gdb/dwarf: don't enqueue CU in maybe_queue_comp_unit if already expanded
The previous commit log described how items could be left lingering in the dwarf2_per_bfd::queue and how that could cause trouble. This patch fixes the issue by changing maybe_queue_comp_unit so that it doesn't put a CU in the to-expand queue if that CU is already expanded. This will make it so that when dwarf2_fetch_die_type_sect_off calls follow_die_offset and maybe_queue_comp_unit, it won't enqueue the target CU, because it will see the CU is already expanded. This assumes that if a CU is dwarf2_fetch_die_type_sect_off's target CU, it will have previously been expanded. I think it is the case, but I can't be 100% sure. If that's not true, the assertions added in the following patch will catch it, and it means we'll have to re-think a bit more how things work (it wouldn't be well handled at all today anyway). This fixes something else in maybe_queue_comp_unit that looks wrong. Imagine the DIEs of a CU are loaded in memory, but that CU is not expanded. In that case, maybe_queue_comp_unit will use this early return: /* If the compilation unit is already loaded, just mark it as used. */ dwarf2_cu *cu = per_objfile->get_cu (per_cu); if (cu != nullptr) { cu->last_used = 0; return 0; } ... so the CU won't be queued for expansion. Whether the DIEs of a CU are loaded in memory and whether that CU is expanded are two orthogonal things, but that function appears to mix them. So, move the queuing above that check / early return, so that if the CU's DIEs are loaded in memory but the CU is not expanded yet, it gets enqueued. I tried to improve maybe_queue_comp_unit's documentation to clarify what the return value means. By clarifying this, I noticed that two callers (follow_die_offset and follow_die_sig_1) access the CU's DIEs after calling maybe_queue_comp_unit, only relying on maybe_queue_comp_unit's return value to tell whether DIEs need to be loaded first or not. As explained in the new comment, this is problematic: maybe_queue_comp_unit's return value doesn't tell whether DIEs are currently loaded, it means whether maybe_queue_comp_unit requires the caller to load them. If the CU is already expanded but the DIEs to have been freed, maybe_queue_comp_unit returns 0, meaning "I don't need you to load the DIEs". So if these two functions (follow_die_offset and follow_die_sig_1) need to access the DIEs in any case, for their own usage, they should make sure to load them if they are not loaded already. I therefore added an extra check to the condition they use, making it so they will always load the DIEs if they aren't already. From what I found, other callers don't care for the CU's DIEs, they call maybe_queue_comp_unit to ensure the CU gets expanded eventually, but don't care for it after that. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/26828 * dwarf2/read.c (maybe_queue_comp_unit): Check if CU is expanded to decide whether or not to enqueue it for expansion. (follow_die_offset, follow_die_sig_1): Ensure we load the DIEs after calling maybe_queue_comp_unit. Change-Id: Id98c6b60669f4b4b21b9be16d0518fc62bdf686a

+ (a dwarf2_cu object exists for this CU, and `dwarf2_per_objfile::get_cu`
+ returns non-nullptr). If the CU gets enqueued by this function but its DIEs
+ are not yet loaded, the the caller must load the CU's DIEs to ensure the
+ invariant is respected.

+ if:
+
+ - the CU is already expanded, and therefore does not get enqueued
+ - the CU gets enqueued for expansion, but its DIEs are already loaded
+
+ Note that the caller should not use this function's return value as an
+ indicator of whether the CU's DIEs are loaded right now, it should check
+ that by calling `dwarf2_per_objfile::get_cu` instead. */
