Fix PR server/20414 - x32 gdbserver always crashes inferior
Debugging an x32 process with an x32 gdbserver always results in: (gdb) c Continuing. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xf7de9600 in _dl_debug_state () from target:/libx32/ld-linux-x32.so.2 (gdb) Looking at the remote debug logs reveals the problem, here: Packet received: T05swbreak:;06:a0d4ffff00000000;07:b8d3ffff00000000;10:0096def701000000;thread:p7d7a.7d7a;core:1; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The underlined value is the expedited value of RIP (in little endian). But notice that 01 in 0x01f7de9600, while gdb says the program stopped at 0xf7de9600. 0x01ffffffff is over 32 bits, which indicates that something wen't wrong somewhere in gdbserver. The problem turns out to be in gdbserver's x86_get_pc / x86_set_pc routines, where "unsigned long" is used assuming that it can fit a 64-bit value, while unsigned long is actually 32-bit on x32. The result is that collect_register_by_name / supply_register_by_name end up reading/writing random bytes off the stack. Fix this by using explicit uint64_t instead of unsigned long. For consistency, use uint32_t instead of unsigned int in the 32-bit paths. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2016-07-26 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR server/20414 * linux-x86-low.c (x86_get_pc, x86_set_pc): Use uint64_t instead of unsigned long for 64-bit registers and use uint32_t instead of unsigned int for 32-bit registers.
