A `bfd_reloc_outofrange' condition from `mips_elf_calculate_relocation'
currently triggers the warning callback, which in the case of LD prints
messages like:
foo.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x0): warning: JALX to a non-word-aligned address
or:
foo.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x0): warning: PC-relative load from unaligned address
and nothing else, which suggests this is a benign condition and link has
otherwise successfully run to completion. This is however not the case,
the link terminates right away with no further messages and no output
produced.
Use the general error or warning info callback then, preserving the
message format. Also set a BFD error condition so that a failure is
unambiguously reported. Complement the change with a set of suitable
test suite additions.

Since existing ld and gold support the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives, we
can use the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives as 64-bit archives. Since the
plugin target is used to create archive in plugin-enabled ar, we need
a way to enable 64-bit archives in the plugin target. This patch adds
--enable-64-bit-archive to bfd to force 64-bit archives in ar and
ranlib. Since both 64-bit MIPS and s390 ELF targets currently use
64-bit archives, 64-bit archives are enabled by default for them.
64-bit archive is generated automatically if the archive is too big.
Tested on Linux/x86 and Linux/x86-64 with existing ld and gold.

This patch fixes PR python/17386.
The bug is that gdb.Value does not implement the Python __index__
method. This method is needed to convert a Python object to an index
and is used by various operations in Python, such as indexing an
array.
The fix is to implement the nb_index method for gdb.Value.
nb_index was added in Python 2.5. I don't have a good way to test
Python 2.4, but I made an attempt to accomodate it.
I chose to use valpy_long in all cases because this simplifies porting
to Python 3, and because there didn't seem to be any harm.

Python 2's PyNumberMethods has nb_inplace_divide, but Python 3 does

This buglet didn't cause much fallout because the only non-NULL entry
in value_object_as_number after this is for valpy_divide; and the
missing slot caused it to slide up to nb_floor_divide (where
nb_true_divide was intended).

When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir
for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them.
Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program
is multi threaded and linked with pthreads. Thus when GDB soon after
attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll
add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found
lower-level LWPs.

is adding the LWPs to the thread list. And because of that, "detach"

gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp fail once in an
unusual way. Unfortunately I didn't keep debug logs, but it's an
issue similar to what's been fixed in remote.c a while ago --
linux-nat.c was not fetching the pending status from the right place.

Hacking the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test to
spawn thousands of threads instead of dozens, and running gdb under
perf, I saw that GDB was spending most of the time in find_lwp_pid:
- captured_main
- 93.61% catch_command_errors
- 87.41% attach_command
- 87.40% linux_nat_attach
- 87.40% linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads
- 82.38% attach_proc_task_lwp_callback
- 81.01% find_lwp_pid
5.30% ptid_get_lwp
+ 0.10% ptid_lwp_p
+ 0.64% add_thread
+ 0.26% set_running
+ 0.24% set_executing
0.12% ptid_get_lwp
+ 0.01% ptrace
+ 0.01% add_lwp
attach_proc_task_lwp_callback is called once for each LWP that we
attach to, found by listing the /proc/PID/task/ directory. In turn,
attach_proc_task_lwp_callback calls find_lwp_pid to check whether the
LWP we're about to try to attach to is already known. Since
find_lwp_pid does a linear walk over the whole LWP list, this becomes
quadratic. We do the /proc/PID/task/ listing until we get two
iterations in a row where we found no new threads. So the second and
following times we walk the /proc/PID/task/ dir, we're going to take
an even worse find_lwp_pid hit.
Fix this by adding a hash table keyed by LWP PID, for fast lookup.
The linked list embedded in the LWP structure itself is kept, and made
a double-linked list, so that removals from that list are O(1). An
earlier version of this patch got rid of this list altogether, but
that revealed hidden dependencies / assumptions on how the list is
sorted. For example, killing a process and then waiting for all the
LWPs status using iterate_over_lwps only works as is because the
leader LWP is always last in the list. So I thought it better to take
an incremental approach and make this patch concern itself _only_ with
the PID lookup optimization.

Hacking the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test to
spawn thousands of threads instead of dozens, I saw GDB having trouble
keeping up with threads being spawned too fast, when it tried to stop
them all. This was because while gdb is doing that, it updates the
thread list to make sure no new thread has sneaked in that might need
to be paused. It does this a few times until it sees no-new-threads
twice in a row. The thread listing update itself is not that
expensive, however, in the Linux backend, updating the threads list
calls linux_common_core_of_thread for each LWP to record on which core
each LWP was last seen running, which opens/reads/closes a /proc file
for each LWP which becomes expensive when you need to do it for
thousands of LWPs.
perf shows gdb in linux_common_core_of_thread 44% of the time, in the
stop_all_threads -> update_thread_list path in this use case.
This patch simply makes linux_common_core_of_thread avoid updating the
core the thread is bound to if the thread hasn't run since the last
time we updated that info. This makes linux_common_core_of_thread
disappear into the noise in the perf report.

Hacking the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test to
spawn thousands of threads instead of dozens to stress and debug
timeout problems with gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp,
I saw that GDB would spend several seconds just reading the
/proc/PID/smaps file, to determine the vDSO mapping range. GDB opens
and reads the whole file just once, and caches the result, but even
that is too slow. For example, with almost 8000 threads:
$ ls /proc/3518/task/ | wc -l
7906
reading the /proc/PID/smaps file grepping for "vdso" takes over 15
seconds :
$ time cat /proc/3518/smaps | grep vdso
7ffdbafee000-7ffdbaff0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
real 0m15.371s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m15.017s
Looking around the web for hints, I found a nice description of the
issue here:
http://backtrace.io/blog/blog/2014/11/12/large-thread-counts-and-slow-process-maps/
The problem is that /proc/PID/smaps wants to show the mappings as
being thread stack, and that has the kernel iterating over all threads
in the thread group, for each mapping.
The fix is to use the "map" file under /proc/PID/task/PID/ instead of
the /proc/PID/ one, as the former doesn't mark thread stacks for all
threads.
That alone drops the timing to the millisecond range on my machine:
$ time cat /proc/3518/task/3518/smaps | grep vdso
7ffdbafee000-7ffdbaff0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
real 0m0.150s
user 0m0.009s
sys 0m0.084s
And since we only need the vdso mapping's address range, we can use
"maps" file instead of "smaps", and it's even cheaper:
/proc/PID/task/PID/maps :
$ time cat /proc/3518/task/3518/maps | grep vdso
7ffdbafee000-7ffdbaff0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
real 0m0.027s

A following patch (fix for gdb/19828) makes linux-nat.c add threads to
GDB's thread list earlier in the "attach" sequence, and that causes a
surprising regression on
gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp on my machine. The
extra "thread x exited" handling and traffic slows down that test
enough that GDB core has trouble keeping up with new threads that are
spawned while trying to stop existing ones.
I saw the exact same issue with remote/gdbserver a while ago and fixed
it in 65706a29ba (Remote thread create/exit events) so part of the
fix here is the exact same -- add support for thread created events to
gdb/linux-nat.c. infrun.c:stop_all_threads enables those events when
it tries to stop threads, which ensures that new threads never get a
chance to themselves start new threads, thus fixing the race.

With code refactoring made in commit b886a2ab0d and the addition of
`calculate_reloc' and a separate test for TLS relocs against constants
made there the preexisting fall-through from the TLS reloc switch case
has effectively become a dead execution path. This is because the call
to `calculate_reloc' present there is only made if `fixP->fx_done' is
true, which can only be the case if `fixP->fx_addsy' is NULL, which in
turn has already triggered the TLS reloc test and made execution break
out of the switch statement.
