing target_terminal_ours call.
E.g., from the PR:
$ sleep 1h & p=$!; sleep 0.1; gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run
[1] 28263
[1] Killed sleep 1h
[2]+ Stopped gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run
The workaround is doing:
gdb -ex "attach $PID" -ex "run"
instead of
gdb [-p] $PID -ex "run"
With the former, gdb waits for the attach command to complete before
moving on to the "run" command, because the interpreter is in sync
mode at this point, within execute_command. But for the latter,
attach_command is called directly from captured_main, and thus misses
that waiting. IOW, "run" is running before the attach continuation
has run, before the program stops and attach completes. The broken
terminal settings are just one symptom of that. Any command that
queries or requires input results in the same.
The fix is to wait in catch_command_errors (which is specific to
main.c nowadays), just like we wait in execute_command.

This commit adds a new global flag show_debug_regs to common-debug.h
to replace the flag debug_hw_points used by gdbserver and by the
Linux x86 and AArch64 ports, and to replace the flag maint_show_dr
used by the Linux MIPS port.
Note that some debug printing in the AArch64 port was enabled only if
debug_hw_points > 1 but no way to set debug_hw_points to values other
than 0 and 1 was provided; that code was effectively dead. This
commit enables all debug printing if show_debug_regs is nonzero, so

Since the last change to address_from_register, it no longer supports
targets that require a special conversion (gdbarch_convert_register_p)
for plain pointer type; I had assumed no target does so.
This turned out to be incorrect: MIPS64 n32 big-endian needs such a
conversion in order to properly sign-extend pointer values.
This patch fixes this regression by handling targets that need a
special conversion in address_from_register as well.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* findvar.c (address_from_register): Handle targets requiring
a special conversion routine even for plain pointer types.
Old AIX versions required GDB to update the stack pointer register and
execute at least one instruction before accessing the space newly allocated
on the user stack. This was done using the exec_one_dummy_insn routine
in rs6000-nat.c
However, in currently supported AIX versions (tested on AIX 6.1), this hack
is no longer necessary. In fact, removing the hack actually fixed several
test case failures, and removes a call to deprecated_insert_raw_breakpoint.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-nat.c (exec_one_dummy_insn): Remove.
(store_register): Do not call exec_one_dummy_insn.
Trying to print the bounds or the length of a pointer to an array
whose bounds are dynamic results in the following error:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'first
Location address is not set.
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'length
Location address is not set.
This is because, after having dereferenced our array pointer, we
use the type of the resulting array value, instead of the enclosing
type. The former is the original type where the bounds are unresolved,
whereas we need to get the actual array bounds.
Similarly, trying to apply those attributes to the array pointer
directly (without explicitly dereferencing it with the '.all'
operator) yields the same kind of error:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'first
Location address is not set.
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'length
Location address is not set.
This is caused by the fact that the dereference was done implicitly
in this case, and perform at the type level only, which is not
sufficient in order to resolve the array type.
This patch fixes both issues, thus allowing us to get the expected output:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'length
$2 = 3
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'first
$3 = 1

Consider a pointer to an array which dynamic bounds, described in
DWARF as follow:
<1><25>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<26> DW_AT_name : foo__array_type
[...]
<2><3b>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<40> DW_AT_lower_bound : 5 byte block: 97 38 1c 94 4

<46> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: 97 34 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit4; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
GDB is now able to correctly print the entire array, but not one
element of the array. Eg:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (1, 2, 3)
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all(1)
Cannot access memory at address 0xfffffffff4123a0c
The problem occurs because we are missing a dynamic resolution of
the variable's array type when subscripting the array. What the current
code does is "fix"-ing the array type using the GNAT encodings, but
that operation ignores any of the array's dynamic properties.
This patch fixes the issue by using ada_value_ind to dereference
the array pointer, which takes care of the array type resolution.
It also continues to "fix" arrays described using GNAT encodings,
so backwards compatibility is preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_ptr_subscript): Remove parameter "type".
Adjust function implementation and documentation accordingly.

* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: Add subscripting tests.
Consider the following declaration:
type Array_Type is array (Natural range <>) of Integer;
type Array_Ptr is access all Array_Type;
for Array_Ptr'Size use 64;
Three_Ptr : Array_Ptr := new Array_Type'(1 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => 3);
This creates a pointer to an array where the bounds are stored
in a memory region just before the array itself (aka a "thin pointer").
In DWARF, this is described as a the usual pointer type to an array
whose subrange has dynamic values for its bounds:
<1><25>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<26> DW_AT_name : foo__array_type
[...]
<2><3b>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<40> DW_AT_lower_bound : 5 byte block: 97 38 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit8; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
<46> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: 97 34 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit4; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
GDB is currently printing the value of the array incorrectly:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (26629472 => 1, 2,
value.c:819: internal-error: value_contents_bits_eq: [...]
The dereferencing (".all" operator) is done by calling ada_value_ind,
which itself calls value_ind. It first produces a new value where
the bounds of the array were correctly resolved to their actual value,
but then calls readjust_indirect_value_type which replaces the resolved
type by the original type.
The problem starts when ada_value_print does not take this situation
into account, and starts using the type of the resulting value, which
has unresolved array bounds, instead of using the value's enclosing
type.
After fixing this issue, the debugger now correctly prints:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (1, 2, 3)

There are `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' sections
also present in Linux executables, so we can't infer IRIX OS ABI solely
from the existence of these sections. This is not going to be a problem
as there are bound to be other sections whose names start with `.MIPS.'
in IRIX executables and this selection only matters for a non-default OS
ABI in a multiple-target GDB executable. As a last resort the automatic
selection can be overridden with `set osabi'.

Similarly to the previous changes to gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp and
gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp this corrects the timeout tweak in
gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp.
This test case executes a large amount of code with a software watchpoint
enabled. This means single-stepping all the way through and takes a lot
of time, e.g. for an ARMv7 Panda board and a `-march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: continue to foo again
elapsed: 714
for the same board and a `-mthumb -march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: continue to foo again
elapsed: 1275
and for QEMU in the system emulation mode and a `-march=armv4t'
multilib:
PASS: gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: continue to foo again
elapsed: 115
(values in seconds) -- all of which having the default timeout of 60s,
set based on the requirement of the remaining test cases (other than
gdb.reverse ones).
Here again the timeout extension to have a meaning should be calculated
by scaling rather than using an arbitrary constant, and a larger factor
of 30 will do, leaving some margin. Hopefully for everyone or otherwise
we'll probably have to come up with a smarter solution.
OTOH the other test cases in this script do not require the extension so
they can be moved outside its umbrella so as to avoid unnecessary delays
if something goes wrong and a genuine timeout triggers.
* gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: Increase the timeout by a factor
of 30 rather than hardcoding 120 for a slow test case. Take the
`gdb,timeout' target setting into account for this calculation.
Don't extend the timeout for the test cases that don't need it.
There are three cases in two scripts in the gdb.reverse subset that
take a particularly long time. Two of them are already attempted to
take care of by extending the timeout from the default. The remaining
one has no precautions taken. The timeout extension is ineffective
though, it is done by adding a constant rather than by scaling and as
a result while it may work for target boards that get satisfied with
the detault test timeout of 10s, it does not serve its purpose for
slower ones.
Here are indicative samples of execution times (in seconds) observed

PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile

Based on the performance of other tests these two test configurations
have their default timeout set to 450s and 60s respectively.
The remaining two multilibs (`-mthumb -march=armv4t' and `-mthumb
-march=armv7-a') do not produce test results usable enough to have data
available for these cases.
Based on these results I have tweaked timeouts for these cases as
follows. This, together with a suitable board timeout setting, removes
timeouts for these cases. Note that for the default timeout of 10s the
new setting for the first case in gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp is
compatible with the old one, just a bit higher to keep the convention
of longer timeouts to remain multiples of 30s. The second case there
does not need such a high setting so I have lowered it a bit to avoid
an unnecessary delay where this test case genuinely times out.
* gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: Increase the timeout by
a factor of 2 for a slow test case. Take the `gdb,timeout'
target setting into account for this calculation.
* gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: Increase the timeout by
a factor of 15 and 3 respectively rather than adding 120
for a pair of slow test cases. Take the `gdb,timeout'
target setting into account for this calculation.
The recent change to introduce `gdb_reverse_timeout' turned out
ineffective for board setups that set the `gdb,timeout' target variable.
A lower `gdb,timeout' setting takes precedence and defeats the effect of
`gdb_reverse_timeout'. This is because the global timeout is overridden
in gdb_test_multiple and then again in gdb_expect.
Three timeout variables are taken into account in these two places, in
this precedence:
1. The `gdb,timeout' target variable.
2. The caller's local `timeout' variable (upvar timeout)
3. The global `timeout' variable.
This precedence is obeyed by gdb_test_multiple strictly. OTOH
gdb_expect will select the higher of the two formers and will only take
the latter into account if none of the formers is present. However the
two timeout selections are conceptually the same and gdb_test_multiple
does its only for the purpose of passing it down to gdb_expect.
Therefore I decided there is no point to keep carrying on this
duplication and removed the sequence from gdb_test_multiple, however
retaining the `upvar timeout' variable definition. This way gdb_expect
will still access gdb_test_multiple's caller `timeout' variable (if any)
via its own `upvar timeout' reference.
Now as to the sequence in gdb_expect. In addition to the three
variables described above it also takes a timeout argument into account,
as the fourth value to choose from. It is currently used if it is
higher than the timeout selected from the variables as described above.
With the timeout selection code from gdb_test_multiple gone, gone is
also the most prominent use of this timeout argument, it's now used in
a couple of places only, mostly within this test framework library code
itself for preparatory commands or suchlike. With this being the case
this timeout selection code can be simplified as follows:
1. Among the three timeout variables, the highest is always chosen.
This is so that a test case doesn't inadvertently lower a high value
timeout needed by slow target boards. This is what all test cases
use.
2. Any timeout argument takes precedence. This is for special cases
such as within the framework library code, e.g. it doesn't make sense
to send `set height 0' with a timeout of 7200 seconds. This is a
local command that does not interact with the target and setting a
high timeout here only risks a test suite run taking ages if it goes
astray for some reason.
3. The fallback timeout of 60s remains.
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): Remove code to select the
timeout, don't pass one down to gdb_expect.
(gdb_expect): Rework timeout selection.
The trad_frame_set_reg_unknown declaration was added in commit
0db9b4b709 (March 2004), but apparently never defined or referenced.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* trad-frame.h (trad_frame_set_reg_unknown): Remove declaration.
As it happens we have a board that fails a gdb.base/gcore-relro.exp
test case reproducibly and moreover the case appears to trigger a
kernel bug making the it less than usable. Specifically the board
remains responsive to some extent, however processes do not appear
to be able to successfully complete termination anymore and perhaps
more importantly further gdbserver processes can be started, but they
never reach the stage of listening on the RSP socket.
This change handles timeouts in gdbserver start properly, by throwing
a TCL error exception when gdbserver does not report listening on the
RSP socket in time. This is then caught at the outer level and
reported, and 2 rather than 1 is returned so that the caller may tell
the failure to start gdbserver and other issues apart and act
accordingly (or do nothing).
I thought letting the exception unwind further on might be a good idea
for any test harnesses out there to break outright where a gdbserver
start error is silently ignored right now, however I figured out the
calls to gdbserver-support.exp are buried down too deep in the GDB test
suite for such a change to be made easily. I think returning a distinct
return value is good enough (the API says "non-zero", so 2 is as good as
1) and we can always make the error harder in a later step if required.
With config/gdbserver.exp being used this change remains transparent
to the target board, the return value is passed up by gdb_reload and
the error exception unwinds through gdbserver_gdb_load and is caught
and handled by mi_gdb_target_load. A call to perror is still made,
reporting the timeout, and in the case of mi_gdb_target_load the
procedure returns a value denoting unsuccessful completion. An
unsuccessful completion of gdb_reload is already handled elsewhere.
An alternative gdbserver board configuration can interpret the return
value in its gdb_reload implementation and catch the error in
gdbserver_gdb_load in an attempt to recover a target board that has
gone astray, for example by rebooting the board somehow. This has
proved effective with our failing board, that now completes the
remaining test cases with no further hiccups.
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_start): Throw an error
exception on timeout.
(gdbserver_run): Catch any `gdbserver_spawn' error exceptions.
(gdbserver_start_extended): Catch any `gdbserver_start' error
exceptions.
(gdbserver_start_multi, mi_gdbserver_start_multi): Likewise.
* lib/mi-support.exp (mi_gdb_target_load): Catch any
`gdbserver_gdb_load' error exceptions.
Gdbserver support code uses the global timeout value to determine when
to stop waiting for a gdbserver process being started to respond before
continuing anyway. This timeout is usually as low as 10s and may not
be enough in this context, for example on the first run where the
filesystem cache is cold, even if it is elsewhere.
E.g. I observe this reliably with gdbserver started the first time in
QEMU running in the system emulation mode:
(gdb) file .../gdb.base/advance
Reading symbols from .../gdb.base/advance...done.
(gdb) delete breakpoints
(gdb) info breakpoints

-- notice how the test harness proceeded with the `target remote ...'
command even though gdbserver hasn't completed its startup yet. A
while later when it's finally ready it's too late already. I checked
the timing here and it takes gdbserver roughly 25 seconds to start in
this scenario. Subsequent gdbserver starts in the same test run take
less time and usually complete within 10 seconds although occasionally
`target remote ...' precedes the corresponding `Listening on port...'
message again.
Therefore I have fixed this problem by setting an explicit timeout to
120s on the expect call in question. If this turns out too arbitrary
sometime, then perhaps a separate `gdbserver_timeout' setting might be
due.
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_start): Set timeout to

The problem here is that if a thread other than gdb's main thread
gets a SIGCHLD (it's an asynchronous signal so the kernel will
essentially pick a random thread) then gdb will hang if it is
in sigsuspend when the SIGCHLD is delivered. The other thread
will see the signal and the sigsuspend won't "wake up".
Guile and libgc should be blocking SIGCHLD in their threads,
but we need to work with Guile 2.0 and libgc 7.4.
The problem first shows up in libgc 7.4 because it is the first
release that enables multiple marker threads by default.

(frame_arg::error is then non-NULL) but the code does not handle it.
Another bug is that py_print_single_arg() calls goto out of its TRY_CATCH

It is probably 7.7 regression (I have not verified it) due to the introduction

This patch is a fix to PR gdb/17235. The bug is about an unused
variable that got declared and set during one of the parsing phases of
an SDT probe's argument. I took the opportunity to rewrite some of the
code to improve the parsing. The bug was actually a thinko, because
what I wanted to do in the code was to discard the number on the string
being parsed.
During this portion, the code identifies that it is dealing with an
expression that begins with a sign ('+', '-' or '~'). This means that
the expression could be:
- a numeric literal (e.g., '+5')
- a register displacement (e.g., '-4(%rsp)')
- a subexpression (e.g., '-(2*3)')
So, after saving the sign and moving forward 1 char, now the code needs
to know if there is a digit followed by a register displacement prefix
operand (e.g., '(' on x86_64). If yes, then it is a register
operation. If not, then it will be handled recursively, and the code
will later apply the requested operation on the result (either a '+', a
'-' or a '~').
With the bug, the code was correctly discarding the digit (though using
strtol unnecessarily), but it wasn't properly dealing with
subexpressions when the register indirection prefix was '(', like on
x86_64. This patch also fixes this bug, and includes a testcase. It
passes on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Historically the Linux x86 watchpoint code did not cope with multi-

Not all entry points were converted when the Linux x86 watchpoint

cope with wrapped LWPs. Since then all such entry points have been
converted to pass regular LWPs and the handler is now redundant.

The idea was that we'd just fallback to calling value_field_bitfield,

should be able to handle optimized out values too. Alas, it doesn't.
This is currently a bit too messy. Instead of teaching
unpack_value_bits_as_long_1 about optimized out bits, let's bite the
bullet and teach the value code to handle partially optimized out
bitfield, by having it unpack a bitfield and then propagate the range
metadata. Turns out the resulting code looks simpler and clearer.

This PR came from a Red Hat bug that was filed recently. I checked and
it still exists on HEAD, so here's a proposed fix. Although this is
marked as a Python backend bug, this is really about the completion
mechanism used by GDB. Since this code reminds me of my first attempt
to make a good noodle, it took me quite some time to fix it in a
non-intrusive way.
The problem is triggered when one registers a completion method inside a
class in a Python script, rather than registering the command using a
completer class directly. For example, consider the following script:
class MyFirstCommand(gdb.Command):
def __init__(self):
gdb.Command.__init__(self,'myfirstcommand',gdb.COMMAND_USER,gdb.COMPLETE_FILENAME)
def invoke(self,argument,from_tty):
raise gdb.GdbError('not implemented')
class MySecondCommand(gdb.Command):
def __init__(self):
gdb.Command.__init__(self,'mysecondcommand',gdb.COMMAND_USER)
def invoke(self,argument,from_tty):
raise gdb.GdbError('not implemented')
def complete(self,text,word):
return gdb.COMPLETE_FILENAME
MyFirstCommand ()
MySecondCommand ()
When one loads this into GDB and tries to complete filenames for both
myfirstcommand and mysecondcommand, she gets:
(gdb) myfirstcommand /hom<TAB>
(gdb) myfirstcommand /home/
^
...
(gdb) mysecondcommand /hom<TAB>
(gdb) mysecondcommand /home
^
(The "^" marks the final position of the cursor after the TAB).
So we see that myfirstcommand honors the COMPLETE_FILENAME class (as
specified in the command creation), but mysecondcommand does not. After
some investigation, I found that the problem lies with the set of word
break characters that is used for each case. The set should be the same
for both commands, but it is not.
During the process of deciding which type of completion should be used,
the code in gdb/completer.c:complete_line_internal analyses the command
that requested the completion and tries to determine the type of
completion wanted by checking which completion function will be called
(e.g., filename_completer for filenames, location_completer for
locations, etc.).
This all works fine for myfirstcommand, because immediately after the
command registration the Python backend already sets its completion
function to filename_completer (which then causes the
complete_line_internal function to choose the right set of word break
chars). However, for mysecondcommand, this decision is postponed to
when the completer function is evaluated, and the Python backend uses an
internal completer (called cmdpy_completer). complete_line_internal
doesn't know about this internal completer, and can't choose the right
set of word break chars in time, which then leads to a bad decision when
completing the "/hom" word.
So, after a few attempts, I decided to create another callback in
"struct cmd_list_element" that will be responsible for handling the case
when there is an unknown completer function for complete_line_internal
to work with. So far, only the Python backend uses this callback, and
only when the user provides a completer method instead of registering
the command directly with a completer class. I think this is the best
option because it not very intrusive (all the other commands will still
work normally), but especially because the whole completion code is so
messy that it would be hard to fix this without having to redesign
things.
I have regtested this on Fedora 18 x86_64, without regressions. I also
included a testcase.

The loop macro ALL_DEBUG_REGISTERS does not iterate over the status or
control registers, so its name is misleading. This commit renames it
as ALL_DEBUG_ADDRESS_REGISTERS and updates all uses. This commit also
updates its loop conditions to an equivalent but better form, and
makes two functions use it that had previously hardwired the loop.
A comment on a related field in the x86_debug_reg_state structure is
also updated to reflect that the field refers specifically to address
registers only.

This commit renames nine files that contain code used by both 32- and
64-bit Intel ports such that their names are prefixed with "x86"
rather than "i386". All types, functions and variables within these
files are likewise renamed such that their names are prefixed with
"x86" rather than "i386". This makes GDB follow the convention used
by gdbserver such that 32-bit Intel code lives in files called
"i386-*", 64-bit Intel code lives in files called "amd64-*", and code
for both 32- and 64-bit Intel lives in files called "x86-*".
This commit only renames OS-independent files. The Linux ports of
both GDB and gdbserver now follow the i386/amd64/x86 convention fully.
Some ports still use the old convention where "i386" in file/function/
type/variable names can mean "32-bit only" or "32- and 64-bit" but I
don't want to touch ports I can't fully test except where absolutely
necessary.

found no documentation as to why this particular hardwired handler

to error.

was also unable to come up with a situation where error would not

There are two parts to this. If called before gdb_stderr is set up,
internal_vproblem will fall back to printing the message on regular
stderr and aborting. If called after gdb_stderr is set up but before
filtered printing is set up, internal_vproblem will operate as usual
except that it can not query whether to quit and/or dump core so it
defaults to doing both.

clang was using eax to construct %0 here:
asm ("mov %%eax, 0(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%ebx, 4(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%ecx, 8(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%edx, 12(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%esi, 16(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%edi, 20(%0)\n\t"
: /* no output operands */
: "r" (data)
: "eax", "ebx", "ecx", "edx", "esi", "edi");
which caused amd64-word.exp (and others similarly) to fail.
It's a perfectly legit thing for clang to do given the available data.
The patch fixes this by marking the registers as live from the
time of the preceding breakpoint.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* utils.h (fatal): Remove declaration.
* utils.c (fatal): Remove function.
This commit converts four calls to fatal into calls to
perror_with_name. perror_with_name calls error, which
in IPA terminates with exit (1) rather than longjmp, so
there is no functional change here.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* tracepoint.c (gdb_agent_init): Replace fatal with
perror_with_name.
(initialize_tracepoint): Likewise.
This commit converts a call to fatal in remote_prepare with a call to
error. remote_prepare is called precisely once, from main, at a point
where jumping to toplevel will call exit (1), so error and fatal are
functionally equivalent at this point. Note that remote_prepare calls
perror_with_name (which calls error) so callers of remote_prepare must
already handle the fact that it may exit via longjmp.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* remote-utils.c (remote_prepare): Replace fatal with error.
This commit downgrades a fatal error to a warning in linux_async.
linux_async is called from two different places in gdbserver:
Via target_async from handle_accept_event. The argument
is always zero, so the warning will never be printed here.
Via start_non_stop from handle_general_set. This prints
its own error message to stderr on failure, which will
be preceded by the warning if it is emitted.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (linux_async): Replace fatal with warning.
Tidy up and return.
(linux_start_non_stop): Return -1 if linux_async failed.
This commit converts if..fatal checks in both i386_dr_low_set_addr
implementations to gdb_asserts. It's not obvious from the context,
but the conditional in both cases is changed to match the equivalent
conditional in the i386_dr_low_get_addr implementations. Nothing
fundamental has changed because DR_FIRSTADDR is zero. This commit
also removes a vague comment in Linux i386_dr_low_get_addr. I could
have reworded the comment (and replicated it three times for the other
identical assertions) but I think the existence of specific functions
for the status and control registers makes it fairly obvious what is
going on.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-x86-low.c (i386_dr_low_set_addr): Replace check with
gdb_assert.
(i386_dr_low_get_addr): Remove vague comment.

Hi,
This patch is to handle a software watchpoint case that program returns
to caller's epilogue, and it causes the fail in thumb mode,
finish^M
Run till exit from #0 func () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoint-cond-gone.c:26^M
0x000001f6 in jumper ()^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-cond-gone.exp: Catch the no longer valid watchpoint
In the test, jumper calls func, and programs returns from func to
jumper's epilogue, IOW, the branch instruction is the last instruction
of jumper's function body.
jumper:
.....
0x000001f2 <+10>: bl 0x200 [1] <---- indirect call to func
0x000001f6 <+14>: mov sp, r7 [2] <---- start of the epilogue
0x000001f8 <+16>: add sp, #8
0x000001fa <+18>: pop {r7}
0x000001fc <+20>: pop {r0}
0x000001fe <+22>: bx r0
When the inferior returns from func back to jumper, it is expected
that an expression of a software watchpoint becomes out-of-scope.
GDB validates the expression by checking the corresponding frame,
but this check is guarded by gdbarch_in_function_epilogue_p. See
breakpoint.c:watchpoint_check.
It doesn't work in this case, because program returns from func's
epilogue back to jumper's epilogue [2], GDB thinks the program is
still within the epilogue, but in fact it goes to a different one.
When PC points at [2], the sp-restore instruction is to be
executed, so the stack frame isn't destroyed yet and we can still
use the frame mechanism reliably.
Note that when PC points to the first instruction of restoring SP,
it is part of epilogue, but we still return zero. When goes to
the next instruction, the backward scan will still match the
epilogue sequence correctly. The reason for doing this is to
handle the "return-to-epilogue" case.
What this patch does is to restrict the epilogue matching that let
GDB think the first SP restore instruction isn't part of the epilogue,
and fall back to use frame mechanism. We set 'found_stack_adjust'
zero before backward scan, and we've done this for arm mode
counterpart (arm_in_function_epilogue_p) too.
The patch is tested in arm-none-eabi and arm-none-linux-gnueabi with
various multilibs. OK to apply?

Hi,
dwarf_decode_lines is called in two functions,
dwarf2_build_include_psymtabs and handle_DW_AT_stmt_list, in which, 1
is passed to argument 'want_line_info' and 'want_line_info' is a
conditional variable in dwarf_decode_lines. We can simplify it by
removing 'want_line_info' and propagating the constant 1 into
dwarf_decode_lines. This is what this patch does. This patch also
remove one line comment about WANT_LINE_INFO in
handle_DW_AT_stmt_list, as handle_DW_AT_stmt_list doesn't have such
argument.

* dwarf2read.c (dwarf_decode_lines): Update declaration.

Callers update.
The TUI terminal state becomes corrupted (e.g. key sequences such as
Alt_F and Alt_B no longer work) when one attaches to an inferior process
(via "run" or "attach") from within TUI. This terminal corruption
remains until you switch out of TUI mode.
This happens because the terminal state is not properly saved when
switching to and out from TUI mode. Although the functions tui_enable()
and tui_disable() both call the function target_terminal_save_ours() to
save the terminal state, this function is a no-op unless GDB has already
attached to an inferior process. This is because only the "native"
target has a useful implementation of target_terminal_save_ours()
(namely child_terminal_save_ours()) and we only have the "native" target
in our target vector if GDB has already attached to an inferior process.
So without an inferior process, switching to and from TUI mode does not
actually save the terminal state. Therefore when you attach to an
inferior process from within TUI mode, the proper terminal state is not
restored (after swapping from the inferior's terminal back to the GDB
terminal).
To fix this we just have to ensure that the terminal state is always
being properly saved when switching from and to TUI mode. To achieve
this, this patch removes the polymorphic function
target_terminal_save_ours() and replaces it with a regular function
gdb_save_tty_state() that always saves the terminal state.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu by running "make check", no new
regressions.

I read comment of scan_partial_symbols about NEED_PC and how *LOWPC

*LOWPC and *HIGHPC is updated regardless of NEED_PC. When NEED_PC is

When GDB uses recent version of babeltrace, such as 1.2.x, we'll see
such error emitted from babeltrace library,
(gdb) target ctf .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/actions.ctf
[error] Invalid CTF stream: content size is smaller than packet headers.
[error] Stream index creation error.
[error] Open file stream error.
The problem can be reproduce out of GDB too, using babeltrace,
$ babeltrace ./fake-packet.ctf/
[error] Invalid CTF stream: content size is smaller than packet headers.
[error] Stream index creation error.
[error] Open file stream error.
Recent babeltrace library becomes more strict on CTF, and complains
about one "faked packet" GDB adds, when saving trace data in ctf
format from GDB. babeltrace 1.1.0 has a bug that it can't read trace
data smaller than a certain size (see https://bugs.lttng.org/issues/450).
We workaround it in GDB to append some meaningless data in a faked
packet to make sure trace file is large enough (see ctf.c:ctf_end).
The babeltrace issue was fixed in 1.1.1 release. However, babeltrace
recent release (since 1.1.2) starts to complain about such faked
packet. Here is a table shows that whether faked packet or no faked
packet is "supported" by various babeltrace releases,
faked packet no faked packet
1.1.0 Yes No
1.1.1 Yes Yes
1.1.2 No Yes
1.2.0 No Yes
We decide to get rid of this workaround in GDB, and people can build GDB
with libbabeltrace >= 1.1.1. In this way, both configure and ctf.c is
simpler.
Run gdb.trace/* tests in the following combinations:

already see the comment, when we only had a bare attach_command:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/*
* TODO:
* Should save/restore the tty state since it might be that the
* program to be debugged was started on this tty and it wants
* the tty in some state other than what we want. If it's running
* on another terminal or without a terminal, then saving and
* restoring the tty state is a harmless no-op.
* This only needs to be done if we are attaching to a process.
*/
/*
* attach_command --
* takes a program started up outside of gdb and ``attaches'' to it.
* This stops it cold in its tracks and allows us to start tracing it.
* For this to work, we must be able to send the process a
* signal and we must have the same effective uid as the program.
*/
void
attach_command (args, from_tty)
char *args;
int from_tty;
{
target_attach (args, from_tty);
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later in b5a3d2aa (1992) target_terminal_init, etc. calls are added to
attach_command, and in 7e97eb28 (1992) we see:
+ /* If we attached to the process, we might or might not be sharing
+ a terminal. Avoid printing error msg if we are unable to set our
+ terminal's process group to his process group ID. */
+ if (!attach_flag) {
+ OOPSY ("ioctl TIOCSPGRP");
Clearly the TODO has been stale for a long while.
I considered preserving the text elsewhere, but then thought the
comments in inflow.c already have all the necessary info.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infcmd.c (attach_command): Remove comment.
Checking whether the gcore command is included in the GDB build as
proxy for checking whether core dumping is supported by the target is
useless, as gcore.o has been in COMMON_OBS since git 9b4eba8e:
2009-10-26 Michael Snyder <msnyder@vmware.com>

* Makefile.in (SFILES): Add gcore.c.
(COMMON_OBS): Add gcore.o.
* config/alpha/alpha-linux.mh (NATDEPFILES): Delete gcore.o.
* config/alpha/fbsd.mh (NATDEPFILES): Ditto.
...
IOW, the command is always included in the build.
Instead, nowadays, tests bail out if actually trying to generate a
core fails with an indication the target doesn't support it. See
gdb_gcore_cmd and callers.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Recent gdb code refactor changes LONGEST from a macro to a typedef,

This integrates Jan Kratochvil's nice race reproducer from PR

gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (check-read1): New rule.
Consider an array described in the debugging information as being
a typedef of an array type for which there is a DW_AT_data_location
attribute. Trying to print the value of that array currently yields
incorrect element values. For instance:
(gdb) print foo.three_tdef
$1 = (6293760, 0, 6293772)
The problem occurs because we check for the data_location attribute
only on the typedef type, whereas we should be checking for the
typedef's target type. As a result, GDB erroneously thinks that
there is no data_location, and therefore starts reading the array's
content from the address of the descriptor instead of the data_location
address.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* value.c (value_from_contents_and_address): Strip resolved_type's
typedef layers before checking its TYPE_DATA_LOCATION.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

This fixes PR symtab/14604, PR symtab/14605, and Jan's test at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00158.html, in a tree
with bddbbed reverted:
2014-07-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* value.c (allocate_optimized_out_value): Don't mark value as
non-lazy.
The PRs are about variables described by the DWARF as being split over
multiple registers using DWARF piece information, but some of those
registers being marked as optimised out (not saved) by a later frame.
GDB currently incorrectly mishandles these partially-optimized-out
values.
Even though we can usually tell from the debug info whether a local or
global is optimized out, handling the case of a local living in a
register that was not saved in a frame requires fetching the variable.
GDB also needs to fetch a value to tell whether parts of it are
"<unavailable>". Given this, it's not worth it to try to avoid
fetching lazy optimized-out values based on debug info alone.
So this patch makes GDB track which chunks of a value's contents are
optimized out like it tracks <unavailable> contents. That is, it
makes value->optimized_out be a bit range vector instead of a boolean,
and removes the struct lval_funcs check_validity and check_any_valid
hooks.
Unlike Andrew's series which this is based on (at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00300.html, note some
pieces have gone in since), this doesn't merge optimized out and
unavailable contents validity/availability behind a single interface,
nor does it merge the bit range vectors themselves (at least yet).
While it may be desirable to have a single entry point that returns
existence of contents irrespective of what may make them
invalid/unavailable, several places want to treat optimized out /
unavailable / etc. differently, so each spot that potentially could
use it will need to be careful considered on case-by-case basis, and
best done as a separate change.
This fixes Jan's test, because value_available_contents_eq wasn't
considering optimized out value contents. It does now, and because of
that it's been renamed to value_contents_eq.
A new intro comment is added to value.h describing "<optimized out>",
"<not saved>" and "<unavailable>" values.

In gdb.base/watchpoint-hw-hit-once.exp, test scans source and set
breakpoint on the line having "break-at-exit",
gdb_breakpoint [gdb_get_line_number "break-at-exit"]
However, in watchpoint-hw-hit-once.c, there are two lines having
this key word:
dummy = 1; /* Stub to catch break-at-exit after WATCHEE has been hit. */
dummy = 2; /* break-at-exit */
so the test sets breakpoint on the first one, while I think it is
expected to set breakpoint on the second one, as far as I can tell
from the comments in watchpoint-hw-hit-once.c:
/* Stub lines are present as no breakpoints/watchpoint gets hit if current PC
already stays on the line PC while entering "step"/"continue". */
This patch is to change the source matching pattern so that test
can correctly set breakpoint on the right line. This patch fixes

The hard-VFP ABI was supported by GDB overal, done by this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00686.html but
"vectors and complex types are not currently supported", mentioned in
the patch. As a result, these tests fail.
This patch is to support _Complex types in hard-VFP abi. As specified
in "7.1.1, Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Arch", the layout of
_Complex types is a struct, which is identical to the layout on amd64,
so I copy Mark's comments to amd64 support.

This introduces common-debug.h. This holds the functions debug_printf
and debug_vprintf, two functions that the common code can use to print
debugging messages. Clients of the common code are expected to
implement debug_vprintf; a debug_vprintf function is written from
scratch for GDB, and gdbserver's existing debug_printf is repurposed
as debug_vprintf.
common/agent.c is changed to use debug_vprintf rather than

The testcase generates an assembly file where a second DW_AT_upper_bound
attribute gets generated in the array range. This was definitely
unintentional, and I only noticed this after pushing the testcase,
when dumping one more time the DWARF data using readelf.
This patch fixes it.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/data-loc.exp: Remove second DW_AT_upper bound
attribute in array range.
This testcase allows us to test the proper processing of both
DW_AT_data_location and DW_OP_push_object_address using a hand-crafted
testcase duplicating how we expect the Ada compiler to represent
unbounded arrays.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/data-loc.c, gdb.dwarf2/data-loc.exp: New files.
Consider an Ada array type where the DWARF debugging info for
at least one of the bounds involves an expression containing
a DW_OP_push_object_address operation. Trying to "ptype" that
type currently yields:
(gdb) ptype foo.array_type
type = array (Location address is not set.
This patch improves ada-typeprint by adding handling of the situation
where an array range type has dynamic bounds. In that case, it prints
the array bounds using Ada's typical syntax for unbounded ranges "<>":
(gdb) ptype array_type
type = array (<>) of integer

Now that the OP_VAR_VALUE section of this function has been reorganized
a bit, we can fall-back on standard evaluation when static fixing is
not required. This patch does that, but being exclusive about when
static fixing has to be used, rather than doing it all the time when
noside is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS.
This will pave the way for later when we want to evaluate entities
that have no GNAT encodings related to them but dynamic properties
instead. In that case, we expect the standard evaluation to resolve
those dynamic properties for us, even in no-side-effect mode.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_VAR_VALUE>:
When noside is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS, only return a statically
fixed value for records and unions for which some GNAT encodings
are present.
The OP_VAR_VALUE branch in ada_evaluate_subexp is written with
multiple "if ... else if ... else if ... else ..." block. But
in practice, these blocks all either goto out of that block of
code, or return.
This patch rewrites this code slightly by replacing the "else if"-s
by simple "if"s. This should better reflect the ideal processing
where we try to do a standard eval whenever possible, and only
do something else when the standard eval does not work. On a pratical
level, this patch makes it easier to fall through to the default
processing when none of the special situations are detected, thus
making it easier to add more handlers of those special situations;
or to remove them as they no longer become necessary!
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_VAR_VALUE>: Slight code
rewrite to avoid "else if" and "else" constructs. Should be
a no-op in practice.
I just happen to notice that a lexical block was missing one
indentation level.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_VAR_VALUE>: Fix identation
of lexical block.
This is a fix for PR c++/17132.
If this new argument is set to EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS, then the object's
memory will not be read while picking the best overload match.
gdb/
* eval.c: Update all calls to find_overload_match.
* valarith.c: Likewise.
(value_user_defined_cpp_op, value_user_defined_op): New
argument NOSIDE. Update all callers.
* valops.c (find_overload_match): New argument NOSIDE.
* value.h (find_overload_match): Update signature.
gdb/testsuite
* gdb.cp/pr17132.cc: New file.
* gdb.cp/pr17132.exp: New file.
gdb/
* python/lib/gdb/command/xmethods.py (set_xm_status1): Use the
'items' methods instead of 'iteritems' method on dictionaries.
gdb/testsuite/
* gdb.python/py-xmethods.py (A_getarrayind)
(E_method_char_worker.__call__, E_method_int_worker.__call__):
Use 'print' with function call syntax.
(E_method_matcher.match): Fix tab vs space indentation mixup.
This include is needed because gdbarch_dummy_id needs the full
definition of struct frame_id.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh: #include "frame.h" in gdbarch.h. Delete "struct
frame_info" partial declaration.
* gdbarch.h: Regenerate.
Tested on x86_64-linux by rebuilding GDB.
I added proc generate_tracefile in this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00591.html but
tfile.exp isn't skipped as changelog entry said:
* gdb.trace/tfile.exp: Skip the test if generate_tracefile
return 0.
it is a mistake I made at the last minute. Patch below fixed it.
gdb/testsuite:

* gdb.trace/tfile.exp: Return -1 if generate_tracefile returns
false.
GDB in default prints the symbol associated on an address, and tests
assume that there is no symbol on address zero. However, on bare
metal target, address may be mapped to zero and there may be a
symbol. Then, some tests fail as below:
print const_cast<void *> (0)^M
$8 = (void *) 0x0 <_ftext>^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/casts.exp: const_cast of 0
p acp->c1^M
$9 = (A *) 0x0 <_ftext>^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/class2.exp: p acp->c1
This patch is to set print symbol off in these tests, like what
I did previously https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00257.html
gdb/testsuite:
2014-08-15 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>

* gdb.cp/overload.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.cp/templates.exp: Likewise.
Hi,
Parameter 'pst' of function dwarf_decode_lines_1 isn't used except
to compute decode_for_pst_p, which has been got in the caller
dwarf_decode_lines. I wonder it would be good if we just pass
'decode_for_pst_p'.
gdb:
2014-08-15 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf_decode_lines_1): Remove parameter 'pst'.
Add parameter 'decode_for_pst_p'. Callers update.
This patch is to fix the build error when GDB is configured as:
CFLAGS=-Wall ./configure --with-babeltrace; make
This patch adds one line of code in configure test to use local
variable 'pos'.
Note that we append -Werror to CFLAGS to catch the warning related to
assignment to scope. See more in this thread

message, it is redundant with "Reading symbols from ..." message.

The code becomes dead as GDB evolves. In 2003, Andrew Cagney post patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2003-10/msg00511.html to add target
read/write partial methods. They support query buffer size when both
OFFSET and LEN is zero, and it was used in avr-tdep.c and kod.c. Then,
Daniel added target_read_object_alloc and avr-tdep.c switches to use that
in patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00009.html
From then on, GDB on longer queries the buffer size, so the code
returning packet size in remote_xfer_partial became dead.
PR 17060 is duplicated of PR 9053, so I mention the latter in the
ChangeLog entry. Rebuild GDB with this patch. OK to apply?
I'll mark PR 17060 as duplicated once the patch is applied.
