Reported by Rich Felker when building on 32-bit hosts. Backwards jump
negative offsets were not calculated correctly due to improper 32-bit
to 64-bit zero-extension. The 64-bit fields are present because we
are mixing 32-bit and 64-bit architectures in our cpu descriptions.
Removing 64-bit fixes the issue. We don't use 64-bit, there is an architecture
spec for 64-bit but no implementations or simulators. My thought is if
we need them in the future we should do the proper work to support both
32-bit and 64-bit implementations co-existing then.

The linker silently writes out a conditional branch to 0 if the
target symbol in R_AARCH64_CONDBR19 or R_AARCH64_TSTBR14 relocations is
undefined. Emit a PLT instead so that behaviour is the same for these
relocations as the llvm linker.
The special behaviour for undefined weak symbols, where conditional
branches to such symbols result in a branch unto themselves, has been
retained. This is because the weak-undefined.s test explicitly checks
for that, leading me to conclude that it's expected behaviour.

Remove unused ps_lgetLDT etc. on Solaris/x86 [PR25981]
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168713.html
A 32-bit-default gdb fails to compile with the updated <sys/regset.h>.
While it is also affected by the lack of a GS definition, which the
compantion patch above fixes, it also fails to compile i386-sol2-nat.c like
this
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/git/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:181:3: error: 'EAX' was not declared in this scope
181 | EAX, ECX, EDX, EBX,
| ^~~
and several more.
While this could be fixed by either including <ucontext.h> here or
provding fallback definitions of the register macros, I chose to do what
the 64-bit-default code in the same file
(amd64_sol2_gregset32_reg_offset[]) does, namely just hardcode the
numeric values instead. They are part of the ABI and thus guaranteed
not to change.
With this patch, a i386-pc-solaris2.11 configuration on master compiles
again, however, it doesn't work. However, I could successfully test it
on the gdb-9 branch.
Compiling and testing proved to be messy, unfortunately:
* For one, Solaris <sys/procfs.h> and largefile support used to be
mutually exclusive (fixed in Solaris 11.4 and Illumos), which was
exacerbated by the fact that g++ predefines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 since
GCC 9.1.0. For now I've worked around this by adding
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS to CXXFLAGS and configuring with
--disable-largefile. I hope to clean this up in a future patch.
* gdb still defaults to startup-with-shell on. However, /bin/bash is a
64-bit executable which cannot be debugged by a 32-bit gdb. I hacked
around that part by pointing $SHELL at a 32-bit bash before running
make check.
PR build/25981
* i386-sol2-nat.c [PR_MODEL_NATIVE != PR_MODEL_LP64] (regmap):
Hardcode register numbers.
As reported in PR build/25981, a future Solaris 11.4 update will soon
remove the short i386 register names like SS etc. from <sys/regset.h>.
They could leak into user code (e.g. via <signal.h> -> <sys/signal.h> ->
<sys/ucontext.h>) and pollute the user namespace. Affected code would
have a hard time avoiding the issue: LLVM is one of those.
While the short names are required to be present by the i386 psABI, that
document only demands that they exist in <ucontext.h>, which is what the
upcoming update assures.
With this change, in a 64-bit-default configuration, procfs.c fails to
compile on Solaris/x86:
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/git/gdb/procfs.c: In function 'ssd* procfs_find_LDT_entry(ptid_t)':
/vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/git/gdb/procfs.c:1643:18: error: 'GS' was not declared in this scope
1643 | key = (*gregs)[GS] & 0xffff;
| ^~
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1607: procfs.o] Error 1
Initially I meant to provide a definition using the planned replacement
macro, but closer inspection revealed a better way. procfs_find_LDT_entry
and its helper proc_get_LDT_entry are only used to implement ps_lgetLDT,
one of the callback functions required by libthread_db.so.1
(cf. <proc_service.h>). While that function is still documented as being
required even in Solaris 11.4, I found that calls to it had been removed
long ago in Solaris 9, so just removing the three functions above is the
easiest fix.
The following patch does just that. It compiled successfully on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11, however, as reported in PR gdb/25939, master is
completely broken on Solaris since the multi-target patch. The patch
applies cleanly to the gdb-9 branch and there I could test it
successfully.

In the following conditions:
- A target with hardware breakpoints available, and
- A target that uses software single stepping,
- An instruction at ADDRESS loops back to itself,
Now consider the following steps:
1. The user places a hardware breakpoint at ADDRESS (an instruction
that loops to itself),
2. The inferior runs and hits the breakpoint at ADDRESS,
3. The user tells GDB to 'continue'.
In #3 when the user tells GDB to continue, GDB first disables the
hardware breakpoint at ADDRESS, and then inserts a software
single-step breakpoint at ADDRESS. The original user-created
breakpoint was a hardware breakpoint, while the single-step breakpoint
will be a software breakpoint.
GDB continues and immediately hits the software single-step
breakpoint.
GDB then deletes the software single-step breakpoint by calling
delete_single_step_breakpoints, which eventually calls
delete_breakpoint, which, once the breakpoint (and its locations) are
deleted, calls update_global_location_list.
During update_global_location_list GDB spots that we have an old
location (the software single step breakpoint location) that is
inserted, but being deleted, and a location (the original hardware
breakpoint) at the same address which we are keeping, but which is not
currently inserted, GDB then calls breakpoint_locations_match on these
two locations.
Currently the locations do match, and so GDB calls swap_insertion
which swaps the "inserted" state of the two locations. The user
created hardware breakpoint is marked as inserted, while the GDB
internal software single step breakpoint is now marked as not
inserted. After this GDB returns through the call stack and leaves
delete_single_step_breakpoints.
After this GDB continues with its normal "stopping" process, as part
of this stopping process GDB removes all the breakpoints from the
target. Due to the swap it is now the user-created hardware
breakpoint that is marked as inserted, so it is this breakpoint GDB
tries to remove.
The problem is that GDB inserted the software single-step breakpoint
as a software breakpoint, but is now trying to remove the hardware
breakpoint. The problem is removing a software breakpoint is very
different to removing a hardware breakpoint, this could result is some
undetected undefined behaviour, or as in the original bug report (PR
gdb/25741), could result in the target throwing an error.
With "set breakpoint always-inserted on", we can easily reproduce this
against GDBserver. E.g.:
(gdb) hbreak main
Sending packet: $m400700,40#28...Packet received: 89e58b....
Sending packet: $m400736,1#fe...Packet received: 48

(gdb) del
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y
Sending packet: $z0,400736,1#67...Packet received: E01
warning: Error removing breakpoint 2
This patch adds a testcase that does exactly that.
Trying to enhance GDB to handle this scenario while continuing to
avoid inserting redundant software and hardware breakpoints at the
same address turns out futile, because, given non-stop and breakpoints
always-inserted, if the user:
#1 - inserts a hw breakpoint, then
#2 - inserts a sw breakpoint at the same address, and then
#3 - removes the original hw breakpoint,
GDB would have to make sure to insert the sw breakpoint before
removing the hw breakpoint, to avoid running threads missing the
breakpoint. I.e., there's always going to be a window where a target
needs to be able to handle both sw and a hw breakpoints installed at
the same address. You can see more detailed description of that issue
here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-April/167738.html
So the fix here is to just stop considering software breakpoints and
hw breakpoints duplicates, and let GDB insert sw and hw breakpoints at
the same address.
The central change is to make breakpoint_locations_match consider the
location's type too. There are several other changes necessary to
actually make that that work correctly, however:
- We need to handle the duplicates detection better. Take a look at
the loop at the tail end of update_global_location_list. Currently,
because breakpoint locations aren't sorted by type, we can end up
with, at the same address, a sw break, then a hw break, then a sw
break, etc. The result is that that second sw break won't be
considered a duplicate of the first sw break. Seems like we already
handle that incorrectly for range breakpoints.
- The "set breakpoint auto-hw on" handling is moved out of
insert_bp_location to update_global_location_list, before the
duplicates determination.
Moving "set breakpoint auto-hw off" handling as well and downgrading
it to a warning+'disabling the location' was considered too, but in
the end discarded, because we want to error out with internal and
momentary breakpoints, like software single-step breakpoints.
Disabling such locations at update_global_location_list time would
make GDB lose control of the inferior.
- In update_breakpoint_locations, the logic of matching old locations
with new locations, in the have_ambiguous_names case, is updated to
still consider sw vs hw locations the same.
- Review all ALL_BP_LOCATIONS_AT_ADDR uses, and update those that
might need to be updated, and update comments for those that don't.
Note that that macro walks all locations at a given address, and
doesn't call breakpoint_locations_match.
The result against GDBserver (with "set breakpoint
condition-evaluation host" to avoid seeing confusing reinsertions) is:
(gdb) hbreak main
Sending packet: $m400736,1#fe...Packet received: 48

* gdb.texinfo (Help): Document the help and apropos changes.
(Aliases): Document new meaning of -a abbreviation flag.
This commit finally does the (small) change that started this patch
series.
It ensures that the class_alias is only used for user-defined aliases.
So, the few GDB pre-defined aliases that were using the 'class_alias'
class are now using a real help class, typically the class of
the aliased command.

* gdb.base/alias.exp: Verify 'help aliases' shows user defined aliases.
Similarly to 'help CLASS', apropos possibly shows several
times the same help (for the command and for each of its aliases).
This patch changes 'apropos' so that the help for a command and
all its aliases is shown once.
So, apropos_cmd now skips all aliases/abbreviations, as these are printed
as part of the help of the aliased command.
When 'apropos' prints the help of a command, function 'help_cmd' now
unconditionally print the command name and its possible aliases (as we must
indicate to the user the command/aliases for which the help is printed).
When 'help somecommand' prints the help of a command, if the command is not
aliased, the command name is not printed (to avoid a useless first line), but if
it has aliases, then the command name and all its aliases are now printed.
In addition to provide to the user the choice of the best way to
type a command, it also avoids the strange behaviour that the output
of 'help somealias' does not mention somealias.

* gdb.base/help.exp: Test apropos and help for commands
having aliases. Fixed comments not starting with an
upper-case letter or not finishing with a dot.
Currently, help CLASS possibly shows several times the same help,
as it shows it once for the command, and once for each alias.
The final objective of this patch series is to have class_alias used only
for user defined aliases, not anymore for aliases predefined by GDB.
The command 'help aliases' will then only show the user defined aliases.
So, the idea is that GDB predefined aliases will be shown together
with their aliased command.
This commit changes 'help CLASS' so that a command is shown once in the output,
with all its aliases.
This ensures:
* that the user has only to read once the same help text
* and sees the command and all its aliases in a glance, a.o. allowing
the user to choose the preferred way (e.g. the shortest one,
or the most mnemonic one) to type the command.
For example, the old output:
(gdb) help stack
...
List of commands:
backtrace -- Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
bt -- Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
...
(note that 'where' is not shown in this output)
becomes
(gdb) help stack
...
List of commands:
backtrace, where, bt -- Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
...
The output layout chosen is to have the command first, followed by all its
aliases separated by a comma. Note that the command and alias names are
title-styled. For sure, other layouts could be discussed, but this one is IMO
readable and compact.
The function 'help_cmd_list' can be simplified by removing the prefix argument,
as the prefixname of a command can now be retrieved in the GDB command tree
structure.
This also fixes the fact that 'help aliases' wrongly shows a long
list of (non-alias) when defining an alias for a prefix command.
For example, after:
(gdb) alias montre = show
then
(gdb) help aliases
shows hundreds of sub-commands starting with the non aliased command,
such as:
montre -- Generic command for showing things about the debugger.
show ada -- Generic command for showing Ada-specific settings.
show ada print-signatures -- Show whether the output of formal ...
....
'help_cmd_list' is also made static, as it is only used inside cli-decode.c.
Note that the 'help CLASS' is somewhat broken, in the sense that it
sometimes shows too many commands (commands not belonging to CLASS)
and sometimes shows not enough commands (not showing some commands
belonging to CLASS).
For example, 'help breakpoints' shows the command
'disable pretty-printer' and 'disable unwinder', not related to breakpoints.
On the other end, 'help stack' does not show 'disable unwinder'
while 'disable unwinder' is defined in unwinders.py as belonging to class_stack.
Fixing the missing commands is easy to do,
but fixing the excess commands is not straightforward, as many
subcommands have a class 'no_class' or 'all_class'.
Possibly, some of this might be improved/fixed in another patch series.
With this patch series, the 'abbrev flag' has as only remaining purpose
to avoid having the abbreviation alias appearing in the completion list,
so change 'help alias' accordingly.

2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.base/alias.exp: Update help output check.
cmd_show_list function implements the 'show' command.
cmd_show_list output is inconsistent: it sometimes shows a prefix
and sometimes does not.
For example, in the below, you see that there is a prefix before
each value, except for 'enabled'.
(gdb) show style
style address background: The "address" style background color is: none
style address foreground: The "address" style foreground color is: blue
style address intensity: The "address" style display intensity is: normal
enabled: CLI output styling is enabled.
style filename background: The "filename" style background color is: none
...
There are other inconsistencies or bugs e.g. in
the below we see twice insn-number-max, once with a prefix
and once without prefix : last line, just before the value of
instruction-history-size which is itself without prefix.
(gdb) show record
record btrace bts buffer-size: The record/replay bts buffer size is 65536.
record btrace cpu: btrace cpu is 'auto'.
record btrace pt buffer-size: The record/replay pt buffer size is 16384.
record btrace replay-memory-access: Replay memory access is read-only.
record full insn-number-max: Record/replay buffer limit is 200000.
record full memory-query: Whether query if PREC cannot record memory change of next instruction is off.
record full stop-at-limit: Whether record/replay stops when record/replay buffer becomes full is on.
function-call-history-size: Number of functions to print in "record function-call-history" is 10.
insn-number-max: instruction-history-size: Number of instructions to print in "record instruction-history" is 10.
(gdb)
Also, some values are output several times due to some aliases, so avoid outputting duplicated
values by skipping all aliases.
Now that the command structure has a correct 'back-pointer' from a command
to its prefix command, we can simplify cmd_show_list by removing its prefix argument
and at the same time fix the output inconsistencies and bugs.

* gdb.base/default.exp: Update output following fixes.
This test revealed a number of problems that are fixed in the previous commit.
2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* unittests/command-def-selftests.c (traverse_command_structure):
Verify all commands of a list have the same prefix command and
that only the top cmdlist commands have a null prefix.
The next commit updates command-def-selftests.c to detect missing
or wrong prefix commands in a list of subcommands.
This command structure selftest detects a series of problems
that are fixed by this commit.
Many commands have a null prefix command, e.g.
(gdb) maintenance selftest command_str
Running selftest command_structure_invariants.
list 0x560417949cb8 reachable via prefix 'append binary '. command 'memory' has null prefixcmd
list 0x560417949cb8 reachable via prefix 'append binary '. command 'value' has null prefixcmd
...
Most of these are fixed by the following changes:
* do_add_cmd searches the prefix command having the list
in which the command is added.
This ensures that a command defined after its prefix command
gets the correct prefix command.
* Due to the GDB initialization order, a GDB file can define
a subcommand before the prefix command is defined.
So, have add_prefix_cmd calling a new recursive function
'update_prefix_field_of_prefix_commands' to set the prefix
command of all sub-commands that are now reachable from
this newly defined prefix command. Note that this recursive
call replaces the function 'set_prefix_cmd' that was providing
a partial solution to this problem.
Following that, 2 python commands (defined after all the other GDB
commands) got a wrong prefix command, e.g. "info frame-filter" has
as prefix command the "i" alias of "info". This is fixed by having
lookup_cmd_for_prefixlist returning the aliased command rather than
the alias.
After that, one remaining problem:
(gdb) maintenance selftest command_str
Running selftest command_structure_invariants.
list 0x55f320272298 reachable via prefix 'set remote '. command 'system-call-allowed' has null prefixcmd
Self test failed: self-test failed at ../../classfix/gdb/unittests/command-def-selftests.c:196
Ran 1 unit tests, 1 failed
(gdb)
Caused by initialize_remote_fileio that was taking the address of
its arguments remote_set_cmdlist and remote_show_cmdlist instead
of receiving the correct values to use as list.
2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* cli/cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd_for_prefix): Return the aliased command
as prefix, not one of its aliases.
(set_cmd_prefix): Remove.
(do_add_cmd): Centralize the setting of the prefix of a command, when
command is defined after its full chain of prefix commands.
(add_alias_cmd): Remove call to set_cmd_prefix, as do_add_cmd does it.
(add_setshow_cmd_full): Likewise.
(update_prefix_field_of_prefixed_commands): New function.
(add_prefix_cmd): Replace non working call to set_cmd_prefix by
update_prefix_field_of_prefixed_commands.
* gdb/remote-fileio.c (initialize_remote_fileio): Use the real
addresses of remote_set_cmdlist and remote_show_cmdlist given
as argument, not the address of an argument.
* gdb/remote-fileio.h (initialize_remote_fileio): Likewise.
* gdb/remote.c (_initialize_remote): Likewise.
When an alias name starts with the name of another alias,
GDB was accepting to define the aliases in one order (short first, long after),
but refused it the other way around.
So, fix the logic to recognise an already existing alias by using
lookup_cmd_composition.
Also, this revealed a bug in lookup_cmd_composition:
when the searched command is a prefix command, lookup_cmd_composition
was not returning the fact that a command was found even if the
TEXT to parse was fully consumed.

* cli/cli-cmds.c (alias_command): Check for an existing alias
using lookup_cmd_composition, as valid_command_p is too strict
and forbids aliases that are the prefix of an existing alias
or command.
