This patch extends the current generic parser for SystemTap SDT probe
arguments. It can be almost considered a cleanup, but the main point of
it is actually to allow the generic parser to accept multiple prefixes
and suffixes for the its operands (i.e., integers, register names, and
register indirection).
I have chosen to implement this as a list of const strings, and declare
this list as "static" inside each target's method used to initialize
gdbarch.
This patch is actually a preparation for an upcoming patch for ARM,
which implements the support for multiple integer prefixes (as defined
by ARM's asm spec). And AArch64 will also need this, for the same
reason.
This patch was regtested on all architectures that it touches (i.e.,
i386, x86_64, ARM, PPC/PPC64, s390x and IA-64). No regressions were found.

Code rationale
==============
by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
This is a fix for bug 16297. The problem occurs when the user attempts
to catch any syscall 0 (such as syscall read on Linux/x86_64). GDB was
not able to catch the syscall and was missing the breakpoint.
Now, breakpoint_hit_catch_syscall returns immediately when it finds the
correct syscall number, avoiding a following check for the end of the
search vector, that returns a no hit if the syscall number was zero.
Testcase rationale
==================
by: Sergio Durigan Junior
This testcase is a little difficult to write. By doing a quick
inspection at the Linux source, one can see that, in many targets, the
syscall number 0 is restart_syscall, which is forbidden to be called
from userspace. Therefore, on many targets, there's just no way to test
this safely.
My decision was to take the simpler route and just adds the "read"
syscall on the default test. Its number on x86_64 is zero, which is
"good enough" since many people here do their tests on x86_64 anyway and
it is a popular architecture.
However, there was another little gotcha. When using "read" passing 0
as the third parameter (i.e., asking it to read 0 bytes), current libc
implementations could choose not to effectively call the syscall.
Therefore, the best solution was to create a temporary pipe, write 1
byte into it, and then read this byte from it.

Now that struct serial_ops is const everywhere, we can easily turn the
instances into globals. This patch implements this idea.
On the one hand I think this is nicer since it makes a bit more data
readonly and slightly reduces allocations. On the other hand it
reduces readability somewhat.
If the readability is a concern to anyone I was thinking I could write
a macro that conditionally uses GCC's designated initializer
extension.

While fixing another bug, I found that the current
gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp is kind of messy, could use some
improvements, and is not correctly testing some things.
I've made the following patch to address all the issues I found. On the
organization side, it does a cleanup and removes unecessary imports of
gdb_prompt, uses prepare_for_testing and clean_restart where needed, and
fixes some comments. The testcase was also not correctly testing
catching syscalls using only numbers, or catching many syscalls at
once. I fixed that.
The patch also uses a new method for obtaining the syscalls numbers: it
relies on the C source file to get them, via <sys/syscall.h> and SYS_*
macros. This makes the .exp file simpler because there is no need to
include target conditionals there.
I tested this on x86_64 Fedora 18.

Like when stepping, the current stack frame location is expected to be
printed as result of tfind command, if that results in moving to a
different function. In tfind_1 we see:
if (from_tty
&& (has_stack_frames () || traceframe_number >= 0))
{
enum print_what print_what;
/* NOTE: in imitation of the step command, try to determine
whether we have made a transition from one function to
another. If so, we'll print the "stack frame" (ie. the new
function and it's arguments) -- otherwise we'll just show the
new source line. */
if (frame_id_eq (old_frame_id,
get_frame_id (get_current_frame ())))
print_what = SRC_LINE;
else
print_what = SRC_AND_LOC;
print_stack_frame (get_selected_frame (NULL), 1, print_what, 1);
do_displays ();
}
However, when we haven't collected any registers in the tracepoint
(collect $regs), that doesn't actually work:
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) info tracepoints

at ../.././../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/circ.c:28

Continuing.

#0 func0 () at ../.././../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/circ.c:28
28 }
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 1, tracepoint 2
32 }
(gdb)
When we don't have info about the stack available
(UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE), frames end up with outer_frame_id as frame ID.
And in the scenario above, the issue is that both frames before and
after the second tfind (the frames for func0 an func1) have the same
id (outer_frame_id), so the frame_id_eq check returns false, even
though the frames were of different functions. GDB knows that,
because the PC is inferred from the tracepoint's address, even if no
registers were collected.
To fix this, this patch adds support for frame ids with a valid code
address, but <unavailable> stack address, and then makes the unwinders
use that instead of the catch-all outer_frame_id for such frames. The
frame_id_eq check in tfind_1 then automatically does the right thing
as expected.
I tested with --directory=gdb.trace/ , before/after the patch, and
compared the resulting gdb.logs, then adjusted the tests to expect the
extra output that came out. Turns out that was only circ.exp, the
original test that actually brought this issue to light.

This reverts commit 07293be448, as it
causes an unintended change of behavior with GDB/MI's =library-loaded

target-side path instead of the host-side path.
This revert affects Darwin and AIX systems, however, where the BFD
is either artificial or icomplete, leading to the outputt of
"info shared" not containing the information we'd like. For instance,
on Darwin, we would see:

This is the gdbserver-equivalent of the change made in GDB to handle
the case, in x64 windows version 2012, where the kernel produces
a LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT where the name of the associated DLL cannot
be determined at that time, and thus has to be processed later.
The visible symptom is that ntdll.dll is missing from the list of
shared libraries known to be mapped by the inferior, with other
side-effects such as failure to unwind through code provided by
that DLL (such as exception handling routines).

This is a preparatory patch that achieves two goals:

. Opens the door for implementing post-inititial-handling

At the moment, this is only done on Windows, where the
post-initial-handling is going to be needed (in the context of
Windows 2012). And because we're close to creating the gdb 7.7
branch, making that change for all platforms is a little more
risk that we'd like. So the change is currently implemented
on Windows.

This function has the following code:
elt_type = type;
for (i = n; i > 1; i--)
elt_type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
For multi-dimension arrays, the code above tries to find the array
type corresponding to the dimension we're trying to inspect.
The problem is that, past the second dimension, the loop does
nothing other than repeat the first iteration. There is a little
thinko where it got the TYPE_TARGET_TYPE of TYPE instead of ELT_TYPE!
To my surprise, I was unable to produce an Ada exemple that demonstrated
the problem. That's because the examples I created all trigger a parallel
___XA type which we then use in place of the ELT_TYPE in order to
determine the bounds - see the code that immediately follows our
loop above:
index_type_desc = ada_find_parallel_type (type, "___XA");
ada_fixup_array_indexes_type (index_type_desc);
if (index_type_desc != NULL)
[...]
So, in order to avoid depending on an Ada example where the compiler
can potentially decide one way or the other, I decided to use an
artificial example, written in C. With ...
int multi[1][2][3];
... forcing the language to Ada, and trying to print the 'last,
we get:
(gdb) p multi'last(1)
$1 = 0
(gdb) p multi'last(2)
$2 = 1
(gdb) p multi'last(3)
$3 = 1 <<<--- This should be 2!
Additionally, I noticed that a couple of check_typedef's were missing.
This patch adds them. And since the variable in question only gets
used within an "else" block, I moved the variable declaration and
use inside that block - making it clear what the scope of the variable
is.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Move the declaration
and assignment of variable "elt_type" inside the else block
where it is used. Add two missing check_typedef calls.
Fix bug where we got TYPE's TYPE_TARGET_TYPE, where in fact
we really wanted to get ELT_TYPE's TYPE_TARGET_TYPE.

I have a case that could use an exception for "unsupported feature".
I found UNSUPPORTED_ERROR, but looking deeper, I think as is, reusing
it for other things would be fragile. E.g., if the Python script
sourced by source_script_from_stream triggers any other missing
functionality that would result in UNSUPPORTED_ERROR being propagated
out to source_script_from_stream, that would confuse the error for
Python not being built into GDB.
This patch thus redoes things a little. Instead of using an exception
for the "No Python" scenario, check whether Python is configured in
before actually trying to source the file. It adds a new function
instead of using #ifdef HAVE_PYTHON directly, as that is better at
avoiding bitrot, as both Python and !Python paths are visible to the
compiler this way.
Tested on Fedora 17, with and without Python.

This patch sanitizes the access to gdbarch made by various functions of
the SDT probe API. Before this patch, gdbarch was being accessed via
the probe's objfile; however, this proved to cause a bug on 32-bit ARM
targets because during the parsing of the probe's arguments the code
needed to access some pseudo-registers of the architecture, and this
information is not fully correct on the objfile's gdbarch.
Basically, the approach taken was to instead pass the current/selected
frame to the parsing and evaluation functions, so that they can extract
the gdbarch directly from the frame. It solved the ARM bug reported
above, and also contributed to make the API cleaner.
Tested on x86_64 and 32-bit ARM.

GDB is able to cache memory accesses requested in target_read_code,
so target_read_code is more efficient than general target_read_memory.
This patch uses target_read_code and its variants to read target
memory in the functions related to i386_skip_prologue. It improves
the performance when doing 'b foo' (foo is a function) in remote
debugging.
Nowadays, when we set a breakpoint on function f1, GDB will fetch the
code in f1 to determine the start of the function body (say skip the
prologue), it requests read from target many times. With this patch
applied, the number of RSP 'm' packets are reduced.

This helps with the following issue: Given an Ada program defining
a global variable:
package Pck is
Watch : Integer := 1974;
end Pck;
When printing the address of this variable, GDB also tries to print
the associated symbol name:
(gdb) p watch'address
$1 = (access integer) 0x6139d8 <pck__watch>
^^
||
The problem is that GDB prints the variable's linkage name, instead
of its natural name. This is because the language of the associated
minimal symbol never really gets set.
This patch adds handling for Ada symbols in symbol_find_demangled_name.
After this patch, we now get:
(gdb) p watch'address
$1 = (access integer) 0x6139d8 <pck.watch>

We observed on Windows 2012 that we were unable to unwind past
exception handlers. For instance, with any Ada program raising
an exception that does not get handled:
% gnatmake -g a -bargs -shared
% gdb a
(gdb) start
(gdb) catch exception unhandled
Catchpoint 2: unhandled Ada exceptions
(gdb) c
Catchpoint 2, unhandled CONSTRAINT_ERROR at <__gnat_unhandled_exception> (
e=0x645ff820 <constraint_error>) at s-excdeb.adb:53
53 s-excdeb.adb: No such file or directory.
At this point, we can already see that something went wrong, since
the frame selected by the debugger corresponds to a runtime function
rather than the function in the user code that caused the exception
to be raised (in our case procedure A).
This is further confirmed by the fact that we are unable to unwind
all the way to procedure A:
(gdb) bt
#0 <__gnat_unhandled_exception> (e=0x645ff820 <constraint_error>)

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
It turns out that the unwinder has been doing its job flawlessly
up until frame #5. The address in frame #5 is correct, but GDB
is not able to associate it with any symbol or unwind record.
And this is because this address is inside ntdll.dll, and when
we received the LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT for that DLL, the system
was not able to tell us the name of the library, thus causing us
to silently ignoring the event. Because GDB does not know about
ntdll.dll, it is unable to access the unwind information from it.
And because the function at that address does not use a frame
pointer, the unwinding becomes impossible.
This patch helps recovering ntdll.dll at the end of the "run/attach"
phase, simply by trying to locate that specific DLL again.
In terms of our medium to long term planning, it seems to me that
we should be able to simplify the code by ignoring LOAD_DLL_DEBUG_EVENT
during the startup phase, and modify windows_ensure_ntdll_loaded
to then detect and report all shared libraries after we've finished
inferior creation. But for a change just before 7.7 branch creation,
I thought it was safest to just handle ntdll.dll specifically. This
is less intrusive, and ntdll is the only DLL affected by the problem
I know so far.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* windows-nat.c (handle_load_dll): Add comments.
(windows_ensure_ntdll_loaded): New function.
(do_initial_windows_stuff): Use windows_ensure_ntdll_loaded.
Add FIXME comment.
