The linker documentation explicitly states that there can be only one
MEMORY command. This is not true. Multiple MEMORY commands are
allowed, the contents of all will be treated as if a single MEMORY
command was given.
Update the documentation to make this clear to the users.
ld/ChangeLog:
* ld.texinfo (MEMORY): Explain that multiple MEMORY commands are
acceptable.
It's bfd_link_info, not elf_link_hash_entry, for the old reference:
* elf32-cris.c (cris_elf_relocate_section)
(elf_cris_finish_dynamic_symbol, cris_elf_check_relocs)
(elf_cris_discard_excess_dso_dynamics): Use SYMBOLIC_BIND, not
just bfd_link_info->symbolic, to check if a symbol should be bound
symbolically.
* elf32-cris.c (cris_elf_relocate_section)
(elf_cris_finish_dynamic_symbol, cris_elf_check_relocs)
(elf_cris_discard_excess_dso_dynamics): Use SYMBOLIC_BIND, not
just h->symbolic, to check if a symbol should be bound
symbolically.

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp: Report test as unsupported if
the target cannot stop at the permanent breakpoint.
These testcases are mocks of real programs.
GDB doesn't care what the programs do, they just have to look
and/or behave like the real program.
These testcases exercise gdb when debugging really large programs.
E.g., gmonster-1 has 10,000 CUs, and gmonster-2 has 1000 shared libs
(which is actually a little small, 5000 would be more accurate).

single-step.exp takes a while to run, and while that's not necessarily
bad, here it's because the default value of SINGLE_STEP_COUNT is 10,000.
We're not going to gain any more insight into perf issues
single-stepping (stepi) 10,000 times over 1,000 times,
so this patch changes the default to 1,000.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.perf/single-step.exp (SINGLE_STEP_COUNT): Change to 1000 from
10000.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (workers/%.worker, build-perf): New rule.
(GDB_PERFTEST_MODE): New variable.
(check-perf): Use it.
(clean): Clean up gdb.perf parallel build subdirs.
* lib/build-piece.exp: New file.
* lib/gdb.exp (make_gdb_parallel_path): New function
(standard_output_file, standard_temp_file): Call it.
(GDB_PARALLEL handling): Make outputs,temp,cache directories as subdirs
of $GDB_PARALLEL.
* lib/cache.exp (gdb_do_cache): Call make_gdb_parallel_path.
This patch does two things.
1) Add support for multiple data points.
2) Move the "report" output from perftest.log to perftest.sum.
I want to record the raw data somewhere, and a bit of statistical analysis
(standard deviation left for another day), but I also don't want
it to clutter up the basic report.
This patch takes a cue from gdb.{sum,log} and does the same thing
with perftest.{sum,log}.
Ultimately, we'll probably want to emit raw data to csv files or some
such and then do post-processing passes on that.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/perftest/reporter.py (SUM_FILE_NAME): New global.
(LOG_FILE_NAME): New global.
(TextReporter.__init__): Initialize self.txt_sum.

Move report to perftest.sum, put raw data in perftest.log.

As of commit a5fdf78a44, building GDB with
a GCC 4.1 host compiler fails with:
gdb/cp-namespace.c: In function 'cp_lookup_symbol_via_imports':
gdb/cp-namespace.c:482: warning: 'sym.block' may be used uninitialized in this function
Apparently, more recent compilers are able to deduce that no actual
uninitialized use of sym.block takes place, but GCC 4.1 isn't yet
able to do that.
Fixed by adding an explicit initalization.
gdb/
* cp-namespace.c (cp_lookup_symbol_via_imports): Fix uninitialized

The previous commit (Replace the block_found global with explicit
data-flow) lacks updates in a couple of files because it was not
tested building GDB with --enable-targets=all... but buildbots did.
This adds the appropriate simple updates to fix the build.

As Pedro suggested on gdb-patches@ (see
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00714.html), this
change makes symbol lookup functions return a structure that includes
both the symbol found and the block in which it was found. This makes
it possible to get rid of the block_found global variable and thus makes
block hunting explicit.

The buildbots show that attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp is racy.
But after staring at debug logs and playing with SystemTap scripts for
a (long) while, I figured out that neither GDB, nor the kernel nor the
test's program itself are at fault.
The problem is simply that the testsuite machinery is currently
subject to PID-reuse races. The attach-many-short-lived-threads.c
test program just happens to be much more susceptible to trigger this
race because threads and processes share the same number space on
Linux, and the test spawns many many short lived threads in
succession, thus enlarging the race window a lot.
Part of the problem is that several tests spawn processes with "exec&"
(in order to test the "attach" command) , and then at the end of the
test, to make sure things are cleaned up, issue a 'remote_spawn "kill
-p $testpid"'. Since with tcl's "exec&", tcl itself is responsible
for reaping the process's exit status, when we go kill the process,
testpid may have already exited _and_ its status may have (and often
has) been reaped already. Thus it can happen that another process
meanwhile reuses $testpid, and that "kill" command kills the wrong
process... Frequently, that happens to be
attach-many-short-lived-thread, but this explains other test's races
as well.
In the attach-many-short-lived-threads test, it sometimes manifests
like this:
(gdb) file /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads
Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads...done.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: detach
GDB mishandles the latter (it should ignore ESRCH while detaching just
like when continuing), but that's another story.
The fix here is to change spawn_wait_for_attach to use Expect's
'spawn' command instead of Tcl's 'exec&' to spawn programs, because
with spawn we control when to wait for/reap the process. That allows
killing the process by PID without being subject to pid-reuse races,
because even if the process is already dead, the kernel won't reuse
the process's PID until the zombie is reaped.
The other part of the problem lies in DejaGnu itself, unfortunately.
I have occasionally seen tests (attach-many-short-lived-threads
included, but not only that one) die with a random inexplicable
SIGTERM too, and that too is caused by the same reason, except that in
that case, the rogue SIGTERM is sent from this bit in DejaGnu's remote.exp:
exec sh -c "exec > /dev/null 2>&1 && (kill -2 $pgid || kill -2 $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill $pgid || kill $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill -9 $pgid || kill -9 $pid) &"
...
catch "wait -i $shell_id"
Even if the program exits promptly, that whole cascade of kills
carries on in the background, thus potentially killing the poor
process that manages to reuse $pid...
I sent a fix for that to the DejaGnu list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00000.html
With both patches in place, I haven't seen
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp fail again.

All the "[Thread FOO] #NN stopped." above are bogus, as well as the
"Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.",
which is a consequence.
The problem is that when we intercept a fork event, we should report
the event for the parent, only, and leave the child stopped, but not
report its stop event. GDB later decides whether to follow the parent
or the child. But because handle_extended_wait does not set the
child's last_status.kind to TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, a
stop_all_threads/unstop_all_lwps sequence (e.g., from trying to access
memory) by mistake ends up queueing a SIGSTOP on the child, resuming
it, and then when that SIGSTOP is intercepted, because the LWP has
last_resume_kind set to resume_stop, gdbserver reports the stop to
GDB, as GDB_SIGNAL_0:
...

* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Set the child's last
reported status to TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED.
The new gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test exposes one more
problem. When one types "info inferiors" after running the program,
one see's a couple inferior left still, while there should only be
inferior #1 left. E.g.:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
4 process 8393 /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
2 process 8388 /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
* 1 <null> /home/pedro/bugs/src/test
(gdb) info threads
Calling prune_inferiors() manually at this point (from a top gdb) does
not remove them, because they still have inf->pid != 0 (while they
shouldn't). This suggests that we never mourned those inferiors.
Enabling logs (master + previous patch) we see:

Note the "Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 9508) exited." line.
That's this in wait_lwp:
/* Check if the thread has exited. */
if (WIFEXITED (status) || WIFSIGNALED (status))
{
thread_dead = 1;
if (debug_linux_nat)
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "WL: %s exited.\n",
target_pid_to_str (lp->ptid));
}
}
That was the leader thread reporting an exit, meaning the whole
process is gone. So the problem is that this code doesn't understand
that an WIFEXITED status of the leader LWP should be reported to
infrun as process exit.

* gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: Test that "info inferiors"
only shows inferior 1.
When a program forks and another process start threads while gdb is
handling the fork event, newly created threads are left stuck stopped
by gdb, even though gdb presents them as "running", to the user.
This can be seen with the test added by this patch. The test has the
inferior fork a certain number of times and waits for all children to
exit. Each fork child spawns a number of threads that do nothing and
joins them immediately. Normally, the program should run unimpeded
(from the point of view of the user) and exit very quickly. Without
this fix, it doesn't because of some threads left stopped by gdb, so
inferior 1 never exits.
The program triggers when a new clone thread is found while inside the
linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps call in linux-thread-db.c:
linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps ();
ALL_LWPS (lp)
if (ptid_get_pid (lp->ptid) == pid)
thread_from_lwp (lp->ptid);
linux_unstop_all_lwps ();
Within linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps, we reach
linux_handle_extended_wait with the "stopping" parameter set to 1, and
because of that we don't mark the new lwp as resumed. As consequence,
the subsequent resume_stopped_resumed_lwps, called from
linux_unstop_all_lwps, never resumes the new LWP.
There's lots of cruft in linux_handle_extended_wait that no longer
makes sense. On systems with CLONE events support, we don't rely on
libthread_db for thread listing anymore, so the code that preserves
stop_requested and the handling of last_resume_kind is all dead.
So the fix is to remove all that, and simply always mark the new LWP
as resumed, so that resume_stopped_resumed_lwps re-resumes it.

This patch removes the isize output argument from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at gdbarch hook. It was used to return the size
of the instruction that needs to be replaced when installing a fast
tracepoint. Instead of getting this value from the
fast_tracepoint_valid_at hook, we can call the gdb_insn_length function.
If we do not do this, then architectures which do not have a restriction
on where to install the fast tracepoint will send uninitialized memory
off to GDBserver. See remote_download_tracepoint:
~~~
int isize;
if (gdbarch_fast_tracepoint_valid_at (target_gdbarch (),
tpaddr, &isize, NULL))
xsnprintf (buf + strlen (buf), BUF_SIZE - strlen (buf), ":F%x",
isize);
~~~
The default implementation of fast_tracepoint_valid_at will not set
isize resulting in uninitialized memory being sent. Later on, GDBserver
could use this information to compute a jump offset.

isize argument.

After previous patch, we don't need global variable arm_hwcap. This

* linux-arm-low.c (arm_hwcap): Remove it.
(arm_read_description): New local variable arm_hwcap. Don't
set arm_hwcap to zero.
arm_hwcap is a global variable, and we should avoid using it as much
as we can. Instead of checking arm_hwcap, we can check whether
regcache->tdesc is a certain kind of target description. This is
what this patch does.
gdb/gdbserver:
2015-07-30 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>

In order to align with arm-linux-nat.c counterparts, we don't use
arm_num_regs and arm_regmap in functions arm_fill_gregset and
arm_store_gregset. Instead, we use register numbers. With this
patch applied, arm_fill_gregset and arm_store_gregset don't need
arm_num_regs and arm_regmap, and they will be moved to a separate
file shared for both arm and aarch64 in the following patch.

This patch cleans up the decoding functions using booleans when they can
decode two instructions. The boolean argument is used to know which of
the two instructions was decoded.
The instructions affected are BR/BLR, B/BL, CBZ/CBNZ and TBZ/TBNZ.
These arguments would be named after a named bit in the instruction
encoding, this patch renames them to 'is_XXX'. Furthermore, the
'unsigned' type would be used to describe a boolean while
aarch64_decode_cb would use 'int' (see the 'is64' argument). This patch
makes all booleans be 'int' and decoded bitfields be 'unsigned'.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c (decode_b): Rename link argument to is_bl.

Since Pedro's ptrace cleanups, the MIPS buildbot compilation fails.
Code in MIPS native uses ptrace with 3 arguments, where ptrace requires
4. When looking at the definition of ptrace in
/usr/include/sys/ptrace.h, it shows that it takes a variable number of
arguments. The wrapper macro in nat/gdb_ptrace.h takes a fixed number
of arguments (4). That would explain why it used to work and stopped.
I am pushing this as obvious, tell me if there is any problem.
I built-tested this with a MIPS toolchain (ct-ng), but I don't have any
setup to test it. At least it should put back the buildbot builder in a
better shape.
