to check a situation that once failed with the new section merging
when it mishandled offsets pointing into alignment padding in mergable
string sections (i.e. pointing to zeros). It made bootstrap.exp fail
but that depends on many factors to actually go wrong so this is a more
explicit variant of it.
|
|
the test expects a second, but useless, $d mapping symbol for
the partially merged section, and specifically disallows one
for the completely merged section. The new merging algorithm
makes it so that also the partially merged sections are conceptually
SEC_EXCLUDED, except the first merge section (e.g. as if the very
first object file already contains all strings). So that second mapping
symbol is now missing. It never was needed anyway.
So, adjust the test.

* use power-of-two hash table
* use better hash function (hashing 32bits at once and with better
mixing characteristics)
* use input-offset-to-entry maps instead of retaining full input
contents for lookup time
* don't reread SEC_MERGE section multiple times
* care for cache behaviour for the hot lookup routine
The overall effect is less usage in libz and much faster string merging
itself. On a debug-info-enabled cc1 the effect at the time of this
writing on the machine I used was going from 14400 perf samples to 9300
perf samples or from 3.7 seconds to 2.4 seconds, i.e. about 33% .

All glibc malloc() implementations I've checked have a smallest
allocation size worth of 3 pointers, with an increment worth of 2
pointers. Hence mnemonics with multiple templates can be stored more
efficiently when maintaining the shared "name" field only in the actual
hash entry. (To express the shared nature, also convert "name" to by
pointer-to-const.)
While doing the conversation also pull out common code from the involved
if/else construct in expand_templates().

Register names are (including their nul terminators) on average almost 4
bytes long. Otoh no register name is longer than 8 bytes. Hence even for
32-bit builds using a pointer is only slightly more space efficient than
embedding the strings. A level of indirection can be also avoided by
embedding the names as an array of 8 characters directly in the arrays,
and the number of base relocations in libopcodes.so (or PIE builds of
statically linked executables) goes down as well.
To amortize for the otherwise reduced folding of string literals by the
linker, use att_names_seg[] in place of string literals in append_seg()
and OP_ESreg().

Register names are (including their nul terminators) on average almost 4

32-bit builds using a pointer is only slightly more space efficient than
embedding the strings. A level of indirection can be also avoided by
embedding the names as an array of 8 characters directly in the struct,
and the number of base relocations in PIE builds of gas goes down as

Now that we have identifiers for the mnemonic strings we can avoid
strcmp() in a number of places, comparing the offsets into the mnemonic
string table instead. While doing this also
- convert a leftover strncmp() to startswith() (apparently an oversight
when rebasing the original patch introducing the startswith() uses),
- use the new shorthand for current_templates->start also elsewhere in
md_assemble() (valid up to the point where match_template() is
called).
|
|
When generating the mnemonic string table we already set up an
identifier for the following entry in a number of cases. Re-use that on
the next loop iteration rather than re-doing allocation and conversion.
|
|
Compact the mnemonic string table such that the tails of longer
mnemonics are re-used for shorter ones, going beyond what compilers
would typically do, but matching what ELF linkers may do when processing
SHF_MERGE|SHF_STRINGS sections. This reduces table size by about 12.5%.
|
|
Using full pointers to reference the insn mnemonic strings is not very
efficient. With overall string size presently just slightly over 20k,
even a 16-bit value would suffice. Use "unsigned int" for now, as
there's no good use we could presently make of the otherwise saved 16
bits.
For 64-bit builds this reduces table size by 6.25% (prior to the recent
ISA extension additions it would have been 12.5%), with a similar effect
on cache occupation of table entries accessed. For PIE builds of gas
this also reduces the number of base relocations quite a bit (obviously
independent of bitness).
|
|
In preparation for changing the representation of the "name" field
introduce a wrapper function. This keeps the mechanical change separate
from the functional one.

Modify test cases that verify the operation of the array element limit
with character strings such that they are executed twice, once with the
`set print characters' option set to `elements' and the limit controlled
with the `set print elements' option, and then again with the limit
controlled with the `set print characters' option instead. Similarly
with the `-elements' and `-characters' options for the `print' command.
Additionally verify that said `print' command options combined yield the
expected result.
Verify correct $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str values for the `print
characters' setting, in particular the `void' value for the `elements'
default, which has no corresponding integer value exposed.
Add Guile and Python coverage for the `print characters' GDB setting.
There are new tests for Ada and Pascal, as the string printing code for
these languages is different than the generic string printing code used
by other languages. Modula2 also has different string printing code,
but (a) this is similar to Pascal, and (b) there are no existing modula2
tests written in Modula2, so I'm not sure how I'd even test the Modula2
string printing.

This commit splits the `set/show print elements' option into two. We
retain `set/show print elements' for controlling how many elements of an
array we print, but a new `set/show print characters' setting is added
which is used for controlling how many characters of a string are
printed.
The motivation behind this change is to allow users a finer level of
control over how data is printed, reflecting that, although strings can
be thought of as arrays of characters, users often want to treat these
two things differently.
For compatibility reasons by default the `set/show print characters'
option is set to `elements', which makes the limit for character strings
follow the setting of the `set/show print elements' option, as it used
to. Using `set print characters' with any other value makes the limit
independent from the `set/show print elements' setting, however it can
be restored to the default with the `set print characters elements'
command at any time.
A corresponding `-characters' option for the `print' command is added,
with the same semantics, i.e. one can use `elements' to make a given
`print' invocation follow the limit of elements, be it set with the
`-elements' option also given with the same invocation or taken from the
`set/show print elements' setting, for characters as well regardless of
the current setting of the `set/show print characters' option.
The GDB changes are all pretty straightforward, just changing references
to the old 'print_max' to use a new `get_print_max_chars' helper which
figures out which of the two of `print_max' and `print_max_chars' values
to use.
Likewise, the documentation is just updated to reference the new setting
where appropriate.
To make people's life easier the message shown by `show print elements'
now indicates if the setting also applies to character strings:
(gdb) set print characters elements
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on string chars or array elements to print is 200.
(gdb) set print characters unlimited
(gdb) show print elements
Limit on array elements to print is 200.
(gdb)
and the help text shows the dependency as well:
(gdb) help set print elements
Set limit on array elements to print.
"unlimited" causes there to be no limit.
This setting also applies to string chars when "print characters"
is set to "elements".
(gdb)
In the testsuite there are two minor updates, one to add `-characters'
to the list of completions now shown for the `print' command, and a bare
minimum pair of checks for the right handling of `set print characters'
and `show print characters', copied from the corresponding checks for
`set print elements' and `show print elements' respectively.

Rather than just `unlimited' allow the integer set commands (or command
options) to define arbitrary keywords for the user to use, removing
hardcoded arrangements for the `unlimited' keyword.
Remove the confusingly named `var_zinteger', `var_zuinteger' and
`var_zuinteger_unlimited' `set'/`show' command variable types redefining
them in terms of `var_uinteger', `var_integer' and `var_pinteger', which
have the range of [0;UINT_MAX], [INT_MIN;INT_MAX], and [0;INT_MAX] each.
Following existing practice `var_pinteger' allows extra negative values
to be used, however unlike `var_zuinteger_unlimited' any number of such
values can be defined rather than just `-1'.
The "p" in `var_pinteger' stands for "positive", for the lack of a more
appropriate unambiguous letter, even though 0 obviously is not positive;
"n" would be confusing as to whether it stands for "non-negative" or
"negative".
Add a new structure, `literal_def', the entries of which define extra
keywords allowed for a command and numerical values they correspond to.
Those values are not verified against the basic range supported by the
underlying variable type, allowing extra values to be allowed outside
that range, which may or may not be individually made visible to the
user. An optional value translation is possible with the structure to
follow the existing practice for some commands where user-entered 0 is
internally translated to UINT_MAX or INT_MAX. Such translation can now
be arbitrary. Literals defined by this structure are automatically used
for completion as necessary.
So for example:
const literal_def integer_unlimited_literals[] =
{
{ "unlimited", INT_MAX, 0 },
{ nullptr }
};
defines an extra `unlimited' keyword and a user-visible 0 value, both of
which get translated to INT_MAX for the setting to be used with.
Similarly:
const literal_def zuinteger_unlimited_literals[] =
{
{ "unlimited", -1, -1 },
{ nullptr }
};
defines the same keyword and a corresponding user-visible -1 value that
is used for the requested setting. If the last member were omitted (or
set to `{}') here, then only the keyword would be allowed for the user
to enter and while -1 would still be used internally trying to enter it
as a part of a command would result in an "integer -1 out of range"
error.
Use said error message in all cases (citing the invalid value requested)
replacing "only -1 is allowed to set as unlimited" previously used for
`var_zuinteger_unlimited' settings only rather than propagating it to
`var_pinteger' type. It could only be used for the specific case where
a single extra `unlimited' keyword was defined standing for -1 and the
use of numeric equivalents is discouraged anyway as it is for historical
reasons only that they expose GDB internals, confusingly different
across variable types. Similarly update the "must be >= -1" Guile error
message.
Redefine Guile and Python parameter types in terms of the new variable
types and interpret extra keywords as Scheme keywords and Python strings
used to communicate corresponding parameter values. Do not add a new
PARAM_INTEGER Guile parameter type, however do handle the `var_integer'
variable type now, permitting existing parameters defined by GDB proper,
such as `listsize', to be accessed from Scheme code.
With these changes in place it should be trivial for a Scheme or Python
programmer to expand the syntax of the `make-parameter' command and the
`gdb.Parameter' class initializer to have arbitrary extra literals along
with their internal representation supplied.
Update the testsuite accordingly.

In aarch64-tdep.c we find these register aliases:
...
{
/* 64-bit register names. */
{"fp", AARCH64_FP_REGNUM},
{"lr", AARCH64_LR_REGNUM},
{"sp", AARCH64_SP_REGNUM},
...
The sp alias is superfluous, because the canonical name of x31 is already sp.
The fp alias is superfluous, because it's already taken by the default meaning
of fp, assigned here in _initialize_frame_reg:
...
user_reg_add_builtin ("fp", value_of_builtin_frame_fp_reg, NULL);

There's a var u of this type:

and after assigning 99 to u.a, the test-case expects u.c to contain 99 (which
it does on x86_64), but instead it contains 0.
Fix this by instead assigning 0x63636363, to ensure that u.c == 99 for both
little and big endian.

code and comments that are really only applicable to
bfd_perform_relocation.
There is also a reloc offset bounds check change. I've moved the
check to where data is accessed, as it seems reasonable to me to not
perform the check unless it is needed. There is precedence for this;
Relocations against absolute symbols already avoided the check.
I also tried always performing the reloc offset check, and ran into
testsuite failures due to _NONE and _ALIGN relocs at the end of
sections. These likely would be fixed if all such reloc howtos had
size set to zero, but I would rather not edit lots of files when it
involves checking that target code does not use the size.
