This commit adds fpcr_flags and dyn_rm_enum types to define the fpcr.
For details on the floating-point control register (fpcr), please see
the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual, 4th Ed. [1]; in brief, it
consists of a 64-bit bitfield with most bits reserved/unused. All but a
pair of the used bits are boolean flags; the exception, DYN_RM, is a
2-bit enum indicating the IEEE rounding mode and is defined as a
dyn_rm_enum type in the target description annex.

This commit adds target description support for Alpha.
The target description obviates the alpha_register_type and
alpha_register_name functions in alpha-tdep.c. Removal of
alpha_register_reggroup_p was considered but ultimately abandoned,
because the "info regs" command would no longer omit the zero, fpcr, and
unique registers from its output (they are neither vector nor float
types).
Register types in the target description annex match the types that the
alpha_register_type function returned.
The locally defined register_names array was moved out of
alpha_register_name and renamed to alpha_register_names as a static
global; calls to alpha_register_name have been replaced with direct
access of the array.
The patch follows the code pattern outlined in the following GDB

gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp
In commit 8e73fddeb0d ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp
on x86_64-freebsd") I added a "require {istarget *-*-linux*}", but since then
I found support_displaced_stepping, which seems more appropriate and
descriptive.
Fix this by requiring support_displaced_stepping instead.
Tested on x86_64-freebsd.

With test-case gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp on x86_64-freebsd I run into:
...
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 3, test_rip_vex2_end () at amd64-disp-step-avx.S:35
35 nop
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: vex2: continue to test_rip_vex2_end
...
This happens while executing this bit of the test-case:
...
# Turn "debug displaced" on to make sure a displaced step is actually
# executed, not an inline step.
gdb_test_no_output "set debug displaced on"
gdb_test "continue" \
"Continuing.*prepared successfully .*Breakpoint.*, ${test_end_label} ().*" \
"continue to ${test_end_label}"
...
The problem is that on x86_64, displaced stepping is only supported for linux.
Consequently, the "prepared successfully" message is missing.
Fix this by requiring linux.

A user noticed that if the remote sends terminal escape sequences from
the "monitor" command, then these will not be correctly displayed when
in TUI mode.
I tracked this down to remote.c emitting one character at a time --
something the TUI output functions did not handle correctly.
I decided in the end to fix in this in the ui-file layer, because the
same bug seems to affect logging and, as is evidenced by the test case
in this patch, Python output in TUI mode.
The idea is simple: buffer escape sequences until they are either
complete or cannot possibly be recognized by gdb.

A SFrame NULL FRE template is used as NULL value in some but not all
instances to initialize unused elements of SFrame FRE pointer arrays of
fixed size. Additionally it is erroneously used as SFrame FRE template
for PLT GOT entries.
Define a separate SFrame FRE template for PLT GOT entries with the same
properties as the SFrame NULL FRE and use that for all PLT GOT entries.
Remove the SFrame NULL FRE template, as initialization of unused array

This patch adds two additional distinct types (__float128 and the SIMD
vector type generated from the vector_size attribute) to the umbrella of
two existing types (long double and array, respectively). These types
were previously invalid, producing CTF_K_UNKNOWN in the case of
__float128 or a float in the case of the SIMD vector. This patch will
cleanly allow these types to be represented more accurately without
breaking back-compat.

libctf/
* testsuite/libctf-writable/ctf-nonroot-addition.*: New test.
|
|
The root-visible flag we're dealing with here is directly out of the dict,
not a flag passed in to the API, so it does not have the values CTF_ADD_ROOT
or CTF_ADD_NONROOT: instead it's simply zero for non-root-visible, nonzero
otherwise. Fix the test.
libctf/
* ctf-create.c (ctf_add_enumerator): Fix root-visibility test.
|
|
If you add a non-root type to a dict, you should always get a new, unique
type ID back, even if a root-visible type with the same name already exists.
Unfortunately, if the root-visible type is a forward, and you're adding a
non-root-visible struct, union, or enum, the machinery to detect forwards
and promote them to the concrete type fires in this case and returns the
root-visible type! If this is an enum being inserted hidden because its
enumerands conflict with some other enum, this will lead to failure later
on: in any case, it's seriously counterintuitive to add a non-root- visible
type and get a root-visible one instead.
Fix this by checking the root-visible flag properly and only checking for
forwards if this type is root-visible. (This may lead to a certain degree
of proliferation of non-root-visible forwards: we can add a cleanup pass for
those later if needed.)

The code is actually able to gracefully fallback if the syscall number
of riscv_hwprobe is not available at build time, but it still depended
on the <asm/hwprobe.h> header unconditionally. In certain environments
such as one of crosstool-NG's Canadian Cross build step (binutils for
host), or one with very outdated kernel headers, the header will not be
present, causing the build to fail.
While the relevant projects/environments should be fixed nevertheless,
a configure-time check for <asm/hwprobe.h> is helpful for fixing gprofng
builds with released versions of ct-ng etc.

On MSYS2, say we record a brief gdb session using TERM=dumb script:
...
$ gdb -q
(gdb) print 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) q
...
When looking at the resulting typescript, we notice something odd:
...
$ gdb -q^M
(gdb) print 1^M
$1 = 1^M^M
(gdb) q^M
...
For some reason, we have "$1 = 1\r\r\n(gdb) ".
Looking at the documentation of _setmode [1], it mentions translation mode
_O_TEXT as a mode in which "\n" is translated into "\r\n" on output.
So, it looks like this translation happens twice.
Add a command "maint set console-translation-mode <binary|text>" command that
allows us to set the translation mode of stdout/stderr to binary, such that we
get instead:
...
$ gdb -q -ex "maint set console-translation-mode binary"^M
(gdb) print 1^M
$1 = 1^M
(gdb) q^M
...
Since we run into this in the testsuite, add
"maint set console-translation-mode binary" to INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS.
Based on "maint set testsuite-mode on/off" from these patches [2][3] by Pierre
Muller.
Compared to that proposal, I dropped the name testsuite-mode, because the
behaviour is not specific to the testsuite.
Also I chose values binary/text instead of on/off because eventually there may
be other translation mode values that we need [4].

Convert solib_ops into an abstract base class (with abstract methods,
some of them with default implementations) and convert all the existing
solib_ops instances to solib_ops derived classes / implementations.
Prior to this patch, solib_ops is a structure holding function pointers,
of which there are only a handful of global instances (in the
`solib-*.c` files). When passing an `solib_ops *` around, it's a
pointer to one of these instances. After this patch, there are no more
global solib_ops instances. Instances are created as needed and stored
in struct program_space. These instances could eventually be made to
contain the program space-specific data, which is currently kept in
per-program space registries (I have some pending patches for that).
Prior to this patch, `gdbarch_so_ops` is a gdbarch method that returns a
pointer to the appropriate solib_ops implementation for the gdbarch.
This is replaced with the `gdbarch_make_solib_ops` method, which returns
a new instance of the appropriate solib_ops implementation for this
gdbarch. This requires introducing some factory functions for the
various solib_ops implementation, to be used as `gdbarch_make_solib_ops`
callbacks. For instance:
solib_ops_up
make_linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops ()
{
return std::make_unique<linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops> ();
}
The previous code is full of cases of tdep files copying some base
solib_ops implementation, and overriding one or more function pointer
(see ppc_linux_init_abi, for instance). I tried to convert all of this
is a class hierarchy. I like that it's now possible to get a good
static view of all the existing solib_ops variants. The hierarchy looks
like this:
solib_ops
├── aix_solib_ops
├── darwin_solib_ops
├── dsbt_solib_ops
├── frv_solib_ops
├── rocm_solib_ops
├── svr4_solib_ops
│ ├── ilp32_svr4_solib_ops
│ ├── lp64_svr4_solib_ops
│ ├── linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops
│ │ ├── mips_linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops
│ │ └── ppc_linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops
│ ├── linux_lp64_svr4_solib_ops
│ │ └── mips_linux_lp64_svr4_solib_ops

│ ├── mips_nbsd_lp64_svr4_solib_ops

│ └── mips_fbsd_lp64_svr4_solib_ops
└── target_solib_ops
└── windows_solib_ops
The solib-svr4 code has per-arch specialization to provide a
link_map_offsets, containing the offsets of the interesting fields in
`struct link_map` on that particular architecture. Prior to this patch,
arches would set a callback returning the appropriate link_map_offsets
by calling `set_solib_svr4_fetch_link_map_offsets`, which also happened
to set the gdbarch's so_ops to `&svr_so_ops`. I converted this to an
abstract virtual method of `struct svr4_solib_ops`, meaning that all
classes deriving from svr4_solib_ops must provide a method returning the
appropriate link_map_offsets for the architecture. I renamed
`set_solib_svr4_fetch_link_map_offsets` to `set_solib_svr4_ops`. This
function is still necessary because it also calls
set_gdbarch_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order, but if it was not for
that, we could get rid of it.
There is an instance of CRTP in mips-linux-tdep.c, because both
mips_linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops and mips_linux_lp64_svr4_solib_ops need
to derive from different SVR4 base classes (linux_ilp32_svr4_solib_ops
and linux_lp64_svr4_solib_ops), but they both want to override the
in_dynsym_resolve_code method with the same implementation.
The solib_ops::supports_namespaces method is new: the support for
namespaces was previously predicated by the presence or absence of a
find_solib_ns method. It now needs to be explicit.
There is a new progspace::release_solib_ops method, which is only needed
for rocm_solib_ops. For the moment, rocm_solib_ops replaces and wraps
the existing svr4_solib_ops instance, in order to combine the results of
the two. The plan is to have a subsequent patch to allow program spaces to have
multiple solib_ops, removing the need for release_solib_ops.
Speaking of rocm_solib_ops: it previously overrode only a few methods by
copying svr4_solib_ops and overwriting some function pointers. Now, it
needs to implement all the methods that svr4_solib_ops implements, in
order to forward the call. Otherwise, the default solib_ops method
would be called, hiding the svr4_solib_ops implementation. Again, this
can be removed once we have support for multiple solib_ops in a
program_space.
There is also a small change in how rocm_solib_ops is activated. Prior
to this patch, it's done at the end of rocm_update_solib_list. Since it
overrides the function pointer in the static svr4_solib_ops, and then
overwrites the host gdbarch, so_ops field, it's something that happens
only once. After the patch though, we need to set rocm_solib_ops in all
the program spaces that appear. We do this in
rocm_solib_target_inferior_created and in the new
rocm_solib_target_inferior_execd. After this, I will explore doing a
change where rocm_solib_ops is only set when we detect the ROCm runtime
is loaded.

The subsequent C++ification patch in this series will allocate one
instance of solib_ops per program space. That instance will be held in
struct program_space. As a small step towards this, add an `solib_ops
*` field to `struct program_space`. This field represents the solib_ops
currently used to manage the solibs in that program space. Initialize
it with the result of `gdbarch_so_ops` in `post_create_inferior`, and
use it whenever we need to do some solib stuff, rather than using
`gdbarch_so_ops` directly.
The difficulty here is knowing when exactly to set and unset the solib
ops. What I have here passes the testsuite on Linux, but with more
testing we will probably discover more spots where it's needed.
The C++ification patch will turn this field into a unique pointer.
With this patch, the message we get when running "info
linker-namespaces" becomes always the same, so update the test in
gdb.base/dlmopen-ns-ids.exp.

gdbarch_so_ops, which is necessary for the C++ification patch later in

gdb: linux-namespaces: enter user namespace when appropriate
added a new test gdb.base/user-namespace-attach.exp. It has been
reported that this test will sometimes fail, like this:
(gdb) attach 184732
Attaching to process 184732
warning: process 184732 is a zombie - the process has already terminated
ptrace: Operation not permitted.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/user-namespace-attach.exp: flags=--mount --map-root-user: attach to inferior
the test tries to run the 'unshare' application. Sometimes though,
the application is present, but the set of flags used is not
supported (maybe due to restrictions on the local machine), so we see
behaviour like this:
$ unshare --mount --map-root-user /bin/true; echo $?
unshare: unshare failed: Operation not permitted
1
Handle this case by first running 'unshare' with the same flags, but
using '/bin/true', if this fails then assume the flags are not
supported, and skip the test.

This patch introduces a new macro, INIT_GDB_FILE. This is used to
replace the current "_initialize_" idiom when introducing a per-file
initialization function. That is, rather than write:
void _initialize_something ();
void
_initialize_something ()
{
...
}
... now you would write:
INIT_GDB_FILE (something)
{
...
}
The macro handles both the declaration and definition of the function.
The point of this approach is that it makes it harder to accidentally
cause an initializer to be omitted; see commit 2711e475 ("Ensure
cooked_index_entry self-tests are run"). Specifically, the regexp now
used by make-init-c seems harder to trick.
New in v2: un-did some erroneous changes made by the script.
The bulk of this patch was written by script.

After the last commit there were still a couple of calls to
m_stream->emit_style_escape in the pager_file class. As discussed in
the last commit, these are likely wrong, but I'd not been able to
produce any bugs because of them.
The reason why there are no bugs is that these calls are, I think,
entirely redundant. Consider this block:
if (m_wrap_column)
{
/* We are about to insert a newline at an historic
location in the WRAP_BUFFER. Before we do we want to
restore the default style. To know if we actually
need to insert an escape sequence we must restore the
current applied style to how it was at the WRAP_COLUMN
location. */
m_applied_style = m_wrap_style;
m_stream->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ());
/* If we aren't actually wrapping, don't output
newline -- if chars_per_line is right, we
probably just overflowed anyway; if it's wrong,
let us keep going. */
m_stream->puts ("\n");
}
What we know (see previous commit) is that the call:
m_stream->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ());
is dangerous as m_stream->m_applied_style is going to be out of sync
with its current state. Actually, m_stream->m_applied_style is likely
to be the default style as it is not updated elsewhere. So why does
this not cause problems?
Well, GDB's style output is always done in tightly scoped regions.
That means if we want to print some styled output, and then apply a
wrap point the code might look like this:
fprintf_styled (gdb_stdout, file_name_style, "some text");
gdb_stdout->wrap_here (4);
But, after printing 'some text', the style of gdb_stdout will have
returned to the default style.
My claim is that, whenever we encounter a wrap_here call, the stream
in question will _always_ have been returned to the default style.
This means that, in the block above, the call:
m_stream->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ());
will never emit anything because it depends on a check against
m_stream->m_applied_style, which will always mean that the above call
does nothing. But that's OK. By chance, we'll have always placed the
stream into a default style state anyway, so no harm done.
Similarly, the other call:
/* Having finished inserting the wrapping we should
restore the style as it was at the WRAP_COLUMN. */
m_stream->emit_style_escape (m_wrap_style);
Tries to return m_stream to the state it was in at the point of the
wrap_here call. But, as described above, this will always be the
default style, so the above call will do nothing, but that just
happens to be exactly what we want!
So what does this commit do?
Well, I "fix" the above code by removing the
m_stream->emit_style_escape calls and replacing them with calls to
puts, passing in the escape sequence for the required style, but only
if the m_stream style as tracked by pager_file::m_stream_style
indicates this is needed.
Got the reasons given above, this should mean there is no change after
this patch. We still shouldn't be emitting any extra escape
sequences. But, should we ever manage to get into a state where we
call wrap_here with a stream in a style other than the default, then
this should mean things work as expected.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

This commit fixes a couple of issues relating to the pagination
prompt and styling. The pagination prompt is this one:
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--
I did try to split this into multiple patches, based on the three
issues I describe below, but in the end, the fixes were all too
interconnected, so it ended up as one patch that makes two related,
but slightly different changes:
1. Within the pager_file class, relying on the m_applied_style
attribute of the wrapped m_stream, as is done when calling
m_stream->emit_style_escape, is not correct, so stop doing that, and
2. Failing to update m_applied_style within the pager_file class can
leave that attribute out of date, which can then lead to styling
errors later on, so ensure m_applied_style is always updated.
The problems I have seen are:
1. After quitting from a pagination prompt, the next command can
incorrectly style its output. This was reported as bug PR
gdb/31033, and is fixed by this commit.
2. The pagination prompt itself could be styled. The pagination
prompt should always be shown in the default style.
3. After continuing the output at a pagination prompt, GDB can fail
to restore the default style the next time the output (within the
same command) switches back to the default style.
There are tests for all these issues as part of this patch.
The pager_file class is a sub-class of wrapped_file, this means that a
pager_file is itself a ui_file, while it also manages a pointer to a
ui_file object (called m_stream). An instance of pager_file can be
installed as the gdb_stdout ui_file object.
Output sent to a pager_file is stored within an internal
buffer (called m_wrap_buffer) until we have a complete line, when the
content is flushed to the wrapped m_stream. If sufficient lines have
been written out then the pager_file will present the pagination
prompt and allow the user to continue viewing output, or quit the
current command.
As a pager_file is a ui_file, it has an m_applied_style member
variable.
The managed stream (m_stream) is also a ui_file, and so also has an
m_applied_style member variable.
In some places within the pager_file class we attempt to change the
current style of the m_stream using calls like this:
m_stream->emit_style_escape (style);
See pager_file::emit_style_escape, pager_file::prompt_for_continue,
and pager_file::puts. These calls will end up in
ui_file::emit_style_escape, which tries to skip emitting unnecessary
style escapes by checking if the requested style matches the current
m_applied_style value.
The m_applied_style value is updated by calls to the emit_style_escape
function.
The problem here is that most of the time pager_file doesn't change
the style of m_stream by calling m_stream->emit_style_escape. Most of
the time, style changes are performed by pager_file writing the escape
sequence into m_wrap_buffer, and then later flushing this buffer to
m_stream by calling m_stream->puts.
It has to be done this way. Calling m_stream->emit_style_escape
would, if it actually changed the style, immediately change the style
by emitting an escape sequence. But pager_file doesn't want that, it
wants the style change to happen later, when m_wrap_buffer is
flushed.
To avoid excessive style escape sequences being written into
m_wrap_buffer, the pager_file::m_applied_style performs a function
similar to the m_applied_style within m_stream, it tracks the current
style for the end of m_wrap_buffer, and only allows style escape
sequences to be emitted if the style is actually changing.
However, a consequence of this is the m_applied_style within m_stream,
is not updated, which means it will be out of sync with the actual
current style of m_stream. If we then try to make a call to
m_stream->emit_style_escape, if the style we are changing too happens
to match the out of date style in m_stream->m_applied_style, then the
style change will be ignored.
And this is indeed what we see in pager_file::prompt_for_continue with
the call:
m_stream->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ());
As m_stream->m_applied_style is not being updated, it will always be
the default style, however m_stream itself might not actually be in
the default style. This call then will not emit an escape sequence as
the desired style matches the out of date m_applied_style.
The fix in this case is to call m_stream->puts directly, passing in
the escape sequence for the desired style. This will result in an
immediate change of style for m_stream, which fixes some of the
problems described above.
In fact, given that m_stream's m_applied_style is always going to be
out of sync, I think we should change all of the
m_stream->emit_style_escape calls to instead call m_stream->puts.
However, just changing to use puts doesn't fix all the problems.
I found that, if I run 'apropos time', then quit at the first
pagination prompt. If for the next command I run 'maintenance time' I
see the expected output:
"maintenance time" takes a numeric argument.
However, everything after the first double quote is given the command
name style rather than only styling the text between the double
quotes.
Here is GDB's stack while printing the above output:
#2 0x0000000001050d56 in ui_out::vmessage (this=0x7fff1238a150, in_style=..., format=0x1c05af0 "", args=0x7fff1238a288) at ../../src/gdb/ui-out.c:754
#3 0x000000000104db88 in ui_file::vprintf (this=0x3f9edb0, format=0x1c05ad0 "\"%ps\" takes a numeric argument.\n", args=0x7fff1238a288) at ../../src/gdb/ui-file.c:73
#4 0x00000000010bc754 in gdb_vprintf (stream=0x3f9edb0, format=0x1c05ad0 "\"%ps\" takes a numeric argument.\n", args=0x7fff1238a288) at ../../src/gdb/utils.c:1905
#5 0x00000000010bca20 in gdb_printf (format=0x1c05ad0 "\"%ps\" takes a numeric argument.\n") at ../../src/gdb/utils.c:1945
#6 0x0000000000b6b29e in maintenance_time_display (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at ../../src/gdb/maint.c:128
The interesting frames here are #3, in here `this` is the pager_file
for GDB's stdout, and this passes its m_applied_style to frame #2 as
the `in_style` argument.
If the m_applied_style is wrong, then frame #2 will believe that the
wrong style is currently in use as the default style, and so, after
printing 'maintenance time' GDB will switch back to the wrong style.
So the question is, why is pager_file::m_applied_style wrong?
In pager_file::prompt_for_continue, there is an attempt to switch back
to the default style using:
m_stream->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ());
If this is changed to a puts call (see above) then this still leaves
pager_file::m_applied_style out of date.
The right fix in this case is, I think, to instead do this:
this->emit_style_escape (ui_file_style ());
this will update pager_file::m_applied_style, and also send the
default style to m_stream using a puts call.
While writing the tests I noticed that I was getting unnecessary style
reset sequences emitted.
The problem is that, around pagination, we don't really know what
style is currently applied to m_stream. The
pager_file::m_applied_style tracks the style at the end of
m_wrap_buffer, but this can run ahead of the current m_stream style.
For example, if the screen is currently full, such that the next
character of output will trigger the pagination prompt, if the next
call is actually to pager_file::emit_style_escape, then
pager_file::m_applied_style will be updated, but the style of m_stream
will remain unchanged. When the next character is written to
pager_file::puts then the pagination prompt will be presented, and GDB
will try to switch m_stream back to the default style. Whether an
escape is emitted or not will depend on the m_applied_style value,
which we know is different than the actual style of m_stream.
It is, after all, only when m_wrap_buffer is flushed to m_stream that
the style of m_stream actually change.
And so, this commit also adds pager_file::m_stream_style. This new
variable tracks the current style of m_stream. This really is a
replacement for m_stream's ui_file::m_applied_style, which is not
accessible from pager_file.
When content is flushed from m_wrap_buffer to m_stream then the
current value of pager_file::m_applied_style becomes the current style
of m_stream. But, when m_wrap_buffer is filling up, but before it is
flushed, then pager_file::m_applied_style can change, but
m_stream_style will remain unchanged.
Now in pager_file::emit_style_escape we are able to skip some of the
direct calls to m_stream->puts() used to emit style escapes.
After all this there are still a few calls to
m_stream->emit_style_escape(). These are all in the wrap_here support
code. I think that these calls are technically broken, but don't
actually cause any issues due to the way styling works in GDB. I
certainly haven't been able to trigger any bugs from these calls yet.
I plan to "fix" these in the next commit just for completeness.

Disclaimer: this issue cannot occur with Object Attributes v1 (OAv1) while
using the GNU binutils because a value of '\0' (empty string) for a tag
with a string value is considered as the default value for the attribute,
and consequently is eliminated by gas from the output object file during
the serialization.
An empty string is a valid value for a NTBS tag in both OAv1 and OAv2 [1]
cases. However, contrarily to OAv1, a OAv2 subsection can be required and
so, tags in this subsection might have to be present even if the value is
the default. To comply with this requirement, the OAv2 serializer won't
drop the default values.
In the case where a NTBS tag has the value '\0' and is last in the object
attributes section, the current code in readelf used for dumping the object
attributes incorrectly detects an overflow, and prints out an error message
for a corrupted string tag.
This patch fixes the detection of the overflow so that it now accept an
empty string in the last tag of the object attributes section.
It also fixes the previous tests for the empty NTBS case and the non-null
terminated string one. The fix was also tested in the context of OAv2's
patch series [1] where the issue was originally detected. No regression
was found.

The current testsuite for gas/readelf lacked two tests for EABI build
attributes:
- one when the final attribute is an empty string.
- one when the final attribute is a string missing the NULL terminator.
Those two issues cannot occur with Object Attributes v1 (OAv1) sections
created by the GNU binutils. Indeed a value of '\0' (empty string) for a
tag with a string value is considered as the default value for the
attribute, and consequently is eliminated by Gas from the output object
file during the serialization.
However, readelf should be able to process correctly files of an unknown
origin that could contain those two use cases.
This patch adds the two tests mentioned above. The first one is marked
as XFAIL because the empty string is not processed correctly by readelf
when it is in the last position. The second one passes, but simply print
out "[...]" without mentioning that the NTBS is corrupted.
A following patch will fix the bug in readelf, and will amend the newly
introduced tests.

PR testsuite/31831 reports the following failure in the
gdb.dap/log-message.exp test-case (formatted for readability):
...
{ "type": "event",
"event": "output",
"body": {
"category": "stdout",
"output": "Breakpoint 1 at 0x681: file log-message.c, line 23.\n"
},
"seq": 13
}
FAIL: $exp: logging output (checking body category)
...
for a gdb 14.2 based package.
The output event listed above is a result from the setBreakpoints request.
The test-case issues the setBreakpoints request and waits for the
corresponding response, but doesn't wait for the output event, and
consequently the output event is read by:
...
dap_wait_for_event_and_check "logging output" output \
{body category} console \
{body output} "got 23 - 23 = 0"
...
which triggers the failure.
I'm not able to reproduce this, but it looks worth fixing regardless.
We're fixing this on trunk though, and the output event looks different, and
there's one more output event:
...
{ "type": "event",
"event": "output",
"body": {
"category": "stdout",
"output": "No source file named log-message.c.\n"
},
"seq": 4
}
{ "type": "event",
"event": "output",
"body": {
"category": "stdout",
"output": "Breakpoint 1 (-source log-message.c -line 23) pending.\n"
},
"seq": 5
}
...
Fix this by waiting for these two output events, making the test-case a bit
more robust.
It is possible that one or both of these output events will be read by
dap_check_request_and_response "set breakpoint", and in that case restashing
them (for which there's currently no infrastructure) would be an easy way of
handling this. But I haven't been able to trigger that, so I'm leaving that
for if and when it does.

A user pointed out that DAP allows the "threads" request to work when
the inferior is running. This is documented in the overview, not the
specification.
While looking into this, I found a few other issues:
* The _thread_name function was not marked @in_gdb_thread.
This isn't very important but is still an oversight.
* DAP requires all threads to have a name -- the field is not optional
in the "Thread" type.
* There was no test examining events resulting from the inferior
printing to stdout.
This patch fixes all these problems.

I changed my system linker to 'mold', but then I saw some gdb test
failures. This patch fixes a subset of the failures.
dw2-strp.exp was failing, and investigating showed that there were two
.debug_str sections. I tracked this down to the .S file not using the
correct section flags.
This patch fixes this problem, plus the other instances I could find.
(Strangely, these did not all cause problems, however.) I also
changed the DWARF assembler to always use these flags for .debug_str.
