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.

The patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00202.html>
fixed dw2-ifort-parameter.exp on powerpc64 by adding some labels to
get the start and end address of function func. This should also fix the
fail on thumb mode, however, this style is quite specific to gcc, and
other compiler, such as clang, may not guarantee the order of global
asms and functions. The test fails with clang:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='dw2-ifort-parameter.exp CC_FOR_TARGET=clang'
(gdb) p/x param^M
No symbol "param" in current context.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ifort-parameter.exp: p/x param
With this patch applied, dw2-ifort-parameter.exp still passes for gcc
on arm thumb mode and popwerpc64, and it also passes for clang on
x86_linux.

The cause of both is that we incorrectly set attribute low_pc, since
main isn't resolved to function start address on these targets.

This patch addes DW macro attributes MACRO_AT_func and MACRO_AT_range
in dwarf assembler, which emits "DW_AT_low_pc func_start addr" and
"DW_AT_high_pc func_end addr". func_start and func_end are computed
automatically by proc function_range.
These two attributes are pseudo attribute or macro attribute, which
means they are not standard dwarf attribute in dwarf spec. Then can
be substituted or expanded to standard attributes or macro attributes.
See details in the comments to them. Dwarf assembler is extended to
handle them.
Now the attributes name/low_pc/high_pc can be replaced with
MACRO_AT_func like this:
subprogram {
{name main}
{low_pc main_start addr}
{high_pc main_end addr}
}
becomes:
subprogram {
{MACRO_AT_func { main ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile} }}
}
users don't have to worry about the start and end of function main, and
they only need to add a label main_label in main.

code in and around certain lines. Thus the dependency on the line
numbering can not be eliminated so easily, and it may not even be a
useful goal for a "list" test case. Another option might be to adjust
the literal line numbers in list.exp, but even that is not as

The target->request_interrupt callback implements the handling for
ctrl-c. User types ctrl-c in GDB, GDB sends a \003 to the remote
target, and the remote targets stops the program with a SIGINT, just
like if the user typed ctrl-c in GDBserver's terminal.
The trouble is that using kill_lwp(signal_pid, SIGINT) sends the
SIGINT directly to the program's main thread. If that thread has
exited already, then that kill won't do anything.
Instead, send the SIGINT to the process group, just like GDB
does (see inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop).
gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp is extended to cover the scenario. It
fails against GDBserver before the patch.

The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is currently failing an
assertion recently added:
(gdb) stepi
../../src/gdb/infrun.c:2237: internal-error: resume: Assertion `sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: Single stepping past permanent breakpoint. (GDB internal error)
The assertion expects that the only reason we currently need to step a
breakpoint instruction is when we have a signal to deliver. But when
stepping a permanent breakpoint (with or without a signal) we also
reach this code.
The assertion is correct and the permanent breakpoints skipping code
is wrong.
Consider the case of the user doing "step/stepi" when stopped at a
permanent breakpoint. GDB's `resume' calls the
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint hook and then happily continues
stepping:
/* Normally, by the time we reach `resume', the breakpoints are either
removed or inserted, as appropriate. The exception is if we're sitting
at a permanent breakpoint; we need to step over it, but permanent
breakpoints can't be removed. So we have to test for it here. */
if (breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == permanent_breakpoint_here)
{
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
}
But since gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint already advanced the PC
manually, this ends up executing the instruction that is _after_ the
breakpoint instruction. The user-visible result is that a single-step
steps two instructions.
The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is actually ensuring that
that's indeed how things work. It runs to an int3 instruction, does
"stepi", and checks that "leave" was executed with that "stepi". Like
this:
(gdb) b *0x0804848c

One would instead expect that a stepi at 0x0804848c stops at
0x0804848d, _before_ the "leave" is executed. This commit changes GDB
this way. Care is taken to make stepping into a signal handler when
the step starts at a permanent breakpoint instruction work correctly.
The patch adjusts gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp in this direction,
and also makes it work on x86_64 (currently it only works on i*86).
The patch also adds a new gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp test that
exercises many different code paths related to stepping permanent
breakpoints, including the stepping with signals cases. The test uses
"hack/trick" to make it work on all (or most) platforms -- it doesn't
really hard code a breakpoint instruction.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

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

Several GDB tests change directory before compiling the test program
in order to test source file names that include directories. This
doesn't work on a remote host because default_target_compile in
DejaGnu's target.exp copies each source file with
"[remote_download host $x]" which uses "[file tail $file] to strip
off the directory of each file. If the source directory is remote
mounted on the host, this also leaves copied files in the source
directory.
A similar skip is already used in gdb.test/fullname.exp:
# We rely on being able to copy things around.
if { [is_remote host] } {
untested "setting breakpoints by full path"
return -1
}
This patch causes three GDB tests that use "cd" to be skipped for a
remote host. For gdb.base/fullpath-expand.exp this eliminates two
failures and prevents the test from leaving files fullpath-expand.c
and fullpath-expand-func.c in gdb/testsuite. For

Like:
gdb/infrun.c:5406: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!schedlock_applies (1)' failed.
The way the assertion is written is assuming that with schedlock=step
we'll always leave threads other than the one with the stepping range
locked, while that's not true with the "next" command. With schedlock
"step", other threads still run unlocked when "next" detects a
function call and steps over it. Whether that makes sense or not,
still, it's documented that way in the manual. If another thread hits
an event that doesn't cause a stop while the nexting thread steps over
a function call, we'll get here and fail the assertion.
The fix is just to adjust the assertion. Even though we found the
stepping thread, we'll still step-over the breakpoint that just
triggered correctly.
Surprisingly, gdb.threads/schedlock.exp doesn't have any test that
steps over a function call. This commits fixes that. This ensures
that "next" doesn't switch focus to another thread, and checks whether
other threads run locked or not, depending on scheduler locking mode
and command. There's a lot of duplication in that file that this ends
cleaning up. There's more that could be cleaned up, but that would
end up an unrelated change, best done separately.
This new coverage in schedlock.exp happens to trigger the internal
error in question, like so:
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (1) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (3) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (5) (GDB internal error)

FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next does not change thread (switched to thread 0)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: current thread advanced - unlocked (wrong amount)
That's because we have more than one thread running the same loop, and
while one thread is stepping over a function call, the other thread
hits the step-resume breakpoint of the first, which needs to be
stepped over, and we end up in switch_back_to_stepped_thread exactly

I think a simpler and more directed test is also useful, to not rely

has a thread trip on a conditional breakpoint that doesn't cause a

This PR shows that GDB can easily trigger an assertion here, in
infrun.c:
5392 /* Did we find the stepping thread? */
5393 if (tp->control.step_range_end)
5394 {
5395 /* Yep. There should only one though. */
5396 gdb_assert (stepping_thread == NULL);
5397
5398 /* The event thread is handled at the top, before we
5399 enter this loop. */
5400 gdb_assert (tp != ecs->event_thread);
5401
5402 /* If some thread other than the event thread is
5403 stepping, then scheduler locking can't be in effect,
5404 otherwise we wouldn't have resumed the current event
5405 thread in the first place. */
5406 gdb_assert (!schedlock_applies (currently_stepping (tp)));
5407
5408 stepping_thread = tp;
5409 }
Like:
gdb/infrun.c:5406: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!schedlock_applies (1)' failed.
The way the assertion is written is assuming that with schedlock=step
we'll always leave threads other than the one with the stepping range
locked, while that's not true with the "next" command. With schedlock
"step", other threads still run unlocked when "next" detects a
function call and steps over it. Whether that makes sense or not,
still, it's documented that way in the manual. If another thread hits
an event that doesn't cause a stop while the nexting thread steps over
a function call, we'll get here and fail the assertion.
The fix is just to adjust the assertion. Even though we found the
stepping thread, we'll still step-over the breakpoint that just
triggered correctly.
Surprisingly, gdb.threads/schedlock.exp doesn't have any test that
steps over a function call. This commits fixes that. This ensures
that "next" doesn't switch focus to another thread, and checks whether
other threads run locked or not, depending on scheduler locking mode
and command. There's a lot of duplication in that file that this ends
cleaning up. There's more that could be cleaned up, but that would
end up an unrelated change, best done separately.
This new coverage in schedlock.exp happens to trigger the internal
error in question, like so:
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (1) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (3) (GDB internal error)

FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: current thread advanced - unlocked (wrong amount)
That's because we have more than one thread running the same loop, and
while one thread is stepping over a function call, the other thread
hits the step-resume breakpoint of the first, which needs to be
stepped over, and we end up in switch_back_to_stepped_thread exactly
in the problem case.

on internal breakpoint magics. So this commit also adds a test that

Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Date: Mon Jul 14 19:55:32 2014 +0100
Background execution + pagination aborts readline/gdb
gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
processed. Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
reinstalls the handler. But if the output is coming out of handling
a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
handler. So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
readline, which aborts.

* top.c (gdb_readline_wrapper_line): Tweak comment.
(gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup): If readline is enabled, reinstall

The problem is that installing the input handler callback also preps
the terminal, putting it in raw mode and with echo disabled, which is
bad if we're going to call a command that assumes cooked/canonical
mode, and echo enabled, like in the case of the PR, Python's
interactive shell. Another example I came up with that doesn't depend
on Python is starting a subshell with "(gdb) shell /bin/sh" from a
multi-line command. Tests covering both these examples are added.
The fix is to revert the original fix for PR gdb/17072, and instead
restore the callback handler after processing an asynchronous target
event.
Furthermore, calling rl_callback_handler_install when we already have
some input in readline's line buffer discards that input, which is
obviously a bad thing to do while the user is typing. No specific
test is added for that, because I first tried calling it even if the
callback handler was still installed and that resulted in hundreds of
failures in the testsuite.

In gdb.base/fileio.c, some functions may depend on others. For
example, test_rename renames a file to one directory which is created
in test_system. That is means, if test_system fails, test_rename
fails too, which is not a good practise, IMO.
In test_system, system ("mkdir -p XX") is used to create directories
needed for test_rename. In this patch, we use dejagnu remote_exec
proc to create these directories on host.
In my gdb testing, mingw32 host and arm-none-eabi target, system
("mkdir -p XX") doesn't work properly (this issue can be addressed
separately), and this patch fixes the following fails.

TL;DR - if we step an instruction that is as long as
decr_pc_after_break (1-byte on x86) right after removing the
breakpoint at PC, in non-stop mode, adjust_pc_after_break adjusts the
PC, but it shouldn't.
In non-stop mode, when a breakpoint is removed, it is moved to the
"moribund locations" list. This is because other threads that are
running may have tripped on that breakpoint as well, and we haven't
heard about it. When a trap is reported, we check if perhaps it was
such a deleted breakpoint that caused the trap. If so, we also need
to adjust the PC (decr_pc_after_break).
Now, say that, on x86:
- a breakpoint was placed at an address where we have an instruction
of the same length as decr_pc_after_break on this arch (1 on x86).
- the breakpoint is removed, and thus put on the moribund locations
list.
- the thread is single-stepped.
As there's no breakpoint inserted at PC anymore, the single-step
actually executes the 1-byte instruction normally. GDB should _not_
adjust the PC for the resulting SIGTRAP. But, adjust_pc_after_break
confuses the step SIGTRAP reported for this single-step as being a
SIGTRAP for the moribund location of the breakpoint that used to be at
the previous PC, and so infrun applies the decr_pc_after_break
adjustment incorrectly.
The confusion comes from the special case mentioned in the comment:
static void
adjust_pc_after_break (struct execution_control_state *ecs)
{
...
As a special case, we could have hardware single-stepped a
software breakpoint. In this case (prev_pc == breakpoint_pc),
we also need to back up to the breakpoint address. */
if (thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (ecs->event_thread)
|| !ptid_equal (ecs->ptid, inferior_ptid)
|| !currently_stepping (ecs->event_thread)
|| (ecs->event_thread->stepped_breakpoint
&& ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc))
regcache_write_pc (regcache, breakpoint_pc);
The condition that incorrectly triggers is the
"ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc" one.
Afterwards, the next resume resume re-executes an instruction that had
already executed, which if you're lucky, results in the inferior
crashing. If you're unlucky, you'll get silent bad behavior...
The fix is to remember that we stepped a breakpoint. Turns out the
only case we step a breakpoint instruction today isn't covered by the
testsuite. It's the case of a 'handle nostop" signal arriving while a
step is in progress _and_ we have a software watchpoint, which forces
always single-stepping. This commit extends sigstep.exp to cover
that, and adds a new test for the adjust_pc_after_break issue.

I noticed that when I single-step into a signal handler with a
pending/queued signal, the following single-steps while the program is
in the signal handler leave $eflags.TF set. That means subsequent
continues will trap after one instruction, resulting in a spurious
SIGTRAP being reported to the user.
This is a kernel bug; I've reported it to kernel devs (turned out to
be a known bug). I'm seeing it on x86_64 Fedora 20 (Linux
3.16.4-200.fc20.x86_64), and I was told it's still not fixed upstream.
This commit extends gdb.base/sigstep.exp to cover this use case,
xfailed.
Here's what the bug looks like:
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at si-handler.c:48
48 setup ();
(gdb) next
50 global = 0; /* set break here */
Let's queue a signal, so we can step into the handler:
(gdb) handle SIGUSR1
Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description
SIGUSR1 Yes Yes Yes User defined signal 1
(gdb) queue-signal SIGUSR1
TF is not set:
(gdb) display $eflags
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
Now step into the handler -- "si" does PTRACE_SINGLESTEP+SIGUSR1:
(gdb) si
sigusr1_handler (sig=0) at si-handler.c:31
31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF IF ]
No TF yet. But another single-step...
(gdb) si
0x0000000000400621 31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
... ends up with TF left set. This results in PTRACE_CONTINUE
trapping after each instruction is executed:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
0x0000000000400624 in sigusr1_handler (sig=0) at si-handler.c:31
31 {
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
sigusr1_handler (sig=10) at si-handler.c:32
32 global = 0;
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
Note that even another PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does not fix it:
(gdb) si
33 }
1: $eflags = [ PF ZF TF IF ]
(gdb)
Eventually, it gets "fixed" by the rt_sigreturn syscall, when
returning out of the handler:
(gdb) bt

#1 <signal handler called>
#2 main () at si-handler.c:50

The bug doesn't happen if we instead PTRACE_CONTINUE into the signal
handler -- e.g., set a breakpoint in the handler, queue a signal, and
"continue".

Hacking on sigstep.exp, I found it harder to understand and extend

- GDB is currently not restarted between the different
tests/combinations in the file, and some parts of the tests' setup
are done on the top level, and shared between tests. It's not
trivial to understand which breakpoints each test procedure expects
to be set or not set. And it's not trivial to disable parts of the
test if you want quickly try out just a subset of the tests
(running the whole file takes a bit).
- Because GDB is currently not restarted between tests, if some test
triggers a ptrace/kernel bug, the following tests may end up with
cascading fails. That makes it hard to add a test to cover a
kernel bug that isn't fixed yet, with a xfail/kfail. E.g,. note
how with kernels with bug gdb/8744 (stepi over sigreturn syscall
exits program) the test program exits, and nothing restarts it
afterwards...
- The manual test message prefix management gets a bit in the way.
Nowadays, we have with_test_prefix which makes it simpler.
- 'i' is used as parameter name in the various procedures, meaning
'the command the test', which isn't as obvious as it could.
This commit addresses all that.

I noticed that "si" behaves differently when a "handle nostop" signal
arrives while the step is in progress, depending on whether the
program was stopped at a breakpoint when "si" was entered.
Specifically, in case GDB needs to step off a breakpoint, the handler
is skipped and the program stops in the next "mainline" instruction.
Otherwise, the "si" stops in the first instruction of the signal
handler.
I was surprised the testsuite doesn't catch this difference. Turns
out gdb.base/sigstep.exp covers a bunch of cases related to stepping
and signal handlers, but does not test stepi nor nexti, only
step/next/continue.
My first reaction was that stopping in the signal handler was the
correct thing to do, as it's where the next user-visible instruction
that is executed is. I considered then "nexti" -- a signal handler
could be reasonably considered a subroutine call to step over, it'd
seem intuitive to me that "nexti" would skip it.
But then, I realized that signals that arrive while a plain/line
"step" is in progress _also_ have their handler skipped. A user might
well be excused for being confused by this, given:
(gdb) help step
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
And the signal handler's sources will be in different source lines,
after all.
I think that having to explain that "stepi" steps into handlers, (and
that "nexti" wouldn't according to my reasoning above), while "step"
does not, is a sign of an awkward interface.
E.g., if a user truly is interested in stepping into signal handlers,
then it's odd that she has to either force the signal to "handle
stop", or recall to do "stepi" whenever such a signal might be
delivered. For that use case, it'd seem nicer to me if "step" also
stepped into handlers.
This suggests to me that we either need a global "step-into-handlers"
setting, or perhaps better, make "handle pass/nopass stop/nostop
print/noprint" have have an additional axis - "handle
stepinto/nostepinto", so that the user could configure whether
handlers for specific signals should be stepped into.
In any case, I think it's simpler (and thus better) for all step
commands to behave the same. This commit thus makes "si/ni" skip
handlers for "handle nostop" signals that arrive while the command was
already in progress, like step/next do.
To be clear, nothing changes if the program was stopped for a signal,
and the user enters a stepping command _then_ -- GDB still steps into
the handler. The change concerns signals that don't cause a stop and
that arrive while the step is in progress.

FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp: tfile: select trace file
These fails are caused by writing function descriptor address into trace
file instead of function address. This patch is to teach tfile.c to
write function address on powerpc64 target. With this patch applied,
fails in tfile.exp and mi-traceframe-changed.exp are fixed. Is it
OK?

* gdb.trace/tfile.c (adjust_function_address)
[__powerpc64__ && _CALL_ELF != 2]: Get function address from
function descriptor.
This commit modifies the code that prints attach and detach messages
related to following fork and vfork. The changes include using
target_terminal_ours_for_output instead of target_terminal_ours,
printing "vfork" instead of "fork" for all vfork-related messages,
and using _() for the format strings of all of the messages.
We also add a "detach" message for when a fork parent is detached.
Previously in this case the only message was notification of attaching
to the child. We still do not print any messages when following the
parent and detaching the child (the default). The rationale for this
is that from the user's perspective the new child was never attached.
Note that all of these messages are only printed when 'verbose' is set
or when debugging is turned on.
The tests gdb.base/foll-fork.exp and gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp were
modified to check for the new message.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native only.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (follow_fork_inferior): Update fork message printing
to use target_terminal_ours_for_output instead of
target_terminal_ours, to use _() for all format strings, to print
"vfork" instead of "fork" for vforks, and to add a detach message.
(handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit): Update message printing to use
target_terminal_ours_for_output instead of target_terminal_ours, to
use _() for all format strings, and to fix some formatting.

Patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-07/msg00225.html> was
to fix the problem that py-objfile-script-gdb.py is removed after an
in-tree build and test. As a result of the previous patch (we don't
remove files copied to host any more), this patch is no longer needed.
This patch is to revert it logically.
gdb/testsuite:
2014-10-20 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.python/py-objfile-script-gdb.py.in: Rename it to ...
* gdb.python/py-objfile-script-gdb.py: New file.
* gdb.python/py-objfile-script.exp: Update reference to
py-objfile-script-gdb.py.in. Use gdb_remote_donwload instead
of remote_download. Remove the dest file.
Nowadays, if we do in-tree build and run tests sequentially, some source
files are removed, due to the following pattern:
set pi_txt [gdb_remote_download host ${srcdir}/${subdir}/pi.txt]
remote_exec host "rm -f $pi_txt"
If testing is run sequentially, file ${srcdir}/${subdir}/pi.txt is
copied to ${objdir}/${subdir}/pi.txt. However, ${objdir} is ${srcdir}
in the in-tree build/test, so the file is coped to itself, as a nop.
As a result, the file in source is removed at the end of test.
This patch fixes this problem by not removing files copied to host in
each test. This patch also addresses the question we've had that why
don't we keep files copied to host because they are needed to reproduce
certain fails.

This patch fixes the failures that occur with the
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp test on 64-bit MIPS and compressed
MIPS ISAs (i.e. MIPS16 and microMIPS).
The failures on 64-bit occur because the generated DWARF address
information is always 32-bit, which causes the upper 32-bits of
addresses to be truncated and causes breakpoints to be set on the
wrong address if any of the upper 32-bits are non-zero. I suspect
that other 64-bit architectures get away with it because they
place all their instructions at a VMA lower than 2^32 by default.
This patch causes 64-bit addresses to be generated if a 64-bit
target is detected.
The failures on MIPS16 and microMIPS occur because the breakpoint
address needs to have the LSB set to 1 (used to indicate that the
code is compressed). However, the function name is interpreted as
a data label, causing GDB to set breakpoints at even addresses.
This is fixed by explicitly adding a '.insn' directive (see
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/MIPS-insn.html) after the
label on MIPS only.

I see the following two fails on arm-none-eabi target, because argv[0]
isn't available.
print argv[0]^M
$1 = 0x1f78 "/dev/null"^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/argv0-symlink.exp: kept file symbolic link name
print argv[0]^M
$1 = 0x1f78 "/dev/null"^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/argv0-symlink.exp: kept directory symbolic link name
My first thought is to check [target_info exists noargs], and skip the
test if it returns true. However, noargs is set in gdbserver board
files, so argv0-symlink.exp will be skipped on gdbserver board file.
The change is too aggressive.
When the program is running with gdbserver, argv[1] to argv[N] aren't
available, but argv[0] is. Fortunately, argv0-symlink.exp only
requires argv[0]. argv0-symlink.exp can be run with gdbserver board
file, as what we do now.
What we need to check is whether argv[0] is available, so I add a new
proc gdb_has_argv0 to do so by starting a program, and check
argc/argv[0] to see whether argv[0] is available.
Dan fixed the similar problem by checking noargs, which is too strong.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-02/msg00398.html as a
result, the test is skipped on gdbserver. This patch fixed it too.

Some testcases, mostly gdb.reverse ones, assume the presence of a
'/' directory separator before the source file name. This is
incorrect for mingw32 hosts, generating false failures for those
tests.
I attempted to catch most of the occurrences of the pattern
".*/$srcfile" and replaced them with ".*$srcfile". The latter
is used elsewhere in the testsuite. The resulting patch is attached.
I also see other occurrences of the same assumption throughout the
testsuite, but usually they are arguments for function calls and i
seem to recall either the test harness or GDB deals with those
paths properly.

When we repeat a command, by just pressing <ret>, the input from the
previous command is reused for the new command invocation.
When an execution command strips the "&" out of its incoming argument
string, to detect background execution, we poke a '\0' directly to the
incoming argument string.
Combine both, and a repeat of a background command loses the "&".
This is actually only visible if args other than "&" are specified
(e.g., "c 1&" or "next 2&" or "c -a&"), as in the special case of "&"
alone (e.g. "c&") doesn't actually clobber the incoming string.
Fix this by making strip_bg_char return a new string instead of poking
a hole in the input string.
New test included.

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

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

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

This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

I am confused by the noargs checking at each proc in commands.exp,
if [target_info exists noargs] {
verbose "Skipping progvar_simple_while_test because of noargs."
return
}
gdb_test_no_output "set args 5" "set args in progvar_simple_while_test"
if { ![runto factorial] } then { gdb_suppress_tests }
# Don't depend upon argument passing, since most simulators don't
# currently support it. Bash value variable to be what we want.
gdb_test "p value=5" ".*" "set value to 5 in progvar_simple_if_test #2"
They are conflicting to me. If the argument passing can't be done on
the target, we skip this test, why do we still have to set value below?
On the other hand, the test case is compiled with -DFAKEARGV, it doesn't
get anything from argv[1], why do we need to skip it if noargs is true?
I don't find any useful clues from the git log, as the code is quite
old, predating import to sourceware cvs. However, I find something
useful from the ChangeLog.

Jeff added noargs checking as argument is passed to the inferior. Then,
I presume Fred wanted to run this test on simulators which don't support
argument passing, and change the code not get input from argv. (I guess)
noargs wasn't set in simulator board files at that moment.
Since Fred changed test to set input by gdb, instead of getting input
from argv, the test should be able to run on target doesn't support
argument passing, such as simulator and gdbserver.
This patch is to remove these checks to noargs and "set args". I run

This patch makes single-step breakpoints "real" breakpoints on the
global location list.
There are several benefits to this:
- It removes the currently limitation that only 2 single-step
breakpoints can be inserted. See an example here of a discussion
around a case that wants more than 2, possibly unbounded:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00663.html
- makes software single-step work on read-only code regions.
The logic to convert a software breakpoint to a hardware breakpoint
if the memory map says the breakpoint address is in read only memory
is in insert_bp_location. Because software single-step breakpoints
bypass all that go and straight to target_insert_breakpoint, we
can't software single-step over read only memory. This patch
removes that limitation, and adds a test that makes sure that works,
by forcing a code region to read-only with "mem LOW HIGH ro" and
then stepping through that.
- Fixes PR breakpoints/9649
This is an assertion failure in insert_single_step_breakpoint in
breakpoint.c, because we may leave stale single-step breakpoints
behind on error.
The tests for stepping through read-only regions exercise the root
cause of the bug, which is that we leave single-step breakpoints
behind if we fail to insert any single-step breakpoint. Deleting
the single-step breakpoints in resume_cleanups,
delete_just_stopped_threads_infrun_breakpoints, and
fetch_inferior_event fixes this. Without that, we'd no longer hit
the assertion, as that code is deleted, but we'd instead run into
errors/warnings trying to insert/remove the stale breakpoints on
next resume.
- Paves the way to have multiple threads software single-stepping at
the same time, leaving update_global_location_list to worry about
duplicate locations.
- Makes the moribund location machinery aware of software single-step
breakpoints, paving the way to enable software single-step on
non-stop, instead of forcing serialized displaced stepping for all
single steps.
- It's generaly cleaner.
We no longer have to play games with single-step breakpoints
inserted at the same address as regular breakpoints, like we
recently had to do for 7.8. See this discussion:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00052.html.

Joel contacted me offlist with a question about a warning that one of
his customers was seeing. The message came from the new
linker-debugger interface, which uses SDT probes internally. The
warning said:
(gdb) run
[...]
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This should not have happened in the environment the customer was
using (RHEL-6.x), so I found it strange. Another thing caught my
attention: the last message, saying "Argument to arithmetic operation
not a number or boolean.".
Joel kindly investigated the issue further, and found the answer for
this. To quote him:
(gdb) set lang c
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
$4 = (void *) 0xffffd0f8
So far so good. But...
(gdb) set lang ada
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Ooops! Interestingly, if you revert the order of the operands...
(gdb) p $ebp+48
$5 = (access void) 0xffffd0f8
So the problem is doing pointer arithmetics when the language is set
to Ada.
I remembered that, during the parsing and the evaluation of SDT probe
arguments, the code sets the language as current_language, because, at
that time, I thought it was not necessary to worry about the language
given that the code implements its own parser. I was wrong. So here
is a patch to fix that, by setting the language as C, which should
guarantee that the maths are done in the right way (TM).
It was somewhat hard to find a reproducer for this issue. In the end,
what I had to do was to create a testcase that used the %ebp register
on some displacement (e.g., "-4(%ebp)"), which finally triggered the
bug. I am not sure why I could not trigger it when using other
registers, but I did not want to spend too much time investigating
this issue, which seemed like an Ada issue. Also, because of this
peculiar way to trigger the problem, the testcase only covers x86-like
targets (i.e., i*86 and x86_64 with -m32).
Joel kindly tested this for me, and it worked. I also ran a full
regression test here on my Fedora 20 x86_64, and everything is fine.
I will push this patch in a few days if there are no comments.

In the test, "0x0" is expected, but "0x0 <_ftext>" is in the output.
Function pointers point to address zero, and tests assume there is no
symbol on address zero. However, on my arm-none-eabi target, there is
a code symbol _ftext on address zero, and test fails. Note that "set
print symbol off" doesn't take effect for function pointer.

In order to erase the difference, we can assign some function address

by Yao Qi:
In this test case, ( \\((host|target) evals\\))? isn't needed in the
pattern. What we test here is to save breakpoints into file and restore
them from file. The contents saved in file are:
break save-bp.c:31
condition $bpnum i == 1
the information about the place where the condition is evaluated isn't
saved, so we don't need to check. Breakpoint save and restore has
nothing to do with where the condition is evaluated (host or target). I
am fine to leave it here now.

The test tries to kill gdbserver in this way:

remote_exec target "kill -9 $server_pid"
in native testing, we'll get the pid of spawned gdbserver, however, in
remote testing, we'll get the pid of ssh session, since we start
gdbserver on the remote target through ssh. The pid on build doesn't
exist on target.

This does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
This doesn't touch procfs.c as that'd be a harder excision,
potentially affecting Solaris.
mips-tdep.c is left alone. E.g., I didn't delete the GDB_OSABI_IRIX
enum value, nor references to it in mips-tdep.c. Some comments
mentioning IRIX ABIs may still be relevant and I wouldn't know what to
do with them. in That can always be done on a separate pass,
preferably by someone who can test on MIPS.
I didn't remove a reference to IRIX in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

With upstream glibc, GDB prints:
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
A bug's been filed for glibc a few years back:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13097
but it's still not resolved. It's not clear whether there's even
consensus that this is indeed a glibc bug. It would actually be nice
if GDB also listed the vDSO in the shared library list, but there are
some design considerations with that:
- the vDSO is mapped by the kernel, not userspace, therefore we
should load its symbols right from the process's start of life,
even before glibc / the userspace loader sets up the initial DSO
list. The program might even be using a custom loader or no
loader.
- that kind of hints at that solib.c should handle retrieving shared
library lists from more than one source, and that symfile-mem.c's
loading of the vDSO would be converted to load and relocate the
vDSO's bfd behind the target_so_ops interface.
- and then, once glibc links in the vDSO to its DSO list, we'd need
to either:
a) somehow hand over the vDSO from one target_so_ops to the other
b) simply keep hiding glibc's entry.
And then b) seems the simplest.
With that in mind, this patch simply discards the vDSO from glibc's
reported shared library list.
We can match the vDSO address range with the addresses found iterating
the dynamic linker list, to tell which dynamic linker entry is the
vDSO.

Commit a25a5a45 (Fix "breakpoint always-inserted off"; remove
"breakpoint always-inserted auto") regressed non-stop remote
debugging.
This was exposed by mi-nsintrall.exp intermittently failing with a
spurious SIGTRAP.
The problem is that when debugging with "target remote", new threads
the target has spawned but have never reported a stop aren't visible
to GDB until it explicitly resyncs its thread list with the target's.
For example, in a program like this:
int
main (void)
{
pthread_t child_thread;
pthread_create (&child_thread, NULL, child_function, NULL);
return 0; <<<< set breakpoint here
}
If the user sets a breakpoint at the "return" statement, and runs the
program, when that breakpoint hit is reported, GDB is only aware of
the main thread. So if we base the decision to remove or insert
breakpoints from the target based on whether all the threads we know
about are stopped, we'll miss that child_thread is running, and thus
we'll remove breakpoints from the target, even through they should
still remain inserted, otherwise child_thread will miss them.
The break-while-running.exp test actually should also be exposing this
thread-list-out-of-synch problem. That test sets a breakpoint while
the main thread is stopped, but other threads are running. Because
other threads are running, the breakpoint is supposed to be inserted
immediately. But, unless something forces a refetch of the thread
list, like, e.g., "info threads", GDB won't be aware of the other
threads that had been spawned by the main thread, and so won't insert
new or old breakpoints in the target. And it turns out that the test
is exactly doing an explicit "info threads", masking out the
problem... This commit adjust the test to exercise the case of not
issuing "info threads". The test then fails without the GDB fix.
In the ni-nsintrall.exp case, what happens is that several threads hit
the same breakpoint, and when the first thread reports the stop,
because GDB wasn't aware other threads exist, all threads known to GDB
are found stopped, so GDB removes the breakpoints from the target.
The other threads follow up with SIGTRAPs too for that same
breakpoint, which has already been removed. For the first few
threads, the moribund breakpoints machinery suppresses the SIGTRAPs,
but after a few events (precisely '3 * thread_count () + 1' at the
time the breakpoint was removed, see update_global_location_list), the
moribund breakpoint machinery is no longer aware of the removed
breakpoint, and the SIGTRAP is reported as a spurious stop.
The fix is naturally then to stop assuming that if no thread in the
list is executing, then the target is fully stopped. We can't know
that until we fully sync the thread list. Because updating the thread
list on every stop would be too much RSP traffic, I chose instead to
update it whenever we're about to present a stop to the user.
Actually updating the thread list at that point happens to be an item
I had added to the local/remote parity wiki page a while ago:
Native GNU/Linux debugging adds new threads to the thread list as
the program creates them "The [New Thread foo] messages". Remote
debugging can't do that, and it's arguable whether we shouldn't even
stop native debugging from doing that, as it hinders inferior
performance. However, a related issue is that with remote targets
(and gdbserver), even after the program stops, the user still needs
to do "info threads" to pull an updated thread list. This, should
most likely be addressed, so that GDB pulls the list itself, perhaps
just before presenting a stop to the user.
With that in place, the need to delay "Program received signal FOO"
was actually caught by the manythreads.exp test. Without that bit, I
was getting:
[Thread 0x7ffff7f13700 (LWP 4499) exited]

That is, I was now getting "New Thread" lines after the "Program
received signal" line, and the test doesn't expect them. As the
number of new threads discovered before and after the "Program
received signal" output is unbounded, it's much nicer to defer
"Program received signal" until after synching the thread list, thus
close to the "switching to thread" output and "current frame/source"

(gdb)
That is, GDB is trying to insert a breakpoint at 0x400664, after the
exec, and then that address happens to not be mapped at all in the new
image.
The problem is that update_breakpoints_after_exec is creating
breakpoints, which ends up in update_global_location_list immediately
inserting breakpoints if "breakpoints always-inserted" is "on".
update_breakpoints_after_exec is called very early when we see an exec
event. At that point, we haven't loaded the symbols of the new
post-exec image yet, and thus haven't reset breakpoint's addresses to
whatever they may be in the new image. All we should be doing in
update_breakpoints_after_exec is deleting breakpoints that no longer
make sense after an exec. So the fix removes those breakpoint
creations.
The question is then, if not here, where are those breakpoints
re-created? Turns out we don't need to do anything else, because at
the end of follow_exec, we call breakpoint_re_set, whose tail is also
creating exactly the same breakpoints update_breakpoints_after_exec is
currently creating:
breakpoint_re_set (void)
{
...
create_overlay_event_breakpoint ();
create_longjmp_master_breakpoint ();
create_std_terminate_master_breakpoint ();
create_exception_master_breakpoint ();
}
A new test is added to exercise this.

We warn, saying that the insertion can't be done, but then proceed
attempting the insertion anyway, and in case of manually added
regions, the insert actually succeeds.
This is a regression; GDB used to fail inserting the breakpoint. More
below.
I stumbled on this as I wrote a test that manually sets up a read-only
memory region with the "mem" command, in order to test GDB's behavior
with breakpoints set on read-only regions, even when the real memory
the breakpoints are set at isn't really read-only. I wanted that in
order to add a test that exercises software single-stepping through
read-only regions.
Note that the memory regions that target_memory_map returns aren't
like e.g., what would expect to see in /proc/PID/maps on Linux.
Instead, they're the physical memory map from the _debuggers_
perspective. E.g., a read-only region would be real ROM or flash
memory, while a read-only+execute mapping in /proc/PID/maps is still
read-write to the debugger (otherwise the debugger wouldn't be able to
set software breakpoints in the code segment).
If one tries to manually write to memory that falls within a memory
region that is known to be read-only, with e.g., "p foo = 1", then we
hit a check in memory_xfer_partial_1 before the write mananges to make
it to the target side.
But writing a software/memory breakpoint nowadays goes through
target_write_raw_memory, and unlike when writing memory with
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY, nothing on the TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY path
checks whether we're trying to write to a read-only region.
At the time "breakpoint auto-hw" was added, we didn't have the
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY vs TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY target object
distinction yet, and the code path in memory_xfer_partial that blocks
writes to read-only memory was hit for memory breakpoints too. With
GDB 6.8 we had:
warning: cannot set software breakpoint at readonly address 0000000000443943
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x443943: Input/output error.
So I started out by fixing this by adding the memory region validation
to TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY too.
But later, when testing against GDBserver, I realized that that would
only block software/memory breakpoints GDB itself inserts with
gdb/mem-break.c. If a target has a to_insert_breakpoint method, the
insertion request will still pass through to the target. So I ended
up converting the "cannot set breakpoint" warning in breakpoint.c to a
real error return, thus blocking the insertion sooner.
With that, we'll end up no longer needing the TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY
changes once software single-step breakpoints are converted to real
breakpoints. We need them today as software single-step breakpoints
bypass insert_bp_location. But, it'll be best to leave that in as
safeguard anyway, for other direct uses of TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY.

the test script invokes ldd (on host) for the target libraries, which
is wrong. ldd can't be cross because it invokes dynamic linker with
LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS and gets the dependent libraries. My first
reaction to this problem is to execute ld.so on the target (like
remote_exec target). When I start to hack proc build_executable_own_libs,
I find it has assumptions here and there that the native testing is
performed. Then I check the callers of build_executable_own_libs,
and they are all skipped if isnative is false. It is reasonable to do
the same in dlopen-libpthread.exp too.

By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.

This patch is to extend dw2-var-zero-add.exp to cover the case that
partial symtabl is not used while full symtab is used, in order to
cover the changes in patch 2/3. This patch restarts GDB with
--readnow and does the same test again.

I see the following fail on arm-none-eabi target,
(gdb) b 24^M
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4: file
../../../../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.cc,
line 24.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.exp: b 24
Currently, we are using flag has_section_at_zero to determine whether
address zero in debug info means the corresponding code has been
GC'ed, like this:
case DW_LNE_set_address:
address = read_address (abfd, line_ptr, cu, &bytes_read);
if (address == 0 && !dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero)
{
/* This line table is for a function which has been
GCd by the linker. Ignore it. PR gdb/12528 */
However, this is incorrect on some bare metal targets, as .text
section is located at 0x0, so dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero
is true. If a function is GC'ed by linker, the address is zero. GDB
thinks address zero is a function's address rather than this function
is GC'ed.
In this patch, we choose 'lowpc' got in read_file_scope to check
whether 'lowpc' is greater than zero. If it isn't, address zero really
means the function is GC'ed. In this patch, we pass 'lowpc' in
read_file_scope through handle_DW_AT_stmt_list and dwarf_decode_lines,
and to dwarf_decode_lines_1 finally.
This patch fixes the fail above. This patch also covers the path that
partial symbol isn't used, which is tested by starting gdb with
--readnow option.
It is regression tested on x86-linux with
target_board=dwarf4-gdb-index, and arm-none-eabi. OK to apply?

This is just a testcase addition that I am proposing for upstream GDB.
We have this in our internal tree, and the related RH bug is:

This bug is about a global variable that got incorrectly displayed by
GDB. This bug has already been fixed a long time ago by Joel's
commit:
commit 19630284f5

But I think a testcase for it wouldn't hurt.
So, consider the following scenario:
$ cat solib1.c
int test;
void c_main (void)
{
test = 42;
}
$ cat solib2.c
int test;
void b_main (void)
{
test = 42;
}
$ cat main.c
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
c_main ();
b_main ();
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO1.so -c solib1.c
$ gcc -g -fPIC -shared -o libSO2.so -c solib2.c
$ gcc -g -o main -L$PWD -lSO1 -lSO2 main.c
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
...
$1 = 0
This happened with GDB before Joel's commit above. Now, things work
and GDB is able to correctly display the nested global variable:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb -q -batch -ex 'b c_main' -ex r -ex n -ex 'p test' ./main
...
$1 = 42
The testcase attached tests this behavior.

* gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: Pass string other than test file
name to prepare_for_testing.
(watch): New procedure.
(expect_watchpoint): Use with_test_prefix.
(top level): Factor out tests to ...
(test_watch_location, test_regular_watch): ... these new
procedures, and use with_test_prefix and gdb_continue_to_end.
PR 12526 reports that -location watchpoints against bitfield arguments
trigger false positives when bits around the bitfield, but not the
bitfield itself, are modified.
This happens because -location watchpoints naturally operate at the
byte level, not at the bit level. When the address of a bitfield
lvalue is taken, information about the bitfield (i.e. its offset and
size) is lost in the process.
This information must first be retained throughout the lifetime of the
-location watchpoint. This patch achieves this by adding two new
fields to the watchpoint struct: val_bitpos and val_bitsize. These
fields are set when a watchpoint is first defined in watch_command_1.
They are both equal to zero if the watchpoint is not a -location
watchpoint or if the argument is not a bitfield.
Then these bitfield parameters are used inside update_watchpoint and
watchpoint_check to extract the actual value of the bitfield from the
watchpoint address, with the help of a local helper function
extract_bitfield_from_watchpoint_value.
Finally when creating a HW breakpoint pointing to a bitfield, we
optimize the address and length of the breakpoint. By skipping over
the bytes that don't cover the bitfield, this step reduces the
frequency at which a read watchpoint for the bitfield is triggered.
It also reduces the number of times a false-positive call to
check_watchpoint is triggered for a write watchpoint.
