This commit adds a new function, exec_file_find, which computes the
full pathname of the main executable in much the same way solib_find
does for pathnames of shared libraries. The bulk of the existing
solib_find was moved into a new static function solib_find_1, with
exec_file_find and solib_find being small wrappers for solib_find_1.

* solist.h (exec_file_find): New declaration.
* solib.c (solib_find_1): New function, factored out from...

This commit adds a new function, exec_file_locate_attach, which works
like exec_file_attach except that, instead of a filename argument, it
takes an integer process ID and attempts to determine the executable
filename from that.

Hi,
When I run gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp on arm-linux target,
I see the following message in the debugging log,
displaced: breakpoint is gone: Thread 22518, step(1)^M
Sending packet: $vCont;s:p57f3.57f6#9d...
^^^^^^^^^
GDB sends vCont;s by mistake, and GDBserver fails on assert. GDB
doesn't consider software single step in infrun.c:displaced_step_fixup,
/* Go back to what we were trying to do. */
step = currently_stepping (tp);
if (debug_displaced)
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog,
"displaced: breakpoint is gone: %s, step(%d)\n",
target_pid_to_str (tp->ptid), step);
target_resume (ptid, step, GDB_SIGNAL_0);
The patch is to let GDB consider software single step here. It fixes
fails in gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp on arm.

Hi,
I see this fail on arm-linux target,
FAIL: gdb.base/disp-step-syscall.exp: fork: single step over fork final pc
which is caused by the PC isn't expected after displaced stepping the
svc instruction. The code is:
=> 0xb6ead9a4 <__libc_do_syscall+4>: svc 0
0xb6ead9a6 <__libc_do_syscall+6>: pop {r7, pc}
0xb6ead9a8: nop.w^M
0xb6ead9ac: nop.w
after single step svc instruction, pc should be 0xb6ead9a6, but the
actual value of pc is 0xb6ead9a8. The problem is illustrated by
turning on debug message of displaced stepping,

Recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes in FreeBSD process cores. Recent
FreeBSD versions include a note containing the XSAVE state for each
thread in the process when XSAVE is in use. The note stores a copy of
the current XSAVE mask in a reserved section of the machine-defined
XSAVE state at the same offset as Linux's NT_X86_XSTATE note.
For native processes, use the PT_GETXSTATE_INFO ptrace request to
determine if XSAVE is enabled, and if so the active XSAVE state mask
(that is, the value of %xcr0 for the target process) as well as the
size of XSAVE state area. Use the PT_GETXSTATE and PT_SETXSTATE requests
to fetch and store the XSAVE state, respectively, in the BSD x86
native targets.
In addition, the FreeBSD amd64 and i386 native targets now include
"read_description" target methods to determine the correct x86 target
description for the current XSAVE mask. On FreeBSD amd64 this also
properly returns an i386 target description for 32-bit binaries which
allows the 64-bit GDB to run 32-bit binaries.
Note that the ptrace changes are in the BSD native targets, not the
FreeBSD-specific native targets since that is where the other ptrace
register accesses occur. Of the other BSDs, NetBSD and DragonFly use
XSAVE in the kernel but do not currently export the extended state via
ptrace(2). OpenBSD does not currently support XSAVE.

The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

PPC64 currently fails this test like:

FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: no thread-specific bp: next: next

FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: with thread-specific bp: continue: continue (the program exited)
The problem is that PPC is a non-continuable watchpoints architecture
and the displaced stepping code isn't coping with that correctly. On
such targets/architectures, a watchpoint traps _before_ the
instruction executes/completes. On a watchpoint trap, the PC points
at the instruction that triggers the watchpoint (side effects haven't
happened yet). In order to move past the watchpoint, GDB needs to
remove the watchpoint, single-step, and reinsert the watchpoint, just
like when stepping past a breakpoint.
The trouble is that if GDB is stepping over a breakpoint with
displaced stepping, and the instruction under the breakpoint triggers
a watchpoint, we get the watchpoint SIGTRAP, expecting a finished
(hard or software) step trap. Even though the thread's PC hasn't
advanced yet (must remove watchpoint for that), since we get a
SIGTRAP, displaced_step_fixup thinks the single-step finished
successfuly anyway, and calls gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup, which then
adjusts the thread's registers incorrectly.
The fix is to cancel the displaced step if we trip on a watchpoint.
handle_inferior_event then processes the watchpoint event, and starts
a new step-over, here:
...
/* At this point, we are stopped at an instruction which has
attempted to write to a piece of memory under control of
a watchpoint. The instruction hasn't actually executed
yet. If we were to evaluate the watchpoint expression
now, we would get the old value, and therefore no change
would seem to have occurred.
...
ecs->event_thread->stepping_over_watchpoint = 1;
keep_going (ecs);
return;
...
but this time, since we have a watchpoint to step over, watchpoints
are removed from the target, so the step-over succeeds.
The keep_going/resume changes are necessary because if we're stepping
over a watchpoint, we need to remove it from the target - displaced
stepping doesn't help, the copy of the instruction in the scratch pad
reads/writes to the same addresses, thus triggers the watchpoint
too... So without those changes we keep triggering the watchpoint
forever, never making progress. With non-stop that means we'll need
to pause all threads momentarily, which we can't today. We could
avoid that by removing the watchpoint _only_ from the thread that is
moving past the watchpoint, but GDB is not prepared for that today
either. For remote targets, that would need new packets, so good to
be able to step over it in-line as fallback anyway.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-04-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (displaced_step_fixup): Switch to the event ptid
earlier. If the thread stopped for a watchpoint and the
target/arch has non-continuable watchpoints, cancel the displaced
step.
(resume): Don't start a displaced step if in-line step-over info
is valid.
TL;DR:
When stepping over a breakpoint with displaced stepping, the core must
be notified of all signals, otherwise the displaced step fixup code
confuses a breakpoint trap in the signal handler for the expected trap
indicating the displaced instruction was single-stepped
normally/successfully.

What should have happened is that the breakpoint hit in the signal
handler should have been presented to the user. But note that
"preempt 'handle'" -- what happened instead is that
displaced_step_fixup confused the breakpoint in the signal handler for
the expected SIGTRAP indicating the displaced instruction was
single-stepped normally/successfully.
This should be affecting all software single-step targets in the same
way.
The fix is to make sure the core sees all signals when displaced
stepping, just like we already must see all signals when doing an
stepping over a breakpoint in-line. We now get:

Breakpoint 3, handler (sig=14) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sigstep.c:35
35 done = 1;
Hardware single-step targets already behave this way, because the
Linux backends (both native and gdbserver) always report signals to
the core if the thread was single-stepping.
As mentioned in the new comment in do_target_resume, we can't fix this
by instead making the displaced_step_fixup phase skip fixing up the PC
if the single step stopped somewhere we didn't expect. Here's what
the backtrace would look like if we did that:

The problem is that with hardware step targets and displaced stepping,
"signal FOO" when stopped at a breakpoint steps the breakpoint
instruction at the same time it delivers a signal. This results in
tp->stepped_breakpoint set, but no step-resume breakpoint set. When
the next stop event arrives, GDB crashes. Irrespective of whether we
should do something more/different to step past the breakpoint in this
scenario (e.g., PR 18225), it's just wrong to assume there'll be a
step-resume breakpoint set (and was not the original intention).

Running break-interp.exp with the target always in non-stop mode trips
on PR13858, as enabling non-stop also enables displaced stepping.
The problem is that when GDB doesn't know where the entry point is, it
doesn't know where to put the displaced stepping scratch pad. The
test added by this commit exercises this. Without the fix, we get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: break *$pc
set displaced-stepping on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: set displaced-stepping on
stepi
0x00000000004005be in ?? ()
Entry point address is not known.
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: stepi
p /x $pc
$2 = 0x4005be
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: get after PC
FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: advanced
The fix switches all GNU/Linux ports to get the entry point from
AT_ENTRY in the target auxiliary vector instead of from symbols. This
is currently only done by PPC when Cell debugging is enabled, but I
think all archs should be able to do the same. Note that
ppc_linux_displaced_step_location cached the result, I'm guessing to
avoid constantly re-fetching the auxv out of remote targets, but
that's no longer necessary nowadays, as the auxv blob is itself cached
in the inferior object. The ppc_linux_entry_point_addr global is
obviously bad for multi-process too nowadays.
Tested on x86-64 (-m64/-m32), PPC64 (-m64/-m32) and S/390 GNU/Linux.
Yao tested the new test on ARM as well.

This patch is related to PR python/16699, and is an improvement over the
patch posted here:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00301.html>
Keith noticed that, when using the "complete" command on GDB to complete
a Python command, some strange things could happen. In order to
understand what can go wrong, I need to explain how the Python
completion mechanism works.
When the user requests a completion of a Python command by using TAB,
GDB will first try to determine the right set of "brkchars" that will be
used when doing the completion. This is done by actually calling the
"complete" method of the Python class. Then, when we already know the
"brkchars" that will be used, we call the "complete" method again, for
the same values.
If you read the thread mentioned above, you will see that one of the
design decisions was to make the "cmdpy_completer_helper" (which is the
function the does the actual calling of the "complete" method) cache the
first result of the completion, since this result will be used in the
second call, to do the actual completion.
The problem is that the "complete" command does not process the
brkchars, and the current Python completion mechanism (improved by the
patch mentioned above) relies on GDB trying to determine the brkchars,
and then doing the completion itself. Therefore, when we use the
"complete" command instead of doing a TAB-completion on GDB, there is a
scenario where we can use the invalid cache of a previous Python command
that was completed before. For example:
(gdb) A <TAB>
(gdb) complete B
B value1
B value10
B value2
B value3
B value4
B value5
B value6
B value7
B value8
B value9
(gdb) B <TAB>
comp1 comp2 comp4 comp6 comp8
comp10 comp3 comp5 comp7 comp9
Here, we see that "complete B " gave a different result than "B <TAB>".
The reason for that is because "A <TAB>" was called before, and its
completion results were "value*", so when GDB tried to "complete B " it
wrongly answered with the results for A. The problem here is using a
wrong cache (A's cache) for completing B.
We tried to come up with a solution that would preserve the caching
mechanism, but it wasn't really possible. So I decided to completely
remove the cache, and doing the method calling twice for every
completion. This is not optimal, but I do not think it will impact
users noticeably.
It is worth mentioning another small issue that I found. The code was
doing:
wordobj = PyUnicode_Decode (word, sizeof (word), host_charset (), NULL);
which is totally wrong, because using "sizeof" here will lead to always
the same result. So I changed this to use "strlen". The testcase also
catches this problem.
Keith kindly expanded the existing testcase to cover the problem
described above, and everything is passing.

Nowadays, in infrun.c:resume, the setting to 'step' variable is like:
if (use_displaced_stepping (gdbarch)
&& tp->control.trap_expected
&& sig == GDB_SIGNAL_0
&& !current_inferior ()->waiting_for_vfork_done)
{
}
/* Do we need to do it the hard way, w/temp breakpoints? */
else if (step)
step = maybe_software_singlestep (gdbarch, pc); <-- [1]
...
if (execution_direction != EXEC_REVERSE
&& step && breakpoint_inserted_here_p (aspace, pc))
{
...
if (gdbarch_cannot_step_breakpoint (gdbarch)) <-- [2]
step = 0;
}
spu doesn't have displaced stepping and uses software single step,
so 'step' is set to zero in [1], and [2] becomes unreachable as a
result. So don't have to call set_gdbarch_cannot_step_breakpoint
in spu_gdbarch_init.

On GNU/Linux, if the running kernel supports clone events, then
linux-thread-db.c defers thread listing to the target beneath:
static void
thread_db_update_thread_list (struct target_ops *ops)
{
...
if (target_has_execution && !thread_db_use_events ())
ops->beneath->to_update_thread_list (ops->beneath);
else
thread_db_update_thread_list_td_ta_thr_iter (ops);
...
}
However, when live debugging, the target beneath, linux-nat.c, does
not implement the to_update_thread_list method. The result is that if
a thread is marked exited (because it can't be deleted right now,
e.g., it was the selected thread), then it won't ever be deleted,
until the process exits or is killed/detached.
A similar thing happens with the remote.c target. Because its
target_update_thread_list implementation skips exited threads when it
walks the current thread list looking for threads that no longer exits
on the target side, using ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, stale exited
threads are never deleted.
This is not a big deal -- I can't think of any way this might be user
visible, other than gdb's memory growing a tiny bit whenever a thread
gets stuck in exited state. Still, might as well clean things up
properly.
All other targets use prune_threads, so are unaffected.
The fix adds a ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro, that like
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, walks the thread list and allows deleting
the iterated thread, and uses that in places that are walking the
thread list in order to delete threads. Actually, after converting
linux-nat.c and remote.c to use this, we find the only other user of
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE is also walking the list to delete
threads. So we convert that too, and end up deleting
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

Currently building gdb is impossible without an installed termcap or
curses library. But, GDB already has a very minimal termcap in the
tree to handle this situation for Windows -- gdb/stub-termcap.c. This
patch makes that the fallback for all hosts.
Testing this on GNU/Linux (by simply hacking away the termcap/curses
detection in gdb/configure.ac), we trip on:
../readline/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `_rl_init_terminal_io':
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:527: undefined reference to `PC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:528: undefined reference to `BC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:529: undefined reference to `UP'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:538: undefined reference to `PC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:539: undefined reference to `BC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:540: undefined reference to `UP'
These are globals that are normally defined by termcap (or ncurses'
termcap emulation).
Now, we could just define replacements in stub-termcap.c, but
readline/terminal.c (at least the copy in our tree) has this:
#if !defined (__linux__) && !defined (NCURSES_VERSION)
# if defined (__EMX__) || defined (NEED_EXTERN_PC)
extern
# endif /* __EMX__ || NEED_EXTERN_PC */
char PC, *BC, *UP;
#endif /* !__linux__ && !NCURSES_VERSION */
which can result in readline defining the globals too. That will
usually work out in C, given that "-fcommon" is usually the default
for C compilers, but that won't work for C++, or C with -fno-common
(link fails with "multiple definition" errors)...
Mirroring those #ifdef conditions in the stub termcap screams
"brittle" to me -- I can see them changing in latter readline
versions.
Work around that by simply using __attribute__((weak)).
Windows/PE/COFF's do support weak, but not on gcc 3.4 based toolchains
(4.8.x does work). Given the file never needed the variables while it
was Windows-only, just continue not defining them there. All other
supported hosts should support this.
