GDB: Introduce "info linker-namespaces" command
Continuing to improve GDB's ability to debug linker namespaces, this
commit adds the command "info linker- namespaces". The command is
similar to "info sharedlibrary" but focused on improved readability
when the inferior has multiple linker namespaces active. This command
can be used in 2 different ways, with or without an argument.
When called without argument, the command will print the number of
namespaces, and for each active namespace, it's identifier, how many
libraries are loaded in it, and all the libraries (in a similar table to
what "info sharedlibrary" shows). As an example, this is what GDB's
output could look like:
(gdb) info linker-namespaces
There are 2 linker namespaces loaded
There are 3 libraries loaded in linker namespace [[0]]
Displaying libraries for linker namespace [[0]]:
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
0x00007ffff7fc6000 0x00007ffff7fff000 Yes /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
0x00007ffff7ebc000 0x00007ffff7fa2000 Yes (*) /lib64/libm.so.6
0x00007ffff7cc9000 0x00007ffff7ebc000 Yes (*) /lib64/libc.so.6
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.
There are 4 libraries loaded in linker namespace [[1]]
Displaying libraries for linker namespace [[1]]:
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
0x00007ffff7fc6000 0x00007ffff7fff000 Yes /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
0x00007ffff7fb9000 0x00007ffff7fbe000 Yes gdb.base/dlmopen-ns-ids/dlmopen-lib.so
0x00007ffff7bc4000 0x00007ffff7caa000 Yes (*) /lib64/libm.so.6
0x00007ffff79d1000 0x00007ffff7bc4000 Yes (*) /lib64/libc.so.6
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.
When called with an argument, the argument must be a namespace
identifier (either with or without the square brackets decorators). In
this situation, the command will truncate the output to only show the
relevant information for the requested namespace. For example:
(gdb) info linker-namespaces 0
There are 3 libraries loaded in linker namespace [[0]]
Displaying libraries for linker namespace [[0]]:
From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
0x00007ffff7fc6000 0x00007ffff7fff000 Yes /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
0x00007ffff7ebc000 0x00007ffff7fa2000 Yes (*) /lib64/libm.so.6
0x00007ffff7cc9000 0x00007ffff7ebc000 Yes (*) /lib64/libc.so.6
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.
The test gdb.base/dlmopen-ns-id.exp has been extended to test this new
command. Because some gcc and glibc defaults can change between
systems, we are not guaranteed to always have libc and libm loaded in a
namespace, so we can't guarantee the number of libraries, but the range
of the result is 2, so we can still check for glaring issues.
