PR30326, uninitialised value in objdump compare_relocs
This is a fuzzing PR, with a testcase involving a SHF_ALLOC and

of the code reading relocs using sh_size (often no bfd section is
created) but in the case of SHF_ALLOC dynamic relocs we had some code
using the bfd section size. This led to a mismatch, sh_size is

modify bfd_reinit to make the bfd file backed again. Restoring the

One more detail: If restoring from file backed to in-memory then the

The bfd_elf_hash loop is taken straight from the sysV document, but it

1) The if (..) is meaningless -- we're xoring with that value, and of
course xor 0 is a nop. On x86 (at least) we actually compute the xor'd
value and then cmov. Removing the if test removes the cmov.
2) The 'h ^ g' to clear the top 4 bits is not needed, as those 4 bits
will be shifted out in the next iteration. All we need to do is sink
a mask of those 4 bits out of the loop.
3) anding with 0xf0 after shifting by 24 bits can allow betterin

gdb: warn when converting h/w watchpoints to s/w
On amd64 (at least) if a user sets a watchpoint before the inferior
has started then GDB will assume that a hardware watchpoint can be
created.
When the inferior starts there is a chance that the watchpoint can't
actually be create as a hardware watchpoint, in which case (currently)
GDB will silently convert the watchpoint to a software watchpoint.
Here's an example session:
(gdb) p sizeof var
$1 = 4000
(gdb) watch var
Hardware watchpoint 1: var
(gdb) info watchpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 hw watchpoint keep y var
(gdb) starti
Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/watch
Program stopped.
0x00007ffff7fd3110 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb) info watchpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 watchpoint keep y var
(gdb)
Notice that before the `starti` command the watchpoint is showing as a
hardware watchpoint, but afterwards it is showing as a software
watchpoint. Additionally, note that we clearly told the user we
created a hardware watchpoint:
(gdb) watch var
Hardware watchpoint 1: var
I think this is bad. I used `starti`, but if the user did `start` or
even `run` then the inferior is going to be _very_ slow, which will be
unexpected -- after all, we clearly told the user that we created a
hardware watchpoint, and the manual clearly says that hardware
watchpoints are fast (at least compared to s/w watchpoints).
In this patch I propose adding a new warning which will be emitted
when GDB downgrades a h/w watchpoint to s/w. The session now looks
like this:
(gdb) p sizeof var
$1 = 4000
(gdb) watch var
Hardware watchpoint 1: var
(gdb) info watchpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 hw watchpoint keep y var
(gdb) starti
Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/watch
warning: watchpoint 1 downgraded to software watchpoint
Program stopped.
0x00007ffff7fd3110 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb) info watchpoints
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 watchpoint keep y var
(gdb)
The important line is:
warning: watchpoint 1 downgraded to software watchpoint
It's not much, but hopefully it will be enough to indicate to the user
that something unexpected has occurred, and hopefully, they will not
be surprised when the inferior runs much slower than they expected.
I've added an amd64 only test in gdb.arch/, I didn't want to try
adding this as a global test as other architectures might be able to
support the watchpoint request in h/w.
Also the test is skipped for extended-remote boards as there's a
different set of options for limiting hardware watchpoints on remote
targets, and this test isn't about them.

gdb/riscv: Support c.li in prologue unwinder
I was seeing some failures in gdb.threads/omp-par-scope.exp when run
on a riscv64 target. It turns out the cause of the problem is that I
didn't have debug information installed for libgomp.so, which this
test makes use of. The test requires GDB to backtrace through a
libgomp function, and the riscv prologue unwinder was failing to
unwind this particular stack frame.
The reason for the failure to unwind was that the function prologue
includes a c.li (compressed load immediate) instruction, and the riscv
prologue scanning unwinder doesn't know what to do with this
instruction, though the unwinder does understand c.lui (compressed
load unsigned immediate).
This commit adds support for c.li. After this GDB is able to unwind

libctf, link: fix CU-mapped links with CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS
This is a bug in the intersection of two obscure options that cannot
even be invoked from ld with a feature added to stop ld of the
same input file repeatedly from crashing the linker.
The latter fix involved tracking input files (internally to libctf) not
just with their input CU name but with a version of their input CU name
that was augmented with a numeric prefix if their linker input file name
was changed, to prevent distinct CTF dicts with the same cuname from
overwriting each other. (We can't use just the linker input file name
because one linker input can contain many CU dicts, particularly under
ld -r). If these inputs then produced conflicting types, those types
were emitted into similarly-named output dicts, so we needed similar
machinery to detect clashing output dicts and add a numeric prefix to
them as well.
This works fine, except that if you used the cu-mapping feature to force
double-linking of CTF (so that your CTF can be grouped into output dicts
larger than a single translation unit) and then also used
CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS to force every possible output dict in the
mapping to be created (even if empty), we did the creation of empty dicts
first, and then all the actual content got considered to be a clash. So
you ended up with a pile of useless empty dicts and then all the content
was in full dicts with the same names suffixed with a #0. This seems
likely to confuse consumers that use this facility.
Fixed by generating all the EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS empty dicts after linking
is complete, not before it runs.
No impact on ld, which does not do cu-mapped links or pass
CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS to ctf_link().

libctf: propagate errors from parents correctly
CTF dicts have per-dict errno values: as with other errno values these
are set on error and left unchanged on success. This means that all
errors *must* set the CTF errno: if a call leaves it unchanged, the
caller is apt to find a previous, lingering error and misinterpret
it as the real error.
There are many places in libctf where we carry out operations on parent
dicts as a result of carrying out other user-requested operations on
child dicts (e.g. looking up information on a pointer to a type will
look up the type as well: the pointer might well be in a child and the
type it's a pointer to in the parent). Those operations on the parent
might fail; if they do, the error must be correctly reflected on the
child that the user-visible operation was carried out on. In many
places this was not happening.
So, audit and fix all those places. Add tests for as many of those
cases as possible so they don't regress.

Added two test scripts gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-self-call.exp and
gdb.arch/i386-disp-step-self-call.exp. These scripts contained a test
that included a stack address in the test name, this makes it harder
to compare results between runs.
This commit gives the tests proper names that doesn't include an

Also in gdb.arch/i386-disp-step-self-call.exp I noticed that we were
writing 8-bytes rather than 4 in order to clear the return address
entry on the stack. This is also fixed in this commit.

AIX GCC has the same issue, and there the easier way of adding
__attribute__((used)) to globals does not help.
So add explicit uses of all globals to the generated code.
For the C++ test, that reveals that the static variable members of the
generated structs are not defined anywhere, leading to undefined
references. Fixed by emitting initialization for all static members.
Lastly, I noticed that CXX_FOR_TARGET was being ignored -- that's
because the align-c++.exp testcase is compiling with the C compiler
driver. Fixed by passing "c++" as option to prepare_for_testing.

gdb/python: allow Frame.read_var to accept named arguments
This commit allows Frame.read_var to accept named arguments, and also
improves (I think) some of the error messages emitted when values of
the wrong type are passed to this function.
The read_var method takes two arguments, one a variable, which is
either a gdb.Symbol or a string, while the second, optional, argument
is always a gdb.Block.
I'm now using 'O!' as the format specifier for the second argument,
which allows the argument type to be checked early on. Currently, if
the second argument is of the wrong type then we get this error:
(gdb) python print(gdb.selected_frame().read_var("a1", "xxx"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: Second argument must be block.
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
After this commit, we now get an error like this:
(gdb) python print(gdb.selected_frame().read_var("a1", "xxx"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: argument 2 must be gdb.Block, not str
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
Changes are:
1. Exception type is TypeError not RuntimeError, this is unfortunate
as user code _could_ be relying on this, but I think the improvement
is worth the risk, user code relying on the exact exception type is
likely to be pretty rare,
2. New error message gives argument position and expected argument
type, as well as the type that was passed.
If the first argument, the variable, has the wrong type then the
previous exception was already a TypeError, however, I've updated the
text of the exception to more closely match the "standard" error
message we see above. If the first argument has the wrong type then
before this commit we saw this:
(gdb) python print(gdb.selected_frame().read_var(123))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Argument must be a symbol or string.
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
And after we see this:
(gdb) python print(gdb.selected_frame().read_var(123))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: argument 1 must be gdb.Symbol or str, not int

gdb: fix reg corruption from displaced stepping on amd64
This commit aims to address a problem that exists with the current
approach to displaced stepping, and was identified in PR gdb/22921.
Displaced stepping is currently supported on AArch64, ARM, amd64,
i386, rs6000 (ppc), and s390. Of these, I believe there is a problem
with the current approach which will impact amd64 and ARM, and can
lead to random register corruption when the inferior makes use of
asynchronous signals and GDB is using displaced stepping.
The problem can be found in displaced_step_buffers::finish in
displaced-stepping.c, and is this; after GDB tries to perform a
displaced step, and the inferior stops, GDB classifies the stop into
one of two states, either the displaced step succeeded, or the
displaced step failed.
If the displaced step succeeded then gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup is
called, which has the job of fixing up the state of the current
inferior as if the step had not been performed in a displaced manner.
This all seems just fine.
However, if the displaced step is considered to have not completed
then GDB doesn't call gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup, instead GDB
remains in displaced_step_buffers::finish and just performs a minimal
fixup which involves adjusting the program counter back to its
original value.
The problem here is that for amd64 and ARM setting up for a displaced
step can involve changing the values in some temporary registers. If
the displaced step succeeds then this is fine; after the step the
temporary registers are restored to their original values in the
architecture specific code.
But if the displaced step does not succeed then the temporary
registers are never restored, and they retain their modified values.
In this context a temporary register is simply any register that is
not otherwise used by the instruction being stepped that the
architecture specific code considers safe to borrow for the lifetime
of the instruction being stepped.
In the bug PR gdb/22921, the amd64 instruction being stepped is
an rip-relative instruction like this:
jmp *0x2fe2(%rip)
When we displaced step this instruction we borrow a register, and
modify the instruction to something like:
jmp *0x2fe2(%rcx)
with %rcx having its value adjusted to contain the original %rip
value.
Now if the displaced step does not succeed, then %rcx will be left
with a corrupted value. Obviously corrupting any register is bad; in
the bug report this problem was spotted because %rcx is used as a
function argument register.
And finally, why might a displaced step not succeed? Asynchronous
signals provides one reason. GDB sets up for the displaced step and,
at that precise moment, the OS delivers a signal (SIGALRM in the bug
report), the signal stops the inferior at the address of the displaced
instruction. GDB cancels the displaced instruction, handles the
signal, and then tries again with the displaced step. But it is that
first cancellation of the displaced step that causes the problem; in
that case GDB (correctly) sees the displaced step as having not
completed, and so does not perform the architecture specific fixup,
leaving the register corrupted.
The reason why I think AArch64, rs600, i386, and s390 are not effected
by this problem is that I don't believe these architectures make use
of any temporary registers, so when a displaced step is not completed
successfully, the minimal fix up is sufficient.
On amd64 we use at most one temporary register.
On ARM, looking at arm_displaced_step_copy_insn_closure, we could
modify up to 16 temporary registers, and the instruction being
displaced stepped could be expanded to multiple replacement
instructions, which increases the chances of this bug triggering.
This commit only aims to address the issue on amd64 for now, though I
believe that the approach I'm proposing here might be applicable for
ARM too.
What I propose is that we always call gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup.
We will now pass an extra argument to gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup,
this a boolean that indicates whether GDB thinks the displaced step
completed successfully or not.
When this flag is false this indicates that the displaced step halted
for some "other" reason. On ARM GDB can potentially read the
inferior's program counter in order figure out how far through the
sequence of replacement instructions we got, and from that GDB can
figure out what fixup needs to be performed.
On targets like amd64 the problem is slightly easier as displaced
stepping only uses a single replacement instruction. If the displaced
step didn't complete the GDB knows that the single instruction didn't
execute.
The point is that by always calling gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup, each
architecture can now ensure that the inferior state is fixed up
correctly in all cases, not just the success case.
On amd64 this ensures that we always restore the temporary register
value, and so bug PR gdb/22921 is resolved.
In order to move all architectures to this new API, I have moved the
minimal roll-back version of the code inside the architecture specific
fixup functions for AArch64, rs600, s390, and ARM. For all of these
except ARM I think this is good enough, as no temporaries are used all
that's needed is the program counter restore anyway.
For ARM the minimal code is no worse than what we had before, though I
do consider this architecture's displaced-stepping broken.
I've updated the gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp test to cover the
'jmpq*' instruction that was causing problems in the original bug, and
also added support for testing the displaced step in the presence of
asynchronous signal delivery.
I've also added two new tests (for amd64 and i386) that check that GDB
can correctly handle displaced stepping over a single instruction that
branches to itself. I added these tests after a first version of this
patch relied too much on checking the program-counter value in order
to see if the displaced instruction had executed. This works fine in
almost all cases, but when an instruction branches to itself a pure
program counter check is not sufficient. The new tests expose this
problem.

outside of maintainer mode dependencies will cause the subset of files

Generating them all is only needed when wanting to update certain files
under bfd/po/, i.e. in maintainer mode.
In the course of looking around in an attempt to try to understand how

quite right (the output doesn't change when any of the enumerated files
changes; it's the mere presence which matters); like in bfd it looks
like we would better extend BUILT_SOURCES accordingly.
Furthermore it became apparent that ld fails to enumerate the .c files
generated from the .l and .y ones. While in their absence it was benign
whether translatable strings in the source files were actually marked as
such, this now becomes relevant. Mark respective strings at the same

a6336913332.
Some of the stabs handling code grows arrays of pointers with realloc,
to deal with arbitrary numbers of fields, function args, etc. The
code still does that but copies over to bfd_alloc memory when
finished. The alternative is to parse twice, once to size, then again
to populate the arrays. I think that complication is unwarranted.
Note that there is a greater than zero chance this patch breaks
something, eg. that I missed an attempt to free obj_alloc memory.

gdb: cleanup around some set_momentary_breakpoint_at_pc calls
I noticed a couple of places in infrun.c where we call
set_momentary_breakpoint_at_pc, and then set the newly created
breakpoint's thread field, these are in:
insert_exception_resume_breakpoint
insert_exception_resume_from_probe
Function set_momentary_breakpoint_at_pc calls
set_momentary_breakpoint, which always creates the breakpoint as
thread-specific for the current inferior_thread().
The two insert_* functions mentioned above take an arbitrary
thread_info* as an argument and set the breakpoint::thread to hold the
thread number of that arbitrary thread.
However, the insert_* functions store the breakpoint pointer within
the current inferior_thread(), so we know that the thread being passed
in must be the currently selected thread.
What this means is that we can:
1. Assert that the thread being passed in is the currently selected
thread, and
2. No longer adjust the breakpoint::thread field, this will already
have been set correctly be calling set_momentary_breakpoint_at_pc.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

What happens here is the breakpoint condition includes a call to an
inferior function, and the inferior function segfaults. We can see
that GDB reports the segfault, and then gives an error message that
indicates that an inferior function call was interrupted.
After this GDB appears to report that it is stopped at Breakpoint 1,
inside some_func.
I find this second stop report a little confusing. While it is true
that GDB stopped as a result of hitting breakpoint 1, I think the
message GDB currently prints might give the impression that GDB is
actually stopped at a location of breakpoint 1, which is not the case.
Also, I find the second stop message draws attention away from
the "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault" stop
message, and this second stop might be thought of as replacing in
someway the earlier message.
In short, I think things would be clearer if the second stop message
were not reported at all, so the output should, I think, look like
this:

The user can still find the number of the breakpoint that triggered
the initial stop in this line:

But there's now only one stop reason reported, the SIGSEGV, which I
think is much clearer.

(b) the $pc of the thread changed during condition evaluation.
I've updated the existing tests that checked the error message printed

(gdb)
Notice that this line:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
Appears twice in the output. The first time is followed by the
current location. The second time is a little odd, why do we print
that?
Printing that line is controlled, in part, by a global variable,
stopped_by_random_signal. This variable is reset to zero in
handle_signal_stop, and is set if/when GDB figures out that the
inferior stopped due to some random signal.
The problem is, in our case, GDB first stops at the breakpoint for
foo, and enters handle_signal_stop and the stopped_by_random_signal
global is reset to 0.
Later within handle_signal_stop GDB calls bpstat_stop_status, it is
within this function (via bpstat_check_breakpoint_conditions) that the
breakpoint condition is checked, and, we end up calling the inferior
function (some_func in our example above).
In our case above the thread performing the inferior function call
segfaults in some_func. GDB catches the SIGSEGV and handles the stop,
this causes us to reenter handle_signal_stop. The global variable
stopped_by_random_signal is updated, this time it is set to true
because the thread stopped due to SIGSEGV. As a result of this we
print the first instance of the line (as seen above in the example).
Finally we unwind GDB's call stack, the inferior function call is
complete, and we return to the original handle_signal_stop. However,
the stopped_by_random_signal global is still carrying the value as
computed for the inferior function call's stop, which is why we now
print a second instance of the line, as seen in the example.
To prevent this, I propose adding a scoped_restore before we start an
inferior function call. This will save and restore the global
stopped_by_random_signal value.
With this done, the output from our example is now this:
(gdb) list some_func
1 int
2 some_func ()
3 {
4 int *p = 0;
5 return *p;
6 }

We now only see the 'Program received signal SIGSEGV, ...' line once,
which I think makes more sense.
Finally, I'm aware that the last few lines, that report the stop as
being at 'Breakpoint 1', when this is not where the thread is actually
located anymore, is not great. I'll address that in the next commit.

In this patch I update agent_mem_read so that if read_inferior_memory

However, none of the callers of agent_mem_read actually check the
return value, so this commit will have no effect on anything. In the

breakpoint #1 will be lost from the error message.
So, in this commit, in preparation for the later commits, I propose to
change the 'Error in testing breakpoint condition:' line to this:

where NUMBER will be filled in as appropriate. Here's the first
example with the updated error:

The breakpoint number does now appear twice in the output, but I don't
see that as a negative.
This commit just changes the one line of the error, and updates the
few tests that either included the old error in comments, or actually
checked for the error in the expected output.
As the only test that checked the line I modified is a Python test,
I've added a new test that doesn't rely on Python that checks the
error message in detail.
While working on the new test, I spotted that it would fail when run
with native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver target boards.
This turns out to be due to a gdbserver bug. To avoid cluttering this
commit I've added a work around to the new test script so that the
test passes for the remote boards, in the next few commits I will fix
gdbserver, and update the test script to remove the work around.

gdb/riscv: fix regressions in gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp
This commit builds on the previous one to fix all the remaining
failures in gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp for RISC-V.
The problem we have in gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp is that, when
we are in the function epilogue, the previous frame and stack pointer
values are being restored, and so, the values that we calculated
during the function prologue are no longer suitable.
Here's an example from the function 'bar' in the mentioned test. This
was compiled for 64-bit RISC-V with compressed instruction support:
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
0x000000000001018a <+0>: add sp,sp,-32

0x00000000000101a4 <+26>: add sp,sp,32
0x00000000000101a6 <+28>: ret
End of assembler dump.
When we are at address 0x101a4 the previous instruction has restored
the frame-pointer, as such GDB's (current) preference for using the
frame-pointer as the frame base address is clearly not going to work.
We need to switch to using the stack-pointer instead.
At address 0x101a6 the previous instruction has restored the
stack-pointer value. Currently GDB will not understand this and so
will still assume the stack has been decreased by 32 bytes in this
function.
My proposed solution is to extend GDB such that GDB will scan the
instructions at the current $pc looking for this pattern:
ld fp,16(sp)
add sp,sp,32
ret
Obviously the immediates can change, but the basic pattern indicates
that the function is in the process of restoring state before
returning. If GDB sees this pattern then GDB can use the inferior's
position within this instruction sequence to help calculate the
correct frame-id.
With this implemented then gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp now fully
passes.
Obviously what I've implemented is just a heuristic. It's not going
to work for every function. If the compiler reorders the
instructions, or merges the epilogue back into the function body then
GDB is once again going to get the frame-id wrong.
I'm OK with that, we're no worse off that we are right now in that
situation (plus we can always improve the heuristic later).
Remember, this is for debugging code without debug information,
and (in our imagined situation) with more aggressive levels of
optimisation being used. Obviously GDB is going to struggle in these
situations.
My thinking is, lets get something in place now. Then, later, if
possible, we might be able to improve the logic to cover more
situations -- if there's an interest in doing so. But I figure we
need something in place as a starting point.
After this commit gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp passes with no
failures on RV64.

gdb/riscv: support c.ldsp and c.lwsp in prologue scanner
Add support to the RISC-V prologue scanner for c.ldsp and c.lwsp
instructions.
This fixes some of the failures in gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp,
though there are further failures that are not fixed by this commit.
This change started as a wider fix that would address all the failures
in gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp, however, that wider fix needed
support for the two additional compressed instructions.
When I added support for those two compressed instructions I noticed
that some of the failures in gdb.base/unwind-on-each-insn.exp resolved
themselves!
Here's what's going on:
The reason for the failures is that GDB is trying to build the
frame-id during the last few instructions of the function. These are
the instructions that restore the frame and stack pointers just prior
to the return instruction itself.
By the time we reach the function epilogue the stack offset that we
calculated during the prologue scan is no longer valid, and so we
calculate the wrong frame-id.
However, in the particular case of interest here, the test function
'foo', the function is so simple and short (the empty function) that
GDB's prologue scan could, in theory, scan every instruction of the
function.
I say "could, in theory," because currently GDB stops the prologue
scan early when it hits an unknown instruction. The unknown
instruction happens to be one of the compressed instructions that I'm
adding support for in this commit.
Now that GDB understands the compressed instructions the prologue scan
really does go from the start of the function right up to the current
program counter. As such, GDB sees that the stack frame has been
allocated, and then deallocated, and so builds the correct frame-id.
Of course, most real functions are not as simple as the test function
'foo'. As such, we can't usually rely on scanning right up to the end
of the function -- there are some instructions we always need to stop
at because GDB can't reason about how they change the inferior
state (e.g. a function call). The test function 'bar' is just such an
example.
After this commit, we can now build the frame-id correctly for every
instruction in 'foo', but there are some tests still failing in 'bar'.

[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.server/server-kill.exp for remote target
The first of these commits fixed an issue in GDB and tried to extend
the gdb.server/server-kill.exp test to cover the GDB fix.
Unfortunately, the changes to gdb.server/server-kill.exp were not
correct, and were causing problems when trying to run with the
remote-gdbserver-on-localhost board file.
The second commit reverts some of the gdb.server/server-kill.exp
changes introduced in the first commit so that the test will now work
correctly with the remote-gdbserver-on-localhost board file.
The second commit is just about GDB's testing infrastructure -- it's
not about the original fix to GDB from the first commit, the actual
GDB change was fine.
While reviewing the second commit I wanted to check that the problem
fixed in the first commit is still being tested by the
gdb.server/server-kill.exp script, so I reverted the change to
breakpoint.c that is the core of the first commit and ran the test
script ..... and saw no failures.
The first commit is about GDB discovering that gdbserver has died
while trying to insert a breakpoint. As soon as GDB spots that
gdbserver is gone we mourn the remote inferior, which ends up deleting
all the breakpoints associated with the remote inferiors. We then
throw an exception which is caught in the insert breakpoints code, and
we try to display an error that includes the breakpoint number
.... but the breakpoint has already been deleted ... and so GDB
crashes.
After digging a little, what I found is that today, when the test does
'stepi' the first thing we end up doing is calculating the frame-id as
part of the stepi logic, it is during this frame-id calculation that
we mourn the remote inferior, delete the breakpoints, and throw an
exception. The exception is caught by the top level interpreter loop,
and so we never try to print the breakpoint number which is what
caused the original crash.
If I add an 'info frame' command to the test script, prior to killing
gdbserver, then now when we 'stepi' GDB already has the frame-id
calculated, and the first thing we do is try to insert the
breakpoints, this will trigger the original bug.
In order to reproduce this experiment you'll need to change a function
in breakpoint.c, like this:
static void
rethrow_on_target_close_error (const gdb_exception &e)
{
return;
}
Then run gdb.server/server-kill.exp with and without this patch. You
should find that without this patch there are zero test failures,
while with this patch there will be one failure like this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.server/server-kill.exp: test_stepi: info frame
Executing on target: kill -9 4513 (timeout = 300)
builtin_spawn -ignore SIGHUP kill -9 4513

gdb/python: make the gdb.unwinder.Unwinder class more robust
In this commit a new test was added, however the expected output
pattern varies depending on which Python version GDB is linked
against.
Older versions of Python result in output like this:
(gdb) python global_test_unwinder.name = "foo"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: can't set attribute
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
While more recent versions of Python give a similar, but slightly more
verbose error message, like this:
(gdb) python global_test_unwinder.name = "foo"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: can't set attribute 'name'
Error while executing Python code.
(gdb)
The test was only accepting the first version of the output. This
commit extends the test pattern so that either version will be
accepted.

[aarch64] tpidr2: Fix erroneous detection logic for TPIDR2
The detection logic for TPIDR2 was implemented incorrectly. Originally
the detection was supposed to be through a ptrace error code, but in reality,
for backwards compatibility, the detection should be based on the size of
the returned iovec.
For instance, if a target supports both TPIDR and TPIDR2, ptrace will return a
iovec size of 16. If a target only supports TPIDR and not TPIDR2, it will
return a iovec size of 8, even if we asked for 16 bytes.
This patch fixes this issue in code that is shared between gdb and gdbserver,
therefore both gdb and gdbserver are fixed.
Tested on AArch64/Linux Ubuntu 20.04.

gdb/arm: Fix backtrace for pthread_cond_timedwait
GDB expected PC should point right after the SVC instruction when the
syscall is active. But some active syscalls keep PC pointing to the SVC
instruction itself.
This leads to a broken backtrace like:
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
#0 0xb6f8681c in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.4 () from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libpthread.so.0
#1 0xb6e21f80 in ?? ()
The reason is that .ARM.exidx unwinder gives up if PC does not point
right after the SVC (syscall) instruction. I did not investigate why but
some syscalls will point PC to the SVC instruction itself. This happens
for the "futex" syscall used by pthread_cond_timedwait.
That normally does not matter as ARM prologue unwinder gets called
instead of the .ARM.exidx one. Unfortunately some glibc calls have more
complicated prologue where the GDB unwinder fails to properly determine
the return address (that is in fact an orthogonal GDB bug). I expect it
is due to the "vpush" there in this case but I did not investigate it more:
Dump of assembler code for function pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.4:
0xb6f8757c <+0>: push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, r10, r11, lr}
