The following commit added libopcodes styling for m68k:
commit c22ff44927
Date: Tue Feb 14 18:07:19 2023 +0100
opcodes: style m68k disassembler output
but didn't set disassemble_info::created_styled_output in
disassemble.c, which is needed in order for GDB to start using the
libopcodes based styling.
This commit fixes this small oversight. GDB now styles correctly.
I've long wanted to remove 'struct buffer', and thanks to Simon's
earlier patch, I was finally able to do so. My feeling has been that
gdb already has several decent structures available for growing
strings: std::string of course, but also obstack and even objalloc
from BFD and dyn-string from libiberty. The previous patches in this
series removed all the uses of struct buffer, so this one can remove
the code and the remaining #includes.
This changes top.c to use std::string rather than struct buffer. Like
the event-top.c change, this is not completely ideal in that it
requires a copy of the string.
This changes event-top.c to use std::string rather than struct buffer.
This isn't completely ideal, in that it requires a copy of the string
to be made.
The new DWARF cooked indexer interacts poorly with the DWARF index
cache. In particular, the cache will require gdb to wait for the
cooked index to be finalized. As this happens in the foreground, it
means that users with this setting enabled will see a slowdown.
This patch changes gdb to write the cache entry a worker thread. (As
usual, in the absence of threads, this work is simply done immediately
in the main thread.)
Some care is taken to ensure that this can't crash, and that gdb will
not exit before the task is complete.
To avoid use-after-free problems, the DWARF per-BFD object explicitly
waits for the index cache task to complete.
To avoid gdb exiting early, an exit observer is used to wait for all
such pending tasks.
In normal use, neither of these waits will be very visible. For users
using "-batch" to pre-generate the index, though, it would be.
However I don't think there is much to be done about this, as it was
the status quo ante.
The DWARF index does not need access to the objfile or per-objfile
objects when writing -- it's entirely based on the objfile-independent
per-BFD data.
This patch implements this idea by changing the entire API to only be
passed the per-BFD object. This simplifies some lifetime reasoning
for the next patch.
This patch removes some code that ensures that the BFD came from a
file. It seems to me that checking for the existence of a build-id is
good enough for the index cache.
On DOS systems, absolute paths start with the drive letter. This can
trigger failures in the regexp from dump tests, especially for those
checking for warnings or errors. They are usually skipping everything
before the first ":" as it has to be the file path.

In order to avoid modifying many regexps to allow such drive letters,
prune them from all the outputs if they are found at the beginning of
a line.

Several insns have a (typically shorter) non-ModR/M and a (typically
longer) ModR/M encoding. In most cases the former is used by default.
This isn't too dissimilar from register-only insns sometimes having two
encoding forms. In those cases {load} or {store} can be used to control
the encoding used. Extend this to ModR/M-less encodings which have a
ModR/M counterpart (note that BSWAP hasn't). For insn reading and
writing their (explicit) memory operand, both prefixes are honored;
otherwise only the applicable one is.
Note that for some forms of XCHG, {store} has already been performing
this function, apparently as an unnoticed side effect of adding D to
the template.
The feature isn't universally available on 64-bit CPUs.
Note that in i386-gen.c:isa_dependencies[] I'm only adding it to models
where I'm certain the functionality exists. For Nocona and Core I'm
uncertain in particular.
While MOV to/from segment register as well as selector storing insns
already permit 32- and 64-bit GPR operands, selector loading insns and
ARPL do not. Split templates accordingly.
For shifts (but not ordinary rotates) and other cases where an immediate
describes e.g. a bit count or position, allowing negative operands is at
best confusing. An extreme example would be the two rotate-through-carry
insns, where a negative value would _not_ mean rotating the
corresponding number of bits in the other direction. To refuse such,
give meaning to the combination of Imm8 and Imm8S in templates (so far
these weren't used together anywhere). The issue was with
smallest_imm_type() blindly setting .imm8 for signed numbers determined
to fit in a byte.
VPROT{B,W,D,Q} is a little special: The rotate count there is a signed
quantity, so Imm8 is replaced by Imm8S. Adjust affected testcases
accordingly as well.
Another small adjustment to the testsuite is necessary: AAM and AAD were
never sensible to use with 0xffffff90 operands. This should have been an
error.
In a recent commit I've added:
...
require {expr [have_compile_flag -fsplit-stack]}
...
but actually the expr bit is unnecessary, and we can just use:
...
require {have_compile_flag -fsplit-stack}
...

When we merged the GDB vector register support we did it a bit early,
just eating the risk in the very unlikely case that the vector register
names changed. They didn't, so we can now remove the caveat in the docs
that they might.
I noticed that the --disable-gdbmi option was broken for almost a year
(since 740b42ceb7 "gdb/python/mi: create MI commands using python").
The problem today is the python/py-cmd.c file. It is included in the
build if Python support is enabled, and it calls into some MI functions
(e.g. insert_mi_cmd_entry). If MI support is disabled, we get some
undefined symbols like:
mold: error: undefined symbol: insert_mi_cmd_entry(std::unique_ptr<mi_command, std::default_delete<mi_command> >)
>>> referenced by py-micmd.c
>>> python/py-micmd.o:(micmdpy_install_command(micmdpy_object*))
The python/py-cmd.c file should be included in the build if both Python
and MI support are enabled. It is not a case we support today, but it
could be done with a bit more configure code. However, I think we
should just remove the --disable-gdbmi option, and just include MI
support unconditionally.
Tom Tromey proposed a while ago to remove this option, but it ended
staying:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20180628172132.28843-1-tom@tromey.com/
However, there was no strong opposition to remove it. The argument was
just "bah, it doesn't hurt anybody".
But given today's case, I would rather remove complexity rather than add
some. I couldn't find anybody caring deeply for that option, and it's
not like MI adds any external dependency. It's just a bit more code.
Removing the option will not break anybody using --disable-gdbmi (it can
be found in many build scripts [1]), since we don't flag invalid
configure flags.
So, remove the option from configure.ac, and adjust Makefile.in
accordingly to always include the MI objects in the build.

The gdb_assert proc under-quotes the expression that is passed in.
This leads to weird code in a couple of spots that tries to
compensate:
gdb_assert {{$all_regs eq $completed_regs}} ...
The fix is to add a bit of quoting when evaluating the expression.
Commit 18b4d0736b ("gdb: initial support for ROCm platform (AMDGPU)

PR 30150
* dwarf2.c (comp_unit_contains_address): Renamed to ... (comp_unit_may_contain_address): this,
and added code to return true if the CU's ranges have not yet been computed.
(_bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line_with_alt): Use the renamed function, simplifying code in the process.
Instead of only testing this on systems that have a SYS_time syscall,
test it everywhere using the time(2) C function, and in addition, run
the tests again using the SYS_time syscall.
The C variant ensures that if some platform uses some syscall we are
not aware of yet, we'll still exercise it, and likely fail, at which
point we should teach GDB about the syscall.
The explicit syscall variant is useful on platforms where the C
function does not call a syscall at all by default, e.g., on some
systems the C time function wraps an implementation provided by the
vDSO.

Just like we suppress emitting REX.W for e.g. MOV from/to segment
register, there's also no need for it for LAR and LSL - these can only
ever return 32-bit values and hence always zero-extend their results
anyway.
While there also drop the redundant Word from the first operand of
the second template each - this is already implied by Reg16.
In 64-bit mode BT can have REX.W or a data size prefix dropped in
certain cases. Outside of 64-bit mode all 4 insns can have the data
size prefix dropped in certain cases.
Commit f9c36cc995 changed (and renamed) read_section_stabs with one
difference in overall behaviour. Previously read_section_stabs would
return a NULL for an empty section, which was then treated the same as
a missing section. Now an empty section is recognized and dumped.
This leads to NULL stabp and stabs_end in print_section_stabs. Since
stabs_end - STABSIZE is then a pointer to a very large address, the
test "stabp < stabs_end - STABSIZE" succeeds.
* objdump.c (print_section_stabs): Correct STABSIZE comparison.
A while back I discovered that this does not issue an error:
(gdb) p $x = (void * ) 57

This patch fixes the bug.
