Without this patch, when doing a software single step, with for example
a conditional breakpoint, gdbserver would wrongly avance the pc of
breakpoint_len and skips an instruction.
This is due to gdbserver assuming that it's hardware single stepping.
When it resumes from the breakpoint address it expects the trap to be
caused by ptrace and if it's rather caused by a software breakpoint
it assumes this is a permanent breakpoint and that it needs to skip
over it.
However when software single stepping, this breakpoint is legitimate as
it's the reinsert breakpoint gdbserver has put in place to break at
the next instruction. Thus gdbserver wrongly advances the pc and skips
an instruction.
This patch fixes this behavior so that gdbserver checks if it is a
reinsert breakpoint from software single stepping. If it is it won't
advance the pc. And if there's no reinsert breakpoint there we assume
then that it's a permanent breakpoint and advance the pc.
Here's a commented log of what would happen before and after the fix on
gdbserver :
/* Here there is a conditional breakpoint at 0x10428 that needs to be
stepped over. */
Need step over [LWP 11204]? yes, found breakpoint at 0x10428
...
/* e7f001f0 is a breakpoint instruction on arm
Here gdbserver writes the software breakpoint we would like to hit
*/
Writing e7f001f0 to 0x0001042c in process 11204
...
Resuming lwp 11220 (continue, signal 0, stop not expected)
pending reinsert at 0x10428
stop pc is 00010428
continue from pc 0x10428
...
/* Here gdbserver hit the software breakpoint that was in place
for the step over */
stop pc is 0001042c
pc is 0x1042c
step-over for LWP 11220.11220 executed software breakpoint
Finished step over.
Could not find fast tracepoint jump at 0x10428 in list (reinserting).
/* Here gdbserver writes back the original instruction */
Writing e50b3008 to 0x0001042c in process 11220
Step-over finished.
Need step over [LWP 11220]? No
/* Here because gdbserver assumes this is a permenant breakpoint it advances
the pc of breakpoint_len, in this case 4 bytes, so we have just skipped
the instruction that was written back here :

*/
stop pc is 00010430
pc is 0x10430
Need step over [LWP 11220]? No, no breakpoint found at 0x10430
Proceeding, no step-over needed
proceed_one_lwp: lwp 11220
stop pc is 00010430
This patch fixes this situation and we get the right behavior :
Writing e50b3008 to 0x0001042c in process 11245
Hit a gdbserver breakpoint.
Hit a gdbserver breakpoint.
Step-over finished.
proceeding all threads.
Need step over [LWP 11245]? No
stop pc is 0001042c
pc is 0x1042c
Need step over [LWP 11245]? No, no breakpoint found at 0x1042c
Proceeding, no step-over needed
proceed_one_lwp: lwp 11245
stop pc is 0001042c
pc is 0x1042c
Resuming lwp 11245 (continue, signal 0, stop not expected)
stop pc is 0001042c
continue from pc 0x1042c
It also works if the value at 0x0001042c is a permanent breakpoint.
If so gdbserver will finish the step over, remove the reinserted breakpoint,
resume at that location and on the next SIGTRAP gdbserver will trigger
the advance PC condition as reinsert_breakpoint_inserted_here will be false.
I also tested this against bp-permanent.exp on arm (with a work in progress
software single step patchset) without any regressions.
It's also tested against x86 bp-permanent.exp without any regression.
So both software and hardware single step are tested.
No regressions on Ubuntu 14.04 on ARMv7 and x86.

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Fix pc advance condition.
* mem-break.c (reinsert_breakpoint_inserted_here): New function.

When manually stepping over a permanent breakpoint on ARM we need to fetch the
right breakpoint size based on the current instruction set used.
Since this is not encoded in the stop_pc, the instruction mode needs to be
fetched from the CPSR register.
This is done by introducing a new target operation called :
breakpoint_kind_from_current_state.
For other targets that do not need this, breakpoint_kind_from_pc is used.
No regressions, tested on ubuntu 14.04 ARMv7 and x86.

When testing with "target remote" with "maint set target-non-stop on",
we regressions like this:

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/continue-pending-after-query.exp: iter 1: continue until exit
Notice the "Packet received: W0;process:2b51" followed by
vStopped->OK.
That means the process exit notification was successfully sent to GDB
and GDB fetched it. That makes gdbserver exit, in
server.c:process_serial_event:
if (!extended_protocol && have_ran && !target_running ())
{
/* In non-stop, defer exiting until GDB had a chance to query
the whole vStopped list (until it gets an OK). */
if (QUEUE_is_empty (notif_event_p, notif_stop.queue))
{
/* Be transparent when GDB is connected through stdio -- no
need to spam GDB's console. */
if (!remote_connection_is_stdio ())
fprintf (stderr, "GDBserver exiting\n");
remote_close ();
exit (0);
}
}
However, GDB is still busy processing an earlier "no-resumed" event,
and sends a "Hg" packet, which errors out with "Remote connection
closed". IOW, it's not enough to wait for GDB to query the whole
vStopped list, gdbserver needs to wait until the exit event is really
processed.
The fix is to make gdbserver not disconnect until gdb does.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora, native gdbserver, remote + extended-remote +
with and without "maint set target-non-stop on".
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

* remote-utils.c (readchar): Don't print "Got EOF" unless
debugging gdbserver.
* server.c (captured_main): Exit gdbserver if gdb disconnects when

logic that exits gdbserver in "target remote" mode.

Running killed-outside.exp in with "maint set target-non-stop on"
hangs currently. This test has the inferior process die with a
SIGKILL while stopped. gdbserver gets a SIGCHLD and reacts by
retrieveing the SIGKILL events out of waitpid. But because the
process is not resumed from GDB's perspective, the event is left
pending. When GDB resumes the process afterwards, the process is not
really resumed because it already has the event pending. But nothing
wakes up the event loop to consume the event.
Handle this in the same way nat/linux-nat.c:linux_nat_resume handles
this.

Say GDB wants to access the inferior process's memory. The current
remote general thread is 3, but GDB's switched to thread 2. Because
both threads are of the same process, GDB skips making the remote
thread be thread 2 as well (sending an Hg packet) before accessing
memory (remote.c:set_general_process). However, if thread 3 has
exited meanwhile, thread 3 no longer exists on the server and
gdbserver points current_thread to NULL. The result is the memory
access fails, even through the process still exists.
Fix this by making prepare_to_access memory select the thread to
access memory through.

Testing with "maint set target-non-stop on" causes regressions in
tests that rely on TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which isn't modelled on
the RSP. In real all-stop, gdbserver detects the situation and
reporst error to GDB, and so the tests (e.g.,
gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp) at fail quickly. But with
"maint set target-non-stop on", GDB instead hangs forever waiting for
a stop reply that never comes, and so the tests take longer to time
out.
This adds a new "N" stop reply packet that maps 1-1 to
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED.

When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

Testing with the extended-remote board with "maint set target-non-stop
on" shows a dprintf-non-stop.exp regression. The issue is simply that
the test is expecting output that is only valid for the native target:
native:
[process 8676] #1 stopped.
remote:
[Thread 8900.8900] #1 stopped.
In order to expose this without "maint set target-non-stop on", this

With "maint set target-non-stop on", the attach tests occasionally
crash gdbserver.
Basically, gdb attaches with vAttach;PID, and then shortly after reads
the xml target description for that process, to figure out the
process' architecture. On the gdbserver side, the target description
is only filled in when the first process/thread in the thread group
reports its initial PTRACE_ATTACH SIGSTOP. So if GDB is fast enough,
it can read the target description _before_ that initial stop, and
then gdbserver dies dereferencing a NULL tdesc pointer.

There's currently no non-stop equivalent of the all-stop ^C (\003)
"packet" that GDB sends when a ctrl-c is pressed while a foreground
command is active. There's vCont;t, but that's defined to cause a
"signal 0" stop.
This fixes many tests that type ^C, when testing with extended-remote
with "maint set target-non-stop on". E.g.:

This fixes a gdbserver crash when running
gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp with "maint set target-non-stop on".
The problem is that qSymbol is called when gdbserver has
current_thread == NULL.

* gdbthread.h (find_any_thread_of_pid): Declare.

When running with "maint set target-non-stop on", and in all-stop
mode, nothing is stopping all threads after attaching. vAttach in
non-stop can leave all threads running and GDB has to explicitly pause
them.
This is not visible with the native target, as in that case, attach
always stops all threads (the core re-resumes them in case of
"attach&").
In addition, it's not defined which thread manages to report the
initial attach stop, so always pick the lowest one (otherwise
multi-attach.exp regresses).
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infcmd.c (attach_post_wait): If the target is always in non-stop
mode, and the UI is in all-stop mode, stop all threads and pick
the one with lowest number as current.
|
|
This is the first pass at implementing support for all-stop mode
running against the remote target using the non-stop variant of the
protocol.
The trickiest part here is the initial connection setup/synching. We
need to fetch all inferiors' target descriptions etc. before stopping
threads, because stop_all_threads needs to read the threads' registers
(to record each thread's stop_pc). But OTOH, the initial inferior
setup (target_post_attach, post_create_inferior, etc.), only works
correctly if the inferior is stopped... So I've split that initial
setup part from attach_command_post_wait to a separate function, and
added a "still needs setup" flag to the inferior structure. This is
similar to gdbserver/linux-low.c's handling of discovering the
process's target description). Then if on connection all threads of
the remote inferior are running, when we go about stopping them, as
soon as they stop we call setup_inferior, from within
stop_all_threads.
Also, in all-stop, we need to process all the initial stop replies to
learn about all the pending signal the threads may already be stopped
for, and pick the one to report as current. This is exposed by
gdb.threads/reconnect-signal.exp.

Testing with "maint set target-non-stop on" makes mi-nonstop.exp run
with the extended-remote board. That reveals that mi-nonstop.exp is
using the wrong predicate to check for "using remote protocol".
This is not visible today because non-stop tests all fail to run with
extended-remote board, because they spawn gdb and then do "set
non-stop on". However, with that board, gdb connects to the gdbserver
from within mi_gdb_start, and changing non-stop when already connected
doesn't work. Fix that by instead enabling non-stop mode on gdb's
command line.

After the fork, GDB will physically remove the breakpoints from the child
process (in frame #14), but at that time, GDB doesn't create an inferior
yet for child, but inferior_ptid is set to child's ptid (in frame #13).
In aarch64_point_is_aligned, we'll get the regcache of current_lwp_ptid
to determine if the current process is 32-bit or 64-bit, so the inferior
can't be found, and the internal error is caused.
I don't find a better fix other than not checking alignment on removing
breakpoint.

Hi,

because GDB prints two frames-invalid annotation but the test expects
only one.

Note I also see the fail on Debian-s390x-m64 too.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q4/msg07291.html
The test shouldn't only expect one frames-invalid annotation, because
there can be multiple times of stop/resume before the user visible
stop. Ulrich did something similar before
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00118.html

I couldn't find a test that verified the thread name functionality, so I
created a new one.
A target board can define gdb,no_thread_names if it doesn't support thread
names and wants to skip the tests that uses them.
This test has been made with Linux in mind. Not all platforms use
pthread_setname_np to set the thread name, but some #ifdefs can be added
later in order to support other platforms.
Tested on x86-64 Ubuntu 14.04, native and remote.

Since this code path returns a string owned by the target (we don't know how

... like the kernel does.
gcore-thread.exp has a check to make sure the signalled thread is the
current thread after loading the core back, but that just works by
accident, because the signalled thread happened to be the last thread
on the thread list, and gdb currently iterates over threads in reverse
order.
So this fixes gcore-thread.exp once we start walking threads in
ascending number.

When trying to save fast tracepoints to file, gdb returns internal failure:
gdb/breakpoint.c:13446: internal-error: unhandled tracepoint type 27
A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable.
And no file including the fast tracepoints definition is created.
The patch also extends save-trace.exp to test saving tracepoint with a
fast tracepoint in there. Note that because this test doesn't actually
inserts the tracepoints in the program, we can run it with targets that
don't actually support fast tracepoints (or tracepoints at all).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.c (tracepoint_print_recreate): Fix logic error
if -> else if.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.trace/actions.c: Include trace-common.h.
(main): Add a location for a fast tracepoint.
* gdb.trace/save-trace.exp: Set a fast tracepoint in addition to
the normal tracepoints.
(gdb_verify_tracepoints): Adjust number of expected tracepoints.
|
|
Some code is duplicated, to run the test twice with absolute and
relative paths, so I factored it out in a few procs. It uses
with_test_prefix to differentiate between test runs.
I replaced usages of "save-tracepoints" with "save tracepoint", since
the former is deprecated.
I also removed the "10.x", as it doesn't make much sense anymore. It
isn't used in general in the testsuite, and I don't think it's really
useful.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* save-trace.exp: Factor out code to these...
(gdb_save_tracepoints): New.
(gdb_load_tracepoints): New.
(do_save_load_test): New.

The comment for the code in question says:
/* If the minimal symbol has a zero size, save it
but keep scanning backwards looking for one with
a non-zero size. A zero size may mean that the
symbol isn't an object or function (e.g. a
label), or it may just mean that the size was not
specified. */
As written, the code in question will only scan past the first symbol
of zero size. My change fixes the implementation to match the
comment.
Having this correct is important when the compiler generates several
local labels that are left in place by the linker. (I've been told
that the linker should eliminate these symbols, but I know of one
architecture for which this is not happening.)
I've created a test case called asmlabel.c. It's pretty simple:
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
asm ("L0:");
v = 0;
asm ("L1:");
v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
asm ("L2:");
v = 2; /* set L2 breakpoint here */
return 0;
}
If breakpoints are placed on the lines indicated by the comments,
this is the behavior of GDB built without my patch:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, L1 () at asmlabel.c:26
26 v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
Note that L1 appears as the function instead of main. This is not
what we want to happen. With my patch in place, we see the desired
behavior instead:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Breakpoint 2, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffdb88) at asmlabel.c:26
26 v = 1; /* set L1 breakpoint here */
gdb/ChangeLog:

One of our users reported an internal error using the "bt full"
command. In their situation, reproducing involved the following
scenario:
(gdb) frame 1
(gdb) bt full
#0 0xf7783430 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
No symbol table info available.
#1 0xf5550aeb in waitpid () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81
No locals.
[...]
#6 0x0fe83139 in xxxx (arg=...)
[...some locals printed, and then...]
<S17b> =
[...]/dwarf2loc.c:364: internal-error: dwarf_expr_frame_base: Assertion
`framefunc != NULL' failed.
As shown above, the error happens while GDB is trying to print the value
of <S17b>, which is a local string internally generated by the compiler.
For that, it finds that the array lives in memory, and therefore tries
to create a struct value for it via:
case DWARF_VALUE_MEMORY:
{
CORE_ADDR address = dwarf_expr_fetch_address (ctx, 0);
[...]
retval = value_at_lazy (type, address + byte_offset);
Unfortunately for us, TYPE happens to be an array whose bounds
are dynamic. More precisely, the bounds of our arrays are described
in the debugging info as being...
<4><2c1985e>: Abbrev Number: 33 (DW_TAG_subrange_type)
<2c1985f> DW_AT_type : <0x2c1989c>
<2c19863> DW_AT_lower_bound : <0x2c19835>
<2c19867> DW_AT_upper_bound : <0x2c19841>
... which are references to a pair of local variables. For instance,
the lower bound is a reference to the following DIE
<3><2c19835>: Abbrev Number: 32 (DW_TAG_variable)
<2c19836> DW_AT_name : [...]
<2c1983a> DW_AT_type : <0x2c198b4>
<2c1983e> DW_AT_artificial : 1
<2c1983e> DW_AT_location : 2 byte block: 91 58 (DW_OP_fbreg: -40)
As a result of the above, value_at_lazy indirectly triggers
a resolution of TYPE (via value_from_contents_and_address),
which means a resolution of TYPE's bounds, and as seen in
the DW_AT_location attribute above for our bounds, computing
the bound's location requires the frame (its location expression
uses DW_OP_fbreg).
Unfortunately for us, value_at_lazy does not get passed a frame,
we've lost the relevant frame when we try to resolve the array's
bounds. Instead, resolve_dynamic_range gets calls dwarf2_evaluate_property
with NULL as the frame:
static struct type *
resolve_dynamic_range (struct type *dyn_range_type,
struct property_addr_info *addr_stack)
{
[...]
if (dwarf2_evaluate_property (prop, NULL, addr_stack, &value))
^^^^
... which then handles this by using the selected frame instead:
if (frame == NULL && has_stack_frames ())
frame = get_selected_frame (NULL);
In our case, the selected frame happens to be frame #1, which is
a frame where we have a minimal amount of debugging info, and in
particular, no debug info for the function itself. And because of that,
when we try to determine the frame's base...
static void
dwarf_expr_frame_base (void *baton, const gdb_byte **start,
size_t * length)
{
struct dwarf_expr_baton *debaton = (struct dwarf_expr_baton *) baton;
const struct block *bl = get_frame_block (debaton->frame, NULL);
[...]
framefunc = block_linkage_function (bl);
... framefunc ends up being NULL, which triggers the assert
in that same function:
gdb_assert (framefunc != NULL);
This patches avoids the issue by temporarily setting the selected_frame
before printing the locals of each frames.
This patch also adds a small testcase, which reproduces the same
issue, but with a slightly different outcome:
(gdb) bt full
#0 0x000000000040049a in opaque_routine ()
No symbol table info available.
#1 0x0000000000400532 in main () at wrong_frame_bt_full-main.c:20
my_table_size = 3
my_table = <error reading variable my_table (frame address is not available.)>
With this patch, the output becomes:
(gdb) bt full
[...]
my_table = {0, 1, 2}

This crash is observable by debugging a threaded program on LynxOS.
On the GDB side, this is what we would see:
% gdb q
(gdb) target remote machine:4444
(gdb) break q.adb:6
(gdb) cont
[gdb hits breakpoint]
(gdb) cont
Remote connection closed <<<--- expected: [Inferior 1 (Remote target) exited normally]
On the gdbserver side, which was launched as usual:
% gdbserver --once :4444 q
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Ooops!
The problem happens while GDB is trying to handle the thread termination
event of the thread that hit the breakpoint. It started happening after
the following change was made:
commit 96e7a1eb6d09fda9e22e112e35e7d0085a8f4fd0
Date: Fri Oct 16 11:08:38 2015 -0400
Subject: gdbserver: Reset current_thread when the thread is removed.
Reset current_thread and make sure 'remove_process' is used
after all associated threads have been removed first.
More precisely:
. GDBserver receives the execution-resume order;
. lynx-low resumes it succesfully, and then relies on lynx_wait_1
to wait for the next event;
. We quickly receive one, which lynx_wait_1 analyzes to be
a "thread exit" event, and therefore does...
case SIGTHREADEXIT:
remove_thread (find_thread_ptid (new_ptid));
lynx_continue (new_ptid);
goto retry;
=> remove_thread causes current_thread to be set to NULL...
(that's the recent change mentioned above)
=> ... which causes problems during lynx_continue, because
it calls lynx_resume, which calls regcache_invalidate,
which unfortunately assumes that CURRENT_THREAD is not NULL:
void
regcache_invalidate (void)
{
/* Only update the threads of the current process. */
SEGV!--> int pid = ptid_get_pid (current_thread->entry.id);
find_inferior (&all_threads, regcache_invalidate_one, &pid);
}
Since the problem at hand is caused by trying to figure out which
inferior to reset the regcache for, and since lynx_resume actually
had that info, this patch fixes the problem by introducing a new
routine called regcache_invalidate_pid, which invalidates the cache
of the given pid; and then modifies lynx_resume use that new routine
rather than relying on regcache_invalidate to invalidate the regcache
of the expected inferior.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* regcache.h (regcache_invalidate_pid): Add declaration.
* regcache.c (regcache_invalidate_pid): New function, extracted
from regcache_invalidate.
(regcache_invalidate): Reimplement using regcache_invalidate_pid.
Add trivial documentation comment.
* lynx-low.c: Use regcache_invalidate_pid instead of
regcache_invalidate.

We noticed the following hang trying to run a program where one
of the subroutines we built without debugging info (opaque_routine):
$ gdb my_program
(gdb) break opaque_routine
(gdb) run
[...hangs...]
The problem comes from the fact that, at the breakpoint's address,
we have the following code:
=> 0x0000000000401994 <+4>: pop %rbp
At some point after hitting the breakpoint and stopping, GDB calls
amd64_windows_frame_decode_epilogue, which then gets stuck in the
following infinite loop:
| /* We don't care about the instruction deallocating the frame:
| if it hasn't been executed, the pc is still in the body,
| if it has been executed, the following epilog decoding will work. */
|
| /* First decode:
| - pop reg [41 58-5f] or [58-5f]. */
|
| while (1)
| {
| /* Read opcode. */
| if (target_read_memory (pc, &op, 1) != 0)
| return -1;
|
| if (op >= 0x40 && op <= 0x4f)
| {
| /* REX prefix. */
| rex = op;
|
| /* Read opcode. */
| if (target_read_memory (pc + 1, &op, 1) != 0)
| return -1;
| }
| else
| rex = 0;
|
| if (op >= 0x58 && op <= 0x5f)
| {
| /* pop reg */
| gdb_byte reg = (op & 0x0f) | ((rex & 1) << 3);
|
| cache->prev_reg_addr[amd64_windows_w2gdb_regnum[reg]] = cur_sp;
| cur_sp += 8;
| }
| else
| break;
|
| /* Allow the user to break this loop. This shouldn't happen as the
| number of consecutive pop should be small. */
| QUIT;
| }
Nothing in that loop updates PC, and therefore, because the instruction
we stopped at is a "pop", we keep looping forever doing the same thing
over and over!
This patch fixes the issue by advancing PC to the beginning of
the next instruction if the current one is a "pop reg" instruction.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* amd64-windows-tdep.c (amd64_windows_frame_decode_epilogue):
Increment PC in while loop skipping "pop reg" instructions.

The following issue has been observed on arm-android, trying to step
over the following line of code:
Put_Line (">>> " & Integer'Image (Message (I)));
Below is a copy of the GDB transcript:
(gdb) cont
Breakpoint 1, q.dump (message=...) at q.adb:11
11 Put_Line (">>> " & Integer'Image (Message (I)));
(gdb) next
0x00016000 in system.concat_2.str_concat_2 ()
The expected behavior for the "next" command is to step over
the call to Put_Line and stop at line 12:
(gdb) next
12 I := I + 1;
What happens during the next step is that the code for line 11
above make a call to system.concat_2.str_concat_2 (to implement
the '&' string concatenation operator) before making the call
to Put_Line. While stepping, GDB stops eventually stops at the
first instruction of that function, and fails to detect that
it's a function call from where we were before, and so decides
to stop stepping.
And the reason why it fails to detect that we landed inside a function
call is because it fails to unwind from that function:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00016000 in system.concat_2.str_concat_2 ()
#1 0x0001bc74 in ?? ()
Debugging GDB, I found that GDB decides to use the ARM unwind info
for that function, which contains the following data:
0x16000 <system__concat_2__str_concat_2>: 0x80acb0b0
Compact model index: 0
0xac pop {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r14}
0xb0 finish
0xb0 finish
But, in fact, using that data is wrong, in this case, because
it mentions a pop of 6 registers, and therefore hints at a frame
size of 24 bytes. The problem is that, because we're at the first
instruction of the function, the 6 registers haven't been pushed
to the stack yet. In other words, using the ARM unwind entry above,
GDB is tricked into thinking that the frame size is 24 bytes, and
that the return address (r14) is available on the stack.
One visible manifestation of this issue can been seen by looking
at the value of the stack pointer, and the frame's base address:
(gdb) p /x $sp
$2 = 0xbee427b0
(gdb) info frame
Stack level 0, frame at 0xbee427c8:
^^^^^^^^^^
||||||||||
The frame's base address should be equal to the value of the stack
pointer at entry. And you eventually get the correct frame address,
as well as the correct backtrace if you just single-step one additional
instruction, past the push:
(gdb) x /i $pc
=> 0x16000 <system__concat_2__str_concat_2>:
push {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, lr}
(gdb) stepi
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00016004 in system.concat_2.str_concat_2 ()
#1 0x00012b6c in q.dump (message=...) at q.adb:11
#2 0x00012c3c in q () at q.adb:19
Digging further, I found that GDB tries to use the ARM unwind info
only when sure that it is relevant, as explained in the following
comment:
/* The ARM exception table does not describe unwind information
for arbitrary PC values, but is guaranteed to be correct only
at call sites. We have to decide here whether we want to use
ARM exception table information for this frame, or fall back [...]
There is one case where it decides that the info is relevant,
described in the following comment:
/* We also assume exception information is valid if we're currently
blocked in a system call. The system library is supposed to
ensure this, so that e.g. pthread cancellation works.
For that, it just parses the instruction at the address it believes
to be the point of call, and matches it against an "svc" instruction.
For instance, for a non-thumb instruction, it is at...
get_frame_pc (this_frame) - 4
... and the code checking looks like the following.
if (safe_read_memory_integer (get_frame_pc (this_frame) - 4, 4,
byte_order_for_code, &insn)
&& (insn & 0x0f000000) == 0x0f000000 /* svc */)
exc_valid = 1;
However, the reason why this doesn't work in our case is that
because we are at the first instruction of a function in the innermost
frame. That frame can't possibly be making a call, and therefore
be stuck on a system call.
What the code above ends up doing is checking the instruction
just before the start of our function, which in our case is not
even an actual instruction, but unlucky for us, happens to match
the pattern it is looking for, thus leading GDB to improperly
trust the ARM unwinding data.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arm-tdep.c (arm_exidx_unwind_sniffer): Do not check for a frame
stuck on a system call if the given frame is the innermost frame.

Using the gdb.ada/var_rec_arr.exp test, where the program declares
an array of variant records...
type Record_Type (I : Small_Type := 0) is record
S : String (1 .. I);
end record;
type Array_Type is array (Integer range <>) of Record_Type;
... and then a variable A1 of type Array_Type, the following command
ocassionally trigger an internal error trying to allocate more memory
than we have left:
(gdb) ptype a1(1)
[...]/utils.c:1089: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
[...]
What happens is that recent versions of GNAT are able to generate
DWARF expressions for type Record_Type, and therefore the record's
DW_AT_byte_size is not a constant, which unfortunately breaks
an assumption made by dwarf2read.c:read_structure_type when it does:
attr = dwarf2_attr (die, DW_AT_byte_size, cu);
if (attr)
{
TYPE_LENGTH (type) = DW_UNSND (attr);
}
As a result of this, when ada_evaluate_subexp tries to create
a value_zero for a1(1) while processing the OP_FUNCALL operator
as part of evaluating the subscripting operation in no-side-effect
mode, we try to allocate a value with a bogus size, potentially
triggering the out-of-memory internal error.
This patch avoids this issue by setting the length to zero in
this case. Until we decide to start supporting dynamic type
lengths in GDB's type struct, and it's not clear yet that
this is worth the effort (see added comment), that's probably
the best we can do.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2read.c (read_structure_type): Set the type's length
to zero if it has a DW_AT_byte_size attribute which is not
a constant.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* testsuite/gdb.ada/var_rec_arr.exp: Add "ptype a1(1)" test.
