2014-10-17Delete Tru64 supportPedro Alves1-0/+1
This commit does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part. procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h. Going beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that potentially affects Solaris. Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them. That can always be done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha. A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse, not better. We can revisit those when we next need to touch that code. I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I believe that code is imported from DejaGNU. Built and tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with --enable-targets=all. Tested that building for --target=alpha-osf3 on x86_64 Fedora 20 fails with: checking for default auto-load directory... $debugdir:$datadir/auto-load checking for default auto-load safe-path... $debugdir:$datadir/auto-load *** Configuration alpha-unknown-osf3 is obsolete. *** Support has been REMOVED. make[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `build-osf' make: *** [all] Error 2 gdb/ 2014-10-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * Makefile.in (ALL_64_TARGET_OBS): Remove alpha-osf1-tdep.o.

2014-10-10Delete IRIX supportPedro Alves1-0/+7
This does most of the mechanical removal. IOW, the easy part. This doesn't touch procfs.c as that'd be a harder excision, potentially affecting Solaris. mips-tdep.c is left alone. E.g., I didn't delete the GDB_OSABI_IRIX enum value, nor references to it in mips-tdep.c.

2014-09-22Fix "breakpoint always-inserted off"; remove "breakpoint always-inserted auto"Pedro Alves1-0/+7
By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the target stops and the prompt is given back to the user. This is useful in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise, there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the target. But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint. With that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint always-inserted on" mode. This traded off the extra crash protection for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each user command (e.g., at each "step"). When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss breakpoints. The test added by this patch exercises this. That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra "breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like "always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted off" when non-stop was disabled. "auto" was made the default at the same time. In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal solution. Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted mode, but only as long as any thread is running. If no thread is running, no breakpoint can be missed. The same is true for all-stop too. E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does: (gdb) c& (gdb) b foo That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints. The test added by this patch also covers this. IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully stops, we can remove breakpoints. And no matter whether in all-stop or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need breakpoints to be immediately inserted. And then, if the target has global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target is stopped. So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes "breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as unnecessary. I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need it and that can't adjust.

2014-09-13New command queue-signal.Doug Evans1-0/+5
If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command. What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the desired threads and then just do "continue". This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this. Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue". That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal" just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it. "nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which "queue-signal" doesn't do. One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command. I have no current need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one tries to queue a nopass signal. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention new "queue-signal" command. * infcmd.c (queue_signal_command): New function. (_initialize_infcmd): Add new queue-signal command. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Signaling): Document new queue-signal command. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.threads/queue-signal.c: New file. * gdb.threads/queue-signal.exp: New file.

2014-07-25Always pass signals to the right threadPedro Alves1-0/+11
Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several different but related scenarios. E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread 2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread 2, not thread 1. This obviously messes up programs that use pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads. This has been a known issue for a long while. Back in 2008 when I made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later. The time has finally come now. The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always delivered to the thread that had intercepted them. Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint... If the user deletes the breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered to thread 2 (the current thread). "signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing "handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had stopped for. These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin, and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do. GDB might have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test). At least in the inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the command's behavior consistent and easy to explain. Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with: (gdb) continue Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO. (gdb) thread 2 (gdb) signal SIGBAR ... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2 (with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then "signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads). So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation: (gdb) thread 1 [Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)] (gdb) signal SIGUSR2 Note: Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2. Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads. Continue anyway? (y or n) All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.

2014-05-29enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of asyncPedro Alves1-0/+31
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default. However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do -- we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat "set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default behavior of execution commands. So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific, and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target. Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes "set target-async" a deprecated alias. Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new "maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode seems unlikely to go away. Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the maint option. I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not have that transitory state in the tree. Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling. 2014-05-29 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> * NEWS: Mention "maint set target-async", "set mi-async", and that background execution commands are now always available. * target.h (target_async_permitted): Update comment. * target.c (target_async_permitted, target_async_permitted_1): Default to 1.

2014-05-21Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.Pedro Alves1-0/+10
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach", "info os", etc. With the patch, we now can have this instead: (gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off (gdb) target extended-remote :9999 ... *gdb disconnects* (gdb) run Don't know how to run. Try "help target". To still be able to connect to the native target with auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work instead of erroring out as today. Before: (gdb) target native Use the "run" command to start a native process. After: (gdb) target native Done. Use the "run" command to start a process. (gdb) maint print target-stack The current target stack is: - native (Native process) - exec (Local exec file) - None (None) (gdb) run Starting program: ./a.out ... I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still have one such case this patch catches: (gdb) break main Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138. (gdb) run Don't know how to run. Try "help target". (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added. The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which does: have_inferiors (void) { for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next) if (inf->pid != 0) return 1; It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the extended-gdbserver board. Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds. Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.

2014-05-20Make compare-sections work against all targets; add compare-sections [-r] tests.Pedro Alves1-0/+3
This does two things: 1. Adds a test. Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no testsuite addition. This now adds a test for both compare-sections and compare-sections -r. 2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets. Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only those that support the qCRC packet. The patch makes it so that if the target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB falls back to comparing memory itself. This is of course slower, but it's better than nothing, IMO. While testing against extended-remote GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if we're connected, but not yet running a program. That can't work of course -- the patch fixes that. This all also goes in the direction of bridging the local/remote parity gap. I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the command. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and extended-remote GDBserver. I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make sure the fallback paths in remote.c work. gdb/doc/ 2014-05-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (Memory) <compare-sections>: Generalize comments to not be remote specific.

2014-04-24Add AVX512 registers support to GDB and GDBserver.Michael Sturm1-0/+5
This patch adds support for the Intel(R) Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (Intel(R) AVX-512) registers. Native and remote debugging are covered by this patch. Intel(R) AVX-512 is an extension to AVX to support 512-bit wide SIMD registers in 64-bit mode (XMM0-XMM31, YMM0-YMM31, ZMM0-ZMM31). The number of available registers in 32-bit mode is still 8 (XMM0-7, YMM0-7, ZMM0-7). The lower 256-bits of the ZMM registers are aliased to the respective 256-bit YMM registers. The lower 128-bits are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers. There are also 8 new, dedicated mask registers (K0-K7) in both 32-bit mode and 64-bit mode.

2014-02-20Deprecate windows-specific dll-symbols command and aliasesJoel Brobecker1-0/+4
The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms, gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared" output does not get updated after the command completes: (gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll (gdb) info shared From To Syms Read Shared Object Library [...] 0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 No C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll (we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes"). As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated. See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add instead of calling solib_add. But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered address. Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the "dll-symbols" command. For instance: (gdb) share rpcrt4.dll Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done. Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll (gdb) info shared From To Syms Read Shared Object Library [...] 0x77e51000 0x77ee2554 Yes (*) C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll This patch therefore deprecates the "dll-symbols" command, as well as its two aliases "add-shared-symbol-files" and "assf", with a view of deleting them as soon as the 7.8 branch gets cut. gdb/ChangeLog: * windows-nat.c (_initialize_windows_nat): Deprecate the "dll-symbols" command.

2014-01-28New Ada maintenance command to ignore descriptive types (DWARF).Joel Brobecker1-0/+9
Currently, Ada debugging requires the use of certain GNAT-specific encodings, which are generated by the compiler. These encodings were created a long time ago to work around the fairly limited capabilities of the stabs debugging format. With DWARF, the vast majority of the encodings could be abandoned in favor of a pure DWARF approach. In order to make it easier to evaluate the quality of the DWARF debugging information generated by the compiler, and how the debugger handles it, we are introducing a small Ada-specific maintenance setting which changes the debugger's behavior to ignore descriptive types. Descriptive types are artificial types generated by the compiler purely to give the debugger hints as to how to properly decode certain properties of a type. For instance, for array types, it generates a parallel type whose name is the name of the array suffixed with ___XA, whose contents tells us what the array's index type is, and possibly its bounds. See GCC's gcc/ada/exp_dbug.ads for the full description of all encodings. This is only a first step, as this setting does not deactivate all encodings; More settings dedicated to each type of encoding will likely be implemented in the future, as we make progress. gdb/ChangeLog: * ada-lang.c (maint_set_ada_cmdlist, maint_show_ada_cmdlist): New static globals.

2014-01-16record-btrace: optionally indent function call historyMarkus Metzger1-0/+8
Add a new modifier /c to the "record function-call-history" command to indent the function name based on its depth in the call stack. Also reorder the optional fields to have the indentation at the very beginning. Prefix the insn range (/i modifier) with "inst ". Prefix the source line (/l modifier) with "at ". Change the range syntax from "begin-end" to "begin,end" to allow copy&paste to the "record instruction-history" and "list" commands. Adjust the respective tests and add new tests for the /c modifier. 2014-01-16 Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> * record.h (enum record_print_flag) <record_print_indent_calls>: New. * record.c (get_call_history_modifiers): Recognize /c modifier.

2014-01-16record-btrace: start counting at oneMarkus Metzger1-0/+4
The record instruction-history and record-function-call-history commands start counting instructions at zero. This is somewhat unintuitive when we start navigating in the recorded instruction history. Start at one, instead. 2014-01-16 Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> * btrace.c (ftrace_new_function): Start counting at one. * record-btrace.c (record_btrace_info): Adjust number of calls and insns. * NEWS: Announce it. testsuite/ * gdb.btrace/instruction_history.exp: Update. * gdb.btrace/function_call_history.exp: Update.

2014-01-07[python] Add gdb.Type.name attribute.Joel Brobecker1-0/+1
Consider the following declarations: typedef long our_time_t; our_time_t current_time = 1384395743; The purpose of this patch is to allow the use of a pretty-printer for variables of type our_time_t. Normally, pretty-printing sniffers use the tag name in order to determine which, if any, pretty-printer should be used. But in the case above, the tag name is not set, since it does not apply to integral types. This patch extends the gdb.Type list of attributes to also include the name of the type, thus allowing the sniffer to match against that name. With that change, I was able to write a pretty-printer which displays our variable as follow: (gdb) print current_time $1 = Thu Nov 14 02:22:23 2013 (1384395743) gdb/ChangeLog: * python/py-type.c (typy_get_name): New function. (type_object_getset): Add entry for attribute "name". * NEWS: Add entry mentioning this new attribute. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Types In Python): Document new attribute Types.name. gdb/testsuite: * gdb.python/py-pp-integral.c: New file. * gdb.python/py-pp-integral.py: New file. * gdb.python/py-pp-integral.exp: New file. Tested on x86_64-linux.
2013-12-28Implement SystemTap SDT probe support for AArch64Sergio Durigan Junior1-0/+2
This commit implements the needed bits for SystemTap SDT probe support on AArch64 architectures. First, I started by looking at AArch64 assembly specification and filling the necessary options on gdbarch's stap machinery in order to make the generic asm parser (implemented in stap-probe.c) recognize AArch64's asm. After my last patch for the SystemTap SDT API, which extends it in order to accept multiple prefixes and suffixes, this patch became simpler. I also followed Marcus suggestion and did not shared code between 32- and 64-bit ARM. Tom asked me in a previous message how I did my tests. I believe I replied that, but just in case: I ran the tests on gdb.base/stap-probe.exp by hand. I also managed to run the tests on real hardware, and they pass without regressions. 2013-12-28 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> PR tdep/15653 * NEWS: Mention SystemTap SDT probe support for AArch64 GNU/Linux. * aarch64-linux-tdep.c: Include necessary headers for parsing of SystemTap SDT probes. (aarch64_stap_is_single_operand): New function. (aarch64_stap_parse_special_token): Likewise. (aarch64_linux_init_abi): Declare SystemTap SDT probe argument prefixes and suffixes. Initialize gdbarch with them.
