Shahab Vahedi pointed out that the patch to remove
gdb/testsuite/configure regressed the site.exp creation a bit -- it
left an unresolved configure substitution. Andrew Burgess pointed out
that the patch removed the call to ACX_NONCANONICAL_TARGET, which
caused this problem.
This patch adds ACX_NONCANONICAL_TARGET to gdb's configure, and fixes
the bug.

With -fgnat-encodings=minimal, an internal version (these patches will
be upstreamed in the near future) of the Ada compiler can emit DWARF
for an array where the bound comes from a variable, like:
<1><12a7>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_array_type)
<12a8> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1ae9): pck__my_array
[...]
<2><12b4>: Abbrev Number: 8 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<12b5> DW_AT_type : <0x1294>
<12b9> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x1277>
With the upper bound DIE being:
<1><1277>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable)
<1278> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1a4d): pck__my_length___U
<127c> DW_AT_type : <0x128f>
<1280> DW_AT_external : 1
<1280> DW_AT_artificial : 1
<1280> DW_AT_declaration : 1
Note that the variable is just a declaration -- in this situation, the
variable comes from another compilation unit, and must be found when
trying to compute the array bound.
This patch adds a new PROP_VARIABLE_NAME kind, to enable this search.
This same scenario can occur with DW_OP_GNU_variable_value, so this
patch adds support for that as well.

In `expression::evaluate (...)' there is a call to `inferior_thread
()' that is guarded by `target_has_execution ()':
struct value *
expression::evaluate (struct type *expect_type, enum noside noside)
{
gdb::optional<enable_thread_stack_temporaries> stack_temporaries;
if (target_has_execution ()
&& language_defn->la_language == language_cplus
&& !thread_stack_temporaries_enabled_p (inferior_thread ()))
stack_temporaries.emplace (inferior_thread ());
The `target_has_execution ()' guard maps onto `inf->pid' and the
`inferior_thread ()' call assumes that `current_thread_' is set to
something meaningful:
struct thread_info*
inferior_thread (void)
{
gdb_assert (current_thread_ != nullptr);
return current_thread_;
}
In other words, it is assumed that if `inf->pid' is set then
`current_thread_' must also be set. This does not hold at the point
where inferior exit observers are notified:
- `generic_mourn_inferior (...)'
- `switch_to_no_thread ()'
- `current_thread_ = nullptr;'
- `exit_inferior (...)'
- `gdb::observers::inferior_exit.notify (...)'
- `inf->pid = 0'
The inferior exit notification means that a Python handler can get a
chance to run while `current_thread' has been cleared and the
`inf->pid' has not been cleared. Since the Python handler can call any
GDB command with `gdb.execute(...)' (in my case `gdb.execute("set
$_a=0")' we can end up evaluating expressions and asserting in
`evaluate_subexp (...)'.
This patch adds a test in `evaluate_subexp (...)' to check the global
`inferior_ptid' which is reset at the same time as `current_thread_'.
Checking `inferior_ptid' at the same time as `target_has_execution ()'
seems to be a common pattern:
$ git grep -n -e inferior_ptid --and -e target_has_execution
gdb/breakpoint.c:2998: && (inferior_ptid == null_ptid || !target_has_execution ()))
gdb/breakpoint.c:3054: && (inferior_ptid == null_ptid || !target_has_execution ()))
gdb/breakpoint.c:4587: if (inferior_ptid == null_ptid || !target_has_execution ())
gdb/infcmd.c:360: if (inferior_ptid != null_ptid && target_has_execution ())
gdb/infcmd.c:2380: /* FIXME: This should not really be inferior_ptid (or target_has_execution).

We currently make use of the -J option to gfortran in order that
compiled modules should be placed in the correct output directory.
Obviously different compilers, e.g. flang, will have different options
to achieve the same result.
This commit makes it so we only add the -J flag when using a gcc
based (i.e. gfortran) compiler.
I had a look through the flang help page and tried a few likely
looking options, but couldn't find anything that seemed to do the same
thing, so, for now, I'm only adding an extra option when compiling
with gfortran.
This does mean that any compiler other than gfortran might run into
problems if running the testsuite in parallel due to modules of the
same name all being written to the same directory, and so possibly
overwriting each other.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_compile): Only add the -J option when using a
gcc based Fortran compiler, for example, flang does not support
this option.

There is no default method for
gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid, so calling it
unconditionally for fork events triggered an assertion failure on
platforms that do not support displaced stepping. To fix, only invoke
the method if the gdbarch supports displaced stepping.
Note that not all gdbarches support both displaced stepping and fork
events, so gdbarch validation does not require
gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid for any gdbarch supporting
displaced stepping. However, the internal assertion in
gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid should catch any gdbarches
which do support both but fail to provide this method.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Only call
gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid if
gdbarch_supports_displaced_stepping is true.

I didn't see a strong reason to have a separate configure script in
gdb/testsuite, so this patch removes it. The few relevant configury
bits are moved into gdb's configure script. Some of the old
testsuite/configure script (e.g., the header check) is dead code.
This also adds a Makefile rule to rebuild lib/pdtrace. This was
missing from the old code.
'read1' is now a dependency of check-read1, rather than extra code at
configure time.
Finally, the old "ENABLE_LIBCTF" subst in gdb/configure was not used;
nor was the variable defined, so this was always empty. However, the
lower-case variant was used by the testsuite, so this patch renames
the subst.

Consider the test-case contained in this patch, compiled for c using gcc-10:
...
$ gcc-10 -x c src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.cp/cold-clone.cc -O2 -g -Wall -Wextra
...
When setting a breakpoint on foo, we get one breakpoint location:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex "b foo"
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400560: file cold-clone.cc, line 28.
...
However, when we compile for c++ instead, we get two breakpoint locations:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex "b foo" -ex "info break"
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400430: foo. (2 locations)
Num Type Disp Enb Address What
1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE>
1.1 y 0x0000000000400430 in foo() at cold-clone.cc:30
1.2 y 0x0000000000400560 in foo() at cold-clone.cc:28
...
The additional breakpoint location at 0x400430 corresponds to the cold clone:
...
$ nm a.out | grep foo
0000000000400560 t _ZL3foov
0000000000400430 t _ZL3foov.cold
...
which demangled looks like this:
...
$ nm -C a.out | grep foo
0000000000400560 t foo()
0000000000400430 t foo() [clone .cold]
...
[ Or, in the case of the cc1 mentioned in PR23710:
...
$ nm cc1 | grep do_rpo_vn.*cold
000000000058659d t \
_ZL9do_rpo_vnP8functionP8edge_defP11bitmap_headbb.cold.138
$ nm -C cc1 | grep do_rpo_vn.*cold
000000000058659d t \
do_rpo_vn(function*, edge_def*, bitmap_head*, bool, bool) [clone .cold.138]
... ]
The cold clone is a part of the function that is split off from the rest of
the function because it's considered cold (not frequently executed). So while
the symbol points to code that is part of a function, it doesn't point to a
function entry, so the desirable behaviour for "break foo" is to ignore this
symbol.
When compiling for c, the symbol "foo.cold" is entered as minimal symbol
with the search name "foo.cold", and the lookup using "foo" fails to find that
symbol.
But when compiling for c++, the symbol "foo.cold" is entered as minimal symbol
with both the mangled and demangled name, and for the demangled name
"foo() [clone .cold]" we get the search name "foo" (because
cp_search_name_hash stops hashing at '('), and the lookup using "foo" succeeds.
Fix this by recognizing the cold clone suffix and returning false for such a
minimal symbol in msymbol_is_function.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

I spotted that 'maint selftest' with an executable loaded into GDB,
would (when GDB was compiled for all targets) crash GDB. I fixed this
with a commit to bfd:
commit 427e4066afd13d1bf52c849849475f536e285d66
Date: Thu May 20 09:16:41 2021 +0100
gdb/bfd: avoid crash when architecture is forced to csky or riscv
However, this issue was not spotted as we currently only run 'maint
selftest' without an executable loaded.
This commit extends the testsuite to run 'maint selftest' both with
and without an executable loaded into GDB.
Currently, when no executable is loaded into GDB all of the selftest
pass (i.e. the fail count is 0), however, when running with an
executable loaded, I am seeing 1 failure (on an x86-64 GNU/Linux
host).
This failure is from the ARM disassembler tests, it appears that the
disassembler somehow gets itself into a state where it thinks it is in
thumb mode; when running the same test without an executable loaded
this doesn't happen.
This commit doesn't fix the ARM disassembler issue, but I thought it
was worth adding this anyway, as this will spot if GDB again starts to
crash when 'maint selftest' is run.

This commit adds support for bare metal core dumps on the ARM target,
and is based off of this patch submitted to the mailing list:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-October/172845.html
Compared to the version linked above this version is updated to take
account of recent changes to the core dump infrastructure in GDB,
there is now more shared infrastructure for core dumping within GDB,
and also some common bare metal core dumping infrastructure. As a
result this patch is smaller than the original proposed patch.
Further, the original patch included some unrelated changes to the
simulator that have been removed from this version.
I have written a ChangeLog entry as the original patch was missing
one.
I have done absolutely no testing of this patch. It is based on the
original submitted patch, which I assume was tested, but after my
modifications things might have been broken, however, the original
patch author has tested this version and reported it as being good:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-May/178900.html
The core dump format is based around generating an ELF containing
sections for the writable regions of memory that a user could be
using. Which regions are dumped rely on GDB's existing common core
dumping code, GDB will attempt to figure out the stack and heap as
well as copying out writable data sections as identified by the
original ELF.
Register information is added to the core dump using notes, just as it
is for Linux of FreeBSD core dumps. The note types used consist of
the 2 basic types you would expect in a OS based core dump,
NT_PRPSINFO, NT_PRSTATUS, along with the architecture specific
NT_ARM_VFP note.
The data layouts for each note type are described below, in all cases,
all padding fields should be set to zero.
Note NT_PRPSINFO is optional. Its data layout is:
struct prpsinfo_t
{
uint8_t padding[28];
char fname[16];
char psargs[80];
}
Field 'fname' - null terminated string consisting of the basename of
(up to the fist 15 characters of) the executable. Any additional
space should be set to zero. If there's no executable name then
this field can be set to all zero.
Field 'psargs' - a null terminated string up to 80 characters in
length. Any additional space should be filled with zero. This
field contains the full executable path and any arguments passed
to the executable. If there's nothing sensible to write in this
field then fill it with zero.
Note NT_PRSTATUS is required, its data layout is:
struct prstatus_t
{
uint8_t padding_1[12];
uint16_t sig;
uint8_t padding_2[10];
uint32_t thread_id;
uint8_t padding_3[44];
uint32_t gregs[18];
}
Field 'sig' - the signal that stopped this thread. It's implementation
defined what this field actually means. Within GDB this will be
the signal number that the remote target reports as the stop
reason for this thread.
Field 'thread_is' - the thread id for this thread. It's implementation
defined what this field actually means. Within GDB this will be
thread thread-id that is assigned to each remote thread.
Field 'gregs' - holds the general purpose registers $a1 through to $pc
at indices 0 to 15. At index 16 the program status register.
Index 17 should be set to zero.
Note NT_ARM_VFP is optional, its data layout is:
armvfp_t
{
uint64_t regs[32];
uint32_t fpscr;
}
Field 'regs' - holds the 32 d-registers 0 to 31 in order.
Field 'fpscr' - holds the fpscr register.
The rules for ordering the notes is the same as for Linux. The
NT_PRSTATUS note must come before any other notes about additional
register sets. And for multi-threaded targets all registers for a
single thread should be grouped together. This is because only
NT_PRSTATUS includes a thread-id, all additional register notes after
a NT_PRSTATUS are assumed to belong to the same thread until a
different NT_PRSTATUS is seen.

Consider the following chain of events:
* GDB is performing an inferior call, and
* the inferior calls longjmp, and
* GDB detects that the longjmp has completed, stops, and enters
check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy (in breakpoint.c), and
* GDB tries to unwind the stack in order to check that the dummy
frame (setup for the inferior call) is still on the stack, but
* The unwind fails, possibly due to missing debug information, so
* GDB incorrectly concludes that the inferior has longjmp'd past the
dummy frame, and so deletes the dummy frame, including the dummy
frame breakpoint, but then
* The inferior continues, and eventually returns to the dummy frame,
which is usually (always?) on the stack, the inferior starts
trying to execute the random contents of the stack, this results
in undefined behaviour.
This situation is already warned about in the comment on the function
check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy where we say:
You should call this function only at places where it is safe to currently
unwind the whole stack. Failed stack unwind would discard live dummy
frames.
The warning here is fine, the problem is that, even though we call the
function from a location within GDB where we hope to be able to
unwind, sometime the state of the inferior means that the unwind will
not succeed.
This commit tries to improve the situation by adding the following
additional check; when GDB fails to find the dummy frame on the stack,
instead of just assuming that the dummy frame can be garbage
collected, first find the stop_reason for the last frame on the stack.
If this stop_reason indicates that the stack unwinding may have failed
then we assume that the dummy frame is still in use. However, if the
last frame's stop_reason indicates that the stack unwind completed
successfully then we can be confident that the dummy frame is no
longer in use, and we garbage collect it.
Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux.

Add the all_bp_locations_at_addr function, which returns a range of all
breakpoint locations at exactly the given address. This lets us
replace:
bp_location *loc, **loc2p, *locp;
ALL_BP_LOCATIONS_AT_ADDR (loc2p, locp, address)
{
loc = *loc2p;
// use loc
}
with
for (bp_location *loc : all_bp_locations_at_addr (address))
{
// use loc
}
The all_bp_locations_at_addr returns a bp_locations_at_addr_range
object, which is really just a wrapper around two std::vector iterators
representing the beginning and end of the interesting range. These
iterators are found when constructing the bp_locations_at_addr_range
object using std::equal_range, which seems a perfect fit for this use
case.
One thing I noticed about the current ALL_BP_LOCATIONS_AT_ADDR is that
if you call it with a NULL start variable, that variable gets filled in
and can be re-used for subsequent iterations. This avoids the cost of
finding the start of the interesting range again for the subsequent
iterations. This happens in build_target_command_list, for example.
The same effect can be achieved by storing the range in a local
variable, it can be iterated on multiple times.
Note that the original comment over ALL_BP_LOCATIONS_AT_ADDR says:
Iterates through locations with address ADDRESS for the currently
selected program space.
I don't see anything restricting the iteration to a given program space,
as we iterate over all bp_locations, which as far as I know contains all
breakpoint locations, regardless of the program space. So I just
dropped that part of the comment.

Add the all_bp_locations function to replace the ALL_BP_LOCATIONS macro.
For simplicity, all_bp_locations simply returns a const reference to the
bp_locations vector. But the callers just treat it as a range to
iterate on, so if we ever change the breakpoint location storage, we can
change the all_bp_locations function to return some other range type,
and the callers won't need to be changed.

Change the type of the global location list, bp_locations, to be an
std::vector.
Adjust the users to deal with that, mostly in an obvious way by using
.data() and .size(). The user where it's slightly less obvious is
update_global_location_list. There, we std::move the old location list
out of the global vector into a local variable. The code to fill the
new location list gets simpler, as it's now simply using .push_back(),
no need to count the locations beforehand.
In the rest of update_global_location_list, the code is adjusted to work
with indices instead of `bp_location **`, to iterate on the location
list. I believe it's a bit easier to understand this way. But more
importantly, when we build with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG, the operator[] of the
vector does bound checking, so we will know if we ever access past a
vector size (which we won't if we access by raw pointer). I think that
work can further be done to make that function easier to understand,
notably find better names than "loc" and "loc2" for variables, but
that's work for later.

Same idea as the previous patches, but to replace the ALL_TRACEPOINTS
macro. Define a new filtered_iterator that only keeps the breakpoints
for which is_tracepoint returns true (just like the macro did).
I would have like to make it so tracepoint_range yields some
`tracepoint *` instead of some `breakpoint *`, that would help simplify
the callers, who wouldn't have to do the cast themselves. But I didn't
find an obvious way to do it. It can always be added later.
It turns out there is already an all_tracepoints function, which returns
a vector containing all the breakpoints that are tracepoint. Remove it,
most users will just work seamlessly with the new function. The
exception is start_tracing, which iterated multiple times on the vector.
Adapt this one so it iterates multiple times on the returned range.
Since the existing users of all_tracepoints are outside of breakpoint.c,
this requires defining all_tracepoints and a few supporting types in
breakpoint.h. So, move breakpoint_iterator from breakpoint.c to
breakpoint.h.

while iterating. The new range type simply wraps the range added by the
previous patch with basic_safe_range.

spot where it's more tricky to remove, in the
check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy function. More thought it

An earlier patch in this series fixed a dependency problem between two
_initialize functions. That problem was uncovered by reversing the
order of the initialize function calls.
In short, symtab.c tried to add the alias "maintenance
flush-symbol-cache" for the command "maintenance flush symbol-cache".
Because the "maintenance flush" prefix command was not yet created (it
happens in maint.c, initialized later in this reversed order), the
add_alias_cmd function returned NULL. That result was passed to
deprecate_cmd, which didn't expected that value, and that caused a
segfault. This was fixed by changing alias creation functions to take
the target command as a cmd_list_element, instead of by name.
This patch adds a runtime option to reverse the order of the initialize
calls at will. I chose to use an environment variable for this, over a
parameter (even a "maintenance" one), because:
- The init functions are called before the early init commands are
executed, so we could use -iex to turn this mode on early enough.
This is obvious when you remember that commands / parameters are
created by initialize funcitions :).
- This is not something anybody would want to tweak after startup
anyway.

I would like to modify how the init.c file is generated (its content).
But as it is, a shell script with multiple sed invocations in a Makefile
target, it's not very maintainable. Replace that with a shell script
that does the same, but in a more readable way.
The Makefile rule uses the "-" prefix in front of the for loop, I
presume to ignore any error coming from the fact that xml-builtin.c and
cp-name-parser.c are not found in the srcdir (they are generated source
files). I prefer not to blindly ignore errors, so filter these files
out of INIT_FILES instead (we already filter out other files).
There are no expected meaningful changes to the generated init.c file.
Just the _initialize_all_file declaration that is moved down and "void"
in parenthesis that is removed.
The new regular expression is a bit tighter than the existing one, it
requires the init function to be followed by exactly ` ()`. Update
bpf-tdep.c accordingly.

The alias creation functions currently accept a name to specify the
target command. They pass this to add_alias_cmd, which needs to lookup
the target command by name.
Given that:
- We don't support creating an alias for a command before that command
exists.
- We always use add_info_alias just after creating that target command,
and therefore have access to the target command's cmd_list_element.
... change add_com_alias to accept the target command as a
cmd_list_element (other functions are done in subsequent patches). This
ensures we don't create the alias before the target command, because you
need to get the cmd_list_element from somewhere when you call the alias
creation function. And it avoids an unecessary command lookup. So it
seems better to me in every aspect.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* command.h (add_com_alias): Accept target as
cmd_list_element. Update callers.
