Base and index register 0 have no effect in address computation:
"A value of zero in the B [base] or X [index] field specifies that no
base or index is to be applied, and, thus, general register 0 cannot be
designated as containing a base address or index."
IBM z/Architecture Principles of Operation [1], chapter "Organization",
section "General Registers".
Index register 0 is omitted in the s390 disassembly. Base register 0 is
omitted in D(B), D(L,B) and D(X,B) - the latter only if the index
register is zero.
To make it more apparent print base register 0 as "0" instead of "%r0",
whenever it would still be printed in the disassembly.

Print a warning message when the register type of a specified register
name does not match with the operand's register type:
operand {#}: expected {access|control|floating-point|general|vector}

Introduce a s390-specific assembler option "warn-regtype-mismatch"
with the values "strict", "relaxed", and "no" as well as an option
"no-warn-regtype-mismatch" which control whether the assembler
performs register name type checks and generates above warning messages.
warn-regtype-mismatch=strict:
Perform strict register name type checks.
warn-regtype-mismatch=relaxed:
Perform relaxed register name type checks, which allow floating-point
register (FPR) names %f0 to %f15 to be specified as argument to vector
register (VR) operands and vector register (VR) names %v0 to %v15 to
be specified as argument to floating-point register (FPR) operands.
This is acceptable as the FPRs are embedded into the lower halves of
the VRs. Make "relaxed" the default, as GCC generates assembler code
using FPR and VR interchangeably, which would cause assembler warnings
to be generated with "strict".
warn-regtype-mismatch=no:
no-warn-regtype-mismatch:
Disable any register name type checks.
Tag .insn pseudo mnemonics as such, to skip register name type checks
on those. They need to be skipped, as there do not exist .insn pseudo
mnemonics for every possible operand register type combination. Keep
track of the currently parsed operand number to provide it as reference
in warning messages.
To verify that the introduction of this change does not unnecessarily
affect the compilation of existing code the GNU Binutils, GNU C Library,
and Linux Kernel have been build with the new assembler, verifying that
the assembler did not generate any of the new warning messages.

The combination of an architecture size of 32 bits and z/Architecture
mode requires the highgprs flag to be set in the ELF output. It causes
the high-halves of the general purpose registers (GPRs) to be preserved
at run-time, so that the code can use 64-bit GPRs.
The architecture size of 32 bits can either be the default in case of
a default architecture name of "s390" or due to specification of the
option -m31 (to generate the 31-bit file format).
The z/Architecture mode can either be the default or due to
specification of the option -mzarch (to assemble for z/Architecture
mode). It can also be selected using the pseudo commands
".machinemode zarch" and ".machinemode zarch_nohighgprs". The latter
not causing the highgprs flag to be set.
The highgprs flag was only set when the following s390-specific
assembler options were given in the following specific order:
"-m31 -mzarch".
The highgprs flag was erroneously not set when:
- the order of above options was inverse (i.e. "-mzarch -m31"),
- the architecture mode defaulted to z/Architecture mode and
option "-m31" was specified,
- the architecture size defaulted to 32 bits due to a default
architecture name of "s390" and option -mzarch was specified,
- the architecture size defaulted to 32 bits and the architecture
mode defaulted to z/Architecture due to the specified processor
(e.g. "-march=z900" or follow-on processor).
Determine whether to set the highgprs flag in init_default_arch() after
having processed all assembler options in md_parse_option(). This
ensures the flag is set in all of the above cases it was erroneously not
set. Add test cases for highgprs flag, including ones that use
.machinemode to switch the architecture mode.

This allows the assembler to continue and potentially report further
syntax errors in the source. This should not cause syntax errors to

Consumers can't know which execution mode is in effect for a certain
piece of code; they can only go from object file properties. Hence which
register numbers to encode ought to depend solely on object file type.
In tc_x86_frame_initial_instructions() do away with parsing a register
name: We have a symbolic constant already for the 64-bit case, and the
32-bit number isn't going to change either. Said constant's definition
needs moving, though, to be available also for non-ELF. While moving
also adjust the comment to clarify that it's applicable to 64-bit mode
only.
... plus the SME part of B16B16. As per
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2024-February/132408.html
SVE2.1 support is both incomplete and buggy. SME2.1 "support" goes as
far as a single instruction (a subset of movaz forms) only. The SME part
of B16B16 is entirely missing.
While most logic in optimize_encoding() is already covering APX by way
of the earlier NDD->REX2 conversion, there's a remaining set of cases
which wants handling separately.
In this case spaces 0f38 and 0f3a may not be put in place. To achieve
the intended effect, operand parsing (but not operand processing) needs
pulling ahead, so we know whether eGRP-s are in use.
Even when an EVEX encoding is available, use of such a prefix ought to
be respected (resulting in an error) rather than ignored. As requested
during review already, introduce a new encoding enumerator to record use
of eGPR-s, and update state transitions accordingly.
The optimize_encoding() change also addresses an internal assembler
error that was previously raised when respective memory operands used
eGPR-s for addressing.
While this results in a change of diagnostic issued for VEX-encoded
insns, the new one is at least no worse than the prior one.
Today I realized that while the .debug_names writer uses DW_FORM_udata
for the DIE offset, DW_FORM_ref_addr would be more appropriate here.

When running test-case gdb.dap/pause.exp 100 times in a loop, it passes

But if we remove the two "sleep 0.2" from the test-case, we run into
(copied from dap.log and edited for readability):
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "startup.py", line 251, in message
def message():
KeyboardInterrupt

...
This happens as follows.
CancellationHandler.cancel calls gdb.interrupt to cancel a request in flight.
The idea is that this interrupt triggers while in fn here in message (a nested
function of send_gdb_with_response):
...
def message():
try:
val = fn()
result_q.put(val)
except (Exception, KeyboardInterrupt) as e:
result_q.put(e)
...
but instead it triggers outside the try/except.
Fix this by:
- in CancellationHandler, renaming variable in_flight to in_flight_dap_thread,
and adding a variable in_flight_gdb_thread to be able to distinguish when
a request is in flight in the dap thread or the gdb thread.
- adding a wrapper Cancellable to to deal with cancelling the wrapped
event
- using Cancellable in send_gdb and send_gdb_with_response to wrap the posted
event
- in CancellationHandler.cancel, only call gdb.interrupt if
req == self.in_flight_gdb_thread.
This makes the test-case pass 100/100, also when adding the extra stressor of
"taskset -c 0", which makes the fail more likely without the patch.

Commit 92d48a1e4e ("Add an arm-tls feature which includes the tpidruro
register from CP15.") introduced the org.gnu.gdb.arm.tls feature, which
adds the tpidruro register, and unconditionally enabled it in
aarch32_create_target_description.
In Linux, the tpidruro register isn't available via ptrace in the 32-bit
kernel but it is available for an aarch32 program running under an arm64
kernel via the ptrace compat interface. This isn't currently implemented
however, which causes GDB on arm-linux with 64-bit kernel to list the
register but show it as unavailable, as reported by Tom de Vries:
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex 'p $tpidruro'
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x512
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0xaaaaa512 in main ()
$1 = <unavailable>
Simon Marchi then clarified:
> The only time we should be seeing some "unavailable" registers or memory
> is in the context of tracepoints, for things that are not collected.
> Seeing an unavailable register here is a sign that something is not
> right.
Therefore, disable the TLS feature in aarch32 target descriptions for Linux
and NetBSD targets (the latter also doesn't seem to support accessing
tpidruro either, based on a quick look at arm-netbsd-nat.c).

Right now, Python is shut down via a final cleanup. However, it seems
to me that it is better for extension languages to be shut down

reason for this is that a subsequent patch adds another case like

Python shutdown, it seemed better to let these be done via final
cleanups, and then have Python shutdown itself be the special case.

not propagate the Python exception -- they simply indicate that one
occurred.
This patch reimplements these functions to respect the general gdb
convention here. As a bonus, some Windows-specific code can be
removed, as can the _execute_file function.
The bulk of this change is tweaking the test suite to match the new
way that exceptions are displayed. These changes are largely
uninteresting. However, it's worth pointing out the py-error.exp
change. Here, the failure changes because the test changes the host
charset to something that isn't supported by Python. This then
results in a weird error in the new setup.
