This commit adds a GDB test case which tests GDB's BFD error handler
hook for suppressing output of all but the first identical messages.
See the comment at the beginning of bfd-errors.exp for details about
this new test.
I've tested this test for both 32- and 64-bit ELF files and also
on both little endian and big endian machines. It also works for
both native and remote targets. The only major restriction is that
it only works for ELF targets.

This commit adds a hook to the BFD error handler for suppressing
identical messages which have been output once already.
It's motivated by this Fedora bug...
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2083315
...in which over 900,000 BFD error messages are output when attaching
to firefox. From the bug report, the messages all say:
BFD: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so-100.0-2.fc35.x86_64.debug: attempt to load strings from a non-string section (number 38)
Since there's no (additional) context which might assist the user in
determining what's wrong, there's really no point in outputting more
than one message. Of course, if BFD should output some
other/different message, it should be output too, but all future
messages identical to those already output should be suppressed.
For the firefox problem, it turned out that there were only 37
sections, but something was referring to section #38. I haven't
investigated further to find out how this came to be.
Despite this problem, useful debugging might still be done, especially
if the user doesn't care about debugging the problematic library.
If it turns out that knowing the quantity of messages might be useful,
I've implemented the suppression mechanism by keeping a count of each
identical message. A new GDB command, perhaps a 'maintenance'
command, could be added to print out each message along with the
count. I haven't implemented this though because I'm not convinced of
its utility. Also, the BFD message printer has support for BFD-
specific format specifiers. The BFD message strings that GDB stores
in its map are sufficient for distinguishing messages from each
other, but are not identical to those output by BFD's default error
handler. So, that problem would need to be solved too.

With the test-case included in the patch, we run into:
...
(gdb) info types -q std::nullptr_t^M
During symbol reading: unsupported tag: 'DW_TAG_unspecified_type'^M
^M
File /usr/include/c++/7/x86_64-suse-linux/bits/c++config.h:^M
2198: typedef decltype(nullptr) std::nullptr_t;^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/nullptr_t.exp: info types -q std::nullptr_t \

...
Fix the complaint by handling DW_TAG_unspecified_type in new_symbol, and verify
in the test-case using "maint print symbols" that the symbol exists.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc 7.5.0 and clang 13.0.

On a powerpc system with gcc 12 built to default to 128-bit IEEE long double,
I run into:
...

$8 = 0 + 0i^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/varargs.exp: print \

This is due to incorrect handling of the argument in ppc64_sysv_abi_push_param.
Fix this and similar cases, and expand the test-case to test handling of
homogeneous aggregates.

[ Another attempt at fixing the problem described in commit cd919f5533c
("[gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp"). ]
When running the test-case gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp with
aarch64-linux, we run into:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
^M
Breakpoint 2, compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at \
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: \
compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: \
compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename
...
The breakpoint set at compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename_label,
address 0x400608 starts at a line entry:
...
CU: tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:
File name Line number Starting address View Stmt
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c 999 0x400608 x
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c 1000 0x40062c x
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c - 0x40062c
...
and therefore the breakpoint is printed without instruction address.
In contrast, for x86_64-linux, we have the breakpoint printed with instruction
address:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
^M
Breakpoint 2, 0x004004c1 in compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () \

(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: \
compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: \

...
The breakpoint set at compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename_label,
address 0x004004c1 doesn't start at a line entry:
...
CU: tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:
File name Line number Starting address View Stmt
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c 999 0x4004bd x
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c 1000 0x4004d3 x
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c - 0x4004d3
...
Fix this by:
- unifying behaviour between the archs by adding an explicit line number entry
for the address compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename_label, making
the FAIL reproducible on x86_64-linux.
- expecting the breakpoint to be printed without instruction address.
Tested on x86_64-linux and aarch64-linux.

In completion tests in various test-cases, we've been running into these
"clearing input line" timeouts:
...
(gdb) $cmd^GPASS: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: tab complete "$cmd"
FAIL: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: tab complete "$cmd" (clearing input line) (timeout)
...
where $cmd == "maintenance selftest name_that_does_not_exist".
AFAIU, the following scenario happens:
- expect sends "$cmd\t"
- gdb detects the stdin event, and calls rl_callback_read_char until it
comes to handle \t
- readline interprets the \t as completion, tries to complete, fails to do so,
outputs a bell (^G)
- expect sees the bell, and proceeds to send ^C
- readline is still in the call to rl_callback_read_char, and stores the
signal in _rl_caught_signal
- readline returns from the call to rl_callback_read_char, without having
handled _rl_caught_signal
- gdb goes to wait for the next event
- expect times out waiting for "Quit", the expected reaction for ^C
Fix this by handling pending signals after each call to rl_callback_read_char.
The fix is only available for readline 8.x, if --with-system-readline provides
an older version, then the fix is disabled due to missing function
rl_check_signals.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb.base/so-impl-ld.exp was setup assuming that the compiler would add
epilogue information and that GDB would stop in the } line. This would
make clang tests fail like so:
step^M
solib_main (arg=10000) at ../../../common/git-repos/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/solib1.c:7^M
7|__ return arg*arg;|__|___/* HERE */^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/so-impl-ld.exp: step into solib call

0x00007ffff7cef560 in __libc_start_call_main () from /lib64/libc.so.6^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/so-impl-ld.exp: step out of solib call
This patch changes it so solib_main has 2 lines where GDB can stop
regardless of compiler choices, and updates the exp file to
generically deal with unknown number of steps until leaving that
function.
|
|
Currently, GDB's testsuite uses a set amount of step commands to exit
functions. This is a problem if a compiler emits different epilogue
information from gcc, or emits no epilogue information at all. It was
most noticeable if Clang was used to test GDB.
To fix this unreliability, this commit introduces a new proc that will
step the inferior until it is stopped at a line that matches the given
regexp, or until it steps too many times - defined as an optional
argument. If the line is found, it shows up as a single PASS in the
test, and if the line is not found, a single FAIL is emitted.
This patch only introduces this proc, but does not add it to any
existing tests, these will be introduced in the following commit.
|

Not all compilers add stderr debug information when compiling a
program. Clang, for instance, prefers to add nothing from standard
libraries and let an external debug package have this information.
Because of this, gdb.base/dprintf.exp was failing when GDB attempted to
use dprintf as a call to fprintf(stderrr, ...), like this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/dprintf.exp: call: fprintf: set dprintf style to call
continue
Continuing.
kickoff 1234
also to stderr 1234
'stderr' has unknown type; cast it to its declared type
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/dprintf.exp: call: fprintf: 1st dprintf (timeout)
To avoid this false positive, we explicitly test to see if
the compiler has added information about stderr at all, and abort
testing dprintf as an fprintf call if it is unavailable.
|
|
The reason for implementing this interface is that we want to print
GPR, PC, EPC, PSR and EPSR when the "info register" command
is executed.
A prev patch has added PC, EPC, PSR and EPSR to reggroup
general_group, the purpose has been achieved, so this function is
no longer required.
|
|
Software breakpoints are inserted or removed by the gdb stub via
remote protocol, these two functions are no longer needed.
|

There are two sequences of instructions for long branch:
1. jmpi [pc+4] //insn code: 0xeac00001

clang doesn't add encoding to the name of complex variables, only says
that the type name is complex, making the relevant tests fail.
This patch adds the xfails to the tests that expect the variable name to
include it.

When running gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp against Clang, we see one FAIL,
like so:
print_all_arrays (array_i=<main.integer_array>, array_c=<main.char_array> "ZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZa
ZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZa", array_f=<main.float_array>, array_d=<main.double_array>) at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/call-ar-st.c:274
274 print_int_array(array_i); /* -step1- */
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp: step inside print_all_arrays
With GCC we instead see:
print_all_arrays (array_i=<integer_array>, array_c=<char_array> "ZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZaZa", array_f=<float_array>, array_d=<double_array>) at /home/pedro/gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/call-ar-st.c:274
274 print_int_array(array_i); /* -step1- */
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp: step inside print_all_arrays
The difference is that with Clang we get:
array_i=<main.integer_array>, ...
instead of
array_i = <integer_array>, ...
These symbols are local static variables, and "main" is the name of
the function they are defined in. GCC instead appends a sequence
number to the linkage name:
$ nm -A call-ar-st.gcc | grep integer_
call-ar-st/call-ar-st:00000000000061a0 b integer_array.3968
$ nm -A call-ar-st.clang | grep integer_
call-ar-st:00000000004061a0 b main.integer_array
This commit changes the testcase to accept both outputs, as they are
functionally identical.

Clang was optimizing global_var away because it was not being used
anywhere. this commit fixes that by adding the attribute used it.
|
|
The test specifically mentions that it doesn't care where the program
stops, however it was still testing for a specific location. The clang
compiler emits different line information for epilogue, so GDB reports a
different stopping location, depending on the used compiler. With this
patch the test works even with clang.
|
|
Clang organizes the variables differently to gcc in the original version
of this code, leading to the following differences when testing
p (int*) &dataglobal + 1
gcc:
$16 = (int *) 0x404034 <datalocal>
clang:
$16 = (int *) 0x404034 <dataglobal8>
However, since the important part of this test doesn't seem to be which
symbol is linked, but rather if GDB is correctly increasing the
address. This test was changed to actually measure address changes,
instead of assuming the ordering and naming of symbols.

When running selftest run_on_main_thread and pressing ^C, we can run into:
...
Running selftest run_on_main_thread.
terminate called without an active exception
Fatal signal: Aborted
...
The selftest function looks like this:
...
static void
run_tests ()
{
std::thread thread;
done = false;
{
gdb::block_signals blocker;
thread = std::thread (set_done);
}
while (!done && gdb_do_one_event () >= 0)
;
/* Actually the test will just hang, but we want to test
something. */
SELF_CHECK (done);
thread.join ();
}
...
The error message we see is due to the destructor of thread being called while
thread is joinable.
This is supposed to be taken care of by thread.join (), but the ^C prevents
that one from being called, while the destructor is still called.
Fix this by ensuring thread.join () is called (if indeed required) before the
destructor using SCOPE_EXIT.

In commit cd919f5533c ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp"), I made gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp
independent of prologue analyzers, using this change:
...
- gdb_breakpoint $func
+ gdb_breakpoint *$func
...
That however caused a regression on ppc64le. For PowerPC, as described in the
ELFv2 ABI, a function can have a global and local entry point.
Setting a breakpoint on *$func effectively creates a breakpoint for the global
entry point, so if the function is entered through the local entry point, the
breakpoint doesn't trigger.
Fix this by reverting commit cd919f5533c, and setting the breakpoint on
${func}_label instead.

This test generates 48 failures on Power 9 when testing with HW watchpoints
enabled. Note HW watchpoint support is disabled on Power 9 due to a HW bug.
The skip_hw_watchpoint_tests proc must be used to correctly determine
if the processor supports HW watchpoints.
This patch replaces the [target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints]

(gdb) PASS: gdb.ada/access_tagged_param.exp: continue
...
Note the different line numbers, 17 vs 19.
The difference comes from the gdbarch_skip_prologue implementation.
The amd64_skip_prologue implementation doesn't use gcc line numbers, and falls
back to the architecture-specific prologue analyzer, which correctly skips
past the prologue, to address 0x4022f7:
...
00000000004022ec <pck__inspect>:
4022ec: 55 push %rbp
4022ed: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
4022f0: 48 89 7d f8 mov %rdi,-0x8(%rbp)

4022f7: 90 nop
4022f8: 90 nop
4022f9: 5d pop %rbp
4022fa: c3 ret
...
The aarch64_skip_prologue implementation does use gcc line numbers, which are:
...
File name Line number Starting address View Stmt
pck.adb 17 0x402580 x
pck.adb 17 0x402580 1 x
pck.adb 19 0x40258c x
pck.adb 20 0x402590 x
...
and which are represented like this internally in gdb:
...
INDEX LINE ADDRESS IS-STMT PROLOGUE-END
0 17 0x0000000000402580 Y
1 17 0x0000000000402580 Y
2 19 0x000000000040258c Y
3 20 0x0000000000402590 Y
4 END 0x00000000004025a0 Y
...
The second entry is interpreted as end-of-prologue, so 0x402580 is used, while
the actual end of the prologue is at 0x40258c:
...
0000000000402580 <pck__inspect>:
402580: d10043ff sub sp, sp, #0x10
402584: f90007e0 str x0, [sp, #8]

402598: d65f03c0 ret
40259c: d503201f nop
...
Note that the architecture-specific prologue analyzer would have gotten this
right:
...
(gdb) p /x aarch64_analyze_prologue (gdbarch, pc, pc + 128, 0)
$2 = 0x40258c
...
Fix the FAIL by making the test-case more robust against problems in prologue
skipping, by setting the breakpoint on line 19 instead.
Likewise in a few similar test-cases.

v2:
- Add 32-bit Arm instruction selftest
- Refactored abstract memory reader into abstract instruction reader
- Adjusted code to use templated type and to use host endianness as
opposed to target endianness.
The arm record tests handle 16-bit and 32-bit thumb instructions, but the
code is laid out in a way that handles the 32-bit thumb instructions as
two 16-bit parts.
This is fine, but it is prone to host-endianness issues given how the two
16-bit parts are stored and how they are accessed later on. Arm is
little-endian by default, so running this test with a GDB built with
--enable-targets=all and on a big endian host will run into the following:
Running selftest arm-record.
Process record and replay target doesn't support syscall number -2036195
Process record does not support instruction 0x7f70ee1d at address 0x0.
Self test failed: self-test failed at ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/arm-tdep.c:14482
It turns out the abstract memory reader class is more generic than it needs to
be, and we can simplify the code a bit by assuming we have a simple instruction
reader that only reads up to 4 bytes, which is the length of a 32-bit
instruction.
Instead of returning a bool, we return instead the instruction that has been
read. This way we avoid having to deal with the endianness conversion, and use
the host endianness instead. The Arm selftests can be executed on non-Arm
hosts.
While at it, Tom suggested adding a 32-bit Arm instruction selftest to increase
the coverage of the selftests.

The problem is that after starting the executable, the symbol has type
"void (*) (void)":
...
(gdb) p munmap
$1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x401030 <munmap@plt>
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) p munmap
$2 = {void (void)} 0x7ffff7feb9a0 <__GI_munmap>
...
which causes the "Invalid cast" error.
Looking at the debug info for glibc for symbol __GI_munmap:
...
<0><189683>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
<189691> DW_AT_name : ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S
<189699> DW_AT_producer : GNU AS 2.39.0
<1><1896ae>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<1896af> DW_AT_name : __GI___munmap
<1896b3> DW_AT_external : 1
<1896b4> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x10cad0
<1896bc> DW_AT_high_pc : 37
...
that's probably caused by this bit (or similar bits for other munmap aliases).
This is fixed in gas on trunk by commit 5578fbf672e ("GAS: Add a return type
tag to DWARF DIEs generated for function symbols").
Work around this (for say gas 2.39) by explicitly specifying the prototype for
munmap.
Likewise for getpid in a couple of other test-cases.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This is paired with "opcodes: Add non-enum disassembler options".
There is a portable mechanism for disassembler options and used on some
architectures:
- ARC
- Arm
- MIPS
- PowerPC
- RISC-V
- S/390
However, it only supports following forms:
- [NAME]
- [NAME]=[ENUM_VALUE]
Valid values for [ENUM_VALUE] must be predefined in
disasm_option_arg_t.values. For instance, for -M cpu=[CPU] in ARC
architecture, opcodes/arc-dis.c builds valid CPU model list from
include/elf/arc-cpu.def.
In this commit, it adds following format:
- [NAME]=[ARBITRARY_VALUE] (cannot contain "," though)
This is identified by NULL value of disasm_option_arg_t.values
(normally, this is a non-NULL pointer to a NULL-terminated list).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb/disasm.c (set_disassembler_options): Add support for
non-enum disassembler options.
(show_disassembler_options_sfunc): Likewise.

When running test-case gdb.cp/cpexprs-debug-types.exp on target board
cc-with-debug-names/gdb:debug_flags=-gdwarf-5, we get an executable with
a .debug_names section, but no .debug_types section. For dwarf-5, the TUs
are no longer put in a separate unit, but instead they're put in the
.debug_info section.
When loading the executable, the .debug_names section is silently ignored
because of this check in dwarf2_read_debug_names:
...
if (map->tu_count != 0)
{
/* We can only handle a single .debug_types when we have an
index. */
if (per_bfd->types.size () != 1)
return false;
...
which triggers because per_bfd->types.size () == 0.
The intention of the check is to make sure we don't have more that one
.debug_types section, as can happen in a object file (see PR12984):
...
$ grep "\.debug_types" 11.s
.section .debug_types,"G",@progbits,wt.75c042c23a9a07ee,comdat
.section .debug_types,"G",@progbits,wt.c59c413bf50a4607,comdat
...
Fix this by:
- changing the check condition to "per_bfd->types.size () > 1", and
- handling per_bfd->types.size () == 0.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Add test-case gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-bad-cu-index.exp, a regression test for
commit 2fe9a3c41fa ("[gdb/symtab] Fix bad compile unit index complaint").
Tested on x86_64-linux.
|
|
Add a test-case gdb.dwarf2/debug-names-tu.exp, that uses the dwarf assembler
to specify a .debug_names index with the TU list referring to a TU from the
.debug_types section.
This is intended to produce something similar to:
...
$ gcc -g -fdebug-types-section ~/hello.c -gdwarf-4
$ gdb-add-index -dwarf-5 a.out
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.

The distutils module is deprecated as per the PEP 632[1] and will be
removed in python-3.12.
This patch migrates gdb/python/python-config.py from distutils.sysconfig
to the sysconfig module[2].
The sysconfig module has has been introduced in the standard library in
python 3.2. Given that support for python < 3.2 has been removed by
edae3fd6600f: "gdb/python: remove Python 2 support", this patch does not
need to support both implementations for backward compatibility.
Tested on ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu 20.04.

PR mi/10347 points out that using interpreter-exec inside of a
"define" command will crash gdb. The bug here is that
gdb_setup_readline doesn't check for the case where instream==nullptr.

PR mi/15811 points out that "source"ing a file that uses
interpreter-exec will put gdb in a weird state, where the CLI stops
working. The bug is that tui_interp::suspend does not unregister the
event file descriptor.
The test case is from Andrew Burgess.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15811

mi_interp::resume does not need to call clear_interpreter_hooks,
because this is already done by interp_set.
|
|
The TUI checks against gdb_stdout to decide when to buffer. It seems
much cleaner to me to simply record this as an attribute of the stream
itself.
|
|
gdb_setup_readline makes new streams and assigns to the various stream
members of struct ui. However, these assignments cause the previous
values to leak. As far as I can, this code is simply unnecessary and
can be removed -- with the exception of the assignment to gdb_stdtarg,
which is not initialized anywhere else.
|
|
tui_out_new is just a simple wrapper for 'new' and can be removed,
simplifying gdb a tiny bit.
|
|
This changes safe_parse_type to use scoped_restore rather than
explicit assignments.
|
|
This changes 'struct ui' to use member initialization. This is
simpler to understand.
|
|
These members of mi_interp aren't used and can be removed.
|
|
top.h has an obsolete comment about the use of _unfiltered.
|
|
A few spots setting some gdb output stream variables have a "for
moment" comment. These comments aren't useful and I think the moment
has passed -- these are permanent now.
|
|
This changes ui_out_redirect_pop to also perform the redirection, and
then updates several sites to use this, rather than explicit
redirects.
|
|
A ui initializes its line_buffer, but never calls buffer_free on it.
This patch fixes the oversight. I found this by inspection.
