In gdb.trace/unavailable.exp, an action is defined to collect
struct_b.struct_a.array[2] and struct_b.struct_a.array[100],
struct StructB
{
int d, ef;
StructA struct_a;
int s:1;
static StructA static_struct_a;
const char *string;
};
and the other files are not collected.
When GDB examine traceframe collected by the action, "struct_b" is
unavailable completely, which is wrong.
(gdb) p struct_b
$1 = <unavailable>
When GDB reads 'struct_b', it will request to read memory at struct_b's address
of length LEN. Since struct_b.d is not collected, no 'M' block
includes the first part of the desired range, so tfile_xfer_partial returns
TARGET_XFER_UNAVAILABLE and GDB thinks the whole requested range is unavailable.
In order to fix this problem, in the iteration to 'M' blocks, we record the
lowest address of blocks within the request range. If it has, the requested
range isn't unavailable completely. This applies to ctf too. With this patch
applied, the result looks good and fails in unavailable.exp is fixed.
(gdb) p struct_b
$1 = {d = <unavailable>, ef = <unavailable>, struct_a = {a = <unavailable>, b = <unavailable>, array = {<unavailable>,
<unavailable>, -1431655766, <unavailable> <repeats 97 times>, -1431655766, <unavailable> <repeats 9899 times>}, ptr = <unavailable>, bitfield = <unavailable>}, s = <unavailable>, static static_struct_a = {a = <unavailable>, b = <unavailable>, array = {<unavailable> <repeats 10000 times>}, ptr = <unavailable>,
bitfield = <unavailable>}, string = <unavailable>}

Functions ctf_fetch_registers and tfile_fetch_registers have some
duplicated code about guessing the PC in regcache. Sometimes, we
may change one function and forget to update the other one, like this
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-01/msg00292.html
This patch is to move the duplicated code into a new function
tracefile_fetch_registers, and let both ctf_fetch_registers and
tfile_fetch_registers call it.

As a follow-up to
[PATCH 7/8] Adjust read_value_memory to use to_xfer_partial
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00384.html
this patch moves traceframe_available_memory down to the target side.
After this patch, the gdb core code is cleaner, and code on handling
unavailable memory is moved to remote/tfile/ctf targets.
In details, this patch moves traceframe_available_memory code from
memory_xfer_partial_1 to remote target only, so remote target still
uses traceframe_info mechanism to check unavailable memory, and use
remote_ops to read them from read-only sections. We don't use
traceframe_info mechanism for tfile and ctf target, because it is
fast to iterate all traceframes from trace file, so the summary
information got from traceframe_info is not necessary.
This patch also moves two functions to remote.c from target.c,
because they are only used in remote.c. I'll clean them up in another
patch.
gdb:
2014-03-22 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* ctf.c (ctf_xfer_partial): Check the return value of
exec_read_partial_read_only, if it is not TARGET_XFER_OK,
return TARGET_XFER_UNAVAILABLE.
* tracefile-tfile.c (tfile_xfer_partial): Likewise.
* target.c (target_read_live_memory): Move it to remote.c.
(memory_xfer_live_readonly_partial): Likewise.
(memory_xfer_partial_1): Move some code to remote_read_bytes.
* remote.c (target_read_live_memory): Moved from target.c.
(memory_xfer_live_readonly_partial): Likewise.
(remote_read_bytes): New, factored out from
memory_xfer_partial_1.
This patch adjust both ctf and tfile target implementation of to_xfer_partial,
to return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE and set *XFERED_LEN if data is
unavailable. Note that some code on xfer in exec.c can be shared, but
we can do it in a separate pass later.
gdb:

* ctf.c (ctf_xfer_partial): Call
section_table_read_available_memory.
* tracefile-tfile.c (tfile_xfer_partial): Likewise.
In the to_xfer_partial implementations of ctf and tfile, the code on
reading from read-only sections is duplicated. This patch moves it to
a separate function exec_read_partial_read_only.
gdb:
2014-02-23 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* ctf.c (ctf_xfer_partial): Move code to ...
* exec.c (exec_read_partial_read_only): ... it. New function.
* tracefile-tfile.c (tfile_xfer_partial): Likewise.
* tracefile.c: Include "exec.h".
* exec.h (exec_read_partial_read_only): Declare.
At present, tfile target thinks it has memory but ctf doesn't.
This is an oversight when I added ctf target support. This patch
moves the implementations of to_has_all_memory and to_has_memory to
upper layer. After this change, both tfile and ctf target think
they have memory.
gdb:
2014-02-23 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* tracefile-tfile.c (tfile_has_all_memory): Remove.

(tracefile_has_memory): New function.
(init_tracefile_ops): Initialize fields to_has_all_memory and

This patch move the duplicated code between tfile and ctf
targets into file tracefile.c. The common part of target_ops
fields are set in init_tracefile_ops.

This patch is a refactor which moves trace file writer related code
out of tracepoint.c, which has 6k LOC. It moves general trace file
writer to a new file tracefile.c and moves tfile specific writer to
tracefile-tfile.c.
