gdb/testsuite/rocm.exp: Use system GPU(s) to detect features
Background
----------
This patch revisits the purpose of hcc_amdgpu_targets{} in
order to address the separation of concerns between:
- GPU targets passed to the compiler. This kind of target
is passed as an argument to flags like "--offload-arch=...",
"--targets=...", etc.
- GPU targets as in available GPU devices on the system. This
is crucial for finding which capabilities are available,
and therefore which tests should be executed or skipped.
Code change
-----------
- A new "find_amdgpu_devices{}" procedure is added. It is
responsible for listing the GPU devices that are available
on the system.
- "hcc_amdgpu_targets{}" is rewritten to use the newly added
"find_amdgpu_devices{}" when there's no environment variable
(HCC_AMDGPU_TARGET) set.
- The output of "hcc_amdgpu_targets{}" is now only used in
places that set the target for the building toolchains.
- The output of "find_amdgpu_devices{}" is used anywhere that
needs to evaluate the GPU features.

clang 19 fails to build gdb with this error:
/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/compile/compile-object-load.c:302:3: error: cannot initialize a member subobject of type 'void (*)(const char *, ...) __attribute__((noreturn))' with an lvalue of type 'void (const char *, ...)'

This illustrates that the bfd_link_callbacks array is missing an entry
for the "fatal" callback, add it.
The fatal field was added very recently, in d26161914 ("PR 32603, more
ld -w misbehaviour"). We're lucky that the new callback was marked with
the noreturn attribute and that clang checks that, otherwise this would
have gone unnoticed.

While working on another series, I discovered that the existing code
in gdb.ada/complete.exp that conditionally accepts a completion does
not work correctly. The code assumes that wrapping a line in "(...)?"
will make the entire line optional, but really this will only match a
blank line.
Meanwhile, I needed this same patch for a second series I'm working
on, so I've pulled this out. As it only affects Ada, I am going to
check it in.

I noticed a non-bool-like use of target_get_tib_address in
windows-tdep.c. After fixing this I thought it would be good to
document the target method; and this also lead to some non-bool-like
commentary in remote.c. This patch fixes all of these nits.

Now that stabs is deprecated, we should probably warn our users of it
before removing support, so that they have time to react and either make
themselves heard, or fix things on their end so that they can still debug
their applications.
This commit adds a new function that emits a warning whenever GDB does
stabs reading. Since there are several places where stabs is
re-invented, this warning had to be added to many places, but I think I
managed to warn everywhere relevant without duplicating warnings.
Also, the test gdb.stabs/weird.exp explicitly checks for GDB warnings
when reading stabs, so it had to be updated to account for the
deprecation warning. It is done generically, since it will be removed in
the next release anyway.

Right now, cooked_index_functions::expand_symtabs_matching computes
the language for each component of a split name, using the language of
the corresponding entry.
Instead, I think that we want to do all the comparisons using the
final entry's language. I don't think there's a way to trigger bad
behavior here right now, but with another series I'm working on, we
end up with some entries whose language can't reliably be determined;
and in this case using the final entry's language avoids issues.
I suspect we could also dispense with the per-segment name-matcher
lookup as well.

This changes the various producer-checking functions to be methods on
dwarf2_cu. It adds a few new caching members as well -- every one
that could reasonably be done this way has been converted, with the
only exception being a gdbarch hook.
Note the new asserts in the accessors. Without the earlier
prepare_one_comp_unit change, these could trigger in some modes.
|
|
This changes prepare_one_comp_unit to be a private method of
cutu_reader. This should make it somewhat simpler to reason about.
|
|
Currently, prepare_one_comp_unit is called somewhat haphazardly: it is
mostly called when a CU is read, but some places manage to instantiate
a cutu_reader* without calling it, and some code (e.g.,
read_file_scope) calls it without really needing to.
Aside from contributing to the general confusion around CU reading,
this doesn't really cause problems in the current tree. However, it
is possible for the DWARF reader to check the CU's producer before it
is ever set -- which is certainly unintended.
|
|
This moves the producer_is_realview to producer.c.
|
|
In dwarf2/read.c:new_symbol, DW_TAG_namelist is listed in the same
part of the "switch" as other tags. However, it effectively shares no
code with these. This patch splits it into its own case.
Longer term I think new_symbol should be split up drastically.

I was trying to get an understanding of which CUs were expanded when,
and how much time it was taking. I wrote this patch to add some logging
related to that, and I think it would be useful to have upstream, to
better understand performance problems related to over-eager CU
expansion, for example.
- add DWARF_READ_SCOPED_DEBUG_START_END
- use it in process_queue, to wrap the related expansion messages
together
- add a message in maybe_queue_comp_unit when enqueuing a comp unit
- add timing information to messages in process_queue, indicating how
much time it took to expand a given symtab
- count the number of expansions done in a single call to process_queue

Pass a dwarf2_per_bfd to the constructor of dwarf2_per_cu_data and set
the per_bfd field there. All "real" instantiations of
dwarf2_per_cu_data must have a valid, non-nullptr dwarf2_per_bfd
backlink, this makes it a bit more obvious. The instantiations of
dwarf2_per_cu_data that receive a nullptr dwarf2_per_bfd are the ones
used to do hash map lookups and the ones used in selftests.
Remove an unnecessary assignment of per_bfd in
fill_in_sig_entry_from_dwo_entry: the per_bfd field is already set when
the signatured_type object is constructor (before that, it was set in
allocate_signatured_type).

The maximum number of load/store watchpoints and fetch instruction
watchpoints is 14 each according to LoongArch Reference Manual [1],
so extend the maximum number of hardware watchpoints from 8 to 14.
A new struct user_watch_state_v2 was added into uapi in the related
kernel commit 531936dee53e ("LoongArch: Extend the maximum number of
watchpoints") [2], but there may be no struct user_watch_state_v2 in
the system header in time. Modify the struct loongarch_user_watch_state
in GDB which is same with the uapi struct user_watch_state_v2.
As far as I can tell, the only users for this struct in the userspace
are GDB and LLDB, there are no any problems of software compatibility
between the application and kernel according to the analysis.
The compatibility problem has been considered while developing and
testing. When the applications in the userspace get watchpoint state,
the length will be specified which is no bigger than the sizeof struct
user_watch_state or user_watch_state_v2, the actual length is assigned
as the minimal value of the application and kernel in the generic code
of ptrace:
kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_regset():
kiov->iov_len = min(kiov->iov_len,
(__kernel_size_t) (regset->n * regset->size));
if (req == PTRACE_GETREGSET)
return copy_regset_to_user(task, view, regset_no, 0,
kiov->iov_len, kiov->iov_base);
else
return copy_regset_from_user(task, view, regset_no, 0,
kiov->iov_len, kiov->iov_base);
For example, there are four kind of combinations, all of them work well.
(1) "older kernel + older app", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200;
(2) "newer kernel + newer app", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*14=344;
(3) "older kernel + newer app", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200;
(4) "newer kernel + older app", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200.
BTW, LLDB also made this change in the related commit ff79d83caeee
("[LLDB][LoongArch] Extend the maximum number of watchpoints") [3]

GDB prints the target id of a thread in various places such as the
output of the "info threads" command in the "Target Id" column or when
switching to a thread. A target can define what to print for a given
ptid by overriding the `pid_to_str` method.
The remote target is a gateway behind which one of many various
targets could be running. The remote target converts a given ptid to
a string in a uniform way, without consulting the low target at the
server-side.
In this patch we introduce a new attribute in the XML that is sent in
response to the "qXfer:threads:read" RSP packet, so that a low target
at the server side, if it wishes, can specify what to print as the
target id of a thread.
Note that the existing "name" attribute or the "extra" text provided
in the XML are not sufficient for the server-side low target to
achieve the goal. Those attributes, when present, are simply appended
to the target id by GDB.

In test-case gdb.base/gstack.exp we start a gdb implicitly using
prepare_for_testing.
The gdb is not really used, but its spawn_id (available in variable
gdb_spawn_id) is used in a gdb_test_multiple, which is used to interact with
the gstack process.
Usually, a running gdb is cleaned up at test-case exit in gdb_finish, which
calls gdb_exit, which by default calls gdb_default_exit, which does
'send_gdb "quit\n"'.
However, this sends a quit to the host process expect is currently talking to,
defined by board_info(host,fileid), and after spawning gstack that's gstack, not
gdb.
Fix this by:
- using build_executable instead of prepare_for_testing to not spawn an unused
gdb, and
- changing the gdb_test_multiple into a gdb_expect, eliminating the implicit use
of gdb_spawn_id.

The color_option_def constructor passes the wrong number of arguments

The -taso switch was quite useful 25 years ago for porting 32-bit
code with broken integer-pointer casting. Not anymore. The EF_ALPHA_32BIT
Linux support is going to be dropped in kernel v6.14 [1], NetBSD and OpenBSD
never had it, so there is no point in keeping the -taso option around.
Also remove alpha special case that uses -taso from gdb.base/dump.exp

I noticed that, with recent versions of GDB, when the TUI is enabled

I think the new layout is not as good because it is missing the
context of the function name. The new behaviour started with the
commit:
commit 49e607f511c1fab82a0116990a72d1915c74bb4a
Author: Stephan Rohr <stephan.rohr@intel.com>

gdb: adjust the default place of 'list' to main's prologue
I don't think the new behaviour is really a problem with that commit,
rather, when using 'tui enable' before the inferior has started GDB
ends up calling tui_source_window_base::rerender(), and then passes
through the code path which calls update_source_window_with_addr().
When using 'tui enable' after the inferior has started, GDB again
calls tui_source_window_base::rerender(), but this time has a frame,
and so takes the second code path, which centres the selected source
line, and then calls update_source_window.
The point is that the update_source_window_with_addr() path doesn't
include the logic to centre the source line.
Before the above commit this was fine as GDB's default location would
be prior to main, and so we got the "good" TUI output. After the
above commit the default location is now main's prologue, and without
the centring logic, the first line shown is main's prologue.
I propose fixing this by having update_source_window_with_addr() call
maybe_update(). This will first check if the requested line is
already visible, and if not, show the requested line with centring
applied.
After this commit, the 'tui enable' state is now:
┌─hello.c─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 11 } │
│ 12 │
│ 13 /* The main function. */ │
│ 14 │

It's not identical to the old behaviour, but that was never the
objective, we do however, see the context around main's prologue,
which will usually be enough to see the function name and return type,
which I think is useful.

This is a refactor to setup for the next commit.
The maybe_update function currently takes a frame_info_ptr&, however,
it only uses this to get the frame's gdbarch.
In the next commit I want to call maybe_update when I have a gdbarch,
but no frame_info_ptr& (the inferior hasn't even started).
So, update maybe_update to take the gdbarch, and update the callers to
pass that through. Most callers already have the gdbarch to hand, but
in one place I do need to extract this from the frame_info_ptr&.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

The recent .debug_names patches caused the writer to emit
DW_FORM_data4. Unfortunately the reader did not handle this form.
This patch updates the reader to handle a few DW_FORM_data* forms.
The complaint that is there went unnoticed -- I only found this when
debugging a failure in another series. More evidence, IMO, that
complaints should be removed.
I think the reason the failure itself went unnoticed is that the
symbol table code in gdb often works by accident, and in particular in
small programs like the ones in the test suite, it's often the case
that a CU will be expanded for some other reason, causing the test to
pass without really touching the index code. The aforementioned
series is aimed at fixing this.
It would probably be good to unify the abbrev/form code to some
degree, but it's mildly a pain as some forms don't make sense here and
because we recently discovered other issues with gdb's DW_FORM_data*
handling.

Throughout gdb/dwarf2, use `*_up` typedefs. Add a few missing typedefs,
and move some so they are, ideally, just after the corresponding class.

Rename them to include "worker" in the name. Otherwise, it's easy to be
confused and think that they are sub-classes of "cooked_index".

A bit more changes as in 8e745eac7db3 ("gdb/dwarf: rename
cooked_index::m_vector to m_shards"). I think it's clearer if the term
"index" is reserved for the whole thing, while "shard" or "index shard"
are used for the parts.

I'm currently reading the DAP code, and I think this would help. This
is pretty much standard Python style, we do it as some places but not
others. I think it helps readability, by saying that this attribute
isn't mean to be accessed outside the class.
A similar pass could be done for internal methods, I haven't done that.

While working on another patch which changes how we parse the line
DWARF line tables I noticed what I think is a minor bug in how we
process the line tables.
What I noticed is that my new line table parser was adding more END
markers into the parsed table than GDB's current approach. This
difference was observed when processing the debug information for
libstdc++.
Here is the line table from the new test, this is a reasonable
reproduction of the problem case that I observed in the actual debug
line table:
Contents of the .debug_line section:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c:
File name Line number Starting address View Stmt
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c 101 0x40110a x
/tmp/dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c 201 0x401114 x
/tmp/dw2-skipped-line-entries-3.c:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-3.c 301 0x40111e x
/tmp/dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c 102 0x401128 x
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c 103 0x401128 x
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c 104 0x401128 x
/tmp/dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c 211 0x401128
/tmp/dw2-skipped-line-entries-3.c:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-3.c 311 0x401132
/tmp/dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c:
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c 104 0x40113c
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c 105 0x401146 x
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c - 0x401150
The problem is caused by the entry for line 211. Notice that this
entry is at the same address as the previous entries. Further, the
entry for 211 is a non-statement entry, while the previous entries are
statement entries.
As the entry for line 211 is a non-statement entry, and the previous
entries at that address are statement entries in a different symtab,
it is thought that it is better to prefer the earlier entries (in
dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c), and so the entry for line 211 will be
discarded.
As GDB parses the line table it switches between the 3 symtabs (based
on source filename) adding the relevant entries to each symtab.
Additionally, as GDB switches symtabs, it adds an END entry to the
previous symtab.
The problem then is that, for the line 211 entry, this is the only
entry in dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c before we switch symtab again.
But the line 211 entry is discarded. This means that GDB switches
from dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c to dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c, and
then on to dw2-skipped-line-entries-3.c without ever adding an entry
to dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c.
And here then is the bug. GDB updates its idea of the previous symtab
not when an entry is written into a symtab, but every time we change
symtab.
In this case, when we switch to dw2-skipped-line-entries-3.c we add
the END marker to dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c, even though no entries
were written to dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c. At the same time, no
END marker is ever written into dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c as the
dw2-skipped-line-entries-2.c entry (for line 211) was discarded.
Here is the 'maint info line-table' for dw2-skipped-line-entries-1.c
before this patch:
INDEX LINE REL-ADDRESS UNREL-ADDRESS IS-STMT PROLOGUE-END EPILOGUE-BEGIN
0 101 0x000000000040110a 0x000000000040110a Y
1 END 0x0000000000401114 0x0000000000401114 Y
2 102 0x0000000000401128 0x0000000000401128 Y
3 103 0x0000000000401128 0x0000000000401128 Y

7 END 0x0000000000401150 0x0000000000401150 Y
And after this patch:
INDEX LINE REL-ADDRESS UNREL-ADDRESS IS-STMT PROLOGUE-END EPILOGUE-BEGIN
0 101 0x000000000040110a 0x000000000040110a Y
1 END 0x0000000000401114 0x0000000000401114 Y
2 102 0x0000000000401128 0x0000000000401128 Y
3 103 0x0000000000401128 0x0000000000401128 Y
4 104 0x0000000000401128 0x0000000000401128 Y
5 END 0x0000000000401132 0x0000000000401132 Y
6 104 0x000000000040113c 0x000000000040113c
7 105 0x0000000000401146 0x0000000000401146 Y
8 END 0x0000000000401150 0x0000000000401150 Y
Notice that we gained an extra entry, the END marker that was added at
position #5 in the table.
Now, does this matter? I cannot find any bugs that trigger because of
this behaviour.
So why fix it? First, the current behaviour is inconsistent, as we
switch symtabs, we usually get an END marker in the previous symtab.
But occasionally we don't. I don't like things that are inconsistent
for no good reason. And second, as I said, I want to change the line
table parsing. To do this I want to check that my new parser creates
an identical table to the current parser. But my new parser naturally
"fixes" this inconsistency, so I have two choices, do extra work to
make my new parser bug-compatible with the current one, or fix the
current one. I'd prefer to just fix the current line table parser.
There's a test that includes the above example and checks that the END
markers are put in the correct place. But as I said, I've not been
able to trigger any negative behaviour from the current solution, so
there's no test that exposes any broken behaviour.

The current py-symbol.exp test makes an assumption about which symbol
will be returned first. I don't think gdb should really make promises
about the order in which the symbols are listed, though, and a series
I am working on changes this behavior. This patch changes the test to
merely ensure that both symbols are returned.
