I wanted to unit test the Rust lexer, so I added a simple unit testing
command to gdb.
The intent is that self tests will only be compiled into gdb in
development mode. In release mode they simply won't exist. So, this
exposes $development to C code as GDB_SELF_TEST.
In development mode, test functions are registered with the self test
module. A test function is just a function that does some checks, and
throws an exception on failure.
Then this adds a new "maint selftest" command which invokes the test
functions, and a new dejagnu test case that invokes it.

batch-preserve-term-settings.exp fails if the shell prompt isn't $. It
is # in our testing env. In fact, the shell prompt can be anything.
The perfect solution would be "set_board_info shell_prompt" in the
host board file, and use board_info shell_prompt in
batch-preserve-term-settings.exp. This is a little bit overkill to
me, and we still need to figure out the different prompts on different
shells. I also tried to start shell with the prompt preset, but there is
not unique way to set shell prompt in different shells, so I give up.
It is reasonably simple to match either $ or # for the shell prompt, and
we can easily extend it to match other char, like >.

that it requires support for "running", ruling out stub-like targets.

This patch introduces the use_gdb_stub procedure, which allows getting
the right value of the use_gdb_stub variable/property in any all
situations.
When calling it before the $use_gdb_stub global variable has been set,
it will return the value of the use_gdb_stub property from the board
file. This happens when tests want to bail out early (even before gdb
has been started) when the current test setup is a stub.
Otherwise, it returns the value of the $use_gdb_stub global.
It's possible for these two to differ when a test file overrides the
value of the global.

GDB's use of --dynamic-list to only export the proc-service symbols is
broken due to Python's "python-config --ldflags" saying we should link
with -export-dynamic, causing us to export _all_ extern symbols
anyway. On Fedora 23:
$ python-config --ldflags
-lpython2.7 -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
$ python3.4-config --ldflags
-L/usr/lib64 -lpython3.4m -lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -Xlinker -export-dynamic
Having GDB export all its symbols leads to issues such as PR gdb/16818
(GDB crashes when using name for target remote hostname:port), where a
GDB symbol unintentionally preempts a symbol in one of the NSS modules
glibc loads into the process. NSS modules should not define symbols
outside the implementation namespace or the relevant standards, but,
alas, that's a longstanding and hard to fix issue. See libc-alpha
discussion at:
[symbol name space issues with NSS modules]
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-04/msg00130.html
Python should instead be either using GCC's symbol visibility feature
or -Wl,--dynamic-list as well, to only export Python API symbols, but,
it doesn't. There are bugs open upstream for that:
[Use -Wl,--dynamic-list=x.list, not -Xlinker -export-dynamic]
http://bugs.python.org/issue10112
[Use GCC visibility attrs in PyAPI_*]
http://bugs.python.org/issue11410
But that's taking a long while to resolve.
I thought of working around this Python issue by making GDB build with
-fvisibility=hidden, as Jan suggests in Python issue 10112, as then
Python's "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" has no effect. However, that
would need to be done in the whole source tree (bfd, libiberty, etc.),
and I think that would break GCC plugins, as I believe those have
access to all of GCCs symbols, by "design". So we'd need a new
configure switch, or have the libraries in the tree detect which of
GCC or GDB is being built, but that doesn't work, because the answer
can be "both" with combined builds...
So this patch instead works around Python's bug, by simply sed'ing
away "-Xlinker -export-dynamic" from the result of python-config.py
--ldflags, making -Wl,--dynamic-list work again as it used to. It's
ugly, but so is the bug...
Note that if -Wl,--dynamic-list doesn't work, we always link with
-rdynamic, so static Python should still work.
Tested on F23 with --python=python (Python 2.7) and
--python=python3.4.

This test seems to work with both native-gdbserver and
native-extended-gdbserver, so I removed the remote check.
When running with native-gdbserver (a stub-like target), detach makes
gdbserver stop and gdb disconnect. runto_main just spawns a brand new
gdbserver. So it tests the exact same thing twice. It doesn't hurt
though.
With native-extended-gdbserver, the test is probably a bit more useful
(and similar to native). It tests running/detaching twice using the
same gdb/gdbserver instances, since with extended-remote, you can
detach/attach/run all you want, unlike with remote.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/detach.exp: Remove is_remote check.
The comment says that we can't use runto_main here becore it doesn't
know how to handle annotation. Instead, the test puts a breakpoint at
main and calls run by hand. Therefore, it can't work with stub targets,
since they can't "run". The check should be then changed to check the
use_gdb_stub variable instead of [is_remote target].
But as an alternative, we can just use runto_main and enable annotations
after, since the "run to main" part is not really part of what we want
to test.
I also removed the "set test..." line that is unused.

This patch adds a test for tracepoints enabling/disabling, which

* gdb.trace/trace-enable-disable.exp: New file.

I am sending this fix on behalf of Par Olsson, as a follow-up of this
one:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-10/msg00196.html
This problem is exposed when enabling/disabling fast tracepoints on big
endian machines. The flag is defined as an int8_t, but is written from
gdbserver as an integer (usually 32 bits). When the agent code reads it
as an int8_t, it only considers the most significant byte, which is
always 0.
Also, we were writing 32 bits in an 8 bits field, so the write would
overflow, but since the following bytes are padding (the next field is
an uint64_t), it luckily didn't cause any issue on little endian
systems.
The fix was originally tested on ARM big endian systems, but I don't
have access to such a system. However, thanks to Marcin's PowerPC fast
tracepoint patches and gcc110 (big endian Power7) on the gcc compile
farm, I was able to reproduce the problem, test the fix and write a
test (the following patch).
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
YYYY-MM-DD Par Olsson <par.olsson@windriver.com>
* tracepoint.c (write_inferior_int8): New function.
(cmd_qtenable_disable): Write enable flag using
write_inferior_int8.
Some fast tracepoints tests make sure that the in-process agent library
is properly loaded, by searching for the library name in "info
sharedlibrary".
Originally, it would search for the full path. Since patch "Make ftrace
tests work with remote targets" [1], the "runtime" location of the IPA,
in the standard output directory, is not the same as the original
location, in the gdbserver build directory. Therefore, the patch
changed the checks:
gdb_test "info sharedlibrary" ".*${libipa}.*" "IPA loaded"
to
gdb_test "info sharedlibrary" ".*[file tail ${libipa}].*" "IPA loaded"
so that only the "libinproctrace.so" part would be searched for.
Antoine (in CC) pointed out that I missed some, so I have to update
them. In the mean time, I noticed that I missed a few test failures:
adding the SONAME to the IPA makes it possible for the test executable
to erroneously pick up libinproctrace.so from /usr/lib if the test
harness failed to put the libinproctrace.so we want to test in the right
place. To mitigate that kind of error in the future, we can use the
return value of gdb_load_shlib (the path of the "runtime" version of the
library) and use that to search in the output of info sharedlibrary.
When testing locally, gdb_load_shlib returns the full normalized path of
the destination library, which the test executable should use e.g.:
/path/to/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.trace/thetest/libinproctrace.so
My testing showed that it was the same path that gdb displayed in info
sharedlibrary. If the test executable picks up another
libinproctrace.so, the test will fail.
When testing remotely, gdb_load_shlib/gdb_remote_download only returns
us "libinproctrace.so", so the situation doesn't really change. If
there is a rogue libinproctrace.so in /usr/lib on the target and we fail
to download ours, it might cover up a test failure. But that situation
is probably still better than the original one, where it wasn't possible
to test remotely using the IPA at all.

Hi,
I happen to see that field need_step_over in struct lwp_info is only
used to print a debug info. need_step_over is set in linux_wait_1
when breakpoint_here is true, however, we check breakpoint_here too in
need_step_over_p and do the step over. I think we don't need field
need_step_over, and check breakpoint_here directly in need_step_over_p.
This field was added in this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00605.html and the code
wasn't changed much since then.
This patch is to remove it.

This patch makes gdb_load_shlibs return the destination path of the
copied library. To make the procedure implementation and interface more
straightforward, it also changes it so that it accepts a single shared
library path at the time. Therefore, calls that are passed multiple
libraries:
gdb_load_shlibs $lib1 $lib2
must be changed to separate calls:
gdb_load_shlibs $lib1
gdb_load_shlibs $lib2
A subtle impact is the solib-search-path handling. In the former
version, solib-search-path is set using the directory of the first
passed lib (further calls overwrite the value). In the later version,
the directory of the library passed to the last call to gdb_load_shlibs
remnains. I don't think that's a problem in practice, since if we had
tests that needed multiple different paths in solib-search-path, they
wouldn't work in the first place.

With current FSF GDB HEAD and old FSF gdbserver I expected I could do:
gdb -ex 'file target:/root/redhat/threadit' -ex 'target remote :1234'
(supplying that unsupported qXfer:exec-file:read by "file")
But that does not work because:
Sending packet: $vFile:setfs:0#bf...Packet received: OK
Packet vFile:setfs (hostio-setfs) is supported
...
Sending packet: $vFile:setfs:104#24...Packet received: OK
"target:/root/redhat/threadit": could not open as an executable file: Invalid argument
GDB documentation says:
The valid responses to Host I/O packets are:
An empty response indicates that this operation is not recognized.
This "empty response" vs. "OK" was a bug in gdbserver < 7.7. It was fixed by:

I get a timeout fail in branch-to-self.exp when it is compiled by a
bare-mental target running qemu, which doesn't have signal.
The test should be skipped if gdb,nosignals exists, and that is
what this patch does.

Currently c_value_print will turn struct reference values into pointers before
doing a set of RTTI checks. This was introduced as a fix to PR c++/15401.
If there's RTTI the pointer will be adjusted and converted back to a reference.
However, if there's no RTTI the value will still be treated as a pointer during
the remainder of the function.
This patch moves the conversion down so that it's always performed when needed.
Notice this currently has not user-visible effects, so can be seen as a small
code cleanup. However, it'll be necessary for the bug-fix for handling
synthetic C++ references. It causes no testsuite regressions.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-26 Martin Galvan <martin.galvan@tallertechnologies.com>
* c-valprint.c (c_value_print): Always convert val back to reference

In some babeltrace versions before 1.2.0, the header file iterator.h
declares the enum values `BT_SEEK_*' within the struct declaration of
bt_iter_pos. The enum values are supposed to be globally-scoped, which
works for C, but not for C++. Later babeltrace versions declare the
enum outside the struct:
https://lists.lttng.org/pipermail/lttng-dev/2013-September/021411.html
Now that GDB is compiled with C++, the GDB build fails on a system with
an affected babeltrace version: the compiler complains about a missing
declaration of BT_SEEK_BEGIN in ctf.c.
This patch enhances the configure check to recognize such babeltrace
versions as unusable for GDB.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Enhance configure check for babeltrace to reject
non-C++-enabled versions.
* configure: Regenerate.
Instead of pre-computing indices into a fortran array re-use
the value_* interfaces to subscript a fortran array.
The benefit of using the new interface is that it takes care of
dynamic types and resolve them when needed.
This fixes issues when printing structures with dynamic arrays from toplevel.

Fortran supports dynamic types for which bounds, size and location
can vary during their lifetime. As a result of the dynamic
behaviour, they have to be resolved at every query.
This patch will resolve the type of a structure field when it
is dynamic.

When GDBserver steps over a breakpoint using software single step, it
enqueues the signal, single step and deliver the signal in the next
resume if step over is not needed. In this way, the program won't
receive the signal if the conditional breakpoint is set a branch to
self instruction, because the step over is always needed.
This patch removes the restriction that don't deliver the signal to
the inferior if we are trying to reinsert a breakpoint for software
single step and change the decision on resume vs. step-over when the
LWP has pending signals to deliver.
gdb/gdbserver:
2016-04-25 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-low.c (lwp_signal_can_be_delivered): Adjust.
(need_step_over_p): Return zero if the LWP has pending signals
can be delivered on software single step target.
GDBserver steps over a breakpoint while the single step breakpoint
is inserted at the same address, there are two breakpoint objects
using single raw breakpoint, which is inserted (for single step).
When step over is finished, GDBserver reinsert the breakpoint, but
it finds the raw breakpoint is already inserted, and error out
"Breakpoint already inserted at reinsert time." Even if I change the
order to delete reinsert breakpoints first (which only decreases the
refcount, but leave inserted flag unchanged), the error is still
there.
The fix is to remove the error and return instead.
gdb/gdbserver:
2016-04-25 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* linux-low.c (reinsert_raw_breakpoint): If bp->inserted is true
return instead of error.
When GDBserver inserts a breakpoint, it looks for raw breakpoint, if
the raw breakpoint is found, increase its refcount, and return. This
doesn't work when it steps over a breakpoint using software single
step and the underneath instruction of breakpoint is branch to self.
When stepping over a breakpoint on ADDR using software single step,
GDBserver uninsert the breakpoint, so the corresponding raw breakpoint
RAW's 'inserted' flag is zero. Then, GDBserver insert single step
breakpoint at the same address ADDR because the instruction is branch
to self, the same raw brekapoint RAW is found, and increase the
refcount. However, the raw breakpoint is not inserted, and the
program won't stop.
gdb/gdbserver:
2016-04-25 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* mem-break.c (set_raw_breakpoint_at): Create a raw breakpoint
object. Insert it if it is not inserted yet. Increase the
refcount and link it into the proc's raw breakpoint list.
GDB doesn't insert software single step breakpoint if the instruction
branches to itself, so that the program can't stop after command "si".

breakpoint.c:should_be_inserted thinks the breakpoint shouldn't be
inserted, which is wrong. This patch restrict the condition that
only skip the non-single-step breakpoints if they are inserted at
the place we are stepping over, however we don't want to skip
single-step breakpoint if its thread is the thread we are stepping
over, so in this patch, I add a thread num in 'struct step_over_info'
to record the thread we're stepping over.

I am seeing some test fails in gdb.trace/unavailable.exp on aarch64-linux,
like this,

The fix is exactly the same as this one

Before this patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00709.html
read_value_memory checks parameter 'stack', and call read_stack or
read_memory respectively. However, 'stack' is not checked and
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY is always used in target_xfer_partial, which is
a mistake in the patch above.
This patch checks parameter 'stack', and choose TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY
or TARGET_OBJECT_STACK_MEMORY accordingly.
gdb:
2016-04-22 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* valops.c (read_value_memory): New local variable 'stack'.
Set it to either TARGET_OBJECT_STACK_MEMORY or
TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY.
This factors out all the yy-variables remapping to a single file,
instead of each parser having to do the same, with different prefixes.
With this, a parser just needs to define the prefix they want and
include yy-remap.h, which does the dirty job.
Note this renames the c_error, ada_error, etc. functions. Writing the
remapping pattern as:
#define yyerror GDB_YY_REMAP (error)
instead of:
#define yyerror GDB_YY_REMAP (yyerror)
would have avoided the renaming. However, that would be problematic
if we have a macro 'foo' in scope, when we write:
#define yyfoo GDB_YY_REMAP (foo)
as that would expand 'foo'.
The c_yyerror etc. naming end ups indicating that this is a yacc
related function more clearly, so feels like a good change, anyway.
