Now that ChangeLog entries are no longer used for GDB patches,
this commit renames the file gdb/ChangeLog to gdb/ChangeLog-2021,
similar to what we would do in the context of the "Start of New
Year" procedure.
The purpose of this change is to avoid people merging ChangeLog
entries by mistake when applying existing commits that they are
currently working on.
These are copied from sim/common/Make-common.in.
On ppc the build fails without at least the 'info' target, e.g.:
Making info in ppc
make[4]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/gdb-10.2.2974.g5b45e89f56d+21.10.20210510155809/build/default/sim/ppc'
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'info'. Stop.
the fix for PR22756 only changed behaviour for hidden aliases,
but the same situation exists for non-hidden aliases: sym_hashes[]
can contain multiple entries pointing to the same symbol structure
leading to relaxation adjustment to be applied twice.
Fix this by testing for duplicates for everything that looks like it
has a version.

Running "make check-perf" on a system with Python 3.8 (e.g., Ubuntu
20.04) runs into this Python problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error while executing Python code.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.perf/single-step.exp: python SingleStep(1000).run()
... many times over.
The problem is that the testsuite is using time.clock(), deprecated in
Python 3.3 and finaly removed in Python 3.8. The guidelines say to
use time.perf_counter() or time.process_time() instead depending on
requirements. Looking at the current description of those functions,
at:
https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/time.html
we have:
time.perf_counter() -> float
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a performance
counter, i.e. a clock with the highest available resolution to
measure a short duration. It does include time elapsed during
sleep and is system-wide. (...)
time.process_time() -> float
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of the sum of the
system and user CPU time of the current process. It does not
include time elapsed during sleep. It is process-wide by
definition. (...)
I'm thinking that it's just best to record both instead of picking
one. So this patch replaces the MeasurementCpuTime measurement class
with two new classes -- MeasurementPerfCounter and
MeasurementProcessTime. Correspondingly, this changes the reports in
testsuite/perftest.log -- we have two new "perf_counter" and
"process_time" measurements and the "cpu_time" measurement is gone. I
don't suppose breaking backward compatibility here is a big problem.
I suspect no one is really tracking long term performance using the
perf testsuite today. And if they are, it shouldn't be hard to adjust.
For backward compatility, with Python < 3.3, both perf_counter and
process_time use the old time.clock.

Currently, if you run make check-perf on a system with Python 3.8,
tests seen to PASS, but they actually test a lot less than intended,
due to:

At the moment some check-read1 timeouts are handled like this in
gdb.base/info-macros.exp:
...
gdb_test_multiple_with_read1_timeout_factor 10 "$test" $testname {
-re "$r1$r2$r3" {
pass $testname
}
-re ".*#define TWO.*\r\n$gdb_prompt" {
fail $testname
}
-re ".*#define THREE.*\r\n$gdb_prompt" {
fail $testname
}
-re ".*#define FOUR.*\r\n$gdb_prompt" {
fail $testname
}
}
...
which is not ideal.
We could use gdb_test_lines, but it currently doesn't support verifying
the absence of regexps, which is done using the clauses above calling fail.
Fix this by using gdb_test_lines and adding a -re-not syntax to
gdb_test_lines, such that we can do:
...
gdb_test_lines $test $testname $r1.*$r2 \
-re-not "#define TWO" \
-re-not "#define THREE" \
-re-not "#define FOUR"
...
Tested on x86_64-linux, whith make targets check and check-read1.
Also observed that check-read1 execution time is reduced from 6m35s to 13s.

Tom Tromey observed that when changing the language in
gdb.dwarf2/imported-unit-bp.exp from c to c++, the test failed.
This is due to this code in process_imported_unit_die:
...
/* We're importing a C++ compilation unit with tag DW_TAG_compile_unit
into another compilation unit, at root level. Regard this as a hint,
and ignore it. */
if (die->parent && die->parent->parent == NULL
&& per_cu->unit_type == DW_UT_compile
&& per_cu->lang == language_cplus)
return;
...
which should have a partial symtabs counterpart.
Add the missing counterpart in process_psymtab_comp_unit.
Tested on x86_64-linux (openSUSE Leap 15.2), no regressions for config:

This changes the .debug_names writer to find the TU indices in the
main loop over all CUs and TUs. (An earlier patch applied this same
treatment to the .gdb_index writer.)
write_gdbindex writes the CUs first, then walks the signatured type
hash table to write out the TUs. However, now that CUs and TUs are
unified in the DWARF reader, it's simpler to handle both of these in
the same loop.
My recent patch to unify CUs and TUs introduced an oddity in
write_gdbindex. Here, we pass 'i' to recursively_write_psymbols, but
we must instead pass 'counter', to handle the situation where a TU is
mixed in with the CUs.
I am not sure a test case for this is possible. I think it can only
happen when using DWARF 5, where a TU appears in .debug_info.
However, this situation is already not handled correctly by
.gdb_index. I filed a bug about this.
The compiler gives this warning when building symtab.c:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.c:4247:28: warning: 'to_match' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
This patch fixes the warning by adding a gdb_assert_not_reached.
Linker plugin_object_p opens the IR archive for each IR archive member.
For GCC plugin, plugin_object_p closes the archive file descriptor. But
for LLVM plugin, the archive file descriptor remains open. If there are
3000 IR archive members, there are 3000 file descriptors for them. We
can run out of file descriptors petty easily.
1. Add archive_plugin_fd and archive_plugin_fd_open_count to bfd so that
we can cache and reuse the IR archive file descriptor for all IR archive
members in the archive.
2. Add bfd_plugin_close_file_descriptor to properly close the IR archive
file descriptor.

This commit has not yet been applied to the master sources in the gcc repository.
It was submitted here: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2021-July/574405.html
The commit allows options to be set for the AR and RANLIB programs used when building libiberty, which in turn allows building with LTO enabled.
Since commit 05b8577206 "gdb/fortran: Add type info of formal parameter for
clang" I see:
...
(gdb) ptype say_string^M
type = void (character*(*), integer(kind=4))^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.fortran/ptype-on-functions.exp: ptype say_string
...
The part of the commit causing the fail is:
...
gdb_test "ptype say_string" \
- "type = void \\(character\\*\\(\\*\\), integer\\(kind=\\d+\\)\\)"
+ "type = void \\(character\[^,\]+, $integer8\\)"
...
which fails to take into account that for gcc-7 and before, the type for
string length of a string argument is int, not size_t.
Fix this by allowing both $integer8 and $integer4.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc-7 and gcc-10.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2021-07-05 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
* gdb.fortran/ptype-on-functions.exp: Allow both $integer8 and

The macOS platform does not provide sigtimedwait, so we get:
CXX compile/compile.o
In file included from /Users/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/compile/compile.c:46:

sigtimedwait (&set, nullptr, &zero_timeout);
^
An alternative to sigtimedwait with a timeout of 0 is to use sigpending,
to first check which signals are pending, and then sigwait, to consume
them. Since that's slightly more expensive (2 syscalls instead of 1),
keep using sigtimedwait for the platforms that provide it, and fall back
to sigpending + sigwait for the others.

The testcase in this PR tickled two bugs fixed here. output_bfd is
NULL when a reloc special_function is called for final linking and
when called from bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents. Clearly
using output_bfd is wrong as it results in segfaults. Not only that,
the endianness of the reloc field really should be that of the input.
The second bug was not checking that the entire reloc field was
contained in the section contents.

The solib_create_inferior_hook call in symbol_file_command was added by
commit ea142fbfc9 ("Fix breakpoints on file reloads for PIE
binaries"). It causes solib_create_inferior_hook to be called while
the inferior is not running, which darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook
does not expect. darwin_solib_get_all_image_info_addr_at_init, in
particular, assumes that there is a current thread, as it tries to get
the current thread's regcache.
Fix it by adding a target_has_execution check and returning early. Note
that there is a similar check in svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook.

Some extern declarations differ in constnes to their definitions too.

* nds32-asm.h: ..here, constifying to match definitions.
Move these options up to the common dir so we only test & export
them once across all ports.
The setting only affects igen based ports, and they were turning
this on by default, so keep the default in place.
This makes the simulator work the same regardless of the target (bare
metal m32r-elf or Linux m32r-linux-gnu) by unifying the traps code.
It was mostly already the same with the only difference being support
for trap #2 reserved for Linux syscalls. We can move that logic to
runtime by checking the current environment operating mode instead.
This improves the logic a bit by making the host<->target translations
a bit more clear. The structs still bleed way too much between the two
worlds, but let's fix one thing at a time.
We don't want to handle Linux syscalls when in the virtual environment,
just the user environment, so adjust the Linux traps logic to check for
that specifically (instead of just skipping the operating environment).
Also tweak some testcases to explicitly specify the environment they run
under rather than relying on the default matching their needs. This gets
the tests passing for all m32r targets.
