gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2021-02-08 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* gdb.dwarf2/enqueued-cu-base-addr.exp: Fix inter-CU reference.
When stepping over thread-lock related codes (in uClibc), the inferior process
gets stuck and never manages to enter the critical section:
------8<-------
1 size_t fwrite(const void * __restrict ptr, size_t size,
2 size_t nmemb, register FILE * __restrict stream)
3 {
4 size_t retval;
5 __STDIO_AUTO_THREADLOCK_VAR;
6
7 > __STDIO_AUTO_THREADLOCK(stream);
8
9 retval = fwrite_unlocked(ptr, size, nmemb, stream);
10
11 __STDIO_AUTO_THREADUNLOCK(stream);
12
13 return retval;
14 }
------>8-------
Here, we are at line 7. Using the "next" command leads no where.
However, setting a breakpoint on line 9 and issuing "continue" works.
Looking at the assembly instructions reveals that we're dealing with the
critical section entry code [1] that should never be interrupted, in this
case by the debugger's implicit breakpoints:
------8<-------
...
1 add_s r0,r13,0x38
2 mov_s r3,1
3 llock r2,[r0] <-.
4 brne.nt r2,0,14 --. |
5 scond r3,[r0] | |
6 bne -10 --|--'
7 brne_s r2,0,84 <-'
...
------>8-------
Lines 3 until 5 (inclusive) are supposed to be executed atomically.
Therefore, GDB should never (implicitly) insert a breakpoint on lines
4 and 5, else the program will try to acquire the lock again by jumping
back to line 3 and gets stuck in an infinite loop.
The solution is to make GDB aware of these patterns so it inserts
breakpoints after the sequence -- line 6 in this example.

"llock" (Load Locked) loads the 32-bit word pointed by the source
operand. If the load is completed without any interruption or
exception, the physical address is remembered, in Lock Physical Address
(LPA), and the Lock Flag (LF) is set to 1. LF is a non-architecturally
visible flag and is cleared whenever an interrupt or exception takes
place. LF is also cleared (atomically) whenever another process writes
to the LPA.
"scond" (Store Conditional) will write to the destination address if
and only if the LF is set to 1. When finished, with or without a write,
it atomically copies the LF value to ZF (Zero Flag).
These two instructions together provide the mechanism for entering a
critical section. The code snippet above comes from uClibc:
-----------------------
v3 (after Tom's remarks[2]):
handle_atomic_sequence()
- no need to initialize the std::vector with "{}"
- fix typo in comments: "conditial" -> "conditional"
- add braces to the body of "if" condition because of the comment line
arc_linux_software_single_step()
- make the performance slightly more efficient by moving a few
variables after the likely "return" point.
v2 (after Simon's remarks[3]):
- handle_atomic_sequence() gets a copy of an instruction instead of
a reference.
- handle_atomic_sequence() asserts if the given instruction is an llock.

If the user implements a TUI window in Python, and this window
responds to GDB events and then redraws its window contents then there
is currently an edge case which can lead to problems.
The Python API documentation suggests that calling methods like erase
or write on a TUI window (from Python code) will raise an exception if
the window is not valid.
And the description for is_valid says:
This method returns True when this window is valid. When the user
changes the TUI layout, windows no longer visible in the new layout
will be destroyed. At this point, the gdb.TuiWindow will no longer
be valid, and methods (and attributes) other than is_valid will
throw an exception.
From this I, as a user, would expect that if I did 'tui disable' to
switch back to CLI mode, then the window would no longer be valid.
However, this is not the case.
When the TUI is disabled the windows in the TUI are not deleted, they
are simply hidden. As such, currently, the is_valid method continues
to return true.
This means that if the users Python code does something like:
def event_handler (e):
global tui_window_object
if tui_window_object->is_valid ():
tui_window_object->erase ()
tui_window_object->write ("Hello World")
gdb.events.stop.connect (event_handler)
Then when a stop event arrives GDB will try to draw the TUI window,
even when the TUI is disabled.
This exposes two bugs. First, is_valid should be returning false in
this case, second, if the user forgot to add the is_valid call, then I
believe the erase and write calls should be throwing an
exception (when the TUI is disabled).
The solution to both of these issues is I think bound together, as it
depends on having a working 'is_valid' check.
There's a rogue assert added into tui-layout.c as part of this
commit. While working on this commit I managed to break GDB such that
TUI_CMD_WIN was nullptr, this was causing GDB to abort. I'm leaving
the assert in as it might help people catch issues in the future.

This commit was inspired by this mailing list patch:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-January/174713.html
Currently, calling tui_layout_window::apply will add the window from
the layout object to the global tui_windows list.
Unfortunately, when the user runs the 'winheight' command, this calls
tui_adjust_window_height, which calls the tui_layout_base::adjust_size
function, which can then call tui_layout_base::apply. The consequence
of this is that when the user does 'winheight' duplicate copies of a
window can be added to the global tui_windows list.
The original patch fixed this by changing the apply function to only
update the global list some of the time.
This patch takes a different approach. The apply function no longer
updates the global tui_windows list. Instead a new virtual function
is added to tui_layout_base which is used to gather all the currently
applied windows into a vector. Finally tui_apply_current_layout is
updated to make use of this new function to update the tui_windows
list.
The benefits I see in this approach are, (a) the apply function now no
longer touches global state, this solves the immediate problem,
and (b) now that tui_windows is updated directly in the function
tui_apply_current_layout, we can drop the saved_tui_windows global.

While working on another patch I noticed an oddly formatted error
message in the Python code.
When 'set python print-stack message' is in effect then consider this
Python script:
class TestCommand (gdb.Command):
def __init__ (self):
gdb.Command.__init__ (self, "test-cmd", gdb.COMMAND_DATA)
def invoke(self, args, from_tty):
raise RuntimeError ("bad")
TestCommand ()
And this GDB session:
(gdb) source path/to/python/script.py
(gdb) test-cmd
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'> bad:
Error occurred in Python: bad
The line 'Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'> bad:' doesn't look
terrible in this situation, the colon at the end of the first line
makes sense given the second line.
However, there are places in GDB where there is no second line
printed, for example consider this python script:
def stop_listener (e):
raise RuntimeError ("bad")
gdb.events.stop.connect (stop_listener)
Then this GDB session:
(gdb) file helloworld.exe
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40112a: file hello.c, line 6.
Starting program: helloworld.exe
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at hello.c:6
6 printf ("Hello World\n");
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'> bad:
(gdb) si
0x000000000040112f 6 printf ("Hello World\n");
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'> bad:
In this case there is no auxiliary information displayed after the
warning, and the line ending in the colon looks weird to me.
A quick survey of the code seems to indicate that it is not uncommon
for there to be no auxiliary information line printed, its not just
the one case I found above.
I propose that the line that currently looks like this:
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'> bad:
Be reformatted like this:
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'>: bad
I think this looks fine then in either situation. The first now looks
like this:
(gdb) test-cmd
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'>: bad
Error occurred in Python: bad
And the second like this:
(gdb) si
0x000000000040112f 6 printf ("Hello World\n");
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'>: bad
There's just two tests that needed updating. Errors are checked for
in many more tests, but most of the time the pattern doesn't care
about the colon.

from load.c.

GCC warnings for missing function declarations.

My initial goal was to fix our gdb/testsuite/lib/tuiterm.exp such that
it would correctly support (some limited) scrolling of the command
window.
What I observe is that when sending commands to the tui command window
in a test script with:
Term::command "p 1"
The command window would be left looking like this:
(gdb)
(gdb) p 1$1 = 1
(gdb)
When I would have expected it to look like this:
(gdb) p 1
$1 = 1
(gdb)
Obviously a bug in our tuiterm.exp library, right???
Wrong!
Turns out there's a bug in GDB.
If in GDB I enable the tui and then type (slowly) the 'p 1\r' (the \r
is pressing the return key at the end of the string), then you do
indeed get the "expected" terminal output.
However, if instead I copy the 'p 1\r' string and paste it into the
tui in one go then I now see the same corrupted output as we do when
using tuiterm.exp.
It turns out the problem is that GDB fails when handling lots of input
arriving quickly with a \r (or \n) on the end.
The reason for this bug is as follows:
When the tui is active the terminal is in no-echo mode, so characters
sent to the terminal are not echoed out again. This means that when
the user types \r, this is not echoed to the terminal.
The characters read in are passed to readline and \r indicates that
the command line is complete and ready to be processed. However, the
\r is not included in readlines command buffer, and is NOT printed by
readline when is displays its buffer to the screen.
So, in GDB we have to manually spot the \r when it is read in and
update the display. Printing a newline character to the output and
moving the cursor to the next line. This is done in tui_getc_1.
Now readline tries to reduce the number of write calls. So if we very
quickly (as in paste in one go) the text 'p 1' to readline (this time
with no \r on the end), then readline will fetch the fist character
and add it to its internal buffer. But before printing the character
out readline checks to see if there's more input incoming. As we
pasted multiple characters, then yes, readline sees the ' ' and adds
this to its buffer, and finally the '1', this too is added to the
buffer.
Now if at this point we take a break, readline sees there is no more
input available, and so prints its buffer out.
Now when we press \r the code in tui_getc_1 kicks in, adds a \n to the
output and moves the cursor to the next line.
But, if instead we paste 'p 1\r' in one go then readline adds 'p 1' to
its buffer as before, but now it sees that there is still more input
available. Now it fetches the '\r', but this triggers the newline
behaviour, we print '\n' and move to the next line - however readline
has not printed its buffer yet!
So finally we end up on the next line. There's no more input
available so readline prints its buffer, then GDB gets passed the
buffer, handles it, and prints the result.
The solution I think is to put of our special newline insertion code
until we know that readline has finished printing its buffer. Handily
we know when this is - the next thing readline does is pass us the
command line buffer for processing. So all we need to do is hook in
to the command line processing, and before we pass the command line to
GDB's internals we do all of the magic print a newline and move the
cursor to the next line stuff.
Luckily, GDB's interpreter mechanism already provides the hooks we
need to do this. So all I do here is move the newline printing code
from tui_getc_1 into a new function, setup a new input_handler hook
for the tui, and call my new newline printing function.
After this I can enable the tui and paste in 'p 1\r' and see the
correct output.
Also the tuiterm.exp library will now see non-corrupted output.

The implementation of the delete line escape sequence in tuiterm.exp
was wrong. Delete should take a count and then delete COUNT lines at
the current cursor location, all remaining lines in the scroll region
are moved up to replace the deleted lines, with blank lines being
added at the end of the scroll region.
It's not clear to me what "scroll region" means here (or at least how
that is defined), but for now I'm just treating the whole screen as
the scroll region, which seems to work fine.
In contrast the current broken implementation deletes COUNT lines at
the cursor location moving the next COUNT lines up to fill the gap.
The rest of the screen is then cleared.

These ports don't use the common sim core, so they weren't providing
a sim_memory_map for gdb, so they failed to link with the new memory
map logic added for the sim. Add stubs to fix.
Few arches implement STATE_WATCHPOINTS()->pc while all of them implement
sim_pc_get. Lets switch the sim-watch core for monitoring pc events to
the sim_pc_get API so this module works for all ports, and then we can
delete this old back channel of snooping in the port's cpu state -- the
code needs the pointer to the pc storage so that it can read out bytes
and compare them to the watchrange.
This also fixes the logic on multi-cpu sims by removing the limitation
of only being able to watch CPU0's state.
The AC_CONFIG_HEADER macro is long deprecated, so switch to the
newer form. This also gets rid of the position limitation, and
drops support for an argument to SIM_AC_COMMON which we haven't
used anywhere.
These settings might have made sense in darker compiler times, but I
think they're largely obsolete now. Looking through the values that
get used in HDEFINES, it's quite limited, and configure itself should
handle them. If we still need something, we can leverage standard
autoconf macros instead, after we get a clear user report.
TDEFINES was never set anywhere and was always empty, so prune that.

The test-case nextoverthrow.exp is failing on targets with unstripped libc.
This is a regression since commit 1940319c0e "[gdb] Fix internal-error in
process_event_stop_test".
The problem is that this code in create_exception_master_breakpoint:
...
for (objfile *sepdebug = obj->separate_debug_objfile;
sepdebug != nullptr; sepdebug = sepdebug->separate_debug_objfile)
if (create_exception_master_breakpoint_hook (sepdebug))
...
iterates over all the separate debug object files, but fails to handle the
case that obj itself has the debug info we're looking for.
Fix this by using the separate_debug_objfiles () range instead, which does
iterate both over obj and the obj->separate_debug_objfile chain.

We're running into this abort in process_psymtab_comp_unit:
...
switch (reader.comp_unit_die->tag)
{
case DW_TAG_compile_unit:
this_cu->unit_type = DW_UT_compile;
break;
case DW_TAG_partial_unit:
this_cu->unit_type = DW_UT_partial;
break;
default:
abort ();
}
...
because reader.comp_unit_die->tag == DW_TAG_type_unit.
Fix this by adding a DW_TAG_type_unit case.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Using a hello world a.out, I run into a segfault:
...
$ gcc hello.c
$ gdb -batch a.out -ex "catch syscall -1" -ex r
Catchpoint 1 (syscall -1)
Aborted (core dumped)
...
Fix this by erroring out if a negative syscall number is used in the
catch syscall command.

I noticed that several parsers shared the same code to write a symbol
reference to an expression. This patch factors this code out into a
new function.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.

When an executable contains an index such as a .gdb_index or .debug_names
section, gdb ignores the DW_AT_subprogram attribute.

I'm running into this assertion failure:
...
$ gdb -batch -ex "p (void *)0 - 5i"
gdbtypes.c:3430: internal-error: \
type* init_complex_type(const char*, type*): Assertion \
`target_type->code () == TYPE_CODE_INT \
|| target_type->code () == TYPE_CODE_FLT' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
...
This is a regression since commit c34e871466 "Implement complex arithmetic".
Before that commit we had:
...
(gdb) p (void *)0 - 5i
Argument to arithmetic operation not a number or boolean.
...
Fix this in complex_binop by throwing an error, such that we have:
...
(gdb) print (void *)0 - 5i
Argument to complex arithmetic operation not supported.
...

When running test-case gdb.dwarf2/clang-debug-names.exp, I run into the
following warning:
...
(gdb) file clang-debug-names^M
Reading symbols from clang-debug-names...^M
warning: Section .debug_aranges in clang-debug-names has duplicate \
debug_info_offset 0xc7, ignoring .debug_aranges.^M
...
This is caused by a missing return in commit 3ee6bb113a "[gdb/symtab] Fix
incomplete CU list assert in .debug_names".
Fix this by adding the missing return, such that we have instead this warning:
...
(gdb) file clang-debug-names^M

warning: Section .debug_aranges in clang-debug-names \
entry at offset 0 debug_info_offset 0 does not exists, \
