They happen for two reasons.
- mingw32 does not define SIGTRAP, so upon recording a core file, the
signal information will be missing, which in turn causes GDB to not
display the stopping signal when it loads the same core file. An
earlier message warns about this:
"warning: Signal SIGTRAP does not exist on this system."
- The testcase is crafted in a way that expects a pattern of the
stopping signal message instead of a successful core file read message.
The following patch fixes this by changing the old pattern to a more
reasonable one, while still ignoring the fact that mingw32-based GDB
does not record a SIGTRAP in a core file because it does not define
it.

Dwarf::tu and Dwarf::cu allow selection of units with 64-bit offsets

Basically the problem is that "symtab" is ambiguous.
Is it the primary symtab (where we canonically think of

but is instead getting the primary symtab.

The patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00202.html>
fixed dw2-ifort-parameter.exp on powerpc64 by adding some labels to
get the start and end address of function func. This should also fix the
fail on thumb mode, however, this style is quite specific to gcc, and
other compiler, such as clang, may not guarantee the order of global
asms and functions. The test fails with clang:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='dw2-ifort-parameter.exp CC_FOR_TARGET=clang'
(gdb) p/x param^M
No symbol "param" in current context.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ifort-parameter.exp: p/x param

on arm thumb mode and popwerpc64, and it also passes for clang on
x86_linux.

The cause of both is that we incorrectly set attribute low_pc, since
main isn't resolved to function start address on these targets.

This patch addes DW macro attributes MACRO_AT_func and MACRO_AT_range
in dwarf assembler, which emits "DW_AT_low_pc func_start addr" and
"DW_AT_high_pc func_end addr". func_start and func_end are computed
automatically by proc function_range.
These two attributes are pseudo attribute or macro attribute, which
means they are not standard dwarf attribute in dwarf spec. Then can
be substituted or expanded to standard attributes or macro attributes.
See details in the comments to them. Dwarf assembler is extended to
handle them.
Now the attributes name/low_pc/high_pc can be replaced with
MACRO_AT_func like this:
subprogram {
{name main}
{low_pc main_start addr}
{high_pc main_end addr}
}
becomes:
subprogram {
{MACRO_AT_func { main ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile} }}
}
users don't have to worry about the start and end of function main, and
they only need to add a label main_label in main.

numbering can not be eliminated so easily, and it may not even be a
useful goal for a "list" test case. Another option might be to adjust
the literal line numbers in list.exp, but even that is not as

The target->request_interrupt callback implements the handling for
ctrl-c. User types ctrl-c in GDB, GDB sends a \003 to the remote
target, and the remote targets stops the program with a SIGINT, just
like if the user typed ctrl-c in GDBserver's terminal.
The trouble is that using kill_lwp(signal_pid, SIGINT) sends the
SIGINT directly to the program's main thread. If that thread has
exited already, then that kill won't do anything.
Instead, send the SIGINT to the process group, just like GDB
does (see inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop).
gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp is extended to cover the scenario. It
fails against GDBserver before the patch.

The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is currently failing an
assertion recently added:
(gdb) stepi
../../src/gdb/infrun.c:2237: internal-error: resume: Assertion `sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: Single stepping past permanent breakpoint. (GDB internal error)
The assertion expects that the only reason we currently need to step a
breakpoint instruction is when we have a signal to deliver. But when
stepping a permanent breakpoint (with or without a signal) we also
reach this code.
The assertion is correct and the permanent breakpoints skipping code
is wrong.
Consider the case of the user doing "step/stepi" when stopped at a
permanent breakpoint. GDB's `resume' calls the
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint hook and then happily continues
stepping:
/* Normally, by the time we reach `resume', the breakpoints are either
removed or inserted, as appropriate. The exception is if we're sitting
at a permanent breakpoint; we need to step over it, but permanent
breakpoints can't be removed. So we have to test for it here. */
if (breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == permanent_breakpoint_here)
{
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
}
But since gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint already advanced the PC
manually, this ends up executing the instruction that is _after_ the
breakpoint instruction. The user-visible result is that a single-step
steps two instructions.
The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is actually ensuring that
that's indeed how things work. It runs to an int3 instruction, does
"stepi", and checks that "leave" was executed with that "stepi". Like
this:
(gdb) b *0x0804848c

One would instead expect that a stepi at 0x0804848c stops at
0x0804848d, _before_ the "leave" is executed. This commit changes GDB
this way. Care is taken to make stepping into a signal handler when
the step starts at a permanent breakpoint instruction work correctly.
The patch adjusts gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp in this direction,
and also makes it work on x86_64 (currently it only works on i*86).
The patch also adds a new gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp test that
exercises many different code paths related to stepping permanent
breakpoints, including the stepping with signals cases. The test uses
"hack/trick" to make it work on all (or most) platforms -- it doesn't
really hard code a breakpoint instruction.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

Several GDB tests change directory before compiling the test program
in order to test source file names that include directories. This
doesn't work on a remote host because default_target_compile in
DejaGnu's target.exp copies each source file with
"[remote_download host $x]" which uses "[file tail $file] to strip
off the directory of each file. If the source directory is remote
mounted on the host, this also leaves copied files in the source
directory.

remote host. For gdb.base/fullpath-expand.exp this eliminates two
failures and prevents the test from leaving files fullpath-expand.c
and fullpath-expand-func.c in gdb/testsuite. For
gdb.base/realname-expand.exp it eliminates two failures. For
gdb.linespec/macro-relative.exp it prevents file macro-relative.c
from being left in gdb/testsuite/gdb.linespec/base/two.

Like:
gdb/infrun.c:5406: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!schedlock_applies (1)' failed.
The way the assertion is written is assuming that with schedlock=step
we'll always leave threads other than the one with the stepping range
locked, while that's not true with the "next" command. With schedlock
"step", other threads still run unlocked when "next" detects a
function call and steps over it. Whether that makes sense or not,
still, it's documented that way in the manual. If another thread hits
an event that doesn't cause a stop while the nexting thread steps over
a function call, we'll get here and fail the assertion.
The fix is just to adjust the assertion. Even though we found the
stepping thread, we'll still step-over the breakpoint that just
triggered correctly.
Surprisingly, gdb.threads/schedlock.exp doesn't have any test that
steps over a function call. This commits fixes that. This ensures
that "next" doesn't switch focus to another thread, and checks whether
other threads run locked or not, depending on scheduler locking mode
and command. There's a lot of duplication in that file that this ends
cleaning up. There's more that could be cleaned up, but that would
end up an unrelated change, best done separately.
This new coverage in schedlock.exp happens to trigger the internal
error in question, like so:
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (1) (GDB internal error)

FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: current thread advanced - unlocked (wrong amount)
That's because we have more than one thread running the same loop, and
while one thread is stepping over a function call, the other thread
hits the step-resume breakpoint of the first, which needs to be
stepped over, and we end up in switch_back_to_stepped_thread exactly
in the problem case.
I think a simpler and more directed test is also useful, to not rely
on internal breakpoint magics. So this commit also adds a test that
has a thread trip on a conditional breakpoint that doesn't cause a
user-visible stop while another thread is stepping over a call. That
currently fails like this:

Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Jul 14 19:55:32 2014 +0100
Background execution + pagination aborts readline/gdb
gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
processed. Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
reinstalls the handler. But if the output is coming out of handling
a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
handler. So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
readline, which aborts.

* top.c (gdb_readline_wrapper_line): Tweak comment.
(gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup): If readline is enabled, reinstall
the input handler callback.
The problem is that installing the input handler callback also preps
the terminal, putting it in raw mode and with echo disabled, which is
bad if we're going to call a command that assumes cooked/canonical
mode, and echo enabled, like in the case of the PR, Python's
interactive shell. Another example I came up with that doesn't depend
on Python is starting a subshell with "(gdb) shell /bin/sh" from a
multi-line command. Tests covering both these examples are added.
The fix is to revert the original fix for PR gdb/17072, and instead
restore the callback handler after processing an asynchronous target
event.
Furthermore, calling rl_callback_handler_install when we already have
some input in readline's line buffer discards that input, which is
obviously a bad thing to do while the user is typing. No specific
test is added for that, because I first tried calling it even if the
callback handler was still installed and that resulted in hundreds of
failures in the testsuite.

In gdb.base/fileio.c, some functions may depend on others. For
example, test_rename renames a file to one directory which is created
in test_system. That is means, if test_system fails, test_rename
fails too, which is not a good practise, IMO.
In test_system, system ("mkdir -p XX") is used to create directories
needed for test_rename. In this patch, we use dejagnu remote_exec
proc to create these directories on host.
In my gdb testing, mingw32 host and arm-none-eabi target, system
("mkdir -p XX") doesn't work properly (this issue can be addressed
separately), and this patch fixes the following fails.

TL;DR - if we step an instruction that is as long as
decr_pc_after_break (1-byte on x86) right after removing the
breakpoint at PC, in non-stop mode, adjust_pc_after_break adjusts the
PC, but it shouldn't.
In non-stop mode, when a breakpoint is removed, it is moved to the
"moribund locations" list. This is because other threads that are
running may have tripped on that breakpoint as well, and we haven't
heard about it. When a trap is reported, we check if perhaps it was
such a deleted breakpoint that caused the trap. If so, we also need
to adjust the PC (decr_pc_after_break).
Now, say that, on x86:
- a breakpoint was placed at an address where we have an instruction
of the same length as decr_pc_after_break on this arch (1 on x86).
- the breakpoint is removed, and thus put on the moribund locations
list.
- the thread is single-stepped.
As there's no breakpoint inserted at PC anymore, the single-step
actually executes the 1-byte instruction normally. GDB should _not_
adjust the PC for the resulting SIGTRAP. But, adjust_pc_after_break
confuses the step SIGTRAP reported for this single-step as being a
SIGTRAP for the moribund location of the breakpoint that used to be at
the previous PC, and so infrun applies the decr_pc_after_break
adjustment incorrectly.
The confusion comes from the special case mentioned in the comment:
static void
adjust_pc_after_break (struct execution_control_state *ecs)
{
...
As a special case, we could have hardware single-stepped a
software breakpoint. In this case (prev_pc == breakpoint_pc),
we also need to back up to the breakpoint address. */
if (thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (ecs->event_thread)
|| !ptid_equal (ecs->ptid, inferior_ptid)
|| !currently_stepping (ecs->event_thread)
|| (ecs->event_thread->stepped_breakpoint
&& ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc))
regcache_write_pc (regcache, breakpoint_pc);
The condition that incorrectly triggers is the
"ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc" one.
Afterwards, the next resume resume re-executes an instruction that had
already executed, which if you're lucky, results in the inferior
crashing. If you're unlucky, you'll get silent bad behavior...
The fix is to remember that we stepped a breakpoint. Turns out the
only case we step a breakpoint instruction today isn't covered by the
testsuite. It's the case of a 'handle nostop" signal arriving while a
step is in progress _and_ we have a software watchpoint, which forces
always single-stepping. This commit extends sigstep.exp to cover
that, and adds a new test for the adjust_pc_after_break issue.

I noticed that when I single-step into a signal handler with a
pending/queued signal, the following single-steps while the program is
in the signal handler leave $eflags.TF set. That means subsequent
continues will trap after one instruction, resulting in a spurious
SIGTRAP being reported to the user.
This is a kernel bug; I've reported it to kernel devs (turned out to
be a known bug). I'm seeing it on x86_64 Fedora 20 (Linux
3.16.4-200.fc20.x86_64), and I was told it's still not fixed upstream.
This commit extends gdb.base/sigstep.exp to cover this use case,
xfailed.
Here's what the bug looks like:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at si-handler.c:48
48 setup ();
(gdb) next
50 global = 0; /* set break here */
Let's queue a signal, so we can step into the handler:
(gdb) handle SIGUSR1
Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description
SIGUSR1 Yes Yes Yes User defined signal 1
(gdb) queue-signal SIGUSR1
TF is not set:
(gdb) display $eflags
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
Now step into the handler -- "si" does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP+SIGUSR1:
(gdb) si
sigusr1_handler (sig=0) at si-handler.c:31
31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
No TF yet. But another single-step...
(gdb) si
0x0000000000400621 31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
... ends up with TF left set. This results in PTRACE_CONTINUE
trapping after each instruction is executed:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x0000000000400624 in sigusr1_handler (sig=0) at si-handler.c:31
31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
sigusr1_handler (sig=10) at si-handler.c:32
32 global = 0;
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
Note that even another PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does not fix it:
(gdb) si
33 }
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
Eventually, it gets "fixed" by the rt_sigreturn syscall, when
returning out of the handler:
(gdb) bt
#0 sigusr1_handler (sig=10) at si-handler.c:33
#1 <signal handler called>
#2 main () at si-handler.c:50

(gdb)
The bug doesn't happen if we instead PTRACE_CONTINUE into the signal
handler -- e.g., set a breakpoint in the handler, queue a signal, and
"continue".

Hacking on sigstep.exp, I found it harder to understand and extend

- GDB is currently not restarted between the different
tests/combinations in the file, and some parts of the tests' setup
are done on the top level, and shared between tests. It's not
trivial to understand which breakpoints each test procedure expects
to be set or not set. And it's not trivial to disable parts of the
test if you want quickly try out just a subset of the tests
(running the whole file takes a bit).
- Because GDB is currently not restarted between tests, if some test
triggers a ptrace/kernel bug, the following tests may end up with
cascading fails. That makes it hard to add a test to cover a
kernel bug that isn't fixed yet, with a xfail/kfail. E.g,. note
how with kernels with bug gdb/8744 (stepi over sigreturn syscall
exits program) the test program exits, and nothing restarts it
afterwards...
- The manual test message prefix management gets a bit in the way.
Nowadays, we have with_test_prefix which makes it simpler.
- 'i' is used as parameter name in the various procedures, meaning
'the command the test', which isn't as obvious as it could.
This commit addresses all that.

program was stopped at a breakpoint when "si" was entered.
Specifically, in case GDB needs to step off a breakpoint, the handler
is skipped and the program stops in the next "mainline" instruction.
Otherwise, the "si" stops in the first instruction of the signal
handler.
I was surprised the testsuite doesn't catch this difference. Turns
out gdb.base/sigstep.exp covers a bunch of cases related to stepping
and signal handlers, but does not test stepi nor nexti, only
step/next/continue.
My first reaction was that stopping in the signal handler was the
correct thing to do, as it's where the next user-visible instruction
that is executed is. I considered then "nexti" -- a signal handler
could be reasonably considered a subroutine call to step over, it'd
seem intuitive to me that "nexti" would skip it.
But then, I realized that signals that arrive while a plain/line
"step" is in progress _also_ have their handler skipped. A user might
well be excused for being confused by this, given:
(gdb) help step
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
And the signal handler's sources will be in different source lines,
after all.
I think that having to explain that "stepi" steps into handlers, (and
that "nexti" wouldn't according to my reasoning above), while "step"
does not, is a sign of an awkward interface.
E.g., if a user truly is interested in stepping into signal handlers,
then it's odd that she has to either force the signal to "handle
stop", or recall to do "stepi" whenever such a signal might be
delivered. For that use case, it'd seem nicer to me if "step" also
stepped into handlers.
This suggests to me that we either need a global "step-into-handlers"
setting, or perhaps better, make "handle pass/nopass stop/nostop
print/noprint" have have an additional axis - "handle
stepinto/nostepinto", so that the user could configure whether
handlers for specific signals should be stepped into.
In any case, I think it's simpler (and thus better) for all step
commands to behave the same. This commit thus makes "si/ni" skip
handlers for "handle nostop" signals that arrive while the command was
already in progress, like step/next do.
To be clear, nothing changes if the program was stopped for a signal,
and the user enters a stepping command _then_ -- GDB still steps into
the handler. The change concerns signals that don't cause a stop and
that arrive while the step is in progress.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp: tfile: select trace file
These fails are caused by writing function descriptor address into trace
file instead of function address. This patch is to teach tfile.c to
write function address on powerpc64 target. With this patch applied,
fails in tfile.exp and mi-traceframe-changed.exp are fixed. Is it
OK?
