With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

This adds more styling to the disassemble command. In particular,
addresses and function names in the disassembly are now styled.
This required fixing a small latent bug in set_output_style. This
function always passed NULL to emit_style_escape; but when writing to
a file other than gdb_stdout, it should emit the style escape
directly. (FWIW this is another argument for better integrating the
pager with ui_file and getting rid of this entire layer.)

Running
make check-read1 TESTS="gdb.mi/list-thread-groups-available.exp"
on my machine results in timeout failures. Running it while having
`tail -F testsuite/gdb.log` on the side shows that the test is never
really blocked, it is just slow at consuming the large output generated
by `-list-thread-groups --available` (which lists all the processes on
the system).
If I increase the timeout to a large value, the test passes in ~30
seconds (compared to under 1 second normally).
Increase the timeout for the particular mi_gdb_test that is long to
execute under read1. The new timeout value is a bit arbitrary. The
default timeout is 10 seconds, so I set the new timeout to be
"old-timeout * 10", so 100 seconds in the typical case.

When running gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp with
--target_board=unix/-fno-PIE/-no-pie, we get:
...
nr of expected passes 140
...
The test-case is compiled once with nopie and once with pie, but in both cases
we end up with a non-PIE executable. The "-fno-PIE -no-pie" options specified
using the target_board are interpreted by dejagnu as multilib_flags, and end up
overriding the pie flags.
Fix this by checking in gdb_compile if the resulting exec is non-PIE despite of
a pie setting, and if so return an error:

In Ada, it's possible to have nested functions. However,
block.c:contained_in does not recognize this. Normally, this is no
problem, but if gdb is stopped inside a nested function, then you can
end up in the unexpected situation that "print" of an expression will
work, whereas "display" of the same expression will not -- because
contained_in returns 0.
This patch simply removes the BLOCK_FUNCTION check from contained_in.
The rationale here is that in languages without nested functions, this
will not cause any issues.

Exactly which escape sequences are emitted by gdb in TUI mode are
determined largely by the curses implementation. Testing my latest
(as yet unsubmitted) series to refactor the TUI showed a couple of
failures that I tracked to the test suite's terminal implementation.

"X" sequence was implemented incorrectly.
This patch fixes both of these problems. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 28.

* gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: Fix completion trigger for "complete with
no arguments".
|

When running gdb.linespec/explicit.exp with check-read1, we get:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: complete unique file name: break -source "3explicit.c"
break -source exp^Glicit^G^M
explicit.c explicit2.c ^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: complete non-unique file name
...
The problem is that we have a gdb_test_multiple where we match two regexps:
...
set tst "complete non-unique file name"
send_gdb "break -source exp\t"
gdb_test_multiple "" $tst {
-re "break -source exp\\\x07licit" {
...
}
-re "break -source exp\\\x07l" {
# This pattern may occur when glibc debuginfo is installed.
...
}
}
...
but since second is a substring of the first, we'll usually match the first,
but with check-read1 we'll match the second.
Fix this by using a single regexp and merging the related code.

when running python/python.exp with check-read1, we get:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.python/python.exp: prompt substitution readline - end

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/python.exp: set the hook to default

The problem is that gdb_test_multiple here:
...
gdb_test_multiple "python gdb.prompt_hook = error_prompt" "set the hook" {
-re "Python Exception (exceptions.RuntimeError|<(type 'exceptions.|class ')RuntimeError'>) Python excepti
on called.*" {
pass "set hook"
}
}
...
specifies a regexp that ends with ".*" but doesn't specify the expected
$gdb_prompt.
Consequently, due to check-read1, the ".*" is matched to "" and the remaining
$gdb_prompt is read by the the following gdb_py_test_silent_cmd, which has
its own $gdb_prompt read by the following gdb_py_test_silent_cmd, which has
its own $gdb_prompt causing a mismatch for the following gdb_test_multiple:
...
gdb_test_multiple "python gdb.prompt_hook = error_prompt" "set the hook" {
-re "Traceback.*File.*line.*RuntimeError.*Python exception called.*" {
pass "set hook"
}
}
...
which causes both FAILs.
The second gdb_test_multiple has the same problem as the first, but it happens
not to cause a FAIL because it's followed by a gdb_py_test_silent_cmd and a
clean_restart.
Fix the regexps in both gdb_test_multiple calls.

With check-read1 we get:
...
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-catch-cpp-exceptions.exp: check for stap probe in libstdc++
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-nonstop.exp: probe for target remote

In both cases this is due to using gdb_test_multiple (which expects $gdb_prompt
by default) in combination with gdb using $gdb_mi_prompt, similar to the
problem fixed by commit d17725d72f "Don't expect gdb_prompt in
mi_skip_python_test".
Fix this by adding the $prompt_regexp argument to the gdb_test_multiple calls.

The FAILs happen as follows.
On one hand, skip_python_tests_prompt uses the prompt_regexp parameter for the
user_code argument of gdb_test_multiple:
...
proc skip_python_tests_prompt { prompt_regexp } {
global gdb_py_is_py3k
gdb_test_multiple "python print ('test')" "verify python support" {
-re "not supported.*$prompt_regexp" {
unsupported "Python support is disabled."
return 1
}
-re "$prompt_regexp" {}
}
gdb_test_multiple "python print (sys.version_info\[0\])" "check if python 3" {
-re "3.*$prompt_regexp" {
set gdb_py_is_py3k 1
}
-re ".*$prompt_regexp" {
set gdb_py_is_py3k 0
}
}
...
On the other hand, gdb_test_multiple itself uses $gdb_prompt:
...
-re "\r\n$gdb_prompt $" {
if ![string match "" $message] then {
fail "$message"
}
set result 1
}
...
So when mi_skip_python_test calls skip_python_tests_prompt with prompt_regexp
set to $mi_gdb_prompt:
...
proc mi_skip_python_tests {} {
global mi_gdb_prompt
return [skip_python_tests_prompt "$mi_gdb_prompt$"]
}
...
and expect reads "(gdb) " and tries to match it (due to the READ1=1 setting),
the user_code regexps using $prompt_regexp (set to $mi_gdb_prompt) don't match,
but the $gdb_prompt regexp in gdb_test_multiple does match.
Fix this by adding a prompt_regexp parameter to gdb_test_multiple, and using the
parameter in skip_python_tests_prompt.

I recently noticed the following behavior while debugging
dw2-ranges-func-low-cold. This is one of the test programs associated
with the test gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp.
(gdb) b 70
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401129: file dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c, line 70.
(gdb) run
Starting program: dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold
Breakpoint 1, foo ()
at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:70
70 if (e) foo_cold (); /* foo foo_cold call */
(gdb) set var e=1
(gdb) step
[Inferior 1 (process 12545) exited normally]
This is incorrect. When stepping, we expect a step to occur. We do not
expect the program to exit. Instead, we should see the following behavior:
...
(gdb) set var e=1
(gdb) step
foo ()
at dw2-ranges-func-lo-cold.c:54
54 baz (); /* foo_cold baz call */
(Note that I've shortened the paths in the above sessions to improve
readability.)
The bug is in fill_in_stop_func() in infrun.c. While working on
non-contiguous address range improvements in 2018, I replaced the
call to find_pc_partial_function() with a call to
find_function_entry_range_from_pc(). Although this seemed like the
right thing to do at the time, I now think that calling
find_pc_partial_function (along with some other tweaks) is the right
thing to do.
For blocks with a single contiguous range, these functions do pretty
much the same thing: when the function succeeds, the function name,
start address, and end address are all filled in. Additionally,
find_pc_partial_function contains an additional output parameter
which is set to the block containing that PC.
For blocks with non-contiguous ranges, find_pc_partial_function
sets the start and end addresses to the start and end addresses
of the range containing the pc. find_function_entry_range_from_pc
does what it says; it sets the start and end addresses to those
of the range containing the entry pc.
The reason that I had thought that using the entry pc range was
correct is due to the fact that fill_in_stop_func() contains some
code for advancing past the function start and entry point. To do
this, we'd need the range that contains the entry pc.
However, when stepping, we actually want the range that contains the
stop pc. If that range also contains the entry pc, we should then
attempt to advance stop_func_start past the start offset and entry
point. (I haven't thought very hard about the reason for advancing
the stop_func_start in this manner. Since it's been there for quite
a while, I'm assuming that it's still a good idea.)
Back when I wrote the test case, I had included a test for doing the
step shown in the example above. I had problems with it, however. At
the time, I thought it was due to differing compiler versions, so I
disabled that portion of the test. I have now reenabled those tests,
but have left in place the logic which may be used to disable it.
The changes to dw2-ranges-func.exp depend on my other recent changes
to the file which have not been pushed yet.
Finally, I'll note that the only caller of
find_function_entry_range_from_pc() is/was fill_in_stop_func(). Once
this commit goes in, it'll be dead code. I considered removing it,
but I think that it ought to be used (instead of
find_pc_partial_function) for determining the correct range to scan
for prologue analysis, so I'm going to leave it in place for now.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (fill_in_stop_func): Use find_pc_partial_function
instead of find_function_entry_range_from_pc.
testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-ranges-func.exp (enable_foo_cold_stepping):
Enable tests associated with this flag. Adjust regex
referencing "foo_low" to now refer to "foo_cold" instead.

The original dw2-ranges-func.exp test caused a function named foo to be
created with two non-contiguous address ranges. In the C source file,
a function named foo_low was incorporated into the function foo which
was also defined in that file. The DWARF assembler is used to do this
manipulation. The source file had been laid out so that foo_low would
likely be placed (by the compiler and linker) at a lower address than
foo().
The case where a range at a higher set of addresses (than foo) was not
being tested. In a recent discussion on gdb-patches, it became clear
that performing such tests are desirable because bugs were discovered
which only became evident when the other range was located at high(er)
addresses than the range containing the entry point for the function.
This other (non entry pc) address range is typically used for "cold"
code which executes less frequently. Thus, I renamed foo_low to
foo_cold and renamed the C source file from dw-ranges-func.c to
dw-ranges-func-lo.c. I then made a copy of this file, naming it
dw-ranges-func-hi.c. (That was my intent anyway. According to git,
I renamed dw-ranges-func.c to dw-ranges-func-hi.c and then modified it.
dw-ranges-func-lo.c shows up as an entirely new file.)
Within dw-ranges-func-hi.c, I changed the placement of foo_cold()
along with some of the other functions so that foo_cold() would be at
a higher address than foo() while also remaining non-contiguous. The
two files, dw-ranges-func-lo.c and dw-ranges-func-hi.c, are
essentially the same except for the placement of some of the functions
therein.
The tests in dw2-ranges-func.exp where then wrapped in a new proc named
do_test which was then called in a loop from the outermost level. The
loop causes each of the source files to have the same tests run upon
them.
I also added a few new tests which test functionality fixed by the other
commits to this patch series. Due to the reorganization of the file,
it's hard to identify these changes in the patch. So, here are the
tests which were added:
with_test_prefix "no-cold-names" {
# Due to the calling sequence, this backtrace would normally
# show function foo_cold for frame #1. However, we don't want
# this to be the case due to placing it in the same block
# (albeit at a different range) as foo. Thus it is correct to
# see foo for frames #1 and #2. It is incorrect to see
# foo_cold at frame #1.
gdb_test_sequence "bt" "backtrace from baz" {
"\[\r\n\]#0 .*? baz \\(\\) "
"\[\r\n\]#1 .*? foo \\(\\) "
"\[\r\n\]#2 .*? foo \\(\\) "
"\[\r\n\]#3 .*? main \\(\\) "
}
# Doing x/2i foo_cold should show foo_cold as the first symbolic
# address and an offset from foo for the second. We also check to
# make sure that the offset is not too large - we don't GDB to
# display really large offsets that would (try to) wrap around the
# address space.
set foo_cold_offset 0
set test "x/2i foo_cold"
gdb_test_multiple $test $test {
-re " (?:$hex) <foo_cold>.*?\n (?:$hex) <foo\[+-\](\[0-9\]+)>.*${gdb_prompt}" {
set foo_cold_offset $expect_out(1,string)
pass $test
}
}
gdb_assert {$foo_cold_offset <= 10000} "offset to foo_cold is not too large"
# Likewise, verify that second address shown by "info line" is at
# and offset from foo instead of foo_cold.
gdb_test "info line *foo_cold" "starts at address $hex <foo_cold> and ends at $hex <foo\[+-\].*?>.*"
}

series), these 6 failures should be seen:

Running gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/multidictionary.exp ...
ERROR: Couldn't load multidictionary into gdb.
=== gdb Summary ===
nr of unresolved testcases 1
...
The multidictionary test-case needs -readnow, and achieves this using:
...
gdb_spawn_with_cmdline_opts "-readnow"
gdb_load
...
but the initial gdb prompt is not read. Usually, the following gdb_load
command accidentally consumes that initial prompt (at the gdb_expect for the
kill command in gdb_file_cmd). But under high load, that doesn't happen and
we run into the error.
Fix this by consuming the initial gdb prompt after spawning gdb.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

GDB is not able to execute "step" command on function calls of Armv8-M cmse secure entry functions.
Everytime GNU linker come across definition of any cmse secure entry function in object file(s),
it creates two new instructions secure gateway (sg) and original branch destination (b.w),
place those two instructions in ".gnu.sgstubs" section of executable.
Any function calls to these cmse secure entry functions is re-directed through secure gateway (sg)
present in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
Example:
Following is a function call to cmse secure entry function "foo":
...
bl xxxx <foo> --->(a)
...
<foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr}
GNU linker on finding out "foo" is a cmse secure entry function, created sg and b.w instructions and
place them in ".gnu.sgstubs" section (marked by c).
The "bl" instruction (marked by a) which is a call to cmse secure entry function is modified by GNU linker
(as marked by b) and call flow is re-directly through secure gateway (sg) in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
...
bl yyyy <foo> ---> (b)
...
section .gnu.sgstubs: ---> (c)
yyyy <foo>
yyyy: sg // secure gateway
b.w xxxx <__acle_se_foo> // original_branch_dest
...
0000xxxx <__acle_se_foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr} ---> (d)
On invoking GDB, when the control is at "b" and we pass "step" command, the pc returns "yyyy"
(sg address) which is a trampoline and which does not exist in source code. So GDB jumps
to next line without jumping to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
The above details are published on the Arm website [1], please refer to section 5.4 (Entry functions)
and section 3.4.4 (C level development flow of secure code).

This patch fixes above problem by returning target pc "xxxx" to GDB on executing "step"
command at "b", so that the control jumps to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_cmse_entry): New function.
(arm_is_sgstubs_section): New function.
(arm_skip_stub): Add call to arm_skip_cmse_entry function.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/arm-cmse-sgstubs.c: New test.
* gdb.arch/arm-cmse-sgstubs.exp: New file.

When running gdb.mi/mi-complete.exp in conjunction with:
...
$ stress -c $(($(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -c "^processor") + 1))
...
we get less than 50% full passes:
...
$ for n in $(seq 1 100); do \
make V=1 -O check \
'RUNTESTFLAGS=gdb.mi/mi-complete.exp --target_board=unix'; \
done 2>&1 \
| grep "expected passes" | sort | uniq -c
45 # of expected passes 7
9 # of expected passes 8
46 # of expected passes 9
...
A diff between a passing and failing gdb.log shows this difference:
...
-&"set max-completions 1\n"
2-complete br
+&"set max-completions 1\n"
...
The problem is that the test-case issues the "set max-completion <n>" command,
and without waiting for the output issues a next command, and tries to parse
the results of both commands, expecting a specific interleaving of the various
output streams.
Fix the FAIL by waiting for the result of the "set max-completion <n>" command
before issuing another command.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
