That's right, block_lookup_symbol_primary()'s additional requirement over
block_lookup_symbol() is:
Function is useful if one iterates all global/static blocks of an
objfile.
Which is satisfied both in lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() and in
lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile() thanks to their's ALL_OBJFILE_COMPUNITS.
In fact after reverting that ba715d7fe4 above
the lines of code were exactly the same.
So instead of accelerating both lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() and
lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile() I just accelerated
lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() and I am proposing to reuse
lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs() in lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile()
instead. In fact such unification would already save some lines of code even
before the checked-in acceleration patch above.

* symtab.c (lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs): New declaration.
(lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile): Call it.
I am just not sure if we should go the route of
struct objfile * -> const struct objfile *
or the other way of:
const struct objfile * -> struct objfile *
Normally const adding is better but here I do not see much useful to have any
struct objfile * const and then it just causes pointer compatibility problems.

During debugging I get 10-30 seconds for a response to simple commands like:
(gdb) print vectorvar.size()
With this patch the performance gets to 1-2 seconds which is somehow
acceptable. The problem is that dwarf2_gdb_index_functions.lookup_symbol
(quick_symbol_functions::lookup_symbol) may return (and returns) NULL even for
symbols which are present in .gdb_index but which can be found in already
expanded symtab. But searching in the already expanded symtabs is just too
slow when there are 400000+ expanded symtabs. There would be needed some
single global hash table for each objfile so that one does not have to iterate
all symtabs. Which .gdb_index could perfectly serve for, just its
lookup_symbol() would need to return authoritative yes/no answers.
Even after such fix these two simple patches are useful for example for
non-.gdb_index files.
One can reproduce the slugging interactive GDB performance with:
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class C {
public:

Without DWZ there are X global blocks for X primary symtabs for X CUs of
objfile. With DWZ there are X+Y global blocks for X+Y primary symtabs for
X+Y CUs where Y are 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's.
For 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's (Ys) their blockvector is usually empty. But not
always, I have found there typedef symbols, there can IMO be optimized-out
static variables etc.
Neither of the patches should cause any visible behavior change.

However, minsyms pay the price for this space too.
For my standard benchmark this patch gets back 44MB of memory
when gdb starts. [There's still ~440MB of memory used
by the demangled ELF symbols of this benchmark, but that's another topic.]
When the improved templated support is added,
I wonder if this can be moved to struct symbol.
Hmmm, we already have a special version of
struct symbol for templates (struct template_symbol).

Currently "symtabs" in gdb are stored as a single linked list of
struct symtab that contains both symbol symtabs (the blockvectors)
and file symtabs (the linetables).
This has led to confusion, bugs, and performance issues.
This patch is conceptually very simple: split struct symtab into
two pieces: one part containing things common across the entire
compilation unit, and one part containing things specific to each
source file.
Example.
For the case of a program built out of these files:
foo.c
foo1.h
foo2.h
bar.c
foo1.h
bar.h
Today we have a single list of struct symtabs:
objfile -> foo.c -> foo1.h -> foo2.h -> bar.c -> foo1.h -> bar.h -> NULL
where "->" means the "next" pointer in struct symtab.
With this patch, that turns into:
objfile -> foo.c(cu) -> bar.c(cu) -> NULL
| |
v v
foo.c bar.c
| |
v v
foo1.h foo1.h
| |
v v
foo2.h bar.h
| |
v v
NULL NULL
where "foo.c(cu)" and "bar.c(cu)" are struct compunit_symtab objects,
and the files foo.c, etc. are struct symtab objects.
So now, for example, when we want to iterate over all blockvectors
we can now just iterate over the compunit_symtab list.
Plus a lot of the data that was either unused or replicated for each
symtab in a compilation unit now lives in struct compunit_symtab.
E.g., the objfile pointer, the producer string, etc.
I thought of moving "language" out of struct symtab but there is
logic to try to compute the language based on previously seen files,
and I think that's best left as is for now.
With my standard monster benchmark with -readnow (which I can't actually
do, but based on my calculations), whereas today the list requires
77MB to store all the struct symtabs, it now only requires 37MB.
A modest space savings given the gigabytes needed for all the debug info,
etc. Still, it's nice. Plus, whereas today we create a copy of dirname
for each source file symtab in a compilation unit, we now only create one
for the compunit.
So this patch is basically just a data structure reorg,
I don't expect significant performance improvements from it.
Notes:
1) A followup patch can do a similar split for struct partial_symtab.
I have left that until after I get the changes I want in to
better utilize .gdb_index (it may affect how we do partial syms).
2) Another followup patch *could* rename struct symtab.
The term "symtab" is ambiguous and has been a source of confusion.
In this patch I'm leaving it alone, calling it the "historical" name
of "filetabs", which is what they are now: just the file-name + line-table.

Basically the problem is that "symtab" is ambiguous.
Is it the primary symtab (where we canonically think of
blockvectors as being stored) or is it for a specific file
(where each file's line table is stored) ?
gdb_disassembly wants the symtab that contains the line table
but is instead getting the primary symtab.

This patch just renames one function.
Its only caller is in stack.c where we're printing a backtrace
with non-zero info_verbose and we want to make sure all the needed
symtabs are expanded before printing the backtrace
so that debug symbol reading messages don't pollute the backtrace.
I think the new name of the function makes clearer to the reader
what is going on.

When searching static symbols, gdb would search over all
expanded symtabs of all objfiles, and if that fails only then
would it search all partial/gdb_index tables of all objfiles.
This means that the user could get a random instance of the
symbol depending on what symtabs have been previously expanded.
Now the search is consistent, searching each objfile completely
before proceeding to the next one.

The in_prologue check in the nexti code is obsolete; this commit
removes that, and then removes the in_prologue function as nothing
else uses it.
Looking at the code in GDB that makes use in_prologue, all we find is
this one caller:
if ((ecs->event_thread->control.step_over_calls == STEP_OVER_NONE)
|| ((ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_end == 1)
&& in_prologue (gdbarch, ecs->event_thread->prev_pc,
ecs->stop_func_start)))
{
/* I presume that step_over_calls is only 0 when we're
supposed to be stepping at the assembly language level
("stepi"). Just stop. */
/* Also, maybe we just did a "nexti" inside a prolog, so we
thought it was a subroutine call but it was not. Stop as
well. FENN */
/* And this works the same backward as frontward. MVS */
end_stepping_range (ecs);
return;
}
This was added by:
commit 100a02e1de
...
From Fernando Nasser:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Handle "nexti" inside function
prologues.
The mailing list thread is here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2001-01/msg00047.html
Not much discussion there, and no test, but looking at the code around
what was patched in that revision, we see that the checks that detect
whether the program has just stepped into a subroutine didn't rely on
the unwinders at all back then.
From 'git show 100a02e1:gdb/infrun.c':
if (stop_pc == ecs->stop_func_start /* Quick test */
|| (in_prologue (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_start) &&
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
!IN_SOLIB_RETURN_TRAMPOLINE (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_name))
|| IN_SOLIB_CALL_TRAMPOLINE (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_name)
|| ecs->stop_func_name == 0)
{
/* It's a subroutine call. */
if ((step_over_calls == STEP_OVER_NONE)
|| ((step_range_end == 1)
&& in_prologue (prev_pc, ecs->stop_func_start)))
{
/* I presume that step_over_calls is only 0 when we're
supposed to be stepping at the assembly language level
("stepi"). Just stop. */
/* Also, maybe we just did a "nexti" inside a prolog,
so we thought it was a subroutine call but it was not.
Stop as well. FENN */
stop_step = 1;
print_stop_reason (END_STEPPING_RANGE, 0);
stop_stepping (ecs);
return;
}
Stripping the IN_SOLIB_RETURN_TRAMPOLINE checks for simplicity, we had:
if (stop_pc == ecs->stop_func_start /* Quick test */
|| in_prologue (stop_pc, ecs->stop_func_start)
|| ecs->stop_func_name == 0)
{
/* It's a subroutine call. */
That is, detecting a subroutine call was based on prologue detection
back then. So the in_prologue check in the current tree only made
sense back then as it was undoing a bad decision the in_prologue check
that used to exist above did.
Today, the check for a subroutine call relies on frame ids instead,
which are stable throughout the function. So we can just remove the
in_prologue check for nexti, and the whole in_prologue function along
with it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, and also by nexti-ing manually a prologue.

The difference is that lookup_block_symbol lives in the lower level
block API, and lookup_symbol_aux_block lives in the higher level symtab API.
This patch makes this distinction clear.

Generally, the blockvector ought to be readonly. So, this patch makes
the blockvector const in the symtab, and also changes various
blockvector APIs to be const.
This patch has a couple of spots that cast away const. I consider
these to be ok because they occur in mdebugread and are used while
constructing the blockvector. I have added comments at these spots.

symbol_matches_domain was permitting searches for a VAR_DOMAIN
symbol to also match STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols for languages like C++
where STRUCT_DOMAIN symbols also define a typedef of the same name,
e.g., "struct foo {}" introduces a typedef of the name "foo".
Problems occur if there exists both a VAR_DOMAIN and STRUCT_DOMAIN
symbol of the same name. Then it is essentially a race between which
symbol is found first. The other symbol is obscurred.
[This is a relatively common idiom: enum e { ... } e;]
This patchset moves this "language defines a typedef" logic to
lookup_symbol[_in_language], looking first for a symbol in the given
domain and falling back to searching STRUCT_DOMAIN when/if appropriate.

This changes the probes to be independent of the program space.
After this, when a probe's address is needed, it is determined by
applying offsets at the point of use.
This introduces a bound_probe object, similar to bound minimal
symbols. Objects of this type are used when it's necessary to pass a
probe and its corresponding objfile.
This removes the backlink from probe to objfile, which was primarily
used to fetch the architecture to use.
This adds a get_probe_address function which calls a probe method to
compute the probe's relocated address. Similarly, it adds an objfile
parameter to the semaphore methods so they can do the relocation
properly as well.

This patch handles another aspect of the ELFv2 ABI, which unfortunately
requires common code changes.
In ELFv2, functions may provide both a global and a local entry point.
The global entry point (where the function symbol points to) is intended
to be used for function-pointer or cross-module (PLT) calls, and requires
r12 to be set up to the entry point address itself. The local entry
point (which is found at a fixed offset after the global entry point,
as defined by bits in the symbol table entries' st_other field), instead
expects r2 to be set up to the current TOC.
Now, when setting a breakpoint on a function by name, you really want
that breakpoint to trigger either way, no matter whether the function
is called via its local or global entry point. Since the global entry
point will always fall through into the local entry point, the way to
achieve that is to simply set the breakpoint at the local entry point.
One way to do that would be to have prologue parsing skip the code
sequence that makes up the global entry point. Unfortunately, this
does not work reliably, since -for optimized code- GDB these days
will not actuall invoke the prologue parsing code but instead just
set the breakpoint at the symbol address and rely on DWARF being
correct at any point throughout the function ...
Unfortunately, I don't really see any way to express the notion of
local entry points with the current set of gdbarch callbacks.
Thus this patch adds a new callback, skip_entrypoint, that is
somewhat analogous to skip_prologue, but is called every time
GDB needs to determine a function start address, even in those
cases where GDB decides to not call skip_prologue.
As a side effect, the skip_entrypoint implementation on ppc64
does not need to perform any instruction parsing; it can simply
rely on the local entry point flags in the symbol table entry.
With this implemented, two test cases would still fail to set
the breakpoint correctly, but that's because they use the construct:
gdb_test "break *hello"
Now, using "*hello" explicitly instructs GDB to set the breakpoint
at the numerical value of "hello" treated as function pointer, so
it will by definition only hit the global entry point.
I think this behaviour is unavoidable, but acceptable -- most people
do not use this construct, and if they do, they get what they
asked for ...
In one of those two test cases, use of this construct is really
not appropriate. I think this was added way back when as a means
to work around prologue skipping problems on some platforms. These
days that shouldn't really be necessary any more ...
For the other (step-bt), we really want to make sure backtracing
works on the very first instruction of the routine. To enable that
test also on powerpc64le-linux, we can modify the code to call the
test function via function pointer (which makes it use the global
entry point in the ELFv2 ABI).

This adds the "main"-related data into the per-BFD. This is needed
because once symbol sharing across objfiles is complete, computing the
main name as a side effect of symbol reading will no longer work --
the symbols simply won't be re-read.
After this change, set_main_name is only used by the main_name
machinery itself, so this patch makes it static.

This moves the "main" name and language into an object attached to the

for unwinding, see frame.c:inside_main_func.
