The moribund locations heuristics are problematic. This patch teaches
GDB about targets that can reliably tell whether a trap was caused by
a software or hardware breakpoint, and thus don't need moribund
locations, thus bypassing all the problems that mechanism has.
The non-stop-fair-events.exp test is frequently failing currently.
E.g., see https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q1/msg03148.html.
The root cause is a fundamental problem with moribund locations. For
example, the stepped_breakpoint logic added by af48d08f breaks in this
case (which is what happens with that test):
- Step thread A, no breakpoint is set at PC.
- The kernel doesn't schedule thread A yet.
- Insert breakpoint at A's PC, for some reason (e.g., a step-resume
breakpoint for thread B).
- Kernel finally schedules thread A.
- thread A's stepped_breakpoint flag is not set, even though it now
stepped a breakpoint instruction.
- adjust_pc_after_break gets the PC wrong, because PC == PREV_PC, but
stepped_breakpoint is not set.
We needed the stepped_breakpoint logic to workaround moribund
locations, because otherwise adjust_pc_after_break could apply an
adjustment when it shouldn't just because there _used_ to be a
breakpoint at PC (a moribund breakpoint location). For example, on
x86, that's wrong if the thread really hasn't executed an int3, but
instead executed some other 1-byte long instruction. Getting the PC
adjustment wrong of course leads to the inferior executing the wrong
instruction.
Other problems with moribund locations are:
- if a true SIGTRAP happens to be raised when the program is
executing the PC that used to have a breakpoint, GDB will assume
that is a trap for a breakpoint that has recently been removed, and
thus we miss reporting the random signal to the user.
- to minimize that, we get rid of moribund location after a while.
That while is defined as just a certain number of events being
processed. That number of events sometimes passes by before a
delayed breakpoint is processed, and GDB confuses the trap for a
random signal, thus reporting the random trap. Once the user
resumes the thread, the program crashes because the PC was not
adjusted...
The fix for all this is to bite the bullet and get rid of heuristics
and instead rely on the target knowing accurately what caused the
SIGTRAP. The target/kernel/stub is in the best position to know what
that, because it can e.g. consult priviledged CPU flags GDB has no
access to, or by knowing which exception vector entry was called when
the instruction trapped, etc. Most debug APIs I've seen to date
report breakpoint hits as a distinct event in some fashion. For
example, on the Linux kernel, whether a breakpoint was executed is
exposed to userspace in the si_code field of the SIGTRAP's siginfo.
On Windows, the debug API reports a EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT exception
code.
We needed to keep around deleted breakpoints in an on-the-side list
(the moribund locations) for two main reasons:
- Know that a SIGTRAP actually is a delayed event for a hit of a
breakpoint that was removed before the event was processed, and
thus should not be reported as a random signal.
- So we still do the decr_pc_after_break adjustment in that case, so
that the thread is resumed at the correct address.
In the new model, if GDB processes an event the target tells is a
breakpoint trap, and GDB doesn't find the corresponding breakpoint in
its breakpoint tables, it means that event is a delayed event for a
breakpoint that has since been removed, and thus the event should be
ignored.
For the decr_pc_after_after issue, it ends up being much simpler that
on targets that can reliably tell whether a breakpoint trapped, for
the breakpoint trap to present the PC already adjusted. Proper
multi-threading support already implies that targets needs to be doing
decr_pc_after_break adjustment themselves, otherwise for example, in
all-stop if two threads hit a breakpoint simultaneously, and the user
does "info threads", he'll see the non-event thread that hit the
breakpoint stopped at the wrong PC.
This way (target adjusts) also ends up eliminating the need for some
awkward re-incrementing of the PC in the record-full and Linux targets
that we do today, and the need for the target_decr_pc_after_break
hook.
If the target always adjusts, then there's a case where GDB needs to
re-increment the PC. Say, on x86, an "int3" instruction that was
explicitly written in the program traps. In this case, GDB should
report a random SIGTRAP signal to the user, with the PC pointing at
the instruction past the int3, just like if GDB was not debugging the
program. The user may well decide to pass the SIGTRAP to the program
because the program being debugged has a SIGTRAP handler that handles
its own breakpoints, and expects the PC to be unadjusted.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

Add a struct to describe the branch trace configuration and use it for
enabling branch tracing.
The user will be able to set configuration fields for each tracing format
to be used for new threads.
The actual configuration that is active for a given thread will be shown
in the "info record" command.
At the moment, the configuration struct only contains a format field
that is set to the only available format.
The format is the only configuration option that can not be set via set
commands. It is given as argument to the "record btrace" command when
starting recording.

When a thread exits, the terminal is left in mode "terminal_is_ours"
while the target executes. This patch fixes that.
We need to manually restore the terminal setting in this particular
observer. In the case of the other MI observers that call
target_terminal_ours, gdb will end up resuming the inferior later in the
execution and call target_terminal_inferior. In the case of the thread
exit event, we still need to call target_terminal_ours to be able to
print something, but there is nothing that gdb will need to resume after
that. We therefore need to call target_terminal_inferior ourselves.

Jan caught an intermittent GDB crash with the annota1.exp test:

All we need to is to continue the inferior in the foreground, and type
a command while the inferior is running. E.g.:

$
When we run a foreground execution command we call
target_terminal_inferior to stop GDB from processing input, and to put
the inferior's terminal settings in effect. Then we tell readline to
hide the prompt with display_gdb_prompt, which clears readline's input
callback too. When the target stops, we call target_terminal_ours,
which re-installs stdin in the event loop, and then we redisplay the
prompt, reinstalling the readline callbacks.
However, when annotations are in effect, the "frames-invalid"
annotation code calls target_terminal_ours after 'resume' had already
called target_terminal_inferior:

And then once we hide the prompt and remove readline's input handler
callback, we're in a bad state. We end up with the target running
supposedly in the foreground, but with stdin still installed on the
event loop. Any input then calls into readline, which aborts because
no rl_linefunc callback handler is installed:

The fix is to make the annotation code call target_terminal_inferior
again after printing, if the inferior's settings were in effect.
While at it, when we're doing output only, instead of
target_terminal_ours, we should call target_terminal_ours_for_output.
The latter doesn't actually remove stdin from the event loop, and also
leaves SIGINT forwarded to the target.
New test included.

I found a place that should be giving back the terminal to the target,
but only if the target was already owning it. So I need to add a
getter for who owns the terminal.
The trouble is that several places/target have their own globals to
track this state:
- inflow.c:terminal_is_ours
- remote.c:remote_async_terminal_ours_p
- linux-nat.c:async_terminal_is_ours
- go32-nat.c:terminal_is_ours
While one might think of adding a new target_ops method to query this,
conceptually, this state isn't really part of a particular target_ops.
Considering multi-target, the core shouldn't have to ask all targets
to know whether it's GDB that owns the terminal. There's only one GDB
(or rather, only one top level interpreter).
So what this comment does is add a new global that is tracked by the
core instead. A subsequent pass may later remove the other globals.

When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to
"info threads"), it calls update_thread_list:
update_thread_list (void)
{
prune_threads ();
target_find_new_threads ();
update_threads_executing ();
}
And then prune_threads does:
prune_threads (void)
{
struct thread_info *tp, *next;
for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next)
{
next = tp->next;
if (!thread_alive (tp))
delete_thread (tp->ptid);
}
}
Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive.
E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not
a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls...
With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends
up generating one T packet per thread:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK

That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method
implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target
threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to
GDB's thread list.
This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads
to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may
implement pruning dead threads however it wants.
Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the
patch renames it to target_update_thread_list.
The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet.
It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of
target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op.

The TUI terminal state becomes corrupted (e.g. key sequences such as
Alt_F and Alt_B no longer work) when one attaches to an inferior process
(via "run" or "attach") from within TUI. This terminal corruption
remains until you switch out of TUI mode.
This happens because the terminal state is not properly saved when
switching to and out from TUI mode. Although the functions tui_enable()
and tui_disable() both call the function target_terminal_save_ours() to
save the terminal state, this function is a no-op unless GDB has already
attached to an inferior process. This is because only the "native"
target has a useful implementation of target_terminal_save_ours()
(namely child_terminal_save_ours()) and we only have the "native" target
in our target vector if GDB has already attached to an inferior process.
So without an inferior process, switching to and from TUI mode does not
actually save the terminal state. Therefore when you attach to an
inferior process from within TUI mode, the proper terminal state is not
restored (after swapping from the inferior's terminal back to the GDB
terminal).
To fix this we just have to ensure that the terminal state is always
being properly saved when switching from and to TUI mode. To achieve
this, this patch removes the polymorphic function
target_terminal_save_ours() and replaces it with a regular function
gdb_save_tty_state() that always saves the terminal state.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu by running "make check", no new
regressions.

This makes target_ops::to_open take a const string and then fixes the
fallout.
There were a few of these I could not build. However I eyeballed it
and in any case the fixes should generally be trivial.
This is based on the patch to fix up the target debugging for to_open,
because that changes gdb to not directly install to_open as the target
command

I happened to notice that a couple of macros in target.h weren't

The target debug methods are inconsistently maintained. Most to_*
methods have some kind of targetdebug awareness, but not all of them
do. The ones that do vary in the quantity and quality of output they
generate.
This patch changes most of the target debug methods to be
automatically generated. All the arguments are printed, and separate
lines are printed for entering and existing the outermost call to the
target stack.
For example now you'd see:
-> multi-thread->to_terminal_ours (...)
-> multi-thread->to_is_async_p (...)
<- multi-thread->to_is_async_p (0x1ebb580) = 1
<- multi-thread->to_terminal_ours (0x1ebb580)
-> multi-thread->to_thread_address_space (...)
<- multi-thread->to_thread_address_space (0x1ebb580, 26802) = 1
In this case you can see nested calls. The "multi-thread" on the left
hand side is the topmost target's shortname.
There are some oddities with this patch. I'm on the fence about it
all, I really just wrote it on a whim.
It's not simple to convert every possible method, since a few don't
participate in target delegation.
Printing is done by type, so I introduced some new
debug-printing-specific typedefs to handle cases where it is nicer to
do something else.
On the plus side, this lays the groundwork for making targetdebug
affect every layer of the target stack. The idea would be to wrap
each target_ops in the stack with its own debug_target, and then you
could see calls propagate down the stack and back up; I suppose with
indentation to make it prettier. (That said there are some gotchas
lurking in this idea due to target stack introspection.)
Regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

This fixes PR gdb/17130.
The bug is that some code in utils.c was not updated during the target
delegation change:
if (job_control
/* If there is no terminal switching for this target, then we can't
possibly get screwed by the lack of job control. */
|| current_target.to_terminal_ours == NULL)
fatal ("Quit");
else
fatal ("Quit (expect signal SIGINT when the program is resumed)");
After the delegation change, to_terminal_ours will never be NULL.
I think this bug can be seen before the target delegation change by
enabling target debugging -- this would also cause to_terminal_ours to
be non-NULL.
The fix is to introduce a new target_supports_terminal_ours function,
that properly checks the target stack. This is not perhaps ideal, but
I think is a reasonable-enough approach, and in keeping with some
other existing code of the same form.
This patch also fixes a similar bug in target_supports_delete_record.

The code in parse_pid_to_attach seems a little bogus to me. If there

This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

and the GDB patch below has been confirmed as OK for current glibcs.
Further work should be done for newer glibcs:
Improve TLS variables glibc compatibility
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16954
Still the patch below implements the feature in a fully functional way backward
compatible with current glibcs, it depends on the following glibc source line:

This does two things:
1. Adds a test.
Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.
2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.
Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.
I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

21 }
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-unload-file.exp: always-inserted on: break: continue
(This is a regression caused by the remove-symbol-file command
series.)
break-unload-file.exp is about having breakpoints inserted, and then
doing "file". I caught this while writing a test that does "file
PROGRAM", while PROGRAM was already loaded, which internally does
"file" first, because I wanted to force a breakpoint_re_set, but the
test is more explicit in case GDB ever optimizes out that re-set.
The problem is that unloading the file with "file" ends up in
disable_breakpoints_in_freed_objfile, which marks all breakpoint
locations of the objfile as both shlib_disabled, _and_ clears the
inserted flag, without actually removing the breakpoints from the
inferior. Now, usually, in all-stop, breakpoints will already be
removed from the inferior before the user can issue the "file"
command, but, with non-stop, or breakpoints always-inserted on mode,
breakpoints stay inserted even while the user has the prompt. In the
latter case, then, if we let the program continue, and it executes the
address where we had previously set the breakpoint, it'll actually
execute the breakpoint instruction that we left behind...
Now, one issue is that the intent of
disable_breakpoints_in_freed_objfile is really to handle the unloading
of OBJF_USERLOADED objfiles. These are objfiles that were added with
add-symbol-file and that are removed with remove-symbol-file.
"add-symbol-file"'s docs in the manual clearly say these commands are
used to let GDB know about dynamically loaded code:
You would use this command when @var{filename} has been dynamically
loaded (by some other means) into the program that is running.
Similarly, the online help says:
(gdb) help add-symbol-file
Load symbols from FILE, assuming FILE has been dynamically loaded.
So it makes sense to, like when shared libraries are unloaded through
the generic solib machinery, mark the breakpoint locations as
shlib_disabled. But, the "file" command is not about dynamically
loaded code, it's about the main program. So the patch makes
disable_breakpoints_in_freed_objfile skip all objfiles but
OBJF_USERLOADED ones, thus skipping the main objfile.
Then, the reason that disable_breakpoints_in_freed_objfile was
clearing the inserted flag isn't clear, but likely to avoid breakpoint
removal errors, assuming remove-symbol-file was called after the
dynamic object was already unmapped from the inferior. In that case,
it'd okay to simply clear the inserted flag, but not so if the user
for example does remove-symbol-file to remove the library because he
made a mistake in the library's address, and wants to re-do
add-symbol-file with the correct address.
To address all that, I propose an alternative implementation, that
handles both cases. The patch includes changes to sym-file.exp to
cover them.
This implementation leaves the inserted flag alone, and handles
breakpoint insertion/removal failure gracefully when the locations are
in OBJF_USERLOADED objfiles, just like we handle insertion/removal
failure gracefully for locations in shared libraries.
To try to make sure we aren't patching back stale shadow memory
contents into the inferior, in case the program mapped a different
library at the same address where we had the breakpoint, without the
user having had a chance of remove-symbol-file'ing before, this adds a
new memory_validate_breakpoint function that checks if the breakpoint
instruction is still in memory. ppc_linux_memory_remove_breakpoint
does this unconditionally for all memory breakpoints, and questions
whether memory_remove_breakpoint should be changed to do this for all
breakpoints. Possibly yes, though I'm not certain, hence this
baby-steps patch.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

A patch in the target cleanup series caused a regression when using
record with target-async. Version 4 of the patch is here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00159.html
The immediate problem is that record supplies to_can_async_p and
to_is_async_p methods, but does not supply a to_async method. So,
when target-async is set, record claims to support async -- but if the
underlying target does not support async, then the to_async method
call will end up in that method's default implementation, namely
tcomplain.
This worked previously because the record target used to provide a
to_async method; one that (erroneously, only at push time) checked the
other members of the target stack, and then simply dropped to_async
calls in the "does not implement async" case.
My first thought was to simply drop tcomplain as the default for
to_async. This works, but Pedro pointed out that the only reason
record has to supply to_can_async_p and to_is_async_p is that these
default to using the find_default_run_target machinery -- and these
defaults are only needed by "run" and "attach".
So, a nicer solution presents itself: change run and attach to
explicitly call into the default run target when needed; and change
to_is_async_p and to_can_async_p to default to "return 0". This makes
the target stack simpler to use and lets us remove the method
implementations from record. This is also in harmony with other plans
for the target stack; namely trying to reduce the impact of
find_default_run_target. This approach makes it clear that
find_default_is_async_p is not needed -- it is asking whether a target
that may not even be pushed is actually async, which seems like a
nonsensical question.
While an improvement, this approach proved to introduce the same bug
when using the core target. Looking a bit deeper, the issue is that
code in "attach" and "run" may need to use either the current target
stack or the default run target -- but different calls into the target
API in those functions could wind up querying different targets.
This new patch makes the target to use more explicit in "run" and
"attach". Then these commands explicitly make the needed calls
against that target. This ensures that a single target is used for
all relevant operations. This lets us remove a couple find_default_*
functions from various targets, including the dummy target. I think
this is a decent understandability improvement.
One issue I see with this patch is that the new calls in "run" and
"attach" are not very much like the rest of the target API. I think
fundamentally this is due to bad factoring in the target API, which
may need to be fixed for multi-target. Tackling that seemed ambitious
for a regression fix.
While working on this I noticed that there don't seem to be any test
cases that involve both target-async and record, so this patch changes
break-precsave.exp to add some. It also changes corefile.exp to add
some target-async tests; these pass with current trunk and with this
patch applied, but fail with the v1 patch.
This patch differs from v4 in that it moves initialization of
to_can_async_p and to_supports_non_stop into inf-child, adds some
assertions to complete_target_initialization, and adds some comments
to target.h.

As no target uses it anymore, it can finally go away.
After removing the deprecated_xfer_memory handling from

it does is delegate to the target beneath unconditionally, which is
what the delegator installed by target-delegates.c will do for us if
no to_xfer_partial method is installed.
This was the last user of de_fault, so that goes away too.

Nowadays, TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE isn't regarded as an error in
to_xfer_partial interface, so _E_ looks odd. This patch is to

on the value of 'enum target_xfer_status', so it should be safe.

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00752.html
Third, to_traceframe_info is only called when traceframe is selected,

This changes instances of TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN(0) to
TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN(NULL) when appropriate. The use of "0" was a
relic from an earlier implementation of make-target-delegates; and I
didn't want to go back through the long patch series, fixing up

not 0, in TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN.
This switches to_read_description to the "new normal" delegation
scheme. This one was a bit trickier than the other changes due to the
way that target_read_description handled delegation. I examined all
the target implementations of to_read_description and changed the ones
returning NULL to instead delegate.
