This commit aims to give a cleaner mechanism by which the user can
prevent GDB from trying to load any previous command history.
Currently the user can change the path to the history file, either
using a command line flag, or by setting the GDBHISTFILE environment
variable, and if the path is set to a non-existent file, then
obviously GDB wont load any command history. However, this feels like
a bit of a bodge, I'd like to add an official mechanism by which we
can disable command history loading.
Why would we want to prevent command history loading? The specific
use case I have is GDB starting with a CWD that is a network mounted
directory, and there is no command history present. Still GDB will
access the network in order to check for the file. In my particular
use case I'm actually starting a large number of GDB instances in
parallel, all in the same network mounted directory, the large number
of network accesses looking for this file introduces a noticeable
delay at GDB startup.
The approach I'm proposing here is a slight adjustment to the current
rules for setting up the history filename. Currently, if a user does
this, they see an error:
(gdb) set history filename
Argument required (filename to set it to.).
However, if a user does this:
$ GDBHISTFILE= gdb --quiet
(gdb) set history save on
(gdb) q
warning: Could not rename -gdb18416~ to : No such file or directory
So, we already have a bug in this area. My plan is to allow the empty
filename to be accepted, and for this to mean, neither load, nor save
the command history.
This does mean that we now have two mechanisms to prevent saving the
command history:
(gdb) set history filename
or
(gdb) set history save off
But the only way to prevent loading the command history is to set the
filename to the empty string _before_ you get to a GDB prompt, either
using a command line option, or the environment variable.
I've updated some of the show commands, for example this session:
(gdb) set history filename
(gdb) show history filename
There is no filename currently set for recording the command history in.
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history record on exit is off.
(gdb) set history save on
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history is disabled due to the value of 'history filename'.
(gdb) set history filename /tmp/hist
(gdb) show history save
Saving of the history record on exit is on.
I've updated the manual, and added some tests.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.
GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.
This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.
For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.

This changes the TUI layout engine to add horizontal splitting. Now,
windows can be side-by-side.
A horizontal split is defined using the "-horizontal" parameter to
"tui new-layout".
This also adds the first "winheight" test to the test suite. One open
question is whether we want a new "winwidth" command, now that
horizontal layouts are possible. This is easily done using the
generic layout code.

This adds a new command, "tui new-layout". This command can be used
to define a new TUI window layout.
The command is used like:
(gdb) tui new-layout name src 1 regs 1 status 0 cmd 1
The first argument is the name of the layout. In this example, it is
"name", so the new layout could be seen by "layout name".
Subsequent arguments come in pairs, where the first item in a pair is
the name of a window, and the second item in a pair is the window's
weight. A weight is just an integer -- a window's allocated size is
proportional to the total of the weights given. So, in the above
example, all windows will have the same size (the status windows's
weight does not matter, because it has fixed height).

From what I can tell, The m68k floating point target feature should
apparently always be called "org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.fp" -- even when the
primary feature is not "coldfire", because m68k_gdbarch_init only
checks for this feature when assigning register numbers.
However, the floating point registers are expected to match what gdb
thinks are the register sizes for the primary feature. For example,
if the main feature is "coldfire", then the floating point registers
should be 64 bits.
See this note for some an instance of this confusion:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-06/msg04564.html
This patch documents the oddity.
Let me know what you think. An alternate approach here might be to
make gdb adapt to the register sizes as actually reported. I'm not
sure if this makes sense or not.

Adds a new parameter -max-results to -symbol-info-functions,
-symbol-info-variables, -symbol-info-types, and -symbol-info-modules.
This parameter limits the number of results returned.
This change still leaves -symbol-info-module-functions and
-symbol-info-module-variables always returning all results, fixing
these commands is slightly harder.
There's currently no mechanism for the user of these commands to know
if the result list has been truncated if you get back the maximum
number of results, so if there are exactly 10 functions and you call
'-symbol-info-functions --max-results 10' the reply would appear no
different than if you had 20 functions and called with a max of 10.
Right now, if you get back the maximum then you should assume that
there might be more results available.
One other thing to note is that the global_symbol_searcher::search by
default returns SIZE_MAX results, there's no longer a mechanism to
return an unlimited number of results, though hopefully this will not
be a huge issue.

As Sergio pointed out, the TUI resizing tests are flaky. Debugging
this showed three main problems.
1. expect's "stty" command processes its arguments one-by-one. So,
rather than requesting a single resize, it sends two separate resize
requests (one for rows and one for columns). This means gdb sees two
SIGWINCH signals and resizes the terminal twice.
I consider this a bug in expect, but I couldn't readily see how to
report a bug; and anyway the fix wouldn't propagate very quickly.
This patch works around this problem by explicitly doing two separate
resizes (so it will be robust if expect ever does change); and then by
waiting for each resize to complete before continuing.
2. gdb uses curses to drive the console rendering. Currently the test
suite looks for terminal text insertion sequences to decide when a
command has completed. However, it turns out that, sometimes, curses
can output things in non-obvious ways. I didn't debug into curses but
I guess this can happen due to output optimizations. No matter the
reason, sometimes the current approach of only tracking text
insertions is not enough to detect that gdb has finished rendering.
This patch fixes this problem by arranging to detect the termination
output after any curses command, not just insertion.
3. Detecting when a resize has completed is tricky. In fact, I could
not find a way to reliably do this.
This patch fixes this problem by adding a special maint
"tui-resize-message" setting to gdb. When this is enabled, gdb will
print a message after each SIGWINCH has been fully processed. The
test suite enables this mode and then waits for the message in order
to know when control can be returned to the calling test.
This patch also adds a timeout, to avoid the situation where the
terminal code fails to notice a change for some reason. This lets the
test at least try to continue.

This adds readline-bindable function names to a few gdb functions that
already had key bindings. This lets users change the bindings.
This also removes the gdb-command function. Due to how this function
is implemented, it doesn't make sense to allow binding it.
Finally, this updates the documentation to reflect these changes.

This patch adds two new commands "info module functions" and "info
module variables". These commands list all of the functions and
variables grouped by module and then by file.
For example:
(gdb) info module functions
All functions in all modules:
Module "mod1":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
35: void mod1::__copy_mod1_M1t1(Type m1t1, Type m1t1);
25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4));
31: integer(kind=4) mod1::sub_m1_b(void);
Module "mod2":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
41: void mod2::sub_m2_a(integer(kind=4), logical(kind=4));
49: logical(kind=4) mod2::sub_m2_b(real(kind=4));
The new commands take set of flags that allow the output to be
filtered, the user can filter by variable/function name, type, or
containing module.
As GDB doesn't currently track the relationship between a module and
the variables or functions within it in the symbol table, so I filter
based on the module prefix in order to find the functions or variables
in each module. What this makes clear is that a user could get this
same information using "info variables" and simply provide the prefix
themselves, for example:
(gdb) info module functions -m mod1 _a
All functions matching regular expression "_a",
in all modules matching regular expression "mod1":
Module "mod1":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4));
Is similar to:
(gdb) info functions mod1::.*_a.*
All functions matching regular expression "mod1::.*_a":
File /some/path/gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/info-types.f90:
25: void mod1::sub_m1_a(integer(kind=4));
The benefits I see for a separate command are that the user doesn't
have to think (or know) about the module prefix format, nor worry
about building a proper regexp. The user can also easily scan across
modules without having to build complex regexps.
The new function search_module_symbols is extern in this patch despite
only being used within symtab.c, this is because a later patch in this
series will also be using this function from outside symtab.c.
This patch is a new implementation of an idea originally worked on by
Mark O'Connor, Chris January, David Lecomber, and Xavier Oro from ARM.

Add a new command 'info modules' that lists all of the modules GDB
knows about from the debug information.
A module is a debugging entity in the DWARF defined with
DW_TAG_module, currently Fortran is known to use this tag for its
modules. I'm not aware of any other language that currently makes use
of DW_TAG_module.
The output style is similar to the 'info type' output:
(gdb) info modules
All defined modules:
File info-types.f90:
16: mod1
24: mod2
(gdb)
Where the user is told the file the module is defined in and, on the
left hand side, the line number at which the module is defined along
with the name of the module.

Mark O'Connor, Chris January, David Lecomber, and Xavier Oro from ARM.

This patch is a rebase and update of the following three patches:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-11/msg00298.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-11/msg00302.htmlhttps://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-11/msg00301.html
I have merged these together into a single commit as the second patch,
adding scope support to nested subroutines, means that some of the
changes in the first patch are now no longer useful and would have to
be backed out. The third patch is tightly coupled to the changes in
the second of these patches and I think deserves to live together with
it.
There is an extra change in cp-namespace.c that is new, this resolves
an issue with symbol lookup when placing breakpoints from within
nested subroutines.
There is also an extra test added to this commit 'nested-funcs-2.exp'
that was written by Richard Bunt from ARM, this offers some additional
testing of breakpoints on nested functions.
After this commit it is possible to place breakpoints on nested
Fortran subroutines and functions by using a fully scoped name, for
example, given this simple Fortran program:
program greeting
call message
contains
subroutine message
print *, "Hello World"
end subroutine message
end program greeting
It is possible to place a breakpoint in 'message' with:
(gdb) break greeting::message
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4006c9: file basic.f90, line 5.
What doesn't work with this commit is placing a breakpoint like this:
(gdb) break message
Function "message" not defined.
Making this work will come in a later commit.

This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the
Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more
fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the
existing "catch" syntax.
This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper
functions.

In Fedora GDB, we carry the following patch:
8ac06474ff/f/gdb-attach-fail-reasons-5of5.patch
Its purpose is to try to detect a specific scenario where SELinux's
'deny_ptrace' option is enabled, which prevents GDB from ptrace'ing in
order to debug the inferior (PTRACE_ATTACH and PTRACE_TRACEME will
fail with EACCES in this case).
I like the idea of improving error detection and providing more
information to the user (a simple "Permission denied" can be really
frustrating), but I don't fully agree with the way the patch was
implemented: it makes GDB link against libselinux only for the sake of
consulting the 'deny_ptrace' setting, and then prints a warning if
ptrace failed and this setting is on.
My first thought (and attempt) was to make GDB print a generic warning
when a ptrace error happened; this message would just point the user
to our documentation, where she could find more information about
possible causes for the error (and try to diagnose/fix the problem).
This proved to be too simple, and I was convinced that it is actually
a good idea to go the extra kilometre and try to pinpoint the specific
problem (or problems) preventing ptrace from working, as well as
provide useful suggestions on how the user can fix things.
Here is the patch I came up with. It implements a new function,
'linux_ptrace_restricted_fail_reason', which does a few things to
check what's wrong with ptrace:
- It dlopen's "libselinux.so.1" and checks if the "deny_ptrace"
option is enabled.
- It reads the contents of "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" and
checks if it's different than 0.
For each of these checks, if it succeeds, the user will see a message
informing about the restriction in place, and how it can be disabled.
For example, if "deny_ptrace" is enabled, the user will see:
# gdb /usr/bin/true
...
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Permission denied
The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB
from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
setsebool deny_ptrace off
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
During startup program exited with code 127.
(gdb)
In case "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" is > 0:
# gdb /usr/bin/true
...
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Operation not permitted
The Linux kernel's Yama ptrace scope is in effect, which can prevent
GDB from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
During startup program exited with code 127.
(gdb)
If both restrictions are enabled, both messages will show up.
This works for gdbserver as well, and actually fixes a latent bug I
found: when ptrace is restricted, gdbserver would hang due to an
unchecked ptrace call:
# gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Operation not permitted
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED!
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2668100 No such process
[ Here you would have to issue a C-c ]
Now, you will see:
# gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Permission denied
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED!
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2766868 No such process
gdbserver: Could not trace the inferior process.
gdbserver: ptrace: Permission denied
The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB
from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
setsebool deny_ptrace off
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
#
(I decided to keep all the other messages, even though I find them a
bit distracting).
If GDB can't determine the cause for the failure, it will still print
the generic error message which tells the user to check our
documentation:
There might be restrictions preventing ptrace from working. Please see
the appendix "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions" in the GDB documentation
for more details.
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
This means that the patch expands our documentation and creates a new
appendix section named "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions", with
sub-sections for each possible restriction that might be in place.
Notice how, on every message, we instruct the user to "do the right
thing" if gdbserver is being used. This is because if the user
started gdbserver *before* any ptrace restriction was in place, and
then, for some reason, one or more restrictions get enabled, then the
error message will be displayed both on gdbserver *and* on the
connected GDB. Since the user will be piloting GDB, it's important to
explicitly say that the ptrace restrictions are enabled in the target,
where gdbserver is running.
The current list of possible restrictions is:
- SELinux's 'deny_ptrace' option (detected).
- YAMA's /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope setting (detected).
- seccomp on Docker containers (I couldn't find how to detect).
It's important to mention that all of this is Linux-specific; as far
as I know, SELinux, YAMA and seccomp are Linux-only features.
I tested this patch locally, on my Fedora 30 machine (actually, a
Fedora Rawhide VM), but I'm not proposing a testcase for it because of
the difficulty of writing one.

Readline 8.0 has a feature that lets an application name a keymap.
This in turn makes it simpler for users to bind keys in keymaps in
their .inputrc.
This patch gives a name to the TUI SingleKey keymap, so that
additional bindings can be made there. For example:
$if gdb
set keymap SingleKey
"X": "echo hello\\n\n"
$endif
The call to rl_initialize, in tui_initialize_readline, had to be
removed so that .inputrc was not read too early. Note that Readline
explicitly documents that this call is not needed.

The 'directory' command allows the user to provide a list of filesystem
directories in which to search for source code. The directories in this
search path are used as the base directory for the source filename from
the debug information (DW_AT_name). Thus the directory search path
provides alternatives to the existing compilation directory from the
debug information (DW_AT_comp_dir). Generally speaking, DW_AT_name
stores the filename argument passed to the compiler (including any
directory components), and DW_AT_comp_dir stores the current working
directory from which the compiler was executed. For example:
$ cd /path/to/project/subdir1
$ gcc -c a/test.c -g
The corresponding debug information will look like this:
DW_AT_name : a/test.c
DW_AT_comp_dir : /path/to/project/subdir1
When compiling with the -fdebug-prefix-map GCC option, the compilation
directory can be arbitrarily rewritten. In the above example, we may
rewrite the compilation directory as follows:
$ gcc -c a/test.c -g -fdebug-prefix-map=/path/to/project=
In this case, the corresponding debug information will look like:
DW_AT_name : a/test.c
DW_AT_comp_dir : /subdir1
This prevents GDB from finding the corresponding source code based on
the debug information alone. In some cases, a substitute-path command
can be used to re-map a consistent prefix in the rewritten compilation
directory to the real filesystem path. However, there may not be a
consistent prefix remaining in the debug symbols (for example in a
project that has source code in many subdirectories under the project's
root), thereby requiring multiple substitute-path rules. In this case,
it is easier to add the missing prefix to the directory search path via
the 'directory' command.
The function find_and_open_source currently searches in:
SEARCH_PATH/FILENAME
where SEARCH_PATH corresponds to each individual entry in the directory
search path (which is guaranteed to contain the compilation directory
from the debug information, as well as the current working directory).
FILENAME corresponds to the source filename (DW_AT_name), which may have
directory components in it. In addition, GDB searches in:
SEARCH_PATH/FILE_BASENAME
where FILE_BASENAME is the basename of the DW_AT_name entry.
This change modifies find_and_open_source to additionally search in:
SEARCH_PATH/COMP_DIR/FILENAME
where COMP_DIR is the compilation directory from the debug symbols. In
the example given earlier, running:
(gdb) directory /path/to/project
will now allow GDB to correctly locate the source code from the debug
information.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* source.c (prepare_path_for_appending): New function.
(openp): Make use of new function.
(find_and_open_source): Search for the compilation directory and
source file as a relative path beneath the directory search path.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Source Path): Additional text to better describe
how the source path directory list is used when searching for
source files.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/source-dir.exp: Add extra test for mapped compilation
directory.
With this patch, we e.g. get:
[Switching to task 2 "task_list(1)"]
[Current task is 2 "task_list(1)"]
instead of
[Switching to task 2]
[Current task is 2]
The logic to produce the taskno optionally followed
by the task name has been factorized in the task_to_str function.
Task names are output between double quotes in the new messages,
similarly to what GDB does for thread names.
However, no quotes are put around task names in 'info tasks' Name column.
This was discussed with Tom, that preferred no quotes there, while I
was more in favour of visual consistency.
I discussed with a few more users, which led to (exactly) 50% preferring
quotes and 50% preferring no quotes :).
To arrive to the decision to remove the quotes, the following "killing args"
were used:
* To have quotes or to not have quotes, that is the question; yes
but not *THE* question :).
* If there is not a clear majority that prefers quotes, better to
not disturb the existing user basis for a (somewhat) irrelevant
aspect.
* The opinion of the reviewer has more weight.
So, compared to the previous version, this version remotes the quotes
in 'info tasks'.
It improves the alignement of 'info tasks' output.
With this patch, we get:
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
instead of
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
(e.g. the first one properly shows parent and priority under the
correct header).
This is version 4 of the 'task name' patch.
Compared to version 3, the changes are:
output task names between quotes but not in 'info tasks'

2019-09-10 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Index Files): Update Ada text.
The 'info variables', its alias 'whereis', and 'info functions' all
include non-debug symbols in the output by default. The list of
non-debug symbols can sometimes be quite long, resulting in the
debug symbol based results being scrolled off the screen.
This commit adds a '-n' flag to all of the commands listed above that
excludes the non-debug symbols from the results, leaving just the
debug symbol based results.

(GDB/MI Breakpoint Information) (Frame Information): Document
addr_field.
Armv8.3-a Pointer Authentication causes the function return address to be
obfuscated on entry to some functions. GDB must unmask the link register in
order to produce a backtrace.
The following patch adds markers of [PAC] to the bracktrace, to indicate
which addresses needed unmasking. This includes the backtrace when using MI.
For example, consider the following backtrace:
(gdb) bt
0 0x0000000000400490 in puts@plt ()
1 0x00000000004005dc in foo ("hello") at cbreak-lib.c:6
2 0x0000000000400604 [PAC] in bar () at cbreak-lib.c:12
3 0x0000000000400620 [PAC] in main2 () at cbreak.c:17
4 0x00000000004005b4 in main () at cbreak-3.c:10
The functions in cbreak-lib use pointer auth, which masks the return address
to the previous function, causing the addresses of bar (in the library) and main2
(in the main binary) to require unmasking in order to unwind the backtrace.
An extra bool is added alongside the prev_pc in the frame structure. At the
point at which the link register is unmasked, the AArch64 port calls into frame
to sets the bool. This is the most efficient way of doing it.
The marker is also added to the python frame printer, which is always printed if
set. The marker is not explicitly exposed to the python code.
I expect this will potentially cause issues with some tests in the testsuite
when Armv8.3 pointer authentication is used. This should be fixed up in the
the future once real hardware is available for full testsuite testing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Expand the Pointer Authentication entry.
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_frame_unmask_address): Rename from this.
(aarch64_frame_unmask_lr): ... to this.

(fprint_frame): Check for masked pc.
* frame.h (frame_set_previous_pc_masked) (frame_get_pc_masked): New
declarations.
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_frame): Check for masked pc.
* stack.c (print_frame): Check for masked pc.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (AArch64 Pointer Authentication): New subsection.
