'gdb --configuration' does not mention if GDB was built with curses.
Since b5075fb68d4 (Rename to allow_tui_tests, 2023-01-08) it does show
--enable-tui (or --disable-tui), but one might want to know if GDB was
built with curses independently of the availability of the TUI.
Since configure.ac uses AC_SEARCH_LIBS to check for the curses library,
we do not get an automatically defined HAVE_LIBCURSES symbol in
config.in. We do have symbols defined by AC_CHECK_HEADERS
(HAVE_CURSES_H, etc.) but it would be cumbersome to use those in
print_gdb_configuration because we would have to check for all 6 symbols
corresponding the 6 headers listed. This would also increase the
maintenance burden if support for other variations of curses are added.
Instead, define 'HAVE_LIBCURSES' ourselves by adding an
'action-if-found' argument to AC_SEARCH_LIBS, and use it in
print_gdb_configuration.
While at it, remove the condition on 'ac_cv_search_waddstr' and set
'curses_found' directly in 'action-if-found'.

Ensure that the "show configuration" command and the "--configuration"
command line switch shows if GDB was built with the AMDGPU support or
not.
This will be used in a later patch in this series.

This patch uses the toplevel configure parts for GMP/MPFR for
gdb. The only thing is that gdb now requires MPFR for building.
Before it was a recommended but not required library.
Also this allows building of GMP and MPFR with the toplevel
directory just like how it is done for GCC.
We now error out in the toplevel configure of the version
of GMP and MPFR that is wrong.
OK after GDB 13 branches? Build gdb 3 ways:
with GMP and MPFR in the toplevel (static library used at that point for both)
With only MPFR in the toplevel (GMP distro library used and MPFR built from source)
With neither GMP and MPFR in the toplevel (distro libraries used)
Changes from v1:
* Updated gdb/README and gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo.
* Regenerated using unmodified autoconf-2.69

This patch changes the GDB build system in order to use libtool to
link the several built executables. This makes it possible to refer
to libtool libraries (.la files) in CLIBS.
As an application of the above,
BFD now refers to ../libbfd/libbfd.la
OPCODES now refers to ../opcodes/libopcodes.la
LIBBACKTRACE_LIB now refers to ../libbacktrace/libbacktrace.la
LIBCTF now refers to ../libctf/libctf.la
NOTE1: The addition of libtool adds a few new configure-time options
to GDB. Among these, --enable-shared and --disable-shared, which were
previously ignored. Now GDB shall honor these options when linking,
picking up the right version of the referred libtool libraries
automagically.
NOTE2: I have not tested the insight build.
NOTE3: For regenerating configure I used an environment with Autoconf
2.69 and Automake 1.15.1. This should match the previously
used version as announced in the configure script.
NOTE4: Now the installed shared objects libbfd.so, libopcodes.so and
libctf.so are used by gdb if binutils is installed with
--enable-shared.
Testing performed:
- --enable-shared and --disable-shared (the default in binutils) work
as expected: the linked executables link with the archive or shared
libraries transparently.
- Makefile.in modified for EXEEXT = .exe. It installs the binaries
just fine. The installed gdb.exe runs fine.
- Native build regtested in x86_64. No regressions found.
- Cross build for aarch64-linux-gnu built to exercise
program_transform_name and friends. The installed
aarch64-linux-gnu-gdb runs fine.

PR29397 PR29563: Add new configure option --with-zstd which defaults to
auto. If pkgconfig/libzstd.pc is found, define HAVE_ZSTD and support
zstd compressed debug sections for most tools.
* bfd: for addr2line, objdump --dwarf, gdb, etc
* gas: support --compress-debug-sections=zstd
* ld: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input and --compress-debug-sections=zstd
* objcopy: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input for
--decompress-debug-sections and --compress-debug-sections=zstd
* gdb: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input. The bfd change references zstd
symbols, so gdb has to link against -lzstd in this patch.
If zstd is not supported, ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input triggers an error. We
can avoid HAVE_ZSTD if binutils-gdb imports zstd/ like zlib/, but this
is too heavyweight, so don't do it for now.
```

Move the 64-bit bfd logic out of bfd/configure.ac and into bfd64.m4
under config so it can be shared between all the other subdirs.
This replaces want64 with enable_64_bit_bfd which was already being
declared, but not used directly.

When readline development package is missing make fails with
"configure: error: system readline is not new enough" which
might be confusing. This patch checks for the readline.h explicitly
and makes make to warn about the missing package.

The rhES5 build failed due to an upstream import a while back. The
bug here is that, while the 'personality' function exists,
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE is only defined in <linux/personality.h>, not
<sys/personality.h>.
However, <linux/personality.h> does not declare the 'personality'
function, and <sys/personality.h> and <linux/personality.h> cannot
both be included.
This patch restores one of the removed configure checks and updates
the code to check it.
We had this as a local patch at AdaCore, because it seemed like there
was no interest upstream. However, now it turns out that this fixes
PR build/28555, so I'm sending it now.

GDB recently gained the ability to print a backtrace when a fatal
signal is encountered. This backtrace is produced using the backtrace
and backtrace_symbols_fd API available in glibc.
However, in order for this API to actually map addresses to symbol
names it is required that the application (GDB) be compiled with
-rdynamic, which GDB is not by default.
As a result, the backtrace produced often looks like this:
Fatal signal: Bus error
----- Backtrace -----
./gdb/gdb[0x80ec00]
./gdb/gdb[0x80ed56]
/lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3c6b0)[0x7fc2ce1936b0]

./gdb/gdb[0x4174de]
---------------------
This is OK if you have access to the exact same build of GDB, you can
manually map the addresses back to symbols, however, it is next to
useless if all you have is a backtrace copied into a bug report.
GCC uses libbacktrace for printing a backtrace when it encounters an
error. In recent commits I added this library into the binutils-gdb
repository, and in this commit I allow this library to be used by
GDB. Now (when GDB is compiled with debug information) the backtrace
looks like this:
----- Backtrace -----

---------------------
Which seems much more useful.
Use of libbacktrace is optional. If GDB is configured with
--disable-libbacktrace then the libbacktrace directory will not be
built, and GDB will not try to use this library. In this case GDB
would try to use the old backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd API.
All of the functions related to writing the backtrace of GDB itself
have been moved into the new files gdb/by-utils.{c,h}.
|
|
This commit adds a new maintenance feature, the ability to print
a (limited) backtrace if GDB dies due to a fatal signal.
The backtrace is produced using the backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd
functions which are declared in the execinfo.h header, and both of
which are async signal safe. A configure check has been added to
check for these features, if they are not available then the new code
is not compiled into GDB and the backtrace will not be printed.
The motivation for this new feature is to aid in debugging GDB in
situations where GDB has crashed at a users site, but the user is
reluctant to share core files, possibly due to concerns about what
might be in the memory image within the core file. Such a user might
be happy to share a simple backtrace that was written to stderr.
The production of the backtrace is on by default, but can switched off
using the new commands:
maintenance set backtrace-on-fatal-signal on|off
maintenance show backtrace-on-fatal-signal
Right now, I have hooked this feature in to GDB's existing handling of
SIGSEGV only, but this will be extended to more signals in a later
commit.
One additional change I have made in this commit is that, when we
decide GDB should terminate due to the fatal signal, we now
raise the same fatal signal rather than raising SIGABRT.
Currently, this is only effecting our handling of SIGSEGV. So,
previously, if GDB hit a SEGV then we would terminate GDB with a
SIGABRT. After this commit we will terminate GDB with a SIGSEGV.
This feels like an improvement to me, we should still get a core dump,
but in many shells, the user will see a more specific message once GDB
exits, in bash for example "Segmentation fault" rather than "Aborted".
Finally then, here is an example of the output a user would see if GDB
should hit an internal SIGSEGV:
Fatal signal: Segmentation fault
----- Backtrace -----
./gdb/gdb[0x8078e6]
./gdb/gdb[0x807b20]
/lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x14b20)[0x7f6648c92b20]

---------------------
A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further
debugging is not possible. GDB will now terminate.
This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
It is disappointing that backtrace_symbols_fd does not actually map
the addresses back to symbols, this appears, in part, to be due to GDB
not being built with -rdynamic as the manual page for
backtrace_symbols_fd suggests, however, even when I do add -rdynamic
to the build of GDB I only see symbols for some addresses.
We could potentially look at alternative libraries to provide the
backtrace (e.g. libunwind) however, the solution presented here, which
is available as part of glibc is probably a good baseline from which
we might improve things in future.

Currently, in order to tell whether support for disabling address
space randomization on Linux is available, GDB checks if the
personality syscall works, at configure time. I.e., it does a run
test, instead of a compile/link test:
AC_RUN_IFELSE([PERSONALITY_TEST],
[have_personality=true],
[have_personality=false],
This is a bit bogus, because the machine the build is done on may not
(and is when you consider distro gdbs) be the machine that eventually
runs gdb. It would be better if this were a compile/link test
instead, and then at runtime, GDB coped with the personality syscall
failing. Actually, GDB already copes.
One environment where this is problematic is building GDB in a Docker
container -- by default, Docker runs the container with seccomp, with
a profile that disables the personality syscall. You can tell Docker
to use a less restricted seccomp profile, but I think we should just
fix it in GDB.
"man 2 personality" says:
This system call first appeared in Linux 1.1.20 (and thus first
in a stable kernel release with Linux 1.2.0); library support
was added in glibc 2.3.
...
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE (since Linux 2.6.12)
With this flag set, disable address-space-layout randomization.
glibc 2.3 was released in 2002.
Linux 2.6.12 was released in 2005.
The original patch that added the configure checks was submitted in
2008. The first version of the patch that was submitted to the list
called personality from common code:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058204.html
and then was moved to Linux-specific code:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058209.html
Since HAVE_PERSONALITY is only checked in Linux code, and
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE exists for over 15 years, I propose just completely
removing the configure checks.
If for some odd reason, some remotely modern system still needs a
configure check, then we can revert this commit but drop the
AC_RUN_IFELSE in favor of always doing the AC_LINK_IFELSE
cross-compile fallback.

* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_target::supports_disable_randomization):

Currently gdb has a configure option:
...
$ ./src/gdb/configure --help
...
--without-included-regex
don't use included regex; this is the default on
systems with version 2 of the GNU C library (use
with caution on other system)
...
The configure option controls config.h macro USE_INCLUDED_REGEX, which is
used in gdb/gdb_regex.h to choose between:
- using regex from libiberty (which is included in the binutils-gdb.git repo,
hence the 'included' in USE_INCLUDED_REGEX), or
- using regex.h.
In the former case, the symbol regcomp is remapped to a symbol xregcomp, which
is then provided by libiberty.
In the latter case, the symbol regcomp is resolved at runtime, usually binding
to libc. However, there is no mechanism in place to enforce this.
PR27681 is an example of where that causes problems. On openSUSE Tumbleweed,
the ncurses package got the --with-pcre2 configure switch enabled, and solved
the resulting dependencies using:
...
$ cat /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so
/* GNU ld script */
-INPUT(/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 AS_NEEDED(-ltinfo -ldl))
+INPUT(/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 AS_NEEDED(-ltinfo -ldl -lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8))
...
This lead to regcomp being bound to libpcre2-posix instead of libc.
This causes problems in several ways:
- by compiling using regex.h, we've already chosen a specific regex_t
implementation, and the one from pcre2-posix is not the same.
- in gdb_regex.c we use GNU regex function re_search, which pcre2-posix
doesn't provide, so while regcomp binds to pcre2-posix, re_search binds to
libc.
A note on the latter: it's actually a bug to compile a regex using regcomp and
then pass it to re_search. The GNU regex interface requires one to use
re_compile_pattern or re_compile_fastmap. But as long we're using one of the
GNU regex incarnations in gnulib, glibc or libiberty, we get away with this.
The PR could be fixed by adding -lc in a specific position in the link line,
to force regcomp to be bound to glibc. But this solution was considered
in the discussion in the PR as being brittle, and possibly causing problems
elsewhere.
Another solution offered was to restrict regex usage to posix, and no longer
use the GNU regex API. This however could mean having to reproduce some of
that functionality locally, which would mean maintaining the same
functionality in more than one place.
The solution chosen here, is to hardcode --with-included-regex, that is, using
libiberty.
The option of using glibc for regex was introduced because glibc became the
authorative source for GNU regex, so it offered the possibility to link
against a more up-to-date regex version.
In that aspect, this patch is a step back. But we have the option of using a
more up-to-date regex version as a follow-up step: by using the regex from
gnulib.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Adds the ability to process commands at a new phase during GDB's
startup. This phase is earlier than the current initialisation file
processing, before GDB has produced any output.
The number of commands that can be processed at this early stage will
be limited, and it is expected that the only commands that would be
processed at this stage will relate to some of the fundamentals of how
GDB starts up.
Currently the only commands that it makes sense to add to this early
initialization file are those like 'set style version ....' as the
version string is displayed during startup before the standard
initialization files are parsed. As such this commit fully resolved
bug cli/25956.
This commit adds a mechanism to execute these early initialization
files from a users HOME directory, as well as some corresponding
command line flags for GDB.
The early initialization files that GDB will currently check for are
~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit (on Linux like systems) or ~/.gdbearlyinit
if the former is not found.
The output of 'gdb --help' has been extended to include a list of the
early initialization files being processed.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

The original configure-time tests in gdb/ and gdbserver/ failed to
detect that 'socklen_t' is defined in MinGW headers because the test
program included only sys/socket.h, which is absent in MinGW system
headers. However on MS-Windows this data type is declared in another
header, ws2tcpip.h. The modified test programs try using ws2tcpip.h
if sys/socket.h is unavailable.

I recently stumbled on this code mentioning Linux kernel 2.6.25, and
thought it could be time for some spring cleaning (newer GDBs probably
don't need to supports 12-year old kernels). I then found that the
"legacy" case is probably broken anyway, which gives an even better
motivation for its removal.
In short, this patch removes the configure checks that check if
user_regs_struct contains the fs_base/gs_base fields and adjusts all
uses of the HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_{FS,GS}_BASE macros. The
longer explanation/rationale follows.
Apparently, Linux kernels since 2.6.25 (that's from 2008) have been
reliably providing fs_base and gs_base as part of user_regs_struct.
Commit df5d438e33d7 in the Linux kernel [1] seems related. This means
that we can get these values by reading registers with PTRACE_GETREGS.
Previously, these values were obtained using a separate
PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL ptrace call.
First, I'm not even sure the configure check was really right in the
first place.
The user_regs_struct used by GDB comes from
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/user.h (or equivalent on other
distros) and is provided by glibc. glibc has had the fs_base/gs_base
fields in there for a very long time, at least since this commit from
2001 [2]. The Linux kernel also has its version of user_regs_struct,
which I think was exported to user-space at some point. It included the
fs_base/gs_base fields since at least this 2002 commit [3]. In any
case, my conclusion is that the fields were there long before the
aforementioned Linux kernel commit. The kernel commit didn't add these
fields, it only made sure that they have reliable values when obtained
with PTRACE_GETREGS.
So, checking for the presence of the fs_base/gs_base fields in struct
user_regs_struct doesn't sound like a good way of knowing if we can
reliably get the fs_base/gs_base values from PTRACE_GETREGS. My guess
is that if we were using that strategy on a < 2.6.25 kernel, things
would not work correctly:
- configure would find that the user_regs_struct has the fs_base/gs_base
fields (which are probided by glibc anyway)
- we would be reading the fs_base/gs_base values using PTRACE_GETREGS,
for which the kernel would provide unreliable values
Second, I have tried to see how things worked by forcing GDB to not use
fs_base/gs_base from PTRACE_GETREGS (forcing it to use the "legacy"
code, by configuring with
ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_gs_base=no ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_fs_base=no
Doing so breaks writing registers back to the inferior. For example,
calling an inferior functions gives an internal error:

The problem seems to be that amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers
calls amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p to know whether gregset provides
fs_base. When !HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE,
amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p returns false. store_registers
therefore assumes that it must be an "xstate" register. This is of
course wrong, and that leads to the failed assertion when
i387_collect_xsave doesn't recognize the register.
amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers could probably be fixed to
handle this case, but I don't think it's worth it, given that it would
only be to support very old kernels.

I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:
/* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */
#ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
#endif
I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).
But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.
This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.
GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.
This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.
For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.

The motivation behind this commit is to make it easier to bundle the
Python *.py library files with GDB when statically linking GDB against
libpython. The Python files will be manually added into the GDB
installation tree, and GDB should be able to find them at run-time.
The installation tree will look like this:
.
|-- bin/
|-- include/
|-- lib/
| `-- python3.8/
`-- share/
The benefit here is that the entire installation tree can be bundled
into a single archive and copied to another machine with a different
version of Python installed, and GDB will still work, including its
Python support.
In use the new configure options would be used something like this,
first build and install a static Python library:
mkdir python
cd python
# Clone or download Python into a src/ directory.
mkdir build
export PYTHON_INSTALL_PATH=$PWD/install
cd build
../src/configure --disable-shared --prefix=$PYTHON_INSTALL_PATH
make
make install
Now build and install GDB:
mkdir binutils-gdb
cd binutils-gdb
# Clone or download GDB into a src/ directory.
mkdir build
export GDB_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/install
cd build
../src/configure \
--prefix=$GDB_INSTALL_DIR \
--with-python=$PYTHON_INSTALL_PATH/bin/python3 \
--with-python-libdir=$GDB_INSTALL_DIR/lib
make all-gdb
make install-gdb
Finally, copy the Python libraries into the GDB install:
cp -r $PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR/lib/python3.8/ $GDB_INSTALL_DIR/lib
After this the Python src, build, and install directories are no
longer needed and can be deleted.
If the new --with-python-libdir option is not used then the existing
behaviour is left unchanged, GDB will look for the Python libraries in
the lib/ directory within the python path. The concatenation of the
python prefix and the string 'lib/' is now done at configure time,
rather than at run time in GDB as it was previous, however, this was
never something that the user had dynamic control over, so there's no
loss of functionality.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
* configure.ac: Add --with-python-libdir option.
* main.c: Use WITH_PYTHON_LIBDIR.

This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb. (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)
The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread. So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.
The sigprocmask man page says:
The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
process; see pthread_sigmask(3).
This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.
I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.
I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about
that platform and because I cannot test it.
Finally, this modifies an existing spot in the Guile layer to use the
new facility.

This adds a configure check for std::thread. This is needed because
std::thread is not available on some systems, like some versions of
mingw and DJGPP.
This also adds configury to make sure that a threaded gdb links
against the correct threading library (-lpthread or the like), and
passes the right flags (e.g., -pthread) to the compilations.
Note that this also links gdbserver against the thread library. This
is not strictly necessary at this point in the series, but a later
patch will change gdbsupport to use pthread_sigmask, at which point
this will be needed.

Adds a configure option --with-system-gdbinit-dir to specify a directory
in which to look for gdbinit files. All files in this directory are
loaded on startup (subject to -n/-nx as usual) as long as the extension
matches a known and enabled scripting language (.gdb/.py/.scm).
This also changes get_ext_lang_of_file to support ".gdb" files, similar
to get_ext_lang_defn's handling of EXT_LANG_GDB.

The version checking code is not necessary. It is only used to define
HAVE_LIBPYTHON2_6 or HAVE_LIBPYTHON2_7, which is not used anywhere.

the Python headers can be (and is) used, which does not require updating
configure.ac whenever a new Python version is released.

XXHash is faster than htab_hash_string:
------------------------------------------------------------
Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
------------------------------------------------------------
BM_xxh3 11 ns 11 ns 65887249
BM_xxh32 19 ns 19 ns 36511877
BM_xxh64 16 ns 16 ns 42964585
BM_hash_string 182 ns 182 ns 3853125
BM_iterative_hash 77 ns 77 ns 9087638
Unfortunately, XXH3 is still experimental (see
https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash#user-content-new-experimental-hash-algorithm)
However, regular XXH64 is still a lot faster than
htab_hash_string per my benchmark above. I used the
following string for the benchmark:
static constexpr char str[] = "_ZZZL13make_gdb_typeP7gdbarchP10tdesc_typeEN16gdb_type_creator19make_gdb_type_flagsEPK22tdesc_type_with_fieldsE19__PRETTY_FUNCTION__";
htab_hash_string is currently 4.35% + 7.98% (rehashing) of gdb
startup when attaching to Chrome's content_shell.
An additional 5.21% is spent in msymbol_hash, which does not use
this hash function. Unfortunately, since it has to lowercase the
string, it can't use this hash function.
BM_msymbol_hash 52 ns 52 ns 13281495
It may be worth investigating if strlen+XXHash is still faster than
htab_hash_string, which would make it easier to use in more places.
Debian ships xxhash as libxxhash{0,-dev}. Fedora ships it as xxhash-devel.

This patch drops gdb's configury support for glibc's mcheck function.
It has been observed to cause false abort()s, because it is
thread-unsafe yet interposes every malloc/free operation. So if any
library transitively used by gdb also uses threads, then these
functions can easily corrupt their own checking data. These days, gcc
ASAN and valgrind provide high quality checking, and mcheck is
apparently itself being slowly deprecated.
So, let's stop linking to it. Attached patch drops the
autoconf/Makefile machinery for both gdb and gdbserver. No
testsuite-visible impact. IMHO not worth mentioning in NEWS.

PR tui/14126 notes that ANSI terminal escape sequences don't affect
the colors shown in the TUI. A simple way to see this is to try the
extended-prompt example from the gdb manual.
Curses does not pass escape sequences through to the terminal.
Instead, it replaces non-printable characters with a visible
representation, for example "^[" for the ESC character.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a simple ANSI terminal sequence
parser to gdb. These sequences are decoded and those that are
recognized are turned into the appropriate curses calls.
The curses approach to color handling is unusual and so there are some
oddities in the implementation.
Standard curses has no notion of the default colors of the terminal.
So, if you set the foreground color, it is not possible to reset it --
you have to pick some other color. ncurses provides an extension to
handle this, so this patch updates configure and uses it when
available.
Second, in curses, colors always come in pairs: you cannot set just
the foreground. This patch handles this by tracking actually-used
pairs of colors and keeping a table of these for reuse.
Third, there are a limited number of such pairs available. In this
patch, if you try to use too many color combinations, gdb will just
ignore some color changes.
Finally, in addition to limiting the number of color pairs, curses
also limits the number of colors. This means that, when using
extended 8- or 24-bit color sequences, it may be possible to exhaust
the curses color table.
I am very sour on the curses design now.
I do not know how to write a test for this, so I did not.

Building with mingw currently fails:
CXX unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.o
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.c: In function ‘void selftests::mkdir_recursive::test()’:

if (mkdtemp (base) == NULL)
^
Commit
e418a61a67a ("Move mkdir_recursive to common/filestuff.c")
moved this code, but also removed the HAVE_MKDTEMP guard which prevented
the mkdtemp call to be compiled on mingw.
We can either put back the HAVE_MKDTEMP ifdef, or import the gnulib
mkdtemp module, which provides the function for mingw. Since the
mkdir_recursive is susceptible to be used on mingw at some point, I
think it would be nice to have it tested on mingw, so I did the latter.
Once built, I tested it on Windows (copied the resulting gdb.exe on a
Windows machine, ran it, and ran "maint selftest mkdir_recursive"). It
failed, because the temporary directory is hardcoded to "/tmp/...". I
therefore added and used a new get_standard_temp_dir function, which
returns an appropriate temporary directory for the host platform.

configure checks for declarations of free, malloc, and realloc; but
the results are only used in a single spot: utils.c. I think these
checks are long since obsolete, so this patch removes them.
Grepping the entire tree for these HAVE_DECL_ symbols, the only uses
of possible interest to gdb come from bfd/sysdep.h; but this is not
(nor should be) included by gdb. (And furthermore I think the code
there is probably also obsolete.)

When trying to run the update-gnulib.sh script in gdb, I get this:
Error: Wrong automake version (Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\${ <-- HERE ([^ =:+{}]+)}/ at /opt/automake/1.11.1/bin/automake line 4113.), we need 1.11.1.
Aborting.
Apparently, it's an issue with a regex in automake that triggers a
warning starting with Perl 5.22. It has been fixed in automake 1.15.1.
So I think it's a good excuse to bump the versions of autoconf and
automake used in the gnulib import. And to avoid requiring multiple
builds of autoconf/automake, it was suggested that we bump the required
version of those tools for all binutils-gdb.
For autoconf, the 2.69 version is universally available, so it's an easy
choice. For automake, different distros and distro versions have
different automake versions. But 1.15.1 seems to be the most readily
available as a package. In any case, it's easy to build it from source.
I removed the version checks from AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS and AC_PREREQ,
because I don't think they are useful in our case. They only specify a
lower bound for the acceptable version of automake/autoconf. That's
useful if you let the user choose the version of the tool they want to
use, but want to set a minimum version (because you use a feature that
was introduced in that version). In our case, we force people to use a
specific version anyway. For the autoconf version, we have the check in
config/override.m4 that enforces the version we want. It will be one
less thing to update next time we change autotools version.
I hit a few categories of problems that required some changes. They are
described below along with the chosen solutions.
Problem 1:
configure.ac:17: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see:
configure.ac:17: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation
Solution 1:
Adjust the code based on the example at that URL.
Problem 2 (in zlib/):
Makefile.am: error: required file './INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'INSTALL'
Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './COPYING' not found
Makefile.am: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'COPYING'
Solution 2:
Add the foreign option to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS.
Problem 3:
doc/Makefile.am:20: error: support for Cygnus-style trees has been removed
Solution 3:
Remove the cygnus options.
Problem 4:
Makefile.am:656: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Solution 4:
Rename "INCLUDES = " to "AM_CPPFLAGS += " (because AM_CPPFLAGS is
already defined earlier).
Problem 5:
doc/Makefile.am:71: warning: suffix '.texinfo' for Texinfo files is discouraged; use '.texi' instead
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: (rather than in the srcdir) the generated '.info' files that
doc/Makefile.am: appear to be cleaned, by e.g. being listed in CLEANFILES or
doc/Makefile.am: DISTCLEANFILES.
doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 5:
Rename .texinfo files to .texi.
Problem 6:
doc/Makefile.am: warning: Oops!
doc/Makefile.am: It appears this file (or files included by it) are triggering
doc/Makefile.am: an undocumented, soon-to-be-removed automake hack.
doc/Makefile.am: Future automake versions will no longer place in the builddir

doc/Makefile.am: If you want your '.info' files to be placed in the builddir
doc/Makefile.am: rather than in the srcdir, you have to use the shiny new
doc/Makefile.am: 'info-in-builddir' automake option.
Solution 6:
Remove the hack at the bottom of doc/Makefile.am and use
the info-in-builddir automake option.
Problem 7:
doc/Makefile.am:35: error: required file '../texinfo.tex' not found
doc/Makefile.am:35: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'texinfo.tex'
Solution 7:
Use the no-texinfo.tex automake option. We also have one in
texinfo/texinfo.tex, not sure if we should point to that, or move it
(or a newer version of it added with automake --add-missing) to
top-level.
Problem 8:
Makefile.am:131: warning: source file 'config/tc-aarch64.c' is in a subdirectory,
Makefile.am:131: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled
automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility.
automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects'
automake: automake option hasn't been enabled. For now, the corresponding output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory. However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will
automake: unconditionally cause object files to be placed in the same subdirectory
automake: of the corresponding sources.
automake: You are advised to start using 'subdir-objects' option throughout your
automake: project, to avoid future incompatibilities.
Solution 8:
Use subdir-objects, that means adjusting references to some .o that will now
be in config/.
Problem 9:

In my multi-target branch I ran into problems with GDB's terminal
handling that exist in master as well, with multi-inferior debugging.
This patch adds a testcase for said problems
(gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp), fixes the problems, fixes PR
gdb/13211 as well (and adds a testcase for that too,
gdb.base/interrupt-daemon.exp).
The basis of the problem I ran into is the following. Consider a
scenario where you have:
- inferior 1 - started with "attach", process is running on some
other terminal.
- inferior 2 - started with "run", process is sharing gdb's terminal.
In this scenario, when you stop/resume both inferiors, you want GDB to
save/restore the terminal settings of inferior 2, the one that is
sharing GDB's terminal. I.e., you want inferior 2 to "own" the
terminal (in target_terminal::is_ours/target_terminal::is_inferior
sense).
Unfortunately, that's not what you get currently. Because GDB doesn't
know whether an attached inferior is actually sharing GDB's terminal,
it tries to save/restore its settings anyway, ignoring errors. In
this case, this is pointless, because inferior 1 is running on a
different terminal, but GDB doesn't know better.
And then, because it is only possible to have the terminal settings of
a single inferior be in effect at a time, or make one inferior/pgrp be
the terminal's foreground pgrp (aka, only one inferior can "own" the
terminal, ignoring fork children here), if GDB happens to try to
restore the terminal settings of inferior 1 first, then GDB never
restores the terminal settings of inferior 2.
This patch fixes that and a few things more along the way:
- Moves enum target_terminal::terminal_state out of the
target_terminal class (it's currently private) and makes it a
scoped enum so that it can be easily used elsewhere.
- Replaces the inflow.c:terminal_is_ours boolean with a
target_terminal_state variable. This allows distinguishing is_ours
and is_ours_for_output states. This allows finally making
child_terminal_ours_1 do something with its "output_only"
parameter.
- Makes each inferior have its own copy of the
is_ours/is_ours_for_output/is_inferior state.
- Adds a way for GDB to tell whether the inferior is sharing GDB's
terminal. Works best on Linux and Solaris; the fallback works just
as well as currently.
- With that, we can remove the inf->attach_flag tests from
child_terminal_inferior/child_terminal_ours.
- Currently target_ops.to_ours is responsible for both saving the
current inferior's terminal state, and restoring gdb's state.
Because each inferior has its own terminal state (possibly handled
by different targets in a multi-target world, even), we need to
split the inferior-saving part from the gdb-restoring part. The
patch adds a new target_ops.to_save_inferior target method for
that.
- Adds a new target_terminal::save_inferior() function, so that
sequences like:
scoped_restore_terminal_state save_state;
target_terminal::ours_for_output ();
... restore back inferiors that were
target_terminal_state::is_inferior before back to is_inferior, and
leaves inferiors that were is_ours alone.
- Along the way, this adds a default implementation of
target_pass_ctrlc to inflow.c (for inf-child.c), that handles
passing the Ctrl-C to a process running on GDB's terminal or to
some other process otherwise.
- Similarly, adds a new target default implementation of
target_interrupt, for the "interrupt" command. The current
implementation of this hook in inf-ptrace.c kills the whole process
group, but that's incorrect/undesirable because we may not be
attached to all processes in the process group. And also, it's
incorrect because inferior_process_group() doesn't really return
the inferior's real process group id if the inferior is not a
process group leader... This is the cause of PR gdb/13211 [1],
which this patch fixes. While at it, that target method's "ptid"
parameter is eliminated, because it's not really used.
- A new test is included that exercises and fixes PR gdb/13211, and
also fixes a GDB issue reported on stackoverflow that I ran into
while working on this [2]. The problem is similar to PR gdb/13211,
except that it also triggers with Ctrl-C. When debugging a daemon
(i.e., a process that disconnects from the controlling terminal and
is not a process group leader, then Ctrl-C doesn't work, you just
can't interrupt the inferior at all, resulting in a hung debug
session. The problem is that since the inferior is no longer
associated with gdb's session / controlling terminal, then trying
to put the inferior in the foreground fails. And so Ctrl-C never
reaches the inferior directly. pass_signal is only used when the
inferior is attached, but that is not the case here. This is fixed
by the new child_pass_ctrlc. Without the fix, the new
interrupt-daemon.exp testcase fails with timeout waiting for a
SIGINT that never arrives.
[1] PR gdb/13211 - Async / Process group and interrupt not working
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13211
[2] GDB not reacting Ctrl-C when after fork() and setsid()
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46101292/gdb-not-reacting-ctrl-c-when-after-fork-and-setsid
Note this patch does _not_ fix:
- PR gdb/14559 - The 'interrupt' command does not work if sigwait is in use
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14559
- PR gdb/9425 - When using "sigwait" GDB doesn't trap SIGINT. Ctrl+C terminates program when should break gdb.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9425
The only way to fix that that I know of (without changing the kernel)
is to make GDB put inferiors in a separate session (create a
pseudo-tty master/slave pair, make the inferior run with the slave as
its terminal, and have gdb pump output/input on the master end).

This is the previously mentioned patch to get rid of
unstructured/ioctl-based procfs support in procfs.c. Given that support
for structured procfs was introduced in Solaris 2.6 back in 1997 and
we're just removing support for Solaris < 10, there's no point in
carrying that baggage (and tons of support for IRIX and OSF/1 as well)
around any longer.
Most of the patch should be straightforward (removing support for
!NEW_PROC_API, non-Solaris OSes and pre-Solaris 10 quirks).
Only a few points need explanations:
* <sys/syscall.h> was already included unconditionally in most places,
so there's no need to have guards in a few remaining ones.
* configure.host already obsoletes i?86-*-sysv4.2, i?86-*-sysv5, so
NEW_PROC_API detection for those in configure.ac can go.
* I'm still including <sys/procfs.h> with #define _STRUCTURED_PROC 1.
Theoretically, it would be better to include <procfs.h> on Solaris
(which includes that define), but that breaks the build over
<procfs.h> vs. gdb's "procfs.h", and doesn't exist on Linux.
* I've regenerated syscall_table[] in proc-events.c with a small script
from Solaris 10, 11.3, 11.4 <sys/syscall.h>, so there should be no
traces of older Solaris versions and other OSes left.
* prsysent_t and DYNAMIC_SYSCALLS was only used for AIX 5, but AIX
doesn't use procfs.c any longer, so all related code can go.
The patch was generated with diff -w so one can easier see changes
without being distracted by simple reindentations.
So far, it has only been compiled and smoke-tested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.1[01], sparcv9-sun-solaris2.1[01], and
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Certainly needs more testing (Solaris 11.3
vs. 11.4, 32-bit gdb, testsuite once I've figured out what's wrong on
Solaris 10 etc.), but it's enough to get a first impression how much
cleanup is possible here.
