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.

gdb: refactor objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file
This is purely a refactoring commit.
This commit splits objfile::find_and_add_separate_symbol_file into
some separate helper functions. My hope is that the steps for looking
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
commit, you might be tempted to think that removing the `has_dwarf`
local variable would be a good additional cleanup. After the next

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.

gdb/coffread: bring separate debug file logic into line with elfread.c
In this commit:
commit
8a92335bfca80cc9b4cd217505ea0dcbfdefbf07
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
setting a breakpoint in an inlined function didn't set multiple
breakpoints where one of them was at address 0.
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.
This patch fixes the single regression failure for the test on PowerPC.
It does not introduce any failures on X86-64.

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.
With this patch, we get:

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

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,

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.

Running the

added later in the series against gdbserver, after the

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.

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.
When trying the same but with in-line step over (displaced-stepping
disabled):

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.
