[gdb/testsuite] Update gdb.arch/i386-mpx-call.exp for -m32
When running test-case gdb.arch/i386-mpx-call.exp with target board unix/-m32, we run into: ... (gdb) continue^M Continuing.^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-mpx-call.exp: upper_bnd0: continue to a bnd violation ... Let's look first for reference at -m64, where the test passes. The test-case uses -mmpx -fcheck-pointer-bounds to generate pointer checks in the exec. Effectively, -fcheck-pointer-bounds modifies the calling ABI: a call passes pointer bounds as well as arguments. The call to upper (with four pointer arguments and an int argument, passed in 5 registers) is modified like this: ... lea -0xa0(%rbp),%rcx lea -0x80(%rbp),%rdx lea -0x60(%rbp),%rsi lea -0x40(%rbp),%rax mov $0x0,%r8d + bndmov -0x110(%rbp),%bnd3 + bndmov -0x100(%rbp),%bnd2 + bndmov -0xf0(%rbp),%bnd1 + bndmov -0xe0(%rbp),%bnd0 mov %rax,%rdi - callq <upper> + bnd callq <upper> ... passsing the four pointer bounds in bounds registers BND0-3. The top-level mechanism of the test is as follows: - run the exec to after all mallocs are done, such that all pointer variables are valid - do inferior calls, similar to those present in the program The inferior call mechanism doesn't differentiate between a call to a function compiled with -fcheck-pointer-bounds, and one without. It merely resets the bound registers to all-allowed state (see amd64_push_dummy_call), to make sure the checks don't trigger during the inferior call. [ This is the same as what happens when executing a call without bnd prefix when the BNDPRESERVE bit of the BNDCFG register is set to 0, a provision for calling an instrumented function using a non-instrumented call. ] First, two inferior calls are done (default_run and verify_default_values) with the bound registers unmodified by the test. So, the memory accesses are performed with the bounds registers set by amd64_push_dummy_call to all-allowed, and the bounds checks do not trigger. Then we try to do an inferior call with modified bounds registers, set to none-allowed. In order to do that, we set a breakpoint at *upper before doing the inferior call. Once we hit the breakpoint during the inferior call, the bounds registers are set to none-allowed, and we continue expecting to run into an triggered bounds check, which takes the shape of a sigsegv. Back to -m32. Here, the pointer arguments are passed in memory rather than registers, so with -fcheck-pointer-bounds, the pointer bounds are placed in the Bounds Table using bndstx: ... movl $0x0,0x10(%eax) lea -0x70(%ebp),%edx mov %edx,0xc(%eax) lea -0x5c(%ebp),%edx mov %edx,0x8(%eax) lea -0x48(%ebp),%edx mov %edx,0x4(%eax) lea -0x34(%ebp),%edx mov %edx,(%eax) lea 0xc(%eax),%edx mov 0xc(%eax),%ecx bndmov -0xa8(%ebp),%bnd1 bndstx %bnd1,(%edx,%ecx,1) lea 0x8(%eax),%edx mov 0x8(%eax),%ecx bndmov -0xa0(%ebp),%bnd3 bndstx %bnd3,(%edx,%ecx,1) lea 0x4(%eax),%edx mov 0x4(%eax),%ecx bndmov -0x98(%ebp),%bnd1 bndstx %bnd1,(%edx,%ecx,1) mov (%eax),%edx bndmov -0x90(%ebp),%bnd3 bndstx %bnd3,(%eax,%edx,1) bnd call 804893f <upper> ... Again, the bounds registers are reset at the start of the inferior call by amd64_push_dummy_call, and modified by the test-case, but neither has any effect. The code in upper reads the pointer bounds from the Bounds Table, not from the bounds registers. Note that for a test.c with an out-of-bounds access: ... $ cat test.c void foo (int *a) { volatile int v = a[1]; } int main (void) { int a; foo (&a); return 0; } $ gcc test.c -mmpx -fcheck-pointer-bounds -g -m32 $ ./a.out Saw a #BR! status 1 at 0x804848d ... and inferior call foo (&a) right before "bnd call foo" (at the point that the bounds for a are setup in the bounds table) doesn't trigger a bounds violation: ... (gdb) call foo (&a) (gdb) ... This is because the bounds table doesn't associate a pointer with bounds, but rather a pair of pointer and pointer location. So, the bound is setup for &a, with as location the pushed argument in the frame. The inferior call however executes in a dummy frame, so the bound is checked for &a with as location the pushed argument in the dummy frame, which is different, so the bounds check doesn't trigger. In conclusion, this is expected behaviour. Update the test-case to not expect to override effective pointer bounds using the bounds registers when the bounds passing is done via the Bounds Table. Tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2020-12-11 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> PR testsuite/26991 * gdb.arch/i386-mpx-call.exp: Don't expect to trigger bounds violations by setting bounds registers if the bounds are passed in the Bounds Table.
