This patch is in preparation for software single step support on ARM in
GDBServer. It adds a new shared function regcache_raw_read_unsigned and
regcache_raw_get_unsigned so that GDB and GDBServer can use the same call
to fetch a raw register into an integer.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 ARMv7 and x86.

This patch is in preparation for software single step support on ARM in
GDBServer. It refactors arm_*_software_single_step and sub-functions to
use regcache instead of frame to access registers so that the code can be
shared more easily between GDB and GDBServer.
Note also that since the intention is at some point to get rid of frame
completely in that function, memory reads have also been replaced by
read_memory_unsigned_integer rather than get_frame_memory_unsigned.

This patch in preparation for software single step support on ARM. It refactors
breakpoint_reinsert_addr into get_next_pcs so that multiple location can be
returned.
When software single stepping there can be multiple possible next addresses
because we're stepping over a conditional branch instruction, for example.
The operation get_next_pcs handles that by returning a vector of all the
possible next addresses.
Software breakpoints are installed at each location returned.

[PATCH] Remove support for LinuxThreads and vendor 2.4 kernels w/ backported NPTL
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-12/msg00214.html
We try to avoid using libthread_db.so to list threads in the inferior
when debugging live processes, but the code that decides whether to
use it decides incorrectly if you have more than one inferior, and the
current inferior doesn't have execution yet. The result is visible
as:
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 15397 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 <null>
(gdb) info threads
Cannot find new threads: generic error
(gdb)
Fix this by checking whether each inferior has execution rather than
just the current inferior.
By moving the core updating to linux-nat.c's update_thread_list
implementation, this also ends up fixing the
lwp-last-seen-running-on-core updating in the case we're debugging a
program that uses raw clone rather than pthreads, as linux-thread-db.c
isn't pushed in the target stack in that scenario.

Since we now rely on PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE being available (added in
Linux 2.5.46), we're relying on NPTL.
This commit removes the support for older LinuxThreads, as well as the
workarounds for vendor 2.4 kernels with NPTL backported.
- Rely on tkill being available.
- Assume gdb doesn't get cancel signals.
- Remove code that checks the LinuxThreads restart and cancel signals
in the inferior.
- Assume that __WALL is available.
- Assume that non-leader threads report WIFEXITED.
- Thus, no longer need to send signal 0 to check whether threads are
still alive.
- Update comments throughout.

The problem is that an instance of stack_item_t is created to adjust
stack for alignment, the item.len is correct, but item.data is buf,
which is wrong, because item.len can be greater than the length of
buf. This patch sets item.data to NULL, and only update sp (no
inferior memory writes on stack for this item).

We have code in configure.ac that tries to detect whether the compiler

with "-Wno-" options, because gcc doesn't error out for

This patch implements documentation updates for target remote mode fork and
exec events. A summary of the rationale for the changes made here:
* Connecting to a remote target -- explain that the two protocols exist.
* Connecting in target remote mode -- explain invoking gdbserver for target
remote mode, and move remote-specific text from original "Connecting to a
remote target" section.
* Connecting in target extended-remote mode -- promote this section from
"Using the gdbserver Program | Running gdbserver | Multi-Process Mode for
gdbserver". Put it next to the target remote mode section.
* Host and target files -- collect paragraphs dealing with how to locate
symbol files from original sections "Connecting to a remote target" and
"Using the gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver".
* Steps for connecting to a remote target -- used to be "Using the
gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver"
* Remote connection commands -- used to be the bulk of "Connecting to a
remote target". Added "target extended-remote" commands and information.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Announce fork and exec event support for target remote.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Forks): Correct Linux kernel version where
fork and exec events are supported, add notes about support
of these events in target remote mode.
(Connecting): Reorganize and clarify distinctions between
target remote, extended-remote, and multiprocess.
Reorganize related text from separate sections into new
sections.
(Server): Note effects of target extended-remote mode.
Delete section on Multi-Process Mode for gdbserver.
Move some text to "Connecting" node.
This patch implements support for fork and exec events with target remote
mode Linux targets. For such targets with Linux kernels 2.5.46 and later,
this enables follow-fork-mode, detach-on-fork and fork and exec
catchpoints.
The changes required to implement this included:
* Don't exit from gdbserver if there are still active inferiors.
* Allow changing the active process in remote mode.
* Enable fork and exec events in remote mode.
* Print "Ending remote debugging" only when disconnecting.
* Combine remote_kill and extended_remote_kill into a single function
that can handle the multiple inferior case for target remote. Also,
the same thing for remote_mourn and extended_remote_mourn.
* Enable process-style ptids in target remote.
* Remove restriction on multiprocess mode in target remote.

remote.
(remote_pid_to_str): Enable "process" style ptid string for
target remote.
(remote_supports_multi_process): Remove restriction on target
remote mode.
This patch updates tests for fork and exec events in target remote mode.
In the majority of cases this was a simple matter of removing some code
that disabled the test for target remote. In a few cases the test needed
to be disabled; in those cases the gdb_protocol was checked instead of
using the [is_remote target] etc.
In a couple of cases we needed to use clean_restart, since target remote
doesn't support the run command, and in one case we had to modify an expect
expression to allow for a "multiprocess-style" ptid.
Tested with the patch that implemented target remote mode fork and exec
event support.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (_initialize_cli_cmds): Extend help text for

When a a user uses 'list +' to list forward through a source file they
eventually reach the end of the source file. Subsequent uses of 'list
+' result in an error message like this, that let the user know they are
at the end of the source file:
Line number XXX out of range; FILENAME has YYY lines.
Compare this to the current behaviour of 'list -' which lists backwards
through a source file. When the user reaches the beginning of the
source file, subsequent uses of 'list -' result in the command silently
returning. This can be confusing if the previous uses of 'list -' have
scrolled off the users display, the user receives no reminder that the
have already seen the start of the file.
After this commit a use of 'list -' when the user has already seen the
start of a file will receive the following error:
Already at the start of FILENAME.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (list_command): Add an error when trying to use
'-' to scan read off the start of the source file.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

test.
(test_repeat_list_command): Add end of file error test.
(test_list_backwards): Add beginning of file error test.
There is an inconsistency with the handling of the special +/- arguments
to the list command.
For the very first time that list is used (after the inferior has
changed locations) then only the first character of the argument string
is checked, so 'list +BLAH' will operate as 'list +' and 'list -----FOO'
will operate as 'list -'. This compares to each subsequent use of list,
where the whole argument string is checked, so 'list +BLAH' will try to
list lines of code around the function '+BLAH'.
This commit unifies the behaviour so that the whole argument string is
checked, in order to list the next 10, or previous 10 lines from a file
only 'list +' and 'list -' are now valid.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c (list_command): Check that the argument string is
a single character, either '+' or '-'.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/list.exp (test_list_invalid_args): New function,
defined, and called.

inside a single if block, this helps group all related functionality
together. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

warnings. The warnings in question all come from missing headers,
like e.g.:
src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.c:28:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit' [enabled by default]
exit (1);
^
There's no point in trying to avoid to include standard headers. In
gdb.base/hangout.c's case, it's even dangerous, as that file calls
printf. In order to compile a call to a variatic function correctly,
a declaration must be visible.

Before, on systems that did not support PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, both GDB and
GDBServer coordinated with libthread_db.so to insert breakpoints at magic
locations in libpthread.so, in order to break at thread creation and
thread death.
Support for thread events was removed from GDBServer as patch:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-11/msg00466.html
This patch removes support for thread events in GDB.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2015-12-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Stack): Reorder menu.
It is possible to use multiple base addresses within a single address
range series, within the .debug_ranges section. The following is a
simplified example for 32-bit addresses:
.section ".debug_ranges"
.4byte 0xffffffff
.4byte BASE_1
.4byte START_OFFSET_1
.4byte END_OFFSET_1
.4byte START_OFFSET_2
.4byte END_OFFSET_2
.4byte 0xffffffff
.4byte BASE_2
.4byte START_OFFSET_3
.4byte END_OFFSET_3
.4byte 0
.4byte 0
In this example START/END 1 and 2 are relative to BASE_1, while
START/END 3 are relative to BASE_2.
Currently gdb does not correctly parse this DWARF, resulting in
corrupted address range information. This commit fixes this issue, and
adds a new test to cover this case.
In order to support testing of this feature extensions were made to the
testsuite dwarf assembler, additional functionality was added to the
.debug_line generation function, and a new function for generating the
.debug_ranges section was added.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_ranges_read): Unify and fix base address
reading code.

FAIL: gdb.base/vla-ptr.exp: print td_vla
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-vla-c99.exp: evaluate complete vla
The first failure in this bunch occurs due to printing an incorrect
result for a variable length array:
print int_vla
$1 = {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1}
The result should actually be this:
$1 = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}
When I started examining this bug, I found that printing an
individual array element worked correctly. E.g. "print int_vla[2]"
resulted in 4 being printed. I have not looked closely to see why
this is the case.
I found that evaluation of the location expression for int_vla was
causing problems. This is the relevant DWARF entry for int_vla:
<2><15a>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_variable)
<15b> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xbf): int_vla
<15f> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<160> DW_AT_decl_line : 35
<161> DW_AT_type : <0x393>
<165> DW_AT_location : 4 byte block: 86 7a 94 2 (DW_OP_breg22 (r22): -6; DW_OP_deref_size: 2)
I found that DW_OP_breg22 was providing a correct result.
DW_OP_deref_size was fetching the correct value from memory. However,
the value being fetched should be considered a pointer.
DW_OP_deref_size zero extends the fetched value prior to pushing
it onto the evaluation stack. (The DWARF-4 document specifies this
action; so GDB is faithfully implementing the DWARF-4 specification.)
However, zero extending the pointer is not sufficient for converting
that value to an address for rl78 and (perhaps) other architectures
which define a `pointer_to_address' method. (I suspect that m32c
would have the same problem.)
Ideally, we would perform the pointer to address conversion in
DW_OP_deref_size. We don't, however, know the type of the object
that the address refers to in DW_OP_deref_size. I can't think
of a way to infer the type at that point in the code.
Before proceeding, I should note that there are two other DWARF
operations that could be used in place of DW_OP_deref_size. One of
these is DW_OP_GNU_deref_type. Current GDB implements this operation,
but as is obvious from the name, it is non-standard DWARF. The other
operation is DW_OP_xderef_size. Even though it's part of DWARF-2
through DWARF-4 specifications, it's not presently implemented in GDB.
Present day GCC does not output dwarf expressions containing this
operation either. [Of the two, I like DW_OP_GNU_deref_type better.
Using it avoids the need to specify an "address space identifier".
(GCC, GDB, and other non-free tools all need to agree on the meanings
of these identifiers.)]
Back to the bug analysis...
The closest consumer of the DW_OP_deref_size result is the
DWARF_VALUE_MEMORY case in dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full. At that
location, we do know the object type to which the address is intended
to refer. I added code to perform a pointer to address conversion at
this location. (See the patch.)
I do have some misgivings regarding this patch. As noted earlier, it
would really be better to perform the pointer to address conversion in
DW_OP_deref_size. I can't, however, think of a way to make this work.
Changing GCC to output one of the other aforementioned operations might
be preferable but, as noted earlier, these solutions have problems as
well. Long term, I think it'd be good to have something like
DW_OP_GNU_deref_type become part of the standard. If that can't or
won't happen, we'll need to implement DW_OP_xderef_size.
But until that happens, this patch will work for expressions in which
DW_OP_deref_size occurs last. It should even work for dereferences
followed by adding an offset. I don't think it'll work for more than
one dereference in the same expression.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): Perform a pointer
to address conversion for DWARF_VALUE_MEMORY.
This change eliminates some failures on simulator targets and makes
the test run a bit quicker too - without this change, we have to wait

This set of patches add support for the zero-padded hexadecimal format for

non-zero-padded hexadecimal.
Talking with IDE developers, they would like to have this option that is
already available to GDB's print/x commands, in the CLI, as 'z'.

When `info float` is used on an AMD64 system, GDB prints
floating-point values of x87 registers with raw contents like
0x361a867a8e0527397ce0 or 0xc4f988454a1ddd3cfdab wrongly.
This happens due to truncation to double, after which the former
becomes 0.0, and the latter becomes negative infinity. This is caused
by failed detection of x86-64 host, which results in setting
gdb_host_{float,double,long_double}_format to zeros.
This commit fixes this misdetection, and adds a test to make sure
future commits don't introduce a regression here.

In commit 6085d6f6, Z0 packet is disabled in aarch64 GDBserver if
the inferior is 32-bit or there may be multiple inferiors, because
Z0 packet isn't supported for arm then. Recently, Z0 packet
is supported in arm target, so we don't have such limitation in
aarch64 GDBserver, that is to say, aarch64 GDBserver can use Z0
packet in multi-arch/multi-inferior debugging when the inferior's
arch is arm.
Part of this patch is to revert 6085d6f6, and the rest of the patch
is to move some breakpoint related arm_* functions into
linux-aarch32-low.c in order to share them between arm and aarch64.
This patch is regression tested on aarch64-linux for debugging both
aarch64 programs and arm programs respectively.

So far, trying to evaluate an expression involving a function call for
which GDB could find multiple function candidates outputs a menu so that
the user can select the one to run. For instance, with the two
following functions:
type New_Integer is new Integer;
function F (I : Integer) return Boolean;
function F (I : New_Integer) return Boolean;
Then we get the following GDB session:
(gdb) print f(1)
Multiple matches for f
[0] cancel
[1] foo.f at foo.adb:23
[2] foo.f at foo.adb.28
>
While the source location information is sufficient in order to
determine which one to select, one has to look for them in source files,
which is not convenient.
This commit tunes this menu in order to also include the list of formal
and return types (if any) in each entry. The above then becomes:
(gdb) print f(1)
Multiple matches for f
[0] cancel
[1] foo.f (integer) return boolean at foo.adb:23
[2] foo.f (foo.new_integer) return boolean at foo.adb.28
