gdb.reverse/time-reverse.exp: test both time syscall and C time function
Instead of only testing this on systems that have a SYS_time syscall,
test it everywhere using the time(2) C function, and in addition, run
the tests again using the SYS_time syscall.
The C variant ensures that if some platform uses some syscall we are
not aware of yet, we'll still exercise it, and likely fail, at which
point we should teach GDB about the syscall.
The explicit syscall variant is useful on platforms where the C
function does not call a syscall at all by default, e.g., on some
systems the C time function wraps an implementation provided by the
vDSO.

gdb: add --with-curses to --configuration output

Since

--enable-tui (or --disable-tui), but one might want to know if GDB was
built with curses independently of the availability of the TUI.
Since configure.ac uses AC_SEARCH_LIBS to check for the curses library,
we do not get an automatically defined HAVE_LIBCURSES symbol in
config.in. We do have symbols defined by AC_CHECK_HEADERS
(HAVE_CURSES_H, etc.) but it would be cumbersome to use those in
print_gdb_configuration because we would have to check for all 6 symbols
corresponding the 6 headers listed. This would also increase the
maintenance burden if support for other variations of curses are added.
Instead, define 'HAVE_LIBCURSES' ourselves by adding an
'action-if-found' argument to AC_SEARCH_LIBS, and use it in
print_gdb_configuration.
While at it, remove the condition on 'ac_cv_search_waddstr' and set
'curses_found' directly in 'action-if-found'.

[aarch64] Enable pointer authentication support for aarch64 bare metal/kernel mode addresses
At the moment GDB only handles pointer authentication (pauth) for userspace
addresses and if we're debugging a Linux-hosted program.
The Linux Kernel can be configured to use pauth instructions for some
additional security hardening, but GDB doesn't handle this well.
To overcome this limitation, GDB needs a couple things:
1 - The target needs to advertise pauth support.
2 - The hook to remove non-address bits from a pointer needs to be registered
in aarch64-tdep.c as opposed to aarch64-linux-tdep.c.
There is a patch for QEMU that addresses the first point, and it makes
QEMU's gdbstub expose a couple more pauth mask registers, so overall we will
have up to 4 pauth masks (2 masks or 4 masks):
pauth_dmask
pauth_cmask
pauth_dmask_high
pauth_cmask_high
pauth_dmask and pauth_cmask are the masks used to remove pauth signatures
from userspace addresses. pauth_dmask_high and pauth_cmask_high masks are used
to remove pauth signatures from kernel addresses.
The second point is easily addressed by moving code around.
When debugging a Linux Kernel built with pauth with an unpatched GDB, we get
the following backtrace:
#0 __fput (file=0xffff0000c17a6400) at /repos/linux/fs/file_table.c:296

gdb/doc: Consistency fixes for GDB/MI documentation
I noticed two inconsistencies in the GDB/MI documentation, which this
commit addresses:
1. Each MI command is introduced like this:
@subheading The @code{-command-name} Command
Except for a few of the tracing command, which just use:
@subheading -command-name
In this commit I've updated all these trace commands to use the
more common format.
2. Each MI command starts with a @subheading, and then the details
of that command are split up using multiple @subsubheading
entries.
Except for a few commands which use @subheading for the top-level
command, and then continue to use @subheading for each part of
the command description.
In this commit I've updated these to use @subsubheading where
appropriate.

Fix "start" for D, Rust, etc
The new DWARF indexer broke "start" for some languages.
For D, it is broken because, while the code in cooked_index_shard::add
specifically excludes Ada, it fails to exclude D. This means that the
C "main" will be detected as "main" here -- whereas what is intended
is for the code in find_main_name to use d_main_name to find the name.
The Rust compiler, on the other hand, uses DW_AT_main_subprogram.
However, the code in dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard fails to create a
fully-qualified name, so the name always ends up as plain "main".
For D and Ada, a very simple approach suffices: remove the check
against "main" from cooked_index_shard::add. This also has the
benefit of slightly speeding up DWARF indexing. I assume this
approach will work for Pascal and Modula-2 as well, but I don't have a
way to test those at present.
For Rust, though, this is not sufficient. And, computing the
fully-qualified name in dwarf2_build_psymtabs_hard will crash, because
cooked_index_entry::full_name uses the canonical name -- and that is
not computed until after canonicalization.
However, we don't want to wait for canonicalization to be done before
computing the main name. That would remove any benefit from doing
canonicalization is the background.
This patch solves this dilemma by noticing that languages using
DW_AT_main_subprogram are, currently, disjoint from languages
requiring canonicalization. Because of this, we can add a parameter
to full_name to let us avoid crashes, slowdowns, and races here.
This is kind of tricky and ugly, so I've tried to comment it
sufficiently.
While doing this, I had to change gdb.dwarf2/main-subprogram.exp. A
different possibility here would be to ignore the canonicalization
needs of C in this situation, because those only affect certain types.
However, I chose this approach because the test case is artificial
anyhow.
A long time ago, in an earlier threading attempt, I changed the global
current_language to be a function (hidden behind a macro) to let us
attempt lazily computing the current language. Perhaps this approach
could still be made to work. However, that also seemed rather tricky,
more so than this patch.

Fix multi-threaded debugging under AIX
Multi-threaded debugging using the libpthdebug debug interface
is currently broken due to multiple issues.
When debugging a single inferior, we were getting assertion
failures in get_aix_thread_info as no tp->priv structure was
allocated for the main thread.
We fixed this by switching the main
thread from a (pid, 0, 0) ptid_t to a (pid, 0, tid) ptid_t and
allocaing the tp->priv structure in sync_threadlists.
As a result, the switch_to_thread call in pdc_read_data could
now fail since the main thread no longer uses (pid, 0, 0).
So we replaced the call by only switching inferior_ptid, the current
inferior, and the current address space (like proc-service.c).
Add similar switching to pdc_write_data where it was missing
completely.
When debugging multiple inferiors, an additional set of
problems prevented correct multi-threaded debugging:
First of all, aix-thread.c used to have a number of global
variables holding per-inferior information.
We switched hese
to a per-inferior data structure instead.
Also, sync_threadlists was getting confused as we were
comparing the list of threads returned by libpthdebug
for *one* process with GDB's list of threads for *all*
processes. Now we only use he GDB threads of the current
inferior instead.
We also skip calling pd_activate
from pd_enable if that in_initial_library_scan flag is
true for the current inferior.
Finally, the presence of the thread library in any but
the first inferior was not correctly detected due to a
bug in solib-aix.c, where the BFD file name for shared
library members was changed when the library was loaded
for the first time, which caused the library to no longer
be recognized by name when loaded a second time.

This is not related to gdb, we get the same result by just running the exec.
The problem is that the test-case:

initialization for calling glibc's _exit on the test-case itself.
So, when we get to the second insn in _exit:

40acb3: 64 4c 8b 14 25 00 00 mov %fs:0x0,%r10

no glibc-related initialization is done, and we run into the segfault.
Adding this (borrowed from __libc_start_main) in _start in the .S file is
sufficient to fix it:
...
.rept 200
nop
+ call __pthread_initialize_minimal
.endr
...
But that already doesn't compile with say glibc 2.31, and regardless I think
this sort of fix is too fragile.
We could of course fix this by simply not running to exit. But ideally we'd
have an exec that doesn't segfault when you just run it.
Alternatively, we could hand-code an _exit syscall and bypass glibc
all together. But I'd rather fix this in a way that simplifies the test-case.
Taking a step back, the -nostartfiles -static was added to address that the
xmm registers were not zero at main (which AFAICT is a valid thing to happen).
[ The change itself silently broke the test-case, needing further fixing by
commit
40310f30a51 ("gdb: make gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp actually test
displaced stepping"). ]
Instead, simplify things by reverting to the original situation:
- no -nostartfiles -static compilation flags,
- no _start in the .S file,
- use exit instead of _exit in the .S file,
and fix the original problem by setting the xmm registers to zero rather than
checking that they're zero.
Now that we're no longer forcing -static, add nopie to the flags to prevent
compilation failure with target board unix/-fPIE/-pie.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

PR30046, power cmpi leads to unknown architecture
PowerPC ELF always uses bfd_arch_powerpc, so we shouldn't allow the
gas -mpwr, -mpwr2 or -mpwrx options to choose bfd_arch_rs6000.
Given the possible values of ppc_cpu, I think the as_fatal at the end
of ppc_arch will never be reached, so it can be deleted and the code
simplified a little.

x86/gas: replace inappropriate assertion when parsing registers
PR gas/30117
Once a symbol had its expression evaluated, the "segment" of the symbol
may be reg_section if a register is merely involved in the expression,
not just when the expression references a "plain" register. Therefore
the first of the assertions put in place by
4d1bb7955a8b was too strict.
Convert it to an if() to deal with situations like this one found by
fuzzing:
x=s
s=%eax+0
y=s
or $6,x
In non-debug builds this also avoids potentially silently generating bad
code.
