This patch adds the NEWS entry for aarch64-linux record replay
support.
It has been reviewed and approved.

* NEWS: Add a note on process record-replay support on aarch64*-linux*
targets.
We concluded that gdbarch_in_function_epilogue_p is misnamed, since it
returns true if the given PC is one instruction after the one that
destroyed the stack (which isn't necessarily inside an epilogue),
therefore it should be renamed to stack_frame_destroyed_p.
I also took the liberty of renaming the arch-specific implementations to
*_stack_frame_destroyed_p as well for consistency.
gdb:

Add new commands to specifically enable and disable tui mode. This is
in addition to the readline bindings, but might be easier for a user to
discover if they accidentally end up in tui mode.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Mention 'tui enable' and 'tui disable'.
* tui/tui.c (tui_enable_command): New function.
(tui_disable_command): New function.
(_initialize_tui): New function.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (TUI): Include 'tui enable' in the introduction.
(TUI Commands): Add 'tui enable' and 'tui disable' details.
Use with_test_prefix to avoid duplicating test names when calling
the procedure test_gdbinit_history_setting multiple times.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp (test_gdbinit_history_setting):
Use with_test_prefix.
Use cleanup to avoid leaking memory if an error occurs during tui
start up.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (tui_set_layout_for_display_command): Ensure
buf_ptr is freed.
Calling tui_enable too early in tui_layout_command can leave the tui in
an enabled state if the user has entered an invalid layout name.
Instead postpone the call to tui_enable until later in
tui_set_layout_for_display_command just before the layout is changed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (tui_layout_command): Move call to tui_enable
into ...
(tui_set_layout_for_display_command): ...here, before calling
tui_set_layout. Only set the layout if gdb has not already
entered the TUI_FAILURE state.
Add layout name completion for the layout command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (layout_completer): New function.
(_initialize_tui_layout): Set completer on layout command.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/completion.exp: Add test for completion of layout
names.
The layout command supports the layout names $FREGS, $GREGS, $SREGS,
and $REGS. The intention of these layout names was to display the tui
register window with a specific set of registers.
First, these layout names no longer work, and haven't for a while, using
any of them will just result in switching to the general register view.
Second there is already the command 'tui reg GROUP' command to set the
displayed register set to GROUP, so making the layout command also
control the register set feels like unnecessary overloading of the
layout command.
This commit removes all code relating to supporting the register set
specific names from the layout command. Afterwards the user can select
an available layout using the layout command, and control the choice of
register set using the 'tui reg GROUP' command.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-layout.c (tui_set_layout): Remove
tui_register_display_type parameter. Remove all checking of this
parameter, and reindent function. Update header comment.
(tui_set_layout_for_display_command): Rename to...
(tui_set_layout_by_name): ...this, and don't check for different
register class types, don't pass a tui_register_display_type to
tui_set_layout. Update header comment.
(layout_names): Remove register set specific names.
* tui/tui-layout.h (tui_set_layout): Remove
tui_register_display_type parameter.
* tui/tui.c (tui_rl_change_windows): Don't pass a
tui_register_display_type to tui_set_layout.
(tui_rl_delete_other_windows): Likewise.
(tui_enable): Likewise.
* tui/tui-data.h (TUI_FLOAT_REGS_NAME): Remove.
(TUI_FLOAT_REGS_NAME_LOWER): Remove.
(TUI_GENERAL_REGS_NAME): Remove.
(TUI_GENERAL_REGS_NAME_LOWER): Remove.
(TUI_SPECIAL_REGS_NAME): Remove.
(TUI_SPECIAL_REGS_NAME_LOWER): Remove.
(TUI_GENERAL_SPECIAL_REGS_NAME): Remove.
(TUI_GENERAL_SPECIAL_REGS_NAME_LOWER): Remove.
(enum tui_register_display_type): Remove.
(struct tui_layout_def): Remove regs_display_type and
float_regs_display_type fields.
(struct tui_data_info): Remove regs_display_type field.
(tui_layout_command): Use new name for
tui_set_layout_for_display_command.
* tui/tui-data.c (layout_def): Don't initialise removed fields.
(tui_clear_win_detail): Don't initialise removed fields of
win_info.
* tui/tui-regs.c (tui_show_registers): Use new name for
tui_set_layout_for_display_command.
* tui/tui.h (tui_set_layout_for_display_command): Rename
declaration to...
(tui_set_layout_by_name): ...this.
* printcmd.c (display_command): Remove tui related layout call,
and reindent.
Add a new predicate procedure to the gdb.exp library 'skip_tui_tests',
which returns true if the tui is not compiled into gdb.
Make use of this predicate in the gdb.base/tui-layout.exp test as an
example.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (skip_tui_tests): New proc.
* gdb.base/tui-layout.exp: Check skip_tui_tests.
When using a conditional breakpoint where the condition evaluated
to false a large number of times before the program stopped,
a user reported that GDB's memory consumption was growing very
quickly until it ran out of memory.
The problem was tracked down to temporary struct values being created
each time the program stops and handles an inferior event. Because
the breakpoint condition usually evaluates to false, there can be
a fairly large number of such events to be handled before we eventually
return the prompt to the user (which is when we would normally purge
such values).
This patch fixes the issue by making sure that handle_inferior_event
releases all new values created during its execution.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): Renames handle_inferior_event.
(handle_inferior_event): New function.
... to avoid a build failure when building with C++ compiler
(when configured with --enable-build-with-cxx). We cannot use
"typename" as it is a C++ reserved keyword.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (to_fixed_array_type): Rename local variable
typename into type_name.

It is obvious why that happens, dummy_frame_pop() will call compile objfile
cleanup which will free that objfile and NAME then becomes a stale pointer.

Now compile_object_run() called from line

Some buildslaves are showing that this test is failing. E.g.,:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q2/msg04164.html
The issue is that HISTSIZE is set to 1000 in the environment that runs
the tests (that's the default in Fedora, set in /etc/profile).
We can trivially reproduce it with:
$ HISTSIZE=1000 make check RUNTESTFLAGS="gdbinit-history.exp"

It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its
expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between
the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an
intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new
command.
I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the
future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print'
command.
There was a discussion with Eli about the command name:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html
As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is
some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

Currently the code fetches _gdb_expr address/types at multiple places, guessing

Fetch it once, verify it has expected type and then rely on it.
While the patch tries to clean up the code it is still horrible due to the
missing C++ sub-classing.

For a reason unknown to me GDB was using -w instead of -Wall for 'compile code'.
The problem is later patch for 'compile printf' really needs some warnings to
be able to catch for example missing format string parameters:
(gdb) compile printf "%d\n"
GCC does not seem to be able to cancel -w (there is nothing like -no-w).
Besides that I think even 'compile code' can benefit from -Wall.
That #ifndef change in print_one_macro() is needed otherwise we get
macro-redefinition warnings for the GCC built-in macros (as -w is no
longer in effect). For example, without the #ifndef/#endif one gets:
compile -r -- void _gdb_expr(){int i = 5;}^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:4:0: warning: "__FILE__" redefined [-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined]^M
/tmp/gdbobj-xpU1yB/out4.c:5:0: warning: "__LINE__" redefined^M
...
It makes more sense to pick the inferior's version of the macros, hence
#ifndef instead of #undef.
That new testsuite XFAIL is there as if one changes the struct definition to be
compliant with cv-qualifiers (to prevent the warnings):
struct struct_type {
- struct struct_type *selffield;
+ volatile struct struct_type *selffield;
only then GCC/GDB will hit the crash, described in that GDB PR 18202.

In Ada, index types of arrays can be enumeration types, and enumeration
types can be non-contiguous. In which case the address of elements is
not given by the value of the index, but by its position in the enumeration
type.
In other words, in this example:
type Color is (Blue, Red);
for Color use (Blue => 8, Red => 12, Green => 16);
type A is array (Color) of Integer;
type B is array (1 .. 3) of Integer;
Arrays of type A and B will have the same layout in memory, even if
the enumeration Color has a hole in its set of integer value.
Since recently support for such a feature was in ada-lang.c, where the
array was casted to a regular continuous index range. We were losing
the information of index type. And this was not quite working for
subranges in variable-length fields; their bounds are expressed using
the integer value of the bounds, not its position in the enumeration,
and there was some confusion all over ada-lang.c as to whether we had
the position or the integer value was used for indexes.
The idea behind this patch is to clean this up by keeping the real
representation of these array index types and bounds when representing
the value, and only use the position when accessing the elements or
computing the length. This first patch fixes the printing of such
an array.
To the best of my knowledge, this feature only exists in Ada so it
should only affect this language.

In the case of non bit-packed arrays, GNAT does not generate its

the so-called "implementation type" with a P suffix. This
implementation type shall be skipped when looking for other
descriptive types such as XA encodings for variable-length
fields.
Note also that there may be an intermediate typedef between the
implementation type and its XA description. It shall be skipped
as well.

The PPC64 buildbot has been showing timeouts in mi-nsmoribund.exp,
like this:
(...)
-thread-info
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp: thread state: all running except the breakpoint thread (timeout)
... and I can reproduce this on gcc110 (PPC64) on the gcc compile
farm.
That is, the test sends "-thread-info" to GDB, but GDB never replies
back.
The problem is that these machines are too fast for gdb. :-)
That test has a few threads running the same tight loop, and
constantly hitting a thread-specific breakpoint that needs to be
stepped over. If threads trip on breakpoints fast enough that
linux-nat.c's event pipe associated with SIGCHLD is constantly being
written to, even if the stdin file descriptor also has an event to
handle, gdb never gets to it. because linux-nat.c's pipe comes first
in the set of descriptors served by the poll/select code in the event
loop.
Fix this by having the event loop serve file event sources in
round-robin-like fashion, similarly to how its done in
gdb_do_one_event.
Unfortunately, the poll and the select variants each need their own
fixing.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20 (poll and select variants), and PPC64
Fedora 18. Fixes the timeout in the PPC64 machine in the compile farm
that times out without this, and I won't be surprised if it fixes
other random timeouts in other tests.
(gdbserver's copy of the event-loop doesn't need this (yet), as it
still pushes all ready events to an event queue. That is, it hasn't
had 70b66289 merged yet. We should really merge both event-loop.c
copies into a single shared file, but that's for another day.)

The first kind of error is caused by the embedded struct definition,
so move it out of the parent struct.
The second kind of error is caused by forward declaring a static
global variable, which works in C, but not in C++ (or C with
-fno-common). Make it using extern instead, like done in other
similar cases.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-05-15 Yuanhui Zhang <asmwarrior@gmail.com>
* python/py-unwind.c (struct reg_info): Move out of ...
(struct cached_frame_info): ... this scope.
(pending_frame_object_type, unwind_info_object_type): Make extern.
Consider the following declarations:
type Signed_Small is new Integer range - (2 ** 5) .. (2 ** 5 - 1);
type Signed_Simple_Array is array (1 .. 4) of Signed_Small;
pragma Pack (Signed_Simple_Array);
SSA : Signed_Simple_Array := (-1, 2, -3, 4);
GDB currently print its value incorrectly for the elements that
are negative:
(gdb) print ssa
$1 = (65535, 2, 1048573, 4)
(gdb) print ssa(1)
$2 = 65535
(gdb) print ssa(2)
$3 = 2
(gdb) print ssa(3)
$4 = 1048573
(gdb) print ssa(4)
$5 = 4
What happens is that the sign-extension is not working because
we're trying to do left shift with a negative count. In
ada_value_primitive_packed_val, we have a loop which populates
the extra bits of the target (unpacked) value, after extraction
of the data from the original (packed) value:
while (ntarg > 0)
{
accum |= sign << accumSize;
unpacked[targ] = accum & ~(~0L << HOST_CHAR_BIT);
!!! -> accumSize -= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
accum >>= HOST_CHAR_BIT;
ntarg -= 1;
targ += delta;
}
At each iteration, accumSize gets decremented by HOST_CHAR_BIT,
which can easily cause it to become negative, particularly on
little endian targets, where accumSize is at most HOST_CHAR_BIT - 1.
This causes us to perform a left-shift operation with a negative
accumSize at the next loop iteration, which is undefined, and
acutally does not produce the effect we wanted (value left untouched)
when the code is compiled with GCC.
This patch fixes the issue by simply setting accumSize to zero
if negative.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_primitive_packed_val): Make sure
accumSize is never negative.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/pckd_neg: New testcase.
Fix build errors introduced by
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00281.html, which
didn't account for the change of the name of the struct process_info
field 'private' to 'priv' made in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-02/msg00829.html.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-aarch64-low.c (aarch64_linux_new_fork): Change reference
to process_info.private to process_info.priv.
* linux-arm-low.c (arm_new_fork): Likewise.
* linux-mips-low.c (mips_linux_new_fork): Likewise.
The following patch...
| proc-service, extern "C"
|
| libthread_db.so calls symbols in the client (GDB), through the
| proc-service interface. These routines must have extern "C" linkage
| so their symbol names are not mangled when GDB is built as a C++
| program. On the GDBserver side, we were missing fallback declarations for
| all these symbols.

... added a number of declarations which do not compile when cross-
compiling GDBserver on arm-android. The problem comes from type
prfpregset_t not being declared:
/[...]/gdbserver/gdb_proc_service.h:98:47:
error: unknown type name 'prfpregset_t'
After searching through the includes of the install we have,
I could not find that type being declared anywhere. So I did
the same as for prgregset_t, and created the typedef if the
type isn't declared.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add prfpregset_t BFD_HAVE_SYS_PROCFS_TYPE check.
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.
* gdb_proc_service.h [HAVE_PRFPREGSET_T] (prfpregset_t):
Declare typedef.
The function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() has an old workaround (from 1999)
for buggy terminals and/or ncurses library that don't return page
up/down keys as single characters. Because the workaround is so old, I
think the bug it is targetting is no longer relevant anymore.
But more importantly, the workaround is itself buggy: it 1) performs a
blocking call to wgetch() and 2) if the key returned by wgetch() does
not make up a relevant key sequence it throws away the input instead of
pushing it back via ungetch(). And indeed the workaround breaks Alt-key
sequences under TERM=xterm because of bug #2.
So this patch removes the buggy workaround and tidies up the function
accordingly.
I personally tested this change on a recent xterm (with TERM=xterm) in
Fedora 20 and had no problems with having ncurses properly interpret
page up/down keys. And Alt-key sequences now work when TERM=xterm too.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-command.c: Remove include of <ctype.h>.
(tui_dispatch_ctrl_char): Remove workaround for xterm terminals.
regcache_cpy_no_passthrough is no longer used for a standalone call.

2015-05-13 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* regcache.c (regcache_cpy_no_passthrough): New declaration.
(regcache_cpy_no_passthrough): Make it static, add function comment.
* regcache.h (regcache_dup, regcache_cpy): Reduce/update their comment.
(regcache_cpy_no_passthrough): Remove declaration.
Now stop_registers are no longer used and it can be removed.
I am not much sure what 'proceed_to_finish' really means now so I make a wild
guess while updating comments about it.
gdb/ChangeLog
2015-05-13 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdbthread.h (struct thread_control_state): Update comment for
proceed_to_finish.
* infcall.c (run_inferior_call): Update comment about
proceed_to_finish.
* infcmd.c (get_return_value): Update comment about stop_registers.
(finish_forward): Update comment about proceed_to_finish.
* infrun.c (stop_registers): Remove.
(clear_proceed_status, normal_stop): Remove stop_registers handling.
* infrun.h (stop_registers): Remove.
With dummy_frame destructors GDB no longer has to use global stop_registers.
dummy_frame's registers can be now stored associated with their specific
dummy_frame.
gdb/ChangeLog
2015-05-13 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* infcall.c (struct dummy_frame_context_saver)
(dummy_frame_context_saver_data_free, dummy_frame_context_saver_dtor)
(dummy_frame_context_saver_drop, dummy_frame_context_saver_cleanup)
(dummy_frame_context_saver_get_regs, dummy_frame_context_saver_setup):
New.
(call_function_by_hand_dummy): Move discard_cleanups of
inf_status_cleanup before dummy_frame_push. Call
dummy_frame_context_saver_setup and prepare context_saver_cleanup.
Use dummy_frame_context_saver_get_regs instead of stop_registers.
* infcall.h (struct dummy_frame_context_saver)
(dummy_frame_context_saver_drop, dummy_frame_context_saver_cleanup)
(dummy_frame_context_saver_get_regs, dummy_frame_context_saver_setup):
New declarations.
* infcmd.c: Include infcall.h.
(get_return_value): Add parameter ctx_saver, use it instead of
stop_registers.
(print_return_value): Add parameter ctx_saver, pass it.
(struct finish_command_continuation_args): Add field ctx_saver.
(finish_command_continuation): Update print_return_value caller.
(finish_command_continuation_free_arg): Free also ctx_saver.
(finish_forward): Call dummy_frame_context_saver_setup.
* inferior.h (struct dummy_frame_context_saver): New declaration.
(get_return_value): Add parameter ctx_saver.
* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_pre_stop_hook): Update
get_return_value caller.
Later patch needs two independent destructors for the same dummy_frame.
Therefore the registrar has been extended to an arbitrary number of
destructors.

2015-05-13 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* dummy-frame.c (struct dummy_frame_dtor_list): New.
(struct dummy_frame): Replace dtor and dtor_data by dtor_list.
(remove_dummy_frame): Process dtor_list.
(pop_dummy_frame): Process dtor_list.
(register_dummy_frame_dtor): Maintain dtor_list.
(find_dummy_frame_dtor): Handle dtor_list.
* dummy-frame.h (register_dummy_frame_dtor, find_dummy_frame_dtor):
Update comments.
There was now a leak-like bug that if dummy_frame "disappeared" by
remove_dummy_frame then its destructor was not called. For example in the case
of 'compile code' dummy frames the injected objfile would never get freed after
some inferior longjmp out of the injected code.
gdb/ChangeLog
2015-05-13 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* compile/compile-object-run.c (do_module_cleanup): Add parameter
registers_valid.
(compile_object_run): Update do_module_cleanup caller.
* dummy-frame.c: Include infcall.h.
(struct dummy_frame): Update dtor comment.
(remove_dummy_frame): Call dtor.
(pop_dummy_frame): Update dtor caller.
* dummy-frame.h (dummy_frame_dtor_ftype): Add parameter
registers_valid.
As this change was ported to GDB 7.9.1, the NEWS entry is moved to
a newly-created "Changes in GDB 7.9.1" section, matching the NEWS
file which is going to be distributed with the GDB 7.9.1 release.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Create "Changes in GDB 7.9.1" section. Move news about
Xmethods now being able to specify a result type to that new
section.
The control variable win_resized must be cleared before responding to
it.
Otherwise there is a small window where another SIGWINCH might occur in
between the handling of an earlier SIGWINCH and the clearing of
win_resized, at which point win_resized would be set (again) by the
signal handler. Shortly thereafter we would clear win_resized even
though we only handled the earlier SIGWINCH but not the latest one.
This chain of events is all avoided if we clear win_resized first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-win.c (tui_async_resize_screen): Clear win_resized
first before resizing the window.
* tui.c (tui_enable): Likewise.
Both dummy_frame_dtor_ftype and call_function_by_hand_dummy_dtor_ftype
represent the same type, there was some mistake/duplication during check-in.
gdb/ChangeLog
2015-05-08 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* dummy-frame.c (struct dummy_frame): Use proper typedef for dtor.

dummy_dtor parameter.
* infcall.h: Include dummy-frame.h.
(call_function_by_hand_dummy_dtor_ftype): Remove.
(call_function_by_hand_dummy): Use proper typedef for dummy_dtor
parameter.
