This patch teaches the TUI to resize itself asynchronously instead of
synchronously. Asynchronously resizing the screen when the underlying
terminal gets resized is the more intuitive behavior and is surprisingly
simple to implement thanks to GDB's async infrastructure.
The implementation is straightforward. TUI's SIGWINCH handler is just
tweaked to asynchronously invoke a new callback,
tui_async_resize_screen, which is responsible for safely resizing the
screen. Care must be taken to not to attempt to asynchronously resize
the screen while the TUI is not active. When the TUI is not active, the
callback will do nothing, but the screen will yet be resized in the next
call to tui_enable() by virtue of win_resized being TRUE.
(So, after the patch there are still two places where the screen gets
resized: one in tui_enable() and the other now in
tui_async_resize_screen() as opposed to being in
tui_handle_resize_during_io(). The one in tui_enable() is still
necessary to handle the case where the terminal gets resized inside the
CLI: in that case, the TUI still needs resizing, but it must wait until
the TUI gets re-enabled.)

This patch introduces a new M4 macro GDB_AC_TRANSFORM to avoid repeating
the common idiom which is the transformation of target program names,
i.e. from gdb to sparc64-linux-gnu-gdb. It also makes gdb/configure.ac
and gdb/testsuite/configure.ac to use the new macro.

probes, printing of probe arguments of several types and also
breakpointing on several probes with the same name.

This patch adds several gdbarch functions (along with the corresponding
predicates): `dtrace_parse_probe_argument', `dtrace_probe_is_enabled',
`dtrace_enable_probe' and `dtrace_disable_probe'. These functions will
be implemented by target-specific code, and called from the DTrace
probes implementation in order to calculate the value of probe
arguments, and manipulate is-enabled probes.

This patch adds the above-mentioned commands to the generic probe
abstraction implemented in probe.[ch]. The effects associated to
enabling or disabling a probe depend on the type of probe being
handled, and is triggered by invoking two back-end hooks in
`probe_ops'.
In case some particular probe type does not support the notion of
enabling and/or disabling, the corresponding fields on `probe_ops' can
be initialized to NULL. This is the case of SystemTap probes.

* gdb.texinfo (Static Probe Points): Cover the `enable probe' and

This patch moves the `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' functions
from stap-probe.c to probe.c. The rationale is that it is reasonable to
assume that all backends will provide the `$_probe_argN' convenience
variables, and that the user must be placed on the PC of the probe when
requesting that information. The value and type of the argument can still be
determined by the probe backend via the `pops->evaluate_probe_argument' and
`pops->compile_to_ax' handlers.
Note that a test in gdb.base/stap-probe.exp had to be adjusted because the "No
SystemTap probe at PC" messages are now "No probe at PC".

* gdb.base/stap-probe.exp (stap_test): Remove "SystemTap" from
expected message when trying to access $_probe_* convenience
variables while not on a probe.
A "probe type" (backend for the probe abstraction implemented in
probe.[ch]) can extend the information printed by `info probes' by
defining additional columns. This means that when `info probes' is
used to print all the probes regardless of their types, some of the
columns will be "not applicable" to some of the probes (like, say, the
Semaphore column only makes sense for SystemTap probes). This patch
makes `info probes' fill these slots with "n/a" marks (currently it
breaks the table) and not include headers for which no actual probe
has been found in the list of defined probes.
This patch also adds support for a new generic column "Type", that
displays the type of each probe. SystemTap probes identify themselves
as "stap" probes.

listed.
Print the "Type" column.

(stap_type_name): New function.
The function key_is_command_char() is simply a predicate that determines
whether the function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() will do anything useful.
Since tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() performs the same checks as
key_is_command_char() it is unnecessary to keep key_is_command_char()
around. This patch removes this useless function and instead
unconditionally calls tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() inside its only caller,
tui_getc().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Don't call key_is_command_char.
(key_is_command_char): Delete.
If the user:
#1 - disables the TUI
#2 - resizes the terminal
#3 - and then re-enables the TUI
the next wgetch() returns KEY_RESIZE. This indicates to the ncurses
client that ncurses detected that the terminal has been resized. We
don't handle KEY_RESIZE anywhere, so it gets passed on to readline
which interprets it as a multibyte character, and then the end result
is that the first key press after enabling the TUI is misinterpreted.
We shouldn't really need to handle KEY_RESIZE (and not all ncurses
implementations have that). We have our own SIGWINCH handler, and,
when we re-enable the TUI, we explicitly detect terminal resizes and
resize all windows. The reason ncurses currently does detects a
resize is that something within tui_enable forces a refresh/display of
some window before we get to do the actual resizing. Setting a break
on ncurses' 'resizeterm' function helps find the culprit(s):
(top-gdb) bt

That is, tui_enable calls tui_set_key_mode before we've resized all
windows, and that refreshes a window as side effect.
And if we're already debugging something (there's a frame), then we'll
instead show a window from within tui_show_frame_info:

goto error patters are sometimes AFAIK used in C for the cases like:

retval=0;
error_c: free(c);
error_b: free(b);
error_a: free(a);
error: return retval;
But here there is single error label with one do_cleanups() which I do not find
it worth the goto complication. Without goto one can then furher merge code in
the exit paths in the next patches and ... after all it is all the same, just
without a goto.

In C, we can forward declare static structure instances. That doesn't
work in C++ though. C++ treats these as definitions. So then the
compiler complains about symbol redefinition, like:
src/gdb/elfread.c:1569:29: error: redefinition of ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’
src/gdb/elfread.c:53:29: error: ‘const sym_fns elf_sym_fns_lazy_psyms’ previously declared here
The intent of static here is naturally to avoid making these objects
visible outside the compilation unit. The equivalent in C++ would be
to instead define the objects in the anonymous namespace. But given
that it's desirable to leave the codebase compiling as both C and C++
for a while, this just makes the objects extern.
(base_breakpoint_ops is already declared in breakpoint.h, so we can
just remove the forward declare from breakpoint.c)

On decr_pc_after_break targets, GDB adjusts the PC incorrectly if a
background single-step stops somewhere where PC-$decr_pc has a
breakpoint, and the thread that finishes the step is not the current
thread, like:
ADDR1 nop <-- breakpoint here
ADDR2 jmp PC
IOW, say thread A is stepping ADDR2's line in the background (an
infinite loop), and the user switches focus to thread B. GDB's
adjust_pc_after_break logic confuses the single-step stop of thread A
for a hit of the breakpoint at ADDR1, and thus adjusts thread A's PC
to point at ADDR1 when it should not, and reports a breakpoint hit,
when thread A did not execute the instruction at ADDR1 at all.
The test added by this patch exercises exactly that.
I can't find any reason we'd need the "thread to be examined is still
the current thread" condition in adjust_pc_after_break, at least
nowadays; it might have made sense in the past. Best just remove it,
and rely on currently_stepping().

This patch fixes a pair of TUI issues related to screen resizing:
1. In tui_handle_resize_during_io(), when the TUI screen gets resized,
we fail to update GDB's idea about the height of the output window.
You can see this bug by doing:
a. Enter TUI mode.
b. "show height"
c. Resize the terminal.
d. "show height"
And observe that despite resizing the terminal, the reported height
remains unchanged. Note that a similar issue exists in the CLI.
The fix for this is simple: call tui_update_gdb_sizes() after performing
a resize, so that the "height" variable remains consistent with the
height of TUI's output window.
2. In tui_enable(), the call to tui_update_gdb_sizes() may clobber
readline's idea of the actual screen dimensions, and a subsequent
pending resize will use bogus terminal dimensions.
You can see this bug by doing:
a. Enter TUI mode.
b. Exit TUI mode.
c. Resize the terminal.
d. Enter TUI mode.
e. Press a key to resize the screen.
And observe that the terminal gets incorrectly resized to the wrong
dimensions. To fix this issue, we should oppurtunistically resize the
screen in tui_enable(). That way we eliminate the possibility of a
pending resize triggering right after we call tui_update_gdb_sizes().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_handle_resize_during_io): Call
tui_update_gdb_sizes() after resizing the screen.
* tui/tui.c (tui_enable): Resize the terminal before
calling tui_update_gdb_sizes().
If we submit a command while the prompt cursor is somewhere other than
at the end of the command line, the command line gets truncated as the
command window gets shifted one line up. This happens because we fail
to properly move the cursor to the end of the command line before
transmitting the newline to ncurses. We need to move the cursor because
when ncurses outputs a newline it truncates any text that appears
past the end of the cursor.
The fix is generic enough to work properly even in multi-line secondary
prompts like the quit prompt.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Move cursor to the end of the command
line before printing a newline.
Some local changes I was working on related to SIGTRAP handling
resulted in "signal SIGTRAP" no longer passing the SIGTRAP to the
inferior.
Surprisingly, only annota1.exp catches this. This commit adds a test
that doesn't rely on annotations, so that at the point annotations are
finaly dropped, we still have this use case covered ...
This is a multi-threaded test to also exercise the case of first
needing to do a step-over before delivering the signal.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, remote/extended-remote gdbserver.

displaced_step_fixup takes an thread to work with, as argument. OTOH,
gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup fixes up the current thread. The former
calls the latter without making sure the current thread is the one
that was passed in. If it is not, then gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup
may e.g., try reading from a running thread, which doesn't work on
some targets, or worse, read memory from the wrong inferior and
succeed.
This is mostly a latent problem currently, as non-stop switches the
current thread to the event thread early in fetch_inferior_event.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

When gdbserver is called with --multi and attach has not been called yet
and tstart is called on the gdb client, gdbserver would crash.
This patch fixes gdbserver so that it returns E01 to the gdb client.
Also this patch adds a testcase to verify this bug named no-attach-trace.exp

Indicate gaps in the trace due to decode errors. Internally, a gap is
represented as a btrace function segment without instructions and with a
non-zero format-specific error code.
Show the gap when traversing the instruction or function call history.
Also indicate gaps in "info record".
It looks like this:
(gdb) info record
Active record target: record-btrace
Recording format: Branch Trace Store.
