This whole comment is now a bit out of place. I looked into moving it
to handle_inferior_event, close to where in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code
is used, but then there are 3 such places. I then looked at
fragmenting it, pushing bits closer to the definitions of
in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code and gdbarch_skip_solib_resolver, but then
we'd lose the main advantage which is the overview. In the end, I
realized this can fit nicely as internals manual material.
This could possibly be a subsection of a new "run control", or "source
stepping" or "stepping" or some such a bit more general section, but
we can do that when we have more related content... Even the "single
stepping" section is presently empty...

Right now there are two nightly commits to update a file in the tree
with the current date. One commit is for BFD, one is for gdb.
It seems unnecessary to me to do this twice. We can make do with a
single such commit.
This patch changes gdb in a minimal way to reuse the BFD date -- it
extracts it from bfd/version.h and changes version.in to use the
placeholder string "DATE" for those times when a date is wanted.
I propose removing the cron job that updates the version on trunk, and
then check in this patch.
For release branches, we can keep the cron job, but just tell it to
rewrite bfd/version.h. I believe this is a simple change in the
crontab -- the script will work just fine on this file.
This also moves version.in and version.h into common/, to reflect
their shared status; and updates gdbserver to use version.h besides.

This patch adds an option --skip-unavailable to MI command
-data-list-register-values, so that unavailable registers are not
displayed (on the context of traceframes).
The old -data-list-register-values command behaves like
-data-list-register-values x 0 8
^done,register-values=[{number="0",value="<unavailable>"},{number="8",value="0x80483de"}]
With this patch, an option --skip-unavailable is added,
-data-list-register-values --skip-unavailable x 0 8
^done,register-values=[{number="8",value="0x80483de"}]

This patch teaches GDB to take advantage of target-assisted range
stepping. It adds a new 'r ADDR1,ADDR2' action to vCont (vCont;r),
meaning, "step once, and keep stepping as long as the thread is in the
[ADDR1,ADDR2) range".
Rationale:
When user issues the "step" command on the following line of source,
a = b + c + d * e - a;
GDB single-steps every single instruction until the program reaches a
new different line. E.g., on x86_64, that line compiles to:
0x08048434 <+65>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
0x08048438 <+69>: mov 0x30(%esp),%edx
0x0804843c <+73>: add %eax,%edx
0x0804843e <+75>: mov 0x18(%esp),%eax
0x08048442 <+79>: imul 0x2c(%esp),%eax
0x08048447 <+84>: add %edx,%eax
0x08048449 <+86>: sub 0x34(%esp),%eax
0x0804844d <+90>: mov %eax,0x34(%esp)
0x08048451 <+94>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax
and the following is the RSP traffic between GDB and GDBserver:
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3c840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:1;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3e840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:42840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:47840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:49840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:4d840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
--> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0;
IOW, a lot of roundtrips between GDB and GDBserver.
If we add a new command to the RSP, meaning "keep stepping and don't
report a stop until the program goes out of the [0x08048434,
0x08048451) address range", then the RSP traffic can be reduced down
to:
--> vCont;r8048434,8048451:p2db0.2db0;c
<-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2db0.2db0;core:1;
As number of packets is reduced dramatically, the performance of
stepping source lines is much improved.
In case something is wrong with range stepping on the stub side, the
debug info or even gdb, this adds a "set/show range-stepping" command
to be able to turn range stepping off.

Currently, several commands take "0" or "-1" to mean "unlimited".
"show" knows when to print "unlimited":
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 45.
(gdb) set height 0
(gdb) show height
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is unlimited.
However, the user can't herself specify "unlimited" directly:
(gdb) set height unlimited
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
(gdb)
This patch addresses that, by adjusting the set handler for all
integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands to accept literal
"unlimited". It also installs a completer. Presently, we complete on
symbols by default, and at
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00864.html> I've
shown a WIP prototype that tried to keep that half working in these
commands. In the end, it turned out to be more complicated than
justifiable, IMO. It's super rare to want to pass the value of a
variable/symbol in the program to a GDB set/show knob. That'll still
work, it's just that we won't assist with completion anymore. This
patch just sticks with the simple, and completes on "unlimited", and
nothing else. This simplification means that
"set he<tab><tab>"
is all it takes to get to:
"set height unlimited"
The patch then goes through all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited
commands in the tree, and updates both the online help and the manual
to mention that "unlimited" is accepted in addition to 0/-1. In the
cases where the command had no online help text at all, this adds it.
I've tried to make the texts read in a way that "unlimited" is
suggested before "0" or "-1" is.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

* gdb.trace/tsv.exp: Save trace frame to CTF. If GDB supports,
read CTF data by target ctf and call check_tsv.
* gdb.texinfo (gdbserver man): Rename tty to comm. Swap --attach
parameters order. Remove "On some targets" for --attach. Document the
--multi parameter and extended-remote command. Document all the
options.
I hacked "apropos" to dump the whole set of commands (just make it
accept the entry string as regex), and then diffed the output of 7.5
vs 7.6, --enable-targets=all builds. That allowed then checking
whether some commands had not been mentioned in NEWS or the manual.
These are what I found missing. We've been a bit negligent in
requiring documentation bits for debug commands.

* NEWS: Mention "set/show debug aarch64", "set/show debug
coff-pe-read" and "set/show debug mach-o".

* gdb.texinfo (Debugging Output): Document "set/show debug
aarch64", "set/show debug coff-pe-read" and "set/show debug
mach-o".
GDB currently sends a qTStatus even if the target previously replied
an empty packet to a previous qTStatus. If the target doesn't
recognize the packet, there's no point in trying again.
The machinery we have in place is packet_ok, which has the nice side
effect of forcing one to install a configuration command/knob for the
packet in question, which is often handy when you need to debug
things, and/or emulate a target that doesn't support the packet, or even,
it can be used as workaround for the old broken kgdb's that return error
to qTSTatus instead of an empty packet.

qTStatus packet.
