3cecbbbef1 make "set debug target" take effect immediately
Right now, "set debug target" acts a bit strangely.

Most target APIs only notice that it has changed when the target stack
is changed in some way.  This is because many methods implement the
setting using the special debug target.  However, a few spots do
change their behavior immediately -- any place explicitly checking
"targetdebug".

Some of this peculiar behavior is documented.  However, I think that
it just isn't very useful for it to work this way.  So, this patch
changes "set debug target" to take effect immediately in all cases.
This is done by simply calling update_current_target when the setting
is changed.

This required one small change in the test suite.  Here a test was
expecting the current behavior.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

90debf20f4 [gdb/doc] Add target triplet to man files
After applying hash 43662968, gdb.1 and other man pages are not added
target triplet even if we configure with --target=.

It causes conflicts on some distributions.
And uninstall rules requires $(transform) variable.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* Makefile.in (transform): New variable.
	(install-man1, install-man5): Apply $(transform) to man file names.

Tested by installing both native and cross debugger.

705096250d Always pass signals to the right thread
Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several
different but related scenarios.

E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread
2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread
2, not thread 1.  This obviously messes up programs that use
pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads.

This has been a known issue for a long while.  Back in 2008 when I
made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see
code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later.
The time has finally come now.

The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always
delivered to the thread that had intercepted them.

Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches
to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually
delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches
to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint...  If the user deletes the
breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered
to thread 2 (the current thread).

"signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the
program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing
"handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had
stopped for.  These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin,
and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do.  GDB might
have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new
signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test).  At least in the
inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver
the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the
command's behavior consistent and easy to explain.

Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program
had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had
changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with:

  (gdb) continue
  Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO.
  (gdb) thread 2
  (gdb) signal SIGBAR

... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2
(with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then
"signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads).

So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation:

  (gdb) thread 1
  [Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)]
  (gdb) signal SIGUSR2
  Note:
    Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2.
    Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
  Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will
  still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads.
  Continue anyway? (y or n)

All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

164224e96c Fix for remote G Packet message too long error for baremetal.
Prior to version MicroBlaze v8.10.a,EDK 13.1, XMD's gdbserver stub returned 57
registers in response to GDB's G request. Starting with version MicroBlaze
v8.10.a, EDK 13.1, XMD added the slr and shr register, for a count of 59
registers. This patch adds these registers to the expected G response. This patch
fixes the above problem for baremetal and also supports the backward compatibility.

b67a2c6fd4 Associate dummy_frame with ptid
This patch is to add ptid into dummy_frame and extend frame_id to
dummy_frame_id (which has a ptid field).  With this change, GDB uses
dummy_frame_id (thread ptid and frame_id) to find the dummy frames.

Currently, dummy frames are looked up by frame_id, which isn't
accurate in non-stop or multi-process mode.  The test case
gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp shows the problem and this patch can
fix it.

Test dummy-frame-restore.exp makes two inferiors stop at
different functions, say, inferior 1 stops at f1 while inferior 2
stops at f2.  Set a breakpoint to a function, do the inferior call
in two inferiors, and GDB has two dummy frames of the same frame_id.
When the inferior call is finished, GDB will look up a dummy frame
from its stack/list and restore the inferior's regcache.  Two
inferiors are finished in different orders, the inferiors' states are
restored differently, which is wrong.  Running dummy-frame-restore.exp
under un-patched GDB, we'll get two fails:

FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 2
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 1

With this patch applied, GDB will choose the correct dummy_frame to
restore for a given inferior, because ptid is considered when looking up
dummy frames.  Two fails above are fixed.

Regression tested on x86_64-linux, both native and gdbserver.

992c7d700f Demangler crash handler
This commit wraps calls to the demangler with a segmentation fault
handler.  The first time a segmentation fault is caught a core file
is generated and the user is prompted to file a bug and offered the
choice to exit or to continue their GDB session.  A maintainence
option is provided to allow the user to disable the crash handler
if required.

53e8a631a0 Add a TRY_CATCH to get_prev_frame_always to better manage errors during unwind.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-05/msg00737.html

Currently a MEMORY_ERROR raised during unwinding a frame will cause the
unwind to stop with an error message, for example:

  (gdb) bt
  #0  breakpt () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:27
  #1  0x00000000004008f0 in func5 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:32
  #2  0x0000000000400900 in func4 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:38
  #3  0x0000000000400910 in func3 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:44
  #4  0x0000000000400928 in func2 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:50
  Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000

However, frame #4 is marked as being the end of the stack unwind, so a
subsequent request for the backtrace looses the error message, such as:

  (gdb) bt
  #0  breakpt () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:27
  #1  0x00000000004008f0 in func5 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:32
  #2  0x0000000000400900 in func4 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:38
  #3  0x0000000000400910 in func3 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:44
  #4  0x0000000000400928 in func2 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:50

When fetching the backtrace, or requesting the stack depth using the MI
interface the situation is even worse, the first time a request is made
we encounter the memory error and so the MI returns an error instead of
the correct result, for example:

  (gdb) -stack-info-depth
  ^error,msg="Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000"

Or,

  (gdb) -stack-list-frames
  ^error,msg="Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000"

However, once one of these commands has been used gdb has, internally,
walked the stack and figured that out that frame #4 is the bottom of the
stack, so the second time an MI command is tried you'll get the "expected"
result:

  (gdb) -stack-info-depth
  ^done,depth="5"

Or,

  (gdb) -stack-list-frames
  ^done,stack=[frame={level="0", .. snip lots .. }]

After this patch the MEMORY_ERROR encountered during the frame unwind is
attached to frame #4 as the stop reason, and is displayed in the CLI each
time the backtrace is requested.  In the MI, catching the error means that
the "expected" result is returned the first time the MI command is issued.
So, from the CLI the results of the backtrace will be:

  (gdb) bt
  #0  breakpt () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:27
  #1  0x00000000004008f0 in func5 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:32
  #2  0x0000000000400900 in func4 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:38
  #3  0x0000000000400910 in func3 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:44
  #4  0x0000000000400928 in func2 () at amd64-invalid-stack-middle.c:50
  Backtrace stopped: Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaab0000

Each and every time that the backtrace is requested, while the MI output
will similarly be consistently:

  (gdb) -stack-info-depth
  ^done,depth="5"

Or,

  (gdb) -stack-list-frames
  ^done,stack=[frame={level="0", .. snip lots .. }]

329ea57934 enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.

However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async".  Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.

So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends.  Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.

Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.

Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async.  This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.

Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter.  The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets.  This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.

I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything.  It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.

Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests.  MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

92bcb5f949 Make display_gdb_prompt CLI-only.
Enabling target-async by default will require implementing sync
execution on top of an async target, much like foreground command are
implemented on the CLI in async mode.

In order to do that, we will need better control of when to print the
MI prompt.  Currently the interp->display_prompt_p hook is all we
have, and MI just always returns false, meaning, make
display_gdb_prompt a no-op.  We'll need to be able to know to print
the MI prompt in some of the conditions that display_gdb_prompt is
called from the core, but not all.

This is all a litte twisted currently.  As we can see,
display_gdb_prompt is really CLI specific, so make the console
interpreters (console/tui) themselves call it.  To be able to do that,
and add a few different observers that the interpreters can use to
distinguish when or why the the prompt is being printed:

#1 - one called whenever a command is cancelled due to an error.
#2 - another for when a foreground command just finished.

In both cases, CLI wants to print the prompt, while MI doesn't.

MI will want to print the prompt in the second case when in a special
MI mode.

The display_gdb_prompt call in interp_set made me pause.  The comment
there reads:

  /* Finally, put up the new prompt to show that we are indeed here.
     Also, display_gdb_prompt for the console does some readline magic
     which is needed for the console interpreter, at least...  */

But, that looks very much like a no-op to me currently:

 - the MI interpreter always return false in the prompt hook, meaning
   actually display no prompt.

 - the interpreter used at that point is still quiet.  And the
   console/tui interpreters return false in the prompt hook if they're
   quiet, meaning actually display no prompt.

The only remaining possible use would then be the readline magic.  But
whatever that might have been, it's not reacheable today either,
because display_gdb_prompt returns early, before touching readline if
the interpreter returns false in the display_prompt_p hook.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, sync and async modes.

fd664c9176 PR gdb/13860 - Make MI sync vs async output (closer to) the same.
Ignoring expected and desired differences like whether the prompt is
output after *stoppped records, GDB MI output is still different in
sync and async modes.

In sync mode, when a CLI execution command is entered, the "reason"
field is missing in the *stopped async record.  And in async mode, for
some events, like program exits, the corresponding CLI output is
missing in the CLI channel.

Vis, diff between sync vs async modes:

   run
   ^running
   *running,thread-id="1"
   (gdb)
   ...
 - ~"[Inferior 1 (process 15882) exited normally]\n"
   =thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
   =thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
 - *stopped
 + *stopped,reason="exited-normally"

   si
   ...
   (gdb)
   ~"0x000000000045e033\t29\t  memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);\n"
 - *stopped,frame=...,thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
 + *stopped,reason="end-stepping-range",frame=...,thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="0"
   (gdb)

In addition, in both cases, when a MI execution command is entered,
and a breakpoint triggers, the event is sent to the console too.  But
some events like program exits have the CLI output missing in the CLI
channel:

   -exec-run
   ^running
   *running,thread-id="1"
   (gdb)
   ...
   =thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1"
   =thread-group-exited,id="i1",exit-code="0"
 - *stopped
 + *stopped,reason="exited-normally"

We'll want to make background commands always possible by default.
IOW, make target-async be the default.  But, in order to do that,
we'll need to emulate MI sync on top of an async target.  That means
we'll have yet another combination to care for in the testsuite.

Rather than making the testsuite cope with all these differences, I
thought it better to just fix GDB to always have the complete output,
no matter whether it's in sync or async mode.

This is all related to interpreter-exec, and the corresponding uiout
switching.  (Typing a CLI command directly in MI is shorthand for
running it through -interpreter-exec console.)

In sync mode, when a CLI command is active, normal_stop is called when
the current interpreter and uiout are CLI's.  So print_XXX_reason
prints the stop reason to CLI uiout (only), and we don't show it in
MI.

In async mode the stop event is processed when we're back in the MI
interpreter, so the stop reason is printed directly to the MI uiout.

Fix this by making run control event printing roughly independent of
whatever is the current interpreter or uiout.  That is, move these
prints to interpreter observers, that know whether to print or be
quiet, and if printing, which uiout to print to.  In the case of the
console/tui interpreters, only print if the top interpreter.  For MI,
always print.

Breakpoint hits / normal stops are already handled similarly -- MI has
a normal_stop observer that prints the event to both MI and the CLI,
though that could be cleaned up further in the direction of this
patch.

This also makes all of:

 (gdb) foo
and
 (gdb) interpreter-exec MI "-exec-foo"
and
 (gdb)
 -exec-foo
and
 (gdb)
 -interpreter-exec console "foo"

print as expected.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, sync and async modes.

67b5c0c1a4 btrace: control memory access during replay
The btrace record target does not trace data.  We therefore do not allow
accessing read-write memory during replay.

In some cases, this might be useful to advanced users, though, who we assume
to know what they are doing.

Add a set|show command pair to turn this memory access restriction off.

6a3cb8e88a Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target.  E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run".  That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended.  Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.

With the patch, we now can have this instead:

 (gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
 (gdb) target extended-remote :9999
 ...
 *gdb disconnects*
 (gdb) run
 Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".

To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.

Before:

 (gdb) target native
 Use the "run" command to start a native process.

After:

 (gdb) target native
 Done.  Use the "run" command to start a process.
 (gdb) maint print target-stack
 The current target stack is:
   - native (Native process)
   - exec (Local exec file)
   - None (None)
 (gdb) run
 Starting program: ./a.out
 ...

I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode).  With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target.  Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:

 (gdb) break main
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
 (gdb) run
 Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core

On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before.  This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged.  The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:

 have_inferiors (void)
 {
   for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
     if (inf->pid != 0)
       return 1;

It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check.  To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.

Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.

Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.

Untested otherwise.

936d299246 Make compare-sections work against all targets; add compare-sections [-r] tests.
This does two things:

1. Adds a test.

Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition.  This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.

2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.

Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet.  The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself.  This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO.  While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program.  That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that.  This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.

I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver.  I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

f989a1c8ec rename "set debugvarobj" to "set debug varobj"
I think "set debugvarobj" has the wrong name.
It ought to be "set debug varobj", like gdb's other debug settings.

This patch makes the change.

I chose not to install deprecated aliases, since this is only a debug
setting; but if someone feels strongly about it I will add them.

95cf3b38cd compare-sections: New -r option.
When connecting to a remote system, we use the compare-sections
command to verify that the box is running the code that we think it is
running.  Since the system is up and running and *NOT* 'freshly
downloaded without yet executing anything', read-write sections, of
course, differ from what they were in the executable file.

Comparing read-write sections takes time and more importantly the
MIS-MATCHED output is confusing to some users.

The compare-sections command compares all loadable sections including
read-write sections.  This patch gives the user the option to compare
just the loadable read-only sections.

01f9f808e2 Add AVX512 registers support to GDB and GDBserver.
This patch adds support for the Intel(R) Advanced Vector
Extensions 512 (Intel(R) AVX-512) registers.  Native and remote
debugging are covered by this patch.

Intel(R) AVX-512 is an extension to AVX to support 512-bit wide
SIMD registers in 64-bit mode (XMM0-XMM31, YMM0-YMM31, ZMM0-ZMM31).
The number of available registers in 32-bit mode is still 8
(XMM0-7, YMM0-7, ZMM0-7).  The lower 256-bits of the ZMM registers
are aliased to the respective 256-bit YMM registers.  The lower
128-bits are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers.

There are also 8 new, dedicated mask registers (K0-K7) in both 32-bit
mode and 64-bit mode.

9506028490 Deprecate windows-specific dll-symbols command and aliases
The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:

    (gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
    (gdb) info shared
    From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
    [...]
    0x77e51000  0x77ee2554  No          C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll

(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").

As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.

But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.

Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:

    (gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
    Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
    Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
    (gdb) info shared
    From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
    [...]
    0x77e51000  0x77ee2554  Yes (*)     C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll

This patch therefore deprecates the "dll-symbols" command, as well
as its two aliases "add-shared-symbol-files" and "assf", with a view
of deleting them as soon as the 7.8 branch gets cut.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* windows-nat.c (_initialize_windows_nat): Deprecate the
	"dll-symbols" command.  Turn the "add-shared-symbol-files"
	and "assf" aliases into commands, and deprecate them as well.
	* NEWS: Add entry explaining that "dll-symbols" and its two
	aliases are now deprecated.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.texinfo (Files): Document "add-shared-symbol-files"
        and "assf" as being deprecated.
        (Cygwin Native): Likewise for "dll-symbols".
        (Non-debug DLL Symbols): Remove reference to "dll-symbols"
        as a way to force the loading of symbols from a DLL.
