2022-11-15gdb/configure: regenerateJose E. Marchesi1-2/+4
The commit bbaabc767a4293492817a0840819aef2768cce90 introduced an incorrect thunk for the `configure' script. This patch regenerates configure by calling autoreconf.
2022-11-15gdb: use libtool in GDB_AC_CHECK_BFDJose E. Marchesi1-8/+1644
The GDB_AC_CHECK_BFD macro defined in gdb/acinclude.m4 uses the AC_LINK_IFELSE autoconf macro in order to link a simple program to check features of libbfd. If libbfd's link dependencies change, it was necessary to reflect them either in the definition of the macro, or as a consequence of checking for them with an autoconf macro resulting in an addition to LIBS. This patch modifies the definition of the GDB_CHECK_BFD macro in order to use libtool to perform the test link. This makes it possible to not have to list dependencies of libbfd (which are indirect to GDB) at all. After this patch: configure:28553: checking for ELF support in BFD configure:28573: ./libtool --quiet --mode=link gcc -o conftest \ -I../../gdb/../include -I../bfd \ -I../../gdb/../bfd -g -O2 \ -L../bfd -L../libiberty conftest.c -lbfd -liberty \ -lncursesw -lm -ldl >&5 configure:28573: $? = 0 configure:28583: result: yes Tests performed: - Configure --with-system-zlib and --without-system-zlib. - Check link dependencies of installed GDB with both --enable-shared and --disable-shared. - Run installed GDB in both cases.

2022-11-07gdb: link executables with libtoolJose E. Marchesi1-198/+10866
This patch changes the GDB build system in order to use libtool to link the several built executables. This makes it possible to refer to libtool libraries (.la files) in CLIBS. As an application of the above, BFD now refers to ../libbfd/libbfd.la OPCODES now refers to ../opcodes/libopcodes.la LIBBACKTRACE_LIB now refers to ../libbacktrace/libbacktrace.la LIBCTF now refers to ../libctf/libctf.la NOTE1: The addition of libtool adds a few new configure-time options to GDB. Among these, --enable-shared and --disable-shared, which were previously ignored. Now GDB shall honor these options when linking, picking up the right version of the referred libtool libraries automagically. NOTE2: I have not tested the insight build. NOTE3: For regenerating configure I used an environment with Autoconf 2.69 and Automake 1.15.1. This should match the previously used version as announced in the configure script. NOTE4: Now the installed shared objects libbfd.so, libopcodes.so and libctf.so are used by gdb if binutils is installed with --enable-shared. Testing performed: - --enable-shared and --disable-shared (the default in binutils) work as expected: the linked executables link with the archive or shared libraries transparently. - Makefile.in modified for EXEEXT = .exe. It installs the binaries just fine. The installed gdb.exe runs fine. - Native build regtested in x86_64. No regressions found. - Cross build for aarch64-linux-gnu built to exercise program_transform_name and friends. The installed aarch64-linux-gnu-gdb runs fine.

2022-11-07configure: require libzstd >= 1.4.0Christophe Lyon1-10/+10
gas uses ZSTD_compressStream2 which is only available with libzstd >= 1.4.0, leading to build errors when an older version is installed. This patch updates the check libzstd presence to check its version is >= 1.4.0. However, since gas seems to be the only component requiring such a recent version this may imply that we disable ZSTD support for all components although some would still benefit from an older version. I ran 'autoreconf -f' in all directories containing a configure.ac file, using vanilla autoconf-2.69 and automake-1.15.1. I noticed several errors from autoheader in readline, as well as warnings in intl, but they are unrelated to this patch. This should fix some of the buildbots. OK for trunk? Thanks, Christophe

2022-09-26binutils, gdb: support zstd compressed debug sectionsFangrui Song1-3/+134
PR29397 PR29563: Add new configure option --with-zstd which defaults to auto. If pkgconfig/libzstd.pc is found, define HAVE_ZSTD and support zstd compressed debug sections for most tools. * bfd: for addr2line, objdump --dwarf, gdb, etc * gas: support --compress-debug-sections=zstd * ld: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input and --compress-debug-sections=zstd * objcopy: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input for --decompress-debug-sections and --compress-debug-sections=zstd * gdb: support ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input. The bfd change references zstd symbols, so gdb has to link against -lzstd in this patch. If zstd is not supported, ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD input triggers an error. We can avoid HAVE_ZSTD if binutils-gdb imports zstd/ like zlib/, but this is too heavyweight, so don't do it for now. ``` % ld/ld-new a.o ld/ld-new: a.o: section .debug_abbrev is compressed with zstd, but BFD is not built with zstd support ... % ld/ld-new a.o --compress-debug-sections=zstd ld/ld-new: --compress-debug-sections=zstd: ld is not built with zstd support % binutils/objcopy --compress-debug-sections=zstd a.o b.o binutils/objcopy: --compress-debug-sections=zstd: binutils is not built with zstd support % binutils/objcopy b.o --decompress-debug-sections binutils/objcopy: zstd.o: section .debug_abbrev is compressed with zstd, but BFD is not built with zstd support ... ```
2022-08-26gdb, gdbsupport: configure: factor out yes/no/auto value checkingSimon Marchi1-38/+58
Factor out the code that checks that a value is yes/no or yes/no/auto. Add two macros to gdbsupport/common.m4 and use them in gdb/configure.ac I inspected the changes to configure. Other than whitespace changes, we have some benign changes to the error messages (one of them had an error actually). There are changes to the --enable-source-highlight and --enable-libbacktrace handling, but setting enable_source_highlight / enable_libbacktrace was not really useful anyway, they already had the right value.

2022-07-18gdb/python: look for python, then python 3 at configure timeAndrew Burgess1-3/+9
It is possible that a system might have a python3 executable, but no python executable. For example, on my Fedora system the python2 package provides /usr/bin/python2, the python3 package provides /usr/bin/python3, and the python-unversioned-command package provides /usr/bin/python, which picks between python2 and python3. It is quite possible to only have python3 available on a system. Currently, when GDB configures, it looks for a 'python' executable. If non is found then GDB will be built without python support. Or the user needs to configure using --with-python=/usr/bin/python3. This commit updates GDB's configure.ac script to first look for 'python', and then 'python3'. Now, on a system that only has a python3 executable, GDB will automatically find, and use that in order to provide python support, no user supplied configure arguments are needed. I've tested this on my local machine by removing the python-unversioned-command package, confirming that there is no longer a 'python' executable in my $PATH, and then rebuilding GDB from scratch. GDB with this patch has python support.

2022-04-15Remove WITH_SIM defineTom Tromey1-3/+0
Since score-tdep.c was removed, the WITH_SIM define is not used in gdb. This patch removes it. Note that re-running autoheader shows a separate change that was missed. I've kept it in this patch to avoid extra work.
2022-04-14Let std::thread check pass even without pthreadsTom Tromey1-10/+9
Currently, the configure check for std::thread relies on pthreads existing. However, this means that if std::thread is implemented for a non-pthreads host, then the check will yield the wrong answer. This happened in AdaCore internal builds. Here, we have this GCC patch: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2019-06/msg01840.html ... which adds mingw support to GCC's gthreads implementation, and also to std::thread. This configure change fixes this problem and enables threading for gdb.
2022-03-23gdb/python: remove Python 2 supportSimon Marchi1-74/+4
New in this version: - Add a PY_MAJOR_VERSION check in configure.ac / AC_TRY_LIBPYTHON. If the user passes --with-python=python2, this will cause a configure failure saying that GDB only supports Python 3. Support for Python 2 is a maintenance burden for any patches touching Python support. Among others, the differences between Python 2 and 3 string and integer types are subtle. It requires a lot of effort and thinking to get something that behaves correctly on both. And that's if the author and reviewer of the patch even remember to test with Python 2. See this thread for an example: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-December/184260.html So, remove Python 2 support. Update the documentation to state that GDB can be built against Python 3 (as opposed to Python 2 or 3). Update all the spots that use: - sys.version_info - IS_PY3K - PY_MAJOR_VERSION - gdb_py_is_py3k ... to only keep the Python 3 portions and drop the use of some now-removed compatibility macros. I did not update the configure script more than just removing the explicit references to Python 2. We could maybe do more there, like check the Python version and reject it if that version is not supported. Otherwise (with this patch), things will only fail at compile time, so it won't really be clear to the user that they are trying to use an unsupported Python version. But I'm a bit lost in the configure code that checks for Python, so I kept that for later. Change-Id: I75b0f79c148afbe3c07ac664cfa9cade052c0c62
2022-03-02configure: Stop checking for PT_GETXMMREGS.John Baldwin1-37/+0

2022-02-22gdb: fix detection of compilation and linking flags for source-highlightRuslan Kabatsayev1-6/+6
Currently there are two problems with the detection of source-highlight via pkg-config in GDB's configure script: 1. The LDFLAGS variable is used to pass the 'pkg-config --libs' output to AC_LINK_IFELSE, which results in the "-L/some/path -lsource-highlight" preceding the conftest.cpp, which can result in a failure to find symbols referenced in conftest.cpp, if the linker is using --as-needed by default. 2. The CFLAGS variable is used to pass the 'pkg-config --cflags' output to AC_LINK_IFELSE. However, as the current language is C++, AC_LINK_IFELSE will actuall use CXXFLAGS, not CFLAGS, so any flags returned from pkg-config will not be seen. This patch fixes both of these mistakes, allowing GDB to correctly configure and build using source-highlight installed into a custom prefix, e.g. ~/opt/gdb-git (because the system version of source-highlight is too old).
2022-01-13gdb: don't use -Wmissing-prototypes with g++Andrew Burgess1-1/+65
This commit aims to not make use of -Wmissing-prototypes when compiling with g++. Use of -Wmissing-prototypes was added with this commit: commit a0761e34f054767de6d6389929d27e9015fb299b Date: Wed Mar 11 15:15:12 2020 -0400 gdb: enable -Wmissing-prototypes warning Because clang can provide helpful warnings with this flag. Unfortunately, g++ doesn't accept this flag, and will give this warning: cc1plus: warning: command line option ‘-Wmissing-prototypes’ is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ In theory the fact that this flag is not supported should be detected by the configure check in gdbsupport/warning.m4, but for users of ccache, this check doesn't work due to a long standing ccache issue: https://github.com/ccache/ccache/issues/738 The ccache problem is that -W... options are reordered on the command line, and so -Wmissing-prototypes is seen before -Werror. Usually this doesn't matter, but the above warning (about the flag not being valid) is issued before the -Werror flag is processed, and so is not fatal. There have been two previous attempts to fix this that I'm aware of. The first is: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-September/182148.html In this attempt, instead of just relying on a compile to check if a flag is valid, the proposal was to both compile and link. As linking doesn't go through ccache, we don't suffer from the argument reordering problem, and the link phase will correctly fail when using -Wmissing-prototypes with g++. The configure script will then disable the use of this flag. This approach was rejected, and the suggestion was to only add the -Wmissing-prototypes flag if we are compiling with gcc. The second attempt, attempts this approach, and can be found here: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-November/183076.html This attempt only adds the -Wmissing-prototypes flag is the value of GCC is not 'yes'. This feels like it is doing the right thing, unfortunately, the GCC flag is really a 'is gcc like' flag, not a strict, is gcc check. As such, GCC is set to 'yes' for clang, which would mean the flag was not included for clang or gcc. The entire point of the original commit was to add this flag for clang, so clearly the second attempt is not sufficient either. In this new attempt I have added gdbsupport/compiler-type.m4, this file defines AM_GDB_COMPILER_TYPE. This macro sets the variable GDB_COMPILER_TYPE to either 'gcc', 'clang', or 'unknown'. In future the list of values might be extended to cover other compilers, if this is ever useful. I've then modified gdbsupport/warning.m4 to only add the problematic -Wmissing-prototypes flag if GDB_COMPILER_TYPE is not 'gcc'. I've tested this with both gcc and clang and see the expected results, gcc no longer attempts to use the -Wmissing-prototypes flag, while clang continues to use it. When compiling using ccache, I am no longer seeing the warning.
2022-01-01unify 64-bit bfd checksMike Frysinger1-56/+67
Move the 64-bit bfd logic out of bfd/configure.ac and into bfd64.m4 under config so it can be shared between all the other subdirs. This replaces want64 with enable_64_bit_bfd which was already being declared, but not used directly.
2021-12-15New --enable-threading configure option to control use of threads in ↵Luis Machado1-1/+23
GDB/GDBserver Add the --enable-threading configure option so multithreading can be disabled at configure time. This is useful for statically-linked builds of GDB/GDBserver, since the thread library doesn't play well with that setup. If you try to run a statically-linked GDB built with threading, it will crash when setting up the number of worker threads. This new option is also convenient when debugging GDB in a system with lots of threads, where the thread discovery code in GDB will emit too many messages, like so: [New Thread 0xfffff74d3a50 (LWP 2625599)] If you have X threads, that message will be repeated X times. The default for --enable-threading is "yes".

2021-11-20[gdb/build] Check if libsource-highlight is usableTom de Vries1-49/+109
When building gdb with g++ 4.8.5, I ran into: ... ld: source-cache.o: in function `source_cache::ensure(symtab*)': source-cache.c:207: undefined reference to \ srchilite::SourceHighlight::SourceHighlight(std::string const&) ... [ I configured gdb without explicit settings related to source-highlight, so we're excercising the enable_source_highlight=auto scenario. ] The problem is that: - the source-highlight library is build with system compiler g++ 7.5.0 which uses the new libstdc++ library abi (see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html ) - gdb is build using g++ 4.8.5 which uses the old abi. [ There's a compatibility macro _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI, but that doesn't work for this case. Instead, it enables the opposite case where the source-highlight library is build with g++ 4.8.5 and gdb is build with g++ 7.5.0. ] Fix this by checking whether the source-highlight library is usable during configuration. In the enable_source_highlight=auto scenario, this allows the build to skip the unusable library and finish successfully. In the enable_source_highlight=yes scenario, this allows the build to error out earlier. Tested on x86_64-linux.
2021-11-09Fix build on rhES5Tom Tromey1-0/+16
The rhES5 build failed due to an upstream import a while back. The bug here is that, while the 'personality' function exists, ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE is only defined in <linux/personality.h>, not <sys/personality.h>. However, <linux/personality.h> does not declare the 'personality' function, and <sys/personality.h> and <linux/personality.h> cannot both be included. This patch restores one of the removed configure checks and updates the code to check it. We had this as a local patch at AdaCore, because it seemed like there was no interest upstream. However, now it turns out that this fixes PR build/28555, so I'm sending it now.

The format_pieces selftest currently fails on Windows hosts. The selftest doesn't handle the "%ll" -> "%I64" rewrite that the formatter may perform, but also gdbsupport was missing a configure check for PRINTF_HAS_LONG_LONG. This patch fixes both issues.
2021-10-04[gdb/build] Add CXX_DIALECT to CXXTom de Vries1-0/+8
Say we use a gcc version that (while supporting c++11) does not support c++11 by default, and needs an -std setting to enable it. If gdb would use the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive, then we'd have: ... CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11" ... That mechanism however has the following problem (quoting from commit 0bcda685399): ... the top level Makefile passes CXX down to subdirs, and that overrides whatever gdb/Makefile may set CXX to. The result would be that a make invocation from the build/gdb/ directory would use "g++ -std=gnu++11" as expected, while a make invocation at the top level would not. ... Commit 0bcda685399 fixes this by using a custom AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX which does: ... CXX=g++ CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11 ... The problem reported in PR28318 is that using the custom instead of the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX makes the configure test for std::thread support fail. We could simply add $CXX_DIALECT to the test for std::thread support, but that would have to be repeated for each added c++ support test. Instead, fix this by doing: ... CXX="g++ -std=gnu++11" CXX_DIALECT=-std=gnu++11 ... This is somewhat awkward, since it results in -std=gnu++11 occuring twice in some situations: ... $ touch src/gdb/dwarf2/read.c $ ( cd build/gdb; make V=1 dwarf2/read.o ) g++-4.8 -std=gnu++11 -x c++ -std=gnu++11 ... ... However, both settings are needed: - the switch in CXX for the std::thread tests (and other tests) - the switch in CXX_DIALECT so it can be appended in Makefiles, to counteract the fact that the top-level Makefile overrides CXX The code added in gdb/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 is copied from the default AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX from autoconf-archive. Tested on x86_64-linux. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28318
2021-09-28gdb: use libbacktrace to create a better backtrace for fatal signalsAndrew Burgess1-0/+32
GDB recently gained the ability to print a backtrace when a fatal signal is encountered. This backtrace is produced using the backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd API available in glibc. However, in order for this API to actually map addresses to symbol names it is required that the application (GDB) be compiled with -rdynamic, which GDB is not by default. As a result, the backtrace produced often looks like this: Fatal signal: Bus error ----- Backtrace ----- ./gdb/gdb[0x80ec00] ./gdb/gdb[0x80ed56] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3c6b0)[0x7fc2ce1936b0] /lib64/libc.so.6(__poll+0x4f)[0x7fc2ce24da5f] ./gdb/gdb[0x15495ba] ./gdb/gdb[0x15489b8] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b794d] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b7a6d] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b943b] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b94a1] ./gdb/gdb[0x4175dd] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf3)[0x7fc2ce17e1a3] ./gdb/gdb[0x4174de] --------------------- This is OK if you have access to the exact same build of GDB, you can manually map the addresses back to symbols, however, it is next to useless if all you have is a backtrace copied into a bug report. GCC uses libbacktrace for printing a backtrace when it encounters an error. In recent commits I added this library into the binutils-gdb repository, and in this commit I allow this library to be used by GDB. Now (when GDB is compiled with debug information) the backtrace looks like this: ----- Backtrace ----- 0x80ee08 gdb_internal_backtrace ../../src/gdb/event-top.c:989 0x80ef0b handle_fatal_signal ../../src/gdb/event-top.c:1036 0x7f24539dd6af ??? 0x7f2453a97a5f ??? 0x154976f gdb_wait_for_event ../../src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:613 0x1548b6d _Z16gdb_do_one_eventv ../../src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:237 0x9b7b02 start_event_loop ../../src/gdb/main.c:421 0x9b7c22 captured_command_loop ../../src/gdb/main.c:481 0x9b95f0 captured_main ../../src/gdb/main.c:1353 0x9b9656 _Z8gdb_mainP18captured_main_args ../../src/gdb/main.c:1368 0x4175ec main ../../src/gdb/gdb.c:32 --------------------- Which seems much more useful. Use of libbacktrace is optional. If GDB is configured with --disable-libbacktrace then the libbacktrace directory will not be built, and GDB will not try to use this library. In this case GDB would try to use the old backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd API. All of the functions related to writing the backtrace of GDB itself have been moved into the new files gdb/by-utils.{c,h}.
2021-08-11gdb: print backtrace on fatal SIGSEGVAndrew Burgess1-0/+51
This commit adds a new maintenance feature, the ability to print a (limited) backtrace if GDB dies due to a fatal signal. The backtrace is produced using the backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd functions which are declared in the execinfo.h header, and both of which are async signal safe. A configure check has been added to check for these features, if they are not available then the new code is not compiled into GDB and the backtrace will not be printed. The motivation for this new feature is to aid in debugging GDB in situations where GDB has crashed at a users site, but the user is reluctant to share core files, possibly due to concerns about what might be in the memory image within the core file. Such a user might be happy to share a simple backtrace that was written to stderr. The production of the backtrace is on by default, but can switched off using the new commands: maintenance set backtrace-on-fatal-signal on|off maintenance show backtrace-on-fatal-signal Right now, I have hooked this feature in to GDB's existing handling of SIGSEGV only, but this will be extended to more signals in a later commit. One additional change I have made in this commit is that, when we decide GDB should terminate due to the fatal signal, we now raise the same fatal signal rather than raising SIGABRT. Currently, this is only effecting our handling of SIGSEGV. So, previously, if GDB hit a SEGV then we would terminate GDB with a SIGABRT. After this commit we will terminate GDB with a SIGSEGV. This feels like an improvement to me, we should still get a core dump, but in many shells, the user will see a more specific message once GDB exits, in bash for example "Segmentation fault" rather than "Aborted". Finally then, here is an example of the output a user would see if GDB should hit an internal SIGSEGV: Fatal signal: Segmentation fault ----- Backtrace ----- ./gdb/gdb[0x8078e6] ./gdb/gdb[0x807b20] /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0x14b20)[0x7f6648c92b20] /lib64/libc.so.6(__poll+0x4f)[0x7f66484d3a5f] ./gdb/gdb[0x1540f4c] ./gdb/gdb[0x154034a] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b002d] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b014d] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b1aa6] ./gdb/gdb[0x9b1b0c] ./gdb/gdb[0x41756d] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf3)[0x7f66484041a3] ./gdb/gdb[0x41746e] --------------------- A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging is not possible. GDB will now terminate. This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see: <https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>. Segmentation fault (core dumped) It is disappointing that backtrace_symbols_fd does not actually map the addresses back to symbols, this appears, in part, to be due to GDB not being built with -rdynamic as the manual page for backtrace_symbols_fd suggests, however, even when I do add -rdynamic to the build of GDB I only see symbols for some addresses. We could potentially look at alternative libraries to provide the backtrace (e.g. libunwind) however, the solution presented here, which is available as part of glibc is probably a good baseline from which we might improve things in future.
2021-07-06gdb/testsuite: restore configure scriptSimon Marchi1-82/+6
Commit f99d1d37496f ("Remove gdb/testsuite/configure") removed gdb/testsuite/configure, as anything gdb/testsuite/configure did could be done by gdb/configure. There is however one use case that popped up when this changed propagated to downstream consumers, to run the testsuite on an already built GDB. In the workflow of ROCm-GDB at AMD, a GDB package is built in a CI job. This GDB package is then tested on different machines / hardware configurations as part of other CI jobs. To achieve this, those CI jobs only configure the testsuite directory and run "make check" with an appropriate board file. In light of this use case, the way I see it is that gdb/testsuite could be considered its own project. It could be stored in a completely different repo if we want to, it just happens to be stored inside gdb/. Since the only downside of having gdb/testsuite/configure is that it takes a few more seconds to run, but on the other hand it's quite useful for some people, I propose re-adding it. In a sense, this is revert of f99d1d37496f, but it's not a direct git-revert, as some things have changed since. gdb/ChangeLog: * configure.ac: Remove things that were moved from testsuite/configure.ac. * configure: Re-generate. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * configure.ac: Restore. * configure: Re-generate. * aclocal.m4: Re-generate. * Makefile.in (distclean): Add config.status.

2021-06-01Remove gdb/testsuite/configureTom Tromey1-7/+81
I didn't see a strong reason to have a separate configure script in gdb/testsuite, so this patch removes it. The few relevant configury bits are moved into gdb's configure script. Some of the old testsuite/configure script (e.g., the header check) is dead code. This also adds a Makefile rule to rebuild lib/pdtrace. This was missing from the old code. 'read1' is now a dependency of check-read1, rather than extra code at configure time. Finally, the old "ENABLE_LIBCTF" subst in gdb/configure was not used; nor was the variable defined, so this was always empty. However, the lower-case variant was used by the testsuite, so this patch renames the subst. gdb/ChangeLog 2021-06-01 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * configure.ac: Copy some code from testsuite/configure.ac.

2021-05-08Don't run personality syscall at configure time; don't check it at allPedro Alves1-74/+0
Currently, in order to tell whether support for disabling address space randomization on Linux is available, GDB checks if the personality syscall works, at configure time. I.e., it does a run test, instead of a compile/link test: AC_RUN_IFELSE([PERSONALITY_TEST], [have_personality=true], [have_personality=false], This is a bit bogus, because the machine the build is done on may not (and is when you consider distro gdbs) be the machine that eventually runs gdb. It would be better if this were a compile/link test instead, and then at runtime, GDB coped with the personality syscall failing. Actually, GDB already copes. One environment where this is problematic is building GDB in a Docker container -- by default, Docker runs the container with seccomp, with a profile that disables the personality syscall. You can tell Docker to use a less restricted seccomp profile, but I think we should just fix it in GDB. "man 2 personality" says: This system call first appeared in Linux 1.1.20 (and thus first in a stable kernel release with Linux 1.2.0); library support was added in glibc 2.3. ... ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE (since Linux 2.6.12) With this flag set, disable address-space-layout randomization. glibc 2.3 was released in 2002. Linux 2.6.12 was released in 2005. The original patch that added the configure checks was submitted in 2008. The first version of the patch that was submitted to the list called personality from common code: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058204.html and then was moved to Linux-specific code: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058209.html Since HAVE_PERSONALITY is only checked in Linux code, and ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE exists for over 15 years, I propose just completely removing the configure checks. If for some odd reason, some remotely modern system still needs a configure check, then we can revert this commit but drop the AC_RUN_IFELSE in favor of always doing the AC_LINK_IFELSE cross-compile fallback. gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_target::supports_disable_randomization): Remove references to HAVE_PERSONALITY. * nat/linux-personality.c: Remove references to HAVE_PERSONALITY.

2021-04-21[gdb/build] Hardcode --with-included-regexTom de Vries1-59/+0
Currently gdb has a configure option: ... $ ./src/gdb/configure --help ... --without-included-regex don't use included regex; this is the default on systems with version 2 of the GNU C library (use with caution on other system) ... The configure option controls config.h macro USE_INCLUDED_REGEX, which is used in gdb/gdb_regex.h to choose between: - using regex from libiberty (which is included in the binutils-gdb.git repo, hence the 'included' in USE_INCLUDED_REGEX), or - using regex.h. In the former case, the symbol regcomp is remapped to a symbol xregcomp, which is then provided by libiberty. In the latter case, the symbol regcomp is resolved at runtime, usually binding to libc. However, there is no mechanism in place to enforce this. PR27681 is an example of where that causes problems. On openSUSE Tumbleweed, the ncurses package got the --with-pcre2 configure switch enabled, and solved the resulting dependencies using: ... $ cat /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so /* GNU ld script */ -INPUT(/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 AS_NEEDED(-ltinfo -ldl)) +INPUT(/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 AS_NEEDED(-ltinfo -ldl -lpcre2-posix -lpcre2-8)) ... This lead to regcomp being bound to libpcre2-posix instead of libc. This causes problems in several ways: - by compiling using regex.h, we've already chosen a specific regex_t implementation, and the one from pcre2-posix is not the same. - in gdb_regex.c we use GNU regex function re_search, which pcre2-posix doesn't provide, so while regcomp binds to pcre2-posix, re_search binds to libc. A note on the latter: it's actually a bug to compile a regex using regcomp and then pass it to re_search. The GNU regex interface requires one to use re_compile_pattern or re_compile_fastmap. But as long we're using one of the GNU regex incarnations in gnulib, glibc or libiberty, we get away with this. The PR could be fixed by adding -lc in a specific position in the link line, to force regcomp to be bound to glibc. But this solution was considered in the discussion in the PR as being brittle, and possibly causing problems elsewhere. Another solution offered was to restrict regex usage to posix, and no longer use the GNU regex API. This however could mean having to reproduce some of that functionality locally, which would mean maintaining the same functionality in more than one place. The solution chosen here, is to hardcode --with-included-regex, that is, using libiberty. The option of using glibc for regex was introduced because glibc became the authorative source for GNU regex, so it offered the possibility to link against a more up-to-date regex version. In that aspect, this patch is a step back. But we have the option of using a more up-to-date regex version as a follow-up step: by using the regex from gnulib. Tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/ChangeLog: 2021-04-21 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> PR build/27681 * configure.ac: Remove --without-included-regex/--with-included-regex. * config.in: Regenerate. * configure: Regenerate. * gdb_regex.h: Assume USE_INCLUDED_REGEX is defined.
2021-04-15gdb: process early initialization files and command line optionsAndrew Burgess1-0/+6
Adds the ability to process commands at a new phase during GDB's startup. This phase is earlier than the current initialisation file processing, before GDB has produced any output. The number of commands that can be processed at this early stage will be limited, and it is expected that the only commands that would be processed at this stage will relate to some of the fundamentals of how GDB starts up. Currently the only commands that it makes sense to add to this early initialization file are those like 'set style version ....' as the version string is displayed during startup before the standard initialization files are parsed. As such this commit fully resolved bug cli/25956. This commit adds a mechanism to execute these early initialization files from a users HOME directory, as well as some corresponding command line flags for GDB. The early initialization files that GDB will currently check for are ~/.config/gdb/gdbearlyinit (on Linux like systems) or ~/.gdbearlyinit if the former is not found. The output of 'gdb --help' has been extended to include a list of the early initialization files being processed. gdb/ChangeLog: PR cli/25956 * NEWS: Mention new early init files and command line options. * config.in: Regenerate. * configure: Regenerate. * configure.ac: Define GDBEARLYINIT. * main.c (get_earlyinit_files): New function.

2021-03-05gdb/riscv: introduce bare metal core dump supportAndrew Burgess1-1/+2
This commit adds the ability for bare metal RISC-V target to generate core files from within GDB. The intended use case is that a user will connect to a remote bare metal target, debug up to some error condition, then generate a core file in the normal way using: (gdb) generate-core-file This core file can then be used to revisit the state of the remote target without having to reconnect to the remote target. The core file creation code is split between two new files. In elf-none-tdep.c is code for any architecture with the none ABI (i.e. bare metal) when the BFD library is built with ELF support. In riscv-none-tdep.c are the RISC-V specific parts. This is where the regset and regcache_map_entry structures are defined that control how registers are laid out in the core file. As this file could (in theory at least) be used for a non-ELF bare metal RISC-V target, the calls into elf-none-tdep.c are guarded with '#ifdef HAVE_ELF'. Currently for RISC-V only the x-regs and f-regs (if present) are written out. In future commits I plan to add support for writing out the RISC-V CSRs. The core dump format is based around generating an ELF containing sections for the writable regions of memory that a user could be using. Which regions are dumped rely on GDB's existing common core dumping code, GDB will attempt to figure out the stack and heap as well as copying out writable data sections as identified by the original ELF. Register information is added to the core dump using notes, just as it is for Linux of FreeBSD core dumps. The note types used consist of the 3 basic types you would expect in a OS based core dump, NT_PRPSINFO, NT_PRSTATUS, NT_FPREGSET. The layout of these notes differs slightly (due to field sizes) between RV32 and RV64. Below I describe the data layout for each note. In all cases, all padding fields should be set to zero. Note NT_PRPSINFO is optional. Its data layout is: struct prpsinfo32_t /* For RV32. */ { uint8_t padding[32]; char fname[16]; char psargs[80]; } struct prpsinfo64_t /* For RV64. */ { uint8_t padding[40]; char fname[16]; char psargs[80]; } Field 'fname' - null terminated string consisting of the basename of (up to the fist 15 characters of) the executable. Any additional space should be set to zero. If there's no executable name then this field can be set to all zero. Field 'psargs' - a null terminated string up to 80 characters in length. Any additional space should be filled with zero. This field contains the full executable path and any arguments passed to the executable. If there's nothing sensible to write in this field then fill it with zero. Note NT_PRSTATUS is required, its data layout is: struct prstatus32_t /* For RV32. */ { uint8_t padding_1[12]; uint16_t sig; uint8_t padding_2[10]; uint32_t thread_id; uint8_t padding_3[44]; uint32_t x_regs[32]; uint8_t padding_4[4]; } struct prstatus64_t /* For RV64. */ { uint8_t padding_1[12]; uint16_t sig; uint8_t padding_2[18]; uint32_t thread_id; uint8_t padding_3[76]; uint64_t x_regs[32]; uint8_t padding_4[4]; } Field 'sig' - the signal that stopped this thread. It's implementation defined what this field actually means. Within GDB this will be the signal number that the remote target reports as the stop reason for this thread. Field 'thread_is' - the thread id for this thread. It's implementation defined what this field actually means. Within GDB this will be thread thread-id that is assigned to each remote thread. Field 'x_regs' - at index 0 we store the program counter, and at indices 1 to 31 we store x-registers 1 to 31. x-register 0 is not stored, its value is always zero anyway. Note NT_FPREGSET is optional, its data layout is: fpregset32_t /* For targets with 'F' extension. */ { uint32_t f_regs[32]; uint32_t fcsr; } fpregset64_t /* For targets with 'D' extension . */ { uint64_t f_regs[32]; uint32_t fcsr; } Field 'f_regs' - stores f-registers 0 to 31. Field 'fcsr' - stores the fcsr CSR register, and is always 4-bytes. The rules for ordering the notes is the same as for Linux. The NT_PRSTATUS note must come before any other notes about additional register sets. And for multi-threaded targets all registers for a single thread should be grouped together. This is because only NT_PRSTATUS includes a thread-id, all additional register notes after a NT_PRSTATUS are assumed to belong to the same thread until a different NT_PRSTATUS is seen. gdb/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in (ALL_TARGET_OBS): Add riscv-none-tdep.o.

2021-03-05gdb: unify parts of the Linux and FreeBSD core dumping codeAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
While reviewing the Linux and FreeBSD core dumping code within GDB for another patch series, I noticed that the code that collects the registers for each thread and writes these into ELF note format is basically identical between Linux and FreeBSD. This commit merges this code and moves it into a new file gcore-elf.c. The function find_signalled_thread is moved from linux-tdep.c to gcore.c despite not being shared. A later commit will make use of this function. I did merge, and then revert a previous version of this patch (commit 82a1fd3a4935 for the original patch and 03642b7189bc for the revert). The problem with the original patch is that it introduced a unconditional dependency between GDB and some ELF specific functions in the BFD library, e.g. elfcore_write_prstatus and elfcore_write_register_note. It was pointed out in this mailing list post: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-February/175750.html that this change was breaking any build of GDB for non-ELF targets. To confirm this breakage, and to test this new version of GDB I configured and built for the target x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0. Where the previous version of this patch placed all of the common code into gcore.c, which is included in all builds of GDB, this new patch only places non-ELF specific generic code (i.e. find_signalled_thread) into gcore.c, the ELF specific code is put into the new gcore-elf.c file, which is only included in GDB if BFD has ELF support. The contents of gcore-elf.c are referenced unconditionally from linux-tdep.c and fbsd-tdep.c, this is fine, we previously always assumed that these two targets required ELF support, and we continue to make that assumption after this patch; nothing has changed there. With my previous version of this patch the darwin target mentioned above failed to build, but with the new version, the target builds fine. There are a couple of minor changes to the FreeBSD target after this commit, but I believe that these are changes for the better: (1) For FreeBSD we always used to record the thread-id in the core file by using ptid_t.lwp (). In contrast the Linux code did this: /* For remote targets the LWP may not be available, so use the TID. */ long lwp = ptid.lwp (); if (lwp == 0) lwp = ptid.tid (); Both target now do this: /* The LWP is often not available for bare metal target, in which case use the tid instead. */ if (ptid.lwp_p ()) lwp = ptid.lwp (); else lwp = ptid.tid (); Which is equivalent for Linux, but is a change for FreeBSD. I think that all this means is that in some cases where GDB might have previously recorded a thread-id of 0 for each thread, we might now get something more useful. (2) When collecting the registers for Linux we collected into a zero initialised buffer. By contrast on FreeBSD the buffer is left uninitialised. In the new code the buffer is always zero initialised. I suspect once the registers are copied into the buffer there's probably no gaps left so this makes no difference, but if it does then using zeros rather than random bits of GDB's memory is probably a good thing. Otherwise, there should be no other user visible changes after this commit. Tested this on x86-64/GNU-Linux and x86-64/FreeBSD-12.2 with no regressions. gdb/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in (SFILES): Add gcore-elf.c.

Change the import test to use ctypes which is a dynamic module in both python 2 and 3. gdb/ChangeLog: PR python/26832 * configure: Regenerate. * configure.ac: Check for python modules ctypes instead of itertools.

2020-10-31gdbsupport: re-indent ptrace.m4Simon Marchi1-27/+28
For some reason, autoupdate isn't able to grok ptrace.m4: $ autoupdate ptrace.m4 /usr/bin/m4:/tmp/auYjuodw/input.m4:171: ERROR: end of file in string autoupdate: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 Honestly, I'm unable to grok it either. This patch re-indents it in a way that I think is easier to read. With this patch applied, autoupdate becomes able to parse ptrace.m4, but I chose to keep this re-indent in a patch of its own. All the changes in generated configure files consist of insignificant whitespace changes. gdb/ChangeLog: * configure: Re-generate. gdbserver/ChangeLog: * configure: Re-generate. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: * configure: Re-generate. * ptrace.m4: Re-indent.

Run autoupdate, fix indentation for readability. gdb/ChangeLog: * acinclude.m4: Modernize. * configure: Re-generate. Change-Id: I8949f885326a3206f414776b63a1fdba197bb19a
2020-10-31gdb: modernize configure.acSimon Marchi1-41/+77
Run autoupdate on configure.ac and adjust the indentation of the result for better readability. This removes a bunch of warnings when running `autoreconf -vf -Wall`. The changes are: * Replace AC_INIT with AC_INIT and no arguments plus AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR. * Replace AC_ERROR with AC_MSG_ERROR. * Replace AC_TRY_LINK with AC_LINK_IFELSE. * Replace AC_TRY_COMPILE with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE. * Replace AC_HELP_STRING with AS_HELP_STRING. autoupdate erroneously tries to replace AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE in a comment, which I reverted manually. All the changes in the generated configure file are insignificant whitespaces changes. gdb/ChangeLog: * configure.ac: Modernize. * configure: Re-generate.
