2015-06-26Add option to remove duplicate command history entriesPatrick Palka1-0/+4
This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default). The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient. The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one. "history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option, and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's erasedups option. [ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than leave/erase/ignore. ] gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention the new option "history remove-duplicates". * top.c (history_remove_duplicates): New static variable. (show_history_remove_duplicates): New static function. (gdb_add_history): Conditionally remove duplicate history entries. (init_main): Add "history remove-duplicates" option. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Command History): Document the new option "history remove-duplicates". gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/history-duplicates.exp: New test.

2015-06-17Tweak the handling of $GDBHISTSIZE edge cases [PR gdb/16999]Patrick Palka1-1/+3
When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent with the behavior of bash. This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we do nothing. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/16999 * NEWS: Mention new GDBHISTSIZE behavior. * top.c (init_history): For null or out-of-range GDBHISTSIZE, set history size to unlimited. Ignore non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: PR gdb/16999 * gdb.texinfo (Command History): Mention new GDBHISTSIZE behavior. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR gdb/16999 * gdb.base/gdbhistsize-history.exp: New test.
2015-06-17Read $GDBHISTSIZE instead of $HISTSIZEPatrick Palka1-0/+4
The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g. PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment variables with application environment variables. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention that GDBHISTSIZE is read instead of HISTSIZE. * top.c (init_history): Read from GDBHISTSIZE instead of HISTSIZE. (init_main): Refer to GDBHISTSIZE instead of HISTSIZE. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Command History): Replace occurrences of HISTSIZE with GDBHISTSIZE. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp: Replace occurrences of HISTSIZE with GDBHISTSIZE. * gdb.base/readline.exp: Likewise.
2015-06-13gdb: Rework command completion on 'tui reg'.Andrew Burgess1-0/+3
We previously specified a few known register groups for the 'tui reg' command. Other register groups could be accessed, but only by using the 'tui reg next' command and cycling through all the groups. This commit removes the hard coded sub-commands of 'tui reg' and instead adds dynamic completion of sub-commands based on the architecturally defined register groups, giving immediate access to all available register groups. There is still the 'next' and 'prev' commands for cycling through the register groups if that's wanted. The new code maintains the ability to only enter partial names for register groups, which is something we got for free when using the standard sub-command mechanism. The register (and register group) completer has been changed to use get_current_arch rather than using the architecture of the currently selected frame. When the target is running, this is equivalent, however, when the target is not running, using get_current_arch will provide results from the default architecture. gdb/ChangeLog: * completer.c: Add arch-utils.h include. (enum reg_completer_targets): New enum. (reg_or_group_completer_1): New function containing old reg_or_group_completer, add and use new parameter to control what is completed on. Use get_current_arch rather than architecture of currently selected frame. (reg_or_group_completer): Call new reg_or_group_completer_1. (reggroup_completer): Call new reg_or_group_completer_1. * completer.h (reggroup_completer): Add declaration. * tui/tui-regs.c: Add 'completer.h' include. (tui_reg_next_command): Renamed to... (tui_reg_next): ...this. Adjust parameters and return rather than display new group. (tui_reg_prev_command): Renamed to... (tui_reg_prev): ...this. Adjust parameters and return rather than display new group. (tui_reg_float_command): Delete. (tui_reg_general_command): Delete. (tui_reg_system_command): Delete. (tui_reg_command): Rewrite to perform switching of register group. Add header comment. (tuireglist): Remove. (tui_reggroup_completer): New function. (_initialize_tui_regs): Remove 'tui reg' sub-commands, update creation of 'tui reg' command. * NEWS: Add comment about 'tui reg' changes. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (TUI Commands): Bring all 'tui reg' commands into a single table entry.

2015-06-10Add support for bound table in the Intel MPX context.Walfred Tedeschi1-0/+4
Intel(R) Memory protection bound information are located in register to be tested using the MPX new instructions. Since the number of bound registers are limited a table is used to provide storage for bounds during run-time. In order to investigate the contents of the MPX bound table two new commands are added to GDB. "show mpx bound" and "set mpx bound" are used to display and set values on the MPX bound table. 2015-04-20 Walfred Tedeschi <walfred.tedeschi@intel.com> Mircea Gherzan <mircea.gherzan@intel.com> * i386-tdep.c (MPX_BASE_MASK, MPX_BD_MASK, MPX_BT_MASK, MPX_BD_MASK_32, MPX_BT_MASK_32): New macros.

2015-05-16compile: New 'compile print'Jan Kratochvil1-0/+3
It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new command. I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print' command. There was a discussion with Eli about the command name: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

2015-05-06Make the "info dll" command available on all platform.Joel Brobecker1-0/+3
The "info dll", an alias of the "info sharedlibrary" command, is currently only defined in windows native versions. This patch makes it universally available by moving the alias declaration to solib.c, and adjusts the documentation accordingly. Making it universally available has two benefits: - Windows users moving to a Unix platforms are still able to use the same command for getting the list of shared libraries; - Unix to Windows cross debuggers now provide that command also. gdb/ChangeLog: * solib.c (_initialize_solib): Add "info dll" alias creation. * windows-nat.c (set_windows_aliases): Delete.

2015-04-17Access executable from remote system when first inferior appearsGary Benson1-0/+6
This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately. With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a "target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot" or "file" commands are required, e.g. bash$ gdb -q (gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166 stdin/stdout redirected Remote debugging using stdio Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash... One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit this new behavior. gdb/ChangeLog: * remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec. If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as the main executable if no main executable is open already. All callers updated. * NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and retrieval of executable + files from remote targets. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Connecting to a Remote Target): Mention that GDB can access program files from remote targets that support qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing the main executable over the remote protocol.

2015-04-11Remove --xdbJan Kratochvil1-0/+4
Pedro Alves: The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual. Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really be using the --xdb switch. I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end". I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated, e.g., for golang). gdb/ChangeLog 2015-04-11 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> * NEWS (Changes since GDB 7.9): Add removed -xdb. * breakpoint.c (command_line_is_silent): Remove xdb_commands conditional.

2015-03-31Implement support for checking /proc/PID/coredump_filterSergio Durigan Junior1-0/+9
This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently, here is what is supported: bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings. bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings. bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings. bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings. bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24) Dump ELF headers. bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28) Dump private huge pages. bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28) Dump shared huge pages. (This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source tree). The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33, which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW. Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you, is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from /proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready I will post it here). With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed, private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump "[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel). In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is: - If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with " (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x" (shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous. There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or "AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both* anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed mappings to be present in the corefile. It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above, the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with " (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root, and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/ directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do better: expose this information in a more direct way. - If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps), then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough, however. Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory mappings to dump. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-03-31 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> PR corefiles/16092 * linux-tdep.c: Include 'gdbcmd.h' and 'gdb_regex.h'.

2015-03-11Implement remote_bfd_iovec_statGary Benson1-0/+3
This commit adds a new packet "vFile:fstat:" to the remote protocol that can be used by to retrieve information about files that have been previously opened using vFile:open. vFile:fstat: support is added to GDB, and remote_bfd_iovec_stat is implemented using it. If vFile:fstat: is not supported by the remote GDB creates a dummy result by zeroing the supplied stat structure and setting its st_size field to INT_MAX. This mimics GDB's previous behaviour, with the exception that GDB did not previously zero the structure so all other fields would have been returned unchanged, which is to say very likely populated with random values from the stack. gdb/ChangeLog: * remote-fileio.h (remote_fileio_to_host_stat): New declaration. * remote-fileio.c (remote_fileio_to_host_uint): New function.

2015-03-04remote+docs: software/hardware breakpoint trapsPedro Alves1-0/+10
This adjusts target remote to tell the core whether a trap was caused by a breakpoint. To that end, the patch teaches GDB about new RSP stop reasons "T05 swbreak" and "T05 hwbreak", that remote targets report back to GDB, similarly to how "T05 watch" indicates a stop caused by a watchpoint. Because targets that can report these events are expected to themselves adjust the PC after a software breakpoint, these new stop reasons must only be reported if the stub is talking to a GDB that understands them. Because of that, the use of the new stop reasons needs to be handshaked on initial connection, using the qSupported mechanism. GDB simply sends "swbreak+" in its qSupports query, and the stub reports back "swbreak+" too. Because these new stop reasons are required to fix a fundamental non-stop mode problem, this commit extends the remote non-stop intro section in the manual, documenting the events as required. To be clear, GDB will still cope with remote targets that don't support these new stop reasons; it will behave just like today. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-03-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS: Mention the new "swbreak" and "hwbreak" stop reasons. * remote.c (struct remote_state) <remote_stopped_by_watchpoint_p>: Delete field. <stop_reason>: New field.

2015-01-31Add max-completions parameter, and implement tab-completion limiting.Gary Benson1-0/+7
This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to be useful. A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added to control this behaviour. A top-level completion limit is added to complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never sees too many completions. An additional limit is added to default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming symbol table expansions. gdb/ChangeLog: PR cli/9007 PR cli/11920 PR cli/15548 * cli/cli-cmds.c (complete_command): Notify user if max-completions reached. * common/common-exceptions.h (enum errors) <MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR>: New value. * completer.h (get_max_completions_reached_message): New declaration.
