BFD handles ELF relocation sections in an executable differently to
relocation sections in a relocatable object. For a relocatable
object, BFD carries the relocations as data associated with the
section to which they apply; The relocation section doesn't appear as
a separate section. For an executable, dynamic relocation sections do
appear as separate sections. This means that objcopy needs to use
different strategies when dealing with relocations.
When --remove-relocations was added to objcopy with commit
d3e5f6c8f1, objcopy lost the ability to remove dynamic relocation
sections such as .rela.plt from executables using the option
"--remove-section=.rela.plt". This patch reinstates that
functionality.
I thought it best to keep --remove-relocations as is, rather than
extending to handle dynamic relocations as per the patch in the PR,
because executables linked with --emit-relocs may have both dynamic
and non-dynamic relocations. In that case --remove-relocataions=* is
useful to remove all the non-dynamic relocations.

Consider the following function, which takes no parameter and returns
an integer:
function Something return Integer;
For the purpose of this discussion, our function has been implemented
to always return 124:
function Something return Integer is
begin
return 124;
end Something;
In Ada, such function can been called without using the parentheses.
For instance, in the statement below, variable My_Value is assigned
the returned value from the call to Something:
My_Value := Something;
The Ada expression interpeter in GDB supports this case, as we can
see below:
(gdb) print something
$1 = 124
However, we get fairly strange results when trying to use this feature
as part of a larger expression. For instance:
(gdb) print something + 1
$2 = 248
The problem occurs while doing the resolution pass of the expression.
After prefixying the expression, we obtain the following expression:
0 BINOP_ADD
1 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
5 OP_LONG Type @0x1e3c170 (int), value 1 (0x1)
The resolution pass is then expected to remove the OP_VAR_VALUE
entry, and replace it with an OP_FUNCALL. This is what the call
to replace_operator_with_call in ada-lang.c::resolve_subexp is
expected to do:
if (deprocedure_p
&& (TYPE_CODE (SYMBOL_TYPE (exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol))
== TYPE_CODE_FUNC))
{
replace_operator_with_call (expp, pc, 0, 0,
exp->elts[pc + 2].symbol,
exp->elts[pc + 1].block);
exp = expp->get ();
}
The problem is that we're passing OPLEN (zero -- 4th parameter in
the call), and so replace_operator_with_call ends up removing zero
element from our expression, and inserting the corresponding OP_FUNCALL
instead. As a result, instead of having the OP_LONG (1) as the second
argument of the BINOP_ADD, it is now the OP_VAR_VALUE that we were
meant to replace. That OP_VAR_VALUE then itself gets transformed into
an OP_FUNCALL, with the same issue, and eventually, the resolved
expression now looks like this:
0 BINOP_ADD
1 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
4 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
8 OP_FUNCALL Number of args: 0
11 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
15 OP_VAR_VALUE Block @0x2021550, symbol @0x20213a0 (pck.something)
19 OP_LONG Type @0x1e3c170 (int), value 1 (0x1)
This explains why we get twice the result of the function call
instead of its value plus one. The extra entries in the expression
at the end are just ignored.
This patch fixes the issue by calling replace_operator_with_call
with the correct OPLEN equal to the size of an OP_VAR_VALUE (4).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (resolve_subexp): Pass correct OPLEN in call to
replace_operator_with_call.

Consider the following code:
type Enumerated is (Enum_A, Enum_B, Enum_C, Enum_Last);
type Table is array (Enumerated) of Integer;
-- Declare a variable of type Table to make sure the compiler
-- does emit the debugging information for that type.
V : Table := (others => 1);
Trying to print the type description of type Table, or of variable V
yields:
(gdb) ptype v
type = array (0 .. 3) of integer
(gdb) ptype example.table
type = array (0 .. 3) of integer
The compiler generates an XA type for the bounds...
<1><cf6>: Abbrev Number: 13 (DW_TAG_structure_type)
<cf7> DW_AT_name : example__table___XA
... whose member is described as being as:
<2><cfe>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_member)
<cff> DW_AT_name : example__enumerated
<d05> DW_AT_type : <0xc69>
This leads us to DIE 0xc69, which is our enumeration type:
<2><c69>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_enumeration_type)
<c6a> DW_AT_name : example__enumerated
Normally, for arrays, we expect a range type, rather than an enumerated
type. However, for a situation like this, where the range of the array
index is the full enumeration type, it seems like a waste to require
an extra range layer.
Instead, looking at print_range, we see that we print the bounds
of our range using the target type:
target_type = TYPE_TARGET_TYPE (type);
if (target_type == NULL)
target_type = type;
[...]
ada_print_scalar (target_type, lo, stream);
fprintf_filtered (stream, " .. ");
ada_print_scalar (target_type, hi, stream);
In this case, this causes us to use the enumerated type's subtype,
which is a plain integer type, hence the output we get. However,
there is no reason for using the target type, even in the TYPE_CODE_RANGE
situation. So this patch fixes the issue by simply printing the bounds
using the type being given, instead of its target type.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-typeprint.c (print_range): Print the bounds using TYPE
rather than its TYPE_TARGET_TYPE.
A new test for this isn't necessary, as existing tests will demonstrate
this issue once a change in the compiler triggering the generation of
this type of debugging info gets pushed.
The arguments in the call to ada_to_fixed_value_create where
improperly aligned. But I also noticed that all the arguments
do fit on a single-line (up to 79 characters). So this patch
just fixes the code by putting everything on that same line.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_to_fixed_value): Minor reformatting in
call to ada_to_fixed_value_create.
On PPC64, the entry point of the function "FN" is ".FN" when a function
descriptor is used. One of the consequences of this is that GDB then
presents the name of the function to the user (eg: in backtraces) with
the leading dot, which is a low-level internal detail that the user
should not be seeing. The Ada decoding should strip it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_decode): strip dot prefix in symbol name.
No testcase added, as a number of existing testcases should already
demonstrate that problem.
We noticed while debugging a program compiled without assertions
enabled and using an older compiler that inserting a catchpoint
on failed assertions would cause an internal error:
(gdb) catch assert
../../src/gdb/ada-lang.c:13321: internal-error: ada_exception_sal:
Assertion`sym != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
This is due to a combination of factors:
1. With older versions of the compiler, the function used as a hook
was provided by a unit that's different from the unit which
provides the hooks for the other exception catchpoints.
2. The program either does not use any assertion, or is compiled
without the assertions enabled.
With newer versions of the compiler, all such functions are provided
by the same unit, so should normally always be available. However,
there can still be reasons why this is not the case. Consider, for
instance, the case of a runtime compiled with -ffunction-sections,
in which case the hook might be eliminated unless assertions are
used and enabled.
So this patch transforms the internal error into a simple error.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_exception_sal): Replace gdb_assert calls
by calls to error.
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
When debugging a program compiled with an older version of GNAT,
hitting a catchpoint on unhandled exceptions can caused GDB to
got into an infinite loop. This happens while trying to find
the name of the exception that was raised. For that, it searches
for a frame corresponding to a specific function we know gets
called during the exeption handling.
In our particular case, the compiler was too old, and so GDB never
found that frame, and eventually got past the "main" subprogram,
all the way to system frames, where no symbol was available.
As a result, the code addresses could not be resolved into
a function name, leading to the infinite loop because of
a misplaced update of our loop variable "fi":
while (fi != NULL)
{
char *func_name;
enum language func_lang;
find_frame_funname (fi, &func_name, &func_lang, NULL);
if (func_name != NULL)
{
make_cleanup (xfree, func_name);
if (strcmp (func_name,
data->exception_info->catch_exception_sym) == 0)
break; /* We found the frame we were looking for... */
fi = get_prev_frame (fi);
}
}
If FUNC_NAME is NULL, then FI never gets updated ever after!
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (ada_unhandled_exception_name_addr_from_raise):
Move update of loop variable "fi".
No testcase added, as the existing testcase gdb.ada/catch_ex.exp
should trigger it when using an older version of GNAT as the Ada
compiler.
Consider a variable "PRA" defined as a packed array of packed
records as follow:
subtype Int is Integer range 0 .. 7;
type Packed_Rec is record
X, Y : Int;
W : Integer;
end record;
pragma Pack (Packed_Rec);
type Packed_RecArr is array (Integer range <>) of Packed_Rec;
pragma Pack (Packed_RecArr);
PRA : Packed_RecArr (1 .. 3);
Consider also a variable "PR", which is a Packed_Rec record,
declared as follow:
PR : Packed_Rec := (2, 2, 2);
Trying to assign a new value to PRA using an aggregate expression
where one of the components is our variable PR yields the wrong
result on big-endian machines (e.g. on ppc-linux):
(gdb) p pra := (pr, (2,2,2), (2,2,2))
$6 = ((x => 1, y => 0, w => 8), [...]
On the other hand, replacing "pr" by "(2,2,2)" does work.
I tracked the issue down to the bit offset we use to extract
the value of "PR" and copy it inside PRA. in value_assign_to_component,
we have:
if (gdbarch_bits_big_endian (get_type_arch (value_type (container))))
move_bits ([target buffer], [bit offset in target buffer],
[source buffer where PR is stored],
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (component)) * TARGET_CHAR_BIT - bits,
bits, 1);
The issue is with the third-to-last argument, which provides the bit
offset where the value of PR is stored relative to its start address,
and therefore the bit offset relative to the start of the source
buffer passed as the previous argument.
In our case, component is a 38bit packed record whose TYPE_LENGTH
is 5 bytes, so the bit-offset that gets calculated is 2 (bits).
However, that formula only really applies to scalars, whereas
in our case, we have a record (struct). The offset in the non-scalar
case should be zero.

After looking into why the build failed for Simon but not for me, we
found that the underlying cause was due to how gcc treats

warning.m4 was not doing this, so -Wformat-nonliteral was not being

This patch changes warning.m4 to account gcc's requirement.

Consider a vla variable 'a' in function f1:
...
<2><1a7>: Abbrev Number: 11 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1a8> DW_AT_description : a
<1aa> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x311>
...
with abstract origin 'a':
...
<2><311>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_variable)
<312> DW_AT_name : a
<317> DW_AT_type : <0x325>
...
and inherited abstract vla type:
...
<1><325>: Abbrev Number: 9 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<326> DW_AT_type : <0x33a>
<2><32e>: Abbrev Number: 10 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<32f> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<333> DW_AT_upper_bound : 5 byte block: fd 1b 3 0 0
(DW_OP_GNU_variable_value: <0x31b>)
...
where the upper bound refers to this artificial variable D.1922 without location
attribute:
...
<2><31b>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_variable)
<31c> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x39a): D.1922
<320> DW_AT_type : <0x2ea>
<324> DW_AT_artificial : 1
...
Currently, when we execute "p sizeof (a)" in f1, the upper bound is calculated
by evaluating the DW_OP_GNU_variable_value expression referring to D.1922, but
since that die doesn't have a location attribute, we get:
...
value has been optimized out
...
However, there's also artificial variable D.4283 that is sibling of vla
variable 'a', has artificial variable D.1922 as abstract origin, and has a
location attribute:
...
<2><1ae>: Abbrev Number: 12 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1af> DW_AT_description : (indirect string, offset: 0x1f8): D.4283
<1b3> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x31b>
<1b7> DW_AT_location : 11 byte block: 75 1 8 20 24 8 20 26 31 1c 9f
(DW_OP_breg5 (rdi):1; DW_OP_const1u: 32;
DW_OP_shl; DW_OP_const1u: 32; DW_OP_shra;
DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus; DW_OP_stack_value)
...
The intended behaviour for DW_OP_GNU_variable_value is to find a die that
refers to D.1922 as abstract origin, has a location attribute and is
'in scope', so the expected behaviour is:
...
$1 = 6
...
The 'in scope' concept can be thought of as variable D.1922 having name
attribute "D.1922", and variable D.4283 inheriting that attribute, resulting
in D.4283 being declared with name "D.1922" alongside vla a in f1, and when we
lookup "DW_OP_GNU_variable_value D.1922", it should work as if we try to find
the value of a variable named "D.1922" on the gdb command line using
"p D.1922", and we should return the value of D.4283.
This patch fixes the case described above, by:
- adding a field abstract_to_concrete to struct dwarf2_per_objfile,
- using that field to keep track of which concrete dies are instances of an
abstract die, and
- using that information when getting the value DW_OP_GNU_variable_value.

out of range, following the same behavior implemented in both the
generic ELF routines and other ELF backends (such as mips64).
Tested in x86_64-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, and
--enable-targets=all.

* elf64-sparc.c (elf64_sparc_slurp_one_reloc_table): Issue an
error when an invalid symbol index is retrieved in ELF64_R_SYM of
a relocation seen in an input file.
When we update gnulib using our "update-gnulib.sh" tool, it doesn't
automatically update the list of M4 files present at
gnulib/Makefile.in:aclocal_m4_deps. This patch extends the tool to do
that. It also puts "aclocal_m4_deps" in its own file (a Makefile
fragment), so that it's easier to update it programatically.
Tested by generating the file and diff'ing the results against the
current version of "aclocal_m4_deps".

Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gnulib/Makefile.in (aclocal_m4_deps): Move to
"aclocal-m4-deps.mk". Include file here.
$(srcdir)/aclocal.m4: Add "configure.ac".
* gnulib/aclocal-m4-deps.mk: New file.
* gnulib/update-gnulib.sh: Automatically update
"aclocal-m4-deps.mk".
gdb's configure script accepts --enable-multi-ice, but the code this
refers to is long gone. This patch removes the option entirely.

* configure: Rebuild.
* configure.ac: Remove multi-ice code.
The ada-exp.o rule no longer needs to pass -Wno-old-style-definition
to the compiler, as this option has no meaning in C++. So, This patch
simplifies the explicit ada-exp.o rule in the Makefile. The rule is
still needed because, according to the comment, ada-exp.c may appear
in the srcdir.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-09-04 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* Makefile.in (GDB_WARN_CFLAGS_NO_DEFS): Remove.
(ada-exp.o): Update.
Makefile.in had special cases to compile printcmd.o and target-float.o
with a different set of warnings. However, this is no longer
required, so this patch removes those rules.

2018-09-04 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* Makefile.in (printcmd.o, target-float.o): Remove.
(GDB_WARN_CFLAGS_NO_FORMAT): Remove.
This removes an obsolete comment from Makefile.in. This was copied
into gnulib/Makefile.in, so this removes that comment as well.

* Makefile.in: Remove obsolete comment.
This commit adds calls to remote_close and clear_gdb_spawn_id to
gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp, fixing failures reported by buildbot
on Fedora 28 where gdb_spawn_id not being reset by the previous test
caused default_gdb_spawn to return without spawning.
This commit also changes the test to use detect GDB's exit using
gdb_test_multiple expecting 'eof', rather than using 'wait -i' alone.
This means the testcase won't hang forever on failure as fixed in
gdb.base/quit.exp by commit 15763a09d4 ("Fix 'gdb.base/quit.exp
hangs forever' if the test fails").
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/batch-exit-status.exp: Use gdb_test_multiple and expect
'eof' before 'wait -i'. Use remote_close and clear_gdb_spawn_id.
