top.h has an obsolete comment about the use of _unfiltered.
|
|
A few spots setting some gdb output stream variables have a "for
moment" comment. These comments aren't useful and I think the moment
has passed -- these are permanent now.
|
|
This changes ui_out_redirect_pop to also perform the redirection, and
then updates several sites to use this, rather than explicit
redirects.
|
|
A ui initializes its line_buffer, but never calls buffer_free on it.
This patch fixes the oversight. I found this by inspection.
|
|
This patch removes some dead code and an old FIXME. These no longer
seem useful, even for documentation purposes.
|
|
This changes gdb so that, if ui::input_fd is set to -1, then it will
not be registered with the event loop. This is useful for the DAP
support code I wrote, but as it turns out to also be useful to
Insight, it seems best to check it in separately.

First, some background on the RISC-V registers fflags, frm, and fcsr.
These three registers all relate to the floating-point status and
control mechanism on RISC-V. The fcsr is the floatint-point control
status register, and consists of two parts, the flags (bits 0 to 4)
and the rounding-mode (bits 5 to 7).
The fcsr register is just one of many control/status registers (or
CSRs) available on RISC-V. The fflags and frm registers are also
CSRs. These CSRs are aliases for the relevant parts of the fcsr
register. So fflags is an alias for bits 0 to 4 of fcsr, and frm is
an alias for bits 5 to 7 of fcsr.
This means that a user can change the floating-point rounding mode
either, by writing a complete new value into fcsr, or by writing just
the rounding mode into frm.
How this impacts on GDB is like this: a target description could,
legitimately include all three registers, fcsr, fflags, and frm. The
QEMU target currently does this, and this makes sense. The target is
emulating the complete system, and has all three CSRs available, so
why not tell GDB about this.
In contrast, the RISC-V native Linux target only has access to the
fcsr. This is because the ptrace data structure that the kernel uses
for reading and writing floating point state only contains a copy of
the fcsr, after all, this one field really contains both the fflags
and frm fields, so why carry around duplicate data.
So, we might expect that the target description for the RISC-V native
Linux GDB would only contain the fcsr register. Unfortunately, this
is not the case. The RISC-V native Linux target uses GDB's builtin
target descriptions by calling riscv_lookup_target_description, this
will then add an fpu feature from gdb/features/riscv, either
32bit-fpu.xml or 64bit-fpu.xml. The problem, is that these features
include an entry for fcsr, fflags, and frm. This means that GDB
expects the target to handle reading and writing these registers. And
the RISC-V native Linux target currently doesn't.
In riscv_linux_nat_target::store_registers and
riscv_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers only the fcsr register is
handled, this means that, for RISC-V native Linux, the fflags and frm
registers always show up as <unavailable> - they are present in the
target description, but the target doesn't know how to access the
registers.
A final complication relating to these floating pointer CSRs is which
target description feature the registers appear in.
These registers are CSRs, so it would seem sensible that these
registers should appear in the CSR target description feature.
However, when I first added RISC-V target description support, I was
using a RISC-V simulator that didn't support any CSRs other than the
floating point related ones. This simulator bundled all the float
related CSRs into the fpu target feature. This didn't feel completely
unreasonable to me, and so I had GDB check for these registers in
either target feature.
In this commit I make some changes relating to how GDB handles the
three floating point CSR:
1. Remove fflags and frm from 32bit-fpu.xml and 64bit-fpu.xml. This
means that the default RISC-V target description (which RISC-V native
FreeBSD), and the target descriptions created for RISC-V native Linux,
will not include these registers. There's nothing stopping some other
target (e.g. QEMU) from continuing to include all three of these CSRs,
the code in riscv-tdep.c continues to check for all three of these
registers, and will handle them correctly if they are present.
2. If a target supplied fcsr, but does not supply fflags and/or frm,
then RISC-V GDB will now create two pseudo registers in order to
emulate the two missing CSRs. These new pseudo-registers do the
obvious thing of just reading and writing the fcsr register.
3. With the new pseudo-registers we can no longer make use of the GDB
register numbers RISCV_CSR_FFLAGS_REGNUM and RISCV_CSR_FRM_REGNUM.
These will be the numbers used if the target supplies the registers in
its target description, but, if GDB falls back to using
pseudo-registers, then new, unique numbers will be used. To handle
this I've added riscv_gdbarch_tdep::fflags_regnum and
riscv_gdbarch_tdep::frm_regnum, I've then updated the RISC-V code to
compare against these fields.
When adding the pseudo-register support, it is important that the
pseudo-register numbers are calculated after the call to
tdesc_use_registers. This is because we don't know the total number
of physical registers until after this call, and the psuedo-register
numbers must follow on from the real (target supplied) registers.
I've updated some tests to include more testing of the fflags and frm
registers, as well as adding a new test.

This commit adds a new function to the target description API within
GDB. This new function is not used in this commit, but will be used
in the next commit, I'm splitting it out into a separate patch for
easier review.
What I want to do in the next commit is check to see if a target
description supplied a particular register, however, the register in
question could appear in one of two possible features.
The new function allows me to ask the tdesc_arch_data whether a
register was found and assigned a particular GDB register number once
all of the features have been checked. I think this is a much simpler
solution than adding code such that, while checking each feature, I
spot if the register I'm processing is the one I care about.
No tests here as the new code is not used, but this code will be
exercised in the next commit.

On RISC-V the FCSR (float control/status register) is split into two
parts, FFLAGS (the flags) and FRM (the rounding mode). Both of these
two fields are part of the FCSR register, but can also be accessed as
separate registers in their own right. And so, we have three separate
registers, $fflags, $frm, and $fcsr, with the last of these being the
combination of the first two.
Here's how the bits of FCSR are split between FRM and FFLAGS:
,--------- FFLAGS
|---|
76543210 <----- FCSR
|-|
'--------------FRM
Here's how GDB currently displays these registers:
(gdb) info registers $fflags $frm $fcsr
fflags 0x0 RD:0 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0
frm 0x0 FRM:0 [RNE (round to nearest; ties to even)]
fcsr 0x0 RD:0 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0 FRM:0 [RNE (round to nearest; ties to even)]
Notice the 'RD' field which is present in both $fflags and $fcsr.
This field contains the value of the FRM field, which makes sense when
displaying the $fcsr, but makes no sense when displaying $fflags, as
the $fflags doesn't include the FRM field.
Additionally, the $fcsr already includes an FRM field, so the
information in 'RD' is duplicated. Consider this:
(gdb) set $frm = 0x3
(gdb) info registers $fflags $frm $fcsr │
fflags 0x0 RD:0 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0
frm 0x3 FRM:3 [RUP (Round up towards +INF)]
fcsr 0x60 RD:3 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0 FRM:3 [RUP (Round up towards +INF)]
See how the 'RD' field in $fflags still displays 0, while the 'RD' and
'FRM' fields in $fcsr show the same information.
The first change I propose in this commit is to remove the 'RD'
field. After this change the output now looks like this:
(gdb) info registers $fflags $frm $fcsr
fflags 0x0 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0
frm 0x0 FRM:0 [RNE (round to nearest; ties to even)]
fcsr 0x0 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0 FRM:0 [RNE (round to nearest; ties to even)]
Next, I spotted that the text that goes along with the 'FRM' field was
not wrapped in the i18n markers for internationalisation, so I added
those.
Next, I spotted that:
(gdb) set $frm=0x7
(gdb) info registers $fflags $frm $fcsr
fflags 0x0 RD:0 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0
frm 0x7 FRM:3 [RUP (Round up towards +INF)]
fcsr 0xe0 RD:7 NV:0 DZ:0 OF:0 UF:0 NX:0 FRM:3 [RUP (Round up towards +INF)]
Notice that despite being a 3-bit field, FRM masks to 2-bits.
Checking the manual I can see that the FRM field is 3-bits, and is
defined for all 8 values. That GDB masks to 2-bits is just a bug I
think, so I've fixed this.
Finally, the 'FRM' text for value 0x7 is wrong. Currently we use the
text 'dynamic rounding mode' for value 0x7. However, this is not
really correct.
A RISC-V instruction can either encode the rounding mode within the
instruction, or a RISC-V instruction can choose to use a global,
dynamic rounding mode.
So, for the rounding-mode field of an _instruction_ the value 0x7
indicates "dynamic round mode", the instruction should defer to the
rounding mode held in the FRM field of the $fcsr.
But it makes no sense for the FRM of $fcsr to itself be set to
0x7 (dynamic rounding mode), and indeed, section 11.2, "Floating-Point
Control and Status Register" of the RISC-V manual, says that a value
of 0x7 in the $fcsr FRM field is invalid, and if an instruction has
_its_ round-mode set to dynamic, and the FRM field is also set to 0x7,
then an illegal instruction exception is raised.
And so, I propose changing the text for value 0x7 of the FRM field to
be "INVALID[7] (Dynamic rounding mode)". We already use the text
"INVALID[5]" and "INVALID[6]" for the two other invalid fields,
however, I think adding the extra "Dynamic round mode" hint might be
helpful.
I've added a new test that uses 'info registers' to check what GDB
prints for the three registers related to this patch. There is one
slight oddity with this test - for the fflags and frm registers, the
test accepts both the "normal" output (as described above), but also
allows these registers to be reported as '<unavailable>'.
The reason why I accept <unavailable> is that currently, the RISC-V,
native Linux target advertises these registers in its target
description, but then doesn't support reading or writing of these
registers, this results in the registers being reported as
unavailable.
A later patch in this series will address this issue, and will remove
this check for <unavailable>.

The following GDB behavior was also reported as a GDB bug in
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28396
I will reiterate the problem a bit and give some more information here.
This patch closes the above mentioned bug.
The DWARF 5 standard 2.23 'Template Parameters' reads:
A template type parameter is represented by a debugging information
entry with the tag DW_TAG_template_type_parameter. A template value
parameter is represented by a debugging information entry with the tag
DW_TAG_template_value_parameter. The actual template parameter entries
appear in the same order as the corresponding template formal
parameter declarations in the source progam.
A type or value parameter entry may have a DW_AT_name attribute, whose
value is a null-terminated string containing the name of the
corresponding formal parameter.
So the DW_AT_name attribute for DW_TAG_template_type_parameter and
DW_TAG_template_value_parameter is optional.
Within GDB, creating a new symbol from some read DIE usually requires the
presence of a DW_AT_name for the DIE (an exception here is the case of
unnamed namespaces or the existence of a linkage name).
This patch makes the presence of the DW_AT_name for template value/type
tags optional, similar to the unnamed namespaces.
For unnamed namespaces dwarf2_name simply returns the constant string
CP_ANONYMOUS_NAMESPACE_STR '(anonymous namespace)'. For template tags a
case was added to the switch statement calling the
unnamed_template_tag_name helper. Within the scope of parent which
the template parameter is a child of, the helper counts the position
of the template tag within the unnamed template tags and returns
'<unnamedNUMBER>' where NUMBER is its position. This way we end up with
unique names within the respective scope of the function/class/struct
(these are the only currenltly supported template kinds within GDB and
usually the compilers) where we discovered the template tags in.
While I do not know of a way to bring GCC to emit template tags without
names there is one for clang/icpx. Consider the following example
template<typename A, typename B, typename C>
class Foo {};
template<typename, typename B, typename>
class Foo;
int main () {
Foo<double, int, float> f;
return 0;
}
The forward declaration for 'Foo' with the missing template type names
'A' and 'C' makes clang emit a bunch of template tags without names:
...
<2><43>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_variable)
<44> DW_AT_location : 2 byte block: 91 78 (DW_OP_fbreg: -8)
<47> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x63): f
<4b> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<4c> DW_AT_decl_line : 8
<4d> DW_AT_type : <0x59>
...
<1><59>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_class_type)
<5a> DW_AT_calling_convention: 5 (pass by value)
<5b> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x74): Foo<double, int, float>
<5f> DW_AT_byte_size : 1
<60> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<61> DW_AT_decl_line : 2
<2><62>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_template_type_param)
<63> DW_AT_type : <0x76>
<2><67>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_template_type_param)
<68> DW_AT_type : <0x52>
<6c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x6c): B
<2><70>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_template_type_param)
<71> DW_AT_type : <0x7d>
...
Befor this patch, GDB would not create any symbols for the read template
tag DIEs and thus lose knowledge about them. Breaking at the return
statement and printing f's type would read
(gdb) ptype f
type = class Foo<double, int, float> [with B = int] {
<no data fields>
}
After this patch GDB does generate symbols from the DWARF (with their
artificial names:
(gdb) ptype f
type = class Foo<double, int, float> [with <unnamed0> = double, B = int,
<unnamed1> = float] {
<no data fields>
}
The same principle theoretically applies to template functions. Also
here, GDB would not record unnamed template TAGs but I know of no visual
way to trigger and test this changed behavior. Template functions do
not emit a '[with...]' list and their name generation also does not
suffer from template tags without names. GDB does not check whether or
not a template tag has a name in 'dwarf2_compute_name' and thus, the
names of the template functions are created independently of whether or
not the template TAGs have a DW_TAT_name attribute. A testcase has
been added in the gdb.dwarf2 for template classes and structs.

When writing a dwarf testcase for some C++ code I wanted to use the
MACRO_AT_range which in turn uses the function_range proc in dwarf.exp
to extract the bounds of 'main'.
However, the macro failed as GDB prints the C++ 'main' with its
arguments as 'main(int, char**)' or 'main()'.
The reason for this is that in read.c::dwarf2_compute_name we call
c_type_print_args on C++ functions and append their arguments to the
function name. This happens to all C++ functions, but is only visible
when the function doesn't have a linkage name.
An example might make this more clear. Given the following code
>> cat c.cpp
int foo (int a, float b)
{
return 0;
}
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
return 0;
}
which is legal in both languages, C and C++, and compiling it with
e.g. clang or gcc will make the disassemble command look like:
>> clang --version
clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1
...
>> clang -O0 -g ./c.cpp
>> gdb -q ./a.out -ex "start"
...
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main(int, char**):
0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp
0x0000000000401121 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
...
0x0000000000401135 <+21>: ret
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) disassemble foo
Dump of assembler code for function _Z3fooif:
0x0000000000401110 <+0>: push %rbp
0x0000000000401111 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
...
0x000000000040111f <+15>: ret
End of assembler dump.
Note, that main is emitted with its arguments while for foo the linkage
name is being printed, as also visible in its DWARF:
>> objdump ./a.out --dwarf=info | grep "foo" -A3 -B3
<2b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x401110
<33> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x10
<37> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 56 (DW_OP_reg6 (rbp))
<39> DW_AT_linkage_name: (indirect string, offset: 0x39): _Z3fooif
<3d> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x42): foo
<41> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<42> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<43> DW_AT_type : <0x9a>
Now, let's rename the C++ file and compile it as C:
>> mv c.cpp c.c
>> clang -O0 -g ./c.c
>> gdb -q ./a.out -ex "start'
...
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x0000000000401120 <+0>: push %rbp
0x0000000000401121 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
...
0x0000000000401135 <+21>: ret
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) disassemble foo
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
0x0000000000401110 <+0>: push %rbp
0x0000000000401111 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
...
0x000000000040111f <+15>: ret
End of assembler dump.
Note, for foo we did not get a linkage name emitted in DWARF, so
it is printed by its name:
>> objdump --dwarf=info ./a.out | grep foo -A3 -B3
<2b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x401110
<33> DW_AT_high_pc : 0x10
<37> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 56 (DW_OP_reg6 (rbp))
<39> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x37): foo
<3d> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<3e> DW_AT_decl_line : 1
<3f> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
To make the macro and proc work with C++ as well, an optional argument
list was added to the regex matching the function name in the
disassemble command in function_range. This does not change any used
behavior as currently, there exists no C++ test using the proc
function_range.

The call to debuginfod_debuginfo_query in elf_symfile_read is given
objfile->original_name as the filename to print when downloading the
objfile's debuginfo.
In some cases original_name is prefixed with gdb's working directory
even though the objfile is not located in the working directory. This
causes debuginfod to display the wrong path of the objfile during a download.
Fix this by using the objfile's bfd filename instead.

GDB overwrites Python's sys.stdout and sys.stderr, but does not
properly implement the 'flush' method -- it only ever will flush
stdout. This patch fixes the bug. I couldn't find a straightforward
way to write a test for this.

The gdb.flush documentation does not mention the 'stream' argument in
the function signature, only in the description. This patch fixes the
oversight.

When running the included test-case, we run into:
...
(gdb) break _start^M
read.h:309: internal-error: set_length: \
Assertion `m_length == length' failed.^M
...
The problem is that while there are two CUs:
...
$ readelf -wi debug-names-missing-cu | grep @
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x0:
Compilation Unit @ offset 0x2d:
...
the CU table in the .debug_names section only contains the first one:
...
CU table:
[ 0] 0x0
...
The incomplete CU table makes create_cus_from_debug_names_list set the size of
the CU at 0x0 to the actual size of both CUs combined.
This eventually leads to the assert, when we read the actual size from the CU
header.
While having an incomplete CU table in a .debug_names section is incorrect,
we need a better failure mode than asserting.
The easiest way to fix this is to set the length to 0 (meaning: unkown) in
create_cus_from_debug_names_list.
This makes the failure mode to accept the incomplete CU table, but to ignore
the missing CU.
It would be nice to instead reject the .debug_names index, and build a
complete CU list, but the point where we find this out is well after
dwarf2_initialize_objfile, so it looks rather intrusive to restart at that
point.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

I tried out the script gdb/gdb_mbuild.sh, and ran into:
...
score-elf ...
... configure --target=score-elf
... make score-elf
... run score-elf
score-elf: gdb dumped core
Terminated
...
Gdb runs into this internal error in initialize_current_architecture:
...
if (! gdbarch_update_p (info))
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__,
_("initialize_current_architecture: Selection of "
"initial architecture failed"));
...
The call to gdbarch_update_p fails because commit 575b4c298a6 ("gdb: Remove
support for S+core") removed support for the architecture.
Fix this by adding score-*-* to the list of obsolete targets in
gdb/configure.tgt, such that we're no longer able to build the configuration:
...
*** Configuration score-unknown-elf is obsolete.
*** Support has been REMOVED.
make: *** [Makefile:12806: configure-gdb] Error 1

Also remove the related line from the "Target Instruction Set Architectures"
list in gdb/MAINTAINERS, such that gdb/gdb_mbuild.sh no longer tries to build
it.

Compared to the previous version, this version fixes the comments reported by
Tom Tromey and ensures that the 'help some-user-documented-alias'
shows the alias definition to ensure the user understands this is an
alias even if specifically documented.
When using 'help ALIASNAME', GDB shows the help of the aliased command.
This is a good default behaviour.
However, GDB alias command allows to define aliases with arguments
possibly changing or tuning significantly the behaviour of
the aliased command. In such a case, showing the help of the aliased
command might not be ideal.
This is particularly true when defining an alias as a set of
nested 'with' followed by a last command to launch, such as:
(gdb) alias pp10 = with print pretty -- with print elements 10 -- print
Asking 'help pp10' shows the help of the 'with' command, which is
not particularly useful:
(gdb) help pp10
with, pp10, w
alias pp10 = with print pretty -- with print elements 10 -- print
Temporarily set SETTING to VALUE, run COMMAND, and restore SETTING.
Usage: with SETTING [VALUE] [-- COMMAND]
....
Such an alias can now be documented by the user:
(gdb) document pp10
>Pretty printing an expressiong, printing 10 elements.
>Usage: pp10 [PRINT-COMMAND-OPTIONS] EXP
>See 'help print' for more information.
>end
(gdb) help pp10
alias pp10 = with print pretty -- with print elements 10 -- print
Pretty printing an expressiong, printing 10 elements.
Usage: pp10 [PRINT-COMMAND-OPTIONS] EXP
See 'help print' for more information.
(gdb)
When a user-defined alias is documented specifically, help and apropos
use the provided alias documentation instead of the documentation of
the aliased command.
Such a documented alias is also not shown anymore in the help of the
aliased command, and the alias is not listed anymore in the help
of the aliased command. In particular for cases such as pp10 example above,
indicating that pp10 is an alias of the 'with' command is confusing.

When debugging a certain class of GDB bug, I often end up wanting to
know what GDB thinks the frame-id is in a particular frame. It's
not too hard to pull this from some debug output, but I thought it
might be nice if there was a maintenance command that could tell us.
This commit adds 'maint print frame-id' which prints the frame-id of
the currently selected frame. You can also pass a frame level number
to find the frame-id for a specific frame.
There's a new test too.

This implements target async for Windows. The basic idea is to have
the worker thread block in WaitForDebugEvent, then notify the event
loop when an event is seen. In a few situations, this blocking
behavior is undesirable, so the functions passed to do_synchronously
are changed to return a boolean indicating which behavior is needed.
|
|
On Windows, certain debugging APIs can only be called from the thread
that started (or attached) to the inferior. Also, there is no way on
Windows to wait for a debug event in addition to other events.
Therefore, in order to implement target async for Windows, gdb will

This patch implements the worker thread and moves the necessary
operations there. Target async isn't yet implemented, so this patch
does not cause any visible changes.

When using Ravenscar, gdb can crash if the user sets a breakpoint very
early in task startup. This happens because gdb thinks the runtime is
initialized, but in practice the particular task isn't sufficiently
initialized. This patch avoids the issue by turning an assertion into
an early return.
I tested this using the AdaCore internal test suite. I don't know how
to test Ravenscar using the FSF test suite.

I noticed that gdbpy_parse_register_id would assert if passed a Python
object of a type it was not expecting. The included test case shows
this crash. This patch fixes the problem and also changes
gdbpy_parse_register_id to be more "Python-like" -- it always ensures
the Python error is set when it fails, and the callers now simply
propagate the existing exception.

I noticed a couple of initialization functions that aren't really
needed, and that currently require explicit calls in gdb_init. This
patch removes these functions, simplifying gdb a little.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.

As Luis pointed out here [1], the AArch64 variant of the test doesn't
work on systems that use PIE by default. For example, on this Debian
11:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.dwarf2/entry-value-typedef.exp"
gdb compile failed, /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccJE8ZSr.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against symbol `_ZNSsD1Ev@@GLIBCXX_3.4' which may bind externally can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccJE8ZSr.o(.text+0x38): unresolvable R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 relocation against symbol `_ZNSsD1Ev@@GLIBCXX_3.4'
This is because entry-value-typedef-aarch64.S was generated on an old
system that does not generate position-independent code by default, but
the system the test runs on tries to link the test executable as
position-independent. Fix this by regenerating the same binary on the
same system as the original one, but with -fPIE this time. Do the same
for the amd64 binary, although this one was already position-independent
so the generated code doesn't change.
With this patch applied, the test passes on the Debian 11 AArch64
system.

Clang 15.0.0 enabled the warning for deprecated non-prototype functions
by default: https://reviews.llvm.org/D122895
Callfuncs.exp is impacted and won't run due to new warnings:
callfuncs.c:339:5: warning: a function declaration without a prototype is
deprecated in all versions of C and is not supported in C2x
[-Wdeprecated-non-prototype]
int t_float_values (float_arg1, float_arg2)
This patch disables those warnings with -Wno-deprecated-non-prototype.
Removing the test for deprecated syntax would also be an option. But I will
leave that up for others to decide/implement.
|
|
To cite gdb.exp:
Some C/C++ testcases unconditionally pass -Wno-foo as additional
options to disable some warning. That is OK with GCC, because
by design, GCC accepts any -Wno-foo option, even if it doesn't
support -Wfoo. Clang however warns about unknown -Wno-foo by
default, unless you pass -Wno-unknown-warning-option as well.
We do that here, so that individual testcases don't have to
worry about it.
This patch adds the same option that already exists for clang for icx and
adds the equivalent icc option.

According to LoongArch ELF ABI specification [1], variadic arguments
are passed in GARs in the same manner as named arguments. And after
a variadic argument has been passed on the stack, all future arguments
will also be passed on the stack, i.e., the last argument register may
be left unused due to the aligned register pair rule. long double data
tpye is passed in an aligned GAR pair, the first register in the pair
is even-numbered.

The problem is that the type that gets passed down to
dwarf_expr_context::fetch_result (the type of a variable of which we're
trying to read the entry value) is a typedef whose size has never been
computed yet (check_typedef has never been called on it). As we get in
the DWARF_VALUE_STACK case (line 1028 of dwarf2/expr.c), the `len`
variable is therefore set to 0, instead of the actual type length. We
then call allocate_value on subobj_type, which does call check_typedef,
so the length of the typedef gets filled in at that point. We end up
passing to the copy function a source array view of length 0 and a
target array view of length 4, and the assertion fails.
Fix this by calling check_typedef on both type and subobj_type at the
beginning of fetch_result.
I tried writing a test for this using the DWARF assembler, but I haven't
succeeded. It's possible that we need to get into this specific code
path (value_of_dwarf_reg_entry and all) to manage to get to
dwarf_expr_context::fetch_result with a typedef type that has never been
resolved. In all my attempts, the typedef would always be resolved
already, so the bug wouldn't show up.
As a fallback, I made a gdb.dwarf2 test with compiler-generated .S
files. I don't particularly like those, but I think it's better than no
test. The .cpp source code is the smallest reproducer I am able to make
from the reproducer given in the bug (thanks to Pedro for suggestions on
how to minimize it further than I had). Since I tested on both amd64
and aarch64, I added versions of the test for these two architectures.

As reported by Tom in https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-August/191357.html,
the aarch64 prologue analyzer considers the adrp instruction in the
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp testcase to be part of a prologue.
The function has no prologue though, and it only loads the volatile variable
from memory. GDB should not skip any instructions in this case.
Doing some archaeology, it seems handling for adr/adrp in prologues was
included with the original aarch64 port. It might've been an oversight.
In the particular case of gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp, the analyzer skips
a couple instructions and leaves us in a nice spot where the address to the
variable "v" is already in w0. But no prologues exists.

It exercises a bug that GDB previously had where it would lose track of
some registers when the inferior changed its vector length.
It also checks that the vg register and the size of the z0-z31 registers
correctly reflect the new vector length.
|
|
When the inferior program changes the SVE length, GDB can stop tracking
some registers as it obtains the new gdbarch that corresponds to the
updated length:
Breakpoint 1, do_sve_ioctl_test () at sve-ioctls.c:44
44 res = prctl(PR_SVE_SET_VL, i, 0, 0, 0, 0);
(gdb) print i
$2 = 32
(gdb) info registers

fpsr 0x0 0
fpcr 0x0 0
vg 0x4 4
(gdb)
Notice that register tpidr disappeared when vg (which holds the vector
length) changed from 8 to 4. The tpidr register is provided by the
org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.tls feature.
This happens because the code that searches for a new gdbarch to match the
new vector length in aarch64_linux_nat_target::thread_architecture doesn't
take into account the features present in the target description associated
with the previous gdbarch. This patch makes it do that.
Since the id member of struct gdbarch_info is now unused, it's removed.

I noticed that the gdb.arch/riscv-unwind-long-insn.exp test was
failing when run on a 64-bit RISC-V target.
The problem was that GDB was failing to stop after a finish command,
and was then running to an unexpected location.
The reason GDB failed to stop at the finish breakpoint was that the
frame-id of the inferior, when we reached the finish breakpoint,
didn't match the expected frame-id that was stored on the breakpoint.
The reason for this mismatch was that the assembler code that is
included in this test, was written only taking 32-bit RISC-V into
account, as a result, the $fp register was being corrupted, and this
was causing the frame-id mismatch.
Specifically, the $fp register would end up being sign-extended from
32 to 64 bits. If the expected $fp value has some significant bits
above bit 31 then the computed and expected frame-ids would not match.
To fix this I propose merging the two .s files into a single .S file,
and making use of preprocessor macros to specialise the file for the
correct size of $fp. There are plenty of existing tests that already
make use of preprocessor macros in assembler files, so I assume this
approach is fine.
Once I'd decided to make use of preprocessor macros to solve the 32/64
bit issue, then I figured I might as well merge the two test assembler
files, they only differed by a single instruction.
With this change in place I now see this test fully passing on 32 and
64 bit RISC-V targets.

Commit 9db0d8536dbc ("gdb/mi: fix breakpoint script field output") fixed
the output of the script key in the MI breakpoint output, from
script={"print 10","continue"}
to
script=["print 10","continue"]
However, it missed updating this test case, which still tests for the
old (broken) form, causing:
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: mi-mode=main: test_breakpoint_commands: breakpoint commands: check that commands are set (unexpected output)
FAIL: gdb.mi/mi-break.exp: mi-mode=separate: test_breakpoint_commands: breakpoint commands: check that commands are set (unexpected output)

There's a comment in riscv-tdep.c that explains some of the background
about how we check for the fcsr, fflags, and frm registers within a
riscv target description.
This comment (and the functionality it describes) relates to how QEMU
advertises these registers within its target description.
Unfortunately, QEMU includes these three registers in both the fpu and
crs target description features. To work around this GDB uses one of
the register declarations, and ignores the other, this means the GDB
user sees a single copy of each register, and things just work.
When I originally wrote the comment I thought it didn't matter which
copy of the register GDB selected, the fpu copy or the csr copy, so
long as we just used one of them. The comment reflected this belief.
Upon further investigation, it turns out I was wrong. GDB has to use
the csr copy of the register. If GDB tries to use the register from
the fpu feature then QEMU will return an error when GDB tries to read
or write the register.
Luckily, the code within GDB (currently) will always select the csr
copy of the register, so nothing is broken, but the comment is wrong.
This commit updates the comment to better describe what is actually
going on.
Of course, I should probably also send a patch to QEMU to fix up the
target description that is sent to GDB.

breakpoint::decode_location_spec just asserts if called. It turned
out to be relatively easy to remove this method from breakpoint and
instead move the base implementation to code_breakpoint.
|

location_spec_to_sals is only ever called for code breakpoints, so
make it a protected method there.

breakpoint_re_set_default is only ever called from breakpoint re_set

When running test-case gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp on x86_64-linux, we
have:

compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename
...
When trying to set a breakpoint on
compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename, the architecture-specific
prologue skipper starts at 0x4004c0 and skips past two insns, to 0x4004c4:
...
00000000004004c0 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename>:

4004d3: 90 nop
4004d4: 5d pop %rbp
4004d5: c3 ret
...
And because the line table info is rudamentary:
...
CU: tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:
File name Line number Starting address View Stmt
tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c 999 0x4004c0 x

tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c - 0x4004d6
...
the address does not fall at an actual line, so the breakpoint is shown with
address, both when setting it and hitting it.
when running the test-case with aarch64-linux, we have similarly:
...
(gdb) break compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename^M
Breakpoint 2 at 0x400618: file tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c, line 999.^M
...
due to the architecture-specific prologue skipper starting at 0x400610 and
skipping past two insns, to 0x400618:
...
0000000000400610 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename>:
400610: 90000100 adrp x0, 420000 <__libc_start_main@GLIBC_2.17>

40062c: d503201f nop
400630: d65f03c0 ret
...
But interestingly, the aarch64 architecture-specific prologue skipper is
wrong. There is no prologue, and the breakpoint should be set at 0x400610.
By using "break *compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename"
we can get the breakpoint set at 0x400610:
...
(gdb) break *compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename^M
Breakpoint 2 at 0x400610: file tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c, line 999.^M
...
and make the test-case independent of prologue analysis.
This requires us to update the expected patterns.
The fix ensures that once the aarch64 architecture-specific prologue skipper
will be fixed, this test-case won't start failing.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

When doing varobj_re_set, we currently try to recreate floating varobj.
This was introduced by 4e969b4f0128 "Re-evaluate floating varobj as part
of varobj_invalidate" to deal with use a after free issue. However
since bc20e562ec0 "Fix use after free in varobj" we now ensure that we
never have dangling pointers so this all recreation is not strictly
needed anymore for floating varobjs.
This commit proposes to remove this recreation process for floating
varobjs.

[This patch is a followup to the discussion in
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-August/191188.html]
PR/29426 shows failures when running the gdb.mi/mi-var-invalidate-shlib
test when using a compiler which does not produce a PIE executable by
default.
In the testcase, a varobj is created to track a global variable, and
then the main binary is reloaded in GDB (using the file command).
During the load of the new binary, GDB tries to recreate the varobj to
track the global in the new binary (varobj_invalidate_iter). At this
point, the old process is still in flight. So when we try to access to
the value of the global, in a PIE executable we only have access to the
unrelocated address (the objfile's text_section_offset () is 0). As a
consequence down the line read_value_memory fails to read the unrelated
address, so cannot evaluate the value of the global. Note that the
expression used to access to the global’s value is valid, so the varobj
can be created. When using a non PIE executable, the address of the
global GDB knows about at this point does not need relocation, so
read_value_memory can access the (old binary’s) value.
So at this point, in the case of a non-PIE executable the value field is
set, while it is cleared in the case of PIE executable. Later when the
test issues a "-var-update global_var", the command sees no change in
the case of the non-PIE executable, while in the case of the PIE
executable install_new_value sees that value changes, leading to a
different output.
This patch makes sure that, as we do for breakpoints, we wait until
relocation has happened before we try to recreate varobjs. This way we
have a consistent behavior between PIE and non-PIE binaries.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
