* NEWS: Mention support for redirection on MS-Windows.
* windows-nat.c (redir_open, redir_set_redirection)
(redirect_inferior_handles) [!__CYGWIN__]: New functions.
(windows_create_inferior) [!__CYGWIN__]: Use
'redirect_inferior_handles' to redirect standard handles of the
debuggee if the command line requests that.
With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly
selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs.
When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the
front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it
informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the
front-end.
This patch addresses PR gdb/20487.
In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds
a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The
idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition,
it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision
would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find
that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be
ill-named for that job.
Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the
frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of
the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events.
Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate:
thread
------
1. CLI command:
thread 1.3
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={...}
2. MI command:
-thread-select 3
CLI event:
[Switching to thread 1.3 ...]
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
thread 1.3
MI event/reply:
&"thread 1.3\n"
~"#0 child_sub_function () ...
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",...}
^done
frame
-----
1. CLI command:
frame 1
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1",...}
2. MI command:
-stack-select-frame 1
CLI event:
#1 0x00000000004007f0 in child_function...
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
frame 1
MI event/reply:
&"frame 1\n"
~"#1 0x00000000004007f9 in ..."
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1"...}
^done
inferior
--------
Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's
no way to select the inferior in pure MI.
1. CLI command:
inferior 2
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3"
Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited,
the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to
select, the =thread-selected event does not apply...
2. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
inferior 2
MI event/reply:
&"inferior 2\n"
~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]"
=thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...}
^done
Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress
notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c.
This means that it's now possible to use the
add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some
event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in
this patch.
The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract
the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is
also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user
already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is
not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the
event twice.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and
native-extended-gdbserver.

ARC is a family of licensable processors developed by Synopsys.
This is an initial patch that doesn't yet support some of the features, that
are already available in Synopsys' fork of GDB, namely:
* longjmp support
* signal frame handling
* prologue analysis
* Linux targets support
* native Linux support
ARC cores are configurable and extensible, which means from debugger
perspective that some registers and debug capabilities are optional, therefore
it is up to the GDB stub to determine exact list of register available on
target and supply it to GDB via XML target descriptions. List of registers
that is known to GDB and is required is intentionally kept small to simplify
requirements to GDB stub and implementation of a GDB client.

This is done by catching an exception number 0x406d1388 (it has no
documented name, though MSDN dubs it "MS_VC_EXCEPTION" in one code
example), which is thrown by the program. The exception record
contains an ID of a thread and a name to give it.
This requires rolling back some changes in handle_exception(), which
now again returns more than two distinct values. The new
HANDLE_EXCEPTION_IGNORED value means that gdb should just continue,
without returning the thread ID up the stack (which would result in
further handling of the exception, which is not what we want).

This patch allows gdbserver to continue recording after disconnect. On
reconnect, the recorded data is accessible to gdb as if no disconnect happened.
A possible application for this feature is remotely examine bugs that occur

Eclipse CDT now supports enabling execution recording using two methods
(full and btrace) and both formats for btrace (bts and pt). In the
event that recording is enabled behind the back of the GUI (by the user
on the command line, or a script), we need to know which method/format
are being used, so it can be correctly reflected in the interface. This
patch adds this information to the =record-started async record.
Before:
=record-started,thread-group="i1"
After:
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="bts"
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="pt"

I wanted to unit test the Rust lexer, so I added a simple unit testing
command to gdb.
The intent is that self tests will only be compiled into gdb in
development mode. In release mode they simply won't exist. So, this
exposes $development to C code as GDB_SELF_TEST.
In development mode, test functions are registered with the self test
module. A test function is just a function that does some checks, and
throws an exception on failure.
Then this adds a new "maint selftest" command which invokes the test
functions, and a new dejagnu test case that invokes it.

Fortran supports dynamic types for which bounds, size and location
can vary during their lifetime. As a result of the dynamic
behaviour, they have to be resolved at every query.

- Debugging boards using the MIPS remote debugging protocol
over a serial line, PMON, and a few variants.
These are the last non-"target remote" remote targets in the tree, if
you don't count "target sim".

This patch is a follow-up to "Add printf format specifier for printing
enumerator":
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00144.html
Instead of having a solution specific to the printf command, Pedro
suggested adding a general purpose function $_as_string() that would
cover this use case and more.
So, in order to print the textual label of an enum, one can use:
(gdb) printf "Visiting node of type %s\n", $_as_string(node)
Visiting node of type NODE_INTEGER

With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of
boundary violation. A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as
a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3. This patch adds a
handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed
when a bound violation is presented to the inferior. In the stop mode
case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or
"lower", bounds and the address accessed.
On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged. Additional
information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user
does not know the line in which violation occurred as well.
When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be
changed as exemplified below.
The usual output of a segfault is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3
Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3]
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In mi mode the output of a segfault is:
*stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV",
signal-meaning="Segmentation fault", frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c",
func="upper",args=[{name="p", value="0x603010"},{name="a",value="0x603030"}

For languages with dynamic types, an incorrect program, or uninitialised
variables within a program, could result in an incorrect, overly large
type being associated with a value. Currently, attempting to print such
a variable will result in gdb trying to allocate an overly large buffer.
If this large memory allocation fails then the result can be gdb either
terminating, or (due to memory contention) becoming unresponsive for the
user.
A new user visible variable in gdb helps guard against such problems,
two new commands are available:
set max-value-size
show max-value-size
The 'max-value-size' is the maximum size of memory in bytes that gdb
will allocate for the contents of a value. Any attempt to allocate a
value with a size greater than this will result in an error. The
initial default for this limit is set at 64k, this is based on a similar
limit that exists within the ada specific code.
It is possible for the user to set max-value-size to unlimited, in which
case the old behaviour is restored.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* value.c (max_value_size): New variable.
(MIN_VALUE_FOR_MAX_VALUE_SIZE): New define.

Older versions of FreeBSD supported userland threading via a pure
user-space threading library (N threads scheduled on 1 process) and
a N:M model (N threads scheduled on M LWPs). However, modern FreeBSD
versions only support a M:M threading model where each user thread is
backed by a dedicated LWP. This thread target only supports this
threading model. It also uses ptrace to query and alter LWP state
directly rather than using libthread_db to simplify the implementation.
FreeBSD recently gained support for reporting LWP events (birth and death
of LWPs). GDB will use LWP events when present. For older systems it
fetches the list of LWPs in the to_update_thread_list target op to update
the list of threads on each stop.
This target supports scheduler locking by using ptrace to suspend
individual LWPs as necessary before resuming a process.

This commit changes GDB like this:
- Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
+ Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
- Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
+ Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html
This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:
(gdb) info threads

3 Thread 0x7ffff77bf700 (LWP 19367) "bar" (running)
(gdb)

(gdb)
Breakpoint 1, thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:87
87 usleep (1); /* Loop increment. */
The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.
It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":
...
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...
The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.
I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in
"Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"
but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.

This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors

etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

This patch implements documentation updates for target remote mode fork and
exec events. A summary of the rationale for the changes made here:
* Connecting to a remote target -- explain that the two protocols exist.
* Connecting in target remote mode -- explain invoking gdbserver for target
remote mode, and move remote-specific text from original "Connecting to a
remote target" section.
* Connecting in target extended-remote mode -- promote this section from
"Using the gdbserver Program | Running gdbserver | Multi-Process Mode for
gdbserver". Put it next to the target remote mode section.
* Host and target files -- collect paragraphs dealing with how to locate
symbol files from original sections "Connecting to a remote target" and
"Using the gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver".
* Steps for connecting to a remote target -- used to be "Using the
gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver"
* Remote connection commands -- used to be the bulk of "Connecting to a
remote target". Added "target extended-remote" commands and information.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Announce fork and exec event support for target remote.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Forks): Correct Linux kernel version where
fork and exec events are supported, add notes about support
of these events in target remote mode.
(Connecting): Reorganize and clarify distinctions between
target remote, extended-remote, and multiprocess.
Reorganize related text from separate sections into new
sections.
(Server): Note effects of target extended-remote mode.
Delete section on Multi-Process Mode for gdbserver.
Move some text to "Connecting" node.
This set of patches add support for the zero-padded hexadecimal format for
varobj's, defined as "zero-hexadecimal". We currently only support regular
non-zero-padded hexadecimal.
Talking with IDE developers, they would like to have this option that is
already available to GDB's print/x commands, in the CLI, as 'z'.

Testing with "maint set target-non-stop on" causes regressions in
tests that rely on TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which isn't modelled on
the RSP. In real all-stop, gdbserver detects the situation and
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.
This adds a new "N" stop reply packet that maps 1-1 to
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED.

* gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: Remove setup_kfail calls.
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.

There's currently no non-stop equivalent of the all-stop ^C (\003)
"packet" that GDB sends when a ctrl-c is pressed while a foreground
command is active. There's vCont;t, but that's defined to cause a
"signal 0" stop.
This fixes many tests that type ^C, when testing with extended-remote

* gdb.texinfo (Process Record and Replay): Document "record

Record targets behave as if scheduler-locking were on in replay mode. Add a
new scheduler-locking option "replay" to make this implicit behaviour explicit.
It behaves like "on" in replay mode and like "off" in record mode.
By making the current behaviour a scheduler-locking option, we allow the user
to change it. Since it is the current behaviour, this new option is also
the new default.
One caveat is that when resuming a thread that is at the end of its execution
history, record btrace implicitly stops replaying other threads and resumes
the entire process. This is a convenience feature to not require the user
to explicitly move all other threads to the end of their execution histories
before being able to resume the process.
We mimick this behaviour with scheduler-locking replay and move it from
record-btrace into infrun. With all-stop on top of non-stop, we can't do
this in record-btrace anymore.
Record full does not really support multi-threading and is therefore not
impacted. If it were extended to support multi-threading, it would 'benefit'
from this change. The good thing is that all record targets will behave the
same with respect to scheduler-locking.
I put the code for this into clear_proceed_status. It also sends the
about_to_proceed notification.

I think it would be a good idea to document that gdb now has (basic)
support to read/write memory on architectures with non-8-bits memory.
Hopefully somebody will see it and say "Hey! We can now (more easily)
port GDB to our strange DSP that has 32-bits-addressable memory!" and do
it.

This finally implements user-visible all-stop mode running with the
target_ops backend always in non-stop mode. This is a stepping stone
towards finer-grained control of threads, being able to do interesting
things like thread groups, associating groups with breakpoints, etc.
From the user's perspective, all-stop mode is really just a special
case of being able to stop and resume specific sets of threads, so it
makes sense to do this step first.
With this, even in all-stop, the target is no longer in charge of
stopping all threads before reporting an event to the core -- the core
takes care of it when it sees fit. For example, when "next"- or
"step"-ing, we can avoid stopping and resuming all threads at each
internal single-step, and instead only stop all threads when we're
about to present the stop to the user.
The implementation is almost straight forward, as the heavy lifting
has been done already in previous patches. Basically, we replace
checks for "set non-stop on/off" (the non_stop global), with calls to
a new target_is_non_stop_p function. In a few places, if "set
non-stop off", we stop all threads explicitly, and in a few other
places we resume all threads explicitly, making use of existing
methods that were added for teaching non-stop to step over breakpoints
without displaced stepping.
This adds a new "maint set target-non-stop on/off/auto" knob that
allows both disabling the feature if we find problems, and
force-enable it for development (useful when teaching a target about
this. The default is "auto", which means the feature is enabled if a
new target method says it should be enabled. The patch implements the
method in linux-nat.c, just for illustration, because it still returns
false. We'll need a few follow up fixes before turning it on by
default. This is a separate target method from indicating regular
non-stop support, because e.g., while e.g., native linux-nat.c is
close to regression free with all-stop-non-stop (with following
patches will fixing the remaining regressions), remote.c+gdbserver
will still need more fixing, even though it supports "set non-stop
on".
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, with and without "set displaced
off", and with and without "maint set target-non-stop on"; and also
against gdbserver.

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment
variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its
history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

* gdb.base/gdbhistsize-history.exp: New test.
The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

We previously specified a few known register groups for the 'tui reg'
command. Other register groups could be accessed, but only by using the
'tui reg next' command and cycling through all the groups.
This commit removes the hard coded sub-commands of 'tui reg' and instead
adds dynamic completion of sub-commands based on the architecturally
defined register groups, giving immediate access to all available
register groups.
There is still the 'next' and 'prev' commands for cycling through the
register groups if that's wanted.
The new code maintains the ability to only enter partial names for
register groups, which is something we got for free when using the
standard sub-command mechanism.
The register (and register group) completer has been changed to use
get_current_arch rather than using the architecture of the currently
selected frame. When the target is running, this is equivalent,
however, when the target is not running, using get_current_arch will
provide results from the default architecture.

executable and shared library files when attaching to processes
running in containers on GNU/Linux systems.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Announce support for direct access of executable and
shared library files when attaching to inferiors in containers
on GNU/Linux systems.
This commit allows GDB to access executables and shared libraries
on remote targets where the remote stub does not share a common
filesystem with the inferior(s). A new packet "vFile:setfs" is
added to the remote protocol and the three remote hostio functions
with filename arguments are modified to send "vFile:setfs" packets
as necessary.

Intel(R) Memory protection bound information are located in register
to be tested using the MPX new instructions. Since the number of
bound registers are limited a table is used to provide storage for
bounds during run-time.
In order to investigate the contents of the MPX bound table two new
commands are added to GDB. "show mpx bound" and "set mpx bound" are
used to display and set values on the MPX bound table.

It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

The "info dll", an alias of the "info sharedlibrary" command, is
currently only defined in windows native versions. This patch makes
it universally available by moving the alias declaration to solib.c,
and adjusts the documentation accordingly.
Making it universally available has two benefits:
- Windows users moving to a Unix platforms are still able to use
the same command for getting the list of shared libraries;
- Unix to Windows cross debuggers now provide that command also.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* solib.c (_initialize_solib): Add "info dll" alias creation.

This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately.
With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.
bash$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...
One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
the main executable if no main executable is open already.
All callers updated.
* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Connecting to a Remote Target): Mention that
GDB can access program files from remote targets that support
qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing
the main executable over the remote protocol.
This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote
protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that
was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for
this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is
implemented using it.
gdb/ChangeLog:

qSupported features. Document the qXfer:exec-file:read packet.
This commit updates exec_file_locate_attach to use exec_file_find
to compute the full pathname of the main executable in some cases.
The net effect of this is that the main executable's path will be
prefixed with gdb_sysroot in the same way that shared library paths
currently are.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* exec.c (solist.h): New include.
(exec_file_locate_attach): Prefix absolute executable
paths with gdb_sysroot if set.
* NEWS: Mention that executable paths may be prepended
with sysroot.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (set sysroot): Document that "set sysroot" also
applies to executable paths if supplied to GDB as absolute.
Pedro Alves:
The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

This commit adds a new packet "vFile:fstat:" to the remote protocol
that can be used by to retrieve information about files that have
been previously opened using vFile:open. vFile:fstat: support is
added to GDB, and remote_bfd_iovec_stat is implemented using it. If
vFile:fstat: is not supported by the remote GDB creates a dummy result
by zeroing the supplied stat structure and setting its st_size field
to INT_MAX. This mimics GDB's previous behaviour, with the exception
that GDB did not previously zero the structure so all other fields
would have been returned unchanged, which is to say very likely
populated with random values from the stack.

This adjusts target remote to tell the core whether a trap was caused
by a breakpoint.
To that end, the patch teaches GDB about new RSP stop reasons "T05
swbreak" and "T05 hwbreak", that remote targets report back to GDB,
similarly to how "T05 watch" indicates a stop caused by a watchpoint.
Because targets that can report these events are expected to
themselves adjust the PC after a software breakpoint, these new stop
reasons must only be reported if the stub is talking to a GDB that
understands them. Because of that, the use of the new stop reasons
needs to be handshaked on initial connection, using the qSupported
mechanism. GDB simply sends "swbreak+" in its qSupports query, and
the stub reports back "swbreak+" too.
Because these new stop reasons are required to fix a fundamental
non-stop mode problem, this commit extends the remote non-stop intro
section in the manual, documenting the events as required.
To be clear, GDB will still cope with remote targets that don't
support these new stop reasons; it will behave just like today.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

* NEWS: Announce the support for DTrace SDT probes.
Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user. The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.
The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size. The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.
Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful. A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour. A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.

downstream Fedora request:
Please make it easier to find the backtrace of the crashing thread
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1024504
Currently after loading a core file GDB prints:
Core was generated by `./threadcrash1'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
8 *(volatile int *)0=0;
(gdb) _
there is nowhere seen which of the threads had crashed. In reality GDB always
numbers that thread as #1 and it is the current thread that time. But after
dumping all the info into a file for later analysis it is no longer obvious.
'thread apply all bt' even puts the thread #1 to the _end_ of the output!!!
I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number. Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage. Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

No objection to sorting the list, but if thread #1 is the important one,
then a concern could be it'll have scrolled off the screen (such a
concern has been voiced in another thread in another context),
and if not lost (say it's in an emacs buffer) one would still have
to scroll back to see it.
So one *could* still want #1 to be last.
Do we want an option to choose the sort direction?

clear_symtab_users calls breakpoint_re_set before
observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL), and thus symbol lookup
done during breakpoint_re_set will see a stale cache.
Presumably we just need to move the call to observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL)
to before breakpoint_re_set, but need to check for other such issues,
and 7.9 is scheduled to branch tomorrow.

This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

ABRT has directory /var/cache/abrt-di/ as an alternative one
to /usr/lib/debug/ . Therefore ABRT needs to use -iex parameters to add this

This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I

By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads
it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command.
What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the
desired threads and then just do "continue".
This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this.
Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue".
That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject
any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal"
just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it.
"nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which
"queue-signal" doesn't do.
One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to
deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command. I have no current
need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have
left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one
tries to queue a nopass signal.

Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several
different but related scenarios.
E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread
2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread
2, not thread 1. This obviously messes up programs that use
pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads.
This has been a known issue for a long while. Back in 2008 when I
made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see
code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later.
The time has finally come now.
The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always
delivered to the thread that had intercepted them.
Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches
to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually
delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches
to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint... If the user deletes the
breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered
to thread 2 (the current thread).
"signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the
program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing
"handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had
stopped for. These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin,
and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do. GDB might
have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new
signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test). At least in the
inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver
the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the
command's behavior consistent and easy to explain.
Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program
had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had
changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with:
(gdb) continue
Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO.
(gdb) thread 2
(gdb) signal SIGBAR
... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2
(with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then
"signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads).
So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation:
(gdb) thread 1
[Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)]
(gdb) signal SIGUSR2
Note:
Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2.
Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will
still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads.
Continue anyway? (y or n)
All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.
With the patch, we now can have this instead:
(gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
*gdb disconnects*
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.
Before:
(gdb) target native
Use the "run" command to start a native process.
After:
(gdb) target native
Done. Use the "run" command to start a process.
(gdb) maint print target-stack
The current target stack is:
- native (Native process)
- exec (Local exec file)
- None (None)
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./a.out
...
I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core
On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:
have_inferiors (void)
{
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
if (inf->pid != 0)
return 1;
It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.
Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.
Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.
Untested otherwise.

* NEWS: Mention that the "child", "GNU, "djgpp", "darwin-child"

This does two things:
1. Adds a test.
Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.
2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.
Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.
I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

This patch adds support for the Intel(R) Advanced Vector
Extensions 512 (Intel(R) AVX-512) registers. Native and remote
debugging are covered by this patch.
Intel(R) AVX-512 is an extension to AVX to support 512-bit wide
SIMD registers in 64-bit mode (XMM0-XMM31, YMM0-YMM31, ZMM0-ZMM31).
The number of available registers in 32-bit mode is still 8
(XMM0-7, YMM0-7, ZMM0-7). The lower 256-bits of the ZMM registers
are aliased to the respective 256-bit YMM registers. The lower
128-bits are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers.
There are also 8 new, dedicated mask registers (K0-K7) in both 32-bit
mode and 64-bit mode.

The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:
(gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 No C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").
As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.
But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.
Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:
(gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
(gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
[...]
0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 Yes (*) C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
This patch therefore deprecates the "dll-symbols" command, as well

Currently, Ada debugging requires the use of certain GNAT-specific
encodings, which are generated by the compiler. These encodings
were created a long time ago to work around the fairly limited
capabilities of the stabs debugging format. With DWARF, the vast
majority of the encodings could be abandoned in favor of a pure
DWARF approach.
In order to make it easier to evaluate the quality of the DWARF
debugging information generated by the compiler, and how the debugger
handles it, we are introducing a small Ada-specific maintenance
setting which changes the debugger's behavior to ignore descriptive
types. Descriptive types are artificial types generated by the
compiler purely to give the debugger hints as to how to properly
decode certain properties of a type. For instance, for array
types, it generates a parallel type whose name is the name of
the array suffixed with ___XA, whose contents tells us what
the array's index type is, and possibly its bounds. See GCC's
gcc/ada/exp_dbug.ads for the full description of all encodings.
This is only a first step, as this setting does not deactivate
all encodings; More settings dedicated to each type of encoding
will likely be implemented in the future, as we make progress.

This patch adds a news entry about improvements in record-replay and
reverse debugging support for arm*-linux* targets.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2014-01-15 Omair Javaid <omair.javaid@linaro.org>
* NEWS: Add note on improved process record-replay on
arm*-linux* targets.
Consider the following declarations:
typedef long our_time_t;
our_time_t current_time = 1384395743;
The purpose of this patch is to allow the use of a pretty-printer
for variables of type our_time_t. Normally, pretty-printing sniffers
use the tag name in order to determine which, if any, pretty-printer
should be used. But in the case above, the tag name is not set, since
it does not apply to integral types.
This patch extends the gdb.Type list of attributes to also include
the name of the type, thus allowing the sniffer to match against
that name. With that change, I was able to write a pretty-printer
which displays our variable as follow:
(gdb) print current_time

Tested on x86_64-linux.
This commit implements the needed bits for SystemTap SDT probe support
on AArch64 architectures.
First, I started by looking at AArch64 assembly specification and
filling the necessary options on gdbarch's stap machinery in order to
make the generic asm parser (implemented in stap-probe.c) recognize
AArch64's asm.
After my last patch for the SystemTap SDT API, which extends it in order
to accept multiple prefixes and suffixes, this patch became simpler. I
also followed Marcus suggestion and did not shared code between 32- and
64-bit ARM.
Tom asked me in a previous message how I did my tests. I believe I
replied that, but just in case: I ran the tests on
gdb.base/stap-probe.exp by hand. I also managed to run the tests on
real hardware, and they pass without regressions.

... when trying to execute an undefined GDB/MI command. When trying
to execute a GDB/MI command which does not exist, the current error
result record looks like this:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported"
The only indication that the command does not exist is the error
message. It would be a little fragile for a consumer to rely solely
on the contents of the error message in order to determine whether
a command exists or not.
This patch improves the situation by adding concept of error
code, starting with one well-defined error code ("undefined-command")
identifying errors due to a non-existant command. Here is the new
output:
-unsupported
^error,msg="Undefined MI command: unsupported",code="undefined-command"
This error code is only displayed when the corresponding error
condition is met. Otherwise, the error record remains unchanged.
For instance:
-symbol-list-lines foo.adb
^error,msg="-symbol-list-lines: Unknown source file name."
For frontends to be able to know whether they can rely on this
variable, a new entry "undefined-command-error-code" has been
added to the "-list-features" command. Another option would be
to always generate an error="..." variable (for the default case,
we could decide for instance that the error code is the empty string).
But it seems more efficient to provide that info in "-list-features"
and then only add the error code when meaningful.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-undefined-cmd.exp: New testcase.
This patch adds a new GDB/MI command meant for graphical frontends
trying to determine whether a given GDB/MI command exists or not.
Examples:
-info-gdb-mi-command unsupported-command
^done,command={exists="false"}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true"}
(gdb)
At the moment, this is the only piece of information that this
command returns.
Eventually, and if needed, we can extend it to provide
command-specific pieces of information, such as updates to
the command's syntax since inception. This could become,
for instance:
-info-gdb-mi-command symbol-list-lines
^done,command={exists="true",features=[]}
(gdb)
-info-gdb-mi-command catch-assert
^done,command={exists="true",features=["conditions"]}
In the first case, it would mean that no extra features,
while in the second, it announces that the -catch-assert
command in this version of the debugger supports a feature
called "condition" - exact semantics to be documented with
combined with the rest of the queried command's documentation.
But for now, we start small, and only worry about existance.
And to bootstrap the process, I have added an entry in the
output of the -list-features command as well ("info-gdb-mi-command"),
allowing the graphical frontends to go through the following process:
1. Send -list-features, collect info from there as before;
2. Check if the output contains "info-gdb-mi-command".
If it does, then support for various commands can be
queried though -info-gdb-mi-command. Newer commands
will be expected to always be checked via this new
-info-gdb-mi-command.

Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add
TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new
option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by
using the target memory cache.
In V4:
- Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc.
- Replace "ON" with "on" in doc.
- "access" -> "accesses".
In V3:
- Rename functions and variables.
- Update command help, doc and NEWS entry.
- Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with
the behaviour of "stack-cache". Since cache invalidation is
transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache"
transitions cause code cache invalidation.
V2 was reviewed by Doug. There are some changes in V3, so I post it
here.

Frontend sometimes need to evaluate expressions that are
language-specific. For instance, Eclipse uses the following
expression to determine the size of an address on the target:
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
Unfortunately, if the main of the program being debugged is not C,
this may not work. For instance, if the main is in Ada, you get...
-data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
^error,msg="No definition of \"sizeof\" in current context."
... and apparently decides to stop the debugging session as a result.
The recommendation sent was to specifically set the language to C
before trying to evaluate the expression. Something such as:
1. save current language
2. set language c
3. -data-evaluate-expression "sizeof (void*)"
4. Restore language
This has the same disadvantages as the ones outlined in the "Context
Management" section of the GDB/MI documentation regarding setting
the current thread or the current frame, thus recommending the use of
general command-line switches such as --frame, or --thread instead.
This patch follows the same steps for the language, adding a similar
new command option: --language LANG. Example of use:
-data-evaluate-expression --language c "sizeof (void*)"
^done,value="4"

Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being
able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to
start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem
is actually with the user's shell setup.
GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs.
That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0
in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays).
This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be
useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in
handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you
don't have a different shell handy).

This patch adds documentation for the new GDB/MI commands "-catch-assert"
and "-catch-exception", meant to provide the same functionality as
the "catch assert", "catch exception" and "catch exception unhandled"
CLI commands.
In the GDB Manual, there was already a section for catchpoint comments,
so that seemed like a natural place to document the new commands. But
commands related to a given concept seem to have traditionally been
organized alphabetically, and I didn't want future commands to break
down logical pairing of various commands. For instance, "-catch-load"
and "-catch-unload" are quite "distant" from each other, and it is easy
to imagine a new comment which would alphabetically fall in between,
causing them to be separated. So I introduced subsections to prevent
that from happening.

* NEWS: Add entry documenting the new "-catch-assert" and
"-catch-exception" GDB/MI commands.

This patch renames the "set/show remotebaud" commands into
"set/show serial baud", and moves its implementation into serial.c.
It also moves the "baud_rate" global from top.c to serial.c, where

of target.h).
And to facilitate the transition to the new setting name, this
patch also preserves the old commands, and marks them as deprecated
to alert the users of the change.

will hold the signal number when the inferior terminates due to the
uncaught signal.
I've made modifications on infrun.c:handle_inferior_event such that
$_exitcode gets cleared when the inferior signalled, and vice-versa.
This assumption was made because the variables are mutually
exclusive, i.e., when the inferior terminates because of an uncaught
signal it is not possible for it to return. I have also made modifications
such that when a corefile is loaded, $_exitsignal gets set to the uncaught
signal that "killed" the inferior, and $_exitcode is cleared.
The patch also adds a NEWS entry, documentation bits, and a testcase. The
documentation entry explains how to use $_exitsignal and $_exitcode in a
GDB script, by making use of the new $_isvoid convenience function.

Currently, in some scenarios, GDB prints <optimized out> when printing
outer frame registers. An <optimized out> register is a confusing
concept. What this really means is that the register is
call-clobbered, or IOW, not saved by the callee. This patch makes GDB
say that instead.
Before patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax $1 = <optimized out>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <optimized out>
After patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax
$1 = <not saved>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <not saved>
However, if for some reason the debug info describes a variable as
being in such a register (**), we still want to print <optimized out>
when printing the variable. IOW, <not saved> is reserved for
inspecting registers at the machine level. The patch uses
lval_register+optimized_out to encode the not saved registers, and
makes it so that optimized out variables always end up in
!lval_register values.
** See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00787.html>.
Current/recent enough GCC doesn't mark variables/arguments as being in
call-clobbered registers in the ranges corresponding to function
calls, while older GCCs did. Newer GCCs will just not say where the
variable is, so GDB will end up realizing the variable is optimized
out.
frame_unwind_got_optimized creates not_lval optimized out registers,
so by default, in most cases, we'll see <optimized out>.
value_of_register is the function eval.c uses for evaluating
OP_REGISTER (again, $pc, etc.), and related bits. It isn't used for
anything else. This function makes sure to return lval_register
values. The patch makes "info registers" and the MI equivalent use it
too. I think it just makes a lot of sense, as this makes it so that
when printing machine registers ($pc, etc.), we go through a central
function.
We're likely to need a different encoding at some point, if/when we
support partially saved registers. Even then, I think
value_of_register will still be the spot to tag the intention to print
machine register values differently.
value_from_register however may also return optimized out
lval_register values, so at a couple places where we're computing a
variable's location from a dwarf expression, we convert the resulting
value away from lval_register to a regular optimized out value.

This patch adds a new convenience function called $_isvoid, whose
only purpose is to check whether an expression is void or not.
This became necessary because the new convenience variable
$_exitsignal (not yet approved) has a mutual exclusive behavior
with $_exitcode, i.e., when one is "defined" (i.e., non-void),
the other is cleared (i.e., becomes void). Doug wanted a way to
identify which variable to use, and checking for voidness is the
obvious solution.
It is worth mentioning that my first attempt, after a conversation with
Doug, was to actually implement a new $_isdefined() convenience
function. I would do that (for convenience variables) by calling
lookup_only_internalvar. However, I found a few problems:
- Whenever I called $_isdefined ($variable), $variable became defined
(with a void value), and $_isdefined always returned true.
- Then, I tried to implement $_isdefined ("variable"), and do the "$" +
"variable" inside GDB, thus making it impossible for GDB to create the
convenience variable. However, it was hard to extract the string
without having to mess with values and their idiossincrasies.
Therefore, I decided to abandon this attempt (specially because I
didn't want to spend too much time struggling with it).
Anyway, after talking to Doug again we decided that it would be easier
to implement $_isvoid, and this will probably help in cases like
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3744554/testing-if-a-gdb-convenience-variable-is-defined>.
I wrote a NEWS entry for it, and some new lines on the documentation.

This is the patch to add new option '--skip-unavailable' to MI
commands '-stack-list-{locals, arguments, variables}'. This patch
extends list_args_or_locals to add a new parameter 'skip_unavailable',
and don't list locals or arguments if values are unavailable and
'skip_unavailable' is true.
This is inspecting a trace frame (tfind mode), where only a few
locals have been collected.
-stack-list-locals, no switch vs new switch:
-stack-list-locals --simple-values
^done,locals=[{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"},{name="i",type="int",value="<unavailable>"}]
-stack-list-locals --skip-unavailable --simple-values
^done,locals=[{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"}]
-stack-list-arguments, no switch vs new switch:
-stack-list-arguments --simple-values
^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="j",type="int",value="4"},{name="s",type="char *",value="<unavailable>"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]
-stack-list-arguments --skip-unavailable --simple-values
^done,stack-args=[frame={level="0",args=[{name="j",type="int",value="4"}]},frame={level="1",args=[]}]
-stack-list-variables, no switch vs new switch:
-stack-list-variables --simple-values
^done,variables=[{name="j",arg="1",type="int",value="4"},{name="s",arg="1",type="char *",value="<unavailable>"},{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"},{name="i",type="int",value="<unavailable>"}]
-stack-list-variables --skip-unavailable --simple-values
^done,variables=[{name="j",arg="1",type="int",value="4"},{name="array",type="unsigned char [2]"}]
tests are added to test these new options.

This patch adds support for range stepping to GDBserver, teaching it
about vCont;r.
It'd be easy to enable this for all hardware single-step targets
without needing the linux_target_ops hook, however, at least PPC needs
special care, due to the fact that PPC atomic sequences can't be
hardware single-stepped through, a thing which GDBserver doesn't know
about. So this leaves the support limited to x86/x86_64.

This patch teaches GDB to take advantage of target-assisted range
stepping. It adds a new 'r ADDR1,ADDR2' action to vCont (vCont;r),
meaning, "step once, and keep stepping as long as the thread is in the
[ADDR1,ADDR2) range".
Rationale:
When user issues the "step" command on the following line of source,
a = b + c + d * e - a;
GDB single-steps every single instruction until the program reaches a
new different line. E.g., on x86_64, that line compiles to:
0x08048434 <+65>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
0x08048438 <+69>: mov 0x30(%esp),%edx
0x0804843c <+73>: add %eax,%edx
0x0804843e <+75>: mov 0x18(%esp),%eax
0x08048442 <+79>: imul 0x2c(%esp),%eax
0x08048447 <+84>: add %edx,%eax
0x08048449 <+86>: sub 0x34(%esp),%eax
0x0804844d <+90>: mov %eax,0x34(%esp)
0x08048451 <+94>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
and the following is the RSP traffic between GDB and GDBserver:
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3c840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:1;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3e840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:42840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:47840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:49840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:4d840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
IOW, a lot of roundtrips between GDB and GDBserver.
If we add a new command to the RSP, meaning "keep stepping and don't
report a stop until the program goes out of the [0x08048434,
0x08048451) address range", then the RSP traffic can be reduced down
to:
--> vCont;r8048434,8048451:p2db0.2db0;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2db0.2db0;core:1;
As number of packets is reduced dramatically, the performance of
stepping source lines is much improved.
In case something is wrong with range stepping on the stub side, the
debug info or even gdb, this adds a "set/show range-stepping" command
to be able to turn range stepping off.
