This patch replaces some code in the record targets with target method
delegation.
record-full.c stores pointers to many target methods when the record
target is pushed. Then it later delegates some calls via these. This
is wrong because it violates the target stack contract. In particular
it is ok to unpush a target at any stratum, but record-full does not
keep track of this, so it could potentially call into an unpushed
target.
This patch fixes the problem by using the newly-introduced generic
approach to target delegation for the methods in question.

This patch does the conversion of to_xfer_partial from
LONGEST (*to_xfer_partial) (struct target_ops *ops,
enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len);
to
enum target_xfer_status (*to_xfer_partial) (struct target_ops *ops,
enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len, ULONGEST *xfered_len);
It changes to_xfer_partial return the transfer status and the transfered
length by *XFERED_LEN. Generally, the return status has three stats,
- TARGET_XFER_OK,
- TARGET_XFER_EOF,
- TARGET_XFER_E_XXXX,
See the comments to them in 'enum target_xfer_status'. Note that
Pedro suggested not name TARGET_XFER_DONE, as it is confusing,
compared with "TARGET_XFER_OK". We finally name it TARGET_XFER_EOF.
With this change, GDB core can handle unavailable data in a convenient
way.
The rationale behind this change was mentioned here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00761.html
Consider an object/value like this:
0 100 150 200 512
DDDDDDDDDDDxxxxxxxxxDDDDDD...DDIIIIIIIIIIII..III
where D is valid data, and xxx is unavailable data, and I is beyond
the end of the object (Invalid). Currently, if we start the
xfer at 0, requesting, say 512 bytes, we'll first get back 100 bytes.
The xfer machinery then retries fetching [100,512), and gets back
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE. That's sufficient when you're either
interested in either having the whole of the 512 bytes available,
or erroring out. But, in this scenario, we're interested in
the data at [150,512). The problem is that the last
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE gives us no indication where to
start the read next. We'd need something like:
get me [0,512) >>>
<<< here's [0,100), *xfered_len is 100, returns TARGET_XFER_OK
get me [100,512) >>> (**1)
<<< [100,150) is unavailable, *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE.
get me [150,512) >>>
<<< here's [150,200), *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_OK.
get me [200,512) >>>
<<< no more data, return TARGET_XFER_EOF.
This naturally implies pushing down the decision of whether
to return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE or something else
down to the target. (Which kinds of leads back to tfile
itself reading from RO memory from file (though we could
export a function in exec.c for that that tfile delegates to,
instead of re-adding the old code).
Beside this change, we also add a macro TARGET_XFER_STATUS_ERROR_P to
check whether a status is an error or not, to stop using "status < 0".
This patch also eliminates the comparison between status and 0.
No target implementations to to_xfer_partial adapts this new
interface. The interface still behaves as before.

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

Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add
TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new
option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by
using the target memory cache.
In V4:
- Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc.
- Replace "ON" with "on" in doc.
- "access" -> "accesses".
In V3:
- Rename functions and variables.
- Update command help, doc and NEWS entry.
- Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with
the behaviour of "stack-cache". Since cache invalidation is
transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache"
transitions cause code cache invalidation.
V2 was reviewed by Doug. There are some changes in V3, so I post it

This patch constifies the target_ops method to_detach.
This is a small cleanup, but also, I think, a bug-prevention fix,
since gdb already acts as if the "args" argument here was const.
In particular, top.c:quit_force calls kill_or_detach via
iterate_over_inferiors. kill_or_detach calls target_detach, passing
the same argument each time. So, if one of these methods was not
const-correct, then kill_or_detach would change its behavior in a
strange way.
I could not build every target I modified in this patch. I've
inspected them all by hand, though. Many targets do not use the
"args" parameter; a couple pass it to atoi; and a few pass it on to
the to_detach method of the target beneath. The only code that
required a real change was in linux-nat.c, and that only needed the
introduction of a temporary variable for const-correctness.

target_read_memory & friends build on top of target_read (thus on top
of the target_xfer machinery), but turn all errors to EIO, an errno
value. I think we'd better convert all these to return a
target_xfer_error too, like target_xfer_partial in a previous patch.
The patch starts by doing that.
(The patch does not add a enum target_xfer_error value for '0'/no
error, and likewise does not change the return type of several of
these functions to enum target_xfer_error, because different functions
return '0' with different semantics.)
I audited the tree for memory_error calls, EIO checks, places where
GDB hardcodes 'errno = EIO', and also for strerror calls. What I
found is that nowadays there's really no need to handle random errno
values, other than the EIOs gdb itself hardcodes. No doubt errno
values would appear in common code back in the day when
target_xfer_memory was the main interface to access memory, but
nowadays, any errno value that deprecated interface could return is
just absorved by default_xfer_partial:
else if (xfered == 0 && errno == 0)
/* "deprecated_xfer_memory" uses 0, cross checked against
ERRNO as one indication of an error. */
return 0;
else
return -1;
There are two places in the code that check for EIO and print "out of
bounds", and defer to strerror for other errors. That's
c-lang.c:c_get_string, and valprint.c.:val_print_string. AFAICT, the
strerror branch can never be reached nowadays, as the only error
possible to get at those points is EIO, given that it's GDB itself
that set that errno value (in target_read_memory, etc.).
breakpoint.c:insert_bp_location always prints the error val as if an
errno, returned by target_insert_breakpoint, with strerr. Now the
error here is either always EIO for mem-break.c targets (again
hardcoded by the target_read_memory/target_write_memory functions), so
this always prints "Input/output error" or similar (depending on
host), or, for remote targets (and probably others), this gem:
Error accessing memory address 0x80200400: Unknown error -1.
This patch makes these 3 places print the exact same error
memory_error prints. This changes output, but I think this is better,
for making memory error output consistent with other commands, and, it
means we have a central place to tweak for memory errors.
E.g., this changes:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x5fc660: Input/output error.
to:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x5fc660
Which I find pretty much acceptable.
Surprisingly, only py-prettyprint.exp had a regression, for needing an
adjustment. I also grepped the testsuite for the old errors, and
found no other hits.
Now that errno values aren't used anywhere in any of these memory
access related routines, I made memory_error itself take a
target_xfer_error instead of an errno. The new
target_xfer_memory_error function added recently is no longer
necessary, and is thus removed.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

In entry-values.exp, we have a test where the entry value of 'j' is
unavailable, so it is expected that printing j@entry yields
"<unavailable>". However, the actual output is:

dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full (frame #7) knows to handle
NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR errors, but read_memory always throws
a generic error.
Presently, only the value machinery knows to handle unavailable
memory. We need to push the awareness down to the target_xfer layer,
making it return a finer grained error indication. We can only return
a generic -1 nowadays, which leaves the upper layers with no clue on
why the xfer failed. Use target_xfer_partial directly, rather than
propagating the error through target_read_memory so as to get a better
address to display in the error message.
(target_read_memory & friends build on top of target_read (thus the
target_xfer machinery), but turn all errors to EIO, an errno value. I
think this is a mistake, and we'd better convert all these to return a
target_xfer_error too, but that can be done separately. I looked
around a bit over memory_error calls, and the need to handle random
errno values, other than the EIOs gdb itself hardcodes, probably comes
(only) from deprecated_xfer_memory, which uses errno for error
indication, but I didn't look exhaustively. We should really get rid
of deprecated_xfer_memory and of passing down errno values as error
indication in target_read & friends methods).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver. Fixes the test in
the PR, which will be added to the testsuite later.
