This moves the demangled_names_hash from the objfile into the per-BFD
object. This is part of the objfile splitting project.
The demangled names hash is independent of the program space. And, it
is needed by the symbol tables. Both of these things indicate that it
must be pushed into the per-BFD object, which this patch does.

Right now we always share per-BFD data across objfiles, if there is a
BFD. This works fine. However, we're going to start sharing more
data, and sometimes this data will come directly from sections of the
BFD. If such a section has SEC_RELOC set, then the data coming from
that section will not be truly sharable -- the section will be
program-space-dependent, and re-read by gdb for each objfile.
This patch disallows per-BFD sharing in this case. This is a bit
"heavy" in that we could in theory examine each bit of shared data for
suitability. However, that is more complicated, and SEC_RELOC is rare
enough that I think we needn't bother.
Note that the "no sharing" case is equivalent to "gdb works as it
historically did". That is, the sharing is a new(-ish) optimization.

will hold the signal number when the inferior terminates due to the
uncaught signal.
I've made modifications on infrun.c:handle_inferior_event such that
$_exitcode gets cleared when the inferior signalled, and vice-versa.
This assumption was made because the variables are mutually
exclusive, i.e., when the inferior terminates because of an uncaught
signal it is not possible for it to return. I have also made modifications
such that when a corefile is loaded, $_exitsignal gets set to the uncaught
signal that "killed" the inferior, and $_exitcode is cleared.
The patch also adds a NEWS entry, documentation bits, and a testcase. The
documentation entry explains how to use $_exitsignal and $_exitcode in a

The ptid_t contructors, accessors and predicates are documented in
_three_ places, and each place uses a different wording.
E.g, the descriptions in the .c file of the new ptid_lwp_p, ptid_tid_p
weren't updated in the final revision like the descriptions in the .h
file were. Clearly, switching to a style that has a single central
description avoids such issues.
Worse, some of the existing descriptions are plain wrong, such as:
/* Attempt to find and return an existing ptid with the given PID, LWP,
and TID components. If none exists, create a new one and return
that. */
ptid_t ptid_build (int pid, long lwp, long tid);
The function does nothing that complicated. It's just a simple
constructor.
So this gets rid of all the unnecessary descriptions, leaving only the
ones near the function declarations in the header file, and
fixes/clarifies those that remain.

This patch moves pending_event to remote_notif_state. All pending
events are destroyed in remote_notif_state_xfree. However,
discard_pending_stop_replies release pending event too, so the pending
event of stop notification is released twice, we need some refactor
here. We add a new function discard_pending_stop_replies_in_queue
which only discard events in stop_reply_queue, and let
remote_notif_state_xfree release pending event for all notif_client.

Hi,
This FIXME goes into my eyes, when I am about to modify something here,
/* Name is allocated by name_of_child. */
/* FIXME: xstrdup should not be here. */
This FIXME was introduced in the python pretty-pretter patches.

create_child_with_value is called in two paths,
1. varobj_list_children -> create_child -> create_child_with_value,
2. install_dynamic_child -> install_dynamic_child -> varobj_add_child
-> create_child_with_value
In path #1, 'name' is allocated by name_of_child, as the original
comment said, we don't have to duplicate NAME in
create_child_with_value. In path #2, 'name' is got from
PyArg_ParseTuple, and we have to duplicate NAME.
This patch removes the call to xstrdup in create_child_with_value
and call xstrudp in update_dynamic_varobj_children (path #2).

If enabling PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK fails, we never test for
PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD support. Before PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD is checked,
we have:
/* First, set the PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK option. If this fails, we
know for sure that it is not supported. */
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, child_pid, (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3) 0,
(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4) PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK);
if (ret != 0)
{
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_KILL, child_pid, (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3) 0,
(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4) 0);
if (ret != 0)
{
warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: failed to kill child"));
return;
}
ret = my_waitpid (child_pid, &status, 0);
if (ret != child_pid)
warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: failed "
"to wait for killed child"));
else if (!WIFSIGNALED (status))
warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: unexpected "
"wait status 0x%x from killed child"), status);
return; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
}
Note that early return. If PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK isn't supported, we're
not checking PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD. This didn't use to be a problem
before the unification of this whole detection business in
linux-ptrace.c. Before, the sysgood detection was completely
separate:
static void
linux_test_for_tracesysgood (int original_pid)
{
int ret;
sigset_t prev_mask;
/* We don't want those ptrace calls to be interrupted. */
block_child_signals (&prev_mask);
linux_supports_tracesysgood_flag = 0;
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, original_pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD);
if (ret != 0)
goto out;
linux_supports_tracesysgood_flag = 1;
out:
restore_child_signals_mask (&prev_mask);
}
So we need to get back the decoupling somehow. I think it's cleaner
to split the seperate feature detections to separate functions. This
patch does that. The new functions are named for their counterparts
that existed before this code was moved to linux-ptrace.c.
Note I've used forward declarations for the new functions to make the
patch clearer, as otherwise the patch would look like I'd be adding a
bunch of new code. A reorder can be done in a follow up patch.

Currently, in some scenarios, GDB prints <optimized out> when printing
outer frame registers. An <optimized out> register is a confusing
concept. What this really means is that the register is
call-clobbered, or IOW, not saved by the callee. This patch makes GDB
say that instead.
Before patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax $1 = <optimized out>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <optimized out>
After patch:
(gdb) p/x $rax
$1 = <not saved>
(gdb) info registers rax
rax <not saved>
However, if for some reason the debug info describes a variable as
being in such a register (**), we still want to print <optimized out>
when printing the variable. IOW, <not saved> is reserved for
inspecting registers at the machine level. The patch uses
lval_register+optimized_out to encode the not saved registers, and
makes it so that optimized out variables always end up in
!lval_register values.
** See <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00787.html>.
Current/recent enough GCC doesn't mark variables/arguments as being in
call-clobbered registers in the ranges corresponding to function
calls, while older GCCs did. Newer GCCs will just not say where the
variable is, so GDB will end up realizing the variable is optimized
out.
frame_unwind_got_optimized creates not_lval optimized out registers,
so by default, in most cases, we'll see <optimized out>.
value_of_register is the function eval.c uses for evaluating
OP_REGISTER (again, $pc, etc.), and related bits. It isn't used for
anything else. This function makes sure to return lval_register
values. The patch makes "info registers" and the MI equivalent use it
too. I think it just makes a lot of sense, as this makes it so that
when printing machine registers ($pc, etc.), we go through a central
function.
We're likely to need a different encoding at some point, if/when we
support partially saved registers. Even then, I think
value_of_register will still be the spot to tag the intention to print
machine register values differently.
value_from_register however may also return optimized out
lval_register values, so at a couple places where we're computing a
variable's location from a dwarf expression, we convert the resulting
value away from lval_register to a regular optimized out value.

The native-gdbserver.exp board, used to test against gdbserver in
"target remote" mode, triggers that case ($use_gdb_stub is true). So
gdb_continue_to_end doesn't work for catch-syscall.exp as here we
catch the exit_group and continue from that, expecting to see a real
program exit. I was about to post a patch that changes
catch-syscall.exp to call a new function that just always does what
gdb_continue_to_end does in the !$use_gdb_stub case. But, since
GDBserver doesn't really need this, in the end I thought it better to
teach the testsuite that there are stubs that know how to report
program exits, by adding a new "exit_is_reliable" board variable that
then gdb_continue_to_end checks.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
The problem is the whole "Child exited ... GDBserver exiting" output,
that comes out of GDBserver, and that the testsuite is not expecting.
I pondered somehow making the testsuite adjust to this. But,
testsuite aside, I think GDBserver should not be outputting this at
all when GDB is connected through stdio. GDBserver will be printing
this in GDB's console, but the user can already tell from the regular
output that the inferior is gone.
Again, manually:

The current implementation is forgetting to populate the thread list
when attaching to the process. This results in an incomplete list of
threads when debugging a threaded program.
Unfortunately, as the added comments hints, there appears to be

spawning the "ps" command, and parsing its output. Not great,

So far elinos.py was assuming that the whole ELinOS environment was
around to find the system libraries; if some environment variables
were missing, the script would just abort.
This was a bit extreme. It is possible to do better than that: to get
the core system libraries, one doesn't need to have a full environment
but just the path to the CDK. The path to kernel project is only
needed for the optional Xenomai libs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* system-gdbinit/elinos.py (get_elinos_environment): Return an
incomplete dictionnary instead of None in case of missing
environment variables.
(elinos_init): in case of an incomplete environment, best
effort to load system libraries instead of abort.
When building the program with the shared GNAT runtime, the debugger
is unable to insert Ada exception catchpoints until that runtime
has been mapped to memory. In other words, we expect the user to start
the program first, before attempting to insert that catchpoint.
The detection mechanism that tries to provide some useful tips to
the user fails when the program itself contains a trampoline symbol
matching the symbol that the catchpoint is trying to use. This
results in the following error message:
(gdb) catch exception
Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information.
Cannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration.
Instead, we expected the following error message:
(gdb) catch exception
Unable to insert catchpoint. Try to start the program first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_has_this_exception_support): Ignore
mst_solib_trampoline minimal symbols.
* i386-darwin-nat.c (darwin_complete_target): Install methods for
hardware watchpoint.
(i386_darwin_dr_set): Support 32 and 64 bit states.
(i386_darwin_dr_get): Likewise.
(i386_darwin_dr_set_control): Make static.
(i386_darwin_dr_set_addr, i386_darwin_dr_get_addr)
(i386_darwin_dr_get_status, i386_darwin_dr_get_control): Likewise.
It is possible to have a build of glibc where SYS_perf_event_open is not
defined (because when the glibc was compiled, the syscall did not exist),
but have newer kernel headers installed so that linux/perf_event.h is
available. In this setup, you get a build failure:
./common/linux-btrace.c: In function 'kernel_supports_btrace':
./common/linux-btrace.c:316:23: error: 'SYS_perf_event_open' undeclared (first use in this function)
Update the ifdef check to also see if the syscall is available.

I tried debugging a remote Windows program on Linux host, and pointed the
sysroot to "/some/path/" rather than "remote:", and I found GDB couldn't
find the dlls in the sysroot. If the dll name is
"C:/Windows/system32/ntdll.dll", I end up with the sysroot+in_pathname
concatenated this way:
(top-gdb) p temp_pathname
$1 = 0x228b690 "/some/pathC:/Windows/system32/ntdll.dll"
^^
That is, a directory separator is missing. This is a regression.
The problem is that solib_find decides that since the target path has
a drive spec, a separator is not necessary, which is clearly wrong in
this case. That check was added in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00028.html>, to
handle the case of sysroot being "remote:". This patch fixes that
original issue in a different way. Instead of checking whether the
path has a drive spec, check whether the sysroot is "remote:". The
patch adds a table that helps visualize the cases that need a
separator. I also confirmed the original issue is still handled as
expected. That is, that "set sysroot remote:" still does the right
thing.
remote_filename_p returns true if the filename is prefixed with
"remote:". In this case, we need to check whether the filename is
exactly "remote:". I thought of different ways or either changing
remote_filename_p or adding another convenience function to remote.c
to avoid exposing the "remote:" prefix out of remote.c. But all
attempts turned out adding lot of over needless complication. So the
patch just exposes the prefix behind a new macro, which allows using a
straighforward strcmp.

* remote.c (remote_filename_p): Adjust to use
REMOTE_SYSROOT_PREFIX.
* solib.c (solib_find): When deciding whether we need to add a
directory separator, check whether the sysroot is "remote:"
instead of checking whether the patch has a drive spec. Add
comments.
I noticed these fields aren't really necessary -- if the T stop reply
indicated any we have any special event, the fallthrough doesn't
really do anything.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17 w/ local gdbserver, and also confirmed
"catch load" against a Windows gdbserver running under Wine, which
exercises TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED, still works as expected.
