There are `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' sections
also present in Linux executables, so we can't infer IRIX OS ABI solely
from the existence of these sections. This is not going to be a problem
as there are bound to be other sections whose names start with `.MIPS.'
in IRIX executables and this selection only matters for a non-default OS
ABI in a multiple-target GDB executable. As a last resort the automatic
selection can be overridden with `set osabi'.

commit 3116063bd6
Date: Fri Jun 27 09:52:29 2014 +0100
Subject: Tidy #include lists
... introduced a build failure on certain x86 GNU/Linux distributions
(reproduced on SuSE 10 and RHES4) due to "struct iovec" not being
defined. This struct is defined in <sys/uio.h>, which used to be
explicitly included, but no longer is after the commit above was
applied.

It seems to be working on newer GNU/Linux distros thanks to indirect
inclusion of <sys/uio.h>, but it does not work on some other versions
of the same distros. This is why indirect includes of public APIs
should be avoided if at all possible.
This patch fixes the issue by adding the explicit include back.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* i386-linux-nat.c, x86-linux-nat.c: Add <sys/uio.h> #include.
The problem here is that if a thread other than gdb's main thread
gets a SIGCHLD (it's an asynchronous signal so the kernel will
essentially pick a random thread) then gdb will hang if it is
in sigsuspend when the SIGCHLD is delivered. The other thread
will see the signal and the sigsuspend won't "wake up".
Guile and libgc should be blocking SIGCHLD in their threads,
but we need to work with Guile 2.0 and libgc 7.4.
The problem first shows up in libgc 7.4 because it is the first
release that enables multiple marker threads by default.

It crashes because frame_arg::val is documented it may contain NULL
(frame_arg::error is then non-NULL) but the code does not handle it.
Another bug is that py_print_single_arg() calls goto out of its TRY_CATCH
which messes up GDB cleanup chain crashing GDB later.
It is probably 7.7 regression (I have not verified it) due to the introduction
of Python frame filters.

This patch is a fix to PR gdb/17235. The bug is about an unused
variable that got declared and set during one of the parsing phases of
an SDT probe's argument. I took the opportunity to rewrite some of the
code to improve the parsing. The bug was actually a thinko, because
what I wanted to do in the code was to discard the number on the string
being parsed.
During this portion, the code identifies that it is dealing with an
expression that begins with a sign ('+', '-' or '~'). This means that
the expression could be:
- a numeric literal (e.g., '+5')
- a register displacement (e.g., '-4(%rsp)')
- a subexpression (e.g., '-(2*3)')
So, after saving the sign and moving forward 1 char, now the code needs
to know if there is a digit followed by a register displacement prefix
operand (e.g., '(' on x86_64). If yes, then it is a register
operation. If not, then it will be handled recursively, and the code
will later apply the requested operation on the result (either a '+', a
'-' or a '~').
With the bug, the code was correctly discarding the digit (though using
strtol unnecessarily), but it wasn't properly dealing with
subexpressions when the register indirection prefix was '(', like on
x86_64. This patch also fixes this bug, and includes a testcase. It
passes on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Historically the Linux x86 watchpoint code did not cope with multi-
threaded processes and LWP IDs were passed to it wrapped as PIDs.
Not all entry points were converted when the Linux x86 watchpoint
code was made multi-thread-aware, so a handler was left in place to
cope with wrapped LWPs. Since then all such entry points have been
converted to pass regular LWPs and the handler is now redundant.
This commit removes the handler and adds assertions to ensure no
wrapped LWPs are passed in future.

The idea was that we'd just fallback to calling value_field_bitfield,
which handles unavailable values (in unpack_value_bits_as_long_1) so
should be able to handle optimized out values too. Alas, it doesn't.
This is currently a bit too messy. Instead of teaching
unpack_value_bits_as_long_1 about optimized out bits, let's bite the
bullet and teach the value code to handle partially optimized out
bitfield, by having it unpack a bitfield and then propagate the range
metadata. Turns out the resulting code looks simpler and clearer.

PTRACE_PEEKUSER can return -1, which is usually used to determine whether
a system call has reported an error, so errno must be used alone to
determine whether an error occurred. However errno isn't modified by a

syscall call.

native MIPS Linux backend and the MIPS gdbserver backend.

This PR came from a Red Hat bug that was filed recently. I checked and
it still exists on HEAD, so here's a proposed fix. Although this is
marked as a Python backend bug, this is really about the completion
mechanism used by GDB. Since this code reminds me of my first attempt
to make a good noodle, it took me quite some time to fix it in a
non-intrusive way.
The problem is triggered when one registers a completion method inside a
class in a Python script, rather than registering the command using a
completer class directly. For example, consider the following script:
class MyFirstCommand(gdb.Command):
def __init__(self):
gdb.Command.__init__(self,'myfirstcommand',gdb.COMMAND_USER,gdb.COMPLETE_FILENAME)
def invoke(self,argument,from_tty):
raise gdb.GdbError('not implemented')
class MySecondCommand(gdb.Command):
def __init__(self):
gdb.Command.__init__(self,'mysecondcommand',gdb.COMMAND_USER)
def invoke(self,argument,from_tty):
raise gdb.GdbError('not implemented')
def complete(self,text,word):
return gdb.COMPLETE_FILENAME
MyFirstCommand ()
MySecondCommand ()
When one loads this into GDB and tries to complete filenames for both
myfirstcommand and mysecondcommand, she gets:
(gdb) myfirstcommand /hom<TAB>
(gdb) myfirstcommand /home/
^
...
(gdb) mysecondcommand /hom<TAB>
(gdb) mysecondcommand /home
^
(The "^" marks the final position of the cursor after the TAB).
So we see that myfirstcommand honors the COMPLETE_FILENAME class (as
specified in the command creation), but mysecondcommand does not. After
some investigation, I found that the problem lies with the set of word
break characters that is used for each case. The set should be the same
for both commands, but it is not.
During the process of deciding which type of completion should be used,
the code in gdb/completer.c:complete_line_internal analyses the command
that requested the completion and tries to determine the type of
completion wanted by checking which completion function will be called
(e.g., filename_completer for filenames, location_completer for
locations, etc.).
This all works fine for myfirstcommand, because immediately after the
command registration the Python backend already sets its completion
function to filename_completer (which then causes the
complete_line_internal function to choose the right set of word break
chars). However, for mysecondcommand, this decision is postponed to
when the completer function is evaluated, and the Python backend uses an
internal completer (called cmdpy_completer). complete_line_internal
doesn't know about this internal completer, and can't choose the right
set of word break chars in time, which then leads to a bad decision when
completing the "/hom" word.
So, after a few attempts, I decided to create another callback in
"struct cmd_list_element" that will be responsible for handling the case
when there is an unknown completer function for complete_line_internal
to work with. So far, only the Python backend uses this callback, and
only when the user provides a completer method instead of registering
the command directly with a completer class. I think this is the best
option because it not very intrusive (all the other commands will still
work normally), but especially because the whole completion code is so
messy that it would be hard to fix this without having to redesign
things.
I have regtested this on Fedora 18 x86_64, without regressions. I also
included a testcase.

This commit renames nine files that contain code used by both 32- and

There are two parts to this. If called before gdb_stderr is set up,
internal_vproblem will fall back to printing the message on regular
stderr and aborting. If called after gdb_stderr is set up but before
filtered printing is set up, internal_vproblem will operate as usual
except that it can not query whether to quit and/or dump core so it
defaults to doing both.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* utils.h (filtered_printing_initialized): New declaration.
* utils.c (abort_with_message): New function.
(internal_vproblem): Use abort_with_message for first level
recursive internal problems, and if gdb_stderr is not set up.
Protect calls to target_terminal_ours, begin_line and query.
Hi,
This patch is to handle a software watchpoint case that program returns
to caller's epilogue, and it causes the fail in thumb mode,
finish^M
Run till exit from #0 func () at gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoint-cond-gone.c:26^M
0x000001f6 in jumper ()^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-cond-gone.exp: Catch the no longer valid watchpoint
In the test, jumper calls func, and programs returns from func to
jumper's epilogue, IOW, the branch instruction is the last instruction
of jumper's function body.
jumper:
.....
0x000001f2 <+10>: bl 0x200 [1] <---- indirect call to func
0x000001f6 <+14>: mov sp, r7 [2] <---- start of the epilogue
0x000001f8 <+16>: add sp, #8
0x000001fa <+18>: pop {r7}
0x000001fc <+20>: pop {r0}
0x000001fe <+22>: bx r0
When the inferior returns from func back to jumper, it is expected
that an expression of a software watchpoint becomes out-of-scope.
GDB validates the expression by checking the corresponding frame,
but this check is guarded by gdbarch_in_function_epilogue_p. See
breakpoint.c:watchpoint_check.
It doesn't work in this case, because program returns from func's
epilogue back to jumper's epilogue [2], GDB thinks the program is
still within the epilogue, but in fact it goes to a different one.
When PC points at [2], the sp-restore instruction is to be
executed, so the stack frame isn't destroyed yet and we can still
use the frame mechanism reliably.
Note that when PC points to the first instruction of restoring SP,
it is part of epilogue, but we still return zero. When goes to
the next instruction, the backward scan will still match the
epilogue sequence correctly. The reason for doing this is to
handle the "return-to-epilogue" case.
What this patch does is to restrict the epilogue matching that let
GDB think the first SP restore instruction isn't part of the epilogue,
and fall back to use frame mechanism. We set 'found_stack_adjust'
zero before backward scan, and we've done this for arm mode
counterpart (arm_in_function_epilogue_p) too.
The patch is tested in arm-none-eabi and arm-none-linux-gnueabi with
various multilibs. OK to apply?
gdb:

* arm-tdep.c (thumb_in_function_epilogue_p): Don't set
found_stack_adjust in forward scan. Remove condition check
on found_stack_adjust which is always true. Indent the code.
Hi,
dwarf_decode_lines is called in two functions,
dwarf2_build_include_psymtabs and handle_DW_AT_stmt_list, in which, 1
is passed to argument 'want_line_info' and 'want_line_info' is a
conditional variable in dwarf_decode_lines. We can simplify it by
removing 'want_line_info' and propagating the constant 1 into
dwarf_decode_lines. This is what this patch does. This patch also
remove one line comment about WANT_LINE_INFO in
handle_DW_AT_stmt_list, as handle_DW_AT_stmt_list doesn't have such
argument.
gdb:
2014-08-28 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* dwarf2read.c (dwarf_decode_lines): Update declaration.
(handle_DW_AT_stmt_list): Remove comment about WANT_LINE_INFO.
(dwarf_decode_lines): Remove argument
want_line_info. Remove condition check on want_line_info.
Callers update.
I read comment of scan_partial_symbols about NEED_PC and how *LOWPC
and *HIGHPC are updated:
DW_AT_ranges). If NEED_PC is set, then this function will set
*LOWPC and *HIGHPC to the lowest and highest PC values found in CU
and record the covered ranges in the addrmap.
NEED_PC is only used in the callee of scan_partial_symbols,
add_partial_subprogram,
if (pdi->tag == DW_TAG_subprogram)
{
if (pdi->has_pc_info)
{
if (pdi->lowpc < *lowpc)
*lowpc = pdi->lowpc;
if (pdi->highpc > *highpc)
*highpc = pdi->highpc;
if (need_pc)
*LOWPC and *HIGHPC is updated regardless of NEED_PC. When NEED_PC is
true, addrmap is updated. It would be clear to rename NEED_PC to
SET_ADDRMAP. That is what this patch does. Beside this, this patch
also adjust comments in related functions.
gdb:

When GDB uses recent version of babeltrace, such as 1.2.x, we'll see
such error emitted from babeltrace library,
(gdb) target ctf .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/actions.ctf
[error] Invalid CTF stream: content size is smaller than packet headers.
[error] Stream index creation error.
[error] Open file stream error.
The problem can be reproduce out of GDB too, using babeltrace,
$ babeltrace ./fake-packet.ctf/
[error] Invalid CTF stream: content size is smaller than packet headers.
[error] Stream index creation error.
[error] Open file stream error.
Recent babeltrace library becomes more strict on CTF, and complains
about one "faked packet" GDB adds, when saving trace data in ctf
format from GDB. babeltrace 1.1.0 has a bug that it can't read trace
data smaller than a certain size (see https://bugs.lttng.org/issues/450).
We workaround it in GDB to append some meaningless data in a faked
packet to make sure trace file is large enough (see ctf.c:ctf_end).
The babeltrace issue was fixed in 1.1.1 release. However, babeltrace
recent release (since 1.1.2) starts to complain about such faked
packet. Here is a table shows that whether faked packet or no faked
packet is "supported" by various babeltrace releases,
faked packet no faked packet
1.1.0 Yes No
1.1.1 Yes Yes
1.1.2 No Yes
1.2.0 No Yes
We decide to get rid of this workaround in GDB, and people can build GDB
with libbabeltrace >= 1.1.1. In this way, both configure and ctf.c is
simpler.
Run gdb.trace/* tests in the following combinations:
wo/ this pattch 1.1.0
w/ this patch 1.1.1
w/ this patch 1.1.2
w/ this patch 1.2.0
No test results change.

Similar update_thread_list() call is IMO missing in procfs_make_note_section()
but I do not have where to verify that change.

This TODO has been stale for over 2 years. In bd5635a1 (1991), we
already see the comment, when we only had a bare attach_command:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/*
* TODO:
* Should save/restore the tty state since it might be that the
* program to be debugged was started on this tty and it wants
* the tty in some state other than what we want. If it's running
* on another terminal or without a terminal, then saving and
* restoring the tty state is a harmless no-op.
* This only needs to be done if we are attaching to a process.
*/
/*
* attach_command --
* takes a program started up outside of gdb and ``attaches'' to it.
* This stops it cold in its tracks and allows us to start tracing it.
* For this to work, we must be able to send the process a
* signal and we must have the same effective uid as the program.
*/
void
attach_command (args, from_tty)
char *args;
int from_tty;
{
target_attach (args, from_tty);
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later in b5a3d2aa (1992) target_terminal_init, etc. calls are added to
attach_command, and in 7e97eb28 (1992) we see:
+ /* If we attached to the process, we might or might not be sharing
+ a terminal. Avoid printing error msg if we are unable to set our
+ terminal's process group to his process group ID. */
+ if (!attach_flag) {
+ OOPSY ("ioctl TIOCSPGRP");
Clearly the TODO has been stale for a long while.
I considered preserving the text elsewhere, but then thought the
comments in inflow.c already have all the necessary info.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infcmd.c (attach_command): Remove comment.
