Copy the .dir-locls.el file from gdb/ to gdbserver/ and gdbsupport/ so
that we get the GNU/GDB style when editing these files in Emacs.
I initially wanted to remove the (c-mode . ((mode . c++))) that
switches c-mode files into c++-mode as we store C++ code in *.cc files
in the gdbserver/ directory, unlike gdb/ where we use *.c, however, I
was forgetting about the header files - we still use *.h for our C++
header files, so for now I left the settings in place to open all C
files in c++-mode.
We now have three copies of this file, which are all identical. It
would be nice if we could remove this duplication, however, for now we
haven't found a good way to do this.
Some options considered were:
1. Use symlinks to only have one copy of the file. This was
rejected as not all targets support symlinks in the way.
2. Have two of the .dir-locals.el files contain some mechanism by
which the third copy of the file is sourced. Though this would, in
theory, be possible, it would involve some advanced Emacs scripting,
would be fragile, and a maintenance burdon.
3. Move the .dir-locals up into top level src/ directory, then use
Emacs dir-locals directory pattern matching to only apply the rules
for the three directories we care about. The problem is that each
directory has to be listed separately, so we still end up having to
duplicate all the rules.
In the end, it was decided that having three copies of the file,
though not ideal, is probably easiest for now. This was all discussed
in this mailing list thread:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-03/msg00024.html
The copyright date in the new files is left as for gdb/.dir-locals.el,
as the new files are a copy of the old, this is inline with this rule:

Presumably as a result of various changes over the last several months,
and - for some of them - with a generalization of logic in
match_mem_size() plus mirroring of this generalization into the
broadcast handling logic of check_VecOperands(), various register-only
templates can be foled into their respective memory forms. This in
particular then also allows dropping a few more instances of IgnoreSize.
Even after commit dc2be329b9 ("i386: Only check suffix in instruction
mnemonic"), by which many of its uses have become unnecessary (some were
unnecessary even before), IgnoreSize is still used for various slightly
different purposes:
- to suppress emission of an operand size prefix,
- in Intel syntax mode to zap "derived" suffixes in certain cases and to
skip certain checks of remaining "derived" suffixes,
- to suppress ambiguous operand size / missing suffix diagnostics,
- for prefixes to suppress the "stand-alone ... prefix" warning.
Drop entirely unnecessary ones and where possible also replace instances
by the more focused (because of having just a single purpose) NoRex64.
To further restrict when IgnoreSize is needed, also generalize the logic
when to skip a template because of a present or derived L or Q suffix,
by skipping immediate operands. Additionally consider mask registers and
VecSIB there.
Note that for the time being the attribute needs to be kept in place on
MMX/SSE/etc insns (but not on VEX/EVEX encoded ones unless an operand
template of them allows for only non-SIMD-register actuals) allowing for
Dword operands - the logic when to emit a data size prefix would need
further adjustment first.
Note also that the memory forms of {,v}pinsrw get their permission for
an L or Q suffix dropped. I can only assume that it being this way was a
cut-and-paste mistake from the register forms, as the latter
specifically have NoRex64 set, and the {,v}pextrw counterparts don't
allow these suffixes either.
Convert VexW= again to their respective VexW* on lines touched anyway.
The Q and L suffix exclusion checks in match_template() ought to be
(kept) in sync as far as their FPU and SIMD aspects go. This was
already violated by only the Q one checking for active broadcast.
Convert the code such that there'll be only one instance of the logic,
the more that subsequently the logic is liable to need further
refinement / extension. (The alternative would be to drop all SIMD-ness
from the L part, but it is in principle possible to enable all sorts of
SIMD support with just a pre-386 CPU, via suitable .arch directives.)
As of commit dc2be329b9 ("i386: Only check suffix in instruction
mnemonic") these have been accepted even with "qword ptr" operand size
specifier, but in 64-bit mode they're now wrongly having a REX prefix
(with REX.W set) emitted in this case. These aren't Intel syntax
mnemonics, so rather than fixing code generation, let's simply reject
them. As a result, the Qword attribute can then be dropped, too.
When the template specifies any of the possible VexW settings, we can
use this instead of a separate NoRex64 to suppress the setting of REX_W.
Note that this ends up addressing an inconsistency between VEX- and
EVEX-encoded VEXTRACTPS, VPEXTR{B,W}, and VPINSR{B,W} - while the former
avoided setting VEX.W, the latter pointlessly set EVEX.W when there is a
64-bit GPR operand. Adjust the testcase to cover both cases.
Convert VexW= to their respective VexW* on lines touched anyway.
It is almost entirely redundant with Size64, and the sole case (CRC32)
where direct replacement isn't possible can easily be taken care of in
another way.
Since 16-bit addressing isn't allowed, Disp32 needs to be forced; Disp16
fails to match the templates.
The SDM leaves open whether BNDC[LNU] with a GPR operand require an
operand size override; this aspect is therefore left untouched here.
For proper code generation in 16-bit mode (or to avoid the "same type of
prefix used twice" diagnostic there), IgnoreSize is needed on certain
templates allowing for just 32-(and maybe 64-)bit operands.
Beyond adding tests for the previously broken cases, also add ones for
the previously working cases where IgnoreSize is needed for the same
reason (leaving out MPX for now, as that'll require an assembler change
first). Some minor adjustments to tests get done such that re-use of the
same code for 16-bit code generation testing becomes easier.
Allowing 64-bit registers is misleading here: Elsewhere these get allowed
when there's no difference between either variant, because of 32-bit
destination registers having their upper halves zeroed in 64-bit mode.
Here, however, they're source registers, and hence specifying 64-bit
registers would lead to the ambiguity of whether the upper 32 bits
actually matter.
Additionally, for proper code generation in 16-bit mode, IgnoreSize is
needed on both.
And finally, just like for e.g. MONITOR/MWAIT, add variants with all
input registers explicitly specified.

This is because the gdbsupport configure script doesn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable. When $development
is unset, GDB_AC_SELFTEST defaults to enabling selftests. I don't think
the macro was written with this intention in mind, it just happens to be
that way.
So gdbsupport thinks selftests are enabled, while gdb thinks they are
disabled. gdbsupport compiles in code that calls selftests:: functions,
which are normally provided by gdb, but gdb doesn't provide them, hence
the undefined references.
Fix this by sourcing bfd/development.sh in gdbsupport/configure.ac, so
that the development variable is set.

This introduces a string cache on the per-BFD object, replacing the
macro and filename caches. Both of these caches just store strings,
so this consolidation by itself saves a little memory (about the size
of a bcache per objfile).
Then this patch switches some allocations on the objfile obstack to
use this bcache instead. This saves more space; and turns out to be a
bit faster as well.

In lib/fortran.exp, in the helper function fortran_int4, kind
parameter is expected to be printed as (kind=4) for the LLVM
Fortran compiler, Flang along with gfortran. And in the helper
function fortran_int8 kind parameter is expected to be printed
as (kind=8). But for the Flang compiler default kind is not
printed and non default kind is printed differently than gfortran
as below.
integer(kind=4) => integer
integer(kind=8) => integer*8
real(kind=4) => real
real(kind=8) => double precision
complex(kind=4) => complex

Earlier patch was incomplete and based on assumption that flang

Later it was realized that the way flang dumps this info is not
incorrect but different. And changes in gdb test framework are
finalized.

A customer reported a failure to unwind in a certain core dump. A
lengthy investigation showed that the problem came from the
interaction between the tailcall and inline frame sniffers.
Normally, the regular DWARF unwinder may discover a chain of tail
calls ending in the current frame. In this case, it sets a member on
the dwarf2_frame_cache object, so that a subsequent call into the
tailcall sniffer will create the tailcall frames.
However, in this scenario, what happened is that the DWARF unwinder
did find tailcall frames -- but then the PC of the first such frame
was recognized and claimed by the inline frame sniffer.
This then caused unwinding to go astray further up the stack.
This patch fixes the problem by arranging for the tailcall sniffer to
be called before the inline sniffer. This way, if a DWARF frame has
tailcall information, the tailcalls will always be processed first.
This is safe to do, because the tailcall sniffer can only claim a
frame if the previous frame did in fact find this information. (So,
for example, if no DWARF frame is ever found, then this sniffer will
never trigger.)
This patch also partially reverts:
commit 1ec56e88aa
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Nov 22 13:17:46 2013 +0000
Eliminate dwarf2_frame_cache recursion, don't unwind from the dwarf2 sniffer (move dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first elsewhere).
That patch moved the call to dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first out of
dwarf2_frame_cache, and into dwarf2_frame_prev_register. However, in
this situation, this is too late -- by the time
dwarf2_frame_prev_register is called, the frame in question is already
recognized by the inline frame sniffer.
Rather than fully revert that patch, though, this just arranges to
call dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first from dwarf2_frame_cache -- which is
called shortly after the DWARF frame sniffer succeeds, via
compute_frame_id.
I don't know how to write a test case for this.
gdb/ChangeLog
2020-03-03 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* dwarf2/frame.c (struct dwarf2_frame_cache)
<checked_tailcall_bottom, entry_cfa_sp_offset,
entry_cfa_sp_offset_p>: Remove members.
(dwarf2_frame_cache): Call dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first.
(dwarf2_frame_prev_register): Don't call
dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first.
(dwarf2_append_unwinders): Don't append tailcall unwinder.
* frame-unwind.c (add_unwinder): New fuction.
(frame_unwind_init): Use it. Add tailcall unwinder.
It looks like after doing last minute changes to Makefile.am in commit
06b3c5bdb ("gdbsupport: rename source files to .cc"), I forgot to
re-generate Makefile.in. This patch fixes it.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Re-generate.
