PR22576, ppc64_skip_trampoline_code uses wrong r2 for EXEC_REVERSE
The TOC pointer register, r2, on powerpc64 is generally not mentioned in debug info. It is saved and restored by call linkage code, and set to the callee value either by call stub code (ELFv1) or in the callee global entry point code (ELFv2). A call stub uses the caller TOC pointer to access the PLT. So for gdb to read the correct PLT entry in order to determine the destination of the trampoline, gdb needs to know the caller r2. When skipping over trampolines in the normal forward direction, the caller r2 is simply the current value of r2 (at the start of the trampoline). However, when reversing over trampolines the current value of r2 is that for the callee. Using that value results in wild reads of memory rather than the correct PLT entry. This patch corrects the value of r2 by using the value saved on the stack for reverse execution. Note that in reverse execution mode it isn't really necessary for skip_trampoline_code to return the actual destination, so we're doing a little more work than needed here. Any non-zero return value would do (and it would be nicer if the interface was changed to return the start of the stub). PR tdep/22576 * ppc64-tdep.c (ppc64_plt_entry_point): Rewrite to take TOC-relative PLT offset, and retrieve r2 from stack when executing in reverse. (ppc64_standard_linkage1_target): Drop pc param. Calculate offset rather than PLT address. (ppc64_standard_linkage2_target): Likewise. (ppc64_standard_linkage3_target): Likewise. (ppc64_standard_linkage4_target): Likewise. (ppc64_skip_trampoline_code_1): Adjust to suit.
