[gdb/cli] Handle pending ^C after rl_callback_read_char for readline 7
In commit
faf01aee1d0 ("[gdb] Handle pending ^C after rl_callback_read_char")
we handled a problem (described in detail in that commit) for readline >= 8
using public readline functions rl_pending_signal and rl_check_signals.
For readline 7 (note that we require at least readline 7 so there's no need to
worry about readline 6), there was no fix though, because rl_check_signals was
not available.
Fix this by instead using the private readline function _rl_signal_handler.
There is precedent for using private readline variables and functions, but
it's something we want to get rid of (PR build/10723). Nevertheless, I think
we can allow this specific instance because it's not used when building
against readline >= 8.
[ In the meanwhile, a fix was committed in the devel branch of the readline
repo, contained in commit
8d0c439 ("rollup of changes since readline-8.2"),
first proposed here (
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2022-10/msg00008.html ). ]

_bfd_free_cached_info
doc/bfdint.texi and comments in the aout and som code about this

about the possibility of later recreating anything lost by this

creating an archive map to reduce memory usage by throwing away

gdb: building inferior strings from within GDB
History Of This Patch
=====================
This commit aims to address PR gdb/21699. There have now been a
couple of attempts to fix this issue. Simon originally posted two
patches back in 2021:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-July/180894.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-July/180896.html
Before Pedro then posted a version of his own:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-July/180970.html
After this the conversation halted. Then in 2023 I (Andrew) also took
a look at this bug and posted two versions:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-April/198570.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-April/198680.html
The approach taken in my first patch was pretty similar to what Simon
originally posted back in 2021. My second attempt was only a slight
variation on the first.
Pedro then pointed out his older patch, and so we arrive at this
patch. The GDB changes here are mostly Pedro's work, but updated by
me (Andrew), any mistakes are mine.
The tests here are a combinations of everyone's work, and the commit
message is new, but copies bits from everyone's earlier work.
Problem Description
===================
Bug PR gdb/21699 makes the observation that using $_as_string with
GDB's printf can cause GDB to print unexpected data from the
inferior. The reproducer is pretty simple:
#include <stddef.h>
static char arena[100];
/* Override malloc() so value_coerce_to_target() gets a known
pointer, and we know we"ll see an error if $_as_string() gives
a string that isn't null terminated. */
void
*malloc (size_t size)
{
memset (arena, 'x', sizeof (arena));
if (size > sizeof (arena))
return NULL;
return arena;
}
int
main ()
{
return 0;
}
And then in a GDB session:
$ gdb -q test
Reading symbols from /tmp/test...
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4004c8: file test.c, line 17.
Starting program: /tmp/test
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:17
17 return 0;
(gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string("hello")
"hello"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(gdb) quit
The problem above is caused by how value_cstring is used within
py-value.c, but once we understand the issue then it turns out that
value_cstring is used in an unexpected way in many places within GDB.
Within py-value.c we have a null-terminated C-style string. We then
pass a pointer to this string, along with the length of this
string (so not including the null-character) to value_cstring.
In value_cstring GDB allocates an array value of the given character
type, and copies in requested number of characters. However
value_cstring does not add a null-character of its own. This means
that the value created by calling value_cstring is only
null-terminated if the null-character is included in the passed in
length. In py-value.c this is not the case, and indeed, in most uses
of value_cstring, this is not the case.
When GDB tries to print one of these strings the value contents are
pushed to the inferior, and then read back as a C-style string, that
is, GDB reads inferior memory until it finds a null-terminator. For
the py-value.c case, no null-terminator is pushed into the inferior,
so GDB will continue reading inferior memory until a null-terminator
is found, with unpredictable results.
Patch Description
=================
The first thing this patch does is better define what the arguments
for the two function value_cstring and value_string should represent.
The comments in the header file are updated to describe whether the
length argument should, or should not, include a null-character.
Also, the data argument is changed to type gdb_byte. The functions as
they currently exist will handle wide-characters, in which case more
than one 'char' would be needed for each character. As such using
gdb_byte seems to make more sense.
To avoid adding casts throughout GDB, I've also added an overload that
still takes a 'char *', but asserts that the character type being used
is of size '1'.
The value_cstring function is now responsible for adding a null
character at the end of the string value it creates.
However, once we start looking at how value_cstring is used, we
realise there's another, related, problem. Not every language's
strings are null terminated. Fortran and Ada strings, for example,
are just an array of characters, GDB already has the function
value_string which can be used to create such values.
Consider this example using current GDB:
(gdb) set language ada
(gdb) p $_gdb_setting("arch")
$1 = (97, 117, 116, 111)
(gdb) ptype $
type = array (1 .. 4) of char
(gdb) p $_gdb_maint_setting("test-settings string")
$2 = (0)
(gdb) ptype $
type = array (1 .. 1) of char
This shows two problems, first, the $_gdb_setting and
$_gdb_maint_setting functions are calling value_cstring using the
builtin_char character, rather than a language appropriate type. In
the first call, the 'arch' case, the value_cstring call doesn't
include the null character, so the returned array only contains the
expected characters. But, in the $_gdb_maint_setting example we do
end up including the null-character, even though this is not expected
for Ada strings.
This commit adds a new language method language_defn::value_string,
this function takes a pointer and length and creates a language
appropriate value that represents the string. For C, C++, etc this
will be a null-terminated string (by calling value_cstring), and for
Fortran and Ada this can be a bounded array of characters with no null
terminator. Additionally, this new language_defn::value_string
function is responsible for selecting a language appropriate character
type.
After this commit the only calls to value_cstring are from the C
expression evaluator and from the default language_defn::value_string.
And the only calls to value_string are from Fortan, Ada, and ObjectC
related code.

Harden PowerPC64 OPD handling against fuzzers
PowerPC64 ELFv1 object files should have at most one .opd section, and
OPD handling in elf64-ppc.c makes use of this fact by caching some
.opd section info in the per-object bfd.tdata. This was done to avoid
another word in the target specific section data. Of course, fuzzers
don't respect the ABI, and even non-malicious users can accidentally
create multiple .opd sections. So it is better to avoid possible
buffer overflows and other confusion when OPD handling for a second
.opd section references data for the first .opd section, by keeping
the data per-section.
The patch also fixes a memory leak, and a corner case where I think we
could hit an assertion in opd_entry_value or read out of bounds in
ppc64_elf_branch_reloc doing a final link producing non-ppc64 output.
(It's a really rare corner case because not only would you need to be
linking ppc64 objects to non-ppc64 output, you'd also need a branch
reloc symbol to be defined in a .opd section of a non-ppc64 input.)

[gdb/tui] Fix fingerprint for cmd-only layout
I added a cmd-only layout:
...
(gdb) tui new-layout cmd cmd 1
...
and set it:
...
(gdb) layout cmd
...
which gave me the expect result: only the cmd window in the screen.
However, after going back to layout src:
...
(gdb) layout src
...
I got a source window with only one line in it, and the cmd window taking most
of the screen.
I traced this back to tui_set_layout, where for both the old and the new
layout the fingerprint of the cmd window in the layout is taken. If the
fingerprint is the same, an effort will be done to preserve the command
window size.
The fingerprint is "VC" for both the old (cmd) and new (src) layouts, which
explains the behaviour.
I think this is essentially a bug in the finger print calculation, and it
should be "C" for the cmd layout.
Fix this by not adding a V or H in the fingerprint if the list size is one.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb: add support for %V to printf command
This commit adds a new format for the printf and dprintf commands:
'%V'. This new format takes any GDB expression and formats it as a
string, just as GDB would for a 'print' command, e.g.:
(gdb) print a1
$a = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}
(gdb) printf "%V\n", a1
{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}
(gdb)
It is also possible to pass the same options to %V as you might pass
to the print command, e.g.:
(gdb) print -elements 3 -- a1
$4 = {2, 4, 6...}
(gdb) printf "%V[-elements 3]\n", a1
{2, 4, 6...}
(gdb)
This new feature would effectively replace an existing feature of GDB,
the $_as_string builtin convenience function. However, the
$_as_string function has a few problems which this new feature solves:
1. $_as_string doesn't currently work when the inferior is not
running, e.g:
(gdb) printf "%s", $_as_string(a1)
You can't do that without a process to debug.
(gdb)
The reason for this is that $_as_string returns a value object with
string type. When we try to print this we call value_as_address,
which ends up trying to push the string into the inferior's address
space.
Clearly we could solve this problem, the string data exists in GDB, so
there's no reason why we have to push it into the inferior, but this
is an existing problem that would need solving.
2. $_as_string suffers from the fact that C degrades arrays to
pointers, e.g.:
(gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(a1)
0x404260 <a1>
(gdb)
The implementation of $_as_string is passed a gdb.Value object that is
a pointer, it doesn't understand that it's actually an array. Solving
this would be harder than issue #1 I think. The whole array to
pointer transformation is part of our expression evaluation. And in
most cases this is exactly what we want. It's not clear to me how
we'd (easily) tell GDB that we didn't want this reduction in _some_
cases. But I'm sure this is solvable if we really wanted to.
3. $_as_string is a gdb.Function sub-class, and as such is passed
gdb.Value objects. There's no super convenient way to pass formatting
options to $_as_string. By this I mean that the new %V feature
supports print formatting options. Ideally, we might want to add this
feature to $_as_string, we might imagine it working something like:
(gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(a1,
elements = 3,
array_indexes = True)
where the first item is the value to print, while the remaining
options are the print formatting options. However, this relies on
Python calling syntax, which isn't something that convenience
functions handle. We could possibly rely on strictly positional
arguments, like:
(gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(a1, 3, 1)
But that's clearly terrible as there's far more print formatting
options, and if you needed to set the 9th option you'd need to fill in
all the previous options.
And right now, the only way to pass these options to a gdb.Function is
to have GDB first convert them all into gdb.Value objects, which is
really overkill for what we want.
The new %V format solves all these problems: the string is computed
and printed entirely on the GDB side, we are able to print arrays as
actual arrays rather than pointers, and we can pass named format
arguments.
Finally, the $_as_string is sold in the manual as allowing users to
print the string representation of flag enums, so given:
enum flags
{
FLAG_A = (1 << 0),
FLAG_B = (1 << 1),
FLAG_C = (1 << 1)
};
enum flags ff = FLAG_B;
We can:
(gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(ff)
FLAG_B
This works just fine with %V too:
(gdb) printf "%V\n", ff
FLAG_B
So all functionality of $_as_string is replaced by %V. I'm not
proposing to remove $_as_string, there might be users currently
depending on it, but I am proposing that we don't push $_as_string in
the documentation.
As %V is a feature of printf, GDB's dprintf breakpoints naturally gain
access to this feature too. dprintf breakpoints can be operated in
three different styles 'gdb' (use GDB's printf), 'call' (call a
function in the inferior), or 'agent' (perform the dprintf on the
remote).
The use of '%V' will work just fine when dprintf-style is 'gdb'.
When dprintf-style is 'call' the format string and arguments are
passed to an inferior function (printf by default). In this case GDB
doesn't prevent use of '%V', but the documentation makes it clear that
support for '%V' will depend on the inferior function being called.
I chose this approach because the current implementation doesn't place
any restrictions on the format string when operating in 'call' style.
That is, the user might already be calling a function that supports
custom print format specifiers (maybe including '%V') so, I claim, it
would be wrong to block use of '%V' in this case. The documentation
does make it clear that users shouldn't expect this to "just work"
though.
When dprintf-style is 'agent' then GDB does no support the use of
'%V' (right now). This is handled at the point when GDB tries to
process the format string and send the dprintf command to the remote,
here's an example:
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
(gdb) dprintf call_me, "%V", a1
Dprintf 1 at 0x401152: file /tmp/hello.c, line 8.
(gdb) set sysroot /
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x
Remote debugging using | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x
stdin/stdout redirected
Process /tmp/hello.x created; pid =
3088822
Remote debugging using stdio
Reading symbols from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2...
(No debugging symbols found in /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
0x00007ffff7fd3110 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb) set dprintf-style agent
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Unrecognized format specifier 'V' in printf
Command aborted.
(gdb)
This is exactly how GDB would handle any other invalid format
specifier, for example:
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
(gdb) dprintf call_me, "%Q", a1
Dprintf 1 at 0x401152: file /tmp/hello.c, line 8.
(gdb) set sysroot /
(gdb) target remote | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x
Remote debugging using | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x
stdin/stdout redirected
Process /tmp/hello.x created; pid =
3089193
Remote debugging using stdio

(gdb) set dprintf-style agent
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Unrecognized format specifier 'Q' in printf
Command aborted.
(gdb)
The error message isn't the greatest, but improving that can be put
off for another day I hope.
