Since 2273f0ac95 ("change minsyms not to be relocated at
read-time"), printing TLS symbols of objfiles with a non-zero base
address, without debug info, fails.
E.g., with:
$ mv /usr/lib/debug /usr/lib/debug-x
to get debug info out of the way, we get:
$ echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -pthread -x c -
$ ./gdb -q -ex start -ex 'p (int) errno' ./a.out
Cannot access memory at address 0xffffef7c0698
instead of the expected:
$1 = 0
The regression is not visible with glibc debuginfo installed.
The problem is that we compute the address of TLS minsyms incorrectly.
To trigger the problem, it is important that the variable is in an
objfile with a non-zero base address. While glibc is a shared library
for 'errno', it's easier for the testcase to use PIE instead of a
shlib. For TLS variables in PT_EXEC the regression obviously does not
happen.

commit 23732b1e32
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Jun 27 16:22:08 2017 +0100
changed objfile_per_bfd_storage->storage_obstack
from 'struct obstack storage_obstack;'
to 'auto_obstack storage_obstack;'
So the obstack is auto allocated when the objfile_per_bfd_storage ctor is
manually called by get_objfile_bfd_data).
However, the ctor call was still followed by a manual call to
obstack_init (&storage->storage_obstack);
This results in a bunch of leaks detected by valgrind, such as:
==24665== 4,064 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 11,469 of 11,590

I noticed that the gdb.rust tests fail because the test suite passes

2017-09-05 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Don't use universal_compile_options
for rust.
Using follow-exec-mode "new" takes a different code path than "same", so
it's interesting to test this path in combination with a change in
architecture of the inferior. This test fails if you remove the
previous patch.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: Test with different
"follow-exec-mode" settings.
(do_test): New procedure.
As mentioned in the previous patch, we should avoid doing register reads
after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's
gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
architecture. When a process does an exec with "follow-exec-mode new",
a new inferior is added by follow_exec. The gdbarch of that new
inferior is at first set to some default value, probably specific to the
gdb build (I get "i386" here), which may not be the right one. It is
updated later by the call to target_find_description. Before that
point, if we try to read the inferior's registers, we may not interpret
them correctly. This has been exposed by a failure in
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp after the previous patch, with:
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 312 bytes, got 816 bytes)
The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is
problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid
is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to
update stop_pc). The registers returned by gdbserver are the x86-64
ones, while we try to interpret them using the "i386" gdbarch.
Postponing the call to add_thread to until the target
description/gdbarch has been updated seems to fix the issue.
As to why this issue was uncovered by the previous patch: what I think
happened before that patch is that since we were updating stop_pc before
switching to the new inferior, we were filling the regcache associated
to the ptid (this worked fine as long as the architectures of the
previous and new process images were the same). The call to
switch_to_thread then worked, because the register read hit the
regcache. Now, it triggers a register read, while the gdbarch is not
set correctly, leading to the "reply is too long" error. If this is
right, it sounds wrong that we delete and re-add a thread with the same
ptid, and are able to access the registers from the deleted thread.
When we delete a thread, should we clear the regcache associated to that
ptid, so that the new thread starts with a fresh/empty regcache?
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (follow_exec): Call add_thread after
target_find_description.
When an inferior execs and changes architecture (e.g. 64 bits to 32
bits), the gdbarch associated to the inferior is updated by the
follow_exec call in handle_inferior_event_1. We should avoid doing any
register read before that point, because the registers sent by the
remote side will be those of the new architecture, but we would
interpret them using the old architecture. We do just that by setting
stop_pc during this window, which obviously requires reading the
registers. This results in gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp failing, GDB
outputting the following error:
Truncated register 50 in remote 'g' packet
This patch fixes that by postponing the setting of stop_pc to after
we've updated the inferior gdbarch.
This bug was hiding another problem, and as such introduces some
failures in gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp. The following patch takes care
of that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): When exec'ing, read

GDBserver still uses pre-generated target descriptions in order to
reply to GDB's query on target description (see xml-builtin-generated.c
in GDBserver build directory). This patch teaches GDBserver to
create XML contents according to the target descriptions rather than
using pre-generated ones.
First, change target feature c files to pass the feature xml file
name to tdesc_create_feature, so that target description in GDBserver
can record them, and create XML contents from these features in
buffer, like
...
<xi:include href="$FEATURE1_XML_NAME"/>
<xi:include href="$FEATURE2_XML_NAME"/>
...
and send this buffer back to GDB.
Note that this patch reuses target_desc.xmltarget a little bit, which is
to hold the XML contents dynamically generated in tdesc_get_features_xml.
However, it is not xfree'ed in ~target_desc, because we can't tell it is
from xstrdup or a literal string. Since we don't delete target_desc,
there is no memory leak yet. After we change all target descriptions to
the new style, target_desc.xmltarget is from xstrdup, then, we can safely
xfree it in ~target_desc.

Nowadays, target_desc.reg_defs is a pointer points to a pre-generated

VEC_safe_push to add each register to vector.

* regformats/regdat.sh: Update generated code.
regformats/regdat.sh generate some *-generated.c files when GDBserver
is built. Each .c file has some static variables, which are only used
within function init_registers_XXX, like this,
static struct reg regs_i386_linux[] = {
{ "eax", 0, 32 },
{ "ecx", 32, 32 },
...
};
static const char *expedite_regs_i386_linux[] = { "ebp", "esp", "eip", 0 };
static const char *xmltarget_i386_linux = "i386-linux.xml";
void
init_registers_i386_linux (void)
{
...
}
This patch moves these static variables' definitions to function
init_registers_XXX, so the generated files look like this,
void
init_registers_i386_linux (void)
{
static struct target_desc tdesc_i386_linux_s;
struct target_desc *result = &tdesc_i386_linux_s;
static struct reg regs_i386_linux[] = {
...
};
static const char *expedite_regs_i386_linux[] = { "ebp", "esp", "eip", 0 };
static const char *xmltarget_i386_linux = "i386-linux.xml";
...
}
We want GDBserver create target descriptions dynamically in each
init_registers_XXXX functions, so this patch moves all the related code
into function init_registers_XXXX, so that the following patch can easily
change function init_registers_XXXX to create target description
dynamically, rather than using current pre-generated array.

* regformats/regdat.sh: Adjust code order.
My compiler (gcc 5.4.0, clang 3.8) gives this warning:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/expprint.c: In lambda function:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/expprint.c:1055:35: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
fprintf_filtered (stream, mod);
^
Fix it by not using the passed string as the format string.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* expprint.c (dump_subexp_body_standard): Use constant format
string in fprintf_filtered call.
Previously this used the error function from GDB directly when linked
against GDB instead of the error method in the host callbacks
structure. This was exposed via a link error when GDB was converted
to C++. The error function invokes the error callback similar to
sim_io_error.
Note that there are also error functions in sim/ppc/main.c and
sim/ppc/misc.c. The ppc libsim.a expects each consumer to provide
several symbols used by the library including "error". sim-calls.c
provides these symbols when the library is linked into gdb. The dgen,
igen, tmp-filter, tmp-ld-decode, tmp-ld-cache, and tmp-ld-insn programs
use the functions from misc.c. psim uses the functions from main.c.
sim/ppc/ChangeLog:
PR sim/20863
* sim_calls.c (error): New function.
NetBSD recently added PT_GETDBREGS and PT_SETDBREGS ptrace operations
that match the existing ones supported by x86-bsd-nat.c. NetBSD's
headers do not provide the DBREG_DRX helper macro, so define a local
version in x86-bsd-nat.c. In addition, add the x86-nat.o and x86-dregs.o
object files to the native NetBSD x86 build targets.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.nat: Add "x86-nat.o x86-dregs.o" for NetBSD/amd64 and
NetBSD/i386.
* x86-bsd-nat.c [!DBREG_DRX && __NetBSD__]: Define DBREG_DRX.
Recent versions of NetBSD hide certain kernel structures needed by the
KVM target from userland unless this macro is defined.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* bsd-kvm.o: Define _KMEMUSER.
* configure.ac: Define _KMEMUSER when checking for "struct lwp".
* configure: Regenerate.
Here's the documentation bits for all the improvements done in
previous commits.
Note that the original "weak alias functions" paragraph ends up
disappearing, because this patch, which I'm considering kind of part
of this series, makes the alias case Just Work:
