This patch adds support for TYPE_CODE_ENUM values to be supplied
as right-hand side operand of the BINOP_REPEAT (@) operator. The
following should now work:
enum {
sz = 17
};
int
main ()
{
int arr[sz + 1] = { 0 };
return 0; /* line 9 here */
}
(gdb) b 9
(gdb) r
(gdb) p arr@sz
$1 = {0 <repeats 17 times>}
(gdb)
A couple of tests is also included in this patch to demonstrate that it is
working as intended.

GDB currently fails to fetch the list of already-registered JIT
modules on attach.
Nothing is calling jit_inferior_init, which is what is responsible for
walking the JIT object list at init time.
Despite the misleading naming, jit_inferior_created_hook ->
jit_inferior_init is only called when the inferior execs.
This regressed with the fix for PR gdb/13431 (03bef283c2):
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-02/msg00023.html which
removed the inferior_created (jit_inferior_created_observer)
observer.
Adding an inferior_created observer back fixes the issue.
In turn, this exposes a bug in jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal as well,
which is returning the wrong result when we already have the
breakpoint at the right address.

Nowadays, GDB can't unwind successfully from epilogue on arm,

in this case, prologue unwinder is used. It analyzes the prologue and
get the offsets of saved registers to SP. However, in epilogue, the
SP has been restored, prologue unwinder gets the registers from the
wrong address, and even the frame id is wrong.
In reverse debugging, this case (program stops at the last instruction
of function) happens quite frequently due to the reverse execution.
There are many test fails due to missing epilogue unwinder.
This adds epilogue unwinder, but the frame cache is still get by
prologue unwinder except that SP is fixed up separately, because SP
is restored in epilogue.
This patch fixes many fails in solib-precsave.exp, and solib-reverse.exp.

On powerpc64, qSymbol query may require gdb to read a function
descriptor, sending a vFile packet to gdbserver. Thus, we need
to handle 'v' packet in look_up_one_symbol.
vFile replies may be quite long, and require reallocating own_buf.
Since handle_v_requests assumes the buffer is the static global own_buf
from server.c and reallocates it, we need to make own_buf global and
use it from look_up_one_symbol instead of using our own auto variable.
I've also done the same change in relocate_instruction, just in case.
On gdb side, in remote_check_symbols, rs->buf may be clobbered by vFile
handling, yet we need its contents for the reply (the symbol name is
stored there). Allocate a new buffer instead.
This broke fast tracepoints on powerpc64, due to errors in reading IPA
symbols.

This patch addresses a failure in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:
FAIL: gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp: cond_bp_target=1:
detach_on_fork=on: inferior 1 exited (timeout)
Cause:
A fork event was reported to GDB before GDB knew about the parent
thread, followed immediately by a breakpoint event in a different
thread. The parent thread was subsequently added via
remote_notice_new_inferior in process_stop_reply, but when the thread
was added the thread_info.state was set to THREAD_STOPPED. The fork
event was then handled correctly, but when the fork parent was resumed
via a call to keep_going, the state was unchanged.
The breakpoint event was then handled, which caused all the
non-breakpoint threads to be stopped. When the breakpoint thread was
resumed, all the non-breakpoint threads were resumed via
infrun.c:restart_threads. Our old fork parent wasn't restarted,
because it still had thread_info.state set to THREAD_STOPPED.
Ultimately the program under debug hung waiting for a pthread_join
while the old fork parent was stopped forever by GDB.
Fix:
Since this is non-stop, then the bug is that the thread should have
been added in THREAD_RUNNING state. Consider that infrun may be
pulling target events out of the target_ops backend into its own event
queue, but, not process them immediately. E.g., infrun may be
stopping all threads temporarily for a step-over-breakpoint operation
for thread A (stop_all_threads). The waitstatus of all threads is
thus left pending in the thread structure (save_status), including the
fork event of thread B. Right at this point, if the user does "info
threads", that should show thread B (the fork parent) running, not
stopped, even if internally, gdb is holding it paused for a little
bit.
Thus if in non-stop mode, always add new threads in the external
user-visible THREAD_RUNNING state. Change remote_notice_new_inferior
to accept the internal executing state of the thread instead, with
EXECUTING set to 1 when we discover a thread that is running on the
target (such as through remote_update_thread_list), and 0 when the
thread is really paused (such as when we see a stop reply).
Tested on x86_64 Linux and Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.

lookup_symbol is often called with user input. Consequently, any

only fixes locations in the code that trigger test suite failures.

$1 = 3

to a separate function. Note we don't need the separate
readline_input_state and more_to_come globals at all. They were
just obfuscating the logic.
- Factor out the tricky mostly duplicated code in
command_line_handler and command_line_input.
gdb/ChangeLog
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-top.c (more_to_come): Delete.
(struct readline_input_state): Delete.
(readline_input_state): Delete.
(get_command_line_buffer): New function.
(command_handler): Update comments. Don't handle NULL commands
here. Do not execute commented lines.
(command_line_append_input_line): New function.
(handle_line_of_input): New function, partly based on
command_line_handler and command_line_input.
(command_line_handler): Rewrite.
* event-top.h (command_handler): New declaration.
(command_loop): Defer command execution to command_handler.
(command_line_input): Update comments. Simplify, using struct
buffer and handle_line_of_input.
* top.h (struct buffer): New forward declaration.
(handle_line_of_input): New declaration.
There doesn't seem to be much point in trying to reuse this buffer.
Prefer simplicity instead.
(In case you're wondering whether this fixes an off-by-one: linelength
is misnamed; it's really a size including terminating null char.)
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-top.c (command_line_handler): Use xfree + xstrdup instead
of xrealloc + strcpy.
* main.c (captured_main): Use xstrdup instead of xmalloc plus
manual clear.
* top.c (saved_command_line): Rewrite comment.
(saved_command_line_size): Delete.
(command_line_input): Use xfree + xstrdup instead of xrealloc +
strcpy.
* top.h (saved_command_line_size): Delete declaration.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-top.c: Include buffer.h.
(gdb_readline_no_editing_callback): Use struct buffer instead
of xrealloc.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/buffer.h (buffer_grow_char): New function.
* top.c: Include buffer.h.
(gdb_readline_no_editing): Rename 'prompt_arg' parameter to
'prompt'. Use struct buffer instead of xrealloc.
Name this such that it's clearer that this is not a wrapper for the
real readline, but instead a replacement that provides no command line
editing features.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* defs.h (gdb_readline): Delete declaration.
* top.c (gdb_readline): Rename to ...
(gdb_readline_no_editing): ... this, and make static.
These comments are out of date -- we no longer call gdb_readline. And
I think that mentioning the event loop is more useful here than
whatever GO32 issue had with gdb_readline, which may even no longer be
an issue.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* utils.c (prompt_for_continue): Update comments.
The comments and existence of this global are a bit of misleading
obfuscation, since this is only ever used to print the prompt
annotation, and never changes. Just hardcode "prompt" where
necessary, as done for most other annotations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-top.c (async_annotation_suffix): Delete.
(top_level_prompt, command_line_handler): Don't use
'async_annotation_suffix' and simplify.
* event-top.h (async_annotation_suffix): Delete declaration.
(init_main): Remove reference to 'async_annotation_suffix'.
