If multiprocess extensions are off (because specific gdbserver port
doesn't support them), then when gdbserver doesn't have a thread
selected yet, and GDB sends Hg packet to select one, gdbserver
crashes. That's because extracting the desired thread id out of the
packet that GDB sent depends on the current thread to fill in the
missing process id ... Fix this by getting the process id from the
first (and only) process in the processes list instead.
The GNU/Linux port doesn't trip on this because it always runs with
multiprocess extensions enabled. To make it easier to catch such
regressions going forward, this commit also adds a new smoke test that
spawns gdbserver, connects to it and runs to main with the
multiprocess extensions force-disabled.

After the last gnulib import (Dec 2012), gnulib upstream started
replacing mingw's 'struct timeval' with a version with 64-bit time_t,
for POSIX compliance:
commit f8e84098084b3b53bc6943a5542af1f607ffd477
Author: Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
Date: Sat Jan 28 18:12:10 2012 +0100
sys_time: Override 'struct timeval' on some native Windows platforms.
See:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00372.html
However, that results in conflicts with native Winsock2's 'select':
select()'s argument
http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/29610438/
... and libiberty's timeval-utils.h timeval_add/timeval_sub, at the
least.
We don't really need the POSIX compliance, so this patch prepares us
to simply not use gnulib's 'struct timeval' replacement once a more
recent gnulib is imported, thus preserving the current behavior, by
adding a sys/time.h wrapper header that undefs gnulib's replacements,
and including that everywhere instead.
The SIZE -> OSIZE change is necessary because newer gnulib's
sys/time.h also includes windows.h/winsock2.h, which defines a
conflicting SIZE symbol.
Cross build-tested mingw-w64 32-bit and 64-bit.
Regtested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

While doing some powerpc Linux tests on a ppc 476 board using GCC 5.2, i

They failed because the breakpoint supposedly inserted at bar was actually
inserted at noinline.
(gdb) break inline-markers.c:20^M
Breakpoint 2 at 0x1000079c: file gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-markers.c, line 20.^M
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
^M
Breakpoint 2, noinline () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.opt/inline-markers.c:35^M
35 inlined_fn (); /* inlined */^M
As we can see, line 20 is really inside bar, not noinline:
18 void bar(void)
19 {
20 x += y; /* set breakpoint 1 here */
21 }
Further investigation shows that this is really due to GCC 5's new
ICF pass (-fipa-icf), now enabled by default at -O2, which folds bar
and marker into noinline, where the call to inlined_fn was inlined.
This breaks the testcase since it expects to stop at specific spots.
I thought about two possible fixes for this issue.
- Disable the ICF pass manually when building the binary (-fno-ipa-icf).
This has the advantage of not having to touch the testcase sources themselves,
but the disadvantage of having to add conditional blocks to test the GCC
version. If we ever change GCC's default, we will have to adjust the
conditional block again to match GCC's behavior.
- Modify the testcase sources to make the identical functions unique.
This solution doesn't touch the testcase itself, but changes the source
code slightly in order to make bar, marker and inlined_fn unique. This
causes GCC's ICF pass to ignore these functions and not fold them into
a common identical function.
I'm good with either of them, but i'm more inclined to go with the second
one.
The attached patch implements this by adding the new global variable z, set
to 0, that gets added in different ways to marker and inlined_fn. Since it
is 0, it doesn't affect any possible value checks that we may wish to do
in the future (we currently only check for values changed by bar).
Ok?
ps: I also noticed GDB doesn't do a great job at stating that the breakpoint
was actually inserted at a different source line than previously requested,
so this sounds like a bug that should be fixed, if it is not just wrong
DWARF information (did not investigate it further).

Support for target dbug/picobug/dink32/m32r/mon2000/ppcbug was just
removed, but support for ARM RDI, Sparclet, Sparclite, Z8000, target

All of these targets use gdb/monitor.c, which has bit rotted
years ago (I'd guess around ~6), and nobody seems to
have noticed:

This avoids two more types of FAILs with the gnu_vector test case.
First, for POWER targets newer GCCs emit an ABI note when invoked with
"-mcpu=native". Then the test case fell back to non-native compile,
producing code for a non-vector ABI. But that is not supported by GDB.
Thus the compiler note is now suppressed with "-Wno-psabi".
Second, on s390 the test case produced FAILs after falling back to a
non-vector ABI when using "finish" or "return" in a vector-valued
function. This was due to a long-standing known bug (Bug 8549). This
case is now detected, and KFAILs are emitted instead.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gnu_vector.exp: Try compilation with "-mcpu=native
-Wno-psabi" if "-mcpu=native" fails. For the tests with "finish"
and "return" use KFAIL when GDB can not read/write the vector
return value.
(Commit d23d1dff missed pushing the config/iconv.m4 change, and to
regenerate binutils' configure.)
Original description:
This is the second in a series of patches to make a build with an
in-tree GNU libiconv work as designed.
Currently GDB is the only toolchain component which actually uses an
in-tree libiconv. This patch modifies the common AM_ICONV to use an
in-tree libiconv when present and not already provided by libc.
(GDB's workaround uses an in-tree libiconv even when libc provides
iconv(3); I'm not sure when or why that would be desirable.)

This patch fixes the following bug in TUI:
(gdb) break foo
No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) <ENTER>
By submitting an empty command line to a secondary prompt, the line
corresponding to the secondary prompt is undesirably cleared and
overwritten. Outside of a secondary prompt, clearing the prompt line
after submitting an empty command line is intended behavior which
complements GDB's repeat-command shorthand. But inside a secondary
prompt, this behavior is undesired since the shorthand is not applicable
in that case. We should retain the secondary-prompt line even when it's
given no input.
This patch makes sure that a prompt that was given an empty command line
is cleared and overwritten only if it's not a secondary prompt. To
acheive this, a new predicate is defined which informs us whether the
current input handler is a secondary prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.h (gdb_in_secondary_prompt_p): Declare.
* top.c (gdb_secondary_prompt_depth): Define.
(gdb_in_secondary_prompt_p): Define.
(gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup): Decrement
gdb_secondary_prompt_depth.
(gdb_readline_wrapper): Increment gdb_secondary_prompt_depth.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Don't clear the prompt line if we
are in a secondary prompt.
This is necessary to make sure that start_line is updated after a
command has been entered. Usually, start_line gets updated anyway
because most commands output text, and outputting text is done through
the function tui_puts, which updates start_line. However if a command
does not output text, then tui_puts will not get called and start_line
will not get updated in time for the next prompt to be displayed.
One can observe this bug by executing the command "delete" within TUI.
After executing, the prompt line
(gdb) delete
gets overwritten by the next prompt. With this patch, the prompt line
gets preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Use tui_putc instead of waddch to
emit the newline.

Clearly this means that a thread pushed a stop reply in the event
queue, and then before GDB confused the event, the whole process died,
along with its thread. But the pending thread event was left
dangling. When GDB fetched that event, gdbserver looked up the
corresponding thread, but found NULL; not expecting this, gdbserver
crashes when it tries to read this thread's registers.

threads, gdbserver calls set_desired_thread(0) ['0' means "I want the
continue thread"] which just picks the first thread in the list.
This looks like a dangerous thing to do. GDBserver continues
processing whatever it was doing, but to the wrong thread. If
debugging more than one process, we may even pick the wrong process.
Instead, GDBserver should detect the situation and bail out of
whatever is was doing.
The backends used to pay attention to the set 'cont_thread' (the Hc
thread, used in the old way to resume threads, before vCont), but all
such 'cont_thread' checks have been eliminated meanwhile. The
remaining implicit dependencies that I found on there being a selected
thread in the backends are in the Ctrl-C handling, which some backends
use as thread to send a signal to. Even that seems to me to be better
handled by always using the first thread in the list or by using the
signal_pid PID.
In order to make this a systematic approach, I'm making
set_desired_thread never fallback to a random thread, and instead end
up with current_thread == NULL, like already done in non-stop mode.
Then I updated all callers to handle the situation.
I stumbled on this while fixing other bugs exposed by
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test. The problems I saw were fixed
in a different way, but in any case, I think the potential for
problems is more or less obvious, and the resulting code looks a bit
less magical to me.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, w/ native-extended-gdbserver board.

GDB provides no indicator of progress during file operations, and can
appear to have locked up during slow remote transfers. This commit
updates GDB to print a warning each time a file is accessed over RSP.
An additional message detailing how to avoid remote transfers is
printed for the first transfer only.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_fileio_open>: New argument
warn_if_slow. Update comment. All implementations updated.
(target_fileio_open_warn_if_slow): New declaration.
* target.c (target_fileio_open): Renamed as...
(target_fileio_open_1): ...this. New argument warn_if_slow.
Pass warn_if_slow to implementation. Update debug printing.
(target_fileio_open): New function.
(target_fileio_open_warn_if_slow): Likewise.
* gdb_bfd.c (gdb_bfd_iovec_fileio_open): Use new function
target_fileio_open_warn_if_slow.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/pending.exp: Cope with remote transfer warnings.
This commit fixes a stale cleanup left by linux_mntns_access_fs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* nat/linux-namespaces.c (linux_mntns_access_fs):
Do not overwrite old_chain.
These changes allow debugging multithreaded NPTL xtensa applications.

This patch almost halves the time it takes to "target remote + run to
main" on a higher-latency connection.
E.g., I've got a ping time of ~85ms to an x86-64 machine on the gcc
compile farm (almost 2000km away from me), and I'm behind a ~16Mbit
ADSL. When I connect to a gdbserver debugging itself on that machine
and run to main, it takes almost 55 seconds:
[palves@gcc76] $ ./gdbserver :9999 ./gdbserver
[palves@home] $ ssh -L 9999:localhost:9999 gcc76.fsffrance.org
[palves@home] $ time ./gdb -data-directory=data-directory -ex "tar rem :9999" -ex "b main" -ex "c" -ex "set confirm off" -ex "quit"
Pristine gdb 7.10.50.20150820-cvs gets us:

* procfs.c: Include "filestuff.h".
These fields are currently used to track the location of the cursor
inside the command window. But their usefulness is questionable because
ncurses already internally keeps track of the location of the cursor,
whose coordinates we can query using the functions getyx(), getcurx() or
getcury(). It is an unnecessary pain to keep these fields in sync with
ncurses, and their meaning is not well-defined anyway. For instance, it
is not clear whether the coordinates held in these fields are
authoritative, or whether the coordinates reported by ncurses are.
So to keep things simple, this patch removes these fields and replaces
existing reads of these fields with calls to the appropriate ncurses
querying functions, and replaces writes to these fields with calls to
wmove() (when necessary and applicable).
In the function tui_cont_sig(), I removed the call to wmove() entirely
because moving to (start_line, curch) makes no sense. The move should
have been to (cur_line, curch) -- which would now be a no-op.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 22, no obvious regressions.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-data.h (tui_command_info): Remove fields cur_line and
curch.
* tui/tui-data.c (tui_clear_win_detail) [CMD_WIN]: Don't set
cur_line or curch, instead call wmove().
(init_win_info) [CMD_WIN]: Likewise.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_puts): Likewise. Don't read cur_line,
instead call getcury().
(tui_redisplay_readline): Don't set cur_line or curch.
(tui_mld_erase_entire_line): Don't read cur_line, instead call
getcury().
(tui_cont_sig): Remove call to wmove.
(tui_getc): Don't read cur_line or curch, instead call getcury()
or getyx(). Don't set curch.
* tui/tui-win.c (make_visible_with_new_height) [CMD_WIN]: Don't
set cur_line or curch. Always move cursor to (0,0).
