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.

I noticed that if we step into an inline function, step_1 never
reaches proceed, and thus nevers sets the thread's
tp->control.command_interp. Because of that,
should_print_stop_to_console fails to determine that is should print
stop output to the console.
The fix is to set the thread's command_interp earlier. However, I
realized that we can move that field to the thread_fsm, given that its
lifetime is exactly the same as thread_fsm. So the patch plumbs all
fsms constructors to take the command interp and store it in the
thread_fsm.
We can see the fix in action, with e.g., the gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp
test, and issuing a step when stopped at line 67:

FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: intermediate stop and continue
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: test hitting breakpoint with commands (timeout)
Note the line marked >> above.
The test sets a breakpoint that runs "continue", a foreground command.
When we get to run the "continue", we've already emitted the *stopped
event on the MI UI, and set its prompt state to PROMPT_NEEDED (this is
done from within normal_stop). Since inferior events are always
handled with the main UI as current UI, breakpoint commands always run
with the main UI as current UI too. This means that the "continue"
ends up always disabling the prompt on the main UI, instead of the UI
that had just been done with synchronous execution.
I think we'll want to extend this with a concept of "set of
threads/inferiors a UI/interpreter is blocked waiting on", but I'm
leaving that for a separate series.

When sync_execution (a boolean) is true, it means we're running a
foreground command -- we hide the prompt stop listening to input, give
the inferior the terminal, then go to the event loop waiting for the
target to stop.
With multiple independent UIs, we need to track whether each UI is
synchronously blocked waiting for the target. IOW, if you do
"continue" in one console, that console stops accepting commands, but
you should still be free to type other commands in the others
consoles.
Just simply making sync_execution be per-UI alone not sufficient,
because of this in fetch_inferior_event:
/* If the inferior was in sync execution mode, and now isn't,
restore the prompt (a synchronous execution command has finished,
and we're ready for input). */
if (current_ui->async && was_sync && !sync_execution)
observer_notify_sync_execution_done ();
We'd have to record at entry the "was_sync" state for each UI, not
just of the current UI.
This patch instead replaces the sync_execution flag by a per-UI
tristate flag indicating the command line prompt state:
enum prompt_state
{
/* The command line is blocked simulating synchronous execution.
This is used to implement the foreground execution commands
('run', 'continue', etc.). We won't display the prompt and
accept further commands until the execution is actually over. */
PROMPT_BLOCKED,
/* The command finished; display the prompt before returning back to
the top level. */
PROMPT_NEEDED,
/* We've displayed the prompt already, ready for input. */
PROMPTED,
;
I think the end result is _much_ clearer than the current code, and,
it addresses the original motivation too.

Due to the way that readline's API works (based on globals), we can
only have one instance of readline in a process. So the goal of this
patch is to only allow editing in the main UI, and make sure that only
one UI calls into readline. Some MI paths touch readline variables
currently, which is bad as that is changing variables that matter for
the main console UI. This patch fixes those.
This actually fixes a nasty bug -- starting gdb in MI mode ("gdb
-i=mi"), and then doing "set editing on" crashes GDB, because MI is
not prepared to use readline:
set editing on
&"set editing on\n"
=cmd-param-changed,param="editing",value="on"
^done

With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of
boundary violation. A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as
a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3. This patch adds a
handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed
when a bound violation is presented to the inferior. In the stop mode
case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or
"lower", bounds and the address accessed.
On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged. Additional
information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user
does not know the line in which violation occurred as well.
When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be
changed as exemplified below.
The usual output of a segfault is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as:

If you have "set follow-fork child" set, then if you do "info threads"
right after a fork, and before the child reports any other event to
GDB core, you'll see:
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 31875) "fork-plus-threa" (running)
2.1 process 31879 "fork-plus-threa" Selected thread is running.
(gdb)
The "Selected thread is running." bit is a bogus error. That was GDB
trying to fetch the current frame of thread 2.1, because the external
runnning state is "stopped", and then throwing an error because the
thread is actually running.
This actually affects all-stop + schedule-multiple as well.
The problem here is that on a fork event, GDB doesn't update the
external parent/child running states.
New comprehensive test included. The "kill inferior 1" / "kill
inferior 2" bits also trip on PR gdb/19494 (hang killing unfollowed
fork children), which was fixed by the previous patch.

This commit changes GDB like this:
- Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
+ Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
- Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
+ Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html
This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:

The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.
It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":
...
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...
The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.
I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in
"Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"
but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.

This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 6022 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads

1.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
1.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)

(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

This commit merges both the registers and $_siginfo "thread
running/executing" checks into a single function.
Accessing $_siginfo from a "catch signal" breakpoint condition doesn't
work. The condition always fails with "Selected thread is running":
(gdb) catch signal
Catchpoint 3 (standard signals)
(gdb)
condition $bpnum $_siginfo.si_signo == 5
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Error in testing breakpoint condition:
Selected thread is running.
Catchpoint 3 (signal SIGUSR1), 0x0000003615e35877 in __GI_raise (sig=10) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56
56 return INLINE_SYSCALL (tgkill, 3, pid, selftid, sig);
(gdb)
When accessing the $_siginfo object, we check whether the thread is
marked running (external/public) state and refuse the access if so.
This is so "print $_siginfo" at the prompt fails nicelly when the
current thread is running. While evaluating breakpoint conditionals,
we haven't decided yet whether the thread is going to stop, so
is_running still returns true, and we thus always error out.
Evaluating an expression that requires registers access is really
conceptually the same -- we could think of $_siginfo as a pseudo
register. However, in that case we check whether the thread is marked
executing (internal/private state), not running (external/public
state). Changing the $_siginfo validation to check is_executing as
well fixes the bug in question.
Note that checking is_executing is not fully correct, not even for
registers. See PR 19389. However, I think this is the lesser of two
evils and ends up as an improvement. We at least now have a single
place to fix.
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

PR 14618
* infrun.c (handle_no_resumed): New function.
(handle_inferior_event_1) <TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED>: Defer to
handle_no_resumed.
When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

This is the first pass at implementing support for all-stop mode
running against the remote target using the non-stop variant of the
protocol.
The trickiest part here is the initial connection setup/synching. We
need to fetch all inferiors' target descriptions etc. before stopping
threads, because stop_all_threads needs to read the threads' registers
(to record each thread's stop_pc). But OTOH, the initial inferior
setup (target_post_attach, post_create_inferior, etc.), only works
correctly if the inferior is stopped... So I've split that initial
setup part from attach_command_post_wait to a separate function, and
added a "still needs setup" flag to the inferior structure. This is
similar to gdbserver/linux-low.c's handling of discovering the
process's target description). Then if on connection all threads of
the remote inferior are running, when we go about stopping them, as
soon as they stop we call setup_inferior, from within
stop_all_threads.
Also, in all-stop, we need to process all the initial stop replies to
learn about all the pending signal the threads may already be stopped
for, and pick the one to report as current. This is exposed by
gdb.threads/reconnect-signal.exp.

GDB resumes the whole process (all threads) rather than the specific
thread for which GDB wants to step over the breakpoint (as shown in [1]).
That is wrong because we resume a single thread and leave others stopped
when doing a normal step over where we temporarily remove the breakpoint,
single-step, reinsert the breakpoint, is that if we let other threads run
in the period while the breakpoint is removed, then these other threads
could miss the breakpoint. Since with displaced stepping, we don't ever
remove the breakpoint, it should be fine to let other threads run. However,
there's another reason that we should not let other threads run: that is
the case where some of those threads are also stopped for a breakpoint that
itself needs to be stepped over. If we just let those threads run, then
they immediately re-trap their breakpoint again.
when displaced stepping is off, GDB behaves correctly, only resumes
the specific thread (as shown in [2]).

The current logic in GDB on deciding the set of threads to resume is:

if ((step || thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (tp))
&& tp->control.trap_expected)
{
/* We're allowing a thread to run past a breakpoint it has

breakpoint if allowed to run. */
resume_ptid = inferior_ptid;
}
else
resume_ptid = internal_resume_ptid (user_step);
it doesn't handle the case correctly that GDB continue (instead of
single step) the thread for displaced stepping.
I also update the comment below to reflect the code. I remove the
"with the breakpoint removed" comment, because GDB doesn't remove
breakpoints in displaced stepping, so we don't have to worry that
other threads may miss the breakpoint.

This patch fixes C++ build errors like this:
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:1126:35: error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘filterflags’ [-fpermissive]
| COREFILTER_HUGETLB_PRIVATE);
^
This is a case of enums used as bit flags. Unlike "regular" enums,
these values are supposed to be or'ed together. However, in C++, the
type of "(ENUM1 | ENUM2)" is int, and you then can't assign an int to
an enum variable without a cast. That means that this:
enum foo_flags flags = 0;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG1;
if (...)
flags |= FOO_FLAG2;
... would have to be written as:
enum foo_flags flags = (enum foo_flags) 0;
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG1);
if (...)
flags = (enum foo_flags) (flags | FOO_FLAG2);
which is ... ugly. Alternatively, we'd have to use an int for the
variable's type, which isn't ideal either.
This patch instead adds an "enum flags" class. "enum flags" are
exactly the enums where the values are bits that are meant to be ORed
together.
This allows writing code like the below, while with raw enums this
would fail to compile without casts to enum type at the assignments to
'f':
enum some_flag
{
flag_val1 = 1 << 1,
flag_val2 = 1 << 2,
flag_val3 = 1 << 3,
flag_val4 = 1 << 4,
};
DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE(enum some_flag, some_flags)
some_flags f = flag_val1 | flag_val2;
f |= flag_val3;
It's also possible to assign literal zero to an enum flags variable
(meaning, no flags), dispensing either adding an awkward explicit "no
value" value to the enumeration or the cast to assignments from 0.
For example:
some_flags f = 0;
f |= flag_val3 | flag_val4;
Note that literal integers other than zero do fail to compile:
some_flags f = 1; // error
C is still supported -- DEF_ENUM_FLAGS_TYPE is just a typedef in that
case.

Assuming displaced stepping is enabled, and a breakpoint is set in the
memory region of the scratch pad, things break. One of two cases can
happen:
#1 - The breakpoint wasn't inserted yet (all threads were stopped), so
after setting up the displaced stepping scratch pad with the
adjusted copy of the instruction we're trying to single-step, we
insert the breakpoint, which corrupts the scratch pad, and the
inferior executes the wrong instruction. (Example below.)
This is clearly unacceptable.
#2 - The breakpoint was already inserted, so setting up the displaced
stepping scratch pad overwrites the breakpoint. This is OK in
the sense that we already assume that no thread is going to
executes the code in the scratch pad range (after initial
startup) anyway.
This commit addresses both cases by simply punting on displaced
stepping if we have a breakpoint in the scratch pad range.
The #1 case above explains a few regressions exposed by the AS/NS
series on x86:

Enabling "maint set target-non-stop on" implies displaced stepping
enabled as well, and it's the latter that's to blame here. We can see
the same failures with "maint set target-non-stop off + set displaced
on".

stepi, the program manages to write 52301/0xcc4d there instead (0xcc

Record targets behave as if scheduler-locking were on in replay mode. Add a
new scheduler-locking option "replay" to make this implicit behaviour explicit.
It behaves like "on" in replay mode and like "off" in record mode.
By making the current behaviour a scheduler-locking option, we allow the user
to change it. Since it is the current behaviour, this new option is also
the new default.
One caveat is that when resuming a thread that is at the end of its execution
history, record btrace implicitly stops replaying other threads and resumes
the entire process. This is a convenience feature to not require the user
to explicitly move all other threads to the end of their execution histories
before being able to resume the process.
We mimick this behaviour with scheduler-locking replay and move it from
record-btrace into infrun. With all-stop on top of non-stop, we can't do
this in record-btrace anymore.
Record full does not really support multi-threading and is therefore not
impacted. If it were extended to support multi-threading, it would 'benefit'
from this change. The good thing is that all record targets will behave the
same with respect to scheduler-locking.
I put the code for this into clear_proceed_status. It also sends the
about_to_proceed notification.

A thread that runs out of its execution history is stopped. We already set

In normal_stop, we call finish_thread_state_cleanup to set a thread's running
state. In all-stop mode, we call it with minus_one_ptid; in non-stop mode, we
only call it for inferior_ptid.
If in non-stop mode normal_stop is called on behalf of a thread that is not
inferior_ptid, that other thread will still be reported as running. If it is
actually stopped it can't be resumed again.
Record targets traditionally don't support non-stop and only resume
inferior_ptid. So this has not been a problem, so far.

non-stop for the record btrace target.

This patch, relative to a tree with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-08/msg00295.html, fixes
issues/crashes that trigger if something unexpected happens during a
hook-stop.
E.g., if the inferior disappears while running the hook-stop, we hit
failed assertions:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>kill
>end
(gdb) si
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/../src/gdb/thread.c:88: internal-error: inferior_thread: Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
I noticed that if a hook-stop issues a synchronous execution command,
we print the same stop event twice:
(gdb) define hook-stop
Type commands for definition of "hook-stop".
End with a line saying just "end".
>si
>end
(gdb) si
0x000000000040074a 42 args[i] = 1; /* Init value. */ <<<<<<< once
0x000000000040074a 42 args[i] = 1; /* Init value. */ <<<<<<< twice
(gdb)
In MI:
*stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame={addr="0x000000000040074a",func="main",args=[],file="threads.c",fullname="/home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads.c",line="42"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"

(gdb)
The fix has GDB stop processing the event if the context changed. I
don't expect people to be doing crazy things from the hook-stop.
E.g., it gives me headaches to try to come up a proper behavior for
handling a thread change from a hook-stop... (E.g., imagine the
hook-stop does thread N; step, with scheduler-locing on). I think the
most important bit here is preventing crashes.
The patch adds a new hook-stop.exp test that covers the above and also
merges in the old hook-stop-continue.exp and hook-stop-frame.exp into
the same framework.

This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

(maybe_remove_breakpoints): New function, factored out from ...
(normal_stop): ... here. Simplify.

* thread-fsm.c (thread_fsm_should_notify_stop): New function.
(thread-fsm.h) <struct thread_fsm_ops>: New field.
(thread_fsm_should_notify_stop): Declare.
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.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".

This patch fixes a segmentation fault in native GDB when

In follow_exec we were creating a new inferior for the execd program,
as required by the exec mode, but we were doing it before calling
exit_inferior_num_silent on the original inferior. So on entry to
exit_inferior_num_silent we had two inferiors with the same ptid.
In the calls made by exit_inferior_num_silent, the current inferior
is temporarily saved and replaced in order to make use of functions
that only operate on the current inferior (for example, in
do_all_continuations, called while deleting the threads of the original
inferior). When we restored the original inferior, we just took the
first inferior that matched the ptid of the original and got the new
(wrong) one. It hadn't been initialized yet and had no gdbarch
pointer, and GDB segfaulted.
The fix for that is to call exit_inferior_num_silent before adding the new
inferior, so that we never have two inferiors with the same ptid. Then
exit_inferior_num_silent uses the original inferior as the current inferior
throughout, and can find a valid gdbarch pointer.
Once we have finished with the exit of the old inferior and added the
new one, we need to create a new thread for the new inferior. In the
function that called follow_exec, handle_inferior_event_1,
ecs->event_thread now points to the thread that was deleted with the
exit of the original inferior. To remedy this we create the new thread,
and once we return from follow_exec we reset ecs->event_thread.
Note that we are guaranteed that we can reset ecs->event_thread
safely using inferior_thread because we have set the current
inferior in follow_exec, and inferior_ptid was set by the call
to context_switch at the beginning of exec event handling.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (follow_exec): Re-order operations for
handling follow-exec-mode "new".
(handle_inferior_event_1): Assign ecs->event_thread
to the current thread.
* remote.c (get_remote_arch_state): Add an assertion.
GDB's current behavior when dealing with non-local references in the
context of nested fuctions is approximative:
- code using valops.c:value_of_variable read the first available stack
frame that holds the corresponding variable (whereas there can be
multiple candidates for this);
- code directly relying on read_var_value will instead read non-local
variables in frames where they are not even defined.
This change adds the necessary context to symbol reads (to get the block
they belong to) and to blocks (the static link property, if any) so that
GDB can make the proper decisions when dealing with non-local varibale
references.

The main motivation for this is making non-stop / all-stop behave
similarly on initial connection, in order to move in the direction of
reimplementing all-stop mode with the remote target always running in
non-stop mode.
When we connect to a remote target in non-stop mode, we may find
threads either running or already stopped. The act of connecting
itself does not force threads to stop. To handle that, the remote
non-stop connection is currently roughly like this:
#1 - Fetch list of remote threads (qXfer:threads:read, qfThreadInfo,
etc). All threads are assumed to be running until the target
reports an asynchronous stop reply for them.
#2 - Fetch the initial set of threads that were already stopped, with
the '?' packet. (In non-stop, this is coupled with the vStopped
mechanism to be able to retrieve the status of more than one
thread.)
The stop replies fetched in #2 are placed in the pending stop reply
queue, and left for the regular event loop to process. That is,
"target remote" finishes and returns _before_ those stops are
processed.
That means that it's possible to have GDB process further commands
before the initial set of stopped threads is reported to the user.
E.g., before the patch, note how the prompt is printed before the
frame:
Remote debugging using :9999
(gdb)
[Thread 15296] #1 stopped.
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
Even though thread #1 was not running, for a moment, the user can see
it as such:
$ gdb a.out -ex "set non-stop 1" -ex "tar rem :9999" -ex "info threads" -ex "info registers"
Remote debugging using :9999
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 4772 (running)
Target is executing. <<<<<<< info registers
(gdb)
[Thread 4772] #1 stopped.
0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
To fix that, this commit makes gdb process all threads found already
stopped at connection time, before giving the prompt to the user.
The fix takes a cue from fork-child.c:startup_inferior [1], and
processes the events locally in remote.c, avoiding the whole
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event path. I decided to try this
approach after noticing that:
- several cases in handle_inferior_event miss checking stop_soon.
- we don't want to fetch the thread list in normal_stop.
and trying to fix them was resulting in sprinkling stop_soon checks in
many places, and uglifying normal_stop even more.
While with this patch, I'm avoiding changing GDB's output other than
when the prompt is printed, I think this approach is more flexible if
we do want to change it. And also, it's likely easier to get rid of
the MI *running event that is still sent for threads that are
initially found stopped, if we want to.
This happens to fix the testsuite too. All non-stop tests are racy
against "target remote" / gdbserver testing currently. That is,
sometimes the tests run, but other times they're just skipped without
any indication of PASS/FAIL. When that happens, the logs show:
target remote localhost:2346
Remote debugging using localhost:2346

The trouble here is that there's output after the prompt, and the
regex in question doesn't expect that:
-re "Remote debugging using .*$serialport_re.*$gdb_prompt $" {
verbose "Set target to $targetname"
return 0
}
[1] - before startup_inferior was added, we'd go through
wait_for_inferior/handle_inferior_event while going through the shell,
and that turned out problematic.

Even though that was a native GNU/Linux test run, this test spawns
Valgrind and connects to it with "target remote". The error above is
actually orthogonal to target-non-stop. The real issue is that that
enables displaced stepping, and displaced stepping doesn't work with
Valgrind, because we can't write to the inferior memory (thus can't
copy the instruction to the scratch pad area).
I'm sure there will be other targets with the same issue, so trying to
identify Valgrind wouldn't be sufficient. The fix is to try setting
up the displaced step anyway. If we get a MEMORY_ERROR, we disable
displaced stepping for that inferior, and fall back to doing an
in-line step-over. If "set displaced-stepping" is "on" (as opposed to
"auto), GDB warns displaced stepping failed ("on" is mainly useful for
the testsuite, not for users).

This finally implements user-visible all-stop mode running with the
target_ops backend always in non-stop mode. This is a stepping stone
towards finer-grained control of threads, being able to do interesting
things like thread groups, associating groups with breakpoints, etc.
From the user's perspective, all-stop mode is really just a special
case of being able to stop and resume specific sets of threads, so it
makes sense to do this step first.
With this, even in all-stop, the target is no longer in charge of
stopping all threads before reporting an event to the core -- the core
takes care of it when it sees fit. For example, when "next"- or
"step"-ing, we can avoid stopping and resuming all threads at each
internal single-step, and instead only stop all threads when we're
about to present the stop to the user.
The implementation is almost straight forward, as the heavy lifting
has been done already in previous patches. Basically, we replace
checks for "set non-stop on/off" (the non_stop global), with calls to
a new target_is_non_stop_p function. In a few places, if "set
non-stop off", we stop all threads explicitly, and in a few other
places we resume all threads explicitly, making use of existing
methods that were added for teaching non-stop to step over breakpoints
without displaced stepping.
This adds a new "maint set target-non-stop on/off/auto" knob that
allows both disabling the feature if we find problems, and
force-enable it for development (useful when teaching a target about
this. The default is "auto", which means the feature is enabled if a
new target method says it should be enabled. The patch implements the
method in linux-nat.c, just for illustration, because it still returns
false. We'll need a few follow up fixes before turning it on by
default. This is a separate target method from indicating regular
non-stop support, because e.g., while e.g., native linux-nat.c is
close to regression free with all-stop-non-stop (with following
patches will fixing the remaining regressions), remote.c+gdbserver
will still need more fixing, even though it supports "set non-stop
on".
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, with and without "set displaced
off", and with and without "maint set target-non-stop on"; and also
against gdbserver.

That is, step past breakpoints by:
- pausing all threads
- removing breakpoint at PC
- single-step
- reinsert breakpoint
- restart threads
similarly to all-stop (with displaced stepping disabled). This allows
non-stop to work on targets/architectures without displaced stepping
support. That is, it makes displaced stepping an optimization instead
of a requirement. For example, in principle, all GNU/Linux ports
support non-stop mode at the target_ops level, but not all
corresponding gdbarch's implement displaced stepping. This should
make non-stop work for all (albeit, not as efficiently). And then
there are scenarios where even if the architecture supports displaced
stepping, we can't use it, because we e.g., don't find a usable
address to use as displaced step scratch pad. It should also fix
stepping past watchpoints on targets that have non-continuable
watchpoints in non-stop mode (e.g., PPC, untested). Running the
instruction out of line in the displaced stepping scratch pad doesn't
help that case, as the copied instruction reads/writes the same
watched memory... We can fix that too by teaching GDB to only remove
the watchpoint from the thread that we want to move past the
watchpoint (currently, removing a watchpoint always removes it from
all threads), but again, that can be considered an optimization; not
all targets would support it.
For those familiar with the gdb and gdbserver Linux target_ops
backends, the implementation should look similar, except it is done on
the core side. When we pause threads, we may find they stop with an
interesting event that should be handled later when the thread is
re-resumed, thus we store such events in the thread object, and mark
the event as pending. We should only consume pending events if the
thread is indeed resumed, thus we add a new "resumed" flag to the
thread object. At a later stage, we might add new target methods to
accelerate some of this, like "pause all threads", with corresponding
RSP packets, but we'd still need a fallback method for remote targets
that don't support such packets, so, again, that can be deferred as
optimization.
My _real_ motivation here is making it possible to reimplement
all-stop mode on top of the target always working on non-stop mode, so
that e.g., we can send RSP packets to a remote target even while the
target is running -- can't do that in the all-stop RSP variant, by
design).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "set displaced off"
forced. The latter forces the new code paths whenever GDB needs to
step past a breakpoint.

Several misc cleanups that prepare the tail end of this function, the
part that actually re-resumes the stepped thread.
The most non-obvious would be the currently_stepping change, I guess.
That's because it isn't ever correct to pass step=1 to target_resume
on software single-step targets, and currently_stepping works at a
conceptual higher level, it returns step=true even on software step
targets. It doesn't really matter on hardware step targets, as the
breakpoint will be hit immediately, but it's just wrong on software
step targets. I tested it against my x86 software single-step branch,
and it indeed fixes failed assertions (that catch spurious
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP requests) there.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Use ecs->ptid instead
of inferior_ptid. If the stepped thread vanished, return 0
instead of resuming here. Use reset_ecs. Print the prev_pc and
the current stop_pc in log message. Clear trap_expected if the
thread advanced. Don't pass currently_stepping to
do_target_resume.
The main motivation of this patch is sharing more code between the
proceed (starting the inferior for the first time) and keep_going
(restarting the inferior after handling an event) paths and using the
step_over_chain queue now embedded in the thread_info object for
pending in-line step-overs too (instead of just for displaced
stepping).
So this commit:
- splits out a new keep_going_pass_signal function out of keep_going
that is just like keep_going except for the bits that clear the
signal to pass if the signal is set to "handle nopass".
- makes proceed use keep_going too.
- Makes start_step_over use keep_going_pass_signal instead of lower
level displaced stepping things.
One user visible change: if inserting breakpoints while trying to
proceed fails, we now get:
(gdb) si
Warning:
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 7.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.
Command aborted.

while before we only saw warnings with no indication that the command
