2018-12-13Add an optional "alias" attribute to syscall entries.John Baldwin1-0/+13
When setting a syscall catchpoint by name, catch syscalls whose name or alias matches the requested string. When the ABI of a system call is changed in the FreeBSD kernel, this is implemented by leaving a compatibility system call using the old ABI at the existing "slot" and allocating a new system call for the version using the new ABI. For example, new fields were added to the 'struct kevent' used by the kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12. The previous kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12 kernels is now called freebsd11_kevent() and is still used by older binaries compiled against the older ABI. The freebsd11_kevent() system call can be tagged with an "alias" attribute of "kevent" permitting 'catch syscall kevent' to catch both system calls and providing the expected user behavior for both old and new binaries. It also provides the expected behavior if GDB is compiled on an older host (such as a FreeBSD 11 host). gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Add entry documenting system call aliases. * break-catch-syscall.c (catch_syscall_split_args): Pass 'result' to get_syscalls_by_name. * gdbarch.sh (UNKNOWN_SYSCALL): Remove. * gdbarch.h: Regenerate. * syscalls/gdb-syscalls.dtd (syscall): Add alias attribute. * xml-syscall.c [!HAVE_LIBEXPAT] (get_syscalls_by_name): Rename from get_syscall_by_name.

2018-11-21gdb/riscv: Add target description supportAndrew Burgess1-0/+2
This commit adds target description support for riscv. I've used the split feature approach for specifying the architectural features, and the CSR feature is auto-generated from the riscv-opc.h header file. If the target doesn't provide a suitable target description then GDB will build one by looking at the bfd headers. This commit does not implement target description creation for the Linux or FreeBSD native targets, both of these will need to add read_description methods into their respective target classes, which probe the target features, and then call riscv_create_target_description to build a suitable target description. Until this is done Linux and FreeBSD will get the same default target description based on the bfd that bare-metal targets get. I've only added feature descriptions for 32 and 64 bit registers, 128 bit registers (for RISC-V) are not supported in the reset of GDB yet. This commit removes the special reading of the MISA register in order to establish the target features, this was only used for figuring out the f-register size, and even that wasn't done consistently. We now rely on the target to tell us what size of registers it has (or look in the BFD as a last resort). The result of this is that we should now support RV64 targets with 32-bit float, though I have not extensively tested this combination yet. * Makefile.in (ALL_TARGET_OBS): Add arch/riscv.o.

2018-10-26[PowerPC] Add support for HTM registersEdjunior Barbosa Machado1-0/+4
This patch adds support for Hardware Transactional Memory registers for the powerpc linux native and core file targets, and for the pwoerpc linux server stub. These registers include both the HTM special-purpose registers (TFHAR, TEXASR and TFIAR) as well as the set of registers that are checkpointed (saved) when a transaction is initiated, which the processor restores in the event of a transaction failure. The set of checkpointed general-purpose registers is returned by the linux kernel in the same format as the regular general-purpose registers, defined in struct pt_regs. However, the architecture specifies that only some of the registers present in pt_regs are checkpointed (GPRs 0-31, CR, XER, LR and CTR). The kernel fills the slots for MSR and NIP with other info. The other fields usually don't have meaningful values. GDB doesn't define registers that are not checkpointed in the architecture, but when generating a core file, GDB fills the slot for the checkpointed MSR with the regular MSR. These are usually similar, although some bits might be different, and in some cases the checkpointed MSR will have a value of 0 in a kernel-generated core-file. The checkpointed NIP is filled with TFHAR by GDB in the core-file, which is what the kernel does. The other fields are set to 0 by GDB. Core files generated by the kernel have a note section for checkpointed GPRs with the same size for both 32-bit and 64-bit threads, and the values for the registers of a 32-bit thread are squeezed in the first half, with no useful data in the second half. GDB generates a smaller note section for 32-bit threads, but can read both sizes. The checkpointed XER is required to be 32-bit in the target description documentation, even though the more recent ISAs define it as 64-bit wide, since the high-order 32-bits are reserved, and because in Linux there is no way to get a 64-bit checkpointed XER for 32-bit threads. If this changes in the future, the target description feature requirement can be relaxed to allow for a 64-bit checkpointed XER. Access to the checkpointed CR (condition register) can be confusing. The architecture only specifies that CR fields 1 to 7 (the 24 least significant bits) are checkpointed, but the kernel provides all 8 fields (32 bits). The value of field 0 is not masked by ptrace, so it will sometimes show the result of some kernel operation, probably treclaim., which sets this field. The checkpointed registers are marked not to be saved and restored. Inferior function calls during an active transaction don't work well, and it's unclear what should be done in this case. TEXASR and TFIAR can be altered asynchronously, during transaction failure recording, so they are also not saved and restored. For consistency neither is TFHAR. Record and replay also doesn't work well when transactions are involved. This patch doesn't address this, so the values of the HTM SPRs will sometimes be innacurate when the record/relay target is enabled. For instance, executing a "tbegin." alters TFHAR and TEXASR, but these changes are not currently recorded. Because the checkpointed registers are only available when a transaction is active (or suspended), ptrace can return ENODATA when gdb tries to read these registers and the inferior is not in a transactional state. The registers are set to the unavailable state when this happens. When gbd tries to write to one of these registers, and it is unavailable, an error is raised. The "fill" functions for checkpointed register sets in the server stub are not implemented for the same reason as for the EBB register set, since ptrace can also return ENODATA for checkpointed regsets. The same issues with 'G' packets apply here. Just like for the EBB registers, tracepoints will not mark the checkpointed registers as unavailable if the inferior was not in a transaction, so their content will also show 0 instead of <unavailable> when inspecting trace data. The new tests record the values of the regular registers before stepping the inferior through a "tbegin." instruction to start a transaction, then the checkpointed registers are checked against the recorded pre-transactional values. New values are written to the checkpointed registers and recorded, the inferior continues until the transaction aborts (which is usually immediately when it is resumed), and the regular registers are checked against the recorded values, because the abort should have reverted the registers to these values. Like for the EBB registers, target_store_registers will ignore the checkpointed registers when called with -1 as the regno argument (store all registers in one go). gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-10-26 Edjunior Barbosa Machado <emachado@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com> * arch/ppc-linux-tdesc.h (tdesc_powerpc_isa207_htm_vsx32l) (tdesc_powerpc_isa207_htm_vsx64l): Declare. * arch/ppc-linux-common.h (PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_TM_SPRREGSET) (PPC32_LINUX_SIZEOF_CGPRREGSET, PPC64_LINUX_SIZEOF_CGPRREGSET) (PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_CFPRREGSET, PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_CVMXREGSET) (PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_CVSXREGSET, PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_CPPRREGSET) (PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_CDSCRREGSET, PPC_LINUX_SIZEOF_CTARREGSET): Define.

2018-10-06Update symbol domain and location values for PythonTom Tromey1-0/+8
In the distant past, there was no distinction between domain_enum and search_domain. At that point, there were two sets of enumerators in a single enum -- which is why these were eventually split. This confusion leaked out to the Python API as well, as noted in PR python/21765. This patch deprecates the constants that aren't useful to the Python API. They are left in place for now, but removed from the documentation. Also, their values are changed so that, if used, they might work. Finally, missing domains and location constants are added. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-10-06 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR python/21765: * python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_initialize_symbols): Redefine SYMBOL_VARIABLES_DOMAIN, SYMBOL_FUNCTIONS_DOMAIN, SYMBOL_TYPES_DOMAIN.

2018-09-28gdb: Change how frames are selected for 'frame' and 'info frame'.Andrew Burgess1-0/+8
The 'frame' command, and thanks to code reuse the 'info frame' and 'select-frame' commands, currently have an overloaded mechanism for selecting a frame. These commands take one or two parameters, if it's one parameter then we first try to use the parameter as an integer to select a frame by level (or depth in the stack). If that fails then we treat the parameter as an address and try to select a stack frame by stack-address. If we still have not selected a stack frame, or we initially had two parameters, then GDB allows the user to view a stack frame that is not part of the current backtrace. Internally, a new frame is created with the given stack and pc addresses, and this is shown to the user. The result of this is that a typo by the user, entering the wrong stack frame level for example, can result in a brand new frame being viewed rather than an error. The purpose of this commit is to remove this overloading, while still offering the same functionality through some new sub-commands. By making the default behaviour of 'frame' (and friends) be to select a stack frame by level index, it is hoped that enough backwards-compatibility is maintained that users will not be overly inconvenienced. The 'frame', 'select-frame', and 'info frame' commands now all take a frame specification string as an argument, this string can be any of the following: (1) An integer. This is treated as a frame level. If a frame for that level does not exist then the user gets an error. (2) A string like 'level <LEVEL>', where <LEVEL> is a frame level as in option (1) above. (3) A string like 'address <STACK-ADDRESS>', where <STACK-ADDRESS> is a stack-frame address. If there is no frame for this address then the user gets an error. (4) A string like 'function <NAME>', where <NAME> is a function name, the inner most frame for function <NAME> is selected. If there is no frame for function <NAME> then the user gets an error. (5) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS>', this views a new frame with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS>. (6) A string like 'view <STACK-ADDRESS> <PC-ADDRESS>', this views a new frame with stack address <STACK-ADDRESS> and the pc <PC-ADDRESS>. This change assumes that the most common use of the commands like 'frame' is to select a frame by frame level, it is for this reason that this is the behaviour that is kept for backwards compatibility. Any of the alternative behaviours, which are assumed to be less used, now require a change in user behaviour. The MI command '-stack-select-frame' has not been changed. This ensures that we maintain backwards compatibility for existing frontends. gdb/ChangeLog: (NEWS): Mention changes to frame related commands. * cli/cli-decode.c (add_cmd_suppress_notification): New function.

2018-08-29C++ compile supportKeith Seitz1-0/+14
This patch adds *basic* support for C++ to the compile feature. It does most simple type conversions, including everything that C compile does and your basic "with-classes" type of C++. I've written a new compile-support.exp support file which adds a new test facility for automating and simplifying "compile print" vs "compile code" testing. See testsuite/lib/compile-support.exp and CompileExpression for more on that. The tests use this facility extensively. This initial support has several glaring omissions: - No template support at all I have follow-on patches for this, but they add much complexity to this "basic" support. Consequently, they will be submitted separately. - Cannot print functions The code template needs tweaking, and I simply haven't gotten to it yet. - So-called "special function" support is not included Using constructors, destructors, operators, etc will not work. I have follow-on patches for that, but they require some work because of the recent churn in symbol searching. - There are several test suite references to "compile/1234" bugs. I will file bugs and update the test suite's bug references before pushing these patches. The test suite started as a copy of the original C-language support, but I have written tests to exercise the basic functionality of the plug-in. I've added a new option for outputting debug messages for C++ type-conversion ("debug compile-cplus-types"). gdb/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in (SUBDIR_GCC_COMPILE_SRCS): Add compile-cplus-symbols.c and compile-cplus-types.c.

2018-07-26gdb: Add switch to disable DWARF stack unwindersAndrew Burgess1-0/+4
Add a maintenance command to disable the DWARF stack unwinders. Normal users would not need this feature, but it is useful to allow extended testing of fallback stack unwinding strategies, for example, prologue scanners. This is a partial implementation of the idea discussed in pr gdb/8434, which talks about a generic ability to disable any frame unwinder. Being able to arbitrarily disable any frame unwinder would be a more complex patch, and I was unsure how useful such a feature would really be, however, I can see (and have) a real need to disable DWARF unwinders. That's why this patch only targets that specific set of unwinders. If in the future we find ourselves adding more switches to disable different unwinders, then we should probably move to a more generic solution, and remove this patch. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2-frame-tailcall.c (tailcall_frame_sniffer): Exit early if DWARF unwinders are disabled. * dwarf2-frame.c: Add dwarf2read.h include.

2018-07-11Implement IPv6 support for GDB/gdbserverSergio Durigan Junior1-0/+4
This patch implements IPv6 support for both GDB and gdbserver. Based on my research, it is the fourth attempt to do that since 2006. Since I used ideas from all of the previous patches, I also added their authors's names on the ChangeLogs as a way to recognize their efforts. For reference sake, you can find the previous attempts at: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-09/msg00192.html https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-02/msg00248.html https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00226.html The basic idea behind the patch is to start using the new 'getaddrinfo'/'getnameinfo' calls, which are responsible for translating names and addresses in a protocol-independent way. This means that if we ever have a new version of the IP protocol, we won't need to change the code again (or, at least, won't have to change the majority of the code). The function 'getaddrinfo' returns a linked list of possible addresses to connect to. Dealing with multiple addresses proved to be a hard task with the current TCP auto-retry mechanism implemented on ser-tcp:net_open. For example, when gdbserver listened only on an IPv4 socket: $ ./gdbserver --once 127.0.0.1:1234 ./a.out and GDB was instructed to try to connect to both IPv6 and IPv4 sockets: $ ./gdb -ex 'target extended-remote localhost:1234' ./a.out the user would notice a somewhat big delay before GDB was able to connect to the IPv4 socket. This happened because GDB was trying to connect to the IPv6 socket first, and had to wait until the connection timed out before it tried to connect to the IPv4 socket. For that reason, I had to rewrite the main loop and implement a new method for handling multiple connections. After some discussion, Pedro and I agreed on the following algorithm: 1) For each entry returned by 'getaddrinfo', we try to open a socket and connect to it. 2.a) If we have a successful 'connect', we just use that connection. 2.b) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a ECONNREFUSED (meaning the the connection was refused), we keep track of this fact by using a flag. 2.c) If we don't have a successfull 'connect', but if we've got a EINPROGRESS (meaning that the connection is in progress), we perform a 'select' call on the socket until we have a result (either a successful connection, or an error on the socket). 3) If tcp_auto_retry is true, and we haven't gotten a successful connection, and at least one of our attempts failed with ECONNREFUSED, then we wait a little bit (i.e., call 'wait_for_connect'), check to see if there was a timeout/interruption (in which case we bail out), and then go back to (1). After multiple tests, I was able to connect without delay on the scenario described above, and was also able to connect in all other types of scenarios. I also implemented some hostname parsing functions (along with their corresponding unit tests) which are used to help GDB and gdbserver to parse hostname strings provided by the user. These new functions are living inside common/netstuff.[ch]. I've had to do that since IPv6 introduces a new URL scheme, which defines that square brackets can be used to enclose the host part and differentiate it from the port (e.g., "[::1]:1234" means "host ::1, port 1234"). I spent some time thinking about a reasonable way to interpret what the user wants, and I came up with the following: - If the user has provided a prefix that doesn't specify the protocol version (i.e., "tcp:" or "udp:"), or if the user has not provided any prefix, don't make any assumptions (i.e., assume AF_UNSPEC when dealing with 'getaddrinfo') *unless* the host starts with "[" (in which case, assume it's an IPv6 host). - If the user has provided a prefix that does specify the protocol version (i.e., "tcp4:", "tcp6:", "udp4:" or "udp6:"), then respect that. This method doesn't follow strictly what RFC 2732 proposes (that literal IPv6 addresses should be provided enclosed in "[" and "]") because IPv6 addresses still can be provided without square brackets in our case, but since we have prefixes to specify protocol versions I think this is not an issue. Another thing worth mentioning is the new 'GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST' testcase parameter, which makes it possible to specify the hostname (without the port) to be used when testing GDB and gdbserver. For example, to run IPv6 tests: $ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp6:[::1]' Or, to run IPv4 tests: $ make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS='GDB_TEST_SOCKETHOST=tcp4:127.0.0.1' This required a few changes on the gdbserver-base.exp, and also a minimal adjustment on gdb.server/run-without-local-binary.exp. Finally, I've implemented a new testcase, gdb.server/server-connect.exp, which is supposed to run on the native host and perform various "smoke tests" using different connection methods.

2018-07-02GDB PR tdep/8282: MIPS: Wire in `set disassembler-options'Maciej W. Rozycki1-0/+3
Implement MIPS target support for passing options to the disassembler, complementing commit 65b48a81404c ("GDB: Add support for the new set/show disassembler-options commands."). This includes options that expect an argument, so adjust the generic code and data structures used so as to handle such options. So as to give backends syntax flexibility no specific delimiter has been defined to separate options from their respective arguments, so it has to be included as the last character of the option name. Completion code however has not been adjusted and consequently option arguments cannot be completed at this time. Also the MIPS target has non-empty defaults for the options, so that ABI names for the general-purpose registers respect our `set mips abi ...' setting rather than always being determined from the ELF headers of the binary file selected. Handle these defaults as implicit options, never shown to the user and always prepended to the user-specified options, so that the latters can override the defaults. The resulting output for the MIPS target is as follows: (gdb) show disassembler-options The current disassembler options are '' The following disassembler options are supported for use with the 'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command: no-aliases Use canonical instruction forms. msa Recognize MSA instructions. virt Recognize the virtualization ASE instructions. xpa Recognize the eXtended Physical Address (XPA) ASE instructions. ginv Recognize the Global INValidate (GINV) ASE instructions. gpr-names=ABI Print GPR names according to specified ABI.

The relevant part the new code is now also used by `objdump --help', which means these formatting changes apply to both outputs, except for argument list wrapping, which is GDB-specific. This also adds a separating new line between the heading and option lists where descriptions are provided, hence: (gdb) set architecture s390:31-bit (gdb) show disassembler-options The current disassembler options are '' The following disassembler options are supported for use with the 'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command: esa Disassemble in ESA architecture mode zarch Disassemble in z/Architecture mode insnlength Print unknown instructions according to length from first two bits (gdb) but: (gdb) set architecture powerpc:common (gdb) show disassembler-options The current disassembler options are '' The following disassembler options are supported for use with the 'set disassembler-options <option>[,<option>...]' command: 403, 405, 440, 464, 476, 601, 603, 604, 620, 7400, 7410, 7450, 7455, 750cl, 821, 850, 860, a2, altivec, any, booke, booke32, cell, com, e200z4, e300, e500, e500mc, e500mc64, e5500, e6500, e500x2, efs, efs2, power4, power5, power6, power7, power8, power9, ppc, ppc32, 32, ppc64, 64, ppc64bridge, ppcps, pwr, pwr2, pwr4, pwr5, pwr5x, pwr6, pwr7, pwr8, pwr9, pwrx, raw, spe, spe2, titan, vle, vsx (gdb) Existing affected target backends have been adjusted accordingly.

2018-06-08linux: Add maintenance commands to test libthread_dbGary Benson1-0/+10
This commit adds two new commands which may be used to test thread debugging libraries used by GDB: * "maint check libthread-db" tests the thread debugging library GDB is using for the current inferior. * "maint set/show check-libthread-db" selects whether libthread_db tests should be run automatically as libthread_db is auto-loaded. The default is to not run tests automatically. The test itself is a basic integrity check exercising all libthread_db functions used by GDB on GNU/Linux systems. By extension this also exercises the proc_service functions provided by GDB that libthread_db uses. This functionality is useful for NPTL developers and libthread_db developers. It could also prove useful investigating bugs reported against GDB where the thread debugging library or GDB's proc_service layer is suspect. gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-thread-db.c (valprint.h): New include.

2018-05-31Fix "set" handling of Python parametersTom Tromey1-0/+4
It's long bothered me that setting a Python parameter from the CLI will print the "set" help text by default. I think usually "set" commands should be silent. And, while you can modify this behavior a bit by providing a "get_set_string" method, if this method returns an empty string, a blank line will be printed. This patch removes the "help" behavior and changes the get_set_string behavior to avoid printing a blank line. The code has a comment about preserving API behavior, but I don't think this is truly important; and in any case the workaround -- implementing get_set_string -- is trivial.

2018-05-31arch-utils: Make the last endianness actually chosen stickyMaciej W. Rozycki1-0/+6
Use the last endianness explicitly selected, either by choosing a binary file or with the `set endian' command, for future automatic selection. As observed with the `gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols.exp' test case when discarding the binary file even while connected to a live target the endianness automatically selected is reset to the GDB target's default, even if it does not match the endianness of the target being talked to. For example with a little-endian MIPS target and the default endianness being big we get this: (gdb) file .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols/step-over-no-symbols Reading symbols from .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-no-symbols/step-over-no-symbols...done.

Consequently the debug session no longer works as expected, until the endianness is overridden with an explicit `set endian little' command. This will happen while working with any target hardware whose endianness does not match the default GDB target's endianness guessed and recorded for a later use in `initialize_current_architecture'. Given that within a single run of GDB it is more likely that consecutive target connections will use the same endianness than that the endianness will be swapped between connections, it makes sense to preserve the last endianness explicitly selected as the automatic default. It will make a session like above, where an executable is removed, work correctly and will retain the endianness for a further reconnection to the target. And the new automatic default will still be overridden by subsequently choosing a binary to debug, or with an explicit `set endian' command. With the change in place the test case above completes successfully: (gdb) continue Continuing.

Some unaligned watchpoints were currently missed. On old kernels as specified in kernel RFE: aarch64: ptrace: BAS: Support any contiguous range (edit) https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20207 after this patch some other unaligned watchpoints will get reported as false positives. With new kernels all the watchpoints should work exactly. There may be a regresion that it now less merges watchpoints so that with multiple overlapping watchpoints it may run out of the 4 hardware watchpoint registers. But as discussed in the original thread GDB needs some generic watchpoints merging framework to be used by all the target specific code. Even current FSF GDB code does not merge it perfectly. Also with the more precise watchpoints one can technically merge them less. And I do not think it matters too much to improve mergeability only for old kernels. Still even on new kernels some better merging logic would make sense. There remains one issue: kernel-4.15.14-300.fc27.armv7hl FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue (gdb) continue Continuing. Unexpected error setting watchpoint: Invalid argument. (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue But that looks as a kernel bug to me. (1) It is not a regression by this patch. (2) It is unrelated to this patch. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-05-04 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR breakpoints/19806 and support for PR external/20207. * NEWS: Mention Aarch64 watchpoint improvements. * aarch64-linux-nat.c (aarch64_linux_stopped_data_address): Fix missed watchpoints and PR external/20207 watchpoints. * nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c (kernel_supports_any_contiguous_range): New.
