To make it easier to understand what we're looking at, let's take this out of
the mi interpreter context and use the cli interpreter:
...
$ gdb -q -batch -ex "set trace-commands on" -x gdb.in
+set python print-stack full
+source py-mi-cmd.py
+python pycmd1('-pycmd')
+python pycmd1.invoke (pycmd1, ["exp"])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "py-mi-cmd.py", line 76, in invoke
raise gdb.GdbError()
gdb.GdbError
gdb.in:4: Error in sourced command file:
Error occurred in Python.
...
Interestingly, this is what we're seeing with both python 3.12 and 3.13.
The difference between the python versions is that:
- with python 3.12 each line is printed by itself, and
- with python 3.13 two particular lines are printed toghether.
With the cli interpreter, that makes no difference, because the '\n' is
interpreted.
But with the mi interpreter, that causes a difference in output because the
'\n' is not interpreted, but rather printed literally.
Fix this by accepting the new output in addition to the old one.

gdb.ada/multiarray.exp has a loop that looks like it should run the
test in both 'all' and 'minimal' encodings mode. However, the body of
the loop doesn't actually use the 'flags' variable. This was an
oversight in the original commit.
Following on from the previous commit, this commit fixes the two KFAIL
in gdb.base/sysroot-debug-lookup.exp when not using the
native-extended-gdbserver board.
The failures in this test, when using the 'unix' board, are logged as
bug PR gdb/31804. The problem appears to be caused by the use of the
child_path function in find_separate_debug_file.
What happens on the 'unix' board is that the file is specified to GDB
with a target: prefix, however GDB spots that the target filesystem is
local to GDB and so opens the file without a target: prefix. When we
call into find_separate_debug_file the DIR and CANON_DIR arguments,
which are computed from the objfile_name() no longer have a target:
prefix.
However, in this test if the file was opened with a target: prefix,
then the sysroot also has a target: prefix. When child_path is called
it looks for a common prefix between CANON_DIR (from the objfile_name)
and the sysroot. However, the sysroot still has the target: prefix,
which means the child_path() call fails and returns nullptr.
What I think we need to do is this: if the sysroot has a target:
prefix, and the target filesystem is local to GDB, then we should
strip the target: prefix from the sysroot, just as we do when opening
a file (see gdb_bfd_open in gdb_bfd.c).
Now, when we make the child_path() call neither the sysroot nor
CANON_DIR will have a target: prefix, the child_path() call will
succeed, and GDB will correctly find the debug information.
There is just one remaining issue, the last path we look in when
searching for debug information is built by starting with the sysroot,
then adding the debug directory, see this line:
debugfile = path_join (target_prefix_str, root.c_str (),
debugdir.get (), base_path, debuglink);
The target_prefix_str is set to target: if DIR has a target: prefix,
and DIR should have a target: prefix if the file we're looking for was
opened with a target: prefix. However, in our case the file was in a
local filesystem so GDB stripped the prefix off.
The sysroot however, does have the target: prefix, and the test is
expecting to see GDB look within a file with the target: prefix.
Given that the above line is about looking within a sub-directory of
the sysroot, I think we should not be stripping the target: prefix off
the sysroot path (as we do when building ROOT), instead, we should, in
this case, not use TARGET_PREFIX_STR, and instead just use GDB's
sysroot as it is (in this case with the target: prefix).
With these fixes in place I now see no failures when using the 'unix',
'native-gdbserver', or 'native-extended-gdbserver' boards with this
test, and the KFAILs can be removed.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31804
I spotted that the gdb.base/sysroot-debug-lookup.exp test that I added
recently actually had a KPASS when run with the
native-extended-gdbserver board. This was an oversight when adding
the test.
The failures in this test, when using the 'unix' board, are logged as
bug PR gdb/31804. The problem appears to be caused by the use of the
child_path function in find_separate_debug_file.
What happens on the 'unix' board is that the file is specified to GDB
with a target: prefix, however GDB spots that the target filesystem is
local to GDB and so opens the file without a target: prefix. When we
call into find_separate_debug_file the DIR and CANON_DIR arguments,
which are computed from the objfile_name() no longer have a target:
prefix.
However, in this test if the file was opened with a target: prefix,
then the sysroot also has a target: prefix. When child_path is called
it looks for a common prefix between CANON_DIR (from the objfile_name)
and the sysroot. However, the sysroot still has the target: prefix,
which means the child_path() call fails and returns nullptr.
What happens in the native-extended-gdbserver case is that GDB doesn't
see the target filesystem as local. Now the filename retains the
target: prefix, which means that in the child_path() call both the
sysroot and the CANON_DIR have a target: prefix, and so the
child_path() call succeeds. This allows GDB to progress, try some
additional paths, and then find the debug information.
So, this commit changes gdb.base/sysroot-debug-lookup.exp to expect
the test to succeed when using the native-extended-gdbserver protocol.
This leaves one KFAIL when using the native-extended-gdbserver board,
we find the debug information but (apparently) find it in the wrong
file. What's happening is that when GDB builds the filename for the
debug information we end up with a '//' string as a directory
separator, the test regexp only expects a single separator.
Instead of just fixing the test regexp, I've updated the path_join
function in gdbsupport/pathstuff.{cc,h} to allow for absolute paths to
appear in the argument list after the first argument. This means it's
now possible to do this:
auto result = path_join ("/a/b/c", "/d/e/f");
gdb_assert (result == "/a/b/c/d/e/f");
Additionally I've changed path_join so that it avoids adding
unnecessary directory separators. In the above case when the two
paths were joined GDB only added a single separator between 'c' and
'd'. But additionally, if we did this:
auto result = path_join ("/a/b/c/", "/d/e/f");
gdb_assert (result == "/a/b/c/d/e/f");
We'd still only get a single separator.
With these changes to path_join I can now make use of this function in
find_separate_debug_file. With this done I now have no KFAIL when
using the native-extended-gdbserver board.
After this commit we still have 2 KFAIL when not using the
native-gdbserver and unix boards, these will be addressed in the next
commit.

Commit bf2813aff8 introduced some logic to
not refresh the step frame id if it detects that the inferior is reverse
stepping out of a recursive call, so that we would still print frame
information once the inferior stops.
However, that logic was overly specific, and wouldn't be hit for
inferiors compiled with clang because clang adds line table entries that
aren't statements, making process_event_stop_test go through a different
branch on the relevant if statement.
Fix this by not making the code that detects "reversing out of a
recursion" an else clause to the previous if, but a standalone if block.

This is caused by a race between the handling of an event, and the
"inferior 1" command.
In the passing case, the event is handled first. During which prune_inferiors
is called, but it can't remove inferior 2, because it's still the current one.
In the failing case, the "inferior 1" command is handled first. Then during
handling of the event, prune_inferiors is called, and it can remove inferior 2
because it's no longer the current one.
This looks like a test-case issue to me, but ISTM that we can do better: by
calling prune_inferiors asap, at the end of the "inferior 1" command, we
stabilize the moment when the inferior is removed:
...

python: Add clear() to gdb.Record.
exposed a clear function for btrace data in python and added some tests
for it. That caused a regression (PR 32086) when recording with bts.
This is reproducible even without my patch, when adding
"maintenance btrace clear" to the test.
When comparing the instructions that get recorded in both cases, the traces
are almost identical, just that the first 3 instructions are missing.
Before clear:
(gdb) record instruction-history 1,100
1 0x0000555555555163 <main+12>: movl $0x0,-0x4(%rbp)
2 0x000055555555516a <main+19>: movl $0x0,-0x8(%rbp)

After clear:
(gdb) record instruction-history 1,100
1 0x0000555555555184 <main+45>: cmpl $0x63,-0x4(%rbp)
2 0x0000555555555188 <main+49>: jle 0x555555555173 <main+28>
3 0x0000555555555173 <main+28>: mov -0x8(%rbp),%eax
4 0x0000555555555176 <main+31>: mov %eax,%edi
...
The GDB manual describes this behaviour already:
maint btrace clear
Discard the branch trace data. The data will be fetched anew and
the branch trace will be recomputed when needed.
This implicitly truncates the branch trace to a single branch trace
buffer. When updating branch trace incrementally, the branch trace
available to GDB may be bigger than a single branch trace buffer.
The test with BTS is updating the recorded trace incrementally. After the
clear, the buffer of raw trace data available is not enough to recompute the
whole trace as it was before the clear(), and the first 3 instructions are
missing.
As increasing the buffer size for BTS didn't help, I propose to fix the test
by moving the testing of clear to the end of the test.

I think it would be useful for gdb's DAP logs to come with the version
and configuration information. This might make debugging some bug
reports a little simpler.
A DAP user noticed that breakpoints set by address were never updated
to show their location after the DAP launch request. It turns out
that gdb does not emit the breakpoint-modified event when this sort of
breakpoint is updated.
This patch changes gdb to notify the breakpoint-modified observer when
a breakpoint location's symbol changes. This in turn causes the DAP
event to be emitted.

I noticed that initialize_block_iterator has a default value for one
of its arguments, but this is not needed as this function has a single
caller that always passes all arguments. This patch removes the
default. Tested by rebuilding.
Due to the way BFD implements DT_RELR as a part of relaxation, if in a
relax trip size_relative_relocs has changed the layout, when
relax_section runs only the vma of the section being relaxed is
guaranteed to be updated. Then bad thing can happen. For example, when
linking an auxilary program _freeze_module in the Python 3.12.4 building
system (with PGO + LTO), before sizing the .relr.dyn section, the vma of
.text is 30560 and the vma of .rodata is 2350944; in the final
executable the vma of .text is 36704 and the vma of .rodata is 2357024.
The vma increase is expected because .relr.dyn is squashed somewhere
before .text. But size_relative_relocs may see the state in which .text
is at 36704 but .rodata "is" still at 2350944. Thus the distance
between .text and .rodata can be under-estimated and overflowing
R_LARCH_PCREL20_S2 reloc can be created.
To avoid this issue, if size_relative_relocs is updating the size of
.relr.dyn, just supress the normal relaxation in this relax trip. In
this situation size_relative_relocs should have been demending the next
relax trip, so the normal relaxation can happen in the next trip.
I tried to make a reduced test case but failed.

In the DT_RELR implementation I missed a code path emiting relative
reloc entries. Then the already packed relative reloc entries will be
(unnecessarily) pushed into .rela.dyn but we've not allocated the space
for them, triggering an assertion failure.
Unfortunately I failed to notice the issue until profiled bootstrapping
GCC with LTO and -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs. The failure can be easily
triggered by linking a "hello world" program with -fprofile-generate and
LTO:
$ PATH=$HOME/ld-test:$PATH gcc hw.c -fprofile-generate -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -flto

By default GDB will be printing the hex payload of the ptwrite package as
auxiliary information. To customize this, the user can register a ptwrite
filter function in python, that takes the payload and the PC as arguments and
returns a string which will be printed instead. Registering the filter
function is done using a factory pattern to make per-thread filtering easier.

This enables gdb and gdbserver to communicate about ptwrite support. If
ptwrite support would be enabled unconditionally, GDBs with older libipt
versions would break.

This function allows to clear the trace data from python, forcing to
re-decode the trace for successive commands.
This will be used in future ptwrite patches, to trigger re-decoding when
the ptwrite filter changes.

Auxiliary instructions are no real instructions and get their own object
class, similar to gaps. gdb.Record.instruction_history is now possibly a
list of gdb.RecordInstruction, gdb.RecordGap or gdb.RecordAuxiliary
objects.
This patch is in preparation for the new ptwrite feature, which is based on
auxiliary instructions.
