Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
The problem is that we see gdbserver exiting before we match gdb's
output:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
Fix this by removing $inferior_spawn_id from the set of spawn ids
expect is watching as soon as we see the "end of file" string out of
the inferior spawn id, using an indirect spawn id list.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver (both target remote
and extended-remote).
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Use an indirect spawn id list holding
$inferior_spawn_id instead of $inferior_spawn_id directly. On
"end of file", remove $inferior_spawn_id from the indirect list.
To avoid confusion between "end of file" string matching and eof
matching, as in process exit.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Rename saw_eof to saw_end_of_file.
Since silent handling of eof is usually the wrong thing to do, this
patch makes gdb_test_multiple handle it for all $any_spawn_id.
Currently, against gdbserver, interrupt.exp occasionaly fails like
this:
FAIL: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
gdb.log with expect debug output enabled shows:
expect: does "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n" (spawn_id exp8) match regular expression "end of file"? Gate "end of file"? gate=no
expect: read eof
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp8"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "\r\n\r\nChild exited with status 0\r\nGDBserver exiting\r\n"
FAIL: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
Note "expect: read eof" for spawn_id=exp8. exp8 is
inferior_spawn_id/gdbserver_spawn_id. That means
expect/gdb_test_multiple saw gdbserver exit before we got the expected
gdb output. Since there's no explicit pattern for "eof", expect (and
thus gdb_test_multiple) just returns.
After this commit, we get instead:
ERROR: Process no longer exists
UNRESOLVED: gdb.base/interrupt.exp: send end of file
Note that before we still got an FAIL because $saw_inferior_exit is 0
when we get to:
gdb_assert { $saw_eof && $saw_inferior_exit } $msg
Fixing the fail (now unresolved) will be the subject of a separate
patch.

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): Match eof/full_buffer/timeout
on $any_spawn_id instead of only on $gdb_spawn_id.
In readline 6.3, the semantics of SIGWINCH handling has changed.
When a SIGWINCH signal is raised, readline's rl_sigwinch_handler() now
does not immediately call rl_resize_terminal(). Instead it sets a flag
that is checked by RL_CHECK_SIGNALS() at a point where readline has
control, and calls rl_resize_terminal() if said flag is set.
This change is item (c) in https://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/CHANGES
c. Fixed a bug that caused readline to try and run code to modify its idea
of the screen size in a signal handler context upon receiving a SIGWINCH.
This change in behavior is important to us because TUI's
tui_sigwinch_handler() relies on the assumption that by the time it's
called, readline will have updated its knowledge of the terminal
dimensions via rl_resize_terminal(). Since this assumption no longer
holds true, TUI's SIGWINCH handling does not work correctly with
readline 6.3.
To fix this issue this patch makes TUI explicitly call
rl_resize_terminal() in tui_async_resize_screen() at the point where
current terminal dimensions are needed. (We could call it in
tui_sigwinch_handler too, but since readline avoids doing it, we are
probably safer off avoiding to call it in signal handler context as
well.) After this change, SIGWINCH handling continues to work properly
with both readline 6.2 and 6.3.
Since we no longer need it, we could now explicitly disable readline's
SIGWINCH handler by setting rl_catch_sigwinch to zero early on in the
program startup but I can't seem to find a good spot to place this
assignment (the first call to rl_initialize() occurs in
tui_initialize_readline() so the assignment should occur before then),
and the handler is harmless anyway.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-win.c (tui_async_resize_screen): Call
rl_resize_terminal().
Using the 'catch-signal' test from the testsuite, on x86_64 Cygwin:

40 raise (SIGHUP); /* second HUP */
Failed to resume program execution (ContinueDebugEvent failed, error 87)
(gdb)
This error occurs because when handle_output_debug_string processes a Cygwin
signal message, it re-writes current_event.dwThreadId to reflect the thread that
the signal will be delivered to, which can be different to the thread reporting
the signal.
Altering current_event.dwThreadId() will cause ContinueDebugEvent() to be
applied to the wrong thread and fail.
So, rather than re-writing the thread id in current_event, use the thread
id by returning it.
With this patch applied this test now yields the expected result:

[hangs]
This is due to a defect in the way Cygwin signals are handled: When
handle_output_debug_string processes a Cygwin signal message, it re-writes
current_event.dwThreadId to reflect the thread that the signal will be delivered
to.
Subsequently, the call to ContinueDebugEvent will fail, because we're trying to
resume the wrong thread. GDB is then stuck waiting forever for another event
that will never come.
This patch doesn't fix the problem, it just adds appropriate error handling.
Using error() seems appropriate here, if ContinueDebugEvent() fails, the
inferior is in an unknown state and we will probably not be debugging it
anymore.
With this patch applied, resuming the execution of the program now yields:

Problem reported as PR pascal/17815
Part 1/3: Remember the case pattern that allowed finding a field of this.
File gdb/p-exp.y modified
This is the fix in the pascal parser (p-exp.y),
to avoid the error that GDB does find normal variables
case insensitively, but not fields of this,
inside a class or object method.
Part 2/3: Add "class" option for pascal compiler
File gdb/testsuite/lib/pascal.exp
This part of the patch series is unchanged.
It adds class option to pascal compiler
which adds the required command line option to
accept pascal class types.

This commit fixes three gdb.base/attach.exp failures when using

to handle.

This patch is to cherry-pick part of Pedro's patch here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00527.html in which
zero is returned if the HW point isn't supported.
In arm-linux native gdb testing on a board doesn't support HW breakpoint,
without this patch, the output in gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp is like:
(gdb) hbreak *0x83bc^M
Hardware breakpoints used exceeds limit.^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: probe hbreak support (support)
with this patch, the output becomes:
(gdb) hbreak *0x83bc^M
No hardware breakpoint support in the target.^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: probe hbreak support (no support)
As a result, the following fails are fixed.
-FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: always-inserted off: auto-hw on: step in ro region (cannot insert hw break)

This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately.
With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.
bash$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...
One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
the main executable if no main executable is open already.
All callers updated.
* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.

qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote
protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that
was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for
this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is
implemented using it.

This commit updates exec_file_locate_attach to use exec_file_find
to compute the full pathname of the main executable in some cases.
The net effect of this is that the main executable's path will be
prefixed with gdb_sysroot in the same way that shared library paths
currently are.
gdb/ChangeLog:

paths with gdb_sysroot if set.
* NEWS: Mention that executable paths may be prepended
with sysroot.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (set sysroot): Document that "set sysroot" also
applies to executable paths if supplied to GDB as absolute.
This commit adds a new function, exec_file_find, which computes the
full pathname of the main executable in much the same way solib_find
does for pathnames of shared libraries. The bulk of the existing
solib_find was moved into a new static function solib_find_1, with
exec_file_find and solib_find being small wrappers for solib_find_1.

This commit adds a new function, exec_file_locate_attach, which works
like exec_file_attach except that, instead of a filename argument, it
takes an integer process ID and attempts to determine the executable
filename from that.

These tests do something like this:

#1 - setup some things in the debug session
#2 - disconnect from gdbserver
#3 - restart gdb
#4 - reconnect to gdbserver
The problem is that the native-extended-gdbserver board always spawns
a new gdbserver instance in #3 (and has gdb connect to that). So when
the test gets to #4, it connects to that new instance instead of the
old one:

On s390x targets some of the Go test cases fail because the first

main.main. When such a test case tries to continue to the first
breakpoint, the program runs until the end instead, and the test fails
like this:

This patch removes all the handling related to the first breakpoint in
those cases. After applying the patch, the tests run successfully on
s390x.

This patch is to replace 4 with dsc->insn_size.
gdb:
2015-04-15 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_linux_cleanup_svc): Use
dsc->insn_size instead of 4.
I see many fails in gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp on arm-linux target,
started from this
print foo.three_ptr.all^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x107c8^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: print foo.three_ptr.all
print foo.three_ptr.all(1)^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x107c8
It turns out that ":$ptr_size" is used incorrectly.
array_ptr_label: DW_TAG_pointer_type {
{DW_AT_byte_size :$ptr_size }
^^^^^^^^^^
{DW_AT_type :$array_label}
}
Since the FORM isn't given, and it starts with the ":", it is regarded
as a label reference by dwarf assembler. The generated asm file on
x86_64 is
.uleb128 6 /* Abbrev (DW_TAG_pointer_type) */
.4byte 8 - .Lcu1_begin <----- WRONG
.4byte .Llabel2 - .Lcu1_begin
Looks .Lcu1_begin is 0 on x86_64 and that is why this test passes on
x86_64. On arm, .Lcu1_begin is an address somewhere, and the value
of DW_AT_byte_size is a very large number, so memory read request
of such large length failed.
This patch is to remove ":" and set the form explicitly. The generated
asm file on x86_64 becomes
.uleb128 6 /* Abbrev (DW_TAG_pointer_type) */
.byte 8
.4byte .Llabel2 - .Lcu1_begin

2015-04-15 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp (assemble): Use $ptr_size instead
of ":$ptr_size" and set its form explicitly.
I see the following two timeout fails on pandaboard (arm-linux target),
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: -location watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: regular watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
In this test, more than one watchpoint is used, so the following
watchpoint requests fall back to software watchpoint, so that GDB
will single step all the way and it is very slow.
This patch is to copy the fix from
[PATCH] GDB/testsuite: Correct gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp timeout tweak
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00716.html
I find the left-over of this patch review is to factor out code into
a procedure, so I do that in this patch.
Re-run tests watch-bitfields.exp, watchpoint-solib.exp, sigall-reverse.exp,
and until-precsave.exp on pandaboard, no regression.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-04-14 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp (test): Reinstate correct test message.
GDB has five places where it pretends to stat for bfd_openr_iovec.
Four of these only set the incoming buffer's st_size, leaving the
other fields unchanged, which is to say very likely populated with
random values from the stack. remote_bfd_iovec_stat was fixed in
0a93529c56714b1da3d7106d3e0300764f8bb81c; this commit fixes the
other four.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* jit.c (mem_bfd_iovec_stat): Zero supplied buffer.
* minidebug.c (lzma_stat): Likewise.
* solib-spu.c (spu_bfd_iovec_stat): Likewise.
* spu-linux-nat.c (spu_bfd_iovec_stat): Likewise.
Recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes in FreeBSD process cores. Recent
FreeBSD versions include a note containing the XSAVE state for each
thread in the process when XSAVE is in use. The note stores a copy of
the current XSAVE mask in a reserved section of the machine-defined
XSAVE state at the same offset as Linux's NT_X86_XSTATE note.
For native processes, use the PT_GETXSTATE_INFO ptrace request to
determine if XSAVE is enabled, and if so the active XSAVE state mask
(that is, the value of %xcr0 for the target process) as well as the
size of XSAVE state area. Use the PT_GETXSTATE and PT_SETXSTATE requests
to fetch and store the XSAVE state, respectively, in the BSD x86
native targets.
In addition, the FreeBSD amd64 and i386 native targets now include
"read_description" target methods to determine the correct x86 target
description for the current XSAVE mask. On FreeBSD amd64 this also
properly returns an i386 target description for 32-bit binaries which
allows the 64-bit GDB to run 32-bit binaries.
Note that the ptrace changes are in the BSD native targets, not the
FreeBSD-specific native targets since that is where the other ptrace
register accesses occur. Of the other BSDs, NetBSD and DragonFly use
XSAVE in the kernel but do not currently export the extended state via
ptrace(2). OpenBSD does not currently support XSAVE.

This testcase does not work as expected in QEMU (aarch64 QEMU in my case). It
fails when trying to manually write the breakpoint instruction to a certain
PC address.

The following patch prevents a number of failures by detecting this and bailing out in case the target has such a restriction. Writing to .text from within the program isn't any better. It just leads to a SIGSEGV.
