Some of the comparison functions in infcall-nested-structs.c contain
redundant comparisons like a.<some_field> == a.<some_field> instead of

When running the gdb testsuite with target board unix/-fPIE/-pie, the
resulting ada executables are not PIE executables, because gnatmake doesn't
recognize -pie, and consequently doesn't pass it to gnatlink.
Fix this by replacing "-pie" with "-largs -pie -margs" in
target_compile_ada_from_dir, and doing the same for -no-pie.

On openSUSE Leap 15.1 using rustc version 1.36.0 (using llvm 7), I get:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.rust/simple.exp: print e2.0

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.rust/simple.exp: print k
...
while we're expecting:
...
gdb_test "print k" " = simple::SpaceSaver::Nothing"
...
When using a relatively recent version of Rust with a somewhat older version
of LLVM, the Rust compiler will emit a legacy encoding of enums (see also
quirk_rust_enum in dwarf2read.c).
So, the variable k:
...
<17><3d58>: Abbrev Number: 15 (DW_TAG_variable)
<3d59> DW_AT_location : 3 byte block: 91 b8 4 (DW_OP_fbreg: 568)

has type:
...

<423e> DW_AT_type : <0x4245>
<4242> DW_AT_alignment : 8
<4243> DW_AT_data_member_location: 0
...
The "RUST$ENCODED$ENUM$0$Nothing" means that field 0 is both a pointer and a
discriminant, and if the value is 0, then the enum is just a data-less variant
named "Nothing".
However, the corresponding type has two fields, where not field 0 but field 1
is a pointer, and field 0 is a byte:
...
<2><4245>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<4246> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2a11): Thebox
<424a> DW_AT_byte_size : 16

The testcase in the PR has two empty output sections, .sec1 with an
ALIGN and symbol assignment, and .sec2 just with an empty input
section. The symbol assignment results in .sec1 being kept, but
because it is empty this section doesn't take space from the memory
region as you might expect from the ALIGN. Instead the next section
.sec2, has vma/lma as if .sec1 wasn't present. However, .sec2 is
discarded and os->ignored set, which unfortunately meant that dot
wasn't set from .sec2 vma. That in turn results in .sec2 lma being
set incorrectly. That vma/lma difference is then propagated to
.sec3 where it is seen as an overlap.

Introduces some structures with names that are already in use within

structures 'nextfield' and 'field_info' are now defined in

This commit renames the new structures (in ctfread.c), adding a 'ctf_'

2019-10-07 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* gdb.base/default.exp: Expect _gdb_major/_gdb_minor to be 9.1.
This commit adds a new feature to gdb_test_multiple, an automatically
created variable gdb_test_name. The idea is to make it easier to
write tests using gdb_test_multiple, and avoid places where the string
passed to pass/fail within an action element is different to the
message passed to the top level gdb_test_multiple.
As an example, previously you might write this:
gdb_test_multiple "print foo" "test foo" {
-re "expected output 1" {
pass "test foo"
}
-re "expected output 2" {
fail "test foo"
}
}
This is OK, but it's easy for the pass/fail strings to come out of
sync, or contain a typo. A better version would look like this:
set testname "test foo"
gdb_test_multiple "print foo" $testname {
-re "expected output 1" {
pass $testname
}
-re "expected output 2" {
fail $testname
}
}
This is better, but its a bit of a drag having to create a new
variable each time.
After this patch you can now write this:
gdb_test_multiple "print foo" "test foo" {
-re "expected output 1" {
pass $gdb_test_name
}
-re "expected output 2" {
fail $gdb_test_name
}
}
The $gdb_test_name is setup by gdb_test_multiple, and cleaned up once
the test has completed. Nested calls to gdb_test_multiple are
supported, though $gdb_test_name will only ever contain the inner most
test message (which is probably what you want).
My only regret is that '$gdb_test_name' is so long, but I wanted
something that was unlikely to clash with any existing variable name,
or anything that a user is likely to want to use.
I've tested this on x86-64/GNU Linux and see no test regressions, and
I've converted one test script over to make use of this new technique
both as an example, and to ensure that the new facility doesn't get
broken. I have no plans to convert all tests over to this technique,
but I hope others will find this useful for writing tests in the
future.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): Add gdb_test_name mechanism.
* gdb.base/annota1.exp: Update to use gdb_test_name.
First and foremost the EsSeg attribute was misplaced for CMPSD. Then
both it and MOVSD were lacking Dword on both of their operands.
Finally string insns with multiple operands and requiring use of ES:

This patch is a result of noticing messages like the following:
tmpdir/tls32.o: in function `_start':
(.text+0x1c): unresolvable R_PPC_REL24 relocation against symbol `__tls_get_addr_opt'
./ld-new: final link failed: symbol needs debug section which does not exist
The "needs debug section" comes from attempting to use debug info to
find source line information to print the first error message. That
error isn't of interest to the user, and any previous bfd_error value
which might be of interest is overwritten. So save and restore
bfd_error around the fancy error reporting code.
That still doesn't leave us with a clean bfd_error. Now we get
./ld-new: final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output
An unresolvable relocation surely doesn't mean there is some bfd
section that ld doesn't know how to output! Digging into that showed
a _bfd_elf_section_from_bfd_section failure attempting to find an elf
section correcsponding to ".interp". So don't go looking for elf
sections on linker created bfd sections.
And then fix the linker testsuite which expected the bogus message..

ppc*_elf_tls_optimize decrements the PLT refcount for __tls_get_addr
when a GD or LD sequence can be optimized. Without tls marker relocs
this must be done when processing the argument setup relocations.
With marker relocs it's better done when processing the marker reloc.
But don't count them both ways.
Seen as "unresolvable R_PPC_REL24 relocation against symbol
`__tls_get_addr_opt'" (and other branch relocs).
* elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_tls_optimize): Don't process R_PPC_TLSLD
with non-local symbol. Don't double count __tls_get_addr calls
with marker relocs.
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_tls_optimize): Likewise.
has_tls_get_addr_call is no longer named correctly as the flag is
only set on finding a __tls_get_addr call without tlsld/tlsgd marker
relocations.
* elf32-ppc.c (nomark_tls_get_addr): Rename from has_tls_get_addr_call
throughout.
* elf64-ppc.c (nomark_tls_get_addr): Likewise.
This patch adds the CTF (Compact Ansi-C Type Format) support in gdb.
Two submissions on which this gdb work depends were posted earlier
in May:
* On the binutils mailing list - adding libctf which creates, updates,
reads, and manipulates the CTF data.
* On the gcc mailing list - expanding gcc to directly emit the CFT data
with a new command line option -gt.
CTF is a reduced form of debugging information whose main purpose is to
describe the type of C entities such as structures, unions, typedefs and
function arguments at the global scope only. It does not contain debug
information about source lines, location expressions, or local variables.
For more information on CTF, see the documentation in the libdtrace-ctf
source tree, available here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oracle/libdtrace-ctf/master/doc/ctf-format>.
This patch expands struct elfinfo by adding the .ctf section, which
contains CTF debugging info, and modifies elf_symfile_read() to read it.
If both DWARF and CTF exist in a program, only DWARF will be read. CTF data
will be read only when there is no DWARF. The two-stage symbolic reading
and setting strategy, partial and full, was used.
File ctfread.c contains functions to transform CTF data into gdb's internal
symbol table structures by iterately reading entries from CTF sections
of "data objects", "function info", "variable info", and "data types"
when setting up either partial or full symbol table. If the ELF symbol table
is available, e.g. not stripped, the CTF reader will associate the found
type information with these symbol entries. Due to the proximity between DWARF
and CTF (CTF being a much simplified subset of DWARF), some DWARF implementation
was reused to support CTF.
Test cases ctf-constvars.exp, ctf-cvexpr.exp, ctf-ptype.exp, and ctf-whatis.exp
have been added to verify the correctness of this support.
This patch has missing features and limitations which we will add and
address in the future patches.
