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

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

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

When functions are emitted in comdat groups, global symbols defined in
duplicates of the group are treated as if they were undefined. That
prevents the symbols in the discarded sections from affecting the
linker's global symbol hash table or causing duplicate symbol errors.
Annoyingly, when gcc emits a function to a comdat group, it does not
put *all* of a function's code and data in the comdat group.
Typically, constant tables, exception handling info, and debug info
are emitted to normal sections outside of the group, which is a
perennial source of linker problems due to the special handling needed
to deal with the extra-group pieces that ought to be discarded. In
the case of powerpc64-gcc, the OPD entry for a function is not put in
the group. Since the function symbol is defined on the OPD entry this
means we need to handle symbols in .opd specially.
To see how this affects LTO in particular, consider the linker
testcase PR ld/12942 (1). This testcase links an LTO object file
pr12942a.o with a normal (non-LTO) object pr12942b.o. Both objects
contain a definition for _Z4testv in a comdat group. On loading
pr12942a.o, the linker sees a comdat group (actually linkonce section)
for _Z4testv and a weak _Z4testv defined in the IR. On loading
pr12942b.o, the linker sees the same comdat group, and thus discards
it. However, _Z4testv is a weak symbol defined in .opd, not part of
the group, so this weak symbol overrides the weak IR symbol. On
(re)loading the LTO version of pr12942a.o, the linker sees another
weak _Z4testv, but this one does not override the value we have from
pr12942b.o. The result is a linker complaint about "`_Z4testv'
... defined in discarded section `.group' of tmpdir/pr12942b.o".
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_add_symbol_hook): If function code
section for function symbols defined in .opd is discarded, let
the symbol appear to be undefined.
(opd_entry_value): Ensure the result section is that for the
function code section in the same object as the OPD entry.
The write.c change is to make gas report an error if reg_section
symbols should leak in future. The tc-i386.c change is the real fix.
Note that the error isn't the most helpful, "redefined symbol cannot
be used on reloc", but I'm not inclined to improve what is really an
internal gas error. reg_section symbols shouldn't leak..

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

When we repeat a command, by just pressing <ret>, the input from the
previous command is reused for the new command invocation.
When an execution command strips the "&" out of its incoming argument
string, to detect background execution, we poke a '\0' directly to the
incoming argument string.
Combine both, and a repeat of a background command loses the "&".
This is actually only visible if args other than "&" are specified
(e.g., "c 1&" or "next 2&" or "c -a&"), as in the special case of "&"
alone (e.g. "c&") doesn't actually clobber the incoming string.
Fix this by making strip_bg_char return a new string instead of poking
a hole in the input string.
New test included.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

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

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

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

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.

The reason we exclude not just the failing "full-path =-prefixed

for sysroot == "/" is that for the latter to succeed, we have to make
assumptions about the system not having a /sysroot directory or
assumptions about its contents etc.
When passing --enable-targets=all --enable-64-bit-bfd (the
latter not required for a "64-bit-host" of course) the ld --help
output got too much to handle for poor tcl (or maybe dejagnu is
to blame) and remote_exec exited with an error, so the
configuration being tested was mishandled as being a
sysroot-less configuration. Using --version instead of --help
would work too, but the new --print-sysroot option calls for
nominal coverage, so why not use that instead.
This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

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

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

This commit avoids the prune_threads call in the remote target's

* gdbthread.h (ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE): New macro.
* remote.c (remote_update_thread_list): Skip calling prune_threads
if any thread listing method is supported, and instead walk over
the set of remote threads listed, deleting those that are not
found in GDB's thread list.
When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to
"info threads"), it calls update_thread_list:
update_thread_list (void)
{
prune_threads ();
target_find_new_threads ();
update_threads_executing ();
}
And then prune_threads does:
prune_threads (void)
{
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.

Julian Brown <julian@codesourcery.com>
...
(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.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, on top of my 'single-step breakpoints on
x86' series.

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)
