During a -r (or --emit-relocs) link, if two sections had the same name but
different section types, gold would put relocations for both sections into
the same relocation section even though the data sections remained separate.
For .eh_frame sections, when one section is PROGBITS and another is
X86_64_UNWIND, we really should be using the UNWIND section type and
combining the sections anyway. For other sections, we should be
creating one relocation section for each output data section.

The original problem was fixed (see related PR 22242). But using a typedef
as the declared type for a static member variable, as commented in this PR,
is still causing gdb to get into infinite loop when printing the static
member's value. This problem can be reproduced as follows:
% cat t.cc
class A {
typedef A type;
public:
bool operator==(const type& other) { return true; }
static const type INSTANCE;
};
const A A::INSTANCE;
int main() {
A a;
if (a == A::INSTANCE) {
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
% g++ -g t.cc
% gdb -ex "start" -ex "p a" a.out
The fix is rather trivial - in cp_print_static_field(), should call
check_typedef() to get the static member's real type and use it to
check whether it's a struct or an array.
As Simon suggested, I've added a new test case to the testsuite
and am passing the original type, not the real type, as argument
to both cp_print_value_fields() and val_print().
Re-tested on both aarch64-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu. No regressions.

The vpopcntd templates all need to have Dword added to their memory
operands; the lack thereof was actually a bug preventing certain Intel
syntax code to assemble, so test cases get extended.
In the course of folding their patterns (possible now that the pointless
and partly even bogus VecESize are no longer in the way) I've noticed
that vcvt*2usi, other than their vcvt*2si counterparts, don't allow for
any suffixes. As that is supposedly intentional, make the disassembler
consistently omit suffixes for all to-scalar-int conversion insns.
This is a regression for the corner case of a hidden symbol in a PIC/PIE
binary which is subject to both a new-style GOTDATA relocation and an
old-style GOT relocation. In this case, depending on the link order,
the R_SPARC_RELATIVE dynamic relocation for the GOT slot needed because
of the old-style relocation can be replaced with R_SPARC_NONE coming
from the GOTDATA relocation.
The fix simply records whether an old-style GOT relocation is seen for a
symbol and prevents the R_SPARC_NONE from being generated in this case.

This is a command we somehow forgot to contribute at the time the Ada
language was first contributed to the FSF. This command allows
the user to change the maximum size we allow when reading memory
from dynamic objects (the default is 65536 bytes).
At the moment, this limit is only used by Ada, and so the implementation
is kept inside ada-lang.c. However, it is conceivable that other language
might want to use it also to handle the same kind of issues; for instance,
this might be useful when handling dynamic types in C. So the name
of the setting was made language-neutral, to allow for this.
Note that an alias for "set var" needs to be introduced as well.
We are not adding a test for that, since this is a feature that is
already exercized by numerous existing tests.

I want to add a DWARF index-related feature (automatically produce index
files when loading objfiles in GDB), but I don't want to add many
hundred lines to the already too big dwarf2read.c. I thought it would
be a logical split to move everything related to the DWARF index to its
own file.
I first tried to move everything that reads and writes DWARF indices to
a separate file, but found that the "read" part is a little bit
entangled with the rest of dwarf2read.c, so the line is hard to draw
about where to split. The write part is quite isolated though, so I
moved this part to a new file, dwarf-index-write.c. Some things are
necessary to both reading and writing indices, so I placed them in
dwarf-index-common.{c,h}. The idea would be to have a
dwarf-index-read.c eventually that would use it too (for now that code
is still in dwarf2read.c).
This required moving some things to a new dwarf2read.h header, so they
can be read by the code that writes the index.
The patch is big in number of lines, but it's all existing code being
moved around. The only changes are that some functions are not static
anymore, a declaration is added in a .h file, and therefore the comment
is moved there.
I built-tested it with a little and big endian target.

This patch fixes a known failure in gdb.ada/maint_with_ada.exp
(maintenance check-psymtabs). Another way to witness the same
issue is by considering the following Ada declarations...
type Wrapper is record
A : Integer;
end record;
u00045 : constant Wrapper := (A => 16#060287af#);
pragma Export (C, u00045, "symada__cS");
... which declares a variable name "u00045" but with a linkage
name which is "symada__cS". This variable is a record with one
component, the Ada equivalent of a struct with one field in C.
Trying to print that variable's value currently yields:
(gdb) p /x <symada__cS>
'symada(char, signed)' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
This indicates that GDB was only able to find the minimal symbol,
but not the full symbol. The expected output is:
(gdb) print /x <symada__cS>
$1 = (a => 0x60287af)
The error message gives a hint about what's happening: We processed
the symbol through gdb_demangle, which in the case of this particular
symbol name, ends up matching the C++ naming scheme. As a result,
the demangler transforms our symbol name into 'symada(char, signed)',
thus breaking Ada lookups.
This patch fixes the issue by first introducing a new language_defn
attribute called la_store_sym_names_in_linkage_form_p, which is a boolean
to be set to true for the few languages that do not want their symbols
to have their names stored in demangled form, and false otherwise.
We then use this language attribute to skip the call to gdb_demangle
for all languages whose la_store_sym_names_in_linkage_form_p is true.
In terms of the selection of languages for which the new attribute
is set to true, the selection errs on the side of preserving the
existing behavior, and only changes the behavior for the languages
where we are certain storing symbol names in demangling form is not
needed. It is conceivable that other languages might be in the same
situation, but I not knowing in detail the symbol name enconding
strategy, I decided to play it safe and let other language maintainers
potentially adjust their language if it makes sense to do so.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/22670
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_physname): Do not return the demangled
symbol name if the CU's language stores symbol names in linkage
format.
* language.h (struct language_defn)
<la_store_sym_names_in_linkage_form_p>: New field. Adjust
all instances of this struct.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/maint_with_ada.exp: Remove PR gdb/22670 setup_kfail.
* gdb.ada/notcplusplus: New testcase.
* gdb.base/c-linkage-name.c: New file.
* gdb.base/c-linkage-name.exp: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
This also passes AdaCore's internal GDB testsuite.
In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00741.html,
Pedro asks:
> Doesn't the "info verbose on" bit affect frame filters too?
The answer is that yes, it could. However, it's not completely
effective, because the C code can't guess how many frames might need
to be unwound to satisfy the request -- a frame filter will request as
many frames as it needs.
Also, I tried removing this code from backtrace, and I think the
result is better without it. In particular, now the expansion line
occurs just before the frame that caused the expansion, like:
(gdb) bt no-filters

So, I am proposing this patch to simply remove this code.

* stack.c (backtrace_command_1): Remove verbose code.
This patch changes py-framefilter.c as suggested by Pedro in:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00748.html
In particular, gdb exceptions are now caught at the outermost layer,
rather than in each particular function. This simplifies much of the
code.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-03-26 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_type): Don't catch
exceptions. Return void.
(py_print_value): Likewise.
(py_print_single_arg): Likewise.
(enumerate_args): Don't catch exceptions.
(py_print_args): Likewise.
(py_print_frame): Likewise.
(gdbpy_apply_frame_filter): Catch exceptions here.
