The current implementation is forgetting to populate the thread list
when attaching to the process. This results in an incomplete list of
threads when debugging a threaded program.
Unfortunately, as the added comments hints, there appears to be
no way of getting the list of threads via ptrace, other than by
spawning the "ps" command, and parsing its output. Not great,
but it appears to be the best we can do.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_add_threads_after_attach): New function.
(lynx_attach): Remove call to add_thread. Add call to
lynx_add_threads_after_attach instead.
This patch makes GDBserver support multi-process + biarch.
Currently, if you're debugging more than one process at once with a
single gdbserver (in extended-remote mode), then all processes must
have the same architecture (e.g., 64-bit vs 32-bit). Otherwise, you
see this:

... etc, etc ...
Even though the process was running a 32-bit program, GDBserver sent
back to GDB a register set in 64-bit layout.
A patch (http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-11/msg00228.html) a
while ago made GDB track a target_gdbarch per inferior, and as
consequence, fetch a target description per-inferior. This patch is
the GDBserver counterpart, that makes GDBserver keep track of each
process'es XML target description and register layout. So in the
example above, GDBserver will send the correct register set in 32-bit
layout to GDB.
A new "struct target_desc" object (tdesc for short) is added, that
holds the target description and register layout information about
each process. Each `struct process_info' holds a pointer to a target
description. The regcache also gains a pointer to a target
description, mainly for convenience, and parallel with GDB (and
possible future support for programs that flip processor modes).
The low target's arch_setup routines are responsible for setting the
process'es correct tdesc. This isn't that much different to how
things were done before, except that instead of detecting the inferior
process'es architecture and calling the corresponding
init_registers_FOO routine, which would change the regcache layout
globals and recreate the threads' regcaches, the regcache.c globals
are gone, and the init_registers_$BAR routines now each initialize a
separate global struct target_desc object (one for each arch variant
GDBserver supports), and so all the init_registers_$BAR routines that
are built into GDBserver are called early at GDBserver startup time
(similarly to how GDB handles its built-in target descriptions), and
then the arch_setup routine is responsible for making
process_info->tdesc point to one of these target description globals.
The regcache module is all parameterized to get the regcache's layout
from the tdesc object instead of the old register_bytes, etc. globals.
The threads' regcaches are now created lazily. The old scheme where
we created each of them when we added a new thread doesn't work
anymore, because we add the main thread/lwp before we see it stop for
the first time, and it is only when we see the thread stop for the
first time that we have a chance of determining the inferior's
architecture (through the_low_target.arch_setup). Therefore when we
add the main thread we don't know which architecture/tdesc its
regcache should have.
This patch makes the gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp test now pass against
(extended-remote) GDBserver. It currently fails, without this patch.
The IPA also uses the regcache, so it gains a new global struct
target_desc pointer, which points at the description of the process it
is loaded in.
Re. the linux-low.c & friends changes. Since the register map
etc. may differ between processes (64-bit vs 32-bit) etc., the
linux_target_ops num_regs, regmap and regset_bitmap data fields are no
longer sufficient. A new method is added in their place that returns
a pointer to a new struct that includes all info linux-low.c needs to
access registers of the current inferior.
The patch/discussion that originally introduced
linux-low.c:disabled_regsets mentions that the disabled_regsets set
may be different per mode (in a biarch setup), and indeed that is
cleared whenever we start a new (first) inferior, so that global is
moved as well behind the new `struct regs_info'.
On the x86 side:
I simply replaced the i387-fp.c:num_xmm_registers global with a check
for 64-bit or 32-bit process, which is equivalent to how the global
was set. This avoided coming up with some more general mechanism that
would work for all targets that use this module (GNU/Linux, Windows,
etc.).

On ppc-lynx178, resuming the execution of a program after hitting
a breakpoint sometimes triggers a spurious SIG61 event:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Program received signal SIG61, Real-time event 61.
[Switching to Thread 39]
0x10002324 in a_test.task1 (<_task>=0x3ffff774) at a_test.adb:30
30 select -- Task 1
From this point on, continuing again lets the signal kill the program.
Using "signal 0" or configuring GDB to discard the signal does not
help either, as the program immediately reports the same signal again.
What happens is the following:
- GDB sends a single-step order to gdbserver: $vCont;s:31
This tells GDBserver to do a step using thread 0x31=49.
GDBserver does the step, and thread 49 receives the SIGTRAP
indicating that the step has finished.
- GDB then sends a "continue", but this time does not specify
which thread to continue: $vCont;c
GDBserver uses an arbitrary thread's ptid to resume the program's
execution (the current_inferior's ptid was chosen for that).
See lynx-low.c:lynx_resume:
if (ptid_equal (ptid, minus_one_ptid))
ptid = thread_to_gdb_id (current_inferior);
So far on all LynxOS platforms, this has been good enough. But
not so on LynxOS 178. If the ptid used to resume the execution
is not the same as the thread that did the step, we get the weird
signal.
This patch fixes the problem by saving the ptid of the thread
that last caused an event, received during a call to waitpid.
The ptid is saved in per-process private data.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (struct process_info_private): New type.
(lynx_add_process): New function.
(lynx_create_inferior, lynx_attach): Replace calls to
add_process by calls to lynx_add_process.
(lynx_resume): If PTID is null, then try using
current_process()->private->last_wait_event_ptid.
Add comments.
(lynx_clear_inferiors): Delete. The contents of that function
has been inlined in lynx_mourn;
(lynx_wait_1): Save the ptid in the process's private data.
(lynx_mourn): Free the process' private data. Replace call
to lynx_clear_inferiors by call to clear_inferiors.
... following Pedro's advice of using a temporary macro.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (ptrace_request_to_str): Define a temporary
macro and use it to simplify this function's implementation.
Before this patch, the ptid passed to lynx_resume was completely
ignored, and we used the current_inferior. This resulted in trying
to resume the inferior execution using the wrong ptid after having
received a thread create/exit event, because the inferior_ptid
was still set to the ptid prior to receiving the signal.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_resume): Use the resume_info parameter
to determine the ptid for the lynx_ptrace call, unless
it is equal to minus_one_ptid, in which case we use the
ptid of the current_inferior.
(lynx_wait_1): After having received a thread create/exit
event, resume the inferior's execution using the signaling
thread's ptid, rather than the old ptid.
Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
We use this ptrace request when handling SIGTRAP signals,
and without this change, the debug trances show:
PTRACE (<unknown-request>, ...
This patch fixes this.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (ptrace_request_to_str): Add handling for
PTRACE_GETTRACESIG.
LynxOS 178 does not define this macro.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (ptrace_request_to_str): Do not handle
PTRACE_GETTHREADLIST if this macro does not exist.

Some of the PTRACE_ macros/values were removed in LynxOS 5.x.
Since we have not use them so far, the chances that we will use them
one day are very small. So I decided to delete them.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (ptrace_request_to_str): Remove handling for
request values that have been removed in LynxOS 5.x.
This is one of the changes needed in order to build gdbserver on
LynxOS 5.x.
Really interesting: On LynxOS 4.x, there is a #warning when sys/ptrace.h
is used (explaining that ptrace.h will be used instead), whereas this
file was removed from LynxOS 5.x. The contents of sys/ptrace.h on 4.x
(or at least the meat of it):
#if defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__GNUG__)
#if !defined(__NO_INCLUDE_WARN__)
#warning Using <ptrace.h> instead of <sys/ptrace.h>
#endif /* defined(__NO_INCLUDE_WARN__) */
#endif /* defined(__GNUC__) || defined(__GNUG__) */
#include <ptrace.h>
The fix I went for, for now, is to just include <sys/ptrace.h>
unconditionally. I could have done some configury, but we already
have to build with -D__NO_INCLUDE_WARN__ to avoid the warnings
anyway, and that's unvoidable, due to system includes themselves
including the "wrong" header file.
Since <sys/ptrace.h> seems to be the choice that was made for LynxOS,
and since it works to include it on LynxOS 4.x, I think that's the simplest
solution.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c, lynx-ppc-low.c: Include <sys/ptrace.h> instead of
<ptrace.h>
This patch adds support for powerpc-lynxos.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* gdbserver/lynx-low.c, gdbserver/lynx-low.h,
gdbserver/lynx-ppc-low.c: New files.
* Makefile.in (lynx_low_h): New variable.
(lynx-low.o, lynx-ppc-low.o): New rules.
* configure.ac: On LynxOS, link with -lnetinet.
* configure.srv: Add handling of powerpc-*-lynxos* targets.
* configure: regenerate.
