Sometimes DWARF info for a function is incomplete, and the function
can be retrieved by examining symbols. However, when separate debug
files are used it may be that the original file is completely
stripped of symbols. This patch teaches BFD to look at symbols from
the debug file in that case.
The patch also removes arm_elf_find_function, instead implementing
elf_backend_maybe_function_sym. arm_elf_find_function was written
before the generic _bfd_elf_find_function called maybe_function_sym.
aarch64 copied arm, so that file gets the same treatment. There is
some chance this will speed up arm and aarch64 lookup of function/line.

This adds a simple thread pool to gdb. In the end, this seemed
preferable to the approach taken in an earlier version of this series;
namely, starting threads in the parallel-foreach implementation. This
approach reduces the overhead of starting new threads, and also lets
the user control (in a subsequent patch) exactly how many worker
threads are running.

The gdb demangler installs a SIGSEGV handler in order to protect gdb
from demangler bugs. However, this is not thread-safe, as signal
handlers are global to the process.
This patch changes gdb to always install a global SIGSEGV handler, and
then lets threads indicate their interest in handling the signal by
setting a thread-local variable.
This patch then arranges for the demangler code to use this; being
sure to arrange for calls to warning and the like to be done on the
main thread.
One thing I wondered while writing this patch is if there are any
systems that do not have "sigaction". If gdb could assume this, it
would simplify this code.

This introduces a new RAII class that temporarily installs an

This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb. (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)
The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread. So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.
The sigprocmask man page says:
The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
process; see pthread_sigmask(3).
This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.
I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.
I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about
that platform and because I cannot test it.
Finally, this modifies an existing spot in the Guile layer to use the
new facility.

This adds a configure check for std::thread. This is needed because
std::thread is not available on some systems, like some versions of
mingw and DJGPP.
This also adds configury to make sure that a threaded gdb links
against the correct threading library (-lpthread or the like), and
passes the right flags (e.g., -pthread) to the compilations.
Note that this also links gdbserver against the thread library. This
is not strictly necessary at this point in the series, but a later
patch will change gdbsupport to use pthread_sigmask, at which point
this will be needed.

The problem seems to be created by gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter () releasing the GIL lock
too early:
~gdbpy_enter () does:
...
PyGILState_Release (m_state);
python_gdbarch = m_gdbarch;
python_language = m_language;
restore_active_ext_lang (m_previous_active);
}
So, it releases the GIL lock, does 2 assignments and then leads to the following
call sequence:
restore_active_ext_lang => check_quit_flag => python.c gdbpy_check_quit_flag
=> PyOS_InterruptOccurred => is_main.
is_main code is:
static int
is_main(_PyRuntimeState *runtime)
{
unsigned long thread = PyThread_get_thread_ident();
PyInterpreterState *interp = _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime)->interp;
return (thread == runtime->main_thread
&& interp == runtime->interpreters.main);
}
The macros and functions to access the thread state are documented as:
/* Variable and macro for in-line access to current thread
and interpreter state */
#define _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime) \
((PyThreadState*)_Py_atomic_load_relaxed(&(runtime)->gilstate.tstate_current))
/* Get the current Python thread state.
Efficient macro reading directly the 'gilstate.tstate_current' atomic
variable. The macro is unsafe: it does not check for error and it can
return NULL.
The caller must hold the GIL.
See also PyThreadState_Get() and PyThreadState_GET(). */
#define _PyThreadState_GET() _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(&_PyRuntime)
So, we see that GDB releases the GIL and then potentially calls
_PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState that needs the GIL.
It is not very clear why the problem is only observed when running under
Valgrind. Probably caused by the slowdown due to Valgrind and/or to the 'single
thread' scheduling by Valgrind.
This patch fixes the crashes by releasing the GIT lock later.

* python/python.c (gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter): Release GIL after

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Putting the include of aarch32-tdep.h early in aarch32-tdep.c gives us
an error about target_desc not being defined. Indeed, aarch32-tdep.h
uses target_desc without forward-declaring it or including the proper
header. Add a forward-declaration for it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch32-tdep.c: Include aarch32-tdep.h.
* aarch32-tdep.h: Forward-declare struct target_desc.

This provides threadsafety. Unfortunately, since libinproctrace.so
does not link to gnulib, we can't use it there, especially since it
still includes the gnulib headers (so it is difficult to directly
call the system strerror_r).

The words.sh script in its current form extracts c comments from files, which
it then transforms into a list of words.
To use the script on the documentation (as I did for commit 6b92c0d353
"[gdb/doc] Fix typos"), I needed to disable the "extract c comments" part.
Add an option -c that enables extracting c comments, and is off by default.

While debugging, i felt the need to adjust the truncation length of remote
packets so i could see more or less data as needed. The default is currently
set to 512 bytes.
This patch makes this option adjustable through the new "set debug
remote-packet-max-chars" command. It can be set to unlimited if we want to
completely disable truncation.
Update on v5:
- Adjusted function and variable documentation, NEWS entry and GDB manual.

and other tidies. I think it's better to default to passing the
section to bfd_octets_per_byte, even in cases where we know it won't
make a difference.
A number of the coff reloc functions used bfd_octets_per_byte wrongly,
not factoring it into the offset into the data buffer. As it happens,
the targets using those files always had bfd_octets_per_byte equal to
one, so there wasn't any detectable wrong behaviour. However, it is
wrong in the source and might cause trouble for anyone creating a new
target. Besides fixing that, the patch also defines OCTETS_PER_BYTE
as one in target files where that is appropriate.
