Function overload resolution prints debug output if turned on via the
'set debug overload' command. The output includes the badness vector
(BV). For each function, this vector contains a badness value of the
length of parameters as its first element. So, BV[0] does not
correspond to a parameter. The badness values of parameters start
with BV[1].
A badness value is a pair; it contains a rank and a subrank. Printing
both fields provides useful information.
Improve printing the badness vector along these lines.

A segfault occurs if overload resolution debug mode is turned on via
the 'set debug overload' command. E.g.:
~~~
$ gdb ./a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) set debug overload 1
(gdb) print foo(5)
-- Arg is int [8], parm is double [9]
Overloaded function instance (null) # of parms 1
Segmentation fault
$
~~~
The problem is, GDB tries to print the badness vector after it has
been std::move'd. Fix the problem by printing the vector before it is
moved.

The flag controlling the default DWARF CIE version to produce now
starts with the value -1. This can be modified with the command line
flag as before, but after command line flag processing, in
md_after_parse_args targets can, if the global still has the value -1,
override this value. This gives a target specific default.
If a CIE version is not select either by command line flag, or a
target specific default, then some new code in dwarf2_init now select
a global default. This remains as version 1 to match previous
behaviour.
This RISC-V has a target specific default of version provided, this
make the return column uleb128, which means we can use all DWARF
registers include CSRs.
I chose to switch to version 3 rather than version 4 as this is most
similar to the global default (version 1). Switching to version 4
adds additional columns to the CIE header.

In version 1 of DWARF CIE format, the return register column is just a

This commit gives DWARF register numbers to the RISC-V CSRs inline
with the RISC-V ELF specification here:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.md
The CSRs are defined being numbered from 4096 to 8191.
This adds support to the assembler, required in order to reference
CSRs in, for example .cfi directives.
I have then extended dwarf.c in order to support printing CSR names in
the dumped DWARF output. As the CSR name space is quite large and
only sparsely populated, I have provided a new function to perform
RISC-V DWARF register name lookup which uses a switch statement rather
than the table base approach that other architectures use.
Any CSR that does not have a known name will return a name based on
'csr%d' with the %d being replaced by the offset of the CSR from 4096.

Currently if a target has a large ( > 1024 ) number of registers then
we get a warning when dumping the DWARF whenever a register over the
1024 limit is referenced, this occurs in dwarf.c:frame_need_space.
This check was initially introduced to guard against corrupted DWARF
referencing stupidly large numbers of registers.
The frame_need_space function already has a check in place so that, if
a target specifies a set of known DWARF register names then we must
only reference a register within this set, it is only after this check
that we check for the 1024 limit.
What this means is that if a target DOES NOT define a set of known
register names and if we reference more than 1024 registers
frame_need_space will give a warning.
If a target DOES define a set of known registers and there are more
than 1024 defined registers, and we try to reference a register beyond
1024 we will again get an error.
This second case feels wrong to me. My thinking is that if a target
defines a set of registers then it is not unreasonable to assume the
tools can cope with that number of registers. And so, if the target
defines 2000 named DWARF registers, frame_need_space should allow
access to all of these registers.
If a target does not define a set of named registers then the 1024
limit should remain. This is pretty arbitrary, but we do need to have
some limit in place I think, so for now that seems as good as any.
This is an entirely theoretical fix - there are no targets that define
such large numbers of registers, but while experimenting with adding
support for RISC-V CSRs I ran into this issue and felt like it was a
good improvement.

* dwarf.c (frame_need_space): Compare dwarf_regnames_count against

We build a hash table of all register classes and numbers. The hash
key is the register name and the hash value is the class and number
encoded into a single value, which is of type 'void *'.
When we pull the values out of the hash we cast them to be a pointer
to a structure, however, we never access the fields of that structure,
we just decode the register class and number from the pointer value
itself.
This commit removes the structure and treats the encoded class and
number as a 'void *' during hash lookup.

The Fortran test gdb.fortran/info-modules compiles the files
info-types.f90 and info-types-2.f90 in that order. Unfortunately
info-types.f90 makes use of a module defined in info-types-2.f90.
This currently doesn't cause a problem if you run all of the Fortran
tests as the info-types.exp test already compiles info-types-2.f90 and
so the module description file 'mod2.mod' will be created, and can
then be found by info-modules.exp during its compile.
If however you try to run just info-modules.exp in a clean build
directory, the test will fail to compile.
Fix this by compiling the source files in the reverse order so that
the module is compiled first, then the test program that uses the
module.

ERROR: Couldn't send ptype main::foo to GDB.

Change-Id: I073fe69b81bd258951615f752df8e95b6e33a271
This is a fix for BZ 25065.
GDB segfaults when running either gdb.cp/subtypes.exp or
gdb.cp/local.exp in conjunction with using the -flto compiler/linker
flag.
A much simpler program, which was used to help create the test for
this fix, is:
-- doit.cc --
int main()
{
class Foo {
public:
int doit ()
{
return 0;
}
};
Foo foo;
return foo.doit ();
}
-- end doit.cc --
gcc -o doit -flto -g doit.cc
gdb -q doit
Reading symbols from doit...
(gdb) ptype main::Foo
type = class Foo {
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The segfault occurs due to a NULL physname in
c_type_print_base_struct_union in c-typeprint.c. Specifically,
calling is_constructor_name() eventually causes the SIGSEGV is this
code in c-typeprint.c:
const char *physname = TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME (f, j);
int is_full_physname_constructor =
TYPE_FN_FIELD_CONSTRUCTOR (f, j)
|| is_constructor_name (physname)
|| is_destructor_name (physname)
|| method_name[0] == '~';
However, looking at compute_delayed_physnames(), we see that
the TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME field should never be NULL. This
field will be set to "" for NULL physnames:
physname = dwarf2_physname (mi.name, mi.die, cu);
TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME (fn_flp->fn_fields, mi.index)
= physname ? physname : "";
For this particular case, it turns out that compute_delayed_physnames
wasn't being called, which left TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME set to the NULL
value that it started with when that data structure was allocated.
The place to fix it, I think, is towards the end of
inherit_abstract_dies().
My first attempt at fix caused the origin CU's method_list (which is
simply the list of methods whose physnames still need to be computed)
to be added to the CU which is doing the inheriting. One drawback
with this approach is that compute_delayed_physnames is (eventually)
called with a CU that's different than the CU in which the methods
were found. It's not clear whether this will cause problems or not.
A safer approach, which is what I ultimately settled on, is to call
compute_delayed_physnames() from inherit_abstract_dies(). One
potential drawback is that all needed types might not be known at that
point. However, in my testing, I haven't seen a problem along these
lines.

Sometimes DWARF info for a function is incomplete, and the function
can be retrieved by examining symbols. However, when separate debug
files are used it may be that the original file is completely
stripped of symbols. This patch teaches BFD to look at symbols from
the debug file in that case.
The patch also removes arm_elf_find_function, instead implementing
elf_backend_maybe_function_sym. arm_elf_find_function was written
before the generic _bfd_elf_find_function called maybe_function_sym.
aarch64 copied arm, so that file gets the same treatment. There is
some chance this will speed up arm and aarch64 lookup of function/line.

This adds a simple thread pool to gdb. In the end, this seemed
preferable to the approach taken in an earlier version of this series;
namely, starting threads in the parallel-foreach implementation. This
approach reduces the overhead of starting new threads, and also lets
the user control (in a subsequent patch) exactly how many worker
threads are running.

The gdb demangler installs a SIGSEGV handler in order to protect gdb
from demangler bugs. However, this is not thread-safe, as signal
handlers are global to the process.
This patch changes gdb to always install a global SIGSEGV handler, and
then lets threads indicate their interest in handling the signal by
setting a thread-local variable.
This patch then arranges for the demangler code to use this; being
sure to arrange for calls to warning and the like to be done on the
main thread.
One thing I wondered while writing this patch is if there are any
systems that do not have "sigaction". If gdb could assume this, it
would simplify this code.

This introduces a new RAII class that temporarily installs an
alternate signal stack (on systems that have sigaltstack); then
changes the one gdb use of sigaltstack to use this class instead.

This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb. (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)
The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread. So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.
The sigprocmask man page says:
The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
process; see pthread_sigmask(3).
This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.
I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.
I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about
that platform and because I cannot test it.
Finally, this modifies an existing spot in the Guile layer to use the
new facility.
