Some Intel processors implement a Branch Trace Store (BTS) which GDB
uses for reverse execution support via the "record btrace bts"
command.
I have been unable to find a description of a similar feature in a
recent (April 2020) AMD64 architecture reference:
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/40332.pdf
While it is the case that AMD processors have an LBR (last branch
record) bit in the DebugCtl MSR, it seems that it affects only four
MSRs when enabled. The names of these MSRs are LastBranchToIP,
LastBranchFromIP, LastIntToIP, and LastIntFromIP. I can find no
mention of anything more extensive. While looking at an Intel
architecture document, I noticed that Intel's P6 family from the
mid-90s had registers of the same name.
Therefore...
This commit disables "record btrace bts" support in GDB for AMD
processors.
Using the test case from gdb.base/break.exp, the sessions
below show the expected behavior (run on a machine with an
Intel processor) versus that on a machine with an AMD processor.
The AMD processor in question is reported as follows by "lscpu":
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core Processor . Finally, I'll
note that the AMD machine is actually a VM, but I see similar
behavior on both the virtualization host and the VM.

this commit. Worse still, the results aren't always the same which
causes a lot of noise when comparing test results.

It possible that a thread whose PC we attempt to read is already dead.
In this case, 'regcache_read_pc' errors out. This impacts the
"proceed" execution flow, where GDB quits early before having a chance
to check if there exists a pending event. To remedy, keep going with
a 0 value for the PC if 'regcache_read_pc' fails. Because the value
of PC before resuming a thread is mostly used for storing and checking
the next time the thread stops, this tolerance is expected to be
harmless for a dead thread/process.

The proposed fix is to include <cstdlib> in addition to <stdlib.h>.
Here's an excerpt of [2] relevant to this problem:
These headers [speaking of the .h form] are allowed to also declare
the same names in the std namespace, and the corresponding cxxx
headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the global
namespace: including <cstdlib> definitely provides std::malloc and
may also provide ::malloc. Including <stdlib.h> definitely provides
::malloc and may also provide std::malloc
Since we use std::abs, we should not assume that our include of stdlib.h
declares an `abs` function in the `std` namespace.
If we replace the include of stdlib.h with cstdlib, then we fall in the
opposite situation. A standard C++ library may decide to only put the
declarations in the std namespace, requiring us to prefix all standard
functions with `std::`. I'm not against that, but for the moment I think the
safest way forward is to just include both.
Note that I don't know what effect this patch can have on any stdlib.h fix
provided by gnulib.

I recently learned that move constructors generally should be marked
"noexcept". This ensures that standard containers will move objects
when possible, rather than copy them.
This patch fixes the cases I could find. Note that implicitly-defined
or defaulted move constructors will automatically do what you'd
expect; that is, they are noexcept if all the members have noexcept
move constructors.
While doing this, I noticed a couple of odd cases where the move
constructor seemed to assume that the object being constructed could
have state requiring destruction. I've fixed these as well. See
completion_result and scoped_mmap.

I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:
/* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */
#ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
#endif
I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).
But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.
This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.
gdb/ChangeLog:

This changes gdbsupport so that it no longer relies on BFD. This is a
precursor to making gdbserver use the already-built gdbsupport,
because building gdbserver should not require BFD to be built.
The most notable change here is that CORE_ADDR is always a 64-bit
type. This makes it so that gdb acts as if it were always built in
64-bit mode.

The same is done for gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport. I therefore think
it makes sense to move that to GDB_AC_COMMON.
It is required to move the call to GDB_AC_COMMON so it is before
GDB_AC_SELFTEST in gdbserver/configure.ac, otherwise the $development
variable isn't set when the code behind GDB_AC_SELFTEST executes.

Before commit 3d1e5a43cb ("gdbsupport/configure.ac: source
development.sh"), the GDB build in non-development mode (turn
development to false in bfd/development.sh if you want to try) was
broken because the gdbsupport configure script didn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable.
Since the GDB_AC_SELFTEST macro relies on the `development` variable, I
propose to modify it such that it errors out if $development does not
have an expected value of "true" or "false". This could prevent a
future similar problem from happening while refactoring the configure
scripts. It would have caught the problem fixed by the patch mentioned
earlier.

While compiling with clang, I noticed it didn't catch cases where my
function declaration didn't match my function definition. This is
normally caught by gcc with -Wmissing-declarations.
On clang, this is caught by -Wmissing-prototypes instead.
Note that on gcc, -Wmissing-prototypes also exists, but is only valid
for C and Objective-C. It gets correctly rejected by the configure
script since gcc rejects it with:
cc1plus: error: command line option '-Wmissing-prototypes' is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ -Werror
So this warning flag ends up not used for gcc (which is what we want).

Copy the .dir-locls.el file from gdb/ to gdbserver/ and gdbsupport/ so
that we get the GNU/GDB style when editing these files in Emacs.
I initially wanted to remove the (c-mode . ((mode . c++))) that
switches c-mode files into c++-mode as we store C++ code in *.cc files
in the gdbserver/ directory, unlike gdb/ where we use *.c, however, I
was forgetting about the header files - we still use *.h for our C++
header files, so for now I left the settings in place to open all C
files in c++-mode.
We now have three copies of this file, which are all identical. It
would be nice if we could remove this duplication, however, for now we
haven't found a good way to do this.
Some options considered were:
1. Use symlinks to only have one copy of the file. This was
rejected as not all targets support symlinks in the way.
2. Have two of the .dir-locals.el files contain some mechanism by
which the third copy of the file is sourced. Though this would, in
theory, be possible, it would involve some advanced Emacs scripting,
would be fragile, and a maintenance burdon.
3. Move the .dir-locals up into top level src/ directory, then use
Emacs dir-locals directory pattern matching to only apply the rules
for the three directories we care about. The problem is that each
directory has to be listed separately, so we still end up having to
duplicate all the rules.
In the end, it was decided that having three copies of the file,
though not ideal, is probably easiest for now. This was all discussed
in this mailing list thread:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-03/msg00024.html
The copyright date in the new files is left as for gdb/.dir-locals.el,
as the new files are a copy of the old, this is inline with this rule:

[Commit message by Simon Marchi]
The GDB build in non-development mode (turn development to false in

/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/selftest.cc:96: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::reset()'
This is because the gdbsupport configure script doesn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable. When $development
is unset, GDB_AC_SELFTEST defaults to enabling selftests. I don't think
the macro was written with this intention in mind, it just happens to be
that way.
So gdbsupport thinks selftests are enabled, while gdb thinks they are
disabled. gdbsupport compiles in code that calls selftests:: functions,
which are normally provided by gdb, but gdb doesn't provide them, hence
the undefined references.
Fix this by sourcing bfd/development.sh in gdbsupport/configure.ac, so
that the development variable is set.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Added call development.sh.
* configure: Regenerate.

This patch creates a .gitattributes file per each of gdb, gdbserver,

It looks like after doing last minute changes to Makefile.am in commit
06b3c5bdb ("gdbsupport: rename source files to .cc"), I forgot to
re-generate Makefile.in. This patch fixes it.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Re-generate.
The 'gdb_dlopen' function doesn't return NULL if the shlib load
fails; it actually throws an error. This patch updates the comment
to reflect this.

GCC's config/ChangeLog since the last time this merge was done
(in the binutils-gdb commit 0b4d000cc4) is included at the
end of this commit message.
It is worth noting that the binutils-gdb commit 301a9420d9
added the file config/debuginfod.m4 which is not present in GCC's
config/ directory. This file is preserved, unmodified, after this
commit.
In order to regenerate all of the configure files, I configured with
--enable-maintainer-mode, and built the 'all' target. I then did the
same thing on a source tree without this patch, and only committed
those files that changed when this patch was added.

This changes gdbserver so that it no longer builds its own gnulib and
libiberty. Instead, it now relies on the ones that were already built
at the top level.
gdbsupport is still built specially for gdbserver. This is more
complicated and will be tackled in a subsequent patch.

This patch renames the .c source files in gdbsupport to .cc.
In the gdb directory, there is an argument against renaming the source
files, which is that it makes using some git commands more difficult to
do archeology. Some commands have some kind of "follow" option that
makes git try to follow renames, but it doesn't work in all situations.
Given that we have just moved the gdbsupport directory, that argument
doesn't hold for source files in that directory. I therefore suggest
renaming them to .cc, so that they are automatically recognized as C++
by various tools and editors.
The original motivation behind this is that when building gdbsupport
with clang, I get:
CC agent.o
clang: error: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this behavior is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated]
In the gdb/ directory, we make clang happy by passing "-x c++". We
could do this in gdbsupport too, but I think that renaming the files is
a better long-term solution.
gdbserver still does its own build of gdbsupport, so a few changes in
its Makefile are necessary.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.am: Rename source files from .c to .cc.
(CC, CFLAGS): Don't override.
(AM_CFLAGS): Rename to ...

* %.c: Rename to %.cc.

Commit 85f0dd3ce ("[gdb] Fix -Wstrict-null-sentinel warnings") fixed

gdbsupport fails to build with compilers that don't default to C++11
or above. gdbsupport's configure.ac is already using
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX, which sets CXX_DIALECT to the -std=gnu++11
switch if necessary, but the problem is that nowhere are we using
CXX_DIALECT. This fixes it.

I'm seeing this on F27 (a clean build from scratch):

libc-config.h, where it includes config.h, says:

/* This is intended to be a good-enough substitute for glibc system
macros like those defined in <sys/cdefs.h>, so that Gnulib code
shared with glibc can do this as the first #include:
#ifndef _LIBC
# include <libc-config.h>
#endif

part of Gnulib this includes Gnulib's <config.h> and defines macros
that glibc library code would normally assume. */
#include <config.h>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The issue is that that '#include <config.h>' picks up bfd's config.h
instead of gnulib's.
This problem doesn't trigger in the gdb dir because there we generate
config.h under that exact name so gnulib's libc-config.h ends up
picking gdb's config.h instead of gnulib.c and that ends up harmless.
In gdbsupport, the config.h file is really named support-config.h, so
that '#include <config.h>' in libc-config.h doesn't pick it like it
would if it had the conventional config.h name.
This patch fixes it by simply renaming gdbserver's support-config.h to
config.h.

This moves many needed configure checks from gdb and gdbserver into
common.m4. This helps gdbsupport, nat, and target be self-contained.
The result is a bit spaghetti-ish, because gdbsupport uses another m4
file from gdb/. The resulting code is somewhat non-obvious. However,
these problems already exist, so it's not really that much worse than
what is already done.

This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.
