During armv7b testing gdb.base/store.exp test was failling with
'GDB internal error' with the following message:
Temporary breakpoint 1, wack_double (u=
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:177: internal-error: register_size: Assertion `regnum >= 0 && regnum < (gdbarch_num_regs (gdbarch) + gdbarch_num_pseudo_regs (gdbarch))' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
It turns out that compiler generated DWARF with non-existent
register numbers. The compiler issue is present in both little endian
(armv7) and big endian (armv7b) (it is separate issue). Here is
example for one of formal parameters of wack_double function:
<2><792>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
<793> DW_AT_name : u
<795> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<796> DW_AT_decl_line : 115
<797> DW_AT_type : <0x57c>
<79b> DW_AT_location : 6 byte block: 6d 93 4 6c 93 4 (DW_OP_reg29 (r29); DW_OP_piece: 4; DW_OP_reg28 (r28); DW_OP_piece: 4)
In both big and little endian cases gdbarch_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum
returns -1 which is stored into gdb_regnum. But it causes severe
problem only in big endian case because in read_pieced_value and
write_pieced_value functions BFD_ENDIAN_BIG related processing
happen regardless of gdb_regnum value, for example register_size
function is called and in case of gdb_regnum=-1, it cause
'GDB internal error' and crash.
Solution is to move BFD_ENDIAN_BIG related processing under
(gdb_regnum != -1) branch of processing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2014-11-02 Victor Kamensky <victor.kamensky@linaro.org>
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Do big endian
processing only if gdb_regnum is not -1.
(write_pieced_value): Ditto.
tdep->arm_breakpoint, tdep->thumb_breakpoint, tdep->thumb2_breakpoint
should be set le_ variants in case of arm BE8 code. Those instruciton
sequences are writen to target with simple write_memory, without
regarding gdbarch_byte_order_for_code. But in BE8 case even data
memory is in big endian form, instructions are still in little endian
form.
Because of this issue there are many issues while running gdb test
case in armv7b mode. For example gdb.arch/arm-disp-step.exp test fails
because it gets SIGILL when displaced instrucion sequence reaches
break instruction, which is in wrong byte order.
Solution is to set tdep->xxx_breakpoint sequences in BE8 case (i.e
when gdbarch_byte_order_for_code is BFD_ENDIAN_BIG.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_linux_init_abi): Use
info.byte_order_for_code to choose endianity of breakpoint
instructions snippets.
extract_arm_insn function needs to read instructions in
gdbarch_byte_order_for_code byte order, because in case armv7b,
even data is big endian, instructions are still little endian.
Currently function uses gdbarch_byte_order which would be
big endian in armv7b case.
Because of this issue pretty much all gdb.reverse/ tests are
failing with 'Process record does not support instruction' message.
Fix is to change gdbarch_byte_order to gdbarch_byte_order_for_code,
when passed to extract_unsigned_integer that reads instruction.

The test in gdb.python/python.exp tests "extended-prompt" and expects
working directory is printed. However, working directory on remote
host doesn't have "gdb/testsuite", so the test fails on remote host
like:
set extended-prompt \w ^M
^M

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.
A similar skip is already used in gdb.test/fullname.exp:
# We rely on being able to copy things around.
if { [is_remote host] } {
untested "setting breakpoints by full path"
return -1
}
This patch causes three GDB tests that use "cd" to be skipped for a
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.

In gdb/command/prompt.py:before_prompt_hook, the '\' in the new prompt
is replaced with '\\', shown as below,

> if self.value is not '':
> newprompt = gdb.prompt.substitute_prompt(self.value)
> return newprompt.replace('\\', '\\\\')
> else:
> return None
I don't see any explanations on this in comments nor email. As doc
said, "set extended-prompt \w" substitute the current working
directory, but it prints something different from what pwd or
os.getcwdu() prints on mingw32 host.
(gdb) python print os.getcwdu()^M
\\build2-lucid-cs\yqi\yqi\arm-none-eabi
(gdb) pwd^M
Working directory \\build2-lucid-cs\yqi\yqi\arm-none-eabi
(gdb) set extended-prompt \w
\\\\build2-lucid-cs\\yqi\\yqi\\arm-none-eabi
This makes me think whether the substitution in before_prompt_hook is
necessary or not. This patch is to remove this substitution.
Run gdb.python on x86_64-linux and arm-none-eabi on mingw32 host. No
regressions.

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: 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:

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.

We are trying to insert a breakpoint on line 4 for the following
Ada code.
3 procedure STR is
4 XX : String (1 .. Blocks.Sz) := (others => 'X'); -- STOP
5 K : Integer;
6 begin
7 K := 13;
The code generated on ARM (-march=armv7-m) starts like this:
(gdb) disass str'address
Dump of assembler code for function _ada_str:
--# Line str.adb:3
0x08000014 <+0>: push {r4, r7, lr}
0x08000016 <+2>: sub sp, #28

0x08000022 <+14>: str r3, [r7, #20]
0x08000024 <+16>: ldr r3, [r7, #20]
[...]
When computing the address related to str.adb:4, GDB correctly
resolves it to 0x0800001e first, but then considers the next
3 instructions as being part of the prologue because it thinks
they are part of stack-protector code. As a result, instead
of inserting the breakpoint at line 4, it skips those instruction
and consequently the rest of the instructions until the start
of the next line, which his line 7.
The stack-protector code is expected to start like this...
ldr Rn, .Label
....
.Lable:
.word __stack_chk_guard
... but the implementation actually accepts a sequence where
the ldr location points to an address for which there is no symbol.
It only aborts if the address points to a symbol which is not
__stack_chk_guard.
Since the __stack_chk_guard symbol is always expected to exist
when used (it lives in .dynsym), this patch fixes the issue by
requiring that the ldr gets the address of the __stack_chk_guard
symbol. If the address could not be resolved, then it rejects
the sequence as being stack-protector code.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_stack_protector): Return early if
address loaded by first "ldr" instruction does not have
a corresponding minimal symbol. Update comment.

This patch fixes the bug in my patch skipping stack protector
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-12/msg00110.html
In my skipping stack protector patch, I misunderstood the constant vs.
immediate on instruction encodings, and treated immediate as constant
by mistake. The instruction 'ldr Rd, [PC, #immed]' loads the
address of __stack_chk_guard to Rd, and #immed is an offset from PC.
We should get the __stack_chk_guard from *(pc + #immed).
As a result of this mistake, arm_analyze_load_stack_chk_guard returns
the wrong address of __stack_chk_guard, and the symbol
__stack_chk_guard can't be found. However, we continue to match the
following instructions when symbol isn't found, so the code still
works. In other words, the code just matches the instruction pattern
without checking __stack_chk_guard symbol correctly.
Joel's patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00605.html>
makes the heuristics stricter that we stop matching instructions if
symbol __stack_chk_guard isn't found. Then the bug is exposed. This
patch is to correct the load address computation for ldr instruction,
and it fixes some fails in gdb.mi/gdb792.exp on armv4t both arm and
thumb mode.

* arm-tdep.c (arm_analyze_load_stack_chk_guard): Compute the
loaded address correctly of ldr instruction.
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.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

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) set disassemble-next-line on
(gdb) si
0x0000000000400632 33 }
0x0000000000400631 <sigusr1_handler+17>: 5d pop %rbp
=> 0x0000000000400632 <sigusr1_handler+18>: c3 retq
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
<signal handler called>

1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb) si
<signal handler called>
=> 0x0000003b36a358f7 <__restore_rt+7>: 0f 05 syscall
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
main () at si-handler.c:50
50 global = 0; /* set break here */
=> 0x000000000040066b <main+9>: c7 05 cb 09 20 00 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,0x2009cb(%rip) # 0x601040 <global>
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
(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
than ideal.
- 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.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00652.html, Sandra
shows a target that was broken by the recent update_thread_list
optimization:
(gdb) target remote qa8-centos32-cs:10514
...
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command without a live selected thread.
(gdb)
The error means that the current thread is in "exited" state when the
continue command is processed. The root of the problem was found
here:
> Sending packet: $Hg0#df...Packet received:
...
> Sending packet: $?#3f...Packet received: S00
> Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: l
> Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received:
> Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: unset
This target doesn't really support threads (no thread indication in
stop reply packets; no support for qC), but then supports
qfThreadInfo, and returns an empty thread list to GDB.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00665.html for
why the target does that.
As remote_update_thread_list deletes threads from GDB's list that are
not found in the thread list that the target reports, the result is
that GDB deletes the "fake" main thread that GDB added itself. (As
that thread is currently selected, it is marked "exited" instead of
being deleted straight away.)
This commit avoids deleting the main thread in this scenario.
