Today, GDB only allows a single displaced stepping operation to happen
per inferior at a time. There is a single displaced stepping buffer per
inferior, whose address is fixed (obtained with
gdbarch_displaced_step_location), managed by infrun.c.
In the case of the AMD ROCm target [1] (in the context of which this
work has been done), it is typical to have thousands of threads (or
waves, in SMT terminology) executing the same code, hitting the same
breakpoint (possibly conditional) and needing to to displaced step it at
the same time. The limitation of only one displaced step executing at a
any given time becomes a real bottleneck.
To fix this bottleneck, we want to make it possible for threads of a
same inferior to execute multiple displaced steps in parallel. This
patch builds the foundation for that.
In essence, this patch moves the task of preparing a displaced step and
cleaning up after to gdbarch functions. This allows using different
schemes for allocating and managing displaced stepping buffers for
different platforms. The gdbarch decides how to assign a buffer to a
thread that needs to execute a displaced step.
On the ROCm target, we are able to allocate one displaced stepping
buffer per thread, so a thread will never have to wait to execute a
displaced step.
On Linux, the entry point of the executable if used as the displaced
stepping buffer, since we assume that this code won't get used after
startup. From what I saw (I checked with a binary generated against
glibc and musl), on AMD64 we have enough space there to fit two
displaced stepping buffers. A subsequent patch makes AMD64/Linux use
two buffers.
In addition to having multiple displaced stepping buffers, there is also
the idea of sharing displaced stepping buffers between threads. Two
threads doing displaced steps for the same PC could use the same buffer
at the same time. Two threads stepping over the same instruction (same
opcode) at two different PCs may also be able to share a displaced
stepping buffer. This is an idea for future patches, but the
architecture built by this patch is made to allow this.
Now, the implementation details. The main part of this patch is moving
the responsibility of preparing and finishing a displaced step to the
gdbarch. Before this patch, preparing a displaced step is driven by the
displaced_step_prepare_throw function. It does some calls to the
gdbarch to do some low-level operations, but the high-level logic is
there. The steps are roughly:
- Ask the gdbarch for the displaced step buffer location
- Save the existing bytes in the displaced step buffer
- Ask the gdbarch to copy the instruction into the displaced step buffer
- Set the pc of the thread to the beginning of the displaced step buffer
Similarly, the "fixup" phase, executed after the instruction was
successfully single-stepped, is driven by the infrun code (function
displaced_step_finish). The steps are roughly:
- Restore the original bytes in the displaced stepping buffer
- Ask the gdbarch to fixup the instruction result (adjust the target's
registers or memory to do as if the instruction had been executed in
its original location)
The displaced_step_inferior_state::step_thread field indicates which
thread (if any) is currently using the displaced stepping buffer, so it
is used by displaced_step_prepare_throw to check if the displaced
stepping buffer is free to use or not.
This patch defers the whole task of preparing and cleaning up after a
displaced step to the gdbarch. Two new main gdbarch methods are added,
with the following semantics:
- gdbarch_displaced_step_prepare: Prepare for the given thread to
execute a displaced step of the instruction located at its current PC.
Upon return, everything should be ready for GDB to resume the thread
(with either a single step or continue, as indicated by
gdbarch_displaced_step_hw_singlestep) to make it displaced step the
instruction.
- gdbarch_displaced_step_finish: Called when the thread stopped after
having started a displaced step. Verify if the instruction was
executed, if so apply any fixup required to compensate for the fact
that the instruction was executed at a different place than its
original pc. Release any resources that were allocated for this
displaced step. Upon return, everything should be ready for GDB to
resume the thread in its "normal" code path.
The displaced_step_prepare_throw function now pretty much just offloads
to gdbarch_displaced_step_prepare and the displaced_step_finish function
offloads to gdbarch_displaced_step_finish.
The gdbarch_displaced_step_location method is now unnecessary, so is
removed. Indeed, the core of GDB doesn't know how many displaced step
buffers there are nor where they are.
To keep the existing behavior for existing architectures, the logic that
was previously implemented in infrun.c for preparing and finishing a
displaced step is moved to displaced-stepping.c, to the
displaced_step_buffer class. Architectures are modified to implement
the new gdbarch methods using this class. The behavior is not expected
to change.
The other important change (which arises from the above) is that the
core of GDB no longer prevents concurrent displaced steps. Before this
patch, start_step_over walks the global step over chain and tries to
initiate a step over (whether it is in-line or displaced). It follows
these rules:
- if an in-line step is in progress (in any inferior), don't start any
other step over
- if a displaced step is in progress for an inferior, don't start
another displaced step for that inferior
After starting a displaced step for a given inferior, it won't start
another displaced step for that inferior.
In the new code, start_step_over simply tries to initiate step overs for
all the threads in the list. But because threads may be added back to
the global list as it iterates the global list, trying to initiate step
overs, start_step_over now starts by stealing the global queue into a
local queue and iterates on the local queue. In the typical case, each
thread will either:
- have initiated a displaced step and be resumed
- have been added back by the global step over queue by
displaced_step_prepare_throw, because the gdbarch will have returned
that there aren't enough resources (i.e. buffers) to initiate a
displaced step for that thread
Lastly, if start_step_over initiates an in-line step, it stops
iterating, and moves back whatever remaining threads it had in its local
step over queue to the global step over queue.
Two other gdbarch methods are added, to handle some slightly annoying
corner cases. They feel awkwardly specific to these cases, but I don't
see any way around them:
- gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn_closure_by_addr: in
arm_pc_is_thumb, arm-tdep.c wants to get the closure for a given
buffer address.
- gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid: when a process forks
(at least on Linux), the address space is copied. If some displaced
step buffers were in use at the time of the fork, we need to restore
the original bytes in the child's address space.
These two adjustments are also made in infrun.c:
- prepare_for_detach: there may be multiple threads doing displaced
steps when we detach, so wait until all of them are done
- handle_inferior_event: when we handle a fork event for a given
thread, it's possible that other threads are doing a displaced step at
the same time. Make sure to restore the displaced step buffer
contents in the child for them.

This is a preparatory patch to reduce the size of the diff of the
upcoming main patch. It introduces enum types for the return values of
displaced step "prepare" and "finish" operations. I find that this
expresses better the intention of the code, rather than returning
arbitrary integer values (-1, 0 and 1) which are difficult to remember.
That makes the code easier to read.
I put the new enum types in a new displaced-stepping.h file, because I
introduce that file in a later patch anyway. Putting it there avoids
having to move it later.
There is one change in behavior for displaced_step_finish: it currently
returns 0 if the thread wasn't doing a displaced step and 1 if the
thread was doing a displaced step which was executed successfully. It
turns out that this distinction is not needed by any caller, so I've
merged these two cases into "_OK", rather than adding an extra
enumerator.

This is a preparatory patch to reduce a little bit the diff size of the
main patch later in this series. It renames the displaced_step_fixup
function in infrun.c to displaced_step_finish.
The rationale is to better differentiate the low and high level
operations.
We first have the low level operation of writing an instruction to a
displaced buffer, called "copy_insn". The mirror low level operation to
fix up the state after having executed the instruction is "fixup". The
high level operation of preparing a thread for a displaced step (which
includes doing the "copy_insn" and some more bookkeeping) is called
"prepare" (as in displaced_step_prepare). The mirror high level
operation to cleaning up after a displaced step (which includes doing
the "fixup" and some more bookkeeping) is currently also called "fixup"
(as in displaced_step_fixup), just like the low level operation.
I think that choosing a different name for the low and high level
cleanup operation makes it clearer, hence "finish".

(displaced_step_finish): ... this, update all callers.

Rename step_over_queue_head to global_thread_step_over_chain_head, to
make it more obvious when reading code that we are touching the global
queue. Rename all functions that operate on it to have "global" in
their name, to make it clear on which chain they operate on. Also, in a
subsequent patch, we'll need both global and non-global versions of
these functions, so it will be easier to do the distinction if they are
named properly.
Normalize the naming to use "chain" everywhere instead of sometimes
"queue", sometimes "chain".
I also reworded a few comments in gdbthread.h. They implied that the
step over chain is per-inferior, when in reality there is only one
global chain, not one per inferior, as far as I understand.

Remove function get_displaced_stepping_state. When it was introduced,
inferiors' displaced stepping state was kept in a linked list in
infrun.c, so it was handy. Nowadays, the state is kept inside struct
inferior directly, so we can just access it directly instead.

In handle_inferior_event, where we handle forks, we make sure to restore
the bytes of the displaced stepping buffer in the child's address
space. However, we only do it when the forking thread was the one
doing a displaced step. It could happen that a thread forks while
another one is doing a displaced step. In this case, we also need to
restore the bytes in the child.
Move the byte-restoring code outside of the condition that checks
whether the event thread was displaced stepping.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Restore displaced step
buffer bytes in child process when handling fork, even if fork
happened in another thread than the displaced-stepping one.

When a process does an exec, all its program space is replaced with the
newly loaded executable. All non-main threads disappear and the main
thread starts executing at the entry point of the new executable.
Things can go wrong if a displaced step operation is in progress while
we process the exec event.
If the main thread is the one executing the displaced step: when that
thread (now executing in the new executable) stops somewhere (say, at a
breakpoint), displaced_step_fixup will run and clear up the state. We
will execute the "fixup" phase for the instruction we single-stepped in
the old program space. We are now in a completely different context,
so doing the fixup may corrupt the state.
If it is a non-main thread that is doing the displaced step: while
handling the exec event, GDB deletes the thread_info representing that
thread (since the thread doesn't exist in the inferior after the exec).
But inferior::displaced_step_state::step_thread will still point to it.
When handling events later, this condition, in displaced_step_fixup,
will likely never be true:
/* Was this event for the thread we displaced? */
if (displaced->step_thread != event_thread)
return 0;
... since displaced->step_thread points to a deleted thread (unless that
storage gets re-used for a new thread_info, but that wouldn't be good
either). This effectively makes the displaced stepping buffer occupied
for ever. When a thread in the new program space will want to do a
displaced step, it will wait for ever.
I think we simply need to reset the displaced stepping state of the
inferior on exec. Everything execution-related that existed before the
exec is now gone.
Similarly, if a thread does an in-line step over an exec syscall
instruction, nothing clears the in-line step over info when the event is
handled. So it the in-line step over info stays there indefinitely, and
things hang because we can never start another step over. To fix this,
I added a call to clear_step_over_info in infrun_inferior_execd.
Add a test with a program with two threads that does an exec. The test
includes the following axes:
- whether it's the leader thread or the other thread that does the exec.
- whether the exec'r and exec'd program have different text segment
addresses. This is to hopefully catch cases where the displaced
stepping info doesn't get reset, and GDB later tries to restore bytes
of the old address space in the new address space. If the mapped
addresses are different, we should get some memory error. This
happens without the patch applied:

To be able to precisely put a breakpoint on the syscall instruction, I
added a small assembly file (lib/my-syscalls.S) that contains minimal
Linux syscall wrappers. I prefer that to the strategy used in
gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp, which is to stepi into the glibc wrapper
until we find something that looks like a syscall instruction, I find
that more predictable.

When using the single-element form of argument to declare_labels, the
generated label (in the assembly file) is of the format ".LlabelN",
where N is a number.
I propose making it use the name of the label by default. Calling:
declare_labels foo
will generate the ".LfooN" in the assembly file (again, where N is a
number). When debugging the output of the DWARF assembler, it makes it
easier to map labels to the source. Also, when defining the same label
twice by mistake in the Tcl code (like I d id), it's easier to track the
error from the message to the root cause:
-/home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece/implptrpiece-dw.S:62: Error: symbol `.Llabel5' is already defined
+/home/smarchi/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/implptrpiece/implptrpiece-dw.S:62: Error: symbol `.Lvar_label5' is already defined

* gdb.reverse/insn-reverse-x86.c: Guard x86_64 assembly with #ifdef
__x86_64__.
Consider test-case gdb.reverse/insn-reverse.exp.
It runs a number of subtests, dependent on the architecture, f.i. for
x86_64 it runs subtests rdrand and rdseed.
For each subtest, it checks whether the subtest is supported and otherwise
bails out of that subtest.
However, there may be a problem with the support test or the information it
relies on, and if it states that a subtest is supported while it is actually
not, we may run into a SIGILL, as f.i. described in PR21166, which results in
tcl errors like this:
...
ERROR: tcl error sourcing src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/insn-reverse.exp.
ERROR: can't read "insn_array(5)": no such element in array
...
We can emulate this by inserting a sigfpe in function rdrand in
insn-reverse-x86.c, like this:
...
volatile int a = 0; volatile int b = 1; volatile int c = b / a;
...
The problem is that the loop in the test-case attempts to stepi over of all
insn in rdrand, but because of the signal it will never get to the last insn.
Handle this by detecting that the stepi made no progress, and bailing out of
the loop.
Furthermore, make running of the subtests independent, such that a SIGILL in
subtest rdrand does not affect running of subtest rdseed.

When linking an undecorated reference to foo against such a shared
library, ld complains about multiple definitions of foo@v1 while gold
creates a dynamic reference to foo@v1. That results in foo@v1 being
used at runtime.
While we could error in both cases, it is reasonable to say foo@v1 and
foo@@v1 are in fact the same symbol. (Same name, same version. The
only real difference is that foo@@v1 satisfies a reference to plain
foo, while foo@v1 does not.) Just as merging a weak undecorated sym
with a strong sym results in the strong sym prevailing, so should the
strong foo@v1 prevail. And since there is a definition that satisfies
plain foo, the foo@@v1 variety of dynamic symbol should be emitted at
the foo@v1 value. That makes the testcase that currently links
continue to produce a shared library, and that shared library can now
be used by both ld and gold with the same runtime behaviour as when
using gold with the odd dynamic symbol library.

This commit started as adding rv32e support to gdb. The rv32e
architecture is a cut-down rv32i, it only has 16 x-registers compared
to the usual 32, and an rv32e target should not have any floating
point registers.
In order to add this I needed to adjust the target description
validation checks that are performed from riscv_gdbarch_init, and I
finally got fed up with the current scheme of doing these checks and
rewrote this code.
Unfortunately the rv32e changes are currently mixed in with the
rewrite of the validation scheme. I could split these apart if anyone
is really interested in seeing these two ideas as separate patches.
The main idea behind this change is that where previously I tried to
have a purely data driven approach, a set of tables one for each
expected feature, and then a single generic function that would
validate a feature given a table, I have created a new class for each
feature. Each class has its own check member function which allows
the logic for how to check each feature to be different. I think the
new scheme is much easier to follow.
There are some other changes that I made to the validation code as
part of this commit.
I've relaxed some of the checks related to the floating point CSRs.
Previously the 3 CSRs fflags, frm, and fcsr all had to be present in
either the fpu feature or the csr feature. This requirement is now
relaxed, if the CSRs are not present then gdb will not reject the
target description. My thinking here is that there's no gdb
functionality that specifically requires these registers, and so, if a
target offers a description without these registers nothing else in
gdb should stop working.
And as part of the rv32e support targets now only have to provide the
first 16 x-registers and $pc. The second half of the x-registers (x16
-> x31) are now optional.

Date: Tue Jun 9 17:38:30 2020 +0100
gdb/riscv: Improved register alias name creation
RISC-V GDB was changed to make use of the DECLARE_CSR_ALIAS macro to
define register aliases for some CSRs. Actually, only one alias was
created 'dscratch' as an alias for 'dscratch0'. All of the other
DECLARE_CSR_ALIAS lines (from include/opcode/riscv-opc.h) were
filtered out.
In this commit:
commit 08ccfccf0e
Date: Mon Jun 8 10:54:53 2020 +0800
RISC-V: Support debug and float CSR as the unprivileged ones.
Changes were made to include/opcode/riscv-opc.h so that GDB no longer
created even the dscratch alias.
This caused a test failure in gdb.arch/riscv-tdesc-regs.exp.
In looking at how to address this failure I think that the best
strategy is, for now at least, to just remove the code that tries to
create aliases with DECLARE_CSR_ALIAS.
My thoughts are that:
1. At least some of the aliases are for CSRs where the register now
has a completely different use. Being able to reference the CSR
using a completely inappropriate name just seems confusing. This
was solved by the filtering added in the first commit referenced
above. But we certainly don't want to blindly add all aliases.
2. Names presented in a target description are always honoured, so
if a user has a legacy target then they should just start sending a
target description with their legacy register names in, this problem
is then solved.
3. It's easy enough to figure out which CSRs a target has with the
info registers command, so missing an alias shouldn't be a big
issue.
4. Allowing users to use names for registers that differ from the
names the target announces doesn't feel like a critical feature. If
in the future targets want multiple names for a register then maybe
we could/should extend target descriptions to allow the target to
send aliases as well as the primary name.... but that can wait for
another day.
So in this commit I remove the use of DECLARE_CSR_ALIAS, and remove
the test that was failing.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* riscv-tdep.c (riscv_create_csr_aliases): Remove use of
DECLARE_CSR_ALIAS.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/riscv-tdesc-regs.exp: Remove unwanted test.
Unknown riscv CSRs should not be in the 'general' group, but should be
in the system and csr register groups.
To see this in action connect to QEMU, this target advertises two
registers dscratch and mucounteren which are unknown to GDB (these are
legacy CSRs). Before this commit these registers would show up in the
output of:
(gdb) info registers
....
dscratch Could not fetch register "dscratch"; remote failure reply 'E14'
mucounteren Could not fetch register "mucounteren"; remote failure reply 'E14'
Ignore the errors, this is just a QEMU annoyance, it advertises these
CSRs, but doesn't actually let GDB read them. These registers don't
show up in the output of either:
(gdb) info registers csr
(gdb) info registers system
After this commit this situation is reveresed, which makes more sense
to me.

When Debian (and Ubuntu) builds its binaries, it (still) doesn't use
dwz's "--relative" option. This causes their debuginfo files to
carry a .gnu_debugaltlink section containing a full pathname to the
DWZ alt debug file, like this:
$ readelf -wk /usr/bin/cat
Contents of the .gnu_debugaltlink section:
Separate debug info file: /usr/lib/debug/.dwz/x86_64-linux-gnu/coreutils.debug
Build-ID (0x14 bytes):
ee 76 5d 71 97 37 ce 46 99 44 32 bb e8 a9 1a ef 99 96 88 db
Contents of the .gnu_debuglink section:
Separate debug info file: 06d3bee37b8c7e67b31cb2689cb351102ae73b.debug
CRC value: 0x53267655
This usually works OK, because most of the debuginfo files installed
via apt will be present in /usr/lib/debug anyway. However, imagine
the following scenario:
- You are using /usr/bin/cat, it crashes on you and generates a
corefile.
- You don't want/need to "apt install" the debuginfo file for
coreutils from the repositories. Instead, you already have the
debuginfo files in a separate directory (e.g., $HOME/dbgsym).
- You start GDB and "set debug-file-directory $HOME/dbgsym/usr/lib/debug".
You then get the following message:
$ gdb -ex 'set debug-file-directory ./dbgsym/usr/lib/debug' -ex 'file /bin/cat' -ex 'core-file ./cat.core'
GNU gdb (Ubuntu 10.1-0ubuntu1) 10.1

This error happens because GDB is trying to locate the build-id
link (inside /home/sergio/gdb/dbgsym/usr/lib/debug/.build-id) for the
DWZ alt debug file, which doesn't exist. Arguably, this is a problem
with how dh_dwz works in Debian, and it's something I'm also planning
to tackle. But, back at the problem at hand.
Besides not being able to find the build-id link in the directory
mentioned above, GDB also tried to open the DWZ alt file using its
filename. The problem here is that, since we don't have the distro's
debuginfo installed, it can't find anything under /usr/lib/debug that
satisfies it.
It occurred to me that a good way to workaround this problem is to
actually try to locate the DWZ alt debug file inside the
debug-file-directories (that were likely provided by the user). So
this is what the proposed patch does.
The idea here is simple: get the filename extracted from the
.gnu_debugaltlink section, and manipulate it in order to replace the
initial part of the path (everything before "/.dwz/") by whatever
debug-file-directories the user might have provided.
I talked with Mark Wielaard and he agrees this is a sensible approach.
In fact, apparently this is something that eu-readelf also does.
I regtested this code, and no regressions were found.

* dwarf2/read.c (dwz_search_other_debugdirs): New function.
(dwarf2_get_dwz_file): Convert 'filename' to a
std::string. Use dwz_search_other_debugdirs to search for DWZ
files in the debug-file-directories provided by the user as well.
In another series I'm working on, it is necessary to manage
"struct expression" with new and delete. Because the patch is
straightforward and could be extracted, I've done so here.

* parse.c (expr_builder::expr_builder): Initialize expout.
(expr_builder::release): Use expression::resize.
(expression::expression, expression::~expression)
(expression::resize): New methods.
(write_exp_elt): Use expression::resize.

* expression.h (struct expression): Add constructor, destructor.
<resize>: New method.
(expression_up): Change type.
Replace the manual with_test_prefix in the do_test proc with using
foreach_with_prefix at the top-level. This helps reduce the indentation
level of the code a bit, and makes the test names in sync with the
variable names used in the code.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp: Use foreach_with_prefix.
(do_test): Don't use with_test_prefix.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp: Use foreach_with_prefix.
(do_test): Don't use with_test_prefix.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp: Use foreach_with_prefix.
(do_test): Don't use with_test_prefix.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp: Use foreach_with_prefix.
(do_test): Don't use with_test_prefix.

Power 10 introduces the 2nd DAWR (second watchpoint) and also removed
a restriction that limit the watch region to 512 bytes.

/gdb
* ppc-linux-nat.c: (PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_ARCH_31): New define.
(region_ok_for_hw_watchpoint): Check if 2nd DAWR is avaliable before
set region.
Maybe there's something I don't understand in that test, but the comment
seems wrong. It checks what happens when the non-leader thread does an
exit, not the leader.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exit.exp: Fix comment.

Currently when printing an XML description GDB prints enum values like
this:
<enum id="levels_type" size="4">
<field name="low" start="0"/>
<field name="high" start="1"/>
</enum>
This is incorrect, and is most likely a copy and paste error with the
struct and flags printing code. The correct syntax is:
<enum id="levels_type" size="4">
<evalue name="low" value="0"/>
<evalue name="high" value="1"/>
</enum>
A test is included to cover this functionality.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.xml/maint-xml-dump-03.xml: New file.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* tdesc.cc (print_xml_feature::visit): Print enum fields using
'evalue' syntax.
According to gdb online docs[1], XML target description enum types
have both name and size attributes. Currently GDB does not print the
size attribute. This commit fixes this. This change will be visible
in the output of the command `maint print xml-tdesc`.
There are other bugs with the print of enum types in XML target
descriptions, the next commit will fix these and include a test that
covers this patch.
