It was observed that in a multi-threaded application on GNU/Linux,
that if the user has set the SIGSTOP to be pass (using GDB's handle
command) then the inferior would hang upon hitting a breakpoint.
What happens is that when a thread hits the breakpoint GDB tries to
stop all of the other threads by sending them a SIGSTOP and setting
the stop_requested flag in the target_ops structure - this can be seen
in infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
GDB then waits for all of the other threads to stop.
When the SIGSTOP event arrives we eventually end up in
linux-nat.c:linux_nat_filter_event, which has the job of deciding if
the event we're looking at (the SIGSTOP arriving in this case) is
something that should be reported back to the core of GDB.
One of the final actions of this function is to check if we stopped
due to a signal, and if we did, and the signal has been set to 'pass'
by the user then we ignore the event and resume the thread.
This code already has some conditions in place that mean the event is
reported to GDB even if the signal is in the set of signals to be
passed to the inferior.
In this commit I extend this condition such that:
If the signal is a SIGSTOP, and the thread's stop_requested flag is
set (indicating we're waiting for the thread to stop with a SIGSTOP)
then we should report this SIGSTOP to GDB and not pass it to the
inferior.
With this change in place the test now passes. Regression tested on
x86-64 GNU/Linux with no regressions.

The problem is that a "Compilation directory is <dir>" line is expected, but
this is missing due to the fact the the compilation unit for main.c doesn't

* gdb.base/list-missing-source.exp: Allowing the "Compilation
directory" line to be missing.
The gdb.base/info-types.exp test-case FAILs with gcc/g++ 4.8 because the DWARF
record for the 'unsigned int' type is missing in the executables, while it is
present for gcc/g++ 7.4.1.
For a minimal example using gcc 7.4.1:
...
$ echo "enum enum_t { AA, BB, CC }; enum enum_t var;" > enum.c
$ gcc enum.c -c -g
...
we find that the enum type has DW_AT_encoding 'unsigned':
<1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<1e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
<22> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<23> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<24> DW_AT_type : <0x3e>
<28> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<29> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<2a> DW_AT_sibling : <0x3e>
...
and a DW_AT_type reference to the type 'unsigned int':
...
<1><3e>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<3f> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<40> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<41> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x26): unsigned int
...
With gcc 4.8.5 however, we have no 'unsigned' encoding, and no DW_AT_type:
...
<1><1d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<1e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f): enum_t
<22> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<23> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<24> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<25> DW_AT_sibling : <0x39>
...
as well as no record for 'unsigned int'.
Make the test-case pass with gcc/g++ 4.8 by making the presence of the
'unsigned int' type optional.

startup_with_shell was changed to be of "bool" type, but I noticed
that the definition in gdbserver disagreed. This disagreement caused
some regressions on a big-endian machine.
This patch removes the redundant declaration and definition of
startup_with_shell and ensures that such clashes will be diagnosed.
This moves the declaration to common-inferior.h, and introduces a new
common-inferior.c, as suggested by Pedro.

GDB's py-format-string test case depends on endianness. In particular it
relies on the first byte of the machine representation of 42 (as an int)
to be 42 as well. While this is indeed the case for little-endian
machines, big-endian machines store a zero in the first byte instead. The
wrong assumption leads to lots of FAILs on such architectures.
Fix this by filling the affected union with bytes of the same value, such
that endianness does not matter. Use the value 42, to keep the character
in the first byte unchanged.

This adds the $_ada_exception convenience variable. It is set by the
Ada exception catchpoints, and holds the address of the exception
currently being thrown. This is useful because it allows more
fine-grained filtering of exceptions than is possible using the
existing "catch" syntax.
This also simplifies Ada catchpoints somewhat; because the catchpoint
must now carry the "kind", it's possible to remove many helper
functions.

In ELF, if a data symbol is defined in a shared library and used by
the main program, it will be subject to a "copy relocation". In this
scenario, the main program has a copy of the symbol in question, and a
relocation that tells ld.so to copy the data from the shared library.
Then the symbol in the main program is used to satisfy all references.
This patch changes gdb to handle this scenario. Data symbols coming
from ELF shared libraries get a special flag that indicates that the
symbol's address may be subject to copy relocation.
I looked briefly into handling copy relocations by looking at the
actual relocations in the main program, but this seemed difficult to
do with BFD.
Note that no caching is done here. Perhaps this could be changed if
need be; I wanted to avoid possible problems with either objfile
lifetimes and changes, or conflicts with the long-term (vapor-ware)
objfile splitting project.

This changes current_source_symtab and current_source_line to be
per-program-space. This ensures that switching inferiors will
preserve the current "list" location for that inferior, and also
ensures that the default expression evaluation context always comes

gdb.multi test case once this entire series has been applied.

Replace a VEC with a std::vector in btrace.h, and update btrace.c to

untested by the GDB testsuite. I've tried to do a like for like
replacement when moving to std::vector, with minimal refactoring to
try and avoid introducing any bugs.
As the new vector is inside a union I've currently used a pointer to
vector, which makes the code slightly uglier than it might otherwise
be, but again, due to lack of testing I'm reluctant to start
refactoring the code in a big way.

Converts a VEC into a std::vector in gdbsupport/btrace-common.h. This
commit just performs a mechanical conversion and doesn't do any
refactoring. One consequence of this is that the std::vector must
actually be a pointer to std::vector as it is placed within a union.
It might be possible in future to refactor to a class hierarchy and
remove the need for a union, but I'd rather have that be a separate
change to make it easier to see the evolution of the code.

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

This introduces a few gdb-specific %p format suffixes. This is useful

code that is more i18n-friendly.
The comment before ui_out::message explains the details.
Note that the tests had to change a little. When using one of the gdb
printf functions with styling, there can be spurious style changes
emitted to the output. This did not seem worthwhile to fix, as the
low-level output functions are rather spaghetti-ish already, and I
didn't want to make them even worse.
This change also necessitated adding support for "*" as precision and
width in format_pieces. These are used in various spots in gdb, and
it seemed better to me to implement them than to remove the uses.

The pretty-print test case fails on s390/s390x because it relies on a
little-endian representation of bit fields. Little-endian architectures
typically allocate bit fields from least to most significant bit, but
big-endian architectures typically use the reverse order, allocating the
most significant bit first. Thus the two bit fields in each of the test
case's unions overlap either in their lower or in their higher bits,
depending on the target's endianness:
union {
int three : 3;
int four : 4;
};
Now, when initializing 'three' with 3, 'four' will become 3 on little
endian targets, but 6 on big-endian targets, making it FAIL there.
Fix this by initializing the longer bit field instead and using an
all-ones bit pattern. In this way the result does not depend on
endianness. Use 'unsigned' instead of int for one of the bit fields in
each of the unions, to increase the variety of resulting values.

* gdb.base/pretty-print.c (struct s1_t): Change fields 'three' and

Commit f2aec7f6d1 changed gdb_datadir to std::string.
So, xstrdup-ing the result of relocate_gdb_directory (returning a std::string)
is not needed and creates a leak.
Fix the leak by removing the xstrdup and the not needed c_str ().
Also removes a useless conversion of gdb_datadir to std::string.

It seems to me that we generally do not want warnings in these test

the "dyn" keyword; by that time I expect that all the Rust compilers
in common use will support it. In the meantime it seemed simplest to

In Fedora GDB, we carry the following patch:
8ac06474ff/f/gdb-attach-fail-reasons-5of5.patch
Its purpose is to try to detect a specific scenario where SELinux's
'deny_ptrace' option is enabled, which prevents GDB from ptrace'ing in
order to debug the inferior (PTRACE_ATTACH and PTRACE_TRACEME will
fail with EACCES in this case).
I like the idea of improving error detection and providing more
information to the user (a simple "Permission denied" can be really
frustrating), but I don't fully agree with the way the patch was
implemented: it makes GDB link against libselinux only for the sake of
consulting the 'deny_ptrace' setting, and then prints a warning if
ptrace failed and this setting is on.
My first thought (and attempt) was to make GDB print a generic warning
when a ptrace error happened; this message would just point the user
to our documentation, where she could find more information about
possible causes for the error (and try to diagnose/fix the problem).
This proved to be too simple, and I was convinced that it is actually
a good idea to go the extra kilometre and try to pinpoint the specific
problem (or problems) preventing ptrace from working, as well as
provide useful suggestions on how the user can fix things.
Here is the patch I came up with. It implements a new function,
'linux_ptrace_restricted_fail_reason', which does a few things to
check what's wrong with ptrace:
- It dlopen's "libselinux.so.1" and checks if the "deny_ptrace"
option is enabled.
- It reads the contents of "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" and
checks if it's different than 0.
For each of these checks, if it succeeds, the user will see a message
informing about the restriction in place, and how it can be disabled.
For example, if "deny_ptrace" is enabled, the user will see:
# gdb /usr/bin/true
...
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Permission denied
The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB
from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
setsebool deny_ptrace off
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
During startup program exited with code 127.
(gdb)
In case "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" is > 0:
# gdb /usr/bin/true
...
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Operation not permitted
The Linux kernel's Yama ptrace scope is in effect, which can prevent
GDB from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
During startup program exited with code 127.
(gdb)
If both restrictions are enabled, both messages will show up.
This works for gdbserver as well, and actually fixes a latent bug I
found: when ptrace is restricted, gdbserver would hang due to an
unchecked ptrace call:
# gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Operation not permitted
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED!
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2668100 No such process
[ Here you would have to issue a C-c ]
Now, you will see:
# gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Permission denied
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED!
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2766868 No such process
gdbserver: Could not trace the inferior process.
gdbserver: ptrace: Permission denied
The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB
from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
setsebool deny_ptrace off
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
#
(I decided to keep all the other messages, even though I find them a
bit distracting).
If GDB can't determine the cause for the failure, it will still print
the generic error message which tells the user to check our
documentation:
There might be restrictions preventing ptrace from working. Please see
the appendix "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions" in the GDB documentation
for more details.
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
This means that the patch expands our documentation and creates a new
appendix section named "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions", with
sub-sections for each possible restriction that might be in place.
Notice how, on every message, we instruct the user to "do the right
thing" if gdbserver is being used. This is because if the user
started gdbserver *before* any ptrace restriction was in place, and
then, for some reason, one or more restrictions get enabled, then the
error message will be displayed both on gdbserver *and* on the
connected GDB. Since the user will be piloting GDB, it's important to
explicitly say that the ptrace restrictions are enabled in the target,
where gdbserver is running.
The current list of possible restrictions is:
- SELinux's 'deny_ptrace' option (detected).
- YAMA's /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope setting (detected).
- seccomp on Docker containers (I couldn't find how to detect).
It's important to mention that all of this is Linux-specific; as far
as I know, SELinux, YAMA and seccomp are Linux-only features.
I tested this patch locally, on my Fedora 30 machine (actually, a
Fedora Rawhide VM), but I'm not proposing a testcase for it because of
the difficulty of writing one.

dwarf2read.c will create stub types for Ada "Taft Amendment" types.
These stub types can currently be exposed to Python code, where they

this seemed unpleasant to me. This patch takes another approach
instead, which is to try not to expose stub types to Python users.

after which amd64_supply_xsave is called.
The amd64_supply_xsave call is supposed to only use initialized parts of
xstateregs, but due to a kernel bug on intel skylake (fixed from 4.14 onwards
by commit 0852b374173b "x86/fpu: Add FPU state copying quirk to handle XRSTOR
failure on Intel Skylake CPUs") it can happen that the mxcsr part of
xstateregs is not initialized, while amd64_supply_xsave expects it to be
initialized, which explains the FAIL mentioned above.
Fix the undetermined behaviour by initializing xstateregs before calling
ptrace, which makes sure we get a 0x0 for mxcsr when this kernel bug occurs,
and which also happens to fix the FAIL.
Furthermore, add an xfail for this FAIL which triggers the same kernel bug:
...
FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-init-x87-values.exp: check_setting_mxcsr_before_enable: \
check new value of MXCSR is still in place
...
Both FAILs pass when using a 5.3 kernel instead on the system mentioned above.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
