PTRACE_PEEKUSER can return -1, which is usually used to determine whether
a system call has reported an error, so errno must be used alone to
determine whether an error occurred. However errno isn't modified by a
successful system call so it must be reset to a known value (0) before the
syscall call.
Add the missing errno reset when reading the DSP_CONTROL register in the
native MIPS Linux backend and the MIPS gdbserver backend.

This PR came from a Red Hat bug that was filed recently. I checked and
it still exists on HEAD, so here's a proposed fix. Although this is
marked as a Python backend bug, this is really about the completion
mechanism used by GDB. Since this code reminds me of my first attempt
to make a good noodle, it took me quite some time to fix it in a
non-intrusive way.
The problem is triggered when one registers a completion method inside a
class in a Python script, rather than registering the command using a
completer class directly. For example, consider the following script:
class MyFirstCommand(gdb.Command):
def __init__(self):
gdb.Command.__init__(self,'myfirstcommand',gdb.COMMAND_USER,gdb.COMPLETE_FILENAME)
def invoke(self,argument,from_tty):
raise gdb.GdbError('not implemented')
class MySecondCommand(gdb.Command):
def __init__(self):
gdb.Command.__init__(self,'mysecondcommand',gdb.COMMAND_USER)
def invoke(self,argument,from_tty):
raise gdb.GdbError('not implemented')
def complete(self,text,word):
return gdb.COMPLETE_FILENAME
MyFirstCommand ()
MySecondCommand ()
When one loads this into GDB and tries to complete filenames for both
myfirstcommand and mysecondcommand, she gets:
(gdb) myfirstcommand /hom<TAB>
(gdb) myfirstcommand /home/
^
...
(gdb) mysecondcommand /hom<TAB>
(gdb) mysecondcommand /home
^
(The "^" marks the final position of the cursor after the TAB).
So we see that myfirstcommand honors the COMPLETE_FILENAME class (as
specified in the command creation), but mysecondcommand does not. After
some investigation, I found that the problem lies with the set of word
break characters that is used for each case. The set should be the same
for both commands, but it is not.
During the process of deciding which type of completion should be used,
the code in gdb/completer.c:complete_line_internal analyses the command
that requested the completion and tries to determine the type of
completion wanted by checking which completion function will be called
(e.g., filename_completer for filenames, location_completer for
locations, etc.).
This all works fine for myfirstcommand, because immediately after the
command registration the Python backend already sets its completion
function to filename_completer (which then causes the
complete_line_internal function to choose the right set of word break
chars). However, for mysecondcommand, this decision is postponed to
when the completer function is evaluated, and the Python backend uses an
internal completer (called cmdpy_completer). complete_line_internal
doesn't know about this internal completer, and can't choose the right
set of word break chars in time, which then leads to a bad decision when
completing the "/hom" word.
So, after a few attempts, I decided to create another callback in
"struct cmd_list_element" that will be responsible for handling the case
when there is an unknown completer function for complete_line_internal
to work with. So far, only the Python backend uses this callback, and
only when the user provides a completer method instead of registering
the command directly with a completer class. I think this is the best
option because it not very intrusive (all the other commands will still
work normally), but especially because the whole completion code is so
messy that it would be hard to fix this without having to redesign
things.
I have regtested this on Fedora 18 x86_64, without regressions. I also
included a testcase.

The loop macro ALL_DEBUG_REGISTERS does not iterate over the status or

This commit renames nine files that contain code used by both 32- and

rather than "i386". All types, functions and variables within these
files are likewise renamed such that their names are prefixed with
"x86" rather than "i386". This makes GDB follow the convention used
by gdbserver such that 32-bit Intel code lives in files called
"i386-*", 64-bit Intel code lives in files called "amd64-*", and code
for both 32- and 64-bit Intel lives in files called "x86-*".
This commit only renames OS-independent files. The Linux ports of
both GDB and gdbserver now follow the i386/amd64/x86 convention fully.

clang was using eax to construct %0 here:
asm ("mov %%eax, 0(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%ebx, 4(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%ecx, 8(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%edx, 12(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%esi, 16(%0)\n\t"
"mov %%edi, 20(%0)\n\t"
: /* no output operands */
: "r" (data)
: "eax", "ebx", "ecx", "edx", "esi", "edi");
which caused amd64-word.exp (and others similarly) to fail.

This commit converts a call to fatal in remote_prepare with a call to

where jumping to toplevel will call exit (1), so error and fatal are

perror_with_name (which calls error) so callers of remote_prepare must
already handle the fact that it may exit via longjmp.

This commit downgrades a fatal error to a warning in linux_async.
linux_async is called from two different places in gdbserver:
Via target_async from handle_accept_event. The argument
is always zero, so the warning will never be printed here.
Via start_non_stop from handle_general_set. This prints
its own error message to stderr on failure, which will
be preceded by the warning if it is emitted.

This commit converts if..fatal checks in both i386_dr_low_set_addr
implementations to gdb_asserts. It's not obvious from the context,
but the conditional in both cases is changed to match the equivalent
conditional in the i386_dr_low_get_addr implementations. Nothing
fundamental has changed because DR_FIRSTADDR is zero. This commit
also removes a vague comment in Linux i386_dr_low_get_addr. I could
have reworded the comment (and replicated it three times for the other
identical assertions) but I think the existence of specific functions
for the status and control registers makes it fairly obvious what is
going on.

Hi,
This patch is to handle a software watchpoint case that program returns
to caller's epilogue, and it causes the fail in thumb mode,
finish^M
Run till exit from #0 func () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoint-cond-gone.c:26^M
0x000001f6 in jumper ()^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-cond-gone.exp: Catch the no longer valid watchpoint
In the test, jumper calls func, and programs returns from func to
jumper's epilogue, IOW, the branch instruction is the last instruction
of jumper's function body.
jumper:
.....
0x000001f2 <+10>: bl 0x200 [1] <---- indirect call to func
0x000001f6 <+14>: mov sp, r7 [2] <---- start of the epilogue
0x000001f8 <+16>: add sp, #8
0x000001fa <+18>: pop {r7}
0x000001fc <+20>: pop {r0}
0x000001fe <+22>: bx r0
When the inferior returns from func back to jumper, it is expected
that an expression of a software watchpoint becomes out-of-scope.
GDB validates the expression by checking the corresponding frame,
but this check is guarded by gdbarch_in_function_epilogue_p. See
breakpoint.c:watchpoint_check.
It doesn't work in this case, because program returns from func's
epilogue back to jumper's epilogue [2], GDB thinks the program is
still within the epilogue, but in fact it goes to a different one.
When PC points at [2], the sp-restore instruction is to be
executed, so the stack frame isn't destroyed yet and we can still
use the frame mechanism reliably.
Note that when PC points to the first instruction of restoring SP,
it is part of epilogue, but we still return zero. When goes to
the next instruction, the backward scan will still match the
epilogue sequence correctly. The reason for doing this is to
handle the "return-to-epilogue" case.
What this patch does is to restrict the epilogue matching that let
GDB think the first SP restore instruction isn't part of the epilogue,
and fall back to use frame mechanism. We set 'found_stack_adjust'
zero before backward scan, and we've done this for arm mode
counterpart (arm_in_function_epilogue_p) too.
The patch is tested in arm-none-eabi and arm-none-linux-gnueabi with
various multilibs. OK to apply?

dwarf2_build_include_psymtabs and handle_DW_AT_stmt_list, in which, 1

The TUI terminal state becomes corrupted (e.g. key sequences such as
Alt_F and Alt_B no longer work) when one attaches to an inferior process
(via "run" or "attach") from within TUI. This terminal corruption
remains until you switch out of TUI mode.
This happens because the terminal state is not properly saved when
switching to and out from TUI mode. Although the functions tui_enable()
and tui_disable() both call the function target_terminal_save_ours() to
save the terminal state, this function is a no-op unless GDB has already
attached to an inferior process. This is because only the "native"
target has a useful implementation of target_terminal_save_ours()
(namely child_terminal_save_ours()) and we only have the "native" target
in our target vector if GDB has already attached to an inferior process.
So without an inferior process, switching to and from TUI mode does not
actually save the terminal state. Therefore when you attach to an
inferior process from within TUI mode, the proper terminal state is not
restored (after swapping from the inferior's terminal back to the GDB
terminal).
To fix this we just have to ensure that the terminal state is always
being properly saved when switching from and to TUI mode. To achieve
this, this patch removes the polymorphic function
target_terminal_save_ours() and replaces it with a regular function
gdb_save_tty_state() that always saves the terminal state.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu by running "make check", no new
regressions.

Some gdb.python/*.exp tests fail because the .py files aren't copied
to the (remote) host. This patch is to copy needed .py files to host.
Most of gdb.python/*.exp tests do this.
As it is still controversial to delete *.py files on host, we don't do
that in this patch.

* gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp: Copy .py file to host.
* gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.python/python.exp: Likewise. Use .py file on the host
instead of the build.
When GDB uses recent version of babeltrace, such as 1.2.x, we'll see
such error emitted from babeltrace library,
(gdb) target ctf .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/actions.ctf
[error] Invalid CTF stream: content size is smaller than packet headers.
[error] Stream index creation error.
[error] Open file stream error.
The problem can be reproduce out of GDB too, using babeltrace,
$ babeltrace ./fake-packet.ctf/
[error] Invalid CTF stream: content size is smaller than packet headers.
[error] Stream index creation error.
[error] Open file stream error.
Recent babeltrace library becomes more strict on CTF, and complains
about one "faked packet" GDB adds, when saving trace data in ctf
format from GDB. babeltrace 1.1.0 has a bug that it can't read trace
data smaller than a certain size (see https://bugs.lttng.org/issues/450).
We workaround it in GDB to append some meaningless data in a faked
packet to make sure trace file is large enough (see ctf.c:ctf_end).
The babeltrace issue was fixed in 1.1.1 release. However, babeltrace
recent release (since 1.1.2) starts to complain about such faked
packet. Here is a table shows that whether faked packet or no faked
packet is "supported" by various babeltrace releases,
faked packet no faked packet
1.1.0 Yes No
1.1.1 Yes Yes
1.1.2 No Yes
1.2.0 No Yes
We decide to get rid of this workaround in GDB, and people can build GDB
with libbabeltrace >= 1.1.1. In this way, both configure and ctf.c is
simpler.
Run gdb.trace/* tests in the following combinations:
wo/ this pattch 1.1.0
w/ this patch 1.1.1
w/ this patch 1.1.2
w/ this patch 1.2.0
No test results change.

Maybe the TRY_CATCH could be more inside update_thread_list().
Similar update_thread_list() call is IMO missing in procfs_make_note_section()
but I do not have where to verify that change.

This TODO has been stale for over 2 years. In bd5635a1 (1991), we
already see the comment, when we only had a bare attach_command:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/*
* TODO:
* Should save/restore the tty state since it might be that the
* program to be debugged was started on this tty and it wants
* the tty in some state other than what we want. If it's running
* on another terminal or without a terminal, then saving and
* restoring the tty state is a harmless no-op.
* This only needs to be done if we are attaching to a process.
*/
/*
* attach_command --
* takes a program started up outside of gdb and ``attaches'' to it.
* This stops it cold in its tracks and allows us to start tracing it.
* For this to work, we must be able to send the process a
* signal and we must have the same effective uid as the program.
*/
void
attach_command (args, from_tty)
char *args;
int from_tty;
{
target_attach (args, from_tty);
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later in b5a3d2aa (1992) target_terminal_init, etc. calls are added to
attach_command, and in 7e97eb28 (1992) we see:
+ /* If we attached to the process, we might or might not be sharing
+ a terminal. Avoid printing error msg if we are unable to set our
+ terminal's process group to his process group ID. */
+ if (!attach_flag) {
+ OOPSY ("ioctl TIOCSPGRP");
Clearly the TODO has been stale for a long while.
I considered preserving the text elsewhere, but then thought the
comments in inflow.c already have all the necessary info.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infcmd.c (attach_command): Remove comment.
