This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument
try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt
to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main
executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately.
With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a
"target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot"
or "file" commands are required, e.g.
bash$ gdb -q
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh
Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash...
One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test
checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main
executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main
executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit
this new behavior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec.
If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as
the main executable if no main executable is open already.
All callers updated.
* NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and
retrieval of executable + files from remote targets.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

GDB can access program files from remote targets that support
qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing
the main executable over the remote protocol.
This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote
protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that
was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for
this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is
implemented using it.

This commit updates exec_file_locate_attach to use exec_file_find
to compute the full pathname of the main executable in some cases.
The net effect of this is that the main executable's path will be
prefixed with gdb_sysroot in the same way that shared library paths
currently are.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* exec.c (solist.h): New include.
(exec_file_locate_attach): Prefix absolute executable
paths with gdb_sysroot if set.
* NEWS: Mention that executable paths may be prepended
with sysroot.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (set sysroot): Document that "set sysroot" also
applies to executable paths if supplied to GDB as absolute.
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).

This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

Currently, "set scheduler-locking step" is a bit odd. The manual
documents it as being optimized for stepping, so that focus of
debugging does not change unexpectedly, but then it says that
sometimes other threads may run, and thus focus may indeed change
unexpectedly... A user can then be excused to get confused and wonder
why does GDB behave like this.
I don't think a user should have to know about details of how "next"
or whatever other run control command is implemented internally to
understand when does the "scheduler-locking step" setting take effect.
This patch completes a transition that the code has been moving
towards for a while. It makes "set scheduler-locking step" hold
threads depending on whether the _command_ the user entered was a
stepping command [step/stepi/next/nexti], or not.
Before, GDB could end up locking threads even on "continue" if for
some reason run control decides a thread needs to be single stepped
(e.g., for a software watchpoint).
After, if a "continue" happens to need to single-step for some reason,
we won't lock threads (unless when stepping over a breakpoint,
naturally). And if a stepping command wants to continue a thread for
bit, like when skipping a function to a step-resume breakpoint, we'll
still lock threads, so focus of debugging doesn't change.
In order to make this work, we need to record in the thread structure
whether what set it running was a stepping command.
(A follow up patch will remove the "step" parameters of 'proceed' and 'resume')
FWIW, Fedora GDB, which defaults to "scheduler-locking step" (mainline
defaults to "off") carries a different patch that goes in this
direction as well.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

added to GDB, and remote_bfd_iovec_stat is implemented using it. If
vFile:fstat: is not supported by the remote GDB creates a dummy result
by zeroing the supplied stat structure and setting its st_size field
to INT_MAX. This mimics GDB's previous behaviour, with the exception
that GDB did not previously zero the structure so all other fields
would have been returned unchanged, which is to say very likely
populated with random values from the stack.

This adjusts target remote to tell the core whether a trap was caused
by a breakpoint.
To that end, the patch teaches GDB about new RSP stop reasons "T05
swbreak" and "T05 hwbreak", that remote targets report back to GDB,
similarly to how "T05 watch" indicates a stop caused by a watchpoint.
Because targets that can report these events are expected to
themselves adjust the PC after a software breakpoint, these new stop
reasons must only be reported if the stub is talking to a GDB that
understands them. Because of that, the use of the new stop reasons
needs to be handshaked on initial connection, using the qSupported
mechanism. GDB simply sends "swbreak+" in its qSupports query, and
the stub reports back "swbreak+" too.
Because these new stop reasons are required to fix a fundamental
non-stop mode problem, this commit extends the remote non-stop intro
section in the manual, documenting the events as required.
To be clear, GDB will still cope with remote targets that don't
support these new stop reasons; it will behave just like today.

gdb/doc/agentexpr.texi documents the "setv" opcode as follow:
@item @code{setv} (0x2d) @var{n}: @result{} @var{v}
Set trace state variable number @var{n} to the value found on the top
of the stack. The stack is unchanged, so that the value is readily
available if the assignment is part of a larger expression. The
handling of @var{n} is as described for @code{getv}.
The @item line is incorrect (and does not match with its
description), so this patch fixes it.
Additionally, in gdb/common/ax.def we find the line:
DEFOP (setv, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0x2d)
From the comment earlier in the file:
Each line is of the form:
DEFOP (name, size, data_size, consumed, produced, opcode)
[...]
CONSUMED is the number of stack elements consumed.
PRODUCED is the number of stack elements produced.
which is saying that nothing is consumed and one item is produced.
Both should be 0 or both should be 1.
This patch sets them both to 1, which seems better since if nothing
is on the stack an error will occur.

enabling and/or disabling, the corresponding fields on `probe_ops' can
be initialized to NULL. This is the case of SystemTap probes.

* gdb.texinfo (Tracepoint Packets): Document the builtin and name
fields of the QTDV packet.
Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user. The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.
The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size. The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.
Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

to be used for new threads.
The actual configuration that is active for a given thread will be shown
in the "info record" command.
At the moment, the configuration struct only contains a format field
that is set to the only available format.
The format is the only configuration option that can not be set via set
commands. It is given as argument to the "record btrace" command when
starting recording.

This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful. A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour. A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.

downstream Fedora request:
Please make it easier to find the backtrace of the crashing thread
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1024504
Currently after loading a core file GDB prints:
Core was generated by `./threadcrash1'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
8 *(volatile int *)0=0;
(gdb) _
there is nowhere seen which of the threads had crashed. In reality GDB always
numbers that thread as #1 and it is the current thread that time. But after
dumping all the info into a file for later analysis it is no longer obvious.
'thread apply all bt' even puts the thread #1 to the _end_ of the output!!!
I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number. Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage. Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

No objection to sorting the list, but if thread #1 is the important one,
then a concern could be it'll have scrolled off the screen (such a
concern has been voiced in another thread in another context),
and if not lost (say it's in an emacs buffer) one would still have
to scroll back to see it.
So one *could* still want #1 to be last.
Do we want an option to choose the sort direction?

clear_symtab_users calls breakpoint_re_set before
observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL), and thus symbol lookup
done during breakpoint_re_set will see a stale cache.
Presumably we just need to move the call to observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL)
to before breakpoint_re_set, but need to check for other such issues,
and 7.9 is scheduled to branch tomorrow.

(Cygwin Native): Remove documentation of the "dll-symbols"

This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

There was missing an append equivalent for "set auto-load scripts-directory".
ABRT has directory /var/cache/abrt-di/ as an alternative one
to /usr/lib/debug/ . Therefore ABRT needs to use -iex parameters to add this
/var/cache/abrt-di/ directory as a first-class debuginfo directory.
Using absolute "set auto-load scripts-directory" would hard-code the path
possibly overriding local system directory additions; besides it would not be
nice anyway.

I noticed that "si" behaves differently when a "handle nostop" signal
arrives while the step is in progress, depending on whether the
program was stopped at a breakpoint when "si" was entered.
Specifically, in case GDB needs to step off a breakpoint, the handler
is skipped and the program stops in the next "mainline" instruction.
Otherwise, the "si" stops in the first instruction of the signal
handler.
I was surprised the testsuite doesn't catch this difference. Turns
out gdb.base/sigstep.exp covers a bunch of cases related to stepping
and signal handlers, but does not test stepi nor nexti, only
step/next/continue.
My first reaction was that stopping in the signal handler was the
correct thing to do, as it's where the next user-visible instruction
that is executed is. I considered then "nexti" -- a signal handler
could be reasonably considered a subroutine call to step over, it'd
seem intuitive to me that "nexti" would skip it.
But then, I realized that signals that arrive while a plain/line
"step" is in progress _also_ have their handler skipped. A user might
well be excused for being confused by this, given:
(gdb) help step
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
And the signal handler's sources will be in different source lines,
after all.
I think that having to explain that "stepi" steps into handlers, (and
that "nexti" wouldn't according to my reasoning above), while "step"
does not, is a sign of an awkward interface.
E.g., if a user truly is interested in stepping into signal handlers,
then it's odd that she has to either force the signal to "handle
stop", or recall to do "stepi" whenever such a signal might be
delivered. For that use case, it'd seem nicer to me if "step" also
stepped into handlers.
This suggests to me that we either need a global "step-into-handlers"
setting, or perhaps better, make "handle pass/nopass stop/nostop
print/noprint" have have an additional axis - "handle
stepinto/nostepinto", so that the user could configure whether
handlers for specific signals should be stepped into.
In any case, I think it's simpler (and thus better) for all step
commands to behave the same. This commit thus makes "si/ni" skip
handlers for "handle nostop" signals that arrive while the command was
already in progress, like step/next do.
To be clear, nothing changes if the program was stopped for a signal,
and the user enters a stepping command _then_ -- GDB still steps into
the handler. The change concerns signals that don't cause a stop and
that arrive while the step is in progress.

First:
"Breakpoint.delete" is missing parenthesis.
Second:
Someone on IRC asked, how come there is no disable() method in the
Breakpoint object. It turns out you have to do "bp.enabled = False".
Since every normal person would probably search for "disable" in that page
if their intent is to disable a python breakpoint, I thought it would be
useful if the description contained "disable" so it would be easy to find.
The result might seem a bit silly and redundant, so I am open to
suggestions.

This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part.
procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.
Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.
A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.
I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads
it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command.
What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the
desired threads and then just do "continue".
This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this.
Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue".
That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject
any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal"
just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it.
"nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which
"queue-signal" doesn't do.
One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to
deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command. I have no current
need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have
left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one
tries to queue a nopass signal.

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.

Tested by installing both native and cross debugger.
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.

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.

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 .. }]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
