Add new proc is_x86_64_m64_target and use it where appropriate.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

This changes many tests to use require when checking 'istarget'. A
few of these conversions were already done in earlier patches.
No change was needed to 'require' to make this work, due to the way it
is written. I think the result looks pretty clear, and it has the
bonus of helping to ensure that the reason that a test is skipped is
always logged.

The canonical form of 'if' in modern TCL is 'if {} {}'. But there's
still a bunch of places in the testsuite where we make use of the
'then' keyword, and sometimes these get copies into new tests, which
just spreads poor practice.
This commit removes all use of the 'then' keyword from the gdb.arch/
test script directory.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.

As follow-up to this discussion:

... make runto_main not pass no-message to runto. This means that if we
fail to run to main, for some reason, we'll emit a FAIL. This is the
behavior we want the majority of (if not all) the time.
Without this, we rely on tests logging a failure if runto_main fails,
otherwise. They do so in a very inconsisteny mannet, sometimes using
"fail", "unsupported" or "untested". The messages also vary widly.
This patch removes all these messages as well.
Also, remove a few "fail" where we call runto (and not runto_main). by
default (without an explicit no-message argument), runto prints a
failure already. In two places, gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp and
gdb.python/py-pp-registration.exp, remove "message" passed to runto.
This removes a few PASSes that we don't care about (but FAILs will still
be printed if we fail to run to where we want to). This aligns their
behavior with the rest of the testsuite.

On a machine on Open Build Service I'm running into a SIGILL for test-case
gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp:
...
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.^M
test_rip_vex2 () at gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.S:40^M
40 vmovsd ro_var(%rip),%xmm0^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp: vex2: \
continue to test_rip_vex2_end
...
The SIGILL happens when trying to execute the first avx instruction in the
executable.
I can't directly access the machine, but looking at the log for test-case
gdb.arch/i386-avx.exp, it seems that there's no avx support:
...
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd6b8) at gdb.arch/i386-avx.c:68^M
68 if (have_avx ())^M
(gdb) print have_avx ()^M
$1 = 0^M
...
Fix this by:
- adding a gdb_caching_proc have_avx, similar to have_mpx, using the have_avx
function from gdb.arch/i386-avx.c
- using proc have_avx in both gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp
and gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/i386-avx.exp.
Tested on my x86_64-linux laptop with avx support, where both test-cases pass.

displaced steps
Today, GDB only allows a single displaced stepping operation to happen
per inferior at a time. There is a single displaced stepping buffer per
inferior, whose address is fixed (obtained with
gdbarch_displaced_step_location), managed by infrun.c.
In the case of the AMD ROCm target [1] (in the context of which this
work has been done), it is typical to have thousands of threads (or
waves, in SMT terminology) executing the same code, hitting the same
breakpoint (possibly conditional) and needing to to displaced step it at
the same time. The limitation of only one displaced step executing at a
any given time becomes a real bottleneck.
To fix this bottleneck, we want to make it possible for threads of a
same inferior to execute multiple displaced steps in parallel. This
patch builds the foundation for that.
In essence, this patch moves the task of preparing a displaced step and
cleaning up after to gdbarch functions. This allows using different
schemes for allocating and managing displaced stepping buffers for
different platforms. The gdbarch decides how to assign a buffer to a
thread that needs to execute a displaced step.
On the ROCm target, we are able to allocate one displaced stepping
buffer per thread, so a thread will never have to wait to execute a
displaced step.
On Linux, the entry point of the executable if used as the displaced
stepping buffer, since we assume that this code won't get used after
startup. From what I saw (I checked with a binary generated against
glibc and musl), on AMD64 we have enough space there to fit two
displaced stepping buffers. A subsequent patch makes AMD64/Linux use
two buffers.
In addition to having multiple displaced stepping buffers, there is also
the idea of sharing displaced stepping buffers between threads. Two
threads doing displaced steps for the same PC could use the same buffer
at the same time. Two threads stepping over the same instruction (same
opcode) at two different PCs may also be able to share a displaced
stepping buffer. This is an idea for future patches, but the
architecture built by this patch is made to allow this.
Now, the implementation details. The main part of this patch is moving
the responsibility of preparing and finishing a displaced step to the
gdbarch. Before this patch, preparing a displaced step is driven by the
displaced_step_prepare_throw function. It does some calls to the
gdbarch to do some low-level operations, but the high-level logic is
there. The steps are roughly:
- Ask the gdbarch for the displaced step buffer location
- Save the existing bytes in the displaced step buffer
- Ask the gdbarch to copy the instruction into the displaced step buffer
- Set the pc of the thread to the beginning of the displaced step buffer
Similarly, the "fixup" phase, executed after the instruction was
successfully single-stepped, is driven by the infrun code (function
displaced_step_finish). The steps are roughly:
- Restore the original bytes in the displaced stepping buffer
- Ask the gdbarch to fixup the instruction result (adjust the target's
registers or memory to do as if the instruction had been executed in
its original location)
The displaced_step_inferior_state::step_thread field indicates which
thread (if any) is currently using the displaced stepping buffer, so it
is used by displaced_step_prepare_throw to check if the displaced
stepping buffer is free to use or not.
This patch defers the whole task of preparing and cleaning up after a
displaced step to the gdbarch. Two new main gdbarch methods are added,
with the following semantics:
- gdbarch_displaced_step_prepare: Prepare for the given thread to
execute a displaced step of the instruction located at its current PC.
Upon return, everything should be ready for GDB to resume the thread
(with either a single step or continue, as indicated by
gdbarch_displaced_step_hw_singlestep) to make it displaced step the
instruction.
- gdbarch_displaced_step_finish: Called when the thread stopped after
having started a displaced step. Verify if the instruction was
executed, if so apply any fixup required to compensate for the fact
that the instruction was executed at a different place than its
original pc. Release any resources that were allocated for this
displaced step. Upon return, everything should be ready for GDB to
resume the thread in its "normal" code path.
The displaced_step_prepare_throw function now pretty much just offloads
to gdbarch_displaced_step_prepare and the displaced_step_finish function
offloads to gdbarch_displaced_step_finish.
The gdbarch_displaced_step_location method is now unnecessary, so is
removed. Indeed, the core of GDB doesn't know how many displaced step
buffers there are nor where they are.
To keep the existing behavior for existing architectures, the logic that
was previously implemented in infrun.c for preparing and finishing a
displaced step is moved to displaced-stepping.c, to the
displaced_step_buffer class. Architectures are modified to implement
the new gdbarch methods using this class. The behavior is not expected
to change.
The other important change (which arises from the above) is that the
core of GDB no longer prevents concurrent displaced steps. Before this
patch, start_step_over walks the global step over chain and tries to
initiate a step over (whether it is in-line or displaced). It follows
these rules:
- if an in-line step is in progress (in any inferior), don't start any
other step over
- if a displaced step is in progress for an inferior, don't start
another displaced step for that inferior
After starting a displaced step for a given inferior, it won't start
another displaced step for that inferior.
In the new code, start_step_over simply tries to initiate step overs for
all the threads in the list. But because threads may be added back to
the global list as it iterates the global list, trying to initiate step
overs, start_step_over now starts by stealing the global queue into a
local queue and iterates on the local queue. In the typical case, each
thread will either:
- have initiated a displaced step and be resumed
- have been added back by the global step over queue by
displaced_step_prepare_throw, because the gdbarch will have returned
that there aren't enough resources (i.e. buffers) to initiate a
displaced step for that thread
Lastly, if start_step_over initiates an in-line step, it stops
iterating, and moves back whatever remaining threads it had in its local
step over queue to the global step over queue.
Two other gdbarch methods are added, to handle some slightly annoying
corner cases. They feel awkwardly specific to these cases, but I don't
see any way around them:
- gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn_closure_by_addr: in
arm_pc_is_thumb, arm-tdep.c wants to get the closure for a given
buffer address.
- gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid: when a process forks
(at least on Linux), the address space is copied. If some displaced
step buffers were in use at the time of the fork, we need to restore
the original bytes in the child's address space.
These two adjustments are also made in infrun.c:
- prepare_for_detach: there may be multiple threads doing displaced
steps when we detach, so wait until all of them are done
- handle_inferior_event: when we handle a fork event for a given
thread, it's possible that other threads are doing a displaced step at
the same time. Make sure to restore the displaced step buffer
contents in the child for them.

Move all debug prints of the "displaced" category to use a new

earlier.

The test gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp is meant to test that doing a
displaced step of an AVX instruction works correctly. However, I found
(by pure coincidence) that the test instructions are not actually
displaced stepped. Rather, they are inline-stepped, so the test is not
actually testing what it's meant to test.
This is what a portion of the test binary looks like:
0000000000400180 <_start>:
400180: 90 nop
0000000000400181 <main>:
400181: 90 nop
0000000000400182 <test_rip_vex2>:
400182: c5 fb 10 05 0e 00 00 vmovsd 0xe(%rip),%xmm0 # 400198 <ro_var>
400189: 00
000000000040018a <test_rip_vex2_end>:
40018a: 90 nop
The instruction at 0x400182 is the one we want to test a displaced step
for. A breakpoint is placed at 0x400182 and ran to. The execution is
then resumed from there, forcing a step-over (which should normally be a
displaced step) of the breakpoint.
However, the displaced stepping buffer is at the _start label, and that
means a breakpoint is present in the displaced stepping buffer. The
breakpoint_in_range_p check in displaced_step_prepare_throw evaluates to
true, which makes displaced_step_prepare_throw fail, forcing GDB to fall
back on an in-line step.
This can be easily observed by placing a `gdb_assert (false)` inside the
breakpoint_in_range_p condition, in displaced_step_prepare_throw, and
running gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp. The assertion will make the
test fail.
The proposed fix is to pad `_start` with a bunch of nops so that the
test instruction is out of the displaced step buffer.
I also think it would be good to enhance the test to make sure that we
are testing displaced stepping as intended. I did that by enabling "set
debug displaced on" while we step over the interesting instruction, and
matching a message printed only when a displaced step is executed.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.S: Add nops after _start.
* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp: Enable "set debug displaced
on" while stepping over the test instruction, match printed
message.

This test starts up and confirms that $xmm0 has the value 0, it then
modifies $xmm0 (in the inferior) and confirms that the new value can
be read (in GDB).
On some machines I was noticing that this test would occasionally
fail, and on investigation I believe that the reason for this is that
the test is linked as a dynamically linked executable and makes use of
the system libraries during startup. The reason that this causes
problems is that both the runtime linker and the startup code run
before main can, and do (on at least some platforms) make use of the
XMM registers.
In this commit I modify the test program slightly to allow it to be
linked statically, without using the startup libraries. Now by the
time GDB reaches the symbol main we have only executed one 'nop'
instruction, and the XMM registers should all have the value 0. I've
extended the test script to confirm that $xmm0 to $xmm15 are all
initially 0, and I also check that at the point after $xmm0 has been
modified, all the other XMM registers ($xmm1 to $xmm15) are still 0.
The test program is still linked against libc in order that we can
call the exit function, however, we now call _exit rather than exit in
order to avoid all of the usual cleanup that exit does. This clean up
tries to tear down things that are usually setup during the startup
code, but now this isn't called calling exit will just result in a
crash.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.S: Add '_start' label.
(done): Call '_exit' not 'exit' to avoid atexit handlers.
* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp: Pass -static, and
-nostartfiles when compiling the test. Confirm that all registers
xmm0 to xmm15 are initially 0, and that xmm1 to xmm15 are 0 after.

A small number of tests incorrectly tried to pass -Wa,-g through to
GCC as an extra compile time flag, either to gdb_compile or
prepare_for_testing.
The problem is that the syntax used for passing the flags was
incorrect, and as a result these extra flags were being ignored.
Luckily, the 'debug' flag was being passed in each case anyway, which
means that the '-g' flag would already be added.
Given that all these tests pass 'debug', and the invalid flag has been
ignored for some time, I'm just removing the flags in this commit.
I've also changed the tests from using gdb_compile to
prepare_for_testing, which allows some extra code to be removed from a
couple of tests scripts.
There should be no change in the test results after this commit.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp: Remove unneeded assembler flag
option, syntax was wrong anyway.
* gdb.arch/arm-disp-step.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.arch/sparc64-regs.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step.exp: Remove unneeded assembler flag
option, syntax was wrong anyway, switch to use
prepare_for_testing.
* gdb.arch/i386-disp-step.exp: Likewise.

gdb/22499)
PR gdb/22499 is about a latent bug exposed by the switch to "maint set
target-non-stop on" by default on x86-64 GNU/Linux, a while ago. With
that on, GDB is also preferring to use displaced-stepping by default.
The testcase in the bug is failing because GDB ends up incorrectly
displaced-stepping over a RIP-relative VEX-encoded instruction, like
this:
0x00000000004007f5 <+15>: c5 fb 10 05 8b 01 00 00 vmovsd 0x18b(%rip),%xmm0 # 0x400988
While RIP-relative instructions need adjustment when relocated to the
scratch pad, GDB ends up just copying VEX-encoded instructions to the
scratch pad unmodified, with the end result that the inferior ends up
executing an instruction that fetches/writes memory from the wrong
address...
This patch teaches GDB about the VEX-encoding prefixes, fixing the
problem, and adds a testcase that fails without the GDB fix.
I think we may need a similar treatment for EVEX-encoded instructions,
but I didn't address that simply because I couldn't find any
EVEX-encoded RIP-relative instruction in the gas testsuite. In any
case, this commit is forward progress as-is already.
