gdb/record-full: disable range stepping when resuming threads
I see these failures, when running with the native-gdbserver of native-extended-gdbserver boards: Running /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp ... FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 1 LEP from function body FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 2 at b = 5, from function body FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 1 GEP call from function body FAIL: gdb.reverse/finish-reverse-next.exp: reverse next 2 at b = 50 from function body Let's use this simpler program to illustrate the problem: int main() { int a = 362; a = a * 17; return a; } It compiles down to: int a = 362; 401689: c7 45 fc 6a 01 00 00 movl $0x16a,-0x4(%rbp) a = a * 17; 401690: 8b 55 fc mov -0x4(%rbp),%edx 401693: 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax 401695: c1 e0 04 shl $0x4,%eax 401698: 01 d0 add %edx,%eax 40169a: 89 45 fc mov %eax,-0x4(%rbp) return a; 40169d: 8b 45 fc mov -0x4(%rbp),%eax When single stepping these lines, debugging locally, while recording, these are the recorded instructions (basically one for each instruction shown above): (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction 0 4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc5c changed from: 6a 01 00 00 Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x40169a <main+21> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -1 Register rax changed: 5792 Register eflags changed: [ PF AF IF ] Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401698 <main+19> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -2 Register rax changed: 362 Register eflags changed: [ PF ZF IF ] Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401695 <main+16> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -3 Register rax changed: 4200069 Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401693 <main+14> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -4 Register rdx changed: 140737488346696 Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401690 <main+11> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -5 4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc5c changed from: 00 00 00 00 Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401689 <main+4> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -6 Not enough recorded history But when debugging remotely: (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction 0 Register rdx changed: 140737488346728 Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401690 <main+11> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -1 4 bytes of memory at address 0x00007fffffffdc7c changed from: 00 00 00 00 Register rip changed: (void (*)()) 0x401689 <main+4> (gdb) maintenance print record-instruction -2 Not enough recorded history In this list, we only have entries for the beginning of each line. This is because of the remote target's support for range stepping. The record-full layer can only record instructions when the underlying process target reports a stop. With range stepping, the remote target single-steps multiple instructions at a time, so the record-full target doesn't get to see and record them all. Fix this by making the record-full layer disable range-stepping before handing the resume request to the beneath layer, forcing the remote target to report stops for each instruction.
