Nowadays, we select events to be reported to GDB in random, however
that is not enough when many GDBserver internal events (not reported
to GDB) are generated.
GDBserver pulls all events out of kernel via waitpid, and leave them
pending. When goes through threads which have pending events,
GDBserver uses find_inferior to find the first thread which has
pending event, and consumes it. Note that find_inferior always
iterate threads in a fixed order. If multiple threads keep hitting
GDBserver breakpoints, range stepping with single-step breakpoint for
example, threads in the head of the thread list are more likely to be
processed and threads in the tail are starved. This causes some timeout
fails in gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp when range stepping is
enabled on arm-linux.
This patch fixes this issue by randomly selecting pending events. It
adds a new function find_inferior_in_random, which iterates threads
which have pending events randomly.

Currently GDB never sends more than one action per vCont packet, when
connected in non-stop mode. A follow up patch will change that, and
it exposed a gdbserver problem with the vCont handling.
For example, this in non-stop mode:
=> vCont;s:p1.1;c
<= OK
Should be equivalent to:
=> vCont;s:p1.1
<= OK
=> vCont;c
<= OK
But gdbserver currently doesn't handle this. In the latter case,
"vCont;c" makes gdbserver clobber the previous step request. This
patch fixes that.
Note the server side must ignore resume actions for the thread that
has a pending %Stopped notification (and any other threads with events
pending), until GDB acks the notification with vStopped. Otherwise,
e.g., the following case is mishandled:
#1 => g (or any other packet)
#2 <= [registers]
#3 <= %Stopped T05 thread:p1.2
#4 => vCont s:p1.1;c
#5 <= OK
Above, the server must not resume thread p1.2 when it processes the
vCont. GDB can't know that p1.2 stopped until it acks the %Stopped
notification. (Otherwise it wouldn't send a default "c" action.)
(The vCont documentation already specifies this.)
Finally, special care must also be given to handling fork/vfork
events. A (v)fork event actually tells us that two processes stopped
-- the parent and the child. Until we follow the fork, we must not
resume the child. Therefore, if we have a pending fork follow, we
must not send a global wildcard resume action (vCont;c). We can still
send process-wide wildcards though.
(The comments above will be added as code comments to gdb in a follow
up patch.)

This patch fixes imbalanced lwp_suspend/unsuspend calls caused by the
premature choosing of another event for fairness.
select_event_lwp would switch the event before a call to
unsuspend_all_lwps, thus it would be called with the wrong event.
This caused an assertion failure: unsuspend LWP xx, suspended=-1 when
testing gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp with ARM range stepping in
GDBServer.
This patch moves the switch of event after the unsuspend/unstop calls.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 ARMv7 and x86.
With gdbserver-native.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Move event switch after unsuspend_lwps.
gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit. However, it
currently does. For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.
This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html
Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
image are set to the default action in the new process
image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
in the new process image (see <signal.h>).
And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.
In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

This patch is to teach GDBserver using software single step to handle
vCont;s. Simply speaking, if the thread's resume request is resume_step,
install reinsert breakpoint at the next pcs when GDBserver is about to
resume threads. These reinsert breakpoints of a thread are removed,
when GDBserver gets an event from that thread and reports it back to
GDB.

Nowadays, we only enqueue signal when we leave thread pending in
linux_resume_one_thread. If lwp->resume->sig isn't zero (GDB wants
to resume with signal), we pass lwp->resume->sig to
linux_resume_one_lwp.
In order to reduce the difference between resuming thread with signal
and proceeding thread with signal, when we resume thread, we can
enqueue signal too, and proceed thread. The signal will be consumed in
linux_resume_one_lwp_throw from lwp->pending_signals.

This patch makes reinsert_breakpoint thread specific, which means we
insert and remove reinsert_breakpoint breakpoints for a specific
thread. This motivation of this change is that I'll use
reinsert_breakpoint for vCont;s on software single step target, so that
GDBserver may insert one reinsert_breakpoint for one thread doing
step-over, and insert one reinsert_breakpoint for another thread doing
vCont;s. After the operation of one thread is finished, GDBserver must
remove reinsert_breakpoint for that thread only.
On the other hand, reinsert_breakpoint is used for step-over nowadays.
GDBserver inserts reinsert_breakpoint, and wait only from the thread
doing step-over. After the step-over is done, GDBserver removes the
reinsert_breakpoint. If there is still any threads need step-over, do
the same again until all threads are finished step-over. In other words,
reinsert_breakpoint is globally thread specific, but in an implicit way.
It is natural to make it explicitly thread specific.

This commit fixes detaching on Linux when some thread exits the whole
thread group (process) just while we're detaching.
On Linux, a ptracer must detach from each LWP individually, with
PTRACE_DETACH. Since PTRACE_DETACH sets the thread running free, if
one of the already-detached threads causes the whole thread group to
exit (e.g., simply calls exit), the kernel force-kills the other
threads in the group, making them zombie, just as we're still
detaching them. Since PTRACE_DETACH against a zombie thread fails
with ESRCH, and gdb/gdbserver are not expecting this, the detach fails
with an error like: "Can't detach process: No such process.".
This patch detects this detach failure as normal, and instead of
erroring out, reaps the now-dead thread.
New test included, that exercises several different scenarios that
cause GDB/GDBserver to error out when it should not.
Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux with {unix, native-gdbserver,
native-extended-gdbserver}
Note: without the previous fix, the "single-process + continue"
variant of the new test would fail with:

When a thread is doing step-over with reinsert breakpoint, and the
instruction executed is a syscall doing vfork, both parent and child
share the memory, so the reinsert breakpoint in the space is visible
to both of them. Also, removing the reinsert breakpoints from the
child will effectively remove them from the parent. We should
carefully manipulate reinsert breakpoints for both processes.
What we are doing here is that
- uninsert reinsert breakpoints from the parent before cloning the
breakpoint list. We use "uninsert" instead of "remove", because
we need to "reinsert" them back after vfork is done. In fact,
"uninsert" removes them from both child and parent process space.
- reinsert breakpoints in parent process are still copied to child's
breakpoint list,
- remove them from child's breakpoint list as what we did for fork,
at this point, reinsert breakpoints are removed from the child and
the parent, but they are still tracked by the parent's breakpoint
list,
- once vfork is done, "reinsert" them back to the parent,

which is already exited, and GDBserver crashes because
'requested_child' is NULL. See gdbserver logs below,

Hi,
I happen to see that field need_step_over in struct lwp_info is only
used to print a debug info. need_step_over is set in linux_wait_1
when breakpoint_here is true, however, we check breakpoint_here too in
need_step_over_p and do the step over. I think we don't need field
need_step_over, and check breakpoint_here directly in need_step_over_p.
This field was added in this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00605.html and the code
wasn't changed much since then.
This patch is to remove it.
gdb/gdbserver:

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Update.
(need_step_over_p): Likewise.
When GDBserver steps over a breakpoint using software single step, it
enqueues the signal, single step and deliver the signal in the next
resume if step over is not needed. In this way, the program won't
receive the signal if the conditional breakpoint is set a branch to
self instruction, because the step over is always needed.
This patch removes the restriction that don't deliver the signal to
the inferior if we are trying to reinsert a breakpoint for software
single step and change the decision on resume vs. step-over when the
LWP has pending signals to deliver.
gdb/gdbserver:
2016-04-25 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-low.c (lwp_signal_can_be_delivered): Adjust.
(need_step_over_p): Return zero if the LWP has pending signals
can be delivered on software single step target.
GDBserver doesn't deliver signal when stepping over a breakpoint even
hardware single step is used. When GDBserver started to step over
(thread creation) breakpoint for mutlit-threaded debugging in 2002 [1],
GDBserver behaves this way.
This behavior gets trouble on conditional breakpoints on branch to
self instruction like this,
0x00000000004005b6 <+29>: jmp 0x4005b6 <main+29>
and I set breakpoint
$(gdb) break branch-to-self.c:43 if counter > 3
and the variable counter will be set to 5 in SIGALRM signal handler.
Since GDBserver keeps stepping over breakpoint, the SIGALRM can never
be dequeued and delivered to the inferior, so the program can't stop.
The test can be found in gdb.base/branch-to-self.exp.
GDBserver didn't deliver signal when stepping over a breakpoint because
a tracepoint is collected twice if GDBserver does so in the following
scenario, which can be reproduced by gdb.trace/signal.exp.
- program stops at tracepoint, and tracepoint is collected,
- gdbserver starts a step-over,
- a signal arrives, step-over is canceled, and signal should be passed,
- gdbserver starts a new step-over again, pass the signal as well,
- program stops at the entry of signal handler, step-over finished,
- gdbserver proceeds,
- program returns from the signal handler, again to the tracepoint,
and thus is collected again.
The spurious collection isn't that harmful, IMO, so it should be OK
to let GDBserver deliver signal when stepping over a breakpoint.

The enqueue and dequeue signals in linux_resume_one_lwp_throw use one
condition and its inverted one. This patch is to move the condition
into a function lwp_signal_can_be_delivered, so that the next patch can
change the condition in one place.

Today, we enqueue signal in linux_resume_one_lwp_throw, but set
variable 'signal' many lines below with the comment
/* Postpone any pending signal. It was enqueued above. */
signal = 0;
I feel difficult to associate code across many lines, and we should
move the code close to enqueue_pending_signal call. This is what
this patch does in general. After this change, variable 'signal'
is set to zero very early, so the 'signal' value in the following
debugging message makes no sense, so I remove it from the debugging
message. The function returns early if lwp->status_pending_p is
true, so 'signal' value in the debugging message doesn't matter,
AFAICS. Also, I move one debugging message several lines below to
make it close the real ptrace call,
if (debug_threads)
debug_printf ("Resuming lwp %ld (%s, signal %d, stop %s)\n",
lwpid_of (thread), step ? "step" : "continue", signal,
lwp->stop_expected ? "expected" : "not expected");
so that the debugging message can reflect what GDBserver does. This
is a code refactor and only debugging messages are affected.

when GDBserver steps over a thread, other threads have been suspended,
the "stepping" thread may create new thread, but GDBserver doesn't set
it suspend count to 1. When GDBserver unsuspend threads, the child's
suspend count goes to -1, and the assert is triggered. In fact, GDBserver
has already taken care of suspend count of new thread when GDBserver is
suspending all threads except the one GDBserver wants to step over by
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00946.html
+ /* If we're suspending all threads, leave this one suspended

+ {
+ if (debug_threads)
+ debug_printf ("HEW: leaving child suspended\n");
+ child_lwp->suspended = 1;
+ }
but that is not enough, because new thread is still can be spawned in
the thread which is being stepped over. This patch extends the
condition that GDBserver set child's suspend count to one if it is
suspending threads or stepping over the thread.

If gdbserver and IPA are using different tdesc, they will disagree
about 'R' trace packet size. This results in mangled traces.
To make sure they pick the same tdesc, gdbserver pokes the tdesc
(specified as an index in a target-specific list) into a global
variable in IPA. In theory, IPA could find out the tdesc on its
own, but that may be complex (in particular, I don't know how to
tell whether we have LAST_BREAK on s390 without messing with ptrace),
and we'd have to duplicate the logic.
Tested on i386 and x86_64. On i386, it fixes two FAILs in ftrace.exp.
On x86_64, these failures have been KFAILed - one of them works now,
but the other now fails due to an unrelated reason (ugh).

This unbreaks pending/delayed breakpoints handling, as well as
hardware watchpoints, on MIPS.
Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00681.html
The MIPS kernel reports SI_KERNEL for all kernel generated traps,
instead of TRAP_BRKPT / TRAP_HWBKPT, but GDB isn't aware of this.
Basically, this commit:
- Folds watchpoints logic into check_stopped_by_breakpoint, and
renames it to save_stop_reason.
- Adds GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT.
- Makes MIPS set both GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRPT and
GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT to SI_KERNEL. In save_stop_reason, we
handle the case of the same si_code returning true for both
TRAP_BRPT and TRAP_HWBKPT by looking at what the debug registers
say.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

This patch is the follow-up of
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00164.html to provide

Rebuild GDBserver with tilegx-linux-gcc. Not tested.
I think about pc in Tile-GX a little bit. Looks current Tile-GX
supports debugging 32-bit program (multi-arch), but PC is always
64-bit. See this thread
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-02/msg00113.html
and GDBserver reads PC as 64-bit through ptrace. However, if
the inferior is 32-bit, the PC in the target description and
regcache is 32-bit, so only 32-bit contents are sent back GDB.
Anyway, Tile-GX GDBserver may have some problems here, but this
patch doesn't change anything.

This patch in preparation for software single step support on ARM. It refactors
breakpoint_reinsert_addr into get_next_pcs so that multiple location can be
returned.
When software single stepping there can be multiple possible next addresses
because we're stepping over a conditional branch instruction, for example.
The operation get_next_pcs handles that by returning a vector of all the
possible next addresses.
Software breakpoints are installed at each location returned.

Since we now rely on PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE being available (added in
Linux 2.5.46), we're relying on NPTL.
This commit removes the support for older LinuxThreads, as well as the
workarounds for vendor 2.4 kernels with NPTL backported.
- Rely on tkill being available.
- Assume gdb doesn't get cancel signals.
- Remove code that checks the LinuxThreads restart and cancel signals
in the inferior.
- Assume that __WALL is available.
- Assume that non-leader threads report WIFEXITED.
- Thus, no longer need to send signal 0 to check whether threads are
still alive.
- Update comments throughout.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

This patch removes support for thread events if PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE is not
supported in GDBServer.
Before, on systems that did not support PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, both GDB and
GDBServer coordinated with libthread_db.so to insert breakpoints at magic
locations in libpthread.so, in order to break at thread creation and thread
death.
Simple software single stepping support was implemented to step over these
breakpoints in case there was no hardware single stepping support. However,
these simple software single stepping implementations were not fit for any other
use as discussed in :
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg01110.html
These too simple implementations conflict with ongoing work to make proper
implementations of software single stepping in GDBServer.
The problem is that if some implementations are correct and others are not and
only there for the thread magic breakpoint, we can't enable features based
solely software single step support since some would be broken.
To keep the incorrect implementations and allow the new proper ones at the same
time we would need to implement fallback code and it quickly becomes ugly and
confusing with multiple checks for legacy software single step or proper
software single step.
However, PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE was first introduced in Linux 2.5.46,
released in November 2002.
So I think it's reasonable to just remove support for kernels that don't support
PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, and sidestep the libthread_db breakpoints issues entirely.
This thread on the mailling list discusses the issue :

Before this patch there was only one call: can_hardware_single_step. Its
implementation was a check on breakpoint_reinsert_addr if NULL it assumed
that the target could hardware single step.
This patch prepares for the case where this is not true anymore.
In order to improve software single stepping in GDBServer the
breakpoint_reinsert_addr operation of targets that had a very simple
software implementation used only for stepping over thread creation events
will be removed.
This will create a case where a target does not support hardware single
step and has the operation breakpoint_reinsert_addr set to NULL, thus
can_hardware_single_step needs to be implemented another way.
A new target operation supports_hardware_single_step is introduced and is
to return true if the target does support such a feature, support for the
feature is manually hardcoded.
Note that the hardware single step support was enabled as per the current
behavior, I did not check if tile for example really has ptrace singlestep
support but since the current implementation assumed it had, I kept it
that way.

Without this patch, when doing a software single step, with for example
a conditional breakpoint, gdbserver would wrongly avance the pc of
breakpoint_len and skips an instruction.
This is due to gdbserver assuming that it's hardware single stepping.
When it resumes from the breakpoint address it expects the trap to be
caused by ptrace and if it's rather caused by a software breakpoint
it assumes this is a permanent breakpoint and that it needs to skip
over it.
However when software single stepping, this breakpoint is legitimate as
it's the reinsert breakpoint gdbserver has put in place to break at
the next instruction. Thus gdbserver wrongly advances the pc and skips
an instruction.
This patch fixes this behavior so that gdbserver checks if it is a
reinsert breakpoint from software single stepping. If it is it won't
advance the pc. And if there's no reinsert breakpoint there we assume
then that it's a permanent breakpoint and advance the pc.
Here's a commented log of what would happen before and after the fix on
gdbserver :
/* Here there is a conditional breakpoint at 0x10428 that needs to be
stepped over. */
Need step over [LWP 11204]? yes, found breakpoint at 0x10428
...
/* e7f001f0 is a breakpoint instruction on arm
Here gdbserver writes the software breakpoint we would like to hit
*/
Writing e7f001f0 to 0x0001042c in process 11204
...
Resuming lwp 11220 (continue, signal 0, stop not expected)
pending reinsert at 0x10428
stop pc is 00010428
continue from pc 0x10428
...
/* Here gdbserver hit the software breakpoint that was in place
for the step over */
stop pc is 0001042c
pc is 0x1042c
step-over for LWP 11220.11220 executed software breakpoint
Finished step over.
Could not find fast tracepoint jump at 0x10428 in list (reinserting).
/* Here gdbserver writes back the original instruction */
Writing e50b3008 to 0x0001042c in process 11220
Step-over finished.
Need step over [LWP 11220]? No
/* Here because gdbserver assumes this is a permenant breakpoint it advances
the pc of breakpoint_len, in this case 4 bytes, so we have just skipped
the instruction that was written back here :
Writing e50b3008 to 0x0001042c in process 11220
*/
stop pc is 00010430
pc is 0x10430
Need step over [LWP 11220]? No, no breakpoint found at 0x10430
Proceeding, no step-over needed
proceed_one_lwp: lwp 11220
stop pc is 00010430
This patch fixes this situation and we get the right behavior :
Writing e50b3008 to 0x0001042c in process 11245
Hit a gdbserver breakpoint.
Hit a gdbserver breakpoint.
Step-over finished.
proceeding all threads.
Need step over [LWP 11245]? No
stop pc is 0001042c
pc is 0x1042c
Need step over [LWP 11245]? No, no breakpoint found at 0x1042c
Proceeding, no step-over needed
proceed_one_lwp: lwp 11245
stop pc is 0001042c
pc is 0x1042c
Resuming lwp 11245 (continue, signal 0, stop not expected)
stop pc is 0001042c
continue from pc 0x1042c
It also works if the value at 0x0001042c is a permanent breakpoint.
If so gdbserver will finish the step over, remove the reinserted breakpoint,
resume at that location and on the next SIGTRAP gdbserver will trigger
the advance PC condition as reinsert_breakpoint_inserted_here will be false.
I also tested this against bp-permanent.exp on arm (with a work in progress
software single step patchset) without any regressions.
It's also tested against x86 bp-permanent.exp without any regression.
So both software and hardware single step are tested.

When manually stepping over a permanent breakpoint on ARM we need to fetch the
right breakpoint size based on the current instruction set used.
Since this is not encoded in the stop_pc, the instruction mode needs to be
fetched from the CPSR register.
This is done by introducing a new target operation called :
breakpoint_kind_from_current_state.
For other targets that do not need this, breakpoint_kind_from_pc is used.

Running killed-outside.exp in with "maint set target-non-stop on"
hangs currently. This test has the inferior process die with a
SIGKILL while stopped. gdbserver gets a SIGCHLD and reacts by
retrieveing the SIGKILL events out of waitpid. But because the
process is not resumed from GDB's perspective, the event is left
pending. When GDB resumes the process afterwards, the process is not
really resumed because it already has the event pending. But nothing
wakes up the event loop to consume the event.

this.

reporst error to GDB, and so the tests (e.g.,
gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp) at fail quickly. But with
"maint set target-non-stop on", GDB instead hangs forever waiting for
a stop reply that never comes, and so the tests take longer to time
out.

When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

but from here on, we never see any other event for LWP 22253. In
particular, we never see the expected SIGSTOP (from "Sending sigstop"
above). The issue is that linux_resume_stopped_resumed_lwps never
re-resumes the 22253 after the clone event.

* linux-low.c (resume_stopped_resumed_lwps): Don't check whether
the thread's last_resume_kind was resume_stop.
With "maint set target-non-stop on", the attach tests occasionally
crash gdbserver.
Basically, gdb attaches with vAttach;PID, and then shortly after reads
the xml target description for that process, to figure out the
process' architecture. On the gdbserver side, the target description
is only filled in when the first process/thread in the thread group
reports its initial PTRACE_ATTACH SIGSTOP. So if GDB is fast enough,
it can read the target description _before_ that initial stop, and
then gdbserver dies dereferencing a NULL tdesc pointer.

The target_process_qsupported method is called for each qSupported
feature that the common code does not recognize. The only current
implementation, for x86 Linux (x86_linux_process_qsupported), assumes
that it either is called with the "xmlRegisters=i386" feature, or that
it is isn't called at all, indicating the connected GDB predates x86
XML descriptions.
That's a bad assumption however. If GDB sends in a new/unknown (to
core gdbserver) feature after "xmlRegisters=i386", say, something like
qSupported:xmlRegisters=i386;UnknownFeature+, then when
target_process_qsupported is called for "UnknownFeature+",
x86_linux_process_qsupported clears the 'use_xml' global and calls
x86_linux_update_xmltarget, and gdbserver ends up _not_ reporting a
XML description...
This commit changes the target_process_qsupported API to instead pass
down a vector of unprocessed qSupported features in one go.
(There's an early call to target_process_qsupported(NULL) that
indicates "starting qSupported processing". There's no matching call
to mark the end of processing, though. I first fixed this by passing
(char *)-1 to indicate that, and adjusted the x86 backend to only
clear 'use_xml' when qSupported processing starts, and then only call
x86_linux_update_xmltarget() when (char *)-1 was passed. However, I
wasn't that happy with the hack and came up this alternative version.)

This patch moves default_breakpoint_kind_from_pc to target.c and creates a macro

This allows the breakpoint_kind_from_pc operation to be left unimplemented in
targets that do not need it.

This patch fixes a regression introduced by :
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-10/msg00369.html
Tests : gdb.trace/trace-break.exp and gdb.trace/trace-mt.exp would fail on x86
with gdbserver-{native,extended}.
Before this patch, the breakpoint kind set by GDB with a Z packet and the one
set in the case of a tracepoint would be inconsistent on targets that did not
implement breakpoint_kind_from_pc. On x86 for example a breakpoint set by GDB
would have a kind of 1 but a breakpoint set by a tracepoint would have a kind of
0.
This created a missmatch when trying to insert a tracepoint and a breakpoint at
the same location. One of the two breakpoints would be removed with debug
message : "Inconsistent breakpoint kind".
This patch fixes the issue by changing the default 0 breakpoint kind to be
the size of the breakpoint according to sw_breakpoint_from_kind.
The default breakpoint kind must be the breakpoint length to keep consistency
between breakpoints set via GDB and the ones set internally by GDBServer.
No regression on Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 with gdbserver-{native-extended}
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (default_breakpoint_kind_from_pc): New function.
(linux_breakpoint_kind_from_pc): Use default_breakpoint_kind_from_pc for
the default breakpoint kind.
There's two ways to set breakpoints in GDBServer.
- GDBServer setting its own breakpoints, through API set_breakpoint_at.
- GDBServer setting breakpoints according to the information in Z
packets, through API set_gdb_breakpoint.
Before this patch the breakpoint kinds were a concept unique to GDB and Z
packets, as GDBServer never had to set different kinds of breakpoint on its
own.
This patch teaches GDBServer to handle breakpoint kinds for its own
breakpoints. It generalizes the breakpoint kind as per Z packets to
represent different kinds of breakpoints directly set by GDBServer also.
GDBServer now querys breakpoint_kind_from_pc to know what breakpoint kind to
set on its own.
As the kind is now a differentiating factor equivalent to size for the
breakpoint struct and that it's size can be queried using
sw_breakpoint_from_kind, the size field has been replaced with the kind field.
All references to size are now replaced by kind or a call to bp_size that wraps
sw_breakpoing_from_kind and returns the size of the breakpoint in memory.
To fetch the software breakpoint data bp_opcode is called and wraps the
sw_breakpoint_from_kind call.
No regressions on Ubuntu 14.04 on ARMv7 and x86.

This patch is in preparation for software breakpoints on ARM linux. It
refactors breakpoint and breakpoint_len into breakpoint_kind_from_pc and
sw_breakpoint_from kind to prepare the case where we have multiple types of
breakpoints.
Kind is the type of breakpoint (hardware or software) to be inserted, usually it
is the lenght of the software breakpoint but can be something else depending on
the target.
This patch introduces the linux_target_ops breakpoint_kind_from_pc and
sw_breakpoint_from_kind.
breakpoint_kind_from_pc returns the breakpoint kind and adjusts the PC to the
real memory location in case a flag was present in the PC. E.g the instruction
mode on ARM.
sw_breakpoint_from_kind returns the software breakpoint for this kind as a
string of bytes, the length of the breakpoint is adjusted for the breakpoint's
size in memory.
For targets that have only one kind of breakpoint, the default value 0 is
returned by linux_breakpoint_kind_from_pc so that not all targets need to
implement the breakpoint_kind_from_pc operation.

This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

For the BTS recording format, we sometimes get a FROM->TO record where the
FROM address lies in the kernel and the TO address lies in user space at
whatever address the user process was resumed.
GDB has a heuristic to filter out such records based on looking at the most
significant bit in the PC. This works fine for 64-bit systems but it doesn't
always work for 32-bit systems. Libraries that are loaded at fairly high
addresses might be mistaken for kernel code and branches inside the library
are filtered out.
Change the heuristic to (again heuristically) try to determine the lowest
address in kernel space. Any PC that is smaller than that should be in
user space.
On today's systems, there should be a symbol "_text" at that address.
Read /proc/kallsyms and search for that symbol.
It is not guaranteed that /proc/kallsyms is readable on all systems. On
64-bit systems, we fall back to check the most significant bit. On 32-bit
systems, we refrain from filtering out addresses.
The filtering should really be done by the kernel. And it soon will be:

The Linux target and gdbserver now check the siginfo si_code
reported on a SIGTRAP to detect whether the trap indicates
a software breakpoint was hit.
Unfortunately, on Cell/B.E., the kernel uses an si_code value
of TRAP_BRKPT when a SW breakpoint was hit in PowerPC code,
but a si_code value of SI_KERNEL when a SW breakpoint was
hit in SPU code.
This patch updates Linux target and gdbserver to accept both
si_code values to indicate SW breakpoint on PowerPC.

* nat/linux-ptrace.h (GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT): Replace by ...
(GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT): ... this. Add __powerpc__ case.

In all-stop mode, if the current thread disappears while stopping all
threads, gdbserver calls set_desired_thread(0) ['0' means "I want the
continue thread"] which just picks the first thread in the list.
This looks like a dangerous thing to do. GDBserver continues
processing whatever it was doing, but to the wrong thread. If
debugging more than one process, we may even pick the wrong process.
Instead, GDBserver should detect the situation and bail out of
whatever is was doing.
The backends used to pay attention to the set 'cont_thread' (the Hc
thread, used in the old way to resume threads, before vCont), but all
such 'cont_thread' checks have been eliminated meanwhile. The
remaining implicit dependencies that I found on there being a selected
thread in the backends are in the Ctrl-C handling, which some backends
use as thread to send a signal to. Even that seems to me to be better
handled by always using the first thread in the list or by using the
signal_pid PID.
In order to make this a systematic approach, I'm making
set_desired_thread never fallback to a random thread, and instead end
up with current_thread == NULL, like already done in non-stop mode.
Then I updated all callers to handle the situation.
I stumbled on this while fixing other bugs exposed by
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test. The problems I saw were fixed
in a different way, but in any case, I think the potential for
problems is more or less obvious, and the resulting code looks a bit
less magical to me.

While hacking on the fix for PR threads/18600 (Threads left stopped
after fork+thread spawn), I once saw its test (fork-plus-threads.exp)
FAIL against gdbserver because move_out_of_jump_pad_callback has a
gdb_breakpoint_here call, and the caller isn't making sure the current
thread points to the right thread. In the case I saw, the current
thread pointed to the wrong process, so gdb_breakpoint_here returned
the wrong answer. Unfortunately I didn't save logs. Still, seems
obvious enough and it should fix a potential occasional racy FAIL.

Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00868.html
This adds a test that has a multithreaded program have several threads
continuously fork, while another thread continuously steps over a
breakpoint.
This exposes several intertwined issues, which this patch addresses:
- When we're stopping and suspending threads, some thread may fork,
and we missed setting its suspend count to 1, like we do when a new
clone/thread is detected. When we next unsuspend threads, the fork
child's suspend count goes below 0, which is bogus and fails an
assertion.
- If a step-over is cancelled because a signal arrives, but then gdb
is not interested in the signal, we pass the signal straight back
to the inferior. However, we miss that we need to re-increment the
suspend counts of all other threads that had been paused for the
step-over. As a result, other threads indefinitely end up stuck
stopped.
- If a detach request comes in just while gdbserver is handling a
step-over (in the test at hand, this is GDB detaching the fork
child), gdbserver internal errors in stabilize_thread's helpers,
which assert that all thread's suspend counts are 0 (otherwise we
wouldn't be able to move threads out of the jump pads). The
suspend counts aren't 0 while a step-over is in progress, because
all threads but the one stepping past the breakpoint must remain
paused until the step-over finishes and the breakpoint can be
reinserted.
- Occasionally, we see "BAD - reinserting but not stepping." being
output (from within linux_resume_one_lwp_throw). That was because
GDB pokes memory while gdbserver is busy with a step-over, and that
suspends threads, and then re-resumes them with proceed_one_lwp,
which missed another reason to tell linux_resume_one_lwp that the
thread should be set back to stepping.
- In a couple places, we were resuming threads that are meant to be
suspended. E.g., when a vCont;c/s request for thread B comes in
just while gdbserver is stepping thread A past a breakpoint. The
resume for thread B must be deferred until the step-over finishes.
- The test runs with both "set detach-on-fork" on and off. When off,
it exercises the case of GDB detaching the fork child explicitly.
When on, it exercises the case of gdb resuming the child
explicitly. In the "off" case, gdb seems to exponentially become
slower as new inferiors are created. This is _very_ noticeable as
with only 100 inferiors gdb is crawling already, which makes the
test take quite a bit to run. For that reason, I've disabled the
"off" variant for now.

All the "[Thread FOO] #NN stopped." above are bogus, as well as the
"Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.",
which is a consequence.
The problem is that when we intercept a fork event, we should report
the event for the parent, only, and leave the child stopped, but not
report its stop event. GDB later decides whether to follow the parent
or the child. But because handle_extended_wait does not set the
child's last_status.kind to TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, a
stop_all_threads/unstop_all_lwps sequence (e.g., from trying to access
memory) by mistake ends up queueing a SIGSTOP on the child, resuming
it, and then when that SIGSTOP is intercepted, because the LWP has
last_resume_kind set to resume_stop, gdbserver reports the stop to
GDB, as GDB_SIGNAL_0:

Nowadays, when --wrapper is used, GDBserver skips extra traps/stops
in the wrapper program, and stops at the first instruction of the
program to be debugged. However, GDBserver created target description
in the first stop of inferior, and the executable of the inferior
is the wrapper program rather than the program to be debugged. In
this way, the target description can be wrong if the architectures
of wrapper program and program to be debugged are different. This
is shown by some fails in gdb.server/wrapper.exp on buildbot.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/wrapper.exp: setting breakpoint at marker
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg01541.html
In this case, program to be debugged ("wrapper") is 32-bit but wrapper
program ("/usr/bin/env") is 64-bit, so GDBserver gets the 64-bit
target description instead of 32-bit.
The root cause of this problem is that GDBserver creates target
description too early, and the rationale of fix could be creating
target description once the GDBserver skips extra traps and inferior
stops at the first instruction of the program we want to debug. IOW,
when GDBserver skips extra traps, the inferior's tdesc is NULL, and
mywait and its callees shouldn't use inferior's tdesc, so in this
patch, we skip code that requires register access, see changes in
linux_resume_one_lwp_throw and need_step_over_p.
In linux_low_filter_event, if target description isn't initialised and
GDBserver attached the process, we create target description immediately,
because GDBserver don't have to skip extra traps for attach, IOW, it
makes no sense to use --attach and --wrapper together. Otherwise, the
process is launched by GDBserver, we keep the status pending, and return.
After GDBserver skipped extra traps in start_inferior, we call a
target_ops hook arch_setup to initialise target description there.

* linux-low.c (linux_arch_setup): New function.

Otherwise, keep status pending, and return.
(linux_resume_one_lwp_throw): Don't call get_pc if
thread->while_stepping isn't NULL. Don't call
get_thread_regcache if proc->tdesc is NULL.
(need_step_over_p): Return 0 if proc->tdesc is NULL.
(linux_target_ops): Install arch_setup.
* server.c (start_inferior): Call the_target->arch_setup.

* nto-low.c (nto_target_ops): Update.
* spu-low.c (spu_target_ops): Update.
* win32-low.c (win32_target_ops): Update.
Nowadays, we set proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside linux_add_process,
and new_inferior is used as a flag to initialise target description later.
linux_add_process is used for the three cases, fork/vfork event
(handle_extended_wait), run the program (linux_create_inferior), and
attach to the process (linux_attach). In the first case, the child's
target description is copied from parent's, so we don't need to initialise
target description again later, which means we don't need to set
proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 in this case. For the rest of two cases,
we need this flag.
This patch move the code setting proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside
linux_add_process to linux_create_inferior and linux_attach. No
functionality is changed.

This patch fixes some intermittent test failures in
gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp where a vfork child would be (incorrectly)
resumed when handling the vfork event. In this case the result
was a subsequent event reported to the client side as a SIGTRAP
delivered to the as-yet-unknown child thread.
The new thread was resumed (incorrectly) in linux-low.c when
resume_stopped_resumed_lwps was called from
linux_wait_for_event_filtered after the vfork event had been
handled in handle_extended_wait.
Gdbserver/linux-low.c's add_thread function creates threads with
last_resume_kind == resume_continue by default. This field is
used by resume_stopped_resumed_lwps to decide whether to perform
the resume:
static void
resume_stopped_resumed_lwps (struct inferior_list_entry *entry) {
struct thread_info *thread = (struct thread_info *) entry;
struct lwp_info *lp = get_thread_lwp (thread);
if (lp->stopped
&& !lp->status_pending_p
&& thread->last_resume_kind != resume_stop
&& thread->last_status.kind == TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE)
{
So the fix is to make sure to set thread->last_resume_kind to
resume_stop. Here we do that for new fork children in
gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait.
In addition, it seemed prudent to initialize lwp_info.status_pending_p
for the new fork child. I also rearranged the initialization code
so that all of the lwp_info initialization was together, rather than
intermixed with thread_info and process_info initialization.
Tested native, native-gdbserver, native-extended-gdbserver on
x86_64 GNU/Linux.

* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Initialize
thread_info.last_resume_kind for new fork children.
This patch implements follow-fork for vfork on extended-remote Linux targets.
The implementation follows the native implementation as much as possible.
Most of the work is done on the GDB side in the existing code now in
infrun.c. GDBserver just has to report the events and do a little
bookkeeping.
Implementation includes:
* enabling VFORK events by adding ptrace options for VFORK and VFORK_DONE
to linux-low.c:linux_low_ptrace_options.
* handling VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
and reporting them to GDB.
* including VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in the predicate
linux-low.c:extended_event_reported.
* adding support for VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in RSP by adding stop
reasons "vfork" and "vforkdone" to the 'T' Stop Reply Packet in both
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and gdb/remote.c.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements the architecture-specific pieces of follow-fork
for remote and extended-remote Linux targets, which in the current
implementation copyies the parent's debug register state into the new
child's data structures. This is required for x86, arm, aarch64, and
mips.
This follows the native implementation as closely as possible by
implementing a new linux_target_ops function 'new_fork', which is
analogous to 'linux_nat_new_fork' in linux-nat.c. In gdbserver, the debug
registers are stored in the process list, instead of an
architecture-specific list, so the function arguments are process_info
pointers instead of an lwp_info and a pid as in the native implementation.
In the MIPS implementation the debug register mirror is stored differently
from x86, ARM, and aarch64, so instead of doing a simple structure assignment
I had to clone the list of watchpoint structures.
Tested using gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp on x86, and ran manual tests
on a MIPS board and an ARM board. Aarch64 hasn't been tested.

This patch implements basic support for follow-fork and detach-on-fork on
extended-remote Linux targets. Only 'fork' is supported in this patch;
'vfork' support is added n a subsequent patch. This patch depends on
the previous patches in the patch series.
Sufficient extended-remote functionality has been implemented here to pass
gdb.base/multi-forks.exp, as well as gdb.base/foll-fork.exp with the
catchpoint tests commented out. Some other fork tests fail with this
patch because it doesn't provide the architecture support needed for
watchpoint inheritance or fork catchpoints.
The implementation follows the same general structure as for the native
implementation as much as possible.
This implementation includes:
* enabling fork events in linux-low.c in initialize_low and
linux_enable_extended_features
* handling fork events in gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
- when a fork event occurs in gdbserver, we must do the full creation
of the new process, thread, lwp, and breakpoint lists. This is
required whether or not the new child is destined to be
detached-on-fork, because GDB will make target calls that require all
the structures. In particular we need the breakpoint lists in order
to remove the breakpoints from a detaching child. If we are not
detaching the child we will need all these structures anyway.
- as part of this event handling we store the target_waitstatus in a new
member of the parent lwp_info structure, 'waitstatus'. This
is used to store extended event information for reporting to GDB.
- handle_extended_wait is given a return value, denoting whether the
handled event should be reported to GDB. Previously it had only
handled clone events, which were never reported.
* using a new predicate in gdbserver to control handling of the fork event
(and eventually all extended events) in linux_wait_1. The predicate,
extended_event_reported, checks a target_waitstatus.kind for an
extended ptrace event.
* implementing a new RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet stop reason: "fork", in
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and remote.c.
* implementing new target and RSP support for target_follow_fork with
target extended-remote. (The RSP components were actually defined in
patch 1, but they see their first use here).
- remote target routine remote_follow_fork, which just sends the 'D;pid'
detach packet to detach the new fork child cleanly. We can't just
call target_detach because the data structures for the forked child
have not been allocated on the host side.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements a mechanism for GDB to determine whether fork
events are supported in gdbserver. This is a preparatory patch for
remote fork and exec event support.
Two new RSP packets are defined to represent fork and vfork event
support. These packets are used just like PACKET_multiprocess_feature
to denote whether the corresponding event is supported. GDB sends
fork-events+ and vfork-events+ to gdbserver to inquire about fork
event support. If the response enables these packets, then GDB
knows that gdbserver supports the corresponding events and will
enable them.
Target functions used to query for support are included along with
each new packet.
In order for gdbserver to know whether the events are supported at the
point where the qSupported packet arrives, the code in nat/linux-ptrace.c
had to be reorganized. Previously it would test for fork/exec event
support, then enable the events using the pid of the inferior. When the
qSupported packet arrives there may not be an inferior. So the mechanism
was split into two parts: a function that checks whether the events are
supported, called when gdbserver starts up, and another that enables the
events when the inferior stops for the first time.
Another gdbserver change was to add some global variables similar to
multi_process, one per new packet. These are used to control whether
the corresponding fork events are enabled. If GDB does not inquire
about the event support in the qSupported packet, then gdbserver will
not set these "report the event" flags. If the flags are not set, the
events are ignored like they were in the past. Thus, gdbserver will
never send fork event notification to an older GDB that doesn't
recognize fork events.
Tested on Ubuntu x64, native/remote/extended-remote, and as part of
subsequent patches in the series.

GDBserver steps over breakpoint if the condition is false, but if target
doesn't support hardware single step, the step over is very simple, if
not incorrect, in linux-arm-low.c:
/* We only place breakpoints in empty marker functions, and thread locking
is outside of the function. So rather than importing software single-step,
we can just run until exit. */
static CORE_ADDR
arm_reinsert_addr (void)
{
struct regcache *regcache = get_thread_regcache (current_thread, 1);
unsigned long pc;
collect_register_by_name (regcache, "lr", &pc);
return pc;
}
and linux-mips-low.c does the same. GDBserver sets a breakpoint at the
return address of the current function, resume and wait the program hits
the breakpoint in order to achieve "breakpoint step over". What if
program hits other user breakponits during this "step over"?
It is worse if the arm/thumb interworking is considered. Nowadays,
GDBserver arm backend unconditionally inserts arm breakpoint,
/* Define an ARM-mode breakpoint; we only set breakpoints in the C
library, which is most likely to be ARM. If the kernel supports
clone events, we will never insert a breakpoint, so even a Thumb
C library will work; so will mixing EABI/non-EABI gdbserver and
application. */
(const unsigned char *) &arm_breakpoint,
(const unsigned char *) &arm_eabi_breakpoint,
note that the comments are no longer valid as C library can be compiled
in thumb mode.
When GDBserver steps over a breakpoint in arm mode function, which
returns to thumb mode, GDBserver will insert arm mode breakpoint by
mistake and the program will crash. GDBserver alone is unable to
determine the arm/thumb mode given a PC address. See how GDB does
it in arm-tdep.c:arm_pc_is_thumb.
After thinking about how to teach GDBserver inserting right breakpoint
(arm or thumb) for a while, I reconsider it from a different direction
that it may be unreasonable to run target-side conditional breakpoint for
targets without hardware single step. Pedro also pointed this out here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00337.html
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook
supports_conditional_breakpoints, and only reply
";ConditionalBreakpoints+" if it is true. On linux targets,
supports_conditional_breakpoints returns true if target has hardware
single step, on other targets, (win32, lynx, nto, spu), set it to NULL,
