Commit 244e19c79111 changed a number of variables in display_gdb_index
to count entries rather than words.

* dwarf.c (display_gdb_index): Correct use of cu_list_elements.

The PR29370 testcase is a fuzzed object file with multiple
.trace_abbrev sections. Multiple .trace_abbrev or .debug_abbrev
sections are not a violation of the DWARF standard. The DWARF5
standard even gives an example of multiple .debug_abbrev sections
contained in groups. Caching and lookup of processed abbrevs thus
needs to be done by section and offset rather than base and offset.
(Why base anyway?) Or, since section contents are kept, by a pointer
into the contents.

I'm inclined to think that abbrev caching is counter-productive. The
time taken to search the list of abbrevs converted to internal form is
non-zero, and it's easy to decode the raw abbrevs. It's especially
silly to cache empty lists of decoded abbrevs (happens with zero
padding in .debug_abbrev), or abbrevs as they are displayed when there
is no further use of those abbrevs. This patch stops caching in those
cases.

Python 3.11 deprecates PySys_SetPath and Py_SetProgramName. The
PyConfig API replaces these and other functions. This commit uses the
PyConfig API to provide equivalent functionality while also preserving
support for older versions of Python, i.e. those before Python 3.8.
A beta version of Python 3.11 is available in Fedora Rawhide. Both
Fedora 35 and Fedora 36 use Python 3.10, while Fedora 34 still used
Python 3.9. I've tested these changes on Fedora 34, Fedora 36, and
rawhide, though complete testing was not possible on rawhide due to
a kernel bug. That being the case, I decided to enable the newer
PyConfig API by testing PY_VERSION_HEX against 0x030a0000. This
corresponds to Python 3.10.
We could try to use the PyConfig API for Python versions as early as 3.8,
but I'm reluctant to do this as there may have been PyConfig related
bugs in earlier versions which have since been fixed. Recent linux
distributions should have support for Python 3.10. This should be
more than adequate for testing the new Python initialization code in
GDB.
Information about the PyConfig API as well as the motivation behind
deprecating the old interface can be found at these links:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88279
https://peps.python.org/pep-0587/
https://docs.python.org/3.11/c-api/init_config.html
The v2 commit also addresses several problems that Simon found in
the v1 version.
In v1, I had used Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization
code, but Simon pointed out that this global configuration variable
will be deprecated in Python 3.12. This version of the patch no longer
uses Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization code.
Additionally, both Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag and Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag
will no longer be used when building GDB against Python 3.10 or higher.
While it's true that both of these global configuration variables are
deprecated in Python 3.12, it makes sense to disable their use for
gdb builds against 3.10 and higher since those are the versions for
which the PyConfig API is now being used by GDB. (The PyConfig API
includes different mechanisms for making the same settings afforded
by use of the soon-to-be deprecated global configuration variables.)
Simon also noted that PyConfig_Clear() would not have be called for
one of the failure paths. I've fixed that problem and also made the
rest of the "bail out" code more direct. In particular,
PyConfig_Clear() will always be called, both for success and failure.
The v3 patch addresses some rebase conflicts related to module
initialization . Commit 3acd9a692dd ("Make 'import gdb.events' work")
uses PyImport_ExtendInittab instead of PyImport_AppendInittab. That
commit also initializes a struct for each module to import. Both the
initialization and the call to were moved ahead of the ifdefs to avoid
having to replicate (at least some of) the code three times in various
portions of the ifdefs.

Building GDB currently fails to build with libc++, because libc++ is
stricter about which headers "leak" entities they're not guaranteed
to support. The following headers have been added:
* `<iterator>`, to support `std::back_inserter`
* `<utility>`, to support `std::move` and `std::swap`
* `<vector>`, to support `std::vector`

In all-stop mode, when the target is itself in non-stop mode (like
GNU/Linux), if you use the "step N" (or "stepi/next/nexti N") to step
a thread a number of times:
(gdb) help step
step, s
Step program until it reaches a different source line.
Usage: step [N]
Argument N means step N times (or till program stops for another reason).
... GDB prematurely stops all threads after the first step, and
doesn't re-resume them for the subsequent N-1 steps. It's as if for
the 2nd and subsequent steps, the command was running with
scheduler-locking enabled.
This can be observed with the testcase added by this commit, which
looks like this:
static pthread_barrier_t barrier;
static void *
thread_func (void *arg)
{
pthread_barrier_wait (&barrier);
return NULL;
}
int
main ()
{
pthread_t thread;
int ret;
pthread_barrier_init (&barrier, NULL, 2);
/* We run to this line below, and then issue "next 3". That should
step over the 3 lines below and land on the return statement. If
GDB prematurely stops the thread_func thread after the first of
the 3 nexts (and never resumes it again), then the join won't
ever return. */
pthread_create (&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL); /* set break here */
pthread_barrier_wait (&barrier);
pthread_join (thread, NULL);
return 0;
}
The test hangs and times out without the GDB fix:
(gdb) next 3
[New Thread 0x7ffff7d89700 (LWP 525772)]
FAIL: gdb.threads/step-N-all-progress.exp: non-stop=off: target-non-stop=on: next 3 (timeout)
The problem is a core gdb bug.
When you do "step/stepi/next/nexti N", GDB internally creates a
thread_fsm object and associates it with the stepping thread. For the
stepping commands, the FSM's class is step_command_fsm. That object
is what keeps track of how many steps are left to make. When one step
finishes, handle_inferior_event calls stop_waiting and returns, and
then fetch_inferior_event calls the "should_stop" method of the event
thread's FSM. The implementation of that method decrements the
steps-left counter. If the counter is 0, it returns true and we
proceed to presenting the stop to the user. If it isn't 0 yet, then
the method returns false, indicating to fetch_inferior_event to "keep
going".
Focusing now on when the first step finishes -- we're in "all-stop"
mode, with the target in non-stop mode. When a step finishes,
handle_inferior_event calls stop_waiting, which itself calls
stop_all_threads to stop everything. I.e., after the first step
completes, all threads are stopped, before handle_inferior_event
returns. And after that, now in fetch_inferior_event, we consult the
thread's thread_fsm::should_stop, which as we've seen, for the first
step returns false -- i.e., we need to keep_going for another step.
However, since the target is in non-stop mode, keep_going resumes
_only_ the current thread. All the other threads remain stopped,
inadvertently.
If the target is in non-stop mode, we don't actually need to stop all
threads right after each step finishes, and then re-resume them again.
We can instead defer stopping all threads until all the steps are
completed.
So fix this by delaying the stopping of all threads until after we
called the FSM's "should_stop" method. I.e., move it from
stop_waiting, to handle_inferior_events's callers,
fetch_inferior_event and wait_for_inferior.
New test included. Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux native and gdbserver.

Assuming GMSD is a special operand, marked as O_md1, the code:
.set VREG, GMSD
.set REG, VREG

...fails upon attempts to resolve the value of the symbol. This happens
since machine-dependent values are not handled in the giant op switch.
We introduce a custom md_resolve_symbol macro; the ports can use this
macro to customize the behavior when resolve_symbol_value hits O_md

Call _bfd_elf_symbol_refs_local_p with local_protected==true. This has
2 noticeable effects for -shared:
* GOT-generating relocations referencing a protected data symbol no
longer lead to a GLOB_DAT (similar to a hidden symbol).
* Direct access relocations (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32) no longer has the
confusing diagnostic below.
__attribute__((visibility("protected"))) void *foo() {
return (void *)foo;
}
// gcc -fpic -shared -fuse-ld=bfd
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against protected symbol `foo' can not be used when making a shared object
The new behavior matches arm, aarch64 (commit
83c325007c5599fa9b60b8d5f7b84842160e1d1b), and powerpc ports, and other
linkers: gold and ld.lld.
Note: if some code tries to use direct access relocations to take the
address of foo, the pointer equality will break, but the error should be
reported on the executable link, not on the innocent shared object link.
glibc 2.36 will give a warning at relocation resolving time.
With this change, `#define elf_backend_extern_protected_data 1` is no
longer effective. Just remove it.
Remove the test "Run protected-func-1 without PIE" since -fno-pic
address taken operation in the executable doesn't work with protected
symbol in a shared object by default. Similarly, remove
protected-data-1a and protected-data-1b. protected-data-1b can be made
working by removing HAVE_LD_PIE_COPYRELOC from GCC
(https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-June/596678.html).

Teach GDB how to dump memory tags for AArch64 when using the gcore command
and how to read memory tag data back from a core file generated by GDB
(via gcore) or by the Linux kernel.
The format is documented in the Linux Kernel documentation [1].
Each tagged memory range (listed in /proc/<pid>/smaps) gets dumped to its
own PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE segment. A section named ".memtag" is created for each
of those segments when reading the core file back.
To save a little bit of space, given MTE tags only take 4 bits, the memory tags
are stored packed as 2 tags per byte.
When reading the data back, the tags are unpacked.
I've added a new testcase to exercise the feature.
Build-tested with --enable-targets=all and regression tested on aarch64-linux
Ubuntu 20.04.

The Linux kernel can dump memory tag segments to a core file, one segment
per mapped range. The format and documentation can be found in the Linux
kernel tree [1].
The following patch adjusts bfd and binutils so they can handle this new
segment type and display it accordingly. It also adds code required so GDB
can properly read/dump core file data containing memory tags.
Upon reading, each segment that contains memory tags gets mapped to a
section named "memtag". These sections will be used by GDB to lookup the tag
data. There can be multiple such sections with the same name, and they are not
numbered to simplify GDB's handling and lookup.
There is another patch for GDB that enables both reading
and dumping of memory tag segments.
Tested on aarch64-linux Ubuntu 20.04.

Currently, Python code can use event registries to detect when gdb
loads a new objfile, and when gdb clears the objfile list. However,
there's no way to detect the removal of an objfile, say when the
inferior calls dlclose.
This patch adds a gdb.free_objfile event registry and arranges for an
event to be emitted in this case.

I noticed that gdb.base/bt-on-fatal-signal.exp was contributing four
core files to the count of unexpected core files:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.base/bt-on-fatal-signal.exp"

These are GDB core dumps. They are expected, however, because the
whole point of the testcase is to crash GDB with a signal.
Make GDB change its current directory to the output dir just before
crashing, so that the core files end up there. The result is now:

Currently the Ada code assumes that it can distinguish between a
multi-dimensional array and an array of arrays by looking for an
intervening typedef -- that is, for an array of arrays, there will be
a typedef wrapping the innermost array type.
A recent compiler change removes this typedef, which causes a gdb
failure in the internal AdaCore test suite.
This patch handles this case by checking whether the array type in
question has a name.

It is possible that a system might have a python3 executable, but no
python executable. For example, on my Fedora system the python2
package provides /usr/bin/python2, the python3 package provides
/usr/bin/python3, and the python-unversioned-command package provides
/usr/bin/python, which picks between python2 and python3.
It is quite possible to only have python3 available on a system.
Currently, when GDB configures, it looks for a 'python' executable.
If non is found then GDB will be built without python support. Or the
user needs to configure using --with-python=/usr/bin/python3.
This commit updates GDB's configure.ac script to first look for
'python', and then 'python3'. Now, on a system that only has a
python3 executable, GDB will automatically find, and use that in order
to provide python support, no user supplied configure arguments are
needed.
I've tested this on my local machine by removing the
python-unversioned-command package, confirming that there is no longer
a 'python' executable in my $PATH, and then rebuilding GDB from
scratch. GDB with this patch has python support.

Both forms were missing VexW0 (thus allowing Evex.W=1 to be encoded by
suitable means, which would cause #UD). The memory operand form further
was using the wrong Masking value, thus allowing zeroing-masking to be
encoded for the store form (which would again cause #UD).

This saves quite a number of shift instructions: The "operands" field
can now be retrieved by just masking (no shift), and extracting the
"extension_opcode" field now only requires a (signed) right shift, with
no prereq left one. (Of course there may be architectures where, in a
cross build, there might be no difference at all, e.g. when there are
suitable bitfield extraction insns.)

When running a task using parallel_for_each, we get the following

Parallel for: elements on worker thread 2 : 1817
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 3 : 0
Parallel for: elements on main thread : 1820
...
Note that there are 4 active threads, and scheduling elts_per_thread on each
of those handles 4 * 1817 == 7268, leaving 3 "left over" elements.
These leftovers are currently handled in the main thread.
That doesn't seem to matter much for this example, but for say 10 threads and
99 elements, you'd have 9 threads handling 9 elements and 1 thread handling 18
elements.
Instead, distribute the left over elements over the worker threads, such that
we have:
...
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 0 : 1818
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 1 : 1818
Parallel for: elements on worker thread 2 : 1818

because this test case predates the existance of gdb_test_multiple. This
commit updates the test case to use gdb_test_multiple, making it more
resilient to internal errors and such.
The only gdb_expect left in the testcase is one that specifically looks
for an internal error being triggered as a PASS.

When I rebased and updated the print_options patch, I forgot to update
print_options to add the new 'nibbles' feature to the result. This
patch fixes the oversight. I'm checking this in.

The test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp fails on a gdb assert
in function ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in file gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c. The
assert is due to the missing IEEE 128-bit support in file
gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c.
The IBM long double was the initial float 128-bit support added by IBM
The IEEE 128-bit support, which is similar IBM long double support, was
made the default starting with GCC 12. The floating point format
differences include the number of bits used to encode the exponent
and significand. Also, IBM long double values are passed in a pair of
floating point registers. The IEEE 128-bit value is passed in a single
vector register.
This patch fixes the gdb_assert (ok); in function
ppc64_sysv_abi_return_value in gdb/ppc-sysv-tdep.c by adding IEEE FLOAT
128-bit type support for PowerPC.
The patch has been tested on Power 10, ELFv2. It fixes the following list
of regression failures on Power 10:
gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c.exp 192
gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs-c++.exp 76
gdb.base/structs.exp 9
The patch has been tested on Power 8 BE which is ELFv1.

This adds a 'summary' mode to Value.format_string and to
gdb.print_options. For the former, it lets Python code format values
using this mode. For the latter, it lets a printer potentially detect
if it is being called in a backtrace with 'set print frame-arguments'
set to 'scalars'.
I considered adding a new mode here to let a pretty-printer see
whether it was being called in a 'backtrace' context at all, but I'm
not sure if this is really desirable.
