__SVE_VQ_BYTES is only available if SVE definitions are available in
the system's headers, and this is not true for all systems.
For this purpose, we define SVE_VQ_BYTES. This patch fixes the

SME2 defines a new 512-bit register named ZT0, and it is only available
if SME is also supported. The ZT0 state is valid only if the SVCR ZA bit
is enabled. Otherwise its contents are empty (0).
The target description is dynamic and gets generated at runtime based on the
availability of the feature.
Validated under Fast Models.

There is a new ZA_MAGIC context that the Linux Kernel uses to communicate

The SME (Scalable Matrix Extension) [1] exposes a new matrix register ZA with
variable sizes. It also exposes a new mode called streaming mode.
Similarly to SVE, the ZA register size is dictated by a vector length, but the
SME vector length is called streaming vetor length. The total size for
ZA in a given moment is svl x svl.
In streaming mode, the SVE registers have their sizes based on svl rather than
the regular vector length (vl).
The feature detection is controlled by the HWCAP2_SME bit, but actual support
should be validated by attempting a ptrace call for one of the new register
sets: NT_ARM_ZA and NT_ARM_SSVE.
Due to its large size, the ZA register is exposed as a vector of bytes, but we
introduce a number of pseudo-registers that gives various different views
into the ZA contents. These can be arranged in a couple categories: tiles and
tile slices.
Tiles are matrices the same size or smaller than ZA. Tile slices are vectors
which map to ZA's rows/columns in different ways.
A new dynamic target description is provided containing the ZA register, the SVG
register and the SVCR register. The size of ZA, like the SVE vector registers,
is based on the vector length register SVG (VG for SVE).
This patch enables SME register support for gdb.

This is a patch in preparation to upcoming patches enabling SME support. It
attempts to simplify the gdb/gdbserver shared interface used to read/write
SVE registers.
Where the current code makes use of unique_ptr, allocating a new buffer by
hand and passing a buffer around, this patch makes that code use
gdb::byte_vector and passes a reference to this byte vector to the functions,
allowing the functions to have ready access to the size of the buffer.
It also shares a bit more code between gdb and gdbserver, in particular around
handling of ptrace get/set requests for SVE.
I think gdbserver could be refactored to handle register reads/writes more
like gdb's native layer as opposed to letting the generic linux-low layer do
the ptrace calls. This is not very flexible and assumes one size for the
responses. If you have something like NT_ARM_SVE, where you can have either
FPSIMD or SVE contents, it doesn't work that well.
I didn't want to change that interface right now as it is a bit too much work
and touches all the targets, some of which I can't easily test.
Hence the reason why the buffer the generic linux-now passes down to
linux-aarch64-low is unused or ignored.
No user-visible changes should happen as part of this refactor other than a
slightly reworded warning message.
While doing the refactor, I also noticed what seems to be a mistake in checking
if the register cache contains active (non-zero) SVE data.
For instance, the original code did something like this in
aarch64_sve_regs_copy_from_reg_buf:
has_sve_state |= reg_buf->raw_compare (AARCH64_SVE_Z0_REGNUM + i
reg, sizeof (__int128_t));
"reg" is a zeroed-out buffer that we compare the Z register contents
past the first 128 bits. The problem here is that raw_compare returns
1 if the contents compare the same, which means has_sve_state will be
true. But if we compared the Z register contents to 0, it means we
*do not* have SVE state, and therefore has_sve_state should be false.
The consequence of this mistake is that we convert the initial
FPSIMD-formatted data we get from ptrace for the NT_ARM_SVE register
set to a SVE-formatted one.
In the end, this doesn't cause user-visible differences because the
values of both the Z and V registers will still be the same. But the
logic is not correct.
I used the opportunity to fix this, and it gets tested later on by
the additional SME tests.
I do plan on submitting some SVE-specific tests to make sure we have
a bit more coverage in GDB's testsuite.

Since commit b42405a1594 ("gdb: Update x86 Linux architectures to
support XSAVE layouts."), the test gdb.base/gcore.exp fails on my AMD
Ryzen 3700X machine:
FAIL: gdb.base/gcore.exp: corefile restored all registers
The test gets the register state (saves the output of "info
all-registers"), saves a core with the "gcore" command, loads the core,
and checks the register state against the one previously saved. The
problem is that when reading registers from the core file, the last half
of ymm registers is unavailable:
(gdb) print $ymm0.v32_int8
$1 = {0, -77, -23, -9, -1, 127, 0, 0, 0, -77, -23, -9, -1, 127, 0, 0, <unavailable> <repeats 16 times>}
One strange thing with this machine is that the bitset of state
components supported by XCR0 is 0x207, meaning "x87 | SSE | AVX | PKRU",
but XCR0 at runtime is 0x7, meaning "x87 | SSE | AVX". So, PKRU appears
to be supported by the processor, but disabled by the kernel. I didn't
find why yet.
From CPUID leaf EAX=0Dh, ECX=00h, GDB can get:
- from EBX: max size of the XSAVE area required by features currently
enabled in XCR0. On my machine, it's 0x340 (832).
- from ECX: max size of the XSAVE area required by all features
supported by XCR0. On my machine, it's 0x380 (896).
At runtime, GDB uses ECX (max size required by all supported features)
to fill the x86_xsave_layout::sizeof_xsave. So, when writing the core
file note for the XSAVE state, it writes a note of size 896, even though
it doesn't write the PKRU state. When loading back the core, GDB tries
to figure out the layout of the XSAVE area based on what features are
enabled in XCR0 and the size of the note (the size of the XSAVE area).
Since my combination of XCR0 and size of XSAVE area doesn't match any
combination known by GDB, GDB falls back to a gdbarch supporting only
x87 and SSE.
This patch changes GDB to populate the x86_xsave_layout::sizeof_xsave
field (and consequently the size of the XSAVE state note in core files)
using EBX, the size of the XSAVE area required by currently enabled
features in XCR0. This makes i387_guess_xsave_layout recognize my case
with this condition:
else if (HAS_AVX (xcr0) && xsave_size == 832)
{
/* Intel and AMD CPUs supporting AVX. */
layout.avx_offset = 576;
}
In other words, just as if my machine didn't support PKRU at all.
Another reason why I think this change makes sense is that XSAVE state
notes in kernel-generated cores on this machine have size 832. So this
change makes GDB-generated cores more similar to kernel-generated ones,
reducing the diversity of XSAVE state notes that GDB needs to be able to
figure out.
Note that if PKRU was enabled on my machine, then the effective XSAVE
area size would be 896 bytes. We would need to add a case in
i387_guess_xsave_layout for that combination, since there is no
currently. But I don't have a way to test that right now, since I don't
know why PKRU is disabled.
Relevant review note from John Baldwin:
One further note is that the Linux x86 arches use x86_xsave_length()
to infer ("guess") the size of the XSAVE register set that the Linux
kernel writes out in core dumps. On FreeBSD x86 arches, GDB is able
to query this size directly from the kernel via ptrace. My use of ECX
for this guess earlier was just not the best guess. In the case that
the kernel enables all of the available features, then ECX and EBX
have the same values, so this only matters for a system where the
kernel has enabled a subset of available XSAVE extensions.

The detection logic for TPIDR2 was implemented incorrectly. Originally
the detection was supposed to be through a ptrace error code, but in reality,
for backwards compatibility, the detection should be based on the size of
the returned iovec.
For instance, if a target supports both TPIDR and TPIDR2, ptrace will return a
iovec size of 16. If a target only supports TPIDR and not TPIDR2, it will
return a iovec size of 8, even if we asked for 16 bytes.
This patch fixes this issue in code that is shared between gdb and gdbserver,
therefore both gdb and gdbserver are fixed.

With the AArch64 Scalable Matrix Extension we have a new TPIDR2 register, and
it will be added to the existing NT_ARM_TLS register set. Kernel patches are
being reviewed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220818170111.351889-1-broonie@kernel.org/
From GDB's perspective, we handle it in a similar way to the existing TPIDR
register. But we need to consider cases of systems that only have TPIDR and
systems that have both TPIDR and TPIDR2.
With that in mind, the following patch adds the required code to support
TPIDR2 and turns the org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.tls feature into a
dynamically-generated target description as opposed to a static target
description containing only TPIDR.
That means we can remove the gdb/features/aarch64-tls.xml file and replace the
existing gdb/features/aarch64-tls.c auto-generated file with a new file that
dynamically generates the target description containing either TPIDR alone or
TPIDR and TPIDR2.
In the future, when *BSD's start to support this register, they can just
enable it as is being done for the AArch64 Linux target.
The core file read/write code has been updated to support TPIDR2 as well.
On GDBserver's side, there is a small change to the find_regno function to
expose a non-throwing version of it.
It always seemed strange to me how find_regno causes the whole operation to
abort if it doesn't find a particular register name. The patch moves code
from find_regno into find_regno_no_throw and makes find_regno call
find_regno_no_throw instead.
This allows us to do register name lookups to find a particular register
number without risking erroring out if nothing is found.
The patch also adjusts the feature detection code for aarch64-fbsd, since
the infrastructure is shared amongst all aarch64 targets. I haven't added
code to support TPIDR2 in aarch64-fbsd though, as I'm not sure when/if
that will happen.

I get this test failure on my CI;
FAIL: gdb.base/info-os.exp: get process list
The particularity of this setup is that builds are done in containers
who are allocated 4 CPUs on a machine that has 40. The code in
nat/linux-osdata.c fails to properly fetch the core number for each
task.
linux_xfer_osdata_processes uses `sysconf (_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)`, which
returns 4, so it allocates an array of 4 integers. However, the core
numbers read from /proc/pid/task/tid/stat, by function
linux_common_core_of_thread, returns a value anywhere between 0 and 39.
The core numbers above 3 are therefore ignored, many processes end up
with no core value, and the regexp in the test doesn't match (it
requires an integer as the core field).
The way this the CPUs are exposed to the container is that the container
sees 40 CPUs "present" and "possible", but only 4 arbitrary CPUs
actually online:
root@ci-node-jammy-amd64-04-08:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/present
0-39
root@ci-node-jammy-amd64-04-08:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
5,11,24,31
root@ci-node-jammy-amd64-04-08:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
0-39
The solution proposed in this patch is to find out the number of
possible CPUs using /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible. In practice, this
will probably always contain `0-N`, where N is the number of CPUs, minus
one. But the documentation [1] doesn't such guarantee, so I'll assume
that it can contain a more complex range list such as `2,4-31,32-63`,
like the other files in that directory can have. The solution is to
iterate over these numbers to find the highest possible CPU id, and
use that that value plus one as the size of the array to allocate.

Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

This is just another step toward possibly implementing multi-inferior
for Windows.
It's possible this could be cleaned up further... ideally I'd like to
move more of the data into the base class. However, because gdb
supports Cygwin and gdbserver does not, and because I don't have a way
to build or test Cygwin, larger refactorings are difficult.

On Windows, it is possible to disable ASLR when creating a process.
This patch adds code to do this, and hooks it up to gdb's existing
disable-randomization feature. Because the Windows documentation
cautions that this isn't available on all versions of Windows, the
CreateProcess wrapper function is updated to make the attempt, and
then fall back to the current approach if it fails.
|
|
This is a small refactoring that introduces a wrapper for the Windows
CreateProcess function. This is done to make the next patch a bit
simpler.

Fix Cygwin build after 0578e87f ("Remove some globals from
nat/windows-nat.c"). Update code under ifdef __CYGWIN__ for globals
moved to members of struct windows_process_info.

|
Fix Cygwin build after fcab5839 ("Implement pid_to_exec_file for Windows
in gdbserver"). That change moves code from gdb/windows-nat.c to
gdb/nat/windows-nat.c, but doesn't add the required typedefs and
includes for parts of that code under ifdef __CYGWIN__.
|
|
I noticed that gdbserver did not implement pid_to_exec_file for
Windows, while gdb did implement it. This patch moves the code to
nat/windows-nat.c, so that it can be shared. This makes the gdbserver
implementation trivial.
|
|
I noticed that windows_process_info::id is only used by gdbserver, and
not really necessary. This patch removes it.
|
|
This changes target_pid_to_exec_file and target_ops::pid_to_exec_file
to return a "const char *". I couldn't build many of these targets,
but did examine the code by hand -- also, as this only affects the
return type, it's normally pretty safe. This brings gdb and gdbserver
a bit closer, and allows for the removal of a const_cast as well.
|
|
I noticed a few spots in GDB that use "typedef enum". However, in C++
this isn't as useful, as the tag is automatically entered as a
typedef. This patch removes most uses of "typedef enum" -- the
exceptions being in some nat-* code I can't compile, and
glibc_thread_db.h, which I think is more or less a copy of some C code
from elsewhere.
Tested by rebuilding.

Internally at AdaCore, we noticed that the new Windows thread name
code could fail. First, it might return a zero-length string, but in
gdb conventions it should return nullptr instead. Second, an encoding
failure could wind up showing replacement characters to the user; this
is confusing and not useful; it's better to recognize such errors and
simply discard the name. This patch makes both of these changes.

Windows 10 introduced SetThreadDescription and GetThreadDescription, a
simpler way to set a thread's name. This changes gdb and gdbserver to
use this convention when it is available.
This is part of PR win32/29050.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29050

Currently, gdb's native Windows target implements the exception-based
approach for setting thread names, but gdbserver does not. This patch
moves handle_ms_vc_exception to the shared nat/windows-nat.c code, as
preparation for adding this support to gdbserver.
|
|
I noticed that nat/windows-nat.c checks __USEWIDE, but nothing sets it
there -- I forgot to copy over the definition when making this file.
This patch tries to fix the problem. I don't have a Cygwin setup, so
I don't know whether this is sufficient, but it's probably necessary.

Internally at AdaCore, we recently started testing a 64-bit gdb
debugging 32-bit processes. This failed with gdb head, but not with
gdb 11.
The tests fail like this:
Starting program: [...].exe
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for WOW64_IMAGE_SECTION.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for WOW64_IMAGE_SECTION.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for NOT_AN_IMAGE.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
After some debugging and bisecting, to my surprise the bug was
introduced by commit 183be222 ("gdb, gdbserver: make target_waitstatus
safe").
The problem occurs in handle_exception. Previously the code did:
- ourstatus->kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED;
[...]
case EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT:
[...]
- ourstatus->kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS;
[...]
/* FALLTHROUGH */
case STATUS_WX86_BREAKPOINT:
DEBUG_EXCEPTION_SIMPLE ("EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT");
- ourstatus->value.sig = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP;
[...]
- last_sig = ourstatus->value.sig;
However, in the new code, the fallthrough case does:
+ ourstatus->set_stopped (GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP);
... which changes the 'kind' in 'ourstatus' after falling through.
This patch rearranges the 'last_sig' setting to more closely match
what was done before (this is probably not strictly needed but also
seemed harmless), and removes the fall-through in the
'ignore_first_breakpoint' case when __x86_64__ is defined.

nat/windows-nat.c has a number of globals that it uses to communicate
with its clients (gdb and gdbserver). However, if we ever want the
Windows ports to be multi-inferior, globals won't work.
This patch takes a step toward that by moving most nat/windows-nat.c
globals into a new struct windows_process_info. Many functions are
converted to be methods on this object.
A couple of globals remain, as they are needed to truly be global due
to the way that the Windows debugging APIs work.
The clients still have a global for the current process. That is,
this patch is a step toward the end goal, but doesn't implement the
goal itself.

windows_thread_info declares and defines a destructor, but this
doesn't need to be explicit.
