2023-03-27Simplify binop_promoteTom Tromey1-36/+19
binop_promote currently only handles integer sizes up to builtin_long_long. However, this may not handle 128-bit types. Simplify this code, unify the C and non-C (but not OpenCL, as I don't know how to test this) cases, and handle 128-bit integers as well. This still doesn't exactly follow C or C++ rules. This could be implemented, but if so, I think it makes more sense as a C-specific expression node.

2022-04-04Add context-sensitive field name completion to Ada parserTom Tromey1-8/+10
This updates the Ada expression parser to implement context-sensitive field name completion. This is PR ada/28727. This is somewhat complicated due to some choices in the Ada lexer -- it chooses to represent a sequence of "."-separated identifiers as a single token, so the parser must partially recreate the completer's logic to find the completion word boundaries. Despite the minor warts in this patch, though, it is a decent improvement. It's possible that the DWARF reader rewrite will help fix the package completion problem pointed out in this patch as well. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28727
2022-04-04Refactor expression completionTom Tromey1-0/+85
This refactors the gdb expression completion code to make it easier to add more types of completers. In the old approach, just two kinds of completers were supported: field names for some sub-expression, or tag names (like "enum something"). The data for each kind was combined in single structure, "expr_completion_state", and handled explicitly by complete_expression. In the new approach, the parser state just holds an object that is responsible for implementing completion. This way, new completion types can be added by subclassing this base object. The structop completer is moved into structop_base_operation, and new objects are defined for use by the completion code. This moves much of the logic of expression completion out of completer.c as well.
2022-03-21gdb/x86: handle stap probe arguments in xmm registersAndrew Burgess1-0/+16
On x86 machines with xmm register, and with recent versions of systemtap (and gcc?), it can occur that stap probe arguments will be placed into xmm registers. I notice this happening on a current Fedora Rawhide install with the following package versions installed: $ rpm -q glibc systemtap gcc glibc-2.35.9000-10.fc37.x86_64 systemtap-4.7~pre16468670g9f253544-1.fc37.x86_64 gcc-12.0.1-0.12.fc37.x86_64 If I check the probe data in libc, I see this: $ readelf -n /lib64/libc.so.6 ... stapsdt 0x0000004d NT_STAPSDT (SystemTap probe descriptors) Provider: libc Name: pthread_start Location: 0x0000000000090ac3, Base: 0x00000000001c65c4, Semaphore: 0x0000000000000000 Arguments: 8@%xmm1 8@1600(%rbx) 8@1608(%rbx) stapsdt 0x00000050 NT_STAPSDT (SystemTap probe descriptors) Provider: libc Name: pthread_create Location: 0x00000000000912f1, Base: 0x00000000001c65c4, Semaphore: 0x0000000000000000 Arguments: 8@%xmm1 8@%r13 8@8(%rsp) 8@16(%rsp) ... Notice that for both of these probes, the first argument is a uint64_t stored in the xmm1 register. Unfortunately, if I try to use this probe within GDB, then I can't view the first argument. Here's an example session: $ gdb $(which gdb) (gdb) start ... (gdb) info probes stap libc pthread_create ... (gdb) break *0x00007ffff729e2f1 # Use address of probe. (gdb) continue ... (gdb) p $_probe_arg0 Invalid cast. What's going wrong? If I re-run my session, but this time use 'set debug stap-expression 1', this is what I see: (gdb) set debug stap-expression 1 (gdb) p $_probe_arg0 Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: OP_REGISTER String: xmm1 Type: uint64_t Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: OP_REGISTER String: r13 Type: uint64_t Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: UNOP_IND Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: BINOP_ADD Operation: OP_LONG Type: long Constant: 0x0000000000000008 Operation: OP_REGISTER String: rsp Type: uint64_t * Type: uint64_t Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: UNOP_IND Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: BINOP_ADD Operation: OP_LONG Type: long Constant: 0x0000000000000010 Operation: OP_REGISTER String: rsp Type: uint64_t * Type: uint64_t Invalid cast. (gdb) The important bit is this: Operation: UNOP_CAST Operation: OP_REGISTER String: xmm1 Type: uint64_t Which is where we cast the xmm1 register to uint64_t. And the final piece of the puzzle is: (gdb) ptype $xmm1 type = union vec128 { v8bf16 v8_bfloat16; v4f v4_float; v2d v2_double; v16i8 v16_int8; v8i16 v8_int16; v4i32 v4_int32; v2i64 v2_int64; uint128_t uint128; } So, we are attempting to cast a union type to a scalar type, which is not supporting in C/C++, and as a consequence GDB's expression evaluator throws an error when we attempt to do this. The first approach I considered for solving this problem was to try and make use of gdbarch_stap_adjust_register. We already have a gdbarch method (gdbarch_stap_adjust_register) that allows us to tweak the name of the register that we access. Currently only x86 architectures use this to transform things like ax to eax in some cases. I wondered, what if we change gdbarch_stap_adjust_register to do more than just change the register names? What if this method instead became gdbarch_stap_read_register. This new method would return a operation_up, and would take the register name, and the type we are trying to read from the register, and return the operation that actually reads the register. The default implementation of this method would just use user_reg_map_name_to_regnum, and then create a register_operation, like we already do in stap_parse_register_operand. But, for x86 architectures this method would fist possibly adjust the register name, then do the default action to read the register. Finally, for x86 this method would spot when we were accessing an xmm register, and, based on the type being pulled from the register, would extract the correct field from the union. The benefit of this approach is that it would work with the expression types that GDB currently supports. The draw back would be that this approach would not be very generic. We'd need code to handle each sub-field size with an xmm register. If other architectures started using vector registers for probe arguments, those architectures would have to create their own gdbarch_stap_read_register method. And finally, the type of the xmm registers comes from the type defined in the target description, there's a risk that GDB might end up hard-coding the names of type sub-fields, then if a target uses a different target description, with different field names for xmm registers, the stap probes would stop working. And so, based on all the above draw backs, I rejected this first approach. My second plan involves adding a new expression type to GDB called unop_extract_operation. This new expression takes a value and a type, during evaluation the value contents are fetched, and then a new value is extracted from the value contents (based on type). This is similar to the following C expression: result_value = *((output_type *) &input_value); Obviously we can't actually build this expression in this case, as the input_value is in a register, but hopefully the above makes it clearer what I'm trying to do. The benefit of the new expression approach is that this code can be shared across all architectures, and it doesn't care about sub-field names within the union type. The draw-backs that I see are potential future problems if arguments are not stored within the least significant bytes of the register. However if/when that becomes an issue we can adapt the gdbarch_stap_read_register approach to allow architectures to control how a value is extracted. For testing, I've extended the existing gdb.base/stap-probe.exp test to include a function that tries to force an argument into an xmm register. Obviously, that will only work on a x86 target, so I've guarded the new function with an appropriate GCC define. In the exp script we use readelf to check if the probe exists, and is using the xmm register. If the probe doesn't exist then the associated tests are skipped. If the probe exists, put isn't using the xmm register (which will depend on systemtap/gcc versions), then again, the tests are skipped. Otherwise, we can run the test. I think the cost of running readelf is pretty low, so I don't feel too bad making all the non-xmm targets running this step. I found that on a Fedora 35 install, with these packages installed, I was able to run this test and have the probe argument be placed in an xmm register: $ rpm -q systemtap gcc glibc systemtap-4.6-4.fc35.x86_64 gcc-11.2.1-9.fc35.x86_64 glibc-2.34-7.fc35.x86_64 Finally, as this patch adds a new operation type, then I need to consider how to generate an agent expression for the new operation type. I have kicked the can down the road a bit on this. In the function stap_parse_register_operand, I only create a unop_extract_operation in the case where the register type is non-scalar, this means that in most cases I don't need to worry about generating an agent expression at all. In the xmm register case, when an unop_extract_operation will be created, I have sketched out how the agent expression could be handled, however, this code is currently not reached. When we try to generate the agent expression to place the xmm register on the stack, GDB hits this error: (gdb) trace -probe-stap test:xmmreg Tracepoint 1 at 0x401166 (gdb) actions Enter actions for tracepoint 1, one per line. End with a line saying just "end". >collect $_probe_arg0 Value not scalar: cannot be an rvalue. This is because GDB doesn't currently support placing non-scalar types on the agent expression evaluation stack. Solving this is clearly related to the original problem, but feels a bit like a second problem. I'd like to get feedback on whether my approach to solving the original problem is acceptable or not before I start looking at how to handle xmm registers within agent expressions.
2022-03-16Remove eval_op_concatTom Tromey1-12/+0
eval_op_concat has code to search for an operator overload of BINOP_CONCAT. However, the operator overloading code is specific to C++, which does not have this operator. And, binop_types_user_defined_p rejects this case right at the start, and value_x_binop does not handle this case. I think this code has been dead for a very long time. This patch removes it and hoists the remaining call into concatenation::evaluate, removing eval_op_concat entirely.
