Don't define the 'regset_from_core_section' method, but the iterator
method instead. This slightly reduces the code and enables non-native
use of the 'generate-core-file' command.
Also, when all instances of 'regset_from_core_section' are replaced,
it can be dropped from the gdbarch interface.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c (aarch64_linux_regset_from_core_section):
Remove.
(aarch64_linux_iterate_over_regset_sections): New.
(aarch64_linux_init_abi): Adjust gdbarch initialization.
This creates a new version of the FreeBSD core file note generation
logic in the new target-dependent file "fbsd-tdep.c". The new version
is mostly copied from "fbsd-nat.c", but uses the iterator instead of
regset_from_core_section and defines fbsd_make_corefile_notes as a
gdbarch method instead of a target method.
Consecutive architecture-dependent changes exploit the new version,
migrating away from the target method. When all FreeBSD targets are
changed, the target method can go away.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-tdep.c: New file.
* fbsd-tdep.h: New file.
* Makefile.in (ALL_TARGET_OBS): Add fbsd-tdep.o.
(HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add fbsd-tdep.h.
(ALLDEPFILES): Add fbsd-tdep.c.
This adds the 'regset' parameter to the iterator callback.
Consequently the 'regset_from_core_section' method is dropped for all
targets that provide the iterator method.
This change prepares for replacing regset_from_core_section
everywhere, thereby eliminating one gdbarch interface. Since the
iterator is usually no more complex than regset_from_core_section
alone, targets that previously didn't define core_regset_sections will
then gain multi-arch capable core file generation support without
increased complexity.

the test script invokes ldd (on host) for the target libraries, which
is wrong. ldd can't be cross because it invokes dynamic linker with
LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS and gets the dependent libraries. My first
reaction to this problem is to execute ld.so on the target (like
remote_exec target). When I start to hack proc build_executable_own_libs,
I find it has assumptions here and there that the native testing is
performed. Then I check the callers of build_executable_own_libs,
and they are all skipped if isnative is false. It is reasonable to do
the same in dlopen-libpthread.exp too.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/sigstep-threads.exp: continue
the cause is that GDBserver doesn't cancel the breakpoint if the stop
signal is SIGILL. The kernel used here is a little old, 2.6.x, and
doesn't translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP when program hits breakpoint
instruction (which is an illegal instruction actually). GDB and
GDBserver can translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP under certain circumstance,
so it is not a problem here. See gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_wait_1
/* If this event was not handled before, and is not a SIGTRAP, we
report it. SIGILL and SIGSEGV are also treated as traps in case
a breakpoint is inserted at the current PC. If this target does
not support internal breakpoints at all, we also report the
SIGTRAP without further processing; it's of no concern to us. */

|| ((WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGILL
|| WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGSEGV)
&& (*the_low_target.breakpoint_at) (event_child->stop_pc))));
However, SIGILL and SIGSEGV is not considered when cancelling
breakpoint, which causes the fail above. That is, when GDB is doing
software single step on address ADDR, both thread A and thread B hits the
software single step breakpoint, and get SIGILL. GDB selects the event
from thread A, removes the software single step breakpoint, and resume
the program. The event (SIGILL) from thread B is reported to GDB, but
GDB doesn't regard this SIGILL as SIGTRAP, because the breakpoint on
address ADDR was removed, so GDB reports "Program received signal
SIGILL".
The patch is to allow calling cancel_breakpoint if the signal is
SIGILL and SIGSEGV. This patch fixes the fail above. Likewise, event
lwp selection should honour SIGILL and SIGSEGV too.

By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.
But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").
When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this.
That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the
same time.
In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop
too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:
(gdb) c&
(gdb) b foo
That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by
this patch also covers this.
IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.
So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.exp: b 24
Currently, we are using flag has_section_at_zero to determine whether
address zero in debug info means the corresponding code has been
GC'ed, like this:
case DW_LNE_set_address:
address = read_address (abfd, line_ptr, cu, &bytes_read);
if (address == 0 && !dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero)
{
/* This line table is for a function which has been
GCd by the linker. Ignore it. PR gdb/12528 */
However, this is incorrect on some bare metal targets, as .text
section is located at 0x0, so dwarf2_per_objfile->has_section_at_zero
is true. If a function is GC'ed by linker, the address is zero. GDB
thinks address zero is a function's address rather than this function
is GC'ed.
In this patch, we choose 'lowpc' got in read_file_scope to check
whether 'lowpc' is greater than zero. If it isn't, address zero really
means the function is GC'ed. In this patch, we pass 'lowpc' in
read_file_scope through handle_DW_AT_stmt_list and dwarf_decode_lines,
and to dwarf_decode_lines_1 finally.
This patch fixes the fail above. This patch also covers the path that
partial symbol isn't used, which is tested by starting gdb with

In gdb/gdbserver/Makefile.in, IPAGENT_CFLAGS is defined using
an expression which references $(CPPFLAGS). But CPPFLAGS isn't
actually defined.
This patch first adds a CPPFLAGS definition, so as to inherit
the value passed at configure time (if any). And it then makes it
part of INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE, instead. There is no reason that
CPPFLAGS be useful for a certain class of source files, and not
the rest. This is also consistent with what's done in GDB.

(top level): Factor out tests to ...
(test_watch_location, test_regular_watch): ... these new
procedures, and use with_test_prefix and gdb_continue_to_end.
PR 12526 reports that -location watchpoints against bitfield arguments
trigger false positives when bits around the bitfield, but not the
bitfield itself, are modified.
This happens because -location watchpoints naturally operate at the
byte level, not at the bit level. When the address of a bitfield
lvalue is taken, information about the bitfield (i.e. its offset and
size) is lost in the process.
This information must first be retained throughout the lifetime of the
-location watchpoint. This patch achieves this by adding two new
fields to the watchpoint struct: val_bitpos and val_bitsize. These
fields are set when a watchpoint is first defined in watch_command_1.
They are both equal to zero if the watchpoint is not a -location
watchpoint or if the argument is not a bitfield.
Then these bitfield parameters are used inside update_watchpoint and
watchpoint_check to extract the actual value of the bitfield from the
watchpoint address, with the help of a local helper function
extract_bitfield_from_watchpoint_value.
Finally when creating a HW breakpoint pointing to a bitfield, we
optimize the address and length of the breakpoint. By skipping over
the bytes that don't cover the bitfield, this step reduces the
frequency at which a read watchpoint for the bitfield is triggered.
It also reduces the number of times a false-positive call to
check_watchpoint is triggered for a write watchpoint.

GDB has a function named "current_inferior" and gdbserver has a global
variable named "current_inferior", but the two are not equivalent;
indeed, gdbserver does not have any real equivalent of what GDB calls
an inferior. What gdbserver's "current_inferior" is actually pointing
to is a structure describing the current thread. This commit renames
current_inferior as current_thread in gdbserver to clarify this. It
also renames the function "set_desired_inferior" to "set_desired_thread"

The test does a backtrace to see which thread (#2 or #3) is assigned
to which SIGUSR (1 or 2). If the main thread gets to all_threads_running
before the sigusr threads get to their entry point, then the function
name isn't in the backtrace and the test fails.
Alas this version of the code is within epsilon of what I started with,
and then over-simplified things.
If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads
it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command.
What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the
desired threads and then just do "continue".
This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this.
Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue".
That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject
any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal"
just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it.
"nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which
"queue-signal" doesn't do.
One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to
deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command. I have no current
need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have
left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one
tries to queue a nopass signal.

I had occasion to use with_gdb_prompt in a test for the patch for PR 17314
and was passing the plain text prompt as the value, "(top-gdb)",
instead of a regexp, "\(top-gdb\)" (expressed as "\\(top-gdb\\)" in TCL).
I then discovered that in order to restore the prompt gdb passes the
original value of $gdb_prompt to "set prompt", which works because
"set prompt \(gdb\) " is equivalent to "set prompt (gdb) ".
Perhaps I'm being overly cautious but this feels a bit subtle,
but at any rate as an API choice I'd much rather pass the plain text
form to with_gdb_prompt.
I also discovered that the initial value of gdb_prompt is set in
two places to two different values.
At the global level gdb.exp sets it to "\[(\]gdb\[)\]"
and default_gdb_init sets it to "\\(gdb\\)".
The former form is undesirable as an argument to "set prompt",
but it's not clear to me that just deleting this code won't break
anything. Thus I just changed the value to be consistent and added
a comment.

The IRIX support wants to set a breakpoint to be hit when the startup
phase is complete, which is where shared libraries have been mapped
in. AFAIU, for most IRIX ports, that location is the entry point.
For MIPS IRIX however, GDB needs to set a breakpoint earlier, in
__dbx_link, as explained by:
#ifdef SYS_syssgi
/* On mips-irix, we need to stop the inferior early enough during
the startup phase in order to be able to load the shared library
symbols and insert the breakpoints that are located in these shared
libraries. Stopping at the program entry point is not good enough
because the -init code is executed before the execution reaches
that point.
So what we need to do is to insert a breakpoint in the runtime
loader (rld), more precisely in __dbx_link(). This procedure is
called by rld once all shared libraries have been mapped, but before
the -init code is executed. Unfortuantely, this is not straightforward,
as rld is not part of the executable we are running, and thus we need
the inferior to run until rld itself has been mapped in memory.
For this, we trace all syssgi() syscall exit events. Each time
we detect such an event, we iterate over each text memory maps,
get its associated fd, and scan the symbol table for __dbx_link().
When found, we know that rld has been mapped, and that we can insert
the breakpoint at the symbol address. Once the dbx_link() breakpoint
has been inserted, the syssgi() notifications are no longer necessary,
so they should be canceled. */
proc_trace_syscalls_1 (pi, SYS_syssgi, PR_SYSEXIT, FLAG_SET, 0);
#endif
The loop in irix_solib_create_inferior_hook then runs until whichever
breakpoint is hit first, the one set by solib-irix.c or the one set by
procfs.c.
Note the comment in disable_break talks about __dbx_init, but I think
that's a typo for __dbx_link:
- /* Note that it is possible that we have stopped at a location that
- is different from the location where we inserted our breakpoint.
- On mips-irix, we can actually land in __dbx_init(), so we should
- not check the PC against our breakpoint address here. See procfs.c
- for more details. */
This looks very much like referring to the loop in
irix_solib_create_inferior_hook stopping at __dbx_link instead of at
the entry point.
What this patch does is convert these deprecated raw breakpoints to
standard solib_event breakpoints. When the first solib-event
breakpoint is hit, we delete all solib-event breakpoints. We do that
in the so_ops->handle_event hook.
This allows getting rid of the loop in irix_solib_create_inferior_hook
completely, which should allow properly handling signals and other
events in the early startup phase, like in SVR4.
Built on x86_64 Fedora 20 with --enable-targets=all (builds
solib-irix.c).
Joel tested that with an earlier version of this patch "info shared"
after starting a program gave the same list of shared libraries as
before.

The problem is that rs6000_frame_cache attempts to read the stack backchain via
read_memory_unsigned_integer, which throws an exception if the stack pointer is
invalid. With this patch, it calls safe_read_memory_integer instead, which
doesn't throw an exception and allows for safe handling of that situation.

Doing:
gdb --pid=PID -ex run
Results in GDB getting a SIGTTIN, and thus ending stopped. That's
usually indicative of a missing target_terminal_ours call.
E.g., from the PR:
$ sleep 1h & p=$!; sleep 0.1; gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run
[1] 28263
[1] Killed sleep 1h
[2]+ Stopped gdb -batch sleep $p -ex run
The workaround is doing:
gdb -ex "attach $PID" -ex "run"
instead of
gdb [-p] $PID -ex "run"
With the former, gdb waits for the attach command to complete before
moving on to the "run" command, because the interpreter is in sync
mode at this point, within execute_command. But for the latter,
attach_command is called directly from captured_main, and thus misses
that waiting. IOW, "run" is running before the attach continuation
has run, before the program stops and attach completes. The broken
terminal settings are just one symptom of that. Any command that
queries or requires input results in the same.
The fix is to wait in catch_command_errors (which is specific to
main.c nowadays), just like we wait in execute_command.

This commit adds a new global flag show_debug_regs to common-debug.h
to replace the flag debug_hw_points used by gdbserver and by the
Linux x86 and AArch64 ports, and to replace the flag maint_show_dr
used by the Linux MIPS port.
Note that some debug printing in the AArch64 port was enabled only if
debug_hw_points > 1 but no way to set debug_hw_points to values other
than 0 and 1 was provided; that code was effectively dead. This
commit enables all debug printing if show_debug_regs is nonzero, so
the AArch64 output will be more verbose than previously.

This fixes two FAIL results on this testcase which were caused by a
misplaced "continue" command. This testcase used to end inferior's
execution too soon, causing the following tests to fail. Now we break
right after inferior's loop and perform the rest of the tests there.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/array-element.exp: Remove unexpected "continue"
command in testcase. Simplify testcase.
Since the last change to address_from_register, it no longer supports
targets that require a special conversion (gdbarch_convert_register_p)
for plain pointer type; I had assumed no target does so.
This turned out to be incorrect: MIPS64 n32 big-endian needs such a
conversion in order to properly sign-extend pointer values.
This patch fixes this regression by handling targets that need a
special conversion in address_from_register as well.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* findvar.c (address_from_register): Handle targets requiring
a special conversion routine even for plain pointer types.
Old AIX versions required GDB to update the stack pointer register and
execute at least one instruction before accessing the space newly allocated
on the user stack. This was done using the exec_one_dummy_insn routine
in rs6000-nat.c
However, in currently supported AIX versions (tested on AIX 6.1), this hack
is no longer necessary. In fact, removing the hack actually fixed several
test case failures, and removes a call to deprecated_insert_raw_breakpoint.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-nat.c (exec_one_dummy_insn): Remove.
(store_register): Do not call exec_one_dummy_insn.
Trying to print the bounds or the length of a pointer to an array
whose bounds are dynamic results in the following error:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'first
Location address is not set.
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'length
Location address is not set.
This is because, after having dereferenced our array pointer, we
use the type of the resulting array value, instead of the enclosing
type. The former is the original type where the bounds are unresolved,
whereas we need to get the actual array bounds.
Similarly, trying to apply those attributes to the array pointer
directly (without explicitly dereferencing it with the '.all'
operator) yields the same kind of error:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'first
Location address is not set.
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'length
Location address is not set.
This is caused by the fact that the dereference was done implicitly
in this case, and perform at the type level only, which is not
sufficient in order to resolve the array type.
This patch fixes both issues, thus allowing us to get the expected output:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'first
$1 = 1
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all'length
$2 = 3
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'first
$3 = 1
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr'length
$4 = 3
gdb/ChangeLog:

(ada_array_length): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: Add 'first, 'last and 'length tests.
Consider a pointer to an array which dynamic bounds, described in
DWARF as follow:
<1><25>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<26> DW_AT_name : foo__array_type
[...]
<2><3b>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<40> DW_AT_lower_bound : 5 byte block: 97 38 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit8; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
<46> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: 97 34 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit4; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
GDB is now able to correctly print the entire array, but not one
element of the array. Eg:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (1, 2, 3)
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all(1)
Cannot access memory at address 0xfffffffff4123a0c
The problem occurs because we are missing a dynamic resolution of
the variable's array type when subscripting the array. What the current
code does is "fix"-ing the array type using the GNAT encodings, but
that operation ignores any of the array's dynamic properties.
This patch fixes the issue by using ada_value_ind to dereference
the array pointer, which takes care of the array type resolution.
It also continues to "fix" arrays described using GNAT encodings,
so backwards compatibility is preserved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_value_ptr_subscript): Remove parameter "type".
Adjust function implementation and documentation accordingly.
(ada_evaluate_subexp) <OP_FUNCALL>: Only assign "type" if
NOSIDE is EVAL_AVOID_SIDE_EFFECTS.
Update call to ada_value_ptr_subscript.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp: Add subscripting tests.
Consider the following declaration:
type Array_Type is array (Natural range <>) of Integer;
type Array_Ptr is access all Array_Type;
for Array_Ptr'Size use 64;
Three_Ptr : Array_Ptr := new Array_Type'(1 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => 3);
This creates a pointer to an array where the bounds are stored
in a memory region just before the array itself (aka a "thin pointer").
In DWARF, this is described as a the usual pointer type to an array
whose subrange has dynamic values for its bounds:
<1><25>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<26> DW_AT_name : foo__array_type
[...]
<2><3b>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
[...]
<40> DW_AT_lower_bound : 5 byte block: 97 38 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit8; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
<46> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: 97 34 1c 94 4
(DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_lit4; DW_OP_minus;
DW_OP_deref_size: 4)
GDB is currently printing the value of the array incorrectly:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (26629472 => 1, 2,
value.c:819: internal-error: value_contents_bits_eq: [...]
The dereferencing (".all" operator) is done by calling ada_value_ind,
which itself calls value_ind. It first produces a new value where
the bounds of the array were correctly resolved to their actual value,
but then calls readjust_indirect_value_type which replaces the resolved
type by the original type.
The problem starts when ada_value_print does not take this situation
into account, and starts using the type of the resulting value, which
has unresolved array bounds, instead of using the value's enclosing
type.
After fixing this issue, the debugger now correctly prints:
(gdb) p foo.three_ptr.all
$1 = (1, 2, 3)

There are `.MIPS.abiflags', `.MIPS.options' and `.MIPS.stubs' sections
also present in Linux executables, so we can't infer IRIX OS ABI solely
from the existence of these sections. This is not going to be a problem
as there are bound to be other sections whose names start with `.MIPS.'
in IRIX executables and this selection only matters for a non-default OS
ABI in a multiple-target GDB executable. As a last resort the automatic
selection can be overridden with `set osabi'.

Similarly to the previous changes to gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp and
gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp this corrects the timeout tweak in
gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp.
This test case executes a large amount of code with a software watchpoint
enabled. This means single-stepping all the way through and takes a lot
of time, e.g. for an ARMv7 Panda board and a `-march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: continue to foo again
elapsed: 714
for the same board and a `-mthumb -march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: continue to foo again
elapsed: 1275
and for QEMU in the system emulation mode and a `-march=armv4t'
multilib:
PASS: gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: continue to foo again
elapsed: 115
(values in seconds) -- all of which having the default timeout of 60s,
set based on the requirement of the remaining test cases (other than
gdb.reverse ones).
Here again the timeout extension to have a meaning should be calculated
by scaling rather than using an arbitrary constant, and a larger factor
of 30 will do, leaving some margin. Hopefully for everyone or otherwise
we'll probably have to come up with a smarter solution.
OTOH the other test cases in this script do not require the extension so
they can be moved outside its umbrella so as to avoid unnecessary delays
if something goes wrong and a genuine timeout triggers.
* gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp: Increase the timeout by a factor
of 30 rather than hardcoding 120 for a slow test case. Take the
`gdb,timeout' target setting into account for this calculation.
Don't extend the timeout for the test cases that don't need it.
There are three cases in two scripts in the gdb.reverse subset that
take a particularly long time. Two of them are already attempted to
take care of by extending the timeout from the default. The remaining
one has no precautions taken. The timeout extension is ineffective
though, it is done by adding a constant rather than by scaling and as
a result while it may work for target boards that get satisfied with
the detault test timeout of 10s, it does not serve its purpose for
slower ones.
Here are indicative samples of execution times (in seconds) observed
for these cases respectively, for an ARMv7 Panda board running Linux
and a `-march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit
elapsed: 385
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: run to end of main
elapsed: 4440
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile
elapsed: 965
for the same board and a `-mthumb -march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit
elapsed: 465
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: run to end of main
elapsed: 4191
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile
elapsed: 669
and for QEMU in the system emulation mode and a `-march=armv4t'
multilib:
PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit
elapsed: 45
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: run to end of main
elapsed: 433
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile
elapsed: 104
Based on the performance of other tests these two test configurations
have their default timeout set to 450s and 60s respectively.
The remaining two multilibs (`-mthumb -march=armv4t' and `-mthumb
-march=armv7-a') do not produce test results usable enough to have data
available for these cases.
Based on these results I have tweaked timeouts for these cases as
follows. This, together with a suitable board timeout setting, removes
timeouts for these cases. Note that for the default timeout of 10s the
new setting for the first case in gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp is
compatible with the old one, just a bit higher to keep the convention
of longer timeouts to remain multiples of 30s. The second case there
does not need such a high setting so I have lowered it a bit to avoid
an unnecessary delay where this test case genuinely times out.
* gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: Increase the timeout by
a factor of 2 for a slow test case. Take the `gdb,timeout'
target setting into account for this calculation.
* gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: Increase the timeout by
a factor of 15 and 3 respectively rather than adding 120
for a pair of slow test cases. Take the `gdb,timeout'
target setting into account for this calculation.
The recent change to introduce `gdb_reverse_timeout' turned out
ineffective for board setups that set the `gdb,timeout' target variable.
A lower `gdb,timeout' setting takes precedence and defeats the effect of
`gdb_reverse_timeout'. This is because the global timeout is overridden
in gdb_test_multiple and then again in gdb_expect.
Three timeout variables are taken into account in these two places, in
this precedence:
1. The `gdb,timeout' target variable.
2. The caller's local `timeout' variable (upvar timeout)
3. The global `timeout' variable.
This precedence is obeyed by gdb_test_multiple strictly. OTOH
gdb_expect will select the higher of the two formers and will only take
the latter into account if none of the formers is present. However the
two timeout selections are conceptually the same and gdb_test_multiple
does its only for the purpose of passing it down to gdb_expect.
Therefore I decided there is no point to keep carrying on this
duplication and removed the sequence from gdb_test_multiple, however
retaining the `upvar timeout' variable definition. This way gdb_expect
will still access gdb_test_multiple's caller `timeout' variable (if any)
via its own `upvar timeout' reference.
Now as to the sequence in gdb_expect. In addition to the three
variables described above it also takes a timeout argument into account,
as the fourth value to choose from. It is currently used if it is
higher than the timeout selected from the variables as described above.
With the timeout selection code from gdb_test_multiple gone, gone is
also the most prominent use of this timeout argument, it's now used in
a couple of places only, mostly within this test framework library code
itself for preparatory commands or suchlike. With this being the case
this timeout selection code can be simplified as follows:
1. Among the three timeout variables, the highest is always chosen.
This is so that a test case doesn't inadvertently lower a high value
timeout needed by slow target boards. This is what all test cases
use.
2. Any timeout argument takes precedence. This is for special cases
such as within the framework library code, e.g. it doesn't make sense
to send `set height 0' with a timeout of 7200 seconds. This is a
local command that does not interact with the target and setting a
high timeout here only risks a test suite run taking ages if it goes
astray for some reason.
3. The fallback timeout of 60s remains.
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_test_multiple): Remove code to select the
timeout, don't pass one down to gdb_expect.
(gdb_expect): Rework timeout selection.
The trad_frame_set_reg_unknown declaration was added in commit
0db9b4b709 (March 2004), but apparently never defined or referenced.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* trad-frame.h (trad_frame_set_reg_unknown): Remove declaration.
As it happens we have a board that fails a gdb.base/gcore-relro.exp
test case reproducibly and moreover the case appears to trigger a
kernel bug making the it less than usable. Specifically the board
remains responsive to some extent, however processes do not appear
to be able to successfully complete termination anymore and perhaps
more importantly further gdbserver processes can be started, but they
never reach the stage of listening on the RSP socket.
This change handles timeouts in gdbserver start properly, by throwing
a TCL error exception when gdbserver does not report listening on the
RSP socket in time. This is then caught at the outer level and
reported, and 2 rather than 1 is returned so that the caller may tell
the failure to start gdbserver and other issues apart and act
accordingly (or do nothing).
I thought letting the exception unwind further on might be a good idea
for any test harnesses out there to break outright where a gdbserver
start error is silently ignored right now, however I figured out the
calls to gdbserver-support.exp are buried down too deep in the GDB test
suite for such a change to be made easily. I think returning a distinct
return value is good enough (the API says "non-zero", so 2 is as good as
1) and we can always make the error harder in a later step if required.
With config/gdbserver.exp being used this change remains transparent
to the target board, the return value is passed up by gdb_reload and
the error exception unwinds through gdbserver_gdb_load and is caught
and handled by mi_gdb_target_load. A call to perror is still made,
reporting the timeout, and in the case of mi_gdb_target_load the
procedure returns a value denoting unsuccessful completion. An
unsuccessful completion of gdb_reload is already handled elsewhere.
An alternative gdbserver board configuration can interpret the return
value in its gdb_reload implementation and catch the error in
gdbserver_gdb_load in an attempt to recover a target board that has
gone astray, for example by rebooting the board somehow. This has
proved effective with our failing board, that now completes the
remaining test cases with no further hiccups.
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_start): Throw an error
exception on timeout.
(gdbserver_run): Catch any `gdbserver_spawn' error exceptions.
(gdbserver_start_extended): Catch any `gdbserver_start' error
exceptions.
(gdbserver_start_multi, mi_gdbserver_start_multi): Likewise.
* lib/mi-support.exp (mi_gdb_target_load): Catch any
`gdbserver_gdb_load' error exceptions.
Gdbserver support code uses the global timeout value to determine when
to stop waiting for a gdbserver process being started to respond before
continuing anyway. This timeout is usually as low as 10s and may not
be enough in this context, for example on the first run where the
filesystem cache is cold, even if it is elsewhere.
E.g. I observe this reliably with gdbserver started the first time in
QEMU running in the system emulation mode:
(gdb) file .../gdb.base/advance
Reading symbols from .../gdb.base/advance...done.
(gdb) delete breakpoints

FAIL: gdb.base/advance.exp: Can't run to main
-- notice how the test harness proceeded with the `target remote ...'
command even though gdbserver hasn't completed its startup yet. A
while later when it's finally ready it's too late already. I checked
the timing here and it takes gdbserver roughly 25 seconds to start in
this scenario. Subsequent gdbserver starts in the same test run take
less time and usually complete within 10 seconds although occasionally
`target remote ...' precedes the corresponding `Listening on port...'
message again.
Therefore I have fixed this problem by setting an explicit timeout to
120s on the expect call in question. If this turns out too arbitrary
sometime, then perhaps a separate `gdbserver_timeout' setting might be
due.
* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_start): Set timeout to
120 on waiting for the TCP socket to open.

The problem here is that if a thread other than gdb's main thread
gets a SIGCHLD (it's an asynchronous signal so the kernel will
essentially pick a random thread) then gdb will hang if it is
in sigsuspend when the SIGCHLD is delivered. The other thread
will see the signal and the sigsuspend won't "wake up".
Guile and libgc should be blocking SIGCHLD in their threads,
but we need to work with Guile 2.0 and libgc 7.4.
The problem first shows up in libgc 7.4 because it is the first
release that enables multiple marker threads by default.

It crashes because frame_arg::val is documented it may contain NULL
(frame_arg::error is then non-NULL) but the code does not handle it.
Another bug is that py_print_single_arg() calls goto out of its TRY_CATCH
which messes up GDB cleanup chain crashing GDB later.
It is probably 7.7 regression (I have not verified it) due to the introduction
of Python frame filters.

This patch is a fix to PR gdb/17235. The bug is about an unused
variable that got declared and set during one of the parsing phases of
an SDT probe's argument. I took the opportunity to rewrite some of the
code to improve the parsing. The bug was actually a thinko, because
what I wanted to do in the code was to discard the number on the string
being parsed.
During this portion, the code identifies that it is dealing with an
expression that begins with a sign ('+', '-' or '~'). This means that
the expression could be:
- a numeric literal (e.g., '+5')
- a register displacement (e.g., '-4(%rsp)')
- a subexpression (e.g., '-(2*3)')
So, after saving the sign and moving forward 1 char, now the code needs
to know if there is a digit followed by a register displacement prefix
operand (e.g., '(' on x86_64). If yes, then it is a register
operation. If not, then it will be handled recursively, and the code
will later apply the requested operation on the result (either a '+', a
'-' or a '~').
With the bug, the code was correctly discarding the digit (though using
strtol unnecessarily), but it wasn't properly dealing with
subexpressions when the register indirection prefix was '(', like on
x86_64. This patch also fixes this bug, and includes a testcase. It
passes on x86_64 Fedora 20.
valgrind caught that parse_number reads uninitialized memory when we
parse literal "0":
$ valgrind ./gdb -q -nx -ex "set height 0"

I've pushed the obvious fix.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* c-exp.y (parse_number): Skip handling base-switching prefixes if
the input is only one character long.
This commit fixes the PR mentioned in $subject. It is about a set but
unused variable that refers to the output format of integer values
printed in Fortran.
This was probably a thinko (like most set-but-unused-vars), but it
could cause an internal error depending on the scenario. I am sending
a testcase which triggers this error as well.

Historically the Linux x86 watchpoint code did not cope with multi-
threaded processes and LWP IDs were passed to it wrapped as PIDs.
Not all entry points were converted when the Linux x86 watchpoint
code was made multi-thread-aware, so a handler was left in place to
cope with wrapped LWPs. Since then all such entry points have been
converted to pass regular LWPs and the handler is now redundant.
This commit removes the handler and adds assertions to ensure no
wrapped LWPs are passed in future.

The idea was that we'd just fallback to calling value_field_bitfield,
which handles unavailable values (in unpack_value_bits_as_long_1) so
should be able to handle optimized out values too. Alas, it doesn't.
This is currently a bit too messy. Instead of teaching
unpack_value_bits_as_long_1 about optimized out bits, let's bite the
bullet and teach the value code to handle partially optimized out
bitfield, by having it unpack a bitfield and then propagate the range
metadata. Turns out the resulting code looks simpler and clearer.
