Nowadays, argument LEN of to_xfer_partial can be zero in some cases,
and each implementation may do nothing and return zero, indicating
transfer is done. That is fine. However, when we change
to_xfer_partial to return target_xfer_status, we have to check every
return value of most of to_xfer_partial implementations, return
TARGET_XFER_DONE if return value is zero.
This patch simplifies this by checking LEN in target_xfer_partial, and
return 0 if LEN is zero. Regression tested on x86_84-linux. Is it
OK?

When the linker has a weak undefined symbol, it normally does not
select an archive library member just to satisfy the reference.
If the same symbol is also listed in a -u option, however, we
should select the archive library member. This patch reorders
the code in Library_base::should_include_member so that the
additional checks are performed in the case of a weak undef.

PR gold/13577 complains that even though symbols listed in
the --dynamic-list script are exported, they are still bound symbolically
if -Bsymbolic is also used. There are two underlying problems here.
First, -Bsymbolic should be overridden by --dynamic-list, since the
dynamic list provides an explicit list of symbols that are not bound
within the library, and if we go ahead and set DT_SYMBOLIC, then the
dynamic loader will bind it within the library anyway. Second, gold
did not properly identify the symbols listed in the file as preemptible.
PR gold/16530 complains that symbols listed in the --dynamic-list script
can still be garbage collected. I've fixed this by checking the symbols
as they're added to the symbol table. (Unlike the --export-dynamic-symbol
option, we can't iterate over the list, because the --dynamic-list script
can have wildcards in it.)

This patch handles another aspect of the ELFv2 ABI, which unfortunately
requires common code changes.
In ELFv2, functions may provide both a global and a local entry point.
The global entry point (where the function symbol points to) is intended
to be used for function-pointer or cross-module (PLT) calls, and requires
r12 to be set up to the entry point address itself. The local entry
point (which is found at a fixed offset after the global entry point,
as defined by bits in the symbol table entries' st_other field), instead
expects r2 to be set up to the current TOC.
Now, when setting a breakpoint on a function by name, you really want
that breakpoint to trigger either way, no matter whether the function
is called via its local or global entry point. Since the global entry
point will always fall through into the local entry point, the way to
achieve that is to simply set the breakpoint at the local entry point.
One way to do that would be to have prologue parsing skip the code
sequence that makes up the global entry point. Unfortunately, this
does not work reliably, since -for optimized code- GDB these days
will not actuall invoke the prologue parsing code but instead just
set the breakpoint at the symbol address and rely on DWARF being
correct at any point throughout the function ...
Unfortunately, I don't really see any way to express the notion of
local entry points with the current set of gdbarch callbacks.
Thus this patch adds a new callback, skip_entrypoint, that is
somewhat analogous to skip_prologue, but is called every time
GDB needs to determine a function start address, even in those
cases where GDB decides to not call skip_prologue.
As a side effect, the skip_entrypoint implementation on ppc64
does not need to perform any instruction parsing; it can simply
rely on the local entry point flags in the symbol table entry.
With this implemented, two test cases would still fail to set
the breakpoint correctly, but that's because they use the construct:
gdb_test "break *hello"
Now, using "*hello" explicitly instructs GDB to set the breakpoint
at the numerical value of "hello" treated as function pointer, so
it will by definition only hit the global entry point.
I think this behaviour is unavoidable, but acceptable -- most people
do not use this construct, and if they do, they get what they
asked for ...
In one of those two test cases, use of this construct is really
not appropriate. I think this was added way back when as a means
to work around prologue skipping problems on some platforms. These
days that shouldn't really be necessary any more ...
For the other (step-bt), we really want to make sure backtracing
works on the very first instruction of the routine. To enable that
test also on powerpc64le-linux, we can modify the code to call the
test function via function pointer (which makes it use the global
entry point in the ELFv2 ABI).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (skip_entrypoint): New callback.

* symtab.c (skip_prologue_sal): Call gdbarch_skip_entrypoint.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/sigbpt.exp: Do not use "*" when setting breakpoint
on a function.
* gdb.base/step-bt.c: Call hello via function pointer to make
sure its first instruction is executed on powerpc64le-linux.
Another significant difference in the ELFv2 ABI is that "homogeneous"
floating-point and vector aggregates, i.e. aggregates the consist
(recursively) only of members of the same floating-point or vector type,
are passed in a series of floating-point / vector registers, as if they
were seperate parameters. (This is similar to the ARM ABI.) This
applies to both calls and returns.
In addition when returning any aggregate of up to 16 bytes, ELFv2 now
used general-purpose registers.
This patch adds support for these aspects of the ABI, which is relatively
straightforward after the refactoring patch to ppc-sysv-tdep.c.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_aggregate_candidate): New routine.
(ppc64_elfv2_abi_homogeneous_aggregate): Likewise.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_push_param): Handle ELFv2 homogeneous structs.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value): Likewise. Also, handle small
structures returned in GPRs.
This implementes another change in ELFv2: the stack frame no longer
contains the reserved double words for linker and compiler use
(which weren't really used for much of anything anyway). This
affects placement of on-stack parameters in inferior calls.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call): Use correct
offset to the stack parameter list for the ELFv2 ABI.
This implements the most significant difference with the ELFv2 ABI:
we no longer use function descriptors. The patch consists mostly
of switching off code to deal with descriptors :-)
In addition, when calling an inferior function, we no longer need
to provide its TOC in r2. Instead, ELFv2 code expects to be called
with r12 pointing to the code address itself.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_linux_init_abi): Only call
set_gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr and
set_gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special for ELFv1.
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_param): Only handle
function descriptors on ELFv1.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call): Likewise. On ELFv2,
set up r12 at function entry.
This is the first patch of a series to implement support for the
PowerPC ELFv2 ABI. While powerpc64le-linux will use ELFv2, and
the existing powerpc64-linux code will continue to use ELFv1,
in theory ELFv2 is also defined for big-endian systems (and
ELFv1 was also defined for little-endian systems).
Therefore this patch adds a new tdep->elf_abi variable to decide
which ABI version to use. This is detected from the ELF header
e_flags value; if this is not present, we default to ELFv2 on
little-endian and ELFv1 otherwise.
This patch does not yet introduce any actual difference in GDB's
handling of the two ABIs. Those will be added by the remainder
of this patch series.
For an overview of the changes in ELFv2, have a look at the
comments in the patch series that added ELFv2 to GCC, starting at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01144.html
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-tdep.h (enum powerpc_elf_abi): New data type.
(struct gdbarch_tdep): New member elf_abi.
* rs6000-tdep.c: Include "elf/ppc64.h".
(rs6000_gdbarch_init): Detect ELF ABI version.
The powerpc64le-linux ABI specifies that when a 128-bit DFP value is
passed in a pair of floating-point registers, the first register holds
the most-significant part of the value. This is as opposed to the
usual rule on little-endian systems, where the first register would
hold the least-significant part.
This affects two places in GDB, the read/write routines for the
128-bit DFP pseudo-registers, and the function call / return
sequence. For the former, current code already distinguishes
between big- and little-endian targets, but gets the latter
wrong. This is presumably because *GCC* also got it wrong,
and GDB matches the old GCC behavior. But GCC is now fixed:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg02145.html
so GDB needs to be fixed too. (Old code shouldn't really be
an issue since there is no code "out there" so far that uses
dfp128 on little-endian ...)

* gdb.arch/powerpc-d128-regs.exp: Enable on powerpc64*-*.
Passing a 32-bit DFP in register needs to use the least-significant part
of the register. Like with a previous patch that addressed the same
issue for small structs, this patch makes sure the appropriate offset
is used on little-endian systems.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_freg): Use correct
offset on little-endian when passing _Decimal32.
(ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value_base): Likewise for return values.
Many VSX test were failing on powerpc64le-linux, since -as opposed to the
AltiVec tests- there never were little-endian versions of the test patterns.
This patch adds such patterns, along the lines of altivec-regs.exp.
In addition, there is an actual code change required: For those VSX
registers that overlap a floating-point register, the FP register
overlaps the most-significant half of the VSX register both on big-
and little-endian systems. However, on little-endian systems, that
half is stored at an offset of 8 bytes (not 0). This works already
for the "real" FP registers, but current code gets it wrong for
the "extended" pseudo FP register GDB generates for the second
half of the VSX register bank.
This patch updates the corresponding pseudo read/write routines
to take the appropriate offset into consideration.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-tdep.c (efpr_pseudo_register_read): Use correct offset
of the overlapped FP register within the VSX register on little-
endian platforms.
(efpr_pseudo_register_write): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/vsx-regs.exp: Check target endianness. Provide variants
of the test patterns for use on little-endian systems.
A couple of AltiVec tests fail spuriously on powerpc64le-linux, because
they compare against an incorrect pattern. Note that those tests already
contain little-endian variants of the patterns, but those seem to have
bit-rotted a bit: when outputting a vector, GDB no longer omits trailing
zero elements (as it used to do in the past).
This patch updates the pattern to the new GDB output behavior.
In addition, the patch updates the endian test to use the new
gdb_test_multiple logic instead of gdb_expect.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/altivec-regs.exp: Use gdb_test_multiple for endian test.
(decimal_vector): Fix for little-endian.
When passing a small structure in a GPR, the ABI specifies that it
should be passed in the least-significant bytes of the register
(or stack slot). On big-endian systems, this means the value
needs to be stored at an offset, which is what current code does.
However, on little-endian systems, the least-significant bytes are
addresses with offset 0. This patch fixes that.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (ppc64_sysv_abi_push_val): Use correct
offset on little-endian when passing small structures.
This patch refactors the ppc64 function call and return value handling code
in ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The main problem to be addressed by this refactoring
is the code duplication caused by certain aggregate types:
According to the ABI, some types are to be decomposed into component types
for parameter and return value handling. For example, complex types are
to be passed as if the real and imaginary component were separate arguments.
Similarly, certain OpenCL vector types are passed as if they were multiple
separate arguments of the vector element type. With the new ELFv2 ABI,
there is another case: "homogeneous aggregates" (e.g. a struct containing
4 floats) are passed in multiple floating point registers as well.
Unfortunately, the current code is not structured to easily model these
ABI properties. For example, code to pass complex values re-implements
code to pass the underlying (floating-point) type. This has already
led to some unfortunate code duplication, and with the addition of
ELFv2 ABI support, I would have had to add yet more such duplication.
To avoid that, I've decided to refactor the code in order to re-use
subroutines that handle the "base" types when handling those aggregate
types. This was not intended to cause any difference on current
(ELFv1) ABI code, but in fact it fixes a bug:
FAIL: gdb.base/varargs.exp: print find_max_float_real(4, fc1, fc2, fc3, fc4)
This was caused by the old code in ppc64_sysv_abi_push_float incorrectly
handling floating-point arguments to vararg routines, which just happens
to work out correctly automatically in the refactored code ...

This implements a work-around for an icache bug on 476 that can cause
execution of stale instructions when control falls through from one
page to the next. The idea is to prevent such fall-through by
replacing the last instruction on a page with a branch to a patch
area containing the instruction, then branch to the next page.
The patch also fixes a number of bugs in the existing support for long
branch trampolines.
