This patch is to add a test case to on the performance of GDB handling
load and unload of shared library.
In V4:
- Handle malloc and dlopen failure,
- Document test parameters.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Adapt to perf test framework changes.
- Measure load and unload separately.
In V2, there are some changes,
- A new proc gdb_produce_source to produce source files. I tried to
move all source file generation code out of solib.exp, but
compilation step still needs to know the generated file names. I
have to hard-code the file names in compilation step, which is not
good to me, so I give up on this moving.
- SOLIB_NUMBER -> SOLIB_COUNT
- New variable SOLIB_DLCLOSE_REVERSED_ORDER to control the order of

This patch adds a basic framework to do performance testing for GDB.
perftest.py is about the test case, testresult.py is about test
results, and how are they saved. reporter.py is about how results
are reported (in what format). measure.py is about measuring the
execution of tests by a collection of measurements.
In V5:
- Simplify perftest.exp.
In V4:
- Rename MeasurementCPUTime to MeasurementCpuTime,
- Add 'pass' in empty method,
- Simplify string comparison in perftest.exp.
- Rename GDB_PERFORMANCE to GDB_PERFTEST_MODE and rename
GDB_PERFORMANCE_TIMEOUT to GDB_PERFTEST_TIMEOUT.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Add wall time measurement, cpu time measurement and vmsize
measurement.
- Rename SingleStatisticTestCase to TestCaseWithBasicMeasurements,
which measures cpu time, wall time, and memory (vmsize).
- GDB_PERFORMANCE=run|compile|both to control the mode of perf
testing.
- New GDB_PERFORMANCE_TIMEOUT to specify the timeout.
- Split proc prepare to proc compile and startup.
- Disable GC while doing measurements.
In V2, there are several changes to address Doug and Sanimir's
comments.
- Add copyright header and docstring in perftest/__init__.py
- Remove config.py.
- Fix docstring format.
- Rename classes "SingleVariable" to "SingleStatistic".
- Don't extend gdb.Function in class TestCase. Add a new method run
to run the test case so that we can pass parameters to test.
- Allow to customize whether to warm up and to append test log.
- Move time measurement into test harness. Add a new class
Measurement for a specific measurement and a new class Measure to
measure them for a given test case.
- A new class ResultFactory to create instances of TestResult.
- New file lib/perftest.exp, which is to do some preparations and
cleanups to simplify each *.exp file.
- Skip compilation step if GDB_PERFORMANCE_SKIP_COMPILE is set.

Currently a proc in gdb.exp toggles the expect (and thus dejagnu)
logging. This is not a super idea, but it is there to avoid putting
some preprocessor output into the log.
In the right circumstances, this can result in the log file being
mysteriously truncated. I think this happens because it doesn't
necessarily write to the correct log file again.
The fix is to use "log_file -info" to save the previous log file.

This patch fixes gdb PR symtab/15597.
The bug is that the .gnu_debugaltlink section includes the build-id of
the alt file, but gdb does not use it.
This patch fixes the problem by changing gdb to do what it ought to
always have done: verify the build id of the file found using the
filename in .gnu_debugaltlink; and if that does not match, try to find
the correct debug file using the build-id and debug-file-directory.
This patch touches BFD. Previously, gdb had its own code for parsing
.gnu_debugaltlink; I changed it to use the BFD functions after those
were introduced. However, the BFD functions are incorrect -- they
assume that .gnu_debugaltlink is formatted like .gnu_debuglink.
However, it it is not. Instead, it consists of a file name followed
by the build-id -- no alignment, and the build-id is not a CRC.
Fixing this properly is a bit of a pain. But, because
separate_alt_debug_file_exists just has a FIXME for the build-id case,
I did not fix it properly. Instead I introduced a hack. This leaves
BFD working just as well as it did before my patch.
I'm willing to do something better here but I could use some guidance
as to what. It seems that the build-id code in BFD is largely punted
on.
FWIW gdb is the only user of bfd_get_alt_debug_link_info outside of
BFD itself.
I moved the build-id logic out of elfread.c and into a new file.
This seemed cleanest to me.
Writing a test case was a bit of a pain. I added a couple new
features to the DWARF assembler to handle this.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
* bfd-in2.h: Rebuild.

Running catch-syscall.exp against a gdbserver that actually supports

FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit at catch syscall with unused syscall (mlock) (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
The fail pattern is:
Catchpoint 2 (call to syscall exit_group), 0x000000323d4baa29 in _exit () from /lib64/libc.so.6
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: program has called exit_group

Breakpoint 3 at 0x323d438bf0

Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 21081) exited normally]
That "break exit" + "continue" comes from:
> # gdb_continue_to_end:
> # The case where the target uses stubs has to be handled specially. If a
> # stub is used, we set a breakpoint at exit because we cannot rely on
> # exit() behavior of a remote target.
> #
The native-gdbserver.exp board, used to test against gdbserver in
"target remote" mode, triggers that case ($use_gdb_stub is true). So
gdb_continue_to_end doesn't work for catch-syscall.exp as here we
catch the exit_group and continue from that, expecting to see a real
program exit. I was about to post a patch that changes
catch-syscall.exp to call a new function that just always does what
gdb_continue_to_end does in the !$use_gdb_stub case. But, since
GDBserver doesn't really need this, in the end I thought it better to
teach the testsuite that there are stubs that know how to report
program exits, by adding a new "exit_is_reliable" board variable that
then gdb_continue_to_end checks.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

This fixes dwz.exp on 32-bit targets. It does so by introducing a new
"default" setting for the address size in the DWARF assembler.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.

* lib/dwarf.exp (cu, tu): Handle addr_size of "default". Change
default addr_size.
* lib/gdb.exp (is_64_target): New gdb_caching_proc.
I noticed that skip_btrace_tests is a classic "caching proc" that I

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
* lib/gdb.exp (skip_btrace_tests): Use gdb_caching_proc and
standard_temp_file.
In an earlier patch I forgot to change the caching proc in cell.exp to
use standard_temp_file. This fixes the oversight.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
* lib/cell.exp (skip_cell_tests): Use standard_temp_file.
This finishes making gdb.dwarf2 parallel-safe.
To do this, this patch introduces a new gdb_remote_download proc, that
works somewhat differently in the one specific case where it matters:
for a copy to "host", if no destination was given, and the host is not
actually remote, then standard_output_file is used. In parallel mode
this guarantees that the resulting file will end up in a parallel-safe
location.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 18.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-basic.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-compressed.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-intercu.exp: Use gdb_remote_download.

This introduces parallel mode for the test suite.
It doesn't fully work yet in the sense that if you do a fully parallel
run, you will encounter some file-name clashes, but this has to start
somewhere, and it seemed best to add some infrastructure now, so that
you can follow along and test subsequent patches if you care to.
This patch has two parts.
First, it checks for the GDB_PARALLEL variable. If this is set (say,
on the runtest command line), then the test suite assumes "parallel
mode". In this mode, files are put into a subdirectory named after
the test. That is, for DIR/TEST.exp, the outputs are put into
./outputs/DIR/TEST/.
This first part has various follow-on changes coming in subsequent
patches. This is why the code in this patch also makes "temp" and
"cache" directories.
Second, this adds an "inotify" mode. If you have the inotifywait
command (part of inotify-tools), you can set the GDB_INOTIFY variable.
This will tell the test suite to watch for changes outside of the
allowed output directories.
This mode is useful for debugging the test suite, as it issues a
report whenever a possibly parallel-unsafe file open is done.

In the fully parallel mode, each .exp file can be run in parallel (at
least conceptually -- the actual split may not be so severe). This
means that procs that compute a result and cache it are not going to
function very well. The test they run will be invoked over and over.
This patch introduces a generic caching mechanism and changes various
result-caching procs to use it. This is a cleanup to introduce the
basic change; the results aren't written to disk yet.
A caching proc is defined using gdb_caching_proc, which works like
"proc", except that it caches the result of the body.

This adds a new helper proc, standard_temp_file. This proc takes a

mode.

it.

PR symtab/15391 is a failure with the DW_OP_GNU_implicit_pointer
feature.
I tracked it down to a logic error in read_pieced_value. The code
truncates this_size_bits according to the type size and offset too
early -- it should do it after taking bits_to_skip into account.
This patch fixes the bug.
While testing this, I also tripped across a latent bug because
indirect_pieced_value does not sign-extend where needed. This patch
fixes this bug as well.
Finally, Pedro pointed out that a previous version implemented sign
extension incorrectly. This version introduces a new gdb_sign_extend
function for this. A couple of notes on this function:
* It has the gdb_ prefix to avoid clashes with various libraries that
felt free to avoid proper namespacing. There is a "sign_extend"
function in a Tile GX header, in an SOM-related BFD header (and in
sh64-tdep.c and as a macro in arm-wince-tdep.c, but those are
ours...)
* I looked at all the sign extensions in gdb and didn't see ones that
I felt comfortable converting to use this function; in large part
because I don't have a good way to test the conversion.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. New test cases included;
this required a minor addition to the DWARF assembler. Note that the
DWARF CU made by implptrpiece.exp uses a funny pointer size in order
to show the sign-extension bug on all platforms.
