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.

We have three methods to list the current remote thread list:
1. The qXfer:threads:read method (the preferred one nowadays), builds a
remote thread list while parsing the XML, and then after the XML
parsing is done, goes over the built list and adds threads GDB doesn't
know about yet to GDB's list.
2. If the qXfer method isn't available, we fallback to using the
qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo packets. When we do this, we adds threads
to GDB's list immediately as we parse the qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo
packet replies.
3. And then if the previous method isn't available either, we try the
old deprecated qL packet. This path is already looking somewhat
broken for not using remote_notice_new_inferior to add threads to
GDB's list.
This patch makes all variants work in two passes, like the qXfer
method, and then makes all variants share the code path that adds
threads to GDB's list.

...
(resume): If this is a software single-stepping arch, and
displaced-stepping is enabled, use it for all single-step
requests.
...
That means that in non-stop (or really displaced-stepping) mode, on
software single-step archs - even those that only use sss breakpoints
to deal with atomic sequences, like PPC - if we have more than one
thread single-stepping, we'll always serialize the threads'
single-steps, as only one thread may be displaced stepping at a given
time, because there's only one scratch pad.
We originally did that because GDB didn't support having multiple
threads software-single-stepping simultaneously. The previous patches
fixed that limitation, so we can now finally revert this too.

This patch makes single-step breakpoints "real" breakpoints on the
global location list.
There are several benefits to this:
- It removes the currently limitation that only 2 single-step
breakpoints can be inserted. See an example here of a discussion
around a case that wants more than 2, possibly unbounded:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00663.html
- makes software single-step work on read-only code regions.
The logic to convert a software breakpoint to a hardware breakpoint
if the memory map says the breakpoint address is in read only memory
is in insert_bp_location. Because software single-step breakpoints
bypass all that go and straight to target_insert_breakpoint, we
can't software single-step over read only memory. This patch
removes that limitation, and adds a test that makes sure that works,
by forcing a code region to read-only with "mem LOW HIGH ro" and
then stepping through that.
- Fixes PR breakpoints/9649
This is an assertion failure in insert_single_step_breakpoint in
breakpoint.c, because we may leave stale single-step breakpoints
behind on error.
The tests for stepping through read-only regions exercise the root
cause of the bug, which is that we leave single-step breakpoints
behind if we fail to insert any single-step breakpoint. Deleting
the single-step breakpoints in resume_cleanups,
delete_just_stopped_threads_infrun_breakpoints, and
fetch_inferior_event fixes this. Without that, we'd no longer hit
the assertion, as that code is deleted, but we'd instead run into
errors/warnings trying to insert/remove the stale breakpoints on
next resume.
- Paves the way to have multiple threads software single-stepping at
the same time, leaving update_global_location_list to worry about
duplicate locations.
- Makes the moribund location machinery aware of software single-step
breakpoints, paving the way to enable software single-step on
non-stop, instead of forcing serialized displaced stepping for all
single steps.
- It's generaly cleaner.
We no longer have to play games with single-step breakpoints
inserted at the same address as regular breakpoints, like we
recently had to do for 7.8. See this discussion:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00052.html.

This is a preparatory/cleanup patch that does two things:
- Renames 'delete_step_thread_step_resume_breakpoint'. The
"step_resume" part is misnomer these days, as the function deletes
other kinds of breakpoints, not just the step-resume breakpoint. A
following patch will want to make it delete yet another kind of
breakpoint, even.
- Splits out the logic of which threads get those breakpoints deleted
to a separate "for_each"-style function, so that the same following
patch may use it with a different callback.

When GDB finds out the target triggered a watchpoint, and the target
has non-continuable watchpoints, GDB sets things up to step past the
instruction that triggered the watchpoint. This is just like stepping
past a breakpoint, but goes through a different mechanism - it resumes
only the thread that needs to step past the watchpoint, but also
switches a "infwait state" global, that has the effect that the next
target_wait only wait for events only from that thread.
This forcing of a ptid to pass to target_wait obviously becomes a
bottleneck if we ever support stepping past different watchpoints
simultaneously (in separate processes).
It's also unnecessary -- the target should only return events for
threads that have been resumed; if no other thread than the one we're
stepping past the watchpoint has been resumed, then those other
threads should not report events. If we couldn't assume that, then
stepping past regular breakpoints would be broken for not likewise
forcing a similar infwait_state.
So this patch eliminates infwait_state, and instead teaches keep_going
to mark step_over_info in a way that has the breakpoints module skip
inserting watchpoints (because we're stepping past one), like it skips
breakpoints when we're stepping past one.
Tested on:
- x86_64 Fedora 20 (continuable watchpoints)
- PPC64 Fedora 18 (non-steppable watchpoints)

Don't use debug_reg_state for both:
* "intent" - what we want the debug registers to look like
* "reality" - what/which were the contents of the DR registers when
the event triggered
Reserve it for the former only, like in the GNU/Linux port.
Otherwise the core x86 debug registers code can get confused if the
inferior itself changes the debug registers since GDB last set them.
This is also a requirement for being able to set watchpoints while the
target is running, if/when we get to it on Windows. See the big
comment in x86_dr_stopped_data_address.
Seems to me this may also fixes propagating watchpoints to all threads
-- continue_one_thread only calls win32_set_thread_context (what
copies the DR registers to the thread), if something already fetched
the thread's context before. Something else may be masking this
issue, I haven't checked.
Smoke tested by running gdbserver under Wine, connecting to it from
GNU/Linux, and checking that I could trigger a watchpoint as expected.

On 32-bit S390 targets the longjmp target address "naturally" has the
most significant bit set. That bit indicates the addressing mode and
is not part of the address itself. Thus, in analogy with similar
cases (like when computing the caller PC in
insert_step_resume_breakpoint_at_caller), this change removes
non-address bits from the longjmp target address before using it as a
breakpoint address.
Note that there are two ways for determining the longjmp target
address: via a probe or via a gdbarch method. This change only
affects the probe method, because it is assumed that the address
returned by the gdbarch method is usable as-is.
This change was tested together with a patch that enables longjmp
probes in glibc for S/390:

The test cases doesn't consider remote host and assumes that directory
on build also exists on host. In this patch, we only match file base
name if host is remote, otherwise, match file with dir name.
gdb/testsuite:

* gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Match file base name if host is
remote, otherwise match file name with dir name.
* gdb.python/py-symtab.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.python/python.exp: Likewise.
This patch is to clean up various gdb.python/*.exp tests, such as
removing trailing ".*" from the pattern and fix one typo I find during
reading the code.
gdb/testsuite:
2014-10-15 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.python/python.exp: Remove trailing ".*". Fix typo
locationn.
* gdb.python/py-symbol.exp: Remove trailing ".*" in the
pattern.
* gdb.python/py-symtab.exp: Likewise.
* ldlex.l (INPUTLIST): New start condition.
(comment pattern, ",", "(", ")", "AS_NEEDED")
({FILENAMECHAR1}{FILENAMECHAR}*, "-l"{FILENAMECHAR}+)
(quoted string pattern, whitespace pattern): Add INPUTLIST to
valid start conditions.
(<INPUTLIST>"="{FILENAMECHAR1}{FILENAMECHAR}*): New NAME rule.
(ldlex_inputlist): New start-condition-setter function.
* ldgram.y (input_list1): Rename from input_list. All recursive
use changed.
(input_list): New wrapper rule for input_list1, setting
INPUTLIST lexer state for the duration of parsing input_list1.
All this to say INPUT(=/path/to/file) and not be forced to use
INPUT("=/path/to/file") whenever there's a need to force a sysroot-
prefix. Still, IMHO it seems better to make use of a previously
invalid syntax and not only change the meaning of quoted =-prefixed
paths (though arguably that's not very useful before this patchset).
This got a little bit hairier than I'd expected: I had to add a new
lexer state (aka. start condition) to avoid a first "=" being lexed as
the token "=", despite that not making sense in constructs expecting
file-names in the first place. (The grammar doesn't allow for
expressions in any part of those lists.) I guess I *could* have made
it work using that token anyway, but I didn't like the idea that you
would be able to separate the "=" from the rest of the file-name with
whitespace.
* ldlang.c (lang_add_input_file): If the first character in the
filename is '=', prepend the sysroot and force the context of that
input file to non-sysroot.
The "input_flags.sysrooted = 0" thing described in the comment is
covered by the testsuite part ("root-anchored =-prefixed script
inside"), but only observable for --with-sysroot configurations.
* ld-scripts/sysroot-prefix.exp, ld-scripts/sysroot-prefix-x.s,
ld-scripts/sysroot-prefix-y.s: New files.
N.B: full coverage is only possible with complementary use of
--with-sysroot when configuring.
* ld.texinfo (input files in linker scripts): When mentioning
behavior of first character "/" on scripts within sysroot, also
mention that effect can be forced by prefixing with "=" and
refer to SEARCH_DIR.
If src contains n or more bytes, strncat() writes n+1 bytes to dest
(n from src plus the terminating null byte). Therefore, the size of
dest must be at least strlen(dest)+n+1.
* config/tc-tic4x.c (md_assemble): Correct strncat size.
When trying to evaluate an expression which adds a pointer and
an integral, the evaluation succeeds if the pointer is on
the left handside of the operator, but not when it is on the right
handside:
(gdb) p something'address + 0
$1 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 + something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Same issue when doing subtractions:
(gdb) p something'address - 0
$2 = (system.address) 0x613418 <pck.something>
(gdb) p 0 - something'address
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This patch enhances the Ada expression evaluator to handle
these two situations.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_evaluate_subexp) <BINOP_ADD>: Add handling
of the case where the second operand is a pointer.
<BINOP_SUB>: Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/addr_arith: New testcase.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
This patch is a response to what I commented on:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00046.html>
When reviewing Jose's USDT probe support patches. Basically, in his
patch he had to create dummy functions for the set_semaphore and the
clear_semaphore methods of probe_ops (gdb/probe.h), because those
functions were called inconditionally from inside gdb/breakpoint.c and
gdb/tracepoint.c. However, the semaphore concept may not apply to all
types of probes, and this is the case here: USDT probes do not have
semaphores (although SDT probes do).
Anyway, this is a simple (almost obvious) patch to guard the call to
{set,clear}_semaphore. It does not introduce any regression on a
Fedora 20 x86_64.
I will apply it in a few days in case there is no comment.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2014-10-14 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (bkpt_probe_insert_location): Call set_semaphore
only if it is not NULL.
(bkpt_probe_remove_location): Likewise, for clear_semaphore.
* probe.h (struct probe_ops) <set_semaphore>: Update comment.
(struct probe_ops) <clear_semaphore>: Likewise.
* tracepoint.c (start_tracing): Call set_semaphore only if it is
not NULL.
(stop_tracing): Likewise, for clear_semaphore.
Joel contacted me offlist with a question about a warning that one of
his customers was seeing. The message came from the new
linker-debugger interface, which uses SDT probes internally. The
warning said:
(gdb) run
[...]
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This should not have happened in the environment the customer was
using (RHEL-6.x), so I found it strange. Another thing caught my
attention: the last message, saying "Argument to arithmetic operation
not a number or boolean.".
Joel kindly investigated the issue further, and found the answer for
this. To quote him:
(gdb) set lang c
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
$4 = (void *) 0xffffd0f8
So far so good. But...
(gdb) set lang ada
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Ooops! Interestingly, if you revert the order of the operands...
(gdb) p $ebp+48
$5 = (access void) 0xffffd0f8
So the problem is doing pointer arithmetics when the language is set
to Ada.
I remembered that, during the parsing and the evaluation of SDT probe
arguments, the code sets the language as current_language, because, at
that time, I thought it was not necessary to worry about the language
given that the code implements its own parser. I was wrong. So here
is a patch to fix that, by setting the language as C, which should
guarantee that the maths are done in the right way (TM).
It was somewhat hard to find a reproducer for this issue. In the end,
what I had to do was to create a testcase that used the %ebp register
on some displacement (e.g., "-4(%ebp)"), which finally triggered the
bug. I am not sure why I could not trigger it when using other
registers, but I did not want to spend too much time investigating
this issue, which seemed like an Ada issue. Also, because of this
peculiar way to trigger the problem, the testcase only covers x86-like
targets (i.e., i*86 and x86_64 with -m32).
Joel kindly tested this for me, and it worked. I also ran a full
regression test here on my Fedora 20 x86_64, and everything is fine.
I will push this patch in a few days if there are no comments.

Hi,
I see the following fails on arm-none-eabi target,
-var-list-children --simple-values struct_declarations ^M
^done,numchild="11",children=[...,child={name="struct_declarations.func_ptr_struct",exp="func_ptr_struct",numchild="0",value="0x0 <_ftext>",type="struct _struct_decl (*)(int, char *, long)",thread-id="1"},child={name="struct_declarations.func_ptr_ptr",exp="func_ptr_ptr",numchild="0",value="0x0 <_ftext>",type="struct _struct_decl *(*)(int, char *, long)",thread-id="1"},...

(gdb) ^M
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-var-display.exp: set format variable weird.func_ptr_ptr in natural
In the test, "0x0" is expected, but "0x0 <_ftext>" is in the output.
Function pointers point to address zero, and tests assume there is no
symbol on address zero. However, on my arm-none-eabi target, there is
a code symbol _ftext on address zero, and test fails. Note that "set
print symbol off" doesn't take effect for function pointer.
int (*f) (void);
f = main;
(gdb) p f
$1 = (int (*)(void)) 0x8048400 <main>
(gdb) set print symbol off
(gdb) p f
$2 = (int (*)(void)) 0x8048400 <main>
In order to erase the difference, we can assign some function address
explicitly to function pointer, so the test behaves in a unique way.
In this patch, we assign nothing1 and nothing2 to function pointers
func_ptr_struct and func_ptr_ptr respectively, and update test as the
source file is changed.

Hi,
I modify mi-var-child.exp and find that the pattern to match the output
of -var-update * is quite complicated. However, it can be simplified by
using mi_varobj_update. That is what this patch does.
gdb/testsuite:
2014-10-14 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.mi/mi-var-child.exp: Use mi_varobj_update to simplify
tests.
* gdb.mi/mi2-var-child.exp: Likewise.
%<number>s as an fscanf format does not include the trailing NULL.
PATH_MAX does include the trailing NULL.
PR 17453
* readelf.c (process_program_headers): Correct fscanf format used
for interpreter.
This test will pass if the CU is the first CU in the binary.
If libc debugging info is installed it may not be, in which case
the CU offset values are wrong.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-op-out-param.S: Make DW_FORM_ref4 values be the offset
from the start of the CU.
