This patch addresses BZ 21005, which is gdb failing to recognize an rdrand
instruction.
It enables support for both rdrand and rdseed and handles extended register
addressing (R8~R15) for 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit.

While looking into PR rust/21097, I found that ptype of a
single-element enum in Rust did not always format the result properly.
In particular, it would leave out the members of a tuple struct.
Further testing showed that it also did the wrong thing for ordinary
struct members as well.
This patch fixes these problems. I'm marking it as being associated
with the PR, since that is where the discovery was made; but this
doesn't actually fix that PR (which I think ultimately is due to a
Rust compiler bug).
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 25, using the system Rust
compiler. I'm checking this in.

This commit fixes a "-gdb-set logging redirect on" crash by not
handling "logging redirect on" on the fly.
Previous discussion here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-01/msg00467.html
Code for handling "logging redirect on" on the fly was added here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00202.html
Meanwhile, MI gained support for logging, but flipping redirect "on"
on the fly was not considered. The result is that this sequence of
commands crashes GDB:
-gdb-set logging on
-gdb-set logging redirect on
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The handling of redirect on the fly is not really a use case we need
to handle, IMO. Its inconsistent (other "set logging foo" commands
aren't handled on the fly), and complicates the code significantly.
Instead of complicating it further for MI, go back to the original
idea of warning, only:

When a variable's location is expressed as DW_OP_implicit_value, but the
given value is longer than needed, which bytes should be used? GDB's
current logic was introduced with a patch from 2011 and uses the "least
significant" bytes:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-08/msg00123.html
Now consider a sub-value from such a location at a given offset, accessed
through DW_OP_implicit_pointer. Which bytes should be used for that? The
patch above *always* uses the last bytes on big-endian targets, ignoring
the offset.
E.g., given the code snippet
const char foo[] = "Hello, world!";
const char *a = &foo[0];
const char *b = &foo[7];
assume that `foo' is described as DW_OP_implicit_value and `a' and `b'
each as DW_OP_implicit_pointer into that value. Then with current GDB
`*a' and `*b' yield the same result -- the string's zero terminator.
This patch basically reverts the portion of the patch above that deals
with DW_OP_implicit_value. This fixes the offset handling and also goes
back to dropping the last instead of the first bytes on big-endian targets
if the implicit value is longer than needed. The latter aspect of the
change probably doesn't matter for actual programs, but simplifies the
logic.
The patch also cleans up the original code a bit and adds appropriate test
cases.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): For

targets. And if the implicit value is longer than needed, extract
the first bytes instead of the "least significant" ones.

When recording is started for a running thread, GDB was able to start tracing
but then failed to read registers to insert the initial entry for the current
PC. We don't really need that initial entry if we don't know where exactly we
started recording. Skip that step to allow recording to be started while
threads are running.
If we do run into errors, we need to undo the tracing enable to not leak this
thread. The operation did not complete so our caller won't clean up this
thread.
For the BTRACE_FORMAT_PT btrace format, we don't need that initial entry since
it will be recorded in the trace. We can omit the call to btrace_add_pc.

With my debug build of Python (--with-pydebug), many tests fails because
of the same issue. Python scripts are loaded by the tests using this
pattern:
(gdb) python exec (open ('file.py').read ())
This causes Python to output this warning:
__main__:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.TextIOWrapper name='file.py' mode='r' encoding='ANSI_X3.4-1968'>
and the test to fail because of that extra output. Instead of using the
open + read + exec trick which leaks the file and causes the warning,
why not just source the files?
(gdb) source file.py
This patch changes this, and standardizes the test names of the tests I
touched to "load python file" (some of them were empty, others were
overly complicated).

These failures don't show up with gdbserver or native gdb on Linux because
they don't export any memory maps, therefore the vector of memory regions is
empty.
Outside of that scenario, we can't guarantee the absence of memory regions
reported by the target upon a connection. In our particular target, we
provide a memory map and the memory regions vector ceases to be empty.
With a non-empty memory regions vector, manipulating memory regions will cause
gdb to be more verbose and output text. For example:
memattr.c:require_user_regions
/* Otherwise, let the user know how to get back. */
if (from_tty)
warning (_("Switching to manual control of memory regions; use "
"\"mem auto\" to fetch regions from the target again."));
memattr.c:create_mem_region
if ((lo >= n->lo && (lo < n->hi || n->hi == 0))
|| (hi > n->lo && (hi <= n->hi || n->hi == 0))
|| (lo <= n->lo && ((hi >= n->hi && n->hi != 0) || hi == 0)))
{
printf_unfiltered (_("overlapping memory region\n"));
return;
}
In my particular case i got both of the above messages.
In order to fix this, i've moved the delete_memory proc from
gdb.base/memattr.exp to a new file lib/memory.exp and made lib/gdb.exp
load that file.
For both gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp and gdb.base/memattr.exp the
patch clears all existing memory regions after running to main. That way we
are guaranteed to have a clean state for memory regions so the tests can
exercise whatever they want and have an expected output pattern.

Changes in v2:
- Renamed arch-specific files to insn-reverse-<arch>.c.
- Adjusted according to reviews.
This patch prepares things for an upcoming testcase for record/replay support
on x86. As is, gdb.reverse/insn-reverse.c is divided into sections guarded by
a few #if blocks, and right now it only handles arm/aarch64.
If we move forward with requiring more tests for record/replay on different
architectures, i think this has the potential to become cluttered with a lot
of differing arch-specific code in the same file.
I've broken up the main file into other files with arch-specific bits
(insn-reverse-<arch>.c). The main file will hold the generic pieces that will
take care of calling the tests.
The arch-specific c files are then included at the top of the generic c file.
I've also added a generic initialize function since we need to run pre-test
checks on x86 to make sure the rdrand/rdseed instructions are supported,
otherwise we will run into a SIGILL.
The arch-specific files will implement their own initialize function with
whatever makes sense. Right now the aarch64 and arm files have an empty
initialization function.
Does this look reasonable?

GDB calls some APIs from opcodes to do disassembly and provide some
call backs. This model makes troubles on C++ exception unwinding,
because GDB is a C++ program, and opcodes is still compiled as C.

C++ exception unwinder can't go across frame #11 unless it has
unwind table. However, C program on many architectures doesn't
have it in default. As a result, GDB aborts, which is described
in PR 20939.
This is not the first time we see this kind of problem. We've
had a commit 89525768cd
"Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH".
We can fix the disassembly bug in a similar way, this is the option one.
Since opcodes is built with gdb, we fix this problem in a different
way as we did for the same issue with readline. Instead of throwing
exception in dis_asm_memory_error, we record the failed memory
address, and throw exception when GDB returns from opcodes disassemblers.

This patch adds a DW_OP_implicit_value in dwarf assembler, and uses
dwarf assembler in implptr-64bit.exp. Using dwarf assembler in
implptr-64bit.exp exposes some limitations in dwarf assembler,
- some variables are not evaluated in the caller's context, so we
can not pass variable to assembler, like this
Dwarf::assemble $asm_file {
cu {
version $dwarf_version
addr_size $addr_size
is_64 $is_64
} {
}
and
{DW_AT_type :$struct_label "DW_FORM_ref$ref_addr_size"}
this limitation is fixed by adding "uplevel" and "subst".
- dwarf assembler doesn't emit DW_FORM_ref_addr for label referencing.
this limitation is fixed by adding a new character "%",
{ type %$int_label }
this means we want to emit DW_FORM_ref_addr for label referencing.
- we can't set the form of label referencing offset in dwarf assembler.
Nowadays, dwarf assembler guesses the form of labels, which is
DW_FORM_ref4. However, in implptr-64bit.exp, both DW_FORM_ref4
and DW_FORM_ref8 is used (see REF_ADDR in implptr-64bit.S). This
patch adds the flexibility of setting the form of label reference.
Both of them below are valid,
{DW_AT_type :$struct_label}
{DW_AT_type :$struct_label DW_FORM_ref8}
the former form is the default DW_FORM_ref4.
I compared the .debug_info of objects without and with this patch
applied. There is no changes except abbrev numbers.

And hopefully helps catch others in the future.
This started out as a test that simply did,
gdb -ex "print 1.0L"
to exercise #1 above.
Then to cover both 32-bit target / 64-bit host and the converse, I
thought of having the testcase print the floats twice, once with the
architecture set to "i386" and then to "i386:x86-64". This way it
wouldn't matter whether gdb was built as 32-bit or a 64-bit program.
Then I thought that other archs might have similar host/target
floatformat conversion issues as well. Instead of hardcoding some
architectures in the test file, I thought we could just iterate over
all bfd architectures and OS ABIs supported by the gdb build being
tested. This is what then exposed all the other problems listed
above...
With an --enable-targets=all, this exercises over 14 thousand
combinations. If left in a single test file, it all consistenly runs
in under a minute on my machine (An Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 MHZ running
Fedora 23). Split in 8 chunks, as in this commit, it runs in around
25 seconds, with make -j8.
To avoid flooding the gdb.sum file, it avoids calling "pass" on each
tested combination/iteration. I'm explicitly not implementing that by
passing an empty message to gdb_test / gdb_test_multiple, because I
still want a FAIL to be logged in gdb.sum. So instead this puts the
internal passes in the gdb.log file, only, prefixed "IPASS:", for
internal pass. TBC, if some iteration fails, it'll still show up as
FAIL in gdb.sum. If this is an approach that takes on, I can see us
extending the common bits to support it for all testcases.

gdb.perf/skip-prologue.exp is intended to measure the performance of
skipping prologue with prologue analysis by setting breakpoints.
However, if program is compiled with debug info, GDB is smart to
skip prologue by line table from debug info, so prologue analysis
is not exercised at all.

information.

New in v2:
- A few adjustments / simplifications were possible now that we
require C++11:
. Use std::unique_ptr to make the user_args_stack std::vector own
its elements:
static std::vector<std::unique_ptr<user_args>> user_args_stack;
. use vector::emplace_back to construct elements directly in the
corresponding vectors.
. use std::to_string instead of adding a gdb::to_string
replacement.
- Now includes a test.
Docs/NEWS are unchanged from v1 and have already been approved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently wrote a user-defined command that could benefit from
supporting an unlimited number of arguments:
http://palves.net/list-active-signal-handlers-with-gdb/
E.g., 'info signal-dispositions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11'
However, we currently only support up to 10 arguments passed to
user-defined commands ($arg0..$arg9).
I can't find a good reason for that, other than "old code with hard
coded limits". This patch removes that limit and modernizes the code
along the way:
- Makes the user_args struct a real C++ class that uses std::vector
for storage.
- Removes the "next" pointer from within user_args and uses a
std::vector to maintain a stack instead.
- Adds a new RAII-based scoped_user_args_level class to help
push/pop user args in the stack instead of using a cleanup.

It'd be handy to be able to iterate over command arguments in
user-defined commands, in order to support optional arguments
($arg0..$argN).
I thought I could make it work with "eval", but alas, it doesn't work
currently. E.g., with:
define test
set $i = 0
while $i < $argc
eval "print $arg%d", $i
set $i = $i + 1
end
end
we get:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = void
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = void
$3 = void
$4 = void
(gdb)
The problem is that "eval" doesn't do user-defined command arguments
substitution after expanding its own argument. This patch fixes that,
which makes the example above work:
(gdb) test 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) test 1 2 3
$2 = 1
$3 = 2
$4 = 3
(gdb)
New test included, similar the above, but also exercises expanding
$argc.
I think this is likely to simplify many scripts out there, so I'm
adding an example to the manual and mentioning it in NEWS as well.

This is PR symtab/16264.
DW_AT_main_subprogram is used to mark a program's entry point. GCC
can emit this, and I hope to change the Rust compiler to emit it as
well.
GDB already supports an older, pre-DWARF 4 convention adopted by
FORTRAN compilers, namely to emit DW_AT_calling_convention for the
"main" function. However, I think this support in GDB had a small
bug, in that it seems to rely on the DW_AT_name being read before
DW_AT_calling_convention. This patch fixes this as well.

Since we don't use suffix rules nor implicit rules in gdb, we can
disable them. The advantage is a slightly faster make [1].
Here are some numbers about the speedup. I ran this on my trusty old
Intel Q6600, so the time numbers are probably higher than what you'd get
on any recent hardware. I ran "make" in the gdb/ directory of an
already built repository (configured with --enable-targets=all). I
recorded the time of execution (average of 5). I then ran "make -d" and
recorded the number of printed lines, which gives a rough idea of the
number of operations done.
I compared the following configurations, to see the impact of both the
empty .SUFFIXES target and the empty pattern rules, as well as running
"make -r", which can be considered the "ideal" case.
A - baseline
B - baseline + .SUFFIXES
C - baseline + pattern rules
D - baseline + .SUFFIXES + pattern rules
E - baseline + make -r
config | time (s) | "make -d"
-----------------------------
A | 5.74 | 2396643
B | 1.19 | 298469
C | 2.81 | 1266573
D | 1.13 | 245489
E | 1.01 | 163914
We can see that the empty .SUFFIXES target has a bigger impact than the
empty pattern rules, but still it doesn't hurt to disable the implicit
pattern rules as well.
There are still some mentions of implicit rules I can't get rid of in
the "make -d" output. For example, it's trying to build .c files from
.w files:
Looking for an implicit rule for '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'infrun'.
Trying implicit prerequisite '/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.w'.
and trying to build Makefile.in from a bunch of extensions:
Looking for an implicit rule for 'Makefile.in'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.o'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.c'.
Trying pattern rule with stem 'Makefile.in'.
Trying implicit prerequisite 'Makefile.in.cc'.
... many more ...
If somebody knows how to disable them, we can do it, but at this point
the returns are minimal, so it is not that important.
I verified that both in-tree and out-of-tree builds work.
[1] Switching from explicit rules to pattern rules for files in
subdirectories actually made it slower, so this is kind of a way to
redeem myself. But it the end it's faster than it was previously,
so it was all worth it. :)

When the user writes or reads a variable whose location is described
with DWARF pieces (DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece), GDB's helper
function copy_bitwise is invoked for each piece. The implementation of
this function has a bug that may result in a corrupted copy, depending
on alignment and bit size. (Full-byte copies are not affected.)
This rewrites copy_bitwise, replacing its algorithm by a fixed version,
and adding an appropriate test case. Without the fix the new test case
fails, e.g.:
print def_t
$2 = {a = 0, b = 4177919}
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: print def_t
Written in binary, the wrong result above looks like this:
01111111011111111111111
Which means that two zero bits have sneaked into the copy of the
original all-one bit pattern. The test uses this simple all-one value
in order to avoid another GDB bug that causes the DWARF piece of a
DW_OP_stack_value to be taken from the wrong end on big-endian
architectures.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (extract_bits_primitive): Remove.
(extract_bits): Remove.
(copy_bitwise): Rewrite. Fixes a possible corruption that may
occur for non-byte-aligned copies.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/nonvar-access.exp: Add a test for accessing
non-byte-aligned bit fields.
The DW_AT_data_bit_offset attribute was introduced by DWARF V4 and
allows specifying the offset of a data member within its containing
entity. But although the new attribute was intended to replace
DW_AT_bit_offset for this purpose, GDB ignores it, and thus GCC still
emits DW_AT_bit_offset instead. See also
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71669.
This change fixes GDB's lack of support for DW_AT_data_bit_offset and
adds an appropriate test case.

DW_AT_data_bit_offset.

respects the DW_AT_data_bit_offset attribute.
I find the big file lists in the Makefiles a bit ugly and not very
practical. Since there are multiple filenames on each line (as much as
fits in 80 columns), it's not easy to add, remove or change a name in
the middle. As a result, we have a mix of long and short lines in no
particular order (ALL_TARGET_OBS is a good example).
I therefore suggest flattening the lists (one name per line) and keeping
them in alphabetical order. The diffs will be much clearer and merge
conflicts will be easier to resolve.
A nice (IMO) side-effect I observed is that the files are compiled
alphabetically by make, so it gives a rough idea of the progress of the
build.
I added a comment in gdb/Makefile.in to mention to keep the file lists
ordered, and gave the general guidelines on what order to respect. I
added a comment in other Makefiles which refers to gdb/Makefile.in, to
avoid duplication.
Running the patch through the buildbot found that gdb.base/default.exp
started to fail. The languages in the error message shown when typing
"set language" have changed order. We could probably improve gdb so
that it prints them in a stable order, regardless of the order of the
object list passed to the linked, but just fixing the test is easier for
now.
New in v2:
- Change ordering style, directories go at the end.
- Cleanup gdbserver's and data-directory's Makefile as well.
- Add comments at top of Makefiles about the ordering.
- Remove wrong trailing backslahes.
- Fix test gdb.base/default.exp.

Since GNU make is now required to build GDB, we can remove everything
that checks whether the current make implemention is the GNU one or
not. I simply removed the @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removed the whole
lines that were prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@.
I removed the code in the configure scripts that set those variables.
I also removed the following bits from the configure scripts:
AC_CHECK_PROGS(MAKE, make): GNU make already defines a MAKE variable
internally to be used when invoking Makefiles recursively. I don't see
this variable being used anywhere else (in scripts for example), so I
think it's safe for removal.
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET: This macro defines a SET_MAKE output variable, which
is meant to be used in Makefiles to define the MAKE variable when
using an implementation of make that doesn't already define it.
Since we are now requiring GNU make, we don't need it anymore.
Plus, I don't see SET_MAKE being used anywhere, so I don't think it
was actually doing anything...
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Remove @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removes lines
prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU
make.
* configure.ac: Remove checks for the make program.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Remove @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removes lines
prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU
make.
* configure.ac: Remove checks for the make program.
* configure: Re-generate.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Remove @GMAKE_TRUE@ prefixes and removes lines
prefixed with @GMAKE_FALSE@. Update comment related to non-GNU
make.
* configure.ac: Remove checks for the make program.
* configure: Re-generate.
This patch modifies the unwinder (sniffer) defined in
py-recurse-unwind.py so that, depending upon the value of one of its
class variables, it will take different paths through the code,
testing different functionality.
The original test attempted to obtain the value of an undefined
symbol.
This somewhat expanded test checks to see if 'pc' can be read via
gdb.PendingFrame.read_register() and also via gdb.parse_and_eval().
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.c (main): Add loop.
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.py (TestUnwinder): Add calls
to read_register() and gdb.parse_and_eval(). Make each code
call a separate case that can be individually tested.
* gdb.python/py-recurse-unwind.exp (cont_and_backtrace): New
proc. Call cont_and_backtrace for each of the code paths that
we want to test in the unwinder.
The "struct S" type in bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp is declared to
have a size of 4 bytes but to hold two 4-byte members: an int-based
bitfield and a 4-byte int. Also, both members have the same
data_member_location 2, causing them to overlap and to reach 2 bytes
beyond the structure's boundary.
This is fixed by increasing the structure size to 8 and setting the
first and second member's data_member_location to 0 and 4, respectively.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/bitfield-parent-optimized-out.exp: Fix DWARF code for
the definition of struct S.
- Use multi_line for matching multi-line GDB output.
- Add a multi_line_input variant of multi_line to build GDB input and
use it throughout.
(The two changes above make the tests much more readable, IMO.)
- Add a new valnum_re global to get rid of the multiple "\\\$\[0-9\]*".
- Remove gdb_stop_suppressing_tests uses.
- tighten a few regexps.
- Replace send_gdb/gdb_expect with gdb_test_multiple and simplify,
making pass/fail messages the same.

(top level): Do not use with_test_prefix_procname.
While adding new tests to gdb.base/commands.exp, I noticed that the
file includes a bunch of individual testcases split into their own
procedures, and that none have ever been adjusted to use
with_test_prefix. Instead, each gdb_test/gdb_test_multiple/etc
invocation takes care of including the procedure name in the test
message, in order to make sure test messages are unique.
Simon convinced me that using the procedure name as prefix is not that
bad of an idea:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00020.html
This commit adds an IMO simpler alternative to
with_test_prefix_procname added by that patch -- a new
"proc_with_prefix" convenience proc that is meant to be used in place
of "proc", and then uses it in commands.exp. Procedures defined with
this automatically run their bodies under with_test_prefix $proc_name.
Here's a sample of the resulting gdb.sum diff:
[...]
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: break factorial #3
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: set value to 5 in test_command_prompt_position
-PASS: gdb.base/commands.exp: if test in test_command_prompt_position

A user reported a GDB crash with TUI when trying to debug a function
with a long demangled C++ method name. It turned out that the logic for
displaying the TUI disassembly window has a bug that can cause a buffer
overrun, possibly overwriting GDB-internal data structures. In
particular, the logic performs an unguarded strcpy.
Another (harmless) bug in tui_alloc_source_buffer causes the buffer to
be two lines longer than needed. This may have made the crash appear
less frequently.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_set_disassem_content): Fix line buffer
overrun due to unchecked strcpy.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/tui-layout.c: New file.
* gdb.base/tui-layout.exp: Use tui-layout.c, to ensure that the
disassembly window contains very long lines.
I happened to notice that one test in py-value.exp did not work
properly with Python 3. This patch fixes the problem.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* gdb.python/py-value.exp (test_value_creation): Make "long" test
depend on Python 2.
While writing a Python frame filter, I found a few bugs in the current
frame filter code. In particular:
* One spot converts a Python long to a CORE_ADDR using PyLong_AsLong.
However, this can fail on overflow. I changed this to use
get_addr_from_python.
* Another spot is doing the same but with PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLong; I
changed this as well just for consistency.
* Converting line numbers can print "-1" if conversion from long
fails. This isn't fatal but just a bit ugly.
I've included a test case for the first issue. The line number one
didn't seem important enough to bother with.
2016-11-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* python/py-framefilter.c (py_print_frame): Use
get_addr_from_python. Check for errors when getting line number.

* gdb.python/py-framefilter.py (ElidingFrameDecorator.address):

Testing a powerpc toolchain running gdbserver on the other end i noticed a
failure in gdb.base/foll-exec.exp. Turns out gdb is outputting a slightly
different pattern due to the presence of debug information.
--
foll-exec is about to execlp(execd-prog)...^M
Continuing.^M
process 21222 is executing new program: gdb.d/outputs/gdb.base/foll-exec/execd-prog^M
^M
Catchpoint 2 (exec'd gdb.d/outputs/gdb.base/foll-exec/execd-prog), _start () at ../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/dl-start.S:32^M
--
Notice the presence of source file information.
Now, on my local machine, i get this:
--
foll-exec is about to execlp(execd-prog)...^M
Continuing.^M
process 9285 is executing new program: gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/foll-exec/execd-prog^M

--
So the output differs slightly and the testcase is actually expecting only
the second form with the "in" anchor.
This patch removes the "in" pattern and lets the test match both kinds of
output.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-10-28 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/foll-exec.exp (do_exec_tests): Make test pattern more
general.
The following testcases make GDB crash whenever an invalid sysroot is
provided, when GDB is unable to find a valid path to the symbol file:
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp
gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp
gdb.base/foll-exec.exp
gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp
gdb.base/pie-execl.exp
gdb.multi/bkpt-multi-exec.exp
gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp

gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp
gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp
The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL
argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen.
However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't
prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the
new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due
to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts
to fix all that.
In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints
a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the
tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a
legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot
translation incorrectly.
A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning
code path even with native testing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver.

This apparently is due to - man gcc - -fsplit-stack:
When code compiled with -fsplit-stack calls code compiled without
-fsplit-stack, there may not be much stack space available for the
latter code to run. If compiling all code, including library code,
with -fsplit-stack is not an option, then the linker can fix up these
calls so that the code compiled without -fsplit-stack always has
a large stack. Support for this is implemented in the gold linker in
GNU binutils release 2.21 and later.

I noticed that testing aarch64-elf gdb with a physical board
ran into issues with gdb.python/py-value.exp. Further investigation showed
that we were actually trying to dereference a NULL pointer (argv) when trying
to access argv[0].
Being bare-metal, argv is not guaranteed to be valid. So we need to make sure
argv is sane before accessing argv[0].
The following patch fixes up the test program to check for a NULL argv and also
improves the testcase a bit so it doesn't have to work with a hardcoded argc
value.
Regression-tested on x86-64 Ubuntu 16.04.

Fix a regression from commit f8b73d13b7 ("Target-described register
support for MIPS"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-05/msg00340.html>,
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-06/msg00256.html>, which
caused Floating Point Control Registers (FCRs) to be shown as 64-bit
with 64-bit targets.
This came from the legacy register format where all raw registers
matched the width of the architecture regardless of their actual size.
The correct size was then set in `mips_register_type' for cooked
registers presented to the user, which in the case of FCRs meant the
cooked size was always forced to 32 bits, reflecting their actual
hardware size, even though the raw format carried them in 64-bit
quantities on 64-bit targets. The upper 32 bits carried in the raw FCR
format have always been don't-cares, not actually retrieved from
hardware and never written back.
With the introduction of XML register descriptions the layout of
previously defined raw registers has been preserved, so as to keep
existing register handling code unchanged and make it easier for GDB and
`gdbserver' to interact with each other whether neither, either or both
parties talking over RSP support XML register descriptions. For the
XML-described case however `mips_register_type' is not used in raw to
cooked register conversion, so any special cases coded there are not
taken into account.
Instead a new function, `mips_pseudo_register_type', has been introduced
to handle size conversion, however lacking the special case for FCRs for
the Linux and the now defunct IRIX target. The correct size has been
maintained for embedded targets however, due to the bundling of FCRs
with the embedded registers under the `rawnum >= MIPS_EMBED_FP0_REGNUM +
32' condition.
Add the missing case to `mips_pseudo_register_type' then, referring to
the FCR indices explicitly, and observing that between
`MIPS_EMBED_FP0_REGNUM + 32' and `MIPS_FIRST_EMBED_REGNUM' there is an
unused register slot whose contents are ignored so with the removal of
embedded FCRs from under that condition we don't have to care about it
and we can refer to the embedded registers starting from
MIPS_FIRST_EMBED_REGNUM instead.
Add a test case too so that we have means to check automatically that
the correct user-visible size of FCRs is maintained.

This is GDB trying to print the location spec of the JIT event
breakpoint, but that's an internal breakpoint without one.
If I add a NULL check, then we see that the JIT breakpoint is now
pending (because its location has shlib_disabled set):
(gdb) maint info breakpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
[...]
-8 jit events keep y <PENDING> inf 1
[...]
But that's incorrect. GDB should have managed to recreate the JIT
breakpoint's location for the second run. So the problem is
elsewhere.
The problem is that if the JIT loads at the same address on the second
run, we never recreate the JIT breakpoint, because we hit this early
return:
static int
jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
struct jit_program_space_data *ps_data)
{
[...]
if (ps_data->cached_code_address == addr)
return 0;
[...]
delete_breakpoint (ps_data->jit_breakpoint);
[...]
ps_data->jit_breakpoint = create_jit_event_breakpoint (gdbarch, addr);
Fix this by deleting the breakpoint and discarding the cached code
address when the objfile where the previous JIT breakpoint was found
is deleted/unloaded in the first place.
The test that was originally added for PR11094 doesn't trip on this
because:
#1 - It doesn't test the case of the JIT descriptor's address _not_
changing between reruns.
#2 - And then it doesn't do "maint info breakpoints", or really
anything with the JIT at all.
#3 - and even then, to trigger the problem the JIT descriptor needs
to be in a separate library, while the current test puts it in
the main program.
The patch extends the test to cover all combinations of these
scenarios.

I noticed that we sometimes get this:
(gdb) print &__jit_debug_descriptor
$1 = (struct jit_descriptor *) 0x601040 <__jit_debug_descriptor>
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
[...]
(gdb) run
[...]
Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/jit-simple/jit-simple

36 return 0;
(gdb) print &__jit_debug_descriptor
$2 = (struct jit_descriptor *) 0x601040 <__jit_debug_descriptor>
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/jit-simple.exp: blah 1
All tests PASSed, but note the "Unsupported JIT protocol version 4"
message.
Also notice that "__jit_debug_descriptor" has the same address before
and after the rerun, while the test is built in a way that should make
that address change between runs.
The test doesn't catch any of this because it doesn't compare
before/after addresses.
And then notice the "blah 1" test messages. "blah" is clearly a WIP
message, but it should be at least "blah 2" the second time. :-)
The reason this sometimes happens is that the test recompiles the
program and expects gdb to reload it automaticallyt on "run". However,
if the original program and the new recompilation happen to be in the
same second, then gdb does not realize that the binary needs to be
reloaded. (This is an old problem out of scope of this series.) If
that happens, then GDB ends up using the wrong symbols for the program
that it spawns, reads the JIT descriptor out of the wrong address,
finds garbage, and prints that "unsupported version" notice.
Fix that in the same way gdb.base/reread.exp handles it -- by sleeping
one second before recompiling.

The .exp patch is an obvious typo fix I think. The regex was written to

the purpose of this testfile.
gcc-4.8.5-11.el7.x86_64 did not put the 'mov $0x0,%eax' instruction there at
all so there was no problem with .debug_line.

This patch adds a test to verify that events are sent properly to all
UIs when the user selection context (inferior, thread, frame) changes.
The goal of the C test file is to provide two threads that are stopped with the
same predictable backtrace (so that we can test frame switching). The barrier
helps us know when the child threads are started. Then, scheduler-locking is
used to bring each thread one by one to the position we expect them to be
during the test.

* gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.exp: New file.
* gdb.mi/user-selected-context-sync.c: New file.
With this patch, when an inferior, thread or frame is explicitly
selected by the user, notifications will appear on all CLI and MI UIs.
When a GDB console is integrated in a front-end, this allows the
front-end to follow a selection made by the user ont he CLI, and it
informs the user about selection changes made behind the scenes by the
front-end.
This patch addresses PR gdb/20487.
In order to communicate frame changes to the front-end, this patch adds
a new field to the =thread-selected event for the selected frame. The
idea is that since inferior/thread/frame can be seen as a composition,
it makes sense to send them together in the same event. The vision
would be to eventually send the inferior information as well, if we find
that it's needed, although the "=thread-selected" event would be
ill-named for that job.
Front-ends need to handle this new field if they want to follow the
frame selection changes that originate from the console. The format of
the frame attribute is the same as what is found in the *stopped events.
Here's a detailed example for each command and the events they generate:
thread
------
1. CLI command:
thread 1.3
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={...}
2. MI command:
-thread-select 3
CLI event:
[Switching to thread 1.3 ...]
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
thread 1.3
MI event/reply:
&"thread 1.3\n"
~"#0 child_sub_function () ...
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="0",...}
^done
frame
-----
1. CLI command:
frame 1
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1",...}
2. MI command:
-stack-select-frame 1
CLI event:
#1 0x00000000004007f0 in child_function...
3. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
frame 1
MI event/reply:
&"frame 1\n"
~"#1 0x00000000004007f9 in ..."
=thread-selected,id="3",frame={level="1"...}
^done
inferior
--------
Inferior selection events only go from the console to MI, since there's
no way to select the inferior in pure MI.
1. CLI command:
inferior 2
MI event:
=thread-selected,id="3"
Note that if the user selects an inferior that is not started or exited,
the MI doesn't receive a notification. Since there is no threads to
select, the =thread-selected event does not apply...
2. MI command (CLI-in-MI):
inferior 2
MI event/reply:
&"inferior 2\n"
~"[Switching to inferior 2 ...]"
=thread-selected,id="4",frame={level="0"...}
^done
Internal implementation detail: this patch makes it possible to suppress
notifications caused by a CLI command, like what is done in mi-interp.c.
This means that it's now possible to use the
add_com_suppress_notification function to register a command with some
event suppressed. It is used to implement the select-frame command in
this patch.
The function command_notifies_uscc_observer was added to extract
the rather complicated logical expression from the if statement. It is
also now clearer what that logic does: if the command used by the user
already notifies the user_selected_context_changed observer, there is
not need to notify it again. It therefore protects again emitting the
event twice.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 x86 with target boards unix and
native-extended-gdbserver.

jit_breakpoint_re_set() is specific by trying to insert a breakpoint into the
main executable, not into a shared library. During attachment GDB thinks it
needs to use 'breakpoint always-inserted' from
breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now() as a newly attached thread is
'thread_info->executing' due to 'lwp_info->must_set_ptrace_flags' enabled and
the task not yet stopped. This did not happen before the 'bad commit' above
which adds tracking of such thread.
GDB then fails to insert the breakpoints to invalid address as PIE executable
gets properly relocated during later phase of attachment. One can see in the
backtraces below:
-> jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal()
later:
-> svr4_exec_displacement()
One can suppress the initial breakpoint_re_set() call as there will be another
breakpoint_re_set() done from the final post_create_inferior() call in
setup_inferior().
BTW additionally 'threads_executing' cache bool is somehow stale (somewhere is
missing update_threads_executing()). I was trying to deal with that in my
first/second attempt below but in my final third attempt (attached) I have
left it as it is.
First attempt trying not to falsely require 'breakpoint always-inserted':
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix1.patch
Reduced first attempt:
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix2.patch
The third attempt suppresses breakpoint insertion until PIE executable gets
relocated by svr4_exec_displacement(). Applied.

In commit 6423214f (testsuite: Don't use expect_background to reap
gdbserver), we override gdb_exit in lib/gdbserver-support.exp, so
that we can close gdbserver first. However, we don't close gdbserver
in mi_gdb_exit. This makes a problem in my aarch64 mulit-arch testing,
in which I run some mi tests, mi-watch.exp for example, in different
variations (aarch64 and arm),
Schedule of variations:
junor0-2
junor0-2-arm/-marm
junor0-2-arm/-mthumb
When the test is done in the first variation (aarch64), test case is
recompiled for arm, but GDBserver with aarch64 program is still
running. When the second variation is started, GDB loads arm program,
but GDBserver still loads aarch64 program because the old GDBserver
process is using it. We'll get,
47-target-select remote junor0-2:2350^M

ARC is a family of licensable processors developed by Synopsys.
This is an initial patch that doesn't yet support some of the features, that
are already available in Synopsys' fork of GDB, namely:
* longjmp support
* signal frame handling
* prologue analysis
* Linux targets support
* native Linux support
ARC cores are configurable and extensible, which means from debugger
perspective that some registers and debug capabilities are optional, therefore
it is up to the GDB stub to determine exact list of register available on
target and supply it to GDB via XML target descriptions. List of registers
that is known to GDB and is required is intentionally kept small to simplify
requirements to GDB stub and implementation of a GDB client.

This fixes PR gdb/20604. The bug here is that passing an invalid
expression to "quit" -- e.g., "quit()" -- causes gdb to enter a
non-functioning state.
The immediate problem is that quit_force resets the terminal before
evaluating the expression. However, it seemed to me that it doesn't
really make sense to pass the quit_force argument to kill_or_detach
(which passes it to to_detach), first because conflating the exit
status for "quit" and the signal to pass when detaching doesn't make
sense, and second because to_detach implementations generally only
accept a constant here, while "quit" accepts an expression. So, I
removed that.
As an aside, I think the "detach SIGNO" functionality is not
documented.

There were always various problems with compatibility with ccache:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488863https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759592https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-02/msg00397.html
IMO in a summary ccache finds more a benefit of faster compilation despite the
debug info is no longer exactly the same (as without ccache).
Although for example in this case ccache helped to find a real GDB bug:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-01/msg00497.html
For the GDB testcases ccache has (IMO) no real performance advantage and it
just brings heisenbugs - false FAILs - from time to time:
Breakpoint 1, main () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/vdso-warning.c:21^M
21 return 0;^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/vdso-warning.exp: run: startup

Breakpoint 1, main () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/hbreak-unmapped.c:21^M

GCC 6's ICF optimization pass is making the declaration of 'm1' and
'm2', on gdb.base/stap-probe.c, to be unified. However, this leads to
only one instance of the probe 'two' being created, which causes a
failure on the testsuite (which expects a multi-location breakpoint to
be inserted on the probe).
This patch fixes this failure by declaring a dummy variable on 'm1',
and using it as an argument to m1's version of probe 'two'. Since we
do not care about the contents of the functions nor about the
arguments of each probe 'two', this is OK.

On various GNU Elf architectures, including AArch64, ARM, s390/s390x,
ppc32/64, and sparc32/64, the dynamic loader passes HWCAP as a parameter
to each ifunc resolver. Currently there is an open glibc Bugzilla that
requests this to be generalized to all architectures:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19766
And various ifunc resolvers already rely on receiving HWCAP. Currently
GDB always calls an ifunc resolver without any arguments; thus the
resolver may receive garbage, and based on that, the resolver may decide
to return a function that is not suited for the given platform.
This patch always passes HWCAP to ifunc resolvers, even on systems where
the dynamic loader currently behaves otherwise. The rationale is
that (1) the dynamic loader may get adjusted on those systems as well in
the future; (2) passing an unused argument should not cause a problem
with existing resolvers; and (3) the logic is much simpler without such
a distinction.

I noticed that if input is already pending on the new-ui TTY, gdb
internal-errors.
E.g., create /dev/pts/2, and type anything there (even just <return>
is sufficient).
Now start GDB creating a new UI on that TTY, while at the same time,
running a synchronous execution command. Something like:
$ gdb program -ex "new-ui console /dev/pts/2" -ex "start"
Back on /dev/pts/2, we get:
(gdb) .../src/gdb/event-top.c:360: internal-error: double prompt
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
While the main UI was waiting for "start" to finish, gdb kepts pumping
events, including the input fd of the extra console. The problem is
that stdin_event_handler doesn't restore the current UI back to what
it was, assuming that it's only ever called from the top level event
loop. However, in this case, it's being called from the nested event
loop from within maybe_wait_sync_command_done.
When finally the "start" command is done, we reach the code that
prints the prompt in the main UI, just before starting the main event
loop. Since now the current UI is pointing at the extra console (by
mistake), we find ourselves printing a double prompt on the extra
console. This is caught by the assertion that fails, as shown above.
Since other event handlers also don't restore the UI (e.g., signal
event handlers), I think it's better if whatever is pumping events to
take care to restore the UI, if it cares. That's what this patch
does. New test included.

Now that all the prerequisites are in place, this commit finally adds support
for handling the __float128 type on Intel and Power, by providing appropriate
platform-specific versions of the floatformat_for_type callback.
Since at this point we do not yet have any indication in the debug info to
distinguish different floating-point formats of the same length, we simply
use the type name as hint. Types named "__float128" get the IEEE format.
In addition to handling "__float128" itself, we also recognize "_Float128"
and (on Power) "_Float64x", as well as the complex versions of those.
(As pointed out by Joseph Myers, starting with GCC 7, __float128 is just
a typedef for _Float128 -- but it's good to handle this anyway.)
A new test case does some simple verification that the format is decoded
correctly, using both __float128 and "long double" to make sure using both
in the same file still works. Another new test verifies handling of the
_FloatN and _FloatNx types supported by GCC 7, as well as the complex
versions of those types.
Note that this still only supports basic format decoding and encoding.
We do not yet support the GNU extension 'g' suffix for __float128 constants.
In addition, since all *arithmetic* on floating-point values is still
performed in native host "long double" arithmetic, if that format is not
able to encode all target __float128 values, we may get incorrect results.
(To fix this would require implementing fully synthetic target floating-
point arithmetic along the lines of GCC's real.c, presumably using MPFR.)

This fixes the problem exercised by Kevin's test at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-08/msg00216.html
This was originally exposed by the OpenJDK Python-based unwinder.
If an unwinder attempts to call parse_and_eval from within its
sniffing method, GDB's unwinding machinery enters infinite recursion.
However, parse_and_eval is a pretty reasonable thing to call, because
Python/Scheme-based unwinders will often need to read globals out of
inferior memory. The recursion happens because:
- get_current_frame() is called soon after the target stops.
- current_frame is NULL, and so we unwind it from the sentinel frame
(which is special and has level == -1).
- We reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, which does cycle detection
based on frame id, and thus tries to compute the frame id of the new
frame.
- Frame id computation requires an unwinder, so we go through all
unwinder sniffers trying to see if one accepts the new frame (the
current frame).
- the unwinder's sniffer calls parse_and_eval().
- parse_and_eval depends on the selected frame/block, and if not set
yet, the selected frame is set to the current frame.
- get_current_frame () is called again. current_frame is still NULL,
so ...
- recurse forever.
In Kevin's test at:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-08/msg00216.html
gdb doesn't recurse forever simply because the Python unwinder
contains code to detect and stop the recursion itself. However, GDB
goes downhill from here, e.g., by showing the sentinel frame as
current frame (note the -1):
Breakpoint 1, ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
23 }
(gdb) bt
#-1 ccc (arg=<unavailable>) at py-recurse-unwind.c:23
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
That "-1" frame level comes from this:
if (catch_exceptions (current_uiout, unwind_to_current_frame,
sentinel_frame, RETURN_MASK_ERROR) != 0)
{
/* Oops! Fake a current frame? Is this useful? It has a PC
of zero, for instance. */
current_frame = sentinel_frame;
}
which is bogus. It's never correct to set the current frame to the
sentinel frame. The only reason this has survived so long is that
getting here normally indicates something wrong has already happened
before and we fix that. And this case is no exception -- it doesn't
really matter how precisely we managed to get to that bogus code (it
has to do with the the stash), because anything after recursion
happens is going to be invalid.
So the fix is to avoid the recursion in the first place.
Observations:
#1 - The recursion happens because we try to do cycle detection from
within get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle. That requires computing the
frame id of the frame being unwound, and that itself requires
calling into the unwinders.
#2 - But, the first time we're unwinding from the sentinel frame,
when we reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, there's no frame chain
at all yet:
- current_frame is NULL.
- the frame stash is empty.
Thus, there's really no need to do cycle detection the first time we
reach get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, when building the current frame.
So we can break the recursion by making get_current_frame call a
simplified version of get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle that results in
setting the current_frame global _before_ computing the current
frame's id.
But, we can go a little bit further. As there's really no reason
anymore to compute the current frame's frame id immediately, we can
defer computing it to when some caller of get_current_frame might need
it. This was actually how the frame id was computed for all frames
before the stash-based cycle detection was added. So in a way, this
patch reintroduces the lazy frame id computation, but unlike before,
only for the case of the current frame, which turns out to be special.
This lazyness, however, requires adjusting
gdb.python/py-unwind-maint.exp, because that assumes unwinders are
immediately called as side effect of some commands. I didn't see a
need to preserve the behavior expected by that test (all it would take
is call get_frame_id inside get_current_frame), so I adjusted the
test.

We recently found a ARM kernel ptrace bug
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-May/431962.html
Details can be found in the comment in gdb_skip_float_test. We can
skip floating point tests if the kernel bug is detected.
This patch adds more code in gdb_skip_float_test to detect the broken
ptrace on arm-linux. Such detection should be done at the beginning
of the test, because it starts a fresh GDB, so change the test cases
to invoke gdb_skip_float_test at the beginning of test, and use its
return value afterwards.
Since gdb_skip_float_test becomes a gdb_caching_proc, so it can't
have an argument, this patch also removes argument "msg", which isn't
useful.

This test case verifies that GDB will not attempt to invoke a python

[I've shortened pathnames for easier reading.]

Note that GDB's problems go well beyond the fact that it invokes the
unwinder recursively. In the process it messes up some internal state
(the frame stash) leading to display of (only) the sentinel frame in
the backtrace.

This patch allows the user to set the inferior-tty to "empty", in order
to come back to the default behaviour of using the same tty as gdb is
using.
This is already supported in MI (and tested in gdb.mi/mi-basics.exp).
I added a new test, set-inferior-tty.exp, where I test only the setting
and unsetting of the parameter. It would be nice to actually test that
the inferior output properly goes to the separate tty, but that will be
for another day.

This patch fixes a problem that problem triggers if you start an
inferior, e.g., with the "start" command, in a UI created with the
new-ui command, and then run a foreground execution command in the
main UI. Once the program stops for the latter command, typing in the
main UI no longer echoes back to the user.
The problem revolves around this:
- gdb_has_a_terminal computes its result lazily, on first call.
that is what saves gdb's initial main UI terminal state (the UI
associated with stdin):
our_terminal_info.ttystate = serial_get_tty_state (stdin_serial);
This is the state that target_terminal_ours() restores.
- In this scenario, the gdb_has_a_terminal function happens to be
first ever called from within the target_terminal_init call in
startup_inferior:
(top-gdb) bt
#0 gdb_has_a_terminal () at src/gdb/inflow.c:157
#1 0x000000000079db22 in child_terminal_init_with_pgrp () at src/gdb/inflow.c:217
[...]
#4 0x000000000065bacb in target_terminal_init () at src/gdb/target.c:456
#5 0x00000000004676d2 in startup_inferior () at src/gdb/fork-child.c:531
[...]
#7 0x000000000046b168 in linux_nat_create_inferior () at src/gdb/linux-nat.c:1112
[...]
#9 0x00000000005f20c9 in start_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/infcmd.c:657
If the command to start the inferior is issued on the main UI, then
readline will have deprepped the terminal when we reach the above, and
the problem doesn't appear.
If however the command is issued on a non-main UI, then when we reach
that gdb_has_a_terminal call, the main UI's terminal state is still
set to whatever readline has sets it to in rl_prep_terminal, which
happens to have echo disabled. Later, when the following synchronous
execution command finishes, we'll call target_terminal_ours to restore
gdb's the main UI's terminal settings, and that restores the terminal
state with echo disabled...
Conceptually, the fix is to move the gdb_has_a_terminal call earlier,
to someplace during GDB initialization, before readline/ncurses have
had a chance to change terminal settings. Turns out that
"set_initial_gdb_ttystate" is exactly such a place.
I say conceptually, because the fix actually inlines the
gdb_has_a_terminal part that saves the terminal state in
set_initial_gdb_ttystate and then simplifies gdb_has_a_terminal, since
there's no point in making gdb_has_a_terminal do lazy computation.

Hi,
I happen to see gdbserver is spawned like this in gdb.log,
spawn /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2346 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.s

erver/connect-stopped-target/connect-stopped-target /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/connect-stopped-target/connect-stopped-t
arget
as we can see, there are two instances of connect-stopped-target or
connect-stopped-target in the command line spawning gdbserver, but
none of these gets parameters from command line. In these two
tests, gdbserver is spawned via "gdbserver_spawn ${binfile}". However,
the argument of gdbserver_spawn is the argument passed the child
inferior, not the program itself.
# Start a gdbserver process running SERVER_EXEC, and connect GDB
# to it. CHILD_ARGS are passed to the inferior.
#
# Returns the target protocol and socket to connect to.
proc gdbserver_spawn { child_args } {
set target_exec [gdbserver_download_current_prog]
GDBserver gets the program via last_loaded_file, which is set by
gdb_file_cmd. In each test, we don't need to pass ${binfile}.

Right after a fork is detected, we detach breakpoints from the child
(detach_breakpoints), which calls into target_remove_breakpoint with
inferior_ptid pointing at the child process, but leaves the breakpoint
marked inserted (in the parent).
The problem is that record-full.c always deletes all knowledge of the
breakpoint. Then when we later really delete the breakpoint from the
parent, we fail the assertion, since the breakpoint is unexpectedly
not found in the record-full.c breakpoint table.
The fix is simply to not forget about the breakpoint if we're
detaching it from a fork child.

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.

The problem is that when an exception is thrown, we leave the prompt
state set to PROMPT_BLOCKED, and then mi_execute_command_input_handler
doesn't print the prompt. It used to work because before that patch,
we happened to skip disabling stdin if the current target didn't do
async (which it never does before execution).
I was surprised to find that this bug isn't caught by the testsuite,
so I made a thorough test that tests all combinations of pairs of:
- a failing synchronous execution command

gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit. However, it
currently does. For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.
This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html
Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
image are set to the default action in the new process
image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
in the new process image (see <signal.h>).
And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.
In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

unpack_value_bitfield is already optimized-out/unavailable -aware:
(...) VALADDR points to the contents of VAL. If the VAL's contents
required to extract the bitfield from are unavailable/optimized
out, DEST_VAL is correspondingly marked unavailable/optimized out.
however, it is not considering the case of the value having no
contents buffer at all, as can happen through
allocate_optimized_out_value.

PR python/20190 arose from an exception I noticed when trying to use
the Python unwinder for Spider Monkey in Firefox.
The problem is that the unwinder wants to examine the value of a
thread-local variable. However, sympy_value rejects this because
symbol_read_needs_frame returns true for a TLS variable.
This problem arose once before, though in a different context:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11803
At the time Pedro and Daniel pointed out a simpler way to fix that bug
(see links in 20190 if you are interested); but for this new bug I
couldn't think of a similar fix and ended up implementing Daniel's
other suggestion:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-07/msg00393.html
That is, this patch makes it possible to detect whether a symbol needs
a specific frame, or whether it just needs the inferior to have
registers.

When a bad interpreter name is passed to new-ui, such as:
(gdb) new-ui bloop /dev/pts/10
A partially created UI is left in the UI list, with interp set to NULL.
Trying to do anything that will print on this UI (such as "start") will
cause a segmentation fault.
Changes in v2:
- Use with_test_prefix to namespace test procedures
- Give an explicit stable test name
- Add a "bad terminal path" test
- Remove useless runto_main
- Add missing intro comments

Without XML support in GDB, it can't parse xml sent by GDBserver, and has
to fall back to the oldest arch. However, GDBserver doesn't know this
(IMO, this is a defect in RSP), and still choose the right target
description to create regcache and 'g' packet. If the port only has
one target description or coincidentally two sides choose the same
target description, there is no such issue. Otherwise, GDB is broken
on read registers.
This patch is to skip gdbserver tests if XML is not support and the
target has multiple target descriptions.
