If we make gdbserver gdb_continue_to_end actually expect a process
exit with GDBserver, we get many testsuite failures with the remote
stdio board:
-PASS: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: continue until exit at amd64-disp-step
+FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: continue until exit at amd64-disp-step (the program exited)
-PASS: gdb.base/break.exp: continue until exit at recursive next test
+FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: continue until exit at recursive next test (the program exited)
-PASS: gdb.base/chng-syms.exp: continue until exit at breakpoint first time through
+FAIL: gdb.base/chng-syms.exp: continue until exit at breakpoint first time through (the program exited)
... etc. ...
This is what the log shows for all of them:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Child exited with status 0
GDBserver exiting
[Inferior 1 (process 22721) exited normally]
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: continue until exit (the program exited)
The problem is the whole "Child exited ... GDBserver exiting" output,
that comes out of GDBserver, and that the testsuite is not expecting.
I pondered somehow making the testsuite adjust to this. But,
testsuite aside, I think GDBserver should not be outputting this at
all when GDB is connected through stdio. GDBserver will be printing
this in GDB's console, but the user can already tell from the regular
output that the inferior is gone.
Again, manually:
(gdb) tar remote | ./gdbserver/gdbserver - program
Remote debugging using | ./gdbserver/gdbserver - program
Process program created; pid = 22486
stdin/stdout redirected
Remote debugging using stdio
done.
Loaded symbols for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
0x000000323d001530 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Child exited with status 1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
GDBserver exiting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[Inferior 1 (process 22486) exited with code 01]
(gdb)
Suppressing those two lines makes the output be exactly like when
debugging against a remote tcp gdbserver:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 22914) exited with code 01]

The current implementation is forgetting to populate the thread list
when attaching to the process. This results in an incomplete list of
threads when debugging a threaded program.
Unfortunately, as the added comments hints, there appears to be
no way of getting the list of threads via ptrace, other than by
spawning the "ps" command, and parsing its output. Not great,
but it appears to be the best we can do.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_add_threads_after_attach): New function.
(lynx_attach): Remove call to add_thread. Add call to
lynx_add_threads_after_attach instead.
So far elinos.py was assuming that the whole ELinOS environment was
around to find the system libraries; if some environment variables
were missing, the script would just abort.
This was a bit extreme. It is possible to do better than that: to get
the core system libraries, one doesn't need to have a full environment
but just the path to the CDK. The path to kernel project is only
needed for the optional Xenomai libs.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* system-gdbinit/elinos.py (get_elinos_environment): Return an
incomplete dictionnary instead of None in case of missing
environment variables.
(elinos_init): in case of an incomplete environment, best
effort to load system libraries instead of abort.
When building the program with the shared GNAT runtime, the debugger
is unable to insert Ada exception catchpoints until that runtime
has been mapped to memory. In other words, we expect the user to start
the program first, before attempting to insert that catchpoint.
The detection mechanism that tries to provide some useful tips to
the user fails when the program itself contains a trampoline symbol
matching the symbol that the catchpoint is trying to use. This
results in the following error message:
(gdb) catch exception
Your Ada runtime appears to be missing some debugging information.
Cannot insert Ada exception catchpoint in this configuration.
Instead, we expected the following error message:
(gdb) catch exception
Unable to insert catchpoint. Try to start the program first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_has_this_exception_support): Ignore
mst_solib_trampoline minimal symbols.

It is possible to have a build of glibc where SYS_perf_event_open is not
defined (because when the glibc was compiled, the syscall did not exist),
but have newer kernel headers installed so that linux/perf_event.h is
available. In this setup, you get a build failure:
./common/linux-btrace.c: In function 'kernel_supports_btrace':
./common/linux-btrace.c:316:23: error: 'SYS_perf_event_open' undeclared (first use in this function)
Update the ifdef check to also see if the syscall is available.

I tried debugging a remote Windows program on Linux host, and pointed the
sysroot to "/some/path/" rather than "remote:", and I found GDB couldn't
find the dlls in the sysroot. If the dll name is
"C:/Windows/system32/ntdll.dll", I end up with the sysroot+in_pathname
concatenated this way:
(top-gdb) p temp_pathname
$1 = 0x228b690 "/some/pathC:/Windows/system32/ntdll.dll"
^^
That is, a directory separator is missing. This is a regression.
The problem is that solib_find decides that since the target path has
a drive spec, a separator is not necessary, which is clearly wrong in
this case. That check was added in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-06/msg00028.html>, to
handle the case of sysroot being "remote:". This patch fixes that
original issue in a different way. Instead of checking whether the
path has a drive spec, check whether the sysroot is "remote:". The
patch adds a table that helps visualize the cases that need a
separator. I also confirmed the original issue is still handled as
expected. That is, that "set sysroot remote:" still does the right
thing.
remote_filename_p returns true if the filename is prefixed with
"remote:". In this case, we need to check whether the filename is
exactly "remote:". I thought of different ways or either changing
remote_filename_p or adding another convenience function to remote.c
to avoid exposing the "remote:" prefix out of remote.c. But all
attempts turned out adding lot of over needless complication. So the
patch just exposes the prefix behind a new macro, which allows using a
straighforward strcmp.

I noticed these fields aren't really necessary -- if the T stop reply
indicated any we have any special event, the fallthrough doesn't
really do anything.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17 w/ local gdbserver, and also confirmed
"catch load" against a Windows gdbserver running under Wine, which
exercises TARGET_WAITKIND_LOADED, still works as expected.
