This adds more uses of styled_string, changing gdb to style some
output that was previously left unstyled.

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

This introduces a few gdb-specific %p format suffixes. This is useful

code that is more i18n-friendly.
The comment before ui_out::message explains the details.
Note that the tests had to change a little. When using one of the gdb
printf functions with styling, there can be spurious style changes
emitted to the output. This did not seem worthwhile to fix, as the
low-level output functions are rather spaghetti-ish already, and I
didn't want to make them even worse.
This change also necessitated adding support for "*" as precision and
width in format_pieces. These are used in various spots in gdb, and
it seemed better to me to implement them than to remove the uses.

The pretty-print test case fails on s390/s390x because it relies on a
little-endian representation of bit fields. Little-endian architectures
typically allocate bit fields from least to most significant bit, but
big-endian architectures typically use the reverse order, allocating the
most significant bit first. Thus the two bit fields in each of the test
case's unions overlap either in their lower or in their higher bits,
depending on the target's endianness:
union {
int three : 3;
int four : 4;
};
Now, when initializing 'three' with 3, 'four' will become 3 on little
endian targets, but 6 on big-endian targets, making it FAIL there.
Fix this by initializing the longer bit field instead and using an
all-ones bit pattern. In this way the result does not depend on
endianness. Use 'unsigned' instead of int for one of the bit fields in
each of the unions, to increase the variety of resulting values.

Commit f2aec7f6d1 changed gdb_datadir to std::string.
So, xstrdup-ing the result of relocate_gdb_directory (returning a std::string)
is not needed and creates a leak.
Fix the leak by removing the xstrdup and the not needed c_str ().
Also removes a useless conversion of gdb_datadir to std::string.

With rustc 1.37, I started seeing compiler warnings from the traits.rs
test case:
warning: trait objects without an explicit `dyn` are deprecated
It seems to me that we generally do not want warnings in these test
cases. At some point, we'll probably have to patch traits.rs to use
the "dyn" keyword; by that time I expect that all the Rust compilers
in common use will support it. In the meantime it seemed simplest to
simply disable all warnings in this file.

In Fedora GDB, we carry the following patch:
8ac06474ff/f/gdb-attach-fail-reasons-5of5.patch
Its purpose is to try to detect a specific scenario where SELinux's
'deny_ptrace' option is enabled, which prevents GDB from ptrace'ing in
order to debug the inferior (PTRACE_ATTACH and PTRACE_TRACEME will
fail with EACCES in this case).
I like the idea of improving error detection and providing more
information to the user (a simple "Permission denied" can be really
frustrating), but I don't fully agree with the way the patch was
implemented: it makes GDB link against libselinux only for the sake of
consulting the 'deny_ptrace' setting, and then prints a warning if
ptrace failed and this setting is on.
My first thought (and attempt) was to make GDB print a generic warning
when a ptrace error happened; this message would just point the user
to our documentation, where she could find more information about
possible causes for the error (and try to diagnose/fix the problem).
This proved to be too simple, and I was convinced that it is actually
a good idea to go the extra kilometre and try to pinpoint the specific
problem (or problems) preventing ptrace from working, as well as
provide useful suggestions on how the user can fix things.
Here is the patch I came up with. It implements a new function,
'linux_ptrace_restricted_fail_reason', which does a few things to
check what's wrong with ptrace:
- It dlopen's "libselinux.so.1" and checks if the "deny_ptrace"
option is enabled.
- It reads the contents of "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" and
checks if it's different than 0.
For each of these checks, if it succeeds, the user will see a message
informing about the restriction in place, and how it can be disabled.
For example, if "deny_ptrace" is enabled, the user will see:
# gdb /usr/bin/true
...
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Permission denied
The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB
from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
setsebool deny_ptrace off
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
During startup program exited with code 127.
(gdb)
In case "/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope" is > 0:
# gdb /usr/bin/true
...
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Operation not permitted
The Linux kernel's Yama ptrace scope is in effect, which can prevent
GDB from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
During startup program exited with code 127.
(gdb)
If both restrictions are enabled, both messages will show up.
This works for gdbserver as well, and actually fixes a latent bug I
found: when ptrace is restricted, gdbserver would hang due to an
unchecked ptrace call:
# gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Operation not permitted
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED!
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2668100 No such process
[ Here you would have to issue a C-c ]
Now, you will see:
# gdbserver :9988 /usr/bin/true
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: Cannot PTRACE_TRACEME: Permission denied
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: status 256 is not WIFSTOPPED!
gdbserver: linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx: failed to kill child pid 2766868 No such process
gdbserver: Could not trace the inferior process.
gdbserver: ptrace: Permission denied
The SELinux 'deny_ptrace' option is enabled and preventing GDB
from using 'ptrace'. You can disable it by executing (as root):
setsebool deny_ptrace off
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
#
(I decided to keep all the other messages, even though I find them a
bit distracting).
If GDB can't determine the cause for the failure, it will still print
the generic error message which tells the user to check our
documentation:
There might be restrictions preventing ptrace from working. Please see
the appendix "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions" in the GDB documentation
for more details.
If you are debugging the inferior remotely, the ptrace restriction(s) need
to be disabled in the target system (e.g., where GDBserver is running).
This means that the patch expands our documentation and creates a new
appendix section named "Linux kernel ptrace restrictions", with
sub-sections for each possible restriction that might be in place.
Notice how, on every message, we instruct the user to "do the right
thing" if gdbserver is being used. This is because if the user
started gdbserver *before* any ptrace restriction was in place, and
then, for some reason, one or more restrictions get enabled, then the
error message will be displayed both on gdbserver *and* on the
connected GDB. Since the user will be piloting GDB, it's important to
explicitly say that the ptrace restrictions are enabled in the target,
where gdbserver is running.
The current list of possible restrictions is:
- SELinux's 'deny_ptrace' option (detected).
- YAMA's /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope setting (detected).
- seccomp on Docker containers (I couldn't find how to detect).
It's important to mention that all of this is Linux-specific; as far
as I know, SELinux, YAMA and seccomp are Linux-only features.
I tested this patch locally, on my Fedora 30 machine (actually, a
Fedora Rawhide VM), but I'm not proposing a testcase for it because of
the difficulty of writing one.

dwarf2read.c will create stub types for Ada "Taft Amendment" types.
These stub types can currently be exposed to Python code, where they
show up as TYPE_CODE_VOID types (but that, mysteriously, can sometimes
be used in other ways).
While it's possible to work with such types by using strip_typedefs,
this seemed unpleasant to me. This patch takes another approach
instead, which is to try not to expose stub types to Python users.

I was looking at the implementation of this script keyword today and
couldn't remember why we do what we do in get_init_priority, because
the comments explain how the init_priority is encoded but don't say
why it is necessary to extract the priority and sort on that. So
after figuring out why (again), I wrote some more comments.
Then I simplified get_init_priority a little, adding some sanity
checking on the strtoul result. This actually makes get_init_priority
support sorting by numerical suffix more generally, but I figure this
feature would be better as a new keyword (without the .ctors/.dtors
special case), so haven't documented the extension.

On my openSUSE Leap 15.1 x86_64 Skylake system with the default (4.12) kernel,
I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/gcore.exp: corefile restored all registers
...
The problem is that there's a difference in the mxcsr register value before
and after the gcore command:
...
- mxcsr 0x0 [ ]
+ mxcsr 0x400440 [ DAZ OM ]
...
This can be traced back to amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers, where
xstateregs is partially initialized by the ptrace call:
...
char xstateregs[X86_XSTATE_MAX_SIZE];
struct iovec iov;
amd64_collect_xsave (regcache, -1, xstateregs, 0);
iov.iov_base = xstateregs;
iov.iov_len = sizeof (xstateregs);
if (ptrace (PTRACE_GETREGSET, tid,
(unsigned int) NT_X86_XSTATE, (long) &iov) < 0)
perror_with_name (_("Couldn't get extended state status"));
amd64_supply_xsave (regcache, -1, xstateregs);
...
after which amd64_supply_xsave is called.
The amd64_supply_xsave call is supposed to only use initialized parts of
xstateregs, but due to a kernel bug on intel skylake (fixed from 4.14 onwards
by commit 0852b374173b "x86/fpu: Add FPU state copying quirk to handle XRSTOR
failure on Intel Skylake CPUs") it can happen that the mxcsr part of
xstateregs is not initialized, while amd64_supply_xsave expects it to be
initialized, which explains the FAIL mentioned above.
Fix the undetermined behaviour by initializing xstateregs before calling
ptrace, which makes sure we get a 0x0 for mxcsr when this kernel bug occurs,
and which also happens to fix the FAIL.
Furthermore, add an xfail for this FAIL which triggers the same kernel bug:
...
FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-init-x87-values.exp: check_setting_mxcsr_before_enable: \
check new value of MXCSR is still in place
...
Both FAILs pass when using a 5.3 kernel instead on the system mentioned above.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

The fix for PR12848 introduced an off by one error in the mask, this corrected
the negative overflows but not the positive overflows. As a result the
conditional branch instructions accepted a too wide positive immediate which
resulted in it corrupting the instruction during encoding.
The relocation I believe has been incorrectly named, to be consistent with the
other relocations it should have been named BRANCH21 which is why the masks for
it are confusing.
I've replaced the masks with a function out_of_range_p which should make it
harder to make such mistakes.
The mask for BL/BLX on Armv6t+ is also wrong, the extended range is 25-bits
and so the mask should be checking for 24-bits for positive overflow.

The problem can be traced back to init_line_structures. The very
first time this function is ever called its MINSIZE parameter is
always 0 and the global LINE_SIZE is 1024. Prior to the above
mentioned commits we spot that the line_state variables have not yet
been initialised, and allocate them some new buffer, then we enter
this loop:
for (n = minsize; n < line_size; n++)
{
visible_line[n] = 0;
invisible_line[n] = 1;
}
which would initialise everything from the incoming minimum up to the
potentially extended upper line size.
The problem is that the above patches added a new condition that would
bump up the minsize like this:
if (minsize <= _rl_screenwidth) /* XXX - for gdb */
minsize = _rl_screenwidth + 1;
So, the first time this function is called the incoming MINSIZE is 0,
the LINE_SIZE global is 1024, and if the _rl_screenwidth is 80, we see
that MINSIZE will be pushed up to 80. We still notice that the line
state is uninitialised and allocate some buffers, then we enter the
initialisation loop:
for (n = minsize; n < line_size; n++)
{
visible_line[n] = 0;
invisible_line[n] = 1;
}
And initialise from 80 to 1023 i the newly allocated buffers, leaving
0 to 79 uninitialised.
To confirm this is an issue, if we then look at rl_redisplay we see
that a call to init_line_structures is followed first by a call to
rl_on_new_line, which does initialise visible_line[0], but not
invisible_line[0]. Later in rl_redisplay we have this logic:
if (visible_line[0] != invisible_line[0])
rl_display_fixed = 0;
The use of invisible_line[0] here will be undefined.
Considering how this variable was originally initialised before the
above patches, this patch modifies the initialisation loop in
init_line_structures, to use the original value of MINSIZE. With this
change the valgrind warning goes away.
