2023-08-23gdb: centralize "[Thread ...exited]" notificationsPedro Alves1-1/+3
Currently, each target backend is responsible for printing "[Thread ...exited]" before deleting a thread. This leads to unnecessary differences between targets, like e.g. with the remote target, we never print such messages, even though we do print "[New Thread ...]". E.g., debugging the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp with gdbserver, letting it run for a bit, and then pressing Ctrl-C, we currently see: (gdb) c Continuing. ^C[New Thread 3850398.3887449] [New Thread 3850398.3887500] [New Thread 3850398.3887551] [New Thread 3850398.3887602] [New Thread 3850398.3887653] ...

There's one wrinkle, though. While most targest want to print: [Thread ... exited] the Windows target wants to print: [Thread ... exited with code <exit_code>] ... and sometimes wants to suppress the notification for the main thread. To address that, this commits adds a delete_thread_with_code function, only used by that target (so far). This fix was originally posted as part of a larger series: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20221212203101.1034916-1-pedro@palves.net/ But didn't really need to be part of that series. In order to get this fix merged sooner, I (Andrew Burgess) have rebased this commit outside of the original series. Any bugs introduced while splitting this patch out and rebasing, are entirely my own. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30129 Co-Authored-By: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>
2023-08-23gdb: add missing notify_breakpoint_modified callAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
The commit: commit b080fe54fb3414b488b8ef323c6c50def061f918 Date: Tue Nov 8 12:32:51 2022 +0000 gdb: add inferior-specific breakpoints introduced a bug in the function breakpoint_set_inferior. The above commit includes this line: gdb::observers::breakpoint_modified.notify (b); when it should have instead used this line: notify_breakpoint_modified (b); The change to use notify_breakpoint_modified was introduced to GDB after commit b080fe54fb34 was written, but before it was merged, and I failed to update this part of the code during the rebase. The consequence of this error is that the MI interpreter will not emit breakpoint-modified notifications when breakpoint_set_inferior is called. In this commit I update the code to call notify_breakpoint_modified, and add a test that checks the MI events are being emitted correctly in this case.
2023-08-17gdb: add inferior-specific breakpointsAndrew Burgess1-49/+188
This commit extends the breakpoint mechanism to allow for inferior specific breakpoints (but not watchpoints in this commit). As GDB gains better support for multiple connections, and so for running multiple (possibly unrelated) inferiors, then it is not hard to imagine that a user might wish to create breakpoints that apply to any thread in a single inferior. To achieve this currently, the user would need to create a condition possibly making use of the $_inferior convenience variable, which, though functional, isn't the most user friendly. This commit adds a new 'inferior' keyword that allows for the creation of inferior specific breakpoints. Inferior specific breakpoints are automatically deleted when the associated inferior is removed from GDB, this is similar to how thread-specific breakpoints are deleted when the associated thread is deleted. Watchpoints are already per-program-space, which in most cases mean watchpoints are already inferior specific. There is a small window where inferior-specific watchpoints might make sense, which is after a vfork, when two processes are sharing the same address space. However, I'm leaving that as an exercise for another day. For now, attempting to use the inferior keyword with a watchpoint will give an error, like this: (gdb) watch a8 inferior 1 Cannot use 'inferior' keyword with watchpoints A final note on the implementation: currently, inferior specific breakpoints, like thread-specific breakpoints, are inserted into every inferior, GDB then checks once the inferior stops if we are in the correct thread or inferior, and resumes automatically if we stopped in the wrong thread/inferior. An obvious optimisation here is to only insert breakpoint locations into the specific program space (which mostly means inferior) that contains either the inferior or thread we are interested in. This would reduce the number times GDB has to stop and then resume again in a multi-inferior setup. I have a series on the mailing list[1] that implements this optimisation for thread-specific breakpoints. Once this series has landed I'll update that series to also handle inferior specific breakpoints in the same way. For now, inferior specific breakpoints are just slightly less optimal, but this is no different to thread-specific breakpoints in a multi-inferior debug session, so I don't see this as a huge problem.

2023-08-03gdb: avoid double stop after failed breakpoint condition checkAndrew Burgess1-12/+0
This commit replaces this earlier commit: commit 2e411b8c68eb2b035b31d5b00d940d4be1a0928b Date: Fri Oct 14 14:53:15 2022 +0100 gdb: don't always print breakpoint location after failed condition check and is a result of feedback received here[1]. The original commit addressed a problem where, if a breakpoint condition included an inferior function call, and if the inferior function call failed, then GDB would announce the stop twice. Here's an example of GDB's output before the above commit that shows the problem being addressed: (gdb) break foo if (some_func ()) Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1: The program being debugged stopped while in a function called from GDB. Evaluation of the expression containing the function (some_func) will be abandoned. When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop. Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; (gdb) The original commit addressed this issue in breakpoint.c, by spotting that the $pc had changed while evaluating the breakpoint condition, and inferring from this that GDB must have stopped elsewhere. However, the way in which the original commit suppressed the second stop announcement was to set bpstat::print to true -- this tells GDB not to print the frame during the stop announcement, and for the CLI this is fine, however, it was pointed out that for the MI this still isn't really enough. Below is an example from an MI session after the above commit was applied, this shows the problem with the above commit: -break-insert -c "cond_fail()" foo ^done,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x000000000040111e",func="foo",file="/tmp/mi-condbreak-fail.c",line="30",thread-groups=["i1"],cond="cond_fail()",times="0",original-location="foo"} (gdb) -exec-run =thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="2636270" =thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1" =library-loaded,id="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",target-name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",host-name="/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2",symbols-loaded="0",thread-group="i1",ranges=[{from="0x00007ffff7fd3110",to="0x00007ffff7ff2bb4"}] ^running *running,thread-id="all" (gdb) =library-loaded,id="/lib64/libm.so.6",target-name="/lib64/libm.so.6",host-name="/lib64/libm.so.6",symbols-loaded="0",thread-group="i1",ranges=[{from="0x00007ffff7e59390",to="0x00007ffff7ef4f98"}] =library-loaded,id="/lib64/libc.so.6",target-name="/lib64/libc.so.6",host-name="/lib64/libc.so.6",symbols-loaded="0",thread-group="i1",ranges=[{from="0x00007ffff7ca66b0",to="0x00007ffff7df3c5f"}] ~"\nProgram" ~" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.\n" ~"0x0000000000401116 in cond_fail () at /tmp/mi-condbreak-fail.c:24\n" ~"24\t return *p;\t\t\t/* Crash here. */\n" *stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV",signal-meaning="Segmentation fault",frame={addr="0x0000000000401116",func="cond_fail",args=[],file="/tmp/mi-condbreak-fail.c",fullname="/tmp/mi-condbreak-fail.c",line="24",arch="i386:x86-64"},thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="9" &"Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1:\n" &"The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.\n" &"GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.\n" &"To change this behavior use \"set unwindonsignal on\".\n" &"Evaluation of the expression containing the function\n" &"(cond_fail) will be abandoned.\n" &"When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.\n" =breakpoint-modified,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",enabled="y",addr="0x000000000040111e",func="foo",file="/tmp/mi-condbreak-fail.c",fullname="/tmp/mi-condbreak-fail.c",line="30",thread-groups=["i1"],cond="cond_fail()",times="1",original-location="foo"} *stopped (gdb) Notice that we still see two '*stopped' lines, the first includes the full frame information, while the second has no frame information, this is a result of bpstat::print having been set. Ideally, the second '*stopped' line should not be present. By setting bpstat::print I was addressing the problem too late, this flag really only changes how interp::on_normal_stop prints the stop event, and interp::on_normal_stop is called (indirectly) from the normal_stop function in infrun.c. A better solution is to avoid calling normal_stop at all for the stops which should not be reported to the user, and this is what I do in this commit. This commit has 3 parts: 1. In breakpoint.c, revert the above commit, 2. In fetch_inferior_event (infrun.c), capture the stop-id before calling handle_inferior_event. If, after calling handle_inferior_event, the stop-id has changed, then this indicates that somewhere within handle_inferior_event, a stop was announced to the user. If this is the case then GDB should not call normal_stop, and we should rely on whoever announced the stop to ensure that we are in a PROMPT_NEEDED state, which means the prompt will be displayed once fetch_inferior_event returns. And, 3. In infcall.c, do two things: (a) In run_inferior_call, after making the inferior call, ensure that either async_disable_stdin or async_enable_stdin is called to put the prompt state, and stdin handling into the correct state based on whether the inferior call completed successfully or not, and (b) In call_thread_fsm::should_stop, call async_enable_stdin rather than changing the prompt state directly. This isn't strictly necessary, but helped me understand this code more. This async_enable_stdin call is only reached if normal_stop is not going to be called, and replaces the async_enable_stdin call that exists in normal_stop. Though we could just adjust the prompt state if felt (to me) much easier to understand when I could see this call and the corresponding call in normal_stop. With these changes in place now, when the inferior call (from the breakpoint condition) fails, infcall.c leaves the prompt state as PROMPT_NEEDED, and leaves stdin registered with the event loop. Back in fetch_inferior_event GDB notices that the stop-id has changed and so avoids calling normal_stop. And on return from fetch_inferior_event GDB will display the prompt and handle input from stdin. As normal_stop is not called the MI problem is solved, and the test added in the earlier mentioned commit still passes just fine, so the CLI has not regressed.

2023-07-10gdb: include location number in breakpoint error messageAndrew Burgess1-3/+11
This commit improves the output of this previous commit: commit 2dc3457a454a35d0617dc1f9cc1db77468471f95 Date: Fri Oct 14 13:22:55 2022 +0100 gdb: include breakpoint number in testing condition error message The earlier commit extended the error message: Error in testing breakpoint condition: to include the breakpoint number, e.g.: Error in testing breakpoint condition 3: This commit extends takes this further, and includes the location number if the breakpoint has multiple locations, so we might now see: Error in testing breakpoint condition 3.2: Just as with how GDB reports a normal breakpoint stop, if a breakpoint only has a single location then the location number is not included, this keeps things nice and consistent.

Replace the hand-maintained linked lists of breakpoint locations with and intrusive list. - Remove breakpoint::loc, add breakpoint::m_locations. - Add methods for the various manipulations that need to be done on the location list, while maintaining reasonably good encapsulation. - bp_location currently has a default constructor because of one use in hoist_existing_locations. hoist_existing_locations now returns a bp_location_list, and doesn't need the default-constructor bp_location anymore, so remove the bp_location default constructor. - I needed to add a call to clear_locations in delete_breakpoint to avoid a use-after-free. - Add a breakpoint::last_loc method, for use in set_breakpoint_condition. bp_location_range uses reference_to_pointer_iterator, so that all existing callers of breakpoint::locations don't need to change right now. It will be removed in the next patch. The rest of the changes are to adapt the call sites to use the new methods, of breakpoint::locations, rather than breakpoint::loc directly.

Add convenience first_loc methods to struct breakpoint (const and non-const overloads). A subsequent patch changes the list of locations to be an intrusive_list and makes the actual list private, so these spots would need to change from: b->loc to something ugly like: *b->locations ().begin () That would make the code much heavier and not readable. There is a surprisingly big number of places that access the first location of breakpoints. Whether this is correct, or these spots fail to consider the possibility of multi-location breakpoints, I don't know. But anyhow, I think that using this instead: b->first_loc () conveys the intention better than the other two forms.

2023-05-19gdb/breakpoint: use warning function instead of gdb_printfAndrew Burgess1-3/+3
Noticed that in breakpoint.c, in one place, we do this: gdb_printf (_("warning: Error removing " "breakpoint %d\n"), old_loc->owner->number); Instead of using the `warning` function. There are a number of differences between using gdb_printf like this and calling `warning`, the main one is probably that real warnings are sent to gdb_stderr, while the above gdb_printf call will go to gdb_stdout. In this commit I: 1. Change to call `warning`, we can drop the "warning: " prefix from the string in breakpoint.c, 2. Update the warning text, I now start with a lower case 'e', which I believe is the GDB style for warnings, 3. And I have included the address of the bp_location in the warning messsage, 4. Finally, I update all the tests (2) that include this error message. Reviewed-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2023-05-11Disable out-of-scope watchpointsJohnson Sun1-0/+1
Currently, when a local software watchpoint goes out of scope, GDB sets the watchpoint's disposition to `delete at next stop' and then normal stops (i.e., stop and wait for the next GDB command). When GDB normal stops, it automatically deletes the breakpoints with their disposition set to `delete at next stop'. Suppose a Python script decides not to normal stop when a local software watchpoint goes out of scope, the watchpoint will not be automatically deleted even when its disposition is set to `delete at next stop'. Since GDB single-steps the program and tests the watched expression after each instruction, not deleting the watchpoint causes the watchpoint to be hit many more times than it should, as reported in PR python/29603. This was happening because the watchpoint is not deleted or disabled when going out of scope. This commit fixes this issue by disabling the watchpoint when going out of scope. It also adds a test to ensure this feature isn't regressed in the future. Calling `breakpoint_auto_delete' on all kinds of stops (in `fetch_inferior_event') seem to solve this issue, but is in fact inappropriate, since `breakpoint_auto_delete' goes over all breakpoints instead of just going through the bpstat chain (which only contains the breakpoints that were hit right now).

2023-05-09gdb: fix use-after-free in check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummySimon Marchi1-9/+16
Commit 7a8de0c33019 ("Remove ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFE") introduced a use-after-free in the breakpoints iterations (see below for full ASan report). This makes gdb.base/stale-infcall.exp fail when GDB is build with ASan. check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy iterates on all breakpoints, possibly deleting the current breakpoint as well as related breakpoints. The problem arises when a breakpoint in the B->related_breakpoint chain is also B->next. In that case, deleting that related breakpoint frees the breakpoint that all_breakpoints_safe has saved. The old code worked around that by manually changing B_TMP, which was the next breakpoint saved by the "safe iterator": while (b->related_breakpoint != b) { if (b_tmp == b->related_breakpoint) b_tmp = b->related_breakpoint->next; delete_breakpoint (b->related_breakpoint); } (Note that this seemed to assume that b->related_breakpoint->next was the same as b->next->next, not sure this is guaranteed.) The new code kept the B_TMP variable, but it's not useful in that context. We can't go change the next breakpoint as saved by the safe iterator, like we did before. I suggest fixing that by saving the breakpoints to delete in a map and deleting them all at the end. Here's the full ASan report: (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/stale-infcall.exp: continue to breakpoint: break-run1 print infcall () =================================================================

2023-05-07Remove ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFETom Tromey1-71/+63
There's just a single remaining use of the ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFE macro; this patch replaces it with a for-each and an explicit temporary variable.
2023-05-02Remove error_streamTom Tromey1-2/+2
error_stream is trivial and only used in a couple of spots in breakpoint.c. This patch removes it in favor of just writing it out at the spots where it was used.
2023-05-01gdb: move struct ui and related things to ui.{c,h}Simon Marchi1-0/+1
I'd like to move some things so they become methods on struct ui. But first, I think that struct ui and the related things are big enough to deserve their own file, instead of being scattered through top.{c,h} and event-top.c. Change-Id: I15594269ace61fd76ef80a7b58f51ff3ab6979bc
2023-05-01Remove evaluate_expressionTom Tromey1-1/+1
evaluate_expression is just a little wrapper for a method on expression. Removing it also removes a lot of ugly (IMO) calls to get().

2023-04-11gdb: warn when converting h/w watchpoints to s/wAndrew Burgess1-2/+17
On amd64 (at least) if a user sets a watchpoint before the inferior has started then GDB will assume that a hardware watchpoint can be created. When the inferior starts there is a chance that the watchpoint can't actually be create as a hardware watchpoint, in which case (currently) GDB will silently convert the watchpoint to a software watchpoint. Here's an example session: (gdb) p sizeof var $1 = 4000 (gdb) watch var Hardware watchpoint 1: var (gdb) info watchpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 hw watchpoint keep y var (gdb) starti Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/watch Program stopped. 0x00007ffff7fd3110 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (gdb) info watchpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 watchpoint keep y var (gdb) Notice that before the `starti` command the watchpoint is showing as a hardware watchpoint, but afterwards it is showing as a software watchpoint. Additionally, note that we clearly told the user we created a hardware watchpoint: (gdb) watch var Hardware watchpoint 1: var I think this is bad. I used `starti`, but if the user did `start` or even `run` then the inferior is going to be _very_ slow, which will be unexpected -- after all, we clearly told the user that we created a hardware watchpoint, and the manual clearly says that hardware watchpoints are fast (at least compared to s/w watchpoints). In this patch I propose adding a new warning which will be emitted when GDB downgrades a h/w watchpoint to s/w. The session now looks like this: (gdb) p sizeof var $1 = 4000 (gdb) watch var Hardware watchpoint 1: var (gdb) info watchpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 hw watchpoint keep y var (gdb) starti Starting program: /home/andrew/tmp/watch warning: watchpoint 1 downgraded to software watchpoint Program stopped. 0x00007ffff7fd3110 in _start () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (gdb) info watchpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 watchpoint keep y var (gdb) The important line is: warning: watchpoint 1 downgraded to software watchpoint It's not much, but hopefully it will be enough to indicate to the user that something unexpected has occurred, and hopefully, they will not be surprised when the inferior runs much slower than they expected. I've added an amd64 only test in gdb.arch/, I didn't want to try adding this as a global test as other architectures might be able to support the watchpoint request in h/w. Also the test is skipped for extended-remote boards as there's a different set of options for limiting hardware watchpoints on remote targets, and this test isn't about them.

Consider the following session: (gdb) list some_func 1 int 2 some_func () 3 { 4 int *p = 0; 5 return *p; 6 } 7 8 void 9 foo () 10 { (gdb) break foo if (some_func ()) Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1: The program being debugged stopped while in a function called from GDB. Evaluation of the expression containing the function (some_func) will be abandoned. When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop. Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; (gdb) What happens here is the breakpoint condition includes a call to an inferior function, and the inferior function segfaults. We can see that GDB reports the segfault, and then gives an error message that indicates that an inferior function call was interrupted. After this GDB appears to report that it is stopped at Breakpoint 1, inside some_func. I find this second stop report a little confusing. While it is true that GDB stopped as a result of hitting breakpoint 1, I think the message GDB currently prints might give the impression that GDB is actually stopped at a location of breakpoint 1, which is not the case. Also, I find the second stop message draws attention away from the "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault" stop message, and this second stop might be thought of as replacing in someway the earlier message. In short, I think things would be clearer if the second stop message were not reported at all, so the output should, I think, look like this: (gdb) list some_func 1 int 2 some_func () 3 { 4 int *p = 0; 5 return *p; 6 } 7 8 void 9 foo () 10 { (gdb) break foo if (some_func ()) Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1: The program being debugged stopped while in a function called from GDB. Evaluation of the expression containing the function (some_func) will be abandoned. When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop. (gdb) The user can still find the number of the breakpoint that triggered the initial stop in this line: Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1: But there's now only one stop reason reported, the SIGSEGV, which I think is much clearer. To achieve this change I set the bpstat::print field when: (a) a breakpoint condition evaluation failed, and (b) the $pc of the thread changed during condition evaluation. I've updated the existing tests that checked the error message printed when a breakpoint condition evaluation failed.
2023-04-03gdb: include breakpoint number in testing condition error messageAndrew Burgess1-1/+2
When GDB fails to test the condition of a conditional breakpoint, for whatever reason, the error message looks like this: (gdb) break foo if (*(int *) 0) == 1 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Error in testing breakpoint condition: Cannot access memory at address 0x0 Breakpoint 1, foo () at bpcond.c:11 11 int a = 32; (gdb) The line I'm interested in for this commit is this one: Error in testing breakpoint condition: In the case above we can figure out that the problematic breakpoint was #1 because in the final line of the message GDB reports the stop at breakpoint #1. However, in the next few patches I plan to change this. In some cases I don't think it makes sense for GDB to report the stop as being at breakpoint #1, consider this case: (gdb) list some_func 1 int 2 some_func () 3 { 4 int *p = 0; 5 return *p; 6 } 7 8 void 9 foo () 10 { (gdb) break foo if (some_func ()) Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; Error in testing breakpoint condition: The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB. GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received. To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on". Evaluation of the expression containing the function (some_func) will be abandoned. When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5 5 return *p; (gdb) Notice that, the final lines of output reports the stop as being at breakpoint #1, even though the inferior in not located within some_func, and it's certainly not located at the breakpoint location. I find this behaviour confusing, and propose that this should be changed. However, if I make that change then every reference to breakpoint #1 will be lost from the error message. So, in this commit, in preparation for the later commits, I propose to change the 'Error in testing breakpoint condition:' line to this: Error in testing condition for breakpoint NUMBER: where NUMBER will be filled in as appropriate. Here's the first example with the updated error: (gdb) break foo if (*(int *) 0) == 0 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11. (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/bpcond Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0x0 Breakpoint 1, foo () at bpcond.c:11 11 int a = 32; (gdb) The breakpoint number does now appear twice in the output, but I don't see that as a negative. This commit just changes the one line of the error, and updates the few tests that either included the old error in comments, or actually checked for the error in the expected output. As the only test that checked the line I modified is a Python test, I've added a new test that doesn't rely on Python that checks the error message in detail. While working on the new test, I spotted that it would fail when run with native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver target boards. This turns out to be due to a gdbserver bug. To avoid cluttering this commit I've added a work around to the new test script so that the test passes for the remote boards, in the next few commits I will fix gdbserver, and update the test script to remove the work around.
2023-03-20gdb: don't use the global thread-id in the saved breakpoints fileAndrew Burgess1-1/+4
I noticed that breakpoint::print_recreate_thread was printing the global thread-id. This function is used to implement the 'save breakpoints' command, and should be writing out suitable CLI commands for recreating the current breakpoints. The CLI does not use global thread-ids, but instead uses the inferior specific thread-ids, e.g. "2.1". After some discussion on the mailing list it was suggested that the most consistent solution would be for the saved breakpoints file to always contain the inferior-qualified thread-id, so the file would include "thread 1.1" instead of just "thread 1", even when there is only a single inferior. So, this commit adds print_full_thread_id, which is just like the existing print_thread_id, only it always prints the inferior-qualified thread-id. I then update the existing print_thread_id to make use of this new function, and finally, I update breakpoint::print_recreate_thread to also use this new function. There's a multi-inferior test that confirms the saved breakpoints file correctly includes the fully-qualified thread-id, and I've also updated the single inferior test gdb.base/save-bp.exp to have it validate that the saved breakpoints file includes the inferior-qualified thread-id, even for this single inferior case.
2023-03-17gdb: introduce bp_loc_tracepointSimon Marchi1-1/+8
Since commit cb1e4e32c2d9 ("catch catch/throw/rethrow", breakpoint -> catchpoint), this simple tracing scenario does not work: $ gdb/gdb -nx -q --data-directory=gdb/data-directory ./test Reading symbols from ./test... (gdb) tar rem :1234 Remote debugging using :1234 Reading symbols from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2... (No debugging symbols found in /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) 0x00007ffff7fe5730 in ??

The root cause is that the bp_location::nserted flag does not transfer anymore from an old bp_location to the new matching one. When a shared library gets loaded, GDB computes new breakpoint locations for each breakpoint in update_breakpoint_locations. The new locations are in the breakpoint::loc chain, while the old locations are still in the bp_locations global vector. Later, update_global_location_list is called. It tries to map old locations to new locations, and if necessary transfer some properties, like the inserted flag. Since commit cb1e4e32c2d9, the inserted flag isn't transferred for locations of tracepoints. This is because bl_address_is_meaningful used to be implemented like this: static int breakpoint_address_is_meaningful (struct breakpoint *bpt) { enum bptype type = bpt->type; return (type != bp_watchpoint && type != bp_catchpoint); } and was changed to this: static bool bl_address_is_meaningful (bp_location *loc) { return loc->loc_type != bp_loc_other; } Because locations for tracepoints have the bp_loc_other type, bl_address_is_meaningful started to return false for them, where it returned true before. This made update_global_location_list skip the part where it calls swap_insertion. I think this can be solved by introduced a new bp_loc_tracepoint bp_loc_type. I don't know if it's accurate, but my understanding is that bp_loc_type describes roughly "how do we ask the target to insert that location". bp_loc_software_breakpoint are inserted using target_ops::insert_breakpoint_location. bp_loc_hardware_breakpoint are inserted using target_ops::insert_hw_breakpoint. bp_loc_software_watchpoint and bp_loc_hardware_watchpoint are inserted using target_ops::insert_watchpoint. For all these, the address is meaningful, as we ask the target to insert the point at a specific address. bp_loc_other is a catch-all for "the rest", in practice for catchpoints that don't have a specific address (hence why bl_address_is_meaningful returns false for them). For instance, inserting a signal catchpoint is done by asking the target to report that specific signal. GDB doesn't associate an address to that. But tracepoints do have a meaningful address to thems, so they can't be bp_loc_other, with that logic. They also can't be bp_loc_software_breakpoint, because we don't want GDB to insert breakpoints for them (even though they might be implemented using software breakpoints by the remote side). So, the new bp_loc_tracepoint type describes that the way to insert these locations is with target_ops::download_tracepoint. It makes bl_address_is_meaningful return true for them. And they'll be ignored by insert_bp_location and GDB won't try to insert a memory breakpoint for them. With this, I see a few instances of 'Target returns error code: 01' disappearing from gdb.log, and the results of gdb.trace/*.exp improve a little bit: -# of expected passes 3765 +# of expected passes 3781 -# of unexpected failures 518 +# of unexpected failures 498 Things remain quite broken in that area though.

2023-02-28gdb: fix mi breakpoint-deleted notifications for thread-specific b/pAndrew Burgess1-5/+1
Background ---------- When a thread-specific breakpoint is deleted as a result of the specific thread exiting the function remove_threaded_breakpoints is called which sets the disposition of the breakpoint to disp_del_at_next_stop and sets the breakpoint number to 0. Setting the breakpoint number to zero has the effect of hiding the breakpoint from the user. We also print a message indicating that the breakpoint has been deleted. It was brought to my attention during a review of another patch[1] that setting a breakpoints number to zero will suppress the MI breakpoint-deleted notification for that breakpoint, and indeed, this can be seen to be true, in delete_breakpoint, if the breakpoint number is zero, then GDB will not notify the breakpoint_deleted observer. It seems wrong that a user created, thread-specific breakpoint, will have a =breakpoint-created notification, but will not have a =breakpoint-deleted notification. I suspect that this is a bug. [1] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-February/196560.html The First Problem ----------------- During my initial testing I wanted to see how GDB handled the breakpoint after it's number was set to zero. To do this I created the testcase gdb.threads/thread-bp-deleted.exp. This test creates a worker thread, which immediately exits. After the worker thread has exited the main thread spins in a loop. In GDB I break once the worker thread has been created and place a thread-specific breakpoint, then use 'continue&' to resume the inferior in non-stop mode. The worker thread then exits, but the main thread never stops - instead it sits in the spin. I then tried to use 'maint info breakpoints' to see what GDB thought of the thread-specific breakpoint. Unfortunately, GDB crashed like this: (gdb) continue& Continuing. (gdb) [Thread 0x7ffff7c5d700 (LWP 1202458) exited] Thread-specific breakpoint 3 deleted - thread 2 no longer in the thread list. maint info breakpoints ... snip some output ... Fatal signal: Segmentation fault ----- Backtrace ----- 0x5ffb62 gdb_internal_backtrace_1 ../../src/gdb/bt-utils.c:122 0x5ffc05 _Z22gdb_internal_backtracev ../../src/gdb/bt-utils.c:168 0x89965e handle_fatal_signal ../../src/gdb/event-top.c:964 0x8997ca handle_sigsegv ../../src/gdb/event-top.c:1037 0x7f96f5971b1f ??? /usr/src/debug/glibc-2.30-2-gd74461fa34/nptl/../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/sigaction.c:0 0xe602b0 _Z15print_thread_idP11thread_info ../../src/gdb/thread.c:1439 0x5b3d05 print_one_breakpoint_location ../../src/gdb/breakpoint.c:6542 0x5b462e print_one_breakpoint ../../src/gdb/breakpoint.c:6702 0x5b5354 breakpoint_1 ../../src/gdb/breakpoint.c:6924 0x5b58b8 maintenance_info_breakpoints ../../src/gdb/breakpoint.c:7009 ... etc ... As the thread-specific breakpoint is set to disp_del_at_next_stop, and GDB hasn't stopped yet, then the breakpoint still exists in the global breakpoint list. The breakpoint will not show in 'info breakpoints' as its number is zero, but it will show in 'maint info breakpoints'. As GDB prints the breakpoint, the thread-id for the breakpoint is printed as part of the 'stop only in thread ...' line. Printing the thread-id involves calling find_thread_global_id to convert the global thread-id into a thread_info*. Then calling print_thread_id to convert the thread_info* into a string. The problem is that find_thread_global_id returns nullptr as the thread for the thread-specific breakpoint has exited. The print_thread_id assumes it will be passed a non-nullptr. As a result GDB crashes. In this commit I've added an assert to print_thread_id (gdb/thread.c) to check that the pointed passed in is not nullptr. This assert would have triggered in the above case before GDB crashed. MI Notifications: The Dangers Of Changing A Breakpoint's Number --------------------------------------------------------------- Currently the delete_breakpoint function doesn't trigger the breakpoint_deleted observer for any breakpoint with the number zero. There is a comment explaining why this is the case in the code; it's something about watchpoints. But I did consider just removing the 'is the number zero' guard and always triggering the breakpoint_deleted observer, figuring that I'd then fix the watchpoint issue some other way. But I realised this wasn't going to be good enough. When the MI notification was delivered the number would be zero, so any frontend parsing the notifications would not be able to match =breakpoint-deleted notification to the earlier =breakpoint-created notification. What this means is that, at the point the breakpoint_deleted observer is called, the breakpoint's number must be correct. MI Notifications: The Dangers Of Delaying Deletion -------------------------------------------------- The test I used to expose the above crash also brought another problem to my attention. In the above test we used 'continue&' to resume, after which a thread exited, but the inferior didn't stop. Recreating the same test in the MI looks like this: -break-insert -p 2 main ^done,bkpt={number="2",type="breakpoint",disp="keep",...<snip>...} (gdb) -exec-continue ^running *running,thread-id="all" (gdb) ~"[Thread 0x7ffff7c5d700 (LWP 987038) exited]\n" =thread-exited,id="2",group-id="i1" ~"Thread-specific breakpoint 2 deleted - thread 2 no longer in the thread list.\n" At this point the we have a single thread left, which is still running: -thread-info ^done,threads=[{id="1",target-id="Thread 0x7ffff7c5eb80 (LWP 987035)",name="thread-bp-delet",state="running",core="4"}],current-thread-id="1" (gdb) Notice that we got the =thread-exited notification from GDB as soon as the thread exited. We also saw the CLI line from GDB, the line explaining that breakpoint 2 was deleted. But, as expected, we didn't see the =breakpoint-deleted notification. I say "as expected" because the number was set to zero. But, even if the number was not set to zero we still wouldn't see the notification. The MI notification is driven by the breakpoint_deleted observer, which is only called when we actually delete the breakpoint, which is only done the next time GDB stops. Now, maybe this is fine. The notification is delivered a little late. But remember, by setting the number to zero the breakpoint will be hidden from the user, for example, the breakpoint is removed from the MI's -break-info command output. This means that GDB is in a position where the breakpoint doesn't show up in the breakpoint table, but a =breakpoint-deleted notification has not yet been sent out. This doesn't seem right to me. What this means is that, when the thread exits, we should immediately be sending out the =breakpoint-deleted notification. We should not wait for GDB to next stop before sending the notification. The Solution ------------ My proposed solution is this; in remove_threaded_breakpoints, instead of setting the disposition to disp_del_at_next_stop and setting the number to zero, we now just call delete_breakpoint directly. The notification will now be sent out immediately; as soon as the thread exits. As the number has not changed when delete_breakpoint is called, the notification will have the correct number. And as the breakpoint is immediately removed from the breakpoint list, we no longer need to worry about 'maint info breakpoints' trying to print the thread-id for an exited thread. My only concern is that calling delete_breakpoint directly seems so obvious that I wonder why the original patch (that added remove_threaded_breakpoints) didn't take this approach. This code was added in commit 49fa26b0411d, but the commit message offers no clues to why this approach was taken, and the original email thread offers no insights either[2]. There are no test regressions after making this change, so I'm hopeful that this is going to be fine. [2] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2013-September/106493.html The Complication ---------------- Of course, it couldn't be that simple. The script gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp had some regressions during testing. The problem was with the FinishBreakpoint.out_of_scope callback implementation. This callback is supposed to trigger whenever the FinishBreakpoint goes out of scope; and this includes when the thread for the breakpoint exits. The problem I ran into is the Python FinishBreakpoint implementation. Specifically, after this change I was loosing some of the out_of_scope calls. The problem is that the out_of_scope call (of which I'm interested) is triggered from the inferior_exit observer. Before my change the observers were called in this order: thread_exit inferior_exit breakpoint_deleted The inferior_exit would trigger the out_of_scope call. After my change the breakpoint_deleted notification (for thread-specific breakpoints) occurs earlier, as soon as the thread-exits, so now the order is: thread_exit breakpoint_deleted inferior_exit Currently, after the breakpoint_deleted call the Python object associated with the breakpoint is released, so, when we get to the inferior_exit observer, there's no longer a Python object to call the out_of_scope method on. My solution is to follow the model for how bpfinishpy_pre_stop_hook and bpfinishpy_post_stop_hook are called, this is done from gdbpy_breakpoint_cond_says_stop in py-breakpoint.c. I've now added a new bpfinishpy_pre_delete_hook gdbpy_breakpoint_deleted in py-breakpoint.c, and from this new hook function I check and where needed call the out_of_scope method. With this fix in place I now see the gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp test fully passing again. Testing ------- Tested on x86-64/Linux with unix, native-gdbserver, and native-extended-gdbserver boards. New tests added to covers all the cases I've discussed above.

2023-02-28gdb: don't duplicate 'thread' field in MI breakpoint outputAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
When creating a thread-specific breakpoint with a single location, the 'thread' field would be repeated in the MI output. This can be seen in two existing tests gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp and gdb.mi/mi-pending.exp, e.g.: (gdb) -break-insert -p 1 bar ^done,bkpt={number="1",type="breakpoint",disp="keep", enabled="y", addr="0x000000000040110a",func="bar", file="/tmp/mi-thread-specific-bp.c", fullname="/tmp/mi-thread-specific-bp.c", line="32",thread-groups=["i1"], thread="1",thread="1", <================ DUPLICATION! times="0",original-location="bar"} I know we need to be careful when adjusting MI output, but I'm hopeful in this case, as the field is duplicated, and the field contents are always identical, that we might get away with removing one of the duplicates. The change in GDB is a fairly trivial condition change. We did have a couple of tests that contained the duplicate fields in their expected output, but given there was no comment pointing out this oddity either in the GDB code, or in the test, I suspect this was more a case of copying whatever output GDB produced and using that as the expected results. I've updated these tests to remove the duplication. I've update lib/mi-support.exp to provide support for building breakpoint patterns that contain the thread field, and I've made use of this in a new test I've added that is just about creating thread-specific breakpoints and checking the results. The two tests I mentioned above as being updated could also use the new lib/mi-support.exp functionality, but I'm going to do that in a later patch, this way it is clear what changes I'm actually proposing to make to the expected output. As I said, I hope that frontends will be able to handle this change, but I still think its worth adding a NEWS entry, that way, if someone runs into problems, there's a chance they can figure out what's going on. This should not impact CLI output at all. Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> Approved-By: Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>

2023-02-27Catch gdb_exception_error instead of gdb_exception (in many places)Kevin Buettner1-4/+4
As described in the previous commit for this series, I became concerned that there might be instances in which a QUIT (due to either a SIGINT or SIGTERM) might not cause execution to return to the top level. In some (though very few) instances, it is okay to not propagate the exception for a Ctrl-C / SIGINT, but I don't think that it is ever okay to swallow the exception caused by a SIGTERM. Allowing that to happen would definitely be a deviation from the current behavior in which GDB exits upon receipt of a SIGTERM. I looked at all cases where an exception handler catches a gdb_exception. Handlers which did NOT need modification were those which satisifed one or more of the following conditions: 1) There is no call path to maybe_quit() in the try block. I used a static analysis tool to help make this determination. In instances where the tool didn't provide an answer of "yes, this call path can result in maybe_quit() being called", I reviewed it by hand. 2) The catch block contains a throw for conditions that it doesn't want to handle; these "not handled" conditions must include the quit exception and the new "forced quit" exception. 3) There was (also) a catch for gdb_exception_quit. Any try/catch blocks not meeting the above conditions could potentially swallow a QUIT exception. My first thought was to add catch blocks for gdb_exception_quit and then rethrow the exception. But Pedro pointed out that this can be handled without adding additional code by simply catching gdb_exception_error instead. That's what this patch series does. There are some oddball cases which needed to be handled differently, plus the extension languages, but those are handled in later patches.
