2024-01-12Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDBAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
This commit is the result of the following actions: - Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to include 2024, - Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the file, - Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright date, - Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've updated them this year to 2024. I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as you spot them.
2023-01-01Update copyright year range in header of all files managed by GDBJoel Brobecker1-1/+1
This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script, which automated the update of the copyright year range for all source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include year 2023.
2022-11-28gdb/testsuite: remove use of then keyword from gdb.base/*.expAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
The canonical form of 'if' in modern TCL is 'if {} {}'. But there's still a bunch of places in the testsuite where we make use of the 'then' keyword, and sometimes these get copies into new tests, which just spreads poor practice. This commit removes all use of the 'then' keyword from the gdb.base/ test script directory. There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.
2022-01-01Automatic Copyright Year update after running gdb/copyright.pyJoel Brobecker1-1/+1
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure. For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were performed by the script.
2021-09-30gdb/testsuite: make runto_main not pass no-message to runtoSimon Marchi1-1/+0
As follow-up to this discussion: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-August/171385.html ... make runto_main not pass no-message to runto. This means that if we fail to run to main, for some reason, we'll emit a FAIL. This is the behavior we want the majority of (if not all) the time. Without this, we rely on tests logging a failure if runto_main fails, otherwise. They do so in a very inconsisteny mannet, sometimes using "fail", "unsupported" or "untested". The messages also vary widly. This patch removes all these messages as well. Also, remove a few "fail" where we call runto (and not runto_main). by default (without an explicit no-message argument), runto prints a failure already. In two places, gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp and gdb.python/py-pp-registration.exp, remove "message" passed to runto. This removes a few PASSes that we don't care about (but FAILs will still be printed if we fail to run to where we want to). This aligns their behavior with the rest of the testsuite.

2020-07-22Adjust coredump-filter.exp to account for NT_FILE note handlingKevin Buettner1-1/+17
This commit makes adjustments to coredump-filter.exp to account for the fact that NT_FILE file-backed mappings are now available when a core file is loaded. Thus, a test which was expected to PASS when a memory region was determined to be unavailable (due to no file-backed mappings being available) will now FAIL due to those mappings being available from having loaded the NT_FILE note. I had originally marked the test as XFAIL, but Mihails Strasuns suggested a much better approach: 1) First test that it still works if file is accessible in the filesystem. 2) Temporarily move / rename the file and test that disassembly doesn't work anymore. That's what this commit implements. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Add second non-Private-Shared-Anon-File test. (test_disasm): Rename binfile for test which is expected to fail.

2019-01-01Update copyright year range in all GDB files.Joel Brobecker1-1/+1
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py script. Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid copyright header (gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc). As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header was sent to gcc-patches first. gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.

2016-12-23Fix more cases of improper test namesLuis Machado1-1/+0
I noticed more occurrences of improper test names. The rather mechanical, tedious and large patch below addresses, hopefully, most of the leftover cases. As usual, another pair of eyes is welcome to check if missed something or did an invalid substitution. This patch also fixes the prepare_for_testing calls to pass proper test names. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-12-23 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> Fix test names for the following files: *

compilation messages Changes in v3: - Adjusted some testcases where the message "failed to compile" was not unique. Changes in v2: - Addressed comments from reviewers. - Fixed spurious whitespaces. - Changed compilation failure messages that included source/binary paths to ones that are short and deterministic. --- Another bit of cleanup to the testsuite. We have a number of tests that are not honoring the rule of not outputting their own name as a test name.

2015-05-08Fix coredump-filter.exp by correctly unsetting arraySergio Durigan Junior1-1/+1
In my last commit to make gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp be more robust regarding using arrays in the global namespace, I cleared the "coredump_var_addr" array like this: set coredump_var_addr "" # use coredump_var_addr as an array... This causes DejaGNU to complain because the variable is first set as non-array, and the used as an array. The correct way to do this is to unset the variable using: unset -nocomplain coredump_var_addr # use coredump_var_addr as an array... The "-nocomplain" part is necessary because if the variable doesn't exist "unset" will not error. Tested on Fedora 20 x86_64. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-05-08 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Correctly unset "coredump_var_addr" array.
2015-05-08Fix PR 18208: update /proc/pid/coredump_filter by c codeYao Qi1-9/+6
Hi, We see some fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp when we do remote gdbserver testing, like what I did for arm/aarch64 linux testing or run it with board file remote-gdbserver-on-localhost $ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost coredump-filter.exp' we find that this line in the test doesn't work as expected, remote_exec target "sh -c \"echo $filter_flag > /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter\"" although such pattern has been used in gdb testsuite somewhere else, but the special thing here is that we redirect the output to /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter on the remote target. DejaGNU will redirect the output from the remote target to local, and looks tcl gets confused by these two redirection. After trying pass different parameters to remote_exec and hacking remote_exec/rsh_exec/local_exec, I got no success, I decide to give up, and try to update /proc/$ipid/coredump_filter by the c code directly. This patch adds a c function set_coredump_filter to update coredump_filter, and GDB calls it. gdb/testsuite: 2015-05-08 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> PR gdb/18208 * gdb.base/coredump-filter.c (set_coredump_filter): New function. * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp (do_save_core): Call inferior function set_coredump_filter, and remove remote_exec call. Remove argument ipid. Callers update. (top level): Don't get inferior's PID.

gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp This commit is a continuation of the fix committed on: commit 8cd8f2f8ac49276437b7da37f275706ea1c1c925 Author: Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> Date: Mon Apr 13 02:40:08 2015 -0400 Rename variable "addr" to "coredump_var_addr" in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp Pedro pointed out that this fix was not complete, because the testsuite could be run several times in a row (for example), which means that it is not enough to just make the variable name unique: it also needs to be cleared out if it is global. This commit does that. It is actually just a commit made to make things totally correct; this specific test does not fail if you run it several times in a row. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-04-26 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Clear variable "coredump_var_addr" before using it.
2015-04-13Harden gdb.base/coredump-filter.expLuis Machado1-0/+12
This testcase seems to assume the target is running Linux, so bare metal, simulators and other debugging stubs running different OS' will have a hard time executing some of the commands the testcase issues. Even restricting the testcase to Linux systems (which the patch below does), there are still problems with, say, QEMU not providing PID information when "info inferior" is issued. As a consequence, the subsequent tests will either fail or will not make much sense. The attached patch checks if PID information is available. If not, it just bails out and avoids running into a number of failures. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-04-13 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Restrict test to Linux systems only. Handle the case of targets that do not provide PID information.
2015-04-13Rename variable "addr" to "coredump_var_addr" in gdb.base/coredump-filter.expSergio Durigan Junior1-4/+4
This commit renames the global array variable "addr" to an unique name "coredump_var_addr" in the test gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. This is needed because global arrays can have name conflicts between tests. For example, this specific test was conflicting with dmsym.exp, causing errors like: ERROR: tcl error sourcing ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dmsym.exp. ERROR: can't set "addr": variable is array while executing "set addr "0x\[0-9a-zA-Z\]+"" (file "../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dmsym.exp" line 45) invoked from within "source ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dmsym.exp" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 source ../../../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dmsym.exp" invoked from within "catch "uplevel #0 source $test_file_name"" This problem was reported by Yao Qi at: <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00373.html> Message-Id: <1428666671-12926-1-git-send-email-qiyaoltc@gmail.com> gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-04-13 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Rename variable "addr" to "coredump_var_addr" to avoid naming conflict with other testcases.
2015-03-31Implement support for checking /proc/PID/coredump_filterSergio Durigan Junior1-0/+198
This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently, here is what is supported: bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings. bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings. bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings. bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings. bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24) Dump ELF headers. bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28) Dump private huge pages. bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28) Dump shared huge pages. (This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source tree). The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33, which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW. Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you, is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from /proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready I will post it here). With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed, private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump "[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel). In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is: - If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with " (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x" (shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous. There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or "AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both* anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed mappings to be present in the corefile. It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above, the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with " (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root, and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/ directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do better: expose this information in a more direct way. - If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps), then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough, however. Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory mappings to dump. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-03-31 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> PR corefiles/16092 * linux-tdep.c: Include 'gdbcmd.h' and 'gdb_regex.h'.
