This patch is a reimplementation of [1] which was submitted in 2015 by
Neil Schellenberger. Copyright issue was sorted out [2] last year.
It proposed a new section (.gnu.xhash) and related dynamic tag
(DT_GNU_XHASH). The new section would be virtually identical to the
existing .gnu.hash except for the translation table (xlat) which would
contain correct MIPS .dynsym indexes corresponding to the hashvals in
chains. This is because MIPS ABI imposes a different ordering on the
dynsyms than the one expected by the .gnu.hash section. Another addition
would be a leading word (ngnusyms) which would contain the number of
entries in the translation table.
In this patch, the new section name and dynamic tag are changed to
reflect the fact that the section should be treated as MIPS-specific
(.MIPS.xhash and DT_MIPS_XHASH).
This patch addresses the alignment issue as reported in [3], which is
caused by the leading word added to the .MIPS.xhash section. Leading word
is removed in this patch, and the number of entries in the translation
table is now calculated using DT_MIPS_SYMTABNO dynamic tag (this is
addressed by the corresponding glibc patch).
Suggestions on coding style in [4] were taken into account. Existing
GNU hash testcase was covered, and another one was added in the MIPS
part of the testsuite.
The other major change is reserving MIPS ABI version 5 for .MIPS.xhash,
marking the need of support for .MIPS.xhash in the dynamic linker (again,
addressed in the corresponding glibc patch). This is something which I
am not sure of, especially after reading [5]. I am confused on whether
this ABI version is reserved for IFUNC, or it can be used for this
purpose.

This is due comparing a get_frame_pc result (which includes the for PIE

Armv8.3-a Pointer Authentication causes the function return address to be
obfuscated on entry to some functions. GDB must unmask the link register in
order to produce a backtrace.
The following patch adds markers of [PAC] to the bracktrace, to indicate
which addresses needed unmasking. This includes the backtrace when using MI.
For example, consider the following backtrace:
(gdb) bt
0 0x0000000000400490 in puts@plt ()
1 0x00000000004005dc in foo ("hello") at cbreak-lib.c:6
2 0x0000000000400604 [PAC] in bar () at cbreak-lib.c:12
3 0x0000000000400620 [PAC] in main2 () at cbreak.c:17
4 0x00000000004005b4 in main () at cbreak-3.c:10
The functions in cbreak-lib use pointer auth, which masks the return address
to the previous function, causing the addresses of bar (in the library) and main2
(in the main binary) to require unmasking in order to unwind the backtrace.
An extra bool is added alongside the prev_pc in the frame structure. At the
point at which the link register is unmasked, the AArch64 port calls into frame
to sets the bool. This is the most efficient way of doing it.
The marker is also added to the python frame printer, which is always printed if
set. The marker is not explicitly exposed to the python code.
I expect this will potentially cause issues with some tests in the testsuite
when Armv8.3 pointer authentication is used. This should be fixed up in the
the future once real hardware is available for full testsuite testing.

This patch makes the elf64bpf emulation to use it's own linker script,
based on elf.sc. At the moment, the only change is that the BPF
executable doesn't define an entry symbol (BPF programs feature
several entry points scattered in several sections.)
This is a step towards the goal of generating proper ELF executables
that would be loaded by the kernel's libbpf. We are not there yet:
BPF "programs" should still be linked with -r.
This change removes a warning while linking executables, decreases the
number of unsupported tests in the target from 47 to 29, and increases
the number of expected passes from 104 to 145.
Regtested in x86_64 for all targets.

Several approaches were discussed (mail or irc) to verify the invariants of
the GDB help documentation : checking with apropos ., modifying add_cmd
to do the check and output a warning, implement maintenance check-doc.
A selftest was finally chosen as:
* this can be run on demand, including by users if they want
to check user defined commands.
* it does not interact with the normal behaviour of apropos, define,
python, ...
(such as output warnings when a user defines a command help that
does not respect the doc).
* when the selftest runs, it checks the user defined and python
defined commands currently defined.
gdb/ChangeLog
* unittests/help-doc-selftests.c: New file.
* Makefile.in: Add the new file.
With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

This required fixing a small latent bug in set_output_style. This
function always passed NULL to emit_style_escape; but when writing to

directly. (FWIW this is another argument for better integrating the

print_source_lines_base reopens the source file every time that a
source line is to be printed. However, there's no need to do this so
frequently -- it's enough to do it when switching source files, and
otherwise rely on the cache.
The code seems to try to avoid these multiple opens; at a guess I'd
say something just got confused along the way.
This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing the code both to make it
more clear, and to ensure that reopens only occur when the "last
source visited" changes.

* source.c (last_source_error): Now bool.
(print_source_lines_base): Make "noprint" bool. Only open
source file when last_source_visited changes.
Currently, gdb stores the number of lines and an array of file offsets
for the start of each line in struct symtab. This patch moves this
information to the source cache. This has two benefits.
First, it allows gdb to read a source file less frequently.
Currently, a source file may be read multiple times: once when
computing the file offsets, once when highlighting, and then pieces
may be read again while printing source lines. With this change, the
file is read once for its source text and file offsets; and then
perhaps read again if it is evicted from the cache.
Second, if multiple symtabs cover the same source file, then this will
share the file offsets between them. I'm not sure whether this
happens in practice.

Currently the source cache will only store highlighted text. However,
there's no reason it could not also store plain text, when styling is
turned off.
This patch makes this change. This also simplifies the source cache
code somewhat.

<get_plain_source_lines>: Update.
The source cache was not returning the final \n of the requested range
of lines. This caused regressions with later patches in this series,
so this patch pre-emptively fixes the bug.
This adds a self-test of "extract_lines" to the source cache code. To
make it simpler to test, I changed extract_lines to be a static
function, and changed it's API a bit.

This is a mostly cosmetic fix for cases like PR24873 where LTO
recompiled objects were supposed to be inserted inside a group. The
specific case handled by this patch is when the first file inside a
group is an archive, the first file claimed by the plugin. Prior to
this patch we would have inserted the recompiled objects before the
group, which doesn't matter really since the entire group will be
reloaded, but it looks a little wrong in map files.
PR 24873
* ldlang.c (find_replacements_insert_point): Return "before" flag.
(find_next_input_statement): New function.
(lang_process): When placing recompiled LTO objects before a
claimed archive, place them immediately before in the statement
list.
Reloading of archives (and checking --as-needed DSOs again) is
disabled until we hit the plugin insert point. It's necessary to do
that because in a case like lib1.a lto.o lib2.a where lib1.a and
lib2.a contain duplicate symbols, we want the lto.o recompiled object
to pull in objects from lib2.a as necessary, but not from lib1.a.
Unfortunately this heuristic fails when the insert point is inside a
group, because ld actually loads the symbols from the recompiled
object before running over the contours of the script, thus missing
the fact that new undefs appeared in the group.

(open_input_bfds <lang_group_statement_enum>): Loop on

Running
make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp"
on my machine results in timeout failures. Running it while having
`tail -F testsuite/gdb.log` on the side shows that the test is never
really blocked, it is just slow at consuming the large output generated
by `-list-thread-groups --available` (which lists all the processes on
the system).
If I increase the timeout to a large value, the test passes in ~30
seconds (compared to under 1 second normally).
Increase the timeout for the particular mi_gdb_test that is long to
execute under read1. The new timeout value is a bit arbitrary. The
default timeout is 10 seconds, so I set the new timeout to be
"old-timeout * 10", so 100 seconds in the typical case.

Currently some code in gdb uses build_help with N_(), like:
static const std::string compile_print_help
= gdb::option::build_help (N_("\
I believe this is incorrect. The N_ macro is used to mark text that
should end up in the message catalog, but which will be translated by
a later call to gettext.
However, in this case, there is no later call to gettext, so (if gdb
had translations), this text would remain untranslated.
Instead, I think using the ordinary _() macro is correct here.
Translators will have to know to preserve "%OPTIONS%" in the text --
but that seems both unavoidable and fine.
Tested by rebuilding as there's not much else to do.

When running gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp with
--target_board=unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie, we get:
...
nr of expected passes 140
...
The test-case is compiled once with nopie and once with pie, but in both cases
we end up with a non-PIE executable. The "-fno-PIE -no-pie" options specified
using the target_board are interpreted by dejagnu as multilib_flags, and end up
overriding the pie flags.
Fix this by checking in gdb_compile if the resulting exec is non-PIE despite of
a pie setting, and if so return an error:
...
