remote: C++ify thread_item and threads_listing_context
21fe1c752e
broke the test gdb.threads/names.exp. The problem is that since we now
use an std::string to hold the extra_info, an empty string is returned
by target_extra_thread_info to print_thread_info_1 when the remote stub
didn't send any extra info, instead of NULL before. Because of that,
print_thread_info_1 prints the extra info between parentheses, which
results in some spurious empty parentheses.
Expected: * 1 Thread 22752.22752 "main" all_threads_ready () at ...
Actual : * 1 Thread 22752.22752 "main" () all_threads_ready () a ...
Since the bug was introduced by a behavior change in the remote target,
I chose to fix it on the remote target side by making it return NULL
when the extra string is empty. This will avoid possibly changing the
behavior of the common code and affecting other targets.
The name field has the same problem. If a remote stub returns no thread
names, remote_thread_name will return an empty string instead of NULL,
so print_thread_info_1 will show empty quotes ("") instead of nothing.

the "qXfer" packets where missed. This commit fixes that.
I've changed remote_search_memory too for consistency (seems like
those are the last direct references to packet->support), though the
difference is not observable because the qSearch:memory packet is auto
probed. Note gdb.base/find-unmapped.exp already exercises explicit

There are multiple definitions of the private_thread_info structure
compiled in the same GDB build. Because of the one definition rule, we
need to change this if we want to be able to make them non-POD (e.g. use
std::vector fields). This patch creates a class hierarchy, with
private_thread_info being an abstract base class, and all the specific
implementations inheriting from it.
In order to poison XNEW/xfree for non-POD types, it is also needed to
get rid of the xfree in thread_info::~thread_info, which operates on an
opaque type. This is replaced by thread_info::priv now being a
unique_ptr, which calls the destructor of the private_thread_info
subclass when the thread is being destroyed.
Including gdbthread.h from darwin-nat.h gave these errors:
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbthread.h:609:3: error: must use 'class' tag to refer to type 'thread_info' in this scope
thread_info *m_thread;
^
class
/usr/include/mach/thread_act.h:240:15: note: class 'thread_info' is hidden by a non-type declaration of 'thread_info' here
kern_return_t thread_info
^
It turns out that there is a thread_info function in the Darwin/XNU/mach API:
http://web.mit.edu/darwin/src/modules/xnu/osfmk/man/thread_info.html
Therefore, I had to add the class keyword at a couple of places in gdbthread.h,
I don't really see a way around it.

This patch C++ifies the thread_item and threads_listing_context
structures in remote.c. thread_item::{extra,name} are changed to
std::string. As a result, there's a bit of awkwardness in
remote_update_thread_list, where we have to xstrdup those strings when
filling the private_thread_info structure. This is removed in the
following patch, where private_thread_info is also C++ified and its
corresponding fields made std::string too. The xstrdup then becomes an
std::move.
Other than that there's nothing really special, it's a usual day-to-day
VEC -> vector and char* -> std::string change. It allows removing a
cleanup in remote_update_thread_list.
Note that an overload of hex2bin that returns a gdb::byte_vector is
added, with corresponding selftests.

There are currently multiple definitions of private_inferior, defined in
remote.c and darwin-nat.h. The patch that poisons XNEW and friends for
non-POD types trips on that, because private_inferior is freed in
~inferior(), where it is an opaque type. Since the compiler can't tell
whether the type is POD, it gives an error. Also, we can't start using
C++ features in these structures (make them non-POD) as long as there
are multiple definitions with the same name. For these reasons, this
patch makes a class hierarchy, with private_inferior being the abstract
base class, and darwin_inferior & remote_inferior inheriting from it.
Destruction is done through the virtual destructor.
I stumbled on some suspicious code in the darwin implementation though.
darwin_check_new_threads does an XCNEW(darwin_thread_t) when it finds a
new thread, allocating a new structure for it (darwin_thread_t is a
typedef for private_thread_info). It then VEC_safe_pushes it in a
vector defined as DEF_VEC_O (a vector of objects). This means that the
structure content gets copied in the vector. The thread_info object is
created with the XCNEW'ed structure as the private thread info, while
the rest of the code works with the instance in the vector. We have
therefore two distinct instances of darwin_thread_t/private_thread_info
for each thread. This is not really a problem in practice, because
thread_info::priv is not used in the darwin code. I still find it weird
and far from ideal, so I tried to fix it by changing the vector to be a
vector of pointers. There should now be a single instance of the
structure for each thread. The deallocation of the
darwin_thread_t/private_thread_info structure is done by the thread_info
destructor.
I am able to build on macOS, but not really test, since the port seems a
bit broken. I am not able to debug reliably on the machine I have
access to, which runs macOS 10.12.6.

We have a customer who is using a Corelis gdb server to connect to gdb.
Occasionally, the gdb server will send a 0-byte block of memory for a
read. When this happens, gdb gives an assertion from target.c:
internal-error: target_xfer_partial: Assertion `*xfered_len > 0' failed.
This problem is almost identical to that fixed in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00636.html

This patch removes VEC (mem_region). Doing so requires touching a lot
of little things here and there.
The fields in mem_attrib are now initialized during construction. The
values match those that were in default_mem_attrib (now removed).
unknown_mem_attrib is also removed, and replaced with a static method
(mem_attrib::unknown) that returns the equivalent.
mem_region is initialized in a way similar to mem_region_init (now
removed) did.
I found the organization of mem_region_list and target_mem_region_list a
bit confusing. Sometimes mem_region_list points to the same vector as
target_mem_region_list (and therefore does not own it), and sometimes
(when the user manually edits the mem regions) points to another vector,
and in this case owns it. To avoid this ambiguity, I think it is
simpler to have two vectors, one for target-defined regions and one for
user-defined regions, and have mem_region_list point to one or the
other. There are now no vector objects dynamically allocated, both are
static.
The make-target-delegates script does not generate valid code when a
target method returns a type with a parameter list. For this reason, I
created a typedef (mem_region_vector) that's only used in the target_ops
structure. If you speak perl, you are welcome to improve the script!

Since this target method returns an allocated object, return a
unique_ptr. It allows getting rid a some cleanups here and there.
I had to shuffle the includes around. First, target.h now needs to
include tracepoint.h, to get the definition of traceframe_info_up.
However, the definition of enum trace_find_type was later in target, so
I had to move it to tracepoint.h, so that the declaration of tfind_1
could know about it. I then had to remove the include of target.h from
tracepoint.h, which caused a circular dependency (it was probably
included to get enum trace_find_type in the first place anyway).

When debugging two inferiors (or more) against gdbserver, and the
inferiors have different architectures, such as e.g., on x86_64
GNU/Linux and one inferior is 64-bit while the other is 32-bit, then
GDB can get confused with the different architectures in a couple
spots.
In both cases I ran into, GDB incorrectly ended up using the
architecture of whatever happens to be the selected inferior instead
of the architecture of some other given inferior:
#1 - When parsing the expedited registers in stop replies.
#2 - In the default implementation of the target_thread_architecture
target method.
These resulted in instances of the infamous "Remote 'g' packet reply
is too long" error. For example, with the test added in this commit,
we get:
~~~
Continuing.

This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.

This finally eliminates an old hack left in place when tracepoint RSP

This patch adds support to remote targets for converting a thread
handle to a thread_info struct pointer.
A thread handle is fetched via a "handle" attribute which has been
added to the qXfer:threads:read query packet. An implementation is

... by adding the expected size, and the received size. I found this
useful when debugging gdbarch/remote issues, since it gives a hint of
what gdb expects and what the remote sent.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (process_g_packet): Update error message.
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

There is an assertion that is triggering when we start GDB and
instruct it to debug a remote inferior, but don't provide a local
binary, like:
./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -ex "tar ext :1234" \
-ex "set remote exec-file /bin/ls" -ex r
In this case, when calling exec_file_locate_attach to locate the
inferior, GDB is incorrectly resetting the breakpoints without a
thread/inferior even running, which causes an assertion to be
triggered:
binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:1609: internal-error: scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread(): Assertion `tp != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
This happens because add_current_inferior_and_thread (on remote.c) is
breaking an invariant: making inferior_ptid point to a non-existing
thread and then calling common code, which in this case is
breakpoint_re_set. The fix is to make sure that inferior_ptid points
to null_ptid if there is no thread present.
A testcase is provided. Regtested on buildbot.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

Breakpoints are currently in a limbo state between C and C++. There is
a pseudo class hierarchy implemented using struct fields. Taking
watchpoint as an example:
struct watchpoint
{
/* The base class. */
struct breakpoint base;
...
}
and it is instantianted with "new watchpoint ()". When destroyed, a
destructor is first invoked through the breakpoint_ops, and then the
memory is freed by calling delete through a pointer to breakpoint.
Address sanitizer complains about this, for example, because we new and
delete the same memory using different types.
This patch takes the logical step of making breakpoint subclasses extend
the breakpoint class for real, and converts their destructors to actual
C++ destructors.
Regtested on the buildbot.

This patch changes various places to use ui_out_emit_tuple,
eliminating a number of cleanups. This patch only tackles "easy"
cases, which are ones where the cleanups in question were
block-structured and did not involve any changes other than the
obvious replacement.

As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

The previous patch introduced this error with recent-ish GCCs:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c: In function ‘int remote_add_target_side_condition(gdbarch*, bp_target_info*, char*, char*)’:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9668:8: error: types may not be defined in a for-range-declaration [-Werror]
for (struct agent_expr *aexpr : bp_tgt->conditions)
^~~~~~
Removing the struct keyword fixes the error.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_target_side_condition): Remove "struct"
keyword from range-based for loop.
Using a range based for loop makes this code a bit more clean and
readable.
The comment above is clearly erroneous, so I've updated it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_target_side_condition): Use range-based
for loop. Update comment.
This patch starts from the desire to eliminate
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete, but then goes beyond. It makes ui_file &
friends a real C++ class hierarchy, and switches temporary
ui_file-like objects to stack-based allocation.
- mem_fileopen -> string_file
mem_fileopen is replaced with a new string_file class that is treated
as a value class created on the stack. This alone eliminates most
make_cleanup_ui_file_delete calls, and, simplifies code a whole lot
(diffstat shows around 1k loc dropped.)
string_file's internal buffer is a std::string, thus the "string" in
the name. This simplifies the implementation much, compared to
mem_fileopen, which managed growing its internal buffer manually.
- ui_file_as_string, ui_file_strdup, ui_file_obsavestring all gone
The new string_file class has a string() method that provides direct
writable access to the internal std::string buffer. This replaced
ui_file_as_string, which forced a copy of the same data the stream had
inside. With direct access via a writable reference, we can instead
move the string out of the string_stream, avoiding deep string
copying.
Related, ui_file_xstrdup calls are replaced with xstrdup'ping the
stream's string, and ui_file_obsavestring is replaced by
obstack_copy0.
With all those out of the way, getting rid of the weird ui_file_put
mechanism was possible.
- New ui_file::printf, ui_file::puts, etc. methods
These simplify / clarify client code. I considered splitting
client-code changes, like these, e.g.:
- stb = mem_fileopen ();
- fprintf_unfiltered (stb, "%s%s%s",
- _("The valid values are:\n"),
- regdesc,
- _("The default is \"std\"."));
+ string_file stb;
+ stb.printf ("%s%s%s",
+ _("The valid values are:\n"),
+ regdesc,
+ _("The default is \"std\"."));
In two steps, with the first step leaving fprintf_unfiltered (etc.)
calls in place, and only afterwards do a pass to change all those to
call stb.printf etc.. I didn't do that split, because (when I tried),
it turned out to be pointless make-work: the first pass would have to
touch the fprintf_unfiltered line anyway, to replace "stb" with
"&stb".
- gdb_fopen replaced with stack-based objects
This avoids the need for cleanups or unique_ptr's. I.e., this:
struct ui_file *file = gdb_fopen (filename, "w");
if (filename == NULL)
perror_with_name (filename);
cleanups = make_cleanup_ui_file_delete (file);
// use file.
do_cleanups (cleanups);
is replaced with this:
stdio_file file;
if (!file.open (filename, "w"))
perror_with_name (filename);
// use file.
- odd contorsions in null_file_write / null_file_fputs around when to
call to_fputs / to_write eliminated.
- Global null_stream object
A few places that were allocating a ui_file in order to print to
"nowhere" are adjusted to instead refer to a new 'null_stream' global
stream.
- TUI's tui_sfileopen eliminated. TUI's ui_file much simplified
The TUI's ui_file was serving a dual purpose. It supported being used
as string buffer, and supported being backed by a stdio FILE. The
string buffer part is gone, replaced by using of string_file. The
'FILE *' support is now much simplified, by making the TUI's ui_file
inherit from stdio_file.

After the previous patch, we end up with these two types with quite
similar, and potentially confusing names:
typedef gdb::unique_ptr<agent_expr> agent_expr_up;
/* Pointer to an agent_expr structure. */
typedef struct agent_expr *agent_expr_p;
The latter is only necessary to put agent_expr pointers in VECs. So
just eliminate it and use std::vector instead.

This patch makes parse_expression and friends return a unique_ptr
instead of raw pointer [1]:
typedef gdb::unique_malloc_ptr<expression> expression_up;
and then adjusts the codebase throughout to stop using cleanups to
manage lifetime of expression pointers.
Whenever I found a structure owning an expression pointer, I made it
store a unique_ptr instead of a raw pointer, which then requires using
new/delete of the holding structure, instead of XNEW/xfree.
[1] - I'd like to set the rule that types named with an "_up" suffix
are unique_ptr typedefs.
Note I used gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr instead of gdb::unique_ptr, simply
because we still use xmalloc instead of new to allocate expression
objects. Once that's changed, all we need to do is change the
expression_up typedef and the smart pointer will then call delete
instead of xfree.

While investigating an unrelated issue in remote.c I noticed that the
bound checking for 'g' packets was bogus:
The previous code would only check that the first byte of the register
was within bounds before passing the buffer to regcache_raw_supply.
If it turned out that the register in the 'g' packet was incomplete
then regcache_raw_supply would proceed to memcpy out-of-bounds.
Since the buffer is allocated with alloca it's relatively unlikely to
crash (you just end up dumping gdb's stack into the cache) but it's
still a bit messy.
I changed this logic to check for truncated registers and raise an
error if one is encountered. Hopefully it should make debugging
remote stubs a bit easier.

2016-11-03 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* breakpoint.h (struct bp_target_info) <placed_size>: Remove.
<kind>: New field.
Update all users.
This patch adds two gdbarch methods breakpoint_kind_from_pc and
sw_breakpoint_from_kind, and uses target_info.placed_size as "kind"
of the breakpoint. This patch updates the usages of
target_info.placed_size.
The "kind" of a breakpoint is determined by gdbarch rather than
target, so we have gdbarch method breakpoint_kind_from_pc, and we
should set target_info.placed_size out of each implementation of
target to_insert_breakpoint. In this way, each target doesn't have
to set target_info.placed_size any more.
This patch also sets target_info.placed_address before
target_insert_breakpoint too, so that target to_insert_breakpoint
can use it, see record_full_insert_breakpoint.
Before we call target_insert_breakpoint, we set
target_info.placed_address and target_info.placed_size like this,
CORE_ADDR addr = bl->target_info.reqstd_address;
bl->target_info.placed_size = gdbarch_breakpoint_kind_from_pc (bl->gdbarch, &addr);
bl->target_info.placed_address = addr;
return target_insert_breakpoint (bl->gdbarch, &bl->target_info);
target_insert_breakpoint may fail, but it doesn't matter to the "kind"
and "placed_address" of a breakpoint. They should be determined by
gdbarch.

Currently, with "maint set target-non-stop on", that is, when gdb
connects with the non-stop/asynchronous variant of the remote
protocol, even with "set non-stop off", GDB always sends one vCont
packet per thread resumed. This patch makes GDB aggregate and
coalesce vCont packets, so we send vCont packets like "vCont;s:p1.1;c"
in non-stop mode too.
Basically, this is done by:
- Adding a new target method target_commit_resume that is called
after calling target_resume one or more times. When resuming a
batch of threads, we'll only call target_commit_resume once after
calling target_resume for all threads.
- Making the remote target defer sending the actual vCont packet to
target_commit_resume.
Special care must be taken to avoid sending a vCont action with a
"wildcard" thread-id (all threads of process / all threads) when that
would resume threads/processes that should not be resumed. See
remote_commit_resume comments for details.
Unlike all-stop's remote_resume implementation, this handles the case
of too many actions resulting in a too-big vCont packet, by flushing
the vCont packet and starting a new one.
E.g., imagining that the "c" action in:
vCont;s:1;c
overflows the packet buffer, we split the actions like:
vCont;s:1
vCont;c
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "maint set
target-non-stop on".
Also tested with a hack that makes remote_commit_resume flush the vCont
packet after every action appended (which caught a few bugs).

jit_breakpoint_re_set() is specific by trying to insert a breakpoint into the
main executable, not into a shared library. During attachment GDB thinks it
needs to use 'breakpoint always-inserted' from
breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now() as a newly attached thread is
'thread_info->executing' due to 'lwp_info->must_set_ptrace_flags' enabled and
the task not yet stopped. This did not happen before the 'bad commit' above
which adds tracking of such thread.
GDB then fails to insert the breakpoints to invalid address as PIE executable
gets properly relocated during later phase of attachment. One can see in the
backtraces below:
-> jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal()
later:
-> svr4_exec_displacement()
One can suppress the initial breakpoint_re_set() call as there will be another
breakpoint_re_set() done from the final post_create_inferior() call in
setup_inferior().
BTW additionally 'threads_executing' cache bool is somehow stale (somewhere is
missing update_threads_executing()). I was trying to deal with that in my
first/second attempt below but in my final third attempt (attached) I have
left it as it is.
First attempt trying not to falsely require 'breakpoint always-inserted':
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix1.patch
Reduced first attempt:
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix2.patch
The third attempt suppresses breakpoint insertion until PIE executable gets
relocated by svr4_exec_displacement(). Applied.

This patch consolidates the API of target_mourn_inferior between GDB
and gdbserver, in my continuing efforts to make sharing the
fork_inferior function possible between both.
GDB's version of the function did not care about the inferior's ptid
being mourned, but gdbserver's needed to know this information. Since
it actually makes sense to pass the ptid as an argument, instead of
depending on a global value directly (which GDB's version did), I
decided to make the generic API to accept it. I then went on and
extended all calls being made on GDB to include a ptid argument (which
ended up being inferior_ptid most of the times, anyway), and now we
have a more sane interface.
On GDB's side, after talking to Pedro a bit about it, we decided that
just an assertion to make sure that the ptid being passed is equal to
inferior_ptid would be enough for now, on the GDB side. We can remove
the assertion and perform more operations later if we ever pass
anything different than inferior_ptid.
Regression tested on our BuildBot, everything OK.
I'd appreciate a special look at gdb/windows-nat.c's modification
because I wasn't really sure what to do there. It seemed to me that
maybe I should build a ptid out of the process information there, but
then I am almost sure the assertion on GDB's side would trigger.

The problem is that the std::min/std::max function templates use the
same type for both parameters. When the argument types are different,
the compiler can't automatically deduce which template specialization
to pick from the arguments' types.

Some analysis we did here showed that increasing the cap on the
transfer size in target.c:memory_xfer_partial could give 20% or more
improvement in remote load across JTAG. Transfer sizes were capped
to 4K bytes because of performance problems encountered with the
restore command, documented here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00611.html
and in commit 67c059c29e ("Improve performance of large restore
commands").
The 4K cap was introduced because in a case where the restore command
requested a 100MB transfer, memory_xfer_partial would repeatedy
allocate and copy an entire 100MB buffer in order to properly handle
breakpoint shadow instructions, even though memory_xfer_partial would
actually only write a small portion of the buffer contents.
A couple of alternative solutions were suggested:
* change the algorithm for handling the breakpoint shadow instructions
* throttle the transfer size up or down based on the previous actual
transfer size
I tried implementing the throttling approach, and my implementation
reduced the performance in some cases.
This patch implements a new target function that returns that target's
limit on memory transfer size. It defaults to ULONGEST_MAX bytes,
because for native targets there is no marshaling and thus no limit is
needed. For remote targets it uses get_memory_write_packet_size.

Several targets have a copy of the same code that prints
"Detaching from program ..."
in their target_detach implementation. Factor that out to a common

(For now, I left the couple targets that print this a bit differently
alone. Maybe this could be further pulled out into infcmd.c. If we
did that, and those targets want to continue printing differently,
this new function could be converted to a target method.)

remote.c is the last user of immediate_quit. It's relied on to
immediately break the initial remote connection sync up, if the user
does Ctrl-C, assuming that was because the target isn't responding.
At that stage, since the connection isn't synced yet, disconnecting is
the only safe thing to do. This commit reworks that, to not rely on
throwing from the SIGINT signal handler.
So, this commit:
- Introduces the concept of a "quit handler". This is used to
override what does the QUIT macro do when the quit flag is set.
- Makes the "struct serial" reachar / write code call QUIT in the
partial read/write loops, so the current quit handler is invoked
whenever a serial->read_prim / serial->write_prim returns EINTR.
- Makes the "struct serial" reachar / write code call
interruptible_select instead of gdb_select, so that QUITs are
detected in a race-free manner.
- Stops remote.c from setting immediate_quit during the initial
connection.
- Instead, we install a custom quit handler whenever we're calling
into the serial code. This custom quit handler knows to immediately
throw a quit when we're in the initial connection setup, and
otherwise defer handling the quit/Ctrl-C request to later, when
we're safely out of a packet command/response sequence. This also
is what is now responsible for handling "double Ctrl-C because
target connection is stuck/wedged."
- remote.c no longer installs a specialized SIGINT handlers, and
instead re-uses the quit flag. Since we want to rely on the QUIT
macro, the SIGINT handler must also set the quit. And the easiest
is just to not install custom SIGINT handler in remote.c. Let the
standard SIGINT handler do its job of setting the quit flag.
Centralizing SIGINT handlers seems like a good thing to me, anyway.

If the user presses Ctrl-C immediately before target_terminal_inferior
is called and the target is resumed, instead of after, the Ctrl-C ends
up pending in the quit flag until the target next stops.
remote.c has this bit to handle this:
if (!target_is_async_p ())
{
ofunc = signal (SIGINT, sync_remote_interrupt);
/* If the user hit C-c before this packet, or between packets,
pretend that it was hit right here. */
if (check_quit_flag ())
sync_remote_interrupt (SIGINT);
}
But that's only reachable if async is off, while async is on by
default nowadays. It's also obviously not reacheable on native
targets.
This patch generalizes that to all targets.
We can't remove that remote.c bit yet, until we get rid of the sync
SIGINT handler though. That'll be done later in the series.

On powerpc64, qSymbol query may require gdb to read a function
descriptor, sending a vFile packet to gdbserver. Thus, we need
to handle 'v' packet in look_up_one_symbol.
vFile replies may be quite long, and require reallocating own_buf.
Since handle_v_requests assumes the buffer is the static global own_buf
from server.c and reallocates it, we need to make own_buf global and
use it from look_up_one_symbol instead of using our own auto variable.
I've also done the same change in relocate_instruction, just in case.
On gdb side, in remote_check_symbols, rs->buf may be clobbered by vFile
handling, yet we need its contents for the reply (the symbol name is
stored there). Allocate a new buffer instead.
This broke fast tracepoints on powerpc64, due to errors in reading IPA
symbols.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_check_symbols): Allocate own buffer for reply.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* remote-utils.c (look_up_one_symbol): Remove own_buf, handle 'v'
packets.

This patch addresses a failure in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:
FAIL: gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp: cond_bp_target=1:
detach_on_fork=on: inferior 1 exited (timeout)
Cause:
A fork event was reported to GDB before GDB knew about the parent
thread, followed immediately by a breakpoint event in a different
thread. The parent thread was subsequently added via
remote_notice_new_inferior in process_stop_reply, but when the thread
was added the thread_info.state was set to THREAD_STOPPED. The fork
event was then handled correctly, but when the fork parent was resumed
via a call to keep_going, the state was unchanged.
The breakpoint event was then handled, which caused all the
non-breakpoint threads to be stopped. When the breakpoint thread was
resumed, all the non-breakpoint threads were resumed via
infrun.c:restart_threads. Our old fork parent wasn't restarted,
because it still had thread_info.state set to THREAD_STOPPED.
Ultimately the program under debug hung waiting for a pthread_join
while the old fork parent was stopped forever by GDB.
Fix:
Since this is non-stop, then the bug is that the thread should have
been added in THREAD_RUNNING state. Consider that infrun may be
pulling target events out of the target_ops backend into its own event
queue, but, not process them immediately. E.g., infrun may be
stopping all threads temporarily for a step-over-breakpoint operation
for thread A (stop_all_threads). The waitstatus of all threads is
thus left pending in the thread structure (save_status), including the
fork event of thread B. Right at this point, if the user does "info
threads", that should show thread B (the fork parent) running, not
stopped, even if internally, gdb is holding it paused for a little
bit.
Thus if in non-stop mode, always add new threads in the external
user-visible THREAD_RUNNING state. Change remote_notice_new_inferior
to accept the internal executing state of the thread instead, with
EXECUTING set to 1 when we discover a thread that is running on the
target (such as through remote_update_thread_list), and 0 when the
thread is really paused (such as when we see a stop reply).
Tested on x86_64 Linux and Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.

This patch fixes an internal error that occurs in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:
/blah/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:2723: internal-error: Can't determine the
current address space of thread Thread 3170.3170
In default_thread_address_space, find_inferior_ptid couldn't find 3170.3170
because it had been overwritten in inferior_appeared, called as follows:
inferior_appeared
remote_add_inferior
remote_notice_new_inferior
remote_update_thread_list
The cause of the problem was the following sequence of events:
* GDB knows only about the main thread
* the first fork event is reported to GDB, saved as pending_event
* qXfer:threads:read gets the threads from the remote.
remove_new_fork_children id's the fork child from the pending event
and removes it from the list reported to GDB. All the rest of the
threads, including the fork parent, are added to the GDB thread list.
* GDB stops all the threads. All the stop events are pushed onto the
stop reply queue behind the pending fork event. The fork waitstatus
is saved in the fork parent thread's pending status field
thread_info.suspend.
* remote_wait_ns calls queued_stop_reply and process_stop_reply to
remove the fork event from the front of the stop reply queue and save
event information in the thread_info structure for the fork parent
thread. Unfortunately, none of the information saved in this way is
the fork-specific information.
* A subsequent qXfer:threads:read packet gets the thread list including
the fork parent and fork child. remove_new_fork_children checks the
thread list to see if there is a fork parent, doesn't find one, checks
the stop reply queue for a pending fork event, doesn't find one, and
allows the fork child thread to be reported to GDB before the fork
event has been handled. remote_update_thread_list calls
remote_notice_new_thread and overwrites the current (main) thread in
inferior_appeared.
So the fork event has been reported out of target_wait but it was left
pending on the infrun side (infrun.c:save_waitstatus). IOW, the fork
event hasn't been processed by handle_inferior_event yet, so it hasn't
made it to tp->pending_follow yet.
The fix is to check thread_info.suspend along with the
thread_info.pending_follow in remote.c:remove_new_fork_children, to
prevent premature reporting of the fork child thread creation.

however, we did set rs->waiting_for_stop_reply to zero before Luis's
patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-10/msg00336.html
In fact, Luis's patch v1
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00809.html is about
setting rs->waiting_for_stop_reply back to one after
remote_fileio_request, which is correct. However during the review, the
patch is changed and ends up with "not setting rs->waiting_for_stop_reply
to zero".
I manually test GDB, but I don't have a way to run regression tests.

For a forthcoming patch, I need a "skip_to_colon" function. I noticed
there are two skip_to_semicolon (one in gdb and one in gdbserver). I
thought we could put it in common/, and generalize it for any character.
It turns out that the strchrnul function does exactly that. I imported
the corresponding module from gnulib, for those systems that do not have
it.
There are probably more places where this function can be used instead
of doing the work by hand (I am looking at
remote-utils.c::look_up_one_symbol).

This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 6022 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame

1.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
1.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)
2.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1700 (LWP 6037) "threads" (running)
2.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6038) "threads" (running)
* 2.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6039) "threads" (running)
(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

This patch implements support for fork and exec events with target remote
mode Linux targets. For such targets with Linux kernels 2.5.46 and later,
this enables follow-fork-mode, detach-on-fork and fork and exec
catchpoints.
The changes required to implement this included:
* Don't exit from gdbserver if there are still active inferiors.
* Allow changing the active process in remote mode.
* Enable fork and exec events in remote mode.
* Print "Ending remote debugging" only when disconnecting.
* Combine remote_kill and extended_remote_kill into a single function
that can handle the multiple inferior case for target remote. Also,
the same thing for remote_mourn and extended_remote_mourn.
* Enable process-style ptids in target remote.
* Remove restriction on multiprocess mode in target remote.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

remote mode.
(remote_query_supported): Likewise.
(remote_detach_1): Exit in target remote mode only when there
is just one live inferior left.
(remote_disconnect): Unpush the target directly instead of
calling remote_mourn.

remote mode.
GCC 4.1 gives the following warning:

gdb/remote.c:6549: warning: operation on 'p' may be undefined
on this line of code:

* remote.c (remote_newthread_step): Initialize item.name.
(remote_get_threads_with_qthreadinfo): Likewise.
Testing with "maint set target-non-stop on" causes regressions in
tests that rely on TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which isn't modelled on
the RSP. In real all-stop, gdbserver detects the situation and
reporst error to GDB, and so the tests (e.g.,
gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp) at fail quickly. But with
"maint set target-non-stop on", GDB instead hangs forever waiting for
a stop reply that never comes, and so the tests take longer to time
out.
This adds a new "N" stop reply packet that maps 1-1 to
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED.

* gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: Remove setup_kfail calls.
When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

There's currently no non-stop equivalent of the all-stop ^C (\003)
"packet" that GDB sends when a ctrl-c is pressed while a foreground
command is active. There's vCont;t, but that's defined to cause a
"signal 0" stop.
This fixes many tests that type ^C, when testing with extended-remote
with "maint set target-non-stop on". E.g.:

Running local-watch-wrong-thread.exp with "maint set target-non-stop
on" exposes that gdb/remote.c only records whether the target stopped
for a breakpoint/watchpoint plus the watchpoint data address *for the
last reported remote event*. But in non-stop mode, we need to keep
that info per-thread, as each thread can end up with its own
last-status pending.

This is the first pass at implementing support for all-stop mode
running against the remote target using the non-stop variant of the
protocol.
The trickiest part here is the initial connection setup/synching. We
need to fetch all inferiors' target descriptions etc. before stopping
threads, because stop_all_threads needs to read the threads' registers
(to record each thread's stop_pc). But OTOH, the initial inferior
setup (target_post_attach, post_create_inferior, etc.), only works
correctly if the inferior is stopped... So I've split that initial
setup part from attach_command_post_wait to a separate function, and
added a "still needs setup" flag to the inferior structure. This is
similar to gdbserver/linux-low.c's handling of discovering the
process's target description). Then if on connection all threads of
the remote inferior are running, when we go about stopping them, as
soon as they stop we call setup_inferior, from within
stop_all_threads.
Also, in all-stop, we need to process all the initial stop replies to
learn about all the pending signal the threads may already be stopped
for, and pick the one to report as current. This is exposed by
gdb.threads/reconnect-signal.exp.

gdbserver's target_process_qsupported is called for each feature that
the gdbserver common code does not recognize. The only current
implementation, for x86 Linux, does this:
static void
x86_linux_process_qsupported (const char *query)
{
/* Return if gdb doesn't support XML. If gdb sends "xmlRegisters="
with "i386" in qSupported query, it supports x86 XML target
descriptions. */
use_xml = 0;
if (query != NULL && startswith (query, "xmlRegisters="))
{
char *copy = xstrdup (query + 13);
char *p;
for (p = strtok (copy, ","); p != NULL; p = strtok (NULL, ","))
{
if (strcmp (p, "i386") == 0)
{
use_xml = 1;
break;
}
}
free (copy);
}
x86_linux_update_xmltarget ();
}
Notice that this clears use_xml and calls x86_linux_update_xmltarget
each time target_process_qsupported is called. So if gdb sends in any
unknown feature after "xmlRegisters=i386", like e.g.,
"xmlRegisters=i386;UnknownFeature+" gdbserver ends up not reporting a
XML description...
Work around this by having GDB send the "xmlRegisters=" feature last.

Nowadays, GDB only knows whether architecture supports hardware single
step or software single step (through gdbarch hook software_single_step),
and for a given instruction or instruction sequence, GDB knows how to
do single step (hardware or software). However, GDB doesn't know whether
the target supports hardware single step. It is possible that the
architecture doesn't support hardware single step, such as arm, but
the target supports, such as simulator. This was discussed in this
thread https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-12/msg00033.html before.
I encounter this problem for aarch64 multi-arch support. When aarch64
debugs arm program, gdbarch is arm, so software single step is still
used. However, the underneath linux kernel does support hardware
single step, so IWBN to use it.
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook to_can_do_single_step, and
only use it in arm_linux_software_single_step to decide whether or not
to use hardware single step. On the native aarch64 linux target, 1 is
returned. On other targets, -1 is returned. On the remote target, if
the target supports s and S actions in the vCont? reply, then target
can do single step. However, old GDBserver will send s and S in the
reply to vCont?, which will confuse new GDB. For example, old GDBserver
on arm-linux will send s and S in the reply to vCont?, but it doesn't
support hardware single step. On the other hand, new GDBserver, on
arm-linux for example, will not send s and S in the reply to vCont?,
but old GDB thinks it doesn't support vCont packet at all. In order
to address this problem, I add a new qSupported feature vContSupported,
which indicates GDB wants to know the supported actions in the reply
to vCont?, and qSupported response contains vContSupported if the
stub is able tell supported vCont actions in the reply of vCont?.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
then, GDB knows the stub can do single step, and may stop using software
single step even the architecture doesn't support hardware single step.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on arm, the last vCont?
reply will become:
<- vCont;c;C;t
GDB thinks the target doesn't support single step, so it will use software
single step.
If the patched GDB talks with unpatched GDBserver, the RSP traffic is like
this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
although GDBserver returns s and S, GDB still thinks GDBserver may not
support single step because it doesn't support vContSupported.
If the unpatched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like:
-> $qSupported:...+;
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
Since GDB doesn't sent vContSupported in the qSupported feature, GDBserver
sends s and S regardless of the support of hardware single step.

This patch implements exec catchpoints for extended-remote Linux
targets. The implementation follows the same approach used for

extended-remote exec events takes care of the rest.

This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

This adds an object oriented replacement for the "struct continuation"
mechanism, and converts the stepping commands (step, next, stepi,
nexti) and the "finish" commands to use it.
It adds a new thread "class" (struct thread_fsm) that contains the
necessary info and callbacks to manage the state machine of a thread's
execution command.
This allows getting rid of some hacks. E.g., in fetch_inferior_event
and normal_stop we no longer need to know whether a thread is doing a
multi-step (e.g., step N). This effectively makes the
intermediate_continuations unused -- they'll be garbage collected in a
separate patch. (They were never a proper abstraction, IMO. See how
fetch_inferior_event needs to check step_multi before knowing whether
to call INF_EXEC_CONTINUE or INF_EXEC_COMPLETE.)
The target async vs !async uiout hacks in mi_on_normal_stop go away
too.
print_stop_event is no longer called from normal_stop. Instead it is
now called from within each interpreter's normal_stop observer. This
clears the path to make each interpreter print a stop event the way it
sees fit. Currently we have some hacks in common code to
differenciate CLI vs TUI vs MI around this area.
The "finish" command's FSM class stores the return value plus that
value's position in the value history, so that those can be printed to
both MI and CLI's streams. This fixes the CLI "finish" command when
run from MI -- it now also includes the function's return value in the
CLI stream:

This patch fixes a segmentation fault in native GDB when

In follow_exec we were creating a new inferior for the execd program,
as required by the exec mode, but we were doing it before calling
exit_inferior_num_silent on the original inferior. So on entry to
exit_inferior_num_silent we had two inferiors with the same ptid.
In the calls made by exit_inferior_num_silent, the current inferior
is temporarily saved and replaced in order to make use of functions
that only operate on the current inferior (for example, in
do_all_continuations, called while deleting the threads of the original
inferior). When we restored the original inferior, we just took the
first inferior that matched the ptid of the original and got the new
(wrong) one. It hadn't been initialized yet and had no gdbarch
pointer, and GDB segfaulted.
The fix for that is to call exit_inferior_num_silent before adding the new
inferior, so that we never have two inferiors with the same ptid. Then
exit_inferior_num_silent uses the original inferior as the current inferior
throughout, and can find a valid gdbarch pointer.
Once we have finished with the exit of the old inferior and added the
new one, we need to create a new thread for the new inferior. In the
function that called follow_exec, handle_inferior_event_1,
ecs->event_thread now points to the thread that was deleted with the
exit of the original inferior. To remedy this we create the new thread,
and once we return from follow_exec we reset ecs->event_thread.
Note that we are guaranteed that we can reset ecs->event_thread
safely using inferior_thread because we have set the current
inferior in follow_exec, and inferior_ptid was set by the call
to context_switch at the beginning of exec event handling.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (follow_exec): Re-order operations for
handling follow-exec-mode "new".
(handle_inferior_event_1): Assign ecs->event_thread
to the current thread.
* remote.c (get_remote_arch_state): Add an assertion.
Currently, when remote debugging, if you type Ctrl-C just while the
target stopped for an internal event, and GDB is busy doing something
that takes a while (e.g., fetching chunks of a shared library off of
the target, with vFile, to process ELF headers and debug info), the
Ctrl-C is lost.
The patch hooks up the QUIT macro to a new target method that lets the
target react to the double-Ctrl-C before the event loop is reached,
which allows reacting to a double-Ctrl-C even when GDB is busy doing
some long operation and not waiting for a stop reply. That end result
is:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
Interrupted while waiting for the program.
Give up waiting? (y or n) y
Quit
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 11673 0x00007ffff7deb240 in _dl_debug_state () from target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb)
If, however, GDB is waiting for a stop reply (because the target has
been resumed, with e.g., vCont;c), but the target isn't responding, we
now get:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
^C
^C
The target is not responding to interrupt requests.
Stop debugging it? (y or n) y
Disconnected from target.
(gdb) info threads
No threads.
This offers to disconnect, because when we're waiting for a stop
reply, there's nothing else we can send the target other than an
interrupt request. And if that doesn't work, there's nothing else we
can do.
The Ctrl-C is presently lost because until we get to a user-visible
stop, the SIGINT handler that is installed is the one that forwards
the interrupt to the remote side, with the \003 "packet" [1]. But,
gdbserver ignores an interrupt request if the program is stopped.
Still, even if it didn't, the server can only report back a
stop-because-of-SIGINT when the program is next resumed. And it may
take a while to actually re-resume the target.
[1] - In the old sync days, the remote target would react to a
double-Ctrl-C by asking users whether they wanted to give up waiting
and disconnect. The code is still there, but it it isn't reacheable
on most hosts, which support serial connections in async mode
(probably only DJGPP doesn't). Even then, in sync mode, remote.c's
SIGINT handler is only installed while the target is resumed, and is
removed as soon as the target sends back a stop reply. That means
that a Ctrl-C just while GDB is processing an internal event can end
up with an odd "Quit" at the prompt instead of "Program stopped by
SIGINT". In contrast, in async mode, remote.c's SIGINT handler is set
up as long as target_terminal_inferior or
target_terminal_ours_for_output are in effect (IOW, until we get a
user-visible stop and call target_terminal_ours), so the user
shouldn't get back a spurious Quit. However, it's still desirable to
be able to interrupt a long-running GDB operation, if GDB takes a
while to re-resume the target or get back to the event loop.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

After the last gnulib import (Dec 2012), gnulib upstream started
replacing mingw's 'struct timeval' with a version with 64-bit time_t,
for POSIX compliance:
commit f8e84098084b3b53bc6943a5542af1f607ffd477
Author: Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
Date: Sat Jan 28 18:12:10 2012 +0100
sys_time: Override 'struct timeval' on some native Windows platforms.
See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00372.html
However, that results in conflicts with native Winsock2's 'select':
select()'s argument
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/29610438/
... and libiberty's timeval-utils.h timeval_add/timeval_sub, at the
least.
We don't really need the POSIX compliance, so this patch prepares us
to simply not use gnulib's 'struct timeval' replacement once a more
recent gnulib is imported, thus preserving the current behavior, by
adding a sys/time.h wrapper header that undefs gnulib's replacements,
and including that everywhere instead.
The SIZE -> OSIZE change is necessary because newer gnulib's
sys/time.h also includes windows.h/winsock2.h, which defines a
conflicting SIZE symbol.

This patch almost halves the time it takes to "target remote + run to

E.g., I've got a ping time of ~85ms to an x86-64 machine on the gcc
compile farm (almost 2000km away from me), and I'm behind a ~16Mbit
ADSL. When I connect to a gdbserver debugging itself on that machine
and run to main, it takes almost 55 seconds:

The main motivation for this is making non-stop / all-stop behave
similarly on initial connection, in order to move in the direction of
reimplementing all-stop mode with the remote target always running in
non-stop mode.
When we connect to a remote target in non-stop mode, we may find
threads either running or already stopped. The act of connecting
itself does not force threads to stop. To handle that, the remote
non-stop connection is currently roughly like this:
#1 - Fetch list of remote threads (qXfer:threads:read, qfThreadInfo,
etc). All threads are assumed to be running until the target
reports an asynchronous stop reply for them.
#2 - Fetch the initial set of threads that were already stopped, with
the '?' packet. (In non-stop, this is coupled with the vStopped
mechanism to be able to retrieve the status of more than one
thread.)
The stop replies fetched in #2 are placed in the pending stop reply
queue, and left for the regular event loop to process. That is,
"target remote" finishes and returns _before_ those stops are
processed.
That means that it's possible to have GDB process further commands
before the initial set of stopped threads is reported to the user.
E.g., before the patch, note how the prompt is printed before the
frame:
Remote debugging using :9999
(gdb)
[Thread 15296] #1 stopped.
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
Even though thread #1 was not running, for a moment, the user can see
it as such:
$ gdb a.out -ex "set non-stop 1" -ex "tar rem :9999" -ex "info threads" -ex "info registers"
Remote debugging using :9999
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 4772 (running)
Target is executing. <<<<<<< info registers
(gdb)
[Thread 4772] #1 stopped.
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
To fix that, this commit makes gdb process all threads found already
stopped at connection time, before giving the prompt to the user.
The fix takes a cue from fork-child.c:startup_inferior [1], and
processes the events locally in remote.c, avoiding the whole
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event path. I decided to try this
approach after noticing that:
- several cases in handle_inferior_event miss checking stop_soon.
- we don't want to fetch the thread list in normal_stop.
and trying to fix them was resulting in sprinkling stop_soon checks in
many places, and uglifying normal_stop even more.
While with this patch, I'm avoiding changing GDB's output other than
when the prompt is printed, I think this approach is more flexible if
we do want to change it. And also, it's likely easier to get rid of
the MI *running event that is still sent for threads that are
initially found stopped, if we want to.
This happens to fix the testsuite too. All non-stop tests are racy
against "target remote" / gdbserver testing currently. That is,
sometimes the tests run, but other times they're just skipped without
any indication of PASS/FAIL. When that happens, the logs show:
target remote localhost:2346

regex in question doesn't expect that:

[1] - before startup_inferior was added, we'd go through
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event while going through the shell,
and that turned out problematic.

This patch converts the code base to use the new struct event_location
API being introduced. This patch preserves the current functionality and
adds no new features.
The "big picture" API usage introduced by this patch may be illustrated
with a simple exmaple. Where previously developers would write:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
create_breakpoint (..., arg, ...);
...
}
one now uses:
void
my_command (char *arg, int from_tty)
{
struct event_locaiton *location;
struct cleanup *back_to;
location = string_to_event_locaiton (&arg, ...);
back_to = make_cleanup_delete_event_location (location);
create_breakpoint (..., location, ...);
do_cleanups (back_to);
}
Linespec-decoding functions (now called location-decoding) such as
decode_line_full no longer skip argument pointers over processed input.
That functionality has been moved into string_to_event_location as
demonstrated above.

That is, we get "[$thread] #1 stopped" instead of SIGINT.
The issue is that we don't currently distinguish send
"interrupt/ctrl-c" to target terminal vs "stop/pause" thread well;
both cases go through "target_stop".
And then, the native Linux backend (linux-nat.c) implements
target_stop with SIGSTOP in non-stop mode, and SIGINT in all-stop
mode. Since "maint set target-non-stop on" forces the backend to be
always running in non-stop mode, even though the user-visible behavior
is "set non-stop" is "off", "interrupt" causes a SIGSTOP instead of
the SIGINT the test expects.
Fix this by introducing a target_interrupt method to use in the
"interrupt/ctrl-c" case, so "set non-stop off" can always work the
same irrespective of "maint set target-non-stop on/off". I'm
explictly considering changing the "set non-stop on" behavior as out
of scope here.
Most of the patch is an across-the-board rename of to_stop hook
implementations to to_interrupt. The only targets where something
more than a rename is being done are linux-nat.c and remote.c, which
are the only targets that support async, and thus are the only ones
the core side calls target_stop on.

Even though "target remote" supports target-async, the all-stop
target_wait implementation ignores TARGET_WNOHANG. If the core
happens to poll for events and we've already read the stop reply out
of the serial/socket, remote_wait_as hangs forever instead of
returning an indication that there are no events to process. This
can't happen currently, but later changes will trigger this.

This patch removes the isize output argument from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at gdbarch hook. It was used to return the size
of the instruction that needs to be replaced when installing a fast
tracepoint. Instead of getting this value from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at hook, we can call the gdb_insn_length function.
If we do not do this, then architectures which do not have a restriction
on where to install the fast tracepoint will send uninitialized memory
off to GDBserver. See remote_download_tracepoint:
~~~
int isize;
if (gdbarch_fast_tracepoint_valid_at (target_gdbarch (),
tpaddr, &isize, NULL))
xsnprintf (buf + strlen (buf), BUF_SIZE - strlen (buf), ":F%x",
isize);
~~~
The default implementation of fast_tracepoint_valid_at will not set
isize resulting in uninitialized memory being sent. Later on, GDBserver
could use this information to compute a jump offset.

When using GDB to debug an RX target using the GDB remote protocol,
using a Renesas supplied debug agent, I encountered the following
assertion error:
thread.c:85: internal-error: inferior_thread: Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) n
Command aborted.
This assertion error occurs due to the fact that the value associated
with inferior_ptid is not on the thread list.
The remote debug output (obtained with "set debug remote 1") is fairly
short, so I will include it up to the point where things go wrong -
which is somewhat before the assertion failure:

Above is the trace starting from the invocation of "target remote"
through the call of get_current_thread() in remote_start_remote().
Below, I've pasted this line of code along with additional lines of
context. The test following the call is especially important to
understanding both the problem and my patch.
/* We have thread information; select the thread the target
says should be current. If we're reconnecting to a
multi-threaded program, this will ideally be the thread
that last reported an event before GDB disconnected. */
inferior_ptid = get_current_thread (wait_status);
if (ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
{
/* Odd... The target was able to list threads, but not
tell us which thread was current (no "thread"
register in T stop reply?). Just pick the first
thread in the thread list then. */
inferior_ptid = thread_list->ptid;
}
}
Prior to getting to the code pasted above, remote_start_remote()
made a call to target_update_thread_list(). This corresponds to the
following lines from the above trace:
Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: m1
Sending packet: $qsThreadInfo#c8...Packet received: l
Sending packet: $qAttached:a410#bf...Packet received: 0
Packet qAttached (query-attached) is supported
Once target_update_thread_list has completed, the thread list
contains a single entry: {pid = 42000, lwp = 1, tid = 0}.
remote_start_remote() then makes a call to set_continue_thread(),
accounting for this line of the trace:
Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received: OK
Finally, the call to get_current_thread() is responsible for the last
line of the trace that I provided above:
Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
get_current_thread() calls stop_reply_extract_thread() with the wait
status. This returns null_ptid.
get_current_thread() then calls remote_current_thread with a null
inferior_ptid. After the calls to putpkt() and getpkt(), rs->buf[0]
is 'Q', so read_ptid() is called and its result is returned.
The buffer passed to read_ptid() is " not supported". read_ptid ultimately
returns a ptid of {pid = 4200, lwp = 0, tid = 0}.
However, this thread is not on the thread list. As noted earlier, the
call to target_update_thread_list() had placed {pid = 42000, lwp = 1,
tid = 0} on the list. This is the only thread in the list.
When these calls ultimately return to remote_start_remote(),
inferior_ptid gets set to {pid = 4200, lwp = 0, tid = 0}, which
(again) is not on the thread list.
It appears to me that the string " not supported" is coming from the
debug agent. If so, it should be fixed, but I don't see a reason to
not consult the thread list in order to place a valid thread id in
inferior_ptid.
This (consultation of the thread list) is what is done when
inferior_ptid is null_ptid:
if (ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
{
/* Odd... The target was able to list threads, but not
tell us which thread was current (no "thread"
register in T stop reply?). Just pick the first
thread in the thread list then. */
inferior_ptid = thread_list->ptid;
}
My patch causes a null inferior_ptid to be returned by read_ptid when
no thread id is found in the response from the debug agent. This
return value ends up being returned by remote_current_thread() and
then by get_current_thread. The assignment then places this null
value into inferior_ptid. That, in turn, allows the ptid_equal test
(noted above) to fetch a valid thread from the thread list. I no
longer see the assertion failure due a good value (which is on the
thread list) being placed in inferior_ptid.
This patch also adds two log warnings that may be output when "set
debug remote 1" is used. When running against the Renesas debug agent
mentioned earlier, this is the relevant portion of the log output:
Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
warning: garbage in qC reply
warning: couldn't determine remote current thread; picking first in list.

This patch initialises local variable ptid to null in get_current_thread.
We don't need to initialise ptid in add_current_inferior_and_thread,
so this patch also removes the ptid initialisation.

Valgrind GDB (vgdb) presents itself as a remote target but works on
the local filesystem. gdb_bfd_open contained a special case to make
vgdb work with "target:" sysroots, but the implementation meant that
GDB would fall back to the local filesystem if *any* to_fileio_open
method failed with ENOSYS for *any* reason. This commit moves the
vgdb special case to remote_filesystem_is_local to allow the fallback
to be restricted only to the specific case that remote file transfer
is unsupported. This commit also adds a warning which is displayed
the first time the fallback is used.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb_bfd.c (gdb_bfd_open): Move vgdb special case to...
* remote.c (remote_filesystem_is_local): ...here.
This patch implements catchpoints for fork events on extended-remote
Linux targets.
Implementation appeared to be straightforward, requiring four new functions
in remote.c to implement insert/remove of fork/vfork catchpoints. These
functions are essentially stubs that just return 0 ('success') if the
required features are enabled. If the fork events are being reported, then
catchpoints are set and hit.
However, there are some extra issues that arise with catchpoints.
1) Thread creation reporting -- fork catchpoints are hit before the
follow_fork has been completed. When stopped at a fork catchpoint
in the native implementation, the new process is not 'reported'
until after the follow is done. It doesn't show up in the inferiors
list or the threads list. However, in the gdbserver case, an
'info threads' while stopped at a fork catchpoint will retrieve the
new thread info from the target and add it to GDB's data structures,
prior to the follow operations. Because of this premature report,
things on the GDB side eventually get very confused.
So in remote.c:remote_update_thread_list, we check to see if there
are any pending fork parent threads. If there are we remove the
related fork child thread from the thread list sent by the target.
2) Kill process before fork is followed -- on the native side in
linux-nat.c:linux_nat_kill, there is some code to handle the case where
a fork has occurred but follow_fork hasn't been called yet. It does
this by using the last status to determine if a follow is pending, and
if it is, to kill the child task. The use of last_status is fragile
in situations like non-stop mode where other events may have occurred
after the fork event. This patch identifies a fork parent
in remote.c:extended_remote_kill in a way similar to that used in
thread creation reporting above. If one is found, it kills the new
child as well.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote. Tested the
case of killing the forking process before the fork has been followed
manually.

This patch implements follow-fork for vfork on extended-remote Linux targets.
The implementation follows the native implementation as much as possible.
Most of the work is done on the GDB side in the existing code now in
infrun.c. GDBserver just has to report the events and do a little
bookkeeping.
Implementation includes:
* enabling VFORK events by adding ptrace options for VFORK and VFORK_DONE
to linux-low.c:linux_low_ptrace_options.
* handling VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
and reporting them to GDB.
* including VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in the predicate
linux-low.c:extended_event_reported.
* adding support for VFORK and VFORK_DONE events in RSP by adding stop
reasons "vfork" and "vforkdone" to the 'T' Stop Reply Packet in both
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and gdb/remote.c.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Handle PTRACE_EVENT_FORK and
PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK_DONE.
(linux_low_ptrace_options, extended_event_reported): Add vfork
events.
* remote-utils.c (prepare_resume_reply): New stop reasons "vfork"
and "vforkdone" for RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet.
* server.h (report_vfork_events): Declare
global variable.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remove_vfork_event_p): New function.
(remote_follow_fork): Add vfork event type to event checking.
(remote_parse_stop_reply): New stop reasons "vfork" and
"vforkdone" for RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet.
This patch implements basic support for follow-fork and detach-on-fork on
extended-remote Linux targets. Only 'fork' is supported in this patch;
'vfork' support is added n a subsequent patch. This patch depends on
the previous patches in the patch series.
Sufficient extended-remote functionality has been implemented here to pass
gdb.base/multi-forks.exp, as well as gdb.base/foll-fork.exp with the
catchpoint tests commented out. Some other fork tests fail with this
patch because it doesn't provide the architecture support needed for
watchpoint inheritance or fork catchpoints.
The implementation follows the same general structure as for the native
implementation as much as possible.
This implementation includes:
* enabling fork events in linux-low.c in initialize_low and
linux_enable_extended_features
* handling fork events in gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
- when a fork event occurs in gdbserver, we must do the full creation
of the new process, thread, lwp, and breakpoint lists. This is
required whether or not the new child is destined to be
detached-on-fork, because GDB will make target calls that require all
the structures. In particular we need the breakpoint lists in order
to remove the breakpoints from a detaching child. If we are not
detaching the child we will need all these structures anyway.
- as part of this event handling we store the target_waitstatus in a new
member of the parent lwp_info structure, 'waitstatus'. This
is used to store extended event information for reporting to GDB.
- handle_extended_wait is given a return value, denoting whether the
handled event should be reported to GDB. Previously it had only
handled clone events, which were never reported.
* using a new predicate in gdbserver to control handling of the fork event
(and eventually all extended events) in linux_wait_1. The predicate,
extended_event_reported, checks a target_waitstatus.kind for an
extended ptrace event.
* implementing a new RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet stop reason: "fork", in
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and remote.c.
* implementing new target and RSP support for target_follow_fork with
target extended-remote. (The RSP components were actually defined in
patch 1, but they see their first use here).
- remote target routine remote_follow_fork, which just sends the 'D;pid'
detach packet to detach the new fork child cleanly. We can't just
call target_detach because the data structures for the forked child
have not been allocated on the host side.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.

This patch implements a mechanism for GDB to determine whether fork
events are supported in gdbserver. This is a preparatory patch for
remote fork and exec event support.
Two new RSP packets are defined to represent fork and vfork event
support. These packets are used just like PACKET_multiprocess_feature
to denote whether the corresponding event is supported. GDB sends
fork-events+ and vfork-events+ to gdbserver to inquire about fork
event support. If the response enables these packets, then GDB
knows that gdbserver supports the corresponding events and will
enable them.
Target functions used to query for support are included along with
each new packet.
In order for gdbserver to know whether the events are supported at the
point where the qSupported packet arrives, the code in nat/linux-ptrace.c
had to be reorganized. Previously it would test for fork/exec event
support, then enable the events using the pid of the inferior. When the
qSupported packet arrives there may not be an inferior. So the mechanism
was split into two parts: a function that checks whether the events are
supported, called when gdbserver starts up, and another that enables the
events when the inferior stops for the first time.
Another gdbserver change was to add some global variables similar to
multi_process, one per new packet. These are used to control whether
the corresponding fork events are enabled. If GDB does not inquire
about the event support in the qSupported packet, then gdbserver will
not set these "report the event" flags. If the flags are not set, the
events are ignored like they were in the past. Thus, gdbserver will
never send fork event notification to an older GDB that doesn't
recognize fork events.
Tested on Ubuntu x64, native/remote/extended-remote, and as part of
subsequent patches in the series.

This commit allows GDB to determine filenames of main executables
when debugging using remote stubs without multiprocess extensions.
The qXfer:exec-file:read packet is extended to allow an empty
annex, with the meaning that the remote stub should supply the
filename of whatever it thinks is the current process.

This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately.
With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.
bash$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...
One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
the main executable if no main executable is open already.
All callers updated.
* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

GDB can access program files from remote targets that support
qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing
the main executable over the remote protocol.
This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote
protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that
was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for
this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is
implemented using it.

On GNU/Linux, if the running kernel supports clone events, then
linux-thread-db.c defers thread listing to the target beneath:
static void
thread_db_update_thread_list (struct target_ops *ops)
{
...
if (target_has_execution && !thread_db_use_events ())
ops->beneath->to_update_thread_list (ops->beneath);
else
thread_db_update_thread_list_td_ta_thr_iter (ops);
...
}
However, when live debugging, the target beneath, linux-nat.c, does
not implement the to_update_thread_list method. The result is that if
a thread is marked exited (because it can't be deleted right now,
e.g., it was the selected thread), then it won't ever be deleted,
until the process exits or is killed/detached.
A similar thing happens with the remote.c target. Because its
target_update_thread_list implementation skips exited threads when it
walks the current thread list looking for threads that no longer exits
on the target side, using ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, stale exited
threads are never deleted.
This is not a big deal -- I can't think of any way this might be user
visible, other than gdb's memory growing a tiny bit whenever a thread
gets stuck in exited state. Still, might as well clean things up
properly.
All other targets use prune_threads, so are unaffected.
The fix adds a ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro, that like
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, walks the thread list and allows deleting
the iterated thread, and uses that in places that are walking the
thread list in order to delete threads. Actually, after converting
linux-nat.c and remote.c to use this, we find the only other user of
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE is also walking the list to delete
threads. So we convert that too, and end up deleting
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
