Now that procfs.c is only ever used by Solaris, and, both x86 and
SPARC Solaris support watchpoints (*), we don't need the separate
procfs_use_watchpoints function. Getting rid of it simplifies
C++ification of target_ops.
(*) and I assume that any other Solaris port would use the same kernel
debug API interfaces for watchpoints. Otherwise, we can worry about
it if it ever happens.

When debugging a program using the Ada ravenscar profile, resuming
a program's execution after having switched to a different task
sometimes yields the following error:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command while the target is running.
Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target
and then try again.
In short, the Ravenscar profile is a standardized subset of Ada which
allows tasking (often mapped to threads). We often use it on baremetal
targets where there is no OS support. Thread support is implemented
as a thread target_ops layer. It sits on top of the "remote" layer,
so we can do thread debugging against baremetal targets to which GDB
is connected via "target remote".
What happens, when the user request the program to resume execution,
is the following:
- the ravenscar-thread target_ops layer gets the order to resume
the program's execution. The current thread is not the active
thread in the inferior, and the "remote" layer doesn't know
about that thread anyway. So what we do is (see ravenscar_resume):
+ switch inferior_ptid to the ptid of the actually active thread;
+ ask the layer beneath us to actually do the resume.
- Once that's done, the resuming itself is done. But execute_command
(in top.c) actually does a bit more. More precisely, it unconditionally
checks to see if the language may no longer be matching the current
frame:
check_frame_language_change ();
The problem, here, is that we haven't received the "stop" event
from the inferior, yet. This part will be handled by the event loop,
which is done later. So, checking for the language-change here
doesn't make sense, since we don't really have a frame. In our
case, the error comes from the fact that we end up trying to read
the registers, which causes the error while the remote protocol
is waiting for the event showing the inferior stopped.
This apparently used to work, but it is believed that this was only
accidental. In other words, we had enough information already cached
within GDB that we were able to perform the entire call to
check_frame_language_change without actually querying the target.
On PowerPC targets, this started to fail as a side-effect of a minor
change in the way we get to the regcache during the handling of
software-single-step (which seems fine).
This patch fixes the issue by only calling check_frame_language_change
in cases the inferior isn't running. Otherwise, it skips it, knowing
that the event loop should eventually get to it.

* top.c (execute_command): Do not call check_frame_language_change
if the inferior is running.

I noticed a common pattern with gdb::ref_ptr, where callers would

reference, but it seemed to me that it would be reasonable to add a
static member function that does so.
In this patch I chose to call the function "new_reference". I
considered "acquire_reference" as well, but "new" seemed less
ambiguous than "acquire" to me.

This removes the long_long_align_bit gdbarch attribute in favor of
type_align. This uncovered two possible issues.
First, arc-tdep.c claimed that long long alignment was 32 bits, but as
discussed on the list, ARC has a maximum alignment of 32 bits, so I've
added an arc_type_align function to account for this.
Second, jit.c, the sole user of long_long_align_bit, was confusing
"long long" with uint64_t. The relevant structure is defined in the
JIT API part of the manual as:
struct jit_code_entry
{
struct jit_code_entry *next_entry;
struct jit_code_entry *prev_entry;
const char *symfile_addr;
uint64_t symfile_size;
};
I've changed this code to use uint64_t.

'g' command returns hex-string as response so simply checking for 'E'
to determine if it failed is not enough and can trigger spurious error
messages. For example, invalid behaviour can be easily triggered on
Cortex-M as follows:
(gdb) set $r0 = 0xe0
Sending packet: $P0=e0000000#72...Packet received: OK
Packet P (set-register) is supported
Sending packet: $g#67...Packet received: E0000000849A0020...
Remote failure reply: E0000000849A0020...
This patch fixes the problem by calling putpkt()/getpkt() directly and
checking result with packet_check_result(). This works fine since Enn
response has odd number of bytes while proper response has even number
of bytes.
Also, remote_send() is now not used anywhere so it can be removed.

I noticed that if you set a breakpoint on an ifunc before the ifunc is
resolved, and then let the program call the ifunc, thus resolving it,
GDB end up with a location for that original breakpoint that is
pointing to the ifunc target, but it is left pointing to the first
address of the function, instead of after its prologue. After
prologue is what you get if you create a new breakpoint at that point.
1) With no debug info for the target function:
1.a) Set before resolving, and then program continued passed resolving:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400753 <final>
1.b) Breakpoint set after inferior resolved ifunc:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400757 <final+4>
2) With debug info for the target function:
1.a) Set before resolving, and then program continued passed resolving:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y 0x0000000000400753 in final at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c:20

Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y 0x000000000040075a in final at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c:21
The problem is that elf_gnu_ifunc_resolver_return_stop (called by the
internal breakpoint that traps the resolver returning) does not agree
with linespec.c:minsym_found. It does not skip to the function's
start line (i.e., past the prologue). We can now use the
find_function_start_sal overload added by the previous commmit to fix
this.

* gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp (set-break): Test that GDB resolves
ifunc breakpoint locations correctly of ifunc breakpoints set
while the program resolves the ifunc.
This patch extends/rewrites the gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase to
cover the many different fixes in earlier patches. (This was actually
what encovered most of the problems.)
The current testcase uses an ifunc symbol with the same name as the
ifunc resolver symbol and makes sure to compile the ifunc resolver
without debug info. That does not model how ifuncs are implemented in
gcc/ifunc nowadays. Instead, what we have is that the glibc ifunc
resolvers nowadays are written in C and end up with debug info.
Also, in some cases the ifunc target is written in assembly, but in
other cases it's written in C. In the case of target function written
in C, if the target function has debug info, when we set a break on
the ifunc, we want to set it past the prologue of the target function.
Currently GDB gets that wrong.
To make sure we cover all the different scenarios, the testcase is
tweaked to cover all the different combinations of
- An ifunc resolver with the same name as the user-visible symbol vs
an ifunc resolver with a different name as the user-visible symbol.
- ifunc resolver compiled with and without debug info.
- ifunc target function compiled with and without debug info.
The testcase currently sets breakpoints on ifuncs, calls ifunc
functions, steps into ifunc functions, etc. After this series, this
all works and the testcase passes cleanly.
While working on this, I noticed that "b gnu_ifunc" before and after
the inferior resolved the ifunc would end up with a breakpoint with
different locations. That's now covered by new tests inside the new
"set-break" procedure.
It also tests other things like making sure we can't call an ifunc
without a return-type case if we don't know the type of the target.
And making sure that we pass enough arguments when we do know the
type.

Running the new tests added later in the series on PPC64 (ELFv1)
revealed that the current ifunc support needs a bit of a design rework
to work properly on PPC64/ELFv1, as most of the new tests fail. The
ifunc support only kind of works today if the ifunc symbol and the
resolver have the same name, as is currently tested by the
gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase, which is unlike how ifuncs are
written nowadays.
The crux of the problem is that ifunc symbols are really function
descriptors, not text symbols:
44: 0000000000020060 104 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc_resolver
54: 0000000000020060 104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc
But, currently GDB only knows about ifunc symbols that are text
symbols. GDB's support happens to work in practice for PPC64 when the
ifunc and resolver are one and only, like in the current
gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp testcase:
15: 0000000000020060 104 GNU_IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 gnu_ifunc
because in that case, the synthetic ".gnu_ifunc" entry point text
symbol that bfd creates from the actual GNU ifunc "gnu_ifunc" function
(descriptor) symbol ends up with the the "is a gnu ifunc" flag set /
copied over:
(gdb) maint print msymbols
...
[ 8] i 0x9c4 .gnu_ifunc section .text <<< mst_text_gnu_ifunc
...
[29] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc section .opd crtstuff.c <<< mst_data
But, if the resolver gets a distinct symbol/name from the ifunc
symbol, then we end up with this:
(gdb) maint print msymbols
[ 8] T 0x9e4 .gnu_ifunc_resolver section .text <<< mst_text

I have a follow up bfd patch that turns that into:

[30] D 0x20060 gnu_ifunc_resolver section .opd crtstuff.c
but that won't help everything. We still need this patch.
Specifically, when we do a symbol lookup by name, like e.g., to call a
function (see c-exp.y hunk), e.g., "p gnu_ifunc()", then we need to
know that the found "gnu_ifunc" minimal symbol is an ifunc in order to
do some special processing. But, on PPC, that lookup by name finds
the function descriptor symbol, which presently is just a mst_data
symbol, while at present, we look for mst_text_gnu_ifunc symbols to
decide whether to do special GNU ifunc processing. In most of those
places, we could try to resolve the function descriptor with
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, and then lookup the minimal symbol
at the resolved PC, see if that finds a minimal symbol of type
mst_text_gnu_ifunc. If so, then we could assume that the original
mst_dadta / function descriptor "gnu_ifunc" symbol was an ifunc. I
tried it, and it mostly works, even if it's not the most efficient.
However, there's one case that can't work with such a design -- it's
that of the user calling the ifunc resolver directly to debug it, like
"p gnu_ifunc_resolver(0)", expecting that to return the function
pointer of the final function (which is exercised by the new tests
added later). In this case, with the not-fully-working solution, we'd
resolve the function descriptor, find that there's an
mst_text_gnu_ifunc symbol for the resolved address, and proceed
calling the function as if we tried to call "gnu_ifunc", the
user-visible GNU ifunc symbol, instead of the resolver. I.e., it'd be
impossible to call the resolver directly as a normal function.
Introducing mst_data_gnu_ifunc eliminates the need for several
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr calls, and, fixes the "call
resolver directly" use case mentioned above too. It's the cleanest
approach I could think of.
In sum, we make GNU ifunc function descriptor symbols get a new
"mst_data_gnu_ifunc" minimal symbol type instead of the bare mst_data
type. So when symbol lookup by name finds such a minimal symbol, we
know we found an ifunc symbol, without resolving the entry/text
symbol. If the user calls the the resolver symbol instead, like "p
gnu_ifunc_resolver(0)", then we'll find the regular mst_data symbol
for "gnu_ifunc_resolver", and we'll call the resolver function as just
another regular function.
With this, most of the GNU ifunc tests added by a later patch pass on
PPC64 too. The following bfd patch fixes the remaining issues.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_location_function): Handle
mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* c-exp.y (variable production): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
* elfread.c (elf_symtab_read): Give data symbols with
BSF_GNU_INDIRECT_FUNCTION set mst_data_gnu_ifunc type.
(elf_rel_plt_read): Update comment.
* linespec.c (convert_linespec_to_sals): Handle
mst_data_gnu_ifunc.
(minsym_found): Handle mst_data_gnu_ifunc.

* symtab.h (minimal_symbol_type) <mst_text_gnu_ifunc>: Update
comment.
<mst_data_gnu_ifunc>: New enumerator.
When we're stepping (with "step"), we want to skip trampoline-like
functions automatically, including GNU ifunc resolvers. That is done
by infrun.c calling into:
in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code
-> svr4_in_dynsym_resolve_code
-> in_gnu_ifunc_stub
A problem here is that if there's a regular text symbol at the same
address as the ifunc symbol, the minimal symbol lookup in
in_gnu_ifunc_stub may miss the GNU ifunc symbol:
(...)
41: 000000000000071a 53 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc_resolver
(...)
50: 000000000000071a 53 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc
(...)
This causes this FAIL in the tests added later in the series:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: resolver received HWCAP
set step-mode on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: set step-mode on
step
0x00007ffff7bd371a in gnu_ifunc_resolver () from build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc/gnu-ifunc-lib-1-0-0.so
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: step
Above, GDB simply thought that it stepped into a regular function, so
it stopped stepping, while it should have continued stepping past the
resolver.
The fix is to teach minimal symbol lookup to prefer GNU ifunc symbols
if desired.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section_1): Rename to ...
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): ... this. Replace

Handle it.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Delete old implementation.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc): Adjust.
(in_gnu_ifunc_stub): Prefer GNU ifunc symbols.
(lookup_solib_trampoline_symbol_by_pc): Adjust.
* minsyms.h (lookup_msym_prefer): New enum.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Replace 'want_trampoline'
parameter by a lookup_msym_prefer parameter.
elf_gnu_ifunc_record_cache doesn't ever record anything on PPC64
(tested on gcc110 on the compile farm, CentOS 7.4, ELFv1), because
that expects to find PLT symbols in the .plt section, while there we
get:
(gdb) info symbol 'gnu_ifunc@plt'
gnu_ifunc@plt in section .text
^^^^^
I guess that may be related to the comment in ppc-linux-tdep.c that
says "For secure PLT, stub is in .text".
In any case, this commit fixes the issue by making the function look
at the symbol name instead of at the section.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* elfread.c (elf_gnu_ifunc_record_cache): Check if the symbol name
ends in "@plt" instead of looking at the symbol's section.
I need to make the ifunc resolving code in elfread.c skip the target
function's prologue like minsym_found does. I thought of factoring
that out to a separate function, but turns out there's already a
comment in find_function_start_sal that says that should agree with
minsym_found...
Instead of making sure the code agrees with a comment, factor out the
common code to a separate function and use it from both places.
Note that the current find_function_start_sal does a bit more than
minsym_found's equivalent (the "We always should ..." bit), though
that's probably a latent bug.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linespec.c (minsym_found): Use find_function_start_sal CORE_ADDR
overload.
* symtab.c (find_function_start_sal(CORE_ADDR, obj_section *,bool)):
New, factored out from ...
(find_function_start_sal(symbol *, int)): ... this. Reimplement
and use bool.
* symtab.h (find_function_start_sal(CORE_ADDR, obj_section *,bool)):
New.
(find_function_start_sal(symbol *, int)): Change boolean parameter
type to bool.
Not used anywhere any longer.
If this is ever reinstated, note that this case:
cache_pc_function_is_gnu_ifunc = TYPE_GNU_IFUNC (SYMBOL_TYPE (f));
was incorrect in that regular symbols never have type marked as GNU
ifunc type, only minimal symbols. At some point I had some fix that
checking the matching minsym here. But in the end I ended up just
eliminating need for this function, so that fix was not necessary.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* blockframe.c (cache_pc_function_is_gnu_ifunc): Delete. Remove
all references.
(find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc): Rename to ...
(find_pc_partial_function): ... this, and remove references to
'is_gnu_ifunc_p'.
(find_pc_partial_function): Delete old implementation.
* symtab.h (find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc): Delete.
Without this patch, some of the tests added to gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp
by a following patch fail like so:
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: break gnu_ifunc
FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: info breakpoints

FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: after resolving: info breakpoints
All of them trigger iff:
- you have debug info for the ifunc resolver.
- the resolver and the user-visible symbol have the same name.
If you have an ifunc that has a resolver with the same name as the
user visible symbol, debug info for the resolver masks out the ifunc
minsym. When you set a breakpoint by name on the user visible symbol,
GDB finds the DWARF symbol for the resolver, and thinking that it's a
regular function, sets a breakpoint location past its prologue.
Like so, location 1.2, before the ifunc is resolved by the inferior:
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 2 at 0x7ffff7bd36ea (2 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x00007ffff7bd36ea <gnu_ifunc>
1.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34
(gdb)
And like so, location 2.2, if you set the breakpoint after the ifunc
is resolved by the inferior (to "final"):
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 5 at 0x400757 (2 locations)
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
2.1 y 0x000000000040075a in final at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-resd.c:21
2.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34
(gdb)
I don't think this is right because when users set a breakpoint at an
ifunc, they don't care about debugging the resolver. Instead what you
should is a single location for the ifunc in the first case, and a
single location of the ifunc target in the second case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linespec.c (struct bound_minimal_symbol_search_key): New.
(convert_linespec_to_sals): Sort minimal symbols earlier. Don't
skip first line if we found a GNU ifunc minimal symbol by name.
(compare_msymbols): Change parameters to work with a destructured
lhs minsym.
(compare_msymbols_for_qsort, compare_msymbols_for_bsearch): New
functions.
This fixes setting breakpoints on ifunc functions by name after the
ifunc has already been resolved.
In that case, if you have debug info for the ifunc resolver, without
the fix, then gdb puts a breakpoint past the prologue of the resolver,
instead of setting a breakpoint at the ifunc target:
break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 4 at 0x7ffff7bd36f2: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c, line 34.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 13300) exited normally]
(gdb)
above we should have stopped at "final", but didn't because we never
resolved the ifunc to the final location.
If you don't have debug info for the resolver, GDB manages to resolve
the ifunc target, but, it should be setting a breakpoint after the
prologue of the final function, and instead what you get is that GDB
sets a breakpoint on the first address of the target function. With
the gnu-ifunc.exp tests added by a later patch, we get, without the
fix:
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 4 at 0x400753
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 4, final (arg=1) at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c:20
20 {
vs, fixed:
(gdb) break gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 4 at 0x40075a: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c, line 21.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 4, final (arg=2) at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-final.c:21
21 return arg + 1;
(gdb)
Fix the problems above by moving the ifunc target resolving to
linespec.c, before we skip a function's prologue. We need to save
something in the sal, so that set_breakpoint_location_function knows
that it needs to create a bp_gnu_ifunc_resolver bp_location. Might as
well just save a pointer to the minsym.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_location_function): Don't resolve
ifunc targets here. Instead, if we have an ifunc minsym, use its
address/name.
(add_location_to_breakpoint): Store the minsym and the objfile in
the breakpoint location.
* breakpoint.h (bp_location) <msymbol, objfile>: New fields.
* linespec.c (minsym_found): Resolve GNU ifunc targets here.
Record the minsym in the sal.
* symtab.h (symtab_and_line) <msymbol>: New field.
The next patch will add a call to elf_gnu_ifunc_resolve_by_got that
trips on a latent buglet -- the function is writing to its output
parameter even if the address wasn't found, confusing the caller. The
function's intro comment says:
/* Try to find the target resolved function entry address of a STT_GNU_IFUNC
function NAME. If the address is found it is stored to *ADDR_P (if ADDR_P
is not NULL) and the function returns 1. It returns 0 otherwise.
So fix the function accordingly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* elfread.c (elf_gnu_ifunc_resolve_by_got): Don't write to *ADDR_P
unless we actually resolved the ifunc.
If the GNU ifunc resolver has the same name as the user visible
symbol, and the resolver has debug info, then the DWARF info for the
resolver masks the ifunc minsym. In that scenario, if you try calling
the ifunc from GDB, you call the resolver instead. With the
gnu-ifunc.exp testcase added in a following patch, you'd see:
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc (3)
$1 = (int (*)(int)) 0x400753 <final>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: p gnu_ifunc (3)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is, we called the ifunc resolver manually, which returned a
pointer to the ifunc target function ("final"). The "final" symbol is
the function that GDB should have called automatically,
~~~~~~~~~~~~
int
final (int arg)
{
return arg + 1;
}
~~~~~~~~~
which is what happens if you don't have debug info for the resolver:
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc (3)
$1 = 4
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=0: resolved_debug=1: p gnu_ifunc (3)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
or if the resolver's symbol has a different name from the ifunc (as is
the case with modern uses of ifunc via __attribute__ ifunc, such as
glibc uses):
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc (3)
$1 = 4
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: p gnu_ifunc (3)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in which case after this patch, you can still call the resolver
directly if you want:
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc_resolver (3)
$1 = (int (*)(int)) 0x400753 <final>
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* c-exp.y (variable production): Prefer ifunc minsyms over
regular function symbols.
* symtab.c (find_gnu_ifunc): New function.
* minsyms.h (lookup_msym_prefer): New enum.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Replace 'want_trampoline'
parameter by a lookup_msym_prefer parameter.
* symtab.h (find_gnu_ifunc): New declaration.
After the previous patch, on Fedora 27 (glibc 2.26), if you try
calling strlen in the inferior, you now get:
(top-gdb) p strlen ("hello")
'__strlen_avx2' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
This is correct, because __strlen_avx2 is written in assembly.
We can improve on this though -- if the final ifunc resolved/target
function has no debug info, but the ifunc _resolver_ does have debug
info, we can try extracting the final function's type from the type
that the resolver returns. E.g.,:
typedef size_t (*strlen_t) (const char*);
size_t my_strlen (const char *) { /* some implementation */ }
strlen_t strlen_resolver (unsigned long hwcap) { return my_strlen; }
extern size_t strlen (const char *s);
__typeof (strlen) strlen __attribute__ ((ifunc ("strlen_resolver")));
In the strlen example above, the resolver returns strlen_t, which is a
typedef for pointer to a function that returns size_t. "strlen_t" is
the type of both the user-visible "strlen", and of the the target
function that implements it.
This patch teaches GDB to extract that type.
This is done for actual inferior function calls (in infcall.c), and
for ptype (in eval_call). By the time we get to either of these
places, we've already lost the original symbol/minsym, and only have
values and types to work with. Hence the changes to c-exp.y and
evaluate_var_msym_value, to ensure that we propagate the ifunc
minsymbol's info.
The change to make ifunc symbols have no/unknown return type exposes a
latent problem -- gdb.compile/compile-ifunc.exp calls a no-debug-info
function, but we did not warn about it. The test is fixed by this
commit too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* blockframe.c (find_gnu_ifunc_target_type): New function.

2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.compile/compile-ifunc.exp: Also expect "function has unknown

Currently, on Fedora 27 (glibc 2.26), if you try to call strlen in the
inferior you get:
(gdb) p strlen ("hello")
$1 = (size_t (*)(const char *)) 0x7ffff554aac0 <__strlen_avx2>
strlen is an ifunc function, and what we see above is the result of
calling the ifunc resolver in the inferior. That returns a pointer to
the actual target function that implements strlen on my machine. GDB
should have turned around and called the resolver automatically
without the user noticing.
This is was caused by commit:
commit bf223d3e80
Date: Mon Aug 21 11:34:32 2017 +0100
Handle function aliases better (PR gdb/19487, errno printing)
which added the find_function_alias_target call to c-exp.y, to try to
find an alias with debug info for a minsym. For ifunc symbols, that
finds the ifunc's resolver if it has debug info (in the example it's
called "strlen_ifunc"), with the result that GDB calls that as a
regular function.
After this commit, we get now get:
(top-gdb) p strlen ("hello")
'__strlen_avx2' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
Which is correct, because __strlen_avx2 is written in assembly.
That'll be improved in a following patch, though.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-04-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* c-exp.y (variable production): Skip finding an alias for ifunc
symbols.
Setting a breakpoint on an ifunc symbol after the ifunc has already
been resolved by the inferior should result in creating a breakpoint
location at the ifunc target. However, that's not what happens on
current Fedora:
(gdb) n
53 i = gnu_ifunc (1); /* break-at-call */
(gdb)
54 assert (i == 2);
(gdb) b gnu_ifunc
Breakpoint 2 at gnu-indirect-function resolver at 0x7ffff7bd36ee
(gdb) info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
2 STT_GNU_IFUNC resolver keep y 0x00007ffff7bd36ee <gnu_ifunc+4>
The problem is that elf_gnu_ifunc_resolve_by_got never manages to
resolve an ifunc target. The reason is that GDB never actually
creates the internal got.plt symbols:
(gdb) p 'gnu_ifunc@got.plt'
No symbol "gnu_ifunc@got.plt" in current context.
and this is because GDB expects that rela.plt has relocations for
.plt, while it actually has relocations for .got.plt:
Relocation section [10] '.rela.plt' for section [22] '.got.plt' at offset 0x570 contains 2 entries:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
0x0000000000601018 X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 000000000000000000 +0 __assert_fail
0x0000000000601020 X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 000000000000000000 +0 gnu_ifunc
Using an older system on the GCC compile farm (machine gcc15, an
x86-64 running Debian 6.0.8, with GNU ld 2.20.1), we see that it used
to be that we'd get a .rela.plt section for .plt:
Relocation section [ 9] '.rela.plt' for section [11] '.plt' at offset 0x578 contains 3 entries:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
0x0000000000600cc0 X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 000000000000000000 +0 __assert_fail

0x0000000000600cd0 X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 000000000000000000 +0 gnu_ifunc
Those offsets did point into .got.plt, as seen with objdump -h:
20 .got.plt 00000030 0000000000600ca8 0000000000600ca8 00000ca8 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
I also tested on gcc110 on the compile farm (PPC64 running CentOS
7.4.1708, with GNU ld 2.25.1), and there we see instead:
Relocation section [ 9] '.rela.plt' for section [23] '.plt' at offset 0x5d0 contains 4 entries:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
0x0000000010020148 PPC64_JMP_SLOT 000000000000000000 +0 __libc_start_main

0x0000000010020190 PPC64_JMP_SLOT 000000000000000000 +0 gnu_ifunc
But note that those offsets point into .plt, not .got.plt, as seen
with objdump -h:

This commit makes us support all the different combinations above.
With that addressed, we now get:
(gdb) p 'gnu_ifunc@got.plt'
$1 = (<text from jump slot in .got.plt, no debug info>) 0x400753 <final>

* elfread.c (elf_rel_plt_read): Look for relocations for .got.plt too.
Since f67c0c9171 ("Enable 'set print inferior-events' and improve
detach/fork/kill/exit messages"), when detaching a remote process, we
get, for detach against a remote target:
(gdb) detach
Detaching from program: ...., process 5388
Ending remote debugging.
[Inferior 1 (Thread 5388.5388) detached]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is incorrect, for it is printing a thread id as string while we
should be printing the process id instead. I.e., either one of:
[Inferior 1 (process 5388) detached]
[Inferior 1 (Remote target) detached]
depending on remote stub support for the multi-process extensions.
Similarly, after killing a process, we're printing thread ids while we
should be printing process ids. E.g., on native GNU/Linux:
(gdb) k
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
[Inferior 1 (Thread 0x7ffff7faa8c0 (LWP 30721)) has been killed]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
while it should have been:
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) has been killed]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There's a wording inconsistency between detach and kill:
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) has been killed]
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) detached]
Given we were already saying "detached" instead of "has been
detached", and we used to say just "exited", and given that the "has
been" doesn't really add any information, this commit changes the
message to just "killed":
[Inferior 1 (process 30721) killed]

This patch aims to turn 'set print inferior-events' always on, and do
some cleanup on the messages printed by GDB when various inferior
events happen (attach, detach, fork, kill, exit).
To make sure that the patch is correct, I've tested it with a handful
of combinations of 'set follow-fork-mode', 'set detach-on-fork' and
'set print inferior-events'. In the end, I decided to make my
hand-made test into an official testcase. More on that below.
Using the following program as an example:
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
fork ();
return 0;
}
We see the following outputs from the patched GDB:
- With 'set print inferior-events on':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Detaching after fork from child process 27749]
[Inferior 1 (process 27745) exited normally]
(gdb)
- With 'set print inferior-events off':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Inferior 1 (process 27823) exited normally]
(gdb)
Comparing this against an unpatched GDB:
- With 'set print inferior-events off' and 'set follow-fork-mode
child':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Inferior 2 (process 5993) exited normally]
(gdb)
Compare this against an unpatched GDB:
(unpatched-gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[New process 5702]
[Inferior 2 (process 5702) exited normally]
(unpatched-gdb)
It is possible to notice that, in this scenario, the patched GDB
will lose the '[New process %d]' message.
- With 'set print inferior-events on', 'set follow-fork-mode child'
and 'set detach-on-fork on':
(gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 27905 fork to child process 27909]
[New inferior 2 (process 27909)]
[Detaching after fork from parent process 27905]
[Inferior 1 (process 27905) detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 27909) exited normally]
(gdb)
Compare this output with an unpatched GDB, using the same settings:
(unpatched-gdb) r
Starting program: a.out
[New inferior 28033]
[Inferior 28029 detached]
[New process 28033]
[Inferior 2 (process 28033) exited normally]
[Inferior 28033 exited]
(unpatched-gdb)
As can be seen above, I've also made a few modifications to messages
that are printed when 'set print inferior-events' is on. For example,
a few of the messages did not contain the '[' and ']' as
prefix/suffix, which led to a few inconsistencies like:
Attaching after process 22995 fork to child process 22999.
[New inferior 22999]
Detaching after fork from child process 22999.
[Inferior 22995 detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 22999) exited normally]
So I took the opportunity and included the square brackets where
applicable. I have also made the existing messages more uniform, by
always printing "Inferior %d (process %d)..." where applicable. This
makes it easier to identify the inferior number and the PID number
from the messages.
As suggested by Pedro, the "[Inferior %d exited]" message from
'exit_inferior' has been removed, because it got duplicated when
'inferior-events' is on. I'm also using the
'add_{thread,inferior}_silent' versions (instead of their verbose
counterparts) on some locations, also to avoid duplicated messages.
For example, a patched GDB with 'set print inferior-events on', 'set
detach-on-fork on' and 'set follow-fork-mode child', but using
'add_thread', would print:
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 25088 fork to child process 25092.]
[New inferior 25092] <--- duplicated
[Detaching after fork from child process 25092.]
[Inferior 25088 detached]
[New process 25092] <--- duplicated
[Inferior 2 (process 25092) exited normally]
But if we use 'add_thread_silent' (with the same configuration as
before):
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 31606 fork to child process 31610]
[New inferior 2 (process 31610)]
[Detaching after fork from parent process 31606]
[Inferior 1 (process 31606) detached]
[Inferior 2 (process 31610) exited normally]
As for the tests, the configuration options being exercised are:
- follow-fork-mode: child/parent
- detach-on-fork: on/off
- print inferior-events: on/off
It was also necessary to perform adjustments on several testcases,
because the expected messages changed considerably.
Built and regtested on BuildBot, without regressions.

As reported in PR 23104, -ldl doesn't work on FreeBSD. Replace it with
shlib_load, which adds the right flags for dynamic library loading based
on the current target platform.
The test still passes on Linux, and should now pass on FreeBSD, though I
did not test personally.

I noticed that cli_ui_out::out_field_fmt is only used by a single
caller, and it can easily be replaced by fputs_filtered. So, this
patch removes it.

This removes a cleanup from scm-frame.c, replacing it with
unique_xmalloc_ptr and a new scope. I believe this also fixes a
latent bug involving calling do_cleanups twice for a single cleanup.
Regression tested using the gdb.guile test suite on x86-64 Fedora 26.

Problems:
1. linking -dl lib on FreeBSD platform
2. backtrace from ld-elf shows r_debug_state() instead of _dl_debug_state()
Cause:
1. There is no dl library on FreeBSD platform test has to ignore linking "-ldl"
2. The stop due to a shared library event shows backtrace frame #0
function as r_debug_state()

As Rajendra SY reported at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-04/msg00399.html>, several
attach-related tests are failing on FreeBSD. The "attach" command
errors with "Couldn't get registers: Device busy".
When the "attach" command is executed, it calls target_attach ->
inf_ptrace_attach, which just does the ptrace(PT_ATTACH), it does not
wait for the child to stop with SIGSTOP. Afterwards, the command is
complete and we go back to the event loop. The event loop wakes up
and we end up in target_wait -> fbsd_wait, and handle the SIGSTOP
stop.
At the end of execute_command, though, before going back to the event
loop, we check if the frame language changed via
check_frame_language_change(). That reads the current PC, which is
what leads to the registers read that fails.
The problem is that we fail to mark the attached-to thread as
executing between the initial attach, and the subsequent target_wait.
Until we see the thread stop with SIGSTOP, we shouldn't try to read
registers off of it. I guess there may a timing issue here - if
you're "lucky", the thread may stop before gdb reads its registers,
masking the problem.
With that fixed, check_frame_language_change() becomes a nop until the
thread is marked not-executing again, after target_wait is called and
we go through handle_inferior_event -> normal_stop.
We haven't seen the problem on Linux because there, the target_attach
implementation waits for the thread to stop before returning. Still,
that's supposedly hidden from the core, since the Linux target, like
most targets, is a '!to_attach_no_wait' target.
This fixes:
