2015-01-11Temporarily revert symbol lookup cache.Doug Evans5-828/+14
clear_symtab_users calls breakpoint_re_set before observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL), and thus symbol lookup done during breakpoint_re_set will see a stale cache. Presumably we just need to move the call to observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL) to before breakpoint_re_set, but need to check for other such issues, and 7.9 is scheduled to branch tomorrow.

2015-01-10gas/avr: Prevent incorrect overflow errors for diff fixups.Andrew Burgess5-0/+42
When fixups are converted to a difference type within md_apply_fix, we previously left the contents of VALP (the value that was initially computed within write.c:fixup_segment) unchanged. This is harmless, except that this value is used within write.c:fixup_segment once we return from md_apply_fix to perform an overflow check. In some cases, the value computed in write.c:fixup_segment is so wrong that an overflow error can be triggered. These errors are incorrect. This patch avoids the overflow errors by adjusting the value in write.c:fixup_segment using the VALP pointer in md_apply_fix. A test for this issue is included. gas/ChangeLog: * config/tc-avr.c (md_apply_fix): Update the contents of VALP for diff fixups. gas/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gas/avr/large-debug-line-table.d: New file. * gas/avr/large-debug-line-table.s: New file.

2015-01-09Don't munge yacc's #line directivesPatrick Palka2-1/+5
The #line directives within GDB's autogenerated yacc files (e.g. c-exp.c) are being incorrectly munged, causing these directives to refer to nonexistent source files, e.g. #line 36 "/home/patrick/binutils-gdb/gdb//home/patrick/binutils-gdb/gdb/c-exp.y" as opposed to #line 36 "/home/patrick/binutils-gdb/gdb/c-exp.y" The munging happens due to a sed expression added by commit 954d8cae whose intended purpose[1] was to work around the fact that ylwrap emitted #line directives without any directory information, e.g. #line 36 "c-exp.y" So the sed expression was meant to munge such directives to refer to absolute paths instead. But the behavior of ylwrap was changed some years ago[2] to emit absolute paths within #line directives. And when our local copy of ylwrap was synced by commit e30465112, the sed expression in question became unnecessary, and indeed harmful. This patch removes the now-obsolete sed expression. The emitted #line directives are now correct without it. gdb/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in (.y.c): Don't munge yacc's #line directives.

2015-01-09Consolidate the custom TUI query hook with the default query hookPatrick Palka4-114/+29
This patch primarily rewrites defaulted_query() to use gdb_readline_wrapper() to prompt the user for input, like prompt_for_continue() does. The motivation for this rewrite is to be able to reuse the default query hook in TUI, obviating the need for a custom TUI query hook. However, having TUI use the default query mechanism exposed a couple of latent bugs in tui_redisplay_readline() related to the handling of multi-line prompts, in particular GDB's multi-line quit prompt. The first issue is an off-by-one error in the calculation of the height of the prompt. The check in question should be col <= prev_col, not c < prev_col, to properly account for the case when a prompt contains multiple consecutive newlines. Failing to do so makes TUI have the wrong idea of the vertical height of the prompt. This patch fixes the column check. The second issue is that cur_line does not get updated to reflect the cursor position if the user's prompt cursor is at the end of the prompt (i.e. if rl_point == rl_end). cur_line only gets updated if rl_point lies between 0..rl_end-1 because that is the bounds of the for loop responsible for updating cur_line. This patch changes the loop's bounds to 0..rl_end so that cur_line always gets updated. With these two bug fixes out of the way, the default query mechanism works well in TUI even with multi-line prompts like GDB's quit prompt. gdb/ChangeLog: * utils.c (defaulted_query): Rewrite to use gdb_readline_wrapper to prompt for input. * tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_query_hook): Remove. (tui_install_hooks): Don't set deprecated_query_hook. * tui/tui-io.c (tui_redisplay_readline): Fix off-by-one error in height calculation. Always update the command window's cur_line.

2015-01-09linux-nat.c: better starvation avoidance, handle non-stop mode tooPedro Alves6-302/+391
Running the testsuite with a series that reimplements user-visible all-stop behavior on top of a target running in non-stop mode revealed problems related to event starvation avoidance. For example, I see gdb.threads/signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp failing. What happens is that GDB core never gets to see the signal event. It ends up processing the events for the same threads over an over, because Linux's waitpid(-1, ...) returns that first task in the task list that has an event, starving threads on the tail of the task list. So I wrote a non-stop mode test originally inspired by signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp, to stress this independently of all-stop on top of non-stop. Fixing it required the changes described below. The test will be added in a following commit. 1) linux-nat.c has code in place that picks an event LWP at random out of all that have had events. This is because on the kernel side, "waitpid(-1, ...)" just walks the task list linearly looking for the first that had an event. But, this code is currently only used in all-stop mode. So with a multi-threaded program that has multiple events triggering debug events in parallel, GDB ends up starving some threads. To make the event randomization work in non-stop mode too, the patch makes us pull out all the already pending events on the kernel side, with waitpid, before deciding which LWP to report to the core. There's some code in linux_wait that takes care of leaving events pending if they were for LWPs the caller is not interested in. The patch moves that to linux_nat_filter_event, so that we only have one place that leaves events pending. With that in place, conceptually, the flow is simpler and more normalized: #1 - walk the LWP list looking for an LWP with a pending event to report. #2 - if no pending event, pull events out of the kernel, and store them in the LWP structures as pending. #3- goto #1. 2) Then, currently the event randomization code only considers SIGTRAP (or trap-like) events. That means that if e.g., have have multiple threads stepping in parallel that hit a breakpoint that needs stepping over, and one gets a signal, the signal may end up never getting processed, because GDB will always be giving priority to the SIGTRAPs. The patch fixes this by making the randomization code consider all kinds of pending events. 3) If multiple threads hit a breakpoint, we report one of those, and "cancel" the others. Cancelling means decrementing the PC, and discarding the event. If the next time the LWP is resumed the breakpoint is still installed, the LWP should hit it again, and we'll report the hit then. The problem I found is that this delays threads from advancing too much, with the kernel potentially ending up scheduling the same threads over and over, and others not advancing. So the patch switches away from cancelling the breakpoints, and instead remembering that the LWP had stopped for a breakpoint. If on resume the breakpoint is still installed, we report it. If it's no longer installed, we discard the pending event then. This is actually how GDBserver used to handle this before d50171e4 (Teach linux gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints), but with the difference that back then we'd delay adjusting the PC until resuming, which made it so that "info threads" could wrongly see threads with unadjusted PCs. gdb/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * breakpoint.c (hardware_breakpoint_inserted_here_p): New function. * breakpoint.h (hardware_breakpoint_inserted_here_p): New declaration. * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_status_is_event): Move higher up in file.

2015-01-09linux-nat.c: always mark execing LWP as resumedPedro Alves2-0/+9
A subsequent patch will make the Linux backend's target_wait method pull all events out of the kernel (with waitpid) and store them as pending status in the LWP structure if no pending status was already available. Then, the backend goes over the pending statuses and pick one to report to the core. With that, the existing thread-execl.exp test exposes a bug, like: (gdb) set scheduler-locking on (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock on: set scheduler-locking on next FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock on: get to main in new image (timeout) Recall that when the non-leader thread execs, all threads in the process die, the execing thread changes its pid to the tgid, and then waitpid returns an exec event to the tgid. If GDB didn't resume the leader LWP, then GDB sees an event for an LWP that was supposedly stopped, and thus not marked as resumed. Because the code that picks a pending event to report to the core ignores not-resumed LWPs: /* Return non-zero if LP has a wait status pending. */ static int status_callback (struct lwp_info *lp, void *data) { /* Only report a pending wait status if we pretend that this has indeed been resumed. */ if (!lp->resumed) return 0; the event ends up pending forever, thus the timeout. gdb/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-nat.c (linux_handle_extended_wait) <PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC>: Set the LWP's 'resumed' flag.
2015-01-09linux-nat.c: clean up pending status checking and resuming LWPsPedro Alves2-120/+67
Whenever we resume an LWP, we must clear a few flags and flush the LWP's register cache. We actually currently flush the register cache of all LWPs, but that's unnecessary. This patch makes us flush the register cache of only the LWP that is resumed. Instead of open coding all that in many places, we use a helper function. Likewise, we have two fields in the LWP structure where a pending status may be recorded. Add a helper predicate that checks both and use it throughout instead of open coding the checks. gdb/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-nat.c (linux_resume_one_lwp): New function.

2015-01-09watch_thread_num.exp and targets with fairer event reportingPedro Alves4-14/+74
This patch fixes the watch_thread_num.exp test to work when the target is better at making event handling be fair among threads. I wrote patches that make GDB native and GDBserver event handling fairer between threads. That is, if threads A and B both simultaneously trigger some debug event, GDB will pick either A or B at random, rather than always handling the event of A first. There's code for that in the Linux backends (gdb and gdbserver) already, but it can be improved, and only works in all-stop mode. With those fixes in place, I found that the watch_thread_num.exp would often time out. The problem is that the test only works _because_ event handling isn't as fair as intended. With the fairness fixes, the test falls victim of PR10116 (gdb drops watchpoints on multi-threaded apps) quite often. To expand on the PR10116 reference, consider that stop events are serialized to GDB core, through target_wait. Say a thread-specific watchpoint as set on thread A. When the "right" thread and some other "wrong" thread both trigger a watchpoint simultaneously, the target may report the "wrong" thread's hit to GDB first (thread B). When handling that event, GDB notices the watchpoint is for another thread, and so shouldn't cause a user-visible stop. On resume, GDB saves the now current value of the watched expression. Afterwards, the "right" thread (thread A) reports its watchpoint trigger. But the watched value hasn't changed since GDB last saved it, and so GDB doesn't report the watchpoint hit to the user. The way the test is written, the watchpoint is associated with the first thread that happens to report an event. It happens that GDB is processing events much more often for one of the threads, which usually will be that same first thread. Hacking the test with "set debug infrun 1", we see exactly that: $ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr 70 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798], 37 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8802], 36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8804], 36 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8803], 35 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8805], 34 infrun: 8798 [Thread 8806], The first column shows the number of times the target reported an event for that thread, from: infrun: target_wait (-1, status) = infrun: 8798 [Thread 8798], infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP This masks out the PR10116 issue. However, if the target is better at giving equal priority to all threads, the PR10116 issue happens often, so it may take quite a while for the right thread to be the first to report its watchpoint event just after the memory being watched really changed, resulting in test time outs. Here's the number of events handled for each thread on a gdbserver run with the event fairness patches: $ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," gdb.log | sort | uniq -c 2961 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13591], 2956 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13595], 2941 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13596], 2932 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13597], 2905 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13598], 2891 infrun: 13591 [Thread 13599], Note how the number of events is much higher. The test routinely takes over 10 seconds to finish on my machine rather than under a second as with unpatched gdbserver, when it succeeds, but often it'll fail with timeouts too. So to make the test robust, this patch switches the tests to using "awatch" instead of "watch", as access watchpoints don't care about the watchpoint's "old value". With this, the test always finishes quickly, and we can even bump the number of threads concurrently writting to the shared variable, to have better assurance we're really testing the case of the "wrong" thread triggering a watchpoint. Here's the number of events I see for each thread on a run on my machine, with a gdbserver patched with the event fairness series: $ grep "infrun.*\[Thread.*," testsuite/gdb.log | sort | uniq -c 5 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5302], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5303], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5304], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5305], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5306], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5307], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5308], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5309], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5310], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5311], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5312], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5313], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5314], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5315], 4 infrun: 5298 [Thread 5316], gdb/testsuite/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/annota1.exp (thread_test): Use srcfile and binfile from the global scope.

2015-01-09Linux: Skip thread_db thread event reporting if PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE is supportedPedro Alves6-12/+75
[A test I wrote stumbled on a libthread_db issue related to thread event breakpoints. See glibc PR17705: [nptl_db: stale thread create/death events if debugger detaches] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17705 This patch avoids that whole issue by making GDB stop using thread event breakpoints in the first place, which is good for other reasons as well, anyway.] Before PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (Linux 2.6), the only way to learn about new threads in the inferior (to attach to them) or to learn about thread exit was to coordinate with the inferior's glibc/runtime, using libthread_db. That works by putting a breakpoint at a magic address which is called when a new thread is spawned, or when a thread is about to exit. When that breakpoint is hit, all threads are stopped, and then GDB coordinates with libthread_db to read data structures out of the inferior to learn about what happened. Then the breakpoint is single-stepped, and then all threads are re-resumed. This isn't very efficient (stops all threads) and is more fragile (inferior's thread list in memory may be corrupt; libthread_db bugs, etc.) than ideal. When the kernel supports PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (which we already make use of), there's really no need to use libthread_db's event reporting mechanism to learn about new LWPs. And if the kernel supports that, then we learn about LWP exits through regular WIFEXITED wait statuses, so no need for the death event breakpoint either. GDBserver has been likewise skipping the thread_db events for a long while: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html There's one user-visible difference: we'll no longer print about threads being created and exiting while the program is running, like: [Thread 0x7ffff7dbb700 (LWP 30670) exited] [New Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671)] [Thread 0x7ffff7dd3700 (LWP 30667) exited] [New Thread 0x7ffff7dab700 (LWP 30672)] [Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671) exited] [Thread 0x7ffff7dcb700 (LWP 30668) exited] This is exactly the same behavior as when debugging against remote targets / gdbserver. I actually think that's a good thing (and as such have listed this in the local/remote parity wiki page a while ago), as the printing slows down the inferior. It's also a distraction to keep bothering the user about short-lived threads that she won't be able to interact with anyway. Instead, the user (and frontend) will be informed about new threads that currently exist in the program when the program next stops: (gdb) c ... * ctrl-c * [New Thread 0x7ffff7963700 (LWP 7797)] [New Thread 0x7ffff796b700 (LWP 7796)] Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

2015-01-09libthread_db: Skip attaching to terminated and joined threadsPedro Alves5-0/+35
I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of them. On GNU/Linux, attaching to a multi-threaded program sometimes prints out warnings like: ... [New LWP 20700] warning: unable to open /proc file '/proc/-1/status' [New LWP 20850] [New LWP 21019] ... That happens because when a thread exits, and is joined, glibc does: nptl/pthread_join.c: pthread_join () { ... if (__glibc_likely (result == 0)) { /* We mark the thread as terminated and as joined. */ pd->tid = -1; ... /* Free the TCB. */ __free_tcb (pd); } So if we attach or interrupt the program (which does an implicit "info threads") at just the right (or rather, wrong) time, we can find and return threads in the libthread_db/pthreads thread list with kernel thread ID -1. I've filed glibc PR nptl/17707 for this. You'll find more info there. This patch handles this as a special case in GDB. This is actually more than just a cosmetic issue. lin_lwp_attach_lwp will think that this -1 is an LWP we're not attached to yet, and after failing to attach will try to check we were already attached to the process, using a waitpid call, which in this case ends up being "waitpid (-1, ...", which obviously results in GDB potentially discarding an event when it shouldn't...

2015-01-09Linux: on attach, attach to lwps listed under /proc/$pid/task/Pedro Alves11-127/+406
... instead of relying on libthread_db. I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of them. On Linux, we need to attach to all threads of a process (thread group) individually. We currently rely on libthread_db to list the threads, but that is problematic, because libthread_db relies on reading data structures out of the inferior (which may well be corrupted). If threads are being created or exiting just while we try to attach, we may trip on inconsistencies in the inferior's thread list. To work around that, when we see a seemingly corrupt list, we currently retry a few times: static void thread_db_find_new_threads_2 (ptid_t ptid, int until_no_new) { ... if (until_no_new) { /* Require 4 successive iterations which do not find any new threads. The 4 is a heuristic: there is an inherent race here, and I have seen that 2 iterations in a row are not always sufficient to "capture" all threads. */ ... That heuristic may well fail, and when it does, we end up with threads in the program that aren't under GDB's control. That's obviously bad and results in quite mistifying failures, like e.g., the process dying for seeminly no reason when a thread that wasn't attached trips on a breakpoint. There's really no reason to rely on libthread_db for this nowadays when we have /proc mounted. In that case, which is the usual case, we can list the LWPs from /proc/PID/task/. In fact, GDBserver is already doing this. The patch factors out that code that knows to walk the task/ directory out of GDBserver, and makes GDB use it too. Like GDBserver, the patch makes GDB attach to LWPs and _not_ wait for them to stop immediately. Instead, we just tag the LWP as having an expected stop. Because we can only set the ptrace options when the thread stops, we need a new flag in the lwp structure to keep track of whether we've already set the ptrace options, just like in GDBserver. Note that nothing issues any ptrace command to the threads between the PTRACE_ATTACH and the stop, so this is safe (unlike one scenario described in gdbserver's linux-low.c). When we attach to a program that has threads exiting while we attach, it's easy to race with a thread just exiting as we try to attach to it, like: #1 - get current list of threads #2 - attach to each listed thread #3 - ooops, attach failed, thread is already gone As this is pretty normal, we shouldn't be issuing a scary warning in step #3. When #3 happens, PTRACE_ATTACH usually fails with ESRCH, but sometimes we'll see EPERM as well. That happens when the kernel still has the thread in its task list, but the thread is marked as dead. Unfortunately, EPERM is ambiguous and we'll get it also on other scenarios where the thread isn't dead, and in those cases, it's useful to get a warning. To distiguish the cases, when we get an EPERM failure, we open /proc/PID/status, and check the thread's state -- if the /proc file no longer exists, or the state is "Z (Zombie)" or "X (Dead)", we ignore the EPERM error silently; otherwise, we'll warn. Unfortunately, there seems to be a kernel race here. Sometimes I get EPERM, and then the /proc state still indicates "R (Running)"... If we wait a bit and retry, we do end up seeing X or Z state, or get an ESRCH. I thought of making GDB retry the attach a few times, but even with a 500ms wait and 4 retries, I still see the warning sometimes. I haven't been able to identify the kernel path that causes this yet, but in any case, it looks like a kernel bug to me. As this just results failure to suppress a warning that we've been printing since about forever anyway, I'm just making the test cope with it, and issue an XFAIL. gdb/gdbserver/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-low.c (linux_attach_fail_reason_string): Move to nat/linux-ptrace.c, and rename.
