This removes infcall-specific special casing from normal_stop,
simplifying it.
Like the "finish" command's, the FSM is responsible for storing the
function's return value.

(call_function_by_hand_dummy): Create a new call_thread_fsm

value out of the FSM.
* infrun.c (fetch_inferior_event): If the FSM says the stop

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/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-09-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* 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

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.

Following commit 8f57eec2fb ("Use gdbarch obstack to allocate types in
alloc_type_arch") it is no longer the case that the type returned by
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
(which uses an older GCC). This time,
solib-svr4.c:solib_event_probe_action has the probe_argc variable,
which is now inside a TRY..CATCH and therefore needs to be
initialized. Pushed as obvious.

* solib-svr4.c (solib_event_probe_action): Initialize 'probe_argc'
as zero.
BuildBot e-mailed me to let me know that my last commit broke GDB on
RHEL-7.1 s390x. On solib-svr4.c:svr4_handle_solib_event, 'val' now
needs to be initialized as NULL because it is inside a TRY..CATCH
block. This patch does that. Pushed as obvious.

* 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.
