These comments are out of date -- we no longer call gdb_readline. And

whatever GO32 issue had with gdb_readline, which may even no longer be
an issue.

On powerpc64, "disassemble foo" doesn't work properly on object files
(it can't process the relocations in .opd section) - instead, let's
link it into an executable and load that.
Also, backtrace displays .main, not main. Accept both.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/entry-values.exp: Link ${binfile}1.o to ${binfile}1 and
use it for disassembly; accept .main in addition to main in backtrace.
tfind.exp sets a breakpoint on *gdb_recursion_test, which is the global
entry point on ppc64le, and won't be hit, since the call uses
the local entry. Fix by calling the function via a pointer in a global
variable, forcing use of the global entry.

powerpc (32-bit) loads shared libraries below the main executable, so

Previously, backchain was read as a signed quantity, resulting in
addresses like 0xfffffffffffeded0 instead of 0xfffeded0 returned by
unwinder on 32-bit powerpc. While normally such addresses are masked
off, this causes problems for tracepoints, since 0xfffffffffffeded0
is considered unavailable.

G++ in GCC 4.2 silently ignores

which leads to plugin_layout_with_alignment test failure with
Expected 12 sections, found 8 sections
since 4 .rodata sections are missing. As a workaround, this patch
changes plugin_layout_with_alignment test from C++ to C.

Functions compiled with the gcc option `-mhotpatch' may start with a
branch-never BRCL instruction as a 6-byte NOP. And functions compiled
with `-mstack-size' contain a BRC instruction in their prologue that is
actually a conditional trap. Both of these special jumps cause the
prologue parser to stop and yield bad unwinding results.
This change makes the prologue analyzer recognize such special jumps and
ignore them.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* s390-linux-tdep.c (s390_analyze_prologue): Ignore BRC and BRCL
instructions that do nothing or are conditional traps.
When determining the frame ID of an inline frame, GDB currently asserts
that a valid ID of the underlying real frame is found, and that it does
not match outer_frame_id. From inline_frame_this_id():
/* For now, require we don't match outer_frame_id either (see
comment above). */
gdb_assert (!frame_id_eq (*this_id, outer_frame_id));
However, this assertion may fail when the real frame's unwinder can not
determine the frame ID. This happened on an s390x target with a binary
that lacked call frame information and also confused the prologue
analyzer, because then s390_frame_this_id() left the frame ID at its
default.
To fix this, this change enhances s390_frame_this_id such that an
unavailable-stack frame ID is built if no frame base can be determined
but the function address is available.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* s390-linux-tdep.c (s390_prologue_frame_unwind_cache): Store
frame func's PC in info->func before any other failure can occur.
(s390_frame_this_id): Use frame_id_build_unavailable_stack if
info->func has been filled out.
It's not possible today to select some of the osabis by name.
Specifically, those that have spaces in their names and then the first
word is ambiguous...
For example:
(gdb) set osabi <TAB>
[...]
FreeBSD ELF
FreeBSD a.out
[...]
(gdb) set osabi FreeBSD ELF
Ambiguous item "FreeBSD ELF".
In reality, because "set osabi" is an enum command, that was
equivalent to trying "set osabi FreeBSD", which is then obviously
ambiguous, because of "FreeBSD ELF" and "FreeBSD a.out".
Also, even if the first word is not ambiguous, we actually ignore
whatever comes after the first word:
(gdb) set osabi GNU/Linux
(gdb) show osabi
The current OS ABI is "GNU/Linux".
The default OS ABI is "GNU/Linux".
(gdb) set osabi Windows SomeNonsense
^^^^^^^^^^^^
(gdb) show osabi
The current OS ABI is "Windows CE".
The default OS ABI is "GNU/Linux".
(gdb)
Fix this by avoiding spaces in osabi names.
We could instead make "set osabi" have a custom set hook, or
alternatively make the enum set hook (in cli-setshow.c) handle values
with spaces, but OTOH, I have a feeling that could cause trouble.
E.g., in cases where we might want to write more than one enum value
in the same line. We could support quoting as workaround, but, not
sure we want that. "No spaces" seems like a simpler rule.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* osabi.c (gdb_osabi_names): Avoid spaces in osabi names.
Even though "set architecture" presents fr300 as option:
(gdb) set architecture fr<TAB>
fr300 fr400 fr450 fr500 fr550 frv
Actually selecting fr300 doesn't work:
(gdb) set architecture fr300
Architecture `fr300' not recognized.
The target architecture is set automatically (currently i386)
(gdb)
This just looks like an obvious oversight. Looking around gcc and
binutils sources, FR300 is basically a FR500 specialized for DSP and
low power.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* frv-tdep.c (frv_gdbarch_init): Handle bfd_mach_fr300.
Currently, it's not possible to manually set some of the v850 archs in
gdb:
(gdb) set architecture v850<TAB>
v850 (using old gcc ABI)
v850-rh850
v850e
v850e (using old gcc ABI)
v850e1
[...]
(gdb) set architecture v850 (using old gcc ABI)
Ambiguous item "v850 (using old gcc ABI)".
The problem is that "set architecture" is a GDB "enum command", and
GDB only considers an enum value to be the string up until the first
space. So writing "v850 (using old gcc ABI)" is the same as writing
"v850", and then that's not an unambiguous arch printable name prefix.
v850 is actually the only arch that has spaces in its printable name.
One can conveniently see that with e.g.:
(gdb) set max-completions unlimited
(gdb) complete set architecture
...
Rather than hack GDB into accepting this somehow, make v850 arch
printable names more like the printable names of the other archs, and
put the abi variant in the "machine" part, after a ':'.
We now get:
(gdb) set architecture v850<TAB>
v850:old-gcc-abi
v850:rh850
v850e
v850e1
v850e1:old-gcc-abi
v850e2
v850e2:old-gcc-abi
[...]
And now "set architecture v850:old-gcc-abi" works as expected.
I ran the binutils/gas/ld testsuites, and found no regressions. I
don't have a cross compiler handy, but I ran the gdb tests anyway,
which covers at least some snoke testing.
I think that the OUTPUT_ARCH in ld/scripttempl/v850.sc may have got
broken with the previous 2012 change, since I hacked v850_rh850.sc to
output "v850" and ld failed to grok it. I think it only works if the
old GCC ABI is the configured v850 default ABI. That's now fixed by
changing to use explicit v850:old-gcc-abi.
Also, this actually "fixes" an existing GDB test, which isn't likewise
expecting spaces in arch names, when GDB is configured for
--target=v850:

Even if the target and host floating-point formats match, the length
of the types might still be different. On x86, long double is the
80-bit extended precision type on both 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs, but by
default it is stored as 12 bytes on 32-bit, and 16 bytes on 64-bit,
for alignment reasons. Several places in doublest.c already consider
this, but floatformat_to_doublest and floatformat_from_doublest miss
it. E.g., convert_typed_floating and store_typed_floating,

The trouble is that hppa_linux_init_abi overrides the default
long_double_bit set by the generic hppa-tdep.c:
set_gdbarch_long_double_bit (gdbarch, 128);
set_gdbarch_long_double_format (gdbarch, floatformats_ia64_quad);
with:
/* On hppa-linux, currently, sizeof(long double) == 8. There has been
some discussions to support 128-bit long double, but it requires some
more work in gcc and glibc first. */
set_gdbarch_long_double_bit (gdbarch, 64);
which misses overriding the long_double_format, so we end with a weird
combination of:
set_gdbarch_long_double_bit (gdbarch, 64);
set_gdbarch_long_double_format (gdbarch, floatformats_ia64_quad);
Weird because floatformats_ia64_quad's totalsize is longer than 64-bits.
The floatformat conversion routines use the struct floatformat's
totalsize (in bits) to know how much to copy/convert, thus the buffer
overruns.

This patch is a simple refactoring that will allow the MIPS backend to
replace the Output_data_reloc_base::do_write() method without copying
its entire implementation. I've moved the implementation of do_write()
into a function template, which can be instantiated with a custom
class to write the MIPS-specific relocation format. The custom class
for MIPS needs access to the symbol index and address from
Output_reloc, so I've included the part of Vlad's MIPS-64 patch that
makes those accessor methods public.

We already check whether info.abfd is NULL before all other
bfd_get_flavour calls in the same function. Just this one case was
missing.
(This was exposed by a WIP test that tries all "set architecture ARCH"
values.)

This is an initial attempt to introduce some mechanisms to identify
racy testcases present in our testsuite. As can be seen in previous
discussions, racy tests are really bothersome and cause our BuildBot
to pollute the gdb-testers mailing list with hundreds of
false-positives messages every month. Hopefully, identifying these
racy tests in advance (and automatically) will contribute to the
reduction of noise traffic to gdb-testers, maybe to the point where we
will be able to send the failure messages directly to the authors of
the commits.
I spent some time trying to decide the best way to tackle this
problem, and decided that there is no silver bullet. Racy tests are
tricky and it is difficult to catch them, so the best solution I could
find (for now?) is to run our testsuite a number of times in a row,
and then compare the results (i.e., the gdb.sum files generated during
each run). The more times you run the tests, the more racy tests you
are likely to detect (at the expense of waiting longer and longer).
You can also run the tests in parallel, which makes things faster (and
contribute to catching more racy tests, because your machine will have
less resources for each test and some of them are likely to fail when
this happens). I did some tests in my machine (8-core i7, 16GB RAM),
and running the whole GDB testsuite 5 times using -j6 took 23 minutes.
Not bad.
In order to run the racy test machinery, you need to specify the
RACY_ITER environment variable. You will assign a number to this
variable, which represents the number of times you want to run the
tests. So, for example, if you want to run the whole testsuite 3
times in parallel (using 2 cores), you will do:
make check RACY_ITER=3 -j2
It is also possible to use the TESTS variable and specify which tests
you want to run:
make check TEST='gdb.base/default.exp' RACY_ITER=3 -j2
And so on. The output files will be put at the directory
gdb/testsuite/racy_outputs/.
After make invokes the necessary rules to run the tests, it finally
runs a Python script that will analyze the resulting gdb.sum files.
This Python script will read each file, and construct a series of sets
based on the results of the tests (one set for FAIL's, one for
PASS'es, one for KFAIL's, etc.). It will then do some set operations
and come up with a list of unique, sorted testcases that are racy.
The algorithm behind this is:
for state in PASS, FAIL, XFAIL, XPASS...; do
if a test's state in every sumfile is $state; then
it is not racy
else
it is racy
(The algorithm is actually a bit more complex than that, because it
takes into account other things in order to decide whether the test
should be ignored or not).
IOW, a test must have the same state in every sumfile.
After processing everything, the script prints the racy tests it could
identify on stdout. I am redirecting this to a file named racy.sum.
Something else that I wasn't sure how to deal with was non-unique
messages in our testsuite. I decided to do the same thing I do in our
BuildBot: include a unique identifier in the end of message, like:
gdb.base/xyz.exp: non-unique message
gdb.base/xyz.exp: non-unique message <<2>>
This means that you will have to be careful about them when you use
the racy.sum file.
I ran the script several times here, and it did a good job catching
some well-known racy tests. Overall, I am satisfied with this
approach and I think it will be helpful to have it upstream'ed. I
also intend to extend our BuildBot and create new, specialized
builders that will be responsible for detecting the racy tests every X
number of days.
