Because SIGTTOU is sent to the whole process instead of to a specific
thread, consuming a pending SIGTTOU in the destructor of
scoped_ignore_sigttou could consume a SIGTTOU signal raised due to
actions done by some other thread. Simply avoid sigtimedwait in
scoped_ignore_sigttou, thus plugging the race. This works because we
know that when the thread writes to the terminal and the signal is
blocked, the kernel does not raise the signal at all.
Tested on GNU/Linux, Solaris 11 and FreeBSD.

The problem with using signal(...) to temporarily ignore a signal, is
that that changes the the signal disposition for the whole process.
If multiple threads do it at the same time, you have a race.
Fix this by using sigprocmask + sigtimedwait to implement the ignoring
instead, if available, which I think probably means everywhere except
Windows nowadays. This way, we only change the signal mask for the
current thread, so there's no race.

* scoped_ignore_signal.h
(scoped_ignore_signal::scoped_ignore_signal)
[HAVE_SIGPROCMASK]: Use sigprocmask to block the signal instead of
changing the signal disposition for the whole process.
(scoped_ignore_signal::~scoped_ignore_signal) [HAVE_SIGPROCMASK]:
Use sigtimedwait and sigprocmask to flush and unblock the signal.
We currently have scoped_restore_sigttou and scoped_restore_sigpipe
doing basically the same thing -- temporarily ignoring a specific
signal.
This patch introduce a scoped_restore_signal type that can be used for
both. This will become more important for the next patch which
changes how the signal-ignoring is implemented.
scoped_restore_sigpipe is a straight alias to
scoped_restore_signal<SIGPIPE> on systems that define SIGPIPE, and an
alias to scoped_restore_signal_nop (a no-op version of
scoped_restore_signal) otherwise.
scoped_restore_sigttou is not a straight alias because it wants to
check the job_control global.

A following patch will want to use scoped_ignore_sigttou in code
shared between GDB and GDBserver. Move it under gdbsupport/.
Note that despite what inflow.h/inflow.c's first line says, inflow.c

other files were unnecessarily including inflow.h, I guess a leftover
from the days when inflow.c really was about ptrace. Those inclusions
are simply dropped.

Two additional settings for developers who use emacs:
1. Set brace-list-open to 0 for C and C++ modes, this ensures we
format things like:
enum blah
{
....
};
Instead of the default for the emacs GNU style:
enum blah
{
...
};
The former seems to be the GDB style.
2. Set sentence-end-double-space to t. This is actually the default
value for this setting, but if anyone has customised this to nil in
general, then forcing this back to t for GDB files will give a
better behaviour for the paragraph filling.

Currently, in order to tell whether support for disabling address
space randomization on Linux is available, GDB checks if the
personality syscall works, at configure time. I.e., it does a run
test, instead of a compile/link test:
AC_RUN_IFELSE([PERSONALITY_TEST],
[have_personality=true],
[have_personality=false],
This is a bit bogus, because the machine the build is done on may not
(and is when you consider distro gdbs) be the machine that eventually
runs gdb. It would be better if this were a compile/link test
instead, and then at runtime, GDB coped with the personality syscall
failing. Actually, GDB already copes.
One environment where this is problematic is building GDB in a Docker
container -- by default, Docker runs the container with seccomp, with
a profile that disables the personality syscall. You can tell Docker
to use a less restricted seccomp profile, but I think we should just
fix it in GDB.
"man 2 personality" says:
This system call first appeared in Linux 1.1.20 (and thus first
in a stable kernel release with Linux 1.2.0); library support
was added in glibc 2.3.
...
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE (since Linux 2.6.12)
With this flag set, disable address-space-layout randomization.
glibc 2.3 was released in 2002.
Linux 2.6.12 was released in 2005.
The original patch that added the configure checks was submitted in
2008. The first version of the patch that was submitted to the list
called personality from common code:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058204.html
and then was moved to Linux-specific code:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058209.html
Since HAVE_PERSONALITY is only checked in Linux code, and
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE exists for over 15 years, I propose just completely
removing the configure checks.
If for some odd reason, some remotely modern system still needs a
configure check, then we can revert this commit but drop the
AC_RUN_IFELSE in favor of always doing the AC_LINK_IFELSE
cross-compile fallback.

Previously, the observers attached to an observable were always notified
in the order in which they had been attached. That order is not easily
controlled, because observers are typically attached in _initialize_*
functions, which are called in an undefined order.
However, an observer may require that another observer attached only
later is called before itself is.
Therefore, extend the 'observable' class to allow explicitly specifying
dependencies when attaching observers, by adding the possibility to
specify tokens for observers that it depends on.
To make sure dependencies are notified before observers depending on
them, the vector holding the observers is sorted in a way that
dependencies come before observers depending on them. The current
implementation for sorting uses the depth-first search algorithm for
topological sorting as described at [1].
Extend the observable unit tests to cover this case as well. Check that
this works for a few different orders in which the observers are
attached.
This newly introduced mechanism to explicitly specify dependencies will
be used in a follow-up commit.

A little thing that bothers me with scoped_debug_start_end is that it's
not possible to pass a format string to add context to the messages: the
start and end messages are fixed.
It was done like this at the time because there's the risk that debug
output is not enabled on entry (when the constructor runs) but is
enabled on exit (when the destructor runs). For example, a user
debugging from a top-gdb may manually enable a debug_foo variable. If
debug output is disabled while the constructor runs, we won't render the
format string (to minimize overhead) so it won't be available in the
destructor.
I think it would be nice to be able to use a format string along with
scoped_debug_start_end, and I think it's unfortunate that such a narrow
use case prevents it. So with this patch, I propose that we allow
passing a format string to scoped_debug_start_end, and if the rare
situation described above happens, then we just show a "sorry, message
not available" kind of message.
The following patch makes use of this.

Add new commands under the "memory-tag" prefix to allow users to inspect,
modify and check memory tags in different ways.
The available subcommands are the following:
- memory-tag print-logical-tag <expression>: Prints the logical tag for a
particular address.
- memory-tag withltag <expression> <tag>: Prints the address tagged with the
logical tag <tag>.
- memory-tag print-allocation-tag <expression>: Prints the allocation tag for
a particular address.
- memory-tag setatag <expression> <length> <tags>: Sets one or more allocation
tags to the specified tags.
- memory-tag check <expression>: Checks if the logical tag in <address>
matches its allocation tag.
These commands make use of the memory tagging gdbarch methods, and are still
available, but disabled, when memory tagging is not supported by the
architecture.
I've pondered about a way to make these commands invisible when memory tagging
is not available, but given the check is at runtime (and support may come and go
based on a process' configuration), that is a bit too late in the process to
either not include the commands or get rid of them.
Ideas are welcome.

Before this patch, gdb_tilde_expand would use glob(3) in order to expand
tilde at the begining of a path. This implementation has limitation when
expanding a tilde leading path to a non existing file since glob fails to
expand.
This patch proposes to use glob only to expand the tilde component of the
path and leaves the rest of the path unchanged.
This patch is a followup to the following discution:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-January/174776.html
Before the patch:
gdb_tilde_expand("~") -> "/home/lsix"
gdb_tilde_expand("~/a/c/b") -> error() is called

This is the next in the new-style debug macro series.
For this one, I decided to omit the function name from the "Sending packet" /
"Packet received" kind of prints, just because it's not very useful in that
context and hinders readability more than anything else. This is completely
arbitrary.
This is with:
[remote] putpkt_binary: Sending packet: $qTStatus#49...
[remote] getpkt_or_notif_sane_1: Packet received: T0;tnotrun:0;tframes:0;tcreated:0;tfree:500000;tsize:500000;circular:0;disconn:0;starttime:0;stoptime:0;username:;notes::
and without:
[remote] Sending packet: $qTStatus#49...
[remote] Packet received: T0;tnotrun:0;tframes:0;tcreated:0;tfree:500000;tsize:500000;circular:0;disconn:0;starttime:0;stoptime:0;username:;notes::
A difference is that previously, the query packet and its reply would be
printed on the same line, like this:
Sending packet: $qTStatus#49...Packet received: T0;tnotrun:0;tframes:0;tcreated:0;tfree:500000;tsize:500000;circular:0;disconn:0;starttime:0;stoptime:0;username:;notes::
Now, they are printed on two lines, since each remote_debug_printf{,_nofunc}
prints its own complete message including an end of line. It's probably
a matter of taste, but I prefer the two-line version, it's easier to
follow, especially when the query packet is long.
As a result, lib/range-stepping-support.exp needs to be updated, as it
currently expects the vCont packet and the reply to be on the same line.
I think it's sufficient in that context to just expect the vCont packet
and not the reply, since the goal is just to count how many vCont;r GDB
sends.

gdb_abspath doesn't handle empty strings, so handle this case in the
callers. If a variable is defined but empty, I think it's reasonable in
this case to just ignore it, as if it was not defined.
Note that this sometimes also lead to a segfault, because the failed
assertion happens very early during startup, before things are fully
initialized.

I spent a lot of time reading infrun debug logs recently, and I think
they could be made much more readable by being indented, to clearly see
what operation is done as part of what other operation. In the current
format, there are no visual cues to tell where things start and end,
it's just a big flat list. It's also difficult to understand what
caused a given operation (e.g. a call to resume_1) to be done.
To help with this, I propose to add the new scoped_debug_start_end
structure, along with a bunch of macros to make it convenient to use.
The idea of scoped_debug_start_end is simply to print a start and end
message at construction and destruction. It also increments/decrements
a depth counter in order to make debug statements printed during this
range use some indentation. Some care is taken to handle the fact that
debug can be turned on or off in the middle of such a range. For
example, a "set debug foo 1" command in a breakpoint command, or a
superior GDB manually changing the debug_foo variable.
Two macros are added in gdbsupport/common-debug.h, which are helpers to
define module-specific macros:
- scoped_debug_start_end: takes a message that is printed both at
construction / destruction, with "start: " and "end: " prefixes.
- scoped_debug_enter_exit: prints hard-coded "enter" and "exit"
messages, to denote the entry and exit of a function.
I added some examples in the infrun module to give an idea of how it can
be used and what the result looks like. The macros are in capital
letters (INFRUN_SCOPED_DEBUG_START_END and
INFRUN_SCOPED_DEBUG_ENTER_EXIT) to mimic the existing SCOPE_EXIT, but
that can be changed if you prefer something else.
Here's an excerpt of the debug
statements printed when doing "continue", where a displaced step is
started:
[infrun] proceed: enter
[infrun] proceed: addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT
[infrun] global_thread_step_over_chain_enqueue: enqueueing thread Thread 0x7ffff75a5640 (LWP 2289301) in global step over chain

[infrun] start_step_over: resuming [Thread 0x7ffff75a5640 (LWP 2289301)] for step-over
[infrun] resume_1: step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0, trap_expected=1, current thread [Thread 0x7ffff75a5640 (LWP 2289301)] at 0x5555555551bd

[infrun] prepare_to_wait: prepare_to_wait
[infrun] proceed: resuming Thread 0x7ffff7da6640 (LWP 2289300)
[infrun] resume_1: thread Thread 0x7ffff7da6640 (LWP 2289300) has pending wait status status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP (currently_stepping=0).
[infrun] prepare_to_wait: prepare_to_wait
[infrun] proceed: [Thread 0x7ffff75a5640 (LWP 2289301)] resumed
[infrun] proceed: resuming Thread 0x7ffff6da4640 (LWP 2289302)
[infrun] resume_1: thread Thread 0x7ffff6da4640 (LWP 2289302) has pending wait status status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP (currently_stepping=0).
[infrun] prepare_to_wait: prepare_to_wait
[infrun] proceed: end: resuming threads, all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop
[infrun] proceed: exit
We can easily see where the call to `proceed` starts and end. We can
also see why there are a bunch of resume_1 calls, it's because we are
resuming threads, emulating all-stop on top of a non-stop target.
We also see that debug statements nest well with other modules that have
been migrated to use the "new" debug statement helpers (because they all
use debug_prefixed_vprintf in the end. I think this is desirable, for
example we could see the debug statements about reading the DWARF info
of a library nested under the debug statements about loading that
library.
Of course, modules that haven't been migrated to use the "new" helpers
will still print without indentations. This will be one good reason to
migrate them.
I think the runtime cost (when debug statements are disabled) of this is
reasonable, given the improvement in readability. There is the cost of
the conditionals (like standard debug statements), one more condition
(if (m_must_decrement_print_depth)) and the cost of constructing a stack
object, which means copying a fews pointers.
Adding the print in fetch_inferior_event breaks some tests that use "set
debug infrun", because it prints a debug statement after the prompt. I
adapted these tests to cope with it, by using the "-prompt" switch of
gdb_test_multiple to as if this debug statement is part of the expected
prompt. It's unfortunate that we have to do this, but I think the debug
print is useful, and I don't want a few tests to get in the way of
adding good debug output.

This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
Make use of the safe-ctype replacements for the standard ctype
character checking functions in gdbsupport/common-utils.cc. The
gdbsupport library is included into both gdb and gdbserver, and on the
gdbserver side there are two targets, gdbserver itself, and also
libinproctrace.so.
libiberty was already being included in the gdbserver link command,
but was missing from the libinproctrace.so link. As a result, after
changing gdbsupport/common-utils.cc to depend on libiberty,
libinproctrace.so would no longer link until I modified its link line.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (IPA_LIB): Include libiberty library.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* gdbsupport/common-utils.cc: Change 'ctype.h' include to
'safe-ctype.h'.
(extract_string_maybe_quoted): Use safe-ctype function versions.
(is_digit_in_base): Likewise.
(digit_to_int): Likewise.
(strtoulst): Likewise.
(skip_spaces): Likewise.
(skip_to_space): Likewise.
The same pattern happens often to define a "debug_printf" macro:
#define displaced_debug_printf(fmt, ...) \
do \
{ \
if (debug_displaced) \
debug_prefixed_printf ("displaced", __func__, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
} \
while (0)
Move this pattern behind a helper macro, debug_prefixed_printf_cond and
update the existing macros to use it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* displaced-stepping.h (displaced_debug_printf): Use
debug_prefixed_printf_cond.

Currently when printing an XML description GDB prints enum values like
this:
<enum id="levels_type" size="4">
<field name="low" start="0"/>
<field name="high" start="1"/>
</enum>
This is incorrect, and is most likely a copy and paste error with the
struct and flags printing code. The correct syntax is:
<enum id="levels_type" size="4">
<evalue name="low" value="0"/>
<evalue name="high" value="1"/>
</enum>
A test is included to cover this functionality.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.xml/maint-xml-dump-03.xml: New file.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* tdesc.cc (print_xml_feature::visit): Print enum fields using
'evalue' syntax.
According to gdb online docs[1], XML target description enum types
have both name and size attributes. Currently GDB does not print the
size attribute. This commit fixes this. This change will be visible
in the output of the command `maint print xml-tdesc`.
There are other bugs with the print of enum types in XML target
descriptions, the next commit will fix these and include a test that
covers this patch.

libstdc++ might change so that it always implements std::thread, but
then have thread startup simply fail. This is being discussed here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-November/558736.html
This patch pre-emptively changes gdb to handle this scenario. It
seemed fine to me to ignore all system errors at thread startup, so
that is what this does.

* thread-pool.cc (thread_pool::set_thread_count): Ignore system
errors.
A recent commit caused pathstuff.cc to fail to compile on mingw, like:
../../binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/pathstuff.cc:324:1: error: no previous declaration for 'std::string find_gdb_home_config_file(const char*, _stati64*)' [-Werror=missing-declarations]
Some newly-added #includes were changing which "stat" was being seen
by the compiler. This patch moves the includes to the header, so that
the declaration and definition now agree.

This commit effectively changes the default location of the .gdbinit
file, while maintaining backward compatibility.
For non Apple hosts the .gdbinit file will now be looked for in the
following locations:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdb/gdbinit
$HOME/.config/gdb/gdbinit
$HOME/.gdbinit
On Apple hosts the search order is instead:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/gdb/gdbinit
$HOME/.gdbinit
I've performed an extensive rewrite of the documentation, moving all

possible.

autoupdate: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
Honestly, I'm unable to grok it either. This patch re-indents it in a
way that I think is easier to read. With this patch applied, autoupdate
becomes able to parse ptrace.m4, but I chose to keep this re-indent in a
patch of its own.

`autoconf -Wall` notes that AM_PROG_CC_STDC is obsolete:
Fixes this autoconf warning:
configure.ac:40: warning: 'AM_PROG_CC_STDC': this macro is obsolete.
configure.ac:40: You should simply use the 'AC_PROG_CC' macro instead.
configure.ac:40: Also, your code should no longer depend upon 'am_cv_prog_cc_stdc',
configure.ac:40: but upon 'ac_cv_prog_cc_stdc'.
aclocal.m4:770: AM_PROG_CC_STDC is expanded from...
configure.ac:40: the top level
Since we build with a C++ compiler now, I don't think this is relevant.
If you look at the messages removed from gdbsupport/aclocal.m4, it says
that this functionality is now integrated in AC_PROG_CC, which we
already call. So it might not even make a difference.
We had a local version of AM_PROG_CC_STDC, in gdb/acinclude.m4 (only
used by gdb/configure.ac), remove it.

`autoreconf -Wall` notes that AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM is obsolete:

Replace it by AC_CANONICAL_BUILD, AC_CANONICAL_HOST and
AC_CANONICAL_TARGET in configure.ac files in gdb, gdbserver and
gdbsupport. All three macros may not be needed everywhere, but it is
hard to completely audit the configure files to see which are required,
so I think it's better (and that there's no downside) to just call all
three.

Assign names to event loop file handlers. They will be used in debug
messages when file handlers are invoked.
In GDB, each UI used to get its own unique number, until commit
cbe256847e ("Remove ui::num"). Re-introduce this field, and use it to
make a unique name for the handler.
I'm not too sure what goes on in ser-base.c, all I know is that it's
what is used when debugging remotely. I've just named the main handler
"serial". It would be good to have unique names there too. For instance
when debugging with two different remote connections, we'd ideally want
the handlers to have unique names. I didn't do it in this patch though.
