2023-12-15sim: sh: adjust some dsp insn masksMike Frysinger1-3/+3
The pmuls encoding is incorrect -- it looks like a copy & paste error from the padd pmuls variant. The SuperH software manual covers this. On the flip side, the manual lists pwsb & pwad as insns that exist, but no description of what they do, what the insn name means, or the actual encoding. Our sim implementation stubs them both out as nops. Let's mark the fields to avoid unused variable warnings.

Fix a few problems caught by compiler warnings: * Some of the asr & lsr insns were setting up the c state flag, but then forgetting to set it in the PSW. Add it like the other asr & lsr variants. * Some of the dmulh insns were multiplying one of the source regs against itself instead of against the other source reg. * The sat16_cmp parallel insn was using the wrong register in the compare -- the reg1 src/dst pair are used in the sat16 op, and the reg2 src/dst pair are used in the add op.

2023-12-15Refine Ada overload matchingTom Tromey3-11/+108
Currently, the overload handling in Ada assumes that any two array types are compatible. However, this is obviously untrue, and a user reported an oddity where comparing two Ada strings resulted in a call to the "=" function for packed boolean arrays. This patch improves the situation somewhat, by requiring that the two arrays have the same arity and compatible base element types. This is still over-broad, but it seems safe and is better than the status quo.

Hi, This patch contains a reformatting of -march option section in gas documentation. For instance (see https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.41/as.html#ARM-Options), before all the options were on one line: For armv8-a: +crc: Enables CRC32 Extension. +simd: Enables VFP and NEON for Armv8-A. +crypto: Enables Cryptography Extensions for Armv8-A, implies +simd. +sb: Enables Speculation Barrier Instruction for Armv8-A. +predres: Enables Execution and Data Prediction Restriction Instruction for Armv8-A. +nofp: Disables all FPU, NEON and Cryptography Extensions. +nocrypto: Disables Cryptography Extensions. Now, the readability is improved thanks to the itemization of the options: For armv8-a: +crc: Enables CRC32 Extension. +simd: Enables VFP and NEON for Armv8-A. +crypto: Enables Cryptography Extensions for Armv8-A, implies +simd. +sb: Enables Speculation Barrier Instruction for Armv8-A. +predres: Enables Execution and Data Prediction Restriction Instruction for Armv8-A. +nofp: Disables all FPU, NEON and Cryptography Extensions. +nocrypto: Disables Cryptography Extensions.

2023-12-15x86: last-insn recording should be per-subsectionJan Beulich5-0/+77
Otherwise intermediate subsection switches result in inconsistent behavior. Leverage ELF's section change hook to switch state as necessary, limiting overhead to the bare minimum when subsections aren't used.
2023-12-15ELF: reliably invoke md_elf_section_change_hook()Jan Beulich1-11/+18
... after any (sub)section change. While certain existing target hooks only look at now_seg, for a few others it looks as if failing to do so could have caused anomalies if sub-sections were used. In any event a subsequent x86 change is going to require the sub-section to be properly in place at the time the hook is invoked. This primarily means for obj_elf_section() to pass the new subsection into change_section(), for it to be set right away (ahead of invoking the hook). Also adjust obj_elf_ident() to invoke the hook after all section changes. (Note that obj_elf_version(), which also changes sections and then changes them back, has no hook invocation at all so far, so none are added. Presumably there is a reason for this difference in behavior.)

2023-12-15x86: fold assembly dialect attributesJan Beulich6-7503/+3760
Now that ATTSyntax and ATTMnemonic aren't use in combination anymore, fold them and IntelSyntax into a single, enum-like attribute. Note that this shrinks i386_opcode_modifier back to 2 32-bit words (albeit that's not for long, seeing in-flight additions for APX).
2023-12-15x86: Intel syntax implies Intel mnemonicsJan Beulich11-387/+328
As noted in the context of d53e6b98a259 ("x86/Intel: correct disassembly of fsub*/fdiv*") there's no such thing as Intel syntax without Intel mnemonics. Enforce this on the assembler side, and disentangle command line option handling on the disassembler side accordingly. As a result in the opcode table specifying ATTMnemonic|ATTSyntax becomes redundant with just ATTMnemonic. Drop the now meaningless ATTSyntax and remove the then no longer accessible templates.

2023-12-14gdb/options: fix copy&paste error in string_option_defAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
Spotted what appears to be a copy&paste error in string_option_def, the code for string handling writes the address fetching callback function into the option_def::var_address::enumeration location, rather than option_def::var_address::string. Of course, this works just fine as option_def::var_address is a union, and all of its members are function pointers, so they're going to be the same size on every target GDB cares about. But it doesn't hurt to be correct, so fixed in this commit. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

It seems like the intention here is to read the contents of the ZA register and only write part of it. However, there's no actual read of the ZA register, so it looks like we'll write uninitialized bytes to the target, for the portion of the raw register where we don't write the pseudo register. Add a call to raw_read to fix this. I don't know how to test this though.

2023-12-14gdb: read pseudo register through frameSimon Marchi12-285/+322
Change gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to take a frame instead of a regcache. The frame (and formerly the regcache) is used to read raw registers needed to make up the pseudo register value. The problem with using the regcache is that it always provides raw register values for the current frame (frame 0). Let's say the user wants to read the ebx register on amd64. ebx is a pseudo register, obtained by reading the bottom half (bottom 4 bytes) of the rbx register, which is a raw register. If the currently selected frame is frame 0, it works fine: (gdb) frame 0 #0 break_here_asm () at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S:36 36 in /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S (gdb) p/x $ebx $1 = 0x24252627 (gdb) p/x $rbx $2 = 0x2021222324252627 But if the user is looking at another frame, and the raw register behind the pseudo register has been saved at some point in the call stack, then we get a wrong answer: (gdb) frame 1 #1 0x000055555555517d in caller () at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S:56 56 in /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S (gdb) p/x $ebx $3 = 0x24252627 (gdb) p/x $rbx $4 = 0x1011121314151617 Here, the value of ebx was computed using the value of rbx in frame 0 (through the regcache), it should have been computed using the value of rbx in frame 1. In other to make this work properly, make the following changes: - Make dwarf2_frame_prev_register return nullptr if it doesn't know how to unwind a register and that register is a pseudo register. Previously, it returned `frame_unwind_got_register`, meaning, in our example, "the value of ebx in frame 1 is the same as the value of ebx in frame 0", which is obviously false. Return nullptr as a way to say "I don't know". - In frame_unwind_register_value, when prev_register (for instance dwarf2_frame_prev_register) returns nullptr, and we are trying to read a pseudo register, try to get the register value through gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value or gdbarch_pseudo_register_read. If using gdbarch_pseudo_register_read, the behavior is known to be broken. Implementations should be migrated to use gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to fix that. - Change gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to take a frame_info instead of a regcache, update implementations (aarch64, amd64, i386). In i386-tdep.c, I made a copy of i386_mmx_regnum_to_fp_regnum that uses a frame instead of a regcache. The version using the regcache is still used by i386_pseudo_register_write. It will get removed in a subsequent patch. - Add some helpers in value.{c,h} to implement the common cases of pseudo registers: taking part of a raw register and concatenating multiple raw registers. - Update readable_regcache::{cooked_read,cooked_read_value} to pass the current frame to gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value. Passing the current frame will give the same behavior as before: for frame 0, raw registers will be read from the current thread's regcache. Notes: - I do not plan on changing gdbarch_pseudo_register_read to receive a frame instead of a regcache. That method is considered deprecated. Instead, we should be working on migrating implementations to use gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value instead. - In frame_unwind_register_value, we still ask the unwinder to try to unwind pseudo register values. It's apparently possible for the debug info to provide information about [1] pseudo registers, so we want to try that first, before falling back to computing them ourselves.

2023-12-14gdb: change value_of_register and value_of_register_lazy to take the next frameSimon Marchi17-49/+53
Some functions related to the handling of registers in frames accept "this frame", for which we want to read or write the register values, while other functions accept "the next frame", which is the frame next to that. The later is needed because we sometimes need to read register values for a frame that does not exist yet (usually when trying to unwind that frame-to-be). value_of_register and value_of_register_lazy both take "this frame", even if what they ultimately want internally is "the next frame". This is annoying if you are in a spot that currently has "the next frame" and need to call one of these functions (which happens later in this series). You need to get the previous frame only for those functions to get the next frame again. This is more manipulations, more chances of mistake. I propose to change these functions (and a few more functions in the subsequent patches) to operate on "the next frame". Things become a bit less awkward when all these functions agree on which frame they take. So, in this patch, change value_of_register_lazy and value_of_register to take "the next frame" instead of "this frame". This adds a lot of get_next_frame_sentinel_okay, but if we convert the user registers API to also use "the next frame" instead of "this frame", it will get simple again.

2023-12-14gdb: fix bugs in {get,put}_frame_register_bytesSimon Marchi1-40/+23
I found this only by inspection: the myaddr pointer in {get,put}_frame_register_bytes is reset to `buffer.data ()` at each iteration. This means that we will always use the bytes at the beginning of `buffer` to read or write to the registers, instead of progressing in `buffer`. Fix this by re-writing the functions to chip away the beginning of the buffer array_view as we progress in reading or writing the data. These bugs was introduced almost 3 years ago [1], and yet nobody complained. I'm wondering which architecture relies on that register "overflow" behavior (reading or writing multiple consecutive registers with one {get,put}_frame_register_bytes calls), and in which situation. I find these functions a bit dangerous, if a caller mis-calculates things, it could end up silently reading or writing to the next register, even if it's not the intent. If I could change it, I would prefer to have functions specifically made for that ({get,put}_frame_register_bytes_consecutive or something like that) and make {get,put}_frame_register_bytes only able to write within a single register (which I presume represents most of the use cases of the current {get,put}_frame_register_bytes). If a caller mis-calculates things and an overflow occurs while calling {get,put}_frame_register_bytes, it would hit an assert. The problem is knowing which callers rely on the overflow behavior and which don't.
