One could not call IFUNCs (=indirect functions) from the compiled injected
code. Either it errored with:
gdb command line:1:1: error: function return type cannot be function
or it just called the IFUNC dispatcher in normal way, returning real function
implementation address instead of the function return value (and thus no
function was called).

When doing finish in a function, if gdb fails to return a value, gdb
also fails at printing the value type if this type is a struct.
For example :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: . Cannot determine contents
This patch fixes this by calling type_to_string to print the type
so that we can support these types.
This patch returns the following example output :
(gdb) fin
....
Value returned has type: struct test. Cannot determine contents

I was looking at a current glibc using objdump today and saw an odd
plt call stub.
0000000000044d80 <00000033.plt_call.__strchrnul>:
44d80: f8 41 00 28 std r2,40(r1)
44d84: e9 82 8c f8 ld r12,-29448(r2)
44d88: 7d 89 03 a6 mtctr r12
44d8c: e8 42 8d 00 ld r2,-29440(r2)
44d90: 28 22 00 00 cmpldi r2,0
44d94: 4c e2 04 20 bnectr+
44d98: 48 13 84 f0 b 17d288 <realloc@plt>
What? It doesn't branch to __strchrnul@plt on finding a zero r2?
Turns out this isn't a real problem since the stub is for loading an
ifunc, so will not be lazily resolved and thus r2 will never be zero.
Of course, that means the thread-safety check is unnecessary.
I also tweak the special __tls_get_addr_opt call stub here, to
restore r2 immediately after the call. Not doing that might affect
eh_frame unwinding.
* elf64-ppc.c (plt_stub_size, build_plt_stub): Don't build
thread-safe stubs for iplt.
(build_tls_get_addr_stub): Restore r2 immediately after call.
- Use signal frame sniffers that look for the signal trampoline
instruction sequence to detect most signal frames.
- FreeBSD kernels between 9.2 and 10.1 inclusive do not include the
signal trampoline code in process core dumps. To detect signal
frames for core dumps under these kernels, use the
kern.proc.sigtramp.<pid> sysctl to fetch the location of the signal
trampoline in the gdb process and assume that PC values within this
location are signal frames. This depends on that location being
identical for all binaries.

Adds support to the assembler to write out data for tracking the use of

and written out to a section ".avr.prop" (if there's anything to write
out).
This patch does not add any tests. The next patch in this series will
add a better mechanism for visualising the contents of .avr.prop which
will make writing tests much easier.
This patch also does not make any use of this collected data, that will
also come along in a later patch; the intended consumer is the linker,
during linker relaxation this information will be used to ensure that
the .org and .align directives are honoured.

I'm going to add an alternate mechanism of breakpoint trap
identification to 'check_stopped_by_breakpoint' that does not rely on
checking the instruction at PC. The mechanism currently used to tell
whether we're stepping over a permanent breakpoint doesn't fit in that
new method. This patch redoes the whole logic in a different way that
works with both old and new methods, in essence moving the "stepped
permanent breakpoint" detection "one level up". It makes lower level
check_stopped_by_breakpoint always the adjust the PC, and then has
linux_wait_1 advance the PC past the breakpoint if necessary. This
ends up being better also because this now handles
non-decr_pc_after_break targets too. Before, such targets would get
stuck forever reexecuting the breakpoint instruction.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-02-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Don't check if the
thread was doing a step-over; always adjust the PC if
we stepped over a permanent breakpoint.
(linux_wait_1): If we stepped over breakpoint that was on top of a
permanent breakpoint, manually advance the PC past it.
Because delete_breakpoints uses gdb_expect directly, an internal error
results in slow timeouts instead of quickly bailing out. This patch
rewrites the procedure to use gdb_test_multiple instead, while
preserving the existing general logic ("delete breakpoints" + "info
breakpoints").

* lib/gdb.exp (delete_breakpoints): Rewrite using
gdb_test_multiple.
We need to be careful with parsing optional stop reasons that start
with an hex character ("awatch", "core"), as GDBs that aren't aware of
them parse them as real numbers. That's silly of course, given that
there should be a colon after those magic "numbers". So if strtol on
"abbz:" doesn't return "first invalid char" pointing to the colon, we
know that "abbz" isn't really a register number. It must be optional
stop info we don't know about. This adjusts GDB to work that way,
removing the need for the special casing done upfront:
/* If this packet is an awatch packet, don't parse the 'a'
as a register number. */
if (strncmp (p, "awatch", strlen("awatch")) != 0
&& strncmp (p, "core", strlen ("core") != 0))
For as long as we care about compatibility with GDB 7.9, we'll need to
continue to be careful about this, so I added a comment.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native gdbserver.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* remote.c (skip_to_semicolon): New function.
(remote_parse_stop_reply) <T stop reply>: Use it. Don't
special case the stop reasons that look like hex numbers
upfront. Instead handle real register numbers after matching
all the known stop reasons.
