gdb.server/server-run.exp
One thing GDB always does when the inferior stops is finding out where
it's stopped at, by way of querying the value of the program counter
register.
To save a packet round trip, the remote target can send the PC
value (often alongside other frequently consulted registers such as the
stack pointer) in the stop reply packet as an "expedited register".
Test that this is actually done for the targets where gdbserver is
supposed to.
Extend the "maintenance print remote-registers" command output with an
"Expedited" column which says "yes" if the register was seen by GDB in
the last stop reply packet it received, and is left blank otherwise.
Tested for regressions on aarch64-linux-gnu native-extended-remote.
The testcase was tested on aarch64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu and
x86_64-linux-gnu native-remote and native-extended-remote targets.

While reviewing "catch (...)" uses I came across:
...
try
{
fileio_error remote_errno;
m_remote->remote_hostio_close (m_fd, &remote_errno);
}
catch (...)
{
/* Swallow exception before it escapes the dtor. If
something goes wrong, likely the connection is gone,
and there's nothing else that can be done. */
}
...
This also swallows gdb_exception_quit and gdb_exception_forced_quit. I don't
know whether these can actually happen here, but if not it's better to
accommodate for the possibility anyway.
Fix this by handling gdb_exception_quit and gdb_exception_forced_quit
explicitly.
It could be that "catch (...)" should be replaced by
"catch (const gdb_exception &)" but that depends on what kind of exception
remote_hostio_close is expected to throw, and I don't know that, so I'm
leaving it as is.

Event tracing allows GDB to show information about interesting asynchronous
events when tracing with Intel PT. Subsequent patches will add support for
displaying each type of event.
Enabling event-tracing unconditionally would result in rather noisy output, as
breakpoints themselves result in interrupt events. Which is why this patch adds
a set/show command to allow the user to enable/disable event-tracing before
starting a recording. The event-tracing setting has no effect on an already
active recording. The default setting is off. As event tracing will use the
auxiliary infrastructure added by ptwrite, the user can still disable printing
events, even when event-tracing was enabled, by using the /a switch for the
record instruction-history/function-call-history commands.

Most calls to lookup_minimal_symbol don't pass a value for sfile and
objf. Make these parameters optional (have a default value of
nullptr). And since passing a value to `objf` is much more common than
passing a value to `sfile`, swap the order so `objf` comes first, to
avoid having to pass a nullptr value to `sfile` when wanting to pass a

This commit adds the GDB side of target_ops::fileio_stat. There's an
implementation for inf_child_target, which just calls 'lstat', and
there's an implementation for remote_target, which sends a new
vFile:stat packet.
The new packet is documented.
There's still no users of target_fileio_stat as I have not yet added
support for vFile::stat to gdbserver. If these packets are currently
sent to gdbserver then they will be reported as not supported and the
ENOSYS error code will be returned.

While working on a later patch in this series, I noticed that GDB
would print the message:
Reading /path/to/file from remote target...
Even when /path/to/file doesn't exist on the remote target.
GDB does indeed try to open /path/to/file, but I'm not sure we really
need to tell the user unless we actually manage to open the file, and
plan to read content from it.
If we consider how GDB probes for separate debug files, we can attempt
to open multiple possible files, most of them will not exist. When we
are native debugging we don't bother telling the user about each file
we're checking for, we just announce any file we finally use.
I think it makes sense to do a similar thing for remote files.
So, in remote_target::remote_hostio_open(), I'd like to move the block
of code that prints the above message to after the open call has been
made, and we should only print the message if the open succeeds.
Now GDB only tells the user about files that we actually open and read
from the remote.

In remote.c lives remote_target::remote_hostio_send_command(), which
is used to handle sending a fileio packet to the remote, and for
parsing the reply packet.
Some commands, e.g. open, pwrite, close, send some arguments to the
remote, and then get back a single integer return value.
Other commands though, e.g. pread, readlink, fstat, send some
arguments and get back an integer return value and some additional
data. This additional data is called the attachment.
Except, we only get the attachment if the command completes
successfully. For example, calling readlink with a non existent path
will result in a return packet: 'F-1,2' with no attachment. This is
as expected.
Within remote_hostio_send_command we call remote_hostio_parse_result,
this parses the status code (-1 in our example above) and
then parses the errno value (2 in our example above).
Back in remote_hostio_parse_result we then hit this block:
/* Make sure we saw an attachment if and only if we expected one. */
if ((attachment_tmp == NULL && attachment != NULL)
|| (attachment_tmp != NULL && attachment == NULL))
{
*remote_errno = FILEIO_EINVAL;
return -1;
}
Which ensures that commands that expect an attachment, got an
attachment.
The problem is, we'll only get an attachment if the command
succeeded. If it didn't, then there is no attachment, and that is as
expected.
As remote_hostio_parse_result always sets the returned error number to
FILEIO_SUCCESS unless the packet contained an actual error
number (e.g. 2 in our example above), I suggest we should return early
if remote_hostio_parse_result indicates an error packet.
I ran into this issue while working on another patch. In that patch I
was checking the error code returned by a remote readlink call and
spotted that when I passed an invalid path I got EINVAL instead of
ENOENT. This patch fixes this issue.
Unfortunately the patch I was working on evolved, and my need to check
the error code went away, and so, right now, I have no way to reveal
this bug. But I think this is an obviously correct fix, and worth
merging even without a test.

in the packet_result self test:
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:161:7: runtime error: load of value 92, which is not a valid value for type 'bool'
This happens because packet_result::m_textual_err_msg is uninitialized
when using the second constructor. When such a packet_result object
gets copied, an invalid value for m_textual_err_msg (a bool field) is
loaded, which triggers ubsan.

commit 3623271997a5c0d79609aa6a1f35ef61b4469054
Date: Tue Jan 30 15:55:47 2024 +0100
remote.c: Use packet_check_result
Introduced a bug in the error handling of the qRcmd packet. Prior to
this commit if a packet had status PACKET_OK then, if the packet
contained the text "OK" we considered the packet handled. But, if the
packet contained any other content (that was not an error message)
then the content was printed to the user.
After the above commit this was no longer the case, any non-error
packet that didn't contain "OK" would be treated as an error.
Currently, gdbserver doesn't exercise this path so it's not possible
to write a simple test for this case. When gdbserver wishes to print
output it sends back an 'O' string output packet, these packets are
handled earlier in the process. Then once gdbserver has finished
sending output an 'OK' packet is sent.

After the previous commit, if starting the inferior process with "run"
(vRun packet) fails, GDBserver reports an error using the "E." textual
error packet. On the GDB side, however, GDB doesn't yet do anything
with the textual error string. This commit improves that.
This makes remote debugging output the same as native output, when
possible, another small step in the "local/remote parity" project.
E.g., before, against GNU/Linux GDBserver:
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox
Running ".../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox" on the remote target failed
After, against GNU/Linux GDBserver (same as native):
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox
During startup program exited with code 126.
To know whether we have a textual error message, extend packet_result
to carry that information. While at it, convert packet_result to use
factory methods, and change its std::string parameter to a plain const
char *, as that it always what we have handy to pass to it.

This commit adds a new packet, qIsAddressTagged, allowing GDB remote
targets to use it to query the stub if a given address is tagged.
Currently, the memory tagging address check is done via a read query,
where the contents of /proc/<PID>/smaps is read and the flags are
inspected for memory tagging-related flags that indicate the address is
in a memory tagged region.
This is not ideal, for example, for QEMU stub and other cases, such as
on bare-metal, where there is no notion of an OS file like 'smaps.'
Hence, the introduction of qIsAddressTagged packet allows checking
if an address is tagged in an agnostic way.
The is_address_tagged target hook in remote.c attempts to use the
qIsAddressTagged packet first for checking if an address is tagged and
if the stub does not support such a packet (reply is empty) it falls
back to using the current mechanism that reads the contents of
/proc/<PID>/smaps via vFile requests.

This commit introduces a new target hook, target_is_address_tagged,
which is used instead of the gdbarch_tagged_address_p gdbarch hook in
the upper layer (printcmd.c).
This change enables easy specialization of memory tagging address
check per target in the future. As target_is_address_tagged continues
to utilize the gdbarch_tagged_address_p hook, there is no change in
behavior for all the targets that use the new target hook (i.e., the
remote.c, aarch64-linux-nat.c, and corelow.c targets).
Just the gdbarch_tagged_address_p signature is changed for convenience,
since target_is_address_tagged takes the address to be checked as a
CORE_ADDR type.

This changes serial_send_break and serial_write to throw exceptions
rather than attempt to set errno and return an error indicator. This
lets us correctly report failures on Windows.
Both functions had to be converted in a single patch because one
implementation of send_break works via write.
This also introduces remote_serial_send_break to handle error checking

remote.c assumes that a failure to open the serial connection will set
errno. This is somewhat true, because the Windows code tries to set
errno appropriately -- but only somewhat, because it isn't clear that
the "pex" code sets it, and the tcp code seems to do the wrong thing.
It seems better to simply have the serial open functions throw on
error.

if (serial_setbaudrate (rs->remote_desc, baud_rate))

/* The requested speed could not be set. Error out to

set remote_desc to NULL to avoid closing remote_desc
more than once. */
serial_close (rs->remote_desc);
rs->remote_desc = NULL;
perror_with_name (name);
The perror here cannot be correct, because if serial_setbaudrate did
set errno, it may be obscured by serial_close.
This patch changes serial_setbaudrate to throw an exception instead.

Since GDB now requires C++17, we don't need the internally maintained
gdb::optional implementation. This patch does the following replacing:
- gdb::optional -> std::optional
- gdb::in_place -> std::in_place
- #include "gdbsupport/gdb_optional.h" -> #include <optional>
This change has mostly been done automatically. One exception is
gdbsupport/thread-pool.* which did not use the gdb:: prefix as it
already lives in the gdb namespace.

While looking at the regcache code, I noticed that the address space
(passed to regcache when constructing it, and available through
regcache::aspace) wasn't relevant for the regcache itself. Callers of
regcache::aspace use that method because it appears to be a convenient
way of getting the address space for a thread, if you already have the
regcache. But there is always another way to get the address space, as
the callers pretty much always know which thread they are dealing with.
The regcache code itself doesn't use the address space.
This patch removes anything related to address_space from the regcache
code, and updates callers to get it from the thread in context. This
removes a bit of unnecessary complexity from the regcache code.
The current get_thread_arch_regcache function gets an address_space for
the given thread using the target_thread_address_space function (which
calls the target_ops::thread_address_space method). This suggest that
there might have been the intention of supporting per-thread address
spaces. But digging through the history, I did not find any such case.
Maybe this method was just added because we needed a way to get an
address space from a ptid (because constructing a regcache required an
address space), and this seemed like the right way to do it, I don't
know.
The only implementations of thread_address_space and
process_stratum_target::thread_address_space and
linux_nat_target::thread_address_space, which essentially just return
the inferior's address space. And thread_address_space is only used in
the current get_thread_arch_regcache, which gets removed. So, I think
that the thread_address_space target method can be removed, and we can
assume that it's fine to use the inferior's address space everywhere.
Callers of regcache::aspace are updated to get the address space from
the relevant inferior, either using some context they already know
about, or in last resort using the current global context.
So, to summarize:
- remove everything in regcache related to address spaces
- in particular, remove get_thread_arch_regcache, and rename
get_thread_arch_aspace_regcache to get_thread_arch_regcache
- remove target_ops::thread_address_space, and
target_thread_address_space
- adjust all users of regcache::aspace to get the address space another
way
