Fix buffer overflow regression due to minsym malloc-ed instead of obstack-ed.
Valgrind detects the following error in a bunch of tests, e.g. in gdb.base/foll-fork.exp. ==15155== VALGRIND_GDB_ERROR_BEGIN ==15155== Invalid read of size 8 ==15155== at 0x55BE04: minimal_symbol_upper_bound(bound_minimal_symbol) (minsyms.c:1504) ==15155== by 0x3B2E9C: find_pc_partial_function(unsigned long, char const**, unsigned long*, unsigned long*, block const**) (blockframe.c:340) ==15155== by 0x3B3135: find_function_entry_range_from_pc(unsigned long, char const**, unsigned long*, unsigned long*) (blockframe.c:385) ==15155== by 0x4F5597: fill_in_stop_func(gdbarch*, execution_control_state*) [clone .part.16] (infrun.c:4124) ==15155== by 0x4FBE01: fill_in_stop_func (infrun.c:7636) ==15155== by 0x4FBE01: process_event_stop_test(execution_control_state*) (infrun.c:6279) ... ==15155== Address 0x715bec8 is 0 bytes after a block of size 2,952 alloc'd ==15155== at 0x4C2E2B3: realloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:836) ==15155== by 0x405F2C: xrealloc (common-utils.c:62) ==15155== by 0x55BA4E: xresizevec<minimal_symbol> (poison.h:170) ==15155== by 0x55BA4E: minimal_symbol_reader::install() (minsyms.c:1399) ==15155== by 0x4981C7: elf_read_minimal_symbols (elfread.c:1165) ... This seems to be a regression created by: commit 042d75e42c5572f333e0e06dabd3c5c4afab486c Author: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> AuthorDate: Sat Mar 2 12:29:48 2019 -0700 Commit: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> CommitDate: Fri Mar 15 16:02:10 2019 -0600 Allocate minimal symbols with malloc Before this commit, the array of 'struct minimal_symbol' contained a last element that was a "null symbol". The comment in minimal_symbol_reader::install was: /* We also terminate the minimal symbol table with a "null symbol", which is *not* included in the size of the table. This makes it easier to find the end of the table when we are handed a pointer to some symbol in the middle of it. Zero out the fields in the "null symbol" allocated at the end of the array. Note that the symbol count does *not* include this null symbol, which is why it is indexed by mcount and not mcount-1. */ memset (&msymbols[mcount], 0, sizeof (struct minimal_symbol)); However, minimal_symbol_upper_bound was still based on the assumption that the array of minsym is terminated by a minsym with a null symbol: it is looping with: for (i = 1; MSYMBOL_LINKAGE_NAME (msymbol + i) != NULL; i++) Replace this NULL comparison by a logic that calculates how many msymbol are following the msymbols from which we are starting from. (Re-)tested on debian/amd64, natively and under valgrind. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-03-24 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * minsyms.c (minimal_symbol_upper_bound): Fix buffer overflow.
