Building on the previous commits, this commit goes through the various
gdbarch_register_name methods and removes all the remaining 'return
NULL' cases, I claim that these either couldn't be hit, or should be
returning the empty string.
In all cases the return of NULL was used if the register number being
passed to gdbarch_register_name was "invalid", i.e. negative, or
greater than the total number of declared registers. I don't believe
either of these cases can occur, and the previous commit asserts that
this is the case. As a result we can simplify the code by removing
these checks. In many cases, where the register names are held in an
array, I was able to add a static assert that the array contains the
correct number of strings, after that, a direct access into the array
is fine.
I don't have any means of testing these changes.
Building on the previous commits, in this commit I remove two
instances of 'return NULL' from csky_pseudo_register_name, and replace
them with a return of the empty string.
These two are particularly interesting, and worth pulling into their
own commit, because these returns of NULL appear to be depended on
within other parts of the csky code.
In csky-linux-tdep.c in the register collect/supply code, GDB checks
for the register name being nullptr in order to decide if a target
supports a particular feature or not. I've updated the code to check
for the empty string.
I have no way of testing this change.
This commit adds asserts to gdbarch_register_name that validate the
parameters, and the return value.
The interesting thing here is that gdbarch_register_name is generated
by gdbarch.py, and so, to add these asserts, I need to update the
generation script.
I've added two new arguments for Functions and Methods (as declared in
gdbarch-components.py), these arguments are 'param_checks' and
'result_checks'. Each of these new arguments can be used to list some
expressions that are then used within gdb_assert calls in the
generated code.
The asserts that validate the API as described in the comment I added
to gdbarch_register_name a few commits back; the register number
passed in needs to be a valid cooked register number, and the result
being returned should not be nullptr.
Building on the previous commit, this commit extends the register_name
selftest to check for duplicate register names.
If two registers in the cooked register set (real + pseudo registers)
have the same name, then this will show up as duplicate registers in
the 'info all-registers' output, but the user will only be able to
interact with one copy of the register.
In this commit I extend the selftest that I added in the previous
commit to check for duplicate register names, I didn't include this
functionality in the previous commit because one architecture needed
fixing, and I wanted to keep those fixes separate from the fixes in
the previous commit.
The problematic architecture(s) are powerpc:750 and powerpc:604. In
both of these cases the 'dabr' register appears twice, there's a
definition of dabr in power-oea.xml which is included into both
powerpc-604.xml and powerpc-750.xml. Both of these later two xml
files also define the dabr register.
I'm hopeful that this change shouldn't break anything, but I don't
have the ability to actually test this change, however:
On the gdbserver side, neither powerpc-604.xml nor powerpc-750.xml are
mentioned in gdbserver/configure.srv, which I think means that
gdbserver will never use these descriptions, and,
Within GDB the problematic descriptions are held in the variables
tdesc_powerpc_604 and tdesc_powerpc_750, which are only mentioned in
the variants array in rs6000-tdep.c, this is used when looking up a
description based on the architecture.
For a native Linux target however, this will not be used as
ppc_linux_nat_target::read_description exists, which calls
ppc_linux_match_description, which I don't believe can return either
of the problematic descriptions.
This leaves the other native targets, FreeBSD, AIX, etc. These don't
appear to override the ::read_description method, so will potentially
return the problematic descriptions, but, in each case I think the
::fetch_registers and ::store_registers methods will ignore the dabr
register, which will leave the register as <unavailable>.
So, my proposed solution is to just remove the duplicate register from
each of powerpc-604.xml and powerpc-750.xml, then regenerate the
corresponding C++ source file. With this change made, the selftest
now passes for all architectures.
This commit adds a self-test that checks that gdbarch_register_name
never returns nullptr for any valid register number.
Most architectures already met this requirement, there were just 6
that failed the new selftest, and are updated in this commit.
Beyond the self-tests I don't have any facilities to test that the
architectures I've adjusted still work correctly.
If you review all the various gdbarch_register_name implementations
then you will see that there are far more architectures that seem like
they might return nullptr in some situations, e.g. alpha, avr, bpf,
etc. This commit doesn't attempt to address these cases as non of
them are hit during the selftest. Many of these cases can never be
hit, for example, in alpha_register_name GDB checks for a register
number less than zero, this case can't happen and could be changed
into an assert.
A later commit in this series will have a general cleanup of all the
various register_name methods, and remove all references to NULL from
their code, however, as that commit will be mostly adjusting code that
is never hit, I want to keep those changes separate.
The selftest has been tested on x86-64, but I don't have access to
suitable systems to fully test any of the *-tdep.c code I've changed
in this commit.
After the previous commit, this commit sets out to formalise the API
for gdbarch_register_name. Not every architecture is actually in
compliance with the API I set out here, but I believe that most are.
I think architectures that don't comply with the API laid out here
will fail the gdb.base/completion.exp test.
The claims in the comment are I feel, best demonstrated with the
asserts in this code:
const char *
gdbarch_register_name (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, int regnr)
{
gdb_assert (regnr >= 0);
gdb_assert (regnr < gdbarch_num_cooked_regs (gdbarch));
const char *name = gdbarch->register_name (gdbarch, regnr);
gdb_assert (name != nullptr);
return name;
}
Like I said, I don't believe every architecture follows these rules
right now, which is why I'm not actually adding any asserts. Instead,
this commit adds a comment to gdbarch_register_name, this comment is
where I'd like to get to, rather than where we are right now.
Subsequent commits will fix all targets to be in compliance with this
comment, and will even add the asserts shown above to
gdbarch_register_name.
I noticed a test failure in gdb.base/completion.exp for RISC-V on
a native Linux target, this is the failure:
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: complete 'info registers '
The problem is caused by a mismatch in the output of 'maint print
registers' and the completion list for 'info registers'. The 'info
registers' completion list contains less registers than
expected. Additionally, the list of registers extracted from the
'maint print registers' list was wrong too, in some cases the test was
grabbing the register number, rather than a register name,
Both of these problems have the same root cause, riscv_register_name
returns nullptr for some registers when it should return an empty
string.
The gdbarch_register_name API is not clearly documented anywhere, and
at first glance it would appear that the function can return either
nullptr, or an empty string to indicate that a register is not
available on the current target. Indeed, there are plenty of places
in GDB where we compare the output of gdbarch_register_name to both
nullptr and '\0' in order to see if a register is supported or not,
and there are plenty of targets that return empty string in some
cases, and nullptr in others.
However, the 'info registers' completion code (reg_or_group_completer)
clearly depends on user_reg_map_regnum_to_name only returning nullptr
when the passed in regnum is greater than the maximum possible
register number (i.e. after all physical registers, pseudo-registers,
and user-registers), this means that gdbarch_register_name should not
be returning nullptr.
I did consider "fixing" user_reg_map_regnum_to_name, if
gdbarch_register_name returns nullptr, I could convert to an empty
string at this point, but that felt like a real hack, so I discarded
that plan.
The next possibility I considered was "fixing" reg_or_group_completer
to not rely on nullptr to indicate the end marker. Or rather, I could
have reg_or_group_completer use gdbarch_num_cooked_regs, we know that
we should check at least that many register numbers. Then, once we're
passed that limit, we keep checking until we hit a nullptr. This
would absolutely work, and didn't actually feel that bad, but, it
still felt a little weird that gdbarch_register_name could return
nullptr OR the empty string to mean the same thing, so I wondered if
the "right" solution was to have gdbarch_register_name not return
nullptr. With this in mind I tried an experiment:
I added a self-test that, for each architecture, calls
gdbarch_register_name for every register number up to the
gdbarch_num_cooked_regs limit, and checks that the name is not
nullptr.
Only a handful of architectures failed this test, RISC-V being one of
them.
This seems to suggest that most architectures agree that the correct
API for gdbarch_register_name is to return an empty string for
registers that are not supported on the current target, and that
returning nullptr is really a mistake.
In this commit I will update the RISC-V target so that GDB no longer
returns nullptr from riscv_register_name, instead we return the empty
string.
In subsequent commits I will add the selftest that I mention above,
and will fix the targets that fail the selftest.
With this change the gdb.base/completion.exp test now passes.
I noticed a test failure in gdb.base/completion.exp for RISC-V on a
native Linux target. Upon investigation I discovered a couple of
reasons for the failure, this commit addresses one of them. A later
commit will address the other issue.
The completion.exp test makes use of the capture_command_output proc
to collect the output of the 'maint print registers' command. For
RISC-V this command produces a lot of output.
Currently the capture_command_output proc tries to collect the
complete command output in a single expect buffer, and what I see is
an error caused by the expect buffer becoming full.
This commit rewrites capture_command_output to make use of
gdb_test_multiple to collect the command output line at a time, in
this way we avoid overflowing the expect buffer.
The capture_command_output proc has some logic for skipping a prefix
pattern, which is passed in to the proc as an argument. In order to
handle this correctly (only matching the prefix at the start of the
command output), I use two gdb_test_multiple calls, the first spots
and discards the echoed command and the (optional) prefix pattern, the
second gdb_test_multiple call then collects the rest of the command
output line at a time until a prompt is seen.
There is one slight oddity with the current implementation, which I
have changed in my rewrite, this does, slightly, change the behaviour
of the proc.
The current implementation uses this pattern:
-re "[string_to_regexp ${command}]\[\r\n\]+${prefix}(.*)\[\r\n\]+$gdb_prompt $"
Now a typical command output will look like this:
output here\r\n
(gdb)
As the TCL regexp matching is greedy, TCL will try to match as much as
possible in one part of the pattern before moving on to the next.
Thus, when this matches against (.*)[\r\n]+, the (.*) will end up
matching against 'output here\r' and the [\r\n]+ will match '\n' only.
In short the previous implementation would leave the '\r' on the end
of the returned text, but not the final trailing '\n'.
Now clearly I could make a new version of capture_command_output that
maintained this behaviour, but I couldn't see any reason to do this.
So, my new implementation drops the final '\r\n' completely, in our
example above we now return 'output here' with no '\r'.
This change doesn't seem to affect any of the existing tests, but I
thought it was worth mentioning.
Now that the disassembler has two different strategies for laying out
the opcode bytes of an instruction (see /r vs /b for the disassemble
command), I wanted to add support for this to the MI disassemble
command.
Currently the -data-disassemble command takes a single 'mode' value,
which currently has 6 different values (0 -> 5), 3 of these modes
relate to opcode display.
So, clearly I should just add an additional 3 modes to handle the new
opcode format, right?
No, I didn't think that was a great idea either.
So, I wonder, could I adjust the -data-disassemble command in a
backward compatible way, that would allow GDB to move away from using
the mode value altogether?
I think we can.
In this commit, I propose adding two new options to -data-disassemble,
these are:
--opcodes none|bytes|display
--source
Additionally, I will make the mode optional, and default to mode 0 if
no mode value is given. Mode 0 is the simplest, no source code, no
opcodes disassembly mode.
The two new options are only valid for mode 0, if they are used with
any other mode then an error is thrown.
The --opcodes option can add opcodes to the result, with 'bytes' being
equivalent to 'disassemble /b' and 'display' being 'disassemble /r'.
The --source option will enable the /s style source code display, this
is equivalent to modes 4 and 5. There is no way, using the new
command options to get the now deprecated /m style source code
display, that is mode 1 and 3.
My hope is that new users of the MI will not use the mode at all, and
instead will just use the new options to achieve the output they need.
Existing MI users can continue to use the mode, and will not need to
be updated to use the new options.
The argument documentation for -data-disassemble looks like this:
-data-disassemble
[ -s @var{start-addr} -e @var{end-addr} ]
| [ -a @var{addr} ]
| [ -f @var{filename} -l @var{linenum} [ -n @var{lines} ] ]
-- @var{mode}
However, I believe, according to the 'Notation and Terminology'
section, this means that the there are 3 optional location
specification argument groups for the command, followed by a
non-optional '-- mode'.
However, this is not true, one of the location specifications must be
given, i.e. we can't choose to give NO location specification, which
is what the above implies.
I propose that we change this to instead be:
-data-disassemble
( -s @var{start-addr} -e @var{end-addr}
| -a @var{addr}
| -f @var{filename} -l @var{linenum} [ -n @var{lines} ] )
-- @var{mode}
By placing all the location specifications within '( ... )' we
indication that these are a group, from which one of the options,
separated by '|', must be selected.
However, the 'Notation and Terminology' section only describes two
uses for parenthesis: '( GROUP )*' and '( GROUP )+', in the first case
GROUP is repeated zero or more times, and in the second GROUP is
repeated 1 or more times.
Neither of those exactly describe what I want, which is GROUP must
appear exactly once. I propose to extend 'Notation and Terminology'
to include '( GROUP )' which means that GROUP should appear exactly
once.
This change is important because, in a later commit, I want to add
additional optional arguments to the -data-disassemble command, and
things start to get confusing with the original syntax.
In a later commit I want to use operator~ on a gdb_disassembly_flag
flag value. This is currently not possible as gdb_disassembly_flag
is, by default, signed.
This commit just makes this enum unsigned.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
This commit changes the format of 'disassemble /r' to match GNU
objdump. Specifically, GDB will now display the instruction bytes in
as 'objdump --wide --disassemble' does.
Here is an example for RISC-V before this patch:
(gdb) disassemble /r 0x0001018e,0x0001019e
Dump of assembler code from 0x1018e to 0x1019e:
0x0001018e <call_me+66>: 03 26 84 fe lw a2,-24(s0)
0x00010192 <call_me+70>: 83 25 c4 fe lw a1,-20(s0)
0x00010196 <call_me+74>: 61 65 lui a0,0x18
0x00010198 <call_me+76>: 13 05 85 6a addi a0,a0,1704
0x0001019c <call_me+80>: f1 22 jal 0x10368 <printf>
End of assembler dump.
And here's an example after this patch:
(gdb) disassemble /r 0x0001018e,0x0001019e
Dump of assembler code from 0x1018e to 0x1019e:
0x0001018e <call_me+66>: fe842603 lw a2,-24(s0)
0x00010192 <call_me+70>: fec42583 lw a1,-20(s0)
0x00010196 <call_me+74>: 6561 lui a0,0x18
0x00010198 <call_me+76>: 6a850513 addi a0,a0,1704
0x0001019c <call_me+80>: 22f1 jal 0x10368 <printf>
End of assembler dump.
There are two differences here. First, the instruction bytes after
the patch are grouped based on the size of the instruction, and are
byte-swapped to little-endian order.
Second, after the patch, GDB now uses the bytes-per-line hint from
libopcodes to add whitespace padding after the opcode bytes, this
means that in most cases the instructions are nicely aligned.
It is still possible for a very long instruction to intrude into the
disassembled text space. The next example is x86-64, before the
patch:
(gdb) disassemble /r main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x0000000000401106 <+0>: 55 push %rbp
0x0000000000401107 <+1>: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
0x000000000040110a <+4>: c7 87 d8 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 movl $0x1,0xd8(%rdi)
0x0000000000401114 <+14>: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax
0x0000000000401119 <+19>: 5d pop %rbp
0x000000000040111a <+20>: c3 ret
End of assembler dump.
And after the patch:
(gdb) disassemble /r main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x0000000000401106 <+0>: 55 push %rbp
0x0000000000401107 <+1>: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
0x000000000040110a <+4>: c7 87 d8 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 movl $0x1,0xd8(%rdi)
0x0000000000401114 <+14>: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax
0x0000000000401119 <+19>: 5d pop %rbp
0x000000000040111a <+20>: c3 ret
End of assembler dump.
Most instructions are aligned, except for the very long instruction.
Notice too that for x86-64 libopcodes doesn't request that GDB group
the instruction bytes. This matches the behaviour of objdump.
In case the user really wants the old behaviour, I have added a new
modifier 'disassemble /b', this displays the instruction byte at a
time. For x86-64, which never groups instruction bytes, /b and /r are
equivalent, but for RISC-V, using /b gets the old layout back (except
that the whitespace for alignment is still present). Consider our
original RISC-V example, this time using /b:
(gdb) disassemble /b 0x0001018e,0x0001019e
Dump of assembler code from 0x1018e to 0x1019e:
0x0001018e <call_me+66>: 03 26 84 fe lw a2,-24(s0)
0x00010192 <call_me+70>: 83 25 c4 fe lw a1,-20(s0)
0x00010196 <call_me+74>: 61 65 lui a0,0x18
0x00010198 <call_me+76>: 13 05 85 6a addi a0,a0,1704
0x0001019c <call_me+80>: f1 22 jal 0x10368 <printf>
End of assembler dump.
Obviously, this patch is a potentially significant change to the
behaviour or /r. I could have added /b with the new behaviour and
left /r alone. However, personally, I feel the new behaviour is
significantly better than the old, hence, I made /r be what I consider
the "better" behaviour.
The reason I prefer the new behaviour is that, when I use /r, I almost
always want to manually decode the instruction for some reason, and
having the bytes displayed in "instruction order" rather than memory
order, just makes this easier.
The 'record instruction-history' command also takes a /r modifier, and
has been modified in the same way as disassemble; /r gets the new
behaviour, and /b has been added to retain the old behaviour.
Finally, the MI command -data-disassemble, is unchanged in behaviour,
this command now requests the raw bytes of the instruction, which is
equivalent to the /b modifier. This means that the MI output will
remain backward compatible.
This commit reduces the number of times we call read_code when
printing the instruction opcode bytes during disassembly.
I've added a new gdb::byte_vector within the
gdb_pretty_print_disassembler class, in line with all the other
buffers that gdb_pretty_print_disassembler needs. This byte_vector is
then resized as needed, and filled with a single read_code call for
each instruction.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Add another test for the output of MI command -data-disassemble. The
new check validates the format of the 'opcodes' field, specifically,
this test checks that the field contains a series of bytes, separated
by a single space.
We also check that the bytes are in the correct order, that is, the
first byte is from the lowest address, and subsequent bytes are from
increasing addresses.
The motivation for this test (besides more tests being generally good)
is that I plan to make changes to how opcode bytes are displayed in
the disassembler output, and I want to ensure that I don't break any
existing MI behaviour.
There should be no user visible changes to GDB after this commit.

Pre- and post-increment/decrement are side effects, the behavior of
which is undefined when combined with passing an address of the accessed
variable in the same function invocation. There's no need for the
increments here - simply adding 1 achieves the intended effect without
triggering compiler diagnostics (which are fatal with -Werror).
FENCE.TSO isn't an alias. ZIP and UNZIP in the long run likely are, but
presently they aren't. This fixes disassembly of these insns with
-Mno-aliases.
For disassembly to pick up aliases in favor of underlying insns (helping
readability in the common case), the aliases need to come ahead of the
"base" insns. Slightly more code movement is needed because of insns
with the same name needing to stay next to each other.
Note that the "rorw" alias entry also has the missing INSN_ALIAS added
here.
Clone a few testcases to exercise -Mno-aliases some more, better
covering the differences between the default and that disassembly mode.
With the command in the rule merely being "echo", i386-tbl.h won't be
rebuilt if missing, when at the same time i386-init.h is present and
up-to-date. Use a pattern rule instead to express the multiple targets
correctly (the &: rule separator is supported only by GNU make 4.3 and
newer). Note that now, for the opposite case to work (i386-tbl.h is
up-to-date but i386-init.h is missing), i386-init.h also needs
mentioning as a dependency somewhere: Add a fake dependency for
i386-opc.lo ("fake" because i386-opc.c doesn't include that header).
At the same time use $(AM_V_GEN) in the actual rule, replacing the
earlier (open-coded) "echo". And while there also drop a duplicate
dependency of i386-gen.o on i386-opc.h.
At the example of
extractps $0, %xmm0, %xmm0
insertps $0, %xmm0, %eax
(both having respectively the same mistake of using the wrong kind of
destination register) it is easy to see that current behavior is far
from ideal: The former results in "unsupported instruction" for 32-bit
code simply because the 2nd template we have is a Cpu64 one. Instead we
should aim at emitting the "best" possible error, which will typically
be the one where we passed the largest number of checks. Generalize the
original "specific_error" approach by making it apply to the entire
matching loop, utilizing that line numbers increase as we pass further
checks.
While in some cases deriving an AT&T-style suffix from an Intel syntax
memory operand size specifier is necessary, in many cases this is not
only pointless, but has led to the introduction of various workarounds:
Excessive use of IgnoreSize and NoRex64 as well as the ToDword and
ToQword attributes. Suppress suffix derivation when we can clearly tell
that the memory operand's size isn't going to be needed to infer the
possible need for the low byte/word opcode bit or an operand size prefix
(0x66 or REX.W).
As a result ToDword and ToQword can be dropped entirely, plus a fair
number of IgnoreSize and NoRex64 can also be got rid of. Note that
IgnoreSize needs to remain on legacy encoded SIMD insns with GPR
operand, to avoid emitting an operand size prefix in 16-bit mode. (Since
16-bit code using SIMD insns isn't well tested, clone an existing
testcase just enough to cover a few insns which are potentially
problematic but are being touched here.)
Note that while folding the VCVT{,T}S{S,D}2SI templates, VCVT{,T}SH2SI
isn't included there. This is to fulfill the request of not allowing L
and Q suffixes there, despite the inconsistency with VCVT{,T}S{S,D}2SI.

Fix this by making the line field optional in fun_re.

Currently, GNU Binutils does not support following privileged extensions:
- 'Smepmp'
- 'Svnapot'
- 'Svpbmt'
as they do not provide new CSRs or new instructions ('Smepmp' extends the
privileged architecture CSRs but does not define the CSR itself). However,
adding them might be useful as we no longer have to "filter" ISA strings
just for toolchains (if full ISA string is given by a vendor, we can
straightly use it).
And there's a fact that supports this theory: there's already an
(unprivileged) extension which does not provide CSRs or instructions (but
only an architectural guarantee): 'Zkt' (constant timing guarantee for
certain subset of RISC-V instructions).
This simple commit simply adds three privileged extensions listed above.
bfd/ChangeLog:
* elfxx-riscv.c (riscv_supported_std_s_ext): Add 'Smepmp',
'Svnapot' and 'Svpbmt' extensions.
Clang generates a warning if there is a variable that is set but not used
otherwise ("-Wunused-but-set-variable"). On the default configuration, it
causes a build failure (unless "--disable-werror" is specified).
The only extra_lines use in arrange_linetable function is removed on the
commit 558802e4d1
("gdb: change subfile::line_vector to an std::vector"). So, this variable
should be removed to prevent a build failure.
Since commit 52b920c5d2 ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp
for ppc64le"), the test-case fails with target board cc-with-debug-names, due
to missing .debug_aranges info.
Add the missing .debug_aranges info.
Also add a file_id option to Dwarf::assemble, to make it possible to contribute
to an already open file.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
Consider the test-case contained in this patch.
With g++ (7.5.0) we have for "ptype A":
...
type = class A {
public:
int a;
A(void);
~A();
}
...
and with clang++ (13.0.1):
...
type = class A {
public:
int a;
A(void);
~A(void);
}
...
and we observe that the destructor is printed differently.
There's a difference in debug info between the two cases: in the clang case,
there's one artificial parameter, but in the g++ case, there are two, and
these similar cases are handled differently in cp_type_print_method_args.
This is due to this slightly convoluted bit of code:
...
i = staticp ? 0 : 1;
if (nargs > i)
{
while (i < nargs)
...
}
else if (varargs)
gdb_printf (stream, "...");
else if (language == language_cplus)
gdb_printf (stream, "void");
...
The purpose of "i = staticp ? 0 : 1" is to skip the printing of the implicit
this parameter.
In commit 5f4d108508 ("c++/8218: Destructors w/arguments"), skipping of other
artificial parameters was added, but using a different method: rather than
adjusting the potential loop start, it skips the parameter in the loop.
The observed difference in printing is explained by whether we enter the loop:
- in the clang case, the loop is not entered and we print "void".
- in the gcc case, the loop is entered, and nothing is printed.
Fix this by rewriting the code to:
- always enter the loop
- handle whether arguments need printing in the loop
- keep track of how many arguments are printed, and
use that after the loop to print void etc.
such that we have the same for both gcc and clang:
...
A(void);
~A(void);
...
Note that I consider the discussion of whether we want to print:
- A(void) / ~A(void), or
- A() / ~A()
out-of-scope for this patch.

It is only used in auxv.c. Also, given it is not strictly a wrapper
around target_ops::auxv (since 27a48a9223 "Add auxv parsing to the
architecture vector."), I think that the name prefixed with target is a
bit misleading. Rename to just parse_auxv.

Constify the input parameters of the various auxv parse functions, they
don't need to modify the raw auxv data.

This patch changes various global target_desc declarations to const, thereby
correcting a prominent source of ODR violations in PowerPC-related target code.
The majority of files/changes are mechanical const-ifications accomplished by
regenerating the C files in features/.
This also required manually updating mips-linux-tdep.h, s390-linux-tdep.h,
nios2-tdep.h, s390-tdep.h, arch/ppc-linux-tdesc.h, arch/ppc-linux-common.c,
and rs6000-tdep.c.
Patch tested against the sourceware trybot, and fully regression tested against
our (Red Hat's) internal test infrastructure on Rawhide aarch64, s390x, x86_64,
and powerpcle.
With this patch, I can finally enable LTO in our GDB package builds. [Tested
with a rawhide scratch build containing this patch.]

This patch adds some missing .xml files to features/Makefile so that when the
directory's C files are regenerated, all files are appropriately remade.
This has demonstrated that there have been several "misses" in regenerating
files in this directory. Namely, arm-secext.c and sparc{32,64}-solaris.c. For
the former case, there was what essentially amounts to a typo regarding the
create feature function's name. In the later case, this file has missed at least
one important update in July, 2020, when allocate_target_description was
changed to return a unique pointer.
Those corrections are included.
GDB fails to build for me, on Ubuntu 20.04. I get:

Those undefined functions exist in gdb/gcore-elf.c, which is only

isn't ELF, which is incorrect.
For the ELF support check, gdb/config.log shows:

Note how above, in the gcc command line, "-lzstd" appears before
"-lbfd". That explain the link failure. It should appear after, like
-lz does.
This commit fixes it, by moving ZSTD_LIBS from LDFLAGS to LIBS, next
to -lz, in GDB_AC_CHECK_BFD, and regenerating gdb/configure.

A user noticed that gdb would assert when printing a certain array
with array-indexes enabled. This turned out to be caused by the array
having an index type of Character, which is completely valid in Ada.
This patch changes the Ada support to recognize Character as a
discrete type, and adds some tests.
Because this is Ada-specific and was also reviewed internally, I am
checking it in.
Binutils can be configured to avoid printing the execstack or RWD
segment warnings. In this case, the first test of PR ld/29072 will fail.
Fix that by always manually forcing the warnings for it.
ld/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp (PR ld/29072): Force execstack and
RWD segment warnings.
