This patch changes various global target_desc declarations to const, thereby
correcting a prominent source of ODR violations in PowerPC-related target code.
The majority of files/changes are mechanical const-ifications accomplished by
regenerating the C files in features/.
This also required manually updating mips-linux-tdep.h, s390-linux-tdep.h,
nios2-tdep.h, s390-tdep.h, arch/ppc-linux-tdesc.h, arch/ppc-linux-common.c,
and rs6000-tdep.c.
Patch tested against the sourceware trybot, and fully regression tested against
our (Red Hat's) internal test infrastructure on Rawhide aarch64, s390x, x86_64,
and powerpcle.
With this patch, I can finally enable LTO in our GDB package builds. [Tested
with a rawhide scratch build containing this patch.]

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24835
This patch adds some missing .xml files to features/Makefile so that when the
directory's C files are regenerated, all files are appropriately remade.
This has demonstrated that there have been several "misses" in regenerating
files in this directory. Namely, arm-secext.c and sparc{32,64}-solaris.c. For
the former case, there was what essentially amounts to a typo regarding the
create feature function's name. In the later case, this file has missed at least
one important update in July, 2020, when allocate_target_description was
changed to return a unique pointer.
Those corrections are included.
GDB fails to build for me, on Ubuntu 20.04. I get:

Note how above, in the gcc command line, "-lzstd" appears before

-lz does.
This commit fixes it, by moving ZSTD_LIBS from LDFLAGS to LIBS, next
to -lz, in GDB_AC_CHECK_BFD, and regenerating gdb/configure.

A user noticed that gdb would assert when printing a certain array
with array-indexes enabled. This turned out to be caused by the array
having an index type of Character, which is completely valid in Ada.
This patch changes the Ada support to recognize Character as a
discrete type, and adds some tests.
Because this is Ada-specific and was also reviewed internally, I am
checking it in.

Clang generates a warning if there is a variable that is set but not used
otherwise ("-Wunused-but-set-variable"). On the default configuration, it

Because the cause of this error is in the Bison-generated code
($(srcdir)/gold/yyscript.y -> $(builddir)/gold/yyscript.c),
this commit suppresses this warning ("-Wunused-but-set-variable") by placing

If some command in there gives the wrong answer, we currently have to
wait for a timeout for the test to continue. For instance, I currently
see:
print *val->type
$1 = Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: Cannot take address of method length.
(outer-gdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: pretty print type (timeout)
We can avoid this and modernize the test at the same time by using the
-prompt option of gdb_test.
gdb_test_no_output currently accepts a -prompt_re option (the variable
name passed to parse_args defines the option name), but I think
it's a typo. It's supposed to be -prompt, like gdb_test. I can't find
anything using -prompt_re using grep. Change it to just "prompt".

When running gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp, I get some timeouts:

At this time, GDB is actually processing the stop and reading in some
CUs. selftest_setup does bump the timeout, but it's not for the whole
test.
Since debugging GDB with GDB is (unfortunately) a bit slow, bump the
timeout for the whole duration of the setup and body. On my optimized
build, the command takes just a bit more than the current timeout of 10
seconds. But it's much slower if running the test on an unoptimized
build, so I think it's necessary to bump the timeout for that in any
case.

When a source file's dirname is solely made up of directory separators
we end up trying to dereference the last character of an empty string
with std::string::back, which results in undefined behaviour. A typical
use case where this can happen is when the root directory "/" is used as
a compilation directory.
With libstdc++.so.6.0.28 we get no out-of-bounds checks and the byte
preceding the storage of the empty string is returned. The character
value of this byte depends on heap implementation and usage, but when
this byte happens to hold the value of the directory separator character
we go on to call std::string::pop_back on the empty string which results
in an out_of_range exception which terminates GDB.
Fix this by using path_join. prepare_path_for_appending ensures that the
filename component is relative.
The testsuite has been run before and after the change and no
regressions were found.

gdbserver: remove unused variable
I removed an unused variable in handle_v_run. Pedro then pointed out
that the for loop after it was also unused. After a period of smoke
testing, no exceptions were found.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
elfcode.h can emit three warnings in elf_object_p for various things,
"section extending past end of file", "corrupt string table index",
and "program header with invalid alignment". The problem with doing
this is that the warning can be emitted for multiple possible targets
as each one is tried. I was looking at a fuzzer testcase that had an
object file with 6144 program headers, 5316 of which had invalid
alignment. It would be bad enough to get 5316 messages all the same,
but this object was contained in an archive and resulted in 4975776
repeats.
Some trimming can be done by not warning if the bfd is already marked
read_only, as is done for the "section extending past end of file"
warning, but that still results in an unacceptable number of
warnings for object files in archives. Besides that, it is just wrong
to warn about a problem detected by a target elf_object_p other than
the one that actually matches. At some point we might have more
target specific warnings.
So what to do? One obvious solution is to remove the warnings.
Another is to poke any warning strings into the target xvec, emitting
them if that xvec is the final one chosen. This also has the benefit
of solving the archive problem. A warning when recursing into
_bfd_check_format for the first element of the archive (to find the
correct target for the archive) will still be on the xvec at the point
that target is chosen for the archive. However, target xvecs are
read-only. Thus the need for per_xvec_warn to logically extend
bfd_target with a writable field. I've made per_xvec_warn one larger
than bfd_target_vector to provide one place for user code that makes
private copies of target xvecs.

The test gdb.tui/tui-missing-src.exp fails on my CI machine, and I
concluded that it is caused by the long source directory name:
/home/jenkins/workspace/binutils-gdb_master_linuxbuild/platform/jammy-amd64/target_board/unix/src/binutils-gdb
The long name causes some particular redrawing that doesn't happen for
shorter directories, and causes a Term::command call to return too
early.
This can be reproduced by cloning the binutils-gdb repo in a directory
with a name similar to the one shown above.

When running the `Term::command "step"` just before, GDB writes the
"step", which makes the `wait_for` proc go in the "looking for the
prompt" mode, to know when the command's execution is complete. As some
new output appears, lines that must disappear are deleted using the
"Delete Line" operation [1] and some new ones are drawn. The source
window gets redrawn with the contents of the f2.c file. Then, GDB
writes the prompt (at line 23 above), which satisfies `wait_for`, which
then returns. The state of the terminal is therefore correct for the
"check if inside f2" and "f2.c must be displayed in the source window"
tests.
In the non-working case, the terminal looks like this by the time the

What happened is: GDB wrote the "step" command, which make the
`wait_for` proc go in its "looking for the prompt" mode. However,
curses decided to redraw whatever scrolled up to line 17 using some
standard character insertion operations:
+++ Cursor Down (1), cursor: (16, 0) -> (17, 0)
+++ Inserting string '('
+++ Inserted char '(', cursor: (17, 0) -> (17, 1)
+++ Inserted string '(', cursor: (17, 0) -> (17, 1)
+++ Inserting string 'g'
+++ Inserted char 'g', cursor: (17, 1) -> (17, 2)
+++ Inserted string 'g', cursor: (17, 1) -> (17, 2)
+++ Inserting string 'd'
+++ Inserted char 'd', cursor: (17, 2) -> (17, 3)
+++ Inserted string 'd', cursor: (17, 2) -> (17, 3)
+++ Inserting string 'b'
+++ Inserted char 'b', cursor: (17, 3) -> (17, 4)
+++ Inserted string 'b', cursor: (17, 3) -> (17, 4)
+++ Inserting string ')'
+++ Inserted char ')', cursor: (17, 4) -> (17, 5)
+++ Inserted string ')', cursor: (17, 4) -> (17, 5)
+++ Inserting string ' '
+++ Inserted char ' ', cursor: (17, 5) -> (17, 6)
+++ Inserted string ' ', cursor: (17, 5) -> (17, 6)
And that causes `wait_for` to think the "step" command is complete.
This is wrong, as the prompt at line 17 isn't the prompt drawn after the
completion of the "step" command. The subsequent tests now run with a
partially updated screen (what is shown above) and obviously fail.
The ideal way to fix this would be for `wait_for` to be smarter, to
avoid it confusing the different prompts drawn.
However, I would also like to reduce the variations in TUI test results
due to the directories (source and build) in which tests are ran. TUI
tests are more prone to differences in test results due to variations in
directory names than other tests, as it makes curses take different
redrawing decisions. So in this patch, I propose to make TUI tests use
"set filename-display basename", which makes GDB omit directory names
when it prints file names. This way, regardless of where you run the
tests, you should get the same results (all other things being equal).
Doing this happens to fix my failures and makes my CI happy (which in
turns makes me happy). To be clear, I understand that this does not fix
the root issue of `proc wait_for` being confused. However, it makes TUI
test runs be more similar for everyone, such that there's less chance of
TUI tests randomly failing for somebody. If some other change triggers
the `wait_for` problem again in the future, hopefully everybody will see
the problem and we can work on getting it fixed more easily than if just
one unlucky person sees the problem.
Note that there are other reasons why TUI tests could vary, like
different curses library versions taking different re-drawing decisions.
However, I think my change is a good step towards more stable test
results.

Every format that might appear inside a generic archive needs to call
_bfd_generic_close_and_cleanup, so that the archive element lookup
htab can be tidied on closing an element. Otherwise you get stale
entries in the htab pointing at freed and perhaps reused memory,
resulting in segfaults when the archive is closed.
Calling _bfd_generic_close_and_cleanup on close means tdata needs to
be set up too, since pdb claims to be of format bfd_archive.

_bfd_generic_close_and_cleanup.

GDB's testsuite can override dejagnu's default_target_compile if the
system provided dejagnu installation does not provide support to compile
languages GDB needs.
Recent version of dejagnu (1.6.3, installed on RHEL-9) includes ba60272
"Establish a default C compiler by evaluating [find_gcc] if no other
compiler is given."[1]. This commit removed calls such as
`set_board_info compiler "[find_gcc]"` from the various baseboards
and has default_target_compile call `find_gcc` itself to find a compiler
if none was specified by the board description.
On systems with dejagnu-1.6.3, if GDB's overrides is needed to support
languages still unknown to dejagnu, we end up in the following
situation:
- The system board files do not set the C compiler anymore,
- GDB's replacement for default_target_compile assumes that the
compiler should have been set up by the board file.
In this situation, no one sets the C compiler for the board and as a
result many test are not compiled and not executed:

We are observing this error with ROCgdb[2], a downstream port of GDB
supporting AMD GPUs. This port needs to use GDB's override of
default_target_compile to compile HIP programs since dejagnu does not
provide support for this language yet.
This patch changes gdb_default_target_compile_1 in a similar way
default_target_compile has been updated so both implementations remain
compatible. Even if this is not strictly required by GDB just yet,
I believe keeping both implementations in sync desirable.
Using board files provided with dejagnu <=1.6.2 is still supported: if
the compiler is set by the board file, gdb_default_target_compile_1 uses
it and does not need `find_gcc`.
Patch tested on x86_64 RHEL-9 and ubuntu-20.04 on top of GDB and ROCgdb.

T-Head has a range of vendor-specific instructions.
Therefore it makes sense to group them into smaller chunks
in form of vendor extensions.
This patch adds the XTheadMemPair extension, a collection of T-Head specific
two-GP-register memory operations.
The 'th' prefix and the "XTheadMemPair" extension are documented in a PR
for the RISC-V toolchain conventions ([1]).

This patch introduces support for arbitrary literal instruction
arguments, that are not encoded in the opcode.
A typical use case for this feature would be an instruction that
applies an implicit shift by a constant value on an immediate
(that is a real operand). With this patch it is possible to make
this shift visible in the dissasembly and support such artificial
parameter as part of the asssembly code.
