This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.
Given that GDB now requires a C++17, replace all uses of
gdb::string_view with std::string_view.
This change has mostly been done automatically:
- gdb::string_view -> std::string_view
- #include "gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h" -> #include <string_view>
One things which got brought up during review is that gdb::stging_view
does support being built from "nullptr" while std::sting_view does not.
Two places are manually adjusted to account for this difference:
gdb/tui/tui-io.c:tui_getc_1 and
gdbsupport/format.h:format_piece::format_piece.
The above automatic change transformed
"gdb::to_string (const gdb::string_view &)" into
"gdb::to_string (const std::string_view &)". The various direct users
of this function are now explicitly including
"gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h". A later patch will remove the users of
gdb::to_string.
The implementation and tests of gdb::string_view are unchanged, they will
be removed in a following patch.

This introduces a new function, lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage, and
refactors a couple other existing functions to call it. This function
will be used in a subsequent patch.
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
This adds a constructor to bound_minimal_symbol, to avoid a build
failure with clang that Simon pointed out.
I also took the opportunity to remove some redundant initializations,
and to change one use of push_back to emplace_back, as suggested by
Simon.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
Add a new obj_section function to bound_minimal_symbol, this just
calls obj_section on the contained minimal_symbol passing in the
contained objfile.
This allows some minor code simplification in a few places.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
This started as a patch to enable the asm window to handle attempts to
disassemble invalid memory, but it ended up expanding into a
significant rewrite of how the asm window handles scrolling. These
two things ended up being tied together as it was impossible to
correctly test scrolling into invalid memory when the asm window would
randomly behave weirdly while scrolling.
Things that should work nicely now; scrolling to the bottom or top of
the listing with PageUp, PageDown, Up Arrow, Down Arrow and we should
be able to scroll past small areas of memory that don't have symbols
associated with them. It should also be possible to scroll to the
start of a section even if there's no symbol at the start of the
section.
Adding tests for this scrolling was a little bit of a problem. First
I would have liked to add tests for PageUp / PageDown, but the tuiterm
library we use doesn't support these commands right now due to only
emulating a basic ascii terminal. Changing this to emulate a more
complex terminal would require adding support for more escape sequence
control codes, so I've not tried to tackle that in this patch.
Next, I would have liked to test scrolling to the start or end of the
assembler listing and then trying to scroll even more, however, this
is a problem because in a well behaving GDB a scroll at the start/end
has no effect. What we need to do is:
- Move to start of assembler listing,
- Send scroll up command,
- Wait for all curses output,
- Ensure the assembler listing is unchanged, we're still at the
start of the listing.
The problem is that there is no curses output, so how long do we wait
at step 3? The same problem exists for scrolling to the bottom of the
assembler listing. However, when scrolling down you can at least see
the end coming, so I added a test for this case, however, this feels
like an area of code that is massively under tested.

Just some code cleanup. This change has a few benefits:
- Shorter argument list in the functions
- If the caller needs to calculate the string, they no longer
need to explicitly call strlen
- It is easy to pass std::string to this (done in one place
currently)
This also updates a couple of places that were passing 0/1 to
a bool parameter.

In ELF, if a data symbol is defined in a shared library and used by
the main program, it will be subject to a "copy relocation". In this
scenario, the main program has a copy of the symbol in question, and a
relocation that tells ld.so to copy the data from the shared library.
Then the symbol in the main program is used to satisfy all references.
This patch changes gdb to handle this scenario. Data symbols coming
from ELF shared libraries get a special flag that indicates that the
symbol's address may be subject to copy relocation.
I looked briefly into handling copy relocations by looking at the
actual relocations in the main program, but this seemed difficult to
do with BFD.
Note that no caching is done here. Perhaps this could be changed if
need be; I wanted to avoid possible problems with either objfile
lifetimes and changes, or conflicts with the long-term (vapor-ware)
objfile splitting project.

Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid

(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.

Function lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile iterates on all objfiles and
calls lookup_minimal_symbol for each of them, effectively searching in all
objfiles. lookup_bound_minimal_symbol calls lookup_minimal_symbol with NULL,
which also effectively searches all objfiles. AFAIK, they do exactly the same
thing, so we can get rid of one (and lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile happens
to be the most inefficient because it ends up n^2 on the number of objfiles).
Tested in both aarch64-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu. No regressions.
When we're stepping (with "step"), we want to skip trampoline-like
functions automatically, including GNU ifunc resolvers. That is done
by infrun.c calling into:
in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code
-> svr4_in_dynsym_resolve_code
-> in_gnu_ifunc_stub
A problem here is that if there's a regular text symbol at the same
address as the ifunc symbol, the minimal symbol lookup in
in_gnu_ifunc_stub may miss the GNU ifunc symbol:
(...)
41: 000000000000071a 53 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc_resolver
(...)
50: 000000000000071a 53 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc
(...)
This causes this FAIL in the tests added later in the series:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: resolver received HWCAP
set step-mode on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: set step-mode on
step
0x00007ffff7bd371a in gnu_ifunc_resolver () from build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc/gnu-ifunc-lib-1-0-0.so
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: step
Above, GDB simply thought that it stepped into a regular function, so
it stopped stepping, while it should have continued stepping past the
resolver.
The fix is to teach minimal symbol lookup to prefer GNU ifunc symbols
if desired.

If the GNU ifunc resolver has the same name as the user visible
symbol, and the resolver has debug info, then the DWARF info for the
resolver masks the ifunc minsym. In that scenario, if you try calling
the ifunc from GDB, you call the resolver instead. With the
gnu-ifunc.exp testcase added in a following patch, you'd see:
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc (3)
$1 = (int (*)(int)) 0x400753 <final>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: p gnu_ifunc (3)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is, we called the ifunc resolver manually, which returned a
pointer to the ifunc target function ("final"). The "final" symbol is
the function that GDB should have called automatically,
~~~~~~~~~~~~
int
final (int arg)
{
return arg + 1;
}
~~~~~~~~~
which is what happens if you don't have debug info for the resolver:
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc (3)
$1 = 4
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=0: resolved_debug=1: p gnu_ifunc (3)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
or if the resolver's symbol has a different name from the ifunc (as is
the case with modern uses of ifunc via __attribute__ ifunc, such as
glibc uses):
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc (3)
$1 = 4
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: p gnu_ifunc (3)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in which case after this patch, you can still call the resolver
directly if you want:
(gdb) p gnu_ifunc_resolver (3)
$1 = (int (*)(int)) 0x400753 <final>

TLS variables can't be resolved on aarch64-linux-gnu
Running the test case with upstream gdb shows two failures:
(1) Receiving different error messages when printing TLS variable before
program runs - because the ARM compiler does not emit dwarf attribute
DW_AT_location for TLS, the result is expected and the baseline may
need to be changed for aarch64.
(2) Using "info address" command on C++ static TLS object resulted in
"symbol unresolved" error - below is a snippet from the test case:
class K {
public:
static __thread int another_thread_local;
};
__thread int K::another_thread_local;
(gdb) info address K::another_thread_local
Symbol "K::another_thread_local" is unresolved.
This patch contains fix for (2).
Function info_address_command() handles the "info address" command and
calls lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile() to find sym's symbol entry in
mininal symbol table if SYMBOL_COMPUTED_OPS (sym) is false. Problem is
that function lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile() only looked up an
objfile's minsym ordinary hash table, not its demangled hash table, which
was the reason why the C++ name was not found.
The fix is to call lookup_minimal_symbol(), which already looks up entries
in both minsym's hash tables, to find names when traversing the object file
list in lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile().
Tested in both aarch64-linux-gnu and amd64-linux-gnu. No regressions.
The recent-ish commit e5f25bc5d6 ('Fix "list ambiguous_variable"')
caused a serious regression on PPC64. See
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-11/msg00666.html>.
Basically, after that patch, GDB sets breakpoints in function
descriptors instead of where the descriptors point to, which is
incorrect.
The problem is that GDB now only runs a minsym's address through
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr if msymbol_is_text returns true.
However, if the symbol points to a function descriptor,
msymbol_is_text is false since function descriptors are in fact
outside the text section.
The fix is to also run a non-text address through
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, and if that detects that it was
indeed a function descriptor, treat the resulting address as a
function.
While implementing that directly in linespec.c:minsym_found (where the
bad msymbol_is_text check is) fixes the issue, I noticed that
linespec.c:add_minsym has some code that also basically needs to do
the same checks, however it's implemented differently. Also,
add_minsym is calling find_pc_sect_line on non-function symbols, which
also doesn't look right.
So I introduced msymbol_is_function, so that we have a simple place to
consider minsyms and function descriptors.
And then, the only other use of msymbol_is_text is in
find_function_alias_target, which turns out to also be incorrect.
Changing that one to use msymbol_is_function, i.e., to consider
function descriptors too fixes (on PPC64):
-FAIL: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p func_alias
-FAIL: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p *func_alias()
+PASS: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p func_alias
+PASS: gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp: p *func_alias()
And then after that, msymbol_is_text is no longer used anywhere, so it
can be removed.
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux, no regressions. Tested on PPC64 GNU/Linux
and results compared to a testrun of e5f25bc5d6db^ (before the
offending commit), also no regressions. (there's a couple new FAILs
and some new symbol name matching unit tests are crashing, but that
looks unrelated).

Summary:
- This is preparation for supporting wild name matching on C++ too.
- This is also preparation for TAB-completion fixes.
- Makes symbol name matching (think strcmp_iw) be based on a per-language method.
- Merges completion and non-completion name comparison (think
language_ops::la_get_symbol_name_cmp generalized).
- Avoid re-hashing lookup name multiple times
- Centralizes preparing a name for lookup (Ada name encoding / C++ Demangling),
both completion and non-completion.
- Fixes Ada latent bug with verbatim name matches in expressions
- Makes ada-lang.c use common|symtab.c completion code a bit more.
Ada's wild matching basically means that
"(gdb) break foo"
will find all methods named "foo" in all packages. Translating to
C++, it's roughly the same as saying that "break klass::method" sets
breakpoints on all "klass::method" methods of all classes, no matter
the namespace. A following patch will teach GDB about fullname vs
wild matching for C++ too. This patch is preparatory work to get
there.
Another idea here is to do symbol name matching based on the symbol
language's algorithm. I.e., avoid dependency on current language set.
This allows for example doing
(gdb) b foo::bar< int > (<tab>
and having gdb name match the C++ symbols correctly even if the
current language is C or Assembly (or Rust, or Ada, or ...), which can
easily happen if you step into an Assembly/C runtime library frame.
By encapsulating all the information related to a lookup name in a
class, we can also cache hash computation for a given language in the
lookup name object, to avoid recomputing it over and over.
Similarly, because we don't really know upfront which languages the
lookup name will be matched against, for each language we store the
lookup name transformed into a search name. E.g., for C++, that means
demangling the name. But for Ada, it means encoding the name. This
actually forces us to centralize all the different lookup name
encoding in a central place, resulting in clearer code, IMO. See
e.g., the new ada_lookup_name_info class.
The lookup name -> symbol search name computation is also done only
once per language.
The old language->la_get_symbol_name_cmp / symbol_name_cmp_ftype are
generalized to work with both completion, and normal symbol look up.
At some point early on, I had separate completion vs non-completion
language vector entry points, but a single method ends up being better
IMO for simplifying things -- the more we merge the completion /
non-completion name lookup code paths, the less changes for bugs
causing completion vs normal lookup finding different symbols.
The ada-lex.l change is necessary because when doing
(gdb) p <UpperCase>
then the name that is passed to write_ write_var_or_type ->
ada_lookup_symbol_list misses the "<>", i.e., it's just "UpperCase",
and we end up doing a wild match against "UpperCase" lowercased by
ada_lookup_name_info's constructor. I.e., "uppercase" wouldn't ever
match "UpperCase", and the symbol lookup fails.
This wouldn't cause any regression in the testsuite, but I added a new
test that would pass before the patch and fail after, if it weren't
for that fix.
This is latent bug that happens to go unnoticed because that
particular path was inconsistent with the rest of Ada symbol lookup by
not lowercasing the lookup name.
Ada's symbol_completion_add is deleted, replaced by using common
code's completion_list_add_name. To make the latter work for Ada, we
needed to add a new output parameter, because Ada wants to return back
a custom completion candidates that are not the symbol name.
With this patch, minimal symbol demangled name hashing is made
consistent with regular symbol hashing. I.e., it now goes via the
language vector's search_name_hash method too, as I had suggested in a
previous patch.
dw2_expand_symtabs_matching / .gdb_index symbol names were a
challenge. The problem is that we have no way to telling what is the
language of each symbol name found in the index, until we expand the
corresponding full symbol, which is off course what we're trying to
avoid. Language information is simply not considered in the index
format... Since the symbol name hashing and comparison routines are
per-language, we now have a problem. The patch sorts this out by
matching each name against all languages. This is inneficient, and
indeed slows down completion several times. E.g., with:
$ cat script.cmd
set pagination off
set $count = 0
while $count < 400
complete b string_prin
printf "count = %d\n", $count
set $count = $count + 1
end
$ time gdb --batch -q ./gdb-with-index -ex "source script-string_printf.cmd"

The previous patch left GDB with an inconsistency. While with normal
expression evaluation the "unknown return type" error shows the name
of the function that misses debug info:
(gdb) p getenv ("PATH")
'getenv' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^
which can by handy in more complicated expressions, "ptype" does not:
(gdb) ptype getenv ("PATH")
function has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
^^^^^^^^
This commit is a step toward fixing it.
The problem is that while evaluating the expression above, we have no
reference to the minimal symbol where we could extract the name from.
This is because the resulting expression tree has no reference to the
minsym at all. During parsing, the type and address of the minsym are
extracted and an UNOP_MEMVAL / UNOP_MEMVAL_TLS operator is generated
(see write_exp_elt_msym). With "set debug expression", here's what
you see:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 UNOP_MEMVAL Type @0x565334a51930 (<text variable, no debug info>)
6 OP_LONG Type @0x565334a51c60 (__CORE_ADDR), value 140737345035648 (0x7ffff7751d80)
The "print" case finds the function name, because
call_function_by_hand looks up the function by address again.
However, for "ptype", we don't reach that code, because obviously we
don't really call the function.
Unlike minsym references, references to variables with debug info have
a pointer to the variable's symbol in the expression tree, with
OP_VAR_VALUE:
(gdb) ptype main()
...
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x0, symbol @0x559bbbd9b358 (main(int, char**))
...
so I don't see why do minsyms need to be different. So to prepare for
fixing the missing function name issue, this commit adds a new
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE operator that mimics OP_VAR_VALUE, except that it's
for minsyms instead of debug symbols. For infcalls, we now get
expressions like these:
0 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
3 OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE Objfile @0x1e41bf0, msymbol @0x7fffe599b000 (getenv)
In the following patch, we'll make OP_FUNCALL extract the function
name from the symbol stored in OP_VAR_VALUE/OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE.
OP_VAR_MSYM_VALUE will be used more in a later patch in the series
too.

(Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2017-06/msg00048.html)
This patch improves GDB support for function aliases defined with
__attribute__ alias. For example, in the test added by this commit,
there is no reference to "func_alias" in the debug info at all, only
to "func"'s definition:
$ nm ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep " func"
00000000004005ae t func
00000000004005ae T func_alias
$ readelf -w ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/symbol-alias/symbol-alias | grep func -B 1 -A 8
<1><db>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<dc> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x111): func
<e0> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<e1> DW_AT_decl_line : 27
<e2> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<e2> DW_AT_type : <0xf8>
<e6> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x4005ae
<ee> DW_AT_high_pc : 0xb
<f6> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<f8> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
So all GDB knows about "func_alias" is from the minsym (elf symbol):
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func_alias
type = int ()
(gdb) p func
$2 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) ptype func
type = struct S {
int field1;
int field2;
} *(void)
The result is that calling func_alias from the command line produces
incorrect results.
This is similar (though not exactly the same) to the glibc
errno/__errno_location/__GI___errno_location situation. On glibc,
errno is defined like this:
extern int *__errno_location (void);
#define errno (*__errno_location ())
with __GI___errno_location being an internal alias for
__errno_location. On my system's libc (F23), I do see debug info for
__errno_location, in the form of name vs linkage name:
<1><95a5>: Abbrev Number: 18 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<95a6> DW_AT_external : 1
<95a6> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x2c26): __errno_location
<95aa> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<95ab> DW_AT_decl_line : 24
<95ac> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x2c21): __GI___errno_location
<95b0> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<95b0> DW_AT_type : <0x9206>
<95b4> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x20f40
<95bc> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x11
<95c4> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
<95c6> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
however that doesn't matter in practice, because GDB doesn't record
demangled names anyway, and so we end up with the exact same situation
covered by the testcase.
So the fix is to make the expression parser find a debug symbol for
the same address as the just-found minsym, when a lookup by name
didn't find a debug symbol by name. We now get:
(gdb) p func_alias
$1 = {struct S *(void)} 0x4005ae <func>
(gdb) p __errno_location
$2 = {int *(void)} 0x7ffff6e92830 <__errno_location>
I've made the test exercise variable aliases too, for completeness.
Those already work correctly, because unlike for function aliases, GCC
emits debug information for variable aliases.
Tested on GNU/Linux.

This removes the runtime offsets from minsyms. Instead, these offsets

This patch redefines MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS to actually use the offsets
from the given objfile. Then, it updates all the symbol readers,
changing them so that they do not add in the section offset when
creating the symbol.
This change also lets us remove relocation of minsyms from
objfile_relocate1 and also msymbols_sort.

This introduces minimal_symbol_upper_bound and changes various bits of
code to use it. Since this function is intimately tied to the
implementation of minimal symbol tables, I believe it belongs in
minsyms.c.
The new function is extracted from find_pc_partial_function_gnu_ifunc.
This isn't a "clean" move because the old function interleaved the
caching and the computation; but this doesn't make sense for the new
code.

This is another patch in my ongoing series to "split" objfile to share
more read-only data across inferiors. See
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ObjfileSplitting
When symbols are finally shared, there will be no back-link from the
symbol to its containing objfile, because there may be more than one
such objfile. So, all such back-links must be removed.
One hidden back-link is the msymbol_objfile function. Since
(eventually) a symbol may appear in more than one objfile, trying to
look up the objfile given just a symbol cannot work.
This patch removes msymbol_objfile in favor of using a bound minimal
symbol. It introduces a new function to make this conversion simpler
in some spots.
The bonus of this patch is that using msymbol_objfile is slower than
simply looking up the owning objfile in the first place.

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
