For some reason I ended up staring at some of the "int flags" in
btrace-related code, and I got confused because I had no clue what the
flags where supposed to indicate.
Fix that by using enum_flags, so that:
#1 - it's clear from the type what the flags are about, and
#2 - the compiler can catch mismatching mistakes

The commit
d309493 target: consider addressable unit size when reading/writing memory
introduced the possibility of reading memory of targets with
non-8-bit-bytes (e.g. memories that store 16 bits at each address).
The documentation of target_read and target_write was updated
accordingly, but to_xfer_partial, which is very related, wasn't updated.
This commit fixes that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_xfer_partial>: Update doc to
talk about addressable units instead of bytes.
This is the most important (and the biggest, sorry) patch of the
series. It moves fork_inferior from gdb/fork-child.c to
nat/fork-inferior.c and makes all the necessary adjustments to both
GDB and gdbserver to make sure everything works OK.
There is no "most important change" with this patch; all changes are
made in a progressive way, making sure that gdbserver had the
necessary features while not breaking GDB at the same time.
I decided to go ahead and implement a partial support for starting the
inferior with a shell on gdbserver, although the full feature comes in
the next patch. The user won't have the option to disable the
startup-with-shell, and also won't be able to change which shell
gdbserver will use (other than setting the $SHELL environment
variable, that is).
Everything is working as expected, and no regressions were present
during the tests.

* gdb.server/non-existing-program.exp: Update regex in order to
reflect the fact that gdbserver is now using fork_inferior (with a
shell) to startup the inferior.
As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

Changes in v2:
- Added NEWS entry.
- Fixed long lines.
- Address printing with paddress.
Years ago we contributed flash programming patches upstream. The following
patch is a leftover one that complements that functionality by adding a new
command to erase all reported flash memory blocks.
The command is most useful when we're dealing with flash-enabled targets
(mostly bare-metal) and we need to reset the board for some reason.
The wiping out of flash memory regions should help the target come up with a
known clean state from which the user can load a new image and resume
debugging. It is convenient enough to do this from the debugger, and there is
also an MI command to expose this functionality to the IDE's.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Currently, with "maint set target-non-stop on", that is, when gdb
connects with the non-stop/asynchronous variant of the remote
protocol, even with "set non-stop off", GDB always sends one vCont
packet per thread resumed. This patch makes GDB aggregate and
coalesce vCont packets, so we send vCont packets like "vCont;s:p1.1;c"
in non-stop mode too.
Basically, this is done by:
- Adding a new target method target_commit_resume that is called
after calling target_resume one or more times. When resuming a
batch of threads, we'll only call target_commit_resume once after
calling target_resume for all threads.
- Making the remote target defer sending the actual vCont packet to
target_commit_resume.
Special care must be taken to avoid sending a vCont action with a
"wildcard" thread-id (all threads of process / all threads) when that
would resume threads/processes that should not be resumed. See
remote_commit_resume comments for details.
Unlike all-stop's remote_resume implementation, this handles the case
of too many actions resulting in a too-big vCont packet, by flushing
the vCont packet and starting a new one.
E.g., imagining that the "c" action in:
vCont;s:1;c
overflows the packet buffer, we split the actions like:
vCont;s:1
vCont;c
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "maint set
target-non-stop on".
Also tested with a hack that makes remote_commit_resume flush the vCont
packet after every action appended (which caught a few bugs).

This simple commit consolidates the API of
target_supports_multi_process. Since both GDB and gdbserver use the
same function prototype, all that was needed was to move create this
prototype on gdb/target/target.h and turn the macros declared on
gdb/{,gdbserver/}target.h into actual functions.
Regtested (clean pass) on the BuildBot.

This patch consolidates the API of target_mourn_inferior between GDB
and gdbserver, in my continuing efforts to make sharing the
fork_inferior function possible between both.
GDB's version of the function did not care about the inferior's ptid
being mourned, but gdbserver's needed to know this information. Since
it actually makes sense to pass the ptid as an argument, instead of
depending on a global value directly (which GDB's version did), I
decided to make the generic API to accept it. I then went on and
extended all calls being made on GDB to include a ptid argument (which
ended up being inferior_ptid most of the times, anyway), and now we
have a more sane interface.
On GDB's side, after talking to Pedro a bit about it, we decided that
just an assertion to make sure that the ptid being passed is equal to
inferior_ptid would be enough for now, on the GDB side. We can remove
the assertion and perform more operations later if we ever pass
anything different than inferior_ptid.
Regression tested on our BuildBot, everything OK.
I'd appreciate a special look at gdb/windows-nat.c's modification
because I wasn't really sure what to do there. It seemed to me that
maybe I should build a ptid out of the process information there, but
then I am almost sure the assertion on GDB's side would trigger.

This commit moves the target_wait prototype from the GDB-specific
target.h header to the common target/target.h header. Then, it
creates a compatible implementation of target_wait on gdbserver using
the_target->wait, and adjusts the (only) caller (mywait function).
Pretty straightforward, no regressions introduced.

When executing commands on a secondary UI running the MI interpreter,
some commands that should be synchronous are not. MI incorrectly
continues processing input right after the synchronous command is
sent, before the target stops.
The problem happens when we emit MI async events (=library-loaded,
etc.), and we go about restoring the previous terminal state, we end
up calling target_terminal_ours, which incorrectly always installs the
current UI's input_fd in the event loop... That is, code like this:
old_chain = make_cleanup_restore_target_terminal ();
target_terminal_ours_for_output ();
fprintf_unfiltered (mi->event_channel, "library-loaded");
...
do_cleanups (old_chain);
The fix is to move the add_file_handler/delete_file_handler calls out
of target_terminal_$foo, making these completely no-ops unless called
with the main UI as current UI.

* lib/mi-support.exp (mi_expect_interrupt): Remove anchors.
Some analysis we did here showed that increasing the cap on the
transfer size in target.c:memory_xfer_partial could give 20% or more
improvement in remote load across JTAG. Transfer sizes were capped
to 4K bytes because of performance problems encountered with the
restore command, documented here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00611.html
and in commit 67c059c29e ("Improve performance of large restore
commands").
The 4K cap was introduced because in a case where the restore command
requested a 100MB transfer, memory_xfer_partial would repeatedy
allocate and copy an entire 100MB buffer in order to properly handle
breakpoint shadow instructions, even though memory_xfer_partial would
actually only write a small portion of the buffer contents.
A couple of alternative solutions were suggested:
* change the algorithm for handling the breakpoint shadow instructions
* throttle the transfer size up or down based on the previous actual
transfer size
I tried implementing the throttling approach, and my implementation
reduced the performance in some cases.
This patch implements a new target function that returns that target's
limit on memory transfer size. It defaults to ULONGEST_MAX bytes,
because for native targets there is no marshaling and thus no limit is
needed. For remote targets it uses get_memory_write_packet_size.

Several targets have a copy of the same code that prints
"Detaching from program ..."
in their target_detach implementation. Factor that out to a common
function.
(For now, I left the couple targets that print this a bit differently
alone. Maybe this could be further pulled out into infcmd.c. If we
did that, and those targets want to continue printing differently,
this new function could be converted to a target method.)

If the user presses Ctrl-C immediately before target_terminal_inferior
is called and the target is resumed, instead of after, the Ctrl-C ends
up pending in the quit flag until the target next stops.
remote.c has this bit to handle this:
if (!target_is_async_p ())
{
ofunc = signal (SIGINT, sync_remote_interrupt);
/* If the user hit C-c before this packet, or between packets,
pretend that it was hit right here. */
if (check_quit_flag ())
sync_remote_interrupt (SIGINT);
}
But that's only reachable if async is off, while async is on by
default nowadays. It's also obviously not reacheable on native
targets.
This patch generalizes that to all targets.
We can't remove that remote.c bit yet, until we get rid of the sync
SIGINT handler though. That'll be done later in the series.

when GDB goes to python extension, or other language extension, the
SIGINT handler is changed, and is restored when GDB leaves extension
language. GDB only stays in extension language for a very short period
in this case, but if ctrl-c is pressed at that moment, python extension
will handle the SIGINT, and exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt is shown.
Language extension is used in GDB side rather than inferior side,
so GDB should only change SIGINT handler for extension language when
the terminal is ours (not inferior's). This is what this patch does.
With this patch applied, I run random-signal.exp in a loop for 18
hours, and no fail is shown.

When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

Nowadays, GDB only knows whether architecture supports hardware single
step or software single step (through gdbarch hook software_single_step),
and for a given instruction or instruction sequence, GDB knows how to
do single step (hardware or software). However, GDB doesn't know whether
the target supports hardware single step. It is possible that the
architecture doesn't support hardware single step, such as arm, but
the target supports, such as simulator. This was discussed in this
thread https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-12/msg00033.html before.
I encounter this problem for aarch64 multi-arch support. When aarch64
debugs arm program, gdbarch is arm, so software single step is still
used. However, the underneath linux kernel does support hardware
single step, so IWBN to use it.
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook to_can_do_single_step, and
only use it in arm_linux_software_single_step to decide whether or not
to use hardware single step. On the native aarch64 linux target, 1 is
returned. On other targets, -1 is returned. On the remote target, if
the target supports s and S actions in the vCont? reply, then target
can do single step. However, old GDBserver will send s and S in the
reply to vCont?, which will confuse new GDB. For example, old GDBserver
on arm-linux will send s and S in the reply to vCont?, but it doesn't
support hardware single step. On the other hand, new GDBserver, on
arm-linux for example, will not send s and S in the reply to vCont?,
but old GDB thinks it doesn't support vCont packet at all. In order
to address this problem, I add a new qSupported feature vContSupported,
which indicates GDB wants to know the supported actions in the reply
to vCont?, and qSupported response contains vContSupported if the
stub is able tell supported vCont actions in the reply of vCont?.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
then, GDB knows the stub can do single step, and may stop using software
single step even the architecture doesn't support hardware single step.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on arm, the last vCont?
reply will become:
<- vCont;c;C;t
GDB thinks the target doesn't support single step, so it will use software
single step.
If the patched GDB talks with unpatched GDBserver, the RSP traffic is like
this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
although GDBserver returns s and S, GDB still thinks GDBserver may not
support single step because it doesn't support vContSupported.
If the unpatched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like:
-> $qSupported:...+;
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
Since GDB doesn't sent vContSupported in the qSupported feature, GDBserver
sends s and S regardless of the support of hardware single step.

This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

This patch makes the execution control code use largely the same
mechanisms in both sync- and async-capable targets. This means using
continuations and use the event loop to react to target events on sync
targets as well. The trick is to immediately mark infrun's event loop
source after resume instead of calling wait_for_inferior. Then
fetch_inferior_event is adjusted to do a blocking wait on sync
targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver, with and without
"maint set target-async off".

Currently, when remote debugging, if you type Ctrl-C just while the
target stopped for an internal event, and GDB is busy doing something
that takes a while (e.g., fetching chunks of a shared library off of
the target, with vFile, to process ELF headers and debug info), the
Ctrl-C is lost.
The patch hooks up the QUIT macro to a new target method that lets the
target react to the double-Ctrl-C before the event loop is reached,
which allows reacting to a double-Ctrl-C even when GDB is busy doing
some long operation and not waiting for a stop reply. That end result
is:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
Interrupted while waiting for the program.
Give up waiting? (y or n) y
Quit
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 11673 0x00007ffff7deb240 in _dl_debug_state () from target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb)
If, however, GDB is waiting for a stop reply (because the target has
been resumed, with e.g., vCont;c), but the target isn't responding, we
now get:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
The target is not responding to interrupt requests.
Stop debugging it? (y or n) y
Disconnected from target.
(gdb) info threads
No threads.
This offers to disconnect, because when we're waiting for a stop
reply, there's nothing else we can send the target other than an
interrupt request. And if that doesn't work, there's nothing else we
can do.
The Ctrl-C is presently lost because until we get to a user-visible
stop, the SIGINT handler that is installed is the one that forwards
the interrupt to the remote side, with the \003 "packet" [1]. But,
gdbserver ignores an interrupt request if the program is stopped.
Still, even if it didn't, the server can only report back a
stop-because-of-SIGINT when the program is next resumed. And it may
take a while to actually re-resume the target.
[1] - In the old sync days, the remote target would react to a
double-Ctrl-C by asking users whether they wanted to give up waiting
and disconnect. The code is still there, but it it isn't reacheable
on most hosts, which support serial connections in async mode
(probably only DJGPP doesn't). Even then, in sync mode, remote.c's
SIGINT handler is only installed while the target is resumed, and is
removed as soon as the target sends back a stop reply. That means
that a Ctrl-C just while GDB is processing an internal event can end
up with an odd "Quit" at the prompt instead of "Program stopped by
SIGINT". In contrast, in async mode, remote.c's SIGINT handler is set
up as long as target_terminal_inferior or
target_terminal_ours_for_output are in effect (IOW, until we get a
user-visible stop and call target_terminal_ours), so the user
shouldn't get back a spurious Quit. However, it's still desirable to
be able to interrupt a long-running GDB operation, if GDB takes a
while to re-resume the target or get back to the event loop.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

That is, we get "[$thread] #1 stopped" instead of SIGINT.
The issue is that we don't currently distinguish send
"interrupt/ctrl-c" to target terminal vs "stop/pause" thread well;
both cases go through "target_stop".
And then, the native Linux backend (linux-nat.c) implements
target_stop with SIGSTOP in non-stop mode, and SIGINT in all-stop
mode. Since "maint set target-non-stop on" forces the backend to be
always running in non-stop mode, even though the user-visible behavior
is "set non-stop" is "off", "interrupt" causes a SIGSTOP instead of
the SIGINT the test expects.
Fix this by introducing a target_interrupt method to use in the
"interrupt/ctrl-c" case, so "set non-stop off" can always work the
same irrespective of "maint set target-non-stop on/off". I'm
explictly considering changing the "set non-stop on" behavior as out
of scope here.
Most of the patch is an across-the-board rename of to_stop hook
implementations to to_interrupt. The only targets where something
more than a rename is being done are linux-nat.c and remote.c, which
are the only targets that support async, and thus are the only ones
the core side calls target_stop on.

This finally implements user-visible all-stop mode running with the
target_ops backend always in non-stop mode. This is a stepping stone
towards finer-grained control of threads, being able to do interesting
things like thread groups, associating groups with breakpoints, etc.
From the user's perspective, all-stop mode is really just a special
case of being able to stop and resume specific sets of threads, so it
makes sense to do this step first.
With this, even in all-stop, the target is no longer in charge of
stopping all threads before reporting an event to the core -- the core
takes care of it when it sees fit. For example, when "next"- or
"step"-ing, we can avoid stopping and resuming all threads at each
internal single-step, and instead only stop all threads when we're
about to present the stop to the user.
The implementation is almost straight forward, as the heavy lifting
has been done already in previous patches. Basically, we replace
checks for "set non-stop on/off" (the non_stop global), with calls to
a new target_is_non_stop_p function. In a few places, if "set
non-stop off", we stop all threads explicitly, and in a few other
places we resume all threads explicitly, making use of existing
methods that were added for teaching non-stop to step over breakpoints
without displaced stepping.
This adds a new "maint set target-non-stop on/off/auto" knob that
allows both disabling the feature if we find problems, and
force-enable it for development (useful when teaching a target about
this. The default is "auto", which means the feature is enabled if a
new target method says it should be enabled. The patch implements the
method in linux-nat.c, just for illustration, because it still returns
false. We'll need a few follow up fixes before turning it on by
default. This is a separate target method from indicating regular
non-stop support, because e.g., while e.g., native linux-nat.c is
close to regression free with all-stop-non-stop (with following
patches will fixing the remaining regressions), remote.c+gdbserver
will still need more fixing, even though it supports "set non-stop
on".
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, with and without "set displaced
off", and with and without "maint set target-non-stop on"; and also
against gdbserver.

That is, step past breakpoints by:
- pausing all threads
- removing breakpoint at PC
- single-step
- reinsert breakpoint
- restart threads
similarly to all-stop (with displaced stepping disabled). This allows
non-stop to work on targets/architectures without displaced stepping
support. That is, it makes displaced stepping an optimization instead
of a requirement. For example, in principle, all GNU/Linux ports
support non-stop mode at the target_ops level, but not all
corresponding gdbarch's implement displaced stepping. This should
make non-stop work for all (albeit, not as efficiently). And then
there are scenarios where even if the architecture supports displaced
stepping, we can't use it, because we e.g., don't find a usable
address to use as displaced step scratch pad. It should also fix
stepping past watchpoints on targets that have non-continuable
watchpoints in non-stop mode (e.g., PPC, untested). Running the
instruction out of line in the displaced stepping scratch pad doesn't
help that case, as the copied instruction reads/writes the same
watched memory... We can fix that too by teaching GDB to only remove
the watchpoint from the thread that we want to move past the
watchpoint (currently, removing a watchpoint always removes it from
all threads), but again, that can be considered an optimization; not
all targets would support it.
For those familiar with the gdb and gdbserver Linux target_ops
backends, the implementation should look similar, except it is done on
the core side. When we pause threads, we may find they stop with an
interesting event that should be handled later when the thread is
re-resumed, thus we store such events in the thread object, and mark
the event as pending. We should only consume pending events if the
thread is indeed resumed, thus we add a new "resumed" flag to the
thread object. At a later stage, we might add new target methods to
accelerate some of this, like "pause all threads", with corresponding
RSP packets, but we'd still need a fallback method for remote targets
that don't support such packets, so, again, that can be deferred as
optimization.
My _real_ motivation here is making it possible to reimplement
all-stop mode on top of the target always working on non-stop mode, so
that e.g., we can send RSP packets to a remote target even while the
target is running -- can't do that in the all-stop RSP variant, by
design).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "set displaced off"
forced. The latter forces the new code paths whenever GDB needs to
step past a breakpoint.

reverse-step^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaed26c0^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp: reverse-step into solib function one
when GDB reverse step into a function, GDB wants to skip prologue so
it requests TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read some code memory in
memory_xfer_partial_1. However in dcache_read_memory_partial, the object
becomes TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY
return ops->to_xfer_partial (ops, TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY, NULL,
myaddr, NULL, memaddr, len,
xfered_len);
in reverse debugging, ops->to_xfer_partial is record_full_core_xfer_partial
and it will return TARGET_XFER_E_IO because it can't find any records.
The test fails.
At this moment, the delegate relationship is like
dcache -> record-core -> core -> exec
and we want to GDB read memory across targets, which means if the
requested memory isn't found in record-core, GDB can read memory from
core, and exec even further if needed. I find raw_memory_xfer_partial
is exactly what I want.

The return value of target_can_use_hardware_watchpoint isn't well
documented, so this patch is to update the comments to reflect the
fact. This patch also removes a trailing ";" which is picked up
from Pedro's patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00527.html
