dbd1e97e32 PowerPC64 changes for xlc
The changes to reorder sections for better relro protection on powerpc64,
3e2b0f31, 23283c1b, and 5ad18f16, run into a problem with xlc.
xlc -qdatalocal puts global variables into .toc, which means that .toc
must be writable.  The simplest way to accomplish this is to edit the
linker script to remove .toc sections from .got on detecting xlc object
files.

bfd/
	* elf64-ppc.h (struct ppc64_elf_params): Add "object_in_toc".
	* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_add_symbol_hook): Assume that global symbols
	in .toc indicate xlc compiled code that might require a rw .toc.

	* emulparams/elf64ppc.sh (INITIAL_READWRITE_SECTIONS): Define.
	* emultempl/ppc64elf.em (params): Init new field.

cc9ad334a7 Allow symbols in MEMORY region specification
This patch fixes PR 4643 by allowing symbols in the LENGTH and ORIGIN
fields of MEMORY regions.  Previously, only constants and constant
expressions are allowed.

For the AVR target, this helps define memory constraints more
accurately (per device), without having to create a ton of device
specific linker scripts.

527f3840e1 Fix 100x slowdown regression on DWZ files
Since Fedora started to use DWZ DWARF compressor:
	http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DwarfCompressor
GDB has slowed down a lot.  To make it clear - DWZ is DWARF structure
rearrangement, "compressor" does not mean any zlib style data compression.

This patch reduces LibreOffice backtrace from 5 minutes to 3 seconds (100x)
and it also reduces memory consumption 20x.
[ benchmark is at the bottom of this mail ]

Example of DWZ output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Compilation Unit @ offset 0xc4:
 <0><cf>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_partial_unit)
    <d0>   DW_AT_stmt_list   : 0x0

    <fd>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 3
    <fe>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 131
    <ff>   DW_AT_type        : <0x68>

  Compilation Unit @ offset 0x62d9f9:
 <0><62da04>: Abbrev Number: 20 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
[...]
    <62da12>   DW_AT_low_pc	 : 0x807e10
    <62da1a>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 134
    <62da1c>   DW_AT_stmt_list   : 0xf557e
 <1><62da20>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_imported_unit)
    <62da21>   DW_AT_import	 : <0xcf>	[Abbrev Number: 17]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One can see all DW_TAG_partial_unit have DW_AT_stmt_list 0x0 which causes
repeated decoding of that .debug_line unit on each DW_TAG_imported_unit.

This was OK before as each DW_TAG_compile_unit has its own .debug_line unit.
But since the introduction of DW_TAG_partial_unit by DWZ one should cache
read-in DW_AT_stmt_list .debug_line units.

Fortunately one does not need to cache whole
        struct linetable *symtab->linetable
and other data from .debug_line mapping PC<->lines
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Line Number Statements:
  Extended opcode 2: set Address to 0x45c880
  Advance Line by 25 to 26
  Copy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as the only part of .debug_line which GDB needs for DW_TAG_partial_unit is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The Directory Table:
  ../../gdb
  /usr/include/bits
[...]
 The File Name Table:
  Entry Dir     Time    Size    Name
  1     1	0	0	gdb.c
  2     2	0	0	string3.h
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specifically referenced in GDB for DW_AT_decl_file at a single place:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              fe = &cu->line_header->file_names[file_index - 1];
              SYMBOL_SYMTAB (sym) = fe->symtab;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is because for some reason DW_TAG_partial_unit never contains PC-related
DWARF information.  I do not know exactly why, the compression ratio is a bit
lower due to it but thanksfully currently it is that way:
dwz.c:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        /* These attributes reference code, prevent moving
           DIEs with them.  */
        case DW_AT_low_pc:
        case DW_AT_high_pc:
        case DW_AT_entry_pc:
        case DW_AT_ranges:
          die->die_ck_state = CK_BAD;
+
  /* State of checksum computation.  Not computed yet, computed and
     suitable for moving into partial units, currently being computed
     and finally determined unsuitable for moving into partial units.  */
  enum { CK_UNKNOWN, CK_KNOWN, CK_BEING_COMPUTED, CK_BAD } die_ck_state : 2;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also verified also real-world Fedora debuginfo files really comply with
that assumption with dwgrep
	https://github.com/pmachata/dwgrep
using:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dwgrep -e 'entry ?DW_TAG_partial_unit child* ( ?DW_AT_low_pc , ?DW_AT_high_pc , ?DW_AT_ranges )' /usr/lib/debug/**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW I think GDB already does not support the whole DW_TAG_imported_unit and
DW_TAG_partial_unit usage possibilities as specified by the DWARF standard.
I think GDB would not work if DW_TAG_imported_unit was used in some inner
level and not at the CU level (readelf -wi level <1>) - this is how DWZ is
using DW_TAG_imported_unit.  Therefore I do not think further assumptions
about DW_TAG_imported_unit and DW_TAG_partial_unit usage by DWZ are a problem
for GDB.

One could save the whole .debug_line decoded PC<->lines mapping (and not just
the DW_AT_decl_file table) but:
 * there are some problematic corner cases so one could do it incorrectly
 * there are no real world data to really test such patch extension
 * such extension could be done perfectly incrementally on top of this patch

f7e5394d61 Catch exception in value_rtti_indirect_type
In the situation described in bug 17416 [1]:

  * "set print object" is on;
  * The variable object is a pointer to a struct, and it contains an
    invalid value (e.g. NULL, or random uninitialized value);
  * The variable object (struct) has a child which is also a pointer to a
    struct;
  * We try to use "-var-list-children".

... an exception thrown in value_ind can propagate too far and leave an
half-built variable object, leading to a wrong state. This patch adds a
TRY_CATCH to catch it and makes value_rtti_indirect_type return NULL in
that case, meaning that the type of the pointed object could not be
found.

A test for the fix is also added.

New in v2:

  * Added test.
  * Restructured "catch" code.
  * Added details about the bug in commit log.

198297aafb Linux: make target_is_async_p return false when async is off
linux_nat_is_async_p currently always returns true, even when the
target is _not_ async.  That confuses
gdb_readline_wrapper/gdb_readline_wrapper_cleanup, which
force-disables target-async while the secondary prompt is active.  As
a result, when gdb_readline_wrapper returns, the target is left async,
even through it was sync to begin with.

That can result in weird bugs, like the one the test added by this
commit exposes.

717cf30c82 Introduce gdb_interact in testsuite
gdb_interact is a small utility that we have found quite useful to debug
test cases.

Putting gdb_interact in a test suspends it and allows to interact with
gdb to inspect whatever you want. You can then type ">>>" to resume the
test execution. Of course, this is only for gdb devs. It wouldn't make
sense to leave a gdb_interact permanently in a test case.

When starting the interaction with the user, the script prints this
banner:

+------------------------------------------+
| Script interrupted, you can now interact |
| with by gdb. Type >>> to continue.       |
+------------------------------------------+

Notes:
* When gdb is launched, the gdb_spawn_id variable (lib/gdb.exp) is
  assigned -1. Given the name, I would expect it to contain the gdb
  expect spawn id, which is needed for interact. I changed all places
  that set gdb_spawn_id to -1 to set it to the actual gdb spawn id
  instead.

* When entering the "interact" mode, the last (gdb) prompt is already
  eaten by expect, so it doesn't show up on the terminal. Subsequent
  prompts do appear though. We tried to print "(gdb)" just before the
  interact to replace it. However, it could be misleading if you are
  debugging an MI test case, it makes you think that you are typing in a
  CLI prompt, when in reality it's MI. In the end I decided that since
  the feature is for developers who know what they're doing and that one
  is normally consciously using gdb_interact, the script doesn't need
  to babysit the user.

* There are probably some quirks depending on where in the script
  gdb_interact appears (e.g. it could interfere with following
  commands and make them fail), but it works for most cases. Quirks can
  always be fixed later.

The idea and original implementation was contributed by Anders
Granlund, a colleague of mine. Thanks to him.

253828f102 Sort threads for thread apply all
downstream Fedora request:
	Please make it easier to find the backtrace of the crashing thread
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1024504

Currently after loading a core file GDB prints:

Core was generated by `./threadcrash1'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
8       *(volatile int *)0=0;
(gdb) _

there is nowhere seen which of the threads had crashed.  In reality GDB always
numbers that thread as #1 and it is the current thread that time.  But after
dumping all the info into a file for later analysis it is no longer obvious.
'thread apply all bt' even puts the thread #1 to the _end_ of the output!!!

I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number.  Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage.  Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

On Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:29:07 +0100, Doug Evans wrote:
No objection to sorting the list, but if thread #1 is the important one,
then a concern could be it'll have scrolled off the screen (such a

to scroll back to see it.
So one *could* still want #1 to be last.
Do we want an option to choose the sort direction?

Should GDB always print after loading a core file what "thread" command would
print?
[Current thread is 1 (Thread 0x7fcbe28fe700 (LWP 15453))]

BTW I think it will print the thread even when loading single/non-threaded
core file when other inferior(s) exist.  But that currently crashes

03b7960334 mingw32: fix windows-termcap/curses check
When GDB is configured with "--without-tui --with-curses" or "--with-tui",
$prefer_curses is set to yes.  But, that still doesn't mean that curses
will be used.  configure will still search for the curses library, and
continue building without it.  That's done here:

 curses_found=no
 if test x"$prefer_curses" = xyes; then
 ...
   AC_SEARCH_LIBS(waddstr, [ncurses cursesX curses])

   if test "$ac_cv_search_waddstr" != no; then
     curses_found=yes
   fi
 fi

So if waddstr is not found, meaning curses is not really
available, even though it'd be preferred, $prefer_curses is
'yes', but $curses_found is 'no'.

So the right fix to tell whether we're linking with curses is
$curses_found=yes.

	* configure.ac [*mingw32*]: Check $curses_found instead of

b35018fd7a gdb/hppa-tdep.c: Fix logical working flow issues and check additional store instructions.
Original working flow has several issues:

 - typo issue: "(inst >> 26) == 0x1f && ..." for checking 'stw(m)'.

 - "(inst >> 6) == 0xa" needs to be "((inst >> 6) & 0xf) == 0xa".

And also need check additional store instructions:

 - For absolute memory: 'stby', 'stdby'.

 - For unaligned: 'stwa', 'stda'.

The original code also can be improved:

 - Remove redundant double check "(inst >> 26) == 0x1b" for 'stwm'.

 - Use 2 'switch' statements instead of all 'if' statements.

	and check additional store instructions.
