Indicate gaps in the trace due to decode errors. Internally, a gap is
represented as a btrace function segment without instructions and with a
non-zero format-specific error code.
Show the gap when traversing the instruction or function call history.
Also indicate gaps in "info record".
It looks like this:
(gdb) info record
Active record target: record-btrace
Recording format: Branch Trace Store.
Buffer size: 64KB.
Recorded 32 instructions in 5 functions (1 gaps) for thread 1 (process 7182).

Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user. The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.
The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size. The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.
Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

This is another event-loop/async related problem exposed by the patch
that made 'query' use gdb_readline_wrapper (588dcc3edb).
The problem is that even though gdb_readline_wrapper disables
target-async while the secondary prompt is in progress, the record
target's async event source is left marked. So when
gdb_readline_wrapper nests an event loop to process input, it may
happen that that event loop ends up processing a target event while
GDB is not really ready for it. Here's the relevant part of the
backtrace showing the root issue in action:
...

With my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series, I'm also seeing
gdb.server/ext-attach.exp fail occasionally due to the same issue.
The first part of the fix is for target_async implementations to make
sure to remove/unmark all target-related event sources from the event
loop.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to
"info threads"), it calls update_thread_list:
update_thread_list (void)
{
prune_threads ();
target_find_new_threads ();
update_threads_executing ();
}
And then prune_threads does:
prune_threads (void)
{
struct thread_info *tp, *next;
for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next)
{
next = tp->next;
if (!thread_alive (tp))
delete_thread (tp->ptid);
}
}
Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive.
E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not
a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls...
With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends
up generating one T packet per thread:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK
Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n
That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method
implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target
threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to
GDB's thread list.
This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads
to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may
implement pruning dead threads however it wants.
Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the
patch renames it to target_update_thread_list.
The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet.
It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of
target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op.

This makes target_ops::to_open take a const string and then fixes the

There were a few of these I could not build. However I eyeballed it
and in any case the fixes should generally be trivial.
This is based on the patch to fix up the target debugging for to_open,
because that changes gdb to not directly install to_open as the target

This patch cleans up some minor inconsistencies in target delegation.
It's primary purpose is to avoid confusion in the code. A few spots
were checking the "beneath" target; however this can only be NULL for
the dummy target, so such tests are not needed. Some other spots were
iterating over the beneath targets, looking for a method
implementation. This is not needed for methods handled by
make-target-delegates, as there is always an implementation.

When generating a core file using the "generate-core-file" command while

Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock step: get to main in new image (GDB internal error)
The assertion is correct. The issue is that GDB is mistakenly trying
to switch back to an exited thread, that was previously stepping when
it exited. This is exactly the sort of thing the test wants to make
sure doesn't happen:
# Now set a breakpoint at `main', and step over the execl call. The
# breakpoint at main should be reached. GDB should not try to revert
# back to the old thread from the old image and resume stepping it
We don't see this bug with schedlock off only because a different
sequence of events makes GDB manage to delete the thread instead of
marking it exited.
This particular internal error can be fixed by making the loop over
all threads in switch_back_to_stepped_thread skip exited threads.
But, looking over other ALL_THREADS users, all either can or should be
skipping exited threads too. So for simplicity, this patch replaces
ALL_THREADS with a new macro that skips exited threads itself, and
updates everything to use it.

A patch in the target cleanup series caused a regression when using
record with target-async. Version 4 of the patch is here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00159.html
The immediate problem is that record supplies to_can_async_p and
to_is_async_p methods, but does not supply a to_async method. So,
when target-async is set, record claims to support async -- but if the
underlying target does not support async, then the to_async method
call will end up in that method's default implementation, namely
tcomplain.
This worked previously because the record target used to provide a
to_async method; one that (erroneously, only at push time) checked the
other members of the target stack, and then simply dropped to_async
calls in the "does not implement async" case.
My first thought was to simply drop tcomplain as the default for
to_async. This works, but Pedro pointed out that the only reason
record has to supply to_can_async_p and to_is_async_p is that these
default to using the find_default_run_target machinery -- and these
defaults are only needed by "run" and "attach".
So, a nicer solution presents itself: change run and attach to
explicitly call into the default run target when needed; and change
to_is_async_p and to_can_async_p to default to "return 0". This makes
the target stack simpler to use and lets us remove the method
implementations from record. This is also in harmony with other plans
for the target stack; namely trying to reduce the impact of
find_default_run_target. This approach makes it clear that
find_default_is_async_p is not needed -- it is asking whether a target
that may not even be pushed is actually async, which seems like a
nonsensical question.
While an improvement, this approach proved to introduce the same bug
when using the core target. Looking a bit deeper, the issue is that
code in "attach" and "run" may need to use either the current target
stack or the default run target -- but different calls into the target
API in those functions could wind up querying different targets.
This new patch makes the target to use more explicit in "run" and
"attach". Then these commands explicitly make the needed calls
against that target. This ensures that a single target is used for
all relevant operations. This lets us remove a couple find_default_*
functions from various targets, including the dummy target. I think
this is a decent understandability improvement.
One issue I see with this patch is that the new calls in "run" and
"attach" are not very much like the rest of the target API. I think
fundamentally this is due to bad factoring in the target API, which
may need to be fixed for multi-target. Tackling that seemed ambitious
for a regression fix.
While working on this I noticed that there don't seem to be any test
cases that involve both target-async and record, so this patch changes
break-precsave.exp to add some. It also changes corefile.exp to add
some target-async tests; these pass with current trunk and with this
patch applied, but fail with the v1 patch.
This patch differs from v4 in that it moves initialization of
to_can_async_p and to_supports_non_stop into inf-child, adds some
assertions to complete_target_initialization, and adds some comments
to target.h.

to_xfer_partial interface, so _E_ looks odd. This patch is to

on the value of 'enum target_xfer_status', so it should be safe.

This patch replaces some code in the record targets with target method
delegation.
record-full.c stores pointers to many target methods when the record
target is pushed. Then it later delegates some calls via these. This
is wrong because it violates the target stack contract. In particular
it is ok to unpush a target at any stratum, but record-full does not
keep track of this, so it could potentially call into an unpushed
target.
This patch fixes the problem by using the newly-introduced generic
approach to target delegation for the methods in question.

This patch does the conversion of to_xfer_partial from
LONGEST (*to_xfer_partial) (struct target_ops *ops,
enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len);
to
enum target_xfer_status (*to_xfer_partial) (struct target_ops *ops,
enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len, ULONGEST *xfered_len);
It changes to_xfer_partial return the transfer status and the transfered
length by *XFERED_LEN. Generally, the return status has three stats,
- TARGET_XFER_OK,
- TARGET_XFER_EOF,
- TARGET_XFER_E_XXXX,
See the comments to them in 'enum target_xfer_status'. Note that
Pedro suggested not name TARGET_XFER_DONE, as it is confusing,
compared with "TARGET_XFER_OK". We finally name it TARGET_XFER_EOF.
With this change, GDB core can handle unavailable data in a convenient
way.
The rationale behind this change was mentioned here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00761.html
Consider an object/value like this:
0 100 150 200 512
DDDDDDDDDDDxxxxxxxxxDDDDDD...DDIIIIIIIIIIII..III
where D is valid data, and xxx is unavailable data, and I is beyond
the end of the object (Invalid). Currently, if we start the
xfer at 0, requesting, say 512 bytes, we'll first get back 100 bytes.
The xfer machinery then retries fetching [100,512), and gets back
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE. That's sufficient when you're either
interested in either having the whole of the 512 bytes available,
or erroring out. But, in this scenario, we're interested in
the data at [150,512). The problem is that the last
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE gives us no indication where to
start the read next. We'd need something like:
get me [0,512) >>>
<<< here's [0,100), *xfered_len is 100, returns TARGET_XFER_OK
get me [100,512) >>> (**1)
<<< [100,150) is unavailable, *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE.
get me [150,512) >>>
<<< here's [150,200), *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_OK.
get me [200,512) >>>
<<< no more data, return TARGET_XFER_EOF.
This naturally implies pushing down the decision of whether
to return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE or something else
down to the target. (Which kinds of leads back to tfile
itself reading from RO memory from file (though we could
export a function in exec.c for that that tfile delegates to,
instead of re-adding the old code).
Beside this change, we also add a macro TARGET_XFER_STATUS_ERROR_P to
check whether a status is an error or not, to stop using "status < 0".
This patch also eliminates the comparison between status and 0.
No target implementations to to_xfer_partial adapts this new
interface. The interface still behaves as before.

The to_teardown_btrace target method is used to free btrace resources
during shutdown when target record has already been unpushed and we
can't reliably talk to a remote target to disable branch tracing.
Tracing resources are freed for each thread when the thread is removed;
both on the GDB side and on the gdbserver side.
In the remote case, the remote target that provides to_teardown_btrace
to free the GDB side resources has already been unpushed when threads
are destroyed. This results in a complaint "You can't do this ..." and
in a few bytes of memory leaked for each thread.
Initiate btrace teardown in record_btrace_close, so the remote target is
still in place.

* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_close): Call btrace_teardown
for all threads.
Provide to_resume and to_wait target methods for the btrace record target
to allow reverse stepping and replay support.
Replay is limited in the sense that only stepping and source correlation
are supported. We do not record data and thus can not show variables.
Non-stop mode is not working. Do not allow record-btrace in non-stop mode.

The btrace record target shows the branch trace from the location of the first
branch destination. This is the first BTS records.
After adding incremental updates, we can now add a dummy record for the current
PC when we enable tracing so we show the trace from the location where branch
tracing has been enabled.
