when executing display_debug_ranges for say, section .debug_rnglists it also
tries to use the range list references related to section .debug_ranges.
Fix this by filtering out the .debug_range references when handling
.debug_rnglists and vice versa.

The problem originates in read_array_type, when reading a DW_TAG_array_type
with a dwarf-5 DW_TAG_generic_subrange child. This is not supported, and the
fallout of this is that rather than constructing a new array type, the code
proceeds to modify the element type.
Fix this conservatively by issuing a complaint and bailing out in

It was pointed out:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-February/175750.html
that commit 82a1fd3a49 caused GDB to have an unconditional
dependency on ELF specific parts of BFD. What this means is that if
GDB and BFD are built for a non-elf target then there will be
undefined symbol references within GDB.
The right solution isn't immediately obvious. So rather than rush a

I have a good solution.

With a certain Ada program, ada-lang.c:coerce_unspec_val_to_type can
cause a crash. This function may copy a value, and in the particular
case in the crash, the new value's type is smaller than the original
type. This causes coerce_unspec_val_to_type to create a lazy value --
but the original value is also not_lval, so later, when the value is
un-lazied, gdb asserts.
As with the previous patch, we believe there is a compiler bug here,
but it is difficult to reproduce, so we're not completely certain.
In the particular case we saw, the original value has record type, and
the record holds some variable-length arrays. This leads to the
type's length being 0. At the same time, the value is optimized out.
This patch changes coerce_unspec_val_to_type to handle an
optimized-out value correctly.
It also slightly restructures this code to avoid a crash should a
not_lval value wind up here. This is a purely defensive change.
This change also made it clear that value_contents_copy_raw can now be
made static, so that is also done.

resolve_dynamic_struct says:

However, a certain Ada program has a structure with no fields but with

The test expects the ifunc resolver to run lazily, at a later stage.
Depending on the distro and toolchain configuration, this is not the
case. Some configurations use non-lazy binding and thus the ifunc resolver
resolves all the ifunc references very early in the process startup, before
main.
Ubuntu is one such case. It has switched its toolchains to pass -Wl,z,now by
default, since 16.04. This wasn't a problem before 20.04 (at least for
aarch64) because the toolchains did not support ifunc's.
Forcing lazy binding makes the test run as expected, as opposed to the 80 or
so failures it showed before the change.

When stepping over thread-lock related codes (in uClibc), the inferior process

3 {
4 size_t retval;

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.

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

and 'elf/common.h', so these no longer need to be explicitly included
from load.c.
In trace.c and include for trace.h is missing, again this results in
GCC warnings for missing function declarations.
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* load.c: Replace 'elf/internal.h' and 'elf/common.h' includes
with 'elf-bfd.h' include.
* trace.c: Add 'trace.h' include.
Silence a GCC compiler warning by using PRIx64 in printf format string
instead of hard coded "llx".
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* reg.c (trace_register_changes): Use PRIx64 in printf format
string.
For sim code variables still need to be declared at the start of the
enclosing block. This silences a few GCC warnings.
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* syscalls.c (rx_syscall): Move declaration of some variables to
the start of the enclosing block.
* trace.c (load_file_and_line): Likewise.
Calling printf with the format being a non constant string results in
a GCC warning:
warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-nonliteral]
Provide a constant format string to printf in the few places this
warning is triggered.
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* reg.c (fpsw2str): Provide a format string to printf.
(trace_register_changes): Likewise.
Some functions that should be marked static.
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* fpu.c (check_exceptions): Make static.
* gdb-if.c (handle_step): Likewise.
* mem.c (mem_put_byte): Likewise.
While experimenting with switching on warnings for the rx simulator I
discovered this bug. In sim_do_command we get passed a 'const char *'
argument. We create a copy of this string to work with locally, but
then while processing this we accidentally switch back to reference
the original string.
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* gdb-if.c (sim_do_command): Work with a copy of the command.
The rx simulator doesn't define sim_memory_map and so fails to link
with GDB. Define it now to return NULL, this can be extended later to
return an actual memory map if anyone wants this functionality.
sim/rx/ChangeLog:
* gdb-if.c (sim_memory_map): New function.
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.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-interp.c (tui_command_line_handler): New function.
(tui_interp::resume): Register tui_command_line_handler as the
input_handler.
* tui/tui-io.c (tui_inject_newline_into_command_window): New
function.
(tui_getc_1): Delete handling of '\n' and '\r'.
* tui-io.h (tui_inject_newline_into_command_window): Declare.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.tui/scroll.exp: Tighten expected results. Remove comment
about bug in GDB, update expected results, and add more tests.
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.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.tui/scroll.exp: New file.
* gdb.tui/tui-layout-asm-short-prog.exp: Update expected results.

If the regs window is not big enough to show all registers, the
registers whose values changed are always drawn, even if they are not
in the currently visible area.
So this marks the invisible register sub windows with y=0, and skips
their rerender call in check_register_values.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2021-02-07 Hannes Domani <ssbssa@yahoo.de>
* tui/tui-regs.c (tui_data_window::display_registers_from):
Mark invisible register sub windows.
(tui_data_window::check_register_values): Ignore invisible
register sub windows.
Function n_spaces can't handle negative values, and returns an invalid

* tui/tui-regs.c (tui_data_item_window::rerender): Don't call
n_spaces with a negative value.
Otherwise the register window is redrawn empty when scrolling or
changing its size with winheight.

* tui/tui-regs.c (tui_data_window::display_registers_from):
Add refresh_window call.
The last frame in a corrupt stack stores the frame_id of the next frame,
so these two frames currently compare as equal.
So if you have a backtrace where the oldest frame is corrupt, this happens:
(gdb) py
>f = gdb.selected_frame()
>while f.older():
> f = f.older()
>print(f == f.newer())
>end
True
With this change, that same example returns False.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2021-02-07 Hannes Domani <ssbssa@yahoo.de>
* python/py-frame.c (frapy_richcompare): Compare frame_id_is_next.
Printing "invalid" is better than printing an uninitialised buffer
and occasionally running off the end of the buffer.
* unwind-ia64.c (unw_print_xyreg): Don't leave output buffer
uninitialised on invalid input.
