[gdb/tui] Factor out tui_noscroll_window et al
I noticed that tui_locator_window has an empty do_scroll_vertical and
do_scroll_horizontal, like tui_cmd_window, but unlike tui_cmd_window doesn't
have:
...
bool can_scroll () const override
{
return false;
}
...
I suspect that it probably doesn't matter, but regardless it's good to have
the same implementations of basic properties in all windows.
Ensure this by adding a class tui_noscroll_window, that has:
- an empty do_scroll_vertical and do_scroll_horizontal, and
- a can_scroll returning false
which both tui_locator_window and tui_cmd_window inherit.
Make all methods final to ensure no accidental overrides are left in the
inheriting classes.
Likewise add new classes representing basic window properties:
- tui_nofocus_window,
- tui_oneline_window,
- tui_nobox_window,
- tui_norefresh_window, and
- tui_always_visible_window.
The changes are only a refactoring, apart from adding the "final", which does
limit the range of behaviours for subclasses.

gdb: implement missing debug handler hook for Python
This commit builds on the previous commit, and implements the
extension_language_ops::handle_missing_debuginfo function for Python.
This hook will give user supplied Python code a chance to help find
missing debug information.
The implementation of the new hook is pretty minimal within GDB's C++
code; most of the work is out-sourced to a Python implementation which
is modelled heavily on how GDB's Python frame unwinders are
implemented.
The following new commands are added as commands implemented in
Python, this is similar to how the Python unwinder commands are
implemented:
info missing-debug-handlers
enable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER
disable missing-debug-handler LOCUS HANDLER
To make use of this extension hook a user will create missing debug
information handler objects, and registers these handlers with GDB.
When GDB encounters an objfile that is missing debug information, each
handler is called in turn until one is able to help. Here is a
minimal handler that does nothing useful:
import gdb
import gdb.missing_debug
class MyFirstHandler(gdb.missing_debug.MissingDebugHandler):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__("my_first_handler")
def __call__(self, objfile):
# This handler does nothing useful.
return None
gdb.missing_debug.register_handler(None, MyFirstHandler())
Returning None from the __call__ method tells GDB that this handler
was unable to find the missing debug information, and GDB should ask
any other registered handlers.
By extending the __call__ method it is possible for the Python
extension to locate the debug information for objfile and return a
value that tells GDB how to use the information that has been located.
Possible return values from a handler:
- None: This means the handler couldn't help. GDB will call other
registered handlers to see if they can help instead.
- False: The handler has done all it can, but the debug information
for the objfile still couldn't be found. GDB will not call
any other handlers, and will continue without the debug
information for objfile.
- True: The handler has installed the debug information into a
location where GDB would normally expect to find it. GDB
should look again for the debug information.
- A string: The handler can return a filename, which is the file
containing the missing debug information. GDB will load
this file.
When a handler returns True, GDB will look again for the debug
information, but only using the standard built-in build-id and
.gnu_debuglink based lookup strategies. It is not possible for an
extension to trigger another debuginfod lookup; the assumption is that
the debuginfod server is remote, and out of the control of extensions
running within GDB.
Handlers can be registered globally, or per program space. GDB checks
the handlers for the current program space first, and then all of the
global handles. The first handler that returns a value that is not
None, has "handled" the objfile, at which point GDB continues.

gdb: add an extension language hook for missing debug info
This commit adds a new extension_language_ops hook which allows an
extension to handle the case where GDB can't find a separate debug
information file for a particular objfile.
This commit doesn't actually implement the hook for any of GDB's
extension languages, the next commit will do that. This commit just
adds support for the hook to extension-priv.h and extension.[ch], and
then reworks symfile-debug.c to call the hook.
Right now the hook will always return its default value, which means
GDB should do nothing different. As such, there should be no user
visible changes after this commit.
I'll give a brief description of what the hook does here so that we
can understand the changes in symfile-debug.c. The next commit adds a
Python implementation for this new hook, and gives a fuller
description of the new functionality.
Currently, when looking for separate debug information GDB tries three
things, in this order:
1. Use the build-id to find the required debug information,
2. Check for .gnu_debuglink section and use that to look up the
required debug information,
3. Check with debuginfod to see if it can supply the required
information.
The new extension_language_ops::handle_missing_debuginfo hook is
called if all three steps fail to find any debug information. The
hook has three possible return values:
a. Nothing, no debug information is found, GDB continues without the
debug information for this objfile. This matches the current
behaviour of GDB, and is the default if nothing is implementing this
new hook,
b. Install debug information into a location that step #1 or #2
above would normally check, and then request that GDB repeats steps
#1 and #2 in the hope that GDB will now find the debug information.
If the debug information is still not found then GDB carries on
without the debug information. If the debug information is found
the GDB loads it and carries on,
c. Return a filename for a file containing the required debug
information. GDB loads the contents of this file and carries on.
The changes in this commit mostly involve placing the core of
objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file into a loop which allows
for steps #1 and #2 to be repeated.
We take care to ensure that debuginfod is only queried once, the first
time through. The assumption is that no extension is going to be able
to control the replies from debuginfod, so there's no point making a
second request -- and as these requests go over the network, they
could potentially be slow.
The warnings that find_and_add_separate_symbol_file collects are
displayed only once assuming that no debug information is found. If
debug information is found, even after the extension has operated,
then the warnings are not shown; remember, these are warnings from GDB
about failure to find any suitable debug information, so it makes
sense to hide these if debug information is found.

This is purely a refactoring commit.
This commit splits objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file into

up separate debug information are now clearer.
In a later commit I'm going to extend
objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file, with some additional
logic, so starting with a simpler function will make the following
changes easier.
When reading objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file after this

gdb: merge debug symbol file lookup code from coffread & elfread paths
This commit merges the code that looks for and loads the separate
debug symbol files from coffread.c and elfread.c. The factored out
code is moved into a new objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file()
method.
For the elfread.c path there should be no user visible changes after
this commit.
For the coffread.c path GDB will now attempt to perform a debuginfod
lookup for the missing debug information, assuming that GDB can find a
build-id in the COFF file.
I don't know if COFF files can include a build-id, but I the existing
coffread.c code already includes a call to
find_separate_debug_file_by_build-id, so I know that it is at least OK
for GDB to ask a COFF file for a build-id. If the COFF file doesn't
include a build-id then the debuginfod lookup code will not trigger
and the new code is harmless.
If the COFF file does include a build-id, then we're going to end up
asking debuginfod for the debug file. As build-ids should be unique,
this should be harmless, even if debuginfod doesn't contain any
suitable debug data, it just costs us one debuginfod lookup, so I'm
not too worried about this for now.
As with the previous commit, I've done some minimal testing using the
mingw toolchain on a Linux machine, GDB seems to still access the
split debug information just fine.

Date: Fri Feb 1 19:39:04 2013 +0000
the logic for when we try to load a separate debug file in elfread.c
was extended. The new code checks that the objfile doesn't already
have a separate debug objfile linked to it, and that the objfile isn't
itself a separate debug objfile for some other objfile.
The coffread code wasn't extended at the same time.
I don't know if it's possible for the coffread code to get into the
same state where these checks are needed, but I don't see why having
these checks would be a problem. In a later commit I plan to merge
this part of the elfread and coffread code, so bringing these two
pieces of code into line first makes that job easier.
I've tested this with a simple test binary compiled with the mingw
toolchain on a Linux host. After compiling the binary and splitting
out the debug info GDB still finds and loads the separate debug info.

Fix the gdb.ada/inline-section-gc.exp test
The original intention of the test appears to be checking to make sure

The gdb.ada/inline-section-gc.exp test may pass or fail depending on the
version of gnat. Per the discussion on IRC, the ada inlining appears to
have some target dependencies. In this test there are two functions,
callee and caller. Function calee is inlined into caller. The test sets
a breakpoint in function callee. The reported location where the
breakpoint is set may be at the requested location in callee or the
location in caller after callee has been inlined. The test needs to
accept either location as correct provided the breakpoint address is not
zero.
This patch checks to see if the reported breakpoint is in function callee
or function caller and fails if the breakpoint address is 0x0. The line
number where the breakpoint is set will match the requested line if the
breakpoint location is reported is callee.adb. If the breakpoint is
reported in caller.adb, the line number in caller is the breakpoint
location in callee where it is inlined into caller.

Cancel execution command on thread exit, when stepping, nexting, etc.
If your target has no support for TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED events
(and no way to support them, such as the yet-unsubmitted AMDGPU
target), and you step over thread exit with scheduler-locking on, this
is what you get:
(gdb) n
[Thread ... exited]
*hang*
Getting back the prompt by typing Ctrl-C may not even work, since no
inferior thread is running to receive the SIGINT. Even if it works,
it seems unnecessarily harsh. If you started an execution command for
which there's a clear thread of interest (step, next, until, etc.),
and that thread disappears, then I think it's more user friendly if
GDB just detects the situation and aborts the command, giving back the
prompt.
That is what this commit implements. It does this by explicitly
requesting the target to report thread exit events whenever the main
resumed thread has a thread_fsm. Note that unlike stepping over a
breakpoint, we don't need to enable clone events in this case.

... however, infrun decided there was a resumed thread still, so
ignored the TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED event. Debugging GDB, we see
that the "found resumed" thread that GDB finds, is the leader thread.
Even though that thread is not on the remote-reported thread list, it
is still on the GDB thread list, due to the special case in remote.c
mentioned above.
This commit addresses the issue by fixing GDBserver to report a thread
exit event for the zombie leader too, i.e., making GDBserver respect
the "if thread has GDB_THREAD_OPTION_EXIT set, report a thread exit"
invariant. To do that, it takes a bit more code than one would
imagine off hand, due to the fact that we currently always report LWP
exit pending events as TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED, and then decide whether
to convert it to TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_EXITED just before reporting
the event to GDBserver core. For the zombie leader scenario
described, we need to record early on that we want to report a
THREAD_EXITED event, and then make sure that decision isn't lost along
the way to reporting the event to GDBserver core.

Don't resume new threads if scheduler-locking is in effect
If scheduler-locking is in effect, e.g., with "set scheduler-locking
on", and you step over a function that spawns a new thread, the new
thread is allowed to run free, at least until some event is hit, at
which point, whether the new thread is re-resumed depends on a number
of seemingly random factors. E.g., if the target is all-stop, and the
parent thread hits a breakpoint, and GDB decides the breakpoint isn't
interesting to report to the user, then the parent thread is resumed,
but the new thread is left stopped.
I think that letting the new threads run with scheduler-locking
enabled is a defect. This commit fixes that, making use of the new
clone events on Linux, and of target_thread_events() on targets where
new threads have no connection to the thread that spawned them.

gdbserver: Queue no-resumed event after thread exit
Normally, if the last resumed thread on the target exits, the server
sends a no-resumed event to GDB. If however, GDB enables the
GDB_THREAD_OPTION_EXIT option on a thread, and, that thread exits, the
server sends a thread exit event for that thread instead.
In all-stop RSP mode, since events can only be forwarded to GDB one at
a time, and the whole target stops whenever an event is reported, GDB
resumes the target again after getting a THREAD_EXITED event, and then
the server finally reports back a no-resumed event if/when
appropriate.
For non-stop RSP though, events are asynchronous, and if the server
sends a thread-exit event for the last resumed thread, the no-resumed
event is never sent. This patch makes sure that in non-stop mode, the
server queues a no-resumed event after the thread-exit event if it was
the last resumed thread that exited.
Without this, we'd see failures in step-over-thread-exit testcases
added later in the series, like so:

stop_all_threads: (re-)enable async before waiting for stops
Running the
gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit-while-stop-all-threads.exp testcase
added later in the series against gdbserver, after the
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED fix from the following patch, would run
into an infinite loop in stop_all_threads, leading to a timeout:
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit-while-stop-all-threads.exp: displaced-stepping=off: target-non-stop=on: iter 0: continue (timeout)
The is really a latent bug, and it is about the fact that
stop_all_threads stops listening to events from a target as soon as it
sees a TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, ignoring that
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED may be delayed. handle_no_resumed knows
how to handle delayed no-resumed events, but stop_all_threads was
never taught to.
In more detail, here's what happens with that testcase:
#1 - Multiple threads report breakpoint hits to gdb.
#2 - gdb picks one events, and it's for thread 1. All other stops are
left pending. thread 1 needs to move past a breakpoint, so gdb
stops all threads to start an inline step over for thread 1.
While stopping threads, some of the threads that were still
running report events that are also left pending.
#2 - gdb steps thread 1
#3 - Thread 1 exits while stepping (it steps over an exit syscall),
gdbserver reports thread exit for thread 1
#4 - Thread 1 was the last resumed thread, so gdbserver also reports
no-resumed:
[remote] Notification received: Stop:w0;p3445d0.3445d3
[remote] Sending packet: $vStopped#55
[remote] Packet received: N
[remote] Sending packet: $vStopped#55
[remote] Packet received: OK
#5 - gdb processes the thread exit for thread 1, finishes the step
over and restarts threads.
#6 - gdb picks the next event to process out of one of the resumed
threads with pending events:
[infrun] random_resumed_with_pending_wait_status: Found 32 events, selecting #11
#7 - This is again a breakpoint hit and the breakpoint needs to be
stepped over too, so gdb starts a step-over dance again.
#8 - We reach stop_all_threads, which finds that some threads need to
be stopped.
#9 - wait_one finally consumes the no-resumed event queue by #4.
Seeing this, wait_one disable target async, to stop listening for
events out of the remote target.
#10 - We still haven't seen all the stops expected, so
stop_all_threads tries another iteration.
#11 - Because the remote target is no longer async, and there are no
other targets, wait_one return no-resumed immediately without
polling the remote target.
#12 - We still haven't seen all the stops expected, so
stop_all_threads tries another iteration. goto #11, looping
forever.
Fix this by explicitly enabling/re-enabling target async on targets
that can async, before waiting for stops.

gdb: clear step over information on thread exit (PR gdb/27338)
GDB doesn't handle correctly the case where a thread steps over a

Using the test program included later in the series, this is what it
looks like with displaced-stepping, on x86-64 Linux, where we have two
displaced-step buffers:

The first two times we do "continue", we displaced-step the syscall
instruction that causes the thread to exit. When the thread exits,
the main thread, waiting on pthread_join, is unblocked. It spawns a
new thread, which hits the breakpoint on the syscall again. However,
infrun was never notified that the displaced-stepping threads are done
using the displaced-step buffer, so now both buffers are marked as
used. So when we do the third continue, there are no buffers
available to displaced-step the syscall, so the thread waits forever
for its turn.

The "continue" causes an in-line step to occur, meaning the main
thread is stopped while we step the syscall. The stepped thread exits
when executing the syscall, the linux-nat target notices there are no
more resumed threads to be waited for, so returns
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which causes the prompt to return. But
infrun never clears the in-line step over info. So if we try
continuing the main thread, GDB doesn't resume it, because it thinks
there's an in-line step in progress that we need to wait for to
finish, and we are stuck there.
To fix this, infrun needs to be informed when a thread doing a
displaced or in-line step over exits. We can do that with the new
target_set_thread_options mechanism which is optimal for only enabling
exit events of the thread that needs it; or, if that is not supported,
by using target_thread_events, which enables thread exit events for
all threads. This is done by this commit.
This patch then modifies handle_inferior_event in infrun.c to clean up
any step-over the exiting thread might have been doing at the time of
the exit. The cases to consider are:
- the exiting thread was doing an in-line step-over with an all-stop
target
- the exiting thread was doing an in-line step-over with a non-stop
target
- the exiting thread was doing a displaced step-over with a non-stop
target
The displaced-stepping buffer implementation in displaced-stepping.c
is modified to account for the fact that it's possible that we
"finish" a displaced step after a thread exit event. The buffer that
the exiting thread was using is marked as available again and the
original instructions under the scratch pad are restored. However, it
skips applying the fixup, which wouldn't make sense since the thread
does not exist anymore.
Another case that needs handling is if a displaced-stepping thread
exits, and the event is reported while we are in stop_all_threads. We
should call displaced_step_finish in the handle_one function, in that
case. It was already called in other code paths, just not the "thread
exited" path.
This commit doesn't make infrun ask the target to report the
TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_EXITED events yet, that'll be done later in the
series.
Note that "stop_print_frame = false;" line is moved to normal_stop,
because TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_EXITED can also end up with the event
transmorphed into TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED. Moving it to
normal_stop keeps it centralized.

Introduce GDB_THREAD_OPTION_EXIT thread option, fix step-over-thread-exit
When stepping over a breakpoint with displaced stepping, GDB needs to
be informed if the stepped thread exits, otherwise the displaced
stepping buffer that was allocated to that thread leaks, and this can
result in deadlock, with other threads waiting for their turn to
displaced step, but their turn never comes.
Similarly, when stepping over a breakpoint in line, GDB also needs to
be informed if the stepped thread exits, so that is can clear the step
over state and re-resume threads.
This commit makes it possible for GDB to ask the target to report
thread exit events for a given thread, using the new "thread options"
mechanism introduced by a previous patch.
This only adds the core bits. Following patches in the series will
teach the Linux backends (native & gdbserver) to handle the
GDB_THREAD_OPTION_EXIT option, and then a later patch will make use of
these thread exit events to clean up displaced stepping and inline
stepping state properly.

Thread options & clone events (core + remote)
A previous patch taught GDB about a new TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED
event kind, and made the Linux target report clone events.
A following patch will teach Linux GDBserver to do the same thing.
However, for remote debugging, it wouldn't be ideal for GDBserver to
report every clone event to GDB, when GDB only cares about such events
in some specific situations. Reporting clone events all the time
would be potentially chatty. We don't enable thread create/exit
events all the time for the same reason. Instead we have the
QThreadEvents packet. QThreadEvents is target-wide, though.
This patch makes GDB instead explicitly request that the target
reports clone events or not, on a per-thread basis.
In order to be able to do that with GDBserver, we need a new remote
protocol feature. Since a following patch will want to enable thread
exit events on per-thread basis too, the packet introduced here is
more generic than just for clone events. It lets you enable/disable a
set of options at once, modelled on Linux ptrace's PTRACE_SETOPTIONS.
IOW, this commit introduces a new QThreadOptions packet, that lets you
specify a set of per-thread event options you want to enable. The
packet accepts a list of options/thread-id pairs, similarly to vCont,
processed left to right, with the options field being a number
interpreted as a bit mask of options. The only option defined in this
commit is GDB_THREAD_OPTION_CLONE (0x1), which ask the remote target
to report clone events. Another patch later in the series will
introduce another option.
For example, this packet sets option "1" (clone events) on thread
p1000.2345:
QThreadOptions;1:p1000.2345
and this clears options for all threads of process 1000, and then sets
option "1" (clone events) on thread p1000.2345:
QThreadOptions;0:p1000.-1;1:p1000.2345
This clears options of all threads of all processes:
QThreadOptions;0
The target reports the set of supported options by including
"QThreadOptions=<supported options>" in its qSupported response.
infrun is then tweaked to enable GDB_THREAD_OPTION_CLONE when stepping
over a breakpoint.
Unlike PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, fork/vfork/clone children do NOT inherit
their parent's thread options. This is so that GDB can send e.g.,
"QThreadOptions;0;1:TID" without worrying about threads it doesn't
know about yet.
Documentation for this new remote protocol feature is included in a
documentation patch later in the series.

Support clone events in the remote protocol
The previous patch taught GDB about a new
TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED event kind, and made the Linux target
report clone events.
A following patch will teach Linux GDBserver to do the same thing.
But before we get there, we need to teach the remote protocol about
TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED. That's what this patch does. Clone is
very similar to vfork and fork, and the new stop reply is likewise
handled similarly. The stub reports "T05clone:...".
GDBserver core is taught to handle TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED and
forward it to GDB in this patch, but no backend actually emits it yet.
That will be done in a following patch.

Step over clone syscall w/ breakpoint, TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED
(A good chunk of the problem statement in the commit log below is
Andrew's, adjusted for a different solution, and for covering
displaced stepping too. The testcase is mostly Andrew's too.)
This commit addresses bugs gdb/19675 and gdb/27830, which are about
stepping over a breakpoint set at a clone syscall instruction, one is
about displaced stepping, and the other about in-line stepping.
Currently, when a new thread is created through a clone syscall, GDB
sets the new thread running. With 'continue' this makes sense
(assuming no schedlock):
- all-stop mode, user issues 'continue', all threads are set running,
a newly created thread should also be set running.
- non-stop mode, user issues 'continue', other pre-existing threads
are not affected, but as the new thread is (sort-of) a child of the
thread the user asked to run, it makes sense that the new threads
should be created in the running state.
Similarly, if we are stopped at the clone syscall, and there's no
software breakpoint at this address, then the current behaviour is
fine:
- all-stop mode, user issues 'stepi', stepping will be done in place
(as there's no breakpoint to step over). While stepping the thread
of interest all the other threads will be allowed to continue. A
newly created thread will be set running, and then stopped once the
thread of interest has completed its step.
- non-stop mode, user issues 'stepi', stepping will be done in place
(as there's no breakpoint to step over). Other threads might be
running or stopped, but as with the continue case above, the new
thread will be created running. The only possible issue here is
that the new thread will be left running after the initial thread
has completed its stepi. The user would need to manually select
the thread and interrupt it, this might not be what the user
expects. However, this is not something this commit tries to
change.
The problem then is what happens when we try to step over a clone
syscall if there is a breakpoint at the syscall address.
- For both all-stop and non-stop modes, with in-line stepping:
+ user issues 'stepi',
+ [non-stop mode only] GDB stops all threads. In all-stop mode all
threads are already stopped.
+ GDB removes s/w breakpoint at syscall address,
+ GDB single steps just the thread of interest, all other threads
are left stopped,
+ New thread is created running,
+ Initial thread completes its step,
+ [non-stop mode only] GDB resumes all threads that it previously
stopped.
There are two problems in the in-line stepping scenario above:
1. The new thread might pass through the same code that the initial
thread is in (i.e. the clone syscall code), in which case it will
fail to hit the breakpoint in clone as this was removed so the
first thread can single step,
2. The new thread might trigger some other stop event before the
initial thread reports its step completion. If this happens we
end up triggering an assertion as GDB assumes that only the
thread being stepped should stop. The assert looks like this:
infrun.c:5899: internal-error: int finish_step_over(execution_control_state*): Assertion `ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected' failed.
- For both all-stop and non-stop modes, with displaced stepping:
+ user issues 'stepi',
+ GDB starts the displaced step, moves thread's PC to the
out-of-line scratch pad, maybe adjusts registers,
+ GDB single steps the thread of interest, [non-stop mode only] all
other threads are left as they were, either running or stopped.
In all-stop, all other threads are left stopped.
+ New thread is created running,
+ Initial thread completes its step, GDB re-adjusts its PC,
restores/releases scratchpad,
+ [non-stop mode only] GDB resumes the thread, now past its
breakpoint.
+ [all-stop mode only] GDB resumes all threads.
There is one problem with the displaced stepping scenario above:
3. When the parent thread completed its step, GDB adjusted its PC,
but did not adjust the child's PC, thus that new child thread
will continue execution in the scratch pad, invoking undefined
behavior. If you're lucky, you see a crash. If unlucky, the
inferior gets silently corrupted.
What is needed is for GDB to have more control over whether the new
thread is created running or not. Issue #1 above requires that the
new thread not be allowed to run until the breakpoint has been
reinserted. The only way to guarantee this is if the new thread is
held in a stopped state until the single step has completed. Issue #3
above requires that GDB is informed of when a thread clones itself,
and of what is the child's ptid, so that GDB can fixup both the parent
and the child.
When looking for solutions to this problem I considered how GDB
handles fork/vfork as these have some of the same issues. The main
difference between fork/vfork and clone is that the clone events are
not reported back to core GDB. Instead, the clone event is handled
automatically in the target code and the child thread is immediately
set running.
Note we have support for requesting thread creation events out of the
target (TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CREATED). However, those are reported
for the new/child thread. That would be sufficient to address in-line
stepping (issue #1), but not for displaced-stepping (issue #3). To
handle displaced-stepping, we need an event that is reported to the
_parent_ of the clone, as the information about the displaced step is
associated with the clone parent. TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CREATED
includes no indication of which thread is the parent that spawned the
new child. In fact, for some targets, like e.g., Windows, it would be
impossible to know which thread that was, as thread creation there
doesn't work by "cloning".
The solution implemented here is to model clone on fork/vfork, and
introduce a new TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED event. This event is
similar to TARGET_WAITKIND_FORKED and TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORKED, except
that we end up with a new thread in the same process, instead of a new
thread of a new process. Like FORKED and VFORKED, THREAD_CLONED
waitstatuses have a child_ptid property, and the child is held stopped
until GDB explicitly resumes it. This addresses the in-line stepping
case (issues #1 and #2).
The infrun code that handles displaced stepping fixup for the child
after a fork/vfork event is thus reused for THREAD_CLONE, with some
minimal conditions added, addressing the displaced stepping case
(issue #3).
The native Linux backend is adjusted to unconditionally report
TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED events to the core.
Following the follow_fork model in core GDB, we introduce a
target_follow_clone target method, which is responsible for making the
new clone child visible to the rest of GDB.
Subsequent patches will add clone events support to the remote
protocol and gdbserver.
displaced_step_in_progress_thread becomes unused with this patch, but
a new use will reappear later in the series. To avoid deleting it and
readding it back, this patch marks it with attribute unused, and the
latter patch removes the attribute again. We need to do this because
the function is static, and with no callers, the compiler would warn,
(error with -Werror), breaking the build.
This adds a new gdb.threads/stepi-over-clone.exp testcase, which
exercises stepping over a clone syscall, with displaced stepping vs
inline stepping, and all-stop vs non-stop. We already test stepping
over clone syscalls with gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp, but this test
uses pthreads, while the other test uses raw clone, and this one is
more thorough. The testcase passes on native GNU/Linux, but fails
against GDBserver. GDBserver will be fixed by a later patch in the
series.

gdb/linux: Delete all other LWPs immediately on ptrace exec event
I noticed that on an Ubuntu 20.04 system, after a following patch
("Step over clone syscall w/ breakpoint,
TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED"), the gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp
was passing cleanly, but still, we'd end up with four new unexpected
GDB core dumps:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of unexpected core files 4
# of expected passes 48
That said patch is making the pre-existing
gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp testcase (almost silently) expose a
latent problem in gdb/linux-nat.c, resulting in a GDB crash when:
#1 - a non-leader thread execs
#2 - the post-exec program stops somewhere
#3 - you kill the inferior
Instead of #3 directly, the testcase just returns, which ends up in
gdb_exit, tearing down GDB, which kills the inferior, and is thus
equivalent to #3 above.

The root of the problem is that when a non-leader LWP execs, it just
changes its tid to the tgid, replacing the pre-exec leader thread,
becoming the new leader. There's no thread exit event for the execing
thread. It's as if the old pre-exec LWP vanishes without trace. The
ptrace man page says:
"PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC (since Linux 2.5.46)
Stop the tracee at the next execve(2). A waitpid(2) by the
tracer will return a status value such that
status>>8 == (SIGTRAP | (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC<<8))
If the execing thread is not a thread group leader, the thread
ID is reset to thread group leader's ID before this stop.
Since Linux 3.0, the former thread ID can be retrieved with
PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG."
When the core of GDB processes an exec events, it deletes all the
threads of the inferior. But, that is too late -- deleting the thread
does not delete the corresponding LWP, so we end leaving the pre-exec
non-leader LWP stale in the LWP list. That's what leads to the crash
above -- linux_nat_target::kill iterates over all LWPs, and after the
patch in question, that code will look for the corresponding
thread_info for each LWP. For the pre-exec non-leader LWP still
listed, won't find one.
This patch fixes it, by deleting the pre-exec non-leader LWP (and
thread) from the LWP/thread lists as soon as we get an exec event out
of ptrace.
GDBserver does not need an equivalent fix, because it is already doing
this, as side effect of mourning the pre-exec process, in
gdbserver/linux-low.cc:
else if (event == PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC && cs.report_exec_events)
{
...
/* Delete the execing process and all its threads. */
mourn (proc);
switch_to_thread (nullptr);
The crash with gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp is not observable on
newer systems, which postdate the glibc change to move "libpthread.so"
internals to "libc.so.6", because right after the exec, GDB traps a
load event for "libc.so.6", which leads to GDB trying to open
libthread_db for the post-exec inferior, and, on such systems that
succeeds. When we load libthread_db, we call
linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps, which, as the name suggests, stops all
lwps, and then waits to see their stops. While doing this, GDB
detects that the pre-exec stale LWP is gone, and deletes it.
If we use "catch exec" to stop right at the exec before the
"libc.so.6" load event ever happens, and issue "kill" right there,
then GDB crashes on newer systems as well. So instead of tweaking
gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp to cover the fix, add a new
gdb.threads/threads-after-exec.exp testcase that uses "catch exec".
The test also uses the new "maint info linux-lwps" command if testing
on Linux native, which also exposes the stale LWP problem with an
unfixed GDB.
Also tweak a comment in infrun.c:follow_exec referring to how
linux-nat.c used to behave, as it would become stale otherwise.

bfd: aarch64: Fix broken BTI stub PR30930
Input sections are grouped together that can use the same stub area
(within reach) and these groups have a stable id.
Stubs have a name generated from the stub group id and target symbol.
When a relocation requires a stub with a name that already exists, the
stub is reused instead of adding a new one.
For an indirect branch stub another BTI stub may be inserted near the
target to provide a BTI landing pad.
The BTI stub can end up with the same stub group id and thus the same
name as the indirect stub. This happens if the target symbol is within
reach of the indirect branch stub. Then, due to the name collision,
only a single stub was emmitted which branched to itself causing an
infinite loop at runtime.
A possible solution is to just name the BTI stubs differently, but
since in the problematic case the indirect and BTI stub are in the
same stub area, a better solution is to emit a single stub with a
direct branch. The stub is still needed since the caller cannot reach
the target directly and we also want a BTI landing pad in the stub in
case other indirect stubs target the same symbol and thus need a BTI
stub.
In short we convert an indirect branch stub into a BTI stub when the
target is within reach and has no BTI. It is a hassle to change the
symbol of the stub so a BTI stub may end up with *_veneer instead of
*_bti_veneer after the conversion, but this should not matter much.
(Refactoring some of _bfd_aarch64_add_call_stub_entries would be
useful but too much for this bug fix patch.)
The same conversion to direct branch could be done even if the target
did not need a BTI. The stub groups are fixed in the current logic so
linking can fail if too many stubs are inserted and the section layout
is changed too much, but this only happens in extreme cases that can
be reasonably ignored. Because of this the target cannot go out of
reach during stub insertion so the optimization is valid, but not
implemented by this patch for the non-BTI case.

(all of these) && (any of these). In the opcode table more involved
combinations of features then also need expressing this way: "all"
entities first, follow by "any" entities enclosed in parentheses, e.g.
x64&(AVX|AVX512F). If the "all" part is empty, parentheses may not be
added around the "any" part (unless parsing logic was further relaxed).
Note that this way AVX512VL no longer needs as much special treatment,
and hence templates previously using AVX512F|AVX512VL are switched to
just AVX512VL.
Note further that this requires FMA handling as resulting from

The test currently fails for IEEE 128-bit floating point types. PowerPC
supports the IBM double 128-bit floating point format and IEEE 128-bit

floating point registers to store the 128-bit value. The IEEE 128-bit
floating point format stores the value in a single 128-bit vector-scalar
register (vsr).
The various floating point values, 32-bit float, 64-bit double, IBM double
128-bit float and IEEE 128-bit floating point numbers are all mapped to the
DWARF fpr numbers. The issue is the IEEE 128-bit floating point values are
actually stored in a vsr not the fprs. This patch changes the register
mapping for the vsrs from the fpr to the vsr registers so the value is

rs6000, Fix Linux DWARF register mapping
Overview of issues fixed by the patch.
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.

gdb: call update_thread_list for $_inferior_thread_count function
I noticed that sometimes the value returned by $_inferior_thread_count
can become out of sync with the actual thread count of the inferior,
and will disagree with the number of threads reported by 'info
threads'. This commit fixes this issue.
The cause of the problem is that 'info threads' includes a call to
update_thread_list, this can be seen in print_thread_info_1 in
thread.c, while $_inferior_thread_count doesn't include a similar
call, see the function inferior_thread_count_make_value also in
thread.c.
Of course, this is only a problem when GDB is running on a target that
relies on update_thread_list calls to learn about new threads,
e.g. remote or extended-remote targets. Native targets generally
learn about new threads as soon as they appear and will not have this
problem.
I ran into this issue when writing a test for the next commit which
uses inferior function calls to add an remove threads from an
inferior. But for testing I've made use of non-stop mode and
asynchronous inferior execution; by reading the inferior state I can
know when a new thread has been created, at which point I can print
$_inferior_thread_count while the inferior is still running. This is
important, if I stop the inferior then GDB will pass through an
update_thread_list call in the normal stop code, which will
synchronise the thread list, after which $_inferior_thread_count will
report the correct value.
With this change in place $_inferior_thread_count is now correct.

gdb: add a custom command completer for disassemble command
Add a new command completer function for the disassemble command.
There are two things that this completion function changes. First,
after the previous commit, the new function calls skip_over_slash_fmt,
which means that hitting tab after entering a /OPT flag now inserts a
space ready to start typing the address to disassemble at:
(gdb) disassemble /r<TAB>
(gdb) disassemble /r <CURSOR>
But also, we now get symbol completion after a /OPT option set,
previously this would do nothing:
(gdb) disassemble /r mai<TAB>
But now:
(gdb) disassemble /r mai<TAB>
(gdb) disassemble /r main <CURSOR>
Which was my main motivation for working on this commit.
However, I have made a second change in the completion function.
Currently, the disassemble command calls the generic
location_completer function, however, the disassemble docs say:
Note that the 'disassemble' command's address arguments are specified
using expressions in your programming language (*note Expressions:
Expressions.), not location specs (*note Location Specifications::).
So, for example, if you want to disassemble function 'bar' in file
'foo.c', you must type 'disassemble 'foo.c'::bar' and not 'disassemble
foo.c:bar'.
And indeed, if I try:
(gdb) disassemble hello.c:main
No symbol "hello" in current context.
(gdb) disassemble hello.c::main
No symbol "hello" in current context.
(gdb) disassemble 'hello.c'::main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
... snip ...
But, if I do this:
(gdb) disassemble hell<TAB>
(gdb) disassemble hello.c:<CURSOR>
which is a consequence of using the location_completer function. So
in this commit, after calling skip_over_slash_fmt, I forward the bulk
of the disassemble command completion to expression_completer. Now
when I try this:
(gdb) disassemble hell<TAB>
gives nothing, which I think is an improvement. There is one slight
disappointment, if I do:
(gdb) disassemble 'hell<TAB>
I still get nothing. I had hoped that this would expand to:
'hello.c':: but I guess this is a limitation of the current
expression_completer implementation, however, I don't think this is a
regression, the previous expansion was just wrong. Fixing
expression_completer is out of scope for this commit.
I've added some disassembler command completion tests, and also a test
that disassembling using 'FILE'::FUNC syntax works, as I don't think
that is tested anywhere.

gdb: error if /r and /b are used with disassemble command
The disassembler gained a new /b flag in this commit:

gdb: disassembler opcode display formatting
The /b and /r flags result in the instruction opcodes displayed in
different formats, so it's not possible to have both at the same
time. Currently the /b flag overrides the /r flag.
We have a similar situation with the /m and /s flags, but here, if the
user tries to use both flags then they will get an error.
I think the error is clearer, so in this commit I propose that we add
an error if /r and /b are both used.
Obviously this change breaks backwards compatibility. I don't have a
compelling argument for why we should make the change beyond my
feeling that it was a mistake not to add this error from the start,
and that the new behaviour is better.

gdb/arm: remove thumb bit in arm_adjust_breakpoint_address
When compiling gdb with -fsanitize=address on ARM, I get a crash in test
gdb.arch/arm-disp-step.exp, reproduced easily with:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/arm-disp-step/arm-disp-step -ex "break *test_call_end"

=================================================================
==23295==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0xb4a14fd1 at pc 0x01a48871 bp 0xbeab8490 sp 0xbeab8494
Since it doesn't require running the program, it can be reproduced locally on a
dev machine other than ARM, after acquiring the test binary.
The length of the allocate buffer `buf` is 1, and we try to extract an
integer of size 2 from it. The length of 1 comes from the subtraction
`bpaddr - boundary`. Normally, on ARM, all instructions are aligned on
a multiple of 2, so it's weird for this subtraction to result in 1. In
this case, boundary comes from the result of find_pc_partial_function
returning 0x549:
(gdb) p/x bpaddr
$2 = 0x54a
(gdb) p/x boundary
$3 = 0x549
(gdb) p/x bpaddr - boundary
$4 = 0x1
0x549 is the address of the test_call_subr label, 0x548, with the thumb
bit enabled. Before doing some math with the address, I think we need
to strip the thumb bit, like is done elsewhere (for instance for bpaddr
earlier in the same function).
I wonder if find_pc_partial_function should do that itself, in order to
return an address that is suitable for arithmetic. In any case, that
would be a change with a broad impact, so for now just fix the issue
locally.

Tests looking for certain .note-section recorded properties may not
involve object files from the underlying platform (e.g. via using the C
compiler for linking): Such object files may themselves have similar
note sections, and hence they may influence the overall outcome.
For now convert just the tests known to be affected by crt*.o coming
