With the growing number of selftests, I think it would be useful to be
able to run only a subset of the tests. This patch associates a name to
each registered selftest. It then allows doing something like:
(gdb) maintenance selftest aarch64
Running self-tests.
Running selftest aarch64-analyze-prologue.
Running selftest aarch64-process-record.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
or with gdbserver:
./gdbserver --selftest=aarch64
In both cases, only the tests that contain "aarch64" in their name are
ran. To help validate that the tests you want to run were actually ran,
it also prints a message with the test name before running each test.
Right now, all the arch-dependent tests are registered as a single test
of the selftests. To be able to filter those too, I made them
"first-class citizen" selftests. The selftest type is an interface,
with different implementations for "simple selftests" and "arch
selftests". The run_tests function simply iterates on that an invokes
operator() on each test.
I changed the tests data structure from a vector to a map, because
- it allows iterating in a stable (alphabetical) order
- it allows to easily verify if a test with a given name has been
registered, to avoid duplicates
There's also a new command "maintenance info selftests" that lists the
registered selftests.

This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

How to use compile & execute function in GDB
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00026.html
GDB currently searches for compilers on /usr/bin/ARCH-OS-gcc and
chooses a match from there. However, it is not currently possible for
the user to override which compiler to use. This is what this patch
implements.
It is also a sync between GCC's and GDB's interfaces.

The M7 processor supports an Application Data Integrity (ADI) feature
that detects invalid data accesses. When software allocates data, it
chooses a 4-bit version number, sets the version in the upper 4 bits
of the 64-bit pointer to that data, and stores the 4-bit version in
every cacheline of the object. Hardware saves the latter in spare
bits in the cache and memory hierarchy. On each load and store, the
processor compares the upper 4 VA (virtual address) bits to the
cacheline's version. If there is a mismatch, the processor generates a
version mismatch trap which can be either precise or disrupting. The
trap is an error condition which the kernel delivers to the process as
a SIGSEGV signal.
The upper 4 bits of the VA represent a version and are not part of the
true address. The processor clears these bits and sign extends bit 59
to generate the true address.
Note that 32-bit applications cannot use ADI.
This patch adds ADI support in gdb which allows the user to examine
current version tags and assign new version tags in the program. It
also catches and reports precise or disrupting memory corruption
traps.

The rot agent expression bytecode rotates the three items on the top of
the stack. It is not clear which way the rotation is. However, the
documentation currently shows this as the effect of the instructions:
a b c => c b a
which doesn't make sense, since the value b doesn't move. The two
valid possibilities I see are
a b c => b c a
a b c => c a b
depending on which way you rotate.
When looking at the gdbserver code, the top of the stack becomes the
third item, and the next-to-top item becomes the top. So the second
form would be the right one, since in this notation the top of the stack
is the rightmost element:
a b c => c a b

Nowadays, we need two steps to print c files for xml target description,
that is, 1) read xml target description in, update the current tdesc,
2) visit the current tdesc, print the c file. It is unnecessary to
involve in current tdesc, and some validations in each gdbarch are
performed unnecessarily, which will reject some target descriptions if
they are missing some mandatory feature.
This patch adds an optional argument to "maint print c-tdesc", which
is an XML file target description, so that we can combine the two
steps above into one step, and don't have to involve in global current
tdesc.

I helped someone figure out why their separate debug info (debug
link-based) was not found by gdb. It turns out that the debug file was
not named properly. It made me realize that it is quite difficult to
diagnose this kind of problems. This patch adds some debug output to
show where GDB looks for those files, so that it should be (more)
obvious to find what's wrong.
Here's an example of the result, first with an example of unsuccessful lookup,
and then a successful one.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

Add mention of the vMustReplyEmpty to the remote serial protocol
documentation. It is important that this packet be treated in the same
fashion as any other unknown 'v' packet, and I have tried to reflect
this in the description of the packet, it is not simply the case that we
_must_ return the empty string for this packet.
As the intention is that we should treat this packet as unknown then an
argument could be made that we should not document it, however, for
someone implementing a gdbserver from scratch, seeing an undocumented
packet arrive from gdb is confusing, and will probably cause them to
have to read the code in order to check how this packet should be
handled, which is not ideal.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Packets): Document vMustReplyEmpty packet.
Due to my ongoing work to make it possible for gdbserver to start the
inferior using the shell, I had to share the fork_inferior function
under the "nat/" directory. In order to do that, I created a new file
and put the function there; however, this meant that I now had to
update some of the *.mh files (under "gdb/config") and add the new
file as a dependency to be built natively. Bleh...
After talking a bit to Pedro about this, the idea came up to write a
new "gdb/configure.nat" file, a la "gdb/configure.tgt", which would
concentrate all of the native settings for each host/system. I
decided to tackle this issue.
The patch is simple. All of the previous Makefile variables that were
being declared inside the *.mh files are now inside "gdb/Makefile.in",
and "gdb/configure" is responsible for AC_SUBST'ing them. The
definitions of these variables were put inside "gdb/configure.nat", so
now they're shell variables. For excerpts of Makefile code, one must
create a file under "gdb/config/${gdb_cpu_host}" and reference it on
the "nat_extra_makefile_frag" variable.
It should now be easier to update the native dependencies of hosts in
this single file.
This has been tested on x86_64 without regressions.

As discussed here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-04/msg00157.html
A gap is not an instruction and it should not pretend to be one.
gdb.Record.instruction_history is now a list of gdb.RecordInstruction and
gdb.RecordGap objects. This allows the user to deal with Gaps in the record
in a more sane way.
I noticed that the documentation on how the info about threads is output
in MI is duplicated and not up to date. The duplication is between the
"GDB/MI Thread Information" page and the -thread-info result
description.
I improved the "GDB/MI Thread Information" page a bit and referred to it
in the -thread-info doc. This way, the -thread-info doc is more precise
(it did not mention the "threads" and "current-thread-id" attributes)
and concise.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Thread Information): Add missing
fields, re-word some things.
(GDB/MI Thread Commands): Describe fields found in the output of
-thread-info, remove description of fields in the
thread output tuple, replace with a cross-reference to "GDB/MI
Thread Information".
The MI documentation says that -thread-info output contains a "current"
field in the current thread tuple, with the value "*". Current GDB
master does not do this, and I couldn't find any GDB version that did.
I suspect that it was never the case.
The code that would correspond to this in print_thread_info_1 is
essentially dead code. The calls to uiout->text end up in
mi_out::do_text, which is empty.
This patch removes the documentation bit and the dead code. This
"current" field is not necessary, since -thread-info outputs a
"current-thread-id" field.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* thread.c (print_thread_info_1): Remove dead code.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Thread Commands): Remove "current" field

Add disassembler helper for GDB, that uses opcodes structure arc_instruction
and adds convenience functions to handle instruction operands. This interface
solves at least those problems with arc_instruction:
* Some instructions, like "push_s", have implicit operands which are not
directly present in arc_instruction.
* Operands of particular meaning, like branch/jump targets, have various
locations and meaning depending on type of branch/target.
* Access to operand value is abstracted into a separate function, so callee
code shouldn't bother if operand value is an immediate value or in a
register.
Testcases included in this commit are fairly limited - they test exclusively
branch instructions, something that will be used in software single stepping.
Most of the other parts of this disassembler helper are tested during prologue
analysis testing.

This changes the return type of "gdb.BtraceInstruction.data ()" from

This patch adds tests for the initial rvalue reference support patchset. All
of the new tests are practically mirrored regular references tests and, except
for the demangler ones, are introduced in new files, which are set to be
compiled with -std=gnu++11. Tested are printing of rvalue reference types and
values, rvalue reference parameters in function overloading, demangling of
function names containing rvalue reference parameters, casts to rvalue
reference types, application of the sizeof operator to rvalue reference types
and values, and support for rvalue references within the gdb python module.

This patch adds the ability to inspect rvalue reference types and values using
the gdb python module. This is achieved by creating two wrappers for
valpy_reference_value(), using the ReferenceExplorer class to handle the

code.

This patch initializes the BND registers before executing the inferior
call. BND registers can be in arbitrary values at the moment of the
inferior call. In case the function being called uses as part of the
parameters BND register, e.g. when passing a pointer as parameter, the
current value of the register will be used. This can cause boundary
violations that are not due to a real bug or even desired by the user.
In this sense the best to be done is set the BND registers to allow
access to the whole memory, i.e. initialized state, before pushing the
inferior call.

changes might have been made by the previous command. For example, in
my GUI I use this to track changes to the selected frame and reflect
them in the UI.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

This fairly obvious patch adds usage text to the load command's help text.
Originally it did not have usage and mentioned things like FILE and OFFSET
without explaining how those should be passed in the command.

Currently, the breakpoint documentation refers to some commands taking breakpoint
"ranges" as arguments. We discussed this with Pedro and concluded that it would
be more accurate to speak in terms of breakpoint "lists", whose elements can optionally
be ranges. I also fixed a couple of minor mistakes in the docs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Update the help description
of the 'commands' command to indicate that it takes a list argument.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Breakpoints): Reword documentation to speak in terms of
space-separated breakpoint lists. Also add a missing @table command
and @cindex for breakpoint lists.
