exception_print and exception_fprintf call print_flush, which does all the
same flushing and annotation things that print_any_exception does, and more.

The "call" and "print" commands presently always run synchronously, in
the foreground, but GDB currently forgets to put the inferior's
terminal settings into effect while running them, on async-capable
targets, resulting in:
(gdb) print func ()
hello world
Program received signal SIGTTOU, Stopped (tty output).
0x000000373bceb8d0 in __libc_tcdrain (fd=1) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tcdrain.c:29
29 return INLINE_SYSCALL (ioctl, 3, fd, TCSBRK, 1);
The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on".
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(func) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.
(gdb)
That's because target_terminal_inferior skips actually doing anything
if running in the background, and, nothing is setting sync_execution
while running infcalls:
void
target_terminal_inferior (void)
{
/* A background resume (``run&'') should leave GDB in control of the
terminal. Use target_can_async_p, not target_is_async_p, since at
this point the target is not async yet. However, if sync_execution
is not set, we know it will become async prior to resume. */
if (target_can_async_p () && !sync_execution)
return;
This would best be all cleaned up by making GDB not even call
target_terminal_inferior and try to pass the terminal to the inferior
if running in the background, but that's a more invasive fix that is
better done post-7.8.
This was originally caught by a patch later in this series that makes
catch_command_errors use exception_print instead of
print_any_exception. Note that print_flush calls serial_drain_output
while print_any_exception doesnt't have that bit. And,
gdb.gdb/python-selftest.exp does:
gdb_test "call catch_command_errors(execute_command, \"python print 5\", 0, RETURN_MASK_ALL)" \
"Python not initialized.* = 0"
which without this fix results in SIGTTOU...

This fixes PR 17106, a regression in printing.
The bug is that resolve_dynamic_type follows struct members and
references, but doesn't consider the possibility of infinite
recursion.
This patch fixes the problem by limiting reference following to the
topmost layer of calls -- that is, reference-typed struct members are
never considered as being VLAs.

Right now we provide a board info entry, `gdb_init_command', that allows
one to send a single command to GDB before the program to be debugged is
started. This is useful e.g. for slow remote targets to change the
default "remotetimeout" setting. Occasionally I found a need to send
multiple commands instead, however this cannot be achieved with
`gdb_init_command'.
This change therefore extends the mechanism by adding a TCL list of GDB
commands to send, via a board info entry called `gdb_init_commands'.
There is no limit as to the number of commands put there. The old
`gdb_init_command' mechanism remains supported for compatibility with
existing people's environments.

As we can see, GDB analyzes the prologue and skip the prologue to the last
instruction but one. The breakpoint is set within the epilogue, and GDB
skips too many instruction for prologue. This patch teaches GDB to stop
prologue analysis when goes into the epilogue. With this patch applied,
GDB is able to unwind correctly,

* arm-tdep.c (thumb_analyze_prologue): Break the loop if

This is a refactor patch, that moves matching instructions adjusting
SP into a new function, thumb_instruction_restores_sp. The second
call to thumb_instruction_restores_sp in thumb_in_function_epilogue_p
is a little different from the original. The original code matches
'POP <registers> without PC', but thumb_in_function_epilogue_p matches
'POP <registers> (with and without PC)'. However, GDB found one
instruction about return and is scanning the previous instruction,
which should be an instruction about return too, so the code change
doesn't affect the functionality.

* arm-tdep.c (thumb_instruction_restores_sp): New function.
(thumb_in_function_epilogue_p): Call

Currently, GDB matches both add/sub sp, #imm in prologue and epilogue,
which is not very precise. On the instruction level, the immediate
number in both instruction can't be negative, so 'sub sp, #imm' only
appears in prologue while 'add sp, #imm' only appears in epilogue.
Note that on assembly level, we can write 'add sp, -8', but gas will
translate to 'sub sp, 8' instruction.
This patch is to only match 'sub sp, #imm' in prologue and match
'add sp, #immm' in epilogue. It paves the way for the following
patch.

The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited
(even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread
list is being walked on with find_inferior. find_inferior can handle
the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others.
When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending
status handling of linux_wait_for_event. We can just waitpid the lwps
directly, which is also what GDB does (see
linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback). This way the lwps are not deleted
while we're walking the list. They'll be deleted by linux_mourn
afterwards.
This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against
GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB
can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being
sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet
doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no
FAIL.
The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with
extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too). Here's
how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix:

When debugging a remote bare-metal target with "target
extended-remote" + attach, GDB won't send a qSymbol packet to initiate
symbol lookup. This happens because all the previous places in which
GDB might have done this are guarded by conditions that don't hold in
the said scenario: there are no shared libraries, no vsyscall page and
the binary file didn't change in the time passed between the "file"
and the "attach" commands.

The address of write_basic_trace_file is two-bytes aligned,
(gdb) p write_basic_trace_file
$1 = {void (void)} 0x8958 <write_basic_trace_file>
but the ld sets the LSB of every reference to the function address
(indicating the address is in thumb mode), so "&write_basic_trace_file"
in the program becomes 0x8959, which is saved in the trace file. That
is why the warnnings are emitted.
This patch is to clear the LSB of the function address written to trace
file in thumb and thumb2 mode. This patch fixes the fail above.

On async targets, a synchronous attach is done like this:
#1 - target_attach is called (PTRACE_ATTACH is issued)
#2 - a continuation is installed
#3 - we go back to the event loop
#4 - target reports stop (SIGSTOP), event loop wakes up, and
attach continuation is called
#5 - among other things, the continuation calls
target_terminal_inferior, which removes stdin from the event
loop
Note that in #3, GDB is still processing user input. If the user is
fast enough, e.g., with something like:
echo -e "attach PID\nset xxx=1" | gdb
... then the "set" command is processed before the attach completes.
We get worse behavior even, if input is a tty and therefore
readline/editing is enabled, with e.g.,:
(gdb) attach PID\nset xxx=1
we then crash readline/gdb, with:
Attaching to program: attach-wait-input, process 14537
readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
Aborted
$
Fix this by calling target_terminal_inferior before #3 above.
The test covers both scenarios by running with editing/readline forced
to both on and off.

## END EXAMPLE ##
Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result
the print command fails.
This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called
is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding
the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is
extended to handle the nested cases. No other language currently uses
this code, so all other languages just get a default method.
With this patch, the above example now finishes like this:

On Windows, with "maint set target-async on" (the default since
a09dd441), Ctrl-C fails to stop a remote target.
With maint target-async on, the SIGINT signal handler doesn't send the
remote interrupt request immediately. Instead, it marks an async
handler as ready, and then the main event loop wakes up and notices
that the SIGINT async signal handler token was set, and calls the
corresponding event handler, which sends the remote interrupt request.
On POSIX-like systems, the SIGINT signal makes the select/poll in the
main event loop wake up / return with EINTR. However, on Windows,
signal handlers run on a separate thread, and Windows doesn't really
have a concept of EINTR. So, just marking the async handler
(effectively just setting a flag) does not wake up gdb_select.
Instead, we need to call gdb_call_async_signal_handler from the signal
handler. The Windows version (in mingw-hdep.c) sets a Windows event
that gdb_select's WaitForMultipleObjects is waiting for.
Confirmed that with this, Ctrl-C interrupts the remote target on
Windows. Also regression tested on x86_64 Fedora 20 against
GDBserver.

This converts to_get_thread_local_address to use

generic_tls_error.

same as powerpc's, but the target triplet pattern is not there.
In summary, the testcase fails to locate the branch offset and causes

The test case "watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp" yields a lot of failures on
s390/s390x: all instances of awatch, rwatch, and hbreak are performed
even though they aren't supported on these targets. This is because
the test case ignores non-support error messages when probing for
support of these commands, like:
(gdb) rwatch buf.byte[0]
Target does not support this type of hardware watchpoint.
The patch adds handling for this case in the appropriate
gdb_test_multiple invocations.

This patch is to add ptid into dummy_frame and extend frame_id to
dummy_frame_id (which has a ptid field). With this change, GDB uses
dummy_frame_id (thread ptid and frame_id) to find the dummy frames.
Currently, dummy frames are looked up by frame_id, which isn't
accurate in non-stop or multi-process mode. The test case
gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp shows the problem and this patch can
fix it.
Test dummy-frame-restore.exp makes two inferiors stop at
different functions, say, inferior 1 stops at f1 while inferior 2
stops at f2. Set a breakpoint to a function, do the inferior call
in two inferiors, and GDB has two dummy frames of the same frame_id.
When the inferior call is finished, GDB will look up a dummy frame
from its stack/list and restore the inferior's regcache. Two
inferiors are finished in different orders, the inferiors' states are
restored differently, which is wrong. Running dummy-frame-restore.exp
under un-patched GDB, we'll get two fails:
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 2
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 1
With this patch applied, GDB will choose the correct dummy_frame to
restore for a given inferior, because ptid is considered when looking up
dummy frames. Two fails above are fixed.
Regression tested on x86_64-linux, both native and gdbserver.

This fixes a regression that Jan pointed out.
The bug is that some names were allocated by dwarf2read on the objfile
obstack, but then passed to SYMBOL_SET_NAMES with copy_name=0. This
violates the invariant that the names must have a lifetime tied to the
lifetime of the BFD.
The fix is to allocate names on the per-BFD obstack.
I looked at all callers, direct or indirect, of SYMBOL_SET_NAMES that
pass copy_name=0. Note that only the ELF and DWARF readers do this;
other symbol readers were never updated (and perhaps cannot be,
depending on the details of the formats). This is why the patch is
relatively small.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.
