When deleting an inferior, delete the associated program space as well
if it becomes unused. This replaces the "pruning" approach, with which
you could forget to call prune_program_spaces (as seen, with the
-remove-inferior command, see [1]).
This allows to remove the prune_program_spaces function. At the same
time, I was able to clean up the delete_inferior* family:
- delete_inferior is unused
- delete_inferior_silent is only used in monitor_close, but is replaced
with discard_all_inferiors [2], so it becomes unused
- All remaining calls to delete_inferior_1 are with silent=1, so the
parameter is removed
- delete_inferior_1 is renamed to delete_inferior
I renamed pspace_empty_p to program_space_empty_p. I prefer if the
"exported" functions have a more explicit and standard name.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.10.

This is a straightforward replacement of the TUI's use of the
aforementioned hook with the register_changed observer. Since this was
the only user of the hook, this patch also removes the hook.

This allows to remove the prune_program_spaces function. At the same

delete_inferior_silent and delete_inferior were unused, which allowed
renaming delete_inferior_1 to delete_inferior. Also, since all calls to
it were with silent=1, I removed that parameter completely.
I renamed pspace_empty_p to program_space_empty_p. I prefer if the
"exported" functions have a more explicit and standard name.
Tested on Ubuntu 14.10.
This obsoletes my previous patch "Add call to prune_program_spaces in

Without this patch, struct target_desc *tdesc_* are not initialised
properly, that is, fields arch and osabi in 'struct target_desc' are
not set properly. This doesn't cause any problems on single arch
debugging, because arch-utils.c:gdbarch_info_fill will guess correctly.
However, in multi-arch debugging, gdbarch_info_fill gets the aarch64
arch, but the target description is for arm (because the current
inferior is 32-bit arm).
It is a surprise to me we didn't set architecture to "arm" before in *.xml
files, and I didn't find out why didn't do so. AFAICS,
gdb/features/arm-with-iwmmxt.xml was added firstly (in patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-01/msg00593.html)
which had <architecture>iwmmxt</architecture>, however, afterwards,
architecture isn't set anymore in features/arm-*.xml files (in patches
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00689.html and

This patch is to let aarch64 GDB debug 32-bit arm program natively. In
each function for fetching and storing registers, GDB will check
gdbarch_bfd_arch_info (gdbarch)->bits_per_word, if it is 32, call
the corresponding aarch32 functions in aarch32-linux-nat.c, otherwise
fall back to aarch64 code to fetch and store registers.
aarch64_linux_read_description has to return the right target description,
but we don't have gdbarch available there, so GDB fetches auxv and gets
AT_PHENT, in order to determine whether the target is 32-bit or 64-bit.
I learned this trick from solib-svr4.c.

Changes the documentation for the layout and focus commands.
Instead of documenting each layout (or focus) sub-command as a separate

This change adds support for backtracing through Renesas RX exception
frames.
Determination about the type of frame is made by scanning the
remainder of the function for a return instruction and then looking at
which, if any, return instruction is found. A normal RTS instruction
indicates that the frame is a normal frame. An RTFI instruction
indicates that it's a fast interrupt, and an RTE instruction indicates
that the frame is a (normal) exception frame. If no return instruction
is found within the scanned region - which can happen when the end of
the function cannot be found - it is assumed to be a normal frame.
I was able to test that normal prologue scanning still works by
disabling the dwarf2 sniffer. I've tested this code for normal
interrupts. The fast interrupt case has not been tested.

When I replaced TUI's frame_changed hook to fix PR tui/13378 I assumed
that there's no reason to refresh register information following a call
to "up", "down" or "frame". This assumption was made to fix the problem
of refreshing frame information twice following a sync-execution normal
stop (once in tui_normal_stop and then in tui_before_prompt) -- the
second refresh removing any highlights made by the first.
I was wrong about that -- GDB's snapshot of register information is
per-frame, and when the frame changes, registers do too (most
prominently the %rip and %rsp registers). So e.g. GDB 7.8 would
highlight such register changes after invoking "up", "down" or "frame",
and current GDB does not.
To fix this regression, this patch adds another (sufficient) condition
for refreshing register information: in
tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information, always refresh register
information if frame information has changed. This makes register
information get refreshed following a call to "up", "down" or "frame"
while still avoiding the "double refresh" issue following a normal stop.
This condition may seem to obsolete the existing registers_too_p
parameter, but it does not: following a normal stop, it is possible that
registers may have changed while frame information had not. We could be
on the exact same PC with different register values. The new condition
would not catch such a case, but the registers_too_p condition will. So
both conditions seem necessary (and either one is sufficient).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information):
Update commentary. Always refresh the registers when frame
information has changed.
* tui/tui-stack.c (tui_show_frame_info): Update commentary.

The select_frame hook is used by TUI to update TUI's frame and register
information following changes to the selected frame. The problem with
this hook is that it gets called after every single frame change, even
if the frame change is only temporary or internal. This is the primary
cause of flickering and slowdown when running the inferior under TUI
with conditional breakpoints set. Internal GDB events are the source of
many calls to select_frame and these internal events are triggered
frequently, especially when a few conditional breakpoints are set.
This patch removes the select_frame hook altogether and instead makes
the frame and register information get updated in two key places (using
observers): after an inferior stops, and right before displaying a
prompt. The latter hook covers the case when frame information must be
updated following a call to "up", "down" or "frame", and the former
covers the case when frame and register information must be updated
after a call to "continue", "step", etc. or after the inferior stops in
async execution mode. Together these hooks should cover all the cases
when frame information ought to be refreshed (and when the relevant
windows ought to be subsequently updated).
The print_frame_info_listing hook is also effectively obsolete now, but
it still must be set while the TUI is active because its caller
print_frame_info will otherwise assume that the CLI is active, and will
print the frame informaion accordingly. So this patch also sets the
print_frame_info_listing hook to a dummy callback, in lieu of outright
removing it yet.
Effectively, with this patch, frame/PC changes that do not immediately
precede an inferior-stop event or a prompt display event no longer cause
TUI's frame and register information to be updated.
And as a result of this change and of the previous change to
tui_show_frame_info, the TUI is much more disciplined about updating the
screen, and so the flicker as described in the PR is totally gone.

tui_show_frame_info is responsible for updating the visible windows
following a change in frame information (that being the currently
selected frame, PC, line number, etc). Currently it always redraws and
refreshes each window even if frame information has not changed. This
behavior is inefficient and helps contribute to the occassional
flickering of the TUI as described in the mentioned PR.
This patch makes tui_show_frame_info refresh the windows only if frame
information has changed. Determining whether frame information has
changed is done indirectly by determining whether the locator has
changed. This approach is convenient and yet sensible because the
locator contains all the relevant info we need to check anyway: the
current PC, the line number, the name of the executable and the name of
the current function. Probably only the PC is really necessary to
check, but it doesn't hurt to check every field.
Effectively, with this patch, consecutive calls to select_frame with the
same frame/PC no longer cause TUI's frame information to be updated
multiple times.

The call to tui_alloc_content in tui_set_locator_info passes
locator->type as the type of the window whose content is being
allocated. This may seem correct but it's actually not because when
this code path actually get executed locator->type has not yet been to
set LOCATOR_WIN so it defaults to 0 i.e. SRC_WIN. Thus we allocate the
content of the locator window as if it was the source window. This
oversight turns out not to be a big deal in practice but the patch that
follows depends on the locator's proc_name and full_name arrays to be
initialized to the empty string which is done by tui_alloc_content if
we pass to it LOCATOR_WIN.
This patch fixes this bug by explicitly passing LOCATOR_WIN to
tui_alloc_content.

On GNU/Linux, if an infcall spawns a thread, that thread ends up with
stuck running state. This happens because:
- when linux-nat.c detects a new thread, it marks them as running,
and does not report anything to the core.
- we skip finish_thread_state when the thread that is running the
infcall stops.
As result, that new thread ends up with stuck "running" state, even
though it really is stopped.
On Windows, _all_ threads end up stuck in running state, not just the
one that was spawned. That happens because when a new thread is
detected, unlike linux-nat.c, windows-nat.c reports
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to infrun. It's the fact that that event
does not cause a user-visible stop that triggers the problem. When
the target is re-resumed, we call set_running with a wildcard ptid,
which marks all thread as running. That set_running is not suppressed
because the (leader) thread being resumed does not have in_infcall
set. Later, when the infcall finally finishes successfully, nothing
marks all threads back to stopped.
We can trigger the same problem on all targets by having a thread
other than the one that is running the infcall report a breakpoint hit
to infrun, and then have that breakpoint not cause a stop. That's
what the included test does.
The fix is to stop GDB from suppressing the set_running calls while
doing an infcall, and then set the threads back to stopped when the
call finishes, iff they were originally stopped before the infcall
started. (Note the MI *running/*stopped event suppression isn't
affected.)
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Last year a patch was submitted/approved/commited to eliminate
symbol_matches_domain which was causing this problem. It was later reverted
because it introduced a (severe) performance regression.
Recap:
(gdb) list
1 enum e {A,B,C} e;
2 int main (void) { return 0; }
3
(gdb) p e
Attempt to use a type name as an expression
The parser attempts to find a symbol named "e" of VAR_DOMAIN.
This gets passed down through lookup_symbol and (eventually) into
block_lookup_symbol_primary, which iterates over the block's dictionary
of symbols:
for (sym = dict_iter_name_first (block->dict, name, &dict_iter);
sym != NULL;
sym = dict_iter_name_next (name, &dict_iter))
{
if (symbol_matches_domain (SYMBOL_LANGUAGE (sym),
SYMBOL_DOMAIN (sym), domain))
return sym;
}
The problem here is that we have a symbol named "e" in both STRUCT_DOMAIN
and VAR_DOMAIN, and for languages like C++, Java, and Ada, where a tag name
may be used as an implicit typedef of the type, symbol_matches_domain ignores
the difference between VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN. As it happens, the
STRUCT_DOMAIN symbol is found first, considered a match, and that symbol is
returned to the parser, eliciting the (now dreaded) error message.
Since this bug exists specifically because we have both STRUCT and VAR_DOMAIN
symbols in a given block/CU, this patch rather simply/naively changes
block_lookup_symbol_primary so that it continues to search for an exact
domain match on the symbol if symbol_matches_domain returns a symbol
which does not exactly match the requested domain.
This "fixes" the immediate problem, but admittedly might uncover other,
related bugs. [Paranoia?] However, it causes no regressions (functional
or performance) in the test suite. A similar change has been made
to block_lookup_symbol for other cases in which this bug might appear.
The tests from the previous submission have been resurrected and updated.
However since we can still be given a matching symbol with a different domain
than requested, we cannot say that a symbol "was not found." The error
messages today will still be the (dreaded) "Attempt to use a type name..."

This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which
controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default).
The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of
basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These
common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when
the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the
history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient.
The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to
look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one.
"history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option,
and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's
erasedups option.
[ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum
because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than
leave/erase/ignore. ]

The implementation is pretty straightforward, with the only caveat being
that the "src", "cmd", "next" and "prev" entries get delibrately added
