This commit finally does the (small) change that started this patch
series.
It ensures that the class_alias is only used for user-defined aliases.
So, the few GDB pre-defined aliases that were using the 'class_alias'
class are now using a real help class, typically the class of
the aliased command.

* gdb.base/alias.exp: Verify 'help aliases' shows user defined aliases.
Similarly to 'help CLASS', apropos possibly shows several
times the same help (for the command and for each of its aliases).
This patch changes 'apropos' so that the help for a command and
all its aliases is shown once.
So, apropos_cmd now skips all aliases/abbreviations, as these are printed
as part of the help of the aliased command.
When 'apropos' prints the help of a command, function 'help_cmd' now
unconditionally print the command name and its possible aliases (as we must
indicate to the user the command/aliases for which the help is printed).
When 'help somecommand' prints the help of a command, if the command is not
aliased, the command name is not printed (to avoid a useless first line), but if
it has aliases, then the command name and all its aliases are now printed.
In addition to provide to the user the choice of the best way to
type a command, it also avoids the strange behaviour that the output
of 'help somealias' does not mention somealias.

* cli/cli-decode.c (apropos_cmd): Produce output for aliases

2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.base/help.exp: Test apropos and help for commands
having aliases. Fixed comments not starting with an
upper-case letter or not finishing with a dot.
Currently, help CLASS possibly shows several times the same help,
as it shows it once for the command, and once for each alias.
The final objective of this patch series is to have class_alias used only
for user defined aliases, not anymore for aliases predefined by GDB.
The command 'help aliases' will then only show the user defined aliases.
So, the idea is that GDB predefined aliases will be shown together
with their aliased command.
This commit changes 'help CLASS' so that a command is shown once in the output,
with all its aliases.
This ensures:
* that the user has only to read once the same help text
* and sees the command and all its aliases in a glance, a.o. allowing
the user to choose the preferred way (e.g. the shortest one,
or the most mnemonic one) to type the command.
For example, the old output:
(gdb) help stack
...
List of commands:
backtrace -- Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
bt -- Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
...
(note that 'where' is not shown in this output)
becomes
(gdb) help stack
...
List of commands:
backtrace, where, bt -- Print backtrace of all stack frames, or innermost COUNT frames.
...
The output layout chosen is to have the command first, followed by all its
aliases separated by a comma. Note that the command and alias names are
title-styled. For sure, other layouts could be discussed, but this one is IMO
readable and compact.
The function 'help_cmd_list' can be simplified by removing the prefix argument,
as the prefixname of a command can now be retrieved in the GDB command tree
structure.
This also fixes the fact that 'help aliases' wrongly shows a long
list of (non-alias) when defining an alias for a prefix command.
For example, after:
(gdb) alias montre = show
then
(gdb) help aliases
shows hundreds of sub-commands starting with the non aliased command,
such as:
montre -- Generic command for showing things about the debugger.
show ada -- Generic command for showing Ada-specific settings.
show ada print-signatures -- Show whether the output of formal ...
....
'help_cmd_list' is also made static, as it is only used inside cli-decode.c.
Note that the 'help CLASS' is somewhat broken, in the sense that it
sometimes shows too many commands (commands not belonging to CLASS)
and sometimes shows not enough commands (not showing some commands
belonging to CLASS).
For example, 'help breakpoints' shows the command
'disable pretty-printer' and 'disable unwinder', not related to breakpoints.
On the other end, 'help stack' does not show 'disable unwinder'
while 'disable unwinder' is defined in unwinders.py as belonging to class_stack.
Fixing the missing commands is easy to do,
but fixing the excess commands is not straightforward, as many
subcommands have a class 'no_class' or 'all_class'.
Possibly, some of this might be improved/fixed in another patch series.
With this patch series, the 'abbrev flag' has as only remaining purpose
to avoid having the abbreviation alias appearing in the completion list,
so change 'help alias' accordingly.

2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.base/alias.exp: Update help output check.
cmd_show_list function implements the 'show' command.
cmd_show_list output is inconsistent: it sometimes shows a prefix
and sometimes does not.
For example, in the below, you see that there is a prefix before
each value, except for 'enabled'.
(gdb) show style
style address background: The "address" style background color is: none
style address foreground: The "address" style foreground color is: blue
style address intensity: The "address" style display intensity is: normal
enabled: CLI output styling is enabled.
style filename background: The "filename" style background color is: none
...
There are other inconsistencies or bugs e.g. in
the below we see twice insn-number-max, once with a prefix
and once without prefix : last line, just before the value of
instruction-history-size which is itself without prefix.
(gdb) show record
record btrace bts buffer-size: The record/replay bts buffer size is 65536.
record btrace cpu: btrace cpu is 'auto'.
record btrace pt buffer-size: The record/replay pt buffer size is 16384.
record btrace replay-memory-access: Replay memory access is read-only.
record full insn-number-max: Record/replay buffer limit is 200000.
record full memory-query: Whether query if PREC cannot record memory change of next instruction is off.
record full stop-at-limit: Whether record/replay stops when record/replay buffer becomes full is on.
function-call-history-size: Number of functions to print in "record function-call-history" is 10.
insn-number-max: instruction-history-size: Number of instructions to print in "record instruction-history" is 10.
(gdb)
Also, some values are output several times due to some aliases, so avoid outputting duplicated
values by skipping all aliases.
Now that the command structure has a correct 'back-pointer' from a command
to its prefix command, we can simplify cmd_show_list by removing its prefix argument
and at the same time fix the output inconsistencies and bugs.

* gdb.base/default.exp: Update output following fixes.
This test revealed a number of problems that are fixed in the previous commit.
2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* unittests/command-def-selftests.c (traverse_command_structure):
Verify all commands of a list have the same prefix command and
that only the top cmdlist commands have a null prefix.
The next commit updates command-def-selftests.c to detect missing
or wrong prefix commands in a list of subcommands.
This command structure selftest detects a series of problems
that are fixed by this commit.
Many commands have a null prefix command, e.g.
(gdb) maintenance selftest command_str
Running selftest command_structure_invariants.
list 0x560417949cb8 reachable via prefix 'append binary '. command 'memory' has null prefixcmd
list 0x560417949cb8 reachable via prefix 'append binary '. command 'value' has null prefixcmd
...
Most of these are fixed by the following changes:
* do_add_cmd searches the prefix command having the list
in which the command is added.
This ensures that a command defined after its prefix command
gets the correct prefix command.
* Due to the GDB initialization order, a GDB file can define
a subcommand before the prefix command is defined.
So, have add_prefix_cmd calling a new recursive function
'update_prefix_field_of_prefix_commands' to set the prefix
command of all sub-commands that are now reachable from
this newly defined prefix command. Note that this recursive
call replaces the function 'set_prefix_cmd' that was providing
a partial solution to this problem.
Following that, 2 python commands (defined after all the other GDB
commands) got a wrong prefix command, e.g. "info frame-filter" has
as prefix command the "i" alias of "info". This is fixed by having
lookup_cmd_for_prefixlist returning the aliased command rather than
the alias.
After that, one remaining problem:
(gdb) maintenance selftest command_str
Running selftest command_structure_invariants.
list 0x55f320272298 reachable via prefix 'set remote '. command 'system-call-allowed' has null prefixcmd
Self test failed: self-test failed at ../../classfix/gdb/unittests/command-def-selftests.c:196
Ran 1 unit tests, 1 failed
(gdb)
Caused by initialize_remote_fileio that was taking the address of
its arguments remote_set_cmdlist and remote_show_cmdlist instead
of receiving the correct values to use as list.

* cli/cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd_for_prefix): Return the aliased command
as prefix, not one of its aliases.
(set_cmd_prefix): Remove.
(do_add_cmd): Centralize the setting of the prefix of a command, when
command is defined after its full chain of prefix commands.
(add_alias_cmd): Remove call to set_cmd_prefix, as do_add_cmd does it.
(add_setshow_cmd_full): Likewise.
(update_prefix_field_of_prefixed_commands): New function.
(add_prefix_cmd): Replace non working call to set_cmd_prefix by

* gdb/remote-fileio.c (initialize_remote_fileio): Use the real

* gdb/remote-fileio.h (initialize_remote_fileio): Likewise.
* gdb/remote.c (_initialize_remote): Likewise.
When an alias name starts with the name of another alias,
GDB was accepting to define the aliases in one order (short first, long after),
but refused it the other way around.
So, fix the logic to recognise an already existing alias by using
lookup_cmd_composition.
Also, this revealed a bug in lookup_cmd_composition:
when the searched command is a prefix command, lookup_cmd_composition
was not returning the fact that a command was found even if the
TEXT to parse was fully consumed.

* cli/cli-cmds.c (alias_command): Check for an existing alias

2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* gdb.base/alias.exp: Test aliases starting with a prefix of
another alias.
The GDB data structure that records the GDB commands is made of
'struct cmd_list_element' defined in cli-decode.h.
A cmd_list_element has various pointers to other cmd_list_element structures,
All these pointers are together building a graph of commands.
However, when following the 'next' and '*prefixlist' pointers of
cmd_list_element, the structure must better be a tree.
If such pointers do not form a tree, then some other elements of
cmd_list_element cannot get a correct semantic. In particular, the prefixname
has no correct meaning if the same prefix command can be reached via 2 different
paths.
This commit introduces a selftest that detects (at least some cases of) errors
leading to 'next' and '*prefixlist' not giving a tree structure.
The new 'command_structure_invariants' selftest detects one single case where
the command structure is not a tree:
(gdb) maintenance selftest command_structure_invariants
Running selftest command_structure_invariants.
list 0x56362e204b98 duplicated, reachable via prefix 'show ' and 'info set '. Duplicated list first command is 'ada'
Self test failed: self-test failed at ../../classfix/gdb/unittests/command-def-selftests.c:160
Ran 1 unit tests, 1 failed
(gdb)
This was fixed by the previous commit.

(command_structure_invariants_tests): New function.
(_initialize_command_def_selftests) Renamed from
_initialize_help_doc_selftests, register command_structure_invariants
selftest.
The next commit introduces a selftest that detects when the GDB
command structure does not define a tree when using the pointers
'next/*prefixlist'. This test detects one such case, fixed
by this commit.
The command 'info set' was defined as a specific prefix command,
but re-using the command list already used for the 'show' command.
This leads to the command tree 'next/*prefixlist' to not be a tree.
This change defines 'info set ' as an alias, thereby fixing the selftest.
2020-05-15 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>
* cli/cli-cmds.c (_initialize_cli_cmds): Define 'info set' as
an alias of 'show'.
The purpose of this patch is to prepare for the future where
fixed point types become described using standard DWARF info,
rather than GNAT encodings. For that, we rename a number of
routines manipulating Ada fixed point types to make it explicit
from their new names that they rely on the GNAT encodings to work.
This will allow us, when we introduce support for fixed point types
from standard DWARF to use names that are not ambiguous with
the functions that do similar work, but only for GNAT encodings.

Say we have some common tcl code that we want to include in test-cases
t1.exp and t1.exp.
We could put the common code into a file common.exp alongside the test-cases,
but that will make dejagnu treat that file as another test-case. To prevent
this, we use a suffix, currently .in, in other words we put the common code in
a file common.exp.in.
The .in suffix however is also used in autoconf, which might cause confusion.
Change the suffix from .in to .tcl.

contrib: Handle GDB specific test result types
This commit is for the benefit of GDB, but as the binutils-gdb
repository shares the contrib/ directory with gcc, this commit must
first be applied to gcc then copied back to binutils-gdb.
This commit extends the two scripts contrib/dg-extract-results.{py,sh}
to handle some new, GDB specific test result types. These test
results types should never appear in GCC, or any other tool that
shares the contrib/ directly, so this change should be harmless.
In this patch series:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-April/167847.html
changes were made in GDB's use of Dejagnu so that two additional
conditions could be detected, these are:
1. Test names that contain either the build or source paths. Such
test names make it difficult to compare the results of two test runs
of GDB from two different directories, and
2. Duplicate test names. Duplicates make it difficult to track down
exactly which test has failed.
When running Dejagnu on GDB we can now (sometimes) see two additional
test result types matching the above conditions, these are '# of paths
in test names' and '# of duplicate test names'.
If the test is run in parallel mode (make -j...) then these extra test
results will appear in the individual test summary files, but are not
merged into the final summary file.
Additionally, within the summary file there are now two new types of
test summary line, these are 'PATH: ...' and 'DUPLICATE: ...', these
allow users to quickly search the test summary to track down where the
offending test names are. These lines are similarly not merged into
the unified gdb.sum file after a parallel test run.
This commit extends the dg-extract-results.* scripts to calculate the
totals for the two new result types, and to copy the new test summary
lines into the unified summary file.

* dg-extract-results.py: Update from gcc repo.

This patch fixes a bug in GAS where the assembler enters a tight loop
when attempting to resolve recursively-defined symbols, e.g. when

Some Intel processors implement a Branch Trace Store (BTS) which GDB
uses for reverse execution support via the "record btrace bts"
command.
I have been unable to find a description of a similar feature in a
recent (April 2020) AMD64 architecture reference:
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/40332.pdf
While it is the case that AMD processors have an LBR (last branch
record) bit in the DebugCtl MSR, it seems that it affects only four
MSRs when enabled. The names of these MSRs are LastBranchToIP,
LastBranchFromIP, LastIntToIP, and LastIntFromIP. I can find no
mention of anything more extensive. While looking at an Intel
architecture document, I noticed that Intel's P6 family from the
mid-90s had registers of the same name.
Therefore...
This commit disables "record btrace bts" support in GDB for AMD
processors.
Using the test case from gdb.base/break.exp, the sessions
below show the expected behavior (run on a machine with an
Intel processor) versus that on a machine with an AMD processor.
The AMD processor in question is reported as follows by "lscpu":
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core Processor . Finally, I'll
note that the AMD machine is actually a VM, but I see similar
behavior on both the virtualization host and the VM.

causes a lot of noise when comparing test results.

[Simon: I send this patch on behalf of Laurent Morichetti, I added the
commit message and performance measurement stuff.
Also, this patch is better viewed with "git show -w".]
stop_all_threads, in infrun.c, is used to stop all running threads on
targets that are always non-stop. It's used, for example, when the
program hits a breakpoint while GDB is set to "non-stop off". It sends
a stop request for each running thread, then collects one wait event for
each.
Since new threads can spawn while we are stopping the threads, it's
written in a way where it makes multiple such "send stop requests to
running threads & collect wait events" passes. The function completes
when it has made two passes where it hasn't seen any running threads.
With the way it's written right now is, it iterates on the thread list,
sending a stop request for each running thread. It then waits for a
single event, after which it iterates through the thread list again. It
sends stop requests for any running threads that's been created since
the last iteration. It then consumes another single wait event.
This makes it so we iterate on O(n^2) threads in total, where n is the
number of threads. This patch changes the function to reduce it to
O(n). This starts to have an impact when dealing with multiple
thousands of threads (see numbers below). At each pass, we know the
number of outstanding stop requests we have sent, for which we need to
collect a stop event. We can therefore loop to collect this many stop
events before proceeding to the next pass and iterate on the thread list
again.
To check the performance improvements with this patch, I made an
x86/Linux program with a large number of idle threads (varying from 1000
to 10000). The program's main thread hits a breakpoint once all these
threads have started, which causes stop_all_threads to be called to stop
all these threads. I measured (by patching stop_all_threads):
- the execution time of stop_all_threads
- the total number of threads we iterate on during the complete
execution of the function (the total number of times we execute the
"for (thread_info *t : all_non_exited_threads ())" loop)
These are the execution times, in milliseconds:
# threads before after
1000 226 106
2000 997 919
3000 3461 2323
4000 4330 3570
5000 8642 6600
6000 9918 8039
7000 12662 10930
8000 16652 11222
9000 21561 15875
10000 26613 20019
Note that I very unscientifically executed each case only once.
These are the number of loop executions:
# threads before after
1000 1003002 3003
2000 4006002 6003
3000 9009002 9003

9000 81027002 27003
10000 100030002 30003
This last table shows pretty well the O(n^2) vs O(n) behaviors.

sym->object() could be either a Plugin or Powerpc_relobj. There could
be a situation when Pluginobj would be proccessed in
ppc_object->get_opd_ent(dst_off) as Powerpc_relobj and it leads to the
segmentation fault.
* powerpc.cc (do_gc_mark_symbol): Don't segfault on plugin symbols.
Remove TYPE_CODE, changing all the call sites to use type::code
directly. This is quite a big diff, but this was mostly done using sed
and coccinelle. A few call sites were done by hand.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (TYPE_CODE): Remove. Change all call sites to use
type::code instead.
Add the code and set_code methods on code, in order to remove the
TYPE_CODE macro. In this patch, the TYPE_CODE macro is changed to use
type::code, so all the call sites that are used to set the type code are
changed to use type::set_code. The next patch will remove TYPE_CODE
completely.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (struct type) <code, set_code>: New methods.
(TYPE_CODE): Use type::code. Change all call sites used to set
the code to use type::set_code instead.

In stop_all_threads, GDB sends signals to other threads in an attempt
to stop them. While in a typical scenario the expected wait status is
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, it is possible that the thread GDB attempted
to stop has already terminated. If so, a waitstatus other than
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED would be received. Handle this case
appropriately.
If a wait status that denotes thread termination is ignored, GDB goes
into an infinite loop in stop_all_threads.

When a process exits and we leave the process exit event pending, we
need to make sure that at least one thread is left listed in the
inferior's thread list. This is necessary in order to make sure we
have a thread that we can later resume, so the process exit event can
be collected/reported.
When native debugging, the GNU/Linux back end already makes sure that
the last LWP isn't deleted.
When remote debugging against GNU/Linux GDBserver, the GNU/Linux
GDBserver backend also makes sure that the last thread isn't deleted
until the process exit event is reported to GDBserver core.
However, between the backend reporting the process exit event to
GDBserver core, and GDB consuming the event, GDB may update the thread
list and find no thread left in the process. The process exit event
will be pending somewhere in GDBserver's stop reply queue, or
gdb/remote.c's queue, or whathever other event queue inbetween
GDBserver and infrun.c's handle_inferior_event.
This patch tweaks remote.c's target_update_thread_list implementation
to avoid deleting the last thread of an inferior.
In the past, this case of inferior-with-no-threads led to a special
case at the bottom of handle_no_resumed, where it reads:
/* Note however that we may find no resumed thread because the whole
process exited meanwhile (thus updating the thread list results
in an empty thread list). In this case we know we'll be getting
a process exit event shortly. */
for (inferior *inf : all_non_exited_inferiors (ecs->target))
In current master, that code path is still reachable with the
gdb.threads/continue-pending-after-query.exp testcase, when tested
against GDBserver, with "maint set target-non-stop" forced "on".
With this patch, the scenario that loop was concerned about is still
properly handled, because the loop above it finds the process's last
thread with "executing" set to true, and thus the handle_no_resumed
function still returns true.
Since GNU/Linux native and remote are the only targets that support
non-stop mode, and with this patch, we always make sure the inferior
has at least one thread, this patch also removes that "inferior with
no threads" special case handling from handle_no_resumed.
Since remote.c now has a special case where we treat a thread that has
already exited as if it was still alive, we might need to tweak
remote.c's target_thread_alive implementation to return true for that
thread without querying the remote side (which would say "no, not
alive"). After inspecting all the target_thread_alive calls in the
codebase, it seems that only the one from prune_threads could result
in that thread being accidentally deleted. There's only one call to
prune_threads in GDB's common code, so this patch handles this by
replacing the prune_threads call with a delete_exited_threads call.
This seems like an improvement anyway, because we'll still be doing
what the comment suggests we want to do, and, we avoid remote protocol
traffic.

In stop_all_threads, the thread events of the current top target are
enabled at the beginning of the function and then disabled at the end
(at scope exit time). Because there may be multiple targets whose
thread lists will be updated and whose threads are stopped,
enable/disable thread events for all targets.
This update caused a change in the annotations. In particular, a
"frames-invalid" annotation is printed one more time due to switching
the current inferior. Hence, gdb.base/annota1.exp and
gdb.cp/annota2.exp tests are also updated.
Regression-tested on X86_64 Linux using the default board file and the
native-extended-gdbserver board file.

Introduce two new convenience functions:
1. all_non_exited_process_targets: returns a collection of all process
stratum targets that have non-exited inferiors on them. Useful for
iterating targets.
2. switch_to_target_no_thread: switch the context to the first
inferior of the given target, and to no selected thread.

function declarations.
* process-stratum-target.c (all_non_exited_process_targets)
(switch_to_target_no_thread): New function implementations.
This is a refactoring. The extracted function is placed deliberately
before 'stop_all_threads' because the function will be re-used there
in a subsequent patch for handling an exit status kind received from
a thread that GDB attempted to stop.

In infrun.c's resume_1 function, move the definition of the local
variable PC down to its first use. This is useful if the thread we want
to resume is already gone with a pending exit event, because we avoid
the error we would see otherwise when trying to read the PC.

* infrun.c (resume_1): Move a 'regcache_read_pc' call down to first
use.
It possible that a thread whose PC we attempt to read is already dead.
In this case, 'regcache_read_pc' errors out. This impacts the
"proceed" execution flow, where GDB quits early before having a chance
to check if there exists a pending event. To remedy, keep going with
a 0 value for the PC if 'regcache_read_pc' fails. Because the value
of PC before resuming a thread is mostly used for storing and checking
the next time the thread stops, this tolerance is expected to be
harmless for a dead thread/process.

* regcache.c (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function
implementation that returns 0 if the PC cannot read via

(keep_going_pass_signal): Ditto.

For now we only have one char pointer in RISC-V tdata, so it should be fine.
But once we need more elements in tdata, then we may get some uninitialize
or unexpected values. I do meet the same problem when extending the RISC-V
tdata.
bfd/
elfnn-riscv.c (elfNN_riscv_mkobject): New function. We need this
to initialize RISC-V tdata.
I recently noticed the align_value function in ada-lang.c. This can
be removed, in favor of align_up from gdbsupport.

The async-event.[ch] files were introduced recently as a result of
splitting the event-loop. I believe the copyright year update was
just an oversight. So, this patch fixes that.

* async-event.c: Update the copyright year.

This commit disables the recently added checking for paths in test
names, and for duplicate test names, when the gdb tests are run in
parallel.
When running the gdb tests in parallel the extra result count lines
produced cause the dg-extract-results scripts to exit with an error.
The patches for the dg-extract-results scripts have been posted to the
gcc-patches mailing list here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-May/545562.html
Once they are merged there then these changes can be merged over to
binutils-gdb, and this commit can be reverted.

* lib/check-test-names.exp: Disable when testing is being run in

When running test-case gdb.base/jit-elf.exp with target board

UNTESTED: gdb.base/jit-elf.exp: failed to compile jit-elf-main"-attach"

The problem is a string concat in jit-elf.exp:
...
${main_binfile}"-attach"
...
which is intended to generate string 'jit-elf-main-attach' but instead
generates string 'jit-elf-main"-attach"'.
Fix this by using "${main_binfile}-attach" instead.

* gdb.base/jit-elf.exp: Fix string concat.
When running test-case jit-elf.exp with target board cc-with-gdb-index, I run
into:
...
gdb compile failed, outputs/gdb.base/jit-elf/.tmp/jit-elf-main-attach: \
No such file or directory.
ERROR: tcl error sourcing src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/jit-elf.exp.
ERROR: can't read "main_basename": no such variable
while executing
"untested "failed to compile ${main_basename}.c""
(procedure "compile_jit_main" line 7)
...
The problem is in compile_jit_main in lib/jit-elf-helpers.exp, where we try to
emit an untested message using global variable main_basename.c.
Fixing this by declaring the variable global results in duplicate test-names,
because the same source file is compiled more than once.
Instead, fix this by using the result name in the untested message.
