Now that the GDB 8.3 branch has been created, we can
bump the version number.
gdb/ChangeLog:
GDB 8.3 branch created (143420fb0d5ae54323ba9953f0818c194635228d):
* version.in: Bump version to 8.3.50.DATE-git.
When the target description support was added to RISC-V, the register
numbers assigned to the fflags, frm, and fcsr control registers in the
default target descriptions didn't match the register numbers used by
GDB before the target description support was added.
What this means is that if a tools exists in the wild that is using
hard-coded register number, setup to match GDB's old numbering, then
this will have been broken (for fflags, frm, and fcsr) by the move to
target descriptions. QEMU is such a tool.
There are a couple of solutions that could be used to work around this
issue:
- The user can create their own xml description file with the
register numbers setup to match their old tool, then load this by
telling GDB 'set tdesc filename FILENAME'.
- Update their old tool to use the newer default numbering scheme, or
better yet add proper target description support to their tool.
- We could have RISC-V GDB change to maintain the old defaults.
This patch changes GDB back to using the old numbering scheme.
This change is only visible to remote targets that don't supply their
own xml description file and instead rely on GDB's default numbering.
Note that even though 32bit-cpu.xml and 64bit-cpu.xml have changed,
the corresponding .c file has not, this is because the numbering added
to the registers in the xml files is number 0, this doesn't result in
any new C code being generated .

The new test case in py-value.exp fails -- the code was changed to
throw ValueError, but the test still checks for TypeError. This patch

2019-02-26 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_from_buffer): Check for
ValueError, not TypeError.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention two argument form of gdb.Value constructor.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Values From Inferior): Document second form
of Value.__init__.
Provided a buffer BUFOBJ and a type TYPE, construct a gdb.Value object
with type TYPE, where the value's contents are taken from BUFOBJ.
E.g...
(gdb) python import struct
(gdb) python unsigned_int_type=gdb.lookup_type('unsigned int')
(gdb) python b=struct.pack('=I',0xdeadbeef)
(gdb) python v=gdb.Value(b, unsigned_int_type) ; print("%#x" % v)
0xdeadbeef
This two argument form of the gdb.Value constructor may also be used
to obtain gdb values from selected portions of buffers read with
Inferior.read_memory(). The test case (which is in a separate patch)
demonstrates this use case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-value.c (convert_buffer_and_type_to_value): New
function.
(valpy_new): Parse arguments via gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
Add support for handling an optional second argument. Call
convert_buffer_and_type_to_value as appropriate.
This patch causes PyBuffer_Release() to be called when the associated
buffer goes out of scope. I've been using it as follows:
...
Py_buffer_up buffer_up;
Py_buffer py_buf;
if (PyObject_CheckBuffer (obj)
&& PyObject_GetBuffer (obj, &py_buf, PyBUF_SIMPLE) == 0)
{
/* Got a buffer, py_buf, out of obj. Cause it to released
when it goes out of scope. */
buffer_up.reset (&py_buf);
}
...
This snippet of code was taken directly from an upcoming patch to
python-value.c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python-internal.h (Py_buffer_deleter): New struct.
(Py_buffer_up): New typedef.
Previously if build_id_verify failed, dwz_bfd was cleared to NULL via

* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_get_dwz_file): Reset dwz_bfd to nullptr
instead of releasing ownership.
When loading dwp files, we create an array of ELF sections indexed by the ELF
section index in the dwp file. The size of this array is calculated by
section_count, as returned by bfd_count_sections, plus 1 (to account for the
null section at index 0). However, when loading the bfd file, strtab/symtab
sections are not added to the list, nor do they increment section_count, so
section_count is actually smaller than the number of ELF sections.
This happens to work when using GNU dwp, which lays out .debug section first,
with sections like .shstrtab coming at the end. Other tools, like llvm-dwp, put
.strtab first, and gdb crashes when loading those dwp files.
For instance, with the current state of gdb, loading a file like this:
$ readelf -SW <file.dwp>
[ 0] <empty>
[ 1] .debug_foo PROGBITS ...
[ 2] .strtab STRTAB ...
... results in section_count = 2 (.debug is the only thing placed into
bfd->sections, so section_count + 1 == 2), and sectp->this_idx = 1 when mapping
over .debug_foo in dwarf2_locate_common_dwp_sections, which passes the
assertion that 1 < 2.
However, using a dwp file produced by llvm-dwp:
$ readelf -SW <file.dwp>
[ 0] <empty>
[ 1] .strtab STRTAB ...
[ 2] .debug_foo PROGBITS ...
... results in section_count = 2 (.debug is the only thing placed into
bfd->sections, so section_count + 1 == 2), and sectp->this_idx = 2 when mapping
over .debug_foo in dwarf2_locate_common_dwp_sections, which fails the assertion
that 2 < 2.
The assertion hit is:
gdb/dwarf2read.c:13009: internal-error: void dwarf2_locate_common_dwp_sections(bfd*, asection*, void*): Assertion `elf_section_nr < dwp_file->num_sections' failed.
This patch changes the calculation of section_count to use elf_numsections,
which should return the actual number of ELF sections.
commit 192b62ce0b4bb5c61188f570e127a26d2c32f716 ("Use class to manage
BFD reference counts") changed darwin_get_dyld_bfd to use:
+ dyld_bfd.release ();
rather than
- do_cleanups (cleanup);
However, using release here leaks the BFD. Instead, simply assigning
"sub" to "dyld_bfd" achieves what was meant.

Back when I proposed the '--readnever' feature, I somehow forgot or
decided not to include the bits related to gcore.in in the original
patch. This patch finally updates the gcore script to invoke GDB
using '--readnever'.
We've been carrying this patch on Fedora GDB for quite some time, and
as expected the corefiles generated by gcore on Fedora don't have
problems, which I think is the best indicator that the it's safe to
generate corefiles using '--readnever'.

When looking for a separate debug file that matches a given build-id,
GDB only looks in the host's debug dir (typically /usr/lib/debug). This
patch makes it look in the sysroot as well. This is to match the
behavior of GDB when using debuglink-based separate debug files,
introduced in :
402d2bfec42 ("Look for separate debug files in debug directories under a sysroot.")
In the following example, my sysroot is "/tmp/sysroot" and I am trying
to load symbols for
/tmp/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gconv/EBCDIC-AT-DE.so. This is
the current behavior:

In the original code, there is a suspicious "abfd.release ()" in
build_id_to_debug_bfd, that I don't understand. If a file with the
right name exists but its build-id note doesn't match, we release (leak)
our reference, meaning the file will stay open? I removed it in the new
code, so that the reference is dropped if we end up not using that file.
I tested briefly by corrupting a separate debug file to trigger this
code, nothing exploded.

* build-id.c (build_id_to_debug_bfd_1): New function.
(build_id_to_debug_bfd): Look for separate debug file in

The problem here is that when create_sals_line_offset sets the default
symtab, it immediately calls symtab_to_fullname, passing that fullname
to collect_symtabs_from_filename to find all matching symtabs. This
fails because we end up looking for a symtab with the name of the
actual file on disk (which is different in this case because of the
symlink) instead of the one stored in the debug info.
Since we already have the lookup name of the default symtab, use it
instead of the fullname. [This fullname thing was originally added
in 2007 in a series dealing with *displaying* absolute file names.
Clearly, this instance has nothing to do with the display of file names.]

The GCC Guality testsuite within GCC compiles C/C++ files in GCC at
various optimization levels then debugs them in GDB, checking that
program values can be read. This is done within the dejagnu framework.
The new style options in GDB have broken many of the tests due to the
testsuite being unable to process the new control characters. The fix
in Guality is to either to improve the string matching or to disable
styling on the cli or init file (after checking gdb is recent enough
to support styling).
This fix will also need making an any other testsuites in the wild
that use GDB.
An alternative would be to automatically disable styling when using GDB
in batch mode. The reasoning here is that batch mode is only used when
automating GDB and any output will be processed later either with text
processing tools or viewed in text editors, many of these will not
correctly handle the control characters by default. This ensures GDB
continues to work as expected. Anyone who explicitly wants styling in
batch mode can enable it either in the init file or adding to the batch
file - but that would not be the standard use case.
Patch simply disables style after reading the batch command flag, before
reading in the init file or batch file.

* main.c (captured_main_1): Disable styling in batch mode.
The syntax we ended up with for -m32 -fPIC calls to __tls_get_addr is
rather weird.
bl __tls_get_addr+0x8000(gd0@tlsgd)@plt
This came about by accident, probably due to requiring the arg reloc
before the call reloc.
Of course the @plt really belongs with __tls_get_addr since it affects
the call rather than the call arg, and it isn't a great deal of
trouble to ensure the relocs are emitted in the correct order. This
patch supports a newer syntax, like so:
