Add a struct to describe the branch trace configuration and use it for
enabling branch tracing.
The user will be able to set configuration fields for each tracing format
to be used for new threads.
The actual configuration that is active for a given thread will be shown
in the "info record" command.
At the moment, the configuration struct only contains a format field
that is set to the only available format.
The format is the only configuration option that can not be set via set
commands. It is given as argument to the "record btrace" command when
starting recording.

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.

The TUI terminal state becomes corrupted (e.g. key sequences such as
Alt_F and Alt_B no longer work) when one attaches to an inferior process
(via "run" or "attach") from within TUI. This terminal corruption
remains until you switch out of TUI mode.
This happens because the terminal state is not properly saved when
switching to and out from TUI mode. Although the functions tui_enable()
and tui_disable() both call the function target_terminal_save_ours() to
save the terminal state, this function is a no-op unless GDB has already
attached to an inferior process. This is because only the "native"
target has a useful implementation of target_terminal_save_ours()
(namely child_terminal_save_ours()) and we only have the "native" target
in our target vector if GDB has already attached to an inferior process.
So without an inferior process, switching to and from TUI mode does not
actually save the terminal state. Therefore when you attach to an
inferior process from within TUI mode, the proper terminal state is not
restored (after swapping from the inferior's terminal back to the GDB
terminal).
To fix this we just have to ensure that the terminal state is always
being properly saved when switching from and to TUI mode. To achieve
this, this patch removes the polymorphic function
target_terminal_save_ours() and replaces it with a regular function
gdb_save_tty_state() that always saves the terminal state.
Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu by running "make check", no new
regressions.

* target.h (struct target_ops::to_terminal_save_ours): Remove
declaration.

The target debug methods are inconsistently maintained. Most to_*
methods have some kind of targetdebug awareness, but not all of them
do. The ones that do vary in the quantity and quality of output they
generate.
This patch changes most of the target debug methods to be
automatically generated. All the arguments are printed, and separate
lines are printed for entering and existing the outermost call to the
target stack.
For example now you'd see:
-> multi-thread->to_terminal_ours (...)
-> multi-thread->to_is_async_p (...)
<- multi-thread->to_is_async_p (0x1ebb580) = 1
<- multi-thread->to_terminal_ours (0x1ebb580)
-> multi-thread->to_thread_address_space (...)
<- multi-thread->to_thread_address_space (0x1ebb580, 26802) = 1
In this case you can see nested calls. The "multi-thread" on the left
hand side is the topmost target's shortname.
There are some oddities with this patch. I'm on the fence about it
all, I really just wrote it on a whim.
It's not simple to convert every possible method, since a few don't
participate in target delegation.
Printing is done by type, so I introduced some new
debug-printing-specific typedefs to handle cases where it is nicer to
do something else.
On the plus side, this lays the groundwork for making targetdebug
affect every layer of the target stack. The idea would be to wrap
each target_ops in the stack with its own debug_target, and then you
could see calls propagate down the stack and back up; I suppose with
indentation to make it prettier. (That said there are some gotchas
lurking in this idea due to target stack introspection.)

This converts to_get_thread_local_address to use

to be a problem; in fact perhaps the final call to 'error' in
target_translate_tls_address should be changed to call
generic_tls_error.

This makes arguments to to_get_bookmark and to_goto_bookmark const and

This does two things:
1. Adds a test.
Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.
2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.
Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.
I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

* remote.c (PACKET_qCRC): New enum value.
(remote_verify_memory): Don't send qCRC if the target has no
execution. Use packet_support/packet_ok. If the target doesn't
support the qCRC packet, fallback to a deep memory copy.
(compare_sections_command): Say "target image" instead of "remote
executable".
(_initialize_remote): Add PACKET_qCRC to the list of config
packets that have no associated command. Extend comment.
* target.c (simple_verify_memory, default_verify_memory): New
function.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_verify_memory>: Default to
default_verify_memory.
(simple_verify_memory): New declaration.

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.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

This patch is to change the default implementation of to_traceframe_info
from 'return NULL' to tcomplain, which is intended. If new target
supports tracepoint, this method should be implemented, otherwise,
an error is thrown.

* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_traceframe_info>: Use
TARGET_DEFAULT_NORETURN (tcomplain ()).
* target-delegates.c: Regenerated.
This converts to_get_unwinder and to_get_tailcall_unwinder to methods
and arranges for them to use the new delegation scheme.
This just lets us avoid having a differing style (neither new-style
nor INHERIT) of delegation in the tree.
2014-02-19 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* target.c (target_get_unwinder): Rewrite.
(target_get_tailcall_unwinder): Rewrite.
* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_to_get_unwinder): New function.
(record_btrace_to_get_tailcall_unwinder): New function.
(init_record_btrace_ops): Update.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_get_unwinder,
to_get_tailcall_unwinder>: Now function pointers. Use
TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN.
This converts to_decr_pc_after_break to the new style of delegation,
removing forward_target_decr_pc_after_break.

* record-btrace.c (record_btrace_decr_pc_after_break): Delegate
directly.
* target-delegates.c: Rebuild.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_decr_pc_after_break>: Use
TARGET_DEFAULT_FUNC.
* target.c (default_target_decr_pc_after_break): Rename from
forward_target_decr_pc_after_break. Simplify.
(target_decr_pc_after_break): Rely on delegation.
This changes instances of TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN(0) to
TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN(NULL) when appropriate. The use of "0" was a
relic from an earlier implementation of make-target-delegates; and I
didn't want to go back through the long patch series, fixing up
conflicts, just to change this small detail.
2014-02-19 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>
* target-delegates.c: Rebuild.
* target.h (struct target_ops) <to_extra_thread_info,
to_thread_name, to_pid_to_exec_file, to_get_section_table,
to_memory_map, to_read_description, to_traceframe_info>: Use NULL,
not 0, in TARGET_DEFAULT_RETURN.
This switches to_read_description to the "new normal" delegation
scheme. This one was a bit trickier than the other changes due to the
way that target_read_description handled delegation. I examined all
the target implementations of to_read_description and changed the ones
returning NULL to instead delegate.
