Some analysis we did here showed that increasing the cap on the
transfer size in target.c:memory_xfer_partial could give 20% or more
improvement in remote load across JTAG. Transfer sizes were capped
to 4K bytes because of performance problems encountered with the
restore command, documented here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00611.html
and in commit 67c059c29e ("Improve performance of large restore
commands").
The 4K cap was introduced because in a case where the restore command
requested a 100MB transfer, memory_xfer_partial would repeatedy
allocate and copy an entire 100MB buffer in order to properly handle
breakpoint shadow instructions, even though memory_xfer_partial would
actually only write a small portion of the buffer contents.
A couple of alternative solutions were suggested:
* change the algorithm for handling the breakpoint shadow instructions
* throttle the transfer size up or down based on the previous actual
transfer size
I tried implementing the throttling approach, and my implementation
reduced the performance in some cases.
This patch implements a new target function that returns that target's
limit on memory transfer size. It defaults to ULONGEST_MAX bytes,
because for native targets there is no marshaling and thus no limit is
needed. For remote targets it uses get_memory_write_packet_size.

Feature flag handling was not perfect, +nofp16 disabled fp
instructions too.
New feature flag macros were added to check features with multiple
bits set (matters for FP_F16 and SIMD_F16 opcode feature tests).
The unused AARCH64_OPCODE_HAS_FEATURE was removed, all checks should
use one of the AARCH64_CPU_HAS_* macros. AARCH64_CPU_HAS_FEATURE
now checks all feature bits.
The aarch64_features table now contains the dependencies as
a separate field (so when the feature is enabled all dependencies
are enabled and when it is disabled everything that depends on it
is disabled).
Note that armv8-a+foo+nofoo is not equivalent to armv8-a if
+foo turns on dependent features that nofoo does not turn off.

Move the debug register support code from amd64bsd-nat.c and
i386bsd-nat.c into a shared x86bsd-nat.c.
Instead of setting up x86_dr_low in amd64fbsd-nat.c and
i386fbsd-nat.c, add a x86bsd_target function that creates a new target
that inherits from inf_ptrace and sets up x86 debug registers if
supported. In addition to initializing x86_dr_low, the x86bsd target
installs a custom mourn_inferior target operation to clean up the
x86 debug register state. Previously this was only done on amd64.
Now it will be done for both i386 and amd64. The i386bsd_target and
amd64bsd_target functions create targets that inherit from x86bsd
rather than inf_ptrace.

The jit-reader.exp test isn't really exercising the jit-reader's
unwinder API at all. This commit address that, and then fixes GDB
problems exposed.
- The custom JIT reader provided for the jit-reader.exp testcase
always rejects the jitted function's frame...
This is because the custom JIT reader in the testcase never ever
sets state->code_begin/end, so the bounds check in
gdb.base/jitreader.c:unwind_frame:
if (this_ip >= state->code_end || this_ip < state->code_begin)
return GDB_FAIL;
tends to fail, unless you're "lucky" (because it references
uninitialized data).
The result is that GDB is always actually using a built-in unwinder
for the jitted function.
- The provided unwinder doesn't do anything that GDB's built-in
unwinder can't do.
IOW, we can't really tell whether the JIT reader's unwinder is
working or not.
I fixed that by making the jitted function mangle its own stack
pointer with a xor, and then teaching the jit unwinder to demangle
it back (another xor). So now "backtrace" with GDB's built-in
unwinder fails while with the jit unwinder, it succeeds.
- GDB crashes after unloading the JIT reader, and flushing frames...
I made the testcase use the "flushregs" command after unloading the
JIT reader, to force the JIT frames to be flushed. However, that
crashes GDB...
When reinit_frame_cache tears down a frame's cache, it calls its
unwinder's dealloc_cache method, which for JIT frames ends up in
jit.c:jit_dealloc_cache. This function calls each of the frame's
gdb_reg_value's "free" pointer:
for (i = 0; i < gdbarch_num_regs (frame_arch); i++)
if (priv_data->registers[i] && priv_data->registers[i]->free)
priv_data->registers[i]->free (priv_data->registers[i]);
and the problem is these gdb_reg_value instances have been returned
by the JIT reader that has been already unloaded, and their "free"
function pointers likely point to functions in the DSO that has
already been unloaded...
A fix for that could be to call reinit_frame_cache in
jit_reader_unload_command _before_ unloading the jit reader DSO so
that the jit reader is given a chance to clean up the gdb_reg_values
before it is unloaded. However, the fix for the point below makes
this unnecessary, because it stops jit.c from keeping around
gdb_reg_values in the first place.
- However, it still makes sense to clear the frame cache when loading
or unloading a JIT unwinder.
This makes testing a JIT unwinder a bit simpler.
- Not only the frame cache actually -- gdb is not unloading the
jit-registered objfiles when the JIT reader is unloaded, and not
loading the already-registered descriptors when a JIT reader is
loaded.
The new test exercises unloading the jit reader, loading it back
again, and then making sure the JIT reader's unwinder works again.
Without the unload/re-load of already-read descriptors, the newly
loaded JIT would have no idea where the new function is, because
it's stored at symbol read time.
- I added a couple "info frame" calls to the test, and that
crashes GDB...
The problem is that jit_frame_prev_register assumes it'll only be
called for raw registers, so when it gets a pseudo register number,
the "priv->registers[reg]" access is really an out-of-bounds access.
To fix that, I made jit_frame_prev_register use
gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value for reading the pseudo-registers.
However, that works with a regcache and we don't have one. To fix
that, I made the JIT unwinder store a regcache in its cache instead
of an array of gdb_reg_value pointers.

This commit fixes detaching on Linux when some thread exits the whole
thread group (process) just while we're detaching.
On Linux, a ptracer must detach from each LWP individually, with
PTRACE_DETACH. Since PTRACE_DETACH sets the thread running free, if
one of the already-detached threads causes the whole thread group to
exit (e.g., simply calls exit), the kernel force-kills the other
threads in the group, making them zombie, just as we're still
detaching them. Since PTRACE_DETACH against a zombie thread fails
with ESRCH, and gdb/gdbserver are not expecting this, the detach fails
with an error like: "Can't detach process: No such process.".
This patch detects this detach failure as normal, and instead of
erroring out, reaps the now-dead thread.
New test included, that exercises several different scenarios that
cause GDB/GDBserver to error out when it should not.
Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux with {unix, native-gdbserver,
native-extended-gdbserver}
Note: without the previous fix, the "single-process + continue"
variant of the new test would fail with:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: switch to parent

If you have two inferiors (or more), set watchpoints in one of the
inferiors, and then that inferior exits, until you manually delete the
watchpoint (or something forces a breakpoint re-set), you can't resume
the other inferior.
This is exercised by the test added by this commit. Without the GDB
fix, this test fails like this:
FAIL: gdb.multi/watchpoint-multi-exit.exp: dispose=kill: continue to marker in inferior 1
FAIL: gdb.multi/watchpoint-multi-exit.exp: dispose=detach: continue to marker in inferior 1
FAIL: gdb.multi/watchpoint-multi-exit.exp: dispose=exit: continue to marker in inferior 1
and gdb.log shows (in all three cases):
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Warning:
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 2.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.
Command aborted.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/watchpoint-multi-exit.exp: dispose=kill: continue to marker in inferior 1
The problem is that GDB doesn't forget about the locations of
watchpoints set in the inferior that is now dead. When we try to
continue the inferior that is still alive, we reach
insert_breakpoint_locations, which has the the loop that triggers the
error:
/* If we failed to insert all locations of a watchpoint, remove
them, as half-inserted watchpoint is of limited use. */
That loop finds locations that are not marked inserted, but which
according to should_be_inserted should have been inserted, and so
errors out.

Several targets have a copy of the same code that prints

in their target_detach implementation. Factor that out to a common

(For now, I left the couple targets that print this a bit differently
alone. Maybe this could be further pulled out into infcmd.c. If we
did that, and those targets want to continue printing differently,
this new function could be converted to a target method.)

While address overrides are ignored in 64-bit mode (and hence shouldn't
really result in an error, but upon v1 converting this to a warning I
was told otherwise), trying to use 16-bit addressing is documented to
result in #UD, and hence the assembler should reject the attempt. (The
added test case at once also checks that bndc{l,n,u} won't accept
16-bit register operands.)
... due to their last byte looking like a suffix, when after its
stripping a matching instruction can be found. Since memory operand
size specifiers in Intel mode get converted into suffix representation
internally, we need to keep track of the actual mnemonic suffix which
may have got trimmed off, and check its validity while looking for a
matching template. I tripper over this quite some time again after
support for AMD's SSE5 instructions got removed, as at that point some
of the SSE5 mnemonics, other than expected, didn't fail to assemble.
But the problem affects many more instructions, namely (almost) all
MMX, SSE, and AVX ones as it looks. I don't think it makes sense to
add a testcase covering all of them, nor do I think it makes sense to
pick out some random examples for a new test case.
... just like is already the case for 16- and 32-bit movzb: I can't see
why omitting suffixes on this (and movs{b,w,l}) is not allowed, when it
is allowed for all other instructions where the suffix is redundant
with (one of) the operands.
The dual purpose mnemonic (string move vs scalar double move) breaks
the assumption that the isstring flag would be set on both the first
and last entry in the current set of templates, which results in bogus
or missing diagnostics for the string move variant of the mnemonic.
Short of mostly rewriting i386_index_check() and its interaction with
the rest of the code, simply shrink the template set to just string
instructions when encountering the second memory operand, and run
i386_index_check() a second time for the first memory operand after
that reduction.
This patch fixes the typo "uf" in the comment. I'll push it in as the

triggered by assembling MIPS16 code like:
hello:
addiu $4, $4, 4
jr $31
with the generation of a listing file enabled, e.g.:
$ as -mips16 -O2 -aln=test.lst
The cause of the problem is the lack of support for moving instructions
across frags in MIPS16 jump swapping, which triggers more easily with
listing enabled as in that case every instruction gets placed in its own
frag. It would trigger even with listing disabled though if the
instruction to swap a MIPS16 jump with was unfortunately enough placed
as last in a frag that became full.
This scenario is already handled correctly with branch swapping in
regular MIPS and microMIPS code, so reuse it for MIPS16 code as well,
and now that all MIPS16 handling has become the same as the regular MIPS
and microMIPS cases remove MIPS16 special casing altogether.
This effectively complements:

on targets whose default text section alignment is above 0, typically
RISC machines.
This is due to an attempt to set last text section's frag alignment to
0, requested from `subsegs_finish_section' where `frag_align_code
(alignment, 0)' is called with `alignment' set to 0 rather than the
section alignment if `had_errors' has returned true. The call to
`subsegs_finish_section' is made from `subsegs_finish' from
`write_object_file' at unsuccessful completion, which previously wasn't
made.
Always set last section's frag alignment from the section alignment
then, forcing no section padding instead if completing unsuccessfully,
so that in that case alignment padding is still suppressed from any
listing generated, fixing assertion failures for these targets:

Commit 51f77c3704 ("Add testing infrastruture bits for running with
MI on a separate UI") broke MI testing with native-gdbserver:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver mi-var-child.exp"
...
Running .../src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/mi-var-child.exp ...
can't unset "inferior_spawn_id": no such variable
while executing
"unset inferior_spawn_id"
(procedure "close_gdbserver" line 20)
invoked from within
"close_gdbserver"
...
When testing with gdbserver, gdb_exit is overridden with a special
version that calls close_gdbserver, which clears inferior_spawn_id.
The problem is that the commit mentioned above made
gdb_exit/mi_gdb_exit clear inferior_spawn_id too, and clearing a
non-existing variable is a tcl error.
Since gdb_exit/mi_gdb_exit always clears inferior_spawn_id now, the
fix is simply to stop clearing it in close_gdbserver.

With GCC 6 when not using -static-libstdc++, the operator delete(void*)
function is defined in the shared C++ support library, rather than in
the main program. The test script is too aggressive in checking for
this symbol's presence among the exported symbols. This patch removes
the check for that symbol.

PR python/20129 concerns the error message one gets from a command
like "disable frame-filter global NoSuchFilter". Currently this

the correct variable name.

PR gdb/17210 concerns a possible memory leak in read_memory_robust.
The bug can happen because read_memory_robust allocates memory, does
not install any cleanups, and invokes QUIT. Similarly, target_read
calls QUIT, so it too can potentially throw.
The fix is to install cleanups to guard the allocated memory.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23. I couldn't think of a way to
test this, so no new test; and of course this means it should have
more careful review.

Currently, we use 123456789 as unknown or illegal syscall number, and
expect program return ENOSYS. Although 123456789 is an illegal syscall
number on arm linux, kernel sends SIGILL rather than returns -ENOSYS.
However, arm linux kernel returns -ENOSYS if syscall number is within
0xf0001..0xf07ff, so we can use 0xf07ff for unknown_syscall in test.
