Pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH down from top-level Makefile
[Sending to binutils, gdb-patches and gcc-patches, since it touches the
top-level Makefile/configure]
I have my debuginfod library installed in a non-standard location
(/opt/debuginfod), which requires me to set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/debuginfod/lib/pkg-config. If I just set it during
configure:
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/debuginfod/lib/pkg-config ./configure --with-debuginfod
$ make
or
$ ./configure --with-debuginfod PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/debuginfod/lib/pkg-config
$ make
Then PKG_CONFIG_PATH is only present (and ignored) during the top-level
configure. When running make (which runs gdb's and binutils'
configure), PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not set, which results in their configure
script not finding the library:
checking for libdebuginfod >= 0.179... no
configure: error: "--with-debuginfod was given, but libdebuginfod is missing or unusable."
Change the top-level configure/Makefile system to capture the value
passed when configuring the top-level and pass it down to
subdirectories (similar to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc).
I don't know much about the top-level build system, so I really don't
know if I did this correctly. The changes are:
- Use AC_SUBST(PKG_CONFIG_PATH) in configure.ac, so that
@PKG_CONFIG_PATH@ gets replaced with the actual PKG_CONFIG_PATH value
in config files (i.e. Makefile)
- Add a PKG_CONFIG_PATH Makefile variable in Makefile.tpl, initialized
to @PKG_CONFIG_PATH@
- Add PKG_CONFIG_PATH to HOST_EXPORTS in Makefile.tpl, which are the
variables set when running the sub-configures
I initially added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to flags_to_pass, in Makefile.def, but
I don't think it's needed. AFAIU, this defines the flags to pass down
when calling "make" in subdirectories. We only need PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
be passed down during configure. After that, it's captured in
gdb/config.status, so even if a "make" causes a re-configure later
(because gdb/configure has changed, for example), the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
value will be remembered.
ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add AC_SUBST(PKG_CONFIG_PATH).
* configure: Re-generate.
* Makefile.tpl (HOST_EXPORTS): Pass PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
(PKG_CONFIG_PATH): New.
* Makefile.in: Re-generate.

as position independent, so the address GDB grabs in the first place
isn't where the code ends up after running.
Fix this by linking the binary as non-position-independent. The
alternative would be to compute the relocated address where to place the
breakpoint, but that's not very straightforward, unfortunately.
I was confused for a while, I was trying to load the binary in GDB
manually to get the symbol address, but GDB was telling me the symbol

is that GDB strips the binary in-place, so we don't have access to the

Fortran 2003 supports type extension. This patch allows access

In doing so the patch also fixes a bug in GDB when trying to access the

class member.
This patch fixes PR22497 and PR26373 on GDB side.
Using the example Fortran program from PR22497
program mvce

type, extends(my_type) :: extended_type
end type extended_type
type(my_type) :: foo

(gdb) p bar%my_int

(gdb) p bar%my_type%my_int
A syntax error in expression, near `my_type%my_int'.
(gdb) p bar
$1 = ( my_type = ( my_int = 1 ) )
After:
(gdb) p bar%my_type
$1 = ( my_int = 1 )
(gdb) p bar%my_int

(gdb) p bar%my_type%my_int
$3 = 1
(gdb) p bar
$4 = ( my_type = ( my_int = 1 ) )
In the above example "p bar%my_int" requires the compiler to emit
information about the inheritance relationship between extended_type
and my_type which gfortran and flang currently do not de. The
respective issue gcc/49475 has been put as kfail.

gdb: add support for Fortran's ASSUMED RANK arrays
Added support for Fortran assumed rank arrays. Unfortunately, this
commit contained a bug that means though GDB can correctly calculate
the rank of an assumed rank array, GDB can't fetch the contents of an
assumed rank array.
The history of this patch can be seen on the mailing list here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-January/185306.html
The patches that were finally committed can be found here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-March/186906.html
The original patches did support fetching the array contents, it was
only the later series that introduced the regression.
The problem is that when calculating the array rank the result is a
count of the number of ranks, i.e. this is a 1 based result, 1, 2, 3,
etc.
In contrast, when computing the details of any particular rank the
value passed to the DWARF expression evaluator should be a 0 based
rank offset, i.e. a 0 based number, 0, 1, 2, etc.
In the patches that were originally merged, this was not the case, and
we were passing the 1 based rank number to the expression evaluator,
e.g. passing 1 when we should pass 0, 2 when we should pass 1, etc.
As a result the DWARF expression evaluator was reading the
wrong (undefined) memory, and returning garbage results.
In this commit I have extended the test case to cover checking the
array contents, I've then ensured we make use of the correct rank
value, and extended some comments, and added or adjusted some asserts
as appropriate.

gdb/testsuite: add "macros" option to gdb_compile
Make gdb_compile handle a new "macros" option, which makes it pass the
appropriate flag to make the compiler include macro information in the
debug info. This will help simplify tests using macros, reduce
redundant code, and make it easier to add support for a new compiler.
Right now it only handles clang specially (using -fdebug-macro) and
falls back to -g3 otherwise (which works for gcc). Other compilers can
be added as needed.
There are some tests that are currently skipped if the compiler is nor
gcc nor clang. After this patch, the tests will attempt to run (the -g3
fall back will be used). That gives a chance to people using other
compilers to notice something is wrong and maybe add support for their
compiler. If it is needed to support a compiler that doesn't have a way
to include macro information, then we can always introduce a
"skip_macro_tests" that can be used to skip over them.

gdb: always add the default register groups
There's a set of 7 default register groups. If we don't add any
gdbarch specific register groups during gdbarch initialisation, then
when we iterate over the register groups using reggroup_next and
reggroup_prev we will make use of these 7 default groups. See the use
of default_groups in gdb/reggroups.c for details on this.
However, if the gdbarch adds its own groups during gdbarch
initialisation, then these groups will be used in preference to the
default groups.
A problem arises though if the particular architecture makes use of
the target description mechanism. If the default target
description(s) (i.e. those internal to GDB that are used when the user
doesn't provide their own) don't mention any additional register
groups then the default register groups will be used.
But if the target description does mention additional groups then the
default groups are not used, and instead, the groups from the target
description are used.
The problem with this is that what usually happens is that the target
description will mention additional groups, e.g. groups for special
registers. Most architectures that use target descriptions work
around this by adding all (or most) of the default register groups in
all cases. See i386_add_reggroups, aarch64_add_reggroups,
riscv_add_reggroups, xtensa_add_reggroups, and others.
In this patch, my suggestion is that we should just add the default
register groups for every architecture, always. This change is in
gdb/reggroups.c.
All the remaining changes are me updating the various architectures to
not add the default groups themselves.
So, where will this change be visible to the user? I think the
following commands will possibly change:
* info registers / info all-registers:
The user can provide a register group to these commands. For example,
on csky, we previously never added the 'vector' group. Now, as a
default group, this will be available, but (presumably) will not
contain any registers. I don't think this is necessarily a bad
thing, there's something to be said for having some consistent
defaults available. There are other architectures that didn't add
all 7 of the defaults, which will now have gained additional groups.
* maint print reggroups
This prints the set of all available groups. As a maintenance
command I'm less concerned with the output changing here.
Obviously, for the architectures that didn't previously add all the
defaults, this list just got bigger.
* maint print register-groups
This prints all the registers, and the groups they are in. If the
defaults were not previously being added then a register (obviously)
can't appear in one of the default groups. Now the groups are
available then registers might be in more groups than previously.
However, this is again a maintenance command, so I'm less concerned
about this changing.

At this point the data (register) window should be displayed, but will

The same happens with 'tui reg prev' (but the error message is
slightly different).
At this point you can continue to use 'tui reg next' and/or 'tui reg
prev' and you'll keep getting the error message.
The problem is that when the data (register) window is first
displayed, it's current register group is nullptr. As a consequence
tui_reg_next and tui_reg_prev (tui/tui-regs.c) will always just return
nullptr, which triggers an error in tui_reg_command.
In this commit I change tui_reg_next and tui_reg_prev so that they
instead return the first and last register group respectively if the
current register group is nullptr.
So, after this, using 'tui reg next' will (in the above case) show the

gdb/tui: avoid theoretical bug with 'tui reg' command
While looking at the 'tui reg' command as part of another patch, I
spotted a theoretical bug.
The 'tui reg' command takes the name of a register group, but also
handles partial register group matches, though the partial match has to
be unique. The current command logic goes:
With the code as currently written, if a target description named a
register group either 'prev' or 'next' then GDB would see this as an
ambiguous register name, and refuse to switch groups.
Naming a register group 'prev' or 'next' seems pretty unlikely, but,
by adding a single else block we can prevent this problem.
Now, if there's a 'prev' or 'next' register group, the user will not
be able to select the group directly, the 'prev' and 'next' names will
always iterate through the available groups instead. But at least the
user could select their groups by iteration, rather than direct
selection.

(More stack frames follow...)
It turns out that the problem is that the async event handler
mechanism has been invoked, but this has not yet been initialized.
If we look at gdb_init (in gdb/top.c) we can indeed see the call to
gdb_init_signals is after the call to initialize_current_architecture.
If I reorder the calls, moving gdb_init_signals earlier, then the
initial error is resolved, however, things are still broken. I now
see the same "Quit this debugging session? (y or n)" prompt, but when
I provide an answer and press return GDB immediately crashes.
So what's going on now? The next problem is that the call_readline
field within the current_ui structure is not initialized, and this
callback is invoked to process the reply I entered.
The problem is that call_readline is setup as a result of calling
set_top_level_interpreter, which is called from captured_main_1.
Unfortunately, set_top_level_interpreter is called after gdb_init is
called.
I wondered how to solve this problem for a while, however, I don't
know if there's an easy "just reorder some lines" solution here.
Looking through captured_main_1 there seems to be a bunch of
dependencies between printing various things, parsing config files,
and setting up the interpreter. I'm sure there is a solution hiding
in there somewhere.... I'm just not sure I want to spend any longer
looking for it.
So.
I propose a simpler solution, more of a hack/work-around. In utils.c
we already have a function filtered_printing_initialized, this is
checked in a few places within internal_vproblem. In some of these
cases the call gates whether or not GDB will query the user.
My proposal is to add a new readline_initialized function, which
checks if the current_ui has had readline initialized yet. If this is
not the case then we should not attempt to query the user.
After this change GDB prints the error message, the backtrace, and
then aborts (including dumping core). This actually seems pretty sane
as, if GDB has not yet made it through the initialization then it
doesn't make much sense to allow the user to say "no, I don't want to
quit the debug session" (I think).

gdb: don't copy entirely optimized out values in value_copy
Bug 28980 shows that trying to value_copy an entirely optimized out
value causes an internal error. The original bug report involves MI and
some Python pretty printer, and is quite difficult to reproduce, but
another easy way to reproduce (that is believed to be equivalent) was
proposed:
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "py print(gdb.Value(gdb.Value(5).type.optimized_out()))"
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/value.c:1731: internal-error: value_copy: Assertion `arg->contents != nullptr' failed.
This is caused by
5f8ab46bc691 ("gdb: constify parameter of
value_copy"). It added an assertion that the contents buffer is
allocated if the value is not lazy:
if (!value_lazy (val))
{
gdb_assert (arg->contents != nullptr);
This was based on the comment on value::contents, which suggest that
this is the case:
/* Actual contents of the value. Target byte-order. NULL or not
valid if lazy is nonzero. */
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<gdb_byte> contents;
However, it turns out that it can also be nullptr also if the value is
entirely optimized out, for example on exit of
allocate_optimized_out_value. That function creates a lazy value, marks
the entire value as optimized out, and then clears the lazy flag. But
contents remains nullptr.
This wasn't a problem for value_copy before, because it was calling
value_contents_all_raw on the input value, which caused contents to be
allocated before doing the copy. This means that the input value to
value_copy did not have its contents allocated on entry, but had it
allocated on exit. The result value had it allocated on exit. And that
we copied bytes for an entirely optimized out value (i.e. meaningless
bytes).
From here I see two choices:
1. respect the documented invariant that contents is nullptr only and
only if the value is lazy, which means making
allocate_optimized_out_value allocate contents
2. extend the cases where contents can be nullptr to also include
values that are entirely optimized out (note that you could still
have some entirely optimized out values that do have contents
allocated, it depends on how they were created) and adjust
value_copy accordingly
Choice #1 is safe, but less efficient: it's not very useful to allocate
a buffer for an entirely optimized out value. It's even a bit less
efficient than what we had initially, because values coming out of
allocate_optimized_out_value would now always get their contents
allocated.
Choice #2 would be more efficient than what we had before: giving an
optimized out value without allocated contents to value_copy would
result in an optimized out value without allocated contents (and the
input value would still be without allocated contents on exit). But
it's more risky, since it's difficult to ensure that all users of the
contents (through the various_contents* accessors) are all fine with
that new invariant.
In this patch, I opt for choice #2, since I think it is a better
direction than choice #1. #1 would be a pessimization, and if we go
this way, I doubt that it will ever be revisited, it will just stay that
way forever.
Add a selftest to test this. I initially started to write it as a
Python test (since the reproducer is in Python), but a selftest is more
straightforward.

Fix for v850e divq instruction
This is the last of the correctness fixes I've been carrying around for the

Like the other recent fixes, this is another case where we haven't been as
careful as we should WRT host vs target types. For the divq instruction
both operands are 32 bit types. Yet in the simulator code we convert them
from unsigned int to signed long by assignment. So 0xfffffffb (aka -5)
turns into
4294967291 and naturally that changes the result of our division.
The fix is simple, insert a cast to int32_t to force interpretation as a
signed value.

Fix "bins" simulation for v850e3v5
I've been carrying this for a few years. One test in the GCC testsuite is

When the "bins" instruction specifies a 32bit bitfield size, the simulator
exhibits undefined behavior by trying to shift a 32 bit quantity by 32 bits.
In the case of a 32 bit shift, we know what the resultant mask should be. So
we can just set it.
That seemed better than using 1UL for the constant (on a 32bit host unsigned
long might still just be 32 bits) or needlessly forcing everything to
long long types.
Thankfully the case where this shows up is only bins <src>, 0, 32, <dest>

The goal of the PACBTI extensions is similar in scope to that of a-profile

One important difference is that the pointer authentication code is stored

- Extend the prologue analyser for 32-bit ARM to handle some instructions

return address signing/authentication instructions.
- Adds code to identify object file attributes that indicate the presence of

- Extends the dwarf unwinder to track the value of RA_AUTH_CODE.
- Decorates backtraces with the "[PAC]" identifier when a frame has signed

exit event and present it to the user. Here, we see that GDB shows the
parent hitting a breakpoint before showing the child exit.
Because of the vfork, we know that chronologically, the child exiting
must have happend before the parent hitting a breakpoint. However,
scheduling being what it is, it is possible for the parent to un-freeze
and exit quickly, such that when GDB pulls events out of the kernel,
exit events for both processes are available. And then, GDB may chose
at random to return the one for the parent first. This is what I
imagine what causes the failure shown above.
We could change the test to expect both possible outcomes, but I wanted
to avoid complicating the .exp file that way. Instead, add a variable
that the parent loops on that we set only after we confirmed the exit of
the child. That should ensure that the order is always the same.
Note that I wasn't able to reproduce the failure, so I can't tell if
this fix really fixes the problem.

gdb/testsuite: fix intermittent failures in gdb.mi/mi-cmd-user-context.exp
I got failures like this once on a CI:

FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-cmd-user-context.exp: frame 1 (unexpected output)
The problem is that the test expects the following regexp:
".*#0 0x.*"
And that typically works, when the output of the frame command looks
like:
#0 0x00005555555551bb in child_sub_function () at ...
Note the lack of hexadecimal address in the failing case. Whether or
not the hexadecimal address is printed (roughly) depends on whether the
current PC is at the beginning of a line. So depending on where thread
2 was when GDB stopped it (after thread 1 hit its breakpoint), we can
get either output. Adjust the regexps to not expect an hexadecimal
prefix (0x) but a function name instead (either child_sub_function or
child_function). That one is always printed, and is also a good check
that we are in the frame we expect.
Note that for test "frame 5", we are showing a pthread frame (on my
system), so the function name is internal to pthread, not something we
can rely on. In that case, it's almost certain that we are not at the
beginning of a line, or that we don't have debug info, so I think it's
fine to expect the hex prefix.
And for test "frame 6", it's ok to _not_ expect a hex prefix (what the
test currently does), since we are showing thread 1, which has hit a
breakpoint placed at the beginning of a line.
When testing this, Tom de Vries pointed out that the current test code
doesn't ensure that the child threads are in child_sub_function when
they are stopped. If the scheduler chooses so, it is possible for the
child threads to be still in the pthread_barrier_wait or child_function
functions when they get stopped. So that would be another racy failure
waiting to happen.
The only way I can think of to ensure the child threads are in the
child_sub_function function when they get stopped is to synchronize the
threads using some variables instead of pthread_barrier_wait. So,
replace the barrier with an array of flags (one per child thread). Each
child thread flips its flag in child_sub_function to allow the main
thread to make progress and eventually hit the breakpoint.
I copied user-selected-context-sync.c to a new mi-cmd-user-context.c and
made modifications to that, to avoid interfering with
user-selected-context-sync.exp.

In the first snippet, we resume the stepping thread with the range-stepping (r)
vCont command. But after handling the fork (detaching the fork child), we
resumed the whole process freely. The stepping thread, which was paused by
GDBserver while reporting the fork event, was therefore resumed freely, instead
of confined to the addresses of the stepped line. Note that since this
is a "next", it could be that we have entered a function, installed a
step-resume breakpoint, and it's ok to continue freely the stepping
thread, but that's not the case here. The two snippets shown above were
next to each other in the logs.
For the fork case, we can resume stepping right after handling the
event.
However, for the vfork case, where we are waiting for the
external child process to exec or exit, we only resume the thread that
called vfork, and keep the others stopped (see patch "gdb: fix handling of
vfork by multi-threaded program" prior in this series). So we can't
resume the stepping thread right now. Instead, do it after handling the
vfork-done event.

gdbserver: report correct status in thread stop race condition
The test introduced by the following patch would sometimes fail in this
configuration:
FAIL: gdb.threads/next-fork-other-thread.exp: fork_func=vfork: target-non-stop=on: non-stop=off: displaced-stepping=auto: i=14: next to for loop
The test has multiple threads constantly forking or vforking while the
main thread keep doing "next"s.
(After writing the commit message, I realized this also fixes a similar
failure in gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp with the
native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver boards.)
As stop_all_threads is called, because the main thread finished its
"next", it inevitably happens at some point that we ask the remote
target to stop a thread and wait() reports that this thread stopped with
a fork or vfork event, instead of the SIGSTOP we sent to try to stop it.
While running this test, I attached to GDBserver and stopped at
linux-low.cc:3626. We can see that the status pulled from the kernel
for
2742805 is indeed a vfork event:
(gdb) p/x w
$3 = 0x2057f
(gdb) p WIFSTOPPED(w)
$4 = true
(gdb) p WSTOPSIG(w)
$5 = 5
(gdb) p/x (w >> 8) & (PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK << 8)
$6 = 0x200
However, the statement at line 3626 overrides that:
ourstatus->set_stopped (gdb_signal_from_host (WSTOPSIG (w)));
OURSTATUS becomes "stopped by a SIGTRAP". The information about the
fork or vfork is lost.
It's then all downhill from there, stop_all_threads eventually asks for
a thread list update. That thread list includes the child of that
forgotten fork or vfork, the remote target goes "oh cool, a new process,
let's attach to it!", when in fact that vfork child's destiny was to be
detached.
My reverse-engineered understanding of the code around there is that the
if/else between lines 3562 and 3583 (in the original code) makes sure
OURSTATUS is always initialized (not "ignore"). Either the details are
already in event_child->waitstatus (in the case of fork/vfork, for
example), in which case we just copy event_child->waitstatus to
ourstatus. Or, if the event is a plain "stopped by a signal" or a
syscall event, OURSTATUS is set to "stopped", but without a signal
number. Lines 3601 to 3629 (in the original code) serve to fill in that
last bit of information.
The problem is that when `w` holds the vfork status, the code wrongfully
takes this branch, because WSTOPSIG(w) returns SIGTRAP:
else if (current_thread->last_resume_kind == resume_stop
&& WSTOPSIG (w) != SIGSTOP)
The intent of this branch is, for example, when we sent SIGSTOP to try
to stop a thread, but wait() reports that it stopped with another signal
(that it must have received from somewhere else simultaneously), say
SIGWINCH. In that case, we want to report the SIGWINCH. But in our
fork/vfork case, we don't want to take this branch, as the thread didn't
really stop because it received a signal. For the non "stopped by a
signal" and non "syscall signal" cases, we would ideally skip over all
that snippet that fills in the signal or syscall number.
The fix I propose is to move this snipppet of the else branch of the
if/else above. In addition to moving the code, the last two "else if"
branches:
else if (current_thread->last_resume_kind == resume_stop
&& WSTOPSIG (w) != SIGSTOP)
{
/* A thread that has been requested to stop by GDB with vCont;t,
but, it stopped for other reasons. */
ourstatus->set_stopped (gdb_signal_from_host (WSTOPSIG (w)));
}
else if (ourstatus->kind () == TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED)
ourstatus->set_stopped (gdb_signal_from_host (WSTOPSIG (w)));
are changed into a single else:
else
ourstatus->set_stopped (gdb_signal_from_host (WSTOPSIG (w)));
This is the default path we take if:
- W is not a syscall status
- W does not represent a SIGSTOP that have sent to stop the thread and
therefore want to suppress it

gdb: fix handling of vfork by multi-threaded program (follow-fork-mode=parent, detach-on-fork=on)
There is a problem with how GDB handles a vfork happening in a
multi-threaded program. This problem was reported to me by somebody not
using vfork directly, but using system(3) in a multi-threaded program,
which may be implemented using vfork.
This patch only deals about the follow-fork-mode=parent,
detach-on-fork=on case, because it would be too much to chew at once to
fix the bugs in the other cases as well (I tried).
The problem
-----------
When a program vforks, the parent thread is suspended by the kernel
until the child process exits or execs. Specifically, in a
multi-threaded program, only the thread that called vfork is suspended,
other threads keep running freely. This is documented in the vfork(2)
man page ("Caveats" section).
Let's suppose GDB is handling a vfork and the user's desire is to detach
from the child. Before detaching the child, GDB must remove the software
breakpoints inserted in the shared parent/child address space, in case
there's a breakpoint in the path the child is going to take before
exec'ing or exit'ing (unlikely, but possible). Otherwise the child could
hit a breakpoint instruction while running outside the control of GDB,
which would make it crash. GDB must also avoid re-inserting breakpoints
in the parent as long as it didn't receive the "vfork done" event (that
is, when the child has exited or execed): since the address space is
shared with the child, that would re-insert breakpoints in the child
process also. So what GDB does is:
1. Receive "vfork" event for the parent
2. Remove breakpoints from the (shared) address space and set
program_space::breakpoints_not_allowed to avoid re-inserting them
3. Detach from the child thread
4. Resume the parent
5. Wait for and receive "vfork done" event for the parent
6. Clean program_space::breakpoints_not_allowed and re-insert
breakpoints
7. Resume the parent
Resuming the parent at step 4 is necessary in order for the kernel to
report the "vfork done" event. The kernel won't report a ptrace event
for a thread that is ptrace-stopped. But the theory behind this is that
between steps 4 and 5, the parent won't actually do any progress even
though it is ptrace-resumed, because the kernel keeps it suspended,
waiting for the child to exec or exit. So it doesn't matter for that
thread if breakpoints are not inserted.
The problem is when the program is multi-threaded. In step 4, GDB
resumes all threads of the parent. The thread that did the vfork stays
suspended by the kernel, so that's fine. But other threads are running
freely while breakpoints are removed, which is a problem because they
could miss a breakpoint that they should have hit.
The problem is present with all-stop and non-stop targets. The only
difference is that with an all-stop targets, the other threads are
stopped by the target when it reports the vfork event and are resumed by
the target when GDB resumes the parent. With a non-stop target, the
other threads are simply never stopped.
The fix
-------
There many combinations of settings to consider (all-stop/non-stop,
target-non-stop on/off, follow-fork-mode parent/child, detach-on-fork
on/off, schedule-multiple on/off), but for this patch I restrict the
scope to follow-fork-mode=parent, detach-on-fork=on. That's the
"default" case, where we detach the child and keep debugging the
parent. I tried to fix them all, but it's just too much to do at once.
The code paths and behaviors for when we don't detach the child are
completely different.
The guiding principle for this patch is that all threads of the vforking
inferior should be stopped as long as breakpoints are removed. This is
similar to handling in-line step-overs, in a way.
For non-stop targets (the default on Linux native), this is what
happens:
- In follow_fork, we call stop_all_threads to stop all threads of the
inferior
- In follow_fork_inferior, we record the vfork parent thread in
inferior::thread_waiting_for_vfork_done
- Back in handle_inferior_event, we call keep_going, which resumes only
the event thread (this is already the case, with a non-stop target).
This is the thread that will be waiting for vfork-done.
- When we get the vfork-done event, we go in the (new) handle_vfork_done
function to restart the previously stopped threads.
In the same scenario, but with an all-stop target:
- In follow_fork, no need to stop all threads of the inferior, the
target has stopped all threads of all its inferiors before returning
the event.
- In follow_fork_inferior, we record the vfork parent thread in
inferior::thread_waiting_for_vfork_done.
- Back in handle_inferior_event, we also call keep_going. However, we
only want to resume the event thread here, not all inferior threads.
In internal_resume_ptid (called by resume_1), we therefore now check
whether one of the inferiors we are about to resume has
thread_waiting_for_vfork_done set. If so, we only resume that
thread.
Note that when resuming multiple inferiors, one vforking and one not
non-vforking, we could resume the vforking thread from the vforking
inferior plus all threads from the non-vforking inferior. However,
this is not implemented, it would require more work.
- When we get the vfork-done event, the existing call to keep_going
naturally resumes all threads.
Testing-wise, add a test that tries to make the main thread hit a
breakpoint while a secondary thread calls vfork. Without the fix, the
main thread keeps going while breakpoints are removed, resulting in a
missed breakpoint and the program exiting.

gdb: replace inferior::waiting_for_vfork_done with inferior::thread_waiting_for_vfork_done
The inferior::waiting_for_vfork_done flag indicates that some thread in
that inferior is waiting for a vfork-done event. Subsequent patches
will need to know which thread precisely is waiting for that event.
Replace the boolean flag (waiting_for_vfork_done) with a thread_info
pointer (thread_waiting_for_vfork_done).
I think there is a latent buglet in that waiting_for_vfork_done is
currently not reset on inferior exec or exit. I could imagine that if a
thread in the parent process calls exec or exit while another thread of
the parent process is waiting for its vfork child to exec or exit, we
could end up with inferior::waiting_for_vfork_done without a thread
actually waiting for a vfork-done event anymore. And since that flag is
checked in resume_1, things could misbehave there.
Since the new field points to a thread_info object, and those are
destroyed on exec or exit, it could be worse now since we could try to
access freed memory, if thread_waiting_for_vfork_done were to point to a
stale thread_info. To avoid this, clear the field in

gdb: Add support for DW_LNS_set_prologue_end in line-table
Add support for DW_LNS_set_prologue_end when building line-tables. This
attribute can be set by the compiler to indicate that an instruction is
an adequate place to set a breakpoint just after the prologue of a
function.
The compiler might set multiple prologue_end, but considering how
current skip_prologue_using_sal works, this commit modifies it to accept
the first instruction with this marker (if any) to be the place where a
breakpoint should be placed to be at the end of the prologue.
The need for this support came from a problematic usecase generated by
hipcc (i.e. clang). The problem is as follows: There's a function
(lets call it foo) which covers PC from 0xa800 to 0xa950. The body of
foo begins with a call to an inlined function, covering from 0xa800 to
0xa94c. The issue is that when placing a breakpoint at 'foo', GDB
inserts the breakpoint at 0xa818. The 0x18 offset is what GDB thinks is
foo's first address past the prologue.
Later, when hitting the breakpoint, GDB reports the stop within the
inlined function because the PC falls in its range while the user
expects to stop in FOO.
Looking at the line-table for this location, we have:
INDEX LINE ADDRESS IS-STMT
[...]
14 293 0x000000000000a66c Y
15 END 0x000000000000a6e0 Y
16 287 0x000000000000a800 Y
17 END 0x000000000000a818 Y
18 287 0x000000000000a824 Y
[...]
For comparison, let's look at llvm-dwarfdump's output for this CU:
Address Line Column File ISA Discriminator Flags
------------------ ------ ------ ------ --- ------------- -------------
[...]
0x000000000000a66c 293 12 2 0 0 is_stmt

0x000000000000a828 100 58 82 0 0 is_stmt
[...]
The main difference we are interested in here is that llvm-dwarfdump's
output tells us that 0xa800 is an adequate place to place a breakpoint
past a function prologue. Since we know that foo covers from 0xa800 to
0xa94c, 0xa800 is the address at which the breakpoint should be placed
if the user wants to break in foo.
This commit proposes to add support for the prologue_end flag in the
line-program processing.
The processing of this prologue_end flag is made in skip_prologue_sal,
before it calls gdbarch_skip_prologue_noexcept. The intent is that if
the compiler gave information on where the prologue ends, we should use
this information and not try to rely on architecture dependent logic to
guess it.
The testsuite have been executed using this patch on GNU/Linux x86_64.
Testcases have been compiled with both gcc/g++ (verison 9.4.0) and
clang/clang++ (version 10.0.0) since at the time of writing GCC does not
set the prologue_end marker. Tests done with GCC 11.2.0 (not over the
entire testsuite) show that it does not emit this flag either.
No regression have been observed with GCC or Clang. Note that when
using Clang, this patch fixes a failure in
gdb.opt/inline-small-func.exp.

In the new approach, the parser state just holds an object that is

objdump/opcodes: add syntax highlighting to disassembler output
This commit adds the _option_ of having disassembler output syntax
highlighted in objdump. This option is _off_ by default. The new
command line options are:
--disassembler-color=off # The default.
--disassembler-color=color
--disassembler-color=extended-color
I have implemented two colour modes, using the same option names as we
use of --visualize-jumps, a basic 8-color mode ("color"), and an
extended 8bit color mode ("extended-color").
The syntax highlighting requires that each targets disassembler be
updated; each time the disassembler produces some output we now pass
through an additional parameter indicating what style should be
applied to the text.
As updating all target disassemblers is a large task, the old API is
maintained. And so, a user of the disassembler (i.e. objdump, gdb)
must provide two functions, the current non-styled print function, and
a new, styled print function.
I don't currently have a plan for converting every single target
disassembler, my hope is that interested folk will update the
disassemblers they are interested in. But it is possible some might
never get updated.
In this initial series I intend to convert the RISC-V disassembler
completely, and also do a partial conversion of the x86 disassembler.
Hopefully having the x86 disassembler at least partial converted will
allow more people to try this out easily and provide feedback.
In this commit I have focused on objdump. The changes to GDB at this
point are the bare minimum required to get things compiling, GDB makes
no use of the styling information to provide any colors, that will
come later, if this commit is accepted.
This first commit in the series doesn't convert any target
disassemblers at all (the next two commits will update some targets),
so after this commit, the only color you will see in the disassembler
output, is that produced from objdump itself, e.g. from
objdump_print_addr_with_sym, where we print an address and a symbol
name, these are now printed with styling information, and so will have
colors applied (if the option is on).
Finally, my ability to pick "good" colors is ... well, terrible. I'm
in no way committed to the colors I've picked here, so I encourage
people to suggest new colors, or wait for this commit to land, and
then patch the choice of colors.
I do have an idea about using possibly an environment variable to
allow the objdump colors to be customised, but I haven't done anything
like that in this commit, the color choices are just fixed in the code
for now.
