This patch moves the definition of enum out of the scope of struct
aarch64_memory_operand, otherwise it breaks GDB build in c++ mode.
gdb:
2015-10-14 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* arch/aarch64-insn.h (struct aarch64_memory_operand): Move enum
out of it.
(enum aarch64_memory_operand_type): New.
This fixes a few build errors like these in C++ mode:
src/gdb/reverse.c: In function ‘void exec_reverse_once(char*, char*, int)’:
src/gdb/reverse.c:49:34: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘exec_direction_kind’ [-fpermissive]
enum exec_direction_kind dir = execution_direction;
^
make: *** [reverse.o] Error 1
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-10-13 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (restore_execution_direction): New function.
(fetch_inferior_event): Use it instead of
make_cleanup_restore_integer.
(execution_direction): Change type to enum
exec_direction_kind.
* infrun.h (execution_direction): Likewise.
Remove an unneeded parameter from parse_frame_specification, replace
with a fixed string within parse_frame_specification. The message was
the same in every place that parse_frame_specification was used anyway.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stack.c (parse_frame_specification): Remove message parameter,
replace with fixed string in function body, update function
comment.
(frame_info): Remove message to parse_frame_specification.
(select_frame_command): Likewise.
Within the stack command there are a couple of places where fixed
strings are passed into functions that are really intended for
processing user input. These fixed strings are then processed and the
result returned.
Given that the input strings in these cases are fixed, and are always
"0", then the result will always be the same, the current frame. By
switching to using get_current_frame instead the code can be simplified,
and the intention of the code is clearer.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stack.c (parse_frame_specification): Delete.
(parse_frame_specification_1): Rename to
parse_frame_specification.
(frame_info): Use parse_frame_specification.
(select_frame_command): Likewise.
(return_command): Use select_frame and print_stack_frame rather
than frame_command and select_frame_command.
(func_command): Use get_current_frame rather than
parse_frame_specification.
The func command, available when starting gdb in dbx mode, is supposed
to take a function name and locate the frame for that function in the
stack. This has been broken for a while due to an invalid check of the
arguments within the worker function. Fixed in this commit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stack.c (func_command): Return early when there is no ARG
string.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/dbx.exp (test_func): Remove xfails, update expected
results.
The 'frame' command is documented in two places. The 'select-frame'
command is only mentioned in one of these places.
Of the two places, having the description of 'frame' and 'select-frame'
in the section 'Selecting a Frame' seems like the most obvious choice,
which is where things like 'up' and 'down' are also documented.
This commit moves the documentation of 'frame' and 'select-frame' into
the 'Selecting a Frame' section, and removes the duplicate documentation
of the 'frame' command.
At the same time I have reordered the sections in the 'Examining the
Stack' chapter, moving the discussion of frame filters to the end of the
chapter; it feels odd that we talk about frame filters before such basic
things like navigating the stack, or examining stack frames in general.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Frames): Remove 'frame' and 'select-frame'
description.
(Frame Filter Management): Move to later in the 'Examining the
Stack' chapter.
(Selection): Add entry for 'select-frame'.
In stack.c switch to using safe-ctype.h instead of ctype.h, update code
as required.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stack.c: Include safe-ctype.h not ctype.h.
(parse_frame_specification): Use ISSPACE not isspace.
(backtrace_command): Use TOLOWER not tolower.
This allows to avoid casting away the const qualification in
m32c_pseudo_register_write (which is the entry points for all other
register read/write functions).
Also, use gdb_byte* instead of void* to avoid casts when calling gdb
common memory functions. It also allows to remove those "For adderss
arithmetic" local variables.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* m32c-tdep.c (m32c_move_reg_t): Replace with...
(m32c_write_reg_t): ...this and...
(m32c_read_reg_t): ...this.
(struct m32c_reg): Update types of read and write.
(m32c_raw_read): Change declaration type to m32c_read_reg_t and
adjust definition.

Likewise, this patch renames emit_load_store to
aarch64_emit_load_store.

gdb/gdbserver:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-aarch64-low.c: Update all callers as emit_load_store
is renamed to aarch64_emit_load_store.
As emit_insn becomes extern, the prefix "aarch64_" is needed. This
patch renames emit_insn to aarch64_emit_insn.

* linux-aarch64-low.c: Update all callers of function renaming
from emit_insn to aarch64_emit_insn.
This patch adds a new test case which uses gdb.arch/insn-reloc.c too
to test displaced stepping. Nowadays, tests are for x86, x86_64 and
aarch64.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.arch/disp-step-insn-reloc.exp: New test case.
This patch is to support displaced stepping in aarch64-linux. A
visitor is implemented for displaced stepping, and used to record
information to fixup pc after displaced stepping if needed. Some
emit_* functions are converted to macros, and moved to
arch/aarch64-insn.{c,h} so that they can be shared.
gdb:

This patch moves aarch64_relocate_instruction and visitor class to
arch/aarch64-insn.c, so that both GDB and GDBserver can use it.
gdb:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>

(struct aarch64_insn_visitor): Likewise.
Nowadays, the instruction decodings and handling are mixed together
inside aarch64_relocate_instruction. The patch decouples instruction
decoding and instruction handling by using visitor pattern. That is,
aarch64_relocate_instruction decode instructions and visit each
instruction by different visitor methods. Each visitor defines the
concrete things to different instructions. Fast tracepoint instruction
relocation and displaced stepping can define their own visitors,
sub-class of struct aarch64_insn_data.
gdb/gdbserver:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>

(aarch64_relocate_instruction): Use visitor.
aarch64_relocate_instruction should only decode instructions, and other
operations should be done out side of it. This patch moves append_insns
out of aarch64_relocate_instruction, to its caller.
gdb/gdbserver:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_relocate_instruction): Return
int. Add argument buf.
(aarch64_install_fast_tracepoint_jump_pad): Pass buf to
aarch64_relocate_instruction.
This patch is to move target_read_uint32 out of
aarch64_relocate_instruction and pass INSN to
aarch64_relocate_instruction, so that it is cleaner, only decode
instructions.
gdb/gdbserver:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_relocate_instruction): Add
argument insn. Remove local variable insn. Don't call
target_read_uint32.
(aarch64_install_fast_tracepoint_jump_pad): Call
target_read_uint32.
This patch adds more tests in gdb.arch/insn-reloc.c to cover
instruction BL and cover B.CON when CON is false. These new added
tests can be used for displaced stepping too.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-10-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.arch/insn-reloc.c (can_relocate_bcond): Rename to ...
(can_relocate_bcond_true): ... it.
(can_relocate_bcond_false): New function.
(foo): Likewise.
(can_relocate_bl): Likewise.
(testcases) [__aarch64__]: Add can_relocate_bcond_false and
can_relocate_bl.
Assume foo_array is a pointer to a C structure. GDB must evaluate the
following expression properly, but it does not currently:
(gdb) print 1 && &foo_array[1].a
Attempt to take address of value not located in memory.
The problem is that in EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode,
eval.c:evaluate_subexp_standard always returns a not_lval value as the
result for a STRUCTOP_STRUCT operation. As a consequence, the rest of
the code believes that one cannot take the address of the returned
value.
This patch fixes STRUCTOP_STRUCT handling so that the VALUE_LVAL
attribute for the returned value is properly initialized. After this
change, the above session becomes:
(gdb) print 1 && &foo_array[1].a
$1 = 1
gdb/ChangeLog:
* eval.c (evaluate_subexp_standard) <STRUCTOP_STRUCT>: If
EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS mode, forward the VALUE_LVAL attribute
to the returned value.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/nested-addr.c: New file.
* gdb.base/nested-addr.exp: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
This adds a guard that the size of the "unpacked" buffer is large enough
to contain at least BIT_SIZE bits. If not, report an error. This is to
guard this routine from doing buffer overflows when called incorrectly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unpack_from_contents): Add guard that unpacked
is large enough for BIT_SIZE. Update function comment.
This patch fixes a buffer overflow in ada_unpack_from_contents
caused by one of the previous commits. This happens when trying
to print the value of an array of variant records.
The overflow happens while trying to print one element of the array.
Because the size of each element in the array is variable, the array
has a DWARF byte_stride attribute, which makes us treat the array
as if it was packed. And during the extraction of each array element,
we try to unpack an object using the array's byte stride as the size,
into an element whose size is actually less than the stride.
This patch fixes the issue by overriding the byte-stride with
the actual element's length.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Move
src_len variable to local block where used. Override
BIT_SIZE if bigger than size of resolved type.
Just a small cleanup, to avoid code duplication...
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.h (is_scalar_type): Add extern declaration.
* gdbtypes.c (is_scalar_type): Make non-static.
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Use is_scalar_type
to compute IS_SCALAR instead of doing it ourselves.
There is some partial handling for dynamic types in
ada_value_primitive_packed_val, but this support was added
in a fairly ad hoc way, and actually only covered the situation
where OBJ is not NULL and its contents had not been fetched yet.
In addition, even in the cases that it does cover, it doesn't make
much sense. In particular, it was adjusting BIT_SIZE and SRC_LEN,
which are properties of the data to be extracted _from_, based
on TYPE's length once resolved, which is a property of the data
we want to extract _to_.
This patch hopefully adjust this function to handle dynamic types
correctly, and in all cases. It does so by unpacking the data into
a temporary buffer in order to use that buffer to resolve the type.
And _then_ creates the resulting value from that resolved type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Rework handling
of case where TYPE is dynamic.
This patch is just preparation work which splits the function
ada_value_primitive_packed_val into two function: one which unpacks
the data, and the other which now uses it to implement
ada_value_primitive_packed_val.
This simplifies a bit ada_value_primitive_packed_val, but will also
allow us to use the new function to unpack data without actually creating
a struct value as a result.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unpack_from_contents): New function,
extracted from ada_value_primitive_packed_val.
(ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Replace extracted out code
by call to ada_unpack_from_contents.
This patch just changes the order in which local variables are declared
so as to group the logically-related variables together. No code
change otherwise.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Reorder local
variable declarations.
... instead of "unsigned char".
gdb/Changelog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Change the type
of local variables src and unpacked to "gdb_type *" instead of
"unsigned char *".
A number of local variables declared in ada_value_primitive_packed_val
have a name that could, IMO, be improved to, either: Be more explicit
about what the variable is about (Eg: "src" is an index, so rename it
to "src_idx"); or be more consistent with other variables that they
relate to: for instance, several variables refer to the source via
"src" (Eg: srcBitsLeft, nsrc), but the buffer they refer to is called
"bytes", so patch renames "bytes" to "src".
This should help read and understand a little more easily the code
inside this function. No real code change otherwise.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Make the name
of various local variables more explicit and consistent.
No real code change otherwise.
There are a bunch of places where a void* is implicitely casted into a

The vdso.exp test checks that we can access the VDSO memory when replaying.
Depending on the line information generated by the compiler, runto_main may run
to the line marked with bp.1 or stop before that line. The test incorrectly
assumes that it will always run to the marked line and fails if it doesn't.
The test does not really care about what is traced. It does care that GDB is
replaying when capturing the second disassemble output.
Reflect that in the test by ignoring the output of the stepping and record goto
begin commands and by checking that GDB is actually replaying.
testsuite/
* gdb.btrace/vdso.c (main): Remove breakpoint markers.
* gdb.btrace/vdso.exp: Change stepping command to "next" and ignore

Note that the output is correct; it's just that inferior output

This comment isn't really correct, unfortunately:
# waiting. If we had already seen the status wrapper exit,
# gdb_test_multiple/expect has no spawn ids left, and thus
# returns.
That's true of expect in general, but I had missed / forgot that
gdb_test_multiple internally has extra matches using "-i
$gdb_spawn_id", so even if the caller clears all the indirect spawn id
lists, gdb_test_multiple will continue waiting.
So do a conditional exp_continue manually instead.

Except binary, other BFDs have a built-in location; gdb restores content
at offset 'bias' from that location. So, 'bias' of 'restore' command should
be parsed as address only when the file is binary.

As reported by Ulrich here:

The system compiler (gcc 4.1) in Centos 5 doesn't like that we cast to a
pointer to a type that doesn't exist. I see no real value in using this
kind iof construct over just using void *. So this patch changes the
tdep_info field to void * and removes the casts. Even in C++, we
should not need an explicit cast when assigning to a void *.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (struct gdbarch_info): Change tdep_info's type to void *.

I noticed this while working on the test case. I believe it would make
sense to skip running the tests if the binary failed to build. Although
I would understand the opposite argument: if the binary does not build
for some reason, we probably want to know about it, and some catastrophic
failures in the tests might alarm us better than a timid "UNTESTED".
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-type.exp: Do not run tests if binaries fail to
build.
Architectures which use RETURN_VALUE_STRUCT_CONVENTION will have a
NULL return value after executing a finish command. See get_return_value()
in infcmd.c.
This patch avoids an eventual SIGSEV (caused by attempting to
derefrence a NULL pointer) by adding a suitable test to
finish_command_fsm_should_stop().
I encountered this problem while testing msp430:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/structs.exp: zed L<n> for finish; return 1 structs-tc
finish

Compilers can materialize renamings of arrays (or of accesses to arrays)
in Ada into variables whose types are references to the actual array
types. Before this change, trying to use such an array renaming yielded
an error in GDB:
(gdb) print my_array(1)
cannot subscript or call a record
(gdb) print my_array_ptr(1)
cannot subscript or call something of type `(null)'
This behavior comes from bad handling for array renamings, in particular
the OP_FUNCALL expression operator handling from ada-lang.c
(ada_evaluate_subexp): in one place we turn the reference into a
pointer, but the code that follows expect the value to be an array.
This patch fixes how we handle references in call/subscript evaluation
so that we turn these references into the actual array values instead of
pointers to them.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_FUNCALL>: When the input
value is a reference, actually dereference it in order to get
the underlying value.

ret->args_u.text is const char *, probe_args is const char *, so no cast
is needed. Found while doing cxx-conversion stuff, since it wouldn't
build in C++.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* stap-probe.c (handle_stap_probe): Remove unnecessary cast.
Two missing consts, found while doing cxx-conversion work. We end up
with a char*, even though we pass a const char* to strstr. I am pushing
this as obvious.

When installing a fast tracepoint, we create a jump pad with a
spin-lock. This way, only one thread can collect a given tracepoint at
any time. This test case checks that this lock actually works as
expected.
This test works by creating a function which overrides the in-process
agent library's gdb_collect function. On start up, GDBserver will ask
GDB with the 'qSymbol' packet about symbols present in the inferior.
GDB will reply with the gdb_agent_gdb_collect function from the test
case instead of the one from the agent.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/ftrace-lock.c: New file.
* gdb.trace/ftrace-lock.exp: New file.
This test case makes sure that relocating PC relative instructions does
not change their behaviors. All PC relative AArch64 instructions are
covered. While call and jump (32 bit relative) instructions are covered
on x86.
The test case creates a static array of function pointers for each
supported architecture. Each function in this array tests a specific
instruction using inline assembly. They all need to contain a symbol in
the form of 'set_point\[0-9\]+' and finish by either calling pass or
fail. The number of 'set_pointN' needs to go from 0 to
(ARRAY_SIZE - 1).
The test will:
- look up the number of function pointers in the static array.
- set fast tracepoints on each 'set_point\[0-9\]+' symbol, one in each
functions from 0 to (ARRAY_SIZE - 1).
- run the trace experiment and make sure the pass function is called for
every function.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/insn-reloc.c: New file.
* gdb.arch/ftrace-insn-reloc.exp: New file.
This patch implements compiling agent expressions to native code for
AArch64. This allows us to compile conditions set on fast tracepoints.
The compiled function has the following prologue:
High *------------------------------------------------------*
| LR |
| FP | <- FP
| x1 (ULONGEST *value) |
| x0 (unsigned char *regs) |
Low *------------------------------------------------------*
We save the function's argument on the stack as well as the return
address and the frame pointer. We then set the current frame pointer to
point to the previous one.
The generated code for the expression will freely update the stack
pointer so we use the frame pointer to refer to `*value' and `*regs'.
`*value' needs to be accessed in the epilogue of the function, in order
to set it to whatever is on top of the stack. `*regs' needs to be passed
down to the `gdb_agent_get_raw_reg' function with the `reg' operation.

This patch adds support for fast tracepoints for aarch64-linux. With this
implementation, a tracepoint can only be placed in a +/- 128MB range of
the jump pad. This is due to the unconditional branch instruction
being limited to a (26 bit << 2) offset from the current PC.
Three target operations are implemented:
- target_install_fast_tracepoint_jump_pad
Building the jump pad the biggest change of this patch. We need to add
functions to emit all instructions needed to save and restore the
current state when the tracepoint is hit. As well as implementing a
lock and creating a collecting_t object identifying the current thread.
Steps performed by the jump pad:
* Save the current state on the stack.
* Push a collecting_t object on the stack. We read the special
tpidr_el0 system register to get the thread ID.
* Spin-lock on the shared memory location of all tracing threads. We
write the address of our collecting_t object there once we have the
lock.
* Call gdb_collect.
* Release the lock.
* Restore the state.
* Execute the replaced instruction which will have been relocated.
* Jump back to the program.
- target_get_thread_area
As implemented in ps_get_thread_area, target_get_thread_area uses ptrace
to fetch the NT_ARM_TLS register. At the architecture level, NT_ARM_TLS
represents the tpidr_el0 system register.
So this ptrace call (if lwpid is the current thread):
~~~
ptrace (PTRACE_GETREGSET, lwpid, NT_ARM_TLS, &iovec);
~~~
Is equivalent to the following instruction:
~~~
msr x0, tpidr_el0
~~~
This instruction is used when creating the collecting_t object that
GDBserver can read to know if a given thread is currently tracing.
So target_get_thread_area must get the same thread IDs as what the jump
pad writes into its collecting_t object.
- target_get_min_fast_tracepoint_insn_len
This just returns 4.

We have noticed that GDB would sometimes crash trying to print
from a nested function the value of a variable declared in an
enclosing scope. This appears to be target dependent, although
that correlation might only be fortuitious. We noticed the issue
on x86_64-darwin, x86-vxworks6 and x86-solaris. The investigation
was done on Darwin.
This is a new feature that was introduced by:
commit 63e43d3aed
Date: Thu Feb 5 17:00:06 2015 +0100
DWARF: handle non-local references in nested functions
We can reproduce the problem with one of the testcases that was
added with the patch (gdb.base/nested-subp1.exp), where we have...
18 int
19 foo (int i1)
20 {
21 int
22 nested (int i2)
23 {
[...]
27 return i1 * i2; /* STOP */
28 }
... After building the example program, and running until line 27,
try printing the value of "i1":
% gdb gdb.base/nested-subp1
(gdb) break foo.c:27
(gdb) run
Breakpoint 1, nested (i2=2) at /[...]/nested-subp1.c:27
27 return i1 * i2; /* STOP */
(gdb) p i1
[1] 73090 segmentation fault ../gdb -q gdb.base/nested-subp1
Ooops!
What happens is that, because the reference is non-local, we are trying
to follow the function's static link, which does...
/* If we don't know how to compute FRAME's base address, don't give up:
maybe the frame we are looking for is upper in the stace frame. */
if (framefunc != NULL
&& SYMBOL_BLOCK_OPS (framefunc)->get_frame_base != NULL
&& (SYMBOL_BLOCK_OPS (framefunc)->get_frame_base (framefunc, frame)
== upper_frame_base))
... or, in other words, calls the get_frame_base "method" of
framefunc's struct symbol_block_ops data. This resolves to
the block_op_get_frame_base function.
Looking at the function's implementation, we see:
struct dwarf2_locexpr_baton *dlbaton;
[...]
dlbaton = SYMBOL_LOCATION_BATON (framefunc);
[...]
result = dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc (type, frame, start, length,
dlbaton->per_cu);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Printing dlbaton->per_cu gives a value that seems fairly bogus for
a memory address (0x60). Because of it, dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc
then crashes trying to dereference it.
What's different on Darwin compared to Linux is that the function's
frame base is encoded using the following form:
.byte 0x40 # uleb128 0x40; (DW_AT_frame_base)
.byte 0x6 # uleb128 0x6; (DW_FORM_data4)
... and so dwarf2_symbol_mark_computed ends up creating
a SYMBOL_LOCATION_BATON as a struct dwarf2_loclist_baton:
if (attr_form_is_section_offset (attr)
/* .debug_loc{,.dwo} may not exist at all, or the offset may be outside
the section. If so, fall through to the complaint in the
other branch. */
&& DW_UNSND (attr) < dwarf2_section_size (objfile, section))
{
struct dwarf2_loclist_baton *baton;
[...]
SYMBOL_LOCATION_BATON (sym) = baton;
However, if you look more closely at block_op_get_frame_base's
implementation, you'll notice that the function extracts the
symbol's SYMBOL_LOCATION_BATON as a dwarf2_locexpr_baton
(a DWARF _expression_ rather than a _location list_).
That's why we end up decoding the DLBATON improperly, and thus
pass a random dlbaton->per_cu when calling dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc.
This works on x86_64-linux, because we indeed have the frame base
described using a different form:
.uleb128 0x40 # (DW_AT_frame_base)
.uleb128 0x18 # (DW_FORM_exprloc)
This patch fixes the issue by doing what we do for most (if not all)
other such methods: providing one implementation each for loc-list,
and loc-expr. Both implementations are nearly identical, so perhaps
we might later want to improve this. But this patch first tries to
fix the crash first, leaving the design issue for later.

With the kernle fix <http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/356511.html>,
aarch64 GDB is able to read the base of thread area of 32-bit arm
program through NT_ARM_TLS.
This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBserver to read the base of
thread area correctly in the multi-arch case. A new function
aarch64_ps_get_thread_area is added, and is shared between GDB and
GDBserver.

In all-stop mode, record btrace maintains the old behaviour of an implicit
scheduler-locking on.
Now that we added a scheduler-locking mode to model this old behaviour, we
don't need the respective code in record btrace anymore. Remove it.
For all-stop targets, step inferior_ptid and continue other threads matching
the argument ptid. Assert that inferior_ptid matches the argument ptid.
This should make record btrace honour scheduler-locking.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_resume): Honour scheduler-locking.
testsuite/
* gdb.btrace/multi-thread-step.exp: Test scheduler-locking on, step,
and replay.
Record targets behave as if scheduler-locking were on in replay mode. Add a
new scheduler-locking option "replay" to make this implicit behaviour explicit.
It behaves like "on" in replay mode and like "off" in record mode.
By making the current behaviour a scheduler-locking option, we allow the user
to change it. Since it is the current behaviour, this new option is also
the new default.
One caveat is that when resuming a thread that is at the end of its execution
history, record btrace implicitly stops replaying other threads and resumes
the entire process. This is a convenience feature to not require the user
to explicitly move all other threads to the end of their execution histories
before being able to resume the process.
We mimick this behaviour with scheduler-locking replay and move it from
record-btrace into infrun. With all-stop on top of non-stop, we can't do
this in record-btrace anymore.
Record full does not really support multi-threading and is therefore not
impacted. If it were extended to support multi-threading, it would 'benefit'
from this change. The good thing is that all record targets will behave the
same with respect to scheduler-locking.
I put the code for this into clear_proceed_status. It also sends the
about_to_proceed notification.

The record btrace target does not allow accessing memory and storing registers
while replaying. For multi-threaded applications, this prevents those
accesses also for threads that are at the end of their execution history as
long as at least one thread is replaying.
Change this to only check if the selected thread is replaying. This allows
threads that are at the end of their execution history to read and write
memory and to store registers.
Also change the error message to reflect this change.

The to_record_is_replaying target method is used to query record targets if

Add a PTID argument and change the interpretation to "is any thread matching
PTID being replayed".
Change all users to pass minus_one_ptid to preserve the old meaning.
The record full target does not really support multi-threading and ignores
the PTID argument.

A thread that runs out of its execution history is stopped. We already set
stop_pc and call stop_waiting. But we do not switch to the stopped thread.
In normal_stop, we call finish_thread_state_cleanup to set a thread's running
state. In all-stop mode, we call it with minus_one_ptid; in non-stop mode, we
only call it for inferior_ptid.
If in non-stop mode normal_stop is called on behalf of a thread that is not
inferior_ptid, that other thread will still be reported as running. If it is
actually stopped it can't be resumed again.
Record targets traditionally don't support non-stop and only resume
inferior_ptid. So this has not been a problem, so far.
Switch to the eventing thread for NO_HISTORY events as preparation to support
non-stop for the record btrace target.
gdb/
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): Switch to the eventing thread
in the TARKET_WAITKIND_NO_HISTORY case.
The record btrace target runs synchronous with GDB. That is, GDB steps
resumed threads in record btrace's to_wait method. Without GDB calling
to_wait, nothing happens 'on the target'.
Check for further expected events in to_wait before reporting the current
event and mark record btrace's async event handler in async mode.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_maybe_mark_async_event): New.
(record_btrace_wait): Call record_btrace_maybe_mark_async_event.
Get_current_frame uses inferior_ptid. In record_btrace_start_replaying,
we need to get the current frame of the argument thread. So far, this
has always been inferior_ptid. With non-stop, this is not guaranteed.
Temporarily set inferior_ptid to the ptid of the argument thread.
We already temporarily set the argument thread's executing flag to false.
Move both into a new function get_thread_current_frame that does the temporary
adjustments, calls get_current_frame, and restores the previous values.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (get_thread_current_frame): New.
(record_btrace_start_replaying): Call get_thread_current_frame.
The record targets are implicitly schedlocked. They only step the current
thread and keep other threads where they are.
Change record btrace to step all requested threads in to_resume.
For maintenance and debugging, we keep the old behaviour when the target below
is not non-stop. Enable with "maint set target-non-stop on".
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_resume_thread): A move request
overwrites a previous move request.
(record_btrace_find_resume_thread): Removed.
(record_btrace_resume): Resume all requested threads.
Record btrace's to_wait method picks a single thread to step. When passed
minus_one_ptid, it picks the current thread. All other threads remain where
they are.
Change this to step all resumed threads together, one step at a time, until
the first thread reports an event.
We do delay reporting NO_HISTORY events until there are no other events to
report to prevent threads at the end of their execution history from starving
other threads.
We keep threads at the end of their execution history moving and replaying
until we announce their stop in to_wait. This shouldn't really be user-visible
but its a detail worth mentioning.
Since record btrace's to_resume method also picks only a single thread to
resume, there shouldn't be a difference with the current all-stop.
With non-stop or all-stop on top of non-stop, we will see differences. The
behaviour should be more natural as we're moving all threads.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c: Include vec.h.

(record_btrace_step_thread): Do only one step for BTHR_CONT and
BTHR_RCONT. Keep threads at the end of their history moving.
(record_btrace_wait): Call record_btrace_step_thread for all threads
until one reports an event. Call record_btrace_stop_replaying_at_end
for the eventing thread.
If a single-step ended right at the end of the execution history, we forgot
to announce that. Fix it.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_single_step_forward): Return
NO_HISTORY if a step brings us to the end of the execution history.
Breakpoints are only checked for BTHR_CONT and BTHR_RCONT stepping requests.
A BTHR_STEP and BTHR_RSTEP request will always report stopped without reason.
Since breakpoints are reported correctly, I assume infrun is handling this.
Move the breakpoint check into the btrace single stepping functions. This
will cause us to report breakpoint hits now also for single-step requests.
One thing to notice is that
- when executing forwards, the breakpoint is checked before 'executing'
the instruction, i.e. before moving the PC to the next instruction.
- when executing backwards, the breakpoint is checked after 'executing'
the instruction, i.e. after moving the PC to the preceding instruction
in the recorded execution.
There is code in infrun (see, for example proceed and adjust_pc_after_break)
that handles this and also depends on this behaviour.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_step_thread): Move breakpoint check
to ...
(record_btrace_single_step_forward): ... here and
(record_btrace_single_step_backward): ... here.
The code for BTHR_STEP and BTHR_CONT is fairly similar. Extract the common
parts into a new function record_btrace_single_step_forward. The function
returns TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to indicate that the single-step completed
without triggering a trap.
Same for BTHR_RSTEP and BTHR_RCONT.

(init_record_btrace_ops): Initialize to_stop.
The record btrace target stops other threads in non-stop mode after stepping
the to-be-resumed thread.
The check is done on the non_stop variable. It should rather be done on
target_is_non_stop_p (). With all-stop on top of non-stop, infrun will
take care of stopping other threads.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_wait): Replace non_stop check with
target_is_non_stop_p ().
This patch adds a test case for tracepoints with a condition expression.

On software single-step targets that don't support displaced stepping,
threads keep hitting each other's single-step breakpoints, and then
GDB needs to pause all threads to step past those. The end result is
that progress in the main thread will be slower and it may take a bit
longer for the signal to be queued. This patch bumps the timeout on
such targets.

easily, with a one-line change.

This change is relevant only for standard DWARF (as opposed to the GNAT
encodings extensions): at the time of writing it only makes a difference
with GCC patches that are to be integrated: see the patch series
submission at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01353.html>.
Given the following Ada declarations:
subtype Small_Int is Natural range 0 .. 100;
type R_Type (L : Small_Int := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. L);
end record;
type A_Type is array (Natural range <>) of R_Type;
A : A_Type := (1 => (L => 0, S => ""),
2 => (L => 2, S => "ab"));
Before this change, we would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) ptype a
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo.r_type <packed: 838-bit elements>
This is wrong: "a" is not a packed array. This output comes from the
fact that, because R_Type has a dynamic size (with a maximum), the
compiler has to describe in the debugging information the size allocated
for each array element (i.e. the stride, in DWARF parlance: see
DW_AT_byte_stride). Ada type printing currently assumes that arrays
with a stride are packed, hence the above output.
In practice, GNAT never performs bit-packing for arrays that contain
variable-sized elements. Leveraging this fact, this patch enhances type
printing so that ptype does not pretend that arrays are packed when they
have a stride and they contain dynamic elements. After this change, we
get the following expected output:
(gdb) ptype a
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo.r_type

This is already how the parent is reported in the vfork/fork events,

documentation change, the event would have been reported like this

This is not non-stop-mode-specific, however. Consider e.g., that in
all-stop, you may be debugging more than one process at the same time.
You continue, and both processes vfork. So when you next get a
T05vforkdone, there's no way to tell which of the parent processes is
done with the vfork.
Tests will be added later.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Nowadays, GDB only knows whether architecture supports hardware single
step or software single step (through gdbarch hook software_single_step),
and for a given instruction or instruction sequence, GDB knows how to
do single step (hardware or software). However, GDB doesn't know whether
the target supports hardware single step. It is possible that the
architecture doesn't support hardware single step, such as arm, but
the target supports, such as simulator. This was discussed in this
thread https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-12/msg00033.html before.
I encounter this problem for aarch64 multi-arch support. When aarch64
debugs arm program, gdbarch is arm, so software single step is still
used. However, the underneath linux kernel does support hardware
single step, so IWBN to use it.
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook to_can_do_single_step, and
only use it in arm_linux_software_single_step to decide whether or not
to use hardware single step. On the native aarch64 linux target, 1 is
returned. On other targets, -1 is returned. On the remote target, if
the target supports s and S actions in the vCont? reply, then target
can do single step. However, old GDBserver will send s and S in the
reply to vCont?, which will confuse new GDB. For example, old GDBserver
on arm-linux will send s and S in the reply to vCont?, but it doesn't
support hardware single step. On the other hand, new GDBserver, on
arm-linux for example, will not send s and S in the reply to vCont?,
but old GDB thinks it doesn't support vCont packet at all. In order
to address this problem, I add a new qSupported feature vContSupported,
which indicates GDB wants to know the supported actions in the reply
to vCont?, and qSupported response contains vContSupported if the
stub is able tell supported vCont actions in the reply of vCont?.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
then, GDB knows the stub can do single step, and may stop using software
single step even the architecture doesn't support hardware single step.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on arm, the last vCont?
reply will become:
<- vCont;c;C;t
GDB thinks the target doesn't support single step, so it will use software
single step.
If the patched GDB talks with unpatched GDBserver, the RSP traffic is like
this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
although GDBserver returns s and S, GDB still thinks GDBserver may not
support single step because it doesn't support vContSupported.
If the unpatched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like:
-> $qSupported:...+;
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
Since GDB doesn't sent vContSupported in the qSupported feature, GDBserver
sends s and S regardless of the support of hardware single step.

This patch, relative to a tree with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00295.html, fixes
issues/crashes that trigger if something unexpected happens during a
hook-stop.
E.g., if the inferior disappears while running the hook-stop, we hit
failed assertions:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>kill
>end
(gdb) si
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
I noticed that if a hook-stop issues a synchronous execution command,
we print the same stop event twice:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>si
>end
(gdb) si
0x000000000040074a 42 args[i] = 1; /* Init value. */ <<<<<<< once

The fix has GDB stop processing the event if the context changed. I
don't expect people to be doing crazy things from the hook-stop.
E.g., it gives me headaches to try to come up a proper behavior for
handling a thread change from a hook-stop... (E.g., imagine the
hook-stop does thread N; step, with scheduler-locing on). I think the
most important bit here is preventing crashes.
The patch adds a new hook-stop.exp test that covers the above and also
merges in the old hook-stop-continue.exp and hook-stop-frame.exp into
the same framework.

This change is relevant only for standard DWARF (as opposed to the GNAT
encodings extensions): at the time of writing it only makes a difference
with GCC patches that are to be integrated: see in particular
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01364.html>.
Given the following Ada declarations:
type Small is mod 2 ** 6;
type Array_Type is array (0 .. 9) of Small
with Pack;
type Array_Access is access all Array_Type;
A : aliased Array_Type := (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);
AA : constant Array_Type := A'Access;
Before this change, we would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) print aa.all(2)
$1 = 3
(gdb) print aa(2)
$2 = 16
This is wrong: both expression should yield the same value: 3. The
problem is simply that the routine which handles accesses to arrays lack
general handling for packed arrays. After this patch, we have the
expected output:
(gdb) print aa.all(2)
$1 = 3
(gdb) print aa(2)
$2 = 3

This patch updates several exec-related tests and some of the library
functions in order to get them running with extended-remote. There were
three changes that were required, as follows:
In gdb.base/foll-exec.exp, use 'clean_start' in place of proc 'zap_session'
to reset the state of the debugger between tests. This sets 'remote
exec-file' to execute the correct binary file in each subsequent test.
In gdb.base/pie-execl.exp, there is an expect statement with an expression
that is used to match output from both gdb and the program under debug.
For the remote target, this had to be split into two expressions, using
$inferior_spawn_id to match the output from the program.
Because I had encountered problems with extended-remote exec events in
non-stop mode in my manual testing, I added non-stop testing to the
non-ldr-exc-[1234].exp tests. In order to set non-stop mode for remote
targets, it is necessary to 'set non-stop on' after gdb has started, but
before it connects to gdbserver. This is done using 'save_vars' to set
non-stop mode in GDBFLAGS, so GDB sets non-stop mode on startup.

This patch implements exec catchpoints for extended-remote Linux
targets. The implementation follows the same approach used for
fork catchpoints, implementing extended-remote target routines for
inserting and removing the catchpoints by just checking if exec events
are supported. Existing host-side code and previous support for
extended-remote exec events takes care of the rest.

This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

Nowadays, GDB calls target_can_download_tracepoint at the entry of
download_tracepoint_locations, which is called by.
update_global_location_list. Sometimes, it is not needed to call
target_can_download_tracepoint at all because there is no tracepoint
created. In remote target, target_can_download_tracepoint send
qTStatus to the remote in order to know whether tracepoint can be
downloaded or not. This means some redundant qTStatus packets are
sent.
This patch is to teach GDB to call target_can_download_tracepoint
lazily, only on the moment there are tracepoint to download.
gdb.perf/single-step.exp (with a local patch to measure RSP packets)
shows the number of RSP packets is reduced because there is no
tracepoint at all, so GDB doesn't send qTStatus any more.

This adds an object oriented replacement for the "struct continuation"
mechanism, and converts the stepping commands (step, next, stepi,
nexti) and the "finish" commands to use it.
It adds a new thread "class" (struct thread_fsm) that contains the
necessary info and callbacks to manage the state machine of a thread's
execution command.
This allows getting rid of some hacks. E.g., in fetch_inferior_event
and normal_stop we no longer need to know whether a thread is doing a
multi-step (e.g., step N). This effectively makes the
intermediate_continuations unused -- they'll be garbage collected in a
separate patch. (They were never a proper abstraction, IMO. See how
fetch_inferior_event needs to check step_multi before knowing whether
to call INF_EXEC_CONTINUE or INF_EXEC_COMPLETE.)
The target async vs !async uiout hacks in mi_on_normal_stop go away
too.
print_stop_event is no longer called from normal_stop. Instead it is
now called from within each interpreter's normal_stop observer. This
clears the path to make each interpreter print a stop event the way it
sees fit. Currently we have some hacks in common code to
differenciate CLI vs TUI vs MI around this area.
The "finish" command's FSM class stores the return value plus that
value's position in the value history, so that those can be printed to
both MI and CLI's streams. This fixes the CLI "finish" command when
run from MI -- it now also includes the function's return value in the
CLI stream:

* gdb.mi/mi-cli.exp: Add CLI finish tests.
This patch makes the execution control code use largely the same
mechanisms in both sync- and async-capable targets. This means using
continuations and use the event loop to react to target events on sync
targets as well. The trick is to immediately mark infrun's event loop
source after resume instead of calling wait_for_inferior. Then
fetch_inferior_event is adjusted to do a blocking wait on sync
targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver, with and without
"maint set target-async off".

For the BTS recording format, we sometimes get a FROM->TO record where the
FROM address lies in the kernel and the TO address lies in user space at
whatever address the user process was resumed.
GDB has a heuristic to filter out such records based on looking at the most
significant bit in the PC. This works fine for 64-bit systems but it doesn't
always work for 32-bit systems. Libraries that are loaded at fairly high
addresses might be mistaken for kernel code and branches inside the library
are filtered out.
Change the heuristic to (again heuristically) try to determine the lowest
address in kernel space. Any PC that is smaller than that should be in
user space.
On today's systems, there should be a symbol "_text" at that address.
Read /proc/kallsyms and search for that symbol.
It is not guaranteed that /proc/kallsyms is readable on all systems. On
64-bit systems, we fall back to check the most significant bit. On 32-bit
systems, we refrain from filtering out addresses.
The filtering should really be done by the kernel. And it soon will be:

Before this change, trying to call an overloaded function with at least
one character literal in argument would fail. For instance, given these
two functions:
function F (C : Character) return Integer is
begin
return Character'Pos (C);
end F;
function F (I : Integer) return Integer is
begin
return -I;
end F;
We would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) p f('A')
$1 = -65
(gdb) p f(1)
$1 = -1
This is wrong because the first call should select the first F function
and thus return 65.
The root problem is that ada-lang.c:ada_language_arch_info stores in
string_char_type a type whose code is TYPE_CODE_INT instead of
TYPE_CODE_CHAR. As a result, all parsed character literals are turned
into integer values and during overload matching, the TYPE_CODE_CHAR
formal rejects the TYPE_CODE_INT actual.
This change turns string_char_type into a true TYPE_CODE_CHAR type in
ada-lang.c so that we have instead the expected:
(gdb) p f('A')
$1 = 65

Nowadays, if user requests HW watchpoint to monitor a large memory area
or unaligned area, aarch64 GDB will split into multiple aligned areas,
and use multiple debugging registers to watch them. However, the
registers are not updated in a transaction way. GDBserver doesn't revert
updates in previous iterations if some debugging registers fail to update
due to some reason, like no free debugging registers available, in the
latter iteration. For example, if we have a char buf[34], and watch buf
in gdb,
(gdb) watch buf
Hardware watchpoint 2: buf
(gdb) c

four debugging registers can not monitor 34-byte long area, so the last
iteration of updating debugging register state fails but previous
iterations succeed. This makes GDB think no HW watchpoint is inserted
but some debugging registers are used.
This problem was exposed by "watch buf" gdb.base/watchpoint.exp with
aarch64 GDBserver debugging arm 32-bit program. The buf is 30-byte long
but 4-byte aligned, and four debugging registers can't cover 34-byte
(extend 4 bytes to be 8-byte aligned) area. However, this problem
does exist on non-multi-arch debugging scenario as well.
This patch moves code in aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_hw_watchpoint to
aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_watchpoint in nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c.
Then, checks with aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_watchpoint, like what we
are doing in GDB. If the region is OK, call aarch64_handle_watchpoint.
Regression tested on aarch64 with both 64-bit program and 32-bit
program. Some fails in gdb.base/watchpoint.exp are fixed.

Since the type whose name is being set is now being allocated on the

Following commit 8f57eec2fb ("Use gdbarch obstack to allocate types in

copy_type_recursive is allocated using malloc. Because the function
uses alloc_type_arch internally, the new type is now allocated on the
gdbarch associated with the type, and is thus owned by that gdbarch.

Yet another BuildBot e-mail, yet another breakage on RHEL-7.1 s390x

RHEL-7.1 s390x. On solib-svr4.c:svr4_handle_solib_event, 'val' now

* solib-svr4.c (svr4_handle_solib_event): Initialize 'val' as NULL
This patch is intended to make the interaction between the
probes-based dynamic linker interface and the SystemTap SDT probe code
on GDB more robust. It does that by wrapping the calls to the probe
API with TRY...CATCH'es, so that any exception thrown will be caught
and handled properly.
The idea for this patch came from
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196181>, which is a bug
initially filed against Fedora GDB (but now under Fedora GLIBC). This
bug happens on armhfp (although it could happen on other targets as
well), and is triggered because GCC generates a strange argument for
one of the probes used by GDB in the dynamic linker interface. As can
be seen in the bug, this argument is "-4@.L1052".
I don't want to discuss the reasons for this argument to be there
(this discussion belongs to the bug, or to another thread), but GDB
could definitely do a better error handling here. Currently, one sees
the following message when there is an error in the probes-based
dynamic linker interface:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /bin/inferior
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
Cannot parse expression `.L976 4@r4'.
(gdb)
Which means that one needs to explicitly issue a "continue" command to
make GDB continue running the inferior, even though this error is not
fatal and GDB will fallback to the old interface automatically.
This is where this patch helps: it makes GDB still print the necessary
warnings or error messages, but it *also* does not stop the inferior
unnecessarily.
I have tested this patch on the systems where this error happens, but
I could not come up with a way to create a testcase for it.
Nevertheless, it should be straightforward to see that this patch does
improve the current situation.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-09-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* solib-svr4.c (solib_event_probe_action): Call
get_probe_argument_count using TRY...CATCH.
(svr4_handle_solib_event): Likewise, for evaluate_probe_argument.
This patch improves the error reporting when handling SystemTap SDT
probes. "Handling", in this case, mostly means "parsing".
On gdb/probe.h, only trivial changes on functions' comments in order
to explicitly mention that some of them can throw exceptions. This is
just to make the API a bit more clear.
On gdb/stap-probe.c, I have s/internal_error/error/ on two functions
that are responsible for parsing specific bits of the probes'
arguments: stap_get_opcode and stap_get_expected_argument_type. It is
not correct to call internal_error on such situations because it is
not really GDB's fault if the probes have malformed arguments. I also
improved the error reported on stap_get_expected_argument_type by also
including the probe name on it.
Aside from that, and perhaps most importantly, I added a check on
stap_get_arg to make sure that we don't try to extract an argument
from a probe that has no arguments. This check issues an
internal_error, because it really means that GDB is doing something it
shouldn't.
Although it can be considered almost trivial, and despite the fact
that I am the maintainer for this part of the code, I am posting this
patch for review. I will wait a few days, and if nobody has anything
to say, I will go ahead and push it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-09-01 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* probe.h (struct probe_ops) <get_probe_argument_count,
evaluate_probe_argument, enable_probe, disable_probe>: Mention in
the comment that the function can throw an exception.
(get_probe_argument_count): Likewise.
(evaluate_probe_argument): Likewise.
* stap-probe.c (stap_get_opcode): Call error instead of
internal_error.
(stap_get_expected_argument_type): Likewise. Add argument
'probe'. Improve error message by mentioning the probe's name.
(stap_parse_probe_arguments): Adjust call to
stap_get_expected_argument_type.
(stap_get_arg): Add comment. Assert that 'probe->args_parsed' is
not zero. Call internal_error if GDB requests an argument but the
probe has no arguments.
Before this change, trying to complete an expression ending with an
ambiguous function name (i.e. for which there are multiple matches)
would display a menu with a prompt for the user to pick one. For
instance:
(gdb) p func<tab>Multiple matches for func
[0] cancel
[1] pack2.func at pack2.adb:5
[2] pack.func at pack.adb:5
>
This is not user friendly and actually triggered a segmentation fault
after the user did pick one. It is not clear whether the segmentation
fault needs a separate fix, but this is the only known case which
exhibits it at the moment, and this case must be fixed itself.
The problem lies in ada-lang.c (ada_resolve_function): when we got
multiple matches, we should not display the menu if we are in completion
mode. This patch adjusts the corresponding condition accordingly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_resolve_function): Do not ask the user what
match to use when in completion mode.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/complete.exp: Add "pck.ambiguous_func" to the relevant
expected outputs. Add two testcases for completing ambiguous
functions.
* gdb.ada/complete/aux_pck.adb: New file.
* gdb.ada/complete/aux_pck.ads: New file.
* gdb.ada/complete/foo.adb: Pull Aux_Pck and call the two
Ambiguous_Func functions.
* gdb.ada/complete/pck.ads: Add an Ambiguous_Func function.
* gdb.ada/complete/pck.adb: Likewise.
Tested on x86_64-linux, no regression.
Small clean up to make a local variable const and remove a cast of NULL.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-data.c (tui_win_name): Make local variable const, remove
cast of NULL.
Use XSHAL_ABI value provided by xtensa-config.h to correctly initialize
xtensa_tdep.call_abi
This fixes calls to functions from GDB that otherwise fail with the
following assertion in call0 configuration:
gdb/regcache.c:602: internal-error: regcache_raw_read: Assertion
`regnum >= 0 && regnum < regcache->descr->nr_raw_registers' failed.

gdb/
* xtensa-tdep.h (XTENSA_GDBARCH_TDEP_INSTANTIATE): Initialize
call_abi using XSHAL_ABI macro.
Since the type whose name is being set is now being allocated on the
gdbarch obstack, we should allocate its TYPE_NAME on the obstack too.
This reduces the number of individual valgrind warnings for the command
"gdb gdb" from ~300 to ~150.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.h (gdbarch_obstack_strdup): Declare.
* gdbarch.c (gdbarch_obstack_strdup): Define.
* gdbtypes.c (arch_type): Use it.
For the command "gdb gdb" valgrind currently reports 100s of individual
memory leaks, 500 of which originate solely out of the function
alloc_type_arch. This function allocates a "struct type" associated
with the given gdbarch using malloc but apparently the types allocated
by this function are never freed.
This patch fixes these leaks by making the function alloc_type_arch
allocate these gdbarch-associated types on the gdbarch obstack instead
of on the general heap. Since, from what I can tell, the types
allocated by this function are all fundamental "wired-in" types, such
types would not benefit from more granular memory management anyway.
They would likely live as long as the gdbarch is alive so allocating
them on the gdbarch obstack makes sense.
With this patch, the number of individual vargrind warnings emitted for
the command "gdb gdb" drops from ~800 to ~300.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbtypes.c (alloc_type_arch): Allocate the type on the given
gdbarch obstack instead of on the heap. Update commentary
accordingly.
solib_ops are installed as a property of the inferior gdbarch,
so they need to be systematically looked up via that architecture,
not some objfile architecture.

* solib.c (solib_global_lookup): Fetch arch from objfile,
not target_gdbarch.
When debugging Cell/B.E. code, the cross-architecture frame unwinding
works by accessing data structures refered to by a thread-local variable
in the inferior. While accessing this variable via minimal symbol,
code would use BMSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS to determine the offset of the
variable in the thread-local storage block.
This is incorrect, since it adds any relocation offset of the shared
library defining the TLS variable. That offset would be OK when
accessing the initial copy present in the .tbss section, but it must
not be applied to the offset of the variable in the TLS block at
runtime. Depending on whether or not the libspe2.so library was
prelinked, access to the variable would fail due to the incorrectly
relocated offset.
ChangeLog:
* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_spe_context_lookup): Do not
attempt to relocate a TLS variable offset.
With recent changes to inferior handling, parse_spufs_run needs to be
more careful in assumptions it makes. In particular, this patch:
- Bails out early if the current inferior has not yet been registered
(e.g. during fork procession) to avoid assertion failures in register
cache code.
- Sets inferior_ptid to the current ptid while calling target_read_memory
to make sure the correct process is accessed if parse_spufs_run is
called early when inferior_ptid has not yet been switched by the caller.
ChangeLog:
* spu-multiarch.c (parse_spufs_run): Bail out if inferior is not
registered yet. Set inferior_ptid while calling target_read_memory.
The Linux target and gdbserver now check the siginfo si_code
reported on a SIGTRAP to detect whether the trap indicates
a software breakpoint was hit.
Unfortunately, on Cell/B.E., the kernel uses an si_code value
of TRAP_BRKPT when a SW breakpoint was hit in PowerPC code,
but a si_code value of SI_KERNEL when a SW breakpoint was
hit in SPU code.
This patch updates Linux target and gdbserver to accept both
si_code values to indicate SW breakpoint on PowerPC.
ChangeLog:
* nat/linux-ptrace.h (GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT): Replace by ...
(GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT): ... this. Add __powerpc__ case.
* linux-nat.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Use
GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT instead of GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Use
GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT instead of GDB_ARCH_TRAP_BRKPT.
