This function returns the result of a quite big condition. I think it
would be more readeable if it was broken up in smaller pieces and
commented. This is what this patch does.
I also introduced gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping, since it shows
the intent better than checking for gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn_p.
I also used that new function in displaced_step_prepare_throw.
I also updated the comment on top of can_use_displaced_stepping, which
seemed a bit outdated with respect to non-stop. The comment likely
dates from before it was possible to have targets that always operate
non-stop under the hood, even when the user-visible mode is all-stop.
No functional changes intended.

* infrun.c (gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping): New.
(use_displaced_stepping): Break up conditions in smaller pieces.

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.

The floating point register interface has changed to this:
https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/sys/arch/arm/include/reg.h
It now uses VFP instead of FPA registers. This patch updates
arm-nbsd-nat.c accordingly.
Also implements read_description so that these registers are correctly
printed by "info registers" et al.
Tested by compiling & running on arm-netbsd on qemu.

commit 5b6d1e4fa4
Date: Fri Jan 10 20:06:08 2020 +0000
Multi-target support
There was a regression in GDB's support for older aspects of the
remote protocol. Specifically, when a target sends the 'S' stop reply
packet (which doesn't include a thread-id) then GDB has to figure out
which thread actually stopped.
Before the above commit GDB figured this out by using inferior_ptid in
process_stop_reply, which contained the ptid of the current
process/thread. This would be fine for single threaded
targets (which is the only place using an S packet makes sense), but
in the general case, relying on inferior_ptid for processing a stop is
wrong - there's no reason to believe that what was GDB's current
thread will be the same thread that just stopped in the target.
With the above commit the inferior_ptid now has the value null_ptid
inside process_stop_reply, this can be seen in do_target_wait, where
we call switch_to_inferior_no_thread before calling do_target_wait_1.
The problem this causes can be seen in the new test that runs
gdbserver using the flag --disable-packet=T, and causes GDB to throw
this assertion:
inferior.c:279: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(process_stratum_target*, int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
A similar problem was fixed in this commit:
commit 3cada74087
Date: Thu Jan 11 00:23:04 2018 +0000
Fix backwards compatibility with old GDBservers (PR remote/22597)
However, this commit deals with the case where the T packet doesn't
include a thread-id, not the S packet case. This commit solves the
problem providing a thread-id at the GDB side if the remote target
doesn't provide one. The thread-id provided comes from
remote_state::general_thread, however, though this does work, I don't
think it is the ideal solution.
The remote_state tracks two threads, the continue_thread and the
general_thread, these are updated when GDB asks the remote target to
switch threads. The general_thread is set before performing things
like register or memory accesses, and the continue_thread is set
before things like continue or step commands. Further, the
general_thread is updated after a target stops to reference the thread
that stopped.
The first thing to note from the above description is that we have a
cycle of dependency, when a T packet arrives without a thread-id we
fill in the thread-id from the general_thread data. The thread-id
from the stop event is then used to set the general_thread. This in
itself feels a little weird.
The second question is why use the general_thread at all? You'd think
given how they are originally set that the continue thread would be a
better choice. The problem with this is that the continue_thread, if
the user just does "continue", will be set to the minus_one_ptid, in
the remote protocol this means all threads. When the stop arrives
with no thread-id and we use continue_thread we end up with a very
similar assertion to before because we now end up trying to lookup a
thread using the minus_one_ptid. By contrast, once GDB has connected
to a remote target the general_thread will be set to a valid
thread-id, after which, if the target is single threaded, and stop
events arrive without a thread-id, everything works fine.
There is one slight weirdness with the above behaviour though. When
GDB first connects to the remote target inferior_ptid is null_ptid,
however, upon connecting we query the remote for its threads. As the
thread information arrives GDB adds the threads to its internal
database, and this process involves setting inferior_ptid to the id of
each new thread in turn. Once we know about all the threads we wait
for a stop event from the remote target to indicate that GDB is now in
control of the target.
The problem is that after adding the new threads we don't reset
inferior_ptid, and the code path we use to wait for a stop event from
the target also doesn't reset inferior_ptid, so it turns out that
during the initial connection inferior_ptid is not null_ptid. This is
lucky, because during the initial connection the general_thread
variable _is_ set to null_ptid.
So, during the initial connection, if the first stop event is missing
a thread-id then we "provide" a thead-id from general_thread. This
turns out to be null_ptid meaning no thread-id is known, and then
during process_stop_reply we fill in the missing thread-id using
inferior_ptid.
This was all discussed on the mailing list here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-02/msg01011.html
My proposal for a fix then is:
1. Move the call to switch_to_inferior_no_thread into
do_target_wait_1, this means that in all cases where we are waiting
for an inferior the inferior_ptid will be set to null_ptid. This is
good as no wait code should rely on inferior_ptid.
2. Remove the use of general_thread from the 'T' packet processing.
The general_thread read here was only ever correct by chance, and we
shouldn't be using it this way.
3. Remove use of inferior_ptid from process_stop_event as this is
wrong, and will always be null_ptid now anyway.
4. When a stop_event has null_ptid due to a lack of thread-id (either
from a T packet or an S packet) then pick the first non exited thread
in the target and use that. This will be fine for single threaded
targets. A multi-thread or multi-inferior aware remote target
should be using T packets with a thread-id, so we give a warning if
the target is multi-threaded, and we are still missing a thread-id.
5. Extend the existing test that covered the T packet with missing
thread-id to also cover the S packet.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_target::remote_parse_stop_reply): Don't use the
general_thread if the stop reply is missing a thread-id.
(remote_target::process_stop_reply): Use the first non-exited
thread if the target didn't pass a thread-id.
* infrun.c (do_target_wait): Move call to
switch_to_inferior_no_thread to ....
(do_target_wait_1): ... here.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp: Add test where T packet is
disabled.
There is a developer only feature in gdbserver that provides a
command line option --disable-packet that prevents some packets from
being sent, which is used to increase test coverage within GDB.
This commit extends this mechanism to prevent GDBserver from sending
the T stop reply packets, instead limiting GDBserver to only send the
S stop reply packets.
The S stop reply packet is part of the older target control mechanism,
which has design flaws that were worked around with the introduction
of the newer target control mechanism, which uses the T stop reply
packet.
Limiting GDBserver to use S stop packets instead of T stop packets
will, inevitably, mean that GDBserver doesn't function correctly in
many cases involving multiple threads, however, I don't think this is
too important, this is a developer only feature, intended to allow us
to test GDB.
A new test that makes use of this feature will be added in the next
commit.

The object_p (and archive_p, core_file_p) functions are not supposed
to have any target specific malloc'd memory attached to the bfd on
their return. This should be obvious on a failure return, but it's
also true for a successful return. The reason is that even though the
object_p recognises the file, that particular target may not be used
and thus the bfd won't be closed calling close_and_cleanup for the
target that allocated the memory.
It turns out that the object_p bfd_target* return value isn't needed.
In all cases except ld/plugin.c the target is abfd->xvec and with
ld/plugin.c the target isn't used. So this patch returns a cleanup
function from object_p instead, called in bfd_check_format_matches to
tidy the bfd before trying a different target match. The only cleanup
that does anything at this stage is the alpha-vms one.

I was looking at elf_backend_section_flags as a means of setting
SEC_SMALL_DATA for .sdata, .sbss and the like, and condidered adding
an asection* parameter to access the section name easily before
realising that hdr->bfd_section of course makes the section
available. So no new parameter needed. In fact the flagword*
parameter isn't needed either, so out it goes.
The patch also tidies some horrible code in _bfd_elf_new_section_hook
that can change whether known ABI sections have sh_type and sh_flags
set up depending on which of the bfd_make_section functions is used.
(Some of those set section flags before _bfd_elf_new_section_hook is
called, others leave the flags zero.) The function also had some
hacks for .init_array and .fini_array to affect how
_bfd_elf_init_private_section_data behaved for those sections. It's
cleaner to do that in _bfd_elf_init_private_section_data. So that all
goes and we now init sh_type and sh_flags for all known ABI sections
in _bfd_elf_new_section_hook. _bfd_elf_init_private_section_data is
changed to suit, and now doesn't just single out SHT_INIT_ARRAY and
SHT_FINI_ARRAY but rather any of the special section types.

The following patch fixes those by adding the necessary include files.
With that said, the test doesn't pass at present. I'll have to investigate it
a bit more.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-02-28 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* gdb.arch/aarch64-dbreg-contents.c: Include stdlib.h, unistd,
asm/ptrace.h and error.h.
When language is set to auto, part of loading an executable is to update the
language accordingly. This is implemented by set_initial_language.
In case of a c++ executable without DW_AT_main_subprogram,
set_initial_language finds "main" in the minimal symbols, and does a lookup of
"main" in the symbol tables to determine the language of the symbol, and uses
that as initial language.
The symbol lookup is done using lookup_symbol which is a wrapper around
lookup_symbol_in_language, using the current language.
So, consider two c++ executables a.out and b.out, which we'll load one after
another. If we track the resulting lookup_symbol_in_language calls:
...
$ gdb -batch \
-ex "b lookup_symbol_in_language" \
-ex r -ex c -ex c \
--args gdb
...
we find that indeed lookup_symbol_in_language is called once using language_c, and
once using language_c_plus:
...
(gdb) file a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
Breakpoint 1, lookup_symbol_in_language (name=0x5555568c2050 "main", \
block=0x0, domain=VAR_DOMAIN, lang=language_c, is_a_field_of_this=0x0) \
at ../../gdb/symtab.c:1905
1905 {
(gdb) file b.out
Load new symbol table from "b.out"? (y or n) y
Reading symbols from b.out...
Breakpoint 1, lookup_symbol_in_language (name=0x5555568c2030 "main", \

at ../../gdb/symtab.c:1905
1905 {
(gdb)
...
It seems like a bad idea to have the previous language play a role
in determining the executable language.
Fix this by using lookup_symbol_in_language in set_initial_language with the
default language c as argument.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

After creating the reader object, the reader.cu field should not be
NULL. By checking the commit previous to the faulty one mentioned
above, I noticed that the cu field is normally set by
init_cu_die_reader, called from read_cutu_die_from_dwo, itself called
from cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies, itself called from
cutu_reader's constructor.
However, cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies calls
read_cutu_die_from_dwo, passing a pointer to a local `die_reader_specs`
variable. So it's the `cu` field of that object that gets set.
cutu_reader itself is a `die_reader_specs` (it inherits from it), and
the intention was most likely to pass `this` to read_cutu_die_from_dwo.
This way, the fields of the cutu_reader object, which
read_signatured_type will use, are set.
With this, I am able to use:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=fission'
and it looks much better. There are still some failures to be
investigated, but that's the usual state of the testsuite.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/read.c (cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies): Remove
reader variable, pass `this` to read_cutu_die_from_dwo.
The test-case gdb.base/c-linkage-name.exp starts with the following test:
...
gdb_test "print symada__cS" \
" = {a = 100829103}" \
"print symada__cS before partial symtab expansion"
...
However, printing the state of the partial symtabs using maint info psymtabs
shows that in fact the symtab has already been expanded:
...
{ psymtab c-linkage-name.c ((struct partial_symtab *) 0x1e27b40)^M
readin yes^M
...
This is due to set_initial_language, which looks up the main symbol, which
expands the psymtab containing main.
Fix this by moving all but main into a separate source file c-linkage-name-2.c.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

When running this testcase against a QEMU with PAC support, i noticed we

This patch simplifies reading of image headers. It's really not worth

When running the gdb.tui test, spawn gets renamed to a local version from
lib/tuiterm.exp. The local version calls expect's spawn, and then makes the
local spawn_out(slave,name) variable accessible in the global variable
gdb_spawn_name.
However, the weird.exp test-case uses remote_exec build, which ends up using
local_exec, which given that there's input/output redirection uses open:
...
set result [catch {open "| ${commandline} $inp |& tee $outpf" RDONLY} id]
...
followed by spawn using the -leaveopen option:
...
set result [catch "spawn -ignore SIGHUP -leaveopen $id" result2]
...
which apparently has the effect that spawn_out(slave,name) is not set.
Fix this in the lib/tuiterm.exp local spawn proc by detecting the case that
spawn_out(slave,name) is not set, and handling it accordingly.
Tested gdb.stabs/weird.exp and gdb.tui/*.exp on x86_64-linux.

If you manage to put an xcoff object file into a non-xcoff archive
(created by first putting a non-xcoff object file into it), and have
xcoff support compiled into libbfd, then objdump -x on the archive
can segfault. The problem is that _bfd_xcoff_stat_arch_elt expects
abfd->arelt_data->arch_header to be one of the xcoff variants, but
arelt_data is generated depending on the archive format, *not* the
element format.
* bfd.c (bfd_stat_arch_elt): Use vector of containing archive,
if file is an archive element.
* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.
Include files are represented by a partial symtab, but don't expand to
anything. From dwarf2_psymtab::expand_psymtab:
if (per_cu == NULL)
{
/* It's an include file, no symbols to read for it.
Everything is in the parent symtab. */
readin = true;
return;
}
This patch introduces a new specialization of partial_symtab to handle
this case. In addition to being slightly smaller, I believe an
include file is the only situation where a DWARF psymtab can result in
a null compunit_symtab. This adds an assert to that effect as well.
This change will simplify one of the psymtab sharing patches.

dwarf2/index-write.c casts pointers to "dwarf2_psymtab *", but as far

instead. This removes nearly every cast, leaving just the unavoidable
one from addrmap iteration.

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/.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.
