Since we don't use suffix rules nor implicit rules in gdb, we can
disable them. The advantage is a slightly faster make [1].
Here are some numbers about the speedup. I ran this on my trusty old
Intel Q6600, so the time numbers are probably higher than what you'd get
on any recent hardware. I ran "make" in the gdb/ directory of an
already built repository (configured with --enable-targets=all). I
recorded the time of execution (average of 5). I then ran "make -d" and
recorded the number of printed lines, which gives a rough idea of the
number of operations done.
I compared the following configurations, to see the impact of both the
empty .SUFFIXES target and the empty pattern rules, as well as running
"make -r", which can be considered the "ideal" case.
A - baseline
B - baseline + .SUFFIXES
C - baseline + pattern rules
D - baseline + .SUFFIXES + pattern rules
E - baseline + make -r
config | time (s) | "make -d"
-----------------------------
A | 5.74 | 2396643
B | 1.19 | 298469
C | 2.81 | 1266573
D | 1.13 | 245489
E | 1.01 | 163914
We can see that the empty .SUFFIXES target has a bigger impact than the
empty pattern rules, but still it doesn't hurt to disable the implicit
pattern rules as well.
There are still some mentions of implicit rules I can't get rid of in
the "make -d" output. For example, it's trying to build .c files from
.w files:
Looking for an implicit rule for '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'infrun'.
Trying implicit prerequisite '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.w'.
and trying to build Makefile.in from a bunch of extensions:
Looking for an implicit rule for 'Makefile.in'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.cc'.
... many more ...
If somebody knows how to disable them, we can do it, but at this point
the returns are minimal, so it is not that important.
I verified that both in-tree and out-of-tree builds work.
[1] Switching from explicit rules to pattern rules for files in
subdirectories actually made it slower, so this is kind of a way to
redeem myself. But it the end it's faster than it was previously,
so it was all worth it. :)

When the user writes or reads a variable whose location is described
with DWARF pieces (DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece), GDB's helper
function copy_bitwise is invoked for each piece. The implementation of
this function has a bug that may result in a corrupted copy, depending
on alignment and bit size. (Full-byte copies are not affected.)
This rewrites copy_bitwise, replacing its algorithm by a fixed version,
and adding an appropriate test case. Without the fix the new test case
fails, e.g.:
print def_t
$2 = {a = 0, b = 4177919}
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: print def_t
Written in binary, the wrong result above looks like this:
01111111011111111111111
Which means that two zero bits have sneaked into the copy of the
original all-one bit pattern. The test uses this simple all-one value
in order to avoid another GDB bug that causes the DWARF piece of a
DW_OP_stack_value to be taken from the wrong end on big-endian
architectures.

The DW_AT_data_bit_offset attribute was introduced by DWARF V4 and
allows specifying the offset of a data member within its containing
entity. But although the new attribute was intended to replace
DW_AT_bit_offset for this purpose, GDB ignores it, and thus GCC still
emits DW_AT_bit_offset instead. See also
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71669.
This change fixes GDB's lack of support for DW_AT_data_bit_offset and
adds an appropriate test case.

I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.
New in v2:
- Change ordering style, directories go at the end.
- Cleanup gdbserver's and data-directory's Makefile as well.
- Add comments at top of Makefiles about the ordering.
- Remove wrong trailing backslahes.

Since GNU make is now required to build GDB, we can remove everything
that checks whether the current make implemention is the GNU one or
not. I simply removed the @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removed the whole
lines that were prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@.
I removed the code in the configure scripts that set those variables.
I also removed the following bits from the configure scripts:
AC_CHECK_PROGS(MAKE, make): GNU make already defines a MAKE variable
internally to be used when invoking Makefiles recursively. I don't see
this variable being used anywhere else (in scripts for example), so I
think it's safe for removal.
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET: This macro defines a SET_MAKE output variable, which
is meant to be used in Makefiles to define the MAKE variable when
using an implementation of make that doesn't already define it.
Since we are now requiring GNU make, we don't need it anymore.
Plus, I don't see SET_MAKE being used anywhere, so I don't think it
was actually doing anything...
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Remove @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removes lines
prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU
make.
* configure.ac: Remove checks for the make program.

This patch modifies the unwinder (sniffer) defined in
py-recurse-unwind.py so that, depending upon the value of one of its
class variables, it will take different paths through the code,
testing different functionality.
The original test attempted to obtain the value of an undefined
symbol.
This somewhat expanded test checks to see if 'pc' can be read via
gdb.PendingFrame.read_register() and also via gdb.parse_and_eval().
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.c (main): Add loop.
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.py (TestUnwinder): Add calls
to read_register() and gdb.parse_and_eval(). Make each code
call a separate case that can be individually tested.
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.exp (cont_and_backtrace): New
proc. Call cont_and_backtrace for each of the code paths that
we want to test in the unwinder.
The "struct S" type in bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp is declared to
have a size of 4 bytes but to hold two 4-byte members: an int-based
bitfield and a 4-byte int. Also, both members have the same
data_member_location 2, causing them to overlap and to reach 2 bytes
beyond the structure's boundary.
This is fixed by increasing the structure size to 8 and setting the
first and second member's data_member_location to 0 and 4, respectively.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp: Fix DWARF code for

While adding new tests to gdb.base/commands.exp, I noticed that the
file includes a bunch of individual testcases split into their own
procedures, and that none have ever been adjusted to use
with_test_prefix. Instead, each gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc
invocation takes care of including the procedure name in the test
message, in order to make sure test messages are unique.
Simon convinced me that using the procedure name as prefix is not that
bad of an idea:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00020.html
This commit adds an IMO simpler alternative to
with_test_prefix_procname added by that patch -- a new
"proc_with_prefix" convenience proc that is meant to be used in place
of "proc", and then uses it in commands.exp. Procedures defined with
this automatically run their bodies under with_test_prefix $proc_name.

A user reported a GDB crash with TUI when trying to debug a function
with a long demangled C++ method name. It turned out that the logic for
displaying the TUI disassembly window has a bug that can cause a buffer
overrun, possibly overwriting GDB-internal data structures. In
particular, the logic performs an unguarded strcpy.
Another (harmless) bug in tui_alloc_source_buffer causes the buffer to
be two lines longer than needed. This may have made the crash appear
less frequently.

* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_creation): Make "long" test

While writing a Python frame filter, I found a few bugs in the current
frame filter code. In particular:
* One spot converts a Python long to a CORE_ADDR using PyLong_AsLong.
However, this can fail on overflow. I changed this to use
get_addr_from_python.
* Another spot is doing the same but with PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong; I
changed this as well just for consistency.
* Converting line numbers can print "-1" if conversion from long
fails. This isn't fatal but just a bit ugly.
I've included a test case for the first issue. The line number one
didn't seem important enough to bother with.

Testing a powerpc toolchain running gdbserver on the other end i noticed a
failure in gdb.base/foll-exec.exp. Turns out gdb is outputting a slightly
different pattern due to the presence of debug information.
--

Continuing.^M
process 21222 is executing new program: gdb.d/outputs/gdb.base/foll-exec/execd-prog^M

Catchpoint 2 (exec'd gdb.d/outputs/gdb.base/foll-exec/execd-prog), _start () at ../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/dl-start.S:32^M
--
Notice the presence of source file information.
Now, on my local machine, i get this:
--
foll-exec is about to execlp(execd-prog)...^M
Continuing.^M
process 9285 is executing new program: gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/foll-exec/execd-prog^M

--
So the output differs slightly and the testcase is actually expecting only
the second form with the "in" anchor.
This patch removes the "in" pattern and lets the test match both kinds of
output.

* gdb.base/foll-exec.exp (do_exec_tests): Make test pattern more
general.
The following testcases make GDB crash whenever an invalid sysroot is
provided, when GDB is unable to find a valid path to the symbol file:
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp
gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec.exp

gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp
gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp
The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL
argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen.
However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't
prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the
new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due
to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts
to fix all that.
In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints
a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the
tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a
legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot
translation incorrectly.
A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning
code path even with native testing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

This apparently is due to - man gcc - -fsplit-stack:
When code compiled with -fsplit-stack calls code compiled without
-fsplit-stack, there may not be much stack space available for the
latter code to run. If compiling all code, including library code,
with -fsplit-stack is not an option, then the linker can fix up these
calls so that the code compiled without -fsplit-stack always has
a large stack. Support for this is implemented in the gold linker in
GNU binutils release 2.21 and later.

I noticed that testing aarch64-elf gdb with a physical board
ran into issues with gdb.python/py-value.exp. Further investigation showed
that we were actually trying to dereference a NULL pointer (argv) when trying
to access argv[0].
Being bare-metal, argv is not guaranteed to be valid. So we need to make sure
argv is sane before accessing argv[0].
The following patch fixes up the test program to check for a NULL argv and also
improves the testcase a bit so it doesn't have to work with a hardcoded argc
value.
Regression-tested on x86-64 Ubuntu 16.04.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-10-12 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.c (main): Check if argv is NULL before using it.
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Don't use hardcoded
argc values.
Add 1 to argc so we guarantee distinct initial/modified argc values.

Fix a regression from commit f8b73d13b7 ("Target-described register
support for MIPS"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-05/msg00340.html>,
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-06/msg00256.html>, which
caused Floating Point Control Registers (FCRs) to be shown as 64-bit
with 64-bit targets.
This came from the legacy register format where all raw registers
matched the width of the architecture regardless of their actual size.
The correct size was then set in `mips_register_type' for cooked
registers presented to the user, which in the case of FCRs meant the
cooked size was always forced to 32 bits, reflecting their actual
hardware size, even though the raw format carried them in 64-bit
quantities on 64-bit targets. The upper 32 bits carried in the raw FCR
format have always been don't-cares, not actually retrieved from
hardware and never written back.
With the introduction of XML register descriptions the layout of
previously defined raw registers has been preserved, so as to keep
existing register handling code unchanged and make it easier for GDB and
`gdbserver' to interact with each other whether neither, either or both
parties talking over RSP support XML register descriptions. For the
XML-described case however `mips_register_type' is not used in raw to
cooked register conversion, so any special cases coded there are not
taken into account.
Instead a new function, `mips_pseudo_register_type', has been introduced
to handle size conversion, however lacking the special case for FCRs for
the Linux and the now defunct IRIX target. The correct size has been
maintained for embedded targets however, due to the bundling of FCRs
with the embedded registers under the `rawnum >= MIPS_EMBED_FP0_REGNUM +
32' condition.
Add the missing case to `mips_pseudo_register_type' then, referring to
the FCR indices explicitly, and observing that between
`MIPS_EMBED_FP0_REGNUM + 32' and `MIPS_FIRST_EMBED_REGNUM' there is an
unused register slot whose contents are ignored so with the removal of
embedded FCRs from under that condition we don't have to care about it
and we can refer to the embedded registers starting from
MIPS_FIRST_EMBED_REGNUM instead.
Add a test case too so that we have means to check automatically that
the correct user-visible size of FCRs is maintained.

This is GDB trying to print the location spec of the JIT event
breakpoint, but that's an internal breakpoint without one.
If I add a NULL check, then we see that the JIT breakpoint is now
pending (because its location has shlib_disabled set):
(gdb) maint info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
[...]
-8 jit events keep y <PENDING> inf 1
[...]
But that's incorrect. GDB should have managed to recreate the JIT
breakpoint's location for the second run. So the problem is
elsewhere.
The problem is that if the JIT loads at the same address on the second
run, we never recreate the JIT breakpoint, because we hit this early
return:
static int
jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
struct jit_program_space_data *ps_data)
{
[...]
if (ps_data->cached_code_address == addr)
return 0;
[...]
delete_breakpoint (ps_data->jit_breakpoint);
[...]
ps_data->jit_breakpoint = create_jit_event_breakpoint (gdbarch, addr);
Fix this by deleting the breakpoint and discarding the cached code
address when the objfile where the previous JIT breakpoint was found
is deleted/unloaded in the first place.
The test that was originally added for PR11094 doesn't trip on this
because:
#1 - It doesn't test the case of the JIT descriptor's address _not_
changing between reruns.
#2 - And then it doesn't do "maint info breakpoints", or really
anything with the JIT at all.
#3 - and even then, to trigger the problem the JIT descriptor needs
to be in a separate library, while the current test puts it in
the main program.
The patch extends the test to cover all combinations of these
scenarios.

I noticed that we sometimes get this:
(gdb) print &__jit_debug_descriptor
$1 = (struct jit_descriptor *) 0x601040 <__jit_debug_descriptor>
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
[...]
(gdb) run
[...]
Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/jit-simple/jit-simple

36 return 0;
(gdb) print &__jit_debug_descriptor
$2 = (struct jit_descriptor *) 0x601040 <__jit_debug_descriptor>
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
All tests PASSed, but note the "Unsupported JIT protocol version 4"
message.
Also notice that "__jit_debug_descriptor" has the same address before
and after the rerun, while the test is built in a way that should make
that address change between runs.
The test doesn't catch any of this because it doesn't compare
before/after addresses.
And then notice the "blah 1" test messages. "blah" is clearly a WIP
message, but it should be at least "blah 2" the second time. :-)
The reason this sometimes happens is that the test recompiles the
program and expects gdb to reload it automaticallyt on "run". However,
if the original program and the new recompilation happen to be in the
same second, then gdb does not realize that the binary needs to be
reloaded. (This is an old problem out of scope of this series.) If
that happens, then GDB ends up using the wrong symbols for the program
that it spawns, reads the JIT descriptor out of the wrong address,
finds garbage, and prints that "unsupported version" notice.
Fix that in the same way gdb.base/reread.exp handles it -- by sleeping
one second before recompiling.

The .exp patch is an obvious typo fix I think. The regex was written to

the purpose of this testfile.

This patch adds a test to verify that events are sent properly to all
UIs when the user selection context (inferior, thread, frame) changes.
The goal of the C test file is to provide two threads that are stopped with the
same predictable backtrace (so that we can test frame switching). The barrier
helps us know when the child threads are started. Then, scheduler-locking is
used to bring each thread one by one to the position we expect them to be
during the test.

* gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.exp: New file.
* gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c: New file.
With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly
selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs.
When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the
front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it
informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the
front-end.
This patch addresses PR gdb/20487.
In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds
a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The
idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition,
it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision
would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find
that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be
ill-named for that job.
Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the
frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of
the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events.
Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate:
thread
------
1. CLI command:
thread 1.3
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={...}
2. MI command:
-thread-select 3
CLI event:
[Switching to thread 1.3 ...]
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
thread 1.3
MI event/reply:
&"thread 1.3\n"
~"#0 child_sub_function () ...
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",...}
^done
frame
-----
1. CLI command:
frame 1
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1",...}
2. MI command:
-stack-select-frame 1
CLI event:
#1 0x00000000004007f0 in child_function...
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
frame 1
MI event/reply:
&"frame 1\n"
~"#1 0x00000000004007f9 in ..."
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1"...}
^done
inferior
--------
Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's
no way to select the inferior in pure MI.
1. CLI command:
inferior 2
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3"
Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited,
the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to
select, the =thread-selected event does not apply...
2. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
inferior 2
MI event/reply:
&"inferior 2\n"
~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]"
=thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...}
^done
Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress
notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c.
This means that it's now possible to use the
add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some
event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in
this patch.
The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract
the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is
also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user
already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is
not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the
event twice.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and
native-extended-gdbserver.

jit_breakpoint_re_set() is specific by trying to insert a breakpoint into the
main executable, not into a shared library. During attachment GDB thinks it
needs to use 'breakpoint always-inserted' from
breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now() as a newly attached thread is
'thread_info->executing' due to 'lwp_info->must_set_ptrace_flags' enabled and
the task not yet stopped. This did not happen before the 'bad commit' above
which adds tracking of such thread.
GDB then fails to insert the breakpoints to invalid address as PIE executable
gets properly relocated during later phase of attachment. One can see in the
backtraces below:
-> jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal()
later:
-> svr4_exec_displacement()
One can suppress the initial breakpoint_re_set() call as there will be another
breakpoint_re_set() done from the final post_create_inferior() call in
setup_inferior().
BTW additionally 'threads_executing' cache bool is somehow stale (somewhere is
missing update_threads_executing()). I was trying to deal with that in my
first/second attempt below but in my final third attempt (attached) I have
left it as it is.
First attempt trying not to falsely require 'breakpoint always-inserted':
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix1.patch
Reduced first attempt:
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix2.patch
The third attempt suppresses breakpoint insertion until PIE executable gets
relocated by svr4_exec_displacement(). Applied.

gdbserver), we override gdb_exit in lib/gdbserver-support.exp, so
that we can close gdbserver first. However, we don't close gdbserver
in mi_gdb_exit. This makes a problem in my aarch64 mulit-arch testing,
in which I run some mi tests, mi-watch.exp for example, in different
variations (aarch64 and arm),
Schedule of variations:
junor0-2
junor0-2-arm/-marm
junor0-2-arm/-mthumb
When the test is done in the first variation (aarch64), test case is
recompiled for arm, but GDBserver with aarch64 program is still
running. When the second variation is started, GDB loads arm program,
but GDBserver still loads aarch64 program because the old GDBserver
process is using it. We'll get,
47-target-select remote junor0-2:2350^M
&"warning: Selected architecture arm is not compatible with reported target architecture aarch64\n"^M
&"warning: Architecture rejected target-supplied description\n"
This patch fixes this problem by closing GDBserver in mi_gdb_exit.

* lib/gdbserver-support.exp: Rename mi_gdb_exit.
(gdb_exit): Rename it to ...
(gdbserver_gdb_exit): ... Close GDBserver.
(gdb_exit): New proc, call gdbserver_gdb_exit.
(mi_gdb_exit): Likewise.
This patch is to make remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp use gdbserver-base
and remove duplicated code.
gdb/testsuite:
2016-09-22 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* boards/gdbserver-base.exp (gdb_server_prog): Set the absolute
path.
* boards/remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp: Use gdbserver-base.
Remove duplication.
In lib/gdbserver-support.exp, we rename gdb_exit to
gdbserver_orig_gdb_exit, but we check the existence gdbserver_gdb_exit.
We should check gdbserver_orig_gdb_exit instead. Looks it is a typo
or an oversight.

* lib/gdbserver-support.exp: Check the existence of
gdbserver_orig_gdb_exit rather than gdbserver_gdb_exit.
