After this mailing list posting:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-February/196607.html
it seems to me that in practice an Ada task maps 1:1 with a GDB
thread, and so it doesn't really make sense to allow uses to give both
a thread and a task within a single breakpoint or watchpoint
condition.
This commit updates GDB so that the user will get an error if both
are specified.
I've added new tests to cover the CLI as well as the Python and Guile
APIs. For the Python and Guile testing, as far as I can tell, this
was the first testing for this corner of the APIs, so I ended up
adding more than just a single test.
For documentation I've added a NEWS entry, but I've not added anything
to the docs themselves. Currently we document the commands with a
thread-id or task-id as distinct command, e.g.:
'break LOCSPEC task TASKNO'
'break LOCSPEC task TASKNO if ...'
'break LOCSPEC thread THREAD-ID'
'break LOCSPEC thread THREAD-ID if ...'
As such, I don't believe there is any indication that combining 'task'
and 'thread' would be expected to work; it seems clear to me in the
above that those four options are all distinct commands.
I think the NEWS entry is enough that if someone is combining these
keywords (it's not clear what the expected behaviour would be in this
case) then they can figure out that this was a deliberate change in
GDB, but for a new user, the manual doesn't suggest combining them is
OK, and any future attempt to combine them will give an error.

I noticed that describe_other_breakpoints doesn't show the task
number, but does show the thread-id. I can't see any reason why we'd
want to not show the task number in this situation, so this commit
adds this missing information, and extends gdb.ada/tasks.exp to check
this case.

I noticed that describe_other_breakpoints was printing the global
thread-id to the CLI. For CLI output we should be printing the
inferior local thread-id (e.g. "2.1"). This can be seen in the
following GDB session:
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1.1 Thread 4065742.4065742 "bp-thread-speci" main () at /tmp/bp-thread-specific.c:27
* 2.1 Thread 4065743.4065743 "bp-thread-speci" main () at /tmp/bp-thread-specific.c:27
(gdb) break foo thread 2.1
Breakpoint 3 at 0x40110a: foo. (2 locations)
(gdb) break foo thread 1.1
Note: breakpoint 3 (thread 2) also set at pc 0x40110a.
Note: breakpoint 3 (thread 2) also set at pc 0x40110a.
Breakpoint 4 at 0x40110a: foo. (2 locations)
Notice that GDB says:
Note: breakpoint 3 (thread 2) also set at pc 0x40110a.
The 'thread 2' in here is using the global thread-id, we should
instead say 'thread 2.1' which corresponds to how the user specified
the breakpoint.
This commit fixes this issue and adds a test.

The test added in this commit tests for a long fixed readline issue
relating to long command lines. A similar patch has existed in the
Fedora GDB tree for several years, but I don't see any reason why this
test would not be suitable for inclusion in upstream GDB. I've
updated the patch to current testsuite standards.
The test is checking for an issue that was fixed by this readline
patch:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2006-11/msg00002.html
Which was merged into readline 6.0 (released ~2010). The issue was
triggered when the user enters a long command line, which wrapped over
multiple terminal lines. The crash looks like this:
free(): invalid pointer

I recreated the above crash by a little light hacking on GDB, and then
linking GDB against readline 5.2. The above stack trace was generated
from the test included in this patch, and matches the trace that was
included in the original bug report.
It is worth acknowledging that without hacking things GDB has a
minimum requirement of readline 7.0. This test is not about checking
whether GDB has been built against an older version of readline, it is
about checking that readline doesn't regress in this area.

While debugging GDB I used 'show directories' and spotted lots of
entries that didn't make much sense. Here are all the entries that are
in my directories list:
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../../src/gdb
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../../src/gdb/../bfd
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../../src/gdb/../libiberty
$cdir
$cwd
Notice the second, third, and fourth entries in this list, these
should really be:
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb/../bfd
/tmp/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb/../libiberty
The problem is because I generally run everything from the top level
build directory, not the gdb/ sub-directory, thus, I start GDB like:
./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory
If run GDB under GDB, then I end up loading the gdb/gdb-gdb.gdb
script, which contains these lines:
dir ../../src/gdb/../libiberty
dir ../../src/gdb/../bfd
dir ../../src/gdb
dir .
These commands only make sense when running within the gdb/
sub-directory.
However, my debugging experience doesn't seem to be degraded at all, I
can still see the GDB source code just fine; which is because the
directory list still contains $cdir.
The build/gdb/gdb-gdb.gdb script is created from the
src/gdb/gdb-gdb.gdb.in template, which includes the automake @srcdir@
markers.
The 'dir' commands have mostly been around since the sourceware
repository was first created, though this commit 67f0714670383a did
reorder some of the 'dir' commands, which would seem to indicate these
commands were important to some people, at some time.
One possible fix would be to replace @srcdir@ with @abs_srcdir@, this
would ensure that the entries added were all valid, no matter the
user's current directory when debugging GDB.
However... I'd like to propose that we instead remove all the extra
directories completely. My hope is that, with more recent tools, the
debug information should allow us to correctly find all of the source
files without having to add any extra 'dir' entries. Obviously,
commit 67f0714670383a does make me a little nervous, but the
gdb-gdb.gdb script isn't something a non-maintainer will be using, so
I think we can afford to be a little more aggressive here. If it
turns out the 'dir' entries are needed then we can add them back, but
actually document why they are needed. Plus, when we add them back we
will use @abs_srcdir@ instead of @srcdir@.

...
ISTM me there's no reason for the i386 unwinders to be there for amd64.
Furthermore, there's a generic need to play around with enabling and disabling
unwinders, see PR8434. Currently, that's only available for both the dwarf2
unwinders at once using "maint set dwarf unwinders on/off".
If I manually disable the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder, the "i386 epilogue"
unwinder becomes active and gives the wrong answer, while I'm actually
interested in the result of the dwarf2 unwinder. Of course I can also
manually disable the "i386 epilogue", but I take the fact that I have to do
that as evidence that on amd64, the "i386 epilogue" is not only unnecessary,
but in the way.
Fix this by only adding the i386 unwinders if
"info.bfd_arch_info->bits_per_word == 32".
Note that the x32 abi (x86_64/-mx32):
- has the same unwinder list as amd64 (x86_64/-m64) before this commit,
- has info.bfd_arch_info->bits_per_word == 64, the same as amd64, and
consequently,
- has the same unwinder list as amd64 after this commit.
Tested on x86_64-linux, -m64 and -m32. Not tested with -mx32.

There is some inconsistency between the behaviour of objdump -D and
objdump -s, both supposedly operating on all sections by default.
objdump -s ignores bss sections, while objdump -D dissassembles the
zeros. Fix this by making objdump -D ignore bss sections too.
Furthermore, "objdump -s -j .bss" doesn't dump .bss as it should,
since the user is specifically asking to look at all those zeros.
This change does find some tests that used objdump -D with expected
output in bss-style sections. I've updated all the msp430 tests that
just wanted to find a non-empty section to look at section headers
instead, making the tests slightly more stringent. The ppc xcoff and
spu tests are fixed by adding -j options to objdump, which makes the
tests somewhat more lenient.

open_source_file relies on errno to communicate the reason for a missing
source file.
open_source_file may also call debuginfod_find_source. It is possible
for debuginfod_find_source to set errno to a value unrelated to the
reason for a failed download.
This can result in bogus error messages being reported as the reason for
a missing source file. The following error message should instead be
"No such file or directory":
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x00005555556f4de0 in main ()
(gdb) list

Fix this by having open_source_file return a negative errno if it fails
to open a source file. Use this value to generate the error message
instead of errno.

gdbsupport/errors.h declares perror_with_name and leaves the
implementation to the clients.
However gdb and gdbserver's implementations are essentially the
same, resulting in unnecessary code duplication.
Fix this by implementing perror_with_name in gdbsupport. Add an
optional parameter for specifying the errno used to generate the
error message.
Also move the implementation of perror_string to gdbsupport since
perror_with_name requires it.

This commit introduces the idea of loading only part of an array in
order to print it, what I call "limited length" arrays.
The motivation behind this work is to make it possible to print slices
of very large arrays, where very large means bigger than
`max-value-size'.
Consider this GDB session with the current GDB:
(gdb) set max-value-size 100
(gdb) p large_1d_array
value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array
value requires 400 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
notice that the request to print 10 elements still fails, even though 10
elements should be less than the max-value-size. With a patched version
of GDB:
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- large_1d_array
$1 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...}
So now the print has succeeded. It also has loaded `max-value-size'
worth of data into value history, so the recorded value can be accessed
consistently:
(gdb) p -elements 10 -- $1
$2 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...}
(gdb) p $1
$3 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, <unavailable> <repeats 75 times>}
(gdb)
Accesses with other languages work similarly, although for Ada only
C-style [] array element/dimension accesses use history. For both Ada
and Fortran () array element/dimension accesses go straight to the
inferior, bypassing the value history just as with C pointers.

Add a `-nonl' option to `gdb_test' making it possible to match output
from commands such as `output' that do not produce a new line sequence
at the end, e.g.:
(gdb) output 0
0(gdb)
|
|
While it makes sense to allow accessing out-of-bounds elements in the
debuggee and see whatever there might happen to be there in memory (we
are a debugger and not a programming rules enforcement facility and we
want to make people's life easier in chasing bugs), e.g.:
(gdb) print one_hundred[-1]
$1 = 0
(gdb) print one_hundred[100]
$2 = 0
(gdb)
we shouldn't really pretend that we have any meaningful data around
values recorded in history (what these commands really retrieve are
current debuggee memory contents outside the original data accessed,
really confusing in my opinion). Mark values recorded in history as
such then and verify accesses to be in-range for them:
(gdb) print one_hundred[-1]
$1 = <unavailable>
(gdb) print one_hundred[100]
$2 = <unavailable>
Add a suitable test case, which also covers integer overflows in data
location calculation.

Consistently use the LONGEST and ULONGEST types for value byte/bit
offsets and lengths respectively, avoiding silent truncation for ranges
exceeding the 32-bit span, which may cause incorrect matching. Also
report a conversion overflow on byte ranges that cannot be expressed in
terms of bits with these data types, e.g.:
(gdb) print one_hundred[1LL << 58]
Integer overflow in data location calculation
(gdb) print one_hundred[(-1LL << 58) - 1]
Integer overflow in data location calculation
(gdb)
Previously such accesses would be let through with unpredictable results
produced.
|
|
We have an inconsistency in value history accesses where array element
accesses cause an error for entries exceeding the currently selected
`max-value-size' setting even where such accesses successfully complete
for elements located in the inferior, e.g.:
(gdb) p/d one
$1 = 0
(gdb) p/d one_hundred
$2 = {0 <repeats 100 times>}
(gdb) p/d one_hundred[99]
$3 = 0
(gdb) set max-value-size 25
(gdb) p/d one_hundred
value requires 100 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p/d one_hundred[99]
$7 = 0
(gdb) p/d $2
value requires 100 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb) p/d $2[99]
value requires 100 bytes, which is more than max-value-size
(gdb)
According to our documentation the `max-value-size' setting is a safety
guard against allocating an overly large amount of memory. Moreover a
statement in documentation says, concerning this setting, that: "Setting
this variable does not affect values that have already been allocated
within GDB, only future allocations." While in the implementer-speak
the sentence may be unambiguous I think the outside user may well infer
that the setting does not apply to values previously printed.
Therefore rather than just fixing this inconsistency it seems reasonable
to lift the setting for value history accesses, under an implication
that by having been retrieved from the debuggee they have already passed
the safety check. Do it then, by suppressing the value size check in
`value_copy' -- under an observation that if the original value has been
already loaded (i.e. it's not lazy), then it must have previously passed
said check -- making the last two commands succeed:
(gdb) p/d $2
$8 = {0 <repeats 100 times>}
(gdb) p/d $2 [99]
$9 = 0
(gdb)
Expand the testsuite accordingly, covering both value history handling
and the use of `value_copy' by `make_cv_value', used by Python code.

Following commit 4e2a80ba606 ("gdb/testsuite: expect SIGSEGV from top
GDB spawn id"), the next failure I get in gdb.gdb/selftest.exp, using
the native-extended-gdbserver, is:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: send ^C to child process
signal SIGINT
Continuing with signal SIGINT.
FAIL: gdb.gdb/selftest.exp: send SIGINT signal to child process (timeout)
The problem is that in this gdb_test_multiple:
set description "send SIGINT signal to child process"
gdb_test_multiple "signal SIGINT" "$description" {
-re "^signal SIGINT\r\nContinuing with signal SIGINT.\r\nQuit\r\n.* $" {
pass "$description"
}
}
The "Continuing with signal SIGINT" portion is printed by the top GDB,
while the Quit portion is printed by the bottom GDB. As the
gdb_test_multiple is written, it expects both the the top GDB's spawn
id.
Fix this by splitting the gdb_test_multiple in two. The first one
expects the "Continuing with signal SIGINT" from the top GDB. The
second one expect "Quit" and the "(xgdb)" prompt from
$inferior_spawn_id. When debugging natively, this spawn id will be the
same as the top GDB's spawn id, but it's different when debugging with
GDBserver.

The test-case intends to set the breakpoint on line number 63 in

It tries to do so by specifying "break 63", which specifies a line in the
"current source file".
Due to the KFAIL PR, gdb stopped in __libc_siglongjmp, and because of presence
of debug info, the "current source file" becomes glibc's ./setjmp/longjmp.c.
Consequently, setting the breakpoint fails.
Fix this by adding a $subdir/$srcfile: prefix to the breakpoint linespecs.
I've managed to reproduce the FAIL on x86_64/-m32, by installing the

Commit 43025f01a0c9 ("RISC-V: Improve link time complexity.") reduced the
time complexity of the linker relaxation but some code portions did not
reflect this change.
This commit fixes a comment describing each relaxation pass and reduces
actual number of passes for the RISC-V linker relaxation from 3 to 2.
Though it does not change the functionality, it marginally improves the
performance while linking large programs (with many relocations).

* elfnn-riscv.c (_bfd_riscv_relax_section): Fix a comment to
reflect current roles of each relaxation pass.

* emultempl/riscvelf.em: Reduce the number of linker relaxation
passes from 3 to 2.

The main one here is the section buffer, which can be quite large.
By using alloc rather than malloc we can leave tidying memory to the
generic bfd code when the bfd is closed. bfd_check_format also
releases memory when object_p fails, so while it wouldn't be wrong
to bfd_release at bad_format_free in mmo_object_p, it's a little extra
code and work for no gain.
* mmo.c (mmo_object_p): bfd_alloc rather than bfd_malloc
lop_stab_symbol. Don't free/release on error.
(mmo_get_spec_section): bfd_zalloc rather than bfd_zmalloc
section buffer.
(mmo_scan): Free fname on another error path.

The attribute really specifies that the sum of register and memory
operands is 4. Express it like that in most places, while using the 2nd
(apart from XOP) CPU feature flags (FMA4) in reversed operand matching
logic.
With the use in build_modrm_byte() gone, part of an assertion there
also becomes meaningless - simplify that at the same time.
With all uses of the opcode modifier field gone, also drop that.
|
|
The few XOP insns which used it wrongly didn't have VexVVVV specified.
With that added, the only further missing piece to use more generic code
elsewhere is SwapSources - see e.g. the BMI2 insns for similar operand
patterns.
With the only users gone, drop the #define as well as the special case
code.
|
|
The VPROT* forms with an immediate operand are entirely standard in the
way their ModR/M bytes are built. There's no reason to invoke special
case code. With that the handling of an immediate there can also be
dropped; it was partially bogus anyway, as in its "no memory operands"
portion it ignores the possibility of an immediate operand (which was
okay only because that case was already handled by more generic code).
|
|
This really isn't a "modifier" and rather ought to live next to the base
opcode anyway. Use the bits we presently have available to fit in the
field, renaming it to opcode_space. As an intended side effect this
helps readability at the use sites, by shortening the references quite a
bit.
In generated code arrange for human readable output, by using the
SPACE_* constants there rather than raw numbers. This may aid debugging
down the road.
|
|
Fold adjacent comparisons when, by ORing in a certain mask, the same
effect can be achieved by a single one. In load_insn_p() this extends
to further uses of an already available local variable.
|
|
Now that we have identifiers for the mnemonic strings we can avoid
opcode based comparisons, for (in many cases) being more expensive and
(in a few cases) being a little fragile and not self-documenting.
Note that the MOV optimization can be engaged by the earlier LEA one,
and hence LEA also needs checking for there.

I've found that I often use dwarf-mode with relatively small test
files. In this situation, it's handy to be able to expand all the
DWARF, rather than moving to each "..." separately and using C-u C-m.
This patch implements this feature. It also makes a couple of other
minor changes:
* I removed a stale FIXME from dwarf-mode. In practice I find I often
use "g" to restore the buffer to a pristine state; checking the file
mtime would work against this.
* I tightened the regexp in dwarf-insert-substructure. This prevents
the C-m binding from trying to re-read a DIE which has already been
expanded.
* Finally, I've bumped the dwarf-mode version number so that this
version can easily be installed using package.el.

* dwarf-mode.el: Bump version to 1.8.

main_type::nfields is a 'short', and has been for many years. PR
c++/29985 points out that 'short' is too narrow for an enum that
contains more than 2^15 constants.
This patch bumps the size of 'nfields'. To verify that the field
isn't directly used, it is also renamed. Note that this does not
affect the size of main_type on x86-64 Fedora 36. And, if it does
have a negative effect somewhere, it's worth considering that types
could be shrunk more drastically by using subclasses for the different
codes.
This is v2 of this patch, which has these changes:
* I changed nfields to 'unsigned', per Simon's request. I looked at
changing all the uses, but this quickly fans out into a very large
patch. (One additional tweak was needed, though.)
* I wrote a test case. I discovered that GCC cannot compile a large
enough C test case, so I resorted to using the DWARF assembler.
This test doesn't reproduce the crash, but it does fail without the
patch.

I noticed a leftover mention of cooked_index_vector. This updates the
text.
|
|
In PR gdb/29854, Simon pointed out that it would be good to be able to
use C-c when the DWARF cooked index is waiting for finalization. The
idea here is to be able to interrupt a command like "break" -- not to
stop the finalization process itself, which runs in a worker thread.
This patch implements this idea, by changing the index wait functions
to, by default, allow a quit. Polling is done, because there doesn't
seem to be a better way to interrupt a wait on a std::future.
For v2, I realized that the thread compatibility code in thread-pool.h
also needed an update.

keep_relocs is set by pe_ILF_save_relocs but not used anywhere in the
coff/pe code. It is tested by the xcoff backend but not set.
keep_contents is only used by the xcoff backend when dealing with
the .loader section, and it's easy enough to dispense with it there.
keep_contents is set in various places but that's fairly useless when
the contents aren't freed anyway until later linker support functions,
add_dynamic_symbols and check_dynamic_ar_symbols. There the contents
were freed if keep_contents wasn't set. I reckon we can free them
unconditionally.
* coff-bfd.h (struct coff_section_tdata): Delete keep_relocs
and keep_contents.

keep_relocs and keep_contents are unused nowadays except by
xcofflink.c, and I can't see a reason why keep_syms needs to be set.
The external syms are read and used by sh_relax_section and used by
sh_relax_delete_bytes. There doesn't appear to be any way that
freeing them will cause trouble.

keep_contents or keep_syms.

If file size is calculated by bfd_get_file_size, as it is by
_bfd_alloc_and_read calls in coff_object_p, then it is cached and when
pe_ILF_build_a_bfd converts an archive entry over to BFD_IN_MEMORY,
the file size is no longer valid. Found when attempting objdump -t on
a very small (27 bytes) ILF file and hitting the pr24707 fix (commit
781152ec18f5). So, clear file size when setting BFD_IN_MEMORY on bfds
that may have been read. (It's not necessary in writable bfds,
because caching is ignored by bfd_get_size when bfd_write_p.)
I also think the PR 24707 fix is no longer neeeded. All of the
testcases in that PR and in PR24712 are caught earlier by file size
checks when reading the symbols from file. So I'm reverting that fix,
which just compared the size of an array of symbol pointers against
file size. That's only valid if on-disk symbols are larger than a
host pointer, so the test is better done in format-specific code.

the frame cache
The test gdb.base/frame-view.exp fails like this on AArch64:
frame^M
#0 baz (z1=hahaha, /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/value.c:4056: internal-error: value_fetch_lazy_register: Assertion `next_frame != NULL' failed.^M
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M
further debugging may prove unreliable.^M
FAIL: gdb.base/frame-view.exp: with_pretty_printer=true: frame (GDB internal error)
The sequence of events leading to this is the following:
- When we create the user frame (the "select-frame view" command), we
create a sentinel frame just for our user-created frame, in
create_new_frame. This sentinel frame has the same id as the regular
sentinel frame.
- When printing the frame, after doing the "select-frame view" command,
the argument's pretty printer is invoked, which does an inferior
function call (this is the point of the test). This clears the frame
cache, including the "real" sentinel frame, which sets the
sentinel_frame global to nullptr.
- Later in the frame-printing process (when printing the second
argument), the auto-reinflation mechanism re-creates the user frame
by calling create_new_frame again, creating its own special sentinel
frame again. However, note that the "real" sentinel frame, the
sentinel_frame global, is still nullptr. If the selected frame had
been a regular frame, we would have called get_current_frame at some
point during the reinflation, which would have re-created the "real"
sentinel frame. But it's not the case when reinflating a user frame.
- Deep down the stack, something wants to fill in the unwind stop
reason for frame 0, which requires trying to unwind frame 1. This
leads us to trying to unwind the PC of frame 1:

- AArch64 defines a special "prev register" function,
aarch64_dwarf2_prev_register, to handle unwinding the PC. This
function does
frame_unwind_register_unsigned (this_frame, AARCH64_LR_REGNUM);
- frame_unwind_register_unsigned ultimately creates a lazy register
value, saving the frame id of this_frame->next. this_frame is the
user-created frame, to this_frame->next is the special sentinel frame
we created for it. So the saved ID is the sentinel frame ID.
- When time comes to un-lazify the value, value_fetch_lazy_register
calls frame_find_by_id, to find the frame with the ID we saved.
- frame_find_by_id sees it's the sentinel frame ID, so returns the
sentinel_frame global, which is, if you remember, nullptr.
- We hit the `gdb_assert (next_frame != NULL)` assertion in
value_fetch_lazy_register.
The issues I see here are:
- The ID of the sentinel frame created for the user-created frame is
not distinguishable from the ID of the regular sentinel frame. So
there's no way frame_find_by_id could find the right frame, in
value_fetch_lazy_register.
- Even if they had distinguishable IDs, sentinel frames created for
user frames are not registered anywhere, so there's no easy way
frame_find_by_id could find it.
This patch addresses these two issues:
- Give sentinel frames created for user frames their own distinct IDs
- Register sentinel frames in the frame cache, so they can be found
with frame_find_by_id.
I initially had this split in two patches, but I then found that it was
easier to explain as a single patch.
Rergarding the first part of the change: with this patch, the sentinel
frames created for user frames (in create_new_frame) still have
stack_status == FID_STACK_SENTINEL, but their code_addr and stack_addr
fields are now filled with the addresses used to create the user frame.
This ensures this sentinel frame ID is different from the "target"
sentinel frame ID, as well as any other "user" sentinel frame ID. If
the user tries to create the same frame, with the same addresses,
multiple times, create_sentinel_frame just reuses the existing frame.
So we won't end up with multiple user sentinels with the same ID.
Regular "target" sentinel frames remain with code_addr and stack_addr
unset.
The concrete changes for that part are:
- Remove the sentinel_frame_id constant, since there isn't one
"sentinel frame ID" now. Add the frame_id_build_sentinel function
for building sentinel frame IDs and a is_sentinel_frame_id function
to check if a frame id represents a sentinel frame.
- Replace the sentinel_frame_id check in frame_find_by_id with a
comparison to `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)`. The sentinel_frame
global is meant to contain a reference to the "target" sentinel, so
the one with addresses (0, 0).
- Add stack and code address parameters to create_sentinel_frame, to be
able to create the various types of sentinel frames.
- Adjust get_current_frame to create the regular "target" sentinel.
- Adjust create_new_frame to create a sentinel with the ID specific to
the created user frame.
- Adjust sentinel_frame_prev_register to get the sentinel frame ID from
the frame_info object, since there isn't a single "sentinel frame ID"
now.
- Change get_next_frame_sentinel_okay to check for a
sentinel-frame-id-like frame ID, rather than for sentinel_frame
specifically, since this function could be called with another
sentinel frame (and we would want the assert to catch it).
The rest of the change is about registering the sentinel frame in the
frame cache:
- Change frame_stash_add's assertion to allow sentinel frame levels
(-1).
- Make create_sentinel_frame add the frame to the frame cache.
- Change the "sentinel_frame != NULL" check in reinit_frame_cache for a
check that the frame stash is not empty. The idea is that if we only
have some user-created frames in the cache when reinit_frame_cache is
called, we probably want to emit the frames invalid annotation. The
goal of that check is to avoid unnecessary repeated annotations, I
suppose, so the "frame cache not empty" check should achieve that.
After this change, I think we could theoritically get rid of the
sentienl_frame global. That sentinel frame could always be found by
looking up `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)` in the frame cache.
However, I left the global there to avoid slowing the typical case down
for nothing. I however, noted in its comment that it is an
optimization.
With this fix applied, the gdb.base/frame-view.exp now passes for me on
AArch64. value_of_register_lazy now saves the special sentinel frame ID
in the value, and value_fetch_lazy_register is able to find that
sentinel frame after the frame cache reinit and after the user-created
frame was reinflated.

frame cache
Currently, some frame resources are deallocated by iterating on the
frame chain (starting from the sentinel), calling dealloc_cache. The
problem is that user-created frames are not part of that chain, so we
never call dealloc_cache for them.
I propose to make it so the dealloc_cache callbacks are called when the
frames are removed from the frame_stash hash table, by registering a
deletion function to the hash table. This happens when
frame_stash_invalidate is called by reinit_frame_cache. This way, all
frames registered in the cache will get their unwinder's dealloc_cache
callbacks called.
Note that at the moment, the sentinel frames are not registered in the
cache, so we won't call dealloc_cache for them. However, it's just a
theoritical problem, because the sentinel frame unwinder does not
provide this callback. Also, a subsequent patch will change things so
that sentinel frames are registered to the cache.
I moved the obstack_free / obstack_init pair below the
frame_stash_invalidate call in reinit_frame_cache, because I assumed
that some dealloc_cache would need to access some data on that obstack,
so it would be better to free it after clearing the hash table.
