The multi-target patch will change the remote target's behavior when:
- the current inferior is connected to an extended-remote target.
- the current inferior is attached to any process.
- some other inferior than than the current one is live.
In current master, we get:
(gdb) tar extended-remote :9999
A program is being debugged already. Kill it? (y or n)
While after multi-target, since each inferior may have its own target
connection, we'll get:
(gdb) tar extended-remote :9999
Already connected to a remote target. Disconnect? (y or n)
That change made gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp expose a gdb
bug, because it made "target remote", via gdb_reconnect, just
disconnect from the previous connection, while in current master that
command would kill the inferior before disconnecting. In turn, that
would make a multi-target gdb find processes already running under
control of gdbserver as soon as it reconnects, while in current master
there is never any process around when gdb reconnects, since they'd
all been killed prior to disconnection.
The bug this exposed is that remote_target::remote_add_inferior was
always reusing current_inferior() for the new process, even if the
current inferior was already bound to a process. In the testcase's
case, when we reconnect, the remote is debugging two processes. So
we'd bind the first remote process to the empty current inferior the
first time, and then bind the second remote process to the same
inferior again, essencially losing track of the first process. That
resulted in failed assertions when we look up the inferior for the
first process by PID. The fix is to still prefer binding to the
current inferior (so that plain "target remote" keeps doing what you'd
expect), but not reuse the current inferior if it is already bound to
a process.
This patch tweaks the test to explicitly disconnect before
reconnecting, to avoid GDB killing processes, thus making current GDB
behave the same as it will behave when the multi-target work lands.
That change alone without the GDB fix exposes the bug like so:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp: kill: 0, follow-child 0: disconnect
target extended-remote localhost:2350
Remote debugging using localhost:2350
src/gdb/thread.c:93: internal-error: thread_info* inferior_thread(): Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
The original bug that the testcase was written for was related to
killing, (git 9d4a934ce604 ("gdb: Fix assert for extended-remote
target (PR gdb/18050)")), but since the testcase tries reconnecting
with both explicitly killing and not explicitly killing, I think we're
covering the original bug with this testcase change.

* gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp (test_reload): Explicitly
disconnect before reconnecting.
The multi-target patch makes inferior_ptid point to null_ptid before
calling into target_wait, which catches bad uses of inferior_ptid,
since the current selected thread in gdb shouldn't have much relation
to the thread that reports an event.
One such bad use is found in remote_target::remote_parse_stop_reply,
where we handle the 'W' or 'X' packets (process exit), and the remote
target does not support the multi-process extensions, i.e., it does
not report the PID of the process that exited.
With the multi-target patch, that would result in a failed assertion,
trying to find the inferior for process pid 0.

The problem is that in remote_target::wait_as, we're hitting this:
switch (buf[0])
{
case 'E': /* Error of some sort. */
/* We're out of sync with the target now. Did it continue or
not? Not is more likely, so report a stop. */
rs->waiting_for_stop_reply = 0;
warning (_("Remote failure reply: %s"), buf);
status->kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED;
status->value.sig = GDB_SIGNAL_0;
break;
which leaves event_ptid as null_ptid. At the end of the function, we then reach:
else if (status->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED
&& status->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED)
{
if (event_ptid != null_ptid)
record_currthread (rs, event_ptid);
else
event_ptid = inferior_ptid; <<<<< here
}
and the trouble is that with the multi-target patch, we'll get here
with inferior_ptid as null_ptid too. That is done exactly to find
these implicit assumptions that inferior_ptid is a good choice for
default thread, which isn't generaly true.
I first thought of fixing this in the "case 'E'" path, but, given that
this "event_ptid = inferior_ptid" path is also taken when the remote
target does not support threads at all, no thread-related packets or
extensions, it's better to fix it in latter path, to handle all
scenarios that miss reporting a thread.
That's what this patch does.

Once each inferior has its own target stack, we'll need to make sure
that the right inferior is selected before we call into target
methods.
It kind of sounds worse than it is in practice. Not that many places
need to be concerned.

centralizes the switching before calls to target_thread_alive. Other
cases are handled with explicit switching.

I believe this comment:
/* Killing off the inferior can leave us with a core file. If
so, print the state we are left in. */
Referred to the fact that a decade ago, by design, GDB would let you
type "run" when debugging a core dump, keeping the core open. That
"run" would push a process_stratum target on the target stack for the
live process, and, the core would remain open -- we used to have a
core_stratum. When the live process was killed/detached or exited,
GDB would go back to debugging the core, since the core_stratum target
was now at the top of the stack. That design had a number of
problems, see here for example:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-08/msg00290.html
In 2010, core_stratum was finaly eliminated and cores now have
process_stratum too, with commit c0edd9edadfe ("Make core files the
process_stratum."). Pushing a live process on the stack while you're
debugging a core discards the core completely.
I also thought that this might be in use with checkpoints, but it does
not -- "kill" when you have multiple checkpoints kills all the
checkpoints.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infcmd.c (kill_command): Remove dead code.
I believe the tail end of remote_target::mourn_inferior is broken, and
it's been broken for too long to even bother trying to fix. Most
probably nobody needs it. If the code is reached and we find the
target is running, we'd need to resync the thread list, at least,
since generic_mourn_inferior got rid of all the threads in the
inferior, otherwise, we'd hit an assertion on the next call to
inferior_thread(), for example. A "correct" fix would probably
involve restarting the whole remote_target::start_remote requence,
exactly as if we had completely disconnected and reconnected from
scratch.
Note that regular stub debugging usually uses plain target remote, but
this code is only reachable in target extended-mode:
- The !remote_multi_process_p check means that it's only reacheable if
the stub does not support multi-process. I.e., there can only ever
be one live process.
- remote_target::mourn_inferior has this at the top:
/* In 'target remote' mode with one inferior, we close the connection. */
if (!rs->extended && number_of_live_inferiors () <= 1)
{
unpush_target (this);
/* remote_close takes care of doing most of the clean up. */
generic_mourn_inferior ();
return;
}
Which means that if we only had one live inferior (which for our
case, must be true), we'll have closed the connection already,
unless we're in extended-remote mode.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (remote_target::mourn_inferior): No longer check
whether the target is running.
With the multi-target work, each inferior will have its own target
stack, so to call a target method, we'll need to make sure that the
inferior in question is the current one, otherwise target->beneath()
calls will find the target beneath in the wrong inferior.
In some places, it's much more convenient to be able to check whether
an inferior has execution without having to switch to it in order to
call target_has_execution on the right inferior/target stack, to avoid
side effects with switching inferior/thread/program space.
The current target_ops::has_execution method takes a ptid_t as
parameter, which, in a multi-target world, isn't sufficient to
identify the target. This patch prepares to address that, by changing
the parameter to an inferior pointer instead. From the inferior,
we'll be able to query its target stack to tell which target is
beneath.
Also adds a new inferior::has_execution() method to make callers a bit
more natural to read.

The "set remote exec-file" setting is per-inferior, but the "show

irrespective of the current inferior. E.g.:
# Set inferior 1's exec-file:
(gdb) set remote exec-file prog1
# Add inferior 2, switch to it, and set its exec-file:
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
(gdb) set remote exec-file prog2
# Switch back to inferior 1, and show its exec-file:
(gdb) inferior 1

The multi-target patch sets inferior_ptid to null_ptid before handling
a target event, and thus before calling target_wait, in order to catch
places in target_ops::wait implementations that are incorrectly
relying on inferior_ptid (which could otherwise be a ptid of a
different target, for example). That caught this instance in
record-full.c.
Fix it by saving the last resumed ptid, and then using it in
record_full_wait_1, just like how the last "step" argument passed to
record_full_target::resume is handled too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* record-full.c (record_full_resume_ptid): New global.
(record_full_target::resume): Set it.
(record_full_wait_1): Use record_full_resume_ptid instead of
inferior_ptid.
In non-stop mode, if you resume the program in the background (with
"continue&", for example), then gdb makes sure to not switch the
current thread behind your back. That means that you can be sure that
the commands you type apply to the thread you selected, even if some
other thread that was running in the background hits some event just
while you're typing.
In all-stop mode, however, if you resume the program in the
background, gdb let's the current thread switch behind your back.
This is bogus, of course. All-stop and non-stop background
resumptions should behave the same.
This patch fixes that, and adds a testcase that exposes the bad
behavior in current master.
The fork-running-state.exp changes are necessary because that
preexisting testcase was expecting the old behavior:
Before:
continue &
Continuing.
(gdb)
[Attaching after process 8199 fork to child process 8203]
[New inferior 2 (process 8203)]
info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1.1 process 8199 "fork-running-st" (running)
* 2.1 process 8203 "fork-running-st" (running)
(gdb)
After:
continue &
Continuing.
(gdb)

* 1.1 process 24660 "fork-running-st" (running)
2.1 process 24664 "fork-running-st" (running)
(gdb)
Here we see that before this patch GDB switches current inferior to
the new inferior behind the user's back, as a side effect of handling
the fork.
The delete_exited_threads call in inferior_appeared is there to fix an
issue that Baris found in a previous version of this patch. The
fetch_inferior_event change increases the refcount of the current
thread, and in case the fetched inferior event denotes a thread exit,
the thread will not be deleted right away. A non-deleted but exited
thread stays in the inferior's thread list. This, in turn, causes the
"init_thread_list" call in inferior.c to be skipped. A consequence is
that the global thread ID counter is not restarted if the current
thread exits, and then the inferior is restarted:
(gdb) start

Notice that GId == 2 above. It should have been "1" instead.
The new tids-git-reset.exp testcase exercises the problem above.

According to the SystemTap documentation on user-space probes[0], stap
probe points without semaphores are denoted by setting the semaphore
address in the probe's note to zero. At present the code does do a
comparison of the semaphore address against zero, but only after it's
been relocated; as such it will (almost?) always fail, commonly
resulting in GDB trying to overwrite the ELF magic located at the
image's base address.
This commit tests the address as specified in the SDT note rather than
the relocated value in order to correctly detect absent probe
semaphores.

This patch resolves a couple of issues with the test case for SystemTap
user-space probe points:
1. The preprocessor macro guarding the semaphore variables in the C
file is (rather confusingly) named USE_PROBES. This has been
renamed to USE_SEMAPHORES, to better reflect its function.
2. The test procedures in the expect file improperly pass the flag
defining USE_PROBES to prepare_for_testing; as such, the test
binary that's supposed to have probes with semaphores is the same
as the one without. This has also been fixed.
3. No test is performed to check that `info probes' returns
information about probe semaphores. Such a test is included in this
patch.

Until recently when the source window was scrolled the assembler
window would scroll in sync - keeping the disassembly for the current
line in view.
This was broken in commit:

Don't call tui_show_source from tui_ui_out
This commit restores the synchronised scrolling and also maintains the
horizontal scroll within the source view when it is vertically
scrolled, something that was broken before.
This commit does not mean that scrolling the assembler view scrolls
the source view. The connection this way never existed, though maybe
it should, but I'll leave adding this feature for a separate commit.

Hannes Domani pointed out that my previous patch to fix the "list"
command in the TUI instead broke vertical scrolling. While looking at
this, I found that do_scroll_vertical calls print_source_lines, which
seems like a very roundabout way to change the source window. This
patch removes this oddity and fixes the bug at the same time.
I've added a new test case. This is somewhat tricky, because the
obvious approach of sending a dummy command after the scroll did not
work -- due to how the TUI works, sennding a command causes the scroll
to take effect.

Currently if a user starts the tui with 'layout asm' then they will be
presented with the 'src' layout.
What happens is:
1. Layout command enables TUI, selecting the SRC layout by default.
2. As part of tui_enable we call tui_display_main, which calls
tui_get_begin_asm_address, which calls
set_default_source_symtab_and_line. This changes core GDBs
current symtab and line, which triggers a call to the symtab
changed hook tui_symtab_changed, which sets the flag
from_source_symtab.
3. Back in the layout command, the layout is changed from SRC to
ASM. After this the layout command completes and we return to
core GDB which prints the prompt, however...
4. The before prompt hook is called which sees the
from_source_symtab flag is set and forces the SRC window to be
displayed. This switches us back to SRC view.
The solution I propose here is to delay installing the hooks into core
GDB until after we have finished setting up the tui and selecting the
default frame to view. In this way we effectively ignore the first
symtab changed event triggered when making main the default symtab.

A new test procedure for matching the contents of one screen box
against a regexp. This can be used to match the contents of one TUI
window against a regexp without any of the borders, or other windows
being included in the matched output (as is currently the case with
check_contents).
This will be used in a later commit.

Split Term::enter_tui into two procedures, a core which does the
setup, but doesn't actually enable tui mode, and the old enter_tui
that calls the new core, and then enables tui mode.
This is going to be useful in a later commit.

The Term::dump_screen routine currently dumps the screen using calls
to 'verbose', this means it will only dump the screen when the
testsuite is running in verbose mode.
However, the Term::dump_screen is most often called when a test fails,
in this case I think it is useful to have the screen dumped even when
we're not in verbose mode.
This commit changes the calls to 'verbose' to be 'verbose -log' so we
always get the screen dump.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/tuiterm.exp (Term::dump_screen): Always dump the screen when
called.

commit 5024637fac653914d471808288dc3221bc7ec089

Fix skip.exp test failure observed with gcc-9.2.0
A race condition was introduced into the gdb.base/skip.exp test when
this line:
gdb_test "step" "foo \\(\\) at.*" "step 3"
Was changed to this:
gdb_test "step" "foo \\(\\) at.*" "step 3" "main \\(\\) at .*" "step"
Before the above change we expected GDB to behave like this:
(gdb) step
foo () at /path/to/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:42
42 return 0;
(gdb)
However, when the test is compiled with GCC 9.2.0 we get a different
behaviour, and so we need a second 'step', like this:
(gdb) step
main () at /path/to/gdb.base/skip.c:32
32 x = baz ((bar (), foo ()));
(gdb) step
foo () at /path/to/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/skip.c:42
42 return 0;
(gdb)
Now the change to the test matches against 'main () at .*', however if
GDB or expect is being slow then we might only get to see output like
this:
(gdb) step
main () at /path/to/g
This will happily match the question pattern, so we send 'step' to GDB
again. Now GDB continues to produce output which expect accepts, we
now see this:
b.base/skip.c:32
32 x = baz ((bar (), foo ()));
(gdb)
This has carried on from where the previous block of output left off.
This doesn't match the final pattern 'foo \\(\\) at.*', but it does
match the prompt pattern that gdb_test_multiple adds, and so we report
the test as failing.
The solution is to simply ensure that the question consumes everything
up to, and including the prompt. This ensures that the prompt can't
then match the failure case. The new test line becomes:
gdb_test "step" "foo \\(\\) at.*" "step 3" \
"main \\(\\) at .*\r\n$gdb_prompt " "step"
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/skip.exp: Fix race condition in test.

gdb does (in common-defs.h)
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/issues/5868#issuecomment-544107564

PR build/24937 concerns an error given by the clang provided by a
particular version of macOS. In particular, it reports
error: default initialization of an object of const type 'const
stap_static_probe_ops' without a user-provided default constructor
Although (at least according to sources I found online) this was
resolved as a bug in the standard, it seemed simple enough to work
around this.
Given that this is a trivial build fix, I think it should go on the
gdb 9 branch as well.

gdb: Don't allow annotations to influence what else GDB prints
A change was accidentally made that moved a call to do_gdb_disassembly
out of an if block guarded by 'if (source_print && sal.symtab)'. The
result was that if a user has 'set disassemble-next-line on' then the
backtrace would now include some disassembly of a few instructions in
each frame.
This change was not intentional, but was not spotted by any tests.
This commit restores the old behaviour and adds a test to ensure this
doesn't break again in the future.

In tui_disasm_window::addr_is_displayed(), there can be situations
where "content" is empty. For instance, it can happen when the
"content" was not filled in tui_disasm_window::set_contents(),
because tui_disassemble() threw an exception. Usually this exception
is the result of fetching invalid PC addresses like the ones beyond
the end of the program.
Having "content.size ()" zero leads to an overflow in this condition
check inside tui_disasm_window::addr_is_displayed():
int i = 0;
while (i < content.size () - threshold ...) {
... content[i] ...
}
"threshold" is 2 and there are times that "content.size ()" is 0.
This results into an overflow and the loop is entered whereas it
should have been skipped. Finally, "content[i]" access leads to
a segmentation fault.
Same problem applies to tui_source_window::line_is_displayed().
The issue has been discussed at length in bug 25345:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25345
This commit avoids the segmentation faults with an early check:
if (content.size () < SCROLL_THRESHOLD)
return false;
Moreover, those functions have been overhauled to a leaner code.

When calling tui_add_win_to_layout, use tui_set_layout not show_layout
so that window focus is correctly updated. If the focus is not
correctly maintained then GDB can be crashed like this:
start
tui enable
layout asm
list SOME_FUNCTION
At this point GDB will have "popped up" the source window to
display SOME_FUNCTION. Previously no window would have focus at this
point, and so if the user now does 'focus next' or 'focus prev', then
GDB would crash.
Calling tui_set_layout ensures that focus is correctly calculated as
the source window is "popped up", and this fixes the issue.
