2024-09-25gdb, gdbserver, python, testsuite: Remove MPX.Schimpe, Christina1-39/+0
GDB deprecated the commands "show/set mpx bound" in GDB 15.1, as Intel listed Intel(R) Memory Protection Extensions (MPX) as removed in 2019. MPX is also deprecated in gcc (since v9.1), the linux kernel (since v5.6) and glibc (since v2.35). Let's now remove MPX support in GDB completely. This includes the removal of: - MPX functionality including register support - deprecated mpx commands - i386 and amd64 implementation of the hooks report_signal_info and get_siginfo_type - tests - and pretty printer. We keep MPX register numbers to not break compatibility with old gdbservers. Approved-By: Felix Willgerodt <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>

2024-09-24[gdb/python] Add gdbpy_handle_gdb_exceptionTom de Vries1-9/+19
I've recently committed two patches: - commit 2f8cd40c37a ("[gdb/python] Use GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION more often") - commit fbf8e4c35c2 ("[gdb/python] Use GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION more often") which use the macros GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION and GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION more often, with the goal of making things more consistent. Having done that, I wondered if a better approach could be possible. Consider GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION: ... /* Use this in a 'catch' block to convert the exception to a Python exception and return nullptr. */ #define GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION(Exception) \ do { \ gdbpy_convert_exception (Exception); \ return nullptr; \ } while (0) ... The macro nicely codifies how python handles exceptions: - setting an error condition using some PyErr_Set* variant, and - returning a value implying that something went wrong presumably with the goal that using the macro will mean not accidentally: - forgetting to return on error, or - returning the wrong value on error. The problems are that: - the macro hides control flow, specifically the return statement, and - the macro hides the return value. For example, when reading somewhere: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except); } ... in order to understand what this does, you have to know that the macro returns, and that it returns nullptr. Add a template gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception: ... template<typename T> [[nodiscard]] T gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (T val, const gdb_exception &e) { gdbpy_convert_exception (e); return val; } ... which can be used instead: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { return gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (nullptr, except); } ... [ Initially I tried this: ... template<auto val> [[nodiscard]] auto gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (const gdb_exception &e) { gdbpy_convert_exception (e); return val; } ... with which the usage is slightly better looking: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { return gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception<nullptr> (except); } ... but I ran into trouble with older gcc compilers. ] While still a single statement, we now have it clear: - that the statement returns, - what value the statement returns. [ FWIW, this could also be handled by say: ... - GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except); + GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION_AND_RETURN_VAL (except, nullptr); ... but I still didn't find the fact that it returns easy to spot. Alternatively, this is the simplest form we could use: ... return gdbpy_convert_exception (e), nullptr; ... but the pairing would not necessarily survive a copy/paste/edit cycle. ] Also note how making the value explicit makes it easier to check for consistency: ... catch (const gdb_exception &except) { return gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception (-1, except); } if (PyErr_Occurred ()) return -1; ... given that we do use the explicit constants almost everywhere else. Compared to using GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION, there is the burden now to specify the return value, but I assume that this will be generally copy-pasted and therefore present no problem. Also, there's no longer a guarantee that there's an immediate return, but I assume that nodiscard making sure that the return value is not silently ignored is sufficient mitigation. For now, re-implement GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION and GDB_PY_SET_HANDLE_EXCEPTION in terms of gdbpy_handle_gdb_exception. Follow-up patches will eliminate the macros. No functional changes.

2024-09-23Automatically add types to Python modulesTom Tromey34-230/+93
PR python/32163 points out that various types provided by gdb are not added to the gdb module, so they aren't available for interactive inspection. I think this is just an oversight.

2024-09-10gdb/python: avoid depending on the curses libraryAndrew Burgess1-3/+27
The commit: commit 29c70787112e01cd52b53bf14bdcacb0a11e0725 Date: Sun Sep 8 07:46:09 2024 +0200 [gdb/testsuite] Handle missing curses in gdb.python/py-missing-debug.exp Highlighted that in some cases we might be running on a system with an older version of Python (earlier than 3.7), and on a system for which the curses library has not been installed. In these circumstances the gdb.missing_debug module will not load as it uses curses to provide isalnum() and isascii() functions. To avoid this problem I propose that we copy the isalnum() and isascii() from the Python curses library. These functions are basically trivial and removing the curses dependency means GDB will work in more cases without increasing its dependencies. I did consider keeping the uses of curses and only having the function definitions be a fallback for when the curses library failed to load, but this felt like overkill. The function definitions are both tiny and I think "obvious" given their specifications, so I figure we might as well just use our own definitions if they are not available as builtin methods on the str class. For testing I changed this line: if sys.version_info >= (3, 7): to if sys.version_info >= (3, 7) and False: then reran gdb.python/py-missing-debug.exp, there were no failures.

2024-09-07Remove tui_wrefreshTom Tromey1-2/+2

2024-09-07Rename tui_suppress_outputTom Tromey1-0/+10
This patch renames tui_suppress_output to the more descriptive tui_batch_rendering. This code was never really correct, and was based on a misunderstanding of the curses API. The updated comments describe the intended use of this class. This also removes the erroneous tui_win_info::no_refresh. wnoutrefresh does not prevent any output; rather, it copies from one curses buffer to another but (unlike woutrefresh) without then flushing to the screen. tui_batch_rendering now works in the correct way: calling doupdate in the destructor of the outermost instance, thus batching all screen output until that point. The patch adds instantiations of tui_batch_rendering to various spots, to make sure it is active when refreshing.
2024-09-07gdb: split apart two different types of filename completionAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
Unfortunately we have two different types of filename completion in GDB. The majority of commands have what I call unquoted filename completion, this is for commands like 'set logging file ...', 'target core ...', and 'add-auto-load-safe-path ...'. For these commands everything after the command name (that is not a command option) is treated as a single filename. If the filename contains white space then this does not need to be escaped, nor does the filename need to be quoted. In fact, the filename argument is not de-quoted, and does not have any escaping removed, so if a user does try to add such things, they will be treated as part of the filename. As an example: (gdb) target core "/path/that contains/some white space" Will look for a directory calls '"' (double quotes) in the local directory. A small number of commands do de-quote and remove escapes from filename arguments. These command accept what I call quoted and escaped filenames. Right now these are the commands that specify the file for GDB to debug, so: file exec-file symbol-file add-symbol-file remove-symbol-file As an example of this in action: (gdb) file "/path/that contains/some white space" In this case GDB would load the file: /path/that contains/some white space Current filename completion always assumes that filenames can be quoted, though escaping doesn't work in completion right now. But the assumption that quoting is allowed is clearly wrong. This commit splits filename completion into two. The existing filename_completer is retained, and is used for unquoted filenames. A second filename_maybe_quoted_completer is added which can be used for completing quoted filenames. The filename completion test has been extended to cover more cases. As part of the extended testing I need to know the character that should be used to separate filenames within a path. For this TCL 8.6+ has $::tcl_platform(pathSeparator). To support older versions of TCL I've added some code to testsuite/lib/gdb.exp. You might notice that after this commit the completion for unquoted files is all done in the brkchars phase, that is the function filename_completer_handle_brkchars calculates the completions and marks the completion_tracker as using a custom word point. The reason for this is that we don't want to break on white space for this completion, but if we rely on readline to find the completion word, readline will consider the entire command line, and with no white space in the word break character set, readline will end up using the entire command line as the word to complete. For now at least, the completer for quoted filenames does generate its completions during the completion phase, though this is going to change in a later commit.

This adds an overload of gdbpy_call_method that accepts a gdbpy_ref<>. This is just a small convenience. Reviewed-By: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
2024-06-13Return gdbpy_ref<> from gdbpy_call_methodTom Tromey6-29/+29
This changes gdbpy_call_method to return a gdbpy_ref<>. This is slightly safer because it makes it simpler to correctly handle reference counts. Reviewed-By: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>
2024-06-12[gdb/python] Add typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethodTom Tromey6-37/+79
In gdb/python/py-tui.c we have code like this: ... gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get(), "hscroll", "i", num_to_scroll, nullptr)); ... The nullptr is superfluous, the format string already indicates that there's only one method argument. OTOH, passing no method args does use a nullptr: ... gdbpy_ref<> result (PyObject_CallMethod (m_window.get (), "render", nullptr)); ... Furthermore, choosing the right format string chars can be tricky. Add a typesafe wrapper around PyObject_CallMethod that hides these details, such that we can use the more intuitive: ... gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get(), "hscroll", num_to_scroll)); ... and: ... gdbpy_ref<> result (gdbpy_call_method (m_window.get (), "render")); ... Tested on x86_64-linux. Co-Authored-By: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2024-06-11fix division by zero in target_read_string()Kilian Kilger1-1/+1
Under certain circumstances, a floating point exception in target_read_string() can happen when the type has been obtained by a call to stpy_lazy_string_elt_type(). In the latter function, a call to check_typedef() has been forgotten. This makes type->length = 0 in this case.
2024-06-10Make global_symbol_searcher::filenames privateTom Tromey1-8/+1
This patch renames global_symbol_searcher::filenames and makes it private, adding a new method to append a filename to the vector. This also cleans up memory management here, removing an alloca from rbreak, and removing a somewhat ugly SCOPE_EXIT from the Python code, in favor of having global_symbol_searcher manage the memory itself. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.
2024-06-10[gdb/python] Fix GDB_PY_{LL,LLU}_ARG on platform without long longTom de Vries1-2/+2

The problem is that gdb_py_longest is typedef-ed to long, but the corresponding format character GDB_PY_LL_ARG is defined to "L", meaning "long long" [1]. Fix this by using "l", meaning long instead. Likewise for GDB_PY_LLU_ARG. Tested on arm-linux.

Fix this by using "I" instead, meaning "unsigned int". Also, offset has type LONGEST, which is typedef'ed to int64_t, while "L" means "long long". Fix this by using type gdb_py_longest for offset, in combination with format character "GDB_PY_LL_ARG". Likewise in disasmpy_info_read_memory. Tested on arm-linux.

2024-06-10[gdb/python] Note that python 3.6 assumes long long supportTom de Vries1-2/+13
Starting with python 3.6, support for platforms without long long support has been removed [1]. HAVE_LONG_LONG and PY_LONG_LONG are still defined, but only for compatibility, so stop relying on them.

2024-06-07gdb: make progspace::exec_filename private, add getter / setterSimon Marchi1-1/+1
Just like the title says... I think this makes things a bit clearer, for instance where the exec filename is set. It also makes the read call sites a bit nicer, avoiding the `.get ()`. Change-Id: If8b58ae8f6270c8a34b868f6ca06128c6671ea3c Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
