Now that all the targets are utilizing CPU_PC_{FETCH,STORE}, and the
cpu state is multicore, and the STATE_CPU defines match, we can move
it all to the common code.
This sets up the sim_state structure and the cpu member to match what we
do in most other sims, and what the common code suggests. This is a step
to unifying on the sim-cpu.o object.
This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections. We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.

Address of protected data defined in the shared library may be external,
i.e., due to copy relocation. By default, linker backend checks if
relocations against protected data symbols are valid for building shared
library and issues an error if relocation isn't allowed. The new option
override linker backend default. When -z noextern-protected-data is used,
updates on protected data symbols by another module won't be visibile
to the resulting shared library. This option is specific to ELF/i386

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.

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.

* gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp (test): Handle the case of being unable
to write to the .text section.
This testcase seems to assume the target is running Linux, so bare metal,
simulators and other debugging stubs running different OS' will have a
hard time executing some of the commands the testcase issues.
Even restricting the testcase to Linux systems (which the patch below does),
there are still problems with, say, QEMU not providing PID information when
"info inferior" is issued. As a consequence, the subsequent tests will either
fail or will not make much sense.
The attached patch checks if PID information is available. If not, it just
bails out and avoids running into a number of failures.

In gdb-sigterm.exp, SIGTERM is sent to GDB and it exits. However,
Dejagnu or tcl doesn't know this.
This patch is to catch the exception, but error messages are still
shown in the console and gdb.log. In order to avoid this, we also
replace gdb_expect with expect.

The old run frontend had a --version option, but the new common

get version info out of `run` when using the new frontend.

getting linking errors now for these targets. Move the main objects that
provide these functions before the common list to avoid that.

Pedro Alves:
The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual.
Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really
be using the --xdb switch.
I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I
looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked
potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias
for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end".
I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially
more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated,
e.g., for golang).

Hi,
ARM linux kernel has some requirements on the address/length setting
for HW breakpoints/watchpoints, but watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp doesn't
consider them and sets HW points on various addresses. Many fails
are causes as a result:
stepi^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 20.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted off: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: stepi advanced
watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2^M
Hardware watchpoint 388: *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 388.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted on: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2
This patch is to reflect kernel requirements in watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp
in order to skip some tests.

* gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp (valid_addr_p): Return
false for some offset and width combinations which aren't
supported by linux kernel.
PPC64 currently fails this test like:
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: no thread-specific bp: step: step
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: no thread-specific bp: next: next
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: no thread-specific bp: continue: continue (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: with thread-specific bp: step: step
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: with thread-specific bp: next: next
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: displaced=on: with thread-specific bp: continue: continue (the program exited)
The problem is that PPC is a non-continuable watchpoints architecture
and the displaced stepping code isn't coping with that correctly. On
such targets/architectures, a watchpoint traps _before_ the
instruction executes/completes. On a watchpoint trap, the PC points
at the instruction that triggers the watchpoint (side effects haven't
happened yet). In order to move past the watchpoint, GDB needs to
remove the watchpoint, single-step, and reinsert the watchpoint, just
like when stepping past a breakpoint.
The trouble is that if GDB is stepping over a breakpoint with
displaced stepping, and the instruction under the breakpoint triggers
a watchpoint, we get the watchpoint SIGTRAP, expecting a finished
(hard or software) step trap. Even though the thread's PC hasn't
advanced yet (must remove watchpoint for that), since we get a
SIGTRAP, displaced_step_fixup thinks the single-step finished
successfuly anyway, and calls gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup, which then
adjusts the thread's registers incorrectly.
The fix is to cancel the displaced step if we trip on a watchpoint.
handle_inferior_event then processes the watchpoint event, and starts
a new step-over, here:
...
/* At this point, we are stopped at an instruction which has
attempted to write to a piece of memory under control of
a watchpoint. The instruction hasn't actually executed
yet. If we were to evaluate the watchpoint expression
now, we would get the old value, and therefore no change
would seem to have occurred.
...
ecs->event_thread->stepping_over_watchpoint = 1;
keep_going (ecs);
return;
...
but this time, since we have a watchpoint to step over, watchpoints
are removed from the target, so the step-over succeeds.
The keep_going/resume changes are necessary because if we're stepping
over a watchpoint, we need to remove it from the target - displaced
stepping doesn't help, the copy of the instruction in the scratch pad
reads/writes to the same addresses, thus triggers the watchpoint
too... So without those changes we keep triggering the watchpoint
forever, never making progress. With non-stop that means we'll need
to pause all threads momentarily, which we can't today. We could
avoid that by removing the watchpoint _only_ from the thread that is
moving past the watchpoint, but GDB is not prepared for that today
either. For remote targets, that would need new packets, so good to
be able to step over it in-line as fallback anyway.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-04-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (displaced_step_fixup): Switch to the event ptid
earlier. If the thread stopped for a watchpoint and the
target/arch has non-continuable watchpoints, cancel the displaced
step.
(resume): Don't start a displaced step if in-line step-over info
is valid.
These tests exercise the infrun.c:proceed code that needs to know to
start new step overs (along with switch_back_to_stepped_thread, etc.).
That code is tricky to get right in the multitude of possible
combinations (at least):
(native | remote)
X (all-stop | all-stop-but-target-always-in-non-stop)
X (displaced-stepping | in-line step-over).
The first two above are properties of the target, but the different
step-over-breakpoint methods should work with any target that supports
them. This patch makes sure we always test both methods on all
targets.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20.
