After running test-case gdb.python/py-color-leak.exp in a container where I
don't have PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE set, I get:
...
$ ls src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/__pycache__/
gdb_leak_detector.cpython-313.pyc
...
Fix this by setting sys.dont_write_bytecode to True in the python scripts
importing the module.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This adds a new "maint canonicalize" command that can be used to see
the canonical form of a C++ name. I've needed this a few times when
debugging gdb.

It would be useful to tell codespell to ignore blocks of code.
A feature ignore-multiline-regex exists, which can be used to implement this:
...
$ codespell --ignore-multiline-regex \
'codespell:ignore-begin.*codespell:ignore-end'
...
Unfortunately there's a bug in codespell where using -w in
combination with --ignore-multiline-regex drops all newlines in the updated
file.
In absence of a fix, commit this solution disabled, to locally document the
current state of this feature.

Now that we're using codespell to check spelling in gdb files, can we use
codespell to bring this spelling warning:
...
$ echo usuable | codespell -
1: usuable
usuable ==> usable
...
to:
...
$ git commit -a -m "Usuable stuff"
...
?
First, let's look at a straightforward commit-msg hook implementation:
...
- id: codespell
name: codespell-commit-msg
verbose: true
always_run: true
stages: [commit-msg]
...
installed using:
...
$ pre-commit install -t commit-msg
...
When trying the commit, we get:
...
$ echo "/* bla */" >> gdb/gdb.c
$ git commit -a -m "Usuable stuff"

$
...
The commit was aborted, but the commit message is still there:
...
$ cat .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
Usuable stuff
...
We can retry and edit the commit message to clean up the typo:
...
$ git commit -e -F .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG -a
...
but it's a bit cumbersome.
Furthermore, say we fix a typo and want to document this in the commit log, and
do:
...
$ git commit -m "Fixed typo: useable -> usable" -a
...
This commit cannot succeed, unless we add a codespell ignore tag, which feels
like taking it too far.
Both these problems can be addressed by setting things up in such a way that
the commit always succeeds, and codespell output is shown as a hint.
Ideally, we'd tell to pre-commit to implement this using some setting, but
there doesn't seem to be one.
So we use some indirection. Instead of using native codespell, use a local
hook that calls a script gdb/contrib/codespell-log.sh, which calls pre-commit,
which calls codespell.
Using this approach, we get:
...
$ echo "/* bla */" >> gdb/gdb.c
$ git commit -a -m "Usuable stuff"

This is obviously convoluted, but it works. Perhaps we can propose a
pre-commit improvement (always_pass) and simplify this eventually.

The recent commit dbbb9cfd3708a5b09b449c6cbc4d74dfec13904d added a
message using %ld to print an std::vector::size, which is of size_t
type. on 64 bit machines, size_t will be an unsigned long int, making
%ld work just fine, but on 32 bit ones, size_t will be unsigned int,
which causes the build to fail.
This commit fixes that by using %zu instead.

This changes update_enumeration_type_from_children to use the correct
sign-extension method on the attribute. The logic here is a bit
complicated: if the enum has an underlying type, then we use that
type's signed-ness to interpret attributes; otherwise we must assume
attributes are encoded as signed values.

This is just a small preliminary cleanup to use 'bool' in
update_enumeration_type_from_children.

dwarf2_const_value_data checks the size of the data like so:
if (bits < sizeof (*value) * 8)
...
else if (bits == sizeof (*value) * 8)
...
else
...
However, 'bits' can only be 8, 16, 32, or 64. And, because 'value' is
a LONGEST, which is alwasy 64-bit, the final 'else' can never be
taken.
This patch removes the dead code. And, because this was the only
reason for a non-void return value, the return type is changed as
well.

This changes dwarf2/read.c:get_mpz to use the correct sign-extension
function. Normally a rational constant uses signed values, but a
purely unsigned form also seems fine here. This adds a new
attribute::form_is_strictly_unsigned, which is more precise than
form_is_unsigned (which accepts a lot of forms that aren't really for
ordinary constants).

The script syscalls/riscv-canonicalize-syscall-gen.py has been recently
introduced to help support record-full in riscv systems. However, it
was developed before commit 432eca4113d5748ad284a068873455f9962b44fe,
which made the GDB enum more consistent, which forced the python script
to have a corner case for the "gdb_old_mmap" case.
Since the aforementioned commit has already been merged, we need to
update the special case for the mmap syscall. A special case is still
needed because the script would expect that the glibc sources call the
syscall "old_mmap", or that gdb call it "gdb_sys_mmap", neither of which
happens unfortunately.
This commit doesn't change the .c file because it was already fixed by a
different commit, 65ab41b7d5c612b6000b28f4c50bb256b2a9e22b, which was
pushed as obvious to fix the build issues.

This test exercises musl_link_map_to_tls_module_id() and
glibc_link_map_to_tls_module_id(), both of which are in solib-svr4.c.
Prior to writing this test, I had only written what is now named
'musl_link_map_to_tls_module_id' and it worked for both GLIBC and
MUSL. Once I wrote this new test, tls-dlobj.exp, there were a number
of tests which didn't work with GLIBC. This led me to write a
GLIBC-specific link map to module id function, i.e,
'glibc_link_map_to_tls_module_id'.
It only has one compilation scenario, in which the pthread(s) library
is used - as noted in a comment, it became too much of a hassle to try
to KFAIL things, though it certainly could have been done in much the
same was as was done in gdb.base/multiobj.exp. It didn't seem that
important to do so, however, since I believe that the other tests
have adequate coverage for different compilation scenarios.

This test exercises GDB's internal TLS support when both the main
program and several shared libraries have TLS variables. It also
tests existing (non-internal) TLS support too.
It tests using two compilation scenarios, "default", in which
libpthread is not linked with the program and libraries as well
as one which does use libpthread.
It tests link map address to module id mapping code in GDB
in addition to the ability of GDB to traverse TLS data structures
with several libraries in play.

This commit introduces a new test, gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp.
It has a test case, a C file, which has several TLS variables in the
main program, which, once compiled and linked, should end up (in ELF
files) in .tdata and .tbss. The test compiles the program in a number
of different ways, making sure that each variable is accessible
regardless of how it was compiled.
Note that some of the compilation scenarios end up with a statically
linked executable. Prior to this series of commits, accessing TLS
variables from a statically linked program on Linux did not work.
For certain targets (x86_64, aarch64, s390x, riscv, and ppc64),
all on Linux, support has been added to GDB for accessing thread
local storage in statically linked executables. This test is
important for testing those build scenarios.
But it's also important to make sure that GDB's internal TLS support
works for other scenarios too. In order to accomplish that, the
tests are also run in a mode which forces the internal support to
be used.
It also adds a new file, gdb.base/tls-common.exp.tcl, which includes
some common definitions used by the three new TLS tests, including
the one added by this commit. In particular, it sets a TCL variable,
'internal_tls_linux_targets' which list the targets mentioned earlier.
This means that as internal TLS support is added for other targets,
the target should be listed in just one file as opposed to three
(or more if other tests using tls-common.exp.tcl are added).

This commit shows how internal TLS address lookup support could
be implemented for the i386 target.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work due to I386_GSBASE_REGNUM being
unavailable for Linux targets. I looked at trying to access the
gsbase register via PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA, but did not understand
it well enough to finish it. Since the i386 target is much less
important than it used to be, I gave up working on it.
I don't want to leave this disabled code in our sources, so I
will delete it in the next commit, however, this commit will be
in our git repo, so it'll be available for someone with sufficient
interest in the i386 target to look at.

For each architecture, aarch64, x86_64, riscv, ppc64, and s390x,
this commit defines a suitable 'get_tls_dtv_addr' method and,
when necessary, a 'get_tls_dtp_offset' method.
It also registers svr4_tls_get_thread_local_address, defined in
svr4-tls-tdep.c (in an earlier commit), as the
get_thread_local_address gdbarch method. It also registers its
architecture specific code using svr4_tls_register_tls_methods().

This commit adds non-architecture-specific support for internal TLS
address lookup for targets which register their support with the new
file svr4-tls-tdep.c. By "internal", I mean support which does not
rely on libthread_db. Knowledge of how to traverse TLS data
structures is contained in this commit along with the next commit
containing architecture specific knowledge regarding TLS offsets,
registers, and such.
The new function 'svr4_tls_get_thread_local_address' is a gdbarch method.
It should be passed as an argument to
set_gdbarch_get_thread_local_address in architecture specific
<arch>-linux-tdep.c files which wish to offer internal TLS support.
The architecture specific tdep files need to define a get_tls_dtv_addr
method - as the name suggests, it needs to return the address of the
DTV (dynamic thread vector) via architecture specific means. This
usually entails fetching the thread pointer via a register or registers
assigned to this purpose, and then using that value to locate the
address of the DTV from within the TCB (thread control block).
Additionally, some architectures also need to provide a DTP offset,
which is used by the MUSL C library to adjust the value obtained
from a DTV entry to that of the start of the TLS block for a particular
thread. This is provided, when necessary, by a get_tls_dtp_offset
method.
Both methods, get_tls_dtv_addr and get_tls_dtp_offset, are registered
with data structures maintained by linux-tdep.c via the new function
svr4_tls_register_tls_methods(). Thus, for example, on RISC-V,
riscv_linux_init_abi() will make the following two calls, the first
for registering the internal get_thread_local_address gdbarch method
and the second for registering riscv-specific methods for obtaining
the DTV address and DTP offset:
set_gdbarch_get_thread_local_address (gdbarch,
svr4_tls_get_thread_local_address);
svr4_tls_register_tls_methods (info, gdbarch, riscv_linux_get_tls_dtv_addr,
riscv_linux_get_tls_dtp_offset);
Internal TLS support is provided for two C libraries, GLIBC, and MUSL.
Details for accessing the various TLS data structures differ between
these libraries. As a consequence, linux-tdep.h defines a new enum,
svr4_tls_libc, with values svr4_tls_libc_unknown, svr4_tls_libc_musl,
and svr4_tls_libc_glibc. A new static function libc_tls_sniffer uses
heuristics to (try to) decide whether a program was linked against
GLIBC or MUSL. Working out what the heuristics should be, especially
for statically linked binaries, turned out to be harder than I thought
it would be.
A new maintenance setting, force-internal-tls-address-lookup, has been
added, which, when set to 'on', will (as the name suggests) force the
internal TLS lookup mechanisms to be used. Otherwise, if thread_db
support is available (via the thread stratum), that will be preferred
since it should be more accurate. I expect that this setting will be
mostly used by test cases in the GDB test suite. The new test cases
that are part of this series all use it, with iterations using both
'on' and 'off' for all of the tests therein.

This commit adds, to solib-svr4.h and solib-svr4.c, functions
glibc_link_map_to_tls_module_id and musl_link_map_to_tls_module_id for
use with callers in a new file svr4-tls-tdep.c (which is not in this
commit). It adds a number of helper functions for implementing link
map to module id support.
It also renames existing function 'find_program_interpreter' to
'svr4_find_program_interpreter' and makes it visible to other source
files within GDB. It will be used in the libc sniffing code in
svr4-tls-tdep.c in a later commit in this series. The libc sniffer is
needed in order to know which link map to module id function to call
as the method for determining module ids differs between libc /
dynamic linker implementations. These details are discussed in
comments in the patch.

The patches later in the series add GDB-internal TLS support for
certain targets. This commit updates the "print foo" test in
gdb.server/no-thread-db.exp to accept either a TLS failure (when
libthread_db isn't available) or printing the correct answer, which
will occur when GDB's internal TLS address resolution can be used.
I'm making this change prior to the commits which actually add
the GDB-internal TLS support in order to avoid tripping regression

This commit fixes two bugs, one of which is Bug 25807, which occurs
when target_translate_tls_address() is called from
language_defn::read_var_value in findvar.c. I found it while testing on
aarch64; it turned a KFAIL for gdb.threads/tls.exp: print a_thread_local
into a FAIL due to a GDB internal error. Now, with this commit in place,
the KFAIL/FAIL turns into a PASS.
In addition to the existing test just noted, I've also added a test to
the new test case gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp. It'll be tested, using
different scenarios, up to 8 times:
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: default: force_internal_tls=false: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: default: force_internal_tls=true: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: static: force_internal_tls=false: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: static: force_internal_tls=true: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads: force_internal_tls=false: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads: force_internal_tls=true: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads-static: force_internal_tls=false: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads-static: force_internal_tls=true: after exit: print tls_tbss_1
There is a related problem that occurs when target_translate_tls_address
is called from find_minsym_type_and_address() in minsyms.c. It can be
observed when debugging a program without debugging symbols when the
program is not executing. I've written a new test for this, but it's
(also) included in the new test case gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp, found
later in this series. Depending on the target, it can run up to 8
times using different scenarios. E.g., on aarch64, I'm seeing these
PASSes, all of which test this change:
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: default: force_internal_tls=false: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: default: force_internal_tls=true: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: static: force_internal_tls=false: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: static: force_internal_tls=true: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads: force_internal_tls=false: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1

PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads-static: force_internal_tls=false: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1
PASS: gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp: pthreads-static: force_internal_tls=true: stripped: after exit: print (int) tls_tbss_1
In an earlier version of this commit (v4), I was checking whether the
target has registers in language_defn::read_var_value in findvar.c and
in find_minsym_type_and_address in minsyms.c, printing suitable error
messages in each case. In his review of this commit for the v4
series, Tom Tromey asked whether it would be better to do this check
in target_translate_tls_address. I had considered doing that for the
v4 (and earlier) series, but I wanted to print slightly different
messages at each check. Also, read_var_value in findvar.c was already
printing a message in some cases and I had arranged for the later
check in that function to match the original message.
However, while I had added a target-has-registers check at two of the
call sites for target_translate_tls_address, I hadn't added it at the
third call site which is in dwarf_expr_context::execute_stack_op() in
dwarf2/expr.c. I believe that in most cases, this is handled by the
early check in language_defn::read_var_value...
else if (sym_need == SYMBOL_NEEDS_REGISTERS && !target_has_registers ())
error (_("Cannot read `%s' without registers"), var->print_name ());
...but it's entirely possible that dwarf_expr_context::execute_stack_op()
might get called in some other context. So it makes sense to do the
target-has-registers check for that case too. And rather than add yet
another check at that call site, I decided that moving the check and
error message to target_translate_tls_address makes sense.
I had to make the error messages that it prints somewhat more generic.
In particular, when called from language_defn::read_var_value, the
message printed by target_translate_tls_address no longer matches the
earlier message that could be printed (as shown above). That meant
that the test cases which check for this message, gdb.threads/tls.exp,
and gdb.base/tls-nothreads.exp had to be adjusted to account for the
new message. Also, I think it's valuable to the user to know (if
possible) the name of the variable that caused the error, so I've
added an optional parameter to target_translate_tls_address, providing
the name of the variable, if it's known. Therefore, the message
that's printed when the target-has-registers test fails is one of the
following:
When the TLS variable isn't known (due to being called from
dwarf_expr_context::execute_stack_op):
"Cannot translate TLS address without registers"
When the TLS variable is known (from either of the other two call sites
for target_translate_tls_address):
"Cannot find address of TLS symbol `%s' without registers"

Completing fields inside an anonymous struct does not work. With:
struct commit_counters_hot {
union {
struct {
long owner;
};
char padding[16];
};
};
I get:
(gdb) complete print cc_hot.
print cc_hot.padding
After this patch, I get:
(gdb) complete print cc_hot.
print cc_hot.owner
print cc_hot.padding
Update break1.c to include an anonymous struct. The tests that complete
"z_field" inside gdb.base/completion.exp would start to fail without the
fix.

This commit adds some remote argument passing unit tests. There are
not many tests right now -- there are known bugs in the remote
argument passing mechanism (see PR gdb/28392) -- but some simple cases
are covered here, and I plan to add additional tests once I've fixed
more of the problems with the existing argument handling code.
The tests take an inferior argument string, this is the string that
GDB would carry around as inferior::m_args. This string is then split
using gdb::remote_args::split, this gives a vector of strings, these
are the strings that are passed over the remote protocol. These split
strings are validated as part of the test.
The split strings are then combined using gdb::remote_args::join which
gives the inferior argument string that gdbserver will use, this is
held in server.cc as program_args, this joined string is then checked
as part of the test.
There are no changes to GDB's behaviour as part of this commit, other
than adding the new tests which can be run with:
(gdb) maintenance selftest remote-args

This is a refactoring commit. When passing inferior arguments to
gdbserver we have two actions that need to be performed, splitting and
joining.
On the GDB side, we take the inferior arguments, a single string, and
split the string into a list of individual arguments. These are then
sent to gdbserver over the remote protocol.
On the gdbserver side we receive the list of individual arguments and
join these back together into a single inferior argument string.
In the next commit I plan to add some unit testing for this remote
argument passing process. Ideally, for unit testing, we need the code
being tested to be located in some easily callable function, rather
than being inline at the site of use.
So in this commit I propose to move the splitting and joining logic
out into a separate file, we can then use this within GDB and
gdbserver when passing arguments between GDB and gdbserver, but we can
also call the same functions for some unit testing.
In this commit I'm not adding the unit tests, they will be added next,
so for now there should be no user visible changes after this commit.

GDB's Python documentation does make it clear that keywords arguments
are supported for functions that take 2 or more arguments. The
documentation makes no promise for keyword argument support on
functions that only take a single argument.
That said, I'm a fan of keyword arguments, I think they help document
the code, and make intentions clearer, even for single argument
functions.
As I'm changing gdb.Color anyway (see previous commit), I'd like to
add keyword argument support to gdb.Color.escape_sequence, even though
this is a single argument method. This should be harmless for anyone
who doesn't want to use keywords, but adds the option for those of us
that do.
I've also removed a redundant check that the 'self' argument was a
gdb.Color object; Python already ensures this is the case.
And I have folded the check that the single argument is a bool into
the gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords call, this means that the error
message will include the incorrect type name now, which should make
debugging issues easier.
Tests have been extended to cover both cases -- it appears the
incorrect argument type error was not previously tested, so it is
now.

GDB's Python API documentation is clear:
Functions and methods which have two or more optional arguments allow
them to be specified using keyword syntax.
The gdb.Color.__init__ method matches this description, but doesn't
support keyword arguments.
This commit fixes this by adding keyword argument support.
There's a new test to cover this functionality.

While reading through the documentation for the new gdb.Color class I
spotted a couple of things which I thought could be improved:
* I replaced @code{Color} with @code{gdb.Color}. Most of the other
classes are referenced with the 'gdb.' prefix, so this makes
gdb.Color consistent. Including the 'gdb.' prefix makes it far
easier to search the documentation to find relevant content. And
finally, my understanding is that usually in Python code, the
class would be written as 'gdb.Color' unless the user specifically
pulls 'Color' into the current scope using 'from gdb import
Color'.
* Replace 'colorspace' with 'color space'. There was already a use
of the two word form in the documentation (for gdb.Color), so this
just makes things consistent.
* Removed use of @var on two @defun lines. No other @defun lines
use @var, so the use of @var here was making the output
inconsistent, e.g. in the 'info' output, @var causes the string to
be capitalised.
* Rename the 'color-space' argument to 'color_space' for
Color.__init__. In the next commit I plan to add Python keyword
argument support to this function, which means the argument name
needs to be a valid keyword (i.e. must not contain the '-'
character).
* Added a pointer to where the @samp{COLORSPACE_} constants can be
found. These constants are referenced before they are defined in
the documentation, which is fine, but I think it is a good idea to
let the user know where the constants can be found when we first
reference them.
* Remove use of 'self' for the Color.escape_sequence documentation.
There are a few functions that do include 'self' as an argument (I
think this is a mistake) but the vast majority don't. I think not
including 'self' is the better approach; a user wouldn't be
expected to explicitly pass 'self', this is done automatically by
Python as a result of calling the method on an object. So I've
removed the reference to 'self' from this method.

I've been reviewing all uses of PyObject_IsInstance, and I believe
that the use of PyObject_IsInstance in py-unwind.c is not entirely
correct. The use of PyObject_IsInstance is in this code in
frame_unwind_python::sniff:
if (PyObject_IsInstance (pyo_unwind_info,
(PyObject *) &unwind_info_object_type) <= 0)
error (_("A Unwinder should return gdb.UnwindInfo instance."));
The problem is that PyObject_IsInstance can return -1 to indicate an
error, in which case a Python error will have been set. Now, the
above code appears to handle this case, it checks for '<= 0', however,
frame_unwind_python::sniff has this near the start:
gdbpy_enter enter_py (gdbarch);
And looking in python.c at 'gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter ()', you'll
notice that if an error is set then the error is printed, but also, we
get a warning about an unhandled Python exception. Clearly, all
exceptions should have been handled by the time the gdbpy_enter
destructor is called.
I've added a test as part of this commit that exposes this problem,
the current output is:
(gdb) backtrace
Python Exception <class 'RuntimeError'>: error in Blah.__class__
warning: internal error: Unhandled Python exception
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: A Unwinder should return gdb.UnwindInfo instance.
#0 corrupt_frame_inner () at /home/andrew/projects/binutils-gdb/build.dev-g/gdb/testsuite/../../../src.dev-g/gdb/test>
(gdb)
An additional observation is that we use PyObject_IsInstance to check
that the return value is a gdb.UnwindInfo, or a sub-class. However,
gdb.UnwindInfo lacks the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag, and so cannot be
sub-classed. As such, PyObject_IsInstance is not really needed, we
could use PyObject_TypeCheck instead. The PyObject_TypeCheck function
only returns 0 or 1, there is no -1 error case. Switching to
PyObject_TypeCheck then, fixes the above problem.
There's a new test that exposes the problems that originally existed.

In python/py-registers.c we make use of PyObject_IsInstance. The
PyObject_IsInstance can return -1 for an error, 0 for false, or 1 for
true.
In py-registers.c we treat the return value from PyObject_IsInstance
as a boolean, which means both -1 and 1 will be treated as true.
If PyObject_IsInstance returns -1 for an error, this will be treated
as true, we will then invoke undefined behaviour as the pyo_reg_id
object will be treated as a gdb.RegisterDescriptor, even though it
might not be.
I noticed that the gdb.RegisterDescriptor class does not have the
Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag, and therefore cannot be inherited from. As
such, using PyObject_IsInstance is not necessary, we can use
PyObject_TypeCheck instead. The PyObject_TypeCheck function only
returns 0 or 1, so we don't need to worry about the error case.

Because it runs so many variations, the test
gdb.dwarf2/macro-source-path.exp takes about 2:40 minutes to run for me,
in a non-optimized build. These days I often run all tests under
gdb.dwarf2, as a sanity test for my changes, and so I often have to wait
for this test to complete.
Split the test, to allow it to complete faster when running the
testsuite in parallel. After this patch, running all the
gdb.dwarf2/macro-source-path-*.exp tests in parallel takes me about 1
minute. It's more that I would expect, I would expect the time to be
divided by nearly 5, but it's already better than what we have now.

When I (Guinevere) pushed commit
b9c7eed0c2409fc640129a38d80a2bf1212b464a I accidentally used an outdated

patch based on the actually approved version instead.

Cannot execute this command while the selected thread is running.

...
Fix this by waiting for "Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt" after
issuing the interrupt command.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

The gdbpy_is_color function uses PyObject_IsInstance, and converts the
return from PyObject_IsInstance to a bool.
Unfortunately, PyObject_IsInstance can return -1, 0, or 1, for error,
failure, or success respectively. When converting to a bool both -1
and 1 will convert to true.
Additionally, when PyObject_IsInstance returns -1 an error will be
set.
What this means is that, if gdbpy_is_color is called with a non
gdb.Color object, and the PyObject_IsInstance check raises an error,
then (a) GDB will continue as if the object is a gdb.Color object,
which is likely going to invoke undefined behaviour, see
gdbpy_get_color for example, and (b) when GDB eventually returns to
the Python interpreter, due to an error being set, we'll see:
Python Exception <class 'SystemError'>: PyEval_EvalFrameEx returned a result with an error set
Error occurred in Python: PyEval_EvalFrameEx returned a result with an error set
However, after the previous commit, gdb.Color can no longer be
sub-classed, this means that fixing the above problems is easy, we can
replace the PyObject_IsInstance check with a PyObject_TypeCheck, the
PyObject_TypeCheck function only returns 0 or 1, there's no -1 error
case.
It's also worth noting that PyObject_TypeCheck is the function that is
more commonly used within GDB's Python API implementation, include the
py-color.c use there were only 4 PyObject_IsInstance uses. Of the
remaining 3, 2 are fine, and one other (in py-disasm.c) is also
wrong. I'll address that in a separate patch.
There's also a new test included which exposes the above issue.

Remove the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag from the gdb.Color type. This
effectively makes gdb.Color final; users can no longer create classes
that inherit from gdb.Color.
Right now I cannot think of any cases where inheritance would be
needed over composition for a simple type like gdb.Color. If I'm
wrong, then it's easy to add Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE back in later, this
would be an extension of the API. But it's much harder to remove the
flag later as that might break existing user code (note: there has
been no release of GDB yet that includes the gdb.Color type).
Introducing this restriction makes the next commit easier.

The PyObject_IsInstance function can return -1 for errors, 0 to
indicate false, and 1 to indicate true.
I noticed in python/py-disasm.c that we treat the result of
PyObject_IsInstance as a bool. This means that if PyObject_IsInstance
returns -1, then this will be treated as true. The consequence of
this is that we will invoke undefined behaviour by treating the result
from the _print_insn call as if it was a DisassemblerResult object,
even though PyObject_IsInstance raised an error, and the result might
not be of the required type.
I could fix this by taking the -1 result into account, however,
gdb.DisassemblerResult cannot be sub-classed, the type doesn't have
the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag. As such, we can switch to using
PyObject_TypeCheck instead, which only return 0 or 1, with no error
case.
I have also taken the opportunity to improve the error message emitted
if the result has the wrong type. Better error message make debugging
issues easier.
I've added a test which exposes the problem when using
PyObject_IsInstance, and I've updated the existing test for the
improved error message.

Commit b9c7eed0c2409fc640129a38d80a2bf1212b464a recently introduced
a build failure, because the file gdb/riscv-canonicalize-syscall-gen.c
hasn't been added to the ALL_64_TARGET_OBS variable in the makefile,
leading to a linker issue. This commit fixes that.
Also, turns out, the new file was slightly outdated, as the gdb_old_mmap
syscall has been renamed to gdb_sys_old_mmap in commit
432eca4113d5748ad284a068873455f9962b44fe. This commit also fixes that
on the generated file itself, to quickly fix the build. A followup
commit will fix the python file responsible for generating the .c file.
