Eclipse CDT now supports enabling execution recording using two methods
(full and btrace) and both formats for btrace (bts and pt). In the
event that recording is enabled behind the back of the GUI (by the user
on the command line, or a script), we need to know which method/format
are being used, so it can be correctly reflected in the interface. This
patch adds this information to the =record-started async record.
Before:
=record-started,thread-group="i1"
After:
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="bts"
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="pt"
=record-started,thread-group="i1",method="full"
The "format" field is only present when the current method supports
multiple formats (only the btrace method as of now).

declaration.

We can generate x86-64 TLS code sequences for general and local dynamic
models without PLT, which uses indirect call via GOT:
call *__tls_get_addr@GOTPCREL(%rip)
instead of direct call:
call __tls_get_addr[@PLT]
Since direct call is 4-byte long and indirect call, is 5-byte long, the
extra one byte must be handled properly.
For general dynamic model, one 0x66 prefix before call instruction is
removed to make room for indirect call. For local dynamic model, we
simply use 5-byte indirect call.
TLS linker optimization is updated to recognize new instruction patterns.
For local dynamic model to local exec model transition, we generate
4 0x66 prefixes, instead of 3, before mov instruction in 64-bit and
generate a 5-byte nop, instead of 4-byte, before mov instruction in
32-bit. Since linker may convert
call *__tls_get_addr@GOTPCREL(%rip)
to
addr32 call __tls_get_addr
when producing static executable, both patterns are recognized.

hopefully let the compiler optimize the loop better. It also has the effect

... and fix Ctrl-C races.
The current remote-fileio.c SIGINT/EINTR code can lose Ctrl-C --
there's a period where SIG_IGN is installed as signal handler, for
example.
Since:
- remote.c no longer installs a custom SIGINT handler;
- The current remote-fileio.c SIGINT handler is basically the same as
the default SIGINT handler (event-top.c:handle_sigint), in
principle, except that instead of setting the quit flag, it sets a
separate flag.
I think we should be able to completely remove the remote-fileio.c
SIGINT handler, and centralize on the quit flag, thus fixing the
Ctrl-C race.

Patch 7eb895307f Skip unwritable frames in command "finish"
skips non-writable frames in addition to tailcall frames.
If skip_tailcall_frames already returns NULL, skip_unwritable_frames
will be called with a NULL frame and crash in get_frame_arch. This is
caught by gdb.btrace/tailcall-only.exp.
Further, if we ever end up with a mixture of tailcall and non-writable
frames, we may not skip all of them, as intended.

one of them makes progress.

we can't go out of the loop above, and that is why GDB can't send
interrupt.
Recently, we stop throwing exception from SIGINT handler
(remote_fileio_ctrl_c_signal_handler)
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00372.html, which
is correct, because gdb_select is interruptible. However, in the
same patch series, we add interruptible_select later as a wrapper
to gdb_select, https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00375.html
and it is not interruptible (because of the loop in it) unless
select/poll-able file descriptors are marked.
This fix in this patch is to call quit_serial_event_set, so that we can
go out of the loop above, return -1 and set errno to EINTR.

* remote-fileio.c (remote_fileio_ctrl_c_signal_handler): Call
quit_serial_event_set.
Shifting into the sign bit of a 32 bit int and then converting to a unsigned
type is less straight forward than just shifting an unsigned value.

* sh-opc.h (ARCH_SH_HAS_DSP): Make the shifted value an unsigned
constant.

I've traced the main source of the problem to pieced_value_funcs.coerce_ref not being
implemented. Since gdb always assumes references are implemented as pointers, this
causes it to think that it's dealing with a NULL pointer, thus breaking any operations
involving synthetic references.
What I did here was implementing pieced_value_funcs.coerce_ref using some of the synthetic
pointer handling code from indirect_pieced_value, as Pedro suggested. I also made a few
adjustments to the reference printing code so that it correctly shows either the address
of the referenced value or (if it's non-addressable) the "<synthetic pointer>" string.
I also wrote some unit tests based on Dwarf::assemble; these took a while to make
because in most cases I needed a synthetic reference to a physical variable. Additionally,
I started working on a unit test for classes that have a vtable, but ran into a few issues
so that'll probably go in a future patch. One thing that should definitely be fixed is that
proc function_range (called for MACRO_AT_func) will always try to compile/link using gcc
with the default options instead of g++, thus breaking C++ compilations that require e.g. libstdc++.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (coerce_pieced_ref, indirect_synthetic_pointer,
fetch_const_value_from_synthetic_pointer): New functions.
(indirect_pieced_value): Move lower half to indirect_synthetic_pointer.
(pieced_value_funcs): Implement coerce_ref.
* valops.c (value_addr): Call coerce_ref for synthetic references.
* valprint.c (valprint_check_validity): Return true for synthetic
references. Also, don't show "<synthetic pointer>" if they reference
addressable values.
(generic_val_print_ref): Handle synthetic references. Also move some
code to print_ref_address.
(print_ref_address, get_value_addr_contents): New functions.
