c0272db585 btrace: Resume recording after disconnect.
This patch allows gdbserver to continue recording after disconnect.  On
reconnect, the recorded data is accessible to gdb as if no disconnect happened.

A possible application for this feature is remotely examine bugs that occur
at irregular intervals, where maintaining a gdb connection is inconvenient.

This also fixes the issue mentioned here:

dac790e1b9 PR python/15620, PR python/18620 - breakpoint events in Python
This patch adds some breakpoint events to Python.  In particular,
there is a creation event that is emitted when a breakpoint is
created; a modification event that is emitted when a breakpoint
changes somehow; and a deletion event that is emitted when a
breakpoint is deleted.

In this patch, the event's payload is the breakpoint itself.  I
considered making a new event type to hold the breakpoint, but I
didn't see a need.  Still, I thought I would mention this as a spot
where some other choice is possible.

cda75e7050 Rearrange Python breakpoint node in documentation
I noticed that the Python breakpoint documentation was ordered a bit
oddly.  It documented the constructor; then the stop method; then the
watchpoint constants (used for the constructor); then various other
methods and attributes; then the other constants used by the
constructor; and then finally some more methods and attributes.

This patch rearranges the node a little to move the constants to just
after the constructor and before the other methods and attributes.

e0f3fd7c44 PR python/19293 - invalidate frame cache when unwinders change
PR python/19293 notes that when a Python unwinder is disabled, the
frame cache is not invalidated.  This means that disabling an unwinder
doesn't have any immediate effect -- but in my experience it's often
the case that I want to enable or disable an unwinder in order to see
what happens.

This patch adds a new gdb.invalidate_cached_frames function and
arranges for the relevant bits of library code to call it.  I've only
partially documented this function, considering a warning sufficient
without going into all the reasons ordinary code should not call it.
The name of the new function was taken from a comment in frame.h next
to reinit_frame_cache.

No new test as I think the updates to the existing test are sufficient
to show that the code is working as intended.

38b022b445 Add method/format information to =record-started
Eclipse CDT now supports enabling execution recording using two methods
(full and btrace) and both formats for btrace (bts and pt).  In the
event that recording is enabled behind the back of the GUI (by the user
on the command line, or a script), we need to know which method/format
are being used, so it can be correctly reflected in the interface.  This
patch adds this information to the =record-started async record.

Before:

  =record-started,thread-group="i1"

After:

  =record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="bts"
  =record-started,thread-group="i1",method="btrace",format="pt"
  =record-started,thread-group="i1",method="full"

The "format" field is only present when the current method supports
multiple formats (only the btrace method as of now).

	* NEWS: Mention the new fields in =record-started.
	* common/btrace-common.h (btrace_format_short_string): New function
	declaration.

dcd1f97951 Add self-test framework to gdb
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.

That is:

 - Remote M32R debugging over SDI.

 - Debugging boards using the MIPS remote debugging protocol
   over a serial line, PMON, and a few variants.

f2f3ccb9f8 Add $_as_string convenience function
This patch is a follow-up to "Add printf format specifier for printing
enumerator":

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00144.html

Instead of having a solution specific to the printf command, Pedro
suggested adding a general purpose function $_as_string() that would
cover this use case and more.

So, in order to print the textual label of an enum, one can use:

  (gdb) printf "Visiting node of type %s\n", $_as_string(node)
  Visiting node of type NODE_INTEGER

012b3a217a Intel MPX bound violation handling
With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of
boundary violation.  A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as
a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3.  This patch adds a
handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed
when a bound violation is presented to the inferior.  In the stop mode
case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or
"lower", bounds and the address accessed.
On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged.  Additional
information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user
does not know the line in which violation occurred as well.

When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be
changed as exemplified below.

The usual output of a segfault is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68        value = *(p + len);

In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3
Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3]
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68        value = *(p + len);

In mi mode the output of a segfault is:
*stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV",
signal-meaning="Segmentation fault", frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c",
func="upper",args=[{name="p", value="0x603010"},{name="a",value="0x603030"}
,{name="b",value="0x603050"}, {name="c",value="0x603070"},
{name="d",value="0x603090"},{name="len",value="7"}],
file="i386-mpx-sigsegv.c",fullname="i386-mpx-sigsegv.c",line="68"},
thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="6"

in the case of a bound violation:
*stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV",
signal-meaning="Segmentation fault",
sigcode-meaning="Upper bound violation",
lower-bound="0x603010",upper-bound="0x603023",bound-access="0x60302f",
frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c",func="upper",args=[{name="p",
value="0x603010"},{name="a",value="0x603030"},{name="b",value="0x603050"},

tfile_fetch_registers currently wrongly fetches registers using

g packet has orig_rax first.

5fdf6324fa gdb: New set/show max-value-size command.
For languages with dynamic types, an incorrect program, or uninitialised
variables within a program, could result in an incorrect, overly large
type being associated with a value.  Currently, attempting to print such
a variable will result in gdb trying to allocate an overly large buffer.

If this large memory allocation fails then the result can be gdb either
terminating, or (due to memory contention) becoming unresponsive for the
user.

A new user visible variable in gdb helps guard against such problems,
two new commands are available:

   set max-value-size
   show max-value-size

The 'max-value-size' is the maximum size of memory in bytes that gdb
will allocate for the contents of a value.  Any attempt to allocate a
value with a size greater than this will result in an error.  The
initial default for this limit is set at 64k, this is based on a similar
limit that exists within the ada specific code.

It is possible for the user to set max-value-size to unlimited, in which
case the old behaviour is restored.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* value.c (max_value_size): New variable.
	(MIN_VALUE_FOR_MAX_VALUE_SIZE): New define.
	(show_max_value_size): New function.
	(check_type_length_before_alloc): New function.

6e9567fe2a Add support for LWP-based threads on FreeBSD.
Older versions of FreeBSD supported userland threading via a pure
user-space threading library (N threads scheduled on 1 process) and
a N:M model (N threads scheduled on M LWPs).  However, modern FreeBSD
versions only support a M:M threading model where each user thread is
backed by a dedicated LWP.  This thread target only supports this
threading model.  It also uses ptrace to query and alter LWP state
directly rather than using libthread_db to simplify the implementation.

FreeBSD recently gained support for reporting LWP events (birth and death
of LWPs).  GDB will use LWP events when present.  For older systems it
fetches the list of LWPs in the to_update_thread_list target op to update
the list of threads on each stop.

This target supports scheduler locking by using ptrace to suspend
individual LWPs as necessary before resuming a process.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* configure.ac: Check for support for LWP names on FreeBSD.
	* fbsd-nat.c [PT_LWPINFO] New variable debug_fbsd_lwp.

f303dbd60d Fix PR threads/19422 - show which thread caused stop
This commit changes GDB like this:

 - Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
 + Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

 - Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
 + Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.

 ... once the program goes multi-threaded.  Until GDB sees a second
thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the
discussion back in 2012:

  https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html

This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit
a breakpoint or received a signal:

 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
 * 1    Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 19362) "main" (running)
   2    Thread 0x7ffff7fc0700 (LWP 19366) "foo" (running)
   3    Thread 0x7ffff77bf700 (LWP 19367) "bar" (running)
 (gdb)
 Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.

 92          lll_wait_tid (pd->tid);
 (gdb) b threads.c:87
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
 (gdb)
 Breakpoint 1, thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:87
 87              usleep (1);  /* Loop increment.  */

The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure
things out.

It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print
nostop":

...
  Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.

  Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.

  Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.

  Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
...

The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads
getting the SIGUSR1 signal.

I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in

  "Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1"

but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint"
uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information.  It's
also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the
program goes multi-threaded this way.

Here's a larger example session in non-stop mode:

5d5658a1d3 Per-inferior/Inferior-qualified thread IDs
This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior.  Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
   1    process 6022     /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
 * 2    process 6037     /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
   1.1  Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6022) "threads" (running)
   1.2  Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
   1.3  Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)
   2.1  Thread 0x7ffff7fc1700 (LWP 6037) "threads" (running)
   2.2  Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6038) "threads" (running)
 * 2.3  Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6039) "threads" (running)
 (gdb)
...
 (gdb) thread 1.1
 [Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
 (gdb)
...

etc.

You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.

The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number.  It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.

Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs.  IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.

Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too.  Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.

To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown.  E.g,.:

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
 * 1    process 15275     /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
 * 1    Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 15275) "threads" main () at threads.c:40
 (gdb) add-inferior
 Added inferior 2
 (gdb) info threads
   Id   Target Id         Frame
 * 1.1  Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 15275) "threads" main () at threads.c:40

cde67b27d6 [DOC] Interrupt when program is stopped
This patch changes the document that interrupt (ctrl-c) is not ignored
when the program is stopped.

When the interrupt was supported in remote target, people thought interrupt
is meaningless when the program is stopped.  See

  https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-11/msg00349.html
  https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2005-11/msg00307.html

recently we find it is hard to preserve this feature "ignore interrupt
while program is stopped" when we fix some other bugs.  See
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00039.html

so we think we can go to the simpler approach "not ignoring ctrl-c when
program is stopped".  As a result, we tweak the documentation here.

	* gdb.texinfo (Interrupts): Update the document on handling
	interrupt when program is stopped.

19d9d4efd1 Target remote mode fork and exec event documentation
This patch implements documentation updates for target remote mode fork and
exec events.  A summary of the rationale for the changes made here:

* Connecting to a remote target -- explain that the two protocols exist.

* Connecting in target remote mode -- explain invoking gdbserver for target
  remote mode, and move remote-specific text from original "Connecting to a
  remote target" section.

* Connecting in target extended-remote mode -- promote this section from
  "Using the gdbserver Program | Running gdbserver | Multi-Process Mode for
  gdbserver".  Put it next to the target remote mode section.

* Host and target files -- collect paragraphs dealing with how to locate
  symbol files from original sections "Connecting to a remote target" and
  "Using the gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver".

* Steps for connecting to a remote target -- used to be "Using the
  gdbserver program | Connecting to gdbserver"

* Remote connection commands -- used to be the bulk of "Connecting to a
  remote target".  Added "target extended-remote" commands and information.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* NEWS: Announce fork and exec event support for target remote.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (Forks): Correct Linux kernel version where
	fork and exec events are supported, add notes about support
	of these events in target remote mode.
	(Connecting): Reorganize and clarify distinctions between
	target remote, extended-remote, and multiprocess.
	Reorganize related text from separate sections into new
	sections.
	(Server): Note effects of target extended-remote mode.
	Delete section on Multi-Process Mode for gdbserver.
	Move some text to "Connecting" node.

b1236ac35a [gdb/doc] Remove references to no-longer-supported systems
HP-UX and SGI/IRIX are no longer supported.  Remove references
throughout.

AFAICS from the sources, "catch fork" seems to be supported in
multiple Unix systems -- just remove the "only works on xxx" remarks.

Update the list of supported shared library types.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (Threads): Remove mention of SGI.
	(Forks): Remove mention of HP-UX.
	(Breakpoints): Remove mention of HP-UX.
	(Set Watchpoints) <hardware watchpoints>: Don't mention HP-UX.
	Reword in terms of architectures.
	(Set Catchpoints) <catch exec, catch fork, catch vfork>: Don't
	mention supported systems.
	(Convenience Vars): Don't mention HP-UX.
	(Jumping): Remove mention of HP-UX in comment.
	(Files) <shared libraries>: Update supported shared library types
	list.  Remove mention of HP-UX.
	(Native): Remove HP-UX subsection.
	(SVR4 Process Information): Remove mention of HP-UX.
