gdb: make user-created frames reinflatable
This patch teaches frame_info_ptr to reinflate user-created frames
(frames created through create_new_frame, with the "select-frame view"
command).
Before this patch, frame_info_ptr doesn't support reinflating
user-created frames, because it currently reinflates by getting the
current target frame (for frame 0) or frame_find_by_id (for other
frames). To reinflate a user-created frame, we need to call
create_new_frame, to make it lookup an existing user-created frame, or
otherwise create one.
So, in prepare_reinflate, get the frame id even if the frame has level
0, if it is user-created. In reinflate, if the saved frame id is user
create it, call create_new_frame.
In order to test this, I initially enhanced the gdb.base/frame-view.exp
test added by the previous patch by setting a pretty-printer for the
type of the function parameters, in which we do an inferior call. This
causes print_frame_args to not reinflate its frame (which is a
user-created one) properly. On one machine (my Arch Linux one), it
properly catches the bug, as the frame is not correctly restored after
printing the first parameter, so it messes up the second parameter:
frame
#0 baz (z1=hahaha, z2=<error reading variable: frame address is not available.>) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-view.c:40
40 return z1.m + z2.n;

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/frame-view.exp: with_pretty_printer=true: frame again
However, on another machine (my Ubuntu 22.04 one), it just passes fine,
without the appropriate fix. I then thought about writing a selftest
for that, it's more reliable. I left the gdb.base/frame-view.exp pretty
printer test there, it's already written, and we never know, it might
catch some unrelated issue some day.

gdb: make it possible to restore selected user-created frames
I would like to improve frame_info_ptr to automatically grab the
information needed to reinflate a frame, and automatically reinflate it
as needed. One thing that is in the way is the fact that some frames
can be created out of thin air by the create_new_frame function. These
frames are not the fruit of unwinding from the target's current frame.
These frames are created by the "select-frame view" command.
These frames are not correctly handled by the frame save/restore
functions, save_selected_frame, restore_selected_frame and
lookup_selected_frame. This can be observed here, using the test
included in this patch:

Here, we create a custom frame for thread 1 (using the stack from thread

(gdb) select-frame view 0x7ffff7cc3f80 0x5555555551a2
The first calls to "frame" looks good:

But not the second one:
(gdb) frame
#0 0x00007ffff7d4b4b6 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
This second "frame" command shows the current target frame instead of
the user-created frame.
It's not totally clear how the "select-frame view" feature is expected
to behave, especially since it's not tested. I heard accounts that it
used to be possible to select a frame like this and do "up" and "down"
to navigate the backtrace starting from that frame. The fact that
create_new_frame calls frame_unwind_find_by_frame to install the right
unwinder suggest that it used to be possible. But that doesn't work
today:
(gdb) select-frame view 0x7ffff7cc3f80 0x5555555551a2
(gdb) up
Initial frame selected; you cannot go up.
(gdb) down
Bottom (innermost) frame selected; you cannot go down.
and "backtrace" always shows the actual thread's backtrace, it ignores
the user-created frame:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff7d4b4b6 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x00007ffff7d50403 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x000055555555521a in main () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-view.c:56
I don't want to address all the `select-frame view` issues , but I think
we can agree that the "frame" command changing the selected frame, as
shown above, is a bug. I would expect that command to show the
currently selected frame and not change it.
This happens because of the scoped_restore_selected_frame object in
print_frame_args. The frame information is saved in the constructor
(the backtrace below), and restored in the destructor.

Since the user-created frame has level 0 (identified by the saved level
-1), lookup_selected_frame just reselects the target's current frame,
and the user-created frame is lost.
My goal here is to fix this particular problem.
Currently, select_frame does not set selected_frame_id and
selected_frame_level for frames with level 0. It leaves them at
null_frame_id / -1, indicating to restore_selected_frame to use the
target's current frame. User-created frames also have level 0, so add a
special case them such that select_frame saves their selected id and
level.
save_selected_frame does not need any change.
Change the assertion in restore_selected_frame that checks `frame_level
!= 0` to account for the fact that we can restore user-created frames,
which have level 0.
Finally, change lookup_selected_frame to make it able to re-create
user-created frame_info objects from selected_frame_level and
selected_frame_id.
Add a minimal test case for the case described above, that is the
"select-frame view" command followed by the "frame" command twice. In
order to have a known stack frame to switch to, the test spawns a second
thread, and tells the first thread to use the other thread's top frame.

gdb: add user-created frames to stash
A subsequent patch makes it possible for frame_info_ptr to reinflate
user-created frames. If two frame_info_ptr objects wrapping the same
user-created frame_info need to do reinflation, we want them to end up
pointing to the same frame_info instance, and not create two separate
frame_infos. Otherwise, GDB gets confused down the line, as the state
kept in one frame_info object starts differing from the other
frame_info.
Achieve this by making create_new_frame place the user-created frames in
the frame stash. This way, when the second frame_info_ptr does
reinflation, it will find the existing frame_info object, created by the
other frame_info_ptr, in the frame stash.
To make the frame stash differentiate between regular and user-created
frame infos which would otherwise be equal, change frame_addr_hash and
frame_id::operator== to account for frame_id::user_created_p.
I made create_new_frame look up existing frames in the stash, and only
create one if it doesn't find one. The goal is to avoid the
"select-frame view"/"info frame view"/"frame view" commands from
overriding existing entries into the stash, should the user specify the
same frame more than once. This will also help in the subsequent patch
that makes frame_info_ptr capable of reinflating user-created frames.
It will be able to just call create_new_frame and it will do the right
thing.

Faster string merging
* use power-of-two hash table
* use better hash function (hashing 32bits at once and with better
mixing characteristics)
* use input-offset-to-entry maps instead of retaining full input
contents for lookup time
* don't reread SEC_MERGE section multiple times
* care for cache behaviour for the hot lookup routine
The overall effect is less usage in libz and much faster string merging
itself. On a debug-info-enabled cc1 the effect at the time of this
writing on the machine I used was going from 14400 perf samples to 9300
perf samples or from 3.7 seconds to 2.4 seconds, i.e. about 33% .

with the `set print elements' option, and then again with the limit

GDB: Add a character string limiting option
This commit splits the `set/show print elements' option into two. We
retain `set/show print elements' for controlling how many elements of an
array we print, but a new `set/show print characters' setting is added
which is used for controlling how many characters of a string are
printed.
The motivation behind this change is to allow users a finer level of
control over how data is printed, reflecting that, although strings can
be thought of as arrays of characters, users often want to treat these
two things differently.
For compatibility reasons by default the `set/show print characters'
option is set to `elements', which makes the limit for character strings
follow the setting of the `set/show print elements' option, as it used
to. Using `set print characters' with any other value makes the limit
independent from the `set/show print elements' setting, however it can
be restored to the default with the `set print characters elements'
command at any time.
A corresponding `-characters' option for the `print' command is added,
with the same semantics, i.e. one can use `elements' to make a given
`print' invocation follow the limit of elements, be it set with the
`-elements' option also given with the same invocation or taken from the
`set/show print elements' setting, for characters as well regardless of
the current setting of the `set/show print characters' option.
The GDB changes are all pretty straightforward, just changing references
to the old 'print_max' to use a new `get_print_max_chars' helper which
figures out which of the two of `print_max' and `print_max_chars' values
to use.
Likewise, the documentation is just updated to reference the new setting
where appropriate.
To make people's life easier the message shown by `show print elements'
now indicates if the setting also applies to character strings:
(gdb) set print characters elements
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on string chars or array elements to print is 200.
(gdb) set print characters unlimited
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on array elements to print is 200.
(gdb)
and the help text shows the dependency as well:
(gdb) help set print elements
Set limit on array elements to print.
"unlimited" causes there to be no limit.
This setting also applies to string chars when "print characters"
is set to "elements".
(gdb)
In the testsuite there are two minor updates, one to add `-characters'
to the list of completions now shown for the `print' command, and a bare
minimum pair of checks for the right handling of `set print characters'
and `show print characters', copied from the corresponding checks for
`set print elements' and `show print elements' respectively.

GDB: Allow arbitrary keywords in integer set commands
Rather than just `unlimited' allow the integer set commands (or command
options) to define arbitrary keywords for the user to use, removing
hardcoded arrangements for the `unlimited' keyword.
Remove the confusingly named `var_zinteger', `var_zuinteger' and
`var_zuinteger_unlimited' `set'/`show' command variable types redefining
them in terms of `var_uinteger', `var_integer' and `var_pinteger', which
have the range of [0;UINT_MAX], [INT_MIN;INT_MAX], and [0;INT_MAX] each.
Following existing practice `var_pinteger' allows extra negative values
to be used, however unlike `var_zuinteger_unlimited' any number of such
values can be defined rather than just `-1'.
The "p" in `var_pinteger' stands for "positive", for the lack of a more
appropriate unambiguous letter, even though 0 obviously is not positive;
"n" would be confusing as to whether it stands for "non-negative" or
"negative".
Add a new structure, `literal_def', the entries of which define extra
keywords allowed for a command and numerical values they correspond to.
Those values are not verified against the basic range supported by the
underlying variable type, allowing extra values to be allowed outside
that range, which may or may not be individually made visible to the
user. An optional value translation is possible with the structure to
follow the existing practice for some commands where user-entered 0 is
internally translated to UINT_MAX or INT_MAX. Such translation can now
be arbitrary. Literals defined by this structure are automatically used
for completion as necessary.
So for example:
const literal_def integer_unlimited_literals[] =
{
{ "unlimited", INT_MAX, 0 },
{ nullptr }
};
defines an extra `unlimited' keyword and a user-visible 0 value, both of
which get translated to INT_MAX for the setting to be used with.
Similarly:
const literal_def zuinteger_unlimited_literals[] =
{
{ "unlimited", -1, -1 },
{ nullptr }
};
defines the same keyword and a corresponding user-visible -1 value that
is used for the requested setting. If the last member were omitted (or
set to `{}') here, then only the keyword would be allowed for the user
to enter and while -1 would still be used internally trying to enter it
as a part of a command would result in an "integer -1 out of range"
error.
Use said error message in all cases (citing the invalid value requested)
replacing "only -1 is allowed to set as unlimited" previously used for
`var_zuinteger_unlimited' settings only rather than propagating it to
`var_pinteger' type. It could only be used for the specific case where
a single extra `unlimited' keyword was defined standing for -1 and the
use of numeric equivalents is discouraged anyway as it is for historical
reasons only that they expose GDB internals, confusingly different
across variable types. Similarly update the "must be >= -1" Guile error
message.
Redefine Guile and Python parameter types in terms of the new variable
types and interpret extra keywords as Scheme keywords and Python strings
used to communicate corresponding parameter values. Do not add a new
PARAM_INTEGER Guile parameter type, however do handle the `var_integer'
variable type now, permitting existing parameters defined by GDB proper,
such as `listsize', to be accessed from Scheme code.
With these changes in place it should be trivial for a Scheme or Python
programmer to expand the syntax of the `make-parameter' command and the
`gdb.Parameter' class initializer to have arbitrary extra literals along
with their internal representation supplied.
Update the testsuite accordingly.

gdb: care for dynamic objfiles in build_id_bfd_get ()
Accessing gdb.Objfile.build_id caused GDB to crash when objfile is
dynamic, that is created by JIT reader API.
The issue was NULL-pointer dereferencing in build_id_bfd_get () because
dynamic objfiles have no underlaying BFD structure. This commit fixes
the problem by a NULL-check in build_id_bfd_get ().

PowerPC: fix for gdb.reverse/finish-precsave.exp and gdb.reverse/finish-reverse.exp
PR record/29927 - reverse-finish requires two reverse next instructions to
reach previous source line
PowerPC uses two entry points called the local entry point (LEP) and the
global entry point (GEP). Normally the LEP is used when calling a
function. However, if the table of contents (TOC) value in register 2 is
not valid the GEP is called to setup the TOC before execution continues at
the LEP. When executing in reverse, the function finish_backward sets the
break point at the alternate entry point (GEP). However if the forward
execution enters via the normal entry point (LEP), the reverse execution
never sees the break point at the GEP of the function. Reverse execution
continues until the next break point is encountered or the end of the
recorded log is reached causing gdb to stop at the wrong place.
This patch adds a new address to struct execution_control_state to hold the
address of the alternate function start address, known as the GEP on
PowerPC. The finish_backwards function is updated. If the stopping point
is between the two entry points (the LEP and GEP on PowerPC), the stepping
range is set to execute back to the alternate entry point (GEP on PowerPC).
Otherwise, a breakpoint is inserted at the normal entry point (LEP on
PowerPC).
Function process_event_stop_test checks uses a stepping range to stop
execution in the caller at the first instruction of the source code line.
Note, on systems that only support one entry point, the address of the two
entry points are the same.
Test finish-reverse-next.exp is updated to include tests for the
reverse-finish command when the function is entered via the normal entry
point (i.e. the LEP) and the alternate entry point (i.e. the GEP).
The patch has been tested on X86 and PowerPC with no regressions.

X86: reverse-finish fix
PR record/29927 - reverse-finish requires two reverse next instructions to
reach previous source line
Currently on X86, when executing the finish command in reverse, gdb does a
single step from the first instruction in the callee to get back to the
caller. GDB stops on the last instruction in the source code line where
the call was made. When stopped at the last instruction of the source code
line, a reverse next or step command will stop at the first instruction
of the same source code line thus requiring two step/next commands to
reach the previous source code line. It should only require one step/next
command to reach the previous source code line.
By contrast, a reverse next or step command from the first line in a
function stops at the first instruction in the source code line where the
call was made.
This patch fixes the reverse finish command so it will stop at the first
instruction of the source line where the function call was made. The
behavior on X86 for the reverse-finish command now matches doing a
reverse-next from the beginning of the function.
The proceed_to_finish flag in struct thread_control_state is no longer
used. This patch removes the declaration, initialization and setting of
the flag.
This patch requires a number of regression tests to be updated. Test
gdb.mi/mi-reverse.exp no longer needs to execute two steps to get to the
previous line. The gdb output for tests gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp
and gdb.reverse/until-reverse.exp changed slightly. The expected result in
tests gdb.reverse/amd64-failcall-reverse.exp and
gdb.reverse/singlejmp-reverse.exp are updated to the correct expected
result.
This patch adds a new test gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp to test the
reverse-finish command when returning from the entry point and from the
body of the function.
The step_until proceedure in test gdb.reverse/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp
was moved to lib/gdb.exp and renamed cmd_until.
The patch has been tested on X86 and PowerPC to verify no additional
regression failures occured.

gas: arm: Fix a further IT-predicated vcvt issue in the presense of MVE vcvtn
Previously we had experienced issues with assembling a "VCVTNE" instruction
in the presence of the MVE architecture extension, because it could be
interpreted both as:
* The base instruction VCVT + NE for IT predication when inside an IT block.
* The MVE instruction VCVTN + E in the Else of a VPT block.
Given a C reproducer of:
```
int test_function(float value)
{
int ret_val = 10;
if (value != 0.0)
{
ret_val = (int) value;
}
return ret_val;
}
```
GCC generates a VCVTNE instruction based on the `truncsisf2_vfp`
pattern, which will look like:
`vcvtne.s32.f32 s-reg, s-reg`
This still triggers an error due to being misidentified as "vcvtn+e"
Similar errors were found with other type combinations and instruction
patterns (these have all been added to the testing of this patch).
This class of errors was previously worked around by:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-August/112728.html
which addressed this by looking at the operand types, however,
that isn't adequate to cover all the extra cases that have been
found. Instead, we add some special-casing logic earlier when
the instructions are parsed that is conditional on whether we are
in a VPT block or not, when the instruction is parsed.
