-fsanitize=address showed a use-after-free in number_or_range_parser.
The cause was that handle_line_of_input could stash the input into
"saved_command_line", and then this could be freed by reentrant calls.
This fixes the bug by preventing commands that are read by "commands"
from being eligible for repeating.

PR gdb/18931:
* gdb.arch/aarch64-fp.c (main): Fix asm registers.
There is a small think-o in compile.exp:
if { $srcfile3 != "" } {
gdb_test "p constvar" " = 3"
gdb_test "info addr constvar" {Symbol "constvar" is constant\.}
gdb_test "compile code globalvar = constvar;"; # INCORRECT
gdb_test "print globalvar" " = 3" "print constvar value"
} else {
untested "print constvar value"
}
The line marked INCORRECT runs a simple "compile code" which is expected
to succeed. When this happens, the compile plug-in and GDB will not
output anything. The use of gdb_test matches against anything.
This is certainly not the intent, and this patch corrects the two instances
of this in the file. [The rest of gdb.compile looks okay.]

While testing a patch on the buildbot, I got this error:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/aarch64-linux-tdep.c: In function uint64_t aarch64_linux_core_read_vq(gdbarch*, bfd*):

This patch avoids the problem by using pulongest rather than %ld.

In the test script gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp we ask GDB
to list all thread groups, and match the output against a
regexp. Occasionally, I would see this test fail.
The expected output is a list of entries, each entry looking roughly
like this:
{id="<DECIMAL>",type="process",description="<STRING>",
user="<STRING>",cores=["<DECIMAL>","<DECIMAL>",...]}
All the fields after 'id' and 'type' are optional, and the 'cores'
list can contain 1 or more "<DECIMAL>" entries.
On my machine (Running Fedora 27, kernel 4.17.3-100.fc27.x86_64)
usually the 'description' is a non-empty string, and the 'cores' list
has at least one entry in it. But sometimes, very rarely, I'll see an
entry in the process group list where the 'description' is an empty
string, the 'user' is the string "?", and the 'cores' list is empty.
Such an entry looks like this:
{id="19863",type="process",description="",user="?",cores=[]}
I believe that this is caused by the process exiting while GDB is
scanning /proc for process information. The current code in
gdb/nat/linux-osdata.c is not (I think) resilient against exiting
processes.
This commit adjusts the regex that matches the 'cores' list so that an
empty list is acceptable, with this patch in place the test script
gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp never fails for me now.
I've only adjusted the cores regexp for the occasion when we have GDB
read information about all processes, its only in this case that we
might encounter an exiting process. When we read information about
two known PIDs, that we know will not exit for the duration of the
test, we require that the core list be non-empty.

In the existing code, when using the regset section iteration functions, the
size parameter is used in different ways.
With collect, size is used to create the buffer in which to write the regset.
(see linux-tdep.c::linux_collect_regset_section_cb).
With supply, size is used to confirm the existing regset is the correct size.
If REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE is set then the regset can be bigger than size.
Effectively, size is the minimum possible size of the regset.
(see corelow.c::get_core_register_section).
There are currently no targets with both REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE and a collect
function.
In SVE, a corefile can contain one of two formats after the header, both of
which are different sizes. However, when writing a core file, we always want
to write out the full bigger size.
To allow support of collects for REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE we need two sizes.
This is done by adding supply_size and collect_size.

There is one "non-trivial" change associated with this patch, though.

This patch introduces a new class which wraps the GCC C compile plug-in.
It is a little unfortunate that this all happened in between the time that
GCC moved to C++ and GDB moved to C++, leaving us with an ABI promise to
support a C-like interface. The hope is to isolate GDB from some of this
should it change in the future.
Broadly, what this does is replace calls like:
C_CTX (context)->c_ops->operation (C_CTX (context), ...);
with calls that now look like:
context->c_plugin->operation (...);
This API will be further refined in following patches when struct

If a vla is not in memory, and the upper bound is not defined, then we
can't know that an array element exists or not, and we should not try
to access the array element. One case where this happens is for
arrays that have been optimised out, the array will then have
VALUE_LVAL of not_lval, and an undefined upper bound, if we then try
to access an element of this array we will index into random GDB
memory.
An argument could be made that even for arrays that are in inferior
memory, if the upper bound is not defined then we should not try to
access the array element, however, in some of the Fortran tests, it
seems as though we do rely indexing from a base address into an array
which has no bounds defined. In this case GDBs standard protection
for detecting unreadable target memory prevents bad thing happening.

This adds software single step support that is needed by the linux native port.
This is modeled after equivalent code in the MIPS port.
This also fixes a few bugs in the compressed instruction decode support. Some
instructions are RV32/RV64 specific, and this wasn't being checked. Also, a
few instructions were accidentally using the non-compressed is_* function.
This has been tested on a HiFive Unleashed running Fedora, by putting a
breakpoint on start, typing stepi, and then holding down the return key until
it finishes, and observing that I see everything I expect to see along the way.
There is a problem in _dl_addr where I get into an infinite loop, but it seems
to be some synchronization code that doesn't agree with single step, so I have
to find the end of the loop, put a breakpoint there, continue, and then single
step again until the end.

* gdb.fortran/nested-funcs.exp: Replace "set index = 42" with
"set variable index = 42".
Return an std::string instead of a char *, saving some manual freeing.
I only manually tested with "set debug target 1" and "set debug lin-lwp
1", since this only deals with debug output.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (target_options_to_string): Return an std::string.
* target.c (str_comma_list_concat_elem): Return void, use
std::string.
(do_option): Likewise.
(target_options_to_string): Return an std::string.
* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_target::wait): Adjust.
* target-debug.h (target_debug_print_options): Adjust.
While looking into PR build/8751 (which seems to be fixed), I noticed
that it's not possible to change CPPFLAGS for gdb on the "make"
command line. It's reasonable to want to do this sometimes, and I
think this patch should suffice.

New in v3:
- Address Eli's comments.
This patch adds doc and news for the feature introduced by the previous
patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention the index cache.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Index Files Speed Up GDB): Add section about
symbol index cache.
New in v3:
- Remove things related to the dwarf-5 format.
- Fix compilation on mingw (scoped_mmap.c).
GDB can generate indexes for DWARF debug information, which, when
integrated in the original binary, can speed up loading object files.
This can be done using the gdb-add-index script or directly by the
linker itself. However, not many people know about this. And even
among those who do, because it requires additional steps, I don't know a
lot of people who actually go through that trouble.
To help make using the DWARF index more transparent, this patch
introduces a DWARF index cache. When enabled, loading an index-less
binary in GDB will automatically save an index file in ~/.cache/gdb.
When loading that same object file again, the index file will be looked
up and used to load the DWARF index. You therefore get the benefit of
the DWARF index without having to do additional manual steps or
modifying your build system. When an index section is already present
in the file, GDB will prefer that one over looking up the cache.
When doing my edit-compile-debug cycle, I often debug multiple times the
same build, so the cache helps reducing the load time of the debug
sessions after the first one.
- The saved index file is exactly the same as the output of the "save
gdb-index" command. It is therefore the exact same content that would
be found in the .gdb_index or .debug_names section. We just leave it
as a standalone file instead of merging it in the binary.
- The cache is just a directory with files named after the object
file's build-id. It is not possible to save/load the index for an
object file without build-id in the cache.
- The cache uses the gdb index format. The problem with the dwarf-5
format is that we can generate an addendum to the .debug_str section
that you're supposed to integrate to the original binary. This
complicates a little bit loading the data from the cached index files,
so I would leave this for later.
- The size taken up by ~/.cache/gdb is not limited. I was thinking we
could add configurable limit (like ccache does), but that would come
after. Also, maybe a command to flush the cache.
- The cache is disabled by default. I think once it's been out there
and tested for a while, it could be turned on by default, so that
everybody can enjoy it.
- The code was made to follow the XDG specification: if the
XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable, it is used, otherwise it falls
back to ~/.cache/gdb. It is possible to change it using "set
index-cache directory". On other OSes than GNU/Linux, ~/.cache may
not be the best place to put such data. On macOS it should probably
default to ~/Library/Caches/... On Windows, %LocalAppData%/... I
don't intend to do this part, but further patches are welcome.
- I think that we need to be careful that multiple instances of GDB
don't interfere with each other (not far fetched at all if you run GDB
in some automated script) and the cache is always coherent (either the
file is not found, or it is found and entirely valid). Writing the
file directly to its final location seems like a recipe for failure.
One GDB could read a file in the index while it is being written by
another GDB. To mitigate this, I made write_psymtabs_to_index write
to temporary files and rename them once it's done. Two GDB instances
writing the index for the same file should not step on each other's
toes (the last file to be renamed will stay). A GDB looking up a file
will only see a complete file or no file. Also, if GDB crashes while
generating the index file, it will leave a work-in-progress file, but
it won't be picked up by other instances looking up in the cache.

New in v2:
- As Tom pointed out, we don't need to keep the fd around after
mmapping. This simplifies things quite a bit, since we don't need a
new class. It's now just a function that returns a scoped_mmap.
We already have scoped_mmap, which is a thin RAII layer over mmap. If
one simply wants to mmap an entire file for reading, it takes a bit of
boilerplate. This patch introduces the mmap_file function to make this
easier.

New in v3:
- Remove changed to dwarf-5 functions.
The read_gdb_index_from_section and read_debug_names_from_section
functions read the index content, as their names state, from sections of
object files. A following patch will make it possible to read index
content from standalone files.
This patch therefore decouples the code that reads the index content
from the code that processes that content. Functions
dwarf2_read_gdb_index and dwarf2_read_debug_names receive callbacks that
are responsible for providing the index contents (for both the main file
and the potential dwz file).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_gdb_index_from_section): Rename to...
(read_gdb_index_from_buffer): ... this. Remove section
parameter, add buffer parameter.
(get_gdb_index_contents_ftype,
get_gdb_index_contents_dwz_ftype): New typedefs.
(dwarf2_read_gdb_index): Add callback parameters to get the
index contents.
(get_gdb_index_contents_from_section): New.
(dwarf2_initialize_objfile): Update call to
dwarf2_read_gdb_index.
I noticed that make -jN check would run make check-single when using GNU
make 4.2.1.
In the end, it turned out that this is due to this change from the make
4.2 NEWS file:
* The amount of parallelism can be determined by querying MAKEFLAGS, even when
the job server is enabled (previously MAKEFLAGS would always contain only
"-j", with no number, when job server was enabled).
The fix is trivial: just accept an optional arg to -j in Makefile.in
(saw_dash_j). Tested on i386-pc-solaris2.11 with just make and make
-j/-jN with both make 3.82 and 4.2.1.
* Makefile.in (saw_dash_j): Allow for GNU make 4.2+ passing -jN in
MAKEFLAGS.
A recent patch introduced a few of these:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:12862:19: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
error (err_msg);
^
Fix them by replacing the call to error with
error ("%s", err_msg);
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_target::download_tracepoint): Fix format
string errors.
The tracefile.c:trace_save function assumes trace_regblock_size won't
be larger than the MAX_TRACE_UPLOAD constant, used to size the buffer
which holds trace data. This can cause buffer overruns when this is
not the case. This patch changes this function so that the larger
size is used to size the buffer.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-08-06 Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>
* tracefile.c: Include common/byte-vector.h.
(trace_save): Change type of buf to gdb::byte_vector. Initialize
with trace_regblock_size if needed. Update uses of buf.
This patch changes collection_list to allow larger register masks.
The mask is changed from an array to a vector and is initialized to
hold the maximum possible remote register number. The stringify
method is updated to resize temp_buf if needed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-08-06 Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>
* tracepoint.h (collection_list) <m_regs_mask>: Change type to
std::vector<unsigned char>.
* tracepoint.c (collection_list::collection_list): Remove
m_regs_mask initializer from initializer list. Resize
m_regs_mask using the largest remote register number.
(collection_list::add_remote_register): Remove size check on
m_regs_mask. Use at to access element.
(collection_list::stringify): Change type of temp_buf to
gdb::char_vector. Update uses of temp_buf. Resize if needed to
stringify the register mask. Use pack_hex_byte for the register
mask.
Currently, tracepoint register masks in the QTDP packets include both
internal and remote register numbers, as well as pseudo-register
numbers.
This patch changes this so that the mask only includes remote register
numbers.
Register numbers from agent expressions are already set in the mask
using remote numbers. Other tracepoint actions used internal numbers,
e.g. "collect $regs" or "collect $<pseudoreg>". To handle pseudoreg
numbers, an empty agent expression is created and ax_reg_mask is
called for this expression and the pseudoreg. This will cause the ax
to set its mask with the corresponding remote raw register
numbers (using ax_regs_mask, which calls
gdbarch_ax_pseudo_register_collect).
If ax_regs_mask and gdbarch_ax_pseudo_register_collect also generate
more ax bytecode, the ax is also appended to the collection list. It
isn't clear that this was the original intent for
gdbarch_ax_pseudo_register_collect, and none of the arches seem to do
this, but if this changes in the future, it should work.
The patch also refactors the code used by validate_action line to
validate axs into a function that is now called from every place that
generates axs. Previously, some parts of tracepoint.c that generated
axs didn't check if the ax length was greater than MAX_AGENT_EXPR_LEN.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-08-06 Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>
* tracepoint.h (class collection_list) <add_register>: Remove.
<add_remote_register, add_ax_registers, add_local_register>:
Declare.
<add_memrange>: Add scope parameter.
* tracepoint.c (encode_actions_1): Likewise.
(collection_list::add_register): Rename to ...
(collection_list::add_remote_register): ... this. Update
comment.
(collection_list::add_ax_registers, add_local_register): New
methods.
(collection_list::add_memrange): Add scope parameter. Call
add_local_register instead of add_register.
(finalize_tracepoint_aexpr): New function.
(collection_list::collect_symbol): Update calls to add_memrange.
Call add_local_register instead of add_register. Call
add_ax_registers. Call finalize_tracepoint_aexpr.
(encode_actions_1): Get remote regnos for $reg action. Call
add_remote_register, add_ax_registers, and add_local_register.
Update call to add_memrange. Call finalize_tracepoint_aexpr.
(validate_actionline): Call finalize_tracepoint_aexpr.
This patch changes the remote target to use the remote packet size to
build QTDP packets, and to check if there is enough room for the
packet.
I changed the function to raise an error if the packet is too small,
instead of aborting gdb (through xsnprintf). It isn't clear if gdb
will be in a consistent state with respect to the stub after this,
since it's possible that some packets will be sent but not others, and
there could be an incomplete tracepoint on the stub.
The char array used to build the packets is changed to a
gdb::char_vector and sized with the result from
get_remote_packet_size.
When checking if the buffer is large enough to hold the tracepoint
condition agent expression, the length of the expression is multiplied
by two, since it is encoded with two hex digits per expression
byte. For simplicity, I assume that the result won't overflow, which
can happen for very long condition expressions.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2018-08-06 Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>
* remote.c (remote_target::download_tracepoint): Remove BUF_SIZE.
Replace array buf with gdb::char_vector buf, of size
get_remote_packet_size (). Replace references to buf and
BUF_SIZE to buf.data () and buf.size (). Replace strcpy, strcat
and xsnprintf with snprintf. Raise errors if the buffer is too
small.
