Nowadays, if user requests HW watchpoint to monitor a large memory area
or unaligned area, aarch64 GDB will split into multiple aligned areas,
and use multiple debugging registers to watch them. However, the
registers are not updated in a transaction way. GDBserver doesn't revert
updates in previous iterations if some debugging registers fail to update
due to some reason, like no free debugging registers available, in the
latter iteration. For example, if we have a char buf[34], and watch buf
in gdb,
(gdb) watch buf
Hardware watchpoint 2: buf
(gdb) c

four debugging registers can not monitor 34-byte long area, so the last
iteration of updating debugging register state fails but previous
iterations succeed. This makes GDB think no HW watchpoint is inserted
but some debugging registers are used.
This problem was exposed by "watch buf" gdb.base/watchpoint.exp with
aarch64 GDBserver debugging arm 32-bit program. The buf is 30-byte long
but 4-byte aligned, and four debugging registers can't cover 34-byte
(extend 4 bytes to be 8-byte aligned) area. However, this problem
does exist on non-multi-arch debugging scenario as well.
This patch moves code in aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_hw_watchpoint to
aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_watchpoint in nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c.
Then, checks with aarch64_linux_region_ok_for_watchpoint, like what we
are doing in GDB. If the region is OK, call aarch64_handle_watchpoint.
Regression tested on aarch64 with both 64-bit program and 32-bit
program. Some fails in gdb.base/watchpoint.exp are fixed.

copy_type_recursive is allocated using malloc. Because the function
uses alloc_type_arch internally, the new type is now allocated on the
gdbarch associated with the type, and is thus owned by that gdbarch.

BuildBot e-mailed me to let me know that my last commit broke GDB on
RHEL-7.1 s390x. On solib-svr4.c:svr4_handle_solib_event, 'val' now

block. This patch does that. Pushed as obvious.

* solib-svr4.c (svr4_handle_solib_event): Initialize 'val' as NULL
This patch is intended to make the interaction between the
probes-based dynamic linker interface and the SystemTap SDT probe code
on GDB more robust. It does that by wrapping the calls to the probe
API with TRY...CATCH'es, so that any exception thrown will be caught
and handled properly.
The idea for this patch came from
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196181>, which is a bug
initially filed against Fedora GDB (but now under Fedora GLIBC). This
bug happens on armhfp (although it could happen on other targets as
well), and is triggered because GCC generates a strange argument for
one of the probes used by GDB in the dynamic linker interface. As can
be seen in the bug, this argument is "-4@.L1052".
I don't want to discuss the reasons for this argument to be there
(this discussion belongs to the bug, or to another thread), but GDB
could definitely do a better error handling here. Currently, one sees
the following message when there is an error in the probes-based
dynamic linker interface:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /bin/inferior
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
Cannot parse expression `.L976 4@r4'.
(gdb)
Which means that one needs to explicitly issue a "continue" command to
make GDB continue running the inferior, even though this error is not
fatal and GDB will fallback to the old interface automatically.
This is where this patch helps: it makes GDB still print the necessary
warnings or error messages, but it *also* does not stop the inferior
unnecessarily.
I have tested this patch on the systems where this error happens, but
I could not come up with a way to create a testcase for it.
Nevertheless, it should be straightforward to see that this patch does
improve the current situation.

* solib-svr4.c (solib_event_probe_action): Call
get_probe_argument_count using TRY...CATCH.
(svr4_handle_solib_event): Likewise, for evaluate_probe_argument.
This patch improves the error reporting when handling SystemTap SDT
probes. "Handling", in this case, mostly means "parsing".
On gdb/probe.h, only trivial changes on functions' comments in order
to explicitly mention that some of them can throw exceptions. This is
just to make the API a bit more clear.
On gdb/stap-probe.c, I have s/internal_error/error/ on two functions
that are responsible for parsing specific bits of the probes'
arguments: stap_get_opcode and stap_get_expected_argument_type. It is
not correct to call internal_error on such situations because it is
not really GDB's fault if the probes have malformed arguments. I also
improved the error reported on stap_get_expected_argument_type by also
including the probe name on it.
Aside from that, and perhaps most importantly, I added a check on
stap_get_arg to make sure that we don't try to extract an argument
from a probe that has no arguments. This check issues an
internal_error, because it really means that GDB is doing something it
shouldn't.
Although it can be considered almost trivial, and despite the fact
that I am the maintainer for this part of the code, I am posting this
patch for review. I will wait a few days, and if nobody has anything
to say, I will go ahead and push it.

Before this change, trying to complete an expression ending with an
ambiguous function name (i.e. for which there are multiple matches)
would display a menu with a prompt for the user to pick one. For
instance:
(gdb) p func<tab>Multiple matches for func
[0] cancel
[1] pack2.func at pack2.adb:5
[2] pack.func at pack.adb:5
>
This is not user friendly and actually triggered a segmentation fault
after the user did pick one. It is not clear whether the segmentation
fault needs a separate fix, but this is the only known case which
exhibits it at the moment, and this case must be fixed itself.
The problem lies in ada-lang.c (ada_resolve_function): when we got
multiple matches, we should not display the menu if we are in completion
mode. This patch adjusts the corresponding condition accordingly.

For the command "gdb gdb" valgrind currently reports 100s of individual
memory leaks, 500 of which originate solely out of the function
alloc_type_arch. This function allocates a "struct type" associated
with the given gdbarch using malloc but apparently the types allocated
by this function are never freed.
This patch fixes these leaks by making the function alloc_type_arch
allocate these gdbarch-associated types on the gdbarch obstack instead
of on the general heap. Since, from what I can tell, the types
allocated by this function are all fundamental "wired-in" types, such
types would not benefit from more granular memory management anyway.
They would likely live as long as the gdbarch is alive so allocating
them on the gdbarch obstack makes sense.
With this patch, the number of individual vargrind warnings emitted for
the command "gdb gdb" drops from ~800 to ~300.

When debugging Cell/B.E. code, the cross-architecture frame unwinding
works by accessing data structures refered to by a thread-local variable
in the inferior. While accessing this variable via minimal symbol,
code would use BMSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS to determine the offset of the
variable in the thread-local storage block.
This is incorrect, since it adds any relocation offset of the shared
library defining the TLS variable. That offset would be OK when
accessing the initial copy present in the .tbss section, but it must
not be applied to the offset of the variable in the TLS block at
runtime. Depending on whether or not the libspe2.so library was
prelinked, access to the variable would fail due to the incorrectly
relocated offset.
ChangeLog:
* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_spe_context_lookup): Do not

With recent changes to inferior handling, parse_spufs_run needs to be
more careful in assumptions it makes. In particular, this patch:
- Bails out early if the current inferior has not yet been registered
(e.g. during fork procession) to avoid assertion failures in register
cache code.
- Sets inferior_ptid to the current ptid while calling target_read_memory
to make sure the correct process is accessed if parse_spufs_run is
called early when inferior_ptid has not yet been switched by the caller.
ChangeLog:
* spu-multiarch.c (parse_spufs_run): Bail out if inferior is not
registered yet. Set inferior_ptid while calling target_read_memory.
The Linux target and gdbserver now check the siginfo si_code
reported on a SIGTRAP to detect whether the trap indicates
a software breakpoint was hit.
Unfortunately, on Cell/B.E., the kernel uses an si_code value
of TRAP_BRKPT when a SW breakpoint was hit in PowerPC code,
but a si_code value of SI_KERNEL when a SW breakpoint was
hit in SPU code.
This patch updates Linux target and gdbserver to accept both
si_code values to indicate SW breakpoint on PowerPC.

Since we are no longer using thread events by default in linux-thread-db,
the find_new_threads_once routine contains an assertion that it should
never be called on a live inferior unless using thread events:
gdb_assert (!target_has_execution || thread_db_use_events ());
However, there is a code path from thread_db_get_thread_local_address
that will in fact call find_new_threads_once in some scenarios. In
particular, this is currently always triggered when starting up any
Cell/B.E. combined exeuctable.
To fix this, this patch removes the call to thread_db_find_new_threads_1
when the current thread was not yet detected. In its place, we now just
call thread_from_lwp to detect this one thread if necessary.

run. This tests verifies that we have a toolchain that supports
generating combined Cell/B.E. binaries, and that the target machine
actually is a Cell/B.E.
In order to do so, a small test program is built and run (under the
debugger). Any failure is taken as a sign that we don't have a
Cell/B.E. machine and the tests are to be skipped.
This has the unfortunate effect that a serious bug in GDB that causes
internal compiler errors even on the trivial test program does not
lead to any failures in the testsuite, since now all gdb.cell test
are simply skipped.
This patch changes skip_cell_tests to at least report UNRESOLVED
in cases where execution of the test program fails in unexpected
ways.
testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/cell.exp (skip_cell_tests): Report UNRESOLVED on unexpected
failures to run the test program under GDB.
