Consider the following variable declaration:
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
Var: Array_Type (0 .. -1);
"ptype var" prints the wrong upper bound for that array:
(gdb) ptype var
type = array (0 .. 4294967295) of integer
The debugging info for the type of variable "Var" is as follow:
<2><cf>: Abbrev Number: 13 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<d0> DW_AT_name : foo__var___PAD
<3><db>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_member)
<dc> DW_AT_name : F
<e0> DW_AT_type : <0xa5>
This is just an artifact from code generation, which is just
a wrapper that we should ignore. The real type is the type of
field "F" in that PAD type, which is described as:
<2><a5>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<a6> DW_AT_name : foo__TvarS
<3><b6>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<b7> DW_AT_type : <0xc1>
<bb> DW_AT_lower_bound : 0
<bc> DW_AT_upper_bound : 0xffffffff
Trouble occurs because DW_AT_upper_bound is encoded using
a DW_FORM_data4, which is ambiguous regarding signedness.
In that case, dwarf2read.c::dwarf2_get_attr_constant_value
reads the value as unsigned, which is not what we want
in this case.
As it happens, we already have code dealing with this situation
in dwarf2read.c::read_subrange_type which checks whether
the subrange's type is signed or not, and if it is, fixes
the bound's value by sign-extending it:
if (high.kind == PROP_CONST
&& !TYPE_UNSIGNED (base_type) && (high.data.const_val & negative_mask))
high.data.const_val |= negative_mask;
Unfortunately, what happens in our case is that the base type
of the array's subrange type is marked as being unsigned, and
so we never get to apply the sign extension. Following the DWARF
trail, the range's base type is described as another subrange type...
<2><c1>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<c7> DW_AT_name : foo__TTvarSP1___XDLU_0__1m
<cb> DW_AT_type : <0x2d>
... whose base type is, (finally), a basic type (signed):
<1><2d>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<2e> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<2f> DW_AT_encoding : 5 (signed)
<30> DW_AT_name : integer
The reason why GDB thinks that foo__TTvarSP1___XDLU_0__1m
(the base type of the array's range type) is an unsigned type
is found in gdbtypes.c::create_range_type. We consider that
a range type is unsigned iff its lower bound is >= 0:
if (low_bound->kind == PROP_CONST && low_bound->data.const_val >= 0)
TYPE_UNSIGNED (result_type) = 1;
That is normally sufficient, as one would expect the upper bound to
always be greater or equal to the lower bound. But Ada actually
allows the declaration of empty range types where the upper bound
is less than the lower bound. In this case, the upper bound is
negative, so we should not be marking the type as unsigned.
This patch fixes the issue by simply checking the upper bound as well
as the lower bound, and clears the range type's unsigned flag when
it is found to be constant and negative.

This patch intends to partially fix PR breakpoints/10737, which is
about making the syscall information (for the "catch syscall" command)
be per-arch, instead of global. This is not a full fix because of the
other issues pointed by Pedro here:
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10737#c5>
However, I consider it a good step towards the real fix. It will also
help me fix <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17402>.
What this patch does, basically, is move the "syscalls_info"
struct to gdbarch. Currently, the syscall information is stored in a
global variable inside gdb/xml-syscall.c, which means that there is no
easy way to correlate this info with the current target or
architecture being used, for example. This causes strange behaviors,
because the syscall info is not re-read when the arch changes. For
example, if you put a syscall catchpoint in syscall 5 on i386 (syscall
open), and then load a x86_64 program on GDB and put the same syscall
5 there (fstat on x86_64), you will still see that GDB tells you that
it is catching "open", even though it is not. With this patch, GDB
correctly says that it will be catching fstat syscalls.
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'open' [5])
But with the patch:
(gdb) set architecture i386
The target architecture is assumed to be i386
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 1 (syscall 'open' [5])
(gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64
The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64
(gdb) catch syscall 5
Catchpoint 2 (syscall 'fstat' [5])
As I said, there are still some problems on the "catch syscall"
mechanism, because (for example) the user should be able to "catch
syscall open" on i386, and then expect "open" to be caught also on
x86_64. Currently, it doesn't work. I intend to work on this later.

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.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/maint.exp: Update expected output.
Jan noticed that gdb.ada/arrayidx.exp regressed after I applied
the following patch:
commit 8908fca577
Author: Joel Brobecker <brobecker@adacore.com>
Date: Sat Sep 27 09:09:34 2014 -0700
Subject: [Ada] Ignore __XA types when redundant.
What happens is that we're trying to print the value of
r_two_three, which is defined as follow:
type Index is (One, Two, Three);
type RTable is array (Index range Two .. Three) of Integer;
R_Two_Three : RTable := (2, 3);
The expected output is:
(gdb) p r_two_three
$1 = (two => 2, 3)
But after the patch above was applied, with the program program
compiled using gcc-gnat-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64 (x86_64-linux),
the output becomes:
(gdb) p r_two_three
$1 = (2, 3)
(the name of the first bound is missing). The problem comes from
the fact that the compiler described the array's index type as
a plain base type, instead of as a subrange of the enumerated type.
More particularly, this is what gcc-gnat-4.9.2-1.fc21.x86_64
generated:
<3><7ce>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<7cf> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xc13): p__rtable
[...]
<7d7> DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type: <0x98a>
[...]
<4><7df>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<7e0> DW_AT_type : <0xa79>
where DIE 0xa79 is:
<1><a79>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_base_type)
<a7a> DW_AT_byte_size : 8
<a7b> DW_AT_encoding : 7 (unsigned)
<a7c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xfc): sizetype
The actual array subrange type can be found in the array's
parallel XA type (the DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type).
The recent commit correctly found that that bounds taken from
the descriptive type are the same as bounds of our array's index
type. But it failed to notice that ignoring this descriptive
type would make us lose the actual array index type, making us
think that we're printing an array indexed by integers.
I hadn't seen that problem, because the compiler I used produced
debugging info where the array's index type is correctly described:
<3><79f>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<7a0> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb3d): p__rtable
[...]
<4><7b0>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<7b1> DW_AT_type : <0x9b2>
<7b5> DW_AT_upper_bound : 2
... where DIE 0x9b2 leads us to ...
<3><9b2>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<9b8> DW_AT_type : <0x962>
<2><962>: Abbrev Number: 22 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<963> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xb34): p__index
[...]
This patch fixes the issue by also making sure that the subtype
of the original range type does match the subtype found in the
descriptive type.

The bp-permanent test case assumes that a NOP is exactly as long as a
software breakpoint. This is not the case for the S390 "nop"
instruction, which is 4 bytes long, while a software breakpoint is
just 2 bytes long. The "nopr" instruction has the right size and can
be used instead.
Without this patch the test case fails on S390 when trying to continue
after SIGTRAP on the permanent breakpoint:
...

Using the example in gdb.ada/complete.exp, the following command
on x86_64-windows returns one unwanted completion choice :
(gdb) complete p pck
p <pck_E>>
[all following completions entries snipped, all expected]
I tracked down this suprising entry to a minimal symbol whose name
is ".refptr.pck_E". The problem occurs while trying to see if
this symbol matches "pck" when doing wild-matching as we are doing
here:
/* Second: Try wild matching... */
if (!match && wild_match_p)
{
/* Since we are doing wild matching, this means that TEXT
may represent an unqualified symbol name. We therefore must
also compare TEXT against the unqualified name of the symbol. */
sym_name = ada_unqualified_name (ada_decode (sym_name));
if (strncmp (sym_name, text, text_len) == 0)
match = 1;
}
What happens is that ada_decode correctly identifies the fact that
SYM_NAME (".refptr.pck_E") is not following any GNAT encoding, and
therefore returns that same name, but bracketed: "<.refptr.pck_E>".
This is the convention we use for telling GDB that the decoded name
is not a real Ada name - and therefore should not be encoded for
operations such as name matching, symbol lookups, etc. So far, so good.
Next is the call to ada_unqualified_name, which unfortunately does
not notice that the decoded name it is being given isn't a natural
symbol, and just blindly strips everything up to the last do, returning
"pck_E>". And of course, "pck_E>" matches "pck" now, and so we end
up accepting this symbol as a match.
This patch fixes the problem by making ada_unqualified_name a little
smarter by making sure that the given decoded symbol name does not
start with '<'.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unqualified_name): Return DECODED_NAME if
it starts with '<'.
Tested on x86_64-windows using AdaCore's testsuite as well as

Consider the following code which declares a variable A2 which
is an array of arrays of integers.
type Array2_First is array (24 .. 26) of Integer;
type Array2_Second is array (1 .. 2) of Array2_First;
A1 : Array1_Second := ((10, 11, 12), (13, 14, 15));
Trying to print the type of that variable currently yields:
(gdb) ptype A2
type = array (1 .. 2, 24 .. 26) of integer
This is not correct, as this is the description of a two-dimension
array, which is different from an array of arrays. The expected
output is:
(gdb) ptype a2
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo_n926_029.array2_first
GDB's struct type currently handles multi-dimension arrays the same
way arrays of arrays, where each dimension is stored as a sub-array.
The ada-valprint module considers that consecutive array layers
are in fact multi-dimension arrays. For array of arrays, a typedef
layer is introduced between the two arrays, creating a break between
each array type.
In our situation, A2 is a described as a typedef of an array type...
.uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x125) DW_TAG_variable)
.ascii "a2\0" # DW_AT_name
.long 0xfc # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xfc) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF5 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_second"
.long 0x107 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x5 # (DIE (0x107) DW_TAG_array_type)

.uleb128 0x6 # (DIE (0x114) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x11b # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x2 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x107
... whose element type is, as expected, a typedef to the sub-array
type:
.uleb128 0x4 # (DIE (0xb4) DW_TAG_typedef)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first"
.long 0xbf # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0xbf) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF4 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first"
.long 0xd8 # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type
.long 0x1c5 # DW_AT_type
.uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xd0) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0xf0 # DW_AT_type
.byte 0x18 # DW_AT_lower_bound
.byte 0x1a # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0xbf
The reason why things fails is that, during expression evaluation,
GDB tries to "fix" A1's type. Because the sub-array has a parallel
(descriptive) type (DIE 0xd8), GDB thinks that our array's index
type must be dynamic and therefore needs to be fixed. This in turn
causes the sub-array to be "fixed", which itself results in the
typedef layer to be stripped.
However, looking closer at the parallel type, we see...
.uleb128 0xb # (DIE (0xd8) DW_TAG_structure_type)
.long .LASF8 # DW_AT_name: "foo__array2_first___XA"
[...]
.uleb128 0xc # (DIE (0xe4) DW_TAG_member)
.long .LASF10 # DW_AT_name: "foo__Tarray2_firstD1___XDLU_24__26"
... that all it tells us is that the array bounds are 24 and 26,
which is already correctly provided by the array's DW_TAG_subrange_type
bounds, meaning that this parallel type is just redundant.
Parallel types in general are slowly being removed in favor of
standard DWARF constructs. But in the meantime, this patch kills
two birds with one stone:
1. It recognizes this situation where the XA type is useless,
and saves an unnecessary range-type fixing;
2. It fixes the issue at hand because ignoring the XA type results
in no type fixing being required, which allows the typedef layer
to be preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_is_redundant_range_encoding): New function.
(ada_is_redundant_index_type_desc): New function.
(to_fixed_array_type): Ignore parallel XA type if redundant.

... when that packed array is part of a discriminated record and
one of the bounds is a discriminant.
Consider the following code:
type FUNNY_CHAR_T is (NUL, ' ', '"', '#', [etc]);
type FUNNY_STR_T is array (POSITIVE range <>) of FUNNY_CHAR_T;
pragma PACK (FUNNY_STR_T);
type FUNNY_STRING_T (SIZE : NATURAL := 1) is
record
STR : FUNNY_STR_T (1 .. SIZE) := (others => '0');
LENGTH : NATURAL := 4;
end record;
TEST: FUNNY_STRING_T(100);
GDB is able to print the value of variable "test" and "test.str".
But not "test.str(1)":
(gdb) p test
$1 = (size => 100, str => (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>), length => 1)
(gdb) p test.str
$2 = (33 'A', nul <repeats 99 times>)
(gdb) p test.str(1)
object size is larger than varsize-limit
The problem occurs during the phase where we are trying to resolve
the expression subscript operation. On the one hand of the subscript
operator, we have the result of the evaluation of "test.str", which
is our packed array. We have the following code to handle packed
arrays in particular:
if (ada_is_constrained_packed_array_type
(desc_base_type (value_type (argvec[0]))))
argvec[0] = ada_coerce_to_simple_array (argvec[0]);
This eventually leads to a call to constrained_packed_array_type
to return the "simple array". This function relies on a parallel
___XA type, when available, to determine the bounds. In our case,
we find type...
failure__funny_string_t__T4b___XA"
... which has one field describing the bounds of our array as:
failure__funny_string_t__T3b___XDLU_1__size
The part that interests us is after the ___XD suffix or,
in other words: "LU_1__size". What this means in GNAT encoding
parlance is that the lower bound is 1, and that the upper bound
is the value of "size". "size" is our discriminant in this case.
Normally, we would access the record's discriminant in order to
get the upper bound's value, but we do not have that information,
here. We are in a mode where we are just trying to "fix" the type
without an actual value. This is what the call to to_fixed_range_type
is doing, and because the fix'ing fails, it ends up returning
the ___XDLU type unmodified as our index type.
This shouldn't be a problem, except that the later part of
constrained_packed_array_type then uses that index_type to
determine the array size, via a call to get_discrete_bounds.
The problem is that the upper bound of the ___XDLU type is
dynamic (in the DWARF sense) while get_discrete_bounds implicitly
assumes that the bounds are static, and therefore accesses
them using macros that assume the bounds values are constants:
case TYPE_CODE_RANGE:
*lowp = TYPE_LOW_BOUND (type);
*highp = TYPE_HIGH_BOUND (type);
This therefore returns a bogus value for the upper bound,
leading to an unexpectedly large size for our array, which
later triggers the varsize-limit guard we've seen above.
This patch avoids the problem by adding special handling
of dynamic range types. It also extends the documentation
of the constrained_packed_array_type function to document
what happens in this situation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (constrained_packed_array_type): Set the length
of the return array as if both bounds where zero if that

This patch is conceptually quite simple.
If you look at end_symtab_from_static_block you'll see
that the static_block == NULL case is completely different
than the non-NULL case.
There's a lot of complexity to handle the NULL case but it seems
entirely unnecessary. For example, whether blockvector is NULL
is decided at the start, before this for loop:
for (subfile = subfiles; subfile; subfile = nextsub)
Secondly, after the for loop, we test symtab for non-NULL here:
/* Set this for the main source file. */
if (symtab)
but symtab will only ever be non-NULL if blockvector was non-NULL.
And if blockvector was non_NULL so will symtab.
The other case to consider is these lines of code executed before
the for loop:
/* Read the line table if it has to be read separately.
This is only used by xcoffread.c. */
if (objfile->sf->sym_read_linetable != NULL)
objfile->sf->sym_read_linetable (objfile);
/* Handle the case where the debug info specifies a different path
for the main source file. It can cause us to lose track of its
line number information. */
watch_main_source_file_lossage ();
From my reading of the code, neither of these is useful
in the static_block == NULL case.
Thus we can make the code more readable by splitting these two cases up,
which is what this patch does.

They happen for two reasons.
- mingw32 does not define SIGTRAP, so upon recording a core file, the
signal information will be missing, which in turn causes GDB to not
display the stopping signal when it loads the same core file. An
earlier message warns about this:
"warning: Signal SIGTRAP does not exist on this system."
- The testcase is crafted in a way that expects a pattern of the
stopping signal message instead of a successful core file read message.
The following patch fixes this by changing the old pattern to a more
reasonable one, while still ignoring the fact that mingw32-based GDB
does not record a SIGTRAP in a core file because it does not define
it.

And, of course, trying to continue yielded the expected outcome:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
warning: Error removing breakpoint 1
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.
Further execution is probably impossible.
It turns out that the problem is caused by an intentional test
against a variable with an undefined value. After GDB receives
notification of the inferior stopping, it tries to remove the
breakpoint by sending a memory-write packet ("X10844,4:9 ").
This leads us to lynx_write_memory, where it tries to split
the memory-write into chunks of 4 bytes. And, in order to handle
writes which are not aligned on word boundaries, we have the
following code:
if (skip > 0 || truncate > 0)
/* We need to read the memory at this address in order to preserve
the data that we are not overwriting. */
lynx_read_memory (addr, (unsigned char *) &buf, xfer_size);
if (errno)
return errno;
(the comment explains what the code is about).
Unfortunately, the not-so-glaring error that we've made here is
that we're checking ERRNO regardless of whether we've called
lynx_read_memory. In our case, because we are writing 4 bytes
aligned on a word boundary, we do not call lynx_read_memory and
therefore test an ERRNO with an undefined value.

* lynx-low.c (lynx_write_memory): Put lynx_read_memory and

When trying to build gdbserver on ppc-lynx178, the compiler reports
while trying to compile gdbserver/ax.c that vsprintf is not declared.
Looking at my C99 reference manual (a draft), I see the following
synopsis:
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int vsprintf(char * restrict s, [etc]);
Looking at stdio.h on LynxOS-178, if found where vsprintf gets
declared:
#if defined(__varargs_h) || defined(__stdarg_h) \
|| defined(_VARARGS_H) || defined(_STDARG_H)
extern int vsprintf _AP((char *, const char *, va_list));
#endif
Digging further, I noticed that common-defs.h, which is included
via server.h, includes stdarg.h after including stdio, explaining
why vsprintf does not get declared in this case.
This patch fixes the problem by including stdarg.h before stdio.h.

We're currently pulling gnulib's errno module as a dependency of some
other module. That provides an errno.h that defines EILSEQ to a
distinct value if the system's errno.h doesn't define it already.
However, GNU iconv does this:
/* Get errno declaration and values. */
#include <errno.h>
/* Some systems, like SunOS 4, don't have EILSEQ. Some systems, like BSD/OS,
have EILSEQ in a different header. On these systems, define EILSEQ
ourselves. */
#ifndef EILSEQ
#define EILSEQ @EILSEQ@
#endif
That's in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libiconv.git/tree/include/iconv.h.in
The "different header" mentioned is wchar.h. This is handled in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libiconv.git/tree/m4/eilseq.m4
which defines @EILSEQ@ to ENOENT if EILSEQ isn't found in either
errno.h or wchar.h.
So if iconv sets errno to EILSEQ on such system's, it's really setting
it to ENOENT. And when we check for EILSEQ, we're checking for
gnulib's value. The result is we won't detect the error correctly.
As we dropped support for both SunOS 4 or old BSD/OS, maybe we don't
need to care about the wchar.h issue anymore. Still, AFAICS, gnulib's
m4/errno_h.m4 doesn't know that EILSEQ may be defined in wchar.h, and
so on such systems, ISTM gnulib ends up defining an incompatible
EILSEQ itself, but I think that should be fixed on the gnulib side, by
making it extract the EILSEQ value out of the system's wchar.h, like
GNU iconv does.
So that leaves handling the case of gnulib making up a EILSEQ value,
which we take as meaning the system really doesn't really define it,
which will be the same systems GNU iconv sets errno to ENOENT instead
of EILSEQ.
Looking at glibc's iconv it seems that ENOENT is never used there.
It seems it's safe to always treat ENOENT the same as EILSEQ.
The current EILSEQ definition under PHONY_ICONV is obviously stale as
gnulib garantees there's always a EILSEQ defined.

* gdb.dwarf2/dwz.exp: Remove the code to compile main.c to
object and get function length.
(Dwarf::assemble): Replace name, low_pc and high_pc attributes
with MACRO_AT_func.
(top-level): Replace gdb_compile and clean_restart with
prepare_for_testing.
* gdb.dwarf2/main.c (main): Add label main_label.
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.

Remove old-style function header variants from list0.h and list1.c.
Fill the removed lines with comments or empty lines, such that the
line numbering is undisturbed. Changes to the line numbering would
require heavy adjustments to list.exp, where many line numbers are
hard-coded, as well as a fair amount of knowledge about the source
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
straightforward as it may seem, since the test case expects certain
source lines to be exactly n lines apart.

As no place in the backends check cont_thread anymore, we can stop
setting and clearing it in places that resume the target and wait for
events. Instead simply clear it whenever a new GDB connects.

(captured_main): Clear cont_thread each time a GDB connects.
There's code in linux_wait_1 that resumes all threads if the Hc thread
disappears. It's the wrong thing to do, as GDB has told GDBserver to
resume only one thread, because e.g., the user has scheduler-locking
enabled, or because GDB was stepping the program over a breakpoint.
Resuming all threads behind GDB's back can't be good in either case.
The right thing to do is to detect that that the (only) resumed thread
is gone, and let GDB know about it. The Linux backend is already
doing that nowadays, since:
commit fa96cb382c
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Feb 27 14:30:08 2014 +0000
Teach GDBserver's Linux backend about no unwaited-for children (TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED).
The backend detects that all resumed threads have disappeared, and
returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED to the core of GDBserver, which
then reports an error to GDB.
There's no need to frob the passed in ptid to wait for the continue
thread either -- linux_wait_for_event only returns events for resumed
threads.
The badness (of resuming threads) can actually be observed in the
testsuite, if we force-disable vCont support in GDBserver -- before
the patch, gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp hangs if we disable
vCont:
(gdb) continue

FAIL: gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: continue to breakpoint: break-here (timeout)

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Don't force a wait for the Hc
thread, and don't resume all threads if the Hc thread has exited.
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
Breakpoint 2 at 0x804848c
(gdb) c

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.

"permanent"-ness is currently a property of the breakpoint. But, it
should actually be an implementation detail of a _location_. Consider
this bit in infrun.c:
/* 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)
{
if (gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint_p (gdbarch))
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
else
error (_("\
The program is stopped at a permanent breakpoint, but GDB does not know\n\
how to step past a permanent breakpoint on this architecture. Try using\n\
a command like `return' or `jump' to continue execution."));
}
This will wrongly skip a non-breakpoint instruction if we have a
multiple location breakpoint where the whole breakpoint was set to
"permanent" because one of the locations happened to be permanent,
even if the one GDB is resuming from is not.
Related, because the permanent breakpoints are only marked as such in
init_breakpoint_sal, we currently miss marking momentary breakpoints
as permanent. A test added by a following patch trips on that.
Making permanent-ness be per-location, and marking locations as such
in add_location_to_breakpoint, the natural place to do this, fixes
this issue...
... and then exposes a latent issue with mark_breakpoints_out. It's
clearing the inserted flag of permanent breakpoints. This results in
assertions failing like this:
Breakpoint 1, main () at testsuite/gdb.base/callexit.c:32
32 return 0;
(gdb) call callexit()
[Inferior 1 (process 15849) exited normally]
gdb/breakpoint.c:12854: internal-error: allegedly permanent breakpoint is not actually inserted
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
The call dummy breakpoint, which is a momentary breakpoint, is set on
top of a manually inserted breakpoint instruction, and so is now
rightfully marked as a permanent breakpoint. See "Write a legitimate
instruction at the point where the infcall breakpoint is going to be
inserted." comment in infcall.c.
Re. make_breakpoint_permanent. That's only called by solib-pa64.c.
Permanent breakpoints were actually originally invented for HP-UX [1].
I believe that that call (the only one in the tree) is unnecessary
nowadays, given that nowadays the core breakpoints code analyzes the
instruction under the breakpoint to automatically detect whether it's
setting a breakpoint on top of a breakpoint instruction in the
program. I know close to nothing about HP-PA/HP-UX, though.
[1] https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/1999-q3/msg00245.html, and
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/1999-q3/msg00242.html
In addition to the per-location issue, "permanent breakpoints" are
currently always displayed as enabled=='n':
(gdb) b main

But OTOH they're always enabled; there's no way to disable them...
In turn, this means that if one adds commands to such a breakpoint,
they're _always_ run:
(gdb) start

IMO, one should be able to disable such a breakpoint, and GDB should
then behave just like if the user hadn't created the breakpoint in the
first place (that is, report a SIGTRAP).
By making permanent-ness a property of the location, and eliminating
the bp_permanent enum enable_state state ends up fixing that as well.
No tests are added for these changes yet; they'll be added in a follow
up patch, as skipping permanent breakpoints is currently broken and
trips on an assertion in infrun.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2014-11-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Mark locations as permanent, not the whole breakpoint.
* breakpoint.c (remove_breakpoint_1, remove_breakpoint): Adjust.

(make_breakpoint_permanent): Mark each location as permanent,

(init_breakpoint_sal): Don't make the breakpoint permanent here.
(bp_location_compare, update_global_location_list): Adjust.
(update_breakpoint_locations): Don't make the breakpoint permanent

* breakpoint.h (enum enable_state) <bp_permanent>: Delete field.
(struct bp_location) <permanent>: New field.
* guile/scm-breakpoint.c (bpscm_enable_state_to_string): Remove
reference to bp_permanent.
breakpoint.c uses gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc to determine whether a
breakpoint location points at a permanent breakpoint:
static int
bp_loc_is_permanent (struct bp_location *loc)
{
...
addr = loc->address;
bpoint = gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc (loc->gdbarch, &addr, &len);
...
if (target_read_memory (loc->address, target_mem, len) == 0
&& memcmp (target_mem, bpoint, len) == 0)
retval = 1;
...
So I think we should default the gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint
hook to advancing the PC by the length of the breakpoint instruction,
as determined by gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc. I believe that simple
implementation does the right thing for most architectures. If
there's an oddball architecture where that doesn't work, then it
should override the hook, just like it should be overriding the hook
if there was no default anyway.
The only two implementation of skip_permanent_breakpoint are
i386_skip_permanent_breakpoint, for x86, and
hppa_skip_permanent_breakpoint, for PA-RISC/HP-UX
The x86 implementation is trivial, and can clearly be replaced by the
new default.
I don't know about the HP-UX one though, I know almost nothing about
PA. It may well be advancing the PC ends up being equivalent.
Otherwise, it must be that "jump $pc_after_bp" doesn't work either...

Linux supports multiple "PID namespaces". Processes in different PID
namespaces have different views of the system process list. Sometimes,
a single process can appear in more than one PID namespace, but with a
different PID in each. When GDB and its target are in different PID
namespaces, various features can break due to the mismatch between
what the target believes its PID to be and what GDB believes its PID
to be. The most visible broken functionality is thread enumeration
silently failing.
This patch explicitly warns users against trying to debug across PID
namespaces.
The patch introduced no new failures in my test suite run on an x86_64
installation of Ubuntu 14.10. It doesn't include a test: writing an
automated test that exercises this code would be very involved because
CLONE_NEWNS requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN; the easier way to reproduce the

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.

A recent change to eval.c triggered a GCC bug that causes a false positive
"may be used uninitialized" warning in evaluate_subexp_standard. This seems
to be triggered by a specific CFG constructed via setjmp and gotos.
While the GCC bug is in the process of being fixed, there are released
compiler versions (in particular GCC 4.9) in the field that show this
problem. In order to allow compiling GDB with one of those compilers,
this commit slightly reworks the CFG (in an equivalent way) of the
affected function, so that the GCC bug is no longer triggered.

Running gdb.base/sigstep.exp with --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu on a
64-bit kernel naturally trips on PR gdb/17511 as well, given this is a
kernel bug.
I haven't really tested a real 32-bit kernel/machine, but given the
code in question in the kernel is shared between 32-bit and 64-bit,
I'm quite sure the bug triggers in those cases as well.
So, simply xfail i?86-*-linux* too.

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.

During armv7b testing gdb.base/store.exp test was failling with
'GDB internal error' with the following message:
Temporary breakpoint 1, wack_double (u=
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:177: internal-error: register_size: Assertion `regnum >= 0 && regnum < (gdbarch_num_regs (gdbarch) + gdbarch_num_pseudo_regs (gdbarch))' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
It turns out that compiler generated DWARF with non-existent
register numbers. The compiler issue is present in both little endian
(armv7) and big endian (armv7b) (it is separate issue). Here is
example for one of formal parameters of wack_double function:
<2><792>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
<793> DW_AT_name : u
<795> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<796> DW_AT_decl_line : 115
<797> DW_AT_type : <0x57c>
<79b> DW_AT_location : 6 byte block: 6d 93 4 6c 93 4 (DW_OP_reg29 (r29); DW_OP_piece: 4; DW_OP_reg28 (r28); DW_OP_piece: 4)
In both big and little endian cases gdbarch_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum
returns -1 which is stored into gdb_regnum. But it causes severe
problem only in big endian case because in read_pieced_value and
write_pieced_value functions BFD_ENDIAN_BIG related processing
happen regardless of gdb_regnum value, for example register_size
function is called and in case of gdb_regnum=-1, it cause
'GDB internal error' and crash.
Solution is to move BFD_ENDIAN_BIG related processing under
(gdb_regnum != -1) branch of processing.

tdep->arm_breakpoint, tdep->thumb_breakpoint, tdep->thumb2_breakpoint
should be set le_ variants in case of arm BE8 code. Those instruciton
sequences are writen to target with simple write_memory, without
regarding gdbarch_byte_order_for_code. But in BE8 case even data
memory is in big endian form, instructions are still in little endian
form.
Because of this issue there are many issues while running gdb test
case in armv7b mode. For example gdb.arch/arm-disp-step.exp test fails
because it gets SIGILL when displaced instrucion sequence reaches
break instruction, which is in wrong byte order.
Solution is to set tdep->xxx_breakpoint sequences in BE8 case (i.e
when gdbarch_byte_order_for_code is BFD_ENDIAN_BIG.

extract_arm_insn function needs to read instructions in

Currently function uses gdbarch_byte_order which would be
big endian in armv7b case.
Because of this issue pretty much all gdb.reverse/ tests are
failing with 'Process record does not support instruction' message.
Fix is to change gdbarch_byte_order to gdbarch_byte_order_for_code,
when passed to extract_unsigned_integer that reads instruction.

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
gdb.base/realname-expand.exp it eliminates two failures. For
gdb.linespec/macro-relative.exp it prevents file macro-relative.c
from being left in gdb/testsuite/gdb.linespec/base/two.

In gdb/command/prompt.py:before_prompt_hook, the '\' in the new prompt
is replaced with '\\', shown as below,

> if self.value is not '':
> newprompt = gdb.prompt.substitute_prompt(self.value)
> return newprompt.replace('\\', '\\\\')
> else:
> return None
I don't see any explanations on this in comments nor email. As doc
said, "set extended-prompt \w" substitute the current working
directory, but it prints something different from what pwd or
os.getcwdu() prints on mingw32 host.
(gdb) python print os.getcwdu()^M
\\build2-lucid-cs\yqi\yqi\arm-none-eabi
(gdb) pwd^M
Working directory \\build2-lucid-cs\yqi\yqi\arm-none-eabi
(gdb) set extended-prompt \w
\\\\build2-lucid-cs\\yqi\\yqi\\arm-none-eabi
This makes me think whether the substitution in before_prompt_hook is
necessary or not. This patch is to remove this substitution.
Run gdb.python on x86_64-linux and arm-none-eabi on mingw32 host. No
regressions.

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: 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.
I think a simpler and more directed test is also useful, to not rely
on internal breakpoint magics. So this commit also adds a test that
has a thread trip on a conditional breakpoint that doesn't cause a
user-visible stop while another thread is stepping over a call. That
currently fails like this:

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 input handler callback.
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.

We are trying to insert a breakpoint on line 4 for the following
Ada code.
3 procedure STR is
4 XX : String (1 .. Blocks.Sz) := (others => 'X'); -- STOP
5 K : Integer;
6 begin
7 K := 13;
The code generated on ARM (-march=armv7-m) starts like this:
(gdb) disass str'address
Dump of assembler code for function _ada_str:
--# Line str.adb:3
0x08000014 <+0>: push {r4, r7, lr}
0x08000016 <+2>: sub sp, #28

0x08000022 <+14>: str r3, [r7, #20]
0x08000024 <+16>: ldr r3, [r7, #20]
[...]
When computing the address related to str.adb:4, GDB correctly
resolves it to 0x0800001e first, but then considers the next
3 instructions as being part of the prologue because it thinks
they are part of stack-protector code. As a result, instead
of inserting the breakpoint at line 4, it skips those instruction
and consequently the rest of the instructions until the start
of the next line, which his line 7.
The stack-protector code is expected to start like this...
ldr Rn, .Label
....
.Lable:
.word __stack_chk_guard
... but the implementation actually accepts a sequence where
the ldr location points to an address for which there is no symbol.
It only aborts if the address points to a symbol which is not
__stack_chk_guard.
Since the __stack_chk_guard symbol is always expected to exist
when used (it lives in .dynsym), this patch fixes the issue by
requiring that the ldr gets the address of the __stack_chk_guard
symbol. If the address could not be resolved, then it rejects
the sequence as being stack-protector code.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_stack_protector): Return early if
address loaded by first "ldr" instruction does not have
a corresponding minimal symbol. Update comment.

This patch fixes the bug in my patch skipping stack protector
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-12/msg00110.html
In my skipping stack protector patch, I misunderstood the constant vs.
immediate on instruction encodings, and treated immediate as constant
by mistake. The instruction 'ldr Rd, [PC, #immed]' loads the
address of __stack_chk_guard to Rd, and #immed is an offset from PC.
We should get the __stack_chk_guard from *(pc + #immed).
As a result of this mistake, arm_analyze_load_stack_chk_guard returns
the wrong address of __stack_chk_guard, and the symbol
__stack_chk_guard can't be found. However, we continue to match the
following instructions when symbol isn't found, so the code still
works. In other words, the code just matches the instruction pattern
without checking __stack_chk_guard symbol correctly.
Joel's patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00605.html>
makes the heuristics stricter that we stop matching instructions if
symbol __stack_chk_guard isn't found. Then the bug is exposed. This
patch is to correct the load address computation for ldr instruction,
and it fixes some fails in gdb.mi/gdb792.exp on armv4t both arm and
thumb mode.

* arm-tdep.c (arm_analyze_load_stack_chk_guard): Compute the
loaded address correctly of ldr instruction.
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.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

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

(gdb)
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
than ideal.
- 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.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00652.html, Sandra
shows a target that was broken by the recent update_thread_list
optimization:
(gdb) target remote qa8-centos32-cs:10514
...
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command without a live selected thread.
(gdb)
The error means that the current thread is in "exited" state when the
continue command is processed. The root of the problem was found
here:
> Sending packet: $Hg0#df...Packet received:
...
> Sending packet: $?#3f...Packet received: S00
> Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: l
> Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received:
> Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: unset
This target doesn't really support threads (no thread indication in
stop reply packets; no support for qC), but then supports
qfThreadInfo, and returns an empty thread list to GDB.
See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00665.html for
why the target does that.
As remote_update_thread_list deletes threads from GDB's list that are
not found in the thread list that the target reports, the result is
that GDB deletes the "fake" main thread that GDB added itself. (As
that thread is currently selected, it is marked "exited" instead of
being deleted straight away.)
This commit avoids deleting the main thread in this scenario.

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.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

When running GDB's reverse debugging testsuite against a few ARM
multilibs, i noticed failures in the machinestate* testcases.
Further investigation showed that push and pop instruction encodings
A1 and A2 were not being handled properly, thus we missed saving
important contents from registers and memory. When going backwards,
such contents were not restored and thus we ended up with a corrupted
state that did not correspond to the real values we had at a
particular point in time.
Attached is a patch that fixes around 36 failures for both
gdb.reverse/machinestate.exp and
gdb.reverse/machinestate-precsave.exp testcases, making them fully
pass. This is for both armv7 and armv4. I still see failures for
armv4 thumb though, so it needs a bit more investigation.
I see no regressions due to this patch for armv7, armv7 thumb, armv4
and armv4 thumb.

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.

First:
"Breakpoint.delete" is missing parenthesis.
Second:
Someone on IRC asked, how come there is no disable() method in the
Breakpoint object. It turns out you have to do "bp.enabled = False".
Since every normal person would probably search for "disable" in that page
if their intent is to disable a python breakpoint, I thought it would be
useful if the description contained "disable" so it would be easy to find.
The result might seem a bit silly and redundant, so I am open to
suggestions.

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.

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]

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.

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.

(gdb) set tdesc filename ../../../../git/gdb/testsuite/gdb.xml/trivial.xml^M

because "${srcdir}/gdb.xml/trivial.xml" doesn't exist on host. This
patch is to copy trivial.xml to host and the warning goes away.
(gdb) set tdesc filename /tmp/foo/trivial.xml^M

tdesc-regs.exp has the similar problem that single-reg.xml may not
exist on host at all, and it should be copied to host too.

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.

If all threads in the target were already running when the user does
"c -a", nothing puts the inferior's terminal settings in effect and
removes stdin from the event loop, which we must when running a
foreground command. The result is that user input afterwards crashes

$
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.

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

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

struct thread_info *tp, *next;
for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next)
{
next = tp->next;
if (!thread_alive (tp))
delete_thread (tp->ptid);
}
}
Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive.
E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not
a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls...
With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends
up generating one T packet per thread:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n
That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method
implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target
threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to
GDB's thread list.
This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads
to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may
implement pruning dead threads however it wants.
Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the
patch renames it to target_update_thread_list.
The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet.
It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of
target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op.

We have three methods to list the current remote thread list:
1. The qXfer:threads:read method (the preferred one nowadays), builds a
remote thread list while parsing the XML, and then after the XML
parsing is done, goes over the built list and adds threads GDB doesn't
know about yet to GDB's list.
2. If the qXfer method isn't available, we fallback to using the
qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo packets. When we do this, we adds threads
to GDB's list immediately as we parse the qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo
packet replies.
3. And then if the previous method isn't available either, we try the
old deprecated qL packet. This path is already looking somewhat
broken for not using remote_notice_new_inferior to add threads to
GDB's list.
This patch makes all variants work in two passes, like the qXfer
method, and then makes all variants share the code path that adds
threads to GDB's list.

...
(resume): If this is a software single-stepping arch, and
displaced-stepping is enabled, use it for all single-step
requests.
...
That means that in non-stop (or really displaced-stepping) mode, on
software single-step archs - even those that only use sss breakpoints
to deal with atomic sequences, like PPC - if we have more than one
thread single-stepping, we'll always serialize the threads'
single-steps, as only one thread may be displaced stepping at a given
time, because there's only one scratch pad.
We originally did that because GDB didn't support having multiple
threads software-single-stepping simultaneously. The previous patches
fixed that limitation, so we can now finally revert this too.

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.

This is a preparatory/cleanup patch that does two things:
- Renames 'delete_step_thread_step_resume_breakpoint'. The
"step_resume" part is misnomer these days, as the function deletes
other kinds of breakpoints, not just the step-resume breakpoint. A
following patch will want to make it delete yet another kind of
breakpoint, even.
- Splits out the logic of which threads get those breakpoints deleted
to a separate "for_each"-style function, so that the same following
patch may use it with a different callback.

When GDB finds out the target triggered a watchpoint, and the target
has non-continuable watchpoints, GDB sets things up to step past the
instruction that triggered the watchpoint. This is just like stepping
past a breakpoint, but goes through a different mechanism - it resumes
only the thread that needs to step past the watchpoint, but also
switches a "infwait state" global, that has the effect that the next
target_wait only wait for events only from that thread.
This forcing of a ptid to pass to target_wait obviously becomes a
bottleneck if we ever support stepping past different watchpoints
simultaneously (in separate processes).
It's also unnecessary -- the target should only return events for
threads that have been resumed; if no other thread than the one we're
stepping past the watchpoint has been resumed, then those other
threads should not report events. If we couldn't assume that, then
stepping past regular breakpoints would be broken for not likewise
forcing a similar infwait_state.
So this patch eliminates infwait_state, and instead teaches keep_going
to mark step_over_info in a way that has the breakpoints module skip
inserting watchpoints (because we're stepping past one), like it skips
breakpoints when we're stepping past one.
Tested on:
- x86_64 Fedora 20 (continuable watchpoints)
- PPC64 Fedora 18 (non-steppable watchpoints)

Don't use debug_reg_state for both:
* "intent" - what we want the debug registers to look like
* "reality" - what/which were the contents of the DR registers when
the event triggered
Reserve it for the former only, like in the GNU/Linux port.
Otherwise the core x86 debug registers code can get confused if the
inferior itself changes the debug registers since GDB last set them.
This is also a requirement for being able to set watchpoints while the
target is running, if/when we get to it on Windows. See the big
comment in x86_dr_stopped_data_address.
Seems to me this may also fixes propagating watchpoints to all threads
-- continue_one_thread only calls win32_set_thread_context (what
copies the DR registers to the thread), if something already fetched
the thread's context before. Something else may be masking this
issue, I haven't checked.
Smoke tested by running gdbserver under Wine, connecting to it from
GNU/Linux, and checking that I could trigger a watchpoint as expected.

On 32-bit S390 targets the longjmp target address "naturally" has the
most significant bit set. That bit indicates the addressing mode and
is not part of the address itself. Thus, in analogy with similar
cases (like when computing the caller PC in
insert_step_resume_breakpoint_at_caller), this change removes
non-address bits from the longjmp target address before using it as a
breakpoint address.
Note that there are two ways for determining the longjmp target
address: via a probe or via a gdbarch method. This change only
affects the probe method, because it is assumed that the address
returned by the gdbarch method is usable as-is.
This change was tested together with a patch that enables longjmp
probes in glibc for S/390:

When trying to evaluate an expression which adds a pointer and
an integral, the evaluation succeeds if the pointer is on
the left handside of the operator, but not when it is on the right
handside:
(gdb) p something'address + 0
$1 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 + something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Same issue when doing subtractions:
(gdb) p something'address - 0
$2 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 - something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This patch enhances the Ada expression evaluator to handle
these two situations.

This patch is a response to what I commented on:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00046.html>
When reviewing Jose's USDT probe support patches. Basically, in his
patch he had to create dummy functions for the set_semaphore and the
clear_semaphore methods of probe_ops (gdb/probe.h), because those
functions were called inconditionally from inside gdb/breakpoint.c and
gdb/tracepoint.c. However, the semaphore concept may not apply to all
types of probes, and this is the case here: USDT probes do not have
semaphores (although SDT probes do).
Anyway, this is a simple (almost obvious) patch to guard the call to
{set,clear}_semaphore. It does not introduce any regression on a
Fedora 20 x86_64.
I will apply it in a few days in case there is no comment.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2014-10-14 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (bkpt_probe_insert_location): Call set_semaphore
only if it is not NULL.
(bkpt_probe_remove_location): Likewise, for clear_semaphore.
* probe.h (struct probe_ops) <set_semaphore>: Update comment.
(struct probe_ops) <clear_semaphore>: Likewise.
* tracepoint.c (start_tracing): Call set_semaphore only if it is
not NULL.
(stop_tracing): Likewise, for clear_semaphore.
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.

Hi,
I see the following fails on arm-none-eabi target,
-var-list-children --simple-values struct_declarations ^M

(gdb) ^M
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-var-display.exp: set format variable weird.func_ptr_ptr in natural
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.
int (*f) (void);
f = main;
(gdb) p f
$1 = (int (*)(void)) 0x8048400 <main>
(gdb) set print symbol off
(gdb) p f
$2 = (int (*)(void)) 0x8048400 <main>
In order to erase the difference, we can assign some function address
explicitly to function pointer, so the test behaves in a unique way.
In this patch, we assign nothing1 and nothing2 to function pointers
func_ptr_struct and func_ptr_ptr respectively, and update test as the
source file is changed.

Hi,
I modify mi-var-child.exp and find that the pattern to match the output
of -var-update * is quite complicated. However, it can be simplified by
using mi_varobj_update. That is what this patch does.

Fix "save breakpoints" for "catch" command.
* gdb.base/catch-signal.exp: Add gdb_breakpoint "main".
Remove -nonewline. Match also the added "main" line.
But IMO it is a functionality regression as:
* gdb_test_sequence permits arbitary number of lines of text between those
lines being matched. Former regex string did not allow it.
This may make a difference if GDB regresses by printing some unexpected
line after the breakpoint info line (like a "silent" line).

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.

2014-10-09 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/save-bp.exp (info break): Use gdb_test_sequence.
Nowadays, we are using command "tstatus" to send a packet to GDBserver
in order to check the connection. However, on the target doesn't
support tracepoint, the following error is emitted before sending any
packet to GDBserver.
tstatus^M
Trace can not be run on this target.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/server-kill.exp: tstatus
qTStatus is disabled after receiving the empty reply during connecting
to the remote target. When the test executes command "tstatus" again,
remote_get_trace_status returns -1 at the very beginning, and no RSP
packet is sent out.
This patch is to enable qTStatus packet again.
gdb/testsuite:
2014-10-11 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.server/server-kill.exp: Execute command
"set remote trace-status-packet on" before "tstatus".
Hi,
We see the following fail in the real remote testing...
(gdb) Executing on target: kill -9 29808 (timeout = 300)
spawn [open ...]^M
sh: 1: kill: No such process
The test tries to kill gdbserver in this way:
set server_pid [exp_pid -i [board_info target fileid]]
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.
In this patch, we tweak server-kill.c to get the parent pid, which is
the pid of GDBserver. GDB gets it and kill GDBserver on target.
gdb/testsuite:
2014-10-11 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.server/server-kill.c: Include sys/types.h and unistd.h.
(main): Call getppid.
* gdb.server/server-kill.exp: Set breakpoint on line "i = 0;"
and continue to it. Read variable "server_pid".
This patch is to remove some lines which looks unnecessary. These
lines were added when server-kill.exp was added. In the version 1,
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00691.html the test
calls runto_main and delete breakpoint on main,
+if ![runto_main] {
+ return -1
+}
+
+# Otherwise the breakpoint at 'main' would not cause insert
breakpoints during
+# first step.
+delete_breakpoints
However, in the version 2
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00854.html runto_main
is removed but delete_breakpoints is still there. AFAICS, the line of
delete_breakpoints can be removed too.
gdb/testsuite:
2014-10-11 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.server/server-kill.exp: Remove "delete_breakpoints".
As the result of the patch below, GDB updates thread list when a stop is

[PATCH 3/3] Fix non-stop regressions caused by "breakpoints always-inserted off" changes
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-09/msg00734.html
This patch is to remove the test code updating thread list.
Run these three tests many times on arm-linux-gnueabi and x86-linux.
No regressions.

2014-10-11 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>

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.
