gdbarch_deprecated_pseudo_register_write
The next patch introduces a new variant of gdbarch_pseudo_register_write
that takes a frame instead of a regcache for implementations to write
raw registers. Rename to old one to make it clear it's deprecated.

Change gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to take a frame instead of a
regcache. The frame (and formerly the regcache) is used to read raw
registers needed to make up the pseudo register value. The problem with
using the regcache is that it always provides raw register values for
the current frame (frame 0).
Let's say the user wants to read the ebx register on amd64. ebx is a pseudo
register, obtained by reading the bottom half (bottom 4 bytes) of the
rbx register, which is a raw register. If the currently selected frame
is frame 0, it works fine:
(gdb) frame 0
#0 break_here_asm () at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S:36
36 in /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S
(gdb) p/x $ebx
$1 = 0x24252627
(gdb) p/x $rbx
$2 = 0x2021222324252627
But if the user is looking at another frame, and the raw register behind
the pseudo register has been saved at some point in the call stack, then
we get a wrong answer:
(gdb) frame 1
#1 0x000055555555517d in caller () at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S:56
56 in /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S
(gdb) p/x $ebx
$3 = 0x24252627
(gdb) p/x $rbx
$4 = 0x1011121314151617
Here, the value of ebx was computed using the value of rbx in frame 0
(through the regcache), it should have been computed using the value of
rbx in frame 1.
In other to make this work properly, make the following changes:
- Make dwarf2_frame_prev_register return nullptr if it doesn't know how
to unwind a register and that register is a pseudo register.
Previously, it returned `frame_unwind_got_register`, meaning, in our
example, "the value of ebx in frame 1 is the same as the value of ebx
in frame 0", which is obviously false. Return nullptr as a way to
say "I don't know".
- In frame_unwind_register_value, when prev_register (for instance
dwarf2_frame_prev_register) returns nullptr, and we are trying to
read a pseudo register, try to get the register value through
gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value or gdbarch_pseudo_register_read.
If using gdbarch_pseudo_register_read, the behavior is known to be
broken. Implementations should be migrated to use
gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to fix that.
- Change gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to take a frame_info
instead of a regcache, update implementations (aarch64, amd64, i386).
In i386-tdep.c, I made a copy of i386_mmx_regnum_to_fp_regnum that
uses a frame instead of a regcache. The version using the regcache
is still used by i386_pseudo_register_write. It will get removed in
a subsequent patch.
- Add some helpers in value.{c,h} to implement the common cases of
pseudo registers: taking part of a raw register and concatenating
multiple raw registers.
- Update readable_regcache::{cooked_read,cooked_read_value} to pass the
current frame to gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value. Passing the
current frame will give the same behavior as before: for frame 0, raw
registers will be read from the current thread's regcache.
Notes:
- I do not plan on changing gdbarch_pseudo_register_read to receive a
frame instead of a regcache. That method is considered deprecated.
Instead, we should be working on migrating implementations to use
gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value instead.
- In frame_unwind_register_value, we still ask the unwinder to try to
unwind pseudo register values. It's apparently possible for the
debug info to provide information about [1] pseudo registers, so we
want to try that first, before falling back to computing them
ourselves.

I think that i386 k registers are raw registers, and therefore shouldn't
be handled in the various functions handling pseudo registers.
What tipped me off is the code in i386_pseudo_register_read_into_value:
else if (i386_k_regnum_p (gdbarch, regnum))
{
regnum -= tdep->k0_regnum;
/* Extract (always little endian). */
status = regcache->raw_read (tdep->k0_regnum + regnum, raw_buf);
We take regnum (the pseudo register number we want to read), subtract
k0_regnum, add k0_regnum, and pass the result to raw_read. So we would
end up calling raw_read with the same regnum as the function received
which is supposedly a pseudo register number.
Other hints are:
- The command `maint print raw-registers` shows the k registers.
- Printing $k0 doesn't cause i386_pseudo_register_read_into_value to be
called.
- There's code in i387-tdep.c to save/restore the k registers.
Remove handling of the k registers from:
- i386_pseudo_register_read_into_value
- i386_pseudo_register_write
- i386_ax_pseudo_register_collect

If a target provides a target description including registers from the
XSAVE extended region, but does not provide an XSAVE layout, use a
fallback XSAVE layout based on the included registers. This fallback
layout matches GDB's behavior in earlier releases which assumes the
layout from Intel CPUs.
This fallback layout is currently only used for remote targets since
native targets which support XSAVE provide an explicit layout derived
from CPUID.

Remove get_current_regcache, inlining the call to get_thread_regcache in
callers. When possible, pass the right thread_info object known from
the local context. Otherwise, fall back to passing `inferior_thread ()`.
This makes the reference to global context bubble up one level, a small
step towards the long term goal of reducing the number of references to
global context (or rather, moving those references as close as possible
to the top of the call tree).
No behavior change expected.

This function is just a wrapper around the current inferior's gdbarch.
I find that having that wrapper just obscures where the arch is coming
from, and that it's often used as "I don't know which arch to use so
I'll use this magical target_gdbarch function that gets me an arch" when
the arch should in fact come from something in the context (a thread,
objfile, symbol, etc). I think that removing it and inlining
`current_inferior ()->arch ()` everywhere will make it a bit clearer
where that arch comes from and will trigger people into reflecting
whether this is the right place to get the arch or not.

This commit aims to address a problem that exists with the current
approach to displaced stepping, and was identified in PR gdb/22921.
Displaced stepping is currently supported on AArch64, ARM, amd64,
i386, rs6000 (ppc), and s390. Of these, I believe there is a problem
with the current approach which will impact amd64 and ARM, and can
lead to random register corruption when the inferior makes use of
asynchronous signals and GDB is using displaced stepping.
The problem can be found in displaced_step_buffers::finish in
displaced-stepping.c, and is this; after GDB tries to perform a
displaced step, and the inferior stops, GDB classifies the stop into
one of two states, either the displaced step succeeded, or the
displaced step failed.
If the displaced step succeeded then gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup is
called, which has the job of fixing up the state of the current
inferior as if the step had not been performed in a displaced manner.
This all seems just fine.
However, if the displaced step is considered to have not completed
then GDB doesn't call gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup, instead GDB
remains in displaced_step_buffers::finish and just performs a minimal
fixup which involves adjusting the program counter back to its
original value.
The problem here is that for amd64 and ARM setting up for a displaced
step can involve changing the values in some temporary registers. If
the displaced step succeeds then this is fine; after the step the
temporary registers are restored to their original values in the
architecture specific code.
But if the displaced step does not succeed then the temporary
registers are never restored, and they retain their modified values.
In this context a temporary register is simply any register that is
not otherwise used by the instruction being stepped that the
architecture specific code considers safe to borrow for the lifetime
of the instruction being stepped.
In the bug PR gdb/22921, the amd64 instruction being stepped is
an rip-relative instruction like this:
jmp *0x2fe2(%rip)
When we displaced step this instruction we borrow a register, and
modify the instruction to something like:
jmp *0x2fe2(%rcx)
with %rcx having its value adjusted to contain the original %rip
value.
Now if the displaced step does not succeed, then %rcx will be left
with a corrupted value. Obviously corrupting any register is bad; in
the bug report this problem was spotted because %rcx is used as a
function argument register.
And finally, why might a displaced step not succeed? Asynchronous
signals provides one reason. GDB sets up for the displaced step and,
at that precise moment, the OS delivers a signal (SIGALRM in the bug
report), the signal stops the inferior at the address of the displaced
instruction. GDB cancels the displaced instruction, handles the
signal, and then tries again with the displaced step. But it is that
first cancellation of the displaced step that causes the problem; in
that case GDB (correctly) sees the displaced step as having not
completed, and so does not perform the architecture specific fixup,
leaving the register corrupted.
The reason why I think AArch64, rs600, i386, and s390 are not effected
by this problem is that I don't believe these architectures make use
of any temporary registers, so when a displaced step is not completed
successfully, the minimal fix up is sufficient.
On amd64 we use at most one temporary register.
On ARM, looking at arm_displaced_step_copy_insn_closure, we could
modify up to 16 temporary registers, and the instruction being
displaced stepped could be expanded to multiple replacement
instructions, which increases the chances of this bug triggering.
This commit only aims to address the issue on amd64 for now, though I
believe that the approach I'm proposing here might be applicable for
ARM too.
What I propose is that we always call gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup.
We will now pass an extra argument to gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup,
this a boolean that indicates whether GDB thinks the displaced step
completed successfully or not.
When this flag is false this indicates that the displaced step halted
for some "other" reason. On ARM GDB can potentially read the
inferior's program counter in order figure out how far through the
sequence of replacement instructions we got, and from that GDB can
figure out what fixup needs to be performed.
On targets like amd64 the problem is slightly easier as displaced
stepping only uses a single replacement instruction. If the displaced
step didn't complete the GDB knows that the single instruction didn't
execute.
The point is that by always calling gdbarch_displaced_step_fixup, each
architecture can now ensure that the inferior state is fixed up
correctly in all cases, not just the success case.
On amd64 this ensures that we always restore the temporary register
value, and so bug PR gdb/22921 is resolved.
In order to move all architectures to this new API, I have moved the
minimal roll-back version of the code inside the architecture specific
fixup functions for AArch64, rs600, s390, and ARM. For all of these
except ARM I think this is good enough, as no temporaries are used all
that's needed is the program counter restore anyway.
For ARM the minimal code is no worse than what we had before, though I
do consider this architecture's displaced-stepping broken.
I've updated the gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp test to cover the
'jmpq*' instruction that was causing problems in the original bug, and
also added support for testing the displaced step in the presence of
asynchronous signal delivery.
I've also added two new tests (for amd64 and i386) that check that GDB
can correctly handle displaced stepping over a single instruction that
branches to itself. I added these tests after a first version of this
patch relied too much on checking the program-counter value in order
to see if the displaced instruction had executed. This works fine in
almost all cases, but when an instruction branches to itself a pure
program counter check is not sufficient. The new tests expose this
problem.

It was pointed out during review of another patch that the function
displaced_step_dump_bytes really isn't specific to displaced stepping,
and should really get a more generic name and move into gdbsupport/.
This commit does just that. The function is renamed to
bytes_to_string and is moved into gdbsupport/common-utils.{cc,h}. The
function implementation doesn't really change. Much...
... I have updated the function to take an array view, which makes it
slightly easier to call in a couple of places where we already have a
gdb::bytes_vector. I've then added an inline wrapper to convert a raw
pointer and length into an array view, which is used in places where
we don't easily have a gdb::bytes_vector (or similar).
Updated all users of displaced_step_dump_bytes.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Finally, I ended up having to add an include of gdb_assert.h into
array-view.h. When I include array-view.h into common-utils.h I ran
into build problems because array-view.h calls gdb_assert.

But we'd run into the following problem for a -g0
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables (without .debug_info and .eh_frame section)
exec:
- the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder would not run
(because compunit_epilogue_unwind_valid () == true)

- renaming the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder to "amd64 epilogue override", and
- adding a fallback "amd64 epilogue" after the dwarf unwinders,
while making sure that only one of the two is active. Likewise for i386. NFC.

ISTM me there's no reason for the i386 unwinders to be there for amd64.
Furthermore, there's a generic need to play around with enabling and disabling
unwinders, see PR8434. Currently, that's only available for both the dwarf2
unwinders at once using "maint set dwarf unwinders on/off".
If I manually disable the "amd64 epilogue" unwinder, the "i386 epilogue"
unwinder becomes active and gives the wrong answer, while I'm actually
interested in the result of the dwarf2 unwinder. Of course I can also
manually disable the "i386 epilogue", but I take the fact that I have to do
that as evidence that on amd64, the "i386 epilogue" is not only unnecessary,
but in the way.
Fix this by only adding the i386 unwinders if
"info.bfd_arch_info->bits_per_word == 32".
Note that the x32 abi (x86_64/-mx32):
- has the same unwinder list as amd64 (x86_64/-m64) before this commit,
- has info.bfd_arch_info->bits_per_word == 64, the same as amd64, and
consequently,
- has the same unwinder list as amd64 after this commit.
Tested on x86_64-linux, -m64 and -m32. Not tested with -mx32.

It's currently not clear how the ownership of gdbarch_tdep objects
works. In fact, nothing ever takes ownership of it. This is mostly
fine because we never free gdbarch objects, and thus we never free
gdbarch_tdep objects. There is an exception to that however: when
initialization fails, we do free the gdbarch object that is not going to
be used, and we free the tdep too. Currently, i386 and s390 do it.
To make things clearer, change gdbarch_alloc so that it takes ownership
of the tdep. The tdep is thus automatically freed if the gdbarch is
freed.
Change all gdbarch initialization functions to pass a new gdbarch_tdep
object to gdbarch_alloc and then retrieve a non-owning reference from
the gdbarch object.
Before this patch, the xtensa architecture had a single global instance
of xtensa_gdbarch_tdep. Since we need to pass a dynamically allocated
gdbarch_tdep_base instance to gdbarch_alloc, remove this global
instance, and dynamically allocate one as needed, like we do for all
other architectures. Make the `rmap` array externally visible and
rename it to the less collision-prone `xtensa_rmap` name.

This patch updates the gdbarch_return_value_as_value implementations
to work correctly with variably-sized return types.
|

This converts a few selected architectures to use
gdbarch_return_value_as_value rather than gdbarch_return_value. The
architectures are just the ones that I am able to test. This patch
should not introduce any behavior changes.

Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

This changes GDB to use frame_info_ptr instead of frame_info *
The substitution was done with multiple sequential `sed` commands:
sed 's/^struct frame_info;/class frame_info_ptr;/'
sed 's/struct frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g' - which left some
issues in a few files, that were manually fixed.
sed 's/\<frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g'
sed 's/frame_info_ptr $/frame_info_ptr/g' - used to remove whitespace
problems.
The changed files were then manually checked and some 'sed' changes
undone, some constructors and some gets were added, according to what
made sense, and what Tromey originally did

This removes the deprecated register_gdbarch_init in favor a default
argument to gdbarch_register. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.

This changes struct objfile to use a gdb_bfd_ref_ptr. In addition to
removing some manual memory management, this fixes a use-after-free
that was introduced by the registry rewrite series. The issue there
was that, in some cases, registry shutdown could refer to memory that
had already been freed. This help fix the bug by delaying the
destruction of the BFD reference (and thus the per-bfd object) until
after the registry has been shut down.

I built GDB for all targets on a x86-64/GNU-Linux system, and
then (accidentally) passed GDB a RISC-V binary, and asked GDB to "run"
the binary on the native target. I got this error:
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.rv32.exe...
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "riscv:rv32").
(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
../../src/gdb/i387-tdep.c:596: internal-error: i387_supply_fxsave: Assertion `tdep->st0_regnum >= I386_ST0_REGNUM' failed.
What's going on here is this; initially the architecture is i386, this
is based on the default architecture, which is set based on the native
target. After loading the RISC-V executable the architecture of the
current inferior is updated based on the architecture of the
executable.
When we "run", GDB does a fork & exec, with the inferior being
controlled through ptrace. GDB sees an initial stop from the inferior
as soon as the inferior comes to life. In response to this stop GDB
ends up calling save_stop_reason (linux-nat.c), which ends up trying
to read register from the inferior, to do this we end up calling
target_ops::fetch_registers, which, for the x86-64 native target,
calls amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers.
After this I eventually end up in i387_supply_fxsave, different x86
based targets will end in different functions to fetch registers, but
it doesn't really matter which function we end up in, the problem is
this line, which is repeated in many places:
i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
The problem here is that the ARCH in this line comes from the current
inferior, which, as we discussed above, will be a RISC-V gdbarch, the
tdep field will actually be of type riscv_gdbarch_tdep, not
i386_gdbarch_tdep. After this cast we are relying on undefined
behaviour, in my case I happen to trigger an assert, but this might
not always be the case.
The thing I tried that exposed this problem was of course, trying to
start an executable of the wrong architecture on a native target. I
don't think that the correct solution for this problem is to detect,
at the point of cast, that the gdbarch_tdep object is of the wrong
type, but, I did wonder, is there a way that we could protect
ourselves from incorrectly casting the gdbarch_tdep object?
I think that there is something we can do here, and this commit is the
first step in that direction, though no actual check is added by this
commit.
This commit can be split into two parts:
(1) In gdbarch.h and arch-utils.c. In these files I have modified
gdbarch_tdep (the function) so that it now takes a template argument,
like this:
template<typename TDepType>
static inline TDepType *
gdbarch_tdep (struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
struct gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep_1 (gdbarch);
return static_cast<TDepType *> (tdep);
}
After this change we are no better protected, but the cast is now
done within the gdbarch_tdep function rather than at the call sites,
this leads to the second, much larger change in this commit,
(2) Everywhere gdbarch_tdep is called, we make changes like this:
- i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
+ i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep<i386_gdbarch_tdep> (arch);
There should be no functional change after this commit.
In the next commit I will build on this change to add an assertion in
gdbarch_tdep that checks we are casting to the correct type.

There's a set of 7 default register groups. If we don't add any
gdbarch specific register groups during gdbarch initialisation, then
when we iterate over the register groups using reggroup_next and
reggroup_prev we will make use of these 7 default groups. See the use
of default_groups in gdb/reggroups.c for details on this.
However, if the gdbarch adds its own groups during gdbarch
initialisation, then these groups will be used in preference to the
default groups.
A problem arises though if the particular architecture makes use of
the target description mechanism. If the default target
description(s) (i.e. those internal to GDB that are used when the user
doesn't provide their own) don't mention any additional register
groups then the default register groups will be used.
But if the target description does mention additional groups then the
default groups are not used, and instead, the groups from the target
description are used.
The problem with this is that what usually happens is that the target
description will mention additional groups, e.g. groups for special
registers. Most architectures that use target descriptions work
around this by adding all (or most) of the default register groups in
all cases. See i386_add_reggroups, aarch64_add_reggroups,
riscv_add_reggroups, xtensa_add_reggroups, and others.
In this patch, my suggestion is that we should just add the default
register groups for every architecture, always. This change is in
gdb/reggroups.c.
All the remaining changes are me updating the various architectures to
not add the default groups themselves.
So, where will this change be visible to the user? I think the
following commands will possibly change:
* info registers / info all-registers:
The user can provide a register group to these commands. For example,
on csky, we previously never added the 'vector' group. Now, as a
default group, this will be available, but (presumably) will not
contain any registers. I don't think this is necessarily a bad
thing, there's something to be said for having some consistent
defaults available. There are other architectures that didn't add
all 7 of the defaults, which will now have gained additional groups.
* maint print reggroups
This prints the set of all available groups. As a maintenance
command I'm less concerned with the output changing here.
Obviously, for the architectures that didn't previously add all the
defaults, this list just got bigger.
* maint print register-groups
This prints all the registers, and the groups they are in. If the
defaults were not previously being added then a register (obviously)
can't appear in one of the default groups. Now the groups are
available then registers might be in more groups than previously.
However, this is again a maintenance command, so I'm less concerned
about this changing.

Change gdbarch_register_reggroup_p to take a 'const struct reggroup *'
argument. This requires a change to the gdb/gdbarch-components.py
script, regeneration of gdbarch.{c,h}, and then updates to all the
architectures that implement this method.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

It is better to rename floatformats_ia64_quad to floatformats_ieee_quad
to reflect the reality, and then we can clean up the related code.
As Tom Tromey said [1]:
These files are maintained in gcc and then imported into the
binutils-gdb repository, so any changes to them will have to
be proposed there first.
the related changes have been merged into gcc master now [2], it is time
to do it for gdb.
