The primary issue this patch fixes is the DWARF register mapping for Linux. The changes in ppc-linux-tdep.c fix the DWARF register mapping issues. The register mapping issue is responsible for two of the five regression bugs seen in gdb.base/store.exp. Once the register mapping was fixed, an underlying issue with the unwinding of the signal trampoline in common-code in ifrun.c was found. This underlying bug is best described by Ulrich in the following description. The unwinder bug shows up on platforms where the kernel uses a trampoline to dispatch "calls to" the signal handler (not just *returns from* the signal handler). Many platforms use a trampoline for signal return, and that is working fine, but the only platform I'm (Ulrich) aware of that uses a trampoline for signal handler calls is (recent kernels for) PowerPC. I believe the rationale for using a trampoline here is to improve performance by avoiding unbalancing of the branch predictor's call/return stack. However, on PowerPC the bug is dormant as well as it is hidden by *another* bug that prevents correct unwinding out of the signal trampoline. This is because the custom CFI for the trampoline uses a register number (VSCR) that is not ever used by compiler-generated CFI, and that particular register is mapped to an invalid number by the current PowerPC DWARF mapper. The underlying unwinder bug is exposed by the "new" regression failures in gdb.base/sigstep.exp. These failures were previously masked by the fact that GDB was not seeing a valid frame when it tried to unwind the frames. The sigstep.exp test is specifically testing stepping into a signal handler. With the correct DWARF register mapping in place, specifically the VSCR mapping, the signal trampoline code now unwinds to a valid frame exposing the pre-existing bug in how the signal handler on PowerPC works. The one line change infrun.c fixes the exiting bug in the common-code for platforms that use a trampoline to dispatch calls to the signal handler by not stopping in the SIGTRAMP_FRAME. Detailed description of the DWARF register mapping fix. The PowerPC DWARF register mapping is the same for the .eh_frame and .debug_frame on Linux. PowerPC uses different mapping for .eh_frame and .debug_frame on other operating systems. The current GDB support for mapping the DWARF registers in rs6000_linux_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum and rs6000_adjust_frame_regnum file gdb/rs6000-tdep.c is not correct for Linux. The files have some legacy mappings for spe_acc, spefscr, EV which was removed from GCC in 2017. This patch adds a two new functions rs6000_linux_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum, and rs6000_linux_adjust_frame_regnum in file gdb/ppc-linux-tdep.c to handle the DWARF register mappings on Linux. Function rs6000_linux_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum is installed for both gdb_dwarf_to_regnum and gdbarch_stab_reg_to_regnum since the mappings are the same. The ppc_linux_init_abi function in gdb/ppc-linux-tdep.c is updated to call set_gdbarch_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum map the new function rs6000_linux_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum for the architecture. Similarly, dwarf2_frame_set_adjust_regnum is called to map rs6000_linux_adjust_frame_regnum into the architecture. Additional detail on the signal handling fix. The specific sequence of events for handling a signal on most architectures is as follows: 1) Some code is running when a signal arrives. 2) The kernel handles the signal and dispatches to the handler. ... However on PowerPC the sequence of events is: 1) Some code is running when a signal arrives. 2) The kernel handles the signal and dispatches to the trampoline. 3) The trampoline performs a normal function call to the handler. ... We want the "nexti" to step into, not over, signal handlers invoked by the kernel. This is the case for most platforms as the kernel puts a signal trampoline frame onto the stack to handle proper return after the handler. However, on some platforms such as PowerPC, the kernel actually uses a trampoline to handle *invocation* of the handler. We do not want GDB to stop in the SIGTRAMP_FRAME. The issue is fixed in function process_event_stop_test by adding a check that the frame is not a SIGTRAMP_FRAME to the if statement to stop in a subroutine call. This prevents GDB from erroneously detecting the trampoline invocation as a subroutine call. This patch fixes two regression test failures in gdb.base/store.exp. The patch then fixes an exposed, dormant, signal handling issue that is exposed in the signal handling test gdb.base/sigstep.exp. The patch has been tested on Power 8 LE/BE, Power 9 LE/BE, Power 10 with no new regressions. Note, only two of the five failures in store.exp are fixed. The remaining three failures are fixed in a following patch. --- diff --git a/gdb/infrun.c b/gdb/infrun.c index 4fde96800fb..4c7eb9be792 100644 --- a/gdb/infrun.c +++ b/gdb/infrun.c @@ -7336,8 +7336,21 @@ process_event_stop_test (struct execution_control_state *ecs) initial outermost frame, before sp was valid, would have code_addr == &_start.
