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.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 40.

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

│ ├── lp64_svr4_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.

For operations that concern a single solib, use the solib_ops backlink
added in the previous patch (solib::ops), instead of using the solib_ops
from the gdbarch. This is a small / easy step towards not using
gdbarch_so_ops, which is necessary for the C++ification patch later in
this series.
There is no change in behavior expected.

is instantiated for each program space. For some operations, it will
then become necessary to be able to get the right solib_ops instance
from a given solib. Add an solib -> solib_ops backlink for that.

running don't crash
While writing my solib_ops C++ification series, I broke this, and it
didn't seem to be caught by the testsuite. Add a test for those.
The exact message for "info linker-namespaces" varies depending on the
solib_ops of the target architecture (whether ops->num_active_namespaces
is nullptr or not). For now, just accept any message (a crash will
still be caught). A later patch in this series will make the message
consistent and update this test.

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

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.

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"

"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.

Compilers can put a sequence aligning the stack at the entry of a
function. However with -fcf-protection enabled, "endbr64" is
generated before. Current implementation of amd64 prologue analyzer
first checks for stack alignment and then for "endbr64", which is not
correct. This behavior was introduced with patch "gdb: handle endbr64
instruction in amd64_analyze_prologue". In case both are generated,
prologue will not be skipped. This patch swaps the order so that
"endbr64" is checked first and adds a regression test. i386-tdep
implementation also already had those checked in the correct order,
that is stack alignment is after endbr64.
Given such source compiled with gcc 11.4.0 via:
gcc -O0 main.c -o main
```
#include <alloca.h>
void
foo (int id)
{
volatile __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (64))) int a;
volatile char *p = (char *) alloca (id * 12);
p[2] = 'b';
}
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
foo (argc + 1);
return 1;
}
```
we get such function entry for foo (generated with objdump -d):
```

Update the make-check-all.sh script to use TESTS rather than passing
the test names within RUNTESTFLAGS. This addresses the following
issue:
I was running some tests like this:
make -C gdb check-all-boards TESTS="gdb.base/break*.exp"
And I was finding that I would get lots of DUPLICATE test results,
which is not what I expected.
What's happening here is that the 'make check-all-boards' rule runs
the 'make-check-all.sh' script, which then runs 'make check' with
various board files.
However, passing TESTS=... to the initial 'make check-all-boards'
command invocation automatically causes the TESTS value to be added to
the MAKEFLAGS environment variable, this is then picked up by the
later calls to 'make check'.
Now, in GDB's testfile/Makefile, we check for TESTS, and if this is
set, we expand the value and set `expanded_tests_or_none`. Otherwise,
if TESTS is not set, expanded_tests_or_none is left empty.
Finally, when handling 'make check', the value of
`expanded_tests_or_none` is passed through to dejagnu, along with the
RUNTESTFLAGS value.
What this means is that, when make-check-all.sh passes the test names
in the RUNTESTFLAGS, then dejagnu ends up seeing the list of tests
twice, once from RUNTESTFLAGS, and once from expanded_tests_or_none,
and this is why I was seeing duplicate testnames.
The easiest fix for the above is to have make-check-all.sh pass the
test names using TESTS="...", this will override the TESTS="..." value
already present in MAKEFLAGS, and means dejagnu will see the test
names just once.
Additionally, this is a start towards allowing parallel test running
from the make-check-all.sh script. Parallel test running only works
if the test names are passed in TESTS, and not in RUNTESTFLAGS.
Currently, in testsuite/Makefile, if RUNTESTFLAGS is not empty, then
we force single threaded test running. But with this change, at least
for the `local` board, we can now benefit from multi-threaded test
running, as this board has an empty RUNTESTFLAGS now. For the other
boards we'd need to set FORCE_PARALLEL in order to benefit from
parallel test running, but we'll need to double check that all the
board files actually support parallel test running first, so I'm
leaving that for another day.

This commit adds filename completion for the shell command part of
the pipe command. This is a follow on from this commit:
commit 036e5c0c9121d0ac691dbf408a3bdf2bf3501d0f

gdb: use quoted filename completion for the shell command
which fixed the completion for the 'shell' command itself.
Like with the 'shell' command, we don't offer completions of command
names pulled from $PATH, we just offer filename completion, which is
often useful for arguments being passed to commands. Maybe in the
future we could add completion for command names too (for both 'pipe'
and the 'shell' command), but that is left for a future commit.
There's some additional testing.

The use of user namespaces is required for normal users to use mount
namespaces. Consider trying this as an unprivileged user:
$ unshare --mount /bin/true
unshare: unshare failed: Operation not permitted
The problem here is that an unprivileged user doesn't have the
required permissions to create a new mount namespace. If, instead, we
do this:
$ unshare --mount --map-root-user /bin/true
then this will succeed. The new option causes unshare to create a
user namespace in which the unprivileged user is mapped to UID/GID 0,
and so gains all privileges (inside the namespace), the user is then
able to create the mount namespace as required.
So, how does this relate to GDB?
When a user attaches to a process running in a separate mount
namespace, GDB makes use of a separate helper process (see
linux_mntns_get_helper in nat/linux-namespaces.c), which will then use
the `setns` function to enter (or try to enter) the mount namespace of
the process GDB is attaching too. The helper process will then handle
file I/O requests received from GDB, and return the results back to
GDB, this allows GDB to access files within the mount namespace.
The problem here is that, switching to a mount namespace requires that
a process hold CAP_SYS_CHROOT and CAP_SYS_ADMIN capabilities within
its user namespace (actually it's a little more complex, see 'man 2
setns'). Assuming GDB is running as an unprivileged user, then GDB
will not have the required permissions.
However, if GDB enters the user namespace that the `unshare` process
created, then the current user will be mapped to UID/GID 0, and will
have the required permissions.
And so, this patch extends linux_mntns_access_fs (in
nat/linux-namespace.c) to first try and switch to the user namespace
of the inferior before trying to switch to the mount namespace. If
the inferior does have a user namespace, and does have elevated
privileges within that namespace, then this first switch by GDB will
mean that the second step, into the mount namespace, will succeed.
If there is no user namespace, or the inferior doesn't have elevated
privileges within the user namespace, then the switch into the mount
namespace will fail, just as it currently does, and the user will need
to give elevated privileges to GDB via some other mechanism (e.g. run
as root).

work and interact. The above is my attempt to document what I now

This commit works around a problem introduced by commit:
commit e58beedf2c8a1e0c78e0f57aeab3934de9416bfc
Date: Tue Jan 23 16:00:59 2024 +0000
gdb: attach to a process when the executable has been deleted
The above commit extended GDB for Linux, so that, of the executable
for a process had been deleted, GDB would instead try to use
/proc/PID/exe as the executable.
This worked by updating linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file to introduce the
/proc/PID/exe fallback. However, the result of
linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file is then passed to exec_file_find to
actually find the executable, and exec_file_find, will take into
account the sysroot. In addition, if GDB is attaching to a process in
a different MNT and/or PID namespace then the executable lookup is
done within that namespace.
This all means two things:
1. Just because linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file cannot see the
executable doesn't mean that GDB is actually going to fail to
find the executable, and
2. returning /proc/PID/exe isn't useful if we know GDB is then going
to look for this within a sysroot, or within some other
namespace (where PIDs might be different).
There was an initial attempt to fix this issue here:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20250511141517.2455092-4-kilger@sec.in.tum.de/
This proposal addresses the issue in PR gdb/32955, which is all about
the namespace side of the problem. The fix in this original proposal
is to check the MNT namespace inside linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file, and
for the namespace problem this is fine. But we should also consider
the sysroot problem.
And for the sysroot problem, the fix cannot fully live inside
linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file, as linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file is shared
between GDB and gdbserver, and gdbserver has no sysroot.
And so, I propose a slightly bigger change.
Now, linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file takes a flag which indicates if
GDB (or gdbserver) will look for the inferior executable in the
local file system, where local means the same file system as GDB (or
gdbserver) is running in.
This local file system check is true if:
1. The MNT namespace of the inferior is the same as for GDB, and
2. for GDB only, the sysroot must either be empty, or 'target:'.
If the local file system check is false then GDB (or gdbserver) is
going to look elsewhere for the inferior executable, and so, falling
back to /proc/PID/exe should not be done, as GDB will end up looking
for this file in the sysroot, or within the alternative MNT
namespace (which in also likely to be a different PID namespace).
Now this is all a bit of a shame really. It would be nice if
linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file could return /proc/PID/exe in such a way
that exec_file_find would know that the file should NOT be looked for
in the sysroot, or in the alternative namespace. But fixing that
problem would be a much bigger change, so for now lets just disable
the /proc/PID/exe fallback for cases where it might not work.
For testing, the sysroot case is now tested.
I don't believe we have any alternative namespace testing. It would
certainly be interesting to add some, but I'm not proposing any with
this patch, so the code for checking the MNT namespace has been tested
manually by me, but isn't covered by a new test I'm adding here.
Author of the original fix is listed as co-author here. Credit for
identifying the original problem, and proposing a solution belongs to
them.

Currently, when attaching to a process, if the user hasn't told GDB
which executable they are going to be debugging, GDB will try to
figure out the executable from the running process.
There are two (for this patch) interesting places where this can fail,
both in exec_file_locate_attach.
First GDB calls target_pid_to_exec_file, this does target specific
"stuff" to find the name of the executable file. If this returns NULL
then GDB will give a warning and return.
After this we need to "find" the executable. This is where we apply
things like the sysroot in order to transform the executable path.
This is done by calling exec_file_find, and this too can return NULL
to indicate that the executable couldn't be found.
Currently, if exec_file_find returns NULL then GDB doesn't give a
warning, instead we push on and call try_open_exec_file passing in the
NULL pointer as the filename string. This has the effect of removing
the current executable from the current program space.
However, exec_file_locate_attach already checks there is no executable
attached to the current program space. If there was, then there would
be no need to try and lookup the executable from the running process.
So calling try_open_exec_file with a NULL string is, I claim,
pointless.
But worse, calling try_open_exec_file with a NULL string means that
GDB prints the message: "No executable file now.", which, while
correct, isn't (I think) very helpful. To me this message indicates
that we've moved from a state of having an executable to a state of
not having one, which isn't correct.
I think we should introduce a new warning in exec_file_locate_attach,
which is printed if the executable cannot be found.
So, before this patch GDB's output looked like this:
(gdb) attach 12345
Attaching to process 12345
No executable file now.
warning: Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
0x00007f0978b94557 in ?? ()
(gdb)
After this patch the output now looks like this:
(gdb) attach 12345
Attaching to process 12345
No executable has been specified, and target executable /tmp/my-exec (deleted) could not be found. Try using the "file" command.
warning: Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
0x00007f0978b94557 in ?? ()
(gdb)
This warning includes the name of the file that GDB was looking for,
and gives a hint that the 'file' command should be used to tell GDB
which executable is being debugged. Much better.
There's no test for this change in this commit. The next commit fixes
another (semi-related) bug, and includes a test that checks for this
warning string.

This commit continues the work of the previous two commits.
In the following commits I added the target_fileio_stat function, and
the target_ops::fileio_stat member function:
* 08a115cc1c4 gdb: add target_fileio_stat, but no implementations yet
* 3055e3d2f13 gdb: add GDB side target_ops::fileio_stat implementation
* 6d45af96ea5 gdbserver: add gdbserver support for vFile::stat packet
* 22836ca8859 gdb: check for multiple matching build-id files
Unfortunately I messed up, despite being called 'stat' these function
actually performed an 'lstat'. The 'lstat' is the correct (required)
implementation, it's the naming that is wrong.
Additionally, to support remote targets, these commit added the
vFile::stat packet, which again, performed an 'lstat'.
In the previous two commits I changed the GDB code to replace 'stat'
with 'lstat' in the fileio function names. I then added a new
vFile:lstat packet which GDB now uses instead of vFile:stat.
And that just leaves the vFile:stat packet which is, right now,
performing an 'lstat'.
Now, clearly when I wrote this code I fully intended for this packet
to perform an lstat, it's the lstat that I needed. But now, I think,
we should "fix" vFile:stat to actually perform a 'stat'.
This is risky. This is a change in remote protocol behaviour.
Reasons why this might be OK:
- vFile:stat was only added in GDB 16, so it's not been "in the
wild" for too long yet. If we're quick, we might be able to "fix"
this before anyone realises I messed up.
- The documentation for vFile:stat is pretty vague. It certainly
doesn't explicitly say "this does an lstat". Most implementers
would (I think), given the name, start by assuming this should be
a 'stat' (given the name). Only if they ran the full GDB
testsuite, or examined GDB's implementation, would they know to
use lstat.
Reasons why this might not be OK:
- Some other debug client could be connecting to gdbserver, sending
vFile:stat and expecting to get lstat behaviour. This would break
after this patch.
- Some other remote server might have implemented vFile:stat
support, and either figured out, or copied, the lstat behaviour
from gdbserver. This remote server would technically be wrong
after this commit, but as GDB no longer uses vFile:stat, then this
will only become a problem if/when GDB or some other client starts
to use vFile:stat in the future.
Given the vague documentation for vFile:stat, and that it was only
added in GDB 16, I think we should fix it now to perform a 'stat', and
that is what this commit does.
The change in behaviour is documented in the NEWS file. I've improved
the vFile:stat documentation in the manual to better explain what is
expected from this packet, and I've extended the existing test to
cover vFile:stat.

In the following commits I added the target_fileio_stat function, and
the target_ops::fileio_stat member function:
* 08a115cc1c4 gdb: add target_fileio_stat, but no implementations yet
* 3055e3d2f13 gdb: add GDB side target_ops::fileio_stat implementation
* 6d45af96ea5 gdbserver: add gdbserver support for vFile::stat packet
* 22836ca8859 gdb: check for multiple matching build-id files
Unfortunately I messed up, despite being called 'stat' these function
actually performed an 'lstat'. The 'lstat' is the correct (required)
implementation, it's the naming that is wrong.
In the previous commit I fixed the naming within GDB, renaming 'stat'
to 'lstat' throughout.
However, in order to support target_fileio_stat (as was) on remote
targets, the above patches added the vFile:stat packet, which actually
performed an 'lstat' call. This is really quite unfortunate, and I'd
like to do as much as I can to try and clean up this mess. But I'm
mindful that changing packets is not really the done thing.
So, this commit doesn't change anything.
Instead, this commit adds vFile:lstat as a new packet.
Currently, this packet is handled identically as vFile:stat, the
packet performs an 'lstat' call.
I then update GDB to send the new vFile:lstat instead of vFile:stat
for the remote_target::fileio_lstat implementation.
After this commit GDB will never send the vFile:stat packet.
However, I have retained the 'set remote hostio-stat-packet' control
flag, just in case someone was trying to set this somewhere.
Then there's one test in the testsuite which used to disable the
vFile:stat packet, that test is updated to now disable vFile:lstat.
There's a new test that does a more direct test of vFile:lstat. This
new test can be extended to also test vFile:stat, but that is left for
the next commit.
And so, after this commit, GDB sends the new vFile:lstat packet in
order to implement target_ops::fileio_lstat. The new packet is more
clearly documented than vFile:stat is. But critically, this change
doesn't risk breaking any other clients or servers that implement
GDB's remote protocol.

Unfortunately, I messed up when adding this API. The actual
underlying call is lstat, not stat.
This commit tries to clear up some of the confusion by renaming things
to target_fileio_lstat and target_ops::fileio_lstat.
After this change the function names now match the underlying
implementation.
One problem remains though. In order to support target_fileio_stat
for remote target the above patches added the vFile:stat packet to GDB
and gdbserver. The implementation of this packet still does an lstat
though, which is a bit of a shame. I'm going to try and fix that in
later commits.
This commit is just a rename within GDB, there should be no user
visible changes.

With MSYS2 and test-case gdb.ada/assign_1.exp, we get:
...
(gdb) dir^M
Reinitialize source path to empty? (y or n) \
[answered Y; input not from terminal]^M^M
Source directories searched: $cdir;$cwd^M^M
(gdb)
...
GDB automatically answers the query, because interactive-mode is off:
...
(gdb) show interactive-mode^M
Debugger's interactive mode is auto (currently off).^M^M
...
The correct value is on, because GDB was started in a terminal.
For some reason, the auto value of interactive-mode is off instead. According
to this patch [1], gdb doesn't recognize the pipes used by DejaGnu testsuite
as an interactive setup.
Fix this by adding "set interactive-mode on" to INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS, such that
we get:
...
(gdb) dir^M
Reinitialize source path to empty? (y or n) y^M
Source directories searched: $cdir;$cwd^M^M
(gdb)
...
and no longer need fixes like commit be740e7cc62 ("testsuite: skip
confirmation in 'gdb_reinitialize_dir'")
The fix is essentially the same as in aforementioned patch.
For consistency, we apply the fix for all platforms.

With MSYS2 and default TERM=xterm-256color (as well as with xterm and ansi), I
get:
...
builtin_spawn gdb -q ...
^[[6n(gdb) ERROR: GDB never initialized.
...
This is not specific to gdb, other tools produce the same CSI sequence, and
consequently we run into trouble in other places (like get_compiler_info).
Fix this by default-setting TERM to dumb.
We do this for all platforms, to avoid test-cases passing on one platform but
failing on another.
For test-cases that set TERM to something other than dumb, handle the CSI
sequence in default_gdb_start.

Recent GDB commits added more features related to linker namespaces and
documented them on the manual, but did not add a convenient way for a
user to understand what they are. This commit adds a quick explanation
of what they are.
It also fixes the inconsistency of using "linker namespaces" and
"linkage namespaces", by always using the first form to avoid user
confusion.

amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::check_status
ROCgdb handles target events very slowly when running a test case like
this, where a breakpoint is preset on HipTest::vectorADD:
for (int i=0; i < numDevices; ++i) {
HIPCHECK(hipSetDevice(i));
hipLaunchKernelGGL(HipTest::vectorADD, dim3(blocks), dim3(threadsPerBlock), 0, stream[i],
static_cast<const int*>(A_d[i]), static_cast<const int*>(B_d[i]), C_d[i], N);
}
What happens is:
- A kernel is launched
- The internal runtime breakpoint is hit during the second
hipLaunchKernelGGL call, which causes
amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::check_status to be called
- Meanwhile, all waves of the kernel hit the breakpoint on vectorADD
- amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::check_status calls process_event_queue,
which pulls the thousand of breakpoint hit events from the kernel
- As part of handling the breakpoint hit events, we write the PC of the
waves that stopped to decrement it. Because the forward progress
requirement is not disabled, this causes a suspend/resume of the
queue each time, which is time-consuming.
The stack trace where this all happens is:

Fix that performance problem by disabling the forward progress
requirement in amd_dbgapi_target_breakpoint::check_status, before
calling process_event_queue, so that we can process all events
efficiently.
Since the same performance problem could theoritically happen any time
process_event_queue is called with forward progress requirement enabled,
add an assert to ensure that forward progress requirement is disabled
when process_event_queue is invoked. This makes it necessary to add a
require_forward_progress call to amd_dbgapi_finalize_core_attach. It
looks a bit strange, since core files don't have execution, but it
doesn't hurt.
Add a test that replicates this scenario. The test launches a kernel
that hits a breakpoint (with an always false condition) repeatedly.
Meanwhile, the host process loads an unloads a code object, causing
check_status to be called.

Pass the amd_dbgapi_inferior_info object from process_event_queue to
process_one_event. Since process_event_queue pulls events for one
specific inferior, we know for which inferior the event is. This
removes the need for process_one_event to do two dbgapi calls to get the
relevant pid. If also removes one inferior lookup.
