With the kernle fix <http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/356511.html>,
aarch64 GDB is able to read the base of thread area of 32-bit arm
program through NT_ARM_TLS.
This patch is to teach both GDB and GDBserver to read the base of
thread area correctly in the multi-arch case. A new function
aarch64_ps_get_thread_area is added, and is shared between GDB and
GDBserver.
With this patch applied, the following fails in multi-arch testing
(GDB is aarch64 but the test cases are arm) are fixed,
-FAIL: gdb.threads/tls-nodebug.exp: thread local storage
-FAIL: gdb.threads/tls-shared.exp: print thread local storage variable

In all-stop mode, record btrace maintains the old behaviour of an implicit
scheduler-locking on.
Now that we added a scheduler-locking mode to model this old behaviour, we
don't need the respective code in record btrace anymore. Remove it.
For all-stop targets, step inferior_ptid and continue other threads matching
the argument ptid. Assert that inferior_ptid matches the argument ptid.
This should make record btrace honour scheduler-locking.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_resume): Honour scheduler-locking.
testsuite/
* gdb.btrace/multi-thread-step.exp: Test scheduler-locking on, step,
and replay.
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.

The record btrace target does not allow accessing memory and storing registers
while replaying. For multi-threaded applications, this prevents those
accesses also for threads that are at the end of their execution history as
long as at least one thread is replaying.
Change this to only check if the selected thread is replaying. This allows
threads that are at the end of their execution history to read and write
memory and to store registers.
Also change the error message to reflect this change.

(record_btrace_store_registers): Change error message.
The to_record_is_replaying target method is used to query record targets if
they are replaying. This is currently interpreted as "is any thread being
replayed".
Add a PTID argument and change the interpretation to "is any thread matching
PTID being replayed".
Change all users to pass minus_one_ptid to preserve the old meaning.
The record full target does not really support multi-threading and ignores
the PTID argument.

A thread that runs out of its execution history is stopped. We already set
stop_pc and call stop_waiting. But we do not switch to the stopped thread.
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.
Switch to the eventing thread for NO_HISTORY events as preparation to support
non-stop for the record btrace target.
gdb/
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): Switch to the eventing thread
in the TARKET_WAITKIND_NO_HISTORY case.
The record btrace target runs synchronous with GDB. That is, GDB steps
resumed threads in record btrace's to_wait method. Without GDB calling
to_wait, nothing happens 'on the target'.
Check for further expected events in to_wait before reporting the current
event and mark record btrace's async event handler in async mode.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_maybe_mark_async_event): New.
(record_btrace_wait): Call record_btrace_maybe_mark_async_event.
Get_current_frame uses inferior_ptid. In record_btrace_start_replaying,
we need to get the current frame of the argument thread. So far, this
has always been inferior_ptid. With non-stop, this is not guaranteed.
Temporarily set inferior_ptid to the ptid of the argument thread.
We already temporarily set the argument thread's executing flag to false.
Move both into a new function get_thread_current_frame that does the temporary
adjustments, calls get_current_frame, and restores the previous values.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (get_thread_current_frame): New.
(record_btrace_start_replaying): Call get_thread_current_frame.
The record targets are implicitly schedlocked. They only step the current
thread and keep other threads where they are.
Change record btrace to step all requested threads in to_resume.
For maintenance and debugging, we keep the old behaviour when the target below
is not non-stop. Enable with "maint set target-non-stop on".
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_resume_thread): A move request
overwrites a previous move request.
(record_btrace_find_resume_thread): Removed.
(record_btrace_resume): Resume all requested threads.
Record btrace's to_wait method picks a single thread to step. When passed
minus_one_ptid, it picks the current thread. All other threads remain where
they are.
Change this to step all resumed threads together, one step at a time, until
the first thread reports an event.
We do delay reporting NO_HISTORY events until there are no other events to
report to prevent threads at the end of their execution history from starving
other threads.
We keep threads at the end of their execution history moving and replaying
until we announce their stop in to_wait. This shouldn't really be user-visible
but its a detail worth mentioning.
Since record btrace's to_resume method also picks only a single thread to
resume, there shouldn't be a difference with the current all-stop.
With non-stop or all-stop on top of non-stop, we will see differences. The
behaviour should be more natural as we're moving all threads.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c: Include vec.h.
(record_btrace_find_thread_to_move): Removed.
(btrace_step_no_resumed, btrace_step_again)

(record_btrace_wait): Call record_btrace_step_thread for all threads
until one reports an event. Call record_btrace_stop_replaying_at_end
for the eventing thread.
If a single-step ended right at the end of the execution history, we forgot
to announce that. Fix it.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_single_step_forward): Return
NO_HISTORY if a step brings us to the end of the execution history.
Breakpoints are only checked for BTHR_CONT and BTHR_RCONT stepping requests.
A BTHR_STEP and BTHR_RSTEP request will always report stopped without reason.
Since breakpoints are reported correctly, I assume infrun is handling this.
Move the breakpoint check into the btrace single stepping functions. This
will cause us to report breakpoint hits now also for single-step requests.
One thing to notice is that
- when executing forwards, the breakpoint is checked before 'executing'
the instruction, i.e. before moving the PC to the next instruction.
- when executing backwards, the breakpoint is checked after 'executing'
the instruction, i.e. after moving the PC to the preceding instruction
in the recorded execution.
There is code in infrun (see, for example proceed and adjust_pc_after_break)
that handles this and also depends on this behaviour.
gdb/
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_step_thread): Move breakpoint check
to ...
(record_btrace_single_step_forward): ... here and
(record_btrace_single_step_backward): ... here.
The code for BTHR_STEP and BTHR_CONT is fairly similar. Extract the common
parts into a new function record_btrace_single_step_forward. The function
returns TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to indicate that the single-step completed
without triggering a trap.
Same for BTHR_RSTEP and BTHR_RCONT.

There are two places where record_btrace_step_thread checks for a breakpoint
at the current replay position. Move this code into its own function.

The record btrace target stops other threads in non-stop mode after stepping

The check is done on the non_stop variable. It should rather be done on
target_is_non_stop_p (). With all-stop on top of non-stop, infrun will
take care of stopping other threads.

On software single-step targets that don't support displaced stepping,
threads keep hitting each other's single-step breakpoints, and then
GDB needs to pause all threads to step past those. The end result is
that progress in the main thread will be slower and it may take a bit
longer for the signal to be queued. This patch bumps the timeout on
such targets.

This change is relevant only for standard DWARF (as opposed to the GNAT
encodings extensions): at the time of writing it only makes a difference
with GCC patches that are to be integrated: see the patch series
submission at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg01353.html>.
Given the following Ada declarations:
subtype Small_Int is Natural range 0 .. 100;
type R_Type (L : Small_Int := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. L);
end record;
type A_Type is array (Natural range <>) of R_Type;
A : A_Type := (1 => (L => 0, S => ""),
2 => (L => 2, S => "ab"));
Before this change, we would get the following GDB session:
(gdb) ptype a
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo.r_type <packed: 838-bit elements>
This is wrong: "a" is not a packed array. This output comes from the
fact that, because R_Type has a dynamic size (with a maximum), the
compiler has to describe in the debugging information the size allocated
for each array element (i.e. the stride, in DWARF parlance: see
DW_AT_byte_stride). Ada type printing currently assumes that arrays
with a stride are packed, hence the above output.
In practice, GNAT never performs bit-packing for arrays that contain
variable-sized elements. Leveraging this fact, this patch enhances type
printing so that ptype does not pretend that arrays are packed when they
have a stride and they contain dynamic elements. After this change, we
get the following expected output:
(gdb) ptype a
type = array (1 .. 2) of foo.r_type

This is not non-stop-mode-specific, however. Consider e.g., that in
all-stop, you may be debugging more than one process at the same time.
You continue, and both processes vfork. So when you next get a
T05vforkdone, there's no way to tell which of the parent processes is
done with the vfork.
Tests will be added later.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

The problem is that the gdb_test_multiple is missing the prompt
anchor. The problem was introduced by 2fd33e9448. This reverts the
hunk that introduced the problem, reverting back to
gdb_continue_to_breakpoint.

Nowadays, GDB only knows whether architecture supports hardware single
step or software single step (through gdbarch hook software_single_step),
and for a given instruction or instruction sequence, GDB knows how to
do single step (hardware or software). However, GDB doesn't know whether
the target supports hardware single step. It is possible that the
architecture doesn't support hardware single step, such as arm, but
the target supports, such as simulator. This was discussed in this
thread https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-12/msg00033.html before.
I encounter this problem for aarch64 multi-arch support. When aarch64
debugs arm program, gdbarch is arm, so software single step is still
used. However, the underneath linux kernel does support hardware
single step, so IWBN to use it.
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook to_can_do_single_step, and
only use it in arm_linux_software_single_step to decide whether or not
to use hardware single step. On the native aarch64 linux target, 1 is
returned. On other targets, -1 is returned. On the remote target, if
the target supports s and S actions in the vCont? reply, then target
can do single step. However, old GDBserver will send s and S in the
reply to vCont?, which will confuse new GDB. For example, old GDBserver
on arm-linux will send s and S in the reply to vCont?, but it doesn't
support hardware single step. On the other hand, new GDBserver, on
arm-linux for example, will not send s and S in the reply to vCont?,
but old GDB thinks it doesn't support vCont packet at all. In order
to address this problem, I add a new qSupported feature vContSupported,
which indicates GDB wants to know the supported actions in the reply
to vCont?, and qSupported response contains vContSupported if the
stub is able tell supported vCont actions in the reply of vCont?.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
then, GDB knows the stub can do single step, and may stop using software
single step even the architecture doesn't support hardware single step.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on arm, the last vCont?
reply will become:
<- vCont;c;C;t
GDB thinks the target doesn't support single step, so it will use software
single step.
If the patched GDB talks with unpatched GDBserver, the RSP traffic is like
this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
although GDBserver returns s and S, GDB still thinks GDBserver may not
support single step because it doesn't support vContSupported.
If the unpatched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like:
-> $qSupported:...+;
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
Since GDB doesn't sent vContSupported in the qSupported feature, GDBserver
sends s and S regardless of the support of hardware single step.
