Given a linker script fragment like this:
SECTIONS {
. = 0x1000;
.text : AT(0x100) { *(.text) }
.data : AT(0x200) { *(.data) }
.rodata : AT(0x300) { *(.rodata) }
}
and an input file containing sections, '.text', '.data.1', and
'.rodata', then we'd expect the linker to place '.text' and '.rodata' in
the obvious way, and the '.data.1' orphan section would be located after
the '.data' section (assuming similar section properties).
Further, I believe that the expectation would be that the LMA for the
orphan '.data.1' section would start from 0x200 (as there is no '.data'
content).
However, right now, the LMA for '.data.1' would be 0x101, following on
from the '.text' section, this is because the change in LMA for the
'.data' section is not noticed by the linker, if there's no content in
the '.data' section.
What can be even more confusing to a user (though the cause is obvious
once you understand what's going on) is that adding some content to
'.data' will cause the orphan '.data.1' to switch to an LMA based off of
0x200.
This commit changes the behaviour so that an empty section that is in
the default lma region, and sets its lma, will adjust the lma of the
default region, this change will then be reflected in following sections
within the default lma memory region.
There's a new test to cover this issue that passes on a range of
targets, however, some targets generate additional sections, or have
stricter memory region size requirements that make it harder to come
up with a generic pass pattern, that still tests the required
features. For now I've set the test to ignore these targets.
ld/ChangeLog:
* ldlang.c (lang_size_sections_1): Shortcut loop only after
tracking changes to the default regions LMA.
* testsuite/ld-elf/orphan-9.ld: Extend header comment.

When picking an lma_region for an orphan section we currently create a
new lang_output_section_statement_type and then populate this with the
orphan section.
The problem is that the lang_output_section_statement_type has a prev
pointer that links back to the previous output section. For non-orphan
output sections, that are created in linker script order, the prev
pointer will point to the output section that appears previous in linker
script order, as you'd probably expect.
The problem is that orphan sections are placed after processing the
linker script, and so, in the case of an output section created for an
orphan input section, the prev pointer actually points to the last
output section created.
This causes some unexpected behaviour when the orphan section is not
placed after the last non-orphan section that was created.
For example, consider this linker script:
MEMORY {
TEXT : ORIGIN = 0x200, LENGTH = 0x10
RODATA : ORIGIN = 0x400, LENGTH = 0x10
}
SECTIONS {
.text : {*(.text) } AT>TEXT
.data : AT(0x300) { *(.data) }
.rodata : { *(.rodata) } AT>RODATA
}
If we are processing an orphan section '.data.1' and decide to place
this after '.data', then the output section created will have a prev
pointer that references the '.rodata' output section. The result of
this is that '.data.1' will actually be assigned to the RODATA lma
region, which is probably not the expected behaviour.
The reason why '.data.1' is placed into the lma region of the '.rodata'
section is that lma region propagation is done at the time we create the
output section, based on the previous output section pointer, which is
really just a last-output-section-created pointer at that point in time,
though the prev point is fixed up later to reflect the true order of the
output sections.
The solution I propose in this commit is to move the propagation of lma
regions into a separate pass of the linker, rather than performing this
as part of the enter/exit of output sections during linker script
parsing.
During this later phase we have all of the output sections to hand, and
the prev/next points have been fixed up by this point to reflect the
actual placement ordering.
There's a new test to cover this issue that passes on a range of
targets, however, some targets generate additional sections, or have
stricter memory region size requirements that make it harder to come
up with a generic pass pattern, that still tests the required
features. For now I've set the test to ignore these targets.

Make more explicit mention of the fact that orphan sections can cause a
new output section to be created. Though this information is clearly
implied in the manual it might not be clear enough.
A user _might_ (incorrectly) think that orphan sections can only be
inserted into an existing output section.

Many x86 instructions have more than one encodings. Assembler picks
the default one, usually the shortest one. Although the ".s", ".d8"
and ".d32" suffixes can be used to swap register operands or specify
displacement size, they aren't very flexible. This patch adds pseudo
prefixes, {xxx}, to control instruction encoding. The available
pseudo prefixes are {disp8}, {disp32}, {load}, {store}, {vex2}, {vex3}
and {evex}. Pseudo prefixes are preferred over the ".s", ".d8" and
".d32" suffixes, which are deprecated.

Currently, the -maltivec and -mvsx GAS options enable *all* of the altivec
and vsx instructions respecitively that have ever been added. This is in
constract to GCC's -maltivec and -mvsx options, which only enable the oldest
(ie, first) set of altivec and vsx instructions. This patch changes GAS to
mimic GCC's behaviour with respect to -maltivec and -mvsx and it solves a

* gdb.base/step-over-exit.exp: Add explicit test message.
If you do "interrupt -a" just while some thread is stepping over a
breakpoint, gdb trips on an internal error.
The test added by this patch manages to trigger this consistently by
spawning a few threads that are constantly tripping on a conditional
breakpoint whose condition always evaluates to false. With current
gdb, you get:
~~~
interrupt -a
.../src/gdb/inline-frame.c:343: internal-error: void skip_inline_frames(ptid_t): Assertion `find_inline_frame_state (ptid) == NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/interrupt-while-step-over.exp: displaced-stepping=on: iter=0: interrupt -a (GDB internal error)

.../src/gdb/inline-frame.c:343: internal-error: void skip_inline_frames(ptid_t): Assertion `find_inline_frame_state (ptid) == NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/interrupt-while-step-over.exp: displaced-stepping=off: iter=0: wait for stops (GDB internal error)
~~~
The assertion triggers because we're processing a stop for a thread
that had already stopped before and thus had already its inline-frame
state filled in.
Calling handle_inferior_event_1 directly within a
"thread_stop_requested" observer is something that I've wanted to get
rid of before, for being fragile. Nowadays, infrun is aware of
threads with pending events, so we can use that instead, and let the
normal fetch_inferior_event -> handle_inferior_event code path handle
the forced stop.
The change to finish_step_over is necessary because sometimes a thread
that was told to PTRACE_SINGLESTEP reports back a SIGSTOP instead of a
SIGTRAP (i.e., we tell it to single-step, and then interrupt it quick
enough that on the kernel side the thread dequeues the SIGTOP before
ever having had a chance of executing the instruction to be stepped).
SIGSTOP gets translated to a GDB_SIGNAL_0. And then finish_step_over
would miss calling clear_step_over_info, and thus miss restarting the
other threads (which in this case of threads with pending events,
means setting their "resumed" flag, so their pending events can be
consumed).
And now that we always restart threads in finish_step_over, we no
longer need to do that in handle_signal_stop.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

With commit 3b12939dfc ("Replace the sync_execution global with a
new enum prompt_state tristate"), GDB started aborting if you try
splitting an input line with a continuation char (backslash) while in
a multi-line command:
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".
>print \
(gdb) 1 # note "(gdb)" incorrectly printed here.
>end
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
$
That abort is actually a symptom of an old problem introduced when
gdb_readline_wrapper was rewritten to use asynchronous readline, back
in 2007. Note how the "(gdb)" prompt is printed above in the "(gdb)
1" line. Clearly it shouldn't be there, but it already was before the
commit mentioned above. Fixing that also fixes the readline abort
shown above.
The problem starts when command_line_input passes a NULL prompt to
gdb_readline_wrapper when it finds previous incomplete input due to a
backslash, trying to fetch more input without printing another ">"
secondary prompt. That itself should not be a problem, because
passing NULL to gdb_readline_wrapper has the same meaning as passing a
pointer to empty string, since gdb_readline_wrapper exposes the same
interface as 'readline(char *)'. However, gdb_readline_wrapper passes
the prompt argument directly to display_gdb_prompt, and for the
latter, a NULL prompt argument has a different meaning - it requests
printing the primary prompt.
Before commit 782a7b8ef9c096 (which rewrote gdb_readline_wrapper to
use asynchronous readline), GDB behaved like this:
(gdb) commands
[....]
>print \
1
>end
(gdb)
The above is what this commit restores GDB back to.
New test included.

Commit d7e747318f ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make
ui_file a class hierarchy") regressed the TUI's command window.
Newlines miss doing a "carriage return", resulting in output like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(gdb) helpList of classes of commands:
aliases -- Aliases of other commands
breakpoints -- Making program stop at certain points
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the commit mentioned above, the default ui_file->to_write
implementation had a hack that would defer into the ui_file->to_fputs
method. The TUI's ui_file did not implement the to_write method, so
all writes would end up going to the ncurses window via tui_file_fputs
-> tui_puts.
After the commit above, the hack is gone, but the TUI's ui_file still
does not implement the ui_file::write method. Since tui_file inherits
from stdio_file, writing to a tui_file ends up doing fwrite on the
FILE stream the TUI is "associated" with, via stdio_file::write,
instead of writing to the ncurses window.
The fix is to have tui_file override the "write" method.
New test included.

that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The
fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete.
New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and
without execution. (This particular crash only triggers with
execution.)

This patch initializes the BND registers before executing the inferior
call. BND registers can be in arbitrary values at the moment of the
inferior call. In case the function being called uses as part of the
parameters BND register, e.g. when passing a pointer as parameter, the
current value of the register will be used. This can cause boundary
violations that are not due to a real bug or even desired by the user.
In this sense the best to be done is set the BND registers to allow
access to the whole memory, i.e. initialized state, before pushing the
inferior call.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* Memory Protection Extensions: Add information about inferior
calls.
lang_assignment_statement serves both assignments and asserts.
* ldlang.c (open_input_bfds): Check that lang_assignment_statement
is not an assert before referencing defsym.
ppc64_elf_relocate_section lacked a check which meant that it emitted
dynamic relocs against a hidden undefweak symbol for which no dynamic
relocs had been allocated.

* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_relocate_section): Add missing
dyn_relocs check.
Assembler displays upper case hex numbers and we need to force a good
alignment to avoid matching NOPs at the end.
* testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-mpx-inval-2.s: Force a good alignment.
* testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-mpx-inval-2.l: Expect [0-9A-F]+.
* readelf.c (print_gnu_build_attribute_name): Read byte values
from the name string as unsigned bytes.
(process_notes_at): Use memcpy to copy an unterminated name
string.
Certain insns have restrictions on fields. For example, the insn
mentioned in the PR, lqarx, must specify an even general purpose
register as its destination and that register cannot appear in
either of the base or index reg fields. This holds even when the RA0
field is 0 (meaning a zero rather than r0).
PR 21124
* ppc-opc.c (extract_esync, extract_ls, extract_ral, extract_ram)
(extract_raq, extract_ras, extract_rbx): New functions.
(powerpc_operands): Use opposite corresponding insert function.
(Q_MASK): Define.
(powerpc_opcodes): Apply Q_MASK to all quad insns with even
register restriction.
Add asserts that reloc size matches encoding size, and tidy.
* dw2gencfi.c (encoding_size): Return unsigned int.
(emit_expr_encoded): Assert size matches reloc bitsize.
(output_fde): Use unsigned for offset_size and addr_size. Set
addr_size earlier and use in place of constant 4 and uses of
DWARF2_FDE_RELOC_SIZE. Assert it matches reloc bitsize.
Putting the name, comp_dir and producer strings in the .debug_str section
makes it possible to share them across CUs. This saves a small amount of
space (about ~20K on a glibc libc.so.6 build with debuginfo). And makes
it easier for tools like rpm debugedit to adjust the source paths when
generating separate debuginfo files.

* dwarf2dbg.c (out_debug_abbrev): Use DW_FORM_strp instead of
DW_FORM_string for DW_AT_name, DW_AT_comp_dir and DW_AT_producer.
(out_debug_info): Accept symbols to name, comp_dir and producer
in the .debug_str section and emit those offsets not full strings.
(out_debug_str): New function that outputs the strings for name,
comp_dir and producer in .debug_str and generates symbols to
those strings.
(out_debug_line): Create a .debug_str section if necessary and
call out_debug_str before calling out_debug_info.
* testsuite/gas/aarch64/dwarf.d: Add extra section symbol to
expected output.
