With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of
boundary violation. A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as
a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3. This patch adds a
handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed
when a bound violation is presented to the inferior. In the stop mode
case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or
"lower", bounds and the address accessed.
On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged. Additional
information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user
does not know the line in which violation occurred as well.
When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be
changed as exemplified below.
The usual output of a segfault is:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3
Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3]
0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050,
c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
68 value = *(p + len);
In mi mode the output of a segfault is:

GDB step cross kernel helpers only works if the kernel helpers are tail
called, which is the case how it is used in glibc. See __aeabi_read_tp
in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/aeabi_read_tp.S. In __aeabi_read_tp,
branch/jump to the kernel helper is the last instruction, and the next
instruction address is in LR, which is in caller function. GDB can
handle this correctly. For example, glibc function __GI___ctype_init
calls __aeabi_read_tp
0xb6e19b30 <__GI___ctype_init+4>: ldr r3, [pc, #80] ;
0xb6e19b34 <__GI___ctype_init+8>: bl 0xb6e0a6e0 <__aeabi_read_tp>
0xb6e19b38 <__GI___ctype_init+12>: ldr r3, [pc, r3]
and __aeabi_read_tp calls kernel helper,
(gdb) disassemble __aeabi_read_tp
0xb6fef5d0 <+0>: mvn r0, #61440 ; 0xf000
0xb6fef5d4 <+4>: sub pc, r0, #31
once GDB or GDBserver single step instruction on 0xb6fef5d4, LR is
0xb6e19b38, which is right address of next instruction to set breakpoint
on.
However, if the kernel helpers are not tail-called, the LR is still the
address in the caller function of kernel helper's caller, which isn't
the right address of next instruction to set breakpoint on. For example,
we use kernel helper in main,
(gdb) disassemble main
....
0x00008624 <+32>: mov r3, #4064 ; 0xfe0^M
0x00008628 <+36>: movt r3, #65535 ; 0xffff^M
0x0000862c <+40>: blx r3
0x00008630 <+44>: ldr r3, [r11, #-8]
kernel helper is called on 0x0000862c and the expected next instruction
address is 0x00008630, but the LR now is the return address of main.
The problem here is LR may not have the right address because when we
single step the instruction, it isn't executed yet, so the LR isn't
updated. This patch fix this problem by decoding instruction, if the
instruction updates LR (BL and BLX), the next instruction address is
PC + INSN_SIZE, otherwise, get the address of next instruction from LR.

When running tests in parallel, each test puts its generated files in a
different directory, under "outputs". I think it would be nice if it
was always the case, as it would isolate the test cases a bit more. An
artifact created by a test wouldn't get overwritten by another test.
Also, it makes it easier to clean up. A lot of executables are left all
over the place because their names do not appear in gdb.*/Makefile. If
everything is in "outputs", then we just have to delete that directory
(which we already do).
At the same time it makes the gdb.foo directories and their Makefiles
useless in the build directory, since they are pretty much only used for
cleaning.
What do you think?

When `info float` is used on an AMD64 system, GDB prints
floating-point values of x87 registers with raw contents like
0x361a867a8e0527397ce0 or 0xc4f988454a1ddd3cfdab wrongly.
This happens due to truncation to double, after which the former
becomes 0.0, and the latter becomes negative infinity. This is caused
by failed detection of x86-64 host, which results in setting
gdb_host_{float,double,long_double}_format to zeros.
This commit fixes this misdetection, and adds a test to make sure
future commits don't introduce a regression here.

Some of the source code for the test cases in the GDB testsuite
reside in .S files containing assembly code. These files typically
define a symbol - such as main - which may, depending on the target,
require a prefix such as underscore.
For example, gdb.dwarf2/dw-compdir-oldgcc.S defines the symbol main:
main: .globl main
Some targets, such as rx-elf, require main to have an underscore
prefix. (If it doesn't, a linker error results due to not being able
to find _main required by crt0.o.) So, instead, the above should look
like this for rx-elf and other targets with this same requirement:
_main: .globl _main
This patch defines a new tcl proc in lib/gdb named
gdb_target_symbol_prefix_flags_asm. This proc returns a string
which will - assuming everything else is wired up correctly - cause
-DSYMBOL_PREFIX=_ to be passed on the command line to the compiler.
The test cases are augmented with a macro definition for SYMBOL
as follows:
#define CONCAT1(a, b) CONCAT2(a, b)
#define CONCAT2(a, b) a ## b
#ifdef SYMBOL_PREFIX
# define SYMBOL(str) CONCAT1(SYMBOL_PREFIX, str)
#else
# define SYMBOL(str) str
#endif
Symbols, such as main shown in the example earlier are then wrapped
with SYMBOL like this:
SYMBOL(main): .globl SYMBOL(main)
The net effect will be to add a prefix for those targets which need
it and add no prefix for those targets which do not.
It should be noted that there was already a proc in lib/gdb.exp
called gdb_target_symbol_prefix_flags. It still exists, but has
been significantly rewritten. (There is only one small difference
between the two versions.)
That proc used to explicitly list targets which were known to
require an underscore prefix. This is no longer done; the recently
added proc, gdb_target_symbol_prefix, is now invoked to dynamically
discover whether or not a prefix is required for that particular
target.
The difference between gdb_target_symbol_prefix_flags_asm
and gdb_target_symbol_prefix_flags is that the former returns
a bare prefix while the latter returns the prefix enclosed in
double quotes. I.e. assuming that the discovered prefix is
underscore, gdb_target_symbol_prefix_flags_asm returns:
additional_flags=-DSYMBOL_PREFIX=_
while gdb_target_symbol_prefix_flags returns:
additional_flags=-DSYMBOL_PREFIX="_"
The double-quoted version is not suitable for using with .S files
containing assembly code; there is no way to strip the double quotes
using C preprocessor constructs.
It would be possible to use the bare (non double quoted) version in
C source code. However, the supporting macros become more complicated
and therefore more difficult to maintain.

(testcases) [__aarch64__]: Add can_relocate_bcond_false and
can_relocate_bl.
This test case makes sure that relocating PC relative instructions does
not change their behaviors. All PC relative AArch64 instructions are
covered. While call and jump (32 bit relative) instructions are covered
on x86.
The test case creates a static array of function pointers for each
supported architecture. Each function in this array tests a specific
instruction using inline assembly. They all need to contain a symbol in
the form of 'set_point\[0-9\]+' and finish by either calling pass or
fail. The number of 'set_pointN' needs to go from 0 to
(ARRAY_SIZE - 1).
The test will:
- look up the number of function pointers in the static array.
- set fast tracepoints on each 'set_point\[0-9\]+' symbol, one in each
functions from 0 to (ARRAY_SIZE - 1).
- run the trace experiment and make sure the pass function is called for
every function.

There are two problems:
(1) The testcase did not really test if elf64-i386 is supported by GDB (BFD).
That was OK for a Fedora testcase but I forgot about it when submitting it
upstream.
I haven't really verified if the GNU target is elf64-little but it seems so,
no other one seems suitable from:
elf32-x86-64
elf64-big
elf64-k1om
elf64-l1om
elf64-little
elf64-x86-64
pei-x86-64
(2) The output of the "core-file" command itself can be arbitrary as the
elf64-i386 file with x86_64 registers is really broken; but that does not
matter much, important is the following test whether core file memory is
readable.
./configure --enable-64-bit-bfd

I do not know much dejagnu but I expect 'istarget' tests against the site.exp
'target_triplet' content which is set to the primary GDB target
(--target=...).
GDB is normally never configured for primary target elf64-i386, I think BFD
does not know such explicit target, it gets recognized as elf64-little.
In fact many testfiles of the GDB testsuite are wrong as they require
'istarget' (therefore primary GDB target) even for just loading arch specific
files which would be sufficient with secondary target (--enable-targets=...)
support.
This my new patch removes this 'istarget' check as it is IMO unrelated to what
we need to test. Although you are right we do 'x/i' and test for 'hlt' so
I think we should test also for available 'set architecture i386'.
We could also test by 'x/bx' instead of 'x/i' to avoid such additional
test/requirement.
This testcase comes from a different bug from 2009:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457187http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gdb.git/commit/?id=94cd124608bf0dd359cb48a710800d72c21b30c3
That bug has been fixed in the meantime but the same testcase was reproducing
this new different bug - internal error regression - so I submitted it.
We can remove the "x/bx $address" test but it was useful for the previous bug
from 2009 as that time the internal error regression did not happen, just the
core file was not recognized (which would not be detected by the proposed
ignoring of the "core-file" command output) and so the core file was not
available. That can be tested by the "x/bx $address" test.

2015-07-16 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.arch/i386-biarch-core.exp: Replace istarget
by "complete set gnutarget". Remove expectation for the "core-file"
command.
Some tests expect the the target is aarch64, but checking target
triplet is not accurate, because target triplet can be aarch64 but
the program is in arm (or aarch32) state.
This patch addes a new proc is_aarch64_target which returns true
if the target is on aarch64 state.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-07-07 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.arch/aarch64-atomic-inst.exp: Check is_aarch64_target
instead of istarget "aarch64*-*-*".
* gdb.arch/aarch64-fp.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.base/float.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.reverse/aarch64.exp: Likewise.
* lib/gdb.exp (is_aarch64_target): New proc.
GDB tests running on arm target should be also run on aarch32
(32-bit mode on aarch64). There should be no difference. It is not
precise to check target triplet to decide which tests should be run,
because if I compiler all the test binary in 32-bit (arm program),
but target triplet is still aarch64, so that these arm specific tests
are skipped.
This patch is to add a new proc is_aarch32_target which return true
if target triplet is arm or the test binary is compiled for arm.

Patch "Do not skip prologue for asm (.S) files" [1] changes GDB's
behaviour on which test gdb.arch/thumb-singlestep.exp depends, so
it causes the fail below:
(gdb) si^M
37 blx foo^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/thumb-singlestep.exp: step into foo
the test assumes the program will stop at the instruction after "push"
but it doesn't. The fix to this fail is to do one more single step.

* gdb.arch/thumb-singlestep.exp: Do one more single step.
GDB tries to skip prologue for .S files according to .debug_line but it then
places the breakpoint to a location where it is never hit.
This is because #defines in .S files cause prologue skipping which is
completely inappropriate, for s390x:

One part is to behave for asm files similar way like for 'locations_valid':
/* Symtab has been compiled with both optimizations and debug info so that
GDB may stop skipping prologues as variables locations are valid already
at function entry points. */
unsigned int locations_valid : 1;
The other part is to extend the 'locations_valid'-like functionality more.

Intel(R) Memory protection bound information are located in register

bound registers are limited a table is used to provide storage for
bounds during run-time.
In order to investigate the contents of the MPX bound table two new

Initially there is some chain (let's say the longest one
but that doe snot matter). Consequently its elements from the middle are
being removed and there remains only some few unambiguous top and bottom ones.
The original idea why the comparison should be sharp ("<") was that if there
are multiple chains like (0xaddr show jmp instruction address):
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
then - such situation cannot exist - if two jmp instructions in "a" have the
same address they must also jump to the same address (*).
(*) jump to a computed address would be never considered for the DWARF
tail-call records.
So there could be:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x270) -> c(0x300) -> d(0x400)
But then "a" frame itself is ambiguous and it must not be displayed.
I did not realize that there can be self-tail-call:
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
main(0x100) -> a(0x280) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
which intersects to:
main(0x100) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And so if the first chain was chosen the
main(0x100) -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
then the final intersection has callers+callees==length.
> for example, if CALLERS is 3 and
> CALLEES is 2, what does the chain look like?
main(0x100) -> x(0x150) -> y(0x200) -> <???>? -> a(0x200) -> d(0x400)
And if LENGTH is 7 then:
call_site[0] = main(0x100)
call_site[1] = x(0x150)
call_site[2] = y(0x200)
call_site[3] = garbage
call_site[4] = garbage
call_site[5] = a(0x200)
call_site[6] = d(0x400)

* gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: Use standard_testfile.
The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is currently failing an
assertion recently added:
(gdb) stepi
../../src/gdb/infrun.c:2237: internal-error: resume: Assertion `sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp: Single stepping past permanent breakpoint. (GDB internal error)
The assertion expects that the only reason we currently need to step a
breakpoint instruction is when we have a signal to deliver. But when
stepping a permanent breakpoint (with or without a signal) we also
reach this code.
The assertion is correct and the permanent breakpoints skipping code
is wrong.
Consider the case of the user doing "step/stepi" when stopped at a
permanent breakpoint. GDB's `resume' calls the
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint hook and then happily continues
stepping:
/* Normally, by the time we reach `resume', the breakpoints are either
removed or inserted, as appropriate. The exception is if we're sitting
at a permanent breakpoint; we need to step over it, but permanent
breakpoints can't be removed. So we have to test for it here. */
if (breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == permanent_breakpoint_here)
{
gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint (gdbarch, regcache);
}
But since gdbarch_skip_permanent_breakpoint already advanced the PC
manually, this ends up executing the instruction that is _after_ the
breakpoint instruction. The user-visible result is that a single-step
steps two instructions.
The gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp test is actually ensuring that
that's indeed how things work. It runs to an int3 instruction, does
"stepi", and checks that "leave" was executed with that "stepi". Like
this:
(gdb) b *0x0804848c

One would instead expect that a stepi at 0x0804848c stops at
0x0804848d, _before_ the "leave" is executed. This commit changes GDB
this way. Care is taken to make stepping into a signal handler when
the step starts at a permanent breakpoint instruction work correctly.
The patch adjusts gdb.arch/i386-bp_permanent.exp in this direction,
and also makes it work on x86_64 (currently it only works on i*86).
The patch also adds a new gdb.base/bp-permanent.exp test that
exercises many different code paths related to stepping permanent
breakpoints, including the stepping with signals cases. The test uses
"hack/trick" to make it work on all (or most) platforms -- it doesn't
really hard code a breakpoint instruction.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

* infrun.c (resume): Clear the thread's 'stepped_breakpoint' flag.
Rewrite stepping over a permanent breakpoint.
(thread_still_needs_step_over, proceed): Don't set
stepping_over_breakpoint for permanent breakpoints.
(handle_signal_stop): Don't clear stepped_breakpoint. Also pull
single-step breakpoints out of the target on hardware step
targets.
(process_event_stop_test): If stepping a permanent breakpoint
doesn't hit the step-resume breakpoint, delete the step-resume
breakpoint.
(switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Also check if the stepped thread
has advanced already on hardware step targets.
(currently_stepping): Return true if the thread stepped a
breakpoint.

Joel contacted me offlist with a question about a warning that one of
his customers was seeing. The message came from the new
linker-debugger interface, which uses SDT probes internally. The
warning said:
(gdb) run
[...]
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
This should not have happened in the environment the customer was
using (RHEL-6.x), so I found it strange. Another thing caught my
attention: the last message, saying "Argument to arithmetic operation
not a number or boolean.".
Joel kindly investigated the issue further, and found the answer for
this. To quote him:
(gdb) set lang c
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
$4 = (void *) 0xffffd0f8
So far so good. But...
(gdb) set lang ada
(gdb) p 48+$ebp
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
Ooops! Interestingly, if you revert the order of the operands...
(gdb) p $ebp+48
$5 = (access void) 0xffffd0f8
So the problem is doing pointer arithmetics when the language is set
to Ada.
I remembered that, during the parsing and the evaluation of SDT probe
arguments, the code sets the language as current_language, because, at
that time, I thought it was not necessary to worry about the language
given that the code implements its own parser. I was wrong. So here
is a patch to fix that, by setting the language as C, which should
guarantee that the maths are done in the right way (TM).
It was somewhat hard to find a reproducer for this issue. In the end,
what I had to do was to create a testcase that used the %ebp register
on some displacement (e.g., "-4(%ebp)"), which finally triggered the
bug. I am not sure why I could not trigger it when using other
registers, but I did not want to spend too much time investigating
this issue, which seemed like an Ada issue. Also, because of this
peculiar way to trigger the problem, the testcase only covers x86-like
targets (i.e., i*86 and x86_64 with -m32).
Joel kindly tested this for me, and it worked. I also ran a full
regression test here on my Fedora 20 x86_64, and everything is fine.
I will push this patch in a few days if there are no comments.

We have a number of places that do gdb_run_cmd followed by gdb_expect,
when it would be better to use gdb_test_multiple or gdb_test.
This converts all that "grep gdb_run_cmd -A 2 | grep gdb_expect"
found.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
