2015-08-24gdb manual: Remove references to deleted targetsPedro Alves2-398/+16
Support for target dbug/picobug/dink32/m32r/mon2000/ppcbug was just removed, but support for ARM RDI, Sparclet, Sparclite, Z8000, target r3900, target array, target sds, target op50n and target w89k had already been removed many years ago. Drop it all in one go. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2015-08-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.texinfo (Embedded Processors) <ARM>: Remove references to RDI. <M32R>: Remove references to M32R/D. <M68K>: Remove references to target dbug. <MIPS Embedded>: Remove references to target r3900 and target array. <PowerPC Embedded>: Remove references to target dink32 and target ppcbug, target sds <PA, Sparclet, Sparclite, Z8000>: Delete nodes.
2015-08-18gdb/doc: Fix build of 'info' manual.Andrew Burgess2-0/+5
In commit 18989b3c5642e2ba533e02737797dcf06134229b I broke the creation of gdb's info manual; I added a new section without adding a suitable menu entry. This commit adds the missing menu entry and fixes the build of gdb's info manual. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB Files): Add 'File Caching' menu entry.
2015-08-18gdb: Add debug tracing for bfd cache activity.Andrew Burgess2-0/+14

2015-08-14New /s modifier for the disassemble command.Doug Evans2-9/+118
The "source centric" /m option to the disassemble command is often unhelpful, e.g., in the presence of optimized code. This patch adds a /s modifier that is better. For one, /m only prints instructions from the originating source file, leaving out instructions from e.g., inlined functions from other files. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/11833 * NEWS: Document new /s modifier for the disassemble command. * cli/cli-cmds.c (disassemble_command): Add support for /s.

2015-08-07Implement all-stop on top of a target running non-stop modePedro Alves2-0/+29
This finally implements user-visible all-stop mode running with the target_ops backend always in non-stop mode. This is a stepping stone towards finer-grained control of threads, being able to do interesting things like thread groups, associating groups with breakpoints, etc. From the user's perspective, all-stop mode is really just a special case of being able to stop and resume specific sets of threads, so it makes sense to do this step first. With this, even in all-stop, the target is no longer in charge of stopping all threads before reporting an event to the core -- the core takes care of it when it sees fit. For example, when "next"- or "step"-ing, we can avoid stopping and resuming all threads at each internal single-step, and instead only stop all threads when we're about to present the stop to the user. The implementation is almost straight forward, as the heavy lifting has been done already in previous patches. Basically, we replace checks for "set non-stop on/off" (the non_stop global), with calls to a new target_is_non_stop_p function. In a few places, if "set non-stop off", we stop all threads explicitly, and in a few other places we resume all threads explicitly, making use of existing methods that were added for teaching non-stop to step over breakpoints without displaced stepping. This adds a new "maint set target-non-stop on/off/auto" knob that allows both disabling the feature if we find problems, and force-enable it for development (useful when teaching a target about this. The default is "auto", which means the feature is enabled if a new target method says it should be enabled. The patch implements the method in linux-nat.c, just for illustration, because it still returns false. We'll need a few follow up fixes before turning it on by default. This is a separate target method from indicating regular non-stop support, because e.g., while e.g., native linux-nat.c is close to regression free with all-stop-non-stop (with following patches will fixing the remaining regressions), remote.c+gdbserver will still need more fixing, even though it supports "set non-stop on". Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, with and without "set displaced off", and with and without "maint set target-non-stop on"; and also against gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * NEWS: Mention "maint set/show target-non-stop". * breakpoint.c (update_global_location_list): Check target_is_non_stop_p instead of non_stop. * infcmd.c (attach_command_post_wait, attach_command): Likewise. * infrun.c (show_can_use_displaced_stepping) (can_use_displaced_stepping_p, start_step_over_inferior): Likewise.

2015-08-07btrace: indicate speculative executionMarkus Metzger2-2/+13
Indicate speculatively executed instructions with a leading '?'. We use the space that is normally used for the PC prefix. In the case where the instruction at the current PC had been executed speculatively before, the PC prefix will be partially overwritten resulting in "?> ".

2015-06-26Add option to remove duplicate command history entriesPatrick Palka2-0/+20
This patch implements the new option "history remove-duplicates", which controls the removal of duplicate history entries ("off" by default). The motivation for this option is to be able to reduce the prevalence of basic commands such as "up" and "down" in the history file. These common commands crowd out more unique commands in the history file (when the history file has a fixed size), and they make navigation of the history file via ^P, ^N and ^R more inconvenient. The option takes an integer denoting the number of history entries to look back at for a history entry that is a duplicate of the latest one. "history remove-duplicates 1" is equivalent to bash's ignoredups option, and "history remove-duplicates unlimited" is equivalent to bash's erasedups option. [ I decided to go with this integer approach instead of a tri-state enum because it's slightly more flexible and seemingly more intuitive than leave/erase/ignore. ] gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention the new option "history remove-duplicates". * top.c (history_remove_duplicates): New static variable. (show_history_remove_duplicates): New static function. (gdb_add_history): Conditionally remove duplicate history entries.

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent with the behavior of bash. This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we do nothing. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/16999 * NEWS: Mention new GDBHISTSIZE behavior. * top.c (init_history): For null or out-of-range GDBHISTSIZE, set history size to unlimited. Ignore non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: PR gdb/16999 * gdb.texinfo (Command History): Mention new GDBHISTSIZE behavior. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR gdb/16999 * gdb.base/gdbhistsize-history.exp: New test.
2015-06-17Read $GDBHISTSIZE instead of $HISTSIZEPatrick Palka2-2/+7
The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g. PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment variables with application environment variables. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Mention that GDBHISTSIZE is read instead of HISTSIZE. * top.c (init_history): Read from GDBHISTSIZE instead of HISTSIZE. (init_main): Refer to GDBHISTSIZE instead of HISTSIZE. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Command History): Replace occurrences of HISTSIZE with GDBHISTSIZE. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/gdbinit-history.exp: Replace occurrences of HISTSIZE with GDBHISTSIZE. * gdb.base/readline.exp: Likewise.
2015-06-15Clarify doc about memory read/write and non-8-bits addressable memory unit sizesSimon Marchi3-29/+58
New in v3: * Change RSP documentation as well. The m, M and X packets now use lengths in addressable memory units. New in v2: * Change wording: use byte for 8-bits chunks and addressable memory unit for the unit of data associated to a single address. * Introduce definition of addressable memory unit in the Memory section. This patch modifies the manual to clarify the MI, RSP and Python APIs in regard to reading/writing memory on architectures with addressable memory unit that are not 8 bits. Care is taken to use the word "addressable memory unit" or "memory unit" when referring to one piece of the smallest addressable size on the current architecture and the word "byte" when referring to an 8-bits data piece. For MI, -data-{read,write}-memory are not modified, since they are deprecated. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Data Manipulation): Clarify usage of bytes and memory units for -data-{read,write}-memory-bytes. (Packets): Same for m, M and X packets. * python.texi (Inferiors In Python): Same for read_memory and write_memory.
2015-06-15Allow gdb to find debug symbols file by build-id for PE file format alsoJon Turney2-1/+6
This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id, populated when an ELF or PE BFD is read. gdb is updated to use that, and to use the build-id to find symbols for PE files also. There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file, perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense? On x86_64-pc-cygwin, gdb's sepdebug.exp changes: -# of unsupported tests 1 +# of expected passes 90 I don't seem to get consistent testsuite runs on i686-linux-gnu, but there don't appear to be any regressions. bfd/ChangeLog: 2015-06-10 Jon Turney <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk> * elf-bfd.h : Remove struct elf_build_id. * bfd.c : Add struct bfd_build_id. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate. * elf.c (elfobj_grok_gnu_build_id): Update to use bfd_build_id. * libpei.h: Add protoype and macros for bfd_XXi_slurp_codeview_record. * peXXigen.c (_bfd_XXi_slurp_codeview_record): Make public * peicode.h (pe_bfd_read_buildid): Add.

2015-06-13gdb: Rework command completion on 'tui reg'.Andrew Burgess2-20/+32
We previously specified a few known register groups for the 'tui reg' command. Other register groups could be accessed, but only by using the 'tui reg next' command and cycling through all the groups. This commit removes the hard coded sub-commands of 'tui reg' and instead adds dynamic completion of sub-commands based on the architecturally defined register groups, giving immediate access to all available register groups. There is still the 'next' and 'prev' commands for cycling through the register groups if that's wanted. The new code maintains the ability to only enter partial names for register groups, which is something we got for free when using the standard sub-command mechanism. The register (and register group) completer has been changed to use get_current_arch rather than using the architecture of the currently selected frame. When the target is running, this is equivalent, however, when the target is not running, using get_current_arch will provide results from the default architecture. gdb/ChangeLog: * completer.c: Add arch-utils.h include. (enum reg_completer_targets): New enum. (reg_or_group_completer_1): New function containing old reg_or_group_completer, add and use new parameter to control what is completed on. Use get_current_arch rather than architecture of currently selected frame. (reg_or_group_completer): Call new reg_or_group_completer_1.

2015-06-12Fix broken GDB build after adding Bound table support for i386.Walfred Tedeschi2-0/+7
Types used for some variables could not be used for 32 bits, causing a compilation failure. This patch adds a cast to force a quite compilation, but at the same time it bails out in the case that the cast performed is not safe, i.e. in the case where the debuggee is 64bit and debugger is 32bit.

2015-05-16compile: New 'compile print'Jan Kratochvil2-0/+23
It is planned the existing GDB command 'print' will be able to evaluate its expressions using the compiler. There will be some option to choose between the existing GDB evaluation and the compiler evaluation. But as an intermediate step this patch provides the expression printing feature as a new command. I can imagine it could be also called 'maintenance compile print' as in the future one should be able to use its functionality by the normal 'print' command. There was a discussion with Eli about the command name: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00880.html As there were no other comments yet I haven't renamed it yet, before there is some confirmation about settlement on the final name.

2015-04-17Access executable from remote system when first inferior appearsGary Benson2-4/+15
This commit modifies remote_add_inferior to take an extra argument try_open_exec. If this is nonzero, remote_add_inferior will attempt to open this inferior's executable as the main executable if no main executable is open already. Callers are updated appropriately. With this commit, remote debugging can now be initiated using only a "target remote" or "target extended-remote" command; no "set sysroot" or "file" commands are required, e.g. bash$ gdb -q (gdb) target remote | gdbserver - /bin/sh Remote debugging using | gdbserver - /bin/sh Process /bin/sh created; pid = 32166 stdin/stdout redirected Remote debugging using stdio Reading symbols from target:/bin/bash... One testcase required updating as a result of this commit. The test checked that GDB's "info files" command does not crash if no main executable is open, and relied on GDB's inability to access the main executable over the remote protocol. The test was updated to inhibit this new behavior. gdb/ChangeLog: * remote.c (remote_add_inferior): New argument try_open_exec. If nonzero, attempt to open the inferior's executable file as the main executable if no main executable is open already. All callers updated. * NEWS: Mention that GDB now supports automatic location and retrieval of executable + files from remote targets. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Connecting to a Remote Target): Mention that GDB can access program files from remote targets that support qXfer:exec-file:read and Host I/O packets. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.server/server-exec-info.exp: Inhibit GDB from accessing the main executable over the remote protocol.
2015-04-17Implement remote_pid_to_exec_file using qXfer:exec-file:readGary Benson2-0/+30
This commit adds a new packet "qXfer:exec-file:read" to the remote protocol that can be used to obtain the pathname of the file that was executed to create a process on the remote system. Support for this packet is added to GDB and remote_ops.to_pid_to_exec_file is implemented using it. gdb/ChangeLog: * target.h (TARGET_OBJECT_EXEC_FILE): New enum value. * remote.c (PACKET_qXfer_exec_file): Likewise. (remote_protocol_features): Register the "qXfer:exec-file:read" feature. (remote_xfer_partial): Handle TARGET_OBJECT_EXEC_FILE. (remote_pid_to_exec_file): New function. (init_remote_ops): Initialize to_pid_to_exec_file. (_initialize_remote): Register new "set/show remote pid-to-exec-file-packet" command. * NEWS: Announce new qXfer:exec-file:read packet. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): Document the "set/show remote pid-to-exec-file-packet" command. (General Query Packets): Document the qXfer:exec-file:read qSupported features. Document the qXfer:exec-file:read packet.
2015-04-17Use gdb_sysroot for main executable on attachGary Benson2-8/+17
This commit updates exec_file_locate_attach to use exec_file_find to compute the full pathname of the main executable in some cases. The net effect of this is that the main executable's path will be prefixed with gdb_sysroot in the same way that shared library paths currently are. gdb/ChangeLog: * exec.c (solist.h): New include. (exec_file_locate_attach): Prefix absolute executable paths with gdb_sysroot if set. * NEWS: Mention that executable paths may be prepended with sysroot. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (set sysroot): Document that "set sysroot" also applies to executable paths if supplied to GDB as absolute.
2015-04-11Remove --xdbJan Kratochvil2-7/+4
Pedro Alves: The commands that enables aren't even documented in the manual. Judging from that, I assume that only wdb users would ever really be using the --xdb switch. I think it's time to drop "support" for the --xdb switch too. I looked through the commands that that exposes, the only that looked potentially interesting was "go", but then it's just an alias for "tbreak+jump", which can easily be done with "define go...end". I'd rather free up the "go" name for something potentially more interesting (either run control, or maybe even unrelated, e.g., for golang). gdb/ChangeLog 2015-04-11 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> * NEWS (Changes since GDB 7.9): Add removed -xdb. * breakpoint.c (command_line_is_silent): Remove xdb_commands conditional.
