It's possible for the section grouping code to decide that the last

When --gc-sections is turned on during an LTO link, the .eh_frame sections
from deferred files are processed before those from the replacement files.
As a result, the section end-cap from crtendS.o is placed ahead of
the .eh_frame data from the replacement files. This patch fixes the bug
by skipping the layout of the deferred sections during GC pass 2.

When there are both PLT and GOT references to the same function symbol,
linker will create a GOTPLT slot for PLT entry and a GOT slot for GOT
reference. A run-time JUMP_SLOT relocation is created to update the
GOTPLT slot and a run-time GLOB_DAT relocation is created to update the
GOT slot. Both JUMP_SLOT and GLOB_DAT relocations will apply the same
symbol value to GOTPLT and GOT slots, respectively, at run-time.
This optimization combines GOTPLT and GOT slots into a single GOT slot
and removes the run-time JUMP_SLOT relocation. It replaces the regular
PLT entry:
indirect jump [GOTPLT slot]
push relocation index
jump PLT0
with an GOT PLT entry with an indirect jump via the GOT slot:
indirect jump [GOT slot]
nop
and resolves PLT reference to the GOT PLT entry.
We must avoid this optimization if pointer equality is needed since
we don't clear symbol value in this case and the dynamic linker won't
update the GOT slot. Otherwise, the resulting binary will get into an
infinite loop at run-time.

A recent change...
commit 1a853c5224
Date: Wed Nov 12 10:10:49 2014 +0000
Subject: make "permanent breakpoints" per location and disableable
... broke function calls on sparc-elf when running over QEMU. Any
function call should demonstrate the problem.
For instance, seen from the debugger:
(gdb) call pn(1234)
[Inferior 1 (Remote target) exited normally]
The program being debugged exited while in a function called from GDB.
Evaluation of the expression containing the function
And seen from QEMU:
qemu: fatal: Trap 0x02 while interrupts disabled, Error state
[register dump removed]
What happens in this case is that GDB sets the inferior function call
by not only creating the dummy frame, but also writing a breakpoint
instruction at the return address for our function call. See infcall.c:
/* Write a legitimate instruction at the point where the infcall
breakpoint is going to be inserted. While this instruction
is never going to be executed, a user investigating the
memory from GDB would see this instruction instead of random
uninitialized bytes. We chose the breakpoint instruction
as it may look as the most logical one to the user and also
valgrind 3.7.0 needs it for proper vgdb inferior calls.
If software breakpoints are unsupported for this target we
leave the user visible memory content uninitialized. */
bp_addr_as_address = bp_addr;
bp_bytes = gdbarch_breakpoint_from_pc (gdbarch, &bp_addr_as_address,
&bp_size);
if (bp_bytes != NULL)
write_memory (bp_addr_as_address, bp_bytes, bp_size);
This instruction triggers a change introduced by the commit above,
where we consider bp locations as being permanent breakpoints
if there is already a breakpoint instruction at that address:
+ if (bp_loc_is_permanent (loc))
+ {
+ loc->inserted = 1;
+ loc->permanent = 1;
+ }
As a result, when resuming the program's execution for the inferior
function call, GDB decides that it does not need to insert a breakpoint
at this address, expecting the target to just report a SIGTRAP when
trying to execute that instruction.
But unfortunately for us, at least some versions of QEMU for SPARC
just terminate the execution entirely instead of reporting a breakpoint,
thus producing the behavior reported here.
Although it appears like QEMU might be misbehaving and should therefore
be fixed (to be verified) from the user's point of view, the recent
change does introduce a regression. So this patch tries to mitigate
a bit the damage by handling such infcall breakpoints as special and
making sure that they are never considered permanent, thus restoring
the previous behavior specifically for those breakpoints.
The option of not writing the breakpoint instructions in the first
place was considered, and would probably work also. But the comment
associated to it seems to indicate that there is still reason to
keep it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (bp_loc_is_permanent): Return 0 if LOC corresponds
to a bp_call_dummy breakpoint type.
Tested on x86_64-linux. Also testing on sparc-elf/QEMU using
AdaCore's testsuite.
SA_RESTART allows system calls to be restarted across a signal handler.
By specifying this flag we fix the issue where if the user is being
prompted to answer yes or no, and the terminal gets resized in the
meantime, the prompt will think that the user sent an EOF and so it will
take the default action for that prompt (in the case of the quit prompt,
it will quit GDB).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-win.c (tui_initialize_win): Specify SA_RESTART when
registering the signal handler.
This patch fixes the annoying bug where key sequences such as Alt_F or
Alt_B (go forward or backwards by a word) do not behave promptly in TUI.
You have to press a third key in order for the key sequence to register.
This is mostly ncurses' fault. Calling wgetch() normally causes ncurses
to read only a single key from stdin. However if the key read is the
start-sequence key (^[ a.k.a. ESC) then wgetch() reads TWO keys from
stdin, storing the 2nd key into an internal FIFO buffer and returning
the start-sequence key. The extraneous read of the 2nd key makes us
miss its corresponding stdin event, so the event loop blocks until a
third key is pressed. This explains why such key sequences do not
behave promptly in TUI.
To fix this issue, we must somehow compensate for the missed stdin event
corresponding to the 2nd byte of a key sequence. This patch achieves
this by hacking up the stdin event handler to conditionally execute the
readline callback multiple times in a row. This is done via a new
global variable, call_stdin_event_handler_again_p, which is set from
tui_getc() when we receive a start-sequence key and notice extra pending
input in the ncurses buffer.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

* event-top.h (call_stdin_event_handler_again_p): Declare.
* event-top.c (call_stdin_event_handler_again_p): Define.
(stdin_event_handler): Use it.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Prepare to call the stdin event

This way the user can know the index of the latest checkpoint without

In read_string, we have this line
chunksize = (len == -1 ? min (8, fetchlimit) : fetchlimit);
but chunksize is only used in the block that lne == -1, so IWBN to
move chunksize to the block in which it is used, and simplify the
condition setting chunksize. This patch also moves 'found_nul' to
inner block. This patch also splits a paragraph of comment into two,
and move them to different condition blocks (len > 0 and len == -1)
respectively.
