This patch fixes hardware breakpoint regressions exposed by my fix for
"PR breakpoints/7143 - Watchpoint does not trigger when first set", at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-03/msg00167.html
The testsuite caught them on Linux/x86_64, at least. gdb.sum:

Actually, that patch just exposed a latent issue to "breakpoints
always-inserted off" mode, not really caused it. After that patch,
GDB no longer removes breakpoints at each internal event, thus making
some scenarios behave like breakpoint always-inserted on. The bug is
easy to trigger with always-inserted on.
The issue is that since the target-side breakpoint conditions support,
if the stub/server supports evaluating breakpoint conditions on the
target side, then GDB is sending duplicate Zx packets to the target
without removing them before, and GDBserver is not really expecting
that for Z packets other than Z0/z0. E.g., with "set breakpoint
always-inserted on" and "set debug remote 1":
(gdb) b main
Sending packet: $m410943,1#ff...Packet received: 48
Breakpoint 4 at 0x410943: file ../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c, line 3028.

And for Z1, similarly:

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sending packet: $z1,410943,1#69...Packet received: OK
^^^^^^^^^^^^
So GDB sent a bunch of Z1 packets, and then when finally removing the
breakpoint, only one z1 packet was sent. On the GDBserver side (with
monitor set debug-hw-points 1), in the Z1 case, we see:

That's one insert_watchpoint call for each Z1 packet, and then one
remove_watchpoint call for the z1 packet. Notice how ref.count
increased for each insert_watchpoint call, and then in the end, after
GDB told GDBserver to forget about the hardware breakpoint, GDBserver
ends with the the first debug register still with ref.count=4! IOW,
the hardware breakpoint is left armed on the target, while on the GDB
end it's gone. If the program happens to execute 0x410943 afterwards,
then the CPU traps, GDBserver reports the trap to GDB, and GDB not
having a breakpoint set at that address anymore, reports to the user a
spurious SIGTRAP.
This is exactly what is happening in the hbreak2.exp test, though in
that case, it's a shared library event that triggers a
breakpoint_re_set, when breakpoints are still inserted (because
nowadays GDB doesn't remove breakpoints while handling internal
events), and that recreates breakpoint locations, which likewise
forces breakpoint reinsertion and Zx packet resends...
That is a lot of bogus Zx duplication that should possibly be
addressed on the GDB side. GDB resends Zx packets because the way to
change the target-side condition, is to resend the breakpoint to the
server with the new condition. (That's an option in the packet: e.g.,
"Z1,410943,1;X3,220027" for "hbreak main if 0". The packets in the
examples above are shorter because the breakpoints don't have
conditions attached). GDB doesn't remove the breakpoint first before
reinserting it because that'd be bad for non-stop, as it'd open a
window where the inferior could miss the breakpoint. The conditions
actually haven't changed between the resends, but GDB isn't smart
enough to realize that.
(TBC, if the target doesn't support target-side conditions, then GDB
doesn't trigger these resends (init_bp_location calls
mark_breakpoint_location_modified, and that does nothing if condition
evaluation is on the host side. The resends are caused by the
'loc->condition_changed = condition_modified.' line.)
But, even if GDB was made smarter, GDBserver should really still
handle the resends anyway. So target-side conditions also aren't
really to blame. The documentation of the Z/z packets says:
"To avoid potential problems with duplicate packets, the operations
should be implemented in an idempotent way."
As such, we may want to fix GDB, but we should definitely fix
GDBserver. The fix is a prerequisite for target-side conditions on
hardware breakpoints anyway (and while at it, on watchpoints too).
GDBserver indeed already treats duplicate Z0 packets in an idempotent
way. mem-break.c has the concept of high-level and low-level
breakpoints, somewhat similar to GDB's split of breakpoints vs
breakpoint locations, and keeps track of multiple breakpoints
referencing the same address/location, for the case of an internal
GDBserver breakpoint or a tracepoint being set at the same address as
a GDB breakpoint. But, it only allows GDB to ever contribute one
reference to a software breakpoint location. IOW, if gdbserver sees a
Z0 packet for the same address where it already had a GDB breakpoint
set, then GDBserver won't create another high-level GDB breakpoint.
However, mem-break.c only tracks GDB Z0 breakpoints. The same logic
should apply to all kinds of Zx packets. Currently, gdbserver passes
down each duplicate Zx (other than Z0) request directly to the
target->insert_point routine. The x86 watchpoint support itself
refcounts watchpoint / hw breakpoint requests, to handle overlapping
watchpoints, and save debug registers. But that code doesn't (and
really shouldn't) handle the duplicate requests, assuming that for
each insert there will be a corresponding remove.
So the fix is to generalize mem-break.c to track all kinds of Zx
breakpoints, and filter out duplicates. As mentioned, this ends up
adding support for target-side conditions on hardware breakpoints and
watchpoints too (though GDB itself doesn't support the latter yet).
Probably the least obvious change in the patch is that it kind of
turns the breakpoint insert/remove APIs inside out. Before, the
target methods were only called for GDB breakpoints. The internal
breakpoint set/delete methods inserted memory breakpoints directly
bypassing the insert/remove target methods. That's not good when the
target should use a debug API to set software breakpoints, instead of
relying on GDBserver patching memory with breakpoint instructions, as
is the case of NTO.
Now removal/insertion of all kinds of breakpoints/watchpoints, either
internal, or from GDB, always go through the target methods. The
insert_point/remove_point methods no longer get passed a Z packet
type, but an internal/raw breakpoint type. They're also passed a
pointer to the raw breakpoint itself (note that's still opaque outside
mem-break.c), so that insert_memory_breakpoint /
remove_memory_breakpoint have access to the breakpoint's shadow
buffer. I first tried passing down a new structure based on GDB's
"struct bp_target_info" (actually with that name exactly), but then
decided against it as unnecessary complication.
As software/memory breakpoints work by poking at memory, when setting
a GDB Z0 breakpoint (but not internal breakpoints, as those can assume
the conditions are already right), we need to tell the target to
prepare to access memory (which on Linux means stop threads). If that
operation fails, we need to return error to GDB. Seeing an error, if
this is the first breakpoint of that type that GDB tries to insert,
GDB would then assume the breakpoint type is supported, but it may
actually not be. So we need to check whether the type is supported at
all before preparing to access memory. And to solve that, the patch
adds a new target->supports_z_point_type method that is called before
actually trying to insert the breakpoint.
Other than that, hopefully the change is more or less obvious.
New test added that exercises the hbreak2.exp regression in a more
direct way, without relying on a breakpoint re-set happening before
main is reached.
