Fix remaining inline/tailcall unwinding breakage for x86_64
Commit 5939967b355ba6a940887d19847b7893a4506067 fixed inline frame unwinding breakage for some targets (aarch64, riscv, s390...) but regressed a few amd64 testcases related to tailcalls. Given the following example situation... Frame #-1 - sentinel frame Frame # 0 - inline frame Frame # 1 - normal frame ... suppose we're at level #1 and call into dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first. We'll attempt to fetch PC, which used to be done via the gdbarch_unwind_pc call (before 5939967b355ba6a940887d19847b7893a4506067), but now it is being handled by the get_frame_register function. gdbarch_unwind_pc will attempt to use frame #1's cache to retrieve information about the PC. Here's where different architectures behave differently. x86_64 will find a dwarf rule to retrieve PC from memory, at a CFA + offset location. So the PC value is readily available and there is no need to create a lazy value. For aarch64 (and others), GCC doesn't emit an explicit location for PC, so we eventually will find that PC is DWARF2_FRAME_REG_UNSPECIFIED. This is known and is handled by GDB by assuming GCC really meant DWARF2_FRAME_REG_SAME_VALUE. This means we'll attempt to fetch the register value from frame #0, via a call to frame_unwind_got_register, which will trigger the creation of a lazy value that requires a valid frame id for frame #0. We don't have a valid id for frame #0 yet, so we assert. Given the above, the following patch attempts to handle the situation without being too hacky. We verify if the next frame is an inline frame and if its frame id has been computed already. If it hasn't been computed yet, then we use the safer get_frame_register function, otherwise we use the regular gdbarch_unwind_pc hook. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-04-27 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org> * dwarf2/frame-tailcall.c (dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first): Handle problematic inline frame unwinding situation. * frame.c (frame_id_computed_p): New function. * frame.h (frame_id_computed_p): New prototype.

+ according to dwarf rules.
+

+ DWARF2_FRAME_REG_SAME_VALUE). For such cases, GDB may attempt to
+ create lazy values for registers, and those lazy values must be
+ created with a valid frame id, but we potentially have no valid id.
+
+ So, to avoid breakage, if we see a dangerous situation with inline
+ frames without a computed id, use safer functions to retrieve the
