The commit ed32754a8c ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.server/multi-ui-errors.exp for
remote target") intended to addresss the problem that this command:
...
set gdbserver_pid [exp_pid -i $server_spawn_id]
...
does not return the pid of the gdbserver for remote target, but rather the one
of the ssh client session.
To fix this, it added another way of getting the gdbserver_pid.
For the trivial case of non-remote target, the PID found by either method
should be identical, but if we compare those by adding
"puts [exec ps -p $gdbserver_pid]" we get:
...
PID TTY TIME CMD
31711 pts/8 00:00:00 gdbserver
PID TTY TIME CMD
31718 pts/8 00:00:00 server-kill-pyt
...
The problem is that while the gdbserver PID is supposed to be read from the
result of "gdb.execute ('p server_pid')" in the python script, instead it's
taken from:
...
Process server-kill-python created; pid = 31718^M
...
Fix this by moving the printing of the gdbserver PID out of the python script.
Also double-check the two methods against each other, in the cases that they
should match.

In test-case gdb.server/server-kill-python.exp we have:
...
if {[gdb_spawn_with_cmdline_opts \
"-quiet -iex \"set height 0\" -iex \"set width 0\" -ex \"source $host_file1\""] != 0} {
fail "spawn"
return
}
...
I reproduced the problem by reverting the fix at the commit adding both the
fix and the test-case, and the reproduced the same problem using:
...
(gdb) source $host_file1
...
so there doesn't seem to be a specific need to source the python file using
"-ex".
Simplify the test-case by sourcing the python file using send_gdb.
This also allow us to simplify the python script.

Running the gdb test suite with the thread sanitizer enabled shows a
race when bfd_check_format_matches and bfd_cache_close_all are called
simultaneously on different threads.
This patch fixes this race by having bfd_check_format_matches
temporarily remove the BFD from the file descriptor cache -- leaving
it open while format-checking proceeds.
In this setup, the BFD client is responsible for closing the BFD again
on the "checking" thread, should that be desired. gdb does this by
calling bfd_cache_close in the relevant worker thread.
An earlier version of this patch omitted the "possibly_cached" helper
function. However, this ran into crashes in the binutils test suite
involving the archive-checking abort in bfd_cache_lookup_worker. I do
not understand the purpose of this check, so I've simply had the new
function work around it. I couldn't find any comments explaining this
situation, either. I suspect that there may still be races related to
this case, but I don't think I have access to the platforms where gdb
deals with archives.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31264
A gdb bug found that bfd_check_format_matches has some data races when
called from multiple threads.
In particular, it changes the BFD error handler, which is a global.
It also has a local static variable ("in_check_format") that is used
for recursion detection. And, finally, it may emit warnings to the
per-xvec warning array, which is a global.
This patch removes all the races here.
The first part of patch is to change _bfd_error_handler to directly
handle the needs of bfd_check_format_matches. This way, the error
handler does not need to be changed.
This change lets us use the new per-thread global
(error_handler_messages, replacing error_handler_bfd) to also remove
the need for in_check_format -- a single variable suffices.
Finally, the global per-xvec array is replaced with a new type that
holds the error messages. The outermost such type is stack-allocated
in bfd_check_format_matches.
I tested this using the binutils test suite. I also built gdb with
thread sanitizer and ran the test case that was noted as failing.
Finally, Alan sent me the test file that caused the addition of the
xvec warning code in the first place, and I confirmed that "nm-new"
has the same behavior on this file both before and after this patch.

Tom de Vries pointed out that the combination of sharding,
multi-threading, and per-CU "racing" means that sometimes a cross-CU
DIE reference might not be correctly resolved. However, it's
important to handle this correctly, due to some unfortunate aspects of
DWARF.
This patch implements this by arranging to preserve each worker's DIE
map through the end of index finalization. The extra data is
discarded when finalization is done. This approach also allows the
parent name resolution to be sharded, by integrating it into the
existing entry finalization loop.
In an earlier review, I remarked that addrmap couldn't be used here.
However, I was mistaken. A *mutable* addrmap cannot be used, as those
are based on splay trees and restructure the tree even during lookups
(and thus aren't thread-safe). A fixed addrmap, on the other hand, is
just a vector and is thread-safe.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30846
This changes the DIE range map from a raw addrmap to a custom class.
A new type is used to represent the ranges, in an attempt to gain a
little type safety as well.
Note that the new code includes a map-of-maps type. This is not used
yet, but will be used in the next patch.
Co-Authored-By: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
A subsequent patch needs to move an addrmap. This patch adds the
necessary support. It also changes addrmap_fixed to take a 'const'
addrmap_mutable. This is fine according to the contract of
addrmap_mutable; but it did require a compensating const_cast in the
implementation.
Currently the DWARF scanner will enter enumeration constants into the
same namespace as the DW_TAG_enumeration_type itself. This is the
right thing to do, but the implementation may result in strange
entries being added to the addrmap that maps DIE ranges to entries.
This came up when debugging an earlier version of this series; and
while I don't think this should impact the current series, it seems
better to clean this up anyway.
In the new code, rather than pass the "wrong" scope down through
recursive calls to the scanner, the correct scope is always passed,
and then the parent handling is done when creating the enumerator
entry.
In scan_attributes there's code:
...
if (new_reader->cu == reader->cu
&& new_info_ptr > watermark_ptr
&& *parent_entry == nullptr)
...
else if (*parent_entry == nullptr)
...
...
that uses the "*parent_entry == nullptr" condition twice.
Make this somewhat more readable by factoring out the condition:
...
if (*parent_entry == nullptr)
{
if (new_reader->cu == reader->cu
&& new_info_ptr > watermark_ptr)
...
else
...
}
...
This also allows us to factor out "form_addr (origin_offset, origin_is_dwz)".
Tested on x86_64-linux.
I suppose this was needed when we had `void` in declarations of methods
with no parameters. If so, we no longer need it. There are no changes
in the generated file.

commit e8cd90f0 ("Rewrite gdb_bfd_error_handler") broke the clang
build.
The problem here is that print_error_callback isn't marked as being
printf-like, but it calls string_file::vprintf, triggering:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb_bfd.c:1202:18: error: format string is not a string literal [-Werror,-Wformat-nonliteral]
This patch applies the attribute to this function.
It also removes the attribute from gdb_bfd_error_handler, because that
function is no longer really printf-like.
The mingw build currently issues a warning:
./../../src/gdb/utils.h:378:56: warning: ignoring attributes on template argument 'void(const char*, va_list)' {aka 'void(const char*, char*)'} [-Wignored-attributes]

A co-worker noticed a strange situation where "target remote" would
fail due to a trailing newline in the address part of the command.
Eventually he tracked this down to the fact that he was pasting the
command into the terminal, and due to bracketed paste mode, the
newline was being preserved by readline.
It seems to me that we basically never want a trailing newline on a
gdb command, so this patch removes it when handling the readline
result.

The uncompressed EBREAK instruction does not work
correctly this way, and the comment saying that
GDB expects us to step over EBREAK is just wrong.
The PC was always 4 bytes too high, which skips one
instruction at break and step over commands, and
causes complete chaos. The compressed EBREAK was
already implemented correctly.

If we generate an object file using an assembler with the new
relocations added, and then linking those files with an older
linker, the link will still complete and the linked file will
be generated.
In this case we should report an error instead of continuing
the linking process.
Currently, when the current thread is running, you can print global
variables. However, if you try to set a watchpoint on the same
globals, GDB errors out, complaining that the selected thread is
running. Like so:
(gdb) c&
Continuing.
(gdb) p global
$1 = 1098377287
(gdb) watch global
Selected thread is running.
This patch makes setting the watchpoint work. You'll now get:

The problem is that update_watchpoint calls get_selected_frame
unconditionally. We can skip it if the watchpoint expression is only
watching globals.
This adds a testcase that exercises both all-stop and non-stop, and
also software and hardware watchpoints. It is kfailed for software
watchpoints, as those require another fix not handled by this patch
(the sw watchpoint doesn't fire because GDB doesn't force the
running-free thread to switch to single-stepping).

Ah, the test wanted to run to a global "add" function, but managed to
stop at an internal Cygwin method called "add". And stopping there
deadlocks everything Cygwin in the system. (I believe some
cygwin1.dll mechanisms use cross-process synchronization or
communication, we're probably blocking something like that.)
Fix this by using "break -q". The tests FAIL because we don't support
follow-fork for Cygwin, but at least we no longer deadlock the

After my recent changes the data-directory build now uses
silent-rules.mk to reduce the output.
One problem that remains was the use of mkinstalldirs by stamp-python
and stamp-guile for creating some directories, the mkinstalldirs
prints some messages, so we're left with output like this:
GEN stamp-python
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/command
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/dap
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/function
mkdir -p -- ./python/gdb/printer
I was looking at adding a --silent option to the mkinstalldirs script,
however, when I took a look at the automake package (which is where
mkinstalldirs comes from) it turns out that mkinstalldirs is
deprecated, at the advice is to use 'install-sh -d' instead.
Just like we carry mkinstalldirs in the top-level directory, we also
carry install-sh, and a version of install-sh which supports the -d
flag.
And best of all, 'install-sh -d' doesn't appear to print any of the
information messages to stdout that mkinstalldirs does, so if we
switch to use that, we get a quieter build.
There should be no changes in what is built after this commit
