When debugging a program using the Ada ravenscar profile, resuming
a program's execution after having switched to a different task
sometimes yields the following error:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command while the target is running.
Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target
and then try again.
In short, the Ravenscar profile is a standardized subset of Ada which
allows tasking (often mapped to threads). We often use it on baremetal
targets where there is no OS support. Thread support is implemented
as a thread target_ops layer. It sits on top of the "remote" layer,
so we can do thread debugging against baremetal targets to which GDB
is connected via "target remote".
What happens, when the user request the program to resume execution,
is the following:
- the ravenscar-thread target_ops layer gets the order to resume
the program's execution. The current thread is not the active
thread in the inferior, and the "remote" layer doesn't know
about that thread anyway. So what we do is (see ravenscar_resume):
+ switch inferior_ptid to the ptid of the actually active thread;
+ ask the layer beneath us to actually do the resume.
- Once that's done, the resuming itself is done. But execute_command
(in top.c) actually does a bit more. More precisely, it unconditionally
checks to see if the language may no longer be matching the current
frame:
check_frame_language_change ();
The problem, here, is that we haven't received the "stop" event
from the inferior, yet. This part will be handled by the event loop,
which is done later. So, checking for the language-change here
doesn't make sense, since we don't really have a frame. In our
case, the error comes from the fact that we end up trying to read
the registers, which causes the error while the remote protocol
is waiting for the event showing the inferior stopped.
This apparently used to work, but it is believed that this was only
accidental. In other words, we had enough information already cached
within GDB that we were able to perform the entire call to
check_frame_language_change without actually querying the target.
On PowerPC targets, this started to fail as a side-effect of a minor
change in the way we get to the regcache during the handling of
software-single-step (which seems fine).
This patch fixes the issue by only calling check_frame_language_change
in cases the inferior isn't running. Otherwise, it skips it, knowing
that the event loop should eventually get to it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.c (execute_command): Do not call check_frame_language_change
if the inferior is running.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression. Also tested on aarch64-elf,

value_incref returned its argument just as a convenience, which in the

I noticed a common pattern with gdb::ref_ptr, where callers would
"incref" and then create a new wrapper object, like:
Py_INCREF (obj);
gdbpy_ref<> ref (obj);
The ref_ptr constructor intentionally does not acquire a new
reference, but it seemed to me that it would be reasonable to add a
static member function that does so.
In this patch I chose to call the function "new_reference". I
considered "acquire_reference" as well, but "new" seemed less
ambiguous than "acquire" to me.

This removes the long_long_align_bit gdbarch attribute in favor of
type_align. This uncovered two possible issues.
First, arc-tdep.c claimed that long long alignment was 32 bits, but as
discussed on the list, ARC has a maximum alignment of 32 bits, so I've
added an arc_type_align function to account for this.
Second, jit.c, the sole user of long_long_align_bit, was confusing
"long long" with uint64_t. The relevant structure is defined in the
JIT API part of the manual as:
struct jit_code_entry
{
struct jit_code_entry *next_entry;
struct jit_code_entry *prev_entry;
const char *symfile_addr;
uint64_t symfile_size;
};
I've changed this code to use uint64_t.

This is version 2 of the patch to add inclusive range support for
Rust. I believe it addresses all review comments.
Rust recently stabilized the inclusive range feature:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/28237
An inclusive range is an expression like "..= EXPR" or "EXPR ..=
EXPR". It is like an ordinary range, except the upper bound is
inclusive, not exclusive.
This patch adds support for this feature to gdb.

Implement a more complex way of selecting targets to include or exclude
with `run_dump_test' cases, by extending the syntax for the `target',
`not-target', `skip' and `not-skip' options (with the binutils and GAS
test suites) and the `target', `alltargets' and `notarget' options (with
the LD test suite) to also accept a name of a TCL procedure instead of a
target triplet glob matching expression. The result, 1 or 0, of the
procedure determines whether the test is to be run or not. This mimics
and expands `dg-require-effective-target' from the GCC test suite.
Names of TCL procedures are supplied in square brackets `[]' as with TCL
procedure calls, observing that target triplet glob matching expressions
do not normally start and end with matching square brackets both at a
time. Arguments for procedures are allowed if required.
Having a way to specify a complex condition for a `run_dump_test' case
to run has the advantage of keeping it local within the test case itself
where tool options related to the check might be also present, removing
the need to wrap `run_dump_test' calls into an `if' block whose only
reason is to do a feature check, and ultimately lets one have the test
reported as UNSUPPORTED automagically if required (not currently
supported by the `run_dump_test' options used for LD).

'g' command returns hex-string as response so simply checking for 'E'
to determine if it failed is not enough and can trigger spurious error
messages. For example, invalid behaviour can be easily triggered on
Cortex-M as follows:
(gdb) set $r0 = 0xe0
Sending packet: $P0=e0000000#72...Packet received: OK
Packet P (set-register) is supported
Sending packet: $g#67...Packet received: E0000000849A0020...
Remote failure reply: E0000000849A0020...
This patch fixes the problem by calling putpkt()/getpkt() directly and
checking result with packet_check_result(). This works fine since Enn
response has odd number of bytes while proper response has even number
of bytes.
Also, remote_send() is now not used anywhere so it can be removed.

I noticed that if you set a breakpoint on an ifunc before the ifunc is
resolved, and then let the program call the ifunc, thus resolving it,
GDB end up with a location for that original breakpoint that is
pointing to the ifunc target, but it is left pointing to the first
address of the function, instead of after its prologue. After
prologue is what you get if you create a new breakpoint at that point.
1) With no debug info for the target function:
1.a) Set before resolving, and then program continued passed resolving:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400753 <final>
1.b) Breakpoint set after inferior resolved ifunc:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400757 <final+4>
2) With debug info for the target function:
1.a) Set before resolving, and then program continued passed resolving:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400753 in final at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c:20
1.b) Breakpoint set after inferior resolved ifunc:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x000000000040075a in final at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c:21
The problem is that elf_gnu_ifunc_resolver_return_stop (called by the
internal breakpoint that traps the resolver returning) does not agree
with linespec.c:minsym_found. It does not skip to the function's
start line (i.e., past the prologue). We can now use the
find_function_start_sal overload added by the previous commmit to fix
this.
New tests included, which fail before the patch, and pass afterwards.

* gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp (set-break): Test that GDB resolves
ifunc breakpoint locations correctly of ifunc breakpoints set
while the program resolves the ifunc.
This patch extends/rewrites the gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase to
cover the many different fixes in earlier patches. (This was actually
what encovered most of the problems.)
The current testcase uses an ifunc symbol with the same name as the
ifunc resolver symbol and makes sure to compile the ifunc resolver
without debug info. That does not model how ifuncs are implemented in
gcc/ifunc nowadays. Instead, what we have is that the glibc ifunc
resolvers nowadays are written in C and end up with debug info.
Also, in some cases the ifunc target is written in assembly, but in
other cases it's written in C. In the case of target function written
in C, if the target function has debug info, when we set a break on
the ifunc, we want to set it past the prologue of the target function.
Currently GDB gets that wrong.
To make sure we cover all the different scenarios, the testcase is
tweaked to cover all the different combinations of
- An ifunc resolver with the same name as the user-visible symbol vs
an ifunc resolver with a different name as the user-visible symbol.
- ifunc resolver compiled with and without debug info.
- ifunc target function compiled with and without debug info.
The testcase currently sets breakpoints on ifuncs, calls ifunc
functions, steps into ifunc functions, etc. After this series, this
all works and the testcase passes cleanly.
While working on this, I noticed that "b gnu_ifunc" before and after
the inferior resolved the ifunc would end up with a breakpoint with
different locations. That's now covered by new tests inside the new
"set-break" procedure.
It also tests other things like making sure we can't call an ifunc
without a return-type case if we don't know the type of the target.
And making sure that we pass enough arguments when we do know the
type.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c: New file.
* gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.c (final): Delete, moved to gnu-ifunc-final.c.
* gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp (executable): Delete.
(staticexecutable): Adjust.
(lib_opts, exec_opts): Delete.
(make_binsuffix, build, set-break): New procedures.
(misc_tests): New, with tests factored out from the top level.
(top level): Test different combinations of ifunc resolver name,
resolver with and with debug info, and ifunc target with and
without debug info. Wrap static tests with with_target_prefix.
If you create an ifunc using GCC's __attribute__ ifunc, like:
extern int gnu_ifunc (int arg);
static int gnu_ifunc_target (int arg) { return 0; }
__typeof (gnu_ifunc) *gnu_ifunc_resolver (unsigned long hwcap) { return gnu_ifunc_target; }
__typeof (gnu_ifunc) gnu_ifunc __attribute__ ((ifunc ("gnu_ifunc_resolver")));
then you end up with two (function descriptor) symbols, one for the
ifunc itself, and another for the resolver:
(...)
12: 0000000000020060 104 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc_resolver
(...)
16: 0000000000020060 104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc
(...)
Both ifunc and resolver symbols have the same address/value, so
ppc64_elf_get_synthetic_symtab only creates a synthetic text symbol
for one of them. In the case above, it ends up being created for the
resolver, only:
(gdb) maint print msymbols
(...)
[ 7] t 0x980 .frame_dummy section .text
[ 8] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text
[ 9] T 0xa58 __glink_PLTresolve section .text
(...)
GDB needs to know when a program stepped into an ifunc resolver, so
that it can know whether to step past the resolver into the target
function without the user noticing. The way GDB does it is my
checking whether the current PC points to an ifunc symbol (since
resolver and ifunc have the same address by design).
The problem is then that ppc64_elf_get_synthetic_symtab never creates
the synchetic symbol for the ifunc, so GDB stops stepping at the
resolver (in a test added by the following patch):
(gdb) step
gnu_ifunc_resolver (hwcap=21) at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:33
33 {
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=1: final_debug=0: step
After this commit, we get:
[ 8] i 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc section .text
[ 9] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text
And stepping an ifunc call takes to the final function:
(gdb) step
0x00000000100009e8 in .final ()
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=1: final_debug=0: step
An alternative to touching bfd I considered was for GDB to check
whether there's an ifunc data symbol / function descriptor that points
to the current PC, whenever the program stops, but discarded it
because we'd have to do a linear scan over .opd over an over to find a
matching function descriptor for the current PC. At that point I
considered caching that info, but quickly dismissed it as then that
has no advantage (memory or performance) over just creating the
synthetic ifunc text symbol in the first place.
I ran the binutils and ld testsuites on PPC64 ELFv1 (machine gcc110 on
the GCC compile farm), and saw no regressions. This commit is part of
a GDB patch series that includes GDB tests that fail without this fix.
bfd/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_get_synthetic_symtab): Don't consider
ifunc and non-ifunc symbols duplicates.
Running the new tests added later in the series on PPC64 (ELFv1)
revealed that the current ifunc support needs a bit of a design rework
to work properly on PPC64/ELFv1, as most of the new tests fail. The
ifunc support only kind of works today if the ifunc symbol and the
resolver have the same name, as is currently tested by the
gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase, which is unlike how ifuncs are
written nowadays.
The crux of the problem is that ifunc symbols are really function
descriptors, not text symbols:
44: 0000000000020060 104 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc_resolver
54: 0000000000020060 104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc
But, currently GDB only knows about ifunc symbols that are text
symbols. GDB's support happens to work in practice for PPC64 when the
ifunc and resolver are one and only, like in the current
gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase:
15: 0000000000020060 104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc
because in that case, the synthetic ".gnu_ifunc" entry point text
symbol that bfd creates from the actual GNU ifunc "gnu_ifunc" function
(descriptor) symbol ends up with the the "is a gnu ifunc" flag set /
copied over:
(gdb) maint print msymbols
...
[ 8] i 0x9c4 .gnu_ifunc section .text <<< mst_text_gnu_ifunc
...
[29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd crtstuff.c <<< mst_data
But, if the resolver gets a distinct symbol/name from the ifunc
symbol, then we end up with this:
(gdb) maint print msymbols
[ 8] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text <<< mst_text
...
[29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd crtstuff.c <<< mst_data
[30] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc_resolver section .opd crtstuff.c <<< mst_data
I have a follow up bfd patch that turns that into:
(gdb) maint print msymbols
+ [ 8] i 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc section .text <<< mst_text_gnu_ifunc
[ 8] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text <<< mst_text
...
[29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd crtstuff.c
[30] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc_resolver section .opd crtstuff.c
but that won't help everything. We still need this patch.
Specifically, when we do a symbol lookup by name, like e.g., to call a
function (see c-exp.y hunk), e.g., "p gnu_ifunc()", then we need to
know that the found "gnu_ifunc" minimal symbol is an ifunc in order to
do some special processing. But, on PPC, that lookup by name finds
the function descriptor symbol, which presently is just a mst_data
symbol, while at present, we look for mst_text_gnu_ifunc symbols to
decide whether to do special GNU ifunc processing. In most of those
places, we could try to resolve the function descriptor with
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, and then lookup the minimal symbol
at the resolved PC, see if that finds a minimal symbol of type
mst_text_gnu_ifunc. If so, then we could assume that the original
mst_dadta / function descriptor "gnu_ifunc" symbol was an ifunc. I
tried it, and it mostly works, even if it's not the most efficient.
However, there's one case that can't work with such a design -- it's
that of the user calling the ifunc resolver directly to debug it, like
"p gnu_ifunc_resolver(0)", expecting that to return the function
pointer of the final function (which is exercised by the new tests
added later). In this case, with the not-fully-working solution, we'd
resolve the function descriptor, find that there's an
mst_text_gnu_ifunc symbol for the resolved address, and proceed
calling the function as if we tried to call "gnu_ifunc", the
user-visible GNU ifunc symbol, instead of the resolver. I.e., it'd be
impossible to call the resolver directly as a normal function.
Introducing mst_data_gnu_ifunc eliminates the need for several
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr calls, and, fixes the "call
resolver directly" use case mentioned above too. It's the cleanest
approach I could think of.
In sum, we make GNU ifunc function descriptor symbols get a new
"mst_data_gnu_ifunc" minimal symbol type instead of the bare mst_data
type. So when symbol lookup by name finds such a minimal symbol, we
know we found an ifunc symbol, without resolving the entry/text
symbol. If the user calls the the resolver symbol instead, like "p
gnu_ifunc_resolver(0)", then we'll find the regular mst_data symbol
for "gnu_ifunc_resolver", and we'll call the resolver function as just
another regular function.
With this, most of the GNU ifunc tests added by a later patch pass on
PPC64 too. The following bfd patch fixes the remaining issues.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_location_function): Handle
mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* c-exp.y (variable production): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* elfread.c (elf_symtab_read): Give data symbols with
BSF_GNU_INDIRECT_FUNCTION set mst_data_gnu_ifunc type.
(elf_rel_plt_read): Update comment.
* linespec.c (convert_linespec_to_sals): Handle
mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
(minsym_found): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* minsyms.c (msymbol_is_function, minimal_symbol_reader::record)
(find_solib_trampoline_target): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* parse.c (find_minsym_type_and_address): Handle
mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* symmisc.c (dump_msymbols): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* symtab.c (find_gnu_ifunc): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* symtab.h (minimal_symbol_type) <mst_text_gnu_ifunc>: Update
comment.
<mst_data_gnu_ifunc>: New enumerator.
When we're stepping (with "step"), we want to skip trampoline-like
functions automatically, including GNU ifunc resolvers. That is done
by infrun.c calling into:
in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code
-> svr4_in_dynsym_resolve_code
-> in_gnu_ifunc_stub
A problem here is that if there's a regular text symbol at the same
address as the ifunc symbol, the minimal symbol lookup in
in_gnu_ifunc_stub may miss the GNU ifunc symbol:
(...)
41: 000000000000071a 53 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc_resolver
(...)
50: 000000000000071a 53 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc
(...)
This causes this FAIL in the tests added later in the series:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: resolver received HWCAP
set step-mode on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: set step-mode on
step
0x00007ffff7bd371a in gnu_ifunc_resolver () from build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc/gnu-ifunc-lib-1-0-0.so
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: step
Above, GDB simply thought that it stepped into a regular function, so
it stopped stepping, while it should have continued stepping past the
resolver.
The fix is to teach minimal symbol lookup to prefer GNU ifunc symbols
if desired.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section_1): Rename to ...
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): ... this. Replace
'want_trampoline' parameter by a lookup_msym_prefer parameter.
Handle it.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Delete old implementation.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc): Adjust.
(in_gnu_ifunc_stub): Prefer GNU ifunc symbols.
(lookup_solib_trampoline_symbol_by_pc): Adjust.
* minsyms.h (lookup_msym_prefer): New enum.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Replace 'want_trampoline'
parameter by a lookup_msym_prefer parameter.
elf_gnu_ifunc_record_cache doesn't ever record anything on PPC64
(tested on gcc110 on the compile farm, CentOS 7.4, ELFv1), because
that expects to find PLT symbols in the .plt section, while there we
get:
(gdb) info symbol 'gnu_ifunc@plt'
gnu_ifunc@plt in section .text
^^^^^
I guess that may be related to the comment in ppc-linux-tdep.c that
says "For secure PLT, stub is in .text".
In any case, this commit fixes the issue by making the function look
at the symbol name instead of at the section.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* elfread.c (elf_gnu_ifunc_record_cache): Check if the symbol name
ends in "@plt" instead of looking at the symbol's section.
I need to make the ifunc resolving code in elfread.c skip the target
function's prologue like minsym_found does. I thought of factoring
that out to a separate function, but turns out there's already a
comment in find_function_start_sal that says that should agree with
minsym_found...
Instead of making sure the code agrees with a comment, factor out the
common code to a separate function and use it from both places.
Note that the current find_function_start_sal does a bit more than
minsym_found's equivalent (the "We always should ..." bit), though
that's probably a latent bug.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linespec.c (minsym_found): Use find_function_start_sal CORE_ADDR
overload.
* symtab.c (find_function_start_sal(CORE_ADDR, obj_section *,bool)):
New, factored out from ...
(find_function_start_sal(symbol *, int)): ... this. Reimplement
and use bool.
* symtab.h (find_function_start_sal(CORE_ADDR, obj_section *,bool)):
New.
(find_function_start_sal(symbol *, int)): Change boolean parameter
type to bool.
Not used anywhere any longer.
If this is ever reinstated, note that this case:
cache_pc_function_is_gnu_ifunc = TYPE_GNU_IFUNC (SYMBOL_TYPE (f));
was incorrect in that regular symbols never have type marked as GNU
ifunc type, only minimal symbols. At some point I had some fix that
checking the matching minsym here. But in the end I ended up just
eliminating need for this function, so that fix was not necessary.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* blockframe.c (cache_pc_function_is_gnu_ifunc): Delete. Remove
all references.
(find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc): Rename to ...
(find_pc_partial_function): ... this, and remove references to
'is_gnu_ifunc_p'.
(find_pc_partial_function): Delete old implementation.
* symtab.h (find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc): Delete.
Without this patch, some of the tests added to gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp
by a following patch fail like so:
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: break gnu_ifunc
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: info breakpoints

FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: after resolving: break gnu_ifunc
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: after resolving: info breakpoints
All of them trigger iff:
- you have debug info for the ifunc resolver.
- the resolver and the user-visible symbol have the same name.
If you have an ifunc that has a resolver with the same name as the
user visible symbol, debug info for the resolver masks out the ifunc
minsym. When you set a breakpoint by name on the user visible symbol,
GDB finds the DWARF symbol for the resolver, and thinking that it's a
regular function, sets a breakpoint location past its prologue.
Like so, location 1.2, before the ifunc is resolved by the inferior:
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 2 at 0x7ffff7bd36ea (2 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x00007ffff7bd36ea <gnu_ifunc>
1.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34
(gdb)
And like so, location 2.2, if you set the breakpoint after the ifunc
is resolved by the inferior (to "final"):
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 5 at 0x400757 (2 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
2.1 y 0x000000000040075a in final at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-resd.c:21
2.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34
(gdb)
I don't think this is right because when users set a breakpoint at an
ifunc, they don't care about debugging the resolver. Instead what you
should is a single location for the ifunc in the first case, and a
single location of the ifunc target in the second case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
