The cause is that we want to access some builtin types in gdbarch init, but
it is not initialized yet. I fix it by creating the type when it is to be
used. We've already done this in sparc, sparc64 and m68k.

This adds a test that exposes several problems fixed by earlier

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19797
And hopefully helps catch others in the future.
This started out as a test that simply did,
gdb -ex "print 1.0L"
to exercise #1 above.
Then to cover both 32-bit target / 64-bit host and the converse, I
thought of having the testcase print the floats twice, once with the
architecture set to "i386" and then to "i386:x86-64". This way it
wouldn't matter whether gdb was built as 32-bit or a 64-bit program.
Then I thought that other archs might have similar host/target
floatformat conversion issues as well. Instead of hardcoding some
architectures in the test file, I thought we could just iterate over
all bfd architectures and OS ABIs supported by the gdb build being
tested. This is what then exposed all the other problems listed
above...
With an --enable-targets=all, this exercises over 14 thousand
combinations. If left in a single test file, it all consistenly runs
in under a minute on my machine (An Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 MHZ running
Fedora 23). Split in 8 chunks, as in this commit, it runs in around
25 seconds, with make -j8.
To avoid flooding the gdb.sum file, it avoids calling "pass" on each
tested combination/iteration. I'm explicitly not implementing that by
passing an empty message to gdb_test / gdb_test_multiple, because I
still want a FAIL to be logged in gdb.sum. So instead this puts the
internal passes in the gdb.log file, only, prefixed "IPASS:", for
internal pass. TBC, if some iteration fails, it'll still show up as
FAIL in gdb.sum. If this is an approach that takes on, I can see us
extending the common bits to support it for all testcases.

New in v2:
- A few adjustments / simplifications were possible now that we
require C++11:
. Use std::unique_ptr to make the user_args_stack std::vector own
its elements:
static std::vector<std::unique_ptr<user_args>> user_args_stack;
. use vector::emplace_back to construct elements directly in the
corresponding vectors.
. use std::to_string instead of adding a gdb::to_string
replacement.
- Now includes a test.
Docs/NEWS are unchanged from v1 and have already been approved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently wrote a user-defined command that could benefit from
supporting an unlimited number of arguments:
http://palves.net/list-active-signal-handlers-with-gdb/
E.g., 'info signal-dispositions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11'
However, we currently only support up to 10 arguments passed to
user-defined commands ($arg0..$arg9).
I can't find a good reason for that, other than "old code with hard
coded limits". This patch removes that limit and modernizes the code
along the way:
- Makes the user_args struct a real C++ class that uses std::vector
for storage.
- Removes the "next" pointer from within user_args and uses a
std::vector to maintain a stack instead.
- Adds a new RAII-based scoped_user_args_level class to help
push/pop user args in the stack instead of using a cleanup.

We're missing a test that makes sure that arguments to user-defined
commands are handled correctly when a user-defined command calls
another user-defined command / recurses.
The following patch changes that code, so add such a test first so we
can be confident won't be breaking this use case.

* gdb.base/commands.exp (user_defined_command_args_stack_test):
New procedure.
(top level): Call it.
It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in
user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments
($arg0..$argN).
I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work
currently. E.g., with:
define test
set $i = 0
while $i < $argc
eval "print $arg%d", $i
set $i = $i + 1
end
end
we get:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = void
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = void
$3 = void
$4 = void
(gdb)
The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments
substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that,
which makes the example above work:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = 1
$3 = 2
$4 = 3
(gdb)
New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding
$argc.
I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm
adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well.

I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.
New in v2:
- Change ordering style, directories go at the end.
- Cleanup gdbserver's and data-directory's Makefile as well.
- Add comments at top of Makefiles about the ordering.
- Remove wrong trailing backslahes.

While adding new tests to gdb.base/commands.exp, I noticed that the
file includes a bunch of individual testcases split into their own
procedures, and that none have ever been adjusted to use
with_test_prefix. Instead, each gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc
invocation takes care of including the procedure name in the test
message, in order to make sure test messages are unique.
Simon convinced me that using the procedure name as prefix is not that
bad of an idea:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00020.html
This commit adds an IMO simpler alternative to
with_test_prefix_procname added by that patch -- a new
"proc_with_prefix" convenience proc that is meant to be used in place
of "proc", and then uses it in commands.exp. Procedures defined with
this automatically run their bodies under with_test_prefix $proc_name.

A user reported a GDB crash with TUI when trying to debug a function
with a long demangled C++ method name. It turned out that the logic for
displaying the TUI disassembly window has a bug that can cause a buffer
overrun, possibly overwriting GDB-internal data structures. In
particular, the logic performs an unguarded strcpy.
Another (harmless) bug in tui_alloc_source_buffer causes the buffer to
be two lines longer than needed. This may have made the crash appear
less frequently.

Testing a powerpc toolchain running gdbserver on the other end i noticed a

The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL
argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen.
However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't
prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the
new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due
to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts
to fix all that.
In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints
a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the
tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a
legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot
translation incorrectly.
A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning
code path even with native testing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

This apparently is due to - man gcc - -fsplit-stack:
When code compiled with -fsplit-stack calls code compiled without
-fsplit-stack, there may not be much stack space available for the
latter code to run. If compiling all code, including library code,
with -fsplit-stack is not an option, then the linker can fix up these
calls so that the code compiled without -fsplit-stack always has
a large stack. Support for this is implemented in the gold linker in
GNU binutils release 2.21 and later.

This is GDB trying to print the location spec of the JIT event
breakpoint, but that's an internal breakpoint without one.
If I add a NULL check, then we see that the JIT breakpoint is now
pending (because its location has shlib_disabled set):
(gdb) maint info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
[...]
-8 jit events keep y <PENDING> inf 1
[...]
But that's incorrect. GDB should have managed to recreate the JIT
breakpoint's location for the second run. So the problem is
elsewhere.
The problem is that if the JIT loads at the same address on the second
run, we never recreate the JIT breakpoint, because we hit this early
return:
static int
jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
struct jit_program_space_data *ps_data)
{
[...]
if (ps_data->cached_code_address == addr)
return 0;
[...]
delete_breakpoint (ps_data->jit_breakpoint);
[...]
ps_data->jit_breakpoint = create_jit_event_breakpoint (gdbarch, addr);
Fix this by deleting the breakpoint and discarding the cached code
address when the objfile where the previous JIT breakpoint was found
is deleted/unloaded in the first place.
The test that was originally added for PR11094 doesn't trip on this
because:
#1 - It doesn't test the case of the JIT descriptor's address _not_
changing between reruns.
#2 - And then it doesn't do "maint info breakpoints", or really
anything with the JIT at all.
#3 - and even then, to trigger the problem the JIT descriptor needs
to be in a separate library, while the current test puts it in
the main program.
The patch extends the test to cover all combinations of these
scenarios.

I noticed that we sometimes get this:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1

36 return 0;
(gdb) print &__jit_debug_descriptor
$2 = (struct jit_descriptor *) 0x601040 <__jit_debug_descriptor>
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
All tests PASSed, but note the "Unsupported JIT protocol version 4"
message.
Also notice that "__jit_debug_descriptor" has the same address before
and after the rerun, while the test is built in a way that should make
that address change between runs.
The test doesn't catch any of this because it doesn't compare
before/after addresses.
And then notice the "blah 1" test messages. "blah" is clearly a WIP
message, but it should be at least "blah 2" the second time. :-)
The reason this sometimes happens is that the test recompiles the
program and expects gdb to reload it automaticallyt on "run". However,
if the original program and the new recompilation happen to be in the
same second, then gdb does not realize that the binary needs to be
reloaded. (This is an old problem out of scope of this series.) If
that happens, then GDB ends up using the wrong symbols for the program
that it spawns, reads the JIT descriptor out of the wrong address,
finds garbage, and prints that "unsupported version" notice.
Fix that in the same way gdb.base/reread.exp handles it -- by sleeping
one second before recompiling.

jit_breakpoint_re_set() is specific by trying to insert a breakpoint into the
main executable, not into a shared library. During attachment GDB thinks it
needs to use 'breakpoint always-inserted' from
breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now() as a newly attached thread is
'thread_info->executing' due to 'lwp_info->must_set_ptrace_flags' enabled and
the task not yet stopped. This did not happen before the 'bad commit' above
which adds tracking of such thread.
GDB then fails to insert the breakpoints to invalid address as PIE executable
gets properly relocated during later phase of attachment. One can see in the
backtraces below:
-> jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal()
later:
-> svr4_exec_displacement()
One can suppress the initial breakpoint_re_set() call as there will be another
breakpoint_re_set() done from the final post_create_inferior() call in
setup_inferior().
BTW additionally 'threads_executing' cache bool is somehow stale (somewhere is
missing update_threads_executing()). I was trying to deal with that in my
first/second attempt below but in my final third attempt (attached) I have
left it as it is.
First attempt trying not to falsely require 'breakpoint always-inserted':
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix1.patch
Reduced first attempt:
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix2.patch
The third attempt suppresses breakpoint insertion until PIE executable gets
relocated by svr4_exec_displacement(). Applied.

If you run an infcall from the command line, and immediately after run

This fixes PR gdb/20604. The bug here is that passing an invalid
expression to "quit" -- e.g., "quit()" -- causes gdb to enter a
non-functioning state.
The immediate problem is that quit_force resets the terminal before
evaluating the expression. However, it seemed to me that it doesn't
really make sense to pass the quit_force argument to kill_or_detach
(which passes it to to_detach), first because conflating the exit
status for "quit" and the signal to pass when detaching doesn't make
sense, and second because to_detach implementations generally only
accept a constant here, while "quit" accepts an expression. So, I
removed that.
As an aside, I think the "detach SIGNO" functionality is not
documented.

GCC 6's ICF optimization pass is making the declaration of 'm1' and
'm2', on gdb.base/stap-probe.c, to be unified. However, this leads to
only one instance of the probe 'two' being created, which causes a
failure on the testsuite (which expects a multi-location breakpoint to
be inserted on the probe).
This patch fixes this failure by declaring a dummy variable on 'm1',
and using it as an argument to m1's version of probe 'two'. Since we
do not care about the contents of the functions nor about the
arguments of each probe 'two', this is OK.

On various GNU Elf architectures, including AArch64, ARM, s390/s390x,
ppc32/64, and sparc32/64, the dynamic loader passes HWCAP as a parameter
to each ifunc resolver. Currently there is an open glibc Bugzilla that
requests this to be generalized to all architectures:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19766
And various ifunc resolvers already rely on receiving HWCAP. Currently
GDB always calls an ifunc resolver without any arguments; thus the
resolver may receive garbage, and based on that, the resolver may decide
to return a function that is not suited for the given platform.
This patch always passes HWCAP to ifunc resolvers, even on systems where
the dynamic loader currently behaves otherwise. The rationale is
that (1) the dynamic loader may get adjusted on those systems as well in
the future; (2) passing an unused argument should not cause a problem
with existing resolvers; and (3) the logic is much simpler without such
a distinction.

I noticed that if input is already pending on the new-ui TTY, gdb
internal-errors.
E.g., create /dev/pts/2, and type anything there (even just <return>
is sufficient).
Now start GDB creating a new UI on that TTY, while at the same time,
running a synchronous execution command. Something like:
$ gdb program -ex "new-ui console /dev/pts/2" -ex "start"
Back on /dev/pts/2, we get:
(gdb) .../src/gdb/event-top.c:360: internal-error: double prompt
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
While the main UI was waiting for "start" to finish, gdb kepts pumping
events, including the input fd of the extra console. The problem is
that stdin_event_handler doesn't restore the current UI back to what
it was, assuming that it's only ever called from the top level event
loop. However, in this case, it's being called from the nested event
loop from within maybe_wait_sync_command_done.
When finally the "start" command is done, we reach the code that
prints the prompt in the main UI, just before starting the main event
loop. Since now the current UI is pointing at the extra console (by
mistake), we find ourselves printing a double prompt on the extra
console. This is caught by the assertion that fails, as shown above.
Since other event handlers also don't restore the UI (e.g., signal
event handlers), I think it's better if whatever is pumping events to
take care to restore the UI, if it cares. That's what this patch
does. New test included.

Now that all the prerequisites are in place, this commit finally adds support
for handling the __float128 type on Intel and Power, by providing appropriate
platform-specific versions of the floatformat_for_type callback.
Since at this point we do not yet have any indication in the debug info to
distinguish different floating-point formats of the same length, we simply
use the type name as hint. Types named "__float128" get the IEEE format.
In addition to handling "__float128" itself, we also recognize "_Float128"
and (on Power) "_Float64x", as well as the complex versions of those.
(As pointed out by Joseph Myers, starting with GCC 7, __float128 is just
a typedef for _Float128 -- but it's good to handle this anyway.)
A new test case does some simple verification that the format is decoded
correctly, using both __float128 and "long double" to make sure using both
in the same file still works. Another new test verifies handling of the
_FloatN and _FloatNx types supported by GCC 7, as well as the complex
versions of those types.
Note that this still only supports basic format decoding and encoding.
We do not yet support the GNU extension 'g' suffix for __float128 constants.
In addition, since all *arithmetic* on floating-point values is still
performed in native host "long double" arithmetic, if that format is not
able to encode all target __float128 values, we may get incorrect results.
(To fix this would require implementing fully synthetic target floating-
point arithmetic along the lines of GCC's real.c, presumably using MPFR.)

skip floating point tests if the kernel bug is detected.
This patch adds more code in gdb_skip_float_test to detect the broken
ptrace on arm-linux. Such detection should be done at the beginning
of the test, because it starts a fresh GDB, so change the test cases
to invoke gdb_skip_float_test at the beginning of test, and use its

This patch allows the user to set the inferior-tty to "empty", in order
to come back to the default behaviour of using the same tty as gdb is
using.
This is already supported in MI (and tested in gdb.mi/mi-basics.exp).
I added a new test, set-inferior-tty.exp, where I test only the setting
and unsetting of the parameter. It would be nice to actually test that
the inferior output properly goes to the separate tty, but that will be
for another day.

This patch fixes a problem that problem triggers if you start an
inferior, e.g., with the "start" command, in a UI created with the
new-ui command, and then run a foreground execution command in the
main UI. Once the program stops for the latter command, typing in the
main UI no longer echoes back to the user.
The problem revolves around this:
- gdb_has_a_terminal computes its result lazily, on first call.
that is what saves gdb's initial main UI terminal state (the UI
associated with stdin):
our_terminal_info.ttystate = serial_get_tty_state (stdin_serial);
This is the state that target_terminal_ours() restores.
- In this scenario, the gdb_has_a_terminal function happens to be
first ever called from within the target_terminal_init call in
startup_inferior:
(top-gdb) bt
#0 gdb_has_a_terminal () at src/gdb/inflow.c:157
#1 0x000000000079db22 in child_terminal_init_with_pgrp () at src/gdb/inflow.c:217
[...]
#4 0x000000000065bacb in target_terminal_init () at src/gdb/target.c:456
#5 0x00000000004676d2 in startup_inferior () at src/gdb/fork-child.c:531
[...]
#7 0x000000000046b168 in linux_nat_create_inferior () at src/gdb/linux-nat.c:1112
[...]
#9 0x00000000005f20c9 in start_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/infcmd.c:657
If the command to start the inferior is issued on the main UI, then
readline will have deprepped the terminal when we reach the above, and
the problem doesn't appear.
If however the command is issued on a non-main UI, then when we reach
that gdb_has_a_terminal call, the main UI's terminal state is still
set to whatever readline has sets it to in rl_prep_terminal, which
happens to have echo disabled. Later, when the following synchronous
execution command finishes, we'll call target_terminal_ours to restore
gdb's the main UI's terminal settings, and that restores the terminal
state with echo disabled...
Conceptually, the fix is to move the gdb_has_a_terminal call earlier,
to someplace during GDB initialization, before readline/ncurses have
had a chance to change terminal settings. Turns out that
"set_initial_gdb_ttystate" is exactly such a place.
I say conceptually, because the fix actually inlines the
gdb_has_a_terminal part that saves the terminal state in
set_initial_gdb_ttystate and then simplifies gdb_has_a_terminal, since
there's no point in making gdb_has_a_terminal do lazy computation.

Loading a core dump that was either generated on a system running
pristine glibc master, or on a Fedora/RHEL system with LD_DEBUG=unused
set in the environment, solib-svr4.c:svr4_current_sos fails to filter
out the vDSO, resulting in:
(gdb) core-file corefile.core^M

...
The problem is that gdbarch_vsyscall_range does not support core
inferiors at all.
When live debugging, we're finding the vDSO's start address with
auxv/AT_SYSINFO_EHDR, and then we find the vDSO's size by look for the
corresponding mapping, by parsing /proc/PID/maps. When debugging a
core dump, we can also determine the starting address from
auxv/AT_SYSINFO_EHDR. However, we obviously can't read the core
mappings out of the host's /proc. But we can instead look for a
corresponding load segment in the core's bfd.

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.

A partially created UI is left in the UI list, with interp set to NULL.
Trying to do anything that will print on this UI (such as "start") will
