Added this support in read_func_kind_type after gcc started generating
CTF for function arguments.
Replaced XNEW with std::vector and NULL with nullptr.
Expanded gdb.base/ctf-ptype.exp to test function arguments. Also fixed
some typos.

Use the current target description to include CSRs into the RISC-V
baremetal core dumps.
Every CSR declared in the current target description will be included
in the core dump.
It will be critical for users that they have the same target
description in use when loading the core file as was in use when
writing the core file. This should be fine if the user allows the
target description to be written into the core file.
In more detail, this commit adds a NT_RISCV_CSR note type. The
contents of this section is a series of either 4-byte (on RV32
targets), or 8-byte (on RV64 targets) values. Every CSR that is
mentioned in the current target description is written out in the
order the registers appear in the target description. As a
consequence it is critical that the exact same target description,
including the same register order, is in use when the CSRs are loaded
from the core file.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* riscv-none-tdep.c: Add 'user-regs.h' and 'target-description.h'
includes.
(riscv_csrset): New static global.
(riscv_update_csrmap): New function.

A later commit will need the names of the RISC-V target description
features in files other than riscv-tdep.c. This commit just makes the
names global strings that can be accessed from other riscv-*.c files.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

Adds support for including RISC-V control and status registers into
core files.
The value for the define NT_RISCV_CSR is set to 0x900, this
corresponds to a patch I have proposed for the Linux kernel here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-riscv/2020-December/003910.html
As I have not yet heard if the above patch will be accepted into the
kernel or not I have set the note name string to "GDB", and the note
type to NT_RISCV_CSR.
This means that if the above patch is rejected from the kernel, and
the note type number 0x900 is assigned to some other note type, we
will still be able to distinguish between the GDB produced
NT_RISCV_CSR, and the kernel produced notes, where the name would be
set to "CORE".

This commit adds the ability for bare metal RISC-V target to generate
core files from within GDB.
The intended use case is that a user will connect to a remote bare
metal target, debug up to some error condition, then generate a core
file in the normal way using:
(gdb) generate-core-file
This core file can then be used to revisit the state of the remote
target without having to reconnect to the remote target.
The core file creation code is split between two new files. In
elf-none-tdep.c is code for any architecture with the none
ABI (i.e. bare metal) when the BFD library is built with ELF support.
In riscv-none-tdep.c are the RISC-V specific parts. This is where the
regset and regcache_map_entry structures are defined that control how
registers are laid out in the core file. As this file could (in
theory at least) be used for a non-ELF bare metal RISC-V target, the
calls into elf-none-tdep.c are guarded with '#ifdef HAVE_ELF'.
Currently for RISC-V only the x-regs and f-regs (if present) are
written out. In future commits I plan to add support for writing out
the RISC-V CSRs.
The core dump format is based around generating an ELF containing
sections for the writable regions of memory that a user could be
using. Which regions are dumped rely on GDB's existing common core
dumping code, GDB will attempt to figure out the stack and heap as
well as copying out writable data sections as identified by the
original ELF.
Register information is added to the core dump using notes, just as it
is for Linux of FreeBSD core dumps. The note types used consist of
the 3 basic types you would expect in a OS based core dump,
NT_PRPSINFO, NT_PRSTATUS, NT_FPREGSET.
The layout of these notes differs slightly (due to field sizes)
between RV32 and RV64. Below I describe the data layout for each
note. In all cases, all padding fields should be set to zero.
Note NT_PRPSINFO is optional. Its data layout is:
struct prpsinfo32_t /* For RV32. */
{
uint8_t padding[32];
char fname[16];
char psargs[80];
}
struct prpsinfo64_t /* For RV64. */
{
uint8_t padding[40];
char fname[16];
char psargs[80];
}
Field 'fname' - null terminated string consisting of the basename of
(up to the fist 15 characters of) the executable. Any additional
space should be set to zero. If there's no executable name then
this field can be set to all zero.
Field 'psargs' - a null terminated string up to 80 characters in
length. Any additional space should be filled with zero. This
field contains the full executable path and any arguments passed
to the executable. If there's nothing sensible to write in this
field then fill it with zero.
Note NT_PRSTATUS is required, its data layout is:
struct prstatus32_t /* For RV32. */
{
uint8_t padding_1[12];
uint16_t sig;
uint8_t padding_2[10];
uint32_t thread_id;
uint8_t padding_3[44];
uint32_t x_regs[32];
uint8_t padding_4[4];
}
struct prstatus64_t /* For RV64. */
{
uint8_t padding_1[12];
uint16_t sig;
uint8_t padding_2[18];
uint32_t thread_id;
uint8_t padding_3[76];
uint64_t x_regs[32];
uint8_t padding_4[4];
}
Field 'sig' - the signal that stopped this thread. It's implementation
defined what this field actually means. Within GDB this will be
the signal number that the remote target reports as the stop
reason for this thread.
Field 'thread_is' - the thread id for this thread. It's implementation
defined what this field actually means. Within GDB this will be
thread thread-id that is assigned to each remote thread.
Field 'x_regs' - at index 0 we store the program counter, and at
indices 1 to 31 we store x-registers 1 to 31. x-register 0 is not
stored, its value is always zero anyway.
Note NT_FPREGSET is optional, its data layout is:
fpregset32_t /* For targets with 'F' extension. */
{
uint32_t f_regs[32];
uint32_t fcsr;
}
fpregset64_t /* For targets with 'D' extension . */
{
uint64_t f_regs[32];
uint32_t fcsr;
}
Field 'f_regs' - stores f-registers 0 to 31.
Field 'fcsr' - stores the fcsr CSR register, and is always 4-bytes.
The rules for ordering the notes is the same as for Linux. The
NT_PRSTATUS note must come before any other notes about additional
register sets. And for multi-threaded targets all registers for a
single thread should be grouped together. This is because only
NT_PRSTATUS includes a thread-id, all additional register notes after
a NT_PRSTATUS are assumed to belong to the same thread until a
different NT_PRSTATUS is seen.

When creating a core file GDB will call the function
elfcore_write_prstatus to write out the general purpose registers
along with the pid/tid for the thread (into a prstatus structure) and
the executable name and arguments (into a prpsinfo_t structure).
However, for a bare metal RISC-V tool chain the prstatus_t and
prpsinfo_t types are not defined so the elfcore_write_prstatus
function will return NULL, preventing core file creation.
This commit provides the `elf_backend_write_core_note' hook and uses
the provided function to write out the required information.
In order to keep changes in the non bare metal tools to a minimum, the
provided backend function will itself return NULL when the prstatus_t
or pspsinfo_t types are available, the consequence of this is that the
generic code in elfcore_write_prstatus will be used just as before.
But, when prstatus_t or prpsinfo_t is not available, the new backend
function will write out the information using predefined offsets.
This new functionality will be used by a later GDB commit that will
add bare metal core dumps for RISC-V.

When a core file is created from within GDB add the target description
into a note within the core file.
When loading a core file, if the target description note is present
then load the target description from the core file.
The benefit of this is that we can be sure that, when analysing the
core file within GDB, that we are using the exact same target
description as was in use at the time the core file was created.
GDB already supports a mechanism for figuring out the target
description from a given corefile; gdbarch_core_read_description.
This new mechanism (GDB adding the target description) is not going to
replace the old mechanism. Core files generated outside of GDB will
not include a target description, and so GDB still needs to be able to
figure out a target description for these files.
My primary motivation for adding this feature is that, in a future
commit, I will be adding support for bare metal core dumps on some
targets. For RISC-V specifically, I want to be able to dump all the
available control status registers. As different targets will present
different sets of register in their target description, including
registers that are possibly not otherwise known to GDB I wanted a way
to capture these registers in the core dump.
I therefore need a mechanism to write out an arbitrary set of
registers, and to then derive a target description from this arbitrary
set when later loading the core file. The obvious approach (I think)
is to just reuse the target description.
Once I'd decided to add support for writing out the target description
I could either choose to make this RISC-V only, or make it generic. I
figure that having the target description in the core file doesn't
hurt, and _might_ be helpful. So that's how I got here, general
support for including the target description in GDB generated core
files.
In previous versions of this patch I added the target description from
generic code (in gcore.c). However, doing this creates a dependency
between GDB's common code and bfd ELF support. As ELF support in gdb
is optional (for example the target x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0 does not
include ELF support) then having gcore.c require ELF support would
break the GDB build in some cases.
Instead, in this version of the patch, writing the target description
note is done from each specific targets make notes function. Each of
these now calls a common function in gcore-elf.c (which is only linked
in when bfd has ELF support). And so only targets that are ELF based
will call the new function and we can therefore avoid an unconditional
dependency on ELF support.

This commit lays the ground work for allowing GDB to write its target
description into a generated core file.
The goal of this work is to allow a user to connect to a remote
target, capture a core file from within GDB, then pass the executable
and core file to another user and have the user be able to examine the
state of the machine without needing to connect to a running target.
Different remote targets can have different register sets and this
information is communicated from the target to GDB in the target
description.
It is possible for a user to extract the target description from GDB
and pass this along with the core file so that when the core file is
used the target description can be fed back into GDB, however this is
not a great user experience.
It would be nicer, I think, if GDB could write the target description
directly into the core file, and then make use of this description
when loading a core file.
This commit performs the binutils/bfd side of this task, adding the
boiler plate functions to access the target description from within a
core file note, and reserving a new number for a note containing the
target description. Later commits will extend GDB to make use of
this.
The new note is given the name 'GDB' and a type NT_GDB_TDESC. This
should hopefully protect us if there's ever a reuse of the number
assigned to NT_GDB_TDESC by some other core file producer. It should
also, hopefully, make it clearer to users that this note carries GDB
specific information.

While reviewing the Linux and FreeBSD core dumping code within GDB for
another patch series, I noticed that the code that collects the
registers for each thread and writes these into ELF note format is
basically identical between Linux and FreeBSD.
This commit merges this code and moves it into a new file gcore-elf.c.
The function find_signalled_thread is moved from linux-tdep.c to
gcore.c despite not being shared. A later commit will make use of
this function.
I did merge, and then revert a previous version of this patch (commit
82a1fd3a49 for the original patch and 03642b7189 for the revert).
The problem with the original patch is that it introduced a
unconditional dependency between GDB and some ELF specific functions
in the BFD library, e.g. elfcore_write_prstatus and
elfcore_write_register_note. It was pointed out in this mailing list
post:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-February/175750.html
that this change was breaking any build of GDB for non-ELF targets.
To confirm this breakage, and to test this new version of GDB I
configured and built for the target x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0.
Where the previous version of this patch placed all of the common code
into gcore.c, which is included in all builds of GDB, this new patch
only places non-ELF specific generic code (i.e. find_signalled_thread)
into gcore.c, the ELF specific code is put into the new gcore-elf.c
file, which is only included in GDB if BFD has ELF support.
The contents of gcore-elf.c are referenced unconditionally from
linux-tdep.c and fbsd-tdep.c, this is fine, we previously always
assumed that these two targets required ELF support, and we continue
to make that assumption after this patch; nothing has changed there.
With my previous version of this patch the darwin target mentioned
above failed to build, but with the new version, the target builds
fine.
There are a couple of minor changes to the FreeBSD target after this
commit, but I believe that these are changes for the better:
(1) For FreeBSD we always used to record the thread-id in the core
file by using ptid_t.lwp (). In contrast the Linux code did this:
/* For remote targets the LWP may not be available, so use the TID. */
long lwp = ptid.lwp ();
if (lwp == 0)
lwp = ptid.tid ();
Both target now do this:
/* The LWP is often not available for bare metal target, in which case
use the tid instead. */
if (ptid.lwp_p ())
lwp = ptid.lwp ();
else
lwp = ptid.tid ();
Which is equivalent for Linux, but is a change for FreeBSD. I think
that all this means is that in some cases where GDB might have
previously recorded a thread-id of 0 for each thread, we might now get
something more useful.
(2) When collecting the registers for Linux we collected into a zero
initialised buffer. By contrast on FreeBSD the buffer is left
uninitialised. In the new code the buffer is always zero initialised.
I suspect once the registers are copied into the buffer there's
probably no gaps left so this makes no difference, but if it does then
using zeros rather than random bits of GDB's memory is probably a good
thing.
Otherwise, there should be no other user visible changes after this
commit.
Tested this on x86-64/GNU-Linux and x86-64/FreeBSD-12.2 with no
regressions.

bfd_perform_relocation should not have special case target code. This
patch moves the code that was there for x86_64 PE linking to ELF
output into the x86_64 PE howto special function, correcting that
function for linking to targets other than ELF too. The fixes in
bfd_perform_relocation were over-complicated due to needing to
compensate for things that had already gone wrong in coff_amd64_reloc.
In particular, an adjustment for pc-relative relocs was done in a way
that meant adjustment for things related to symbol offsets was lost.
I think those two things are orthogonal, but who knows with COFF where
addends and symbol values are found randomly in the section contents.
Note that linking natively to an x86_64 PE output relocates by
coff_pe_amd64_relocate_section, which does not use arelent relocs or
bfd_perform_relocation, but be aware of coff_amd64_rtype_to_howto
hacking addends for relocations. The adjustments for a particular
relocation type there and in coff_amd64_reloc ought to match after
taking into consideration CALC_ADDEND. They don't. For example,
the pc-relative adjustment for R_PCRWORD is 2 bytes in
coff_amd64_reloc and 4 bytes in coff_amd64_rtype_to_howto.

Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
The first failing commit is 5b6d1e4fa4 ("Multi-target support"). The cause
of the change in behavior is due to (thanks for Andrew Burgess for finding
this):
- inferior_ptid is no longer set on entry of target_ops::wait, whereas
it was set to something valid previously
- deep down in linux_nat_target::wait (see stack trace below), we fetch
the registers of the event thread
- on sparc64, fetching registers involves reading memory (in
sparc_supply_rwindow, see stack trace below)
- reading memory (target_ops::xfer_partial) relies on inferior_ptid
being set to the thread from which we want to read memory

There is a target_read_memory call in sparc_supply_rwindow, whose return
value is not checked. That call fails, because inferior_ptid does not
contain a valid ptid, and uninitialized buffer contents is used.
Ultimately it results in a corrupt stop_pc.
target_ops::fetch_registers can be (and should remain, in my opinion)
independent of inferior_ptid, because the ptid of the thread from which
to fetch registers can be obtained from the regcache. In other words,
implementations of target_ops::fetch_registers should not rely on
inferior_ptid having a sensible value on entry.
The sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers case is special, because it calls
a target method that is dependent on the inferior_ptid value
(target_read_inferior, and ultimately target_ops::xfer_partial). So I would
say it's the responsibility of sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers to set
up inferior_ptid correctly prior to calling target_read_inferior.
This patch makes sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers (and
store_registers, since it works the same) temporarily set inferior_ptid. If we
ever make target_ops::xfer_partial independent of inferior_ptid, setting
inferior_ptid won't be necessary, we'll simply pass down the ptid as a
parameter in some way.
I chose to set/restore inferior_ptid in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, because
I am not convinced that doing so in an inner location (in sparc_supply_rwindow
for instance) would always be correct. We have access to the ptid in
sparc_supply_rwindow (from the regcache), so we _could_ set inferior_ptid
there. However, I don't want to just set inferior_ptid, as that would make it
not desync'ed with `current_thread ()` and `current_inferior ()`. It's
preferable to use switch_to_thread instead, as that switches all the global
"current" stuff in a coherent way. But doing so requires a `thread_info *`,
and getting a `thread_info *` from a ptid requires a `process_stratum_target
*`. We could use `current_inferior()->process_target()` in
sparc_supply_rwindow for this (using target_read_memory uses the current
inferior's target stack anyway). However, sparc_supply_rwindow is also used in
the context of BSD uthreads, where a thread stratum target defines threads. I
presume the ptid in the regcache would be the ptid of the uthread, defined by
the thread stratum target (bsd_uthread_target). Using
`current_inferior()->process_target()` would look up a ptid defined by the
thread stratum target using the process stratum target. I don't think it would
give good results. So I prefer playing it safe and looking up the thread
earlier, in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers.
I added some assertions (in sparc_supply_rwindow and others) to verify
that the regcache's ptid matches inferior_ptid. That verifies that the
caller has properly set the correct global context. This would have
caught (though a failed assertion) the current problem.

Without setting an image base address and without naming at least .text,
this test produces entirely bogus PE output. To be honest, even the ELF
output looks odd: .text gets placed at 0x10204, and both foo and bar get
associated with .text despite living below its start address.
Since neither image base nor .text placement are the subject of this
test, specify .text placement explicitly and in the PE case force the
image base to zero.
It is my understanding that IMAGE_SCN_LNK_* are supposed to communicate
information to the (static) linker, and become at best meaningless in PE
images. I wouldn't call loaders wrong which would refuse to process
sections with any of these bits set. While there's no replacement for
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_COMDAT, use IMAGE_SCN_MEM_DISCARDABLE in place of
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE in this case.
It is the very nature of absolute symbols that they don't change even
if the loader decides to put the image at other than its link-time base
address. Of the linker-defined (and PE-specific) symbols __image_base__
(and its alias) needs special casing, as it'll still appear to be
absolute at this point.
A new inquiry function in ldexp.c is needed because PE base relocations
get generated before ldexp_finalize_syms() runs, yet whether a
relocation is needed depends on the ultimate property of a symbol.

Having this count explicitly in the table is redundant and (even if just
slightly) disturbs clarity. Infer the count from the number of operands
actually found.
Also convert the "no operands" indicator from "{ 0 }" to just "{}", as
that (now) ends up being easier to parse.
In gdb.btrace/rn-dl-bind.exp we test that we can reverse-step over
recorded dynamic linking. The test covers specific behaviour to support
_dl_runtime_resolve calling the resolved function by returning to it.
This would normally mess up stepping as we'd end up with backtraces that
contain the same functions but different frame ids.
Since GDB needs to recognize a return from _dl_runtime_resolve, the test
only passes when debug information for _dl_runtime_resolve is available.
The test requires that symbols are bound lazily. Otherwise, we won't
record dynamic linking and the test will be fairly pointless.
Recent GCC pass -z now by default to bind symbols eagerly. Add -z lazy to
the test's ldflags to enforce lazy binding.
In gdb.btrace/non-stop.exp, we hard-code expected source lines assuming we
know how they would match to the recorded trace. Despite the fact that we
should really have been using an assembly source, the assumptions work
pretty well.
With clang-6 -m32, we found a case where the assumptions do not hold.
Adjust the expected source lines a little bit to cover that case, as well.
Should we run into more cases like this, we will have to switch to an
assembly source file.
We use pre-compiled assembly including debug information for stepi, yet we
compiled with -g, which was implicitly set by prepare_for_testing.
Add {} options to avoid the implicit {debug}.
Clang generates slightly different debug information. Adjust the expected
output of gdb.btrace/function_call_history.exp to work with both gcc and
clang.
Also modify gdb.btrace/exception.cc to reliably trace into main and update
the corresponding patterns in gdb.btrace/exception.exp.
In gdb.btrace/unknown_functions.exp we need the linker to discard local
symbols so GDB wouldn't know about them from the symbol table.
When building with clang, it complains about the option not being used at
compile-time. Move the option to ldflags to only pass it at link-time.
Clang generates slightly different debug information causing
gdb.btrace/rn-dl-bind.exp to fail on its way to the actual test.
Modify the test to remove that dependency.
In gdb.btrace/delta.exp, we test that we do not extend the trace
unintentionally. This can be tested by checking the number of
instructions.
If we wanted to check the instruction history, as well, we'd need to work
on an assembly file to have deterministic behaviour. This isn't really
necessary for this test, however, and covered elsewhere. Also remove the
function call history check for the same reason.
Some older GCC, e.g. 7.5.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 need -fno-pie to be passed to
the compiler in addition to -no-pie to be passed to the linker for non-pie
code generation.
The gdb,nopie_flag is already documented as getting passed to the
compiler, not the linker. Use that for the new -fno-pie compiler flag and
add a new gdb,nopie_ldflag for the existing -no-pie linker flag.
CAUTION: this might break existing board files that specify
gdb,nopie_flag. Affected board files need to rename
gdb,nopie_flag into gdb,nopie_ldflag.
The testcases added here show situations where synthesized start/stop
symbols don't cause their associated input sections to be marked.

gdb currently supports two different styles of fixed-point. The
original style, where fixed point types are "GNAT encoded", is handled
primarily in the Ada code. The newer style, encoded using DWARF, is
handled by the core of gdb.
This patch changes gdb to read the GNAT encodings in the DWARF reader
as well. This removes some code and unifies the two paths. As a
result, GNAT-encoded fixed-point now works a bit better.
One possible drawback of this change is that, if someone uses stabs,
then fixed-point might now stop working. I consider stabs to be fully
obsolete, though, so I don't intend to address this.

Most places in gdb that reference objfile->sf also check that it is
not null. It is valid for it to be null, because find_sym_fns can
return null for some kinds of object file. However, it's rare to
encounter this scenario with Ada code. I only encountered it when
looking at a fork of gdb that, I believe, makes its own objfiles
without setting 'sf'.
This patch changes ada-lang.c to check this field before using it.
This avoids any potential crash here. There's no test case because
I'm not even sure this is possible to trip over with an unmodified
gdb.
There are some other unchecked uses in gdb, but at a quick glance they
all seem to be involved with symbol reading, which of course won't
happen when sf==null.

* ada-lang.c (add_nonlocal_symbols): Handle case where objfile->sf
is null.
This is a tricky one. BFD, on the linker's behalf, reports symbols to
libctf via the ctf_new_symbol and ctf_new_dynsym callbacks, which
ultimately call ctf_link_add_linker_symbol. But while this happens
after strtab offsets are finalized, it happens before the .dynstr is
actually laid out, so we can't iterate over it at this stage and
it is not clear what the reported symbols are actually called. So
a second callback, examine_strtab, is called after the .dynstr is
finalized, which calls ctf_link_add_strtab and ultimately leads
to ldelf_ctf_strtab_iter_cb being called back repeatedly until the
offsets of every string in the .dynstr is passed to libctf.
libctf can then use this to get symbol names out of the input (which
usually stores symbol types in the form of a name -> type mapping at
this stage) and extract the types of those symbols, feeding them back
into their final form as a 1:1 association with the real symtab's
STT_OBJ and STT_FUNC symbols (with a few skipped, see
ctf_symtab_skippable).
This representation is compact, but has one problem: if libctf somehow
gets confused about the st_type of a symbol, it'll stick an entry into
the function symtypetab when it should put it into the object
symtypetab, or vice versa, and *every symbol from that one on* will have
the wrong CTF type because it's actually looking up the type for a
different symbol.
And we have just such a bug. ctf_link_add_strtab was not taking the
refcounts of strings into consideration, so even strings that had been
eliminated from the strtab by virtue of being in objects eliminated via
--as-needed etc were being reported. This is harmful because it can
lead to multiple strings with the same apparent offset, and if the last
duplicate to be reported relates to an eliminated symbol, we look up the
wrong symbol from the input and gets its type wrong: if it's unlucky and
the eliminated symbol is also of the wrong st_type, we will end up with
a corrupted symtypetab.
Thankfully the wrong-st_type case is already diagnosed by a
this-can-never-happen paranoid warning:
CTF warning: Symbol 61a added to CTF as a function but is of type 1
or the converse
* CTF warning: Symbol a3 added to CTF as a data object but is of type 2
so at least we can tell when the corruption has spread to more than one
symbol's type.
Skipping zero-refcounted strings is easy: teach _bfd_elf_strtab_str to
skip them, and ldelf_ctf_strtab_iter_cb to loop over skipped strings
until it falls off the end or finds one that isn't skipped.

* ctf-create.c (symtypetab_density): Report the symbol name as
well as index in the name != object error; note the likely
consequences.
* ctf-link.c (ctf_link_shuffle_syms): Report the symbol index
as well as name.
In the "no symbols" case (commonplace for executables), we were freeing
the ctf_dynsyms using free(), instead of ctf_dynhash_destroy(), leaking
a little memory.
(This is harmless in the common case of ld usage, but libctf might be
used by persistent processes too.)

* ctf-link.c (ctf_link_shuffle_syms): Free ctf_dynsyms properly.
Comparing an encoding's cte_bits to a ctf_type_size needs a cast:
one is a uint32_t and the other is an ssize_t.
