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 9d4a934ce6 ("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.

With current master, on a Fedora 27 machine with a kernel with buggy
watchpoint support, I see:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: hardware breakpoints work

Continuing.
warning: Remote failure reply: E01

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: breakpoint after the first fork (the program is no longer running)
The FAILs themselves aren't what's interesting here. What is
interesting is that with the main multi-target patch applied, I was getting this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: hardware breakpoints work

warning: Remote failure reply: E01
/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb-2/build/../src/gdb/inferior.c:285: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(process_stratum_target*, int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,

Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: watchpoints work (GDB internal error)
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.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (first_remote_resumed_thread): New.
(remote_target::wait_as): Use it as default event_ptid instead of
inferior_ptid.
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.
The "set remote exec-file" setting is per-inferior, but the "show
remote exec-file" command always shows the last set exec-file,
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
(gdb) show remote exec-file
prog2
^^^^^ should show "prog1" instead here.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (show_remote_exec_file): Show the current inferior's
exec-file instead of the command variable's value.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/remote-exec-file.exp: New file.
I noticed that get_exec_file could return a "const char *". This
patch implements this change.
I couldn't build all the code -- but I did build Linux native and a
mingw cross.
Consequently, the NTO code has a hack, where it casts away const. I
think this can be removed, but that required more work there, and
since I couldn't compile it, I felt it best not to try.
Let me know what you think.

While debugging, i felt the need to adjust the truncation length of remote
packets so i could see more or less data as needed. The default is currently
set to 512 bytes.
This patch makes this option adjustable through the new "set debug

completely disable truncation.

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.

For remotes which do not support btrace at all, we can save several
round trips for each thread. This is especially significant when your
remote is a kernel with 100s or 1000s of threads and latency is
intercontinental.
Previously, with target, remote, and infrun debugging enabled, one
might see:
Sending packet: $Hg18aee#43...Ack
Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Hg186f7#eb...Ack
Packet received: OK
remote:target_xfer_partial (24, , 0x805454000, 0x0, 0x0, 4096) = -1, 0
repeated for all non-exited threads.
Afterwards, if the remote does not specify 'qXfer:btrace-conf:read+'
in qSupported stub features, these unnecessary thread switches are
avoided.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_target::remote_btrace_maybe_reopen): Avoid
unnecessary thread walk if remote doesn't support the packet.
With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

This changes magic_null_ptid, not_sent_ptid, and any_thread_ptid to be
"const". This is a minor improvement that makes it so these can't be
accidentally modified.
Tested by rebuilding. I'm checking this in.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-03-12 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* remote.c (magic_null_ptid, not_sent_ptid, any_thread_ptid): Now
const. Add initializers.
(_initialize_remote): Don't initialize ptid globals.
This removes a cleanup from remote.c, replacing it with
unique_xmalloc_ptr.
2019-03-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* remote.c (remote_target::remote_parse_stop_reply): Use
unique_xmalloc_ptr.
This C++ifies the remote notification code -- replacing function
pointers with virtual methods and using unique_ptr. This allows for
the removal of some cleanups.
2019-03-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* remote.c (struct stop_reply_deleter): Remove.
(stop_reply_up): Update.
(struct stop_reply): Derive from notif_event. Don't typedef.
<regcache>: Now a std::vector.
(stop_reply_xfree): Remove.
(stop_reply::~stop_reply): Rename from stop_reply_dtr.

(remote_target::discard_pending_stop_replies): Use delete.
(remote_target::remote_parse_stop_reply): Update.

* remote-notif.h (struct notif_event): Add virtual destructor.
Remove "dtr" member.
(struct notif_client) <alloc_event>: Return a unique_ptr.
(notif_event_xfree): Don't declare.
(notif_event_up): New typedef.
* remote-notif.c (remote_notif_ack, remote_notif_parse): Update.
(notif_event_xfree, do_notif_event_xfree): Remove.
(remote_notif_state_xfree): Update.
A customer noticed some mildly odd MI output, where CLI output was
split into multiple MI strings at unusual boundaries, like this:
~"$1 = (b => true"
~", p => 0x407260"
This is technically correct according to the MI spec, but still
unusual, in that there's no particular reason for the string to be
split where it is.
I tracked this down to a call to gdb_flush in generic_val_print.
Then, I went through all calls to gdb_flush and removed the ones I
thought were superfluous. In particular:
* Any call in the value-printing code;
* Likewise the type-printing code (just a single call); and
* Any call that immediately followed a printf that obviously
ended with a newline, my belief being that gdb's standard output
streams are line buffered (by inheriting the behavior from stdio)
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 29.
I didn't add a new test case. I tend to think we don't necessarily
want to specify this behavior in the tests. Let me know what you
think of this.

This adds a push_target overload that takes a "target_ops_up &&".

..., which is not defined in GNU/Hurd systems, and so commit

This replaces the pointer and length parameters of target_pass_signals
and target_program_signals with a gdb::array_view parameter, and fixes
the fallout.
In infrun.c, the signal_stop, signal_print, signal_program,
signal_catch, signal_pass globals are currently pointers to
heap-allocated memory. I see no point in that, so I converted them to
arrays. This allows simplifying the calls to
target_pass_signals/target_program_signals, since we can pass the
array directly, which can implicitly convert to gdb::array_view.

This removes the remaining cleanup from remote.c, by changing

it eliminates some possibilities for mistakes.
