With gcc 4.8/4.9, we run into this build failure (and other similar
ones):
/home/palves/gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdb/location.h:224:59: error: could not convert ‘{0, LINE_OFFSET_UNKNOWN}’ from ‘<brace-enclosed initializer list>’ to ‘line_offset’
struct line_offset line_offset = {0, LINE_OFFSET_UNKNOWN};
^
The issue is that at around the GCC 4.8/4.9 era, a default member
initializer prevented the struct from being an aggregate, so you
cannot use aggregate initialization on them. That rule changed after
GCC 4.9 and GCC 5 & later uses new rules.
Fix this by not using aggregate initialization for struct line_offset.
The default member initization already leaves line_offset as {0,
LINE_OFFSET_UNKNOWN}, so initialization to those values can just go
away. The remaining cases are of the form {0, LINE_OFFSET_NONE}, and
those cases can be better rewritten to delay setting the sign field
until we know we have a valid offset.

Currently, there's the location_spec hierarchy, and then some
location_spec subclasses have their own struct type holding all their
data fields.
I.e., there is this:
location_spec
explicit_location_spec
linespec_location_spec
address_location_spec
probe_location_spec
and then these separate types:
explicit_location
linespec_location
where:
explicit_location_spec
has-a explicit_location
linespec_location_spec
has-a linespec_location
This patch eliminates explicit_location and linespec_location,
inlining their members in the corresponding location_spec type.
The location_spec subclasses were the ones currently defined in
location.c, so they are moved to the header. Since the definitions of
the classes are now visible, we no longer need location_spec_deleter.
Some constructors that are used for cloning location_specs, like:
explicit explicit_location_spec (const struct explicit_location *loc)
... were converted to proper copy ctors.
In the process, initialize_explicit_location is eliminated, and some
functions that returned the "data type behind a locspec", like
get_linespec_location are converted to downcast functions, like
as_linespec_location_spec.
Change-Id: Ia31ccef9382b25a52b00fa878c8df9b8cf2a6c5a
Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the
location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or
an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the
breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to
SaLs. This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as
struct breakpoint has these two fields:
breakpoint::location;
breakpoint::loc;
"location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations.
And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the
resolved locations as range...
The location spec type is presently called event_location:
/* Location we used to set the breakpoint. */
event_location_up location;
and it is described like this:
/* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event
in the inferior. */
struct event_location
{
and even that is incorrect... Location specs are used for finding
actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do
with stop events. E.g., "list" works with location specs.
To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to
"location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a
location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like
e.g., "location" -> "locspec". Similarly, functions that work with
location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are
renamed to include "spec" in their name too.

For Cortex-M targets, SP register is never detached from msp or

For Arm Cortex-M33 with security extensions, there are 4 different
stack pointers (msp_s, msp_ns, psp_s, psp_ns). To be compatible
with earlier Cortex-M derivates, the msp and psp registers are
aliases for one of the 4 real stack pointer registers.
These are the combinations that exist:
sp -> msp -> msp_s
sp -> msp -> msp_ns
sp -> psp -> psp_s
sp -> psp -> psp_ns
This means that when the GDB client is to show the value of "msp",
the value should always be equal to either "msp_s" or "msp_ns".
Same goes for "psp".
To add a bit more context; GDB does not really use the register msp
(or psp) internally, but they are part of the set of registers which
are provided by the target.xml file. As a result, they will be part
of the set of registers printed by the "info r" command.
Without this particular patch, GDB will hit the assert in the bottom
of arm_cache_get_sp_register function.

After the recent restructuring of the disassembler code, GDB has ended
up with two identical class static functions, both called
dis_asm_read_memory, with identical implementations.
My first thought was to move these out of their respective classes,
and just make them global functions, then I'd only need a single
copy.
And maybe that's the right way to go. But I disliked that by doing
that I loose the encapsulation of the method with the corresponding
disassembler class.
So, instead, I placed the static method into its own class, and had
both the gdb_non_printing_memory_disassembler and gdb_disassembler
classes inherit from this new class as an additional base-class.
In terms of code generated, I don't think there's any significant
difference with this approach, but I think this better reflects how
the function is closely tied to the disassembler.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
This commit started from an observation I made while working on some
other disassembler patches, that is, that the function
gdb_buffered_insn_length, is broken ... sort of.
I noticed that the gdb_buffered_insn_length function doesn't set up
the application data field if the disassemble_info structure.
Further, I noticed that some architectures, for example, ARM, require
that the application_data field be set, see gdb_print_insn_arm in
arm-tdep.c.
And so, if we ever use gdb_buffered_insn_length for ARM, then GDB will
likely crash. Which is why I said only "sort of" broken. Right now
we don't use gdb_buffered_insn_length with ARM, so maybe it isn't
broken yet?
Anyway to prove to myself that there was a problem here I extended the
disassembler self tests in disasm-selftests.c to include a test of
gdb_buffered_insn_length. As I run the test for all architectures, I
do indeed see GDB crash for ARM.
To fix this we need gdb_buffered_insn_length to create a disassembler
that inherits from gdb_disassemble_info, but we also need this new
disassembler to not print anything.
And so, I introduce a new gdb_non_printing_disassembler class, this is
a disassembler that doesn't print anything to the output stream.
I then observed that both ARC and S12Z also create non-printing
disassemblers, but these are slightly different. While the
disassembler in gdb_non_printing_disassembler reads the instruction
from a buffer, the ARC and S12Z disassemblers read from target memory
using target_read_code.
And so, I further split gdb_non_printing_disassembler into two
sub-classes, gdb_non_printing_memory_disassembler and
gdb_non_printing_buffer_disassembler.
The new selftests now pass, but otherwise, there should be no user
visible changes after this commit.
This commit extends the Python API to include disassembler support.
The motivation for this commit was to provide an API by which the user
could write Python scripts that would augment the output of the
disassembler.
To achieve this I have followed the model of the existing libopcodes
disassembler, that is, instructions are disassembled one by one. This
does restrict the type of things that it is possible to do from a
Python script, i.e. all additional output has to fit on a single line,
but this was all I needed, and creating something more complex would,
I think, require greater changes to how GDB's internal disassembler
operates.
The disassembler API is contained in the new gdb.disassembler module,
which defines the following classes:
DisassembleInfo
Similar to libopcodes disassemble_info structure, has read-only
properties: address, architecture, and progspace. And has methods:
__init__, read_memory, and is_valid.
Each time GDB wants an instruction disassembled, an instance of
this class is passed to a user written disassembler function, by
reading the properties, and calling the methods (and other support
methods in the gdb.disassembler module) the user can perform and
return the disassembly.
Disassembler
This is a base-class which user written disassemblers should
inherit from. This base class provides base implementations of
__init__ and __call__ which the user written disassembler should
override.
DisassemblerResult
This class can be used to hold the result of a call to the
disassembler, it's really just a wrapper around a string (the text
of the disassembled instruction) and a length (in bytes). The user
can return an instance of this class from Disassembler.__call__ to
represent the newly disassembled instruction.
The gdb.disassembler module also provides the following functions:
register_disassembler
This function registers an instance of a Disassembler sub-class
as a disassembler, either for one specific architecture, or, as a
global disassembler for all architectures.
builtin_disassemble
This provides access to GDB's builtin disassembler. A common
use case that I see is augmenting the existing disassembler output.
The user code can call this function to have GDB disassemble the
instruction in the normal way. The user gets back a
DisassemblerResult object, which they can then read in order to
augment the disassembler output in any way they wish.
This function also provides a mechanism to intercept the
disassemblers reads of memory, thus the user can adjust what GDB
sees when it is disassembling.
The included documentation provides a more detailed description of the
API.
There is also a new CLI command added:
maint info python-disassemblers
This command is defined in the Python gdb.disassemblers module, and
can be used to list the currently registered Python disassemblers.
This commit is setup for the next commit.
In the next commit I will add a Python API to intercept the print_insn
calls within GDB, each print_insn call is responsible for
disassembling, and printing one instruction. After the next commit it
will be possible for a user to write Python code that either wraps
around the existing disassembler, or even, in extreme situations,
entirely replaces the existing disassembler.
This commit does not add any new Python API.
What this commit does is put the extension language framework in place
for a print_insn hook. There's a new callback added to 'struct
extension_language_ops', which is then filled in with nullptr for Python
and Guile.
Finally, in the disassembler, the code is restructured so that the new
extension language function ext_lang_print_insn is called before we
delegate to gdbarch_print_insn.
After this, the next commit can focus entirely on providing a Python
implementation of the new print_insn callback.
There should be no user visible change after this commit.
The motivation for this change is an upcoming Python disassembler API
that I would like to add. As part of that change I need to create a
new disassembler like class that contains a disassemble_info and a
gdbarch. The management of these two objects is identical to how we
manage these objects within gdb_disassembler, so it might be tempting
for my new class to inherit from gdb_disassembler.
The problem however, is that gdb_disassembler has a tight connection
between its constructor, and its print_insn method. In the
constructor the ui_file* that is passed in is replaced with a member
variable string_file*, and then in print_insn, the contents of the
member variable string_file are printed to the original ui_file*.
What this means is that the gdb_disassembler class has a tight
coupling between its constructor and print_insn; the class just isn't
intended to be used in a situation where print_insn is not going to be
called, which is how my (upcoming) sub-class would need to operate.
My solution then, is to separate out the management of the
disassemble_info and gdbarch into a new gdb_disassemble_info class,
and make this class a parent of gdb_disassembler.
In arm-tdep.c and mips-tdep.c, where we used to cast the
disassemble_info->application_data to a gdb_disassembler, we can now
cast to a gdb_disassemble_info as we only need to access the gdbarch
information.
Now, my new Python disassembler sub-class will still want to print
things to an output stream, and so we will want access to the
dis_asm_fprintf functionality for printing.
However, rather than move this printing code into the
gdb_disassemble_info base class, I have added yet another level of
hierarchy, a gdb_printing_disassembler, thus the class structure is
now:
struct gdb_disassemble_info {};
struct gdb_printing_disassembler : public gdb_disassemble_info {};
struct gdb_disassembler : public gdb_printing_disassembler {};
In a later commit my new Python disassembler will inherit from
gdb_printing_disassembler.
The reason for adding the additional layer to the class hierarchy is
that in yet another commit I intend to rewrite the function
gdb_buffered_insn_length, and to do this I will be creating yet more
disassembler like classes, however, these will not print anything,
thus I will add a gdb_non_printing_disassembler class that also
inherits from gdb_disassemble_info. Knowing that that change is
coming, I've gone with the above class hierarchy now.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Convert the gdbpy_err_fetch class to make use of gdbpy_ref, this
removes the need for manual reference count management, and allows the
destructor to be removed.
There should be no functional change after this commit.
I think this cleanup is worth doing on its own, however, in a later
commit I will want to copy instances of gdbpy_err_fetch, and switching
to using gdbpy_ref means that I can rely on the default copy
constructor, without having to add one that handles the reference
counts, so this is good preparation for that upcoming change.

Some ravenscar runtimes implement lazy FPU handling. On these
runtimes, the FPU is only initialized when a task tries to use it.
Furthermore, the FP registers aren't automatically saved on a task
switch -- instead, the save is deferred until the new task tries to
use the FPU. Furthermore, each task's context area has a flag
indicating whether the FPU has been initialized for this task.
This patch teaches GDB to understand this implementation. When
fetching or storing registers, GDB now checks to see whether the live
FP registers should be used. If not, the task's saved FP registers
will be used if the task has caused FPU initialization.
Currently only AArch64 uses this code. bb-runtimes implements this
for ARM as well, but GDB doesn't yet have an arm-ravenscar-thread.c.
Currently, the ravenscar-thread implementation for each architecture
is written by hand. However, these are actually written by
copy-paste. It seems better to switch to a table-driven approach.
The previous code also fetched all registers whenever any register was
requested. This is corrected in the new implementation.
We found a few bugs in aarch64-ravenscar-thread.c.
First, some of the register offsets were incorrect. The "bb-runtimes"
file for this runtime had the wrong offsets in comments, which GDB
took to be correct. However, those comments didn't account for
alignment. This patch adjusts the offsets.
Next, the "FPU Saved field" is not a register -- it is an
implementation detail of the runtime. This is removed.
Finally, I think the FP registers are actually named V0-V31, and the
"Q" names are pseudo-registers. This patch fixes the comment.

Yes, the commit 0aabe54e62 changes likely should go in too. I'm a
little wary of adding all the sanity checks to elf_core_file_p since
that might result in some core files not being recognised at all. For
example, despite the FIXME I'd guess leaving out the EI_VERSION check
was deliberate. The following seems reasonable to me. Please test.
Starting with (future) Clang 15 (since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D120989), Clang emits the DWARF information
of global alias variables as DW_TAG_imported_declaration. However,
GDB does not handle it. It incorrectly always reads this tag as
C++/Fortran imported declaration (type alias, namespace alias and
Fortran module). This commit adds support to handle this tag as an
alias variable.
This change fixes the failures in the gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp
testcase with current git Clang. This testcase is also updated to
test nested (recursive) aliases.
MIPS should not be using BFD_RELOC_16 for its R_MIPS_16 relocation,
since R_MIPS_16 specifies a 16-bit field in a 32-bit word.
BFD_RELOC_16, emitted by generic code to handle fixups on 16-bit data
directives, expects fixups to operate on the whole of a 16-bit word.
This patch corrects the problem by using BFD_RELOC_MIPS_16, a new bfd
reloc that is used to generate R_MIPS_16. BFD_RELOC_16 is handled in
md_apply_fix for cases where the fixup can be applied at assembly
time. Like BFD_RELOC_8, BFD_RELOC_16 now has no corresponding object
file relocation, and thus .half, .hword, .short and .dc.w must be
resolved at assembly time. BFD_RELOC_MIPS_REL16 is removed by this
patch since it isn't used.
