It was observed that in some cases, placing a breakpoint in an
assembler file using filename:line-number syntax would result in the
breakpoint being placed at a different line within the file.
For example, consider this x86-64 assembler:
test:
push %rbp /* Break here. */
mov %rsp, %rbp
nop /* Stops here. */
The user places the breakpoint using file:line notation targeting the
line marked 'Break here', GDB actually stops at the line marked 'Stops
here'.
The reason is that the label 'test' is identified as the likely start
of a function, and the call to symtab.c:skip_prologue_sal causes GDB
to skip forward over the instructions that GDB believes to be part of
the prologue.
I believe however, that when debugging assembler code, where the user
has instruction-by-instruction visibility, if they ask for a specific
line, GDB should (as far as possible) stop on that line, and not
perform any prologue skipping. I don't believe that the behaviour of
higher level languages should change, in these cases skipping the
prologue seems like the correct thing to do.
In order to implement this change I needed to extend our current
tracking of when the user has requested an explicit line number. We
already tracked this in some cases, but not in others (see the changes
in linespec.c). However, once I did this I started to see some
additional failures (in tests gdb.base/break-include.exp
gdb.base/ending-run.exp gdb.mi/mi-break.exp gdb.mi/mi-reverse.exp
gdb.mi/mi-simplerun.exp) where we currently expected a breakpoint
placed at one file and line number to be updated to reference a
different line number, this was fixed by removing some code in
symtab.c:skip_prologue_sal. My concern here is that removing this
check didn't cause anything else to fail.
I have a new test that covers my original case, this is written for
x86-64 as most folk have access to such a target, however, any
architecture that has a prologue scanner can be impacted by this
change.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linespec.c (decode_digits_list_mode): Set explicit_line to a
bool value.
(decode_digits_ordinary): Set explicit_line field in sal.
* symtab.c (skip_prologue_sal): Don't skip prologue for a
symtab_and_line that was set on an explicit line number in
assembler code. Do always update the recorded symtab and line if
we do skip the prologue.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/amd64-break-on-asm-line.S: New file.
* gdb.arch/amd64-break-on-asm-line.exp: New file.
The explicit_loc parameter in set_breakpoint_location_function is not
useful. This parameter is set from two possible fields of the
symtab_and_line used to create the breakpoint; the explicit_pc field,
and the explicit_line field.
First, the explicit_line field, this is not currently set for any
breakpoint command, so will never be true.
Next, the explicit_pc field. This can be true but will never be true
at the same time that the sal->msymbol field is also true - the
sal->msymbol is only ever set in linespec.c:minsym_found, which
doesn't allow for explicitly setting the pc.
The result of this is that if we are setting a breakpoint on an
msymbol that could turn out to be an ifunc, then we will not also have
either an explicit_pc or an explicit_line, this check can therefore be
removed.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (set_breakpoint_location_function): Remove
explicit_loc parameter.
(momentary_breakpoint_from_master): Update call to
set_breakpoint_location_function.
(add_location_to_breakpoint): Likewise.
When we initialise a gdbarch object we perform a check to try and
detect if the user is doing something silly; trying to run an RV64
binary on an RV32 target. To perform this check we compare the xlen
from the target description with the xlen specified in the headers on
the ELF being debugged.
If there is no ELF being debugged then we (currently) try to use the
bfd_arch_info from the gdbarch_info object, which will have been set
to the default architecture if no bfd is currently being debugged.
For RISC-V the default architecture is RV64.
What this means is that if a user tries to connect to an RV32 target
without specifying the BFD to debug then GDB will assume RV64. The
sanity check mentioned above will failed (xlen difference) and GDB
will throw an error. The error causes GDB to disconnect from the
remote target.
After this commit GDB no longer relies on the default bfd
architecture. If the user tries to connect without specifying the bfd
then GDB will simply make use of the xlen extracted from the target
description in order to find or create a suitable gdbarch object.

git commit f2d4ba38f5 caused many failures for mips-sgi-irix targets,
and added a new test that failed for aarch64, nds32, and rl78.
The mips failures are due to BSF_OBJECT being set in many cases for
symbols by the mips .global/.globl directive. This patch removes that
code and instead sets BSF_OBJECT in a target frob_symbol function,
also moving the mips hacks in elf_frob_symbol to the new function.
Note that common symbols are handled fine in elf.c:swap_out_syms
without needing to set BSF_OBJECT, so that old code can disappear.
* config/obj-elf.c (elf_frob_symbol): Remove mips hacks.
* config/tc-mips.h (tc_frob_symbol): Define.
(mips_frob_symbol): Declare.
* config/tc-mips.c (s_mips_globl): Don't set BSF_OBJECT for irix.
(mips_frob_symbol): Fudge symbols for irix here.
* testsuite/gas/elf/type-2.e: Allow random target symbols.
Without this patch, GDB printf command calls malloc on the target,
writes the convenience var content to the target,
re-reads the content from the target, and then locally printf the string.
This implies inferior calls, and does not work when there is no running
inferior, or when the inferior is a core dump.
With this patch, printf command can printf string convenience variables
without inferior function calls.
Ada string convenience variables can also be printed.

When a binary is built using PIE, reloading the file will cause GDB to error
on restart. For example:
gdb ./a.out
(gdb) break main
(gdb) run
(gdb) file ./a.out
(gdb) continue
Will cause GDB to error with:
Continuing.
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x9e0
Command aborted.
This is due to the symbol offsets not being relocated after reloading the file.
Fix is to ensure solib_create_inferior_hook is called, in the same manner as
infrun.c:follow_exec().

The TUI uses the "has_break" in two different ways: sometimes as a
boolean, and sometimes as flags.
This patch changes the TUI to be more type-safe here, and fixes the
code. I could not find a bug that this caused, so apparently this is
just cosmetic.
This deletes some code from tui_set_disassem_content. Whenver this is
called, I believe the TUI updates the breakpoint information
afterward, so this assignment is redundant; which is good because it
is also incorrect.

Fix a silly bug in commit a26c8de0ee ("Fix early return in
foreach_with_prefix").
That patch made foreach_with_prefix always return after the first
iteration, making ~10k tests disappear from test runs...
This fixes it, and as penance, adds a testcase that exercises all
kinds of different returns possible (ok, error, return, break,
continue). I've written it with regular "foreach", and then switched
to foreach_with_prefix and made sure we get the same results. I put
the testcase in a new gdb.testsuite/ subdir, since this is exercising
the testsuite harness bits. We can move this elsewhere if people
prefer a different place, but I'm going ahead in order to unbreak the

Both the i386, X86_64 and AArch64 builds of gdbserver include a bunch of legacy
xml files, dat files and auto generated C files, when building for unit test.
These tests exists back from when feature target descriptions were added to
prove that the new target descriptions were identical to the original
older versions. The old files are not used for anything other than these tests.
Now that this has been proven, we are not gaining anything by keeping the
original files and tests. Should new functionality be added, it would break
the tests, unless the functionality was backported to the xml. There is no
requirement that we must match the exact xml from N releases ago. It adds
obfuscation, where as the feature target descriptions were meant to simplify
the code.
In addition, there are a bunch of xml and dat files which are completely unused.
This patch removes the selftests and the target descriptions from gdbserver.
Update the unittest to allow 0 tests (note, this failed on other targets that

For another patch I wanted to use a sufficiently benign option (simply
to be able to specify one, which certain test case invocations require),
and I stumbled across -Q in the --help output. Before realizing that
this is x86-specific anyway, I've tried and and ran into a mysterious
testsuite failure, until I further realized that other than the help
text suggests the option requires an argument. Correct the help text,
and make the implementation actually match what the comment there has
been describing (and what the help text now says).
Recently a patch was submitted for a Xen Project test harness binary to
override the compiler specified @object to @func (see [1]). In a reply I
suggested we shouldn't make ourselves dependent on currently unspecified
behavior of gas here: It accumulates all requests, and then
bfd/elf.c:swap_out_syms(), in an apparently ad hoc manner, prioritizes
certain flags over others.
Make the behavior predictable: Generally the last .type is what counts.
Exceptions are directives which set multiple bits (TLS, IFUNC, and
UNIQUE): Subsequent directives requesting just the more generic bit
(i.e. FUNC following IFUNC) won't clear the more specific one. Warn
about incompatible changes, except from/to STT_NOTYPE.
Also add a new target hook, which hppa wants to use right away afaict.
In the course of adding the warning I ran into two ld testsuite
failures. I can only assume that it was a copy-and-paste mistake that
lead to the same symbol having its type set twice.

A following patch will make the "pipe" command use the gdb::option
framework for option processing. However, "pipe"'s only option today
is a string option, "-d DELIM", and gdb::option does not support
string options yet.
This commit adds support for string options, mapped to var_string.
For now, a string is parsed up until the first whitespace. I imagine
that we'll need to add support for quoting so that we could do:
(gdb) cmd -option 'some -string'
without gdb confusing the "-string" for an option.
This doesn't seem important for pipe, so I'm leaving it for another
day.
One thing I'm not happy with, is that the string data is managed as a
raw malloc-allocated char *, which means that we need to xfree it
manually. This is because var_string settings work that way too.
Although with var_string settings we're leaking the strings at gdb
exit, that was never really a problem. For options though, leaking is
undesirable.
I think we should tackle that for both settings and options at the
same time, so for now I'm just managing the malloced data manually.
It's a bit ugly in option_def_and_value, but at least that's hidden
from view.
For testing, this adds a new "-string" option to "maint
test-settings", and then tweaks gdb.base/options.exp to exercise it.

Currently, gdb::option::complete_options just discards any processed
option argument, because no completer needs that data.
When completing "pipe -d XXX gdbcmd XXX" however, the completer needs
to know about -d's argument (XXX), in order to know where input is
already past the gdb command and the delimiter.
In this commit, the fix for that is the factoring out of the
save_option_value_in_ctx function and calling it in complete_options.
For testing, this makes "maint show test-options-completion-result"
show the processed options too, like what the "maint test-options"
subcommands output when run. Then, of course, gdb.base/options.exp is
adjusted.
Doing this exposed a couple latent bugs, which is what the other gdb
changes in the patch are for:
- in the var_enum case, without the change, we'd end up with a null
enum argument, and print:
"-enum (null)"
- The get_ulongest change is necessary to avoid advancing PP in a
case where we end up throwing an error, e.g., when parsing "11x".
Without the change the operand pointer shown by "maint show
test-options-completion-result" would be left pointing at "x"
instead of "11x".

SETTING is any setting you can change with the "set" subcommands.
E.g.:

As can be seen above, the "with" command is just like "set", but
instead of setting the setting permanently, it sets the setting, runs
a command and then restores the setting.

You can shorten things a bit though, as long as unambiguous. So this:

is the same as:

Note that the patch adds a "w" alias for "with", as "w" is not
currently taken:
(gdb) w
Ambiguous command "w": watch, wh, whatis, where, while, while-stepping, winheight, ws.
Let me know if you'd prefer to reserve "w" for one of the other
commands above. IMHO, this command will end up being used frequently
enough that it deserves the "w" shorthand.
A nice feature is that this is fully integrated with TAB-completion:
(gdb) with p[TAB]
pagination print prompt python
(gdb) with print [TAB]
address max-depth static-members
array max-symbolic-offset symbol
array-indexes null-stop symbol-filename
asm-demangle object symbol-loading
demangle pascal_static-members thread-events
elements pretty type
entry-values raw union
frame-arguments repeats vtbl
inferior-events sevenbit-strings
(gdb) with print [TAB]
(gdb) with print elements unlimited -- thread apply all -[TAB]
-ascending -c -q -s
(gdb) with print elements unlimited -- print -[TAB]
-address -max-depth -repeats -vtbl
-array -null-stop -static-members
-array-indexes -object -symbol
-elements -pretty -union
The main advantage of this new command compared to command options,
like the new "print -OPT", is that this command works with any
setting, and, it works nicely when you want to override a setting
while running a user-defined command, like:
(gdb) with print pretty -- usercmd
The disadvantage is that it isn't as compact or easy to type. I think
of command options and this command as complementary. I think that
even with this new command, it makes sense to continue developing the
command options in the direction of exposing most-oft-used settings as
command options.
Inspired by Philippe's "/" command proposal, if no command is
specified, then the last command is re-invoked, under the overridden
setting:
(gdb) p g_s
$1 = {a = 1, b = 2, c = 3}
(gdb) with language ada
$2 = (a => 1, b => 2, c => 3)
Warning: the current language does not match this frame.
Note: "with" requires "--" to separate the setting from the command.
It might be possible to do without that, but, I haven't tried it yet,
and I think that this can go in without it. We can always downgrade
to making "--" optional if we manage to make it work.
On to the patch itself, the implementation of the command is simpler
than one might expect. A few details:
- I factored out a bit from pipe_command into repeat_previous
directly, because otherwise I'd need to copy&paste the same code and
same error message in the with command.
- The parse_cli_var_uinteger / parse_cli_var_zuinteger_unlimited /
do_set_command changes are necessary since we can now pass an empty
string as argument.
- do_show_command was split in two, as a FIXME comment suggests, but
for a different reason: we need to get a string version of a "set"
command's value, and we already had code for that in
do_show_command. That code is now factored out to the new
get_setshow_command_value_string function.
- There's a new "maint with" command added too:
(gdb) help maint with
Like "with", but works with "maintenance set" variables.
Usage: maintenance with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
With no COMMAND, repeats the last executed command.
SETTING is any setting you can change with the "maintenance set"
subcommands.
"with" and "maint with" share 99% of the implementation.
This might be useful on its own, but it's also useful for testing,
since with this, we can use the "maint set/show test-settings"
settings for exercising the "with" machinery with all the command
type variants (all enum var_types). This is done in the new
gdb/base/with.exp testcase.
The documentation bits are originally based on Philippe's docs for the
"/" command, hence the attribution in the ChangeLog.

* maint-test-settings.c: Fix file's intro comment. Replace all
references to "test-options" with references to "test-settings",
in comments.
New tests added later for the incoming "with" command exposed a couple
invalid-default-value bugs in the "maint test-settings" commands:
- var_filename commands don't allow setting the filename to the empty
string (unlike var_optional_filename commands), yet, "maint
test-settings filename"'s control variable was not initialized, so
on startup, "maint test-settings show filename" shows an empty
string.
- "maint test-settings enum"'s control variable was not initialized,
so on startup, "maint test-settings show enum" shows an empty value
instead of a valid enum value.
Both issues are fixed by initializing the control variables.

This makes "info threads" use the gdb::option framework to process
options. There's only one option today (-gid), and it isn't used much
frequently unless you're looking at matching MI output. Still, this
was in the neighborhood of "thread apply" so I had converted it.
The main advantage is that TAB completion now shows you the available
options, and gives you a hint to what the command accepts as operand
argument, including showing a metasyntactic variable:
(gdb) info threads [TAB]
-gid ID
(gdb) help info threads
Display currently known threads.
Usage: info threads [OPTION]... [ID]...
Options:
-gid
Show global thread IDs.
If ID is given, it is a space-separated list of IDs of threads to display.
Otherwise, all threads are displayed.

For example, when provided with the (incorrect) instruction
st4 {v0.16b-v3.16b}[4],[x0]
currently assembler provides the following error message
"Error: comma expected between operands at operand 2 -- `st4 {v0.16b-v3.16b}[4],[x0]'".
This was due to the assembler consuming the {v0.16b-v3.16b} as the first operand leaving
[4],[x0] as what it believed to be the second operand.
The actual error is that the first operand should be of element type and not
vector type (as provided). The new diagnostic for this error is
"Error: expected element type rather than vector type at operand 1 -- `st4 {v0.16b-v3.16b}[4],[x0]'.
Added testcases to check for the correct diagnostic message as well as checking that
variations of the structural load/store by element instruction also generate the error
when they have the same problem.

As discussed in the PR, we do not support the case where CMSE stubs
are inserted too far from their destination. This would require an
intermediate long-branch stub, which is tricky in this context.
Instead of crashing, this patch emit an error message and exits.

Consider a file containing only Armv8-M secure entry functions.
This file is compiled and linked with "-march=armv8-m.main -mfloat-abi=hard
-mfpu=fpv5-sp-d16 -mcmse -static --specs=rdimon.specs
-Wl,--section-start,.gnu.sgstubs=0x190000 -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections
-Wl,--gc-sections -g" options to generate an executable.
The executable generated does not contain any debug information of these
secure entry functions even though it contains secure entry functions in
the .text section. This patch fixes this problem.
The entry for the FMOV alias of FCPY was missing C_SCAN_MOVPRFX.
(The entry for FCPY itself was OK.)
This was the only /m-predicated instruction I could see that was
missing the flag.

SVE FCVTZS, FCVTZU, SCVTF and UCVTF need the same treatment as FCVT:
the register size used in a predicated MOVPRFX must be the wider of
the destination and source sizes.
Since I was adding a (supposedly) complete set of tests for converts,
it seemed more consistent to add a complete set of tests for shifts
as well, even though there's no bug to fix there.
