INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS contains:
- -quiet
- -iex "set width 0"
- -iex "set height 0"
There are test-cases that add these once more.
Clean this up.

In commit 31c50280179 ("[gdb/testsuite] Add -q to INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS") I added
-q to the INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS, but I forgot to update the INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS
example in gdb/testsuite/README.
Fix this by adding the -q there as well.

Consider a test-case compiled without debug info, containing:
...
char a = 'a';
char *
a_loc (void)
{
return &a;
}
...
We get:
...
(gdb) p (char)*a_loc ()
Cannot access memory at address 0x10
...
There's a bug in unop_ind_base_operation::evaluate that evaluates
"(char)*a_loc ()" the same as:
...
(gdb) p (char)*(char)a_loc ()
Cannot access memory at address 0x10
...
Fix this by instead evaluating it the same as:
...
(gdb) p (char)*(char *)a_loc ()
$1 = 97 'a'
...

Some of them no longer need a separate vvvv attribute, thus allowing
them to be simplified. For <aes> the situation is slightly different:
None of the remaining uses make use of vvvv anymore.

Since {vex}/{vex3} are respected on legacy mnemonics when -msse2avx is
in use, {evex} should be respected, too. So far this is the case only
for insns where eGPR-s can come into play. Extend coverage to insns with
only %xmm register and possibly immediate operands.
|
|
Legacy encoded SIMD insns are converted to AVX ones in that mode. When
eGPR-s are in use, i.e. with APX, convert to AVX10 insns (where
available; there are quite a few which can't be converted).
Note that LDDQU is represented as VMOVDQU32 (and the prior use of the
sse3 template there needs dropping, to get the order right).
Note further that in a few cases, due to the use of templates, AVX512VL
is used when AVX512F would suffice. Since AVX10 is the main reference,
this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
|
|
In order to allow to continue to use templatized SSE2AVX templates when
enhancing those to also cover eGPR usage, Disp8MemShift wants using to
deviate from what general template attributes supply. That requires
using Disp8MemShift in a way also affecting non-EVEX templates, yet
having this attribute set would so far implicitly mean EVEX encoding.
Recognize the case and instead zap the attribute if no other attribute
indicates EVEX encoding.
No change in generated tables.

Commit 9a03f218 ("Fix gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp on aarch64")
fixed a watchpoint bug in gdb -- but did not touch the corresponding
code in gdbserver.
This patch moves the gdb code into gdb/nat, so that it can be shared
with gdbserver, and then changes gdbserver to use it, fixing the bug.
This is yet another case where having a single back end would prevent
bugs.
I tested this using the AdaCore internal gdb testsuite.

In commit 1d45d90934b ("[gdb/symtab] Work around PR gas/29517") we added a
workaround for PR gas/29517.
The problem is present in gas version 2.39, and fixed in 2.40, so the
workaround is only active for gas version == 2.39.
However, the problem in gas is only fixed for dwarf version >= 3, which
supports DW_TAG_unspecified_type.
Fix this by also activating the workaround for dwarf version == 2.

When running test-case gdb.dwarf2/gdb-index-nodebug.exp with host board
local-remote-host and target board remote-gdbserver-on-localhost, I get:
...
$ ls build/gdb/testsuite
cache compiler.i config.log config.status gdb.log gdb.sum lib Makefile
outputs site.bak site.exp temp
...
The file compiler.i is there because get_compiler_info uses:
...
set ppout "$outdir/compiler.i"

The file is a temporary, and as such belongs in a temp dir. Fix this by using
standard_temp_file, moving the file to build/gdb/testsuite/temp/<pid>/compiler.i.

Test behaviour of watchpoints triggered by libc's memset/memcpy/memmove.
These functions are frequently optimized with specialized instructions
that favor larger memory access operations, so make sure GDB behaves
correctly in their presence.
There's a separate watched variable for each function so that the testcase
can test whether GDB correctly identified the watchpoint that triggered.
Also, the watchpoint is 28 bytes away from the beginning of the buffer
being modified, so that large memory accesses (if present) are exercised.

When GDB attaches to a multi-threaded process, it calls
linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads () to go through all threads found in
/proc/PID/task/ and call attach_proc_task_lwp_callback () on each of
them. If it does that twice without the callback reporting that a new
thread was found, then it considers that all inferior threads have been
found and returns.
The problem is that the callback considers any thread that it hasn't
attached to yet as new. This causes problems if the process has one or
more zombie threads, because GDB can't attach to it and the loop will
always "find" a new thread (the zombie one), and get stuck in an
infinite loop.
This is easy to trigger (at least on aarch64-linux and powerpc64le-linux)
with the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp testcase, because
its test program constantly creates and finishes joinable threads so the
chance of having zombie threads is high.
This problem causes the following failures:
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: attach (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: no new threads (timeout)

FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: delete all breakpoints, watchpoints, tracepoints, and catchpoints in delete_breakpoints (timeout)
ERROR: breakpoints not deleted
The iteration number is random, and all tests in the subsequent iterations
fail too, because GDB is stuck in the attach command at the beginning of
the iteration.
The solution is to make linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads () remember when it
has already processed a given LWP and skip it in the subsequent iterations.

The new function will be used in a subsequent patch to read a different
stat field.
The new code is believed to be equivalent to the old code, so there
should be no change in GDB behaviour. The only material change was to
use std::string and string_printf rather than a fixed char array to
build the path to the stat file.
Also, take the opportunity to move the function's documentation comment to
the header file, to conform with GDB practice.

The code and comment reference stat fields by made-up indexes. The
procfs(5) man page, which describes the /proc/PID/stat file, has a numbered
list of these fields so it's more convenient to use those numbers instead.
This is currently an implementation detail inside the function so it's
not really relevant with the code as-is, but a future patch will do some
refactoring which will make the index more prominent.
Therefore, make this change in a separate patch so that it's simpler to
review.

On Cygwin, with "attach PID":
- GDB first tries to interpret PID as a Windows native PID, and tries
to attach to that.
- if the attach fails, GDB then tries to interpret the PID as a
Cygwin PID, and attach to that.
If converting the user-provided PID from a Cygwin PID to a Windows PID
fails, you get this:
(gdb) attach 12345
Can't attach to process 0 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.)
Note "process 0".
With the fix in this commit, we'll now get:
(gdb) attach 12345
Can't attach to process 12345 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.)
I noticed this while looking at gdb.log after running
gdb.base/attach.exp on Cygwin.

In the following commits I intend to improve GDB's filename
completion. However, how filenames should be completed is a little
complex because GDB is not consistent with how it expects filename
arguments to be formatted.
This commit documents the current state of GDB when it comes to
formatting filename arguments.
Currently GDB will not correctly complete filenames inline with this
documentation; GDB will either fail to complete, or complete
incorrectly (i.e. the result of completion will not then be accepted
by GDB). However, later commits in this series will fix completion.

commit 3623271997a5c0d79609aa6a1f35ef61b4469054

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.

The abort happens because a c++ exception escapes to c code, specifically
opncls_bstat in bfd/opncls.c. Compiling with -fexceptions works around this.
Fix this by catching the exception just before it escapes, in stat_trampoline
and likewise in few similar spot.
Add a new template catch_exceptions to do so in a consistent way.
Tested on aarch64-linux.

Working backwards in terms of motivation for the patch:
- When accessing memory via the xfer_partial interface, the process
that we're accessing is indicated by inferior_ptid. This can be
either the same process as current inferior, or a fork child which
does not exist in the inferior list. This is not documented
currently. This commit fixes that.
- For target delegation to work, we must always make the inferior we
want to call the target method on, the current inferior. This
wasn't documented, AFAICT, so this commit fixes that too. I put
that in the intro comment to target_ops.
- I actually started writing a larger intro comment to target_ops, as
there was seemingly none, which I did find odd. However, I then
noticed the description closer to the top of the file. I missed it
the first time, because for some reason, that intro comment is no
longer at the top of the file, as #includes etc. have been added
above it over the years. This commit fixes that too, by moving that
intro comment to the top.

Old RHEL systems have a kernel that does not support writing memory
via /proc/pid/mem. On such systems, we fallback to accessing memory
via ptrace. That has a few downsides described in the "Accessing
inferior memory" section at the top of linux-nat.c.
The target_xfer interface for memory access uses inferior_ptid as
sideband argument to indicate which process to access. Memory access
is process-wide, it is not thread-specific, so inferior_ptid is
sometimes pointed at a process-wide ptid_t for the memory access
(i.e., a ptid that looks like {pid, 0, 0}). That is the case for any
code that uses scoped_restore_current_inferior_for_memory, for
example.
That is what causes the issue described in PR 31579, where thread_db
calls into the debugger to read memory, which reaches our
ps_xfer_memory function, which does:
static ps_err_e
ps_xfer_memory (const struct ps_prochandle *ph, psaddr_t addr,
gdb_byte *buf, size_t len, int write)
{
scoped_restore_current_inferior_for_memory save_inferior (ph->thread->inf);
...
ret = target_read_memory (core_addr, buf, len);
...
}
If linux_nat_target::xfer_partial falls back to inf_ptrace_target with
a pid-ptid, then the ptrace code will do the ptrace call targeting
pid, the leader LWP. That may fail with ESRCH if the leader is
currently running, or zombie. That is the case in the scenario in
question, because thread_db is consulted for an event of a non-leader
thread, before we've stopped the whole process.
Fix this by having the ptrace fallback code try to find a stopped LWP
to use with ptrace.
I chose to handle this in the linux-nat target instead of in common
code because (global) memory is a process-wide property, and this
avoids having to teach all the code paths that use
scoped_restore_current_inferior_for_memory to find some stopped thread
to access memory through, which is a ptrace quirk. That is
effectively what we used to do before we started relying on writable
/proc/pid/mem. I'd rather not go back there.
To trigger this on modern kernels you have to hack linux-nat.c to
force the ptrace fallback code, like so:
--- a/gdb/linux-nat.c
+++ b/gdb/linux-nat.c
@@ -3921,7 +3921,7 @@ linux_nat_target::xfer_partial (enum target_object object,
poke would incorrectly write memory to the post-exec address
space, while the core was trying to write to the pre-exec
address space. */
- if (proc_mem_file_is_writable ())
+ if (0 && proc_mem_file_is_writable ())
With that hack, I was able to confirm that the fix fixes hundreds of
testsuite failures. Compared to a test run with pristine master, the
hack above + this commit's fix shows that some non-stop-related tests
fail, but that is expected, because those are tests that need to
access memory while the program is running. (I made no effort to
temporarily pause an lwp if no ptrace-stopped lwp is found.)

When testing with the native-extended-gdbserver board,
gdb.base/attach.exp shows a couple failures, like so:

Don't know how to attach. Try "help target".

There is a check for [isnative] to skip the test on anything but
target native, but that is the wrong check. native-extended-gdbserver
is "isnative". Fix it by using a gdb_protocol check instead.

This is similar to the previous patch, but for gdb_protocol_is_remote.
gdb_is_target_remote and its MI cousin mi_is_target_remote, use "maint
print target-stack", which is unnecessary when checking whether
gdb_protocol is "remote" or "extended-remote" would do. Checking
gdb_protocol is more efficient, and can be done before starting GDB
and running to main, unlike gdb_is_target_remote/mi_is_target_remote.
This adds a new gdb_protocol_is_remote procedure, and uses it in place
of gdb_is_target_remote/mi_is_target_remote throughout.
There are no uses of gdb_is_target_remote/mi_is_target_remote left
after this. Those will be eliminated in a following patch.
In some spots, we no longer need to defer the check until after
starting GDB, so the patch adjusts accordingly.

gdb_is_target_native uses "maint print target-stack", which is
unnecessary when checking whether gdb_protocol is empty would do.

This adds a new gdb_protocol_is_native procedure, and uses it in place

At first, I thought that we'd end up with a few testcases needing to
use gdb_is_target_native still, especially multi-target tests that
connect to targets different from the default board target, but no,
actually all uses of gdb_is_target_native could be converted.
gdb_is_target_native will be eliminated in a following patch.

handle_v_attach calls attach_inferior, which says:
"return -1 if attaching is unsupported, 0 if it succeeded, and call
error() otherwise."
So if attach_inferior return != 0, we have the unsupported case,
meaning we should return the empty packet instead of an error.
In practice, this shouldn't trigger, as vAttach support is supposed to
be reported via qSupported. But it doesn't hurt to be pedantic here.

This fixes the same issue as the previous patch, but for "attach"
instead of "run".
If attaching to a process with "attach" (vAttach packet) fails,
GDBserver throws an error that escapes all the way to the top level.
When an error escapes all the way like that, GDBserver interprets it
as a disconnection, and either goes back to waiting for a new GDB
connection, or exits, if --once was specified.
Here's an example:
On the GDB side:
...
(gdb) tar extended-remote :9999
...
Remote debugging using :9999
(gdb) attach 1
Attaching to process 1
Attaching to process 1 failed
(gdb)
On the GDBserver side:
$ gdbserver --once --multi :9999
Listening on port 9999
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1, port 37464
gdbserver: Cannot attach to process 1: Operation not permitted (1)
$ # gdbserver exited
This is wrong, as we've connected with extended-remote/--multi.
GDBserver should just report an error to vAttach, and continue
connected to GDB, waiting for other commands.
This commit fixes GDBserver by catching the error locally in
handle_v_attach.
Note we now let pid == 0 pass down to attach_inferior. That is so we
get a useful textual error message to report to GDB.
This fixes a couple KFAILs in gdb.base/attach.exp. Still, I thought
it would be useful to add a new testcase specifically for this
scenario, in case gdb.base/attach.exp is ever split and stops trying
to attach again after a failed attach, with the same GDB session.

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.

On Cygwin, gdb.base/attach.exp exposes that an "attach" after a
previously failed "attach" hangs:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/attach.exp: do_attach_failure_tests: attach to digits-starting nonsense is prohibited
attach 0
Can't attach to process 0 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.)
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/attach.exp: do_attach_failure_tests: attach to nonexistent process is prohibited
attach 10644
FAIL: gdb.base/attach.exp: do_attach_failure_tests: first attach (timeout)
The problem is that windows_nat_target::attach always returns success
even if the attach fails. When we return success, the helper thread
begins waiting for events (which will never come), and thus the next
attach deadlocks on the do_synchronously call within
windows_nat_target::attach.
"run" has the same problem, which is exposed by the new
gdb.base/run-fail-twice.exp testcase added in a following patch:
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox
Error creating process .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox, (error 6: The handle is invalid.)
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/run-fail-twice.exp: test: bad run 1
run
Starting program: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox
FAIL: gdb.base/run-fail-twice.exp: test: bad run 2 (timeout)
The problem here is the same, except that this time it is
windows_nat_target::create_inferior that returns the incorrect result.
This commit fixes both the "attach" and "run" paths, and the latter
both the Cygwin and MinGW paths. The tests mentioned above now pass
on Cygwin. Confirmed the fixes manually for MinGW GDB.

For many years, GDB has accepted a "E.MESSAGE" error reponse, in
addition to "E NN". For many packets, GDB strips the "E." before
giving the error message to the user. For others, GDB does not strip
the "E.", but still understands that it is an error, as it starts with
"E", and either prints the whole string, or ignores it and just
mentions an error occured (same as for "E NN").
This has been the case for as long as I remember. Now that I check, I
see that it's been there since 2006 (commit a76d924dffcb, also here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2006-September/047286.html).
All along, I actually thought it was documented. Turns out it wasn't.
This commit documents it, in the new "Standard Replies" section, near
where we document "E NN".
The original version of this 3-patch documentation series was a single
CodeSourcery patch that documented the textual error as
"E.NAME.MESSAGE", with MESSAGE being 8-bit binary encoded. But I
think the ship has sailed for that. GDBserver has been sending error
messages with more than one "." for a long while, and with no binary
encoding. Still, I've preserved the "Co-Authored-By" list of the
original larger patch.
The 'qRcmd' and 'm' commands are exceptions and do not accept this
reply format. The top of the "Standard Replies" section already says:
"All commands support these, except as noted in the individual
command descriptions."
So this adds a note to the description of 'qRcmd' and 'm', explicitly
stating that they do not support this error reply format.

Currently, for each packet, we document the "E NN" response (error),
and the empty response (unsupported). This patch centralizes that in
a new "Standard Replies" section.
In the "Packets", "General Query Packets", "Tracepoint Packets"
sections, Remove explicit mention of empty and error replies, except
when they provide detail not covered in Standard Replies.
Note this hunk:
-@item E @var{NN}
-@var{NN} is errno
and this one:
-@item E00
-The request was malformed, or @var{annex} was invalid.
-
-@item E @var{nn}
-The offset was invalid, or there was an error encountered reading the data.
-The @var{nn} part is a hex-encoded @code{errno} value.
were really documenting things that don't really work that way.
The first is the documentation of the "m" packet. GDB does _not_
interpret the NN as an errno. It can't, in fact, because the
remote/target errno numbers have nothing to do with GDB/host errno
numbers in a cross debugging scenario.
The second hunk above is from the documentation of qXfer. Again, GDB
does not give any interpretation to the NN error code at all. Nor
does GDBserver. And again, an errno number can't be interpreted in a
cross debugging scenario.

This commit adds a SECURITY document to GDB. The idea behind this
document is to define what security expectations a user can reasonably
have when using GDB. In addition the document specifies which bugs
GDB developers consider a security bug, and which are just "normal"
bugs.
Discussion for the creation of this initial version can be found here:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/877cmvui64.fsf@redhat.com/
Like any part of GDB, this is not intended as the absolute final
version, instead this is a living document, and this is just a
reasonable starting point from which we can iterate.
For now I've added this document as a text file but I am considering
merging this document into the manual at a later date, and having the
SECURITY.txt file just say "Read the manual"

This patch fixes a pretty funny issue on sh targets that occurred
because $pc (and similar registers) were typed as int. When $pc is in
the upper half of the address space (i.e. kernel code on sh), `x/i $pc'
would resolve to a negative value. At least in the case of a remote
target with an Xfer memory map, this leads to a spurious "cannot access
memory" error as negative addresses are out of bounds.
(gdb) x/i $pc
0x8c202c04: Cannot access memory at address 0x8c202c04
(gdb) x/i 0x8c202c04
=> 0x8c202c04 <gintctl_gint_gdb+304>: mov.l @r1,r10
The issue is fixed by specifying pointer types for pc and other pointer
registers. Code pointer registers on sh include pc, pr (return address
of a call), vbr (interrupt handler) and spc (return address after
interrupt). Data pointers include r15 (stack pointer) and gbr (base
register for a few specific addressing modes).

coff_section_data() and elf_section_data() use the same underlying
field. The pointer being non-NULL therefore isn't sufficient to know
that pei_section_data() can validly be used on the incoming object.
Apparently in 64-bit-host builds the resulting memory corruption is
benign, whereas in 32-bit-host builds a segmentation fault occurs upon
de-referencing pei_section_data()'s return value.
