2025-08-27gdb/testsuite: use libtool to launch selftestsSimon Marchi1-17/+87
When building GDB on Cygwin, gdb/gdb.exe is a libtool wrapper (which happens to be a PE executable). The real executable is at gdb/.libs/gdb.exe. The "does gdb have debug info test" that _selftest_setup does is bogus, because it loads the libtool wrapper (which doesn't have debug info), doesn't see any debug info, and thus the test is skipped. The "correct" way to deal with libtool wrappers is to run the shell command you want to run under `libtool --mode=execute`. That will replace any path resembling to a libtool wrapper with the real executable path. But it will also add to the environment the library paths necessary for this executable to find the libraries it needs. Therefore, modify the `do_self_tests` proc to: - run the top-level GDB commands under `libtool --mode=execute` - pass the path to the inferior GDB on the command-line of the top-level, so that it gets replaced with the real executable's path However, the "file" command was previously used to detect the presence of debug info in the GDB executable. It's not easy to implement this check when loading the executable directly on the command line. So, add a separate proc, _selftest_check_executable_debug_info, that spawns a temporary GDB and does the debug info check through the file command. This proc uses libtool to obtain the path to the real executable. When building, we use the bundled libtool.m4 at the top of the tree. This means that the libtool system package, and therefore the libtool binary, might not be available. Check for the presence of the libtool binary first, and only do the conversion if it is found. If it is not found, the test should still work on platforms that don't require the conversion. With this commit, the test runs on Cygwin, even though there are failures later.

2025-08-27gdb/testsuite: do not copy gdb executable in self testsSimon Marchi1-21/+2
In the ROCm-GDB testing process, we hit a problem that is a combination of these 3 factors: 1. In the downstream ROCm-GDB packages, the gdb executable is built with a relative RUNPATH: 0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH) Library runpath: [${ORIGIN}/../lib] This is done so that the installation is relocatable (the whole ROCm directory can be copied around) and things still work. For instance, the rocgdb executable needs to be able to find the libraries it needs, such as `librocm-dbgapi.so.0`. The relative runpath allows that. 2. For testing, we run the testsuite against the gdb executable installed from one of those packages. It is possible to ./configure the testsuite directory on its own, and then do: $ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="GDB=/opt/rocm/bin/rocgdb" 3. The selftests (such as gdb.gdb/selftest.exp) copy the GDB under test to the standard output directory, before trying to debug it. The problem is that the gdb executable under test that has been copied can't find the libraries it needs. With this patch, I propose that we don't copy the gdb executable, but debug it in place instead. The comment removed in this patch says "in case this OS doesn't like to edit its own text space", and has been there since forever in some form. But it's not clear if there is a host OS (where we intend to run this test) that needs this nowadays. I would bet that there isn't. If there is in fact a GDB host OS (where we intend to run this test) that needs it, we can reinstate the copying, but as an opt-in operation. Another situation where this change helps is on Windows, where gdb/gdb.exe is a libtool wrapper (the real executable is at gdb/.libs/gdb.exe). Copying gdb/gdb.exe doesn't accomplish anything useful. The next patch does further changes to account for the libtool wrapper case. I tested on Linux and Cygwin, more testing would be welcome.

This bogus error comes up when trying something like objcopy -O binary .../binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/tek2.obj xxx This is an annoying message, as HJ said in https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2002-August/021354.html and removed it for some cases, eg. I can make it go away by specifying -I tekhex. The message is also untrue, as objcopy does in fact know the format of the input file. I think the message should be limited to ELF input files that are being handled by the elf64-little, elf64-big, elf32-little or elf32-big targets, due to libbfd being compiled with limited target support. I'm also changing the message a litle. * objcopy.c (copy_object): Change "Unable to recognise format" message to "Unable to recognise architecture" and only report this error for ELF objects lacking their proper target support. * testsuite/binutils-all/x86-64/x86-64.exp: Update to suit.

2025-08-27gdb/testsuite: work around empty substring bug in expectAndrew Burgess1-11/+25
There is a bug in expect, see: https://sourceforge.net/p/expect/patches/26/ which causes empty substring matches from a regexp to instead return the complete input buffer. To reproduce this bug, try this command: expect -c 'spawn sh -c "echo -n -e \"abc\""; \ expect -re "(a?)(a)(bc)"; \ puts "\n"; \ for { set i 1 } { $i < 4 } { incr i } { \ puts -nonewline "($i): \""; \ puts -nonewline $expect_out($i,string); \ puts "\"" \ }' For a working expect the output looks like: spawn sh -c echo -n -e "abc" abc (1): "" (2): "a" (3): "bc" But for a broken expect the output looks like: spawn sh -c echo -n -e "abc" abc (1): "abc" (2): "a" (3): "bc" Notice that (1) is now returning the complete input buffer rather than the empty string, this is wrong. This is not the first time this bug has impacted GDB's testsuite, this commit seems to be working around the same problem: commit e579b537353cd91cb8fac1eaeb69901d4936766f Date: Sat Aug 16 20:32:37 2025 +0200 [gdb/testsuite] Fix TUI tests on freebsd I recently pushed this commit: commit 3825c972a636852600b47c242826313f4b9963b8 Date: Wed Jun 18 15:02:29 2025 +0100 gdb: allow gdb.Color to work correctly with pagination Which added gdb.python/py-color-pagination.exp.

2025-08-26gdb: use existing argument more in rename_vmcore_idle_reg_sectionsAndrew Burgess1-5/+8
In corelow.c, in the function rename_vmcore_idle_reg_sections, the argument ABFD holds the core file bfd pointer. When this function is called current_program_space->core_bfd() is passed as the argument value. Within this function, we sometimes use the function argument, and sometimes access current_program_space->core_bfd() directly. This is confusing, and unnecessary. Lets not do that. I've renamed the argument to cbfd (for Core file BFD), and then updated the function to make use of this argument throughout.

However, in linux_read_core_file_mappings, in some places we use the CBFD argument, and in other places we directly use current_program_space->core_bfd(). This is confusing, and unnecessary.

2025-08-26[gdb/tdep] Add XOP support in amd64_get_insn_detailsTom de Vries1-2/+30
Implement support for XOP instructions [1] in amd64_get_insn_details. The encoding scheme is documented here [2]. Essentially it's a variant of the VEX3 encoding scheme, with: - 0x8f as the first byte instead of 0xc4, and - an opcode map >= 8. The changes are roughly the same as the XOP part of an earlier submission [3], hence the tag. The only real difference is that that patch proposed to implement xop_prefix_p using: ... return pfx[0] == 0x8f && (pfx[1] & 0x38); ... which tries to resolve the conflict between the XOP prefix (starts with 0x8f) and the POP instruction (opcode 0x8f) by detecting that it's not a POP instruction. Instead, use the way AMD has resolved this conflict in the specification, by checking for opcode map >= 8: ... gdb_byte m = pfx[1] & 0x1f; return pfx[0] == 0x8f && m >= 8; ... Tested on x86_64-linux.

2025-08-26gdb/python: fix an unlikely memory leakAndrew Burgess1-16/+11
I noticed a possible memory leak in gdbpy_create_ptid_object, in py-infthread.c. We create a Tuple, and hold the reference in a 'PyObject*' local. If we then fail to create any of the tuple contents we perform an early exit, returning nullptr, this will leak the Tuple object. Currently, we create the Tuple as the first action in the function, but we don't really need the tuple until the end of the function. In this commit I have: 1. Moved creation of the Tuple until the end of the function, just before we need it. 2. Stored the Tuple reference in a gdbpy_ref<>. This is not strictly needed any more, but is (I think) good practice as future changes to the function will not need to worry about releasing the Tuple object. 3. Taken the opportunity to replace a NULL with nullptr in this function. 4. Inlined the local variable declarations to the point of first use. There should be no user visible changes after this commit. No tests as I have no idea how to make gdb_py_object_from_longest (and friends) fail, and so trigger the memory leak. I suspect we'd never actually see this leak in the real world, but it doesn't hurt to clean these things up. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>

After that, it will enter process_event_stop_test (), some conditions are judged in this function. if ((get_stack_frame_id (frame) != ecs->event_thread->control.step_stack_frame_id) && get_frame_type (frame) != SIGTRAMP_FRAME && ((frame_unwind_caller_id (frame) == ecs->event_thread->control.step_stack_frame_id) && ((ecs->event_thread->control.step_stack_frame_id != outer_frame_id) || (ecs->event_thread->control.step_start_function != find_pc_function (ecs->event_thread->stop_pc ()))))) { ... if (ecs->event_thread->control.step_over_calls == STEP_OVER_ALL) ... else insert_step_resume_breakpoint_at_caller (frame); } Here, it will be judged whether a sub-function has been called based on whether the frame id before the single step is not equal to the current frame id and whether there is a calling relationship. If a sub-function is called at this time and the current operation is nexti, it will not stop immediately. Instead, insert_step_resume_breakpoint_at_caller() will be called to complete the execution of the sub-function and then stop. In above debugging examples, the executable program being debugged is compiled from an asm source file that does not contain dwarf information. Therefore, the frame id of the function is calculated by loongarch_frame_unwind rather than dwarf2_frame_unwind. However, loongarch_scan_prologue() has not yet recorded stack information in loongarch_frame_cache, this will cause problems in some operations related to the frame id information. (3) Solution: Improve loongarch_scan_prologue() to record the stack information in loongarch_frame_cache. And improve the loongarch_frame_unwind_stop_reason() through the information recorded in loongarch_frame_cache.

2025-08-26amd64-tdep: need_modrm = 1 for VEX/EVEX instructions, except vzeroall/vzeroupperKlaus Gerlicher1-6/+32
VEX and EVEX-encoded instructions generally require a ModR/M byte, with the notable exception of vzeroall and vzeroupper (opcode 0x77), which do not use ModR/M. This change sets need_modrm = 1 for VEX instructions, and adds an exception for instructions where *insn == 0x77, following Intel’s SDM. EVEX has no exceptions and thus always sets need_modrm to 1. Additionally, the legacy twobyte_has_modrm table cannot be used for VEX and EVEX instructions, as these encodings have different requirements and exceptions. The logic is now explicit for VEX/EVEX handling. Add vpblendw to selftest amd64_insn_decode. The Intel SDM says the following: 1. Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual Section 2.2.1.2 — Instruction Prefixes "The VEX prefix is a multi-byte prefix that replaces several legacy prefixes and opcode bytes.

2025-08-26[gdb/testsuite] Fix require dwarf2_support check in some test-casesTom de Vries6-2/+10
On x86_64-freebsd, I ran into trouble with test-case gdb.dwarf2/macro-source-path-clang14-dw4.exp (and similar), and I managed to reproduce the problem on x86_64-linux by making dwarf2_support return 0. The failure looks like: ... UNSUPPORTED: $exp: require failed: dwarf2_support UNRESOLVED: $exp: testcase aborted due to invalid command name: do_test ERROR: tcl error sourcing $exp. ... I fixed a similar problem in commit 3e488d8ccd0 ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.dwarf2/dw-form-strx-out-of-bounds.exp with make-check-all.sh"). Fix this by moving "require dwarf2_support" from gdb.dwarf2/macro-source-path.exp.tcl to the files including it. Tested on x86_64-linux.

While commit 9c0adb10c7fc ("elf: Clear entsize when clearing SEC_MERGE|SEC_STRINGS") addressed the particular issue reported in PR ld/33291, it didn't go quite far enough to deal with related aspects as well: As indicated in other recent commits, the three properties can be largely independent (ELF generally being the target here): Entry size doesn't require either of merge/strings, and strings also doesn't require merge. Commit 98e6d3f5bd4e ("gas/ELF: allow specifying entity size for arbitrary sections") uncovered issues with ld's handling. Zap entry size when it doesn't match between input sections. In that case SEC_MERGE and SEC_STRINGS also need to be removed, as their underlying granularity is lost. Then deal with SEC_MERGE and SEC_STRINGS separately. Otoh record entry size from the first input independent of SEC_MERGE.

2025-08-25Fix tekhex format related gdb.base/dump.exp failuresKevin Buettner2-2/+2
On s390x, a big-endian machine, I'm seeing these test failures: FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array as memory, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array as memory, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array as value, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array as value, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array copy, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array copy, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array partial, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: array partial, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: dump array as memory, tekhex FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: dump array as value, tekhex FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: dump struct as memory, tekhex FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: dump struct as value, tekhex FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: reload array as memory, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: reload array as value, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: reload struct as memory, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: reload struct as value, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: struct as memory, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: struct as memory, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: struct as value, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: struct as value, tekhex; value restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: struct copy, tekhex; file restored ok FAIL: gdb.base/dump.exp: struct copy, tekhex; value restored ok It turns out that there's a subtle bug in move_section_contents in bfd/tekhex.c. The bug is that when attempting to write a buffer that starts with a zero byte, the function will return false, an error condition, without writing anything. But it also doesn't set bfd_error, so GDB ends up displaying whatever the last unrelated error was, e.g.: warning: writing dump file '.../intstr1.tekhex' (No such file or directory) When I investigated this, the bfd error was set during failure to open a separate debug file for the test case, which is totally unrelated to this problem. The reason this fails on big endian machines is that the test case writes out structs and arrays of int initialized to small values. On little endian machines, the small integer is the first byte, so the error doesn't occur. On big endian machines, a zero byte occurs first, triggering the error. On the GDB side of things, I've made a one line change to the test case to cause the error to also happen on little endian machines. I simply shift value of the first field in the struct left by 16 bits. That leaves at least one zero byte on both sides of the non-zero part of the int. I shifted it by 16 because, for a moment, there was a question in my mind about what would happen with a second zero byte, but it turns out that it's not a problem. On the bfd side of things, take a look at move_section_contents() and find_chunk() in tekhex.c. The scenario is this: we enter move_section_contents with locationp pointing at a character buffer whose first byte is zero. The 'get' parameter is false, i.e. we're writing, not reading. The other critical fact is that the abfd->tdata.tekhex_data->data is NULL (0). I'm going to go through the execution path pretty much line by line with commentary below the line(s) just executed. char *location = (char *) locationp; bfd_vma prev_number = 1; /* Nothing can have this as a high bit. */ I can't say that the comment provides the best explanation about what's happening, but the gist is this: later on, chunk_number will have it's low bits masked away, therefore no matter what it is, it can't possibly be equal to prev_number when it's set to 1. struct data_struct *d = NULL; BFD_ASSERT (offset == 0); for (addr = section->vma; count != 0; count--, addr++) { Set d to NULL and enter the loop. /* Get high bits of address. */ bfd_vma chunk_number = addr & ~(bfd_vma) CHUNK_MASK; bfd_vma low_bits = addr & CHUNK_MASK; Use CHUNK_MASK, which is 0x1fff, to obtain the chunk number, i.e. whatever's left after masking off the low 13 bits of addr, and low_bits, which are the low 13 bits of addr. chunk_number matters for understanding this bug, low_bits does not. Remember that no matter what addr is, once you mask off the low 13 bits, it can't be equal to 1. bool must_write = !get && *location != 0; !get is true, *location != 0 is false, therefore the conjunction is false, and furthermore must_write is false. I.e. even though we are writing, we don't transfer zero bytes to the chunk - this is why must_write is false. (The reason this works is that a chunk, once allocated, is zero'd as part of the allocation using bfd_zalloc. Therefore we can skip transferring zero bytes and, if enough of them are skipped one after another, chunk allocation simply doesn't happen. That's a good thing.) if (chunk_number != prev_number || (!d && must_write)) For the reason provided above, chunk_number != prev_number is true. The other part of the disjunction doesn't matter since the first part is true. This means that the if-block is entered. /* Different chunk, so move pointer. */ d = find_chunk (abfd, chunk_number, must_write); find_chunk is entered with must_write set to false. Now, remember where we left off here, because we're going to switch to find_chunk. static struct data_struct * find_chunk (bfd *abfd, bfd_vma vma, bool create) { (Above 3 lines indented to distinguish code from commentary.) When we enter find_chunk, create is false because must_write was false. struct data_struct *d = abfd->tdata.tekhex_data->data; d is set to NULL since abfd->tdata.texhex_data->data is NULL (one of the conditions for the scenario). vma &= ~CHUNK_MASK; while (d && (d->vma) != vma) d = d->next; d is NULL, so the while loop doesn't execute. if (!d && create) ... d is NULL so !d is true, but create is false, so the condition evaluates to false, meaning that the if-block is skipped. return d; find_chunk returns NULL, since d is NULL. Back in move_section_contents: if (!d) return false; d is NULL (because that's what find_chunk returned), so move_section_contents returns false at this point. Note that find_section_contents has allocated no memory, nor even tried to transfer any bytes beyond the first (zero) byte. This is a bug. The key to understanding this bug is to observe that find_chunk can return NULL to indicate that no chunk was found. This is especially important for the read (get=true) case. But it can also be NULL to indicate a memory allocation error. I toyed around with the idea of using a different value to distinguish these cases, i.e. something like (struct data_struct *) -1, but although bfd contains plenty of code where -1 is used to indicate various interesting conditions for scalars, there's no prior art where this is done for a pointer. Therefore the idea was discarded in favor of modifying this statement: if (!d) return false; to: if (!d && must_write) return false; This works because, in find_chunk, the only way to return a NULL memory allocation error is for must_write / create to be true. When it is true, if bfd_zalloc successfully allocates a chunk, then that (non-NULL) chunk will be returned at the end of the function. When it fails, it'll return NULL early. The point is that when bfd_zalloc() fails and returns NULL, must_write (in move_section_contents) / create (in find_chunk) HAD to be true. That provides us with an easy test back in move_section_contents to distinguish a memory-allocation-NULL from a block-not-found-NULL. The other NULL return case happens when the end of the function is reached when either searching for a chunk to read or attempting to find a chunk to write when abfd->tdata.tekhex_data->data is NULL. But for the latter case, must_write was false, which does not (now, with the above fix) trigger the early return of false. (Alan Modra approved the bfd/tekhex.c change.)

Commit 012d44268695 effectively made peXXigen.c _bfd_XXi_swap_aux_out always use the COFF E_FILNMLEN of 14.

2025-08-24gdb: allow gdb.Color to work correctly with paginationAndrew Burgess4-12/+195
This commit allows gdb.Color objects to be used to style output from GDB commands written in Python, and the styled output should work correctly with pagination. There are two parts to fixing this: First, GDB needs to be able to track the currently applied style within the page_file class. This means that style changes need to be achieved with calls to pager_file::emit_style_escape. Now usually, GDB does this by calling something like fprintf_styled, which takes care to apply the style for us. However, that's not really an option here as a gdb.Color isn't a full style, and as the gdb.Color object is designed to be converted directly into escape sequences that can then be printed, we really need a solution that works with this approach. However pager_file::puts already has code in place to handle escape sequences. Right now all this code does is spot the escape sequence and append it to the m_wrap_buffer. But in this commit I propose that we go one step further, parse the escape sequence back into a ui_file_style object in pager_file::puts, and then we can call pager_file::emit_style_escape. If the parsing doesn't work then we can just add the escape sequence to m_wrap_buffer as we did before. But wait, how can this work if a gdb.Color isn't a full style? Turns out that's not a problem. We only ever emit the escape sequence for those parts of a style that need changing, so a full style that sets the foreground color will emit the same escape sequence as a gdb.Color for the foreground. When we convert the escape sequence back into a ui_file_style, then we get a style with everything set to default, except the foreground color. I had hoped that this would be all that was needed. But unfortunately this doesn't work because of the second problem... ... the implementation of the Python function gdb.write() calls gdb_printf(), which calls gdb_vprintf(), which calls ui_file::vprintf, which calls ui_out::vmessage, which calls ui_out::call_do_message, and finally we reach cli_ui_out::do_message. This final do_message function does this: ui_file *stream = m_streams.back (); stream->emit_style_escape (style); stream->puts (str.c_str ()); stream->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ()); If we imagine the case where we are emitting a style, triggered from Python like this: gdb.write(gdb.Color('red').escape_sequence(True)) the STYLE in this case will be the default ui_file_style(), and STR will hold the escape sequence we are writing. After the first change, where pager_file::puts now calls pager_file::emit_style_escape, the current style of STREAM will have been updated. But this means that the final emit_style_escape will now restore the default style. The fix for this is to avoid using the high level gdb_printf from gdb.write(), and instead use gdb_puts instead. The gdb_puts function doesn't restore the default style, which means our style modification survives. There's a new test included. This test includes what appears like a pointless extra loop (looping over a single value), but this makes sense given the origin of this patch. I've pulled this commit from a longer series: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/cover.1755080429.git.aburgess@redhat.com I want to get this bug fix merged before GDB 17 branches, but the longer series is not getting reviews, so for now I'm just merging this one fix. Once the rest of the series gets merged, I'll be extending the test, and the loop (mentioned above) will now loop over more values.
