2013-05-23range stepping: gdbPedro Alves2-0/+56
This patch teaches GDB to take advantage of target-assisted range stepping. It adds a new 'r ADDR1,ADDR2' action to vCont (vCont;r), meaning, "step once, and keep stepping as long as the thread is in the [ADDR1,ADDR2) range". Rationale: When user issues the "step" command on the following line of source, a = b + c + d * e - a; GDB single-steps every single instruction until the program reaches a new different line. E.g., on x86_64, that line compiles to: 0x08048434 <+65>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax 0x08048438 <+69>: mov 0x30(%esp),%edx 0x0804843c <+73>: add %eax,%edx 0x0804843e <+75>: mov 0x18(%esp),%eax 0x08048442 <+79>: imul 0x2c(%esp),%eax 0x08048447 <+84>: add %edx,%eax 0x08048449 <+86>: sub 0x34(%esp),%eax 0x0804844d <+90>: mov %eax,0x34(%esp) 0x08048451 <+94>: mov 0x1c(%esp),%eax and the following is the RSP traffic between GDB and GDBserver: --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3c840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:1; --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:3e840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2; --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:42840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:2; --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:47840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0; --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:49840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0; --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:4d840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0; --> vCont;s:p2e13.2e13;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2e13.2e13;core:0; IOW, a lot of roundtrips between GDB and GDBserver. If we add a new command to the RSP, meaning "keep stepping and don't report a stop until the program goes out of the [0x08048434, 0x08048451) address range", then the RSP traffic can be reduced down to: --> vCont;r8048434,8048451:p2db0.2db0;c <-- T0505:68efffbf;04:30efffbf;08:51840408;thread:p2db0.2db0;core:1; As number of packets is reduced dramatically, the performance of stepping source lines is much improved. In case something is wrong with range stepping on the stub side, the debug info or even gdb, this adds a "set/show range-stepping" command to be able to turn range stepping off. gdb/ 2013-05-23 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdbthread.h (struct thread_control_state) <may_range_step>: New field. * infcmd.c (step_once, until_next_command): Enable range stepping. * infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare): Disable range stepping.

2013-04-10Accept "set foo unlimited" in integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands.Pedro Alves2-24/+68
Currently, several commands take "0" or "-1" to mean "unlimited". "show" knows when to print "unlimited": (gdb) show height Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 45. (gdb) set height 0 (gdb) show height Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is unlimited. However, the user can't herself specify "unlimited" directly: (gdb) set height unlimited No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. (gdb) This patch addresses that, by adjusting the set handler for all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands to accept literal "unlimited". It also installs a completer. Presently, we complete on symbols by default, and at <http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-03/msg00864.html> I've shown a WIP prototype that tried to keep that half working in these commands. In the end, it turned out to be more complicated than justifiable, IMO. It's super rare to want to pass the value of a variable/symbol in the program to a GDB set/show knob. That'll still work, it's just that we won't assist with completion anymore. This patch just sticks with the simple, and completes on "unlimited", and nothing else. This simplification means that "set he<tab><tab>" is all it takes to get to: "set height unlimited" The patch then goes through all integer/uinteger/zuinteger_unlimited commands in the tree, and updates both the online help and the manual to mention that "unlimited" is accepted in addition to 0/-1. In the cases where the command had no online help text at all, this adds it. I've tried to make the texts read in a way that "unlimited" is suggested before "0" or "-1" is.

2013-04-02NEWS/manual: Missing documentation for new commands in 7.6.Pedro Alves2-1/+28
I hacked "apropos" to dump the whole set of commands (just make it accept the entry string as regex), and then diffed the output of 7.5 vs 7.6, --enable-targets=all builds. That allowed then checking whether some commands had not been mentioned in NEWS or the manual. These are what I found missing. We've been a bit negligent in requiring documentation bits for debug commands. gdb/ 2013-04-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS: Mention "set/show debug aarch64", "set/show debug coff-pe-read" and "set/show debug mach-o". gdb/doc/ 2013-04-02 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (Debugging Output): Document "set/show debug aarch64", "set/show debug coff-pe-read" and "set/show debug mach-o".

configuration command. GDB currently sends a qTStatus even if the target previously replied an empty packet to a previous qTStatus. If the target doesn't recognize the packet, there's no point in trying again. The machinery we have in place is packet_ok, which has the nice side effect of forcing one to install a configuration command/knob for the packet in question, which is often handy when you need to debug things, and/or emulate a target that doesn't support the packet, or even, it can be used as workaround for the old broken kgdb's that return error to qTSTatus instead of an empty packet. gdb/ 2013-03-28 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS (New options): New section.

2013-03-28Fix PR gdb/15294: list with unlimited listsize brokenPedro Alves2-2/+8
Currently, "set listsize -1" is supposed to mean "unlimited" source lines, but, alas, it doesn't actually work: (gdb) set listsize -1 (gdb) show listsize Number of source lines gdb will list by default is unlimited. (gdb) list 1 (gdb) list 1 (gdb) list 1 (gdb) set listsize 10 (gdb) list 1 1 /* Main function for CLI gdb. 2 Copyright (C) 2002-2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 3 4 This file is part of GDB. 5 6 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 7 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 8 the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or 9 (at your option) any later version. 10 Before this patch: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-08/msg00367.html was applied, the "set listsize" command was a var_integer command, and "unlimited" was set with 0. Internally, var_integer maps 0 to INT_MAX case var_integer: { ... if (val == 0 && c->var_type == var_integer) val = INT_MAX; The change in that patch to zuinteger_unlimited command, meant that -1 is left as -1 in the command's control variable (lines_to_list), and the code in source.c isn't expecting that -- it only expects positive numbers. I previously suggested fixing the code and keeping the new behavior, but I found that "set listsize 0" is currently used in the wild, and we do have a bunch of other commands where "0" means unlimited, so I'm thinking that changing this command alone in isolation is not a good idea. So I now strongly prefer reverting back the behavior in 7.6 to the same behavior the command has had since 2006 (0==unlimited, -1=error). Before that, set listsize -1 would be accepted as unlimited as well. After 7.6 is out, in mainline, we can get back to reconsidering changing this command's behavior, if there's a real need for being able to suppress output. For now, let's play it safe. The "list line 1 with unlimited listsize" test in list.exp was originally written years and years ago expecting 0 to mean "no output", but GDB never actually worked that way, even when the tests were written, so the tests had been xfailed then. This patch now adjusts the test to the new behavior, so that the test actually passes, and the xfail is removed. gdb/ 2013-03-28 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/15294 * source.c (_initialize_source): Change back "set listsize" to an integer command. gdb/testsuite/ 2013-03-28 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/15294 * gdb.base/list.exp (set_listsize): Adjust to accept $arg == 0 to mean unlimited instead of $arg < 0.
