When trying to evaluate an expression which adds a pointer and
an integral, the evaluation succeeds if the pointer is on
the left handside of the operator, but not when it is on the right
handside:
(gdb) p something'address + 0
$1 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 + something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Same issue when doing subtractions:
(gdb) p something'address - 0
$2 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 - something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.

This patch is a response to what I commented on:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00046.html>
When reviewing Jose's USDT probe support patches. Basically, in his
patch he had to create dummy functions for the set_semaphore and the
clear_semaphore methods of probe_ops (gdb/probe.h), because those
functions were called inconditionally from inside gdb/breakpoint.c and
gdb/tracepoint.c. However, the semaphore concept may not apply to all
types of probes, and this is the case here: USDT probes do not have
semaphores (although SDT probes do).
Anyway, this is a simple (almost obvious) patch to guard the call to
{set,clear}_semaphore. It does not introduce any regression on a
Fedora 20 x86_64.
I will apply it in a few days in case there is no comment.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2014-10-14 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (bkpt_probe_insert_location): Call set_semaphore

Joel contacted me offlist with a question about a warning that one of
his customers was seeing. The message came from the new
linker-debugger interface, which uses SDT probes internally. The
warning said:
(gdb) run
[...]
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This should not have happened in the environment the customer was
using (RHEL-6.x), so I found it strange. Another thing caught my
attention: the last message, saying "Argument to arithmetic operation
not a number or boolean.".
Joel kindly investigated the issue further, and found the answer for
this. To quote him:
(gdb) set lang c
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
$4 = (void *) 0xffffd0f8
So far so good. But...
(gdb) set lang ada
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Ooops! Interestingly, if you revert the order of the operands...
(gdb) p $ebp+48
$5 = (access void) 0xffffd0f8
So the problem is doing pointer arithmetics when the language is set
to Ada.
I remembered that, during the parsing and the evaluation of SDT probe
arguments, the code sets the language as current_language, because, at
that time, I thought it was not necessary to worry about the language
given that the code implements its own parser. I was wrong. So here
is a patch to fix that, by setting the language as C, which should
guarantee that the maths are done in the right way (TM).
It was somewhat hard to find a reproducer for this issue. In the end,
what I had to do was to create a testcase that used the %ebp register
on some displacement (e.g., "-4(%ebp)"), which finally triggered the
bug. I am not sure why I could not trigger it when using other
registers, but I did not want to spend too much time investigating
this issue, which seemed like an Ada issue. Also, because of this
peculiar way to trigger the problem, the testcase only covers x86-like
targets (i.e., i*86 and x86_64 with -m32).
Joel kindly tested this for me, and it worked. I also ran a full
regression test here on my Fedora 20 x86_64, and everything is fine.
I will push this patch in a few days if there are no comments.

In the test, "0x0" is expected, but "0x0 <_ftext>" is in the output.
Function pointers point to address zero, and tests assume there is no
symbol on address zero. However, on my arm-none-eabi target, there is
a code symbol _ftext on address zero, and test fails. Note that "set
print symbol off" doesn't take effect for function pointer.

f = main;

$1 = (int (*)(void)) 0x8048400 <main>

In order to erase the difference, we can assign some function address
explicitly to function pointer, so the test behaves in a unique way.
In this patch, we assign nothing1 and nothing2 to function pointers
func_ptr_struct and func_ptr_ptr respectively, and update test as the

by Yao Qi:
In this test case, ( \\((host|target) evals\\))? isn't needed in the
pattern. What we test here is to save breakpoints into file and restore
them from file. The contents saved in file are:
break save-bp.c:31
condition $bpnum i == 1
the information about the place where the condition is evaluated isn't
saved, so we don't need to check. Breakpoint save and restore has
nothing to do with where the condition is evaluated (host or target). I
am fine to leave it here now.

qTStatus is disabled after receiving the empty reply during connecting

Hi,
We see the following fail in the real remote testing...

The test tries to kill gdbserver in this way:
set server_pid [exp_pid -i [board_info target fileid]]
remote_exec target "kill -9 $server_pid"
in native testing, we'll get the pid of spawned gdbserver, however, in
remote testing, we'll get the pid of ssh session, since we start
gdbserver on the remote target through ssh. The pid on build doesn't
exist on target.
In this patch, we tweak server-kill.c to get the parent pid, which is
the pid of GDBserver. GDB gets it and kill GDBserver on target.

However, in the version 2

mentioning IRIX ABIs may still be relevant and I wouldn't know what to
do with them. in That can always be done on a separate pass,
preferably by someone who can test on MIPS.
I didn't remove a reference to IRIX in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

We're now doing a vsyscall/vDSO address range lookup whenever we fetch
shared libraries, either through an explicit "info shared", or when
the target reports new libraries have been loaded, in order to filter
out the vDSO from glibc's DSO list. Before we started doing that, GDB
would only ever lookup the vsyscall's address range once in the
process's lifetime.
Looking up the vDSO address range requires an auxv lookup (which is
already cached, so no problem), but also reading the process's
mappings from /proc to find out the vDSO's mapping's size. That
generates extra RSP traffic when remote debugging. Particularly
annoying when the process's mappings grow linearly as more libraries
are mapped in, and we went through the trouble of making incremental
DSO list updates work against gdbserver (when the probes-based dynamic
linker interface is available).
The vsyscall/vDSO is mapped by the kernel when the process is
initially mapped in, and doesn't change throughout the process's
lifetime, so we can cache its address range.
Caching at this level brings GDB back to one and only one vsyscall
address range lookup per process.

With upstream glibc, GDB prints:
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
A bug's been filed for glibc a few years back:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13097
but it's still not resolved. It's not clear whether there's even
consensus that this is indeed a glibc bug. It would actually be nice
if GDB also listed the vDSO in the shared library list, but there are
some design considerations with that:
- the vDSO is mapped by the kernel, not userspace, therefore we
should load its symbols right from the process's start of life,
even before glibc / the userspace loader sets up the initial DSO
list. The program might even be using a custom loader or no
loader.
- that kind of hints at that solib.c should handle retrieving shared
library lists from more than one source, and that symfile-mem.c's
loading of the vDSO would be converted to load and relocate the
vDSO's bfd behind the target_so_ops interface.
- and then, once glibc links in the vDSO to its DSO list, we'd need
to either:
a) somehow hand over the vDSO from one target_so_ops to the other
b) simply keep hiding glibc's entry.
And then b) seems the simplest.
With that in mind, this patch simply discards the vDSO from glibc's
reported shared library list.
We can match the vDSO address range with the addresses found iterating
the dynamic linker list, to tell which dynamic linker entry is the
vDSO.
