GDB hangs when doing this:
- launch inferior with multiple threads
- multiple threads hit some breakpoint(s)
- one breakpoint hit is presented as a stop, the rest are saved as
pending wait statuses
- "set scheduler-locking on"
- resume the currently selected thread (because of scheduler-locking,
it's the only one resumed), let it execute until exit
- GDB hangs, not showing the prompt, impossible to interrupt with ^C
When the resumed thread exits, we expect the target to return a
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED event, and that's what we see:
[infrun] fetch_inferior_event: enter
[infrun] scoped_disable_commit_resumed: reason=handling event
[infrun] random_pending_event_thread: None found.
[Thread 0x7ffff7d9c700 (LWP 309357) exited]
[infrun] print_target_wait_results: target_wait (-1.0.0 [process -1], status) =
[infrun] print_target_wait_results: -1.0.0 [process -1],
[infrun] print_target_wait_results: status->kind = no-resumed
[infrun] handle_inferior_event: status->kind = no-resumed
[infrun] handle_no_resumed: TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED (ignoring: found resumed)
[infrun] prepare_to_wait: prepare_to_wait
[infrun] reset: reason=handling event
[infrun] maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_targets: not requesting commit-resumed for target native, no resumed threads
[infrun] fetch_inferior_event: exit
The problem is in handle_no_resumed: we check if some other thread is
actually resumed, to see if we should ignore that event (see comments in
that function for more info). If this condition is true:
(thread->executing () || thread->has_pending_waitstatus ())
... then we ignore the event. The problem is that there are some non-resumed
threads with a pending event, which makes us ignore the event. But these
threads are not resumed, so we end up waiting while nothing executes, hence
waiting for ever.
My first fix was to change the condition to:
(thread->executing ()
|| (thread->resumed () && thread->has_pending_waitstatus ()))
... but then it occured to me that we could simply check for:
(thread->resumed ())
Since "executing" implies "resumed", checking simply for "resumed"
covers threads that are resumed and executing, as well as threads that
are resumed with a pending status, which is what we want.

Add a regression test-case for commit a50bdb99af "[gdb/tdep, rs6000] Don't
skip system call in skip_prologue":
- set a breakpoint on a local copy of glibc's _exit, and
- verify that it triggers.
The test-case uses an assembly file by default, but also has the possibility
to use a C source file instead.
Tested on ppc64le-linux. Verified that the test-case fails without
aforementioned commit, and passes with the commit. Both with assembly
and C source.
For now we should always generate the elf architecture attribute both for
elf and linux toolchains, so that we could dump the objects correctly
according to the generated architecture string. This patch resolves the
problem that we probably dump an object with c.nop instructions, but
in fact the c extension isn't allowed. Consider the following case,
nelson@LAPTOP-QFSGI1F2:~/test$ cat temp.s
.option norvc
.option norelax
.text
add a0, a0, a0
.byte 0x1
.balign 16

The c.nop at address 0x6 is generated for alignment, but since the rvc isn't
allowed for this object, dump it as a c.nop instruction looks wrong. After
applying this patch, I get the following result,
nelson@LAPTOP-QFSGI1F2:~/test$ ~/binutils-dev/build-elf32-upstream/build-install/bin/riscv32-unknown-elf-objdump -d temp.o
temp.o: file format elf32-littleriscv

6: 0001 .2byte 0x1
8: 00000013 nop
c: 00000013 nop
For the current objdump, we dump data to .byte/.short/.word/.dword, and
dump the unknown or unsupported instructions to .2byte/.4byte/.8byte, which
respectively are 2, 4 and 8 bytes instructions. Therefore, we shouldn't
dump the 0x0001 as a c.nop instruction in the above case, we should dump
it to .2byte 0x1 as a unknown instruction, since the rvc is disabled.
However, consider that some people may use the new objdump to dump the old
objects, which don't have any elf attributes. We usually set the default
architecture string to rv64g by bfd/elfxx-riscv.c:riscv_set_default_arch.
But this will cause rvc instructions to be unrecognized. Therefore, we
set the default architecture string to rv64gc for disassembler, to keep
the previous behavior.
This patch pass the riscv-gnu-toolchain gcc/binutils regressions for
rv32emc-elf, rv32gc-linux, rv32i-elf, rv64gc-elf and rv64gc-linux
toolchains. Also, tested by --enable-targets=all and can build
riscv-gdb successfully.

Since gcc dropped support for a.out starting with 4.4.0 in 2009, it's
been impossible to verify this code actually still works. Since it
crashes in ld, and it uses a config option that no other tests uses
and we want to remove, drop the test to avoid all the trouble.
Outputting an extra space broke a cris test. Change the workaround
to use %s with an empty string to avoid the compiler warning but not
output an extra space.
There's no need to sync testutils.inc with remote hosts. The one
we have in the source tree is all we need and only thing we test.
Delete it to simplify.
Objcopy was used to create a binary file of just the executable code

accomplish the same thing with the -Ttext=0 flag, so switch to that
to get rid of custom logic.
Simon pointed out that my recent patches to .debug_loclists caused
some regressions. After a brief discussion we realized it was because
his system compiler defaults to PIE.
This patch changes this code to unconditionally apply the text offset

dwarf2_find_location_expression.

Add a test-case to excercise the problem scenario reported in PR28527 and
fixed in commit a50bdb99af "[gdb/tdep, rs6000] Don't skip system call in
skip_prologue":
- set a breakpoint on _exit, and
- verify that it triggers.
Note that this is not a regression test for that commit. Since the actual
code in _exit may vary across os instances, we cannot guarantee that the
problem will always trigger with this test-case.
Rather, this test-case is a version of the original test-case
(gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp) that is minimal while still
reproducing the problem reported in PR28527, in that same setting.
The benefit of this test-case is that it exercise real-life code and may
expose similar problems in other settings. Also, it provides a much easier
test-case to investigate in case a similar problem occurs.
Tested on x86_64-linux and ppc64le-linux.
When I refactored this by scoping it to sim-frv-xxx in commit
e7954ef5e5 ("sim: frv: scope the
unique configure flag"), I changed the default from off to on.
While the feature is nice for developers, it breaks a bunch of
tests which aren't expecting this extra output. So flip it back
to off by default.
Since --unicode support (commit b3aa80b45c) both binutils/readelf.c
and binutils/strings.c use 'uint' in a few locations. It likely
should be 'unsigned int' since there isn't anything defining 'uint'
within binutils (besides zlib) and AFAIK it isn't a standard type.
* readelf.c (print_symbol): Replace uint with unsigned int.
* strings.c (string_min, display_utf8_char): Likewise.
(print_unicode_stream_body, print_unicode_stream): Likewise.
(print_strings): Likewise.
(get_unicode_byte): Wrap long line.
Previous flags were aimed to be run with XLC.
Nowadays, only GCC is being tested with GNU toolchain. Moreover,
recent XLC versions might also accept "-shared".
* testsuite/ld-shared/shared.exp: Adjust shared flags.
The purpose of this test is described in the comments in
dprintf-execution-x-script.exp.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28308
The name of this new test was based on that of an existing test,
bp-cmds-execution-x-script.exp. I started off by copying that test,
adding to it, and then rewriting almost all of it. It's different
enough that I decided that listing the copyright year as 2021
was sufficient.
This commit fixes Bug 28308, titled "Strange interactions with
dprintf and break/commands":
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28308
Since creating that bug report, I've found a somewhat simpler way of
reproducing the problem. I've encapsulated it into the GDB test case
which I've created along with this bug fix. The name of the new test
is gdb.base/dprintf-execution-x-script.exp, I'll demonstrate the
problem using this test case, though for brevity, I've placed all
relevant files in the same directory and have renamed the files to all
start with 'dp-bug' instead of 'dprintf-execution-x-script'.
The script file, named dp-bug.gdb, consists of the following commands:
dprintf increment, "dprintf in increment(), vi=%d\n", vi
break inc_vi
commands
continue
end
run
Note that the final command in this script is 'run'. When 'run' is
instead issued interactively, the bug does not occur. So, let's look
at the interactive case first in order to see the correct/expected
output:
$ gdb -q -x dp-bug.gdb dp-bug
... eliding buggy output which I'll discuss later ...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /mesquite2/sourceware-git/f34-master/bld/gdb/tmp/dp-bug
vi=0
dprintf in increment(), vi=0
Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26

26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c
vi=3
[Inferior 1 (process 1539210) exited normally]
In this run, in which 'run' was issued from the gdb prompt (instead
of at the end of the script), there are three dprintf messages along
with three 'Breakpoint 2' messages. This is the correct output.
Now let's look at the output that I snipped above; this is the output
when 'run' is issued from the script loaded via GDB's -x switch:
$ gdb -q -x dp-bug.gdb dp-bug
Reading symbols from dp-bug...
Dprintf 1 at 0x40116e: file dprintf-execution-x-script.c, line 38.

26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c
vi=3
[Inferior 1 (process 1539175) exited normally]
In the output shown above, only the first dprintf message is printed.
The 2nd and 3rd dprintf messages are missing! However, all three
'Breakpoint 2...' messages are still printed.
Why does this happen?
bpstat_do_actions_1() in gdb/breakpoint.c contains the following
comment and code near the start of the function:
/* Avoid endless recursion if a `source' command is contained
in bs->commands. */
if (executing_breakpoint_commands)
return 0;
scoped_restore save_executing
= make_scoped_restore (&executing_breakpoint_commands, 1);
Also, as described by this comment prior to the 'async' field
in 'struct ui' in top.h, the main UI starts off in sync mode
when processing command line arguments:
/* True if the UI is in async mode, false if in sync mode. If in
sync mode, a synchronous execution command (e.g, "next") does not
return until the command is finished. If in async mode, then
running a synchronous command returns right after resuming the
target. Waiting for the command's completion is later done on
the top event loop. For the main UI, this starts out disabled,
until all the explicit command line arguments (e.g., `gdb -ex
"start" -ex "next"') are processed. */
This combination of things, the state of the static global
'executing_breakpoint_commands' plus the state of the async
field in the main UI causes this behavior.
This is a backtrace after hitting the dprintf breakpoint for
the second time when doing 'run' from the script file, i.e.
non-interactively:

There are two frames for bpstat_do_actions_1(), one at frame #16 and
the other at frame #0. The one at frame #16 is processing the actions
for Breakpoint 2, which is a 'continue'. The one at frame #0 is attempting
to process the dprintf breakpoint action. However, at this point,
the value of 'executing_breakpoint_commands' is 1, forcing an early
return, i.e. prior to executing the command(s) associated with the dprintf
breakpoint.
For the sake of comparison, this is what the stack looks like when hitting
the dprintf breakpoint for the second time when issuing the 'run'
command from the GDB prompt.

This relatively short backtrace is due to the current UI's async field
being set to 1.
Yet another thing to be aware of regarding this problem is the
difference in the way that commands associated to dprintf breakpoints
versus regular breakpoints are handled. While they both use a command
list associated with the breakpoint, regular breakpoints will place
the commands to be run on the bpstat chain constructed in
bp_stop_status(). These commands are run later on. For dprintf
breakpoints, commands are run via the 'after_condition_true' function
pointer directly from bpstat_stop_status(). (The 'commands' field in
the bpstat is cleared in dprintf_after_condition_true(). This
prevents the dprintf commands from being run again later on when other
commands on the bpstat chain are processed.)
Another thing that I noticed is that dprintf breakpoints are the only
type of breakpoint which use 'after_condition_true'. This suggests
that one possible way of fixing this problem, that of making dprintf
breakpoints work more like regular breakpoints, probably won't work.
(I must admit, however, that my understanding of this code isn't
complete enough to say why. I'll trust that whoever implemented it
had a good reason for doing it this way.)
The comment referenced earlier regarding 'executing_breakpoint_commands'
states that the reason for checking this variable is to avoid
potential endless recursion when a 'source' command appears in
bs->commands. We know that a dprintf command is constrained to either
1) execution of a GDB printf command, 2) an inferior function call of
a printf-like function, or 3) execution of an agent-printf command.
Therefore, infinite recursion due to a 'source' command cannot happen
when executing commands upon hitting a dprintf breakpoint.
I chose to fix this problem by having dprintf_after_condition_true()
directly call execute_control_commands(). This means that it no
longer attempts to go through bpstat_do_actions_1() avoiding the
infinite recursion check for potential 'source' commands on the
command chain. I think it simplifies this code a little bit too, a
definite bonus.
Summary:
* breakpoint.c (dprintf_after_condition_true): Don't call
bpstat_do_actions_1(). Call execute_control_commands()
instead.

quicker.

When the code to handle DW_LLE_start_end was added (as part of some
DWARF 5 work), it was written to add the base address. However, this
seems incorrect -- the DWARF standard describes this as an address,
not an offset from the base address.
This patch changes a couple of spots in dwarf2/loc.c to fix this
problem. It then changes decode_debug_loc_addresses to return
DEBUG_LOC_OFFSET_PAIR instead, which preserves the previous semantics.
This only showed up on the RISC-V target internally, due to the
combination of DWARF 5 and a newer version of GCC. I've updated a
couple of existing loclists test cases to demonstrate the bug.
The rhES5 build failed due to an upstream import a while back. The
bug here is that, while the 'personality' function exists,
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE is only defined in <linux/personality.h>, not
<sys/personality.h>.
However, <linux/personality.h> does not declare the 'personality'
function, and <sys/personality.h> and <linux/personality.h> cannot
both be included.
This patch restores one of the removed configure checks and updates
the code to check it.
We had this as a local patch at AdaCore, because it seemed like there
was no interest upstream. However, now it turns out that this fixes
PR build/28555, so I'm sending it now.

Switch from the centralized list in the exp file to each test declaring
its own requirements which they're already (mostly) doing. This will
increase coverage slightly by running more tests in more configurations
since the hardcoded exp list was a little out of date.
We have to mark the psh* tests as shdsp only (to match what the exp
file was doing), mark the fsca & fsrra tests as failing (since they
weren't even being run by the exp file), and to fix the expected
output & status of the fail test.
Move some unused funcs under existing #if 0 protection, mark a few
local funcs as static, and add missing prototypes for the rest which
are used from other files. This fixes all the fatal warnings in the
mloop files so we can turn -Werror on here fully.
While reading the interface of gdb::array_view, I realized that the
constructor that builds an array_view on top of a contiguous container
(such as std::vector, std::array or even gdb::array_view) can be
missused.
Lets consider the following code sample:
struct Parent
{
Parent (int a): a { a } {}
int a;
};
std::ostream &operator<< (std::ostream& os, const Parent & p)
{ os << "Parent {a=" << p.a << "}"; return os; }
struct Child : public Parent
{
Child (int a, int b): Parent { a }, b { b } {}
int b;
};
std::ostream &operator<< (std::ostream& os, const Child & p)
{ os << "Child {a=" << p.a << ", b=" << p.b << "}"; return os; }
template <typename T>
void print (const gdb::array_view<const T> &p)
{
std::for_each (p.begin (), p.end (), [](const T &p) { std::cout << p << '\n'; });
}
Then with the current interface nothinng prevents this usage of
array_view to be done:
const std::array<Child, 3> elts = {
Child {1, 2},
Child {3, 4},
Child {5, 6}
};
print_all<Parent> (elts);
This compiles fine and produces the following output:
Parent {a=1}
Parent {a=2}
Parent {a=3}
which is obviously wrong. There is nowhere in memory a Parent-like
object for which the A member is 2 and this call to print_all<Parent>
shold not compile at all (calling print_all<Child> is however fine).
This comes down to the fact that a Child* is convertible into a Parent*,
and that an array view is constructed to a pointer to the first element
and a size. The valid type pointed to that can be used with this
constructor are restricted using SFINAE, which requires that a
pointer to a member into the underlying container can be converted into a
pointer the array_view's data type.
This patch proposes to change the constraints on the gdb::array_view
ctor which accepts a container now requires that the (decayed) type of
the elements in the container match the (decayed) type of the array_view
being constructed.
Applying this change required minimum adjustment in GDB codebase, which
are also included in this patch.
Tested by rebuilding.
This commits adds const versions for the GET and AS_ARRAX_VIEW methods
of gdb_argv. Those methods will be required in the following patch of
the series.
When doing "continue -a" in non-stop mode, each thread is individually
resumed while the commit resumed state is enabled. This forces the
target to commit each resumption immediately, instead of being able to
batch things.
The reason is that there is no scoped_disable_commit_resumed around the
loop over threads in continue_1, when "non_stop && all_threads" is true.
Since the proceed function is called once for each thread, the
scoped_disable_commit_resumed in proceed therefore forces commit-resumed
between each thread resumption. Add the necessary
scoped_disable_commit_resumed in continue_1 to avoid that.
I looked at the MI side of things, the function exec_continue, and found
that it was correct. There is a similar iteration over threads, and
there is a scoped_disable_commit_resumed at the function scope. This is
not wrong, but a bit more than we need. The branches that just call
continue_1 do not need it, as continue_1 takes care of disabling commit
resumed. So, move the scoped_disable_commit_resumed to the inner scope
where we iterate on threads and proceed them individually.
Here's an example debugging a multi-threaded program attached by
gdbserver (debug output trimmed for brevity):
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set non-stop" -ex "tar rem :1234"
(gdb) set debug remote
(gdb) set debug infrun
(gdb) c -a
Continuing.

While reading another patch, I saw that this function didn't need to
take a dwarf2_per_objfile, but could take a dwarf2_per_bfd instead.
It doesn't change the behavior, but doing this shows that this function
is objfile-independent (can work with only the shared per-bfd data).

I don't find that the bpstat typedef, which hides a pointer, is
particularly useful. In fact, it confused me many times, and I just see
it as something to remember that adds cognitive load. Also, with C++,
we might want to be able to pass bpstats objects by const-reference, not
necessarily by pointer.
So, remove the bpstat typedef and rename struct bpstats to bpstat (since
it represents one bpstat, it makes sense that it is singular).

It's been a long time since most of this was written: it's long past
time to put it in the binutils source tree. It's believed correct and
complete insofar as it goes: it documents format v3 (the current
version) but not the libctf API or any earlier versions. (The
earlier versions can be read by libctf but not generated by it, and you
are highly unlikely ever to see an example of any of them.)
