Since commit 43127ae571 ("Fix gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp") I run
into:
...
gdb compile failed, gcc: error: unrecognized command line option \
'-fcf-protection=none'; did you mean '-flto-partition=none'?
UNTESTED: gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp: failed to prepare

The problem is that -fcf-protection is supported starting gcc 8, but I'm using
system gcc 7.5.0.
Fix this by only adding -fcf-protection=none for gcc 8 and later.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc 7.5.0, 8.2.1 and 12.1.1.
Since commit c4a3dbaf11 ("Expose current 'print' settings to Python") we

gdb-add-index runs gdb with -iex 'set debuginfod enabled off'. If gdb
is not compiled against libdebuginfod this causes an unnecessary error
message to be printed to stderr indicating that gdb was not built with
debuginfod support.
Fix this by changing the 'set debuginfod enabled off' command to a
no-op when gdb isn't built with libdebuginfod.
gdb.base/maint.exp was using several gdb_expect statements, probably
because this test case predates the existance of gdb_test_multiple. This
commit updates the test case to use gdb_test_multiple, making it more
resilient to internal errors and such.
The only gdb_expect left in the testcase is one that specifically looks
for an internal error being triggered as a PASS.
When I rebased and updated the print_options patch, I forgot to update
print_options to add the new 'nibbles' feature to the result. This
patch fixes the oversight. I'm checking this in.
The test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp fails on a gdb assert
in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The
assert is due to the missing IEEE 128-bit support in file
gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c.
The IBM long double was the initial float 128-bit support added by IBM
The IEEE 128-bit support, which is similar IBM long double support, was
made the default starting with GCC 12. The floating point format
differences include the number of bits used to encode the exponent
and significand. Also, IBM long double values are passed in a pair of
floating point registers. The IEEE 128-bit value is passed in a single
vector register.
This patch fixes the gdb_assert (ok); in function
ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c by adding IEEE FLOAT
128-bit type support for PowerPC.
The patch has been tested on Power 10, ELFv2. It fixes the following list
of regression failures on Power 10:
gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp 192
gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp 76
gdb.base/structs.exp 9
The patch has been tested on Power 8 BE which is ELFv1.
This adds a 'summary' mode to Value.format_string and to
gdb.print_options. For the former, it lets Python code format values
using this mode. For the latter, it lets a printer potentially detect
if it is being called in a backtrace with 'set print frame-arguments'
set to 'scalars'.
I considered adding a new mode here to let a pretty-printer see
whether it was being called in a 'backtrace' context at all, but I'm
not sure if this is really desirable.
PR python/17291 asks for access to the current print options. While I
think this need is largely satisfied by the existence of
Value.format_string, it seemed to me that a bit more could be done.
First, while Value.format_string uses the user's settings, it does not
react to temporary settings such as "print/x". This patch changes
this.
Second, there is no good way to examine the current settings (in
particular the temporary ones in effect for just a single "print").
This patch adds this as well.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17291
Disable the Traceback Table generation on PowerPC for this test. The
Traceback Table consists of a series of bit fields to indicate things like
the Traceback Table version, language, and specific information about the
function. The Traceback Table is generated following the end of the code
for every function by default. The Traceback Table is defined in the
PowerPC ELF ABI and is intended to support debuggers and exception
handlers. The Traceback Table is displayed in the disassembly of functions
by default and is part of the function length. The table is typically
interpreted by the disassembler as data represented by .long xxx entries.
Generation of the Traceback Table is disabled in this test using the
PowerPC specific gcc compiler option -mtraceback=no, the xlc option
additional_flags-qtable=none and the clang optons
-mllvm -xcoff-traceback-table=false. Disabling the Traceback Table
generation in this test results in the gdb_test_multiple statement
correctly locating the address of the bclr instruction before the statement
"End of assembler dump." in the disassembly output.

Somehow, above, GDB re-added the zombie leader back before printing
"No unwaited-for children left.". The "only thread 3 left, main
thread terminated" test should have caught this, but didn't. That is
because the test's regexp has a ".*" after the part that matches
thread 3. This commit tightens that regexp to catch such a bug. It
also tightens the "only main thread left, thread 2 terminated" test's
regexp in the same way.

Due to recent changes in the default value of -fcf-protection for gcc, the
test gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp fails on Intel X86-64 with the
error:

22 | { /* inc.1 */
As stated in the error message the default "-fcf-protection" and
"-mindirect-branch' are in compatible. The fcf-protection argument needs
to be "-fcf-protection=none" for the test to compile on Intel.
The gcc command line "-mindirect-branch' is an Intel specific and will give
an error on other platforms. A check for X86 is added so the test will
only run on X86 platforms.
The patch has been tested and verified on Power 10 and Intel X86-64 systems
with no regressions.
With a test like this:
1 #include <dlfcn.h>
2 int
3 main ()
4 {
5 dlsym (RTLD_DEFAULT, "FOO");
6 return 0;
7 }
and then "start" followed by "until 6", GDB currently incorrectly
stops inside the runtime loader, instead of line 6. Vis:
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at until.c:5

206 dl-error-skeleton.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb)
The problem is related to longjmp handling -- dlsym internally
longjmps on error. The testcase can be reduced to this:
1 #include <setjmp.h>
2 void func () {
3 jmp_buf buf;
4 if (setjmp (buf) == 0)
5 longjmp (buf, 1);
6 }
7
8 int main () {
9 func ();
10 return 0; /* until to here */
11 }
and then with "start" followed by "until 10", GDB currently
incorrectly stops at line 4 (returning from setjmp), instead of line
10.
The problem is that the BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME code in
infrun.c fails to find the initiating frame, and so infrun thinks that
the longjmp jumped somewhere outer to "until"'s originating frame.
Here:
case BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME:
{
struct frame_info *init_frame;
/* There are several cases to consider.
1. The initiating frame no longer exists. In this case we
must stop, because the exception or longjmp has gone too
far.
...
init_frame = frame_find_by_id (ecs->event_thread->initiating_frame);
if (init_frame) // this is NULL!
{
...
}
/* For Cases 1 and 2, remove the step-resume breakpoint, if it
exists. */
delete_step_resume_breakpoint (ecs->event_thread);
end_stepping_range (ecs); // case 1., so we stop.
}
The initiating frame is set by until_break_command ->
set_longjmp_breakpoint. The initiating frame is supposed to be the
frame that is selected when the command was issued, but
until_break_command instead passes the frame id of the _caller_ frame
by mistake. When the "until LINE" command is issued from main, the
caller frame is the caller of main. When later infrun tries to find
that frame by id, it fails to find it, because frame_find_by_id
doesn't unwind past main.
The bug is that we passed the caller frame's id to
set_longjmp_breakpoint. We should have passed the selected frame's id
instead.

This improves the "set scheduler-locking" documentation in the GDB

- Tweak the "replay" mode's description to describe replay first
instead of recording, and also mention how the mode behaves during
normal execution.
- Say what is the default mode.

The cu->per_cu->lang field was added to carry information from the initial
partial symtabs phase to the symtab expansion phase, for the benefit of a
particular optimization in process_imported_unit_die.
Other uses have been added, but since the first phase now has been
parallelized, those have become problematic and sources of race conditions.
Fix this by adding dwarf2_cu::lang () and using it where we can to replace
cu->per_cu->lang () with cu->lang ().
Also assert in dwarf2_cu::lang () that we're not returning language_unknown.

The problem is that the written fields are part of the same memory location as
the read fields, so executing a read and write in different threads is
undefined behavour.
Making the written fields separate memory locations, using the new
struct packed template fixes this.
The set of fields has been established experimentally to be the
minimal set to get rid of this type of -fsanitize=thread errors, but
more fields might require the same treatment.
Looking at the properties of the lang field, unlike dwarf_version it's
not available in the unit header, so it will be set the first time
during the parallel cooked index reading. The same holds for
unit_type, and likewise for addresses_seen.
dwarf2_per_cu_data::addresses_seen is moved so that the bitfields that
currently follow it can be merged in the same memory location as the
bitfields that currently precede it, for better packing.

When building gdb with -fsanitize=thread and gcc 12, and running test-case
gdb.dwarf2/dwz.exp, we run into a few data races. For example, between:
...
Write of size 1 at 0x7b200000300e by thread T4:
#0 process_psymtab_comp_unit gdb/dwarf2/read.c:6789 (gdb+0x830720)

...
In other words, between:
...
this_cu->unit_type = DW_UT_partial;
...
and:
...
if (this_cu->reading_dwo_directly)
...
The problem is that the written fields are part of the same memory
location as the read fields, so executing a read and write in
different threads is undefined behavour.
Making the written fields separate memory locations, like this:
...
struct {
ENUM_BITFIELD (dwarf_unit_type) unit_type : 8;
};
...
fixes it, however that also increases the size of struct
dwarf2_per_cu_data, because it introduces padding due to alignment of
these new structs, which align on the natural alignment of the
specified type of their fields. We can fix that with
__attribute__((packed)), like so:
struct {
ENUM_BITFIELD (dwarf_unit_type) unit_type : 8 __attribute__((packed));
};
but to avoid having to write that in several places and add suitable
comments explaining how that concoction works, introduce a new struct
packed template that wraps/hides this. Instead of the above, we'll be
able to write:
packed<dwarf_unit_type, 1> unit_type;
Note that we can't change the type of dwarf_unit_type, as that is
defined in include/, and shared with other projects, some of those
written in C.
This patch just adds the struct packed type. Following patches will
make use of it. One of those patches will want to wrap a struct
packed in an std::atomic, like:
std::atomic<std::packed<language, 1>> m_lang;
so the new gdbsupport/packed.h header adds some operators to make
comparisions between that std::atomic and the type that the wrapped
struct packed wraps work, like in:
if (m_lang == language_c)
It would be possible to implement struct packed without using
__attribute__((packed)), by having it store an array of bytes of the
appropriate size instead, however that would make it less convenient
to debug GDB. The way it's implemented, printing a struct packed
variable just prints its field using its natural type, which is
particularly useful if the type is an enum. I believe that
__attribute__((packed)) is supported by all compilers that are able to
build GDB. Even a few BFD headers use on ATTRIBUTE_PACKED on external
types:
include/coff/external.h: } ATTRIBUTE_PACKED
include/coff/external.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED ;
include/coff/external.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED ;
include/coff/pe.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED ;
include/coff/pe.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED;
include/elf/external.h:} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED Elf_External_Versym;
It is not possible to build GDB with MSVC today, but if it could, that
would be one compiler that doesn't support this attribute. However,
it supports packing via pragmas, so there's a way to cross that bridge
if we ever get to it. I believe any compiler worth its salt supports
some way of packing.
In any case, the worse that happens without the attribute is that some
types become larger than ideal. Regardless, I've added a couple
static assertions to catch such compilers in action:
/* Ensure size and aligment are what we expect. */
gdb_static_assert (sizeof (packed) == Bytes);
gdb_static_assert (alignof (packed) == 1);

It might be possible to hit md_end before md_begin is called, don't
segfault if so. Also, remove a useless check.
* gas/config/tc-ppc.c (insn_calloc): Remove needless overflow
check.
(ppc_md_end): Check ppc_hash before deleting. Clear ppc_hash.
The bug testcase uses an output section named .rel or .rela which has
input .data sections mapped to it. The input .data section has
relocations. When counting output relocations SHT_REL and SHT_RELA
section reloc_count is ignored, with the justification that reloc
sections themselves can't have relocations and some backends use
reloc_count in reloc sections. However, the test wrongly used the
output section type (which normally would match input section type).
Fix that. Note that it is arguably wrong for ld to leave the output
.rel/.rela section type as SHT_REL/SHT_RELA when non-empty non-reloc
sections are written to it, but I'm not going to change that since it
might be useful to hand-craft relocs in a data section that is then
written to a SHT_REL/SHT_RELA output section.

* elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Use input section type rather
than output section type to determine whether to exclude using
reloc_count from that section.
For csky arch, the correspondence between Dwarf registers and GDB
registers are as follows:
dwarf regnos 0~31 ==> gdb regs r0~r31
dwarf regno CSKY_HI_REGNUM(36) ==> gdb reg hi
dwarf regno CSKY_LO_REGNUM(37) ==> gdb reg hi
dwarf regno CSKY_PC_REGNUM(72) ==> gdb reg pc
dwarf regnos FV_PSEUDO_REGNO_FIRST(74)~FV_PSEUDO_REGNO_LAST(201)
==>
gdb regs s0~s127 (pseudo regs for float and vector regs)
other dwarf regnos have no corresponding gdb regs to them.
[Note: the testcased added by this commit depends on
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-June/190259.html,
otherwise GDB just crashes when detaching the core]
Currently, in MI, =thread-created are always emitted, like:
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="195680"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
...
but on teardown, if the target uses exit_inferior_silent, then you'll
only see the inferior exit notification (thread-group-exited), no
notification for threads.
The core target is one of the few targets that use
exit_inferior_silent. Here's an example session:
-target-select core $corefile
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="195680"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
...
^connected,frame=....
(gdb)
-target-detach
=thread-group-exited,id="i1"
^done
(gdb)
This imbalance of emitting =thread-created but then not =thread-exited
seems off to me. (And, it complicates changes I want to do to
centralize emitting thread exit notifications for the CLI, which is
why I'm looking at this.)
And then, since most other targets use exit_inferior instead of
exit_inferior_silent, MI is already emitting =thread-exited
notifications when tearing down an inferior, for most targets.
This commit makes MI always emit the =thread-exited notifications,
even for exit_inferior_silent.
Afterwards, when debugging a core, MI outputs:
(gdb)
-target-detach
=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1" << new line
=thread-group-exited,id="i1"
^done
(gdb)
Surprisingly, there's no MI testcase debugging a core file. This
commit adds the first.

After loading a core file, you're supposed to be able to use "detach"
to unload the core file. That unfortunately regressed starting with
GDB 11, with these commits:
1192f124a3 - gdb: generalize commit_resume, avoid commit-resuming when threads have pending statuses
408f66864a - detach in all-stop with threads running
resulting in a GDB crash:

The code that crashes looks like:
static void
maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_targets ()
{
scoped_restore_current_thread restore_thread;
for (inferior *inf : all_non_exited_inferiors ())
{
process_stratum_target *proc_target = inf->process_target ();
if (proc_target->commit_resumed_state)
^^^^^^^^^^^
With 'proc_target' above being null. all_non_exited_inferiors filters
out inferiors that have pid==0. We get here at the end of
detach_command, after core_target::detach has already run, at which
point the inferior _should_ have pid==0 and no process target. It is
clear it no longer has a process target, but, it still has a pid!=0
somehow.
The reason the inferior still has pid!=0, is that core_target::detach
just unpushes, and relies on core_target::close to actually do the
getting rid of the core and exiting the inferior. The problem with
that is that detach_command grabs an extra strong reference to the
process stratum target, so the unpush_target inside
core_target::detach doesn't actually result in a call to
core_target::close.
Fix this my moving the cleaning up the core inferior to a shared
routine called by both core_target::close and core_target::detach. We
still need to cleanup the inferior from within core_file::close
because there are paths to it that want to get rid of the core without
going through detach. E.g., "core-file" -> "run".
This commit includes a new test added to gdb.base/corefile.exp to
cover the "core-file core" -> "detach" scenario.
