Code should not be using these directly, instead they should be
resolving these dynamically via cb_host_to_target_errno maps.
Fix the Blackfin code and remove the defines out of the header
so no new code can rely on them.
Now that ChangeLog entries are no longer used for sim patches,
this commit renames all relevant sim ChangeLog to ChangeLog-2021,
similar to what we would do in the context of the "Start of New
Year" procedure.
The purpose of this change is to avoid people merging ChangeLog
entries by mistake when applying existing commits that they are
currently working on.
Also throw in a .gitignore entry to keep people from adding new
ChangeLog files anywhere in the sim tree.
If I debug a single-thread program and look at the infrun debug logs, I
see:
[infrun] start_step_over: stealing global queue of threads to step, length = 2
That makes no sense... turns out there's a buglet in
thread_step_over_chain_length, "num" should be initialized to 0. I
think this bug is a leftover from an earlier version of the code (not
merged upstream) that manually walked the list, where the first item was
implicitly counted (hence the 1).

The r_ldsomap field is specific to Solaris (part of librtld_db), and
should never be accessed for Linux. glibc is planning to add a field
to support multiple namespaces. But there will be no r_ldsomap when
r_version is bumped to 2. Add linux_[ilp32|lp64]_fetch_link_map_offsets
to set r_ldsomap_offset to -1 and use them for Linux targets.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28236
Update gdbserver to check r_version < 1 instead of r_version != 1 so
that r_version can be bumped for a new field in the glibc debugger
interface to support multiple namespaces. Since so far, the gdbserver
only reads fields defined for r_version == 1, it is compatible with
r_version >= 1.
All future glibc debugger interface changes will be backward compatible.
If there is ever the need for backward incompatible change to the glibc
debugger interface, a new DT_XXX element will be provided to access the
new incompatible interface.

On an internal test case, using an arm-elf target, commit ba5bc3e5a9
("Make DWARF evaluator return a single struct value") causes a
regression. (It doesn't happen for any of the other cross targets
that I test when importing upstream gdb.)
I don't know if there's an upstream gdb test case showing the same
problem... I can only really run native tests with dejagnu AFAIK.
The failure manifests like this:
Breakpoint 1, file_1.export_1 (param_1=<error reading variable: Unable to access DWARF register number 64>, str=...) at [...]/file_1.adb:5
Whereas when it works it looks like:
Breakpoint 1, file_1.export_1 (param_1=99.0, str=...) at [...]/file_1.adb:5
The difference is that the new code uses the passed-in gdbarch,
whereas the old code used the frame's gdbarch, when handling
DWARF_VALUE_REGISTER.
This patch restores the use of the frame's arch.
Commit 0579205aec ("Simplify dwarf_expr_context class interface")
caused a regression in the internal AdaCore test suite. I didn't try
to reproduce this with the GDB test suite, but the test is identical
to gdb.dwarf2/dynarr-ptr.exp.
The problem is that this change:
case DW_OP_push_object_address:
/* Return the address of the object we are currently observing. */
- if (this->data_view.data () == nullptr
- && this->obj_address == 0)
+ if (this->m_addr_info == nullptr)
... slightly changes the logic here. In particular, it's possible for
the caller to pass in a non-NULL m_addr_info, but one that looks like:
(top) p *this.m_addr_info
$15 = {
type = 0x29b7a70,
valaddr = {
m_array = 0x0,
m_size = 0
},
addr = 0,
next = 0x0
}
In this case, an additional check is needed. With the current code,
what happens instead is that the computation computes an incorrect
address -- but one that does not fail in read_memory, due to the
precise memory map of the embedded target in question.
This patch restores the old logic.
As breakpoint_modified observer is currently notified upon breakpoint stop
before handling auto-disabling when enable count is reached, the observer
is never notified of the disabling.
The problem affects:
- The MI interpreter enabled= value when reporting =breakpoint-modified
- A Python event handler for breakpoint_modified using the "enabled"
member of its parameter
- insight: breakpoint GUI window is not properly updated upon auto-disable
This patch moves the observer notification after the auto-disabling
code and implements corresponding tests for the MI and Python cases.

The saga of commit 40726f16a8 continues. This attacks the problem
of switching between SCRIPT and EXPRESSION state lexing by removing
the need to do so for phdrs like ":text". Instead {WILDCHAR}*
matching, the reason why ":text" lexed as one token, is restricted to
within the braces of a section or overlay statement. The new WILD
lexer state is switched at the non-optional brace tokens, so
ldlex_backup is no longer needed. I've also removed the BOTH state,
which doesn't seem to be needed any more. Besides rules involving
error reporting, there was just one place where SCRIPT appeared
without BOTH, the {WILDCHAR}* rule, three where BOTH appears without
SCRIPT for tokens that only need EXPRESSION state, and two where BOTH
appears alongside INPUT_LIST. (Since I'm editing the wild and
filename rules, removing BOTH and adding WILD can also be seen as
renaming the old BOTH state to SCRIPT and renaming the old SCRIPT
state to WILD with a reduced scope.)
As a followup, I'll look at removing EXPRESSION state from some lexer
rules that no longer need it due to this cleanup.

While working on the testsuite, I ended up noticing that GDB fails to
produce a full backtrace from a thread waiting in pthread_join. When
selecting the waiting thread and using the 'bt' command, the following
result can be observed:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000003ff7fccd20 in __futex_abstimed_wait_common64 () from /lib/riscv64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
#1 0x0000003ff7fc43da in __pthread_clockjoin_ex () from /lib/riscv64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
On my platform, I do not have debug symbols for glibc, so I need to rely
on prologue analysis in order to unwind stack.
Here is what the function prologue looks like:
(gdb) disassemble __pthread_clockjoin_ex
Dump of assembler code for function __pthread_clockjoin_ex:
0x0000003ff7fc42de <+0>: addi sp,sp,-144

0x0000003ff7fc4302 <+36>: sd a5,40(sp)
As far as prologue analysis is concerned, the most interesting part is
done at address 0x0000003ff7fc42ee (<+16>): 'sd ra,136(sp)'. This stores
the RA (return address) register on the stack, which is the information
we are looking for in order to identify the caller.
In the current implementation of the prologue scanner, GDB stops when
hitting 0x0000003ff7fc42e6 (<+8>) because it does not know what to do
with the 'ld' instruction. GDB thinks it reached the end of the
prologue but have not yet reached the important part, which explain
GDB's inability to unwind past this point.
The section of the prologue starting at <+4> until <+12> is used to load
the stack canary[1], which will then be placed on the stack at <+36> at
the end of the prologue.
In order to have the prologue properly handled, this commit proposes to
add support for the ld instruction in the RISC-V prologue scanner.
I guess riscv32 would use lw in such situation so this patch also adds
support for this instruction.
With this patch applied, gdb is now able to unwind past pthread_join:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000003ff7fccd20 in __futex_abstimed_wait_common64 () from /lib/riscv64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
#1 0x0000003ff7fc43da in __pthread_clockjoin_ex () from /lib/riscv64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0
#2 0x0000002aaaaaa88e in bar() ()
#3 0x0000002aaaaaa8c4 in foo() ()
#4 0x0000002aaaaaa8da in main ()
I have had a look to see if I could reproduce this easily, but in my
simple testcases using '-fstack-protector-all', the canary is loaded
after the RA register is saved. I do not have a reliable way of
generating a prologue similar to the problematic one so I forged one
instead.
The testsuite have been run on riscv64 ubuntu 21.01 with no regression
observed.

Philippe Blain pointed out that the gdb documentation does not mention
that Pygments may be used for source highlighting. This patch updates
the docs to reflect how highlighting is actually done.
I noticed that gdbarch_selftest::operator() leaked the value returned by
gdbarch_printable_names. Make gdbarch_printable_names return an
std::vector and update callers. That makes it easier for everyone
involved, less manual memory management.

The test steps into func2 and than does an up to get back to the previous
frame. The test checks that the line number you are at after the up command
is greater than the line where the function was called from. The
assembly/codegen for the powerpc target includes a NOP after the
branch-link.
func2 (); /* Break at func2 call site. /
10000694: 59 00 00 48 bl 100006ec
10000698: 00 00 00 60 nop
return 0; / Break to end. */
1000069c: 00 00 20 39 li r9,0
The PC at the instruction following the branch-link is 0x10000698 which
GDB.find_pc_line() maps to the same line number as the bl instruction.
GDB did move past the branch-link location thus making forward progress.
The following proposed fix adds an additional PC check to see if forward
progress was made. The line test is changed from greater than to greater
than or equal.
As CSKY arch has not parsed target-description.xml in csky_gdbarch_init,
when a remote server, like csky-qemu or gdbserver, send a target-description.xml
to gdb, tdesc_has_registers will return ture, but tdesc_register_name (gdbarch, 0)
will return NULL, so a cmd "info registers r0" will not work.
Function of parsing target-description.xml will be add later for CSKY arch,
now it is temporarily removed to allow me to do other supported tests.

* csky-tdep.c : not using tdesc funtions in csky_register_name

We're currently missing 3 of them:
NT_ARM_PACA_KEYS
NT_ARM_PACG_KEYS

include/elf/
* common.h (NT_ARM_PACA_KEYS, NT_ARM_PACG_KEYS)
(NT_ARM_PAC_ENABLED_KEYS): New constants.
As discussed previously, a.out support is now quite deprecated, and in
some cases removed, in both Binutils itself and NetBSD, so this legacy
default makes little sense. `netbsdelf*` and `netbsdaout*` still work
allowing the user to be explicit about there choice. Additionally, the
configure script warns about the change as Nick Clifton requested.
One possible concern was the status of NetBSD on NS32K, where only a.out
was supported. But per [1] NetBSD has removed support, and if it were to
come back, it would be with ELF. The binutils implementation is
therefore marked obsolete, per the instructions in the last message.
With that patch and this one applied, I have confirmed the following:
--target=i686-unknown-netbsd
--target=i686-unknown-netbsdelf
builds completely
--target=i686-unknown-netbsdaout
properly fails because target is deprecated.
--target=vax-unknown-netbsdaout builds completely except for gas, where
the target is deprecated.

Currently, when GDB hits an internal error, and the user selects to
dump core, the recently added feature to write a backtrace to the
console will kick in, and print a backtrace as well as dumping the
core.
This was certainly not my intention when adding the backtrace on fatal
signal functionality, this feature was intended to produce a backtrace
when GDB crashes due to some fatal signal, internal errors should have
continued to behave as they did before, unchanged.
In this commit I set the signal disposition of SIGABRT back to SIG_DFL
just prior to the call to abort() that GDB uses to trigger the core
dump, this prevents GDB reaching the code that writes the backtrace to
the console.
I've also added a test that checks we don't see a backtrace on the
console after an internal error.
Register handlers for SIGBUS, SIGFPE, and SIGABRT. All of these
signals are setup as fatal signals that will cause GDB to terminate.
However, by passing these signals through the handle_fatal_signal
function, a user can arrange to see a backtrace when GDB
terminates (see maint set backtrace-on-fatal-signal).
In normal use of GDB there should be no user visible changes after
this commit. Only if GDB terminates with one of the above signals
will GDB change slightly, potentially printing a backtrace before
aborting.
I've added new tests for SIGFPE, SIGBUS, and SIGABRT.
This commit adds a new maintenance feature, the ability to print
a (limited) backtrace if GDB dies due to a fatal signal.
The backtrace is produced using the backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd
functions which are declared in the execinfo.h header, and both of
which are async signal safe. A configure check has been added to
check for these features, if they are not available then the new code
is not compiled into GDB and the backtrace will not be printed.
The motivation for this new feature is to aid in debugging GDB in
situations where GDB has crashed at a users site, but the user is
reluctant to share core files, possibly due to concerns about what
might be in the memory image within the core file. Such a user might
be happy to share a simple backtrace that was written to stderr.
The production of the backtrace is on by default, but can switched off
using the new commands:
maintenance set backtrace-on-fatal-signal on|off
maintenance show backtrace-on-fatal-signal
Right now, I have hooked this feature in to GDB's existing handling of
SIGSEGV only, but this will be extended to more signals in a later
commit.
One additional change I have made in this commit is that, when we
decide GDB should terminate due to the fatal signal, we now
raise the same fatal signal rather than raising SIGABRT.
Currently, this is only effecting our handling of SIGSEGV. So,
previously, if GDB hit a SEGV then we would terminate GDB with a
SIGABRT. After this commit we will terminate GDB with a SIGSEGV.
This feels like an improvement to me, we should still get a core dump,
but in many shells, the user will see a more specific message once GDB
exits, in bash for example "Segmentation fault" rather than "Aborted".
Finally then, here is an example of the output a user would see if GDB
should hit an internal SIGSEGV:
Fatal signal: Segmentation fault

A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further
debugging is not possible. GDB will now terminate.
This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
It is disappointing that backtrace_symbols_fd does not actually map
the addresses back to symbols, this appears, in part, to be due to GDB
not being built with -rdynamic as the manual page for
backtrace_symbols_fd suggests, however, even when I do add -rdynamic
to the build of GDB I only see symbols for some addresses.
We could potentially look at alternative libraries to provide the
backtrace (e.g. libunwind) however, the solution presented here, which
is available as part of glibc is probably a good baseline from which
we might improve things in future.
The async_init_signals has, for some time, dealt with async and sync
signals, so removing the async prefix makes sense I think.
Additionally, as pointed out by Pedro:
.....
The comments relating to SIGTRAP and SIGQUIT within this function are
out of date.
The comments for SIGTRAP talk about the signal disposition (SIG_IGN)
being passed to the inferior, meaning the signal disposition being
inherited by GDB's fork children. However, we now call
restore_original_signals_state prior to forking, so the comment on
SIGTRAP is redundant.
The comments for SIGQUIT are similarly out of date, further, the
comment on SIGQUIT talks about problems with BSD4.3 and vfork,
however, we have not supported BSD4.3 for several years now.
Given the above, it seems that changing the disposition of SIGTRAP is
no longer needed, so I've deleted the signal() call for SIGTRAP.
Finally, the header comment on the function now called
gdb_init_signals was getting quite out of date, so I've updated it
to (hopefully) better reflect reality.
There should be no user visible change after this commit.
This commit fixes the smallest of small possible bug related to signal
handling. If we look in async_init_signals we see code like this:
signal (SIGQUIT, handle_sigquit);
sigquit_token =
create_async_signal_handler (async_do_nothing, NULL, "sigquit");
Then if we look in handle_sigquit we see code like this:
mark_async_signal_handler (sigquit_token);
signal (sig, handle_sigquit);
Finally, in mark_async_signal_handler we have:
async_handler_ptr->ready = 1;
Where async_handler_ptr will be sigquit_token.
What this means is that if a SIGQUIT arrive in async_init_signals
after handle_sigquit has been registered, but before sigquit_token has
been initialised, then GDB will most likely crash.
The chance of this happening is tiny, but fixing this is trivial, just
ensure we call create_async_signal_handler before calling signal, so
lets do that.
There are no tests for this. Trying to land a signal in the right
spot is pretty hit and miss. I did try changing the current HEAD GDB
like this:
signal (SIGQUIT, handle_sigquit);
raise (SIGQUIT);
sigquit_token =
create_async_signal_handler (async_do_nothing, NULL, "sigquit");
And confirmed that this did result in a crash, after my change I tried
this:
sigquit_token =
create_async_signal_handler (async_do_nothing, NULL, "sigquit");
signal (SIGQUIT, handle_sigquit);
raise (SIGQUIT);
And GDB now starts up just fine.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* event-top.c (async_init_signals): For each signal, call signal
only after calling create_async_signal_handler.
