These are no longer needed and might hold invalid addresses once we change the
vector of function segment pointers into a vector of function segment objects
where a reallocation of the vector changes the address of its elements.
Directly insert new btrace_function pointers into the vector and have the
vector own these pointers. This allows us to later retrieve these objects by
their number directly after creation whereas at the moment we have to wait
until the vector is fully populated.
This requires to pull btrace_thread_info through different functions but
cleans up the code for freeing the trace.
The user would always get the instruction_history and function_call_history
objects of the current thread, not the thread for which the gdb.Record object
was created.
The attached testcase fails without this patch and passes with the patch.
struct btrace_insn is not a POD [1] so we shouldn't be using memset to
initialize it [2].
Use list-initialization instead, wrapped in a "pt insn to btrace insn"
function, which looks like just begging to be added next to the
existing pt_reclassify_insn/pt_btrace_insn_flags functions.
[1] - because its field "flags" is not POD, because enum_flags has a
non-trivial default ctor.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-04-25 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* btrace.c (pt_btrace_insn_flags): Change parameter type to
reference.
(pt_btrace_insn): New function.
(ftrace_add_pt): Remove memset call and use pt_btrace_insn.
Currently, btrace_find_insn_by_number will iterate over all function call
segments to find the one that contains the needed instruction. This linear
search is too slow for the upcoming Python bindings that will use this
function to access instructions. This patch introduces a vector in struct
btrace_thread_info that holds pointers to all recorded function segments and
allows to use binary search.
The proper solution is to turn the underlying tree into a vector of objects
and use indices for access. This requires more work. A patch set is
currently being worked on and will be published later.

On 64-bit FC25, the _dl_runtime_resolve function uses a conditional branch to
'call' a particular variant optimized for that system:

End of assembler dump.
When computing the function-level trace, btrace treats this as a switch from
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_opt to _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex. We know that we
switched functions but we can't really say in which caller/callee relationship
those two functions are.
In addition to preserving the indentaion level, also preserve the caller
information. This is a heuristic since we don't really know. But at least in
this case, this seems to be the right thing to do.
This fixes a fail in gdb.btrace/rn-dl-bind.exp on 64-bit FC25.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_new_switch): Preserve up link and flags.
When recording is started for a running thread, GDB was able to start tracing
but then failed to read registers to insert the initial entry for the current
PC. We don't really need that initial entry if we don't know where exactly we
started recording. Skip that step to allow recording to be started while
threads are running.
If we do run into errors, we need to undo the tracing enable to not leak this
thread. The operation did not complete so our caller won't clean up this
thread.
For the BTRACE_FORMAT_PT btrace format, we don't need that initial entry since
it will be recorded in the trace. We can omit the call to btrace_add_pc.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Most of the time, the trace should be in one piece. This case is handled fine
by GDB. In some cases, however, there may be gaps in the trace. They result
from trace decode errors or from overflows.
A gap in the trace means we lost an unknown amount of trace. Gaps can be very
small, such as a few instructions in the same function, or they can be rather
big. We may, for example, lose a few function calls or returns. The trace may
continue in a different function and we likely don't know how we got there.
Even though we can't say how the program executed across a gap, higher levels
may not be impacted too much by it. Let's assume we have functions a-e and a
trace that looks roughly like this:
a
\
b b
\ /
c <gap> c
/
d d
\ /
e
Even though we can't say for sure, it is likely that b and c are the same
function instance before and after the gap. This patch is trying to connect
the c and b function segments across the gap.
This will add a to the back trace of b on the right hand side. The changes are
reflected in GDB's internal representation of the trace and will improve:
- the output of "record function-call-history /c"
- the output of "backtrace" in replay mode
- source stepping in replay mode
will be improved indirectly via the improved back trace
I don't have an automated test for this patch; decode errors will be fixed and
overflows occur sporadically and are quite rare. I tested it by hacking GDB to
provoke a decode error and on the expected gap in the gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp
test.
The issue is that we can't predict where we will be able to re-sync in case of
errors. For the expected decode error in gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp, for example, we
may be able to re-sync somewhere in dlclose, in test, in main, or not at all.
Here's one example run of gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp with and without this patch.

It worked nicely in this case but it may, of course, also lead to weird
connections; it is a heuristic, after all.
It works best when the gap is small and the trace pieces are long.

When encountering a return for which we have not seen a corresponding call, GDB
starts a new back trace from level -1, i.e. from the level of the first function
in the trace.
In the presence of trace gaps, this may cause some rather big jump.

In this case it will look like we were able to connect the trace parts across
the disabled gap. We were not. More work is required to achieve this.
In the general case, the function-call history for the two trace parts won't
match. They may be off by a few levels or they may be entirely different. All
this patch does is to preserve the indentation level of the record
function-call-history command.
The disabled gap is caused by a sysenter not returning to the next instruction.

I've seen this on 32-bit Fedora 23. I have not investigated what causes this
and whether we can avoid the gap in the first place. Let's first try to make
GDB handle such gaps more gracefully.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_new_return): Start from the previous function's level
if we can't find a matching call for a return.
An unconditional jump to the start of a function typically indicates a tail
call.
If we can't determine the start of the function at the destination address, we
used to treat it as a tail call, as well. This results in lots of tail calls
for code for which we don't have symbol information.
Restrict the heuristic to only consider jumps as tail calls that switch
functions in the case where we can't determine the start of a function. This
effectively disables tail call detection for code without symbol information.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_update_function): Update tail call heuristic.
GDB ignores trace gaps from decode errors or overflows at the beginning of the
trace. There isn't really a gap in the trace; the trace just starts a bit
later than expected.
In cases where there is no trace at all or where the trace is smaller than
expected, this may hide the reason for the missing trace.
Allow leading trace gaps. They will be shown as decode warnings and by the
record function-call-history command.

Also add a warning when decoding the trace and print the instruction number

undefined, and is running on a system that supports Intel(R) Processor Trace,
GDB will run into an internal error when trying to decode the trace.

gdb/btrace.c:971: internal-error: Unexpected branch trace format.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
This requires a system with Linux kernel 4.1 or later running on a 5th
Generation Intel Core processor or later.
The issue is documented as PR 19297.
When trying to enable branch tracing, in addition to checking the target
support for the requested branch tracing format, also check whether GDB
supports. it.

Indicate speculatively executed instructions with a leading '?'. We use the
space that is normally used for the PC prefix. In the case where the
instruction at the current PC had been executed speculatively before, the PC
prefix will be partially overwritten resulting in "?> ".
As a side-effect, the /p modifier to omit the PC prefix in the "record
instruction-history" command now uses a 3-space PC prefix " " in order to
have enough space for the speculative execution indication.

This patch splits the TRY_CATCH macro into three, so that we go from
this:
~~~
volatile gdb_exception ex;
TRY_CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
if (ex.reason < 0)
{
}
~~~
to this:
~~~
TRY
{
}
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
~~~
Thus, we'll be getting rid of the local volatile exception object, and
declaring the caught exception in the catch block.
This allows reimplementing TRY/CATCH in terms of C++ exceptions when
building in C++ mode, while still allowing to build GDB in C mode
(using setjmp/longjmp), as a transition step.
TBC, after this patch, is it _not_ valid to have code between the TRY
and the CATCH blocks, like:
TRY
{
}
// some code here.
CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
{
}
END_CATCH
Just like it isn't valid to do that with C++'s native try/catch.
By switching to creating the exception object inside the CATCH block
scope, we can get rid of all the explicitly allocated volatile
exception objects all over the tree, and map the CATCH block more
directly to C++'s catch blocks.
The majority of the TRY_CATCH -> TRY+CATCH+END_CATCH conversion was
done with a script, rerun from scratch at every rebase, no manual
editing involved. After the mechanical conversion, a few places
needed manual intervention, to fix preexisting cases where we were
using the exception object outside of the TRY_CATCH block, and cases
where we were using "else" after a 'if (ex.reason) < 0)' [a CATCH
after this patch]. The result was folded into this patch so that GDB
still builds at each incremental step.
END_CATCH is necessary for two reasons:
First, because we name the exception object in the CATCH block, which
requires creating a scope, which in turn must be closed somewhere.
Declaring the exception variable in the initializer field of a for
block, like:
#define CATCH(EXCEPTION, mask) \
for (struct gdb_exception EXCEPTION; \
exceptions_state_mc_catch (&EXCEPTION, MASK); \
EXCEPTION = exception_none)
would avoid needing END_CATCH, but alas, in C mode, we build with C90,
which doesn't allow mixed declarations and code.
Second, because when TRY/CATCH are wired to real C++ try/catch, as
long as we need to handle cleanup chains, even if there's no CATCH
block that wants to catch the exception, we need for stop at every
frame in the unwind chain and run cleanups, then rethrow. That will
be done in END_CATCH.
After we require C++, we'll still need TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH until
cleanups are completely phased out -- TRY/CATCH in C++ mode will
save/restore the current cleanup chain, like in C mode, and END_CATCH
catches otherwise uncaugh exceptions, runs cleanups and rethrows, so
that C++ cleanups and exceptions can coexist.
IMO, this still makes the TRY/CATCH code look a bit more like a
newcomer would expect, so IMO worth it even if we weren't considering
C++.

* common/common-exceptions.c (struct catcher) <exception>: No
longer a pointer to volatile exception. Now an exception value.
<mask>: Delete field.

(exceptions_state_mc): No longer pop the catcher here.
(exceptions_state_mc_catch): New function.
(throw_exception): Adjust.

(CATCH, END_CATCH): New.
All callers adjusted.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Adjust all callers of TRY_CATCH to use TRY/CATCH/END_CATCH
instead.
On some systems, _dl_runtime_resolve returns to the resolved function
instead of jumping to it. Since btrace will not find the function in
the current stack back trace, it will start a new back trace on the
same level. It will look the same to the user via the backtrace
command but the frames will have different id's which confuses stepping.
This fixes a test fail with 32-bit inferior reported by Jan Kratochvil.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_update_function): Treat return as tailcall for
"_dl_runtime_resolve".
The "record function-call-history" command prints the range of source lines
for a function segment when given the /l modifier. This information is
computed for the entire execution history when processing the recorded branch
trace.
To speed up the initial trace processing, we compute the information when
we print a function segment and only if requested. The computation is fast
enough (due to the limited scope) that it is not worth storing the data in
struct btrace_function, anymore.
gdb/
* btrace.h (btrace_function) <lbegin, lend>: Remove.
* btrace.c (ftrace_debug): Do not print the line range.

* record-btrace.c (btrace_compute_src_line_range): New.
(btrace_call_history_src_line): Call btrace_compute_src_line_range.
Indicate gaps in the trace due to decode errors. Internally, a gap is
represented as a btrace function segment without instructions and with a
non-zero format-specific error code.
Show the gap when traversing the instruction or function call history.
Also indicate gaps in "info record".
It looks like this:
(gdb) info record

Add a format argument to the various supports_btrace functions to check
for support of a specific btrace format. This is to prepare for a new
format.
Removed two redundant calls. The check will be made in the subsequent
btrace_enable call.

Add a structure to hold the branch trace data and an enum to describe
the format of that data. So far, only BTS is supported. Also added
a NONE format to indicate that no branch trace data is available.
This will make it easier to support different branch trace formats in
the future.
