The problem described above is quite similar to PR 8841, in which GDB
can't set breakpoint on signal trampoline, which is mapped to a read-only
page by kernel. The rationale of this patch is to skip "unwritable"
frames when looking for caller frames in command "finish", and a new
gdbarch method code_of_frame_writable is added. This patch fixes
the problem on ARM cortex-m target, but it can be used to fix
PR 8841 too.

This fixes PR python/19438 and PR python/18393. Both bugs are about
invoking dir() on some Python object implemented by gdb, and getting a
crash.
The crash happens because the dictionary field of these objects was
not initialized. Apparently what happens is that this field can be
lazily initialized by Python when assigning to an attribute; and it
can also be handled ok when using dir() but without __dict__ defined;
but gdb defines __dict__ because this isn't supplied automatically by
Python.
The docs on this seem rather sparse, but this patch works ok.
An alternative might be to lazily create the dictionary in
gdb_py_generic_dict, but I went with this approach because it seemed
more straightforward.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23.

When you use a run control command (-exec-run, -exec-continue,
-exec-next, ...) with mi-async on, an extra (gdb) prompt is displayed:
-exec-continue
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb)
(gdb)
It doesn't seem to be a big problem for front-ends, since this behavior
started in gdb 7.9 and we haven't heard anything about that. However,
it caused me some trouble while writing a test for PR 20039 [1].
The problem comes from an extra (gdb) prompt that we write when running
in mi-async off mode to emulate a past buggy behavior. When executing a
run control command synchronously, previous gdbs always printed a prompt
right away, even though they are not ready to accept new MI commands
until the target stops. Only at this time should they display a prompt.
But to keep backwards compatibility apparently, we print it anyway.
Since commit 198297aaf, the condition that decides whether we should
print that "bogus" prompt or not has become true, even when running with
mi-async on. Since we already print a prompt at the end of the
asynchronous command execution, it results in two prompts for one
command.
The proposed fix is to call target_can_async_p instead of
target_is_async_p, to make the condition:
if (!target_can_async_p () || sync_execution)
... show prompt ...
That shows the prompt if we are emulating a synchronous command on top
of an asynchronous target (sync_execution) or if the target simply can't
run asynchronously (!target_can_async_p ()).
Note that this code is changed and this bug fixed by Pedro's separate
console series, but I think it would be nice to have it fixed in the
mean time.
I ran the gdb.mi directory of the testsuite with mi-async on and off, I
didn't see any regressions.

* mi/mi-main.c (mi_on_resume): Call target_can_async_p instead

[1] https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-05/msg00075.html
When doing -exec-run on a freshly started GDB, the only target on the
target stack at the time the dummy one. When mi_async_p is called to
know whether the run should be async, it queries whether the current
target (dummy) supports async, and the answer is no. The fix is to make
the code query the target that will be used for the run, which is not
necessarily the current target.
No regressions in the gdb.mi directory using the unix, native-gdbserver
and native-extended-gdbserver boards. The test doesn't pass when
forcing maint set target-async off, obviously, since it makes mi-async
have no effect. It doesn't seem like other tests are checking for that
eventuality, so I didn't in the new test.

I wanted to unit test the Rust lexer, so I added a simple unit testing
command to gdb.
The intent is that self tests will only be compiled into gdb in
development mode. In release mode they simply won't exist. So, this
exposes $development to C code as GDB_SELF_TEST.
In development mode, test functions are registered with the self test
module. A test function is just a function that does some checks, and
throws an exception on failure.
Then this adds a new "maint selftest" command which invokes the test
functions, and a new dejagnu test case that invokes it.

GDB's use of --dynamic-list to only export the proc-service symbols is
broken due to Python's "python-config --ldflags" saying we should link
with -export-dynamic, causing us to export _all_ extern symbols
anyway. On Fedora 23:
$ python-config --ldflags
-lpython2.7 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
$ python3.4-config --ldflags
-L/usr/lib64 -lpython3.4m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
Having GDB export all its symbols leads to issues such as PR gdb/16818
(GDB crashes when using name for target remote hostname:port), where a
GDB symbol unintentionally preempts a symbol in one of the NSS modules
glibc loads into the process. NSS modules should not define symbols
outside the implementation namespace or the relevant standards, but,
alas, that's a longstanding and hard to fix issue. See libc-alpha
discussion at:
[symbol name space issues with NSS modules]
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-04/msg00130.html
Python should instead be either using GCC's symbol visibility feature
or -Wl,--dynamic-list as well, to only export Python API symbols, but,
it doesn't. There are bugs open upstream for that:
[Use -Wl,--dynamic-list=x.list, not -Xlinker -export-dynamic]
http://bugs.python.org/issue10112
[Use GCC visibility attrs in PyAPI_*]
http://bugs.python.org/issue11410
But that's taking a long while to resolve.
I thought of working around this Python issue by making GDB build with
-fvisibility=hidden, as Jan suggests in Python issue 10112, as then
Python's "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" has no effect. However, that
would need to be done in the whole source tree (bfd, libiberty, etc.),
and I think that would break GCC plugins, as I believe those have
access to all of GCCs symbols, by "design". So we'd need a new
configure switch, or have the libraries in the tree detect which of
GCC or GDB is being built, but that doesn't work, because the answer
can be "both" with combined builds...
So this patch instead works around Python's bug, by simply sed'ing
away "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" from the result of python-config.py
--ldflags, making -Wl,--dynamic-list work again as it used to. It's
ugly, but so is the bug...
Note that if -Wl,--dynamic-list doesn't work, we always link with
-rdynamic, so static Python should still work.
Tested on F23 with --python=python (Python 2.7) and
--python=python3.4.

* remote.c (remote_start_remote): Detect PACKET_vFile_setfs.support.
Currently c_value_print will turn struct reference values into pointers before
doing a set of RTTI checks. This was introduced as a fix to PR c++/15401.
If there's RTTI the pointer will be adjusted and converted back to a reference.
However, if there's no RTTI the value will still be treated as a pointer during
the remainder of the function.
This patch moves the conversion down so that it's always performed when needed.
Notice this currently has not user-visible effects, so can be seen as a small
code cleanup. However, it'll be necessary for the bug-fix for handling
synthetic C++ references. It causes no testsuite regressions.

* c-valprint.c (c_value_print): Always convert val back to reference
type if we converted it to a pointer type.
In some babeltrace versions before 1.2.0, the header file iterator.h
declares the enum values `BT_SEEK_*' within the struct declaration of
bt_iter_pos. The enum values are supposed to be globally-scoped, which
works for C, but not for C++. Later babeltrace versions declare the
enum outside the struct:
https://lists.lttng.org/pipermail/lttng-dev/2013-September/021411.html
Now that GDB is compiled with C++, the GDB build fails on a system with
an affected babeltrace version: the compiler complains about a missing
declaration of BT_SEEK_BEGIN in ctf.c.
This patch enhances the configure check to recognize such babeltrace
versions as unusable for GDB.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Enhance configure check for babeltrace to reject
non-C++-enabled versions.
* configure: Regenerate.
Instead of pre-computing indices into a fortran array re-use
the value_* interfaces to subscript a fortran array.
The benefit of using the new interface is that it takes care of
dynamic types and resolve them when needed.
This fixes issues when printing structures with dynamic arrays from toplevel.

When GDBserver inserts a breakpoint, it looks for raw breakpoint, if
the raw breakpoint is found, increase its refcount, and return. This
doesn't work when it steps over a breakpoint using software single
step and the underneath instruction of breakpoint is branch to self.
When stepping over a breakpoint on ADDR using software single step,
GDBserver uninsert the breakpoint, so the corresponding raw breakpoint
RAW's 'inserted' flag is zero. Then, GDBserver insert single step
breakpoint at the same address ADDR because the instruction is branch
to self, the same raw brekapoint RAW is found, and increase the
refcount. However, the raw breakpoint is not inserted, and the
program won't stop.

breakpoint.c:should_be_inserted thinks the breakpoint shouldn't be
inserted, which is wrong. This patch restrict the condition that
only skip the non-single-step breakpoints if they are inserted at
the place we are stepping over, however we don't want to skip
single-step breakpoint if its thread is the thread we are stepping
over, so in this patch, I add a thread num in 'struct step_over_info'
to record the thread we're stepping over.

Before this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00709.html
read_value_memory checks parameter 'stack', and call read_stack or
read_memory respectively. However, 'stack' is not checked and
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY is always used in target_xfer_partial, which is
a mistake in the patch above.
This patch checks parameter 'stack', and choose TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY
or TARGET_OBJECT_STACK_MEMORY accordingly.

* valops.c (read_value_memory): New local variable 'stack'.

TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY.
This factors out all the yy-variables remapping to a single file,
instead of each parser having to do the same, with different prefixes.
With this, a parser just needs to define the prefix they want and
include yy-remap.h, which does the dirty job.
Note this renames the c_error, ada_error, etc. functions. Writing the
remapping pattern as:
#define yyerror GDB_YY_REMAP (error)
instead of:
#define yyerror GDB_YY_REMAP (yyerror)
would have avoided the renaming. However, that would be problematic
if we have a macro 'foo' in scope, when we write:
#define yyfoo GDB_YY_REMAP (foo)
as that would expand 'foo'.
The c_yyerror etc. naming end ups indicating that this is a yacc
related function more clearly, so feels like a good change, anyway.

The exceptions-across-readline issue was fixed by the previous commit.
Let's try this again.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/common-exceptions.h (GDB_XCPT_TRY): Remove mention of
the foreign frames issue.
[__cplusplus] (GDB_XCPT): Define as GDB_XCPT_TRY.
If we map GDB'S TRY/CATCH macros to C++ try/catch, GDB breaks on
systems where readline isn't built with exceptions support. The
problem is that readline calls into GDB through the callback
interface, and if GDB's callback throws a C++ exception/error, the
system unwinder won't manage to unwind past the readline frame, and
ends up calling std::terminate(), which aborts the process:
(gdb) whatever-command-that-causes-an-error
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_RETURN_MASK_ERROR'
Aborted
$
This went unnoticed for so long because:
- the x86-64 ABI requires -fasynchronous-unwind-tables, making it
possible for exceptions to cross readline with no special handling.
But e.g., on ARM or AIX, unless you build readline with
-fexceptions, you trip on the problem.
- TRY/CATCH was mapped to setjmp/longjmp, even in C++ mode, until
quite recently.
The fix is to catch and save any GDB exception that is thrown inside
the GDB readline callback, and then once the callback returns back to
the GDB code that called into readline in the first place, rethrow the
saved GDB exception.
This is similar in spirit to how we catch/map GDB exceptions at the
GDB/Python and GDB/Guile API boundaries.
The next question is then: if we intercept all exceptions within GDB's
readline callback, should we simply return normally to readline? The
callback prototype has no way to signal an error back to readline (*).
The answer is no -- if we return normally, we'll be returning to a
loop inside rl_callback_read_char that continues processing pending
input, calling into GDB again, redisplaying the prompt, etc. Thus if
we want to error out of rl_callback_read_char, we need to long jump
across it, just like we always did before TRY/CATCH were ever mapped
to C++ exceptions.
My first approach built a specialized API to handle this, with a
couple macros to hide the setjmp/longjmp and the struct gdb_exception
saving/rethrowing.
However, I realized that we need to:
- Handle multiple active rl_callback_read_char invocations. If,
while processing input something triggers a secondary prompt, we
end up in a nested rl_callback_read_char call, through
gdb_readline_wrapper.
- Propagate a struct gdb_exception along with the longjmp.
... and that this is exactly what the setjmp/longjmp-based TRY/CATCH
does.
So the fix makes the setjmp/longjmp TRY/CATCH always available under
new TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ aliases, even when TRY/CATCH is mapped to C++
try/catch, and then uses TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ to propagate GDB
exceptions across the readline callback.
This turns out to be a much better looking fix than my bespoke API
attempt, even. We'll probably be able to simplify TRY_SJLJ/CATCH_SJLJ
when we finally get rid of TRY/CATCH all over the tree, but until
then, this reuse seems quite nice for avoiding a second parallel
setjmp/longjmp mechanism.
(*) - maybe we could propose a readline API change, but we still need
to handle current readline, anyway.

Bits 20 ~ 23 of CPSR are reserved (RAZ, read as zero), but they are not
zero if the arm program runs on aarch64-linux. AArch64 tracer gets PSTATE
from arm 32-bit tracee as CPSR, but bits 20 ~ 23 are used in PSTATE. I
think kernel should clear these bits when it is read through ptrace, but
the fix in user space is still needed.
