Implement 'catch syscall' for gdbserver
This adds a new QCatchSyscalls packet to enable 'catch syscall', and new stop reasons "syscall_entry" and "syscall_return" for those events. It is currently only supported on Linux x86 and x86_64. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-01-12 Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com> Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * NEWS (Changes since GDB 7.10): Mention QCatchSyscalls and the syscall_entry and syscall_return stop reasons. Mention GDB support for remote catch syscall. * remote.c (PACKET_QCatchSyscalls): New enum. (remote_set_syscall_catchpoint): New function. (remote_protocol_features): New element for QCatchSyscalls. (remote_parse_stop_reply): Parse syscall_entry/return stops. (init_remote_ops): Install remote_set_syscall_catchpoint. (_initialize_remote): Config QCatchSyscalls. * linux-nat.h (struct lwp_info) <syscall_state>: Comment typo. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2016-01-12 Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com> Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): List the QCatchSyscalls packet. (Stop Reply Packets): List the syscall entry and return stop reasons. (General Query Packets): Describe QCatchSyscalls, and add it to the table and the detailed list of stub features. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2016-01-12 Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com> Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * inferiors.h: Include "gdb_vecs.h". (struct process_info): Add syscalls_to_catch. * inferiors.c (remove_process): Free syscalls_to_catch. * remote-utils.c (prepare_resume_reply): Report syscall_entry and syscall_return stops. * server.h (UNKNOWN_SYSCALL, ANY_SYSCALL): Define. * server.c (handle_general_set): Handle QCatchSyscalls. (handle_query): Report support for QCatchSyscalls. * target.h (struct target_ops): Add supports_catch_syscall. (target_supports_catch_syscall): New macro. * linux-low.h (struct linux_target_ops): Add get_syscall_trapinfo. (struct lwp_info): Add syscall_state. * linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Mark syscall_state as an entry. Maintain syscall_state and syscalls_to_catch across exec. (get_syscall_trapinfo): New function, proxy to the_low_target. (linux_low_ptrace_options): Enable PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD. (linux_low_filter_event): Toggle syscall_state entry/return for syscall traps, and set it ignored for all others. (gdb_catching_syscalls_p): New function. (gdb_catch_this_syscall_p): New function. (linux_wait_1): Handle SYSCALL_SIGTRAP. (linux_resume_one_lwp_throw): Add PTRACE_SYSCALL possibility. (linux_supports_catch_syscall): New function. (linux_target_ops): Install it. * linux-x86-low.c (x86_get_syscall_trapinfo): New function. (the_low_target): Install it. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-01-12 Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com> Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * gdb.base/catch-syscall.c (do_execve): New variable. (main): Conditionally trigger an execve. * gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp: Enable testing for remote targets. (test_catch_syscall_execve): New, check entry/return across execve. (do_syscall_tests): Call test_catch_syscall_execve.
