When linker defines a symbol to override a dynamic definition, it should
always clear h->verinfo.verdef so that the symbol won't be associated
with the version information from the dynamic object. This happened to
the symbol "_edata" when creating an unversioned dynamic object linking
against:
1. libKF5ConfigCore.so.5.49.0
2. libKF5CoreAddons.so.5.49.0
3. libKF5I18n.so.5.49.0
4. libKF5DBusAddons.so.5.49.0
5. libQt5Xml.so.5.11.1
6. libQt5DBus.so.5.11.1
7. libQt5Core.so.5.11.1
Among them
libQt5Xml.so.5.11.1
299: 000000000003e000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 _edata@@Qt_5
libQt5DBus.so.5.11.1
597: 0000000000092018 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 18 _edata@@Qt_5
libQt5Core.so.5.11.1
2292: 00000000004df640 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 _edata@Qt_5
2293: 00000000004df640 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 _edata@Qt_5
The problem is triggered by 2 duplicated entries of _edata@Qt_5 in
libQt5Core.so.5.11.1 which was created by gold. Before this commit,
ld created the dynamic object with "_edata" in its dynamic symbol table
which was linker defined and associated with the version information
from libQt5Core.so.5.11.1. The code in question was there when the
binutils source was imported to sourceware.org. When such a dynamic
object was used later, we got:
/usr/bin/ld: bin/libKF5Service.so.5.49.0: _edata: invalid version 21 (max 0)
/usr/bin/ld: bin/libKF5Service.so.5.49.0: error adding symbols: bad value
Tested with many ELF targets.

This patch changes structs compile_instance and compile_c_instance into
classes.
Because of the nature of the change, there are a number of unavoidably
mechanical changes buried in here, such as turning variable access of the
POD struct into method calls, removing the struct keyword, and changing
access of the plugin from "c_plugin->operation()" to
"plugin ().operation ()".
There is one "non-trivial" change associated with this patch, though.
The type cache and symbol error maps have been moved into the base class,
believing these facilities would be used other language implementations.

This patch introduces a new class which wraps the GCC C compile plug-in.
It is a little unfortunate that this all happened in between the time that
GCC moved to C++ and GDB moved to C++, leaving us with an ABI promise to
support a C-like interface. The hope is to isolate GDB from some of this
should it change in the future.
Broadly, what this does is replace calls like:
C_CTX (context)->c_ops->operation (C_CTX (context), ...);
with calls that now look like:
context->c_plugin->operation (...);
This API will be further refined in following patches when struct
compile_instance/compile_c_instance are changed into classes.

If a vla is not in memory, and the upper bound is not defined, then we
can't know that an array element exists or not, and we should not try
to access the array element. One case where this happens is for
arrays that have been optimised out, the array will then have
VALUE_LVAL of not_lval, and an undefined upper bound, if we then try
to access an element of this array we will index into random GDB
memory.
An argument could be made that even for arrays that are in inferior
memory, if the upper bound is not defined then we should not try to
access the array element, however, in some of the Fortran tests, it
seems as though we do rely indexing from a base address into an array
which has no bounds defined. In this case GDBs standard protection
for detecting unreadable target memory prevents bad thing happening.

This patch adds a few comments to include/elf/arm.h to clarify which

deprecated definitions remaining in the long term.

This adds software single step support that is needed by the linux native port.
This is modeled after equivalent code in the MIPS port.
This also fixes a few bugs in the compressed instruction decode support. Some
instructions are RV32/RV64 specific, and this wasn't being checked. Also, a
few instructions were accidentally using the non-compressed is_* function.
This has been tested on a HiFive Unleashed running Fedora, by putting a
breakpoint on start, typing stepi, and then holding down the return key until
it finishes, and observing that I see everything I expect to see along the way.
There is a problem in _dl_addr where I get into an infinite loop, but it seems
to be some synchronization code that doesn't agree with single step, so I have
to find the end of the loop, put a breakpoint there, continue, and then single
step again until the end.

Without the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED property, all ISAs may be used.

it neither. This patch removes the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED

New in v3:
- Remove things related to the dwarf-5 format.
- Fix compilation on mingw (scoped_mmap.c).
GDB can generate indexes for DWARF debug information, which, when
integrated in the original binary, can speed up loading object files.
This can be done using the gdb-add-index script or directly by the
linker itself. However, not many people know about this. And even
among those who do, because it requires additional steps, I don't know a
lot of people who actually go through that trouble.
To help make using the DWARF index more transparent, this patch
introduces a DWARF index cache. When enabled, loading an index-less
binary in GDB will automatically save an index file in ~/.cache/gdb.
When loading that same object file again, the index file will be looked
up and used to load the DWARF index. You therefore get the benefit of
the DWARF index without having to do additional manual steps or
modifying your build system. When an index section is already present
in the file, GDB will prefer that one over looking up the cache.
When doing my edit-compile-debug cycle, I often debug multiple times the
same build, so the cache helps reducing the load time of the debug
sessions after the first one.
- The saved index file is exactly the same as the output of the "save
gdb-index" command. It is therefore the exact same content that would
be found in the .gdb_index or .debug_names section. We just leave it
as a standalone file instead of merging it in the binary.
- The cache is just a directory with files named after the object
file's build-id. It is not possible to save/load the index for an
object file without build-id in the cache.
- The cache uses the gdb index format. The problem with the dwarf-5
format is that we can generate an addendum to the .debug_str section
that you're supposed to integrate to the original binary. This
complicates a little bit loading the data from the cached index files,
so I would leave this for later.
- The size taken up by ~/.cache/gdb is not limited. I was thinking we
could add configurable limit (like ccache does), but that would come
after. Also, maybe a command to flush the cache.
- The cache is disabled by default. I think once it's been out there
and tested for a while, it could be turned on by default, so that
everybody can enjoy it.
- The code was made to follow the XDG specification: if the
XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable, it is used, otherwise it falls
back to ~/.cache/gdb. It is possible to change it using "set
index-cache directory". On other OSes than GNU/Linux, ~/.cache may
not be the best place to put such data. On macOS it should probably
default to ~/Library/Caches/... On Windows, %LocalAppData%/... I
don't intend to do this part, but further patches are welcome.
- I think that we need to be careful that multiple instances of GDB
don't interfere with each other (not far fetched at all if you run GDB
in some automated script) and the cache is always coherent (either the
file is not found, or it is found and entirely valid). Writing the
file directly to its final location seems like a recipe for failure.
One GDB could read a file in the index while it is being written by
another GDB. To mitigate this, I made write_psymtabs_to_index write
to temporary files and rename them once it's done. Two GDB instances
writing the index for the same file should not step on each other's
toes (the last file to be renamed will stay). A GDB looking up a file
will only see a complete file or no file. Also, if GDB crashes while
generating the index file, it will leave a work-in-progress file, but
it won't be picked up by other instances looking up in the cache.

New in v2:
- As Tom pointed out, we don't need to keep the fd around after
mmapping. This simplifies things quite a bit, since we don't need a
new class. It's now just a function that returns a scoped_mmap.
We already have scoped_mmap, which is a thin RAII layer over mmap. If
one simply wants to mmap an entire file for reading, it takes a bit of
boilerplate. This patch introduces the mmap_file function to make this
easier.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in (COMMON_SFILES): Add common/scoped_mmap.c.
* common/scoped_mmap.c: New file.
* common/scoped_mmap.h (destroy): New method.
(~scoped_mmap, reset): Use destroy.
(scoped_mmap): New move constructor.
(mmap_file): New declaration.
* unittests/scoped_mmap-selftests.c (test_normal,
test_invalid_filename, run_tests): New functions.
(_initialize_scoped_mmap_selftests): Register selftest.
New in v3:
- Remove changed to dwarf-5 functions.
The read_gdb_index_from_section and read_debug_names_from_section
functions read the index content, as their names state, from sections of
object files. A following patch will make it possible to read index
content from standalone files.
This patch therefore decouples the code that reads the index content
from the code that processes that content. Functions
dwarf2_read_gdb_index and dwarf2_read_debug_names receive callbacks that
are responsible for providing the index contents (for both the main file
and the potential dwz file).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_gdb_index_from_section): Rename to...
(read_gdb_index_from_buffer): ... this. Remove section
parameter, add buffer parameter.
(get_gdb_index_contents_ftype,
get_gdb_index_contents_dwz_ftype): New typedefs.
(dwarf2_read_gdb_index): Add callback parameters to get the
index contents.
(get_gdb_index_contents_from_section): New.
(dwarf2_initialize_objfile): Update call to
dwarf2_read_gdb_index.
