This commit introduces basic support for baremetal RiscV as a GDB
target. This target is currently only tested against the RiscV software
simulator, which is not included as part of this commit. The target has
been tested against the following RiscV variants: rv32im, rv32imc,
rv32imf, rv32imfc, rv64im, rv64imc, rv64imfd, rv64imfdc.
Across these variants we pass on average 34858 tests, and fail 272
tests, which is ~0.8%.
The RiscV has a feature of its ABI where structures with a single
floating point field, a single complex float field, or one float and
one integer field are treated differently for argument passing. The
new test gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs.exp is added to cover this
feature. As passing these structures should work on all targets then
I've made the test as a generic one, even though, for most targets,
there's probably nothing special about any of these cases.

Since the 'info proc' support on FreeBSD does not use /proc, reword
the documentation for 'info proc' to not assume /proc. This includes
renaming the node to 'Process Information' and suggesting that
additional process information can be queried via different
OS-specific interfaces. This is also cleans up the description of
'info proc' support for core files a bit as /proc is not used for core
file support on any current platform.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* NEWS: Document that 'info proc' now works on FreeBSD.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (pwd): Update cross-reference for Process Information
node and remove explicit /proc reference.
(Native): Rename subsection from SVR4 Process Information to
Process Information.

centric. Document support for "info proc" on FreeBSD.

When using gdb for debugging Ada source code, there are several catchpoint
types you can define in order to stop upon certain conditions. Let's
use this small example:
procedure Foo is
begin
begin
raise Constraint_Error;
exception
when Program_Error =>
null;
when Constraint_Error =>
null;
when others =>
null;
end;
end Foo;
One can stop when the exception is being raised by using the exception
catchpoint like below:
(gdb) catch exception
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions
(gdb)
In that case, when running Foo, gdb will stop at the line where the exception
was raised:
begin
>>> raise Constraint_Error;
exception
This patch introduces new type of catchpoint, when the user wants to stop
at the location of the exception handling.
Imagine we want to stop on any exception handled by the program, we can do:
(gdb) catch handlers
Catchpoint 1: all Ada exceptions handlers
(gdb) r
Starting program: /tmp/foo
By doing so, when running Foo, gdb will stop here:
Catchpoint 1, exception at 0x000000000040255a in foo () at foo.adb:25
25 when Constraint_Error =>
(gdb)
It is also possible to stop when the Constraint_Error exception is being
handled in this program. With this patch, we can use:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error
Catchpoint 1: `Constraint_Error' Ada exception handlers
(gdb)
Like for other catchpoint, you can set a condition when adding a catchpoint
on exception handlers.
Here the handlers catchpoint checks Global_Var:
(gdb) catch handlers Constraint_Error if Global_Var /= 0

This commit implements the pahole-like '/o' option for 'ptype', which
prints the offsets and sizes of struct fields, reporting whenever
there is a hole found.
The output is heavily based on pahole(1), with a few modifications
here and there to adjust it to our reality. Here's an example:
/* offset | size */ type = struct wer : public tuv {
public:
/* 32 | 24 */ struct tyu {
/* 32:31 | 4 */ int a1 : 1;
/* 32:28 | 4 */ int a2 : 3;
/* 32: 5 | 4 */ int a3 : 23;
/* 35: 3 | 1 */ char a4 : 2;
/* XXX 3-bit hole */
/* XXX 4-byte hole */
/* 40 | 8 */ int64_t a5;
/* 48:27 | 4 */ int a6 : 5;
/* 48:56 | 8 */ int64_t a7 : 3;
/* total size (bytes): 24 */
} a1;
/* total size (bytes): 56 */
}
A big part of this patch handles the formatting logic of 'ptype',
which is a bit messy. The code to handle bitfield offsets, however,
took some time to craft. My thanks to Pedro Alves for figuring things
out and pointing me to the right direction, as well as coming up with
a way to inspect the layout of structs with bitfields (see testcase
for comments).
After many discussions both on IRC and at the mailing list, I tried to
implement printing vtables and inherited classes. Unfortunately the
code grew too complex and there were still a few corner cases failing
so I had to drop the attempt. This should be implemented in a future
patch.
This patch is the start of a long-term work I'll do to flush the local
patches we carry for Fedora GDB. In this specific case, I'm aiming at
upstreaming the feature implemented by the 'pahole.py' script that is
shipped with Fedora GDB:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdb/blob/master/f/gdb-archer.patch#_311>
This has been regression-tested on the BuildBot. There's a new
testcase for it, along with an update to the documentation. I also
thought it was worth mentioning this feature in the NEWS file.

This patch adds the possibility to pass a qualified=True|False parameter
when creating a breakpoint in Python. It is equivalent to using
-qualified in a linespec. The parameter actually accepts any Python
value, and converts it to boolean using Python's standard rules for
that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#truth).
Unlike the -source/-line/-function/-label parameters, it is possible to
use -qualified with a "normal" (non-explicit) linespec. Therefore, it
is possible (unlike these other parameters) to use this new parameter
along with the spec parameter.
I updated the py-breakpoint.exp test. To be able to test multiple
locations using a namespace, I had to switch the test case to compile as
C++. If we really wanted to, we could run it as both C and C++, but
omit the C++-specific parts when running it as C.

GDB currently does not track types defined in classes. Consider:
class A
{
public:
class B
{
public:
class C { };
};
};
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
}
This patch changes this behavior so that GDB records these nested types
and displays them to the user when he has set the (new) "print type"
option "nested-type-limit."
Example:
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 1
(gdb) ptype A
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
};
}
(gdb) set print type nested-type-limit 2
type = class A {
<no data fields>
class A::B {
<no data fields>
class A::B::C {
<no data fields>
};
};
}
By default, the code maintains the status quo, that is, it will not print
any nested type definitions at all.
Testing is carried out via cp_ptype_class which required quite a bit of
modification to permit recursive calling (for the nested types). This
was most easily facilitated by turning the ptype command output into a
queue. Upshot: the test suite now has stack and queue data structures that
may be used by test writers.

The purpose of this concept is to turn the load of debugging
information off, either globally (via the '--readnever' option), or
objfile-specific. The implementation proposed here is an extension of
the patch distributed with Fedora GDB; looking at the Fedora patch
itself and the history, one can see some reasons why it was never
resubmitted:
- The patch appears to have been introduced as a workaround, at
least initially;
- The patch is far from perfect, as it simply shunts the load of
DWARF debugging information, without really worrying about the
other debug format.
- Who really does non-symbolic debugging anyways?
One use of this feature is when a user simply wants to do the
following sequence: attach, dump core, detach. Loading the debugging
information in this case is an unnecessary cause of delay.
This patch expands the version shipped with Fedora GDB in order to
make the feature available for all the debuginfo backends, not only
for DWARF. It also implements a per-objfile flag which can be
activated by using the "-readnever" command when using the
'add-symbol-file' or 'symbol-file' commands.
It's also worth mentioning that this patch tests whether GDB correctly
fails to initialize if both '--readnow' and '--readnever' options are
passed.
Tested on the BuildBot.

Trying to set a breakpoint in a function with an ABI tag does not work
currently. E.g., debugging gdb itself, we see this with the
"string_printf" function:
(top-gdb) b string_print [TAB]
(top-gdb) b string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...) [RET]
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
Quoting doesn't help:
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11]'(char const*, ...)
malformed linespec error: unexpected string, "(char const*, ...)"
(top-gdb) b 'string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)'
No source file named string_printf[abi.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) n
This patch fixes this, and takes it a bit further.
The actual symbol name as demangled by libiberty's demangler is really
string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)
however, this patch makes it possible to set the breakpoint with
string_printf(char const*, ...)
too. I.e., ignoring the ABI tag.
And to match, it teaches the completer to complete the symbol name
without the ABI tag, i.e.,
"string_pri<TAB>" -> "string_printf(char const*, ...)"
If however, you really want to break on a symbol with the tag, then
you simply start writing the tag, and GDB will preserve it, like:
"string_printf[a<TAB>" -> "string_printf[abi:cxx11](char const*, ...)"

This patch teaches GDB about setting breakpoints in all scopes
(namespaces and classes) by default.
Here's a contrived example:
(gdb) b func<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::A::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function() function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::A::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const Bn::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function()
(anonymous namespace)::function() Bn::B::func() gdb::(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int)
(anonymous namespace)::function(int, int) Bn::B::function() gdb::A::func()
A::func() Bn::func() gdb::A::function()
A::function() Bn::function() gdb::func()
B::func() Bn::function(int, int) gdb::function()
B::function() Bn::function(long) gdb::function(int, int)
B::function() const func() gdb::function(long)
B::function_const() const function()
(gdb) b function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4005ce: function. (26 locations)
(gdb) b B::function<tab>
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
(gdb) b B::function
Breakpoint 1 at 0x40072c: B::function. (6 locations)
To get back the original behavior of interpreting the function name as
a fully-qualified name, you can use the new "-qualified" (or "-q")
option/flag (added by this commit). For example:
(gdb) b B::function
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() B::function() const Bn::B::function()
(anonymous namespace)::B::function() const B::function_const() const
B::function() Bn::(anonymous namespace)::B::function()
vs:
(gdb) b -qualified B::function
B::function() B::function() const B::function_const() const
I've chosen "-qualified" / "-q" because "-f" (for "full" or
"fully-qualified") is already taken for "-function".
Note: the "-qualified" option works with both linespecs and explicit
locations. I.e., these are equivalent:
(gdb) b -q func
(gdb) b -q -f func
and so are these:
(gdb) b -q filename.cc:func
(gdb) b -q -s filename.cc -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -q -f func
(gdb) b -s filename.cc -f func -q
To better understand why I consider wild matching the better default,
consider what happens when we get to the point when _all_ of GDB is
wrapped under "namespace gdb {}". I have a patch series that does
that, and when I started debugging that GDB, I immediately became
frustrated. You'd have to write "b gdb::internal_error", "b
gdb::foo", "b gdb::bar", etc. etc., which gets annoying pretty
quickly. OTOH, consider how this makes it very easy to set
breakpoints in classes wrapped in anonymous namespaces. You just
don't think of them, GDB finds the symbols for you automatically.
(At the Cauldron a couple months ago, several people told me that they
run into a similar issue when debugging other C++ projects. One
example was when debugging LLVM, which puts all its code under the
"llvm" namespace.)
Implementation-wise, what the patch does is:
- makes C++ symbol name hashing only consider the last component of
a symbol name. (so that we can look up symbol names by
last-component name only).
- adds a C++ symbol name matcher for symbol_name_match_type::WILD,
which ignores missing leading specifiers / components.
- adjusts a few preexisting testsuite tests to use "-qualified" when
they mean it.
- adds new testsuite tests.
- adds unit tests.

This patch enhances the debugger to print the exception message, when
available, as part of an exception catchpoint hit notification (both
GDB/CLI and GDB/MI). For instance, with the following code...
procedure A is
begin
raise Constraint_Error with "hello world";
end A;
... instead of printing...
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR at 0x000000000040245c in a () at a.adb:3
... it now prints:
Catchpoint 1, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (hello world) at 0x000000000040245c in a ()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This enhancement requires runtime support. If not present, the debugger
just behaves as before.
In GDB/MI mode, if the exception message is available, it is provided
as an extra field named "exception-message" in the catchpoint notification:
*stopped,bkptno="1",[...],exception-name="CONSTRAINT_ERROR",
exception-message="hello world",[...]

This second patch introduces mfpr_float_ops, an new implementation
of target_float_ops. This implements precise emulation of target
floating-point formats using the MPFR library. This is then used
to perform operations on types that do not match any host type.
Note that use of MPFR is still not required. The patch adds
a configure option --with-mpfr similar to --with-expat. If use of
MPFR is disabled via the option or MPFR is not available, code will
fall back to current behavior. This means that operations on types
that do not match any host type will be implemented on the host
long double type instead.
A new test case verifies that we can correctly print the largest
__float128 value now.

When a breakpoint has multiple locations, like e.g.:
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x080486a2 in void foo<int>()...
1.2 y 0x080486ca in void foo<double>()...
[....]
1.5 y 0x080487fa in void foo<long>()...
it's possible to enable/disable the individual locations using the
'<breakpoint_number>.<location_number>' syntax, like e.g.:
(gdb) disable 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5
That's inconvenient when you have a long list of locations to disable,
however.
This patch adds shorthand for the above, by making it possible to
specify a range of locations with the following syntax (similar to
thread id ranges):
<breakpoint_number>.<first_location_number>-<last_location_number>
For example, the command above can now be simplified to:
(gdb) disable 1.2-5

Support for collecting and supplying general purpose and floating

FreeBSD/arm kernels do populate NT_FPREGSET notes, they are always
zero-filled, so this implementation ignores them. Recent FreeBSD/arm
kernels generate NT_ARM_VFP notes which are used to supply
floating-point registers. As with Linux, the AT_HWCAP feature flags
are used to determine the correct target description.

This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.

This commit adds new "set/show cwd" commands, which are used to
set/show the current working directory of the inferior that will be
started.
The idea here is that "set cwd" will become the de facto way of
setting the inferior's cwd. Currently, the user can use "cd" for
that, but there are side effects: with "cd", GDB also switches to
another directory, and that can impact the loading of scripts and
other files. With "set cwd", we separate the logic into a new
command.
To maintain backward compatibility, if the user issues a "cd" command
but doesn't use "set cwd", then the inferior's cwd will still be
changed according to what the user specified. However, "set cwd" has
precedence over "cd", so it can always be used to override it.
"set cwd" works in the following way:
- If the user sets the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", then this
directory is saved into current_inferior ()->cwd and is used when
the inferior is started (see below).
- If the user doesn't set the inferior's cwd by using "set cwd", but
rather use the "cd" command as before, then this directory is
inherited by the inferior because GDB will have chdir'd into it.
On Unix-like hosts, the way the directory is changed before the
inferior execution is by expanding the user set directory before the
fork, and then "chdir" after the call to fork/vfork on
"fork_inferior", but before the actual execution. On Windows, the
inferior cwd set by the user is passed directly to the CreateProcess
call, which takes care of the actual chdir for us.
This way, we'll make sure that GDB's cwd is not affected by the user
set cwd.

Given that GCC has obsoleted/removed support for Solaris 9 in GCC 4.9/5 in 2013:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00728.html
and the last gdb version that can be compiled with gcc 4.9 is 7.12.1 only when
configured with --disable-build-with-cxx, it's time to obsolete/remove support
for Solaris < 10.
This patch does this, simplifying configure.nat along the way (only a single
sol2 configuration with variants for i386 and sparc).
Some configure checks for older Solaris versions can go, too, and the check
for libthread_db.so.1 removed:
* Since Solaris 10, dlopen has moved to libc and libdl.so is just a
filter on ld.so.1, so no need to check.
* $RDYNAMIC is already handled above (and is a no-op with Solaris ld
anyway).
Both proc-service.c and sol-thread.c lose support for (Solaris-only)
PROC_SERVICE_IS_OLD.
The attached revised patch has been tested on sparcv9-sun-solaris2.10,
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.11.4, amd64-pc-solaris2.10, amd64-pc-solaris2.11.4,
and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
I've also started an i386-pc-solaris2.9 build to check that it really
stops as expected.

With the growing number of selftests, I think it would be useful to be
able to run only a subset of the tests. This patch associates a name to
each registered selftest. It then allows doing something like:
(gdb) maintenance selftest aarch64
Running self-tests.
Running selftest aarch64-analyze-prologue.
Running selftest aarch64-process-record.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
or with gdbserver:
./gdbserver --selftest=aarch64
In both cases, only the tests that contain "aarch64" in their name are
ran. To help validate that the tests you want to run were actually ran,
it also prints a message with the test name before running each test.
Right now, all the arch-dependent tests are registered as a single test
of the selftests. To be able to filter those too, I made them
"first-class citizen" selftests. The selftest type is an interface,
with different implementations for "simple selftests" and "arch
selftests". The run_tests function simply iterates on that an invokes
operator() on each test.
I changed the tests data structure from a vector to a map, because
- it allows iterating in a stable (alphabetical) order
- it allows to easily verify if a test with a given name has been
registered, to avoid duplicates
There's also a new command "maintenance info selftests" that lists the
registered selftests.

starting the inferior
This patch implements the ability to set/unset environment variables
on the remote target, mimicking what GDB already offers to the user.
There are two features present here: user-set and user-unset
environment variables.
User-set environment variables are only the variables that are
explicitly set by the user, using the 'set environment' command. This
means that variables that were already present in the environment when
starting GDB/GDBserver are not transmitted/considered by this feature.
User-unset environment variables are variables that are explicitly
unset by the user, using the 'unset environment' command.
The idea behind this patch is to store user-set and user-unset
environment variables in two separate sets, both part of gdb_environ.
Then, when extended_remote_create_inferior is preparing to start the
inferior, it will iterate over the two sets and set/unset variables
accordingly. Three new packets are introduced:
- QEnvironmentHexEncoded, which is used to set environment variables,
and contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR=VALUE" (VALUE
can be empty if the user set a variable with a null value, by doing
'set environment VAR=').
- QEnvironmentUnset, which is used to unset environment variables, and
contains an hex-encoded string in the format "VAR".
- QEnvironmentReset, which is always the first packet to be
transmitted, and is used to reset the environment, i.e., discard any
changes made by the user on previous runs.
The QEnvironmentHexEncoded packet is inspired on LLDB's extensions to
the RSP. Details about it can be seen here:
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>
I decided not to implement the QEnvironment packet because it is
considered deprecated by LLDB. This packet, on LLDB, serves the same
purpose of QEnvironmentHexEncoded, but sends the information using a
plain text, non-hex-encoded string.
The other two packets are new.
This patch also includes updates to the documentation, testsuite, and
unit tests, without introducing regressions.

As discussed in
How to use compile & execute function in GDB
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2015-04/msg00026.html
GDB currently searches for compilers on /usr/bin/ARCH-OS-gcc and
chooses a match from there. However, it is not currently possible for
the user to override which compiler to use. This is what this patch
implements.
It is also a sync between GCC's and GDB's interfaces.

Nowadays, we need two steps to print c files for xml target description,
that is, 1) read xml target description in, update the current tdesc,
2) visit the current tdesc, print the c file. It is unnecessary to
involve in current tdesc, and some validations in each gdbarch are
performed unnecessarily, which will reject some target descriptions if
they are missing some mandatory feature.
This patch adds an optional argument to "maint print c-tdesc", which
is an XML file target description, so that we can combine the two
steps above into one step, and don't have to involve in global current
tdesc.

I helped someone figure out why their separate debug info (debug
link-based) was not found by gdb. It turns out that the debug file was
not named properly. It made me realize that it is quite difficult to
diagnose this kind of problems. This patch adds some debug output to
show where GDB looks for those files, so that it should be (more)
obvious to find what's wrong.
Here's an example of the result, first with an example of unsuccessful lookup,
and then a successful one.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

Add disassembler helper for GDB, that uses opcodes structure arc_instruction
and adds convenience functions to handle instruction operands. This interface
solves at least those problems with arc_instruction:
* Some instructions, like "push_s", have implicit operands which are not
directly present in arc_instruction.
* Operands of particular meaning, like branch/jump targets, have various
locations and meaning depending on type of branch/target.
* Access to operand value is abstracted into a separate function, so callee
code shouldn't bother if operand value is an immediate value or in a
register.
Testcases included in this commit are fairly limited - they test exclusively
branch instructions, something that will be used in software single stepping.
Most of the other parts of this disassembler helper are tested during prologue
analysis testing.
