This change is relevant only for standard DWARF (as opposed to the GNAT
encodings extensions): at the time of writing it only makes a difference
with GCC patches that are to be integrated: see in particular
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01364.html>.
Given the following Ada declarations:
type Small is mod 2 ** 6;
type Array_Type is array (0 .. 9) of Small
with Pack;
type Array_Access is access all Array_Type;
A : aliased Array_Type := (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);
AA : constant Array_Type := A'Access;
Before this change, we would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) print aa.all(2)
$1 = 3
(gdb) print aa(2)
$2 = 16
This is wrong: both expression should yield the same value: 3. The
problem is simply that the routine which handles accesses to arrays lack
general handling for packed arrays. After this patch, we have the
expected output:
(gdb) print aa.all(2)
$1 = 3
(gdb) print aa(2)
$2 = 3

This patch adds documentation of support for exec events on

packet, as well as to the list containing stub feature

This patch updates several exec-related tests and some of the library
functions in order to get them running with extended-remote. There were
three changes that were required, as follows:
In gdb.base/foll-exec.exp, use 'clean_start' in place of proc 'zap_session'
to reset the state of the debugger between tests. This sets 'remote
exec-file' to execute the correct binary file in each subsequent test.
In gdb.base/pie-execl.exp, there is an expect statement with an expression
that is used to match output from both gdb and the program under debug.
For the remote target, this had to be split into two expressions, using
$inferior_spawn_id to match the output from the program.
Because I had encountered problems with extended-remote exec events in
non-stop mode in my manual testing, I added non-stop testing to the
non-ldr-exc-[1234].exp tests. In order to set non-stop mode for remote
targets, it is necessary to 'set non-stop on' after gdb has started, but
before it connects to gdbserver. This is done using 'save_vars' to set
non-stop mode in GDBFLAGS, so GDB sets non-stop mode on startup.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/foll-exec.c: Add copyright header. Fix
formatting issues.
* gdb.base/foll-exec.exp (zap_session): Delete proc.

an expect statement to match an expression with output from
the program under debug.

This patch implements exec catchpoints for extended-remote Linux
targets. The implementation follows the same approach used for
fork catchpoints, implementing extended-remote target routines for
inserting and removing the catchpoints by just checking if exec events
are supported. Existing host-side code and previous support for
extended-remote exec events takes care of the rest.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_exec_event_p): New function.
(remote_insert_exec_catchpoint): New function.
(remote_remove_exec_catchpoint): New function.
(init_extended_remote_ops): Initialize extended_remote_ops
members to_insert_exec_catchpoint and
to_remove_exec_catchpoint.
This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

Nowadays, GDB calls target_can_download_tracepoint at the entry of
download_tracepoint_locations, which is called by.
update_global_location_list. Sometimes, it is not needed to call
target_can_download_tracepoint at all because there is no tracepoint
created. In remote target, target_can_download_tracepoint send
qTStatus to the remote in order to know whether tracepoint can be
downloaded or not. This means some redundant qTStatus packets are
sent.
This patch is to teach GDB to call target_can_download_tracepoint
lazily, only on the moment there are tracepoint to download.
gdb.perf/single-step.exp (with a local patch to measure RSP packets)
shows the number of RSP packets is reduced because there is no
tracepoint at all, so GDB doesn't send qTStatus any more.

This removes infcall-specific special casing from normal_stop,
simplifying it.
Like the "finish" command's, the FSM is responsible for storing the
function's return value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-09-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>

(struct call_return_meta_info): New.

call_function_by_hand_dummy.

(call_thread_fsm_should_notify_stop): New functions.
(run_inferior_call): Add 'sm' parameter. Associate the FSM with

(call_function_by_hand_dummy): Create a new call_thread_fsm

value out of the FSM.
* infrun.c (fetch_inferior_event): If the FSM says the stop
shouldn't be notified, don't call normal_stop.
(maybe_remove_breakpoints): New function, factored out from ...
(normal_stop): ... here. Simplify.
* infrun.h (maybe_remove_breakpoints): Declare.
* thread-fsm.c (thread_fsm_should_notify_stop): New function.
(thread-fsm.h) <struct thread_fsm_ops>: New field.
(thread_fsm_should_notify_stop): Declare.
This adds an object oriented replacement for the "struct continuation"
mechanism, and converts the stepping commands (step, next, stepi,
nexti) and the "finish" commands to use it.
It adds a new thread "class" (struct thread_fsm) that contains the
necessary info and callbacks to manage the state machine of a thread's
execution command.
This allows getting rid of some hacks. E.g., in fetch_inferior_event
and normal_stop we no longer need to know whether a thread is doing a
multi-step (e.g., step N). This effectively makes the
intermediate_continuations unused -- they'll be garbage collected in a
separate patch. (They were never a proper abstraction, IMO. See how
fetch_inferior_event needs to check step_multi before knowing whether
to call INF_EXEC_CONTINUE or INF_EXEC_COMPLETE.)
The target async vs !async uiout hacks in mi_on_normal_stop go away
too.
print_stop_event is no longer called from normal_stop. Instead it is
now called from within each interpreter's normal_stop observer. This
clears the path to make each interpreter print a stop event the way it
sees fit. Currently we have some hacks in common code to
differenciate CLI vs TUI vs MI around this area.
The "finish" command's FSM class stores the return value plus that
value's position in the value history, so that those can be printed to
both MI and CLI's streams. This fixes the CLI "finish" command when
run from MI -- it now also includes the function's return value in the
CLI stream:
(gdb)

* gdb.mi/mi-cli.exp: Add CLI finish tests.
This patch makes the execution control code use largely the same
mechanisms in both sync- and async-capable targets. This means using
continuations and use the event loop to react to target events on sync
targets as well. The trick is to immediately mark infrun's event loop
source after resume instead of calling wait_for_inferior. Then
fetch_inferior_event is adjusted to do a blocking wait on sync
targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver, with and without
"maint set target-async off".

For the BTS recording format, we sometimes get a FROM->TO record where the
FROM address lies in the kernel and the TO address lies in user space at
whatever address the user process was resumed.
GDB has a heuristic to filter out such records based on looking at the most
significant bit in the PC. This works fine for 64-bit systems but it doesn't
always work for 32-bit systems. Libraries that are loaded at fairly high
addresses might be mistaken for kernel code and branches inside the library
are filtered out.
Change the heuristic to (again heuristically) try to determine the lowest
address in kernel space. Any PC that is smaller than that should be in
user space.
On today's systems, there should be a symbol "_text" at that address.
Read /proc/kallsyms and search for that symbol.
It is not guaranteed that /proc/kallsyms is readable on all systems. On
64-bit systems, we fall back to check the most significant bit. On 32-bit
systems, we refrain from filtering out addresses.
The filtering should really be done by the kernel. And it soon will be:

gdb/testsuite/
* gdb.threads/hand-call-in-threads.exp: Make sure the thread
command actually switches threads. Give up on remaining
tests if target fails to stop at breakpoint.
The new orphan handling tests added in commit c005eb9 fail on a range of
targets. Some of the failures were fixed in commit e32aa93 but not
all. This commit should address the remaining failures.
Update results to account for orphan sections being placed in different
orders, and for other, target specific sections, being discarded.
ld/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* ld-elf/orphan-7.map: Allow for other discarded sections.
* ld-elf/orphan-8.map: Updated to allow for different section
ordering on different targets.
* ld-elf/orphan.ld: Place .sbss section.
