This patch addes DW macro attributes MACRO_AT_func and MACRO_AT_range
in dwarf assembler, which emits "DW_AT_low_pc func_start addr" and
"DW_AT_high_pc func_end addr". func_start and func_end are computed
automatically by proc function_range.
These two attributes are pseudo attribute or macro attribute, which
means they are not standard dwarf attribute in dwarf spec. Then can
be substituted or expanded to standard attributes or macro attributes.
See details in the comments to them. Dwarf assembler is extended to
handle them.
Now the attributes name/low_pc/high_pc can be replaced with
MACRO_AT_func like this:
subprogram {
{name main}
{low_pc main_start addr}
{high_pc main_end addr}
}
becomes:
subprogram {
{MACRO_AT_func { main ${srcdir}/${subdir}/${srcfile} }}
}
users don't have to worry about the start and end of function main, and
they only need to add a label main_label in main.

numbering can not be eliminated so easily, and it may not even be a
useful goal for a "list" test case. Another option might be to adjust

There's code in linux_wait_1 that resumes all threads if the Hc thread
disappears. It's the wrong thing to do, as GDB has told GDBserver to
resume only one thread, because e.g., the user has scheduler-locking
enabled, or because GDB was stepping the program over a breakpoint.
Resuming all threads behind GDB's back can't be good in either case.
The right thing to do is to detect that that the (only) resumed thread
is gone, and let GDB know about it. The Linux backend is already
doing that nowadays, since:
commit fa96cb382c
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Feb 27 14:30:08 2014 +0000
Teach GDBserver's Linux backend about no unwaited-for children (TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED).
The backend detects that all resumed threads have disappeared, and
returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED to the core of GDBserver, which
then reports an error to GDB.
There's no need to frob the passed in ptid to wait for the continue
thread either -- linux_wait_for_event only returns events for resumed
threads.
The badness (of resuming threads) can actually be observed in the
testsuite, if we force-disable vCont support in GDBserver -- before
the patch, gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp hangs if we disable
vCont:

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Don't force a wait for the Hc
thread, and don't resume all threads if the Hc thread has exited.
The target->request_interrupt callback implements the handling for
ctrl-c. User types ctrl-c in GDB, GDB sends a \003 to the remote
target, and the remote targets stops the program with a SIGINT, just
like if the user typed ctrl-c in GDBserver's terminal.
The trouble is that using kill_lwp(signal_pid, SIGINT) sends the
SIGINT directly to the program's main thread. If that thread has
exited already, then that kill won't do anything.
Instead, send the SIGINT to the process group, just like GDB
does (see inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop).
gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp is extended to cover the scenario. It
fails against GDBserver before the patch.

The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is currently failing an
assertion recently added:
(gdb) stepi
../../src/gdb/infrun.c:2237: internal-error: resume: Assertion `sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: Single stepping past permanent breakpoint. (GDB internal error)
The assertion expects that the only reason we currently need to step a
breakpoint instruction is when we have a signal to deliver. But when
stepping a permanent breakpoint (with or without a signal) we also
reach this code.
The assertion is correct and the permanent breakpoints skipping code
is wrong.
Consider the case of the user doing "step/stepi" when stopped at a
permanent breakpoint. GDB's `resume' calls the
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint hook and then happily continues
stepping:
/* Normally, by the time we reach `resume', the breakpoints are either
removed or inserted, as appropriate. The exception is if we're sitting
at a permanent breakpoint; we need to step over it, but permanent
breakpoints can't be removed. So we have to test for it here. */
if (breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == permanent_breakpoint_here)
{
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
}
But since gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint already advanced the PC
manually, this ends up executing the instruction that is _after_ the
breakpoint instruction. The user-visible result is that a single-step
steps two instructions.
The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is actually ensuring that
that's indeed how things work. It runs to an int3 instruction, does
"stepi", and checks that "leave" was executed with that "stepi". Like
this:
(gdb) b *0x0804848c
Breakpoint 2 at 0x804848c
(gdb) c

One would instead expect that a stepi at 0x0804848c stops at
0x0804848d, _before_ the "leave" is executed. This commit changes GDB
this way. Care is taken to make stepping into a signal handler when
the step starts at a permanent breakpoint instruction work correctly.
The patch adjusts gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp in this direction,
and also makes it work on x86_64 (currently it only works on i*86).
The patch also adds a new gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp test that
exercises many different code paths related to stepping permanent
breakpoints, including the stepping with signals cases. The test uses
"hack/trick" to make it work on all (or most) platforms -- it doesn't
really hard code a breakpoint instruction.

"permanent"-ness is currently a property of the breakpoint. But, it
should actually be an implementation detail of a _location_. Consider
this bit in infrun.c:
/* Normally, by the time we reach `resume', the breakpoints are either
removed or inserted, as appropriate. The exception is if we're sitting
at a permanent breakpoint; we need to step over it, but permanent
breakpoints can't be removed. So we have to test for it here. */
if (breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == permanent_breakpoint_here)
{
if (gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint_p (gdbarch))
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
else
error (_("\
The program is stopped at a permanent breakpoint, but GDB does not know\n\
how to step past a permanent breakpoint on this architecture. Try using\n\
a command like `return' or `jump' to continue execution."));
}
This will wrongly skip a non-breakpoint instruction if we have a
multiple location breakpoint where the whole breakpoint was set to
"permanent" because one of the locations happened to be permanent,
even if the one GDB is resuming from is not.
Related, because the permanent breakpoints are only marked as such in
init_breakpoint_sal, we currently miss marking momentary breakpoints
as permanent. A test added by a following patch trips on that.
Making permanent-ness be per-location, and marking locations as such
in add_location_to_breakpoint, the natural place to do this, fixes
this issue...
... and then exposes a latent issue with mark_breakpoints_out. It's
clearing the inserted flag of permanent breakpoints. This results in
assertions failing like this:
Breakpoint 1, main () at testsuite/gdb.base/callexit.c:32
32 return 0;
(gdb) call callexit()
[Inferior 1 (process 15849) exited normally]
gdb/breakpoint.c:12854: internal-error: allegedly permanent breakpoint is not actually inserted
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
The call dummy breakpoint, which is a momentary breakpoint, is set on
top of a manually inserted breakpoint instruction, and so is now
rightfully marked as a permanent breakpoint. See "Write a legitimate
instruction at the point where the infcall breakpoint is going to be
inserted." comment in infcall.c.
Re. make_breakpoint_permanent. That's only called by solib-pa64.c.
Permanent breakpoints were actually originally invented for HP-UX [1].
I believe that that call (the only one in the tree) is unnecessary
nowadays, given that nowadays the core breakpoints code analyzes the
instruction under the breakpoint to automatically detect whether it's
setting a breakpoint on top of a breakpoint instruction in the
program. I know close to nothing about HP-PA/HP-UX, though.
[1] https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/1999-q3/msg00245.html, and
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/1999-q3/msg00242.html
In addition to the per-location issue, "permanent breakpoints" are
currently always displayed as enabled=='n':
(gdb) b main

But OTOH they're always enabled; there's no way to disable them...
In turn, this means that if one adds commands to such a breakpoint,
they're _always_ run:
(gdb) start

IMO, one should be able to disable such a breakpoint, and GDB should
then behave just like if the user hadn't created the breakpoint in the
first place (that is, report a SIGTRAP).
By making permanent-ness a property of the location, and eliminating
the bp_permanent enum enable_state state ends up fixing that as well.
No tests are added for these changes yet; they'll be added in a follow
up patch, as skipping permanent breakpoints is currently broken and
trips on an assertion in infrun.

* breakpoint.h (enum enable_state) <bp_permanent>: Delete field.
(struct bp_location) <permanent>: New field.
* guile/scm-breakpoint.c (bpscm_enable_state_to_string): Remove
reference to bp_permanent.
breakpoint.c uses gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc to determine whether a
breakpoint location points at a permanent breakpoint:
static int
bp_loc_is_permanent (struct bp_location *loc)
{
...
addr = loc->address;
bpoint = gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc (loc->gdbarch, &addr, &len);
...
if (target_read_memory (loc->address, target_mem, len) == 0
&& memcmp (target_mem, bpoint, len) == 0)
retval = 1;
...
So I think we should default the gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint
hook to advancing the PC by the length of the breakpoint instruction,
as determined by gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc. I believe that simple
implementation does the right thing for most architectures. If
there's an oddball architecture where that doesn't work, then it
should override the hook, just like it should be overriding the hook
if there was no default anyway.
The only two implementation of skip_permanent_breakpoint are
i386_skip_permanent_breakpoint, for x86, and
hppa_skip_permanent_breakpoint, for PA-RISC/HP-UX
The x86 implementation is trivial, and can clearly be replaced by the
new default.
I don't know about the HP-UX one though, I know almost nothing about
PA. It may well be advancing the PC ends up being equivalent.
Otherwise, it must be that "jump $pc_after_bp" doesn't work either...

Linux supports multiple "PID namespaces". Processes in different PID
namespaces have different views of the system process list. Sometimes,
a single process can appear in more than one PID namespace, but with a
different PID in each. When GDB and its target are in different PID
namespaces, various features can break due to the mismatch between
what the target believes its PID to be and what GDB believes its PID
to be. The most visible broken functionality is thread enumeration
silently failing.
This patch explicitly warns users against trying to debug across PID
namespaces.
The patch introduced no new failures in my test suite run on an x86_64
installation of Ubuntu 14.10. It doesn't include a test: writing an
automated test that exercises this code would be very involved because
CLONE_NEWNS requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN; the easier way to reproduce the
problem is to start a new lxc container.
