The other day I noticed that default_gdb_start reuses the GDB process
if it has been spawned already:
proc default_gdb_start { } {
...
if [info exists gdb_spawn_id] {
return 0
}
I was a bit surprised, and so I hacked in an error to check whether
anything is relying on it:
+ if [info exists gdb_spawn_id] {
+ error "GDB already spawned"
+ }
And lo, that tripped on a funny buglet (see below). The comment in
reread.exp says "Restart GDB entirely", but in reality, due to the
above, that's not what is happening, as a gdb_exit call is missing.
The test is proceeding with the previous GDB process...
I don't really want to go hunt for whether there's an odd setup out
there that assumes this in its board file or something, so for now,
I'm taking the simple route of just making the test do what it says it
does. I think this much makes it an obvious fix.

The __flash qualifier is part of the named address spaces for AVR [1]. It
allows putting read-only data in the flash memory, normally reserved for
code.
When used together with a pointer, the DW_AT_address_class attribute is set
to 1 and allows GDB to detect that when it will be dereferenced, the data
will be loaded from the flash memory (with the LPM instruction).
We can now properly debug the following code:
~~~
const __flash char data_in_flash = 0xab;
int
main (void)
{
const __flash char *pointer_to_flash = &data_in_flash;
}
~~~
~~~
(gdb) print pointer_to_flash
$1 = 0x1e8 <data_in_flash> "\253"
(gdb) print/x *pointer_to_flash
$2 = 0xab
(gdb) x/x pointer_to_flash
0x1e8 <data_in_flash>: 0xXXXXXXab
~~~
Whereas previously, GDB would revert to the default address space which is
RAM and mapped in higher memory:
~~~
(gdb) print pointer_to_flash
$1 = 0x8001e8 ""

If an error is thrown while handling a target event (within
fetch_inferior_event), and, the interpreter is not async (but the
target is), then GDB prints the prompt twice.
One way to see that in action is throw a QUIT while in a pagination
prompt issued from within fetch_inferior_event (or one of its
callees). E.g. from the test:
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
^CQuit
(gdb) (gdb) p 1
^^^^^^^^^^^
$1 = 1
(gdb)
The issue is that inferior_event_handler swallows errors and notifies
the observers (the interpreters) about the command error, even if the
interpreter is forced sync while we're handling a nested event loop
(for execute_command). The observers print a prompt, and then when we
get back to the top event loop, we print another (in
start_event_loop).
I see no reason the error should be swallowed here. Just cancel the
execution related bits and let the error propagate to the top level
(start_event_loop), which re-enables stdin and notifies observers.

If a pagination prompt triggers while the target is running, and the
target exits before the user responded to the pagination query, this
happens:
Starting program: foo
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---No unwaited-for children left.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb)
To reiterate, the user hasn't replied to the pagination prompt above.
A pagination query nests an event loop (in gdb_readline_wrapper). In
async mode, in addition to stdin and signal handlers, we'll have the
target also installed in the event loop still. So if the target
reports an event, that wakes up the nested event loop, which calls
into fetch_inferior_event etc. to handle the event which generates
further output, all while we should be waiting for pagination
confirmation...
(TBC, any target event that generates output ends up spuriously waking
up the pagination, though exits seem to be the worse kind.)
I've played with a couple different approaches to fixing this, while
at the same time trying to avoid being invasive. Both revolve around
not listening to target events while in a pagination prompt (doing
anything else I think would be a much bigger change).
The approach taken just removes the target from the event loop while
within gdb_readline_wrapper. The other approach used gdb_select
directly, with only input_fd installed, but that had the issue that it
didn't handle the async signal handlers, and turned out to be a bit
more code than the first version.

gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
processed. Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
reinstalls the handler. But if the output is coming out of handling
a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
handler. So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
readline, which aborts.
We should do better with the prompt handling while the target is
running (I think we should coordinate with readline, and
hide/redisplay it around output), but that's a more invasive change
better done post 7.8, so this patch is conservative and just
reinstalls the handler as soon as we're out of the readline line
callback.

Usually, if an error propagates all the way to the top level, we'll
re-enable stdin, in case the command that was running was a
synchronous command. That's done in the event loop's actual loop
(event-loop.c:start_event_loop). However, if a foreground execution
command is run before the event loop starts and throws, nothing is
presently reenabling stdin, which leaves sync_execution set.
When we do start the event loop, because sync_execution is still
(mistakenly) set, display_gdb_prompt removes the readline input
callback, even though stdin is registered in the event loop. Any
input from here on results in readline aborting.
Such commands are run through catch_command_errors,
catch_command_errors_const, so add the tweak there.

The "call" and "print" commands presently always run synchronously, in
the foreground, but GDB currently forgets to put the inferior's
terminal settings into effect while running them, on async-capable
targets, resulting in:
(gdb) print func ()
hello world
Program received signal SIGTTOU, Stopped (tty output).
0x000000373bceb8d0 in __libc_tcdrain (fd=1) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tcdrain.c:29
29 return INLINE_SYSCALL (ioctl, 3, fd, TCSBRK, 1);
The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on".
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(func) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.
(gdb)
That's because target_terminal_inferior skips actually doing anything
if running in the background, and, nothing is setting sync_execution
while running infcalls:
void
target_terminal_inferior (void)
{
/* A background resume (``run&'') should leave GDB in control of the
terminal. Use target_can_async_p, not target_is_async_p, since at
this point the target is not async yet. However, if sync_execution
is not set, we know it will become async prior to resume. */
if (target_can_async_p () && !sync_execution)
return;
This would best be all cleaned up by making GDB not even call
target_terminal_inferior and try to pass the terminal to the inferior
if running in the background, but that's a more invasive fix that is
better done post-7.8.
This was originally caught by a patch later in this series that makes
catch_command_errors use exception_print instead of
print_any_exception. Note that print_flush calls serial_drain_output
while print_any_exception doesnt't have that bit. And,
gdb.gdb/python-selftest.exp does:
gdb_test "call catch_command_errors(execute_command, \"python print 5\", 0, RETURN_MASK_ALL)" \
"Python not initialized.* = 0"
which without this fix results in SIGTTOU...

Right now we provide a board info entry, `gdb_init_command', that allows
one to send a single command to GDB before the program to be debugged is
started. This is useful e.g. for slow remote targets to change the
default "remotetimeout" setting. Occasionally I found a need to send
multiple commands instead, however this cannot be achieved with
`gdb_init_command'.
This change therefore extends the mechanism by adding a TCL list of GDB
commands to send, via a board info entry called `gdb_init_commands'.
There is no limit as to the number of commands put there. The old
`gdb_init_command' mechanism remains supported for compatibility with
existing people's environments.

The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited
(even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread
list is being walked on with find_inferior. find_inferior can handle
the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others.
When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending
status handling of linux_wait_for_event. We can just waitpid the lwps
directly, which is also what GDB does (see
linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback). This way the lwps are not deleted
while we're walking the list. They'll be deleted by linux_mourn
afterwards.
This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against
GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB
can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being
sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet
doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no
FAIL.
The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with
extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too). Here's
how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix:

On async targets, a synchronous attach is done like this:
#1 - target_attach is called (PTRACE_ATTACH is issued)
#2 - a continuation is installed
#3 - we go back to the event loop
#4 - target reports stop (SIGSTOP), event loop wakes up, and
attach continuation is called
#5 - among other things, the continuation calls
target_terminal_inferior, which removes stdin from the event
loop
Note that in #3, GDB is still processing user input. If the user is
fast enough, e.g., with something like:
echo -e "attach PID\nset xxx=1" | gdb
... then the "set" command is processed before the attach completes.
We get worse behavior even, if input is a tty and therefore
readline/editing is enabled, with e.g.,:
(gdb) attach PID\nset xxx=1
we then crash readline/gdb, with:
Attaching to program: attach-wait-input, process 14537

Fix this by calling target_terminal_inferior before #3 above.

Notice that the path expression returned is wrong, and as a result
the print command fails.
This patch adds a new method to the varobj_ops structure called
is_path_expr_parent, to allow language specific control over finding
the parent varobj, the current logic becomes the C/C++ version and is
extended to handle the nested cases. No other language currently uses
this code, so all other languages just get a default method.
With this patch, the above example now finishes like this:

The test case "watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp" yields a lot of failures on
s390/s390x: all instances of awatch, rwatch, and hbreak are performed
even though they aren't supported on these targets. This is because
the test case ignores non-support error messages when probing for
support of these commands, like:

This patch is to add ptid into dummy_frame and extend frame_id to
dummy_frame_id (which has a ptid field). With this change, GDB uses
dummy_frame_id (thread ptid and frame_id) to find the dummy frames.
Currently, dummy frames are looked up by frame_id, which isn't
accurate in non-stop or multi-process mode. The test case
gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp shows the problem and this patch can
fix it.
Test dummy-frame-restore.exp makes two inferiors stop at
different functions, say, inferior 1 stops at f1 while inferior 2
stops at f2. Set a breakpoint to a function, do the inferior call
in two inferiors, and GDB has two dummy frames of the same frame_id.
When the inferior call is finished, GDB will look up a dummy frame
from its stack/list and restore the inferior's regcache. Two
inferiors are finished in different orders, the inferiors' states are
restored differently, which is wrong. Running dummy-frame-restore.exp
under un-patched GDB, we'll get two fails:
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 2
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 1
With this patch applied, GDB will choose the correct dummy_frame to
restore for a given inferior, because ptid is considered when looking up
dummy frames. Two fails above are fixed.

In the example above the debug registers are being switched from this

DR0: addr=0x0000000000601040, ref.count=1 DR1: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
DR2: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0 DR3: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
to this:
CONTROL (DR7): 0000000000010101 STATUS (DR6): 0000000000000000
DR0: addr=0x0000000000601041, ref.count=1 DR1: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
DR2: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0 DR3: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
That is, before, DR7 was setup for watching a 2 byte region starting
at what's in DR0 (0x601040).
And after, DR7 is setup for watching a 1 byte region starting at
what's in DR0 (0x601041).
We always write DR0..DR3 before DR7, because if we enable a slot's
bits in DR7, you need to have already written the corresponding
DR0..DR3 registers -- the kernel rejects the DR7 write with EINVAL
otherwise.
The error shown above is the opposite scenario. When we try to write
0x601041 to DR0, DR7's bits still indicate intent of watching a 2-byte
region. That DR0/DR7 combination is invalid, because 0x601041 is
unaligned. To watch two bytes, we'd have to use two slots. So the
kernel errors out with EINVAL.
Fix this by always first clearing DR7, then writing DR0..DR3, and then
setting DR7's bits.
A little optimization -- if we're disabling the last watchpoint, then
we can clear DR7 just once. The changes to nat/i386-dregs.c make that
easier to detect, and as bonus, they make it a little easier to make
sense of DR7 in the debug logs, as we no longer need to remember we're
seeing stale bits.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and GDBserver.
This adds an exhaustive test that switches between many different
combinations of watchpoint types and addresses and widths.

Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock step: get to main in new image (GDB internal error)
The assertion is correct. The issue is that GDB is mistakenly trying
to switch back to an exited thread, that was previously stepping when
it exited. This is exactly the sort of thing the test wants to make
sure doesn't happen:
# Now set a breakpoint at `main', and step over the execl call. The
# breakpoint at main should be reached. GDB should not try to revert
# back to the old thread from the old image and resume stepping it
We don't see this bug with schedlock off only because a different
sequence of events makes GDB manage to delete the thread instead of
marking it exited.
This particular internal error can be fixed by making the loop over
all threads in switch_back_to_stepped_thread skip exited threads.
But, looking over other ALL_THREADS users, all either can or should be
skipping exited threads too. So for simplicity, this patch replaces
ALL_THREADS with a new macro that skips exited threads itself, and
updates everything to use it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

with type DW_FORM_string, which is wrong.
GDB was using that information to load data as strings, and then
proceeded to use the string pointers as addresses.
Even then, the test was passing just fine, because we were lucky
enough to have the low_pc string pointer smaller than the high_pc
string pointer.
Two issues are fixed. The first one is the DW_FORM_string type. The
second one is adjusting the addresses so that they are non-zero,
since GDB doesn't like seeing 0 in these fields due to a check
contained in dwarf2_get_pc_bounds:
if (low == 0 && !dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero)
return 0;
With both fixes, the testcase passes deterministically.

Using the test program gdb.base/foll-fork.c, with follow-fork-mode set to
"child" and detach-on-fork set to "off", stepping or running past the fork
call results in the child process running to completion, when it should
just finish the single step. In addition, the breakpoint is not removed
from the parent process, so if it is resumed it receives a SIGTRAP.
Cause:
No matter what the setting for detach-on-fork, when stepping past a fork,
the single-step breakpoint (step_resume_breakpoint) is not handled
correctly in the parent. The SR breakpoint is cloned for the child
process, but before the clone is associated with the child it is treated as
a duplicate of the original, associated wth the parent. This results in
the insertion state of the original SR breakpoint and the clone being
"swapped" by breakpoint.c:update_global_location_list, so that the clone is
marked as inserted.
In the case where the parent is not detached, the two breakpoints remain in
that state. The breakpoint is never inserted in the child, because
although the cloned SR breakpoint is associated with the child, it is
marked as inserted. When the child is resumed, it runs to completion. The
breakpoint is never removed from the parent, so that if it is resumed after
the child exits, it gets a SIGTRAP.
Here is the sequence of events:
1) handle_inferior_event: FORK event is recognized.
2) handle_inferior_event: detach_breakpoints removes all breakpoints
from the child.
3) follow_fork: the parent SR breakpoint is cloned. Part of this procedure
is to call update_global_location_list, which swaps the insertion state of
the original and cloned SR breakpoints as part of ensuring that duplicate
breakpoints are only inserted once. At this point the original SR
breakpoint is not marked as inserted, and the clone is. The breakpoint is
actually inserted in the parent but not the child.
4) follow_fork: the original breakpoint is deleted by calling
delete_step_resume_breakpoint. Since the original is not marked as
inserted, the actual breakpoint remains in the parent process.
update_global_location_list is called again as part of the deletion. The
clone is still associated with the parent, but since it is marked as
enabled and inserted, the breakpoint is left in the parent.
5) follow_fork: if detach-on-fork is 'on', the actual breakpoint will be
removed from the parent in target_detach, based on the cloned breakpoint
still associated with the parent. Then the clone is no longer marked as
inserted. In follow_inferior_reset_breakpoints the clone is associated
with the child, and can be inserted.
If detach-on-fork is 'off', the actual breakpoint in the parent is never
removed (although the breakpoint had been deleted from the list). Since
the clone continues to be marked 'inserted', the SR breakpoint is never
inserted in the child.
Fix:
Set the cloned breakpoint as disabled from the moment it is created. This
is done by modifying clone_momentary_breakpoint to take an additional
argument, LOC_ENABLED, which is used as the value of the
bp_location->enabled member. The clone must be disabled at that point
because clone_momentary_breakpoint calls update_global_location_list, which
will swap treat the clone as a duplicate of the original breakpoint if it
is enabled.
All the calls to clone_momentary_breakpoint had to be modified to pass '1'
or '0'. I looked at implementing an enum for the enabled member, but
concluded that readability would suffer because there are so many places it
is used as a boolean, e.g. "if (bl->enabled)".
In follow_inferior_reset_breakpoints the clone is set to enabled once it
has been associated with the child process. With this, the bp_location
'inserted' member is maintained correctly throughout the follow-fork
procedure and the behavior is as expected.
The same treatment is given to the exception_resume_breakpoint when
following a fork.
Testing:
Ran 'make check' on Linux x64.
Along with the fix above, the coverage of the follow-fork test
gdb.base/foll-fork.exp was expanded to:
1) cover all the combinations of values for
follow-fork-mode and detach-on-fork
2) make sure that both user breakpoints and
single-step breakpoints are propagated
correctly to the child
3) check that the inferior list has the
expected contents after following the fork.
4) check that unfollowed, undetached inferiors
can be resumed.

In valprint.c:print_wchar, wchar_printable is called to determine
whether a wchar is printable. wchar_printable calls iswprint but
the iswprint's return value depends on LC_CTYPE setting of locale [1, 2].
The output may vary with different locale settings and OS. IMO, '¢'
(cent sign) is a correct output on Windows.

skip_type_update_when_not_use_rtti_test) the testcase assumes an
uninitialized object has a specific type. In particular, 'ptr' and
's'.
In reality the compiler is free to do what it wants with that
uninitialized variable, even initialize it beforehand with the future
assignment's value. This is exactly what happens on some targets.
ptr should have type 'Base *', but it really has type 'Derived *'
because it is already initialized (earlier) by the compiler. The same
thing happens to 's'.
The following patch addresses this by explicitly initializing those
variables so the compiler doesn't optimize their assignments and GDB
can print their correct values.

If an MI client creates a varobj and attempts to update the root
/before/ the inferior is started, gdb will throw an internal error:
(gdb)
-var-create * - batch_flag
^done,name="var1",numchild="0",value="0",type="int",has_more="0"
(gdb)
-var-update var1

~"../../src/gdb/thread.c:628: internal-error: is_thread_state: Assertion `tp' failed.\nA problem internal to GDB has been detected,\nfurther debugging may prove unreliable.\nQuit this debugging session? "
~"(y or n) "
The function that handles the varobj update in the failing case,
mi_cmd_var_udpate_iter, checks if the thread/inferior is stopped before
attempting to update the varobj. It calls is_stopped (inferior_ptid)
which calls is_thread_state:
tp = find_thread_ptid (ptid);
gdb_assert (tp);
When there is no inferior, ptid is null_ptid, and find_thread_ptid (null_ptid)
returns NULL and the assertion is triggered.
This patch changes mi_cmd_var_update_iter to behave the same way
"-var-update var1" does: by calling the thread "stopped" if
there is no inferior (and thereby calling varobj_update_one).

Turns out there's a difference between loading the program with "gdb
PROGRAM", vs loading it with "(gdb) file PROGRAM". The latter results
in the objfile ending up with OBJF_USERLOADED set, while not with the
former. (That difference seems bogus, but still that's not the point
of this patch. We can revisit that afterwards.)
The new code that suppresses breakpoint removal errors for
add-symbol-file objects ends up being too greedy:
/* In some cases, we might not be able to remove a breakpoint in
a shared library that has already been removed, but we have
not yet processed the shlib unload event. Similarly for an
unloaded add-symbol-file object - the user might not yet have
had the chance to remove-symbol-file it. shlib_disabled will
be set if the library/object has already been removed, but
the breakpoint hasn't been uninserted yet, e.g., after
"nosharedlibrary" or "remove-symbol-file" with breakpoints
always-inserted mode. */
if (val
&& (bl->loc_type == bp_loc_software_breakpoint
&& (bl->shlib_disabled
|| solib_name_from_address (bl->pspace, bl->address)
|| userloaded_objfile_contains_address_p (bl->pspace,
bl->address))))
val = 0;
as it turns out that OBJF_USERLOADED can be set for objfiles loaded by
some other means not add-symbol-file. In this case, symbol-file (or
"file", which is really just "exec-file"+"symbol-file").
Recall that add-symbol-file is documented as:
(gdb) help add-symbol-file
Load symbols from FILE, assuming FILE has been dynamically loaded.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And it's the "dynamically loaded" aspect that the breakpoint.c code
cares about. So make add-symbol-file set OBJF_SHARED on its objfiles
too, and tweak the breakpoint.c code to look for OBJF_SHARED instead
of OBJF_USERLOADED.
This restores back the missing breakpoint removal warning when we let
sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp run on native GNU/Linux
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00335.html):

I say "restores" because this was GDB's behavior in 7.7 and earlier.
And, likewise, "file" with no arguments only started turning
breakpoints set in the main executable to "<pending>" with the
remote-symbol-file patch (63644780). The old behavior is now
restored, and we break-unload-file.exp test now exercizes both "gdb;
file PROGRAM" and "gdb PROGRAM".

Three issues with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00348.html
(c077881a).
- The inner 'status' local is shadowing the outer 'status' local,
thus PTRACE_DETACH is never seeing the status it intends to pass on
the inferior.
- With that fixed, we then try to pass down the SIGTRAP that results
from the step to the inferior. Need to filter out signals that are
in nopass state.
- For software single-step archs, the current code is equivalent to:
int status = 0;
if (WIFSTOPPED (status))
ptrace (PTRACE_DETACH, child_pid, 0, WSTOPSIG (status));
... and status == 0 is WIFEXITED, not WIFSTOPPED, so we're never
detaching.

0x400595 is the address of the breakpoint, and "= 0" is
TARGET_XFER_EOF. That's default_memory_remove_breakpoint trying to
remove the breakpoint, but failing.
The problem is that we had just resumed the target and the native
GNU/Linux target can't read memory off of a running thread. Most of
the time, we get "lucky", because we manage to read memory before the
kernel actually schedules the target to run.
So just give up and skip the test on any target that uses hardware
stepping, not just remote targets.

Value returned is $1 = 8^M

FAIL: gdb.base/async.exp: finish&
The corresponding test is "test_background "nexti&" "" ".*y = 3.*"",
and it assumes that GDB "nexti" into the next source line. It is wrong
on arm. After "nexti", it still stops at the same source line, and it
fails.
When gdb does "finish", if the PC is in the middle of a source line,
the PC address is printed too. See stack.c:print_frame,
if (opts.addressprint)
if (!sal.symtab
|| frame_show_address (frame, sal)
|| print_what == LOC_AND_ADDRESS)
{
annotate_frame_address ();
if (pc_p)
ui_out_field_core_addr (uiout, "addr", gdbarch, pc);
else
ui_out_field_string (uiout, "addr", "<unavailable>");
annotate_frame_address_end ();
ui_out_text (uiout, " in ");
}
frame_show_address checks whether PC is the middle of a source line.
Since after "nexti", the inferior stops at the middle of a source line,
when we do "finish" the PC address is displayed.
In sum, GDB works well, but test case needs update. This patch is to
add a statement at the same line to make sure "nexti" doesn't go to
the new line, match the next instruction address in the output and
match the hex address the output of "finish".
