For amd64, CONTEXT_FULL does not contain CONTEXT_SEGMENTS, which seems
to be needed to retrieve all the segment registers. Add it explicitly,
with a little de-cruftification.
The value of the segment registers isn't terribly useful on amd64, but
at least this makes the output of 'info registers' correct.

When doing finish in a function, if gdb fails to return a value, gdb
also fails at printing the value type if this type is a struct.
For example :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: . Cannot determine contents
This patch fixes this by calling type_to_string to print the type
so that we can support these types.
This patch returns the following example output :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: struct test. Cannot determine contents
Also, this patch modifies structs.exp to check that we return the
correct type.

- Use signal frame sniffers that look for the signal trampoline
instruction sequence to detect most signal frames.
- FreeBSD kernels between 9.2 and 10.1 inclusive do not include the
signal trampoline code in process core dumps. To detect signal
frames for core dumps under these kernels, use the
kern.proc.sigtramp.<pid> sysctl to fetch the location of the signal
trampoline in the gdb process and assume that PC values within this
location are signal frames. This depends on that location being
identical for all binaries.

I'm going to add an alternate mechanism of breakpoint trap
identification to 'check_stopped_by_breakpoint' that does not rely on
checking the instruction at PC. The mechanism currently used to tell
whether we're stepping over a permanent breakpoint doesn't fit in that
new method. This patch redoes the whole logic in a different way that
works with both old and new methods, in essence moving the "stepped
permanent breakpoint" detection "one level up". It makes lower level
check_stopped_by_breakpoint always the adjust the PC, and then has
linux_wait_1 advance the PC past the breakpoint if necessary. This
ends up being better also because this now handles
non-decr_pc_after_break targets too. Before, such targets would get
stuck forever reexecuting the breakpoint instruction.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-02-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Don't check if the
thread was doing a step-over; always adjust the PC if
we stepped over a permanent breakpoint.
(linux_wait_1): If we stepped over breakpoint that was on top of a
permanent breakpoint, manually advance the PC past it.
Because delete_breakpoints uses gdb_expect directly, an internal error
results in slow timeouts instead of quickly bailing out. This patch
rewrites the procedure to use gdb_test_multiple instead, while
preserving the existing general logic ("delete breakpoints" + "info
breakpoints").

We need to be careful with parsing optional stop reasons that start
with an hex character ("awatch", "core"), as GDBs that aren't aware of
them parse them as real numbers. That's silly of course, given that
there should be a colon after those magic "numbers". So if strtol on
"abbz:" doesn't return "first invalid char" pointing to the colon, we
know that "abbz" isn't really a register number. It must be optional
stop info we don't know about. This adjusts GDB to work that way,
removing the need for the special casing done upfront:
/* If this packet is an awatch packet, don't parse the 'a'
as a register number. */
if (strncmp (p, "awatch", strlen("awatch")) != 0
&& strncmp (p, "core", strlen ("core") != 0))
For as long as we care about compatibility with GDB 7.9, we'll need to
continue to be careful about this, so I added a comment.

That was waitpid returning -1 / EINTR. We don't see that when testing

debugging a 32-bit inferior, a 64-bit GDBserver is reading/writing
$orig_eax from/to the wrong ptrace register buffer offset. When
gdbserver is 64-bit, the ptrace register buffer is in 64-bit layout,
so the register is found at "ORIG_EAX * 8", not at "ORIG_EAX * 4".

Non-stop tests don't really work with the
--target_board=native-extended-remote board, because tests toggle
non-stop on after GDB is already connected to gdbserver, while
Currently, non-stop must be enabled before connecting.
This adjusts the test to bail if running to main fails, like all other
non-stop tests.
Note non-stop tests do work with --target_board=native-gdbserver.

TL;DR - GDB can hang if something refreshes the thread list out of the
target while the target is running. GDB hangs inside td_ta_thr_iter.
The fix is to not use that libthread_db function anymore.
Long version:
Running the testsuite against my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series is
still exposing latent non-stop bugs.
I was originally seeing this with the multi-create.exp test, back when
we were still using libthread_db thread event breakpoints. The
all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series forces a thread list refresh each
time GDB needs to start stepping over a breakpoint (to pause all
threads). That test hits the thread event breakpoint often, resulting
in a bunch of step-over operations, thus a bunch of thread list
refreshes while some threads in the target are running.
The commit adds a real non-stop mode test that triggers the issue,
based on multi-create.exp, that does an explicit "info threads" when a
breakpoint is hit. IOW, it does the same things the as-ns series was
doing when testing multi-create.exp.
The bug is a race, so it unfortunately takes several runs for the test
to trigger it. In fact, even when setting the test running in a loop,
it sometimes takes several minutes for it to trigger for me.
The race is related to libthread_db's td_ta_thr_iter. This is
libthread_db's entry point for walking the thread list of the
inferior.
Sometimes, when GDB refreshes the thread list from the target,
libthread_db's td_ta_thr_iter can somehow see glibc's thread list as a
cycle, and get stuck in an infinite loop.
The issue is that when a thread exits, its thread control structure in
glibc is moved from a "used" list to a "cache" list. These lists are
simply circular linked lists where the "next/prev" pointers are
embedded in the thread control structure itself. The "next" pointer
of the last element of the list points back to the list's sentinel
"head". There's only one set of "next/prev" pointers for both lists;
thus a thread can only be in one of the lists at a time, not in both
simultaneously.
So when thread C exits, simplifying, the following happens. A-C are
threads. stack_used and stack_cache are the list's heads.
Before:
stack_used -> A -> B -> C -> (&stack_used)
stack_cache -> (&stack_cache)
After:
stack_used -> A -> B -> (&stack_used)
stack_cache -> C -> (&stack_cache)
td_ta_thr_iter starts by iterating at the list's head's next, and
iterates until it sees a thread whose next pointer points to the
list's head again. Thus in the before case above, C's next points to
stack_used, indicating end of list. In the same case, the stack_cache
list is empty.
For each thread being iterated, td_ta_thr_iter reads the whole thread
object out of the inferior. This includes the thread's "next"
pointer.
In the scenario above, it may happen that td_ta_thr_iter is iterating
thread B and has already read B's thread structure just before thread
C exits and its control structure moves to the cached list.
Now, recall that td_ta_thr_iter is running in the context of GDB, and
there's no locking between GDB and the inferior. From it's local copy
of B, td_ta_thr_iter believes that the next thread after B is thread
C, so it happilly continues iterating to C, a thread that has already
exited, and is now in the stack cache list.
After iterating C, td_ta_thr_iter finds the stack_cache head, which
because it is not stack_used, td_ta_thr_iter assumes it's just another
thread. After this, unless the reverse race triggers, GDB gets stuck
in td_ta_thr_iter forever walking the stack_cache list, as no thread
in thatlist has a next pointer that points back to stack_used (the
terminating condition).
Before fully understanding the issue, I tried adding cycle detection
to GDB's td_ta_thr_iter callback. However, td_ta_thr_iter skips
calling the callback in some cases, which means that it's possible
that the callback isn't called at all, making it impossible for GDB to
break the loop. I did manage to get GDB stuck in that state more than
once.
Fortunately, we can avoid the issue altogether. We don't really need
td_ta_thr_iter for live debugging nowadays, given PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE.
We already know how to map and lwp id to a thread id without iterating
(thread_from_lwp), so use that more.

This function has a few latent bugs that are triggered by a non-stop
mode test that will be added in a subsequent patch.
First, as described in the function's intro comment, the function is
supposed to return 1 if we're already auto attached to the thread, but
haven't processed the PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event of its parent thread
yet.
Then, we may find that we're trying to attach to a clone child that
hasn't yet stopped for its initial stop, and therefore 'waitpid(...,
WNOHANG)' returns 0. In that case, we're currently adding the LWP to
the stopped_pids list, which results in linux_handle_extended_wait
skipping the waitpid call on the child, and thus confusing things
later on when the child eventually reports the stop.
Then, the tail end of lin_lwp_attach_lwp always sets the
last_resume_kind of the LWP to resume_stop, which is wrong given that
the user may be doing "info threads" while some threads are running.
And then, the else branch of lin_lwp_attach_lwp always sets the
stopped flag of the LWP. This branch is reached if the LWP is the
main LWP, which may well be running at this point (to it's wrong to
set its 'stopped' flag).
AFAICS, there's no reason anymore for special-casing the main/leader
LWP here:
- For the "attach" case, linux_nat_attach already adds the main LWP to
the lwp list, and sets its 'stopped' flag.
- For the "run" case, after linux_nat_create_inferior, end up in
linux_nat_wait_1 here:
/* The first time we get here after starting a new inferior, we may
not have added it to the LWP list yet - this is the earliest
moment at which we know its PID. */
if (ptid_is_pid (inferior_ptid))
{
/* Upgrade the main thread's ptid. */
thread_change_ptid (inferior_ptid,
ptid_build (ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid),
ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid), 0));
lp = add_initial_lwp (inferior_ptid);
lp->resumed = 1;
}
... which adds the LWP to the LWP list already, before
lin_lwp_attach_lwp can ever be reached.

Another fix I'm working made schedlock.exp fail with gdbserver
frequently. Looking deeper, it turns out to be a pre-existing bug.
status_pending_p_callback is filtering out LWPs incorrectly. The
result is that that sometimes status_pending_p_callback returns a
pending event for an LWP that isn't expected, and then GDBserver gets
very confused.
E.g,. when doing a step-over, linux_wait_for_event is called with a
particular LWP's ptid, meaning events for all other LWPs should be
left pending, but here we see it retuning an event for some other LWP:
linux_wait_1: [<all threads>]
step_over_bkpt set [LWP 29577.29577], doing a blocking wait <--------
my_waitpid (-1, 0x40000001)

at that point, GDB only has the "exec" target, which obviously doesn't
do tracing.

is to do gdb_target_supports_trace with whatever target GDB ends up
connected after clean_restart.

On GNU/Linux, if a pthreaded program has a thread call clone(CLONE_VM)
directly, and then that clone LWP hits a debug event (breakpoint,
etc.) GDB internal errors. Threaded programs shouldn't really be
calling clone directly, but GDB shouldn't crash either.
The crash looks like this:
(gdb) break clone_fn
Breakpoint 2 at 0x4007d8: file clone-thread_db.c, line 35.
(gdb) r
...
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

src/gdb/linux-nat.c:1030: internal-error: lin_lwp_attach_lwp: Assertion `lwpid > 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
The problem is that 'clone' ends up clearing the parent thread's tid
field in glibc's thread data structure. For x86_64, the glibc code in
question is here:
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:
...
testq $CLONE_THREAD, %rdi
jne 1f
testq $CLONE_VM, %rdi
movl $-1, %eax <----
jne 2f
movl $SYS_ify(getpid), %eax
syscall
2: movl %eax, %fs:PID
movl %eax, %fs:TID <----
1:
When GDB refreshes the thread list out of libthread_db, it finds a
thread with LWP with pid -1 (the clone's parent), which naturally
isn't yet on the thread list. GDB then tries to attach to that bogus
LWP id, which is caught by that assertion.
The fix is to detect the bad PID early.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20. GDBserver doesn't need any fix.

When gdb creates a dummy frame to execute a function in the inferior,
the process may generate a SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL because the stack
is non executable. If the signal handler set in gdb has option print
or stop enabled for these signals gdb handles this correctly.
However, in the case of noprint and nostop the signal is short-circuited
and the inferior process is sent the signal directly. This causes the
inferior to crash because of gdb.
This patch adds a check for SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL so that these
signals are sent to gdb rather than short-circuited in the inferior.
gdb then handles them properly and the inferior process does not
crash.
This patch also fixes the same behavior in gdbserver.
Also added a small testcase to test the issue called catch-gdb-caused-signals.

gdb/doc/agentexpr.texi documents the "setv" opcode as follow:
@item @code{setv} (0x2d) @var{n}: @result{} @var{v}
Set trace state variable number @var{n} to the value found on the top
of the stack. The stack is unchanged, so that the value is readily
available if the assignment is part of a larger expression. The
handling of @var{n} is as described for @code{getv}.
The @item line is incorrect (and does not match with its
description), so this patch fixes it.
Additionally, in gdb/common/ax.def we find the line:
DEFOP (setv, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0x2d)
From the comment earlier in the file:
Each line is of the form:
DEFOP (name, size, data_size, consumed, produced, opcode)
[...]
CONSUMED is the number of stack elements consumed.
PRODUCED is the number of stack elements produced.
which is saying that nothing is consumed and one item is produced.
Both should be 0 or both should be 1.
This patch sets them both to 1, which seems better since if nothing
is on the stack an error will occur.

This patch teaches the TUI to resize itself asynchronously instead of
synchronously. Asynchronously resizing the screen when the underlying
terminal gets resized is the more intuitive behavior and is surprisingly
simple to implement thanks to GDB's async infrastructure.
The implementation is straightforward. TUI's SIGWINCH handler is just
tweaked to asynchronously invoke a new callback,
tui_async_resize_screen, which is responsible for safely resizing the
screen. Care must be taken to not to attempt to asynchronously resize
the screen while the TUI is not active. When the TUI is not active, the
callback will do nothing, but the screen will yet be resized in the next
call to tui_enable() by virtue of win_resized being TRUE.
(So, after the patch there are still two places where the screen gets
resized: one in tui_enable() and the other now in
tui_async_resize_screen() as opposed to being in
tui_handle_resize_during_io(). The one in tui_enable() is still
necessary to handle the case where the terminal gets resized inside the
CLI: in that case, the TUI still needs resizing, but it must wait until
the TUI gets re-enabled.)

This patch adds the above-mentioned commands to the generic probe

This patch moves the `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' functions
from stap-probe.c to probe.c. The rationale is that it is reasonable to
assume that all backends will provide the `$_probe_argN' convenience
variables, and that the user must be placed on the PC of the probe when
requesting that information. The value and type of the argument can still be
determined by the probe backend via the `pops->evaluate_probe_argument' and
`pops->compile_to_ax' handlers.
Note that a test in gdb.base/stap-probe.exp had to be adjusted because the "No
SystemTap probe at PC" messages are now "No probe at PC".

A "probe type" (backend for the probe abstraction implemented in
probe.[ch]) can extend the information printed by `info probes' by
defining additional columns. This means that when `info probes' is
used to print all the probes regardless of their types, some of the
columns will be "not applicable" to some of the probes (like, say, the
Semaphore column only makes sense for SystemTap probes). This patch
makes `info probes' fill these slots with "n/a" marks (currently it
breaks the table) and not include headers for which no actual probe
has been found in the list of defined probes.
This patch also adds support for a new generic column "Type", that
displays the type of each probe. SystemTap probes identify themselves
as "stap" probes.

(stap_type_name): New function.
The function key_is_command_char() is simply a predicate that determines
whether the function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() will do anything useful.
Since tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() performs the same checks as
key_is_command_char() it is unnecessary to keep key_is_command_char()
around. This patch removes this useless function and instead
unconditionally calls tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() inside its only caller,
tui_getc().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Don't call key_is_command_char.
(key_is_command_char): Delete.
If the user:
#1 - disables the TUI
#2 - resizes the terminal
#3 - and then re-enables the TUI
the next wgetch() returns KEY_RESIZE. This indicates to the ncurses
client that ncurses detected that the terminal has been resized. We
don't handle KEY_RESIZE anywhere, so it gets passed on to readline
which interprets it as a multibyte character, and then the end result
is that the first key press after enabling the TUI is misinterpreted.
We shouldn't really need to handle KEY_RESIZE (and not all ncurses
implementations have that). We have our own SIGWINCH handler, and,
when we re-enable the TUI, we explicitly detect terminal resizes and
resize all windows. The reason ncurses currently does detects a
resize is that something within tui_enable forces a refresh/display of
some window before we get to do the actual resizing. Setting a break
on ncurses' 'resizeterm' function helps find the culprit(s):

That is, tui_enable calls tui_set_key_mode before we've resized all
windows, and that refreshes a window as side effect.
And if we're already debugging something (there's a frame), then we'll
instead show a window from within tui_show_frame_info:

Current trunk GDB (and gdb-7.8.1 too) fails to build on Aarch64 when

goto error patters are sometimes AFAIK used in C for the cases like:
int retval=-1;
if (!(a=malloc())) goto error;
if (!(b=malloc())) goto error_a;
if (!(c=malloc())) goto error_b;
retval=0;
error_c: free(c);
error_b: free(b);
error_a: free(a);
error: return retval;
But here there is single error label with one do_cleanups() which I do not find
it worth the goto complication. Without goto one can then furher merge code in
the exit paths in the next patches and ... after all it is all the same, just
without a goto.

* xcoffread.c (within_function): Delete.
In C, we can forward declare static structure instances. That doesn't
work in C++ though. C++ treats these as definitions. So then the
compiler complains about symbol redefinition, like:
src/gdb/elfread.c:1569:29: error: redefinition of ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’
src/gdb/elfread.c:53:29: error: ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’ previously declared here
The intent of static here is naturally to avoid making these objects
visible outside the compilation unit. The equivalent in C++ would be
to instead define the objects in the anonymous namespace. But given
that it's desirable to leave the codebase compiling as both C and C++
for a while, this just makes the objects extern.
(base_breakpoint_ops is already declared in breakpoint.h, so we can
just remove the forward declare from breakpoint.c)

On decr_pc_after_break targets, GDB adjusts the PC incorrectly if a
background single-step stops somewhere where PC-$decr_pc has a
breakpoint, and the thread that finishes the step is not the current
thread, like:
ADDR1 nop <-- breakpoint here
ADDR2 jmp PC
IOW, say thread A is stepping ADDR2's line in the background (an
infinite loop), and the user switches focus to thread B. GDB's
adjust_pc_after_break logic confuses the single-step stop of thread A
for a hit of the breakpoint at ADDR1, and thus adjusts thread A's PC
to point at ADDR1 when it should not, and reports a breakpoint hit,
when thread A did not execute the instruction at ADDR1 at all.
The test added by this patch exercises exactly that.
I can't find any reason we'd need the "thread to be examined is still
the current thread" condition in adjust_pc_after_break, at least
nowadays; it might have made sense in the past. Best just remove it,
and rely on currently_stepping().
Here's the test's log of a run with an unpatched GDB:

This patch fixes a pair of TUI issues related to screen resizing:
1. In tui_handle_resize_during_io(), when the TUI screen gets resized,
we fail to update GDB's idea about the height of the output window.
You can see this bug by doing:
a. Enter TUI mode.
b. "show height"
c. Resize the terminal.
d. "show height"
And observe that despite resizing the terminal, the reported height
remains unchanged. Note that a similar issue exists in the CLI.
The fix for this is simple: call tui_update_gdb_sizes() after performing
a resize, so that the "height" variable remains consistent with the
height of TUI's output window.
2. In tui_enable(), the call to tui_update_gdb_sizes() may clobber
readline's idea of the actual screen dimensions, and a subsequent
pending resize will use bogus terminal dimensions.
You can see this bug by doing:
a. Enter TUI mode.
b. Exit TUI mode.
c. Resize the terminal.
d. Enter TUI mode.
e. Press a key to resize the screen.
And observe that the terminal gets incorrectly resized to the wrong
dimensions. To fix this issue, we should oppurtunistically resize the
screen in tui_enable(). That way we eliminate the possibility of a
pending resize triggering right after we call tui_update_gdb_sizes().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_handle_resize_during_io): Call
tui_update_gdb_sizes() after resizing the screen.
* tui/tui.c (tui_enable): Resize the terminal before
calling tui_update_gdb_sizes().
If we submit a command while the prompt cursor is somewhere other than
at the end of the command line, the command line gets truncated as the
command window gets shifted one line up. This happens because we fail
to properly move the cursor to the end of the command line before
transmitting the newline to ncurses. We need to move the cursor because
when ncurses outputs a newline it truncates any text that appears
past the end of the cursor.
The fix is generic enough to work properly even in multi-line secondary
prompts like the quit prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Move cursor to the end of the command
line before printing a newline.
Some local changes I was working on related to SIGTRAP handling
resulted in "signal SIGTRAP" no longer passing the SIGTRAP to the
inferior.
Surprisingly, only annota1.exp catches this. This commit adds a test
that doesn't rely on annotations, so that at the point annotations are
finaly dropped, we still have this use case covered ...
This is a multi-threaded test to also exercise the case of first
needing to do a step-over before delivering the signal.

displaced_step_fixup takes an thread to work with, as argument. OTOH,
gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup fixes up the current thread. The former
calls the latter without making sure the current thread is the one
that was passed in. If it is not, then gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup
may e.g., try reading from a running thread, which doesn't work on
some targets, or worse, read memory from the wrong inferior and
succeed.
This is mostly a latent problem currently, as non-stop switches the
current thread to the event thread early in fetch_inferior_event.

Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user. The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.
The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size. The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.
Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

The buildbot shows that this test is still racy, and occasionally
fails with time outs on some machines. I'd like to get major issues
with load out of the way.
The test currently exits after 180s, which is just a random number,
that has no relation to what the .exp file considers a time out. This
commit makes the program wait a bit longer than what the .exp file
considers a time out, and, resets the timer for each iteration.

get:

...
Thinking that this might be a problem of SIGTERM reaching GDB, but
then the event loop taking too long to handle it, I hacked GDB to
print a debug log whenever the SIGTERM handler was called, and,
whenever the event loop finally calls the async SIGTERM handler.
Here's what I see:
infrun: 30011 [Thread 30011],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x4005de

infrun: stepping inside range [0x4005de-0x4005e0]
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), ...
infrun: prepare_to_wait

Cannot execute this command while the target is running.
Use the "interrupt" command to stop the target
and then try again.
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: expect eof #27
FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: SIGTERM stepped 228 times
So, no delay on the GDB side. It just happens that occasionally it
takes more than 200 single-steps before SIGTERM even reaches GDB.
This just looks like a kernel/scheduling issue --- some extra usage
spike in the system (e.g., an I/O spike) might cause it for me. For
the build slaves, I'm guessing they're frequently busy enough to trip
on this often. Particularly more so now that we're having them run
tests in parallel mode.
The fix is to detect failure by timeout instead of counting single
steps. This should be more reliable. Indeed for me, after this
commit, I couldn't trigger a FAIL anymore, even after letting the test
run for an hour.
By timeout is also nicer in that a board file for a slow host/target
can increase it (like, e.g., an embedded GNU/Linux board).

gdbserver.

This commit modifies the test program gdb.base/info-os.c so that
it cleans up all allocated System V IPC objects when a fatal
error occurs. Without this, it was possible for the program
to leave IPC objects on the system, and such objects persist
until they are manually deleted or the system reboots.
I looked at changing the SysV IPC key for allocating the IPC objects to
IPC_PRIVATE. That would prevent errors due to namespace conflicts with the
key. However, the test needs to read the actual key number from the 'info
os' command output, and IPC_PRIVATE won't work for that.

This is because in Python 2 tp_hash was:
typedef long (*hashfunc)(PyObject *);
while in Python 3 tp_hash is:
typedef Py_hash_t (*hashfunc)(PyObject *);
Py_hash_t is int for 32-bit hosts and long for 64-bit hosts. While on 32-bit
hosts sizeof(long)==sizeof(int) still the hashfunc type is formally
incompatible. As this patch should have no compiled code change it is not

Since the starvation avoidance series
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-12/msg00631.html), both
GDB and GDBserver pull all events out of ptrace before deciding which
event to process.
There's one problem with that though. Because we resume new threads
immediately when we see a PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event, if the program
constantly spawns threads fast enough, new threads can spawn threads
faster we can pull events out of the kernel, and thus we'd get stuck
in an infinite loop, never returning any event to the core to process.
I occasionally see this happen with the
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test against gdbserver.
The fix is to delay resuming new threads until we've pulled out all
events out of the kernel.
On native, we already have the resume_stopped_resumed_lwps function
that knows to resume LWPs that are stopped with no event to report to
the core. So the patch just adds another use. GDBserver didn't have
the equivalent yet, so the patch adds one.

extended-remote).

Running the testsuite with the native-extended-gdbserver.exp board and
passing a variant spec, like
make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver/-m32"
results in dejagnu trying to open a rsh connection to
"native-extended-gdbserver", which of course is wrong. The point of
this board is running things locally.
The issue is that the native-extended-gdbserver board does not clear
the "isremote" flag properly.

When reading a core file register section which is larger than
expected, emit a warning. Assume that a register section usually has
exactly the size specified by the regset section iterator. In some
special cases this assumption is wrong, or at least does not match the
regset supply function's logic. Thus also add a way to suppress the
warning in those cases, using a new flag REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* regset.h (struct regset): Add flags field.
(REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE): New value for a regset's flags field.
* corelow.c (get_core_register_section): Add warning if the size
exceeds the requested size and the regset does not have the
REGSET_VARIABLE_SIZE flag set.

When reading the XSAVE extended state from an i386 or AMD64 core file,
the respective regset iterator requests a minimum section size of
zero. Since the respective regset supply function does not check the
size either, this may lead to accessing data out of range if the
section is too short.
In write mode, the iterator always uses the maximum supported size for
the XSAVE extended state.
This is now changed such that the iterator always requests the
expected size of this section based on xcr0, both for reading and
writing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* amd64-linux-tdep.c (amd64_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections):
For ".reg-xstate", explicitly specify the requested section size
via X86_XSTATE_SIZE instead of just 0 on input and
X86_XSTATE_MAX_SIZE on output.
* i386-linux-tdep.c (i386_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections):
Likewise.
As reported in PR 17808, a test case with a forged (invalid) core file
can crash GDB with an assertion failure. In that particular case the
prstatus of an i386 core file looks like that from an AMD64 core file.
Consequently the respective regset supply function i386_supply_gregset
is invoked with a larger buffer than usual. But i386_supply_gregset
asserts a specific buffer size, and this assertion fails.
The patch relaxes all buffer size assertions in regset supply
functions such that they merely check for a sufficiently large buffer.
For consistency the regset collect functions are adjusted as well.

In the TUI mode, we call wrefresh after outputting every single
character. This results in the I/O becoming very slow. Fix this by
delaying refreshing the console window until an explicit flush of
gdb_stdout is requested, or a write to any other (unbuffered) file is
done.

commit 70b66289 (Simplify event-loop core, remove two-step event
processing) causes a build failure when compiling GDB with gcc/-O2:
gdb/event-loop.c: In function ‘gdb_do_one_event’:
gdb/event-loop.c:296:10: error: ‘res’ may be used uninitialized in this function

GCC isn't realizing that event_source_head can never be > 2 and that
therefore 'res' is always initialized in all possible paths. Adding a
default case that internal_error's makes GCC realize that.

With global system gcc-5.0 if one also installs ccache (needing a different
patch
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11060
for -fplugin=libcc1plugin) it breaks as GDB will read from inferior
DW_AT_producer containing -fpreprocessed (due to ccache used to compile the
inferior).

It is wrong that gcc puts -fpreprocessed into DW_AT_producer - fixed it in
trunk GCCs:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-01/msg01495.html

Even with the previous patch installed, we'll still see
sigall-reverse.exp occasionally fail. The problem is that the event
loop's event handling processing is done in two steps:
#1 - poll all event sources, and push new event objects to the event
queue, until all event sources are drained.
#2 - go through the event queue, processing each event object at a
time. For each event, call the associated callback, and deletes the
event object from the queue.
and then bad things happen if between #1 and #2 something decides that
events from an event source that has already queued events shouldn't
be processed yet. To do that, we either remove the event source from
the list of event sources, or clear its "have events" flag. However,
if an event for that source has meanwhile already been pushed in the
event queue, #2 will still process it and call the associated
callback...
One way to fix it that I considered was to do something to the event
objects already in the event queue when an event source is no longer
interesting. But then I couldn't find any good reason for the
two-step process in the first place. It's much simpler (and less
code) to call the event source callbacks as we poll the sources and
find events.

This is another event-loop/async related problem exposed by the patch
that made 'query' use gdb_readline_wrapper (588dcc3edb).
The problem is that even though gdb_readline_wrapper disables
target-async while the secondary prompt is in progress, the record
target's async event source is left marked. So when
gdb_readline_wrapper nests an event loop to process input, it may
happen that that event loop ends up processing a target event while
GDB is not really ready for it. Here's the relevant part of the
backtrace showing the root issue in action:

With my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series, I'm also seeing
gdb.server/ext-attach.exp fail occasionally due to the same issue.
The first part of the fix is for target_async implementations to make
sure to remove/unmark all target-related event sources from the event
loop.

* ada-lang.c (ada_lookup_symbol_list_worker): Do not re-cache
results found in the cache.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
The Ada symbol cache has been designed to have one instance of that
of that cache per program space, and for each instance to be created
on-demand. ada_get_symbol_cache is the function responsible for both
lookup and creation on demand.
Unfortunately, ada_get_symbol_cache forgot to store the reference
to newly created caches, thus causing it to:
- Leak old caches;
- Allocate a new cache each time the cache is being searched or
a new entry is to be inserted.
This patch fixes the issue by avoiding the use of the local variable,
which indirectly allowed the bug to happen. We manipulate the reference
in the program-space data instead.

This patch moves TYPE_SELF_TYPE into new field type_specific.self_type
for MEMBERPTR,METHODPTR types, and into type_specific.func_stuff
for METHODs, and then updates everything to use that.
TYPE_CODE_METHOD could share some things with TYPE_CODE_FUNC
(e.g. TYPE_NO_RETURN) and it seemed simplest to keep them together.
Moving TYPE_SELF_TYPE into type_specific.func_stuff for TYPE_CODE_METHOD
is also nice because when we allocate space for function types we assume
they're TYPE_CODE_FUNCs. If TYPE_CODE_METHODs don't need or use that
space then that space would be wasted, and cleaning that up would involve
more invasive changes.
In order to catch errant uses I've added accessor functions
that do some checking.
One can no longer assign to TYPE_SELF_TYPE like this:
TYPE_SELF_TYPE (foo) = bar;
One instead has to do:
set_type_self_type (foo, bar);
But I've left reading of the type to the macro:
bar = TYPE_SELF_TYPE (foo);
In order to discourage bypassing the TYPE_SELF_TYPE macro
I've named the underlying function that implements it
internal_type_self_type.
While testing this I found the stabs reader leaving methods
as TYPE_CODE_FUNCs, hitting my newly added asserts.
Since the dwarf reader smashes functions to methods (via
smash_to_method) I've done a similar thing for stabs.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be

sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming

To make it clear that some functions should not modify the variable
object, this patch adds the const qualifier where it makes sense to some
struct varobj * parameters. Most getters should take a const pointer to
guarantee they don't modify the object.
Unfortunately, I couldn't add it to some callbacks (such as name_of_child).
In the C implementation, they call c_describe_child, which calls
varobj_get_path_expr. varobj_get_path_expr needs to modify the object in
order to cache the computed value. It therefore can't take a const
pointer, and it affects the whole call chain. I suppose that's where you
would use a "mutable" in C++.
I did that to make sure there was no other cases like the one fixed in
the previous patch. I don't think it can hurt.

It seems like different languages are doing this differently (e.g.
C and Ada). For C, var->path_expr is set inside c_path_expr_of_child.
The next time the value is requested, is it therefore not recomputed.
Ada does not set this field, but just returns the value. Since the field
is never set, the value is recomputed every time it is requested.
This patch makes it so that path_expr_of_child's only job is to compute
the path expression, not save/cache the value. The field is set by the
varobj common code.

Consider the following declarations:
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
type Record_Type (N : Integer) is record
A : Array_Type (1 .. N);
end record;
R : Record_Type := Get (10);
It defines what Ada programers call a "discriminated record", where
"N" is a component of that record called a "discriminant", and where
"A" is a component defined as an array type whose upper bound is
equal to the value of the discriminant.
So far, we rely on a number of fairly complex GNAT-specific encodings
to handle this situation. This patch is to enhance GDB to be able to
print this record in the case where the compiler has been modified
to replace those encodings by pure DWARF constructs.
In particular, the debugging information generated for the record above
looks like the following. "R" is a record..
.uleb128 0x10 # (DIE (0x13e) DW_TAG_structure_type)
.long .LASF17 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type"
... whose is is of course dynamic (not our concern here)...

.uleb128 0x13 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x174 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
This patch enhanced GDB to understand references to other DIEs
where the DIE's address is at an offset of its enclosing type.
The difficulty was that the address used to resolve the array's
type (R's address + 4 bytes) is different from the address used
as the base to compute N's address (an offset to R's address).
We're solving this issue by using a stack of addresses rather
than a single address when trying to resolve a type. Each address
in the stack corresponds to each containing level. For instance,
if resolving the field of a struct, the stack should contain
the address of the field at the top, and then the address of
the struct. That way, if the field makes a reference to an object
of the struct, we can retrieve the address of that struct, and
properly resolve the dynamic property references that struct.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
This is preparation work to avoid a regression in the Ada/varobj.
An upcoming patch is going to add support for types in DWARF
which have dynamic properties whose value is a reference to another
DIE.
Consider for instance the following declaration:
type Variant_Type (N : Int := 0) is record
F : String(1 .. N) := (others => 'x');
end record;
type Variant_Type_Access is access all Variant_Type;
VTA : Variant_Type_Access := null;
This declares a variable "VTA" which is an access (=pointer)
to a variant record Variant_Type. This record contains two
components, the first being "N" (the discriminant), and the
second being "F", an array whose lower bound is 1, and whose
upper bound depends on the value of "N" (the discriminant).
Of interest to us, here, is that second component ("F"), and
in particular its bounds. The debugging info, and in particular
the info for the array looks like the following...
.uleb128 0x9 # (DIE (0x91) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF16 # DW_AT_name: "bar__variant_type__T2b"
.long 0xac # DW_AT_GNAT_descriptive_type
.long 0x2cb # DW_AT_type
.long 0xac # DW_AT_sibling
.uleb128 0xa # (DIE (0xa2) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0xc4 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x87 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x91
... where the upper bound of the array's subrange type is a reference
to "n"'s DIE (0x87):
.uleb128 0x8 # (DIE (0x87) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "n\0" # DW_AT_name
[...]
Once the patch to handle this dynamic property gets applied,
this is what happens when creating a varobj for variable "VTA"
(whose value is null), and then trying to list its children:
(gdb)
-var-create vta * vta
^done,name="vta",numchild="2",value="0x0",
type="bar.variant_type_access",has_more="0"
(gdb)
-var-list-children 1 vta
^done,numchild="2",
children=[child={name="vta.n",[...]},
child={name="vta.f",exp="f",
numchild="43877616", <<<<-----
value="[43877616]", <<<<-----
type="array (1 .. n) of character"}],
has_more="0"
It has an odd number of children.
In this case, we cannot really determine the number of children,
since that number depends on the value of a field in a record
for which we do not have a value. Up to now, the value we've been
displaying is zero - meaning we have an empty array.
What happens in this case, is that, because the VTA is a null pointer,
we're not able to resolve the pointer's target type, and therefore
end up asking ada_varobj_get_array_number_of_children to return
the number of elements in that array; for that, it relies blindly
on get_array_bounds, which assumes the type is no longer dynamic,
and therefore the reads the bound without seeing that it's value
is actually a reference rather than a resolved constant.
This patch prevents the issue by explicitly handling the case of
dynamic arrays, and returning zero child in that case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-varobj.c (ada_varobj_get_array_number_of_children):
Return zero if PARENT_VALUE is NULL and parent_type's
range type is dynamic.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/mi_var_array: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Consider the following code:
type Record_Type (N : Integer) is record
A : Array_Type (1 .. N);
end record;
[...]
R : Record_Type := Get (10);
Trying to print the bounds of the array R.A yielded:
(gdb) p r.a'last
$4 = cannot find reference address for offset property
A slightly different example, but from the same cause:
(gdb) ptype r
type = <ref> record
n: integer;
a: array (cannot find reference address for offset property
Looking at the debugging info, "A" is described as...
.uleb128 0x11 # (DIE (0x181) DW_TAG_member)
.ascii "a\0" # DW_AT_name
.long 0x15d # DW_AT_type
[...]
... which is an array...
.uleb128 0x12 # (DIE (0x15d) DW_TAG_array_type)
.long .LASF18 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type__T4b"
.long 0x194 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x174 # DW_AT_sibling
... whose bounds are described as:
.uleb128 0x13 # (DIE (0x16a) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x174 # DW_AT_type
.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.byte 0 # end of children of DIE 0x15d
We can see above that the range has an implict lower value of
1, and an upper value which is a reference 0x153="n". All Good.
But looking at the array's subrange subtype, we see...
.uleb128 0x14 # (DIE (0x174) DW_TAG_subrange_type)
.long 0x153 # DW_AT_upper_bound
.long .LASF19 # DW_AT_name: "foo__record_type__T3b"
.long 0x18d # DW_AT_type
... another subrange type whose bounds are exactly described
the same way. So we have a subrange of a subrange, both with
one bound that's dynamic.
What happens in the case above is that GDB's resolution of "R.A"
yields a array whose index type has static bounds. However, the
subtype of the array's index type was left untouched, so, when
taking the subtype of the array's subrange type, we were left
with the unresolved subrange type, triggering the error above.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (is_dynamic_type_internal) <TYPE_CODE_RANGE>: Return
nonzero if the type's subtype is dynamic.
(resolve_dynamic_range): Also resolve the range's subtype.

Since Fedora started to use DWZ DWARF compressor:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DwarfCompressor
GDB has slowed down a lot. To make it clear - DWZ is DWARF structure
rearrangement, "compressor" does not mean any zlib style data compression.
This patch reduces LibreOffice backtrace from 5 minutes to 3 seconds (100x)
and it also reduces memory consumption 20x.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One can see all DW_TAG_partial_unit have DW_AT_stmt_list 0x0 which causes
repeated decoding of that .debug_line unit on each DW_TAG_imported_unit.
This was OK before as each DW_TAG_compile_unit has its own .debug_line unit.
But since the introduction of DW_TAG_partial_unit by DWZ one should cache
read-in DW_AT_stmt_list .debug_line units.
Fortunately one does not need to cache whole
struct linetable *symtab->linetable
and other data from .debug_line mapping PC<->lines
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line Number Statements:
Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x45c880
Advance Line by 25 to 26
Copy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as the only part of .debug_line which GDB needs for DW_TAG_partial_unit is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Directory Table:
../../gdb
/usr/include/bits
[...]
The File Name Table:
Entry Dir Time Size Name
1 1 0 0 gdb.c
2 2 0 0 string3.h
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specifically referenced in GDB for DW_AT_decl_file at a single place:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fe = &cu->line_header->file_names[file_index - 1];
SYMBOL_SYMTAB (sym) = fe->symtab;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is because for some reason DW_TAG_partial_unit never contains PC-related
DWARF information. I do not know exactly why, the compression ratio is a bit
lower due to it but thanksfully currently it is that way:
dwz.c:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* These attributes reference code, prevent moving
DIEs with them. */
case DW_AT_low_pc:
case DW_AT_high_pc:
case DW_AT_entry_pc:
case DW_AT_ranges:
die->die_ck_state = CK_BAD;
+
/* State of checksum computation. Not computed yet, computed and
suitable for moving into partial units, currently being computed
and finally determined unsuitable for moving into partial units. */
enum { CK_UNKNOWN, CK_KNOWN, CK_BEING_COMPUTED, CK_BAD } die_ck_state : 2;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also verified also real-world Fedora debuginfo files really comply with
that assumption with dwgrep
https://github.com/pmachata/dwgrep
using:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dwgrep -e 'entry ?DW_TAG_partial_unit child* ( ?DW_AT_low_pc , ?DW_AT_high_pc , ?DW_AT_ranges )' /usr/lib/debug/**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW I think GDB already does not support the whole DW_TAG_imported_unit and
DW_TAG_partial_unit usage possibilities as specified by the DWARF standard.
I think GDB would not work if DW_TAG_imported_unit was used in some inner
level and not at the CU level (readelf -wi level <1>) - this is how DWZ is
using DW_TAG_imported_unit. Therefore I do not think further assumptions
about DW_TAG_imported_unit and DW_TAG_partial_unit usage by DWZ are a problem
for GDB.
One could save the whole .debug_line decoded PC<->lines mapping (and not just
the DW_AT_decl_file table) but:
* there are some problematic corner cases so one could do it incorrectly
* there are no real world data to really test such patch extension
* such extension could be done perfectly incrementally on top of this patch

* The variable object (struct) has a child which is also a pointer to a
struct;
* We try to use "-var-list-children".
... an exception thrown in value_ind can propagate too far and leave an
half-built variable object, leading to a wrong state. This patch adds a
TRY_CATCH to catch it and makes value_rtti_indirect_type return NULL in
that case, meaning that the type of the pointed object could not be
found.
A test for the fix is also added.

* Added test.

Add a flag field is_noreturn to struct func_type. Make calling_convention
a small bit field to not increase the size of the struct. Set is_noreturn
if the new GCC5/DWARF5 DW_AT_noreturn is set on a DW_TAG_subprogram.
Use this information to warn the user before doing a finish or return from
a function that does not return normally to its caller.

linux_nat_is_async_p currently always returns true, even when the
target is _not_ async. That confuses
gdb_readline_wrapper/gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup, which
force-disables target-async while the secondary prompt is active. As
a result, when gdb_readline_wrapper returns, the target is left async,
even through it was sync to begin with.
That can result in weird bugs, like the one the test added by this
commit exposes.

gdb_interact is a small utility that we have found quite useful to debug
test cases.
Putting gdb_interact in a test suspends it and allows to interact with
gdb to inspect whatever you want. You can then type ">>>" to resume the
test execution. Of course, this is only for gdb devs. It wouldn't make
sense to leave a gdb_interact permanently in a test case.
When starting the interaction with the user, the script prints this
banner:
+------------------------------------------+
| Script interrupted, you can now interact |
| with by gdb. Type >>> to continue. |
+------------------------------------------+
Notes:
* When gdb is launched, the gdb_spawn_id variable (lib/gdb.exp) is
assigned -1. Given the name, I would expect it to contain the gdb
expect spawn id, which is needed for interact. I changed all places
that set gdb_spawn_id to -1 to set it to the actual gdb spawn id
instead.
* When entering the "interact" mode, the last (gdb) prompt is already
eaten by expect, so it doesn't show up on the terminal. Subsequent
prompts do appear though. We tried to print "(gdb)" just before the
interact to replace it. However, it could be misleading if you are
debugging an MI test case, it makes you think that you are typing in a
CLI prompt, when in reality it's MI. In the end I decided that since
the feature is for developers who know what they're doing and that one
is normally consciously using gdb_interact, the script doesn't need
to babysit the user.
* There are probably some quirks depending on where in the script
gdb_interact appears (e.g. it could interfere with following
commands and make them fail), but it works for most cases. Quirks can
always be fixed later.
The idea and original implementation was contributed by Anders
Granlund, a colleague of mine. Thanks to him.

I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number. Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage. Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

When GDB is configured with "--without-tui --with-curses" or "--with-tui",
$prefer_curses is set to yes. But, that still doesn't mean that curses
will be used. configure will still search for the curses library, and
continue building without it. That's done here:
curses_found=no
if test x"$prefer_curses" = xyes; then
...
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(waddstr, [ncurses cursesX curses])
if test "$ac_cv_search_waddstr" != no; then
curses_found=yes
fi
fi
So if waddstr is not found, meaning curses is not really
available, even though it'd be preferred, $prefer_curses is
'yes', but $curses_found is 'no'.
So the right fix to tell whether we're linking with curses is
$curses_found=yes.

This commit fixes the regression on RHEL-5 systems introduced by
nat/linux-personality.c's check of HAVE_DECL_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
RHEL-5 systems define HAVE_DECL_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE as zero, so we
cannot use #ifndef; instead this patch uses the "#if !" construction.

This patch moves the shared code present on
gdb/linux-nat.c:linux_nat_create_inferior and
gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_create_inferior to
nat/linux-personality.c. This code is responsible for disabling
address space randomization based on user setting, and using
<sys/personality.h> to do that. I decided to put the prototype of the

This patch updates two attach tests to use utility procs for checking if

2) Use spawn_wait_for_attach instead of exec/sleep

Consider the following code:
type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Integer;
type Object (N : Integer) is record
Data : Table (1 .. N);
end record;
My_Object : Object := (N => 3, Data => (3, 5, 8));
Trying to print the range and length of the My_Object.Data array yields:
(gdb) print my_object.data'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 0
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 0
The first one is correct, and that is thanks to the fact that
the lower bound is statically known. However, for the upper
bound, and consequently the array's length, the values are incorrect.
It should be:
(gdb) print my_object.data'last
$2 = 3
(gdb) print my_object.data'length
$3 = 3
What happens here is that ada_array_bound_from_type sees that
our array has a parallel "___XA" type, and therefore tries to
use it. In particular, it described our array's index type as:
[...]___XDLU_1__n, which means lower bound = 1, and upper bound
is value of "n". Unfortunately, ada_array_bound_from_type does
not have access to the discriminant, and is therefore unable to
compute the bound correctly.
Fortunately, at this stage, the bound has already been computed
a while ago, and therefore doesn't need to be re-computed here.
This patch fixes the issue by ignoring that ___XA type if the array
is marked as already fixed.
This also fixes the same issue with packed arrays.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_array_bound_from_type): Ignore array's parallel
___XA type if the array has already been fixed.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/var_arr_attrs: New testcase.
This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBServer to detect 64-bit inferior
correctly. We find a problem that GDBServer is unable to detect on a
e5500 core processor. Current GDBServer assumes that MSR is a 64-bit
register, but MSR is a 32-bit register in Book III-E. This patch is
to fix this problem by checking the right bit in MSR, in order to handle
both Book III-S and Book III-E. In order to detect Book III-S and
Book III-E, we check the PPC_FEATURE_BOOKE from the host's HWCAP (by
getauxval on glibc >= 2.16. If getauxval doesn't exist, we implement
the fallback by parsing /proc/self/auxv), because it should an invariant
on the same machine cross different processes.
In order to share code, I add nat/ppc-linux.c for both GDB and
GDBserver side.

Executing a gdb script that runs the inferior (from the command line
with -x), and has it hit breakpoints with breakpoint commands that
themselves run the target, is currently broken on async targets
(Linux, remote).
While we're executing a command list or a script, we force the
interpreter to be sync, which results in some functions nesting an
event loop and waiting for the target to stop, instead of returning
immediately and having the top level event loop handle the stop.
The issue with this bug is simply that bpstat_do_actions misses
checking whether the interpreter is sync. When we get here, in the
case of executing a script (or, when the interpreter is sync), the
program has already advanced to the next breakpoint, through
maybe_wait_sync_command_done. We need to process its breakpoints
immediately, just like with a sync target.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

$ echo 'main(){*(int*)0=0;}' | gcc -x c -; ./gdb/gdb -batch -ex r ./a.out
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004004ff in main ()
$
If you start typing the next command, seemingly nothing happens - GDB
left the terminal with echo disabled.
The issue is that that "r" ends up in fetch_inferior_event, which
calls reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup, which causes
readline to prep the terminal (raw, echo disabled). But "-batch"
causes GDB to exit before the top level event loop is first started,
and then nothing de-preps the terminal.
The reinstall_readline_callback_handler_cleanup function's intro
comment mentions:
"Need to do this as we go back to the event loop, ready to process
further input."
but the implementation forgets the case of when the interpreter is
sync, which indicates we won't return to the event loop yet, or as in
the case of -batch, we have not started it yet.
The fix is to not install the readline callback in that case.
For the test, in this case, checking that command echo still works is
sufficient. Comparing stty output before/after running GDB is even
better. Because stty may not be available, the test tries both ways.
In any case, since expect's spawn (what we use to start gdb) creates a
new pseudo tty, another expect spawn or tcl exec after GDB exits would
not see the wrong terminal settings. So instead, the test spawns a
shell and runs stty and GDB in it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

A sanity-check in my release scripts caught something: After having
created the tarballs, I verify that no checked-in file disappeared
in the process, and lo and behod, it found that the following file
got wiped:
- gdb/testsuite/dg-extract-results.py:
And it's not part of the tarball either.
I don't understand while we delete all *.py files in gdb/testsuite,
since I don't see a rule that expected to create one. A run of the
testsuite also doesn't seem to be creating .py files there.
I traced this to the following commit, which unfortunately provided
no explanation. Perhaps we used to run some tests in the gdb/testsuite
directory and caused files to be left behind there. Perhaps we still
do today?
In the meantime, Executive Decision: In order to allow me to create
tarballs without losing files, I removed it. It's easy to put something
back if we find out why it might still be needed.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (clean mostlyclean): Do not delete *.py.
Tested on x86_64-linux by running the src-release.sh script again,
and this time, dg-extract-results.py no longer gets wiped.
