This is done by catching an exception number 0x406d1388 (it has no
documented name, though MSDN dubs it "MS_VC_EXCEPTION" in one code
example), which is thrown by the program. The exception record
contains an ID of a thread and a name to give it.
This requires rolling back some changes in handle_exception(), which
now again returns more than two distinct values. The new
HANDLE_EXCEPTION_IGNORED value means that gdb should just continue,
without returning the thread ID up the stack (which would result in
further handling of the exception, which is not what we want).

(save_original_signals_state, restore_original_signals_state):
Wrap perror_with_name arguments with '()'.
When executing commands on a secondary UI running the MI interpreter,
some commands that should be synchronous are not. MI incorrectly
continues processing input right after the synchronous command is
sent, before the target stops.
The problem happens when we emit MI async events (=library-loaded,
etc.), and we go about restoring the previous terminal state, we end
up calling target_terminal_ours, which incorrectly always installs the
current UI's input_fd in the event loop... That is, code like this:
old_chain = make_cleanup_restore_target_terminal ();
target_terminal_ours_for_output ();
fprintf_unfiltered (mi->event_channel, "library-loaded");
...
do_cleanups (old_chain);
The fix is to move the add_file_handler/delete_file_handler calls out
of target_terminal_$foo, making these completely no-ops unless called
with the main UI as current UI.

Merge async and sync code paths some more
[...]
The problem is that when an exception is thrown, we leave the prompt
state set to PROMPT_BLOCKED, and then mi_execute_command_input_handler
doesn't print the prompt. It used to work because before that patch,
we happened to skip disabling stdin if the current target didn't do
async (which it never does before execution).
I was surprised to find that this bug isn't caught by the testsuite,
so I made a thorough test that tests all combinations of pairs of:
- a failing synchronous execution command
- a failing non-execution command
- a non-failing command

gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit. However, it
currently does. For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.
This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html
Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
image are set to the default action in the new process
image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
in the new process image (see <signal.h>).
And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.
In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

I find the following test fail when I test native aarch64 gdb with
arm program,
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp: attach

warning: Selected architecture arm is not compatible with reported target architecture aarch64^M
Architecture `arm' not recognized.^M
The target architecture is set automatically (currently aarch64)^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp: set architecture arm
GDB thinks the target is aarch64, but it isn't. Nowadays, we are
using some entries AT_PHENT and AT_HWCAP in auxv to determine whether
the process is a 32-bit arm one or 64-bit aarch64 one, and get the
right gdbarch. However, in the process of parsing auxv (in
inf_ptrace_auxv_parse), the size of int and data pointer of
target_gdbarch is used. If debug program exists (in most of cases),
target_gdbarch is already set according to the debug program, which
is arm in my case. Then, GDB can parse auxv successfully. However,
in gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp, the debug program is removed,
target_gdbarch is aarch64 when GDB parse auxv, so GDB can't parse
it successfully.
Instead of using auxv, we check the return value of ptrace NT_ARM_VFP.
If the program is an arm process, NT_ARM_VFP is OK, otherwise, error
is returned.
Additionally, we only return tdesc_arm_with_neon for arm process,
because neon is mandatory on ARMv8.

PR python/20190 arose from an exception I noticed when trying to use
the Python unwinder for Spider Monkey in Firefox.
The problem is that the unwinder wants to examine the value of a

symbol_read_needs_frame returns true for a TLS variable.
This problem arose once before, though in a different context:

other suggestion:

Building an x32 gdb trips on a static assertion:
In file included from .../src/gdb/common/common-defs.h:71:0,
from .../src/gdb/nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c:21:
.../src/gdb/common/gdb_assert.h:26:66: error: size of array ‘never_defined_just_used_for_checking’ is negative

.../src/gdb/nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c:113:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘gdb_static_assert’
gdb_static_assert (sizeof (nat_siginfo_t) == sizeof (siginfo_t));
^
The problem is that the way nat_siginfo_t is defined, it can only
match the host's siginfo_t object when gdb is built as a 64-bit
program.
Several bits of nat_siginfo_t are off:
- nat_siginfo_t's _pad field's definition is:
int _pad[((128 / sizeof (int)) - 4)];
while /usr/include/bits/siginfo.h has:
# define __SI_MAX_SIZE 128
# if __WORDSIZE == 64
# define __SI_PAD_SIZE ((__SI_MAX_SIZE / sizeof (int)) - 4)
# else
# define __SI_PAD_SIZE ((__SI_MAX_SIZE / sizeof (int)) - 3)
# endif
and __WORDSIZE == 32 for x32. This is what causes the size of
nat_siginfo_t to be wrong and the assertion to fail.
- the nat_clock_t type is incorrect for 64-bit. We have this:
/* For native 64-bit, clock_t in _sigchld is 64bit aligned at 4 bytes. */
typedef long __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (4))) nat_clock_t;
however, /usr/include/bits/siginfo.h has:
# if defined __x86_64__ && __WORDSIZE == 32
/* si_utime and si_stime must be 4 byte aligned for x32 to match the
kernel. We align siginfo_t to 8 bytes so that si_utime and si_stime
are actually aligned to 8 bytes since their offsets are multiple of
8 bytes. */
typedef __clock_t __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (4))) __sigchld_clock_t;
# define __SI_ALIGNMENT __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (8)))
# else
typedef __clock_t __sigchld_clock_t;
# define __SI_ALIGNMENT
# endif
So we're currently forcing 4-byte alignment on clock_t, when it
should only be so for x32, not 64-bit.
The fix:
- Leaves nat_siginfo_t strictly for the 64-bit ABI.
- Adds a new typedef for the siginfo type that ptrace uses
(ptrace_siginfo_t). An x32 gdb always gets/sets an x32 siginfo_t
type with PTRACE_GETSIGINFO/PTRACE_SETSIGINFO.
- Uses this new ptrace_siginfo_t type instead of nat_siginfo_t as the
intermediate conversion type.

This patch allows gdbserver to continue recording after disconnect. On
reconnect, the recorded data is accessible to gdb as if no disconnect happened.
A possible application for this feature is remotely examine bugs that occur
at irregular intervals, where maintaining a gdb connection is inconvenient.
This also fixes the issue mentioned here:

PR rust/20162 started life as a reminder to test gdb with versions of
rust after 1.8; but now concerns some gdb regressions seen with rust
1.10 ("beta") and 1.11 ("nightly").
The failures turn out to be a discrepancy between how rustc emits
DWARF and how gdb interprets it. In particular, rustc will emit DWARF
like:
<2><bc>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<bd> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x46a): HasMethods
<c1> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
...
<3><cc>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
...
<df> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x514f): new
gdb wants to see a separate top-level DW_TAG_subprogram that refers to
this one via DW_AT_specification; but rustc doesn't emit one. By my
reading of DWARF 4 5.5.7, this is ok, and gdb is incorrect here.
Fixing this involved a new case in scan_partial_symbols, and then a
further change in process_structure_scope to account for the fact
that, in Rust, such functions are not methods and should not be
attached to the structure type.
Next, it turns out that rust is emitting bad values for
DW_AT_linkage_name, e.g.:
<db> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x422): _ZN7methods8{{impl}}3newE
The the "{{impl}}" stuff is apparently some side effect of a change to
the compiler's internal representation. Oops!
This also had a simple fix -- disregard these mangled names.
With these changes, there are no regressions in the gdb Rust tests
with either 1.10 or 1.11. 1.9, the stable release, is still pretty
broken, but I think there's nothing much to do about that.
These changes are a bit hackish, but no worse, I think, than other
kinds of quirk handling already done in the DWARF parser. I have
reported all the rustc bugs upstream. I plan to remove these hacks
from gdb some suitable time after they have been fixed in released
versions of Rust.

I see the following fail due to the warning,
-trace-frame-collected^M

FreeBSD 12 recently added a new ptrace event to indicate when the vfork
parent resumes after the child process stops sharing the address space.
Use this event to report a proper TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE rather than
faking a vfork done event after a delay.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_enable_proc_events): Enable "PTRACE_VFORK"
events.
(fbsd_pending_vfork_done): Only define if "PTRACE_VFORK" is not

events.
(fbsd_follow_fork): Only fake a vfork done event if "PTRACE_VFORK"
is not defined.
New child processes on FreeBSD do not inherit optional ptrace events
such as fork and LWP events from the parent process. Instead,
explicitly enable events on new children when reporting a fork
event.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_wait): Use "fbsd_enable_proc_events" on
new child processes.
Add a new function to enable optional event reporting for FreeBSD native
targets. Specifically, use this to enable fork and LWP events.
The bodies of fbsd_enable_follow_fork and fbsd_enable_lwp_events have been
subsumed into the new function. In addition, use the PT_GET_EVENT_MASK
and PT_EVENT_SET_MASK requests added in FreeBSD 12 when present to enable
these events.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_enable_lwp_events): Remove function.
(fbsd_enable_proc_events): New function.
(fbsd_enable_follow_fork): Remove function.
(fbsd_post_startup_inferior): Use "fbsd_enable_proc_events".
(fbsd_post_attach): Likewise.
FreeBSD's librt uses SIGLIBRT as an internal signal to implement
SIGEV_THREAD sigevent notifications. Similar to SIGLWP or SIGCANCEL
this signal should be passed through to child processes by default.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-07/msg00152.html,
Yao noted that a patch of mine was missing a newline.
I thought I had fixed this but when looking today I realized it was
not fixed. This patch adds it.
I'm checking this in as obvious.

* python/py-breakpoint.c (gdbpy_breakpoint_deleted): Add missing

This patch consolidates the (possibly-questionable) spots where we
remove a declaration but continue to call some function for side
effects. In a couple of cases it wasn't entirely clear to me that
this mattered; and in some other cases it might be more aesthetically
pleasing to use ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED. So, I broke this out into a
separate patch for simpler review.
2016-07-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* arch-utils.c (default_skip_permanent_breakpoint): Remove
"bp_insn".
* disasm.c (do_assembly_only): Remove "num_displayed".

(dwarf_decode_macro_bytes) <DW_MACINFO_vendor_ext>: Remove

This patch removes some unneeded initializations in overlay code in
symfile.c. It also deletes some old commented-out code.

* symfile.c (simple_overlay_update_1): Remove initialization

(simple_overlay_update): Likewise.
As suggested by Pedro, this changes a few spots to use getcurx, rather
than getyx. This avoids some unused variable warnings.

* tui/tui-winsource.c (tui_show_source_line): Use getcurx.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_puts): Use getcurx.
(tui_redisplay_readline): Likewise.
One spot needed ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED to cope with the new warnings.
The case in inflow.c is just a mass of ifdefs; and while the only use
of "result" is guarded by "#if 0", I thought it simplest to leave it
all in place.
2016-07-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* inflow.c (child_terminal_ours_1): Use ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED.
This seems to be a real bug found by -Wunused-but-set-variable. If
"stat" fails for some reason, gdb would use the uninitialized "st".
2016-07-14 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* corefile.c (reopen_exec_file): Only examine st.st_mtime if stat
succeeded.
This patch adds some breakpoint events to Python. In particular,
there is a creation event that is emitted when a breakpoint is
created; a modification event that is emitted when a breakpoint
changes somehow; and a deletion event that is emitted when a
breakpoint is deleted.
In this patch, the event's payload is the breakpoint itself. I
considered making a new event type to hold the breakpoint, but I
didn't see a need. Still, I thought I would mention this as a spot
where some other choice is possible.
