Currently, on GNU/Linux, if you try to access memory and you have a
running thread selected, GDB fails the memory accesses, like:
(gdb) c&
Continuing.
(gdb) p global_var
Cannot access memory at address 0x555555558010
Or:
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 2 at 0x55555555524d: file access-mem-running.c, line 59.
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 2.
Cannot access memory at address 0x55555555524d
This patch removes this limitation. It teaches the native Linux
target to read/write memory even if the target is running. And it
does this without temporarily stopping threads. We now get:
(gdb) c&
Continuing.
(gdb) p global_var
$1 = 123
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 2 at 0x555555555259: file access-mem-running.c, line 62.
(The scenarios above work correctly with current GDBserver, because
GDBserver temporarily stops all threads in the process whenever GDB
wants to access memory (see prepare_to_access_memory /
done_accessing_memory). Freezing the whole process makes sense when
we need to be sure that we have a consistent view of memory and don't
race with the inferior changing it at the same time as GDB is
accessing it. But I think that's a too-heavy hammer for the default
behavior. I think that ideally, whether to stop all threads or not
should be policy decided by gdb core, probably best implemented by
exposing something like gdbserver's prepare_to_access_memory /
done_accessing_memory to gdb core.)
Currently, if we're accessing (reading/writing) just a few bytes, then
the Linux native backend does not try accessing memory via
/proc/<pid>/mem and goes straight to ptrace
PTRACE_PEEKTEXT/PTRACE_POKETEXT. However, ptrace always fails when
the ptracee is running. So the first step is to prefer
/proc/<pid>/mem even for small accesses. Without further changes
however, that may cause a performance regression, due to constantly
opening and closing /proc/<pid>/mem for each memory access. So the
next step is to keep the /proc/<pid>/mem file open across memory
accesses. If we have this, then it doesn't make sense anymore to even
have the ptrace fallback, so the patch disables it.
I've made it such that GDB only ever has one /proc/<pid>/mem file open
at any time. As long as a memory access hits the same inferior
process as the previous access, then we reuse the previously open
file. If however, we access memory of a different process, then we
close the previous file and open a new one for the new process.
If we wanted, we could keep one /proc/<pid>/mem file open per
inferior, and never close them (unless the inferior exits or execs).
However, having seen bfd patches recently about hitting too many open
file descriptors, I kept the logic to have only one file open tops.
Also, we need to handle memory accesses for processes for which we
don't have an inferior object, for when we need to detach a
fork-child, and we'd probaly want to handle caching the open file for
that scenario (no inferior for process) too, which would probably end
up meaning caching for last non-inferior process, which is very much
what I'm proposing anyhow. So always having one file open likely ends
up a smaller patch.
The next step is handling the case of GDB reading/writing memory
through a thread that is running and exits. The access should not
result in a user-visible failure if the inferior/process is still
alive.
Once we manage to open a /proc/<lwpid>/mem file, then that file is
usable for memory accesses even if the corresponding lwp exits and is
reaped. I double checked that trying to open the same
/proc/<lwpid>/mem path again fails because the lwp is really gone so
there's no /proc/<lwpid>/ entry on the filesystem anymore, but the
previously open file remains usable. It's only when the whole process
execs that we need to reopen a new file.
When the kernel destroys the whole address space, i.e., when the
process exits or execs, the reads/writes fail with 0 aka EOF, in which
case there's nothing else to do than returning a memory access
failure. Note this means that when we get an exec event, we need to
reopen the file, to access the process's new address space.
If we need to open (or reopen) the /proc/<pid>/mem file, and the LWP
we're opening it for exits before we open it and before we reap the
LWP (i.e., the LWP is zombie), the open fails with EACCES. The patch
handles this by just looking for another thread until it finds one
that we can open a /proc/<pid>/mem successfully for.
If we need to open (or reopen) the /proc/<pid>/mem file, and the LWP
we're opening has exited and we already reaped it, which is the case
if the selected thread is in THREAD_EXIT state, the open fails with
ENOENT. The patch handles this the same way as a zombie race
(EACCES), instead of checking upfront whether we're accessing a
known-exited thread, because that would result in more complicated
code, because we also need to handle accessing lwps that are not
listed in the core thread list, and it's the core thread list that
records the THREAD_EXIT state.
The patch includes two testcases:
#1 - gdb.base/access-mem-running.exp
This is the conceptually simplest - it is single-threaded, and has
GDB read and write memory while the program is running. It also
tests setting a breakpoint while the program is running, and checks
that the breakpoint is hit immediately.
#2 - gdb.threads/access-mem-running-thread-exit.exp
This one is more elaborate, as it continuously spawns short-lived
threads in order to exercise accessing memory just while threads are
exiting. It also spawns two different processes and alternates
accessing memory between the two processes to exercise the reopening
the /proc file frequently. This also ends up exercising GDB reading
from an exited thread frequently. I confirmed by putting abort()
calls in the EACCES/ENOENT paths added by the patch that we do hit
all of them frequently with the testcase. It also exits the
process's main thread (i.e., the main thread becomes zombie), to
make sure accessing memory in such a corner-case scenario works now
and in the future.
The tests fail on GNU/Linux native before the code changes, and pass
after. They pass against current GDBserver, again because GDBserver
supports memory access even if all threads are running, by
transparently pausing the whole process.

Although the XScale and its iwMMX extensions are implemented in the
Arm co-processor space, they are not considered to be part of the FPU
specification. In particular, they cannot be enabled or disabled via
a .fpu directive. It's therefore incorrect to strip these properties
when a new .fpu directive is encountered.
Note that the legacy Maverick co-processor is considered to be a FPU
and it is possible to control this via the .fpu directive.

Copy most of the common build warning logic over from the common
code to help keep code behavior a bit consistent, and turn them
on by default. We disable a few flags for now until we can clean
the code up.
Now that the scache logic has been migrated into the common code,
there's nothing specific in these configure scripts, so merge them
into the common one.
The frv unique logic can be moved to a dedicated include and merged
in the common configure since the flag has been scoped to the arch.
The cgen scache module is enabled by every cgen port, and with the
same default value of 16k (which matches the common default value).
Let's pull this option out of the individual ports (via CPPFLAGS)
and into the common code (via config.h).
The object itself is compiled only for cgen ports atm, so that part
doesn't change. The scache code is initialized dynamically via the
modules.c logic. That's why the profile code needs an additional
CGEN_ARCH check.
This will allow us to collapse arch configure files more. Merging
the source files will require more future work, but integrating the
cgen & non-cgen worlds itself will take a lot.
These were never fully migrated from the psim to common code, and since
we've finished moving the logic into the runtime sim state, we won't ever
need these. So punt them.
This kills off another compile-time option by moving the setting to
the individual arch runtimes. This will allow dynamic selection by
the arch when doing a single build with multiple arches.
The sim_model_init rework is a little funky. In the past it was
disabled entirely if no default model was set. We maintain the
spirit of the logic by gating the fallback logic on whether the
port has defined any models.
We want to do a single build with all arches in one binary which means
we need to namespace sim_machs on a per-arch basis. Move it from a
global variable to the sim description structure so it can be setup at
runtime.
Changing the SIM_MODEL->num from an enum to an int is unfortunate, but
we specifically don't want to maintain a centralized list anymore, and
this was never used directly in common code, just passed to per-arch
callbacks.
The $(arch) variable is only setup for cgen ports, so calculate this
value dynamically. We also need to generate multiple inputs in order
to properly recreate the subdir Makefile, so list them all.
We have some code tripping this warning, but it depends on the gcc
version & optimization levels. We've added some hints to the code
so some versions of gcc work better, but still not all. Let's just
disable the warning like gdb does.
I wrote this while debugging a problem where the expected unwinder for a
frame wasn't used. It adds messages to show which unwinders are
considered for a frame, why they are not selected (if an exception is
thrown), and finally which unwinder is selected in the end.
To be able to show a meaningful, human-readable name for the unwinders,
add a "name" field to struct frame_unwind, and update all instances to
include a name.
Here's an example of the output:

There are two declarations of 'find_thread_ptid' in gdbthread.h
with the same signature:
/* Find (non-exited) thread PTID of inferior INF. */
extern thread_info *find_thread_ptid (inferior *inf, ptid_t ptid);
and
/* Search function to lookup a (non-exited) thread by 'ptid'. Only
searches in threads of INF. */
extern struct thread_info *find_thread_ptid (inferior *inf, ptid_t ptid);

This helps these funcs get printf format checking coverage.
The sim-io.c hack as a result is a bit unfortunate, but the compiler
throws warnings when printing with empty strings. In this one case,
we actually want that due to the side-effect of the callback halting
execution for us.
These cover functions aren't used anywhere, so drop them. There was
one caller, but it's old DOS code that most likely hasn't been tested
in years, so just delete that too.

The section being dealt with at that moment is the special *COM*
section:
(top-gdb) p section.name
$1 = 0x55555a1bbe60 "*COM*"
(top-gdb) p section
$2 = (bfd_section *) 0x55555bbe4ac0 <_bfd_std_section>
I'm not too sure what this section is for, but this is one of four
special BFD sections that GDB puts after the regular sections in the
objfile::sections and objfile::section_offsets lists. You can check
gdb_bfd_section_index to see how they are handled.
gdb_bfd_count_sections returns "+ 4" to account for those sections.
The problem is that macho_symfile_offsets uses bfd_count_sections
instead of gdb_bfd_count_sections when allocating the
objfile::section_offsets vector. The vector will therefore contain,
say, 13 elements instead of 17. When trying to access the section
offset of the *COM* section, the first after the regular sections, we
access section_offsets[13], which is out of bounds.
Fix that by using gdb_bfd_count_sections instead of bfd_count_sections.
I'm fairly confident that this is correct, as this is what
default_symfile_offsets does.
With this patch, the command shown above terminates normally:

PR gdb/28017
* machoread.c (macho_symfile_offsets): Use
gdb_bfd_count_sections to allocate objfile::section_offsets.
Change-Id: Ic3a56f46f7232e9f24581f8255fc1ab981935450
Convert these three macros to methods of obj_section. The problem fixed
by the following patch is caused by an out of bound access of the
objfile::section_offsets vector. Since this is deep in macros, we don't
get a clear backtrace and it's difficult to debug. Changing that to
methods means we can step in them and break on them.
Because their implementation requires knowing about struct objfile, move
struct obj_section below struct objfile in objfiles.h.
The obj_section_offset was used in one place as an lvalue to set
offsets, in machoread.c. Replace that with a set_offset method.
Add the objfile::section_offset and objfile::set_section_offset methods
to improve encapsulation (reduce other objects poking into struct
objfile's internals).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* objfiles.h (struct obj_section): Move down.
<offset, set_offset, addr, endaddr>: New.
(obj_section_offset, obj_section_addr, obj_section_endaddr),
replace all users to use obj_section methods.
(struct objfile) <section_offset, set_section_offset>: New.

Add a .flake8 file, which is used to set default options to the flake8
Python linter. Use it to disable these two kinds of diagnostics, which
we don't care about since formatting is handled by black. This reduces
the amount of noise when running flake8 on Python files.

Remove the logical tag/top byte from the address whenever we have to work with
allocation tags.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2021-06-28 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c (aarch64_linux_memtag_matches_p): Remove the top
byte.

(aarch64_linux_get_memtag): Likewise.
(aarch64_linux_report_signal_info): Likewise.
The FFR register has a size of VL bits, not 32 bits.
This causes issues when writing core files with the gcore command and when
reading them. The FFR register sometimes shows up with garbage data.

* aarch64-linux-tdep.c
(aarch64_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections): Fix FFR register size.
This register should be 64 bits in size, but the current code only saves
32 bits. This is due to an early assumption that tag_ctl would be 32 bits
in size.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2021-06-28 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c
(aarch64_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections): Update tag_ctl register
size.
* aarch64-linux-tdep.h (AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_MTE_REGSET): Set to
8 and update comments.
While reviewing another patch, I realized that gdbarch_info_init could
easily be removed in favor of initializing gdbarch_info fields directly
in the struct declaration. The only odd part is the union. I don't
know if it's actually important for it to be zero-initialized, but I
presume it is. I added a constructor to gdbarch_info to take care of
that. A proper solution would be to use std::variant. Or, these could
also be separate fields, the little extra space required wouldn't
matter.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (struct gdbarch_info): Initialize fields, add
constructor.
* gdbarch.h: Re-generate.
* arch-utils.h (gdbarch_info_init): Remove, delete all usages.
* arch-utils.c (gdbarch_info_init): Remove.

The remote_state::starting_up member variable is already of type bool,
but in some places we still write to it using 1 and 0. This commit
just updates things to use true and false.
There should be no user visible change after this commit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (remote_target::start_remote): Set 'starting_up' using
boolean values instead of integers.
