I noticed there was an unexpected pass in mi-watch.exp when running on
x86_64. Doing a bit of archeology shows that the xfail was added by
4a543da. This particular test failed on the MIPS architecture, which
the original contributor was working with. Here is the thread:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-09/msg00151.html
Looking at the latest buildbot results for MIPS, it seems that it's also
an unexpected pass on that architecture. Therefore, I see no reason to
leave the xfail in place.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.mi/mi-watch.exp (test_watchpoint_triggering): Remove xfail.
Since GCC 5 folds symbol address comparison, assuming each symbol has a
different address, &foo == &bar is always false for GCC 5. This patch
adds check_ptr_eq if 2 addresses are the same and uses it to check the
address of versined symbol.

GDB currently does not promptly quit after receiving a SIGTERM while no
proper target is active. This is because in handle_sigterm we currently
look at target_can_async_p to determine whether to asynchronously quit
GDB using an async signal handler or to asynchronously quit using the
quit flag. However, target_can_async_p is always false under the dummy
target, so under this target we always use the quit flag and not the
async signal handler to signal that GDB should quit. So GDB won't quit
until a code path that checks the quit flag is executed.
To fix this issue, this patch makes the SIGTERM handler no longer
inspect target_can_async_p, and instead makes the handler
unconditionally set the quit flag _and_ mark the corresponding async
signal handler, so that if the target is async (or if it's the dummy
target) then we will likely quit through the async signal handler, and
if it's not async then we will likely quit through the quit flag. This
redundant approach is similar to how we handle SIGINT.

* event-top.c (handle_sigterm): Don't inspect
target_can_async_p. Always set the quit flag and always mark

When using GDB to debug an RX target using the GDB remote protocol,
using a Renesas supplied debug agent, I encountered the following
assertion error:
thread.c:85: internal-error: inferior_thread: Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Create a core file of GDB? (y or n) n
Command aborted.
This assertion error occurs due to the fact that the value associated
with inferior_ptid is not on the thread list.
The remote debug output (obtained with "set debug remote 1") is fairly
short, so I will include it up to the point where things go wrong -
which is somewhat before the assertion failure:

Above is the trace starting from the invocation of "target remote"
through the call of get_current_thread() in remote_start_remote().
Below, I've pasted this line of code along with additional lines of
context. The test following the call is especially important to
understanding both the problem and my patch.
/* We have thread information; select the thread the target
says should be current. If we're reconnecting to a
multi-threaded program, this will ideally be the thread
that last reported an event before GDB disconnected. */
inferior_ptid = get_current_thread (wait_status);
if (ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
{
/* Odd... The target was able to list threads, but not
tell us which thread was current (no "thread"
register in T stop reply?). Just pick the first
thread in the thread list then. */
inferior_ptid = thread_list->ptid;
}
}
Prior to getting to the code pasted above, remote_start_remote()
made a call to target_update_thread_list(). This corresponds to the
following lines from the above trace:
Sending packet: $qfThreadInfo#bb...Packet received: m1
Sending packet: $qsThreadInfo#c8...Packet received: l
Sending packet: $qAttached:a410#bf...Packet received: 0
Packet qAttached (query-attached) is supported
Once target_update_thread_list has completed, the thread list
contains a single entry: {pid = 42000, lwp = 1, tid = 0}.
remote_start_remote() then makes a call to set_continue_thread(),
accounting for this line of the trace:
Sending packet: $Hc-1#09...Packet received: OK
Finally, the call to get_current_thread() is responsible for the last
line of the trace that I provided above:
Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
get_current_thread() calls stop_reply_extract_thread() with the wait
status. This returns null_ptid.
get_current_thread() then calls remote_current_thread with a null
inferior_ptid. After the calls to putpkt() and getpkt(), rs->buf[0]
is 'Q', so read_ptid() is called and its result is returned.
The buffer passed to read_ptid() is " not supported". read_ptid ultimately
returns a ptid of {pid = 4200, lwp = 0, tid = 0}.
However, this thread is not on the thread list. As noted earlier, the
call to target_update_thread_list() had placed {pid = 42000, lwp = 1,
tid = 0} on the list. This is the only thread in the list.
When these calls ultimately return to remote_start_remote(),
inferior_ptid gets set to {pid = 4200, lwp = 0, tid = 0}, which
(again) is not on the thread list.
It appears to me that the string " not supported" is coming from the
debug agent. If so, it should be fixed, but I don't see a reason to
not consult the thread list in order to place a valid thread id in
inferior_ptid.
This (consultation of the thread list) is what is done when
inferior_ptid is null_ptid:
if (ptid_equal (inferior_ptid, null_ptid))
{
/* Odd... The target was able to list threads, but not
tell us which thread was current (no "thread"
register in T stop reply?). Just pick the first
thread in the thread list then. */
inferior_ptid = thread_list->ptid;
}
My patch causes a null inferior_ptid to be returned by read_ptid when
no thread id is found in the response from the debug agent. This
return value ends up being returned by remote_current_thread() and
then by get_current_thread. The assignment then places this null
value into inferior_ptid. That, in turn, allows the ptid_equal test
(noted above) to fetch a valid thread from the thread list. I no
longer see the assertion failure due a good value (which is on the
thread list) being placed in inferior_ptid.
This patch also adds two log warnings that may be output when "set
debug remote 1" is used. When running against the Renesas debug agent
mentioned earlier, this is the relevant portion of the log output:
Sending packet: $qC#b4...Packet received: QC not supported
warning: garbage in qC reply
warning: couldn't determine remote current thread; picking first in list.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* remote.c (read_ptid): Return null_ptid when no thread id
is found.

The initial import commit failed to retain local changes made to
readline's configure.in (and the commit message erroneously stated that
there were no local changes that needed to be reapplied). Also the
import caused a couple of build errors and a scattering of testsuite
regressions throughout many arches. It's probably better to start over
with this import, hopefully more carefully next time.

Since the sync to version 7.0-alpho, readline now by default builds
(unused) shared libraries alongside static libraries, whereas before it
only built static libraries. A couple of GDB buildbots were not happy
with this change:
http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/AIX-POWER7-plain/builds/240http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/Fedora-i686/builds/1518
To get these buildbots building again, this patch alters readline's
configure.ac file to not build shared libraries by default, as was the
case with readline 6.2. A more permanent fix may be to alter the
top-level Makefile.def to pass --disable-shared to readline, or to
investigate why these building these shared libraries are giving the
buildbots trouble. (I think the proximate reason why the i686 buildbot
fails is because it passes CFLAGS=-m32 instead of CC="gcc -m32" to the
top-level configure script, and readline's linker commands don't inherit
CFLAGS. Not sure about the AIX failure.)

This patch syncs our upstream copy of readline from version 6.2 to the
latest version, 7.0 alpha (released July 10 2015).
I essentially copied what was done the last time readline was synced,
when Jan updated to readline 6.2 in 2011:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-05/msg00003.html
Procedure:
1. I extracted the readline-7.0-alpha tarball on top of readline/.
2. I deleted all the new files under doc/ that were deliberately omitted
before.
3. I regenerated readline/configure and readline/examples/rlfe/configure
using autoconf 2.64. No other configure files need regenerating.
4. I updated the function gdb_printable_part in completer.c with a
trivial change made to the readline function it is based off of,
printable_part in readline/complete.c. There is more work to be done in
completer.c to sync it with readline/complete.c, but it is non-trivial
and should probably be done separately anyway.
Local patches that had to be reapplied:
None. readline 7.0 alpha contains all of our local readline
patches.
New files in readline/:
colors.{c,h}
examples/{hist_erasedups,hist_purgecmd,rl-callbacktest,rlbasic}.c
parse-colors.{c,h}
readline.pc.in
configure.ac
Deleted files in readline/:
configure.in
Regressions:
After the sync there is one testsuite regression, the test
"signal SIGINT" in gdb.gdb/selftest.exp which now FAILs. Previously,
the readline 6.2 SIGINT handler would temporarily reinstall the
underlying application's SIGINT handler and immediately re-raise SIGINT
so that the orginal handler gets invoked. But now (since readline 6.3)
its SIGINT handler does not re-raise SIGINT or directly invoke the
original handler; it now sets a flag marking that SIGINT was raised, and
waits until readline explicitly has control to call the application's
SIGINT handler. Anyway, because SIGINT is no longer re-raised from
within readline's SIGINT handler, doing "signal SIGINT" with a stopped
inferior gdb process will no longer resume and then immediately stop the
process (since there is no 2nd SIGINT to immediately catch). Instead,
the inferior gdb process will now just print "Quit" and continue to run.
So with this commit, this particular test case is adjusted to reflect
this change in behavior (we now have to send a 2nd SIGINT manually to
stop it).
Aside from this one testsuite regression, I personally noticed no
regression in user-visible behavior. Though I only tested on x86_64
and on i686 Debian Stretch.
Getting this kind of change in at the start of the GDB 7.11 development
cycle will allow us to get a lot of passive testing from developers and
from bleeding-edge users.
