Fix PR gdb/20287 - x32 and "gdb_static_assert (sizeof (nat_siginfo_t) == sizeof (siginfo_t))"
Building an x32 gdb trips on a static assertion: In file included from .../src/gdb/common/common-defs.h:71:0, from .../src/gdb/nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c:21: .../src/gdb/common/gdb_assert.h:26:66: error: size of array ‘never_defined_just_used_for_checking’ is negative extern int never_defined_just_used_for_checking[(expr) ? 1 : -1] ^ .../src/gdb/nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c:113:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘gdb_static_assert’ gdb_static_assert (sizeof (nat_siginfo_t) == sizeof (siginfo_t)); ^ The problem is that the way nat_siginfo_t is defined, it can only match the host's siginfo_t object when gdb is built as a 64-bit program. Several bits of nat_siginfo_t are off: - nat_siginfo_t's _pad field's definition is: int _pad[((128 / sizeof (int)) - 4)]; while /usr/include/bits/siginfo.h has: # define __SI_MAX_SIZE 128 # if __WORDSIZE == 64 # define __SI_PAD_SIZE ((__SI_MAX_SIZE / sizeof (int)) - 4) # else # define __SI_PAD_SIZE ((__SI_MAX_SIZE / sizeof (int)) - 3) # endif and __WORDSIZE == 32 for x32. This is what causes the size of nat_siginfo_t to be wrong and the assertion to fail. - the nat_clock_t type is incorrect for 64-bit. We have this: /* For native 64-bit, clock_t in _sigchld is 64bit aligned at 4 bytes. */ typedef long __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (4))) nat_clock_t; however, /usr/include/bits/siginfo.h has: # if defined __x86_64__ && __WORDSIZE == 32 /* si_utime and si_stime must be 4 byte aligned for x32 to match the kernel. We align siginfo_t to 8 bytes so that si_utime and si_stime are actually aligned to 8 bytes since their offsets are multiple of 8 bytes. */ typedef __clock_t __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (4))) __sigchld_clock_t; # define __SI_ALIGNMENT __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (8))) # else typedef __clock_t __sigchld_clock_t; # define __SI_ALIGNMENT # endif So we're currently forcing 4-byte alignment on clock_t, when it should only be so for x32, not 64-bit. The fix: - Leaves nat_siginfo_t strictly for the 64-bit ABI. - Adds a new typedef for the siginfo type that ptrace uses (ptrace_siginfo_t). An x32 gdb always gets/sets an x32 siginfo_t type with PTRACE_GETSIGINFO/PTRACE_SETSIGINFO. - Uses this new ptrace_siginfo_t type instead of nat_siginfo_t as the intermediate conversion type. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-07-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * amd64-linux-nat.c (amd64_linux_siginfo_fixup): Rename 'native' parameter to 'ptrace'. * nat/amd64-linux-siginfo.c (GDB_SI_SIZE): New define. (nat_uptr_t): New an unsigned long. (nat_clock_t): Remove attribute __aligned__. (struct nat_timeval): Delete. (nat_siginfo_t): Remove attribute __aligned__. (ptrace_siginfo_t): Define. (compat_siginfo_from_siginfo, siginfo_from_compat_siginfo) (compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo) (siginfo_from_compat_x32_siginfo): Make 'from' parameter const. Convert through a ptrace_siginfo_t instead of a nat_siginfo_t. Remove casts. (amd64_linux_siginfo_fixup_common): Rename 'native' parameter to 'ptrace'. Remove static assertions. (top level): New static assertions. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2016-07-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-x86-low.c (x86_siginfo_fixup): Rename 'native' parameter to 'ptrace'.
