When building with gcc with -gdwarf-5 ld tests (including ld-elf/dwarf.exp)
fail because they try to read the .debug_ranges section. But DWARF5
introduces a new .debug_rnglists section that encodes the address ranges
more efficiently. Implement reading the debug_rnglists in bfd/dwarf2.c.
Which makes all tests pass again and fixes several gcc testsuite tests
when defaulting to DWARF5.

This commit causes Clang to invoke the system assembler to assemble
the relevant files.

Always reading 32 bits in order to extract addends from instruction
fields is wrong when the field size is smaller. It also leads to
reading past the end of the section. This patch tidies that by
reading the proper field size, which allows some later refetching of
addends to disappear.

Fix bug PR m2/26372, GDB's inability to parse multi-dimensional
modula-2 arrays.
We previously had two rules for handling the parsing of array
sub-scripts. I have reproduced them here with the actual handler
blocks removed to make the bug clearer:
exp : exp '[' non_empty_arglist ']'
;
exp : exp '[' exp ']'
;
non_empty_arglist
: exp
;
non_empty_arglist
: non_empty_arglist ',' exp
;
This is ambiguous as the pattern "exp '[' exp" could match either of
the 'exp' rules. Currently it just so happens that the parser picks
the second 'exp' rule which means we can only handle a single array
index.
As the handler code for the first 'exp' pattern will correctly handle
and number of array indexes then lets just remove the second pattern.

I noticed that when a test uses `runto_main` and a GDB internal error
happens while running to main, no error or fail is emitted. This is
because `runto_main` uses the `no-message` option of `runto`.
As a result, if a test fails to run to main and exits, no sign that
something went wrong is emitted. For example, add this always-false
assertion to compute_frame_id:
--- a/gdb/frame.c
+++ b/gdb/frame.c
@@ -545,6 +545,7 @@ static void
compute_frame_id (struct frame_info *fi)
{
gdb_assert (!fi->this_id.p);
+ gdb_assert (false);
if (frame_debug)
fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog, "{ compute_frame_id (fi=%d) ",
... and run gdb.dwarf2/dw2-align.exp. No fail or sign that something
went wrong is shown. It just appears as if the test gets skipped.
A developer introducing such a regression in this test today would
likely notice it, because we are used to diff-ing test results. So we
would see some PASSes dispappear for no good reason and look into it.
But I find it worrysome for two reasons:
1. Scripts that analyze regressions (such as the one on the buildbot)
may only look for new FAILs or new ERRORs. It would probably miss
this.
2. Imagine that we one day have a testsuite that runs cleanly (some
people might already run subsets of the testsuite and expect it to
all pass), we would just run the testsuite and check that there are
no fails. It would be easy to miss something like this.
In case of internal error, I suggest making `runto` emit a FAIL even if
`no-message` was passed. This is different from other failure modes
that might be expected (whchi rightfully cause the test to simply be
skipped). An internal error is always bad, so if it happens it should
noisily fail.

Introduce this macro to print debug statements in the infrun.c file,
same idea as what was done in 9327494e0e ("gdb: add
linux_nat_debug_printf macro").
Although in this case, there are places outside infrun.c that print
debug statements if debug_infrun is set. So the macro has to be
declared in the header file, so that it can be used in these other
files.
Note one special case. In stop_all_threads, I've used an explicit
if (debug_infrun)
infrun_debug_printf_1 ("stop_all_threads", "done");
for the message in the SCOPE_EXIT. Otherwise, the message appears like
this:
[infrun] operator(): done
Until we find a better solution for extracting a meaningful function
name for lambda functions, I think it's fine to handle these special
cases manually, they are quite rare.

ppc64 ld optimises sequences like the following
addis 3,13,wot@tprel@ha
lwz 3,wot@tprel@l(3)
to
nop
lwz 3,wot@tprel(13)
when "wot" is located near enough to the thread pointer.
However, the ABI doesn't require that R_PPC64_TPREL16_HA always be on
an addis rt,13,imm instruction, and while ld checked for that on the
high-part instruction it didn't disable the optimisation on the
low-part instruction. This patch fixes that problem, disabling the
tprel optimisation globally if high-part instructions don't pass
sanity checks. The optimisation is also enabled for ppc32, where
before ld.bfd had the code in the wrong place and ld.gold had it in a

I'm dealing these days with a class of bugs that involve trying to get a
certain frame's id while we are in the process of computing it. In other
words, compute_frame_id being called for a frame, eventually calling
get_frame_id for that same frame. I don't think this is ever supposed to
happen, as that creates a cyclic dependency.
Usually, these problems cause some failure down the line. I'm proposing with
this patch to catch them as early as possible, as soon as the situation
described above happens. I think that helps because the failed assertion will
be closer to the root of the problem.
To do so, the patch changes the frame_info::this_id::p flag from a boolean (is
the frame id computed or not) to a tri-state:
- the frame id is not computed
- the frame id is being computed
- the frame id is computed
Then, we can properly assert that get_frame_id doesn't get called for a frame
whose id is being computed.
To illustrate how that can help, let's imagine we apply the following change to
frame_unwind_got_optimized:
--- a/gdb/frame-unwind.c
+++ b/gdb/frame-unwind.c
@@ -260,8 +260,7 @@ frame_unwind_got_optimized (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum)
mark_value_bytes_optimized_out (val, 0, TYPE_LENGTH (type));

VALUE_REGNUM (val) = regnum;
- VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val)
- = get_frame_id (get_next_frame_sentinel_okay (frame));
+ VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) = get_frame_id (frame);
return val;
}
... and run the following command, which leads to a failed assertion (you need
to run the corresponding test to generate the binary first):
$ ./gdb -q -nx testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-undefined-ret-addr/dw2-undefined-ret-addr -ex "b stop_frame" -ex r
Without this patch applied, we catch the issue indirectly, when the top-level

It freaks out because the frame is already in the stash: it was added by an
inner call to get_frame_id, called indirectly by compute_frame_id. Debugging

Now, we can clearly see that get_frame_id for frame `fi=0x62100050dde0` gets
called while compute_frame_id is active for that frame. The backtrace is more
helpful to identify the root of the problem.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* frame.c (enum class frame_id_status): New.
(struct frame_info) <this_id::p>: Change type to frame_id_status.
(fprintf_frame): Update.
(compute_frame_id): Set frame id status to "computing" on entry.
Set it back to "not_computed" on failure and to "computed" on
success.
(get_frame_id): Assert the frame id is not being computed.
(create_sentinel_frame): Use frame_id_status::COMPUTED.
(create_new_frame): Likewise.
(frame_cleanup_after_sniffer): Update assert.

When trying to re-generate configure in sim/bfin, I get:
$ autoreconf -vf
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not running libtoolize: --install not given
autoreconf: running: /opt/autostuff/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:57: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_LIB
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /opt/autostuff/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
This happens since commit f693213d12 ("Run `autoreconf -vf` throughout").
The problem (not clear from the error message) is that the
PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro used in configure.ac is undefined. In the past, I
suppose that it relied on the person running autoconf having pkg.m4 (from
pkg-config) in their include path. That's not my case.
Since we recently added a local version of PKG_CHECK_MODULES to our tree,
we can just make sim/bfin/configure.ac use it. This patch makes
configure.ac include config/pkg.m4, and re-generates configure. With this,
the configure script appears to be generated correctly, I am able to
configure and build the bfin simulator.
Note: using sinclude to include the required m4 files makes no sense to
me. These files contain macros we need, if they are not defined then
the resulting file is unusable. And sinclude fails silently if the file
is not found. So, better use include/m4_include.
sim/bfin/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Include config/pkg.m4.
