Debugging on Solaris is broken, with the procfs target backend failing
with:
procfs: couldn't find pid 0 in procinfo list.
as soon as you start a program.
The problem is procfs_target::wait assuming that inferior_ptid is
meaningful on entry, but, since the multi-target series, inferior_ptid
is null_ptid before we call target_wait, in infrun.c:
static ptid_t
do_target_wait_1 (inferior *inf, ptid_t ptid,
target_waitstatus *status, int options)
{
...
/* We know that we are looking for an event in the target of inferior
INF, but we don't know which thread the event might come from. As
such we want to make sure that INFERIOR_PTID is reset so that none of
the wait code relies on it - doing so is always a mistake. */
switch_to_inferior_no_thread (inf);
This patch tweaks the backend to remove the assumption that
inferior_ptid points at something. sol-thread.c (the thread_stratum
that sits on top of procfs.c) also has the same issue.
Some spots in procfs_target::wait were returning
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS+inferior_ptid. This commit replaces those
with waiting again without returning to the core. This fixes the
relying on inferior_ptid, and also should fix the issue discussed
here:

We do know some conflicts among different privileged specs. For linker,
the safest approach is that don't allow the object linked with others which
may cause conflicts. But this may cause inconvenience since not all objects
with conflicting priv specs are linked will cause problems. But it is hard
to know the detailed conflict cases for linker, so we probably need a option
to tell linker that we do know there are no conflicts, or we are willing to
take risks to link the objects with conflicted priv specs. But the option
is still under discussion.
Therefore, we can report warnings rather than errors when linking the objects
with conflicted priv specs. This not only makes the linker more flexible,
but also warns people that the conflicts may happen. We also need to update
the output priv spec version once the input priv spec is newer.

There is no guarantee that the priv attributes should be defined in order.

While reading through procfs.c, I noticed a couple of cleanup
opportunities:
* Some comments and code allowed for portability across different
targets. Since procfs.c is Solaris-only for some time now, those can
go.
* Likewise, there were some references to the old ioctl-based /proc left.
* The code still allowed for SYS_exec. However, it is no longer present
in either Solaris 11.3, 11.4, or Illumos. Checking the OpenSolaris
sources, I found that it had already been removed in 2010 well before
the Solaris 11 release.
* Some blocks of #if 0 code can go:
** References to struct procinfo.{g,fp}regs_dirty which are no longer
defined.
** Code handling the PR_ASLWP flag where <sys/procfs.h> has
#define PR_ASLWP 0x00000040 /* obsolete flag; never set */

Since the multi-target patch, the run command fails on Solaris with an

Looking closer, I found that in add_thread_silent as called from
procfs.c (procfs_target::create_inferior) find_inferior_ptid returns
NULL. The all_inferiors (targ) iterator comes up empty.
Going from there, I see that in add_thread_silent
m_target_stack = {m_top = file_stratum, m_stack = {0x20190e0
<the_dummy_target>, 0x200b8c0 <exec_ops>, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}}}
i.e. the_procfs_target is missing compared to the_amd64_linux_nat_target
on Linux/x86_64.
Moving the push_target call earlier allows debugging to get over the
initial assertion failure. I run instead into
procfs: couldn't find pid 0 in procinfo list.

Following the implementation of exec-file-mismatch based on build-id,
an attach to a process that runs a modified exec-file was triggering
the exec-file-mismatch handling, giving a warning such as:
warning: Mismatch between current exec-file /bd/home/philippe/gdb/git/build_termours/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/attach/attach
and automatically determined exec-file /bd/home/philippe/gdb/git/build_termours/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/attach/attach
exec-file-mismatch handling is currently "ask"
as the build-ids differ when an exec-file is recompiled.
This patch ensures that the exec-file-mismatch check is done with an up to date
build-id. With this, exec-file-mismatch check will only trigger when the
PID file really differs from the (build-id refreshed) current exec-file.
Note that the additional check does not (yet) reload the symbols if
the exec-file is changed: this reload will happen later if needed.

ERROR should really be reserved for errors in the testsuite framework,
not just normal errors from the tools under test. Removing use of
perror has been suggested before but without action, over concerns
that some test failures might be missed. This patch removes uses of
perror in ld_assemble, ld_compile and ld_nm, and updates numerous
places that ignored the result of these functions by inappropriately
returning an "unresolved" test status. Net result over my large set
of targets look good, in some cases improving the diagnostics, eg:
i386-msdos -ERROR: tmpdir/script: nm failed
i386-msdos -ERROR: tmpdir/script: nm failed

The file lib/future.exp contains an override of dejagnu's
default_target_compile.
The override is activated if dejagnu's default_target_compile is missing
support for one or more languages.
However, if the override is activated, it's active for all languages.
This unnecessarily extends the scope of potential problems in the override to
languages that don't need the override.
Fix this by limiting the scope of the override.
Also add a note stating for which languages the override is active, as a
reminder that support for those languages needs to be ported to dejagnu. With
my system dejagnu 1.6.1, as well as with current dejagnu trunk, that gives us:
...
NOTE: Dejagnu's default_target_compile is missing support for Go, using \
local override
NOTE: Dejagnu's default_target_compile is missing support for Rust, using \

I have been looking at a Fedora bug report[1] from a user who was
receiving warning messages from the BFD library about incompatible
plugins. It turns out that they had both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
of the same plugin installed, and the BFD library was attempting to
load all of them.
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed to me that the simplest
solution was to not warn about incompatible plugins whilst attempting
to create a list of viable plugins.

In PR 25412, Simon noticed that after the multi-target series, the
tid-reuse.exp testcase manages to create a duplicate thread in the
thread list. Or rather, two threads with the same PTID.
add_thread_silent has code in place to detect the case of a new thread
reusing some older thread's ptid, but it doesn't work correctly
anymore when the old thread is NOT the current thread and it has a
refcount higher than 0. Either condition prevents a thread from being
deleted, but the refcount case wasn't being considered. I think the
reason that case wasn't considered is that that code predates
thread_info refcounting. Back when it was originally written,
delete_thread always deleted the thread.
That add_thread_silent code in question has some now-unnecessary
warts, BTW. For instance, this:
/* Make switch_to_thread not read from the thread. */
new_thr->state = THREAD_EXITED;
... used to be required because switch_to_thread would update
'stop_pc' otherwise. I.e., it would read registers from an exited
thread otherwise. switch_to_thread no longer reads the stop_pc, since:
commit f2ffa92bbce9dd5fbedc138ac2a3bc8a88327d09

gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global
Also, if the ptid of the now-gone current thread is reused, we
currently return from add_thread_silent with the current thread
pointing at the _new_ thread. Either pointing at the old thread, or
at no thread selected would be reasonable. But pointing at an
unrelated thread (the new thread that happens to reuse the ptid) is
just broken. Seems like I was the one who wrote it like that but I
have no clue why, FWIW.
Currently, an exited thread kept in the thread list still holds its
original ptid. The idea was that we need the ptid to be able to
temporarily switch to another thread and then switch back to the
original thread, because thread switching is really inferior_ptid
switching. Switching back to the original thread requires a ptid
lookup.
Now, in order to avoid exited threads with the same ptid as a live
thread in the same thread list, one thing I considered (and tried) was
to change an exited thread's ptid to minus_one_ptid. However, with
that, there's a case that we won't handle well, which is if we end up
with more than one exited thread in the list, since then all exited
threads will all have the same ptid. Since inferior_thread() relies
on inferior_ptid, may well return the wrong thread.
My next attempt to address this, was to switch an exited thread's ptid
to a globally unique "exited" ptid, which is a ptid with pid == -1 and
tid == 'the thread's global GDB thread number'. Note that GDB assumes
that the GDB global thread number is monotonically increasing and
doesn't wrap around. (We should probably make GDB thread numbers
64-bit to prevent that happening in practice; they're currently signed
32-bit.) This attempt went a long way, but still ran into a number of
issues. It was a major hack too, obviously.
My next attempt is the one that I'm proposing, which is to bite the
bullet and break the connection between inferior_ptid and
inferior_thread(), aka the current thread. I.e., make the current
thread be a global thread_info pointer that is written to directly by
switch_to_thread, etc., and making inferior_thread() return that
pointer, instead of having inferior_thread() lookup up the
inferior_ptid thread, by ptid_t. You can look at this as a
continuation of the effort of using more thread_info pointers instead
of ptids when possible.
By making the current thread a global thread_info pointer, we can make
switch_to_thread simply write to the global thread pointer, which
makes scoped_restore_current_thread able to restore back to an exited
thread without relying on unrelyable ptid look ups. I.e., this makes
it not a real problem to have more than one thread with the same ptid
in the thread list. There will always be only one live thread with a
given ptid, so code that looks up a live thread by ptid will always be
able to find the right one.
This change required auditing the whole codebase for places where we
were writing to inferior_ptid directly to change the current thread,
and change them to use switch_to_thread instead or one of its
siblings, because otherwise inferior_thread() would return a thread
unrelated to the changed-to inferior_ptid. That was all (hopefully)
done in previous patches.
After this, inferior_ptid is mainly used by target backend code. It
is also relied on by a number of target methods. E.g., the
target_resume interface and the memory reading routines -- we still
need it there because we need to be able to access memory off of

Writing to inferior_ptid in
windows_nat_target::get_windows_debug_event is just incorrect and not
necessary. We'll report the event to GDB's core, which then takes
care of switching inferior_ptid / current thread.
Related (see windows_nat_target::get_windows_debug_event), there's
also a "current_windows_thread" global that is just begging to get out
of sync with core GDB's current thread. This patch removes it.
gdbserver already does not have an equivalent global in win32-low.cc.

The inferior_ptid hack in do_initial_win32_stuff, added back in 2008:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-10/msg00012.html
with:
commit 9f9d052e600ed9436f9fd558d62a189c8cc3d43e
Author: Pierre Muller <muller@sourceware.org>
AuthorDate: Thu Oct 2 14:20:07 2008 +0000
* win32-nat.c (do_initial_win32_stuff): Set inferior_ptid.
is no longer needed. Back then, current_inferior looked like this:
struct inferior*
current_inferior (void)
{
struct inferior *inf = find_inferior_pid (ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid));
gdb_assert (inf);
return inf;
}
Nowadays, current_inferior() just returns the global current_inferior_
pointer, which didn't exist back then.

The inferior_ptid write in procfs_do_thread_registers should be

Use switch_to_thread instead of writing to inferior_ptid. This
requires a couple of improvements to the mocking environment. One is
to mock a pspace too, and assigning it to the inferior. In turn, this
requires heap-allocating the address space, so that the regular
program_space dtor destroys the address space correctly.
(Note that new the mock program_space is allocated on the stack, and
thus depends on the previous patch that eliminated
delete_program_space.)

An early (and since discarded) version of this series tried to make
exited threads have distinct PTID between each other, and that change
exposed a problem in linux-tdep.c... This was exposed by the
gdb.threads/gcore-stale-thread.exp testcase, which is exactly about
calling gcore with an exited thread selected:
(gdb) [Thread 0x7ffff7fb6740 (LWP 31523) exited]
PASS: gdb.threads/gcore-stale-thread.exp: continue to breakpoint: break-here
gcore /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/gcore-stale-thread/gcore-stale-thread.core
/home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb/inferior.c:66: internal-error: void set_current_inferior(inferior*): Assertion `inf != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
That was find_inferior_ptid being called on the "exited" ptid, which
on that previous (and discarded attempt) had pid==-1. The problem is
that linux-tdep.c, where it looks for the signalled thread, isn't
considering exited threads. Also, while at it, that code isn't
considering multi-target either, since it is using
iterate_over_threads which iterates over all threads of all targets.
Fixed by switching to range-for iteration instead.

If a baseboard file wants to override a proc foo, but also use the original
proc, it'll have to do something like:
...
rename foo save_foo
proc foo { } {
...
set res [save_foo]
...
return res
}
...
This adds a new proc named save_foo, which introduces the risk of clashing with
an existing proc.
There's a pattern in the gdb testsuite procs, that facilitates this override:
...
proc default_foo { } {
...
}
proc foo { } {
return [default_foo]
}
...
such that in a baseboard file we don't need the rename:
...
proc foo { } {
...
set res [default_foo]
...
return res
}
...
The exception to the pattern though is gdb_init, which has a default_gdb_init
counterpart, but contains much more code than just the call to
default_gdb_init.
Fix this by moving all but the call to default_gdb_init to default_gdb_init.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_init): Move all but call to default_gdb_init to ...
