This patch simply adds a small entry to `Changes since GDB 7.8' announcing the
support for dtrace probes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-02-17 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
* NEWS: Announce the support for DTrace SDT probes.
This patch modifies the `Static Probe Points' section on the GDB
manual in order to cover the support for DTrace USDT probes, in
addition to SystemTap SDT probes.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2015-02-17 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Static Probe Points): Add cindex `static probe
point, DTrace'.
(Static Probe Points): Modified to cover DTrace probes in addition
to SystemTap probes. Also modified to cover the `enable probe'
and `disable probe' commands.
This patch adds some simple tests testing the support for DTrace USDT
probes. The testsuite will be skipped as unsupported in case the user
does not have DTrace installed on her system. The tests included in the
test suite test breakpointing on DTrace probes, enabling and disabling
probes, printing of probe arguments of several types and also
breakpointing on several probes with the same name.

This patch adds several gdbarch functions (along with the corresponding
predicates): `dtrace_parse_probe_argument', `dtrace_probe_is_enabled',
`dtrace_enable_probe' and `dtrace_disable_probe'. These functions will
be implemented by target-specific code, and called from the DTrace
probes implementation in order to calculate the value of probe
arguments, and manipulate is-enabled probes.

This patch adds the above-mentioned commands to the generic probe
abstraction implemented in probe.[ch]. The effects associated to
enabling or disabling a probe depend on the type of probe being
handled, and is triggered by invoking two back-end hooks in
`probe_ops'.
In case some particular probe type does not support the notion of
enabling and/or disabling, the corresponding fields on `probe_ops' can
be initialized to NULL. This is the case of SystemTap probes.

* gdb.texinfo (Static Probe Points): Cover the `enable probe' and

This patch moves the `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' functions
from stap-probe.c to probe.c. The rationale is that it is reasonable to
assume that all backends will provide the `$_probe_argN' convenience
variables, and that the user must be placed on the PC of the probe when
requesting that information. The value and type of the argument can still be
determined by the probe backend via the `pops->evaluate_probe_argument' and
`pops->compile_to_ax' handlers.
Note that a test in gdb.base/stap-probe.exp had to be adjusted because the "No
SystemTap probe at PC" messages are now "No probe at PC".

* gdb.base/stap-probe.exp (stap_test): Remove "SystemTap" from
expected message when trying to access $_probe_* convenience
variables while not on a probe.
A "probe type" (backend for the probe abstraction implemented in
probe.[ch]) can extend the information printed by `info probes' by
defining additional columns. This means that when `info probes' is
used to print all the probes regardless of their types, some of the
columns will be "not applicable" to some of the probes (like, say, the
Semaphore column only makes sense for SystemTap probes). This patch
makes `info probes' fill these slots with "n/a" marks (currently it
breaks the table) and not include headers for which no actual probe
has been found in the list of defined probes.
This patch also adds support for a new generic column "Type", that
displays the type of each probe. SystemTap probes identify themselves
as "stap" probes.

I was having a little closer look at what is going on here and noticed
that HJ unconditionally emits a NULL STT_FILE symbol before emitting
forced local symbols. That means we really don't need a second pass
over forced local symbols. The only reason for two passes is when
some forced local symbol can be emitted before the NULL STT_FILE. So
I set about removing the second pass, updating the testsuite all over
again. It's also unnecessary to emit the NULL STT_FILE when no
previous file symbol has been emitted.

The function key_is_command_char() is simply a predicate that determines
whether the function tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() will do anything useful.
Since tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() performs the same checks as
key_is_command_char() it is unnecessary to keep key_is_command_char()
around. This patch removes this useless function and instead
unconditionally calls tui_dispatch_ctrl_char() inside its only caller,
tui_getc().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_getc): Don't call key_is_command_char.
(key_is_command_char): Delete.
If the user:
#1 - disables the TUI
#2 - resizes the terminal
#3 - and then re-enables the TUI
the next wgetch() returns KEY_RESIZE. This indicates to the ncurses
client that ncurses detected that the terminal has been resized. We
don't handle KEY_RESIZE anywhere, so it gets passed on to readline
which interprets it as a multibyte character, and then the end result
is that the first key press after enabling the TUI is misinterpreted.
We shouldn't really need to handle KEY_RESIZE (and not all ncurses
implementations have that). We have our own SIGWINCH handler, and,
when we re-enable the TUI, we explicitly detect terminal resizes and
resize all windows. The reason ncurses currently does detects a
resize is that something within tui_enable forces a refresh/display of
some window before we get to do the actual resizing. Setting a break
on ncurses' 'resizeterm' function helps find the culprit(s):

That is, tui_enable calls tui_set_key_mode before we've resized all
windows, and that refreshes a window as side effect.
And if we're already debugging something (there's a frame), then we'll
instead show a window from within tui_show_frame_info:

In PR 13577, the complaint was that -Bsymbolic was overriding the binding
behavior for symbols listed in the --dynamic-list by setting the DT_SYMBOLIC
tag in the dynamic table. In reading the Gnu ld manual, I decided that
--dynamic-list should be mutually exclusive of -Bsymbolic, and modified
gold so that --dynamic-list would treat symbols listed as preemptible,
and all other symbols as internally bound. I was wrong.
PR 16992 shows that with --dynamic-list (and not -Bsymbolic), a symbol
not listed in the dynamic list is being internally bound within the
shared library, but because it's still in the dynamic symbol table, we
expose it to a COPY relocation, and things go really bad from there.
(I can reproduce the same failure, simply by turning on -Bsymbolic-functions
with the Gnu linker. Even though the symbol is bound internally, it's
still exported to the dynamic symbol table, and is exposed to a COPY
relocation.)
I've backed out part of the fix for PR 13577, and -Bsymbolic (or
-Bsymbolic-functions) can now be used with --dynamic-list, but if the
two are used together, we do not set DT_SYMBOLIC or DF_SYMBOLIC
(this matches Gnu ld behavior). We now treat symbols listed in the
dynamic list as premptible, but we do not automatically treat symbols
not listed there as non-premptible.

LTO output objects have an STT_FILE symbol using the name of the file,
a temporary file. This results in executables that can't be exactly
reproduced, so the file name needs to be dropped. We don't want to
lose all file symbols when linking a mix of lto and non-lto objects as
a file symbol can be used to figure which source file generated a
given local symbol. So lto output objects need to be marked.
I chose to mark lto output objects with a new bfd flag. This flag is
also used to fix a bug in the link-once handling; An object being
loaded after "loading_lto_outputs" is set might be one extracted from
an archive to satisfy new references from lto objects, not an lto
object itself.
The new flag is copied from archive to elements, and the same done
for no_export. This fixes a bug in that --exclude-libs doesn't work
with thin archives. I'm not completely happy with this part of the
patch and may revist this to avoid the hack in

(_bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line): Harden DWARF reading code. Pass
end pointers to reading functions and check for offsets taking
pointers out of range. Replace calls to read_*_leb128 with calls
to safe_read_leb128.
(* elf64-ppc.c (opd_entry_value): Add a check for an overlarge
offset.
* syms.c (_bfd_stab_section_find_nearest_line): Add checks for
computed file_name address being before the start of the string
table.
