Hi,
The following code snippet looks wrong to me
char *buf = rs->buf;
getpkt (&rs->buf, &rs->buf_size, 0);
packet_ok (buf, );
if rs->buf is reallocated in getpkt, buf points to an out of dated
memory. This patch removes local 'buf' and uses rs->buf.

This patch handles another aspect of the ELFv2 ABI, which unfortunately
requires common code changes.
In ELFv2, functions may provide both a global and a local entry point.
The global entry point (where the function symbol points to) is intended
to be used for function-pointer or cross-module (PLT) calls, and requires
r12 to be set up to the entry point address itself. The local entry
point (which is found at a fixed offset after the global entry point,
as defined by bits in the symbol table entries' st_other field), instead
expects r2 to be set up to the current TOC.
Now, when setting a breakpoint on a function by name, you really want
that breakpoint to trigger either way, no matter whether the function
is called via its local or global entry point. Since the global entry
point will always fall through into the local entry point, the way to
achieve that is to simply set the breakpoint at the local entry point.
One way to do that would be to have prologue parsing skip the code
sequence that makes up the global entry point. Unfortunately, this
does not work reliably, since -for optimized code- GDB these days
will not actuall invoke the prologue parsing code but instead just
set the breakpoint at the symbol address and rely on DWARF being
correct at any point throughout the function ...
Unfortunately, I don't really see any way to express the notion of
local entry points with the current set of gdbarch callbacks.
Thus this patch adds a new callback, skip_entrypoint, that is
somewhat analogous to skip_prologue, but is called every time
GDB needs to determine a function start address, even in those
cases where GDB decides to not call skip_prologue.
As a side effect, the skip_entrypoint implementation on ppc64
does not need to perform any instruction parsing; it can simply
rely on the local entry point flags in the symbol table entry.
With this implemented, two test cases would still fail to set
the breakpoint correctly, but that's because they use the construct:
gdb_test "break *hello"
Now, using "*hello" explicitly instructs GDB to set the breakpoint
at the numerical value of "hello" treated as function pointer, so
it will by definition only hit the global entry point.
I think this behaviour is unavoidable, but acceptable -- most people
do not use this construct, and if they do, they get what they
asked for ...
In one of those two test cases, use of this construct is really
not appropriate. I think this was added way back when as a means
to work around prologue skipping problems on some platforms. These
days that shouldn't really be necessary any more ...
For the other (step-bt), we really want to make sure backtracing
works on the very first instruction of the routine. To enable that
test also on powerpc64le-linux, we can modify the code to call the
test function via function pointer (which makes it use the global
entry point in the ELFv2 ABI).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (skip_entrypoint): New callback.
* gdbarch.c, gdbarch.h: Regenerate.
* symtab.c (skip_prologue_sal): Call gdbarch_skip_entrypoint.
* infrun.c (fill_in_stop_func): Likewise.
* ppc-linux-tdep.c: Include "elf/ppc64.h".
(ppc_elfv2_elf_make_msymbol_special): New function.
(ppc_elfv2_skip_entrypoint): Likewise.
(ppc_linux_init_abi): Install them for ELFv2.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/sigbpt.exp: Do not use "*" when setting breakpoint
on a function.
* gdb.base/step-bt.c: Call hello via function pointer to make
sure its first instruction is executed on powerpc64le-linux.
Another significant difference in the ELFv2 ABI is that "homogeneous"
floating-point and vector aggregates, i.e. aggregates the consist
(recursively) only of members of the same floating-point or vector type,
are passed in a series of floating-point / vector registers, as if they
were seperate parameters. (This is similar to the ARM ABI.) This
applies to both calls and returns.
In addition when returning any aggregate of up to 16 bytes, ELFv2 now
used general-purpose registers.
This patch adds support for these aspects of the ABI, which is relatively
straightforward after the refactoring patch to ppc-sysv-tdep.c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_aggregate_candidate): New routine.
(ppc64_elfv2_abi_homogeneous_aggregate): Likewise.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_push_param): Handle ELFv2 homogeneous structs.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value): Likewise. Also, handle small
structures returned in GPRs.
This implementes another change in ELFv2: the stack frame no longer
contains the reserved double words for linker and compiler use
(which weren't really used for much of anything anyway). This
affects placement of on-stack parameters in inferior calls.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call): Use correct
offset to the stack parameter list for the ELFv2 ABI.
This implements the most significant difference with the ELFv2 ABI:
we no longer use function descriptors. The patch consists mostly
of switching off code to deal with descriptors :-)
In addition, when calling an inferior function, we no longer need
to provide its TOC in r2. Instead, ELFv2 code expects to be called
with r12 pointing to the code address itself.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_init_abi): Only call
set_gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr and
set_gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special for ELFv1.
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_param): Only handle
function descriptors on ELFv1.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call): Likewise. On ELFv2,
set up r12 at function entry.
This is the first patch of a series to implement support for the
PowerPC ELFv2 ABI. While powerpc64le-linux will use ELFv2, and
the existing powerpc64-linux code will continue to use ELFv1,
in theory ELFv2 is also defined for big-endian systems (and
ELFv1 was also defined for little-endian systems).
Therefore this patch adds a new tdep->elf_abi variable to decide
which ABI version to use. This is detected from the ELF header
e_flags value; if this is not present, we default to ELFv2 on
little-endian and ELFv1 otherwise.
This patch does not yet introduce any actual difference in GDB's
handling of the two ABIs. Those will be added by the remainder
of this patch series.
For an overview of the changes in ELFv2, have a look at the
comments in the patch series that added ELFv2 to GCC, starting at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01144.html
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-tdep.h (enum powerpc_elf_abi): New data type.
(struct gdbarch_tdep): New member elf_abi.
* rs6000-tdep.c: Include "elf/ppc64.h".
(rs6000_gdbarch_init): Detect ELF ABI version.
The powerpc64le-linux ABI specifies that when a 128-bit DFP value is
passed in a pair of floating-point registers, the first register holds
the most-significant part of the value. This is as opposed to the
usual rule on little-endian systems, where the first register would
hold the least-significant part.
This affects two places in GDB, the read/write routines for the
128-bit DFP pseudo-registers, and the function call / return
sequence. For the former, current code already distinguishes
between big- and little-endian targets, but gets the latter
wrong. This is presumably because *GCC* also got it wrong,
and GDB matches the old GCC behavior. But GCC is now fixed:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg02145.html
so GDB needs to be fixed too. (Old code shouldn't really be
an issue since there is no code "out there" so far that uses
dfp128 on little-endian ...)
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_freg): Use correct order
within a register pair holding a DFP 128-bit value on little-endian.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base): Likewise.
* rs6000-tdep.c (dfp_pseudo_register_read): Likewise.
(dfp_pseudo_register_write): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/powerpc-d128-regs.exp: Enable on powerpc64*-*.
Passing a 32-bit DFP in register needs to use the least-significant part
of the register. Like with a previous patch that addressed the same
issue for small structs, this patch makes sure the appropriate offset
is used on little-endian systems.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_freg): Use correct
offset on little-endian when passing _Decimal32.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base): Likewise for return values.
Many VSX test were failing on powerpc64le-linux, since -as opposed to the
AltiVec tests- there never were little-endian versions of the test patterns.
This patch adds such patterns, along the lines of altivec-regs.exp.
In addition, there is an actual code change required: For those VSX
registers that overlap a floating-point register, the FP register
overlaps the most-significant half of the VSX register both on big-
and little-endian systems. However, on little-endian systems, that
half is stored at an offset of 8 bytes (not 0). This works already
for the "real" FP registers, but current code gets it wrong for
the "extended" pseudo FP register GDB generates for the second
half of the VSX register bank.
This patch updates the corresponding pseudo read/write routines
to take the appropriate offset into consideration.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-tdep.c (efpr_pseudo_register_read): Use correct offset
of the overlapped FP register within the VSX register on little-
endian platforms.
(efpr_pseudo_register_write): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/vsx-regs.exp: Check target endianness. Provide variants
of the test patterns for use on little-endian systems.
When passing a small structure in a GPR, the ABI specifies that it
should be passed in the least-significant bytes of the register
(or stack slot). On big-endian systems, this means the value
needs to be stored at an offset, which is what current code does.
However, on little-endian systems, the least-significant bytes are
addresses with offset 0. This patch fixes that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_val): Use correct
offset on little-endian when passing small structures.
This patch refactors the ppc64 function call and return value handling code
in ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The main problem to be addressed by this refactoring
is the code duplication caused by certain aggregate types:
According to the ABI, some types are to be decomposed into component types
for parameter and return value handling. For example, complex types are
to be passed as if the real and imaginary component were separate arguments.
Similarly, certain OpenCL vector types are passed as if they were multiple
separate arguments of the vector element type. With the new ELFv2 ABI,
there is another case: "homogeneous aggregates" (e.g. a struct containing
4 floats) are passed in multiple floating point registers as well.
Unfortunately, the current code is not structured to easily model these
ABI properties. For example, code to pass complex values re-implements
code to pass the underlying (floating-point) type. This has already
led to some unfortunate code duplication, and with the addition of
ELFv2 ABI support, I would have had to add yet more such duplication.
To avoid that, I've decided to refactor the code in order to re-use
subroutines that handle the "base" types when handling those aggregate
types. This was not intended to cause any difference on current
(ELFv1) ABI code, but in fact it fixes a bug:
FAIL: gdb.base/varargs.exp: print find_max_float_real(4, fc1, fc2, fc3, fc4)
This was caused by the old code in ppc64_sysv_abi_push_float incorrectly
handling floating-point arguments to vararg routines, which just happens
to work out correctly automatically in the refactored code ...

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.

The to_teardown_btrace target method is used to free btrace resources
during shutdown when target record has already been unpushed and we
can't reliably talk to a remote target to disable branch tracing.
Tracing resources are freed for each thread when the thread is removed;
both on the GDB side and on the gdbserver side.
In the remote case, the remote target that provides to_teardown_btrace
to free the GDB side resources has already been unpushed when threads
are destroyed. This results in a complaint "You can't do this ..." and
in a few bytes of memory leaked for each thread.
Initiate btrace teardown in record_btrace_close, so the remote target is
still in place.
2014-01-27 Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com>
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_close): Call btrace_teardown

Currently, ada-lang.c pretends to include "ui-out.h" as follow:
#ifdef UI_OUT
#include "ui-out.h"
#endif
However, UI_OUT is never defined as far as I can tell. This is confirmed
by rebuilding with a #error pragma inside the #ifdef UI_OUT block,
which never triggers.
Since this unit makes references to declarations from ui-out.h,
this patch simply removes the #ifdef/#endif condition. This has not
been an error so far because "ui-out.h" indirectly gets included,
via one of the other .h files being included.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c: Remove "#ifdef UI_OUT" condition for including
"ui-out.h".
type Char_Table is array (Character range Character'First .. Character'Last)
of Natural;
Trying to print the type description of this type currently yields:
(gdb) ptype char_table
type = array ('["00"]' .. '["ff"]') of natural
Although technically correct, it seemed more useful to print the array
range as:
(gdb) ptype char_table
type = array (character) of natural
This patch implements this suggestion.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/array_char_idx: New testcase.
These declarations are unncessary, and make it extra work when trying
to change the profile of one of these functions. This patch just
removes them.
Note that one of them (print_dynamic_range_bound), was improperly
indented.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-typeprint.c (print_array_type, print_choices, print_range)
(print_range_bound, print_dynamic_range_bound, print_range_type):
Remove declaration.
Consider the following declarations:
type Range_Type is (One, Two, Three);
type Array_Type is array (Range_Type range One .. Two) of Integer;
A : Array_Type := (1, 2);
Trying to print A can yield:
(gdb) print a
$1 = (one => 1, 2)
The bound of the first element should not have been printed, since
"one" is the first enumerate of type Range_Type. Similarly, with
the following declarations:
type Array2_Type is array (Range_Type range Two .. Three) of Integer;
A2 : Array2_Type := (2, 3);
GDB is failing to print the bound of the first element of "A2":
(gdb) print a2
$2 = (2, 3)
This is because the index type for both types Array_Type and Array2_Type
are subranges (by DWARF definition for arrays), of an anonymous subrange
type. When deciding whether to print the bound of the first element,
we handle subranges, but only up to one level. This patch enhanced
the code to handle any number of subrange levels.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_optional_low_bound): Get index_type's
target type for as long as it is a TYPE_CODE_RANGE.
No testcase with this patch, but this will be tested via the testcase
of another patch, which uses the DWARF assembler to generate debugging
info for an array indexed by an enum.
On x86-solaris, the gcore command sometimes triggers the following
internal error:
(gdb) gcore
/[...]/procfs.c:5523: internal-error: procfs_make_note_section: Assertion `thread_args.note_data != note_data' failed.
The problem is extremely elusive, for reasons that will become clearer
as I explain what is going on.
The program used to produce this issue was really simple:
| void break_me (void) { }
|
| int
| main (void)
| {
| break_me ();
| return 0;
| }
The procfs_make_note_section builds a buffer incrementally with
the contents of the core's notes section. The interesting bits are:
char *note_data = NULL;
[...]
note_data = (char *) elfcore_write_prpsinfo (obfd,
note_data,
note_size,
fname,
psargs);
This is the first call to bfd's elfcore which initializes note_data.
After that, we have a few more calls, which keep updating notes_data
and note_size, but our interest lies in the following part of
the function:
thread_args.note_data = note_data;
[...]
proc_iterate_over_threads (pi, procfs_corefile_thread_callback,
&thread_args);
/* There should be always at least one thread. */
gdb_assert (thread_args.note_data != note_data);
The comment implies that the assert is to verify that our loop
iterated over at least one thread. The check is relying on the
fact that the notes_data returned by the elfcore module changes
at each iteration, via (in procfs_corefile_thread_callback):
args->note_data = procfs_do_thread_registers (args->obfd, ptid,
args->note_data,
args->note_size,
args->stop_signal);
(which calls elfcore_write_lwpstatus).
But, while it happens most of the time, thanks to a call to realloc
in elfcore_write_note (the function that actually appends the data
at the end of the notes buffer),...
buf = (char *) realloc (buf, *bufsiz + newspace);
... this is by no means guarantied. In fact, under the right
circumstances, the buffer was grown twice without changing
addresses. Unfortunately, the circumstances are very sensitive,
thus making this bug very elusive.
This patch fixes the problem by simply removing the assert.
This means we're losing the assertion that there is at least one
thread, but I think that's OK. If we still want to keep the
assertion, we have the option of either checking the buffer
size, or else adding a boolean flag in the context structure
that we'd set to true as soon as we have a thread.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* procfs.c (procfs_make_note_section): Remove assertion and

Functions remote_read_bytes and get_core_siginfo are the callees of
target to_xfer_partial interface, so argument 'len' should be changed
to type ULONGEST.
gdb:
2014-01-24 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* remote.c (remote_read_bytes): Change type of len to ULONGEST.
* corelow.c (get_core_siginfo): Likewise.
Hi,
This patch changes the type of 'len' from ssize_t to ULONGEST.
At the beginning Siddhesh Poyarekar proposed this patch
[PATCH] Memory reads and writes should have size_t length
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg01073.html
to change type of 'len' to size_t. However, after Jan's review, we
decide to change it to ssize_t, because callers of these functions
may pass signed type to them.
AFAICS, the target layer is a boundary. In one side, we pass size_t
or ssize_t to target related APIs, and in the other side, the
implementation side, we used LONGEST (ULONGEST in latest code) because
of to_xfer_partial.
Since remote_write_bytes_aux and remote_write_bytes belong to the
implementation of remote target, we should use ULONGEST for len, IMO.
Regression tested on x86_64-linux. Is it OK?
gdb:

This fixes a bug in FrameDecorator.py.
FrameVars seems to assume that Frame.block can return None if there is
no block. However, it actually throws an exception.
I saw this bug while developing a frame filter, but unfortunately I
don't know how to reproduce it. It seems to me that the SAL tests in
_is_limited_frame should exclude the bad cases; and in my attempts to
write a test they do.
Nevertheless I think the fix is reasonably obvious and ought to go in.

Currently, xtensa code using the Linux ptrace interface only include
sys/ptrace.h. This file comes from the C library (glibc and uClibc,
at least), and includes a declaration of the ptrace() functions, along
with some cross architecture constants that are mostly copied from the
file located at include/uapi/linux/ptrace.h in recent Linux kernels.
For xtensa specific constants like PTRACE_GETXTREGS and
PTRACE_SETXTREGS the asm/ptrace.h include from the Linux kernel UAPI
is needed. The code in gdbserver xtensa specific part doesn't call
ptrace() directly, so we can remove the unneeded sys/ptrace.h include.

ptrace().

The test fails on s390 with:
-trace-find frame-number 0^M
&"PC not available\n"^M
^done,found="1",tracepoint="1",traceframe="0",frame={level="-1",addr="<unavailable>",func="??",args=[]}^M
(gdb) ^M
FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp: tfile: -trace-find frame-number 0
tfile knows to infer the PC from the tracepoint's address if the PC
wasn't collected (tfile_fetch_registers) but, that only works on
targets whose PC register is a raw register, and on s390, the PC
register is a pseudo register.
But even if GDB doesn't know how to infer the value of PC, saying the
current frame is level -1 is a bug:
^done,found="1",tracepoint="1",traceframe="0",frame={level="-1",addr="<unavailable>",func="??",args=[]}^M
^^^^^^^^^
'-1' is the level of the sentinel frame, which should never be visible.
This is caused by the s390's heuristic unwinder accepting the frame
(the fallback heuristic unwinders _always_ accept the frame), but then
the unwind->this_id method throws that "PC not available\n" error.
IOW, the s390's heuristic unwinder was never adjusted to handle
unavailable register values gracefully, which can happen with e.g., a
trimmed core file too.
This is just the minimal necessary for
<unavailable> frames, which at least gets us:
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 1
#0 <unavailable> in ?? ()
That is, frame #0 instead of -1.
We could get better info out of "info frame" (this patch makes us show
"outermost"), but this change would still be necessary.

The branch trace is represented as 3 vectors:
- a block vector
- a instruction vector
- a function vector
Each vector (except for the first) is computed from the one above.
Change this into a graph where a node represents a sequence of instructions
belonging to the same function and where we have three types of edges to connect
the function segments:
- control flow
- same function (instance)
- call stack
This allows us to navigate in the branch trace. We will need this for "record
goto" and reverse execution.
This patch introduces the data structure and computes the control flow edges.
It also introduces iterator structs to simplify iterating over the branch trace
in control-flow order.
It also fixes PR gdb/15240 since now recursive calls are handled correctly.
Fix the test that got the number of expected fib instances and also the
function numbers wrong.
The current instruction had been part of the branch trace. This will look odd
once we start support for reverse execution. Remove it. We still keep it in
the trace itself to allow extending the branch trace more easily in the future.

This adds the "main"-related data into the per-BFD. This is needed
because once symbol sharing across objfiles is complete, computing the
main name as a side effect of symbol reading will no longer work --
the symbols simply won't be re-read.
After this change, set_main_name is only used by the main_name
machinery itself, so this patch makes it static.

This moves the "main" name and language into an object attached to the

The recent constification of to_detach missed updating the forward
declaration of go32_detach, breaking the build:

../../src/gdb/go32-nat.c:240:13: note: previous declaration of 'go32_detach' was here
go32_detach is actually defined before it's ever used, making the
forward declaration is unnecessary. So we can just remove it instead
of updating it. While at it, remove all others in the same situation.

This introduces async_callback_ftype. This is needed for

This last patch removes "partial" from the names of
expand_partial_symbol_names and map_partial_symbol_filenames.
It also renames expand_partial_symbol_names to match the
struct quick_symbol_functions "method" that it wraps:
expand_symtabs_matching.
This patch also adds two parameters to expand_symtabs_matching
so that it can fully wrap the underlying quick_symbol_functions method.
This makes it usable in more places.
I thought of having a cover function that still had the same
signature as the old expand_partial_symbol_names function,
but I couldn't think of a good name, and it wasn't clear it was
worth it anyway.

This patch adds two typedefs:

expand_symtabs_symbol_matcher_ftype
It also renames the NAME_MATCHER argument in expand_symtabs_matching.
The function is named expand_symtabs_matching and it takes a name_matcher
argument. Name of what? The symtab? A symbol?
I made it SYMBOL_MATCHER to make it clearer.

This is the first of a set of three patches to cleanup psymtab.c a bit.
Basically, these two functions do not belong in psymtab.c:
expand_partial_symbol_names, map_partial_symbol_filenames,
and "partial" does not belong in the function name.
This first patch moves them to a better location.
The second patch adds some typedefs for function parameters to
quick_symbol_functions.expand_symtabs_matching.
The third patch removes "partial" from the function names
and uses them in more places.
* psymtab.c (expand_partial_symbol_names): Delete, moved to symfile.c.
(map_partial_symbol_filenames): Ditto.
* psymtab.h (expand_partial_symbol_names): Delete, moved to symfile.h.

* symtab.c: Delete #include "psymtab.h".
RECORD_IS_USED and record_full_open look at current_target.to_stratum
to determine whether a record target is in use. This is wrong because
arch_stratum is greater than record_stratum, so if an arch_stratum
target is pushed, RECORD_IS_USED and record_full_open will miss it.
To fix this, we can use the existing find_record_target instead, which
looks up for a record stratum target across the target stack. Since
that means exporting find_record_target in record.h, RECORD_IS_USED
ends up redundant, so the patch eliminates it.
That exercise then reveals other issues:
- adjust_pc_after_break is gating record_full_... calls based on
RECORD_IS_USED. But, record_full_ calls shouldn't be made when
recording with the record-btrace target. So this adds a new
record_full_is_used predicate to be used in that spot.
- record_full_open says "Process record target already running", even
if the recording target is record-btrace ("process record" is the
original complete name of the record-full target). record_btrace_open
only says "The process is already being recorded." and does not
suggest "record stop", like record-full does. The patch factors out
and merges that error to a new record_preopen function that all record
targets call in their open routine.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

The rules for generating the output register files look like:
amd64.c : $(srcdir)/../regformats/i386/amd64.dat $(regdat_sh)
$(SHELL) $(regdat_sh) $(srcdir)/../regformats/i386/amd64.dat amd64.c
According to this rule, if regdat.sh is newer than amd64.c, then
regdat.sh shall be invoked on amd64.dat. According to regdat.sh, if the
script determines that the output file amd64.c has not changed, then it
will not overwrite the existing output file. This means that a
subsequent invocation of make will trigger the above rule again as
regdat.sh will be perpetually newer than amd64.c.
This then shows up in the make output like so:
/bin/bash ./../regformats/regdat.sh ./../regformats/i386/amd64-linux.dat amd64-linux.c
amd64-linux.c unchanged.
/bin/bash ./../regformats/regdat.sh ./../regformats/i386/amd64-avx-linux.dat amd64-avx-linux.c
amd64-avx-linux.c unchanged.
...
To fix this pathological behavior, it suffices to have regdat.sh
unconditionally rewrite the output register file.
On my machine, which has a regdat.sh file that is newer than some of the
input register files, this change speeds up every invocation of make
under gdb/ by about 5 seconds.

This patch reorganizes code on gdb/i386-tdep.c's SystemTap SDT probe
support functions. Before it, the code to parse special operands on x86
lived in a single, big function. This patch creates 2 new functions
that makes the code more organized and removes a few indentation levels
(which is always good IMO).
I haven't modified anything logical in the functions, i.e., there's still
one latent bug on i386_stap_parse_special_token_triplet now. I will soon
post a patch to fix this, and to also improve the readability of the two
new functions.

Although we can tell upfront whether a remote target supports target
side commands, we can only tell whether the target supports that in
combination with a given breakpoint kind (software, hardware,
watchpoints, etc.) when we go and try to insert such a breakpoint kind
the first time. It's not desirable to make remote_insert_breakpoint
simply return -1 in this case, because if the breakpoint was set in a
shared library, insert_bp_location will assume that the breakpoint
insertion failed because the library wasn't mapped in.
insert_bp_location already handles errors/exceptions thrown from the
target_insert_xxx methods, exactly so the backend can tell the user
the detailed reason the insertion of hw breakpoints failed. But, in
the case of software breakpoints, it discards the detailed error
message.
So the patch makes insert_bp_location use the error's message for SW
breakpoints too, and, introduces a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERROR error code so
that insert_bp_location doesn't confuse the error for failure due to a
shared library disappearing.
The result is:
(gdb) c
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 2: Target doesn't support breakpoints that have target side commands.

Currently, when GDB connects in all-stop mode, GDBserver always
responds to the status packet with a GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, even if the
program is actually stopped for some other signal.
(gdb) tar rem ...
...
(gdb) c
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
(gdb) disconnect
(gdb) tar rem ...
(gdb) c
(Or a GDB crash instead of an explicit disconnect.)
This results in the program losing that signal on that last continue,
because gdb will tell the target to resume with no signal (to suppress
the GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP, due to 'handle SISGTRAP nopass'), and that will
actually suppress the real signal the program had stopped for
(SIGUSR1). To fix that, I think we should make GDBserver report the
real signal the thread had stopped for in response to the status
packet:
@item ?
@cindex @samp{?} packet
Indicate the reason the target halted. The reply is the same as for
step and continue.
But, that raises the question -- which thread are we reporting the
status for? Due to how the RSP in all-stop works, we can only report
one status. The status packet's response is a stop reply packet, so
it includes the thread identifier, so it's not a problem packet-wise.
However, GDBserver is currently always reporting the status for first
thread in the thread list, even though that may well not be the thread
that got the signal that caused the program to stop. So the next
logical step would be to report the status for the
last_ptid/last_status thread (the last event reported to gdb), if it's
still around; and if not, fallback to some other thread.
There's an issue on the GDB side with that, though...
GDB currently always adds the thread reported in response to the
status query as the first thread in its list. That means that if we
start with e.g.,
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 1003 ...
* 2 Thread 1002 ...
1 Thread 1001 ...
And reconnect:
(gdb) disconnect
(gdb) tar rem ...
We end up with:
(gdb) info threads
3 Thread 1003 ...
2 Thread 1001 ...
* 1 Thread 1002 ...
Not a real big issue, but it's reasonably fixable, by having GDB
fetch/sync the thread list before fetching the status/'?', and then
using the status to select the right thread as current on the GDB
side. Holes in the thread numbers are squashed before/after
reconnection (e.g., 2,3,5 becomes 1,2,3), but the order is preserved,
which I think is both good, and good enough.
However (yes, there's more...), the previous GDB that was connected
might have had gdbserver running in non-stop mode, or could have left
gdbserver doing disconnected tracing (which also forces non-stop), and
if the new gdb/connection is in all-stop mode, we can end up with more
than one thread with a signal to report back to gdb. As we can only
report one thread/status (in the all-stop RSP variant; the non-stop
variant doesn't have this issue), we get to do what we do at every
other place we have this situation -- leave events we can't report
right now as pending, so that the next resume picks them up.
Note all this ammounts to a QoI change, within the existing framework.
There's really no RSP change here.
The only user visible change (other than that the signal is program is
stopped at isn't lost / is passed to the program), is in "info
program", that now can show the signal the program stopped for. Of
course, the next resume will respect the pass/nopass setting for the
signal in question. It'd be reasonable to have the initial connection
tell the user the program was stopped with a signal, similar to when
we load a core to debug, but I'm leaving that out for a future change.
I think we'll need to either change how handle_inferior_event & co
handle stop_soon, or maybe bypass them completely (like
fork-child.c:startup_inferior) for that.

Consider the following types:
type Time_T is record
Secs : Integer;
end record;
Before : Time_T := (Secs => 1384395743);
In this example, we assume that type Time_T is the number of seconds
since Epoch, and so added a Python pretty-printer, to print this
type in a more human-friendly way. For instance:
(gdb) print before
$1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743)
However, we've noticed that things stop working when this type is
embedded inside another record, and we try to print that record.
For instance, with the following declarations:
type Composite is record
Id : Integer;
T : Time_T;
end record;
Afternoon : Composite := (Id => 1, T => (Secs => 1384395865));
(gdb) print afternoon
$2 = (id => 1, t => (secs => 1384395865))
We expected instead:
(gdb) print afternoon
$2 = (id => 1, t => Thu Nov 14 02:24:25 2013 (1384395865))
This patch fixes the problem by making sure that we try to print
each field via a call to val_print, rather than calling ada_val_print
directly. We need to go through val_print, as the val_print
handles all language-independent features such as calling the
pretty-printer, knowing that ada_val_print will get called eventually
if actual Ada-specific printing is required (which should be the
most common scenario).
And because val_print takes the language as parameter, we enhanced
the print_field_values and print_variant_part to also take a language.
As a bonus, this allows us to remove a couple of references to
current_language.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_field_values): Add "language" parameter.
Update calls to print_field_values and print_variant_part.

ada_print_floating declares a char buffer with a size that we're hoping
to always be large enough to hold any string representation of a float
value. But that's not really necessary, and also forces us to create
a small wrapper (ui_memcpy) to perform the extraction from a temporary
stream into this buffer. This patches fixes both issues by relying on
ui_file_xstrdup. This forces us to make a few adjustments that are
minor in nature, as we now need to defer the cleanup to the end of
the function.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ui_memcpy): Delete.
(ada_print_floating): Update documentation. Add empty line
between between function documentation and implementation.
Delete variable "buffer". Use ui_file_xstrdup in place of
ui_file_put. Minor adjustments following this change.
This patch creates a new function called "ada_val_print_string"
whose code is directly extracted out of ada_val_print_array.
The extracted code is then replaced by a call to this new function,
followed by a "return". The return avoids the need for an "else"
branch, with the associated block nesting. The latter is not really
terrible in this case, but it seems more readable this way.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_string): New function,
extracted from ada_val_print_array.
(ada_val_print_array): Replace extracted code by call
to ada_val_print_string followed by a return. Move
"else" branch to the function's top block.
This patch moves ada_val_print_array to group it with the other
ada_val_print_* function which are being called by ada_val_print_1.
Since this function is in the same situation, it is more logical
to move it within that group.
It also rationalizes the function's prototype to match the prototype
of the other ada_val_print_* routines.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_array): Move implementation
down. Rename parameter "offset" and "val" into "offset_aligned"
and "original_value" respectively. Add parameter "offset".
The logic as currently implemented in this function was a little
difficult to follow, due to the nested of if/else conditions,
but most of the time, the "else" block was very simple. So this
patch re-organizes the code to use fewer levels of nesting by
using return statements, and writing the code as a sequence of
"if something simple, then handle it and return" blocks.
While touching this code, this patch changes the cryptic "???"
printed when trying to print a reference pointing to an undefined
type. This should only ever happen if the debugging information
was corrupted or improperly read. But in case that happens, we now
print "<ref to undefined type>" instead. This is more in line
with how we print other conditions such as optimized out pieces,
or synthetic pointers.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_ref): Rewrite by mostly
re-organizing the code. Change the "???" message printed
when target type is a TYPE_CODE_UNDEF into
"<ref to undefined type>".
The function print_record is a fairly small and straightforward
function which is only called from one location. So this patch
inlines the code at the point of call.
One small advantage is that the context of use of this patch has
now become such that we can assume that TYPE is not a typedef,
nor an enum. So thhe call to ada_check_typedef is unnecessary,
and this patch removes it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_record): Delete, implementation inlined...
(ada_val_print_struct_union): ... here. Remove call to
ada_check_typedef in inlined implementation.
The idea of this patch is that it's hard to have a global view of
ada_val_print_1 because its body spans over too many lines. Also,
each individual "case" block within the giant "switch" can be hard
to isolate if spanning over multiple pages as well.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_gnat_array): New function,
extracted from ada_val_print_1;
(ada_val_print_ptr, ada_val_print_num, ada_val_print_enum)
(ada_val_print_flt, ada_val_print_struct_union)
(ada_val_print_ref): Likewise.
(ada_val_print_1): Delete variables i and elttype.
Replace extracted-out code by call to corresponding
new functions.
I am not sure why this function was called in the first place, but
it disrupts the printing flow when in GDB/MI mode, ending the current
console stream output, and starting a new one. It's not clear whether,
with the code as currently written, the problem is actually visible
or only latent. But, it becomes visible when we replace one of the
"return" statements in the "switch" block just above by a "break"
statement (this is something I'd like to do, and what made me realize
the problem). With the gdb_flush call (after having replaced the
"return" statement as explained above), we get:
% gdb -q -i=mi ada_prg
(gdb)
print 1
&"print 1\n"
!! -> ~"$1 = 1"
!! -> ~"\n"
^done
With the gdb_flush call removed, we now get the entire output into
a single stream.
(gdb)
print 1
&"print 1\n"
~"$1 = 1"
~"\n"
^done
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Remove call to gdb_flush.
This is to standardize a little bit how printing is done, and in
particular make sure that everyone goes through val_print when
printing sub-objects. This helps making sure that standard features
handled by val_print get activated when expected.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Replace calls to
ada_val_print_1 by calls to val_print.
This is to help calling val_print. We would like to be more systematic
in calling val_print when printing, because it allows us to make sure
we take advantage of the standard features such as pretty-printing
which are handled by val_print.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_1): Add parameter "language".
Update calls to self accordingly. Replace calls to c_val_print
by calls to val_print.
Advance function declarations add to the maintenance cost, since
any update to the function prototype needs to be made twice.
For static functions, this is not necessary, and this patch
reorders the function so as to reduce the use of such advanche
declarations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-valprint.c (print_record): Delete declaration.
(adjust_type_signedness, ada_val_print_1): Likewise.
(ada_val_print): Move function implementation down.

Move function implementation up.
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

Continuing my series of fixes on the SystemTap SDT support for the
ARM/AArch64 architectures, this patch now extends how ARM's SDT specific
parser handles literal numbers (immediates).
Currently, it only accepts "#" as the prefix. However, according to
"info '(as) ARM-Chars'", expressions can also have "$" and nothing as a
prefix. This patch extends the parser to accept those options.

* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_stap_is_single_operand): Accept "$" as a
literal prefix. Also accept no prefix at all.
(arm_stap_parse_special_token): Likewise.
(arm_linux_init_abi): Likewise.
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.

This patch extends the current generic parser for SystemTap SDT probe
arguments. It can be almost considered a cleanup, but the main point of
it is actually to allow the generic parser to accept multiple prefixes
and suffixes for the its operands (i.e., integers, register names, and
register indirection).
I have chosen to implement this as a list of const strings, and declare
this list as "static" inside each target's method used to initialize
gdbarch.
This patch is actually a preparation for an upcoming patch for ARM,
which implements the support for multiple integer prefixes (as defined
by ARM's asm spec). And AArch64 will also need this, for the same
reason.
This patch was regtested on all architectures that it touches (i.e.,
i386, x86_64, ARM, PPC/PPC64, s390x and IA-64). No regressions were found.

Code rationale
==============
by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
This is a fix for bug 16297. The problem occurs when the user attempts
to catch any syscall 0 (such as syscall read on Linux/x86_64). GDB was
not able to catch the syscall and was missing the breakpoint.
Now, breakpoint_hit_catch_syscall returns immediately when it finds the
correct syscall number, avoiding a following check for the end of the
search vector, that returns a no hit if the syscall number was zero.
Testcase rationale
==================
by: Sergio Durigan Junior
This testcase is a little difficult to write. By doing a quick
inspection at the Linux source, one can see that, in many targets, the
syscall number 0 is restart_syscall, which is forbidden to be called
from userspace. Therefore, on many targets, there's just no way to test
this safely.
My decision was to take the simpler route and just adds the "read"
syscall on the default test. Its number on x86_64 is zero, which is
"good enough" since many people here do their tests on x86_64 anyway and
it is a popular architecture.
However, there was another little gotcha. When using "read" passing 0
as the third parameter (i.e., asking it to read 0 bytes), current libc
implementations could choose not to effectively call the syscall.
Therefore, the best solution was to create a temporary pipe, write 1
byte into it, and then read this byte from it.

Now that struct serial_ops is const everywhere, we can easily turn the

On the one hand I think this is nicer since it makes a bit more data
readonly and slightly reduces allocations. On the other hand it
reduces readability somewhat.
If the readability is a concern to anyone I was thinking I could write
a macro that conditionally uses GCC's designated initializer
extension.

Like when stepping, the current stack frame location is expected to be
printed as result of tfind command, if that results in moving to a
different function. In tfind_1 we see:
if (from_tty
&& (has_stack_frames () || traceframe_number >= 0))
{
enum print_what print_what;
/* NOTE: in imitation of the step command, try to determine
whether we have made a transition from one function to
another. If so, we'll print the "stack frame" (ie. the new
function and it's arguments) -- otherwise we'll just show the
new source line. */
if (frame_id_eq (old_frame_id,
get_frame_id (get_current_frame ())))
print_what = SRC_LINE;
else
print_what = SRC_AND_LOC;
print_stack_frame (get_selected_frame (NULL), 1, print_what, 1);
do_displays ();
}
However, when we haven't collected any registers in the tracepoint
(collect $regs), that doesn't actually work:
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) info tracepoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 tracepoint keep y 0x080483b7 in func0

#0 func0 () at ../.././../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/circ.c:28
28 }
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 1, tracepoint 2
32 }
(gdb)
When we don't have info about the stack available
(UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE), frames end up with outer_frame_id as frame ID.
And in the scenario above, the issue is that both frames before and
after the second tfind (the frames for func0 an func1) have the same
id (outer_frame_id), so the frame_id_eq check returns false, even
though the frames were of different functions. GDB knows that,
because the PC is inferred from the tracepoint's address, even if no
registers were collected.
To fix this, this patch adds support for frame ids with a valid code
address, but <unavailable> stack address, and then makes the unwinders
use that instead of the catch-all outer_frame_id for such frames. The
frame_id_eq check in tfind_1 then automatically does the right thing
as expected.
I tested with --directory=gdb.trace/ , before/after the patch, and
compared the resulting gdb.logs, then adjusted the tests to expect the
extra output that came out. Turns out that was only circ.exp, the
original test that actually brought this issue to light.

This reverts commit 07293be448, as it
causes an unintended change of behavior with GDB/MI's =library-loaded
events: The host-name="<path>" part of the event is now showing the
target-side path instead of the host-side path.
This revert affects Darwin and AIX systems, however, where the BFD
is either artificial or icomplete, leading to the outputt of
"info shared" not containing the information we'd like. For instance,
on Darwin, we would see:
(top-gdb) info shared
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
0x00007fff8d060de4 0x00007fff8d09ce1f Yes (*) i386:x86-64
0x00007fff8af08b10 0x00007fff8b1c6f73 Yes (*) i386:x86-64
To compensate for that, we overwrite the filename of the associated bfd.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* solib.c (solib_map_sections): Remove code overwriting

Make the following changes required after the revert above:
* solib-aix.c (solib_aix_bfd_open): Set the filename of the

* solib-darwin.c (darwin_bfd_open): Set the filename of the
returned bfd to a copy of PATHNAME.
This function has the following code:
elt_type = type;
for (i = n; i > 1; i--)
elt_type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
For multi-dimension arrays, the code above tries to find the array
type corresponding to the dimension we're trying to inspect.
The problem is that, past the second dimension, the loop does
nothing other than repeat the first iteration. There is a little
thinko where it got the TYPE_TARGET_TYPE of TYPE instead of ELT_TYPE!
To my surprise, I was unable to produce an Ada exemple that demonstrated
the problem. That's because the examples I created all trigger a parallel
___XA type which we then use in place of the ELT_TYPE in order to
determine the bounds - see the code that immediately follows our
loop above:
index_type_desc = ada_find_parallel_type (type, "___XA");
ada_fixup_array_indexes_type (index_type_desc);
if (index_type_desc != NULL)
[...]
So, in order to avoid depending on an Ada example where the compiler
can potentially decide one way or the other, I decided to use an
artificial example, written in C. With ...
int multi[1][2][3];
... forcing the language to Ada, and trying to print the 'last,
we get:
(gdb) p multi'last(1)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p multi'last(2)
$2 = 1
(gdb) p multi'last(3)
$3 = 1 <<<--- This should be 2!
Additionally, I noticed that a couple of check_typedef's were missing.
This patch adds them. And since the variable in question only gets
used within an "else" block, I moved the variable declaration and
use inside that block - making it clear what the scope of the variable
is.

I have a case that could use an exception for "unsupported feature".
I found UNSUPPORTED_ERROR, but looking deeper, I think as is, reusing
it for other things would be fragile. E.g., if the Python script
sourced by source_script_from_stream triggers any other missing
functionality that would result in UNSUPPORTED_ERROR being propagated
out to source_script_from_stream, that would confuse the error for
Python not being built into GDB.
This patch thus redoes things a little. Instead of using an exception
for the "No Python" scenario, check whether Python is configured in
before actually trying to source the file. It adds a new function
instead of using #ifdef HAVE_PYTHON directly, as that is better at
avoiding bitrot, as both Python and !Python paths are visible to the
compiler this way.

This patch sanitizes the access to gdbarch made by various functions of
the SDT probe API. Before this patch, gdbarch was being accessed via
the probe's objfile; however, this proved to cause a bug on 32-bit ARM
targets because during the parsing of the probe's arguments the code
needed to access some pseudo-registers of the architecture, and this
information is not fully correct on the objfile's gdbarch.
Basically, the approach taken was to instead pass the current/selected
frame to the parsing and evaluation functions, so that they can extract
the gdbarch directly from the frame. It solved the ARM bug reported
above, and also contributed to make the API cleaner.
Tested on x86_64 and 32-bit ARM.
