2025-02-10gdb: fix selecting tail-call frames by nameAndrew Burgess1-2/+4
I noticed that attempting to select a tail-call frame using 'frame function NAME' wouldn't work: (gdb) bt #0 func_that_never_returns () at /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-selection.c:49 #1 0x0000000000401183 in func_that_tail_calls () at /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-selection.c:59 #2 0x00000000004011a5 in main () at /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-selection.c:70 (gdb) frame function func_that_tail_calls No frame for function "func_that_tail_calls". (gdb) up #1 0x0000000000401183 in func_that_tail_calls () at /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-selection.c:59 59 func_that_never_returns (); (gdb) disassemble Dump of assembler code for function func_that_tail_calls: 0x000000000040117a <+0>: push %rbp 0x000000000040117b <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp 0x000000000040117e <+4>: call 0x40116c <func_that_never_returns> End of assembler dump. (gdb) The problem is that the 'function' mechanism uses get_frame_pc() and then compares the address returned with the bounds of the function we're looking for. So in this case, the bounds of func_that_tail_calls are 0x40117a to 0x401183, with 0x401183 being the first address _after_ the function. However, because func_that_tail_calls ends in a tail call, then the get_frame_pc() is 0x401183, the first address after the function. As a result, GDB fails to realise that frame #1 is inside the function we're looking for, and the lookup fails. The fix is to use get_frame_address_in_block, which will return an adjusted address, in this case, 0x401182, which is within the function bounds. Now the lookup works: (gdb) frame function func_that_tail_calls #1 0x0000000000401183 in func_that_tail_calls () at /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/frame-selection.c:59 59 func_that_never_returns (); (gdb) I've extended the gdb.base/frame-selection.exp test to cover this case.

2025-01-04[gdb/cli] Warn about forced return from signal trampolineTom de Vries1-1/+8
The Linaro CI reported a regression on arm-linux in test-case gdb.base/sigstep.exp following commit 7b46460a619 ("[gdb/symtab] Apply workaround for PR gas/31115 a bit more") [1]: ... (gdb) return^M Make __default_sa_restorer return now? (y or n) n^M Not confirmed^M (gdb) FAIL: $exp: return from handleri: \ leave signal trampoline (got interactive prompt) ... After installing package glibc-debuginfo and adding --with-separate-debug-dir to the configure flags, I managed to reproduce the FAIL. The regression seems to be a progression in the sense that the function name for the signal trampoline is found. After reading up on the signal trampoline [2] and the return command [3], my understanding is that forced returning from the signal trampoline is potentially unsafe, given that for instance the process signal mask won't be restored. Fix this by: - rather than using the name, using "signal trampoline" in the query, and - adding a warning about returning from a signal trampoline, giving us: ... (gdb) return^M warning: Returning from signal trampoline does not fully restore pre-signal \ state, such as process signal mask.^M Make signal trampoline return now?

To make things easy, replace all includes of gdbcmd.h with includes of cli/cli-cmds.h.

2024-02-20gdb: pass frames as `const frame_info_ptr &`Simon Marchi1-21/+21
We currently pass frames to function by value, as `frame_info_ptr`. This is somewhat expensive: - the size of `frame_info_ptr` is 64 bytes, which is a bit big to pass by value - the constructors and destructor link/unlink the object in the global `frame_info_ptr::frame_list` list. This is an `intrusive_list`, so it's not so bad: it's just assigning a few points, there's no memory allocation as if it was `std::list`, but still it's useless to do that over and over. As suggested by Tom Tromey, change many function signatures to accept `const frame_info_ptr &` instead of `frame_info_ptr`. Some functions reassign their `frame_info_ptr` parameter, like: void the_func (frame_info_ptr frame) { for (; frame != nullptr; frame = get_prev_frame (frame)) { ... } } I wondered what to do about them, do I leave them as-is or change them (and need to introduce a separate local variable that can be re-assigned). I opted for the later for consistency. It might not be clear why some functions take `const frame_info_ptr &` while others take `frame_info_ptr`. Also, if a function took a `frame_info_ptr` because it did re-assign its parameter, I doubt that we would think to change it to `const frame_info_ptr &` should the implementation change such that it doesn't need to take `frame_info_ptr` anymore. It seems better to have a simple rule and apply it everywhere. Change-Id: I59d10addef687d157f82ccf4d54f5dde9a963fd0 Approved-By: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>
2024-02-07Fix raw-frame-arguments in combination with frame-filtersHannes Domani1-0/+2
Currently, if frame-filters are active, raw-values is used instead of raw-frame-arguments to decide if a pretty-printer should be invoked for frame arguments in a backtrace. In this example, "super struct" is the output of the pretty-printer: (gdb) disable frame-filter global BasicFrameFilter (gdb) bt #0 foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 If no frame-filter is active, then the raw-values print option does not affect the backtrace output: (gdb) set print raw-values on (gdb) bt #0 foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 (gdb) set print raw-values off Instead, the raw-frame-arguments option disables the pretty-printer in the backtrace: (gdb) bt -raw-frame-arguments on #0 foo (x=42, ss=...) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 But if a frame-filter is active, the same rules don't apply. The option raw-frame-arguments is ignored, but raw-values decides if the pretty-printer is used: (gdb) enable frame-filter global BasicFrameFilter (gdb) bt #0 foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 (gdb) set print raw-values on (gdb) bt #0 foo (x=42, ss=...) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 (gdb) set print raw-values off (gdb) bt -raw-frame-arguments on #0 foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 So this adds the PRINT_RAW_FRAME_ARGUMENTS flag to frame_filter_flag, which is then used in the frame-filter to override the raw flag in enumerate_args. Then the output is the same if a frame-filter is active, the pretty-printer for backtraces is only disabled with the raw-frame-arguments option: (gdb) enable frame-filter global BasicFrameFilter (gdb) bt #0 foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 (gdb) set print raw-values on (gdb) bt #0 foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 (gdb) set print raw-values off (gdb) bt -raw-frame-arguments on #0 foo (x=42, ss=...) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47 #1 0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57 Co-Authored-By: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com> Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

The author of 'mold' pointed out that with a certain shared library, gdb would fail to find the shared library's name in 'bt'. The function in question appeared at the end of the .so's .text segment and ended with a call to 'abort'. This turned out to be a classic case of calling get_frame_pc when get_frame_address_in_block is needed -- the former will be off-by-one for purposes of finding the enclosing function or shared library.

2023-01-20gdb: make frame_info_ptr auto-reinflatableSimon Marchi1-6/+0
This is the second step of making frame_info_ptr automatic, reinflate on demand whenever trying to obtain the wrapper frame_info pointer, either through the get method or operator->. Make the reinflate method private, it is used as a convenience method in those two. Add an "is_null" method, because it is often needed to know whether the frame_info_ptr wraps an frame_info or is empty. Make m_ptr mutable, so that it's possible to reinflate const frame_info_ptr objects. Whether m_ptr is nullptr or not does not change the logical state of the object, because we re-create it on demand. I believe this is the right use case for mutable.

2023-01-03Add new overload of gdbarch_return_valueTom Tromey1-3/+4
The gdbarch "return_value" can't correctly handle variably-sized types. The problem here is that the TYPE_LENGTH of such a type is 0, until the type is resolved, which requires reading memory. However, gdbarch_return_value only accepts a buffer as an out parameter. Fixing this requires letting the implementation of the gdbarch method resolve the type and return a value -- that is, both the contents and the new type. After an attempt at this, I realized I wouldn't be able to correctly update all implementations (there are ~80) of this method. So, instead, this patch adds a new method that falls back to the current method, and it updates gdb to only call the new method. This way it's possible to incrementally convert the architectures that I am able to test.

2022-11-10gdb: add missing prepare_reinflate call in print_frame_infoSimon Marchi1-0/+2
print_frame_info calls frame_info_ptr::reinflate, but not frame_info_ptr::prepare_reinflate, add the call to prepare_reinflate. It works right now, because all callers of print_frame_info that could possibly lead to the pretty printers being called, and the frame_info objects being invalidated, do call prepare_reinflate themselves. And since the cached frame id is copied when passing a frame_info_ptr by value, print_frame_info does have a cached frame id on entry. So technically, this change isn't needed. But I don't think it's good for a function to rely on its callers to have called prepare_reinflate, if it intends to call reinflate.

This is because the code in backtrace_command_1 to manually reinflate `fi` steps overs frame_info_ptr's toes. When calling fi.prepare_reinflate (); `fi` gets properly filled with the cached frame id. But when this happens: fi = frame_find_by_id (frame_id); `fi` gets replaced by a brand new frame_info_ptr that doesn't have a cached frame id. Then this is called without a cached frame id: fi.reinflate (); That doesn't cause any problem currently, since - the gdb_assert in the reinflate method doesn't actually do anything (the following patch fixes that) - `fi.m_ptr` will always be non-nullptr, since we just got it from frame_find_by_id, so reinflate will not do anything, it won't try to use m_cached_id Fix that by removing the code to manually re-fetch the frame. That should be taken care of by frame_info_ptr::reinflate. Note that the old code checked if we successfully re-inflated the frame or not, and if not it did emit a warning. The equivalent in frame_info_ptr::reinflate asserts that the frame has been successfully re-inflated. It's not clear if / when this can happen, but if it can happen, we'll need to find a solution to this problem globally (everywhere a frame_info_ptr can be re-inflated), not just here. So I propose to leave it like this, until it does become a problem. Reviewed-By: Bruno Larsen <blarsen@redhat.com> Change-Id: I07b783d94e2853e0a2d058fe7deaf04eddf24835
