Make ftrace tests work with remote targets
When we build a shared library for testing, it is built differently whether it is meant for the local system or a remote one. When it is for the local system, the library is built with no SONAME. So when the executable is built, roughly in this way: $ gcc testfile.c /path/to/library.so the executable will contain an absolute reference to the library. For example: $ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared | grep NEEDED 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [/home/emaisin/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared-sl.sl] When testing is done remotely, the absolute path obviously doesn't work. Therefore, we build the library with an SONAME: $ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared-sl.sl | grep SONAME 0x000000000000000e (SONAME) Library soname: [py-shared-sl.sl] which ends up in the executable's NEEDED field: $ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared | grep NEEDED 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [py-shared-sl.sl] The executable and the library are then uploaded side-by-side on the remote system. To allow the dynamic linker to find the shared library, we have to add the special RPATH value $ORIGIN, which tells it to search in the executable's directory: $ readelf -a testsuite/gdb.python/py-shared | grep ORIGIN 0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [$ORIGIN] The problem with the IPA library is that it doesn't have an SONAME, making it very difficult to do testing on a remote board. When a test executable is linked with it, it contains an absolute reference to the library path. Therefore, unless the paths on the target are the same as on the build system, it won't work. To make it possible for tests using the IPA library to run test on remote boards, I suggest adding an SONAME to libinproctrace.so. I don't think it should be a big problem for users. All the libraries installed on my system have an SONAME, so it should be fine if libinproctrace.so does too. As a consequence, native testing does not work anymore, since executables do not contain the absolute path to the library anymore. To keep them working, we can have gdb_load_shlibs copy the library to the test directory when testing natively. That's done by modifying gdb_load_shlibs. We also have to add RPATH=$ORIGIN to executables, even when testing natively. I think it's a good change in general, as it reduces the differences between testing a native and a remote target. To further reduce those differences, we can also always build test shared libraries with an SONAME. ftrace.exp and ftrace-lock.exp need to be modified slightly. The code checks that the IPA library is loaded using the absolute path on the build machine. That obviously doesn't work if the test is done remotely, as the path will be different. I changed the tests to only search for the library basename (e.g. libinproctrace.so). gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in ($(IPA_LIB)): Set SONAME of the IPA lib. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.trace/ftrace-lock.exp: Check for IPA basename instead of absolute. * gdb.trace/ftrace.exp: Likewise. * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Set rpath $ORIGIN for non-remote targets as well. (gdb_compile_shlib): Set SONAME for non-remote targets as well. (gdb_load_shlibs): Copy libraries to test directory when testing natively. Only set solib-search-path if testing remotely. * lib/mi-support.exp (mi_load_shlibs): Likewise.
