When --gsframe is specified, the assembler will generate a .sframe
section from the CFI directives in the assembly.
ChangeLog:
* gas/as.c (parse_args): Parse args and set flag_gen_sframe.
* gas/as.h: Introduce skeleton for --gsframe.
* gas/doc/as.texi: document --gsframe.
The header sframe.h defines the SFrame format.
The SFrame format is the Simple Frame format. It can be used to
represent the minimal necessary unwind information required for
backtracing. The current version supports AMD64 and AARCH64.
More details of the SFrame format are included in the documentation
of the header file in this patch.
include/ChangeLog:
* sframe.h: New file.
Without commit b66e671854, this:
.p2align 4
nop
.p2align 3

results in an error when coff_frob_section attempts to pad out the
section to a 16-byte boundary. Due to miscalculating the pad pattern
repeat count, write.c:write_contents attempts to shove 16 bytes of
padding into the remaining 4 bytes of the .text section.
* config/obj-coff.c (coff_frob_section): Correct fill count.
Don't pad after errors.
The commit bbaabc767a4293492817a0840819aef2768cce90 introduced an
incorrect thunk for the `configure' script. This patch regenerates
configure by calling autoreconf.
The GDB_AC_CHECK_BFD macro defined in gdb/acinclude.m4 uses the
AC_LINK_IFELSE autoconf macro in order to link a simple program to
check features of libbfd.
If libbfd's link dependencies change, it was necessary to reflect them
either in the definition of the macro, or as a consequence of checking
for them with an autoconf macro resulting in an addition to LIBS.
This patch modifies the definition of the GDB_CHECK_BFD macro in order
to use libtool to perform the test link. This makes it possible to
not have to list dependencies of libbfd (which are indirect to GDB) at
all.
After this patch:

The "varstring" paramter to ada_print_type can be null, but one spot
failed to check this. This could cause a crash in some situations.
As this is Ada-specific, and we've been using it internally at AdaCore
for a while, I am going to push it.
I get some random failures since commit 8d45c3a82a ("[gdb/testsuite]
Set completions to unlimited in get_set_option_choices"), which can be
reproduced with:
$ make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.base/parse_number.exp"
For instance:
set architecture A^M
Ambiguous item "A".^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/parse_number.exp: arch=A: set architecture A
The problem is the regexp in get_set_option_choices, it is possible that
is only matches part of a completion result. With check-read1, that is
always one letter.
Fix this by expecting the \r\n at the end of the line, so we only match
entire results. Use ^ in match patterns to ensure we don't miss any
output.

Currently for the target board remote-gdbserver-on-localhost we use the

Fix this by using a normalized file name instead.
This allows us to be more restrictive about which files REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME
can access:
...
- remote_exec build "chmod go-rx $objdir/outputs"
+ remote_exec build "chmod go-rx $objdir"

As reported here
( https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-October/193147.html ) a
number of test-cases fails with a remote target setup, for instance test-case
gdb.base/print-file-var.exp.
So, why don't we see these fails with our remote target boards in
gdb/testsuite/boards, say remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp?
The problem is that the target board uses the same machine and user for
both (by-definition-local) build and remote target, and when using absolute
pathnames to refer to files on build, we can access those files on target,
which in a real remote target setup wouldn't be the case: we'd have to
download them to target first, and then the filename would also be different.
For aforementioned test-case, this happens when the name of a shared library is
passed as absolute file name to gcc:
...
gcc ... -DSHLIB_NAME="$outputs/gdb.base/print-file-var/\
print-file-var-lib2-hidden0-dlopen1-version_id_main0_c.so"
...
Make these problems visible with remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp by
adding an option to specify a test account (still on the same machine)
using REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME.
We make sure by restricting file permissions, that the test account cannot see
the build files on the $USER account, and that the $USER account cannot see
the target files on the test account.
And so we can reproduce the reported fails:
...
$ cd build/gdb
$ tc="gdb.base/print-file-var.exp"
$ tb="--target_board remote-gdbserver-on-localhost"
$ tbu="REMOTE_TARGET_USERNAME=remote-target"
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="$tb $tbu $tc"
...

This patch adds multi-process debugging feature in AIX.
Till now AIX supported debugging only one inferior at a time,
now we can be able to debug multi process. Users can use set
follow fork mode in child or parent and set detach on fork on
or off to enable/disable simultaneous debugging of parent/child.
Currently, a non-trivial return value from a function cannot currently be
reliably determined on PowerPC. This is due to the fact that the PowerPC
ABI uses register r3 to store the address of the buffer containing the
non-trivial return value when the function is called. The PowerPC ABI
does not guarantee the value in register r3 is not modified in the
function. Thus the value in r3 cannot be reliably used to obtain the
return addreses on exit from the function.
This patch adds a new gdbarch method to allow PowerPC to access the value
of r3 on entry to a function. On PowerPC, the new gdbarch method attempts
to use the DW_OP_entry_value for the DWARF entries, when exiting the
function, to determine the value of r3 on entry to the function. This
requires the use of the -fvar-tracking compiler option to compile the
user application thus generating the DW_OP_entry_value in the binary. The
DW_OP_entry_value entries in the binary file allows GDB to resolve the
DW_TAG_call_site entries. This new gdbarch method is used to get the
return buffer address, in the case of a function returning a nontrivial
data type, on exit from the function. The GDB function should_stop checks
to see if RETURN_BUF is non-zero. By default, RETURN_BUF will be set to
zero by the new gdbarch method call for all architectures except PowerPC.
The get_return_value function will be used to obtain the return value on
all other architectures as is currently being done if RETURN_BUF is zero.
On PowerPC, the new gdbarch method will return a nonzero address in
RETURN_BUF if the value can be determined. The value_at function uses the
return buffer address to get the return value.
This patch fixes five testcase failures in gdb.cp/non-trivial-retval.exp.
The correct function return values are now reported.
Note this patch is dependent on patch: "PowerPC, function
ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value add missing return value convention".
This patch has been tested on Power 10 and x86-64 with no regressions.

gdb: on x86-64 non-trivial C++ objects are returned in memory
Fixes PR gdb/28681. It was observed that after using the `finish`
command an incorrect value was displayed in some cases. Specifically,
this behaviour was observed on an x86-64 target.
The function:
enum return_value_convention
ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, struct value *function,
struct type *valtype, struct regcache *regcache,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf)
should return RETURN_VALUE_STRUCT_CONVENTION if the valtype->code() is
TYPE_CODE_STRUCT and if the language_pass_by_reference is not
trivially_copyable.
This patch adds the needed code to return the value
RETURN_VALUE_STRUCT_CONVENTION in this case.
With this patch, the five test cases still fail but with the message "Value
returned has type: A. Cannot determine contents". The PowerPC ABI stores
the address of the buffer containing the function return value in register
r3 on entry to the function. However, the PowerPC ABI does not guarentee
that r3 will not be modified in the function. So when the function returns,
the return buffer address cannot be reliably obtained from register r3.
Thus the message "Cannot determine contents" is appropriate in this case.
Since the expression rewrite, dump_prefix_expression has been
misnamed. This patch cleans this up by removing the function, turning
it into a method on struct expression.
Attributes which aren't used together in any single insn template can be
converted from individual booleans to a single enum, as was done for a few
other attributes before. This is more space efficient. Collect together
all attributes which express special operand constraints (and which fit
the criteria for folding).
Data and instruction memories are strictly separated, so it is not
possible to execute instructions from the stack memory on PRU.
I don't see any difference in testsuite results with or without this
change.

Gnulib generates a warning if the system version of certain functions
are used (to redirect the developer to use Gnulib version). It caused a
compiler error when...
- Compiled with Clang
- -Werror is specified (by default)
- C++ standard used by Clang is before C++17 (by default as of 15.0.0)
when this unit test is activated.
This issue is raised as PR28413.
However, previous proposal to fix this issue (a "fix" to Gnulib):
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2021-10/msg00003.html>
was rejected because it ruins the intent of Gnulib warnings.
So, we need a Binutils/GDB-side solution.
This commit tries to address this issue on the GDB side. We have
"include/diagnostics.h" to disable certain warnings only when necessary.
This commit suppresses the Gnulib warnings by surrounding entire #include
block with DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_USER_DEFINED_WARNINGS to disable Gnulib-
generated warnings on all standard C++ header files.

While looking at test-case gdb.arch/ppc64-symtab-cordic.exp I realized that
the test-case is too restrictive here:
...
if {![istarget "powerpc*"] || ![is_lp64_target]} {
verbose "Skipping powerpc64 separate debug file symtab test."
return
}
...
and can also be run on x86_64-linux, if "set arch powerpc:common64" is
supported, which is the case if we've build gdb with --enable-targets=all.
Fix this by instead checking if powerpc:common64 is in the completion list for
"set arch".
This allows us to remove the 'untested "powerpc:common64 is not supported"'.
While we're at it, clean up the test-case by using clean_restart.

I realized that the more irregular output of show arch:
...

(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/foo.exp: complete set architecture

There's only one test-case using this currently: gdb.base/parse_number.exp,
and it locally sets max-completions to unlimited.
Fix this by:
- factoring out a new proc with_set out of proc with_complaints, and
- using it to temporarily set max-completions to unlimited in
get_set_option_choice.

If the counter for LOOP instruction is provided by a register with

Commit 0be837be9f ("gdb: make "start" breakpoint inferior-specific")
regresses gdb.ada/start.exp:
(gdb) start
Error in expression, near `1'.
(gdb) UNTESTED: gdb.ada/start.exp: start failed to land inside the right procedure
This is because in Ada, the equality operator is =, not ==.
I checked the other languages supported by GDB, these other languages
use = for equality:
- Pascal: tests like gdb.pascal/hello.exp are affected too
- Modula-2: I tried building a Modula-2 hello world using gm2, but it
seems like the generated DWARF doesn't specify the Modula-2 language
in the CUs, it's C++ and C, so the selected language isn't
"modula-2". But if I manually do "set language modula-2" on a dummy
program and then "start", I get the same error.
Other languages all use ==.
So, a short term fix would be to use = or == in the expression, based on
the current language. If this was meant to be permanent, I would
suggest adding something like an "equality_operator" method to
language_defn, that returns the right equality operator for the
language. But the goal is to replace all this with proper
inferior-specific breakpoints, so I hope all this is temporary.

With gdb 12.1, on powerpc64le I ran into ERRORs related to has_hw_wp_support
usage, which was already fixed on trunk by commits:
- 13f7237241 ("gdb/testsuite: fix gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp on ppc"), and
- 01a32ee0b8 ("PowerPC, fix gdb.base/watchpoint.exp on Power 9")
While looking into these ERRORs and the commits that fix them, it occurred to
me that while the commits fix the root cause, the failure mode is not great.
The test-cases expect a running instance of gdb upon return, which is not
there, so there's an long stream of ERRORs generated as a result.
Fix this at the start of has_hw_wp_support, by (instead of accomodating a
running gdb instance by calling gdb_exit), checking whether it's called
without a running gdb instance, and erroring out otherwise. This way, there's
just one error.
I also noticed that in case we do an early exit due to !runto_main, we don't
clean up, so copy the missing cleanups (gdb_exit and $obj file deletion) from
the regular exit.
Tested on x86_64-linux, using has_hw_wp_support for x86_64 in
