fails when trying to manually write the breakpoint instruction to a certain

The following patch prevents a number of failures by detecting this and bailing out in case the target has such a restriction. Writing to .text from within the program isn't any better. It just leads to a SIGSEGV.

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp (test): Handle the case of being unable
to write to the .text section.
This testcase seems to assume the target is running Linux, so bare metal,
simulators and other debugging stubs running different OS' will have a
hard time executing some of the commands the testcase issues.
Even restricting the testcase to Linux systems (which the patch below does),
there are still problems with, say, QEMU not providing PID information when
"info inferior" is issued. As a consequence, the subsequent tests will either
fail or will not make much sense.
The attached patch checks if PID information is available. If not, it just
bails out and avoids running into a number of failures.

In gdb-sigterm.exp, SIGTERM is sent to GDB and it exits. However,
Dejagnu or tcl doesn't know this.
This patch is to catch the exception, but error messages are still
shown in the console and gdb.log. In order to avoid this, we also
replace gdb_expect with expect.

2015-04-13 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdb_exit): Catch exception

This commit renames the global array variable "addr" to an unique name
"coredump_var_addr" in the test gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. This is
needed because global arrays can have name conflicts between tests.
For example, this specific test was conflicting with dmsym.exp,
causing errors like:

Hi,
ARM linux kernel has some requirements on the address/length setting
for HW breakpoints/watchpoints, but watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp doesn't
consider them and sets HW points on various addresses. Many fails
are causes as a result:
stepi^M

in order to skip some tests.

These tests exercise the infrun.c:proceed code that needs to know to

That code is tricky to get right in the multitude of possible
combinations (at least):
(native | remote)
X (all-stop | all-stop-but-target-always-in-non-stop)
X (displaced-stepping | in-line step-over).
The first two above are properties of the target, but the different
step-over-breakpoint methods should work with any target that supports
them. This patch makes sure we always test both methods on all
targets.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

The problem is that the test assumes that both the "watch_me = 1;" and
the "other = 1;" lines compile to a single instruction each, which
happens to be true on x86, but no necessarily true everywhere else.
The result is that the test doesn't really test what it wants to test.
Fix it by looking for the instruction that triggers the watchpoint.

TL;DR:
When stepping over a breakpoint with displaced stepping, the core must
be notified of all signals, otherwise the displaced step fixup code
confuses a breakpoint trap in the signal handler for the expected trap
indicating the displaced instruction was single-stepped
normally/successfully.
Detailed version:
Running sigstep.exp with displaced stepping on, against my x86
software single-step branch, I got:

What should have happened is that the breakpoint hit in the signal
handler should have been presented to the user. But note that
"preempt 'handle'" -- what happened instead is that
displaced_step_fixup confused the breakpoint in the signal handler for
the expected SIGTRAP indicating the displaced instruction was
single-stepped normally/successfully.
This should be affecting all software single-step targets in the same
way.
The fix is to make sure the core sees all signals when displaced
stepping, just like we already must see all signals when doing an
stepping over a breakpoint in-line. We now get:

Breakpoint 3, handler (sig=14) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sigstep.c:35
35 done = 1;
Hardware single-step targets already behave this way, because the
Linux backends (both native and gdbserver) always report signals to
the core if the thread was single-stepping.
As mentioned in the new comment in do_target_resume, we can't fix this
by instead making the displaced_step_fixup phase skip fixing up the PC
if the single step stopped somewhere we didn't expect. Here's what
the backtrace would look like if we did that:

The problem is that with hardware step targets and displaced stepping,
"signal FOO" when stopped at a breakpoint steps the breakpoint
instruction at the same time it delivers a signal. This results in
tp->stepped_breakpoint set, but no step-resume breakpoint set. When
the next stop event arrives, GDB crashes. Irrespective of whether we
should do something more/different to step past the breakpoint in this
scenario (e.g., PR 18225), it's just wrong to assume there'll be a
step-resume breakpoint set (and was not the original intention).

Running break-interp.exp with the target always in non-stop mode trips
on PR13858, as enabling non-stop also enables displaced stepping.
The problem is that when GDB doesn't know where the entry point is, it
doesn't know where to put the displaced stepping scratch pad. The
test added by this commit exercises this. Without the fix, we get:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: break *$pc

FAIL: gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp: displaced=on: advanced
The fix switches all GNU/Linux ports to get the entry point from
AT_ENTRY in the target auxiliary vector instead of from symbols. This
is currently only done by PPC when Cell debugging is enabled, but I
think all archs should be able to do the same. Note that
ppc_linux_displaced_step_location cached the result, I'm guessing to
avoid constantly re-fetching the auxv out of remote targets, but
that's no longer necessary nowadays, as the auxv blob is itself cached
in the inferior object. The ppc_linux_entry_point_addr global is
obviously bad for multi-process too nowadays.
Tested on x86-64 (-m64/-m32), PPC64 (-m64/-m32) and S/390 GNU/Linux.

This patch is related to PR python/16699, and is an improvement over the
patch posted here:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00301.html>
Keith noticed that, when using the "complete" command on GDB to complete
a Python command, some strange things could happen. In order to
understand what can go wrong, I need to explain how the Python
completion mechanism works.
When the user requests a completion of a Python command by using TAB,
GDB will first try to determine the right set of "brkchars" that will be
used when doing the completion. This is done by actually calling the
"complete" method of the Python class. Then, when we already know the
"brkchars" that will be used, we call the "complete" method again, for
the same values.
If you read the thread mentioned above, you will see that one of the
design decisions was to make the "cmdpy_completer_helper" (which is the
function the does the actual calling of the "complete" method) cache the
first result of the completion, since this result will be used in the
second call, to do the actual completion.
The problem is that the "complete" command does not process the
brkchars, and the current Python completion mechanism (improved by the
patch mentioned above) relies on GDB trying to determine the brkchars,
and then doing the completion itself. Therefore, when we use the
"complete" command instead of doing a TAB-completion on GDB, there is a
scenario where we can use the invalid cache of a previous Python command
that was completed before. For example:
(gdb) A <TAB>
(gdb) complete B
B value1
B value10
B value2
B value3
B value4
B value5
B value6
B value7
B value8
B value9
(gdb) B <TAB>
comp1 comp2 comp4 comp6 comp8
comp10 comp3 comp5 comp7 comp9
Here, we see that "complete B " gave a different result than "B <TAB>".
The reason for that is because "A <TAB>" was called before, and its
completion results were "value*", so when GDB tried to "complete B " it
wrongly answered with the results for A. The problem here is using a
wrong cache (A's cache) for completing B.
We tried to come up with a solution that would preserve the caching
mechanism, but it wasn't really possible. So I decided to completely
remove the cache, and doing the method calling twice for every
completion. This is not optimal, but I do not think it will impact
users noticeably.
It is worth mentioning another small issue that I found. The code was
doing:
wordobj = PyUnicode_Decode (word, sizeof (word), host_charset (), NULL);
which is totally wrong, because using "sizeof" here will lead to always
the same result. So I changed this to use "strlen". The testcase also
catches this problem.
Keith kindly expanded the existing testcase to cover the problem
described above, and everything is passing.

Both PRs are triggered by the same use case.
PR18214 is about software single-step targets. On those, the 'resume'
code that detects that we're stepping over a breakpoint and delivering
a signal at the same time:
/* Currently, our software single-step implementation leads to different
results than hardware single-stepping in one situation: when stepping
into delivering a signal which has an associated signal handler,
hardware single-step will stop at the first instruction of the handler,
while software single-step will simply skip execution of the handler.
...
Fortunately, we can at least fix this particular issue. We detect
here the case where we are about to deliver a signal while software
single-stepping with breakpoints removed. In this situation, we
revert the decisions to remove all breakpoints and insert single-
step breakpoints, and instead we install a step-resume breakpoint
at the current address, deliver the signal without stepping, and
once we arrive back at the step-resume breakpoint, actually step
over the breakpoint we originally wanted to step over. */
doesn't handle the case of _another_ thread also needing to step over
a breakpoint. Because the other thread is just resumed at the PC
where it had stopped and a breakpoint is still inserted there, the
thread immediately re-traps the same breakpoint. This test exercises
that. On software single-step targets, it fails like this:
KFAIL: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: displaced=off: signal thr3: continue to sigusr1_handler

The gdb.base/interrupt.exp test is important for testing system call
restarting, but because it depends on inferior I/O, it ends up skipped
against gdbserver. This patch adjusts the test to use send_inferior
and $inferior_spawn_id so it works against GDBserver.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Don't skip if $inferior_spawn_id !=
$gdb_spawn_id. Use send_inferior and $inferior_spawn_id to
interact with inferior program.
Some important tests, like gdb.base/interrupt.exp end up skipped
against gdbserver, because they depend on inferior I/O, which
gdbserver doesn't do.
This patch adds a mechanism that makes it possible to make them work.
It adds a new "inferior_spawn_id" global that is the spawn ID used for
I/O interaction with the inferior. By default, for native targets, or
remote targets that can do I/O through GDB (semi-hosting) this will be
the same as the gdb/host spawn ID. Otherwise, the board may set this
to some other spawn ID. When debugging with GDBserver, this will be
set to GDBserver's spawn ID.
Then tests can use send_inferior instead of send_gdb to send input to
the inferior, and use expect's "-i" switch to select which spawn ID to
use for matching input/output. That is, something like this will now
work:
send_inferior "echo me\n"
gdb_test_multiple "continue" "test msg" {
-i "$inferior_spawn_id" -re "echo me\r\necho\r\n" {
...
}
}
Or even:
gdb_test_multiple "continue" "test msg" {
-i "$inferior_spawn_id" -re "hello world" {
...
}
-i "$gdb_spawn_id" -re "error.*$gdb_prompt $" {
...
}
}
Of course, by default, gdb_test_multiple still matches with
$gdb_spawn_id.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* lib/gdb.exp (inferior_spawn_id): New global.
(gdb_test_multiple): Handle "-i". Reset the spawn id to GDB's

(send_inferior): New procedure.
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_start): Set
inferior_spawn_id.
(close_gdbserver, gdb_exit): Unset inferior_spawn_id.
I adjusted a test to do 'expect -i $server_spawn_id -re ...', and saw
really strange behavior. Whether that expect would work, depended on
whether GDB would also send output and the same expect matched it too
(on $gdb_spawn_id). I was perplexed until I noticed that
gdbserver_spawn spawns gdbserver and then uses expect_background to
reap gdbserver. That expect_background conflicts/races with any
"expect -i $server_spawn_id" done anywhere else in parallel...
In order to make it possible for tests to read inferior I/O out of
$server_spawn_id, we to get rid of that expect_background. This patch
makes us instead reap gdbserver's spawn id when GDB exits. If GDB is
still around, this gives a chance for gdbserver to exit cleanly. The
current code in gdb_finish uses "kill", but that doesn't work with
extended-remote (gdbserver doesn't exit). We now use "monitor exit"
instead which works in both remote and extended-remote modes.

While teaching gdb_test_multiple to forward "-i" to gdb_expect, I
found that with:
gdb_test_multiple (...) {
-i $some_variable -re "..." {}
}
$some_variable was not getting expanded in the gdb_test_multiple
caller's scope. This is a bug inside gdb_test_multiple. When
processing an argument in passed in user code, it was appending the
original argument literally, instead of appending the uplist'ed
argument.

2015-04-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): When processing an argument,
append the substituted item, not the original item.
Working on splitting gdb and inferior output handling in this test, I
noticed a race that happens to be masked out today.
The test sends "a\n" to the inferior, and then inferior echoes back
"a\n".
If expect manages to read only the first "a\r\n" into its buffer, then
this matches:
-re "^a\r\n(|a\r\n)$" {
and leaves the second "a\r\n" in output.
Then the next test that processes inferior I/O sends "data\n", and expects:
-re "^(\r\n|)data\r\n(|data\r\n)$"
which fails given the anchor and given "a\r\n" is still in the buffer.
This is masked today because the test relies on inferior I/O being
done on GDB's terminal, and there are tested GDB commands in between,
which consume the "a\r\n" that was left in the output.
We don't support SunOS4 anymore, so just remove the workaround.

followed by a cascade of FAILs. The "tstatus" was supposed to detect
that this target (native) can't do tracepoints, but, alas, it didn't.
That detection failed because 'gdb_test "break main"' doesn't expect

"Breakpoint .*"' matched the output of "break main"...
The fix is to use gdb_breakpoint instead. Also check the result of
gdb_test while at it.

I managed to come up with a test that reliably reproduces this. It
spawns enough threads for the pid number space to wrap around, so
could potentially take a while. On my box that's 4 seconds; on
gcc110, a PPC box which has max_pid set to 65536, it's over 10
seconds. So I made the test compute how long that would take, and cap
the time waited if it would be unreasonably long.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

Variables with a DW_AT_const_value but without a DW_AT_location were not

has forced expansion of all CUs or not the lookup might succeed, or not
if the failure was already added to the symbol cache.

0x40053f is the start address of function func, and is mapped to line
7. 0x400541 is within function func, and is mapped to line 8.
(gdb) disassemble /r 0x40053f,+8

in the following test,
(gdb) break a/break-asm-file0.s:func
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40053f: file a/break-asm-file0.s, line 7.
As we can see, breakpoint is set at the start address of function func
on x86, which means no prologue is skipped. On other targets, such as
arm and aarch64, breakpoint is set at the address *after* the start
address, which is mapped to line 8. Then test fails.
In fact, it is lucky this test doesn't fail on x86 and x86_64, whose
gdbarch method skip_prologue doesn't reply on skip_prologue_using_sal
if producer isn't clang.
if (find_pc_partial_function (start_pc, NULL, &func_addr, NULL))
{
CORE_ADDR post_prologue_pc
= skip_prologue_using_sal (gdbarch, func_addr);
struct compunit_symtab *cust = find_pc_compunit_symtab (func_addr);
/* Clang always emits a line note before the prologue and another
one after. We trust clang to emit usable line notes. */
if (post_prologue_pc
&& (cust != NULL
&& COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust) != NULL
&& startswith (COMPUNIT_PRODUCER (cust), "clang ")))
return max (start_pc, post_prologue_pc);
}
so it doesn't return and go further to prologue analyser. Since ".int 0"
isn't an instruction of prologue, nothing is skipped, starting address
is used, and test passes.
however, on targets which don't have such producer checking, the first
line number entry is skipped, and skip_prologue_using_sal returns sal
represents the second line number entry.
The idea of this patch is to force GDB stop at somewhere which is stilled
mapped to line 7 after skipping prologue. I choose to add a new line
number entry for the following instruction but mapped to the same line (7),
because I see the comments in dwarf2read.c,
... fact that two consecutive
line number entries for the same line is a heuristic used by gcc
to denote the end of the prologue.
then the line table becomes:

looks the test expects to match "Saved registers:" from the output of

thrower and catcher are simple and leaf functions.

There are two ways to fix these fails, one is to modify functions to
force some registers saved (for example, doing function call in them),
and the other one is to relax the pattern to optionally match
"Saved registers:". I did both, and feel that the latter is simple,
so here is it.

The x86-record_goto.S assembly source file does not build on 32-bit.
This breaks many tests that use this file.
Split it into x86_64-record_goto.S and i686-record_goto.S. Luckily, we
can use either one with the same test .exp file.
It further turned out that most tests do not really need a fixed binary;
they should work pretty well with a newly-compiled C program. The
one thing that breaks this is the heavy use of "record goto" to navigate
inside the recorded execution.
Combine step.exp, next,exp, and finish.exp into a single test step.exp
and use normal stepping and reverse-stepping commands for navigation.

I noticed that "thread apply all" sometimes crashes.
The problem is that thread_apply_all_command doesn take exited threads
into account, and we qsort and then walk more elements than there
really ever were put in the array. Valgrind shows:
The current thread <Thread ID 3> has terminated. See `help thread'.

This can happen easily today as linux-nat.c/linux-thread-db.c are
forgetting to purge non-current exited threads. But even with that
fixed, we can always do "thread apply all" with an exited thread
selected, which won't be deleted until the user switches to another
thread. That's what the test added by this commit exercises.

* gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: Test "thread apply all".
Currently, "set scheduler-locking step" is a bit odd. The manual
documents it as being optimized for stepping, so that focus of
debugging does not change unexpectedly, but then it says that
sometimes other threads may run, and thus focus may indeed change
unexpectedly... A user can then be excused to get confused and wonder
why does GDB behave like this.
I don't think a user should have to know about details of how "next"
or whatever other run control command is implemented internally to
understand when does the "scheduler-locking step" setting take effect.
This patch completes a transition that the code has been moving
towards for a while. It makes "set scheduler-locking step" hold
threads depending on whether the _command_ the user entered was a
stepping command [step/stepi/next/nexti], or not.
Before, GDB could end up locking threads even on "continue" if for
some reason run control decides a thread needs to be single stepped
(e.g., for a software watchpoint).
After, if a "continue" happens to need to single-step for some reason,
we won't lock threads (unless when stepping over a breakpoint,
naturally). And if a stepping command wants to continue a thread for
bit, like when skipping a function to a step-resume breakpoint, we'll
still lock threads, so focus of debugging doesn't change.
In order to make this work, we need to record in the thread structure
whether what set it running was a stepping command.
(A follow up patch will remove the "step" parameters of 'proceed' and 'resume')
FWIW, Fedora GDB, which defaults to "scheduler-locking step" (mainline
defaults to "off") carries a different patch that goes in this
direction as well.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

When setting a pending breakpoint with a thread condition while using

This bug appears to be caused by bad debuginfo. The method
causing the sefault in the reporter's test case is marked both static
and virtual.
This patch simply safegaurds against this case in dwarf2_add_member_fn,
where the code assumes that there is a `this' pointer when a virtual method
is seen (more specifically, when DW_AT_vtable_elem is seen).
It previously dereferenced the first formal parameter
(`this' pointer), which in this case doesn't exist. GDB consequently
segfaulted dereferencing a NULL pointer.
