0598af4880 Fix TUI use of "has_break" field
The TUI uses the "has_break" in two different ways: sometimes as a
boolean, and sometimes as flags.

This patch changes the TUI to be more type-safe here, and fixes the
code.  I could not find a bug that this caused, so apparently this is
just cosmetic.

This deletes some code from tui_set_disassem_content.  Whenver this is
called, I believe the TUI updates the breakpoint information
afterward, so this assignment is redundant; which is good because it
is also incorrect.

213fd9faf5 Fix foreach_with_prefix regression
Fix a silly bug in commit a26c8de0ee ("Fix early return in
foreach_with_prefix").

That patch made foreach_with_prefix always return after the first
iteration, making ~10k tests disappear from test runs...

This fixes it, and as penance, adds a testcase that exercises all
kinds of different returns possible (ok, error, return, break,
continue).  I've written it with regular "foreach", and then switched
to foreach_with_prefix and made sure we get the same results.  I put
the testcase in a new gdb.testsuite/ subdir, since this is exercising
the testsuite harness bits.  We can move this elsewhere if people
prefer a different place, but I'm going ahead in order to unbreak the
testsuite ASAP.

2b40fda74b i386/AArch64: Remove old xml tests
Both the i386, X86_64 and AArch64 builds of gdbserver include a bunch of legacy
xml files, dat files and auto generated C files, when building for unit test.

These tests exists back from when feature target descriptions were added to
prove that the new target descriptions were identical to the original
older versions. The old files are not used for anything other than these tests.

Now that this has been proven, we are not gaining anything by keeping the
original files and tests. Should new functionality be added, it would break
the tests, unless the functionality was backported to the xml. There is no
requirement that we must match the exact xml from N releases ago.  It adds
obfuscation, where as the feature target descriptions were meant to simplify
the code.

In addition, there are a bunch of xml and dat files which are completely unused.

This patch removes the selftests and the target descriptions from gdbserver.

Update the unittest to allow 0 tests (note, this failed on other targets that
never had any tests).

d4693039f9 x86: correct "-Q" option handling
For another patch I wanted to use a sufficiently benign option (simply
to be able to specify one, which certain test case invocations require),
and I stumbled across -Q in the --help output.  Before realizing that
this is x86-specific anyway, I've tried and and ran into a mysterious
testsuite failure, until I further realized that other than the help
text suggests the option requires an argument.  Correct the help text,
and make the implementation actually match what the comment there has
been describing (and what the help text now says).

f2d4ba38f5 gas/ELF: don't accumulate .type settings
Recently a patch was submitted for a Xen Project test harness binary to
override the compiler specified @object to @func (see [1]). In a reply I
suggested we shouldn't make ourselves dependent on currently unspecified
behavior of gas here: It accumulates all requests, and then
bfd/elf.c:swap_out_syms(), in an apparently ad hoc manner, prioritizes
certain flags over others.

Make the behavior predictable: Generally the last .type is what counts.
Exceptions are directives which set multiple bits (TLS, IFUNC, and
UNIQUE): Subsequent directives requesting just the more generic bit
(i.e. FUNC following IFUNC) won't clear the more specific one.  Warn
about incompatible changes, except from/to STT_NOTYPE.

Also add a new target hook, which hppa wants to use right away afaict.

In the course of adding the warning I ran into two ld testsuite
failures.  I can only assume that it was a copy-and-paste mistake that
lead to the same symbol having its type set twice.

a26c8de0ee Fix early return in foreach_with_prefix
I noticed that an early return in a foreach_with_prefix block does not
cause the outer scope to return, like:

  foreach_with_prefix var {"foo" "bar"} {
     return

  # Control continues here, but it should not.

The problem is that we're missing the usual "return -code" treatment.
This commit fixes it.

3d9be6f531 Teach gdb::option about string options
A following patch will make the "pipe" command use the gdb::option
framework for option processing.  However, "pipe"'s only option today
is a string option, "-d DELIM", and gdb::option does not support
string options yet.

This commit adds support for string options, mapped to var_string.
For now, a string is parsed up until the first whitespace.  I imagine
that we'll need to add support for quoting so that we could do:

 (gdb) cmd -option 'some -string'

without gdb confusing the "-string" for an option.

This doesn't seem important for pipe, so I'm leaving it for another
day.

One thing I'm not happy with, is that the string data is managed as a
raw malloc-allocated char *, which means that we need to xfree it
manually.  This is because var_string settings work that way too.
Although with var_string settings we're leaking the strings at gdb
exit, that was never really a problem.  For options though, leaking is
undesirable.

I think we should tackle that for both settings and options at the
same time, so for now I'm just managing the malloced data manually.
It's a bit ugly in option_def_and_value, but at least that's hidden
from view.

For testing, this adds a new "-string" option to "maint
test-settings", and then tweaks gdb.base/options.exp to exercise it.

41fc454c91 Make gdb::option::complete_options save processed arguments too
Currently, gdb::option::complete_options just discards any processed
option argument, because no completer needs that data.

When completing "pipe -d XXX gdbcmd XXX" however, the completer needs
to know about -d's argument (XXX), in order to know where input is
already past the gdb command and the delimiter.

In this commit, the fix for that is the factoring out of the
save_option_value_in_ctx function and calling it in complete_options.

For testing, this makes "maint show test-options-completion-result"
show the processed options too, like what the "maint test-options"
subcommands output when run.  Then, of course, gdb.base/options.exp is
adjusted.

Doing this exposed a couple latent bugs, which is what the other gdb
changes in the patch are for:

 - in the var_enum case, without the change, we'd end up with a null
   enum argument, and print:

     "-enum (null)"

 - The get_ulongest change is necessary to avoid advancing PP in a
   case where we end up throwing an error, e.g., when parsing "11x".
   Without the change the operand pointer shown by "maint show
   test-options-completion-result" would be left pointing at "x"
   instead of "11x".

b2b2a21598 Fix test_gdb_complete_tab_multiple race
Running 'make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.base/options.exp"' revealed a
race in test_gdb_complete_tab_multiple.  There's a gdb_test_multiple
call that expects a prompt in the middle of the regexp.  That's racy
because gdb_test_multiple includes a built-in FAIL pattern for the
prompt, which may match if gdb is slow enough to produce the rest of
the output after the prompt.

Fix this in the usual way of splitting the matching in two.

fdbc98707b Introduce the "with" command
( See original discussion and prototype here:
   https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-05/msg00570.html )

 (gdb) help with
 Temporarily set SETTING to VALUE, run COMMAND, and restore SETTING.
 Usage: with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
 Usage: w SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
 With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command.
 SETTING is any setting you can change with the "set" subcommands.
 E.g.:
   with language pascal -- print obj
   with print elements unlimited -- print obj

As can be seen above, the "with" command is just like "set", but
instead of setting the setting permanently, it sets the setting, runs
a command and then restores the setting.

 (gdb) p g_s
 $1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3}
 (gdb) with language ada -- print g_s
 $2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3)
 Warning: the current language does not match this frame.
 (gdb) show language
 The current source language is "auto; currently c".
 (gdb) with print elements 100 -- with print object on -- print 1
 $3 = 1

You can shorten things a bit though, as long as unambiguous.  So this:

 (gdb) with print elements 100 -- with print object off -- print 1

is the same as:

 (gdb) w p el 100 -- w p o 0 -- p 1

Note that the patch adds a "w" alias for "with", as "w" is not
currently taken:

 (gdb) w
 Ambiguous command "w": watch, wh, whatis, where, while, while-stepping, winheight, ws.

Let me know if you'd prefer to reserve "w" for one of the other
commands above.  IMHO, this command will end up being used frequently
enough that it deserves the "w" shorthand.

A nice feature is that this is fully integrated with TAB-completion:

 (gdb) with p[TAB]
 pagination  print       prompt      python
 (gdb) with print [TAB]
 address                max-depth              static-members
 array                  max-symbolic-offset    symbol
 array-indexes          null-stop              symbol-filename
 asm-demangle           object                 symbol-loading
 demangle               pascal_static-members  thread-events
 elements               pretty                 type
 entry-values           raw                    union
 frame-arguments        repeats                vtbl
 inferior-events        sevenbit-strings
 (gdb) with print [TAB]

 (gdb) with print elements unlimited -- thread apply all -[TAB]
 -ascending  -c          -q          -s

 (gdb) with print elements unlimited -- print -[TAB]
 -address         -max-depth       -repeats         -vtbl
 -array           -null-stop       -static-members
 -array-indexes   -object          -symbol
 -elements        -pretty          -union

The main advantage of this new command compared to command options,
like the new "print -OPT", is that this command works with any
setting, and, it works nicely when you want to override a setting
while running a user-defined command, like:

 (gdb) with print pretty -- usercmd

The disadvantage is that it isn't as compact or easy to type.  I think
of command options and this command as complementary.  I think that
even with this new command, it makes sense to continue developing the
command options in the direction of exposing most-oft-used settings as
command options.

Inspired by Philippe's "/" command proposal, if no command is
specified, then the last command is re-invoked, under the overridden
setting:

 (gdb) p g_s
 $1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3}
 (gdb) with language ada
 $2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3)
 Warning: the current language does not match this frame.

Note: "with" requires "--" to separate the setting from the command.
It might be possible to do without that, but, I haven't tried it yet,
and I think that this can go in without it.  We can always downgrade
to making "--" optional if we manage to make it work.

On to the patch itself, the implementation of the command is simpler
than one might expect.  A few details:

- I factored out a bit from pipe_command into repeat_previous
  directly, because otherwise I'd need to copy&paste the same code and
  same error message in the with command.

- The parse_cli_var_uinteger / parse_cli_var_zuinteger_unlimited /
  do_set_command changes are necessary since we can now pass an empty
  string as argument.

- do_show_command was split in two, as a FIXME comment suggests, but
  for a different reason: we need to get a string version of a "set"
  command's value, and we already had code for that in
  do_show_command.  That code is now factored out to the new
  get_setshow_command_value_string function.

- There's a new "maint with" command added too:

   (gdb) help maint with
   Like "with", but works with "maintenance set" variables.
   Usage: maintenance with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
   With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command.
   SETTING is any setting you can change with the "maintenance set"
   subcommands.

  "with" and "maint with" share 99% of the implementation.

  This might be useful on its own, but it's also useful for testing,
  since with this, we can use the "maint set/show test-settings"
  settings for exercising the "with" machinery with all the command
  type variants (all enum var_types).  This is done in the new
  gdb/base/with.exp testcase.

The documentation bits are originally based on Philippe's docs for the
"/" command, hence the attribution in the ChangeLog.

970f9d091d Fix defaults of some "maint test-settings" subcommands
New tests added later for the incoming "with" command exposed a couple
invalid-default-value bugs in the "maint test-settings" commands:

- var_filename commands don't allow setting the filename to the empty
  string (unlike var_optional_filename commands), yet, "maint
  test-settings filename"'s control variable was not initialized, so
  on startup, "maint test-settings show filename" shows an empty
  string.

- "maint test-settings enum"'s control variable was not initialized,
  so on startup, "maint test-settings show enum" shows an empty value
  instead of a valid enum value.

Both issues are fixed by initializing the control variables.

54d6600669 Make "info threads" use the gdb::option framework
This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process
options.  There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much
frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output.  Still, this
was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it.

The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available
options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand
argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable:

  (gdb) info threads [TAB]
  -gid  ID

  (gdb) help info threads
  Display currently known threads.
  Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]...

  Options:
    -gid
      Show global thread IDs.

  If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display.
  Otherwise, all threads are displayed.

163b2c58bd This patch fixes a bug in the AArch64 assembler where an incorrect structural load/store by element instruction would generate the wrong error message.
For example, when provided with the (incorrect) instruction

st4 {v0.16b-v3.16b}[4],[x0]

currently assembler provides the following error message
"Error: comma expected between operands at operand 2 -- `st4 {v0.16b-v3.16b}[4],[x0]'".

This was due to the assembler consuming the {v0.16b-v3.16b} as the first operand leaving
[4],[x0] as what it believed to be the second operand.

The actual error is that the first operand should be of element type and not
vector type (as provided). The new diagnostic for this error is
"Error: expected element type rather than vector type at operand 1 -- `st4 {v0.16b-v3.16b}[4],[x0]'.

Added testcases to check for the correct diagnostic message as well as checking that
variations of the structural load/store by element instruction also generate the error
when they have the same problem.

41be57caf3 [gas][aarch64][SVE2] Fix pmull{t,b} requirement on SVE2-AES
I had mistakenly given all variants of the new SVE2 instructions
pmull{t,b} a dependency on the feature +sve2-aes.

Only the variant specifying .Q -> .D  sizes should have that
restriction.

This patch fixes that mistake and updates the testsuite to have extra
tests (matching the given set of tests per line in aarch64-tbl.h that
the rest of the SVE2 tests follow).

We also add a line in the documentation of the command line to clarify
how to enable `pmull{t,b}` of this larger size.  This is needed because
all other instructions gated under the `sve2-aes` architecture extension
are marked in the instruction documentation by an `HaveSVE2AES` check
while pmull{t,b} is gated under the `HaveSVE2PMULL128` check.

Regtested targeting aarch64-linux.

f57cf0e3e3 libctf: fix spurious error when rolling back to the first snapshot
The first ctf_snapshot called after CTF file creation yields a snapshot
handle that always yields a spurious ECTF_OVERROLLBACK error ("Attempt
to roll back past a ctf_update") on ctf_rollback(), even if ctf_update
has never been called.

The fix is to start with a ctf_snapshot value higher than the zero value
that ctf_snapshot_lu ("last update CTF snapshot value") is initialized
to.

f5e9c9bde0 libctf: deduplicate and sort the string table
ctf.h states:

> [...] the CTF string table does not contain any duplicated strings.

Unfortunately this is entirely untrue: libctf has before now made no
attempt whatsoever to deduplicate the string table. It computes the
string table's length on the fly as it adds new strings to the dynamic
CTF file, and ctf_update() just writes each string to the table and
notes the current write position as it traverses the dynamic CTF file's
data structures and builds the final CTF buffer.  There is no global
view of the strings and no deduplication.

Fix this by erasing the ctf_dtvstrlen dead-reckoning length, and adding
a new dynhash table ctf_str_atoms that maps unique strings to a list
of references to those strings: a reference is a simple uint32_t * to
some value somewhere in the under-construction CTF buffer that needs
updating to note the string offset when the strtab is laid out.

Adding a string is now a simple matter of calling ctf_str_add_ref(),
which adds a new atom to the atoms table, if one doesn't already exist,
and adding the location of the reference to this atom to the refs list
attached to the atom: this works reliably as long as one takes care to
only call ctf_str_add_ref() once the final location of the offset is
known (so you can't call it on a temporary structure and then memcpy()
that structure into place in the CTF buffer, because the ref will still
point to the old location: ctf_update() changes accordingly).

Generating the CTF string table is a matter of calling
ctf_str_write_strtab(), which counts the length and number of elements
in the atoms table using the ctf_dynhash_iter() function we just added,
populating an array of pointers into the atoms table and sorting it into
order (to help compressors), then traversing this table and emitting it,
updating the refs to each atom as we go.  The only complexity here is
arranging to keep the null string at offset zero, since a lot of code in
libctf depends on being able to leave strtab references at 0 to indicate
'no name'.  Once the table is constructed and the refs updated, we know
how long it is, so we can realloc() the partial CTF buffer we allocated
earlier and can copy the table on to the end of it (and purge the refs
because they're not needed any more and have been invalidated by the
realloc() call in any case).

The net effect of all this is a reduction in uncompressed strtab sizes
of about 30% (perhaps a quarter to a half of all strings across the
Linux kernel are eliminated as duplicates). Of course, duplicated
strings are highly redundant, so the space saving after compression is
only about 20%: when the other non-strtab sections are factored in, CTF
sizes shrink by about 10%.

No change in externally-visible API or file format (other than the
reduction in pointless redundancy).
