2022-06-24Improve core file path detection & put cores in output dirPedro Alves5-54/+117
After a testrun, I noticed that I have some kernel-produced cores for testcase programs, under build/gdb/testsuite/, which shouldn't be there: $ ls -1 testsuite/core.* testsuite/core.annota1.1274351.nelson.1656004407 testsuite/core.annota3.1288474.nelson.1656004414 testsuite/core.exitsignal.1240674.nelson.1656004391 I have my core pattern setup like this: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern core.%e.%p.%h.%t That's: %e: executable filename %p: pid %h: hostname %t: UNIX time of dump so it's easy to tell which program produced the core from the core file name. From above, we can tell that the corresponding testcases are gdb.base/annota1.exp, gdb.base/annota3.exp and gdb.base/exitsignal.exp. At least gdb.base/annota1.exp and gdb.base/annota3.exp have code in them to delete the core file. However, that isn't working for me, because said code only looks for cores named exactly either "core" or "core.PID", and my core_pattern doesn't match that. Another issue I noticed, is that I have not been running gdb.base/bigcore.exp, for a similar reason. I get: Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted. The program no longer exists. (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: signal SIGABRT UNTESTED: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: can't generate a core file But I actually have a core file under the testcase's output dir: $ find . -name "core.*" ./testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/bigcore/core.bigcore.2306705.nelson.1656005213 $ This commit fixes these things, by adding a find_core_file routine that searches core files in a way that works with my core pattern as well. This then also adds a convenience remove_core routine as a wrapper around find_core_file that removes the found core file. In addition, it changes some testcases that expect to have their program dump core, to switch the inferior's cwd to the testcase's output dir, so that the core is dumped there instead of in build/gdb/testsuite/. Some testcases were already doing that, but not all. The idea is that any core file dumped in build/gdb/testsuite/ is an unexpected core file. The next patch will add a count of such unexpected core files to gdb.sum. Another change is that the directory changing is now done with "set cwd" instead of with "cd". "set cwd" only affects the inferior cwd, while "cd" affects GDB's cwd too. By using "set cwd" instead of "cd", if GDB dumps core in these testcases, the GDB core dump will still end up in build/gdb/testsuite/, and can thus be detected as an unexpected core.

2022-06-24gdb: make use of RAII in run_inferior_callAndrew Burgess1-14/+11
In passing I noticed that there are three local variables in run_inferior_call that are used to save, and then restore some state, I think these could all be replaced with a RAII style scoped_restore instead. Of the three locals that I've changed, the only one that I believe is now restored in a different location is ui::async, before this commit the async field was restored after a call to either delete_file_handle or ui_register_input_event_handler, and after this commit, the field is restored before these calls. However, I don't believe that either of these functions depend on the value of the async field, so I believe the commit is fine. Tested on x86-64/Linux passes with no regressions.

2022-06-23Don't declare cli_set_loggingTom Tromey1-5/+0
cli_set_logging is declared but not defined. It's probably a leftover from whenever interpreters were changed to use inheritance. This patch removes the declaration. Tested by grep and rebuilding.
2022-06-23Use PyBool_FromLongTom Tromey3-8/+4
I noticed a few spots that were explicitly creating new references to Py_True or Py_False. It's simpler here to use PyBool_FromLong, so this patch changes all the places I found.
2022-06-22Use std::string for interpreter_pTom Tromey4-31/+15
The global interpreter_p is a manually-managed 'char *'. This patch changes it to be a std::string instead, and removes some erroneous comments.
2022-06-22Move mi_interpreter to mi-interp.hTom Tromey3-51/+51
I noticed that touching interps.h caused a lot of recompilation. I tracked this down to mi-common.h including this file. This patch moves the MI interpreter to mi-interp.h, which cuts down on recompilation when modifying interps.h.
2022-06-22Use unique_xmalloc_ptr in interpTom Tromey2-8/+6
This changes interp::m_name to be a unique_xmalloc_ptr, removing some manual memory management. It also cleans up the initialization of the 'inited' member, and moves the 'private:' and 'public:' keywords to their proper spots.
2022-06-21Document how GDB searches for files when using -s, -e, and -se optionsKevin Buettner1-0/+5
GDB's documentation of the 'file' command says: If you do not specify a directory and the file is not found in the GDB working directory, GDB uses the environment variable PATH as a list of directories to search, just as the shell does when looking for a program to run. The same is true for files specified via commandline options -s, -e, and -se. This commit adds a cross reference to the file command for these options.
2022-06-20Move finish_print out of value_print_optionsTom Tromey3-9/+10
'finish_print' does not really belong in value_print_options -- this is consulted only when deciding whether or not to print a value, and never during the course of printing. This patch removes it from the structure and makes it a static global in infcmd.c instead. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
2022-06-18Fix assertion failure in copy_typeTom Tromey2-12/+12
PR exp/20630 points out a simple way to cause an assertion failure in copy_type -- but this was found in the wild a few times as well. copy_type only works for objfile-owned types, but there isn't a deep reason for this. This patch fixes the bug by updating copy_type to work for any sort of type. Better would perhaps be to finally implement type GC, but I still haven't attempted this.

2022-06-18gdb/python: Export nibbles to python layerEnze Li3-1/+84
This patch makes it possible to allow Value.format_string() to return nibbles output. When we set the parameter of nibbles to True, we can achieve the displaying binary values in groups of every four bits. Here's an example: (gdb) py print (gdb.Value (1230).format_string (format='t', nibbles=True)) 0100 1100 1110 (gdb) Note that the parameter nibbles is only useful if format='t' is also used. This patch also includes update to the relevant testcase and documentation. Tested on x86_64 openSUSE Tumbleweed.
2022-06-18gdb/doc: Documentation for the new print commandEnze Li2-4/+36
Document the new command "print nibbles" and add a NEWS entry.
2022-06-18gdb: Add new 'print nibbles' featureEnze Li8-3/+113
Make an introduction of a new print setting that can be set by 'set print nibbles [on|off]'. The default value if OFF, which can be changed by user manually. Of course, 'show print nibbles' is also included in the patch. The new feature displays binary values by group, with four bits per group. The motivation for this work is to enhance the readability of binary values. Here's a GDB session before this patch is applied. (gdb) print var_a $1 = 1230 (gdb) print/t var_a $2 = 10011001110 With this patch applied, we can use the new print setting to display the new form of the binary values. (gdb) print var_a $1 = 1230 (gdb) print/t var_a $2 = 10011001110 (gdb) set print nibbles on (gdb) print/t var_a $3 = 0100 1100 1110 Tested on x86_64 openSUSE Tumbleweed.

2022-06-17Fix GDB build with GCC 4.8 & 4.9Pedro Alves2-10/+15
With gcc 4.8/4.9, we run into this build failure (and other similar ones): /home/palves/gdb/binutils-gdb/src/gdb/location.h:224:59: error: could not convert ‘{0, LINE_OFFSET_UNKNOWN}’ from ‘<brace-enclosed initializer list>’ to ‘line_offset’ struct line_offset line_offset = {0, LINE_OFFSET_UNKNOWN}; ^ The issue is that at around the GCC 4.8/4.9 era, a default member initializer prevented the struct from being an aggregate, so you cannot use aggregate initialization on them. That rule changed after GCC 4.9 and GCC 5 & later uses new rules. Fix this by not using aggregate initialization for struct line_offset. The default member initization already leaves line_offset as {0, LINE_OFFSET_UNKNOWN}, so initialization to those values can just go away. The remaining cases are of the form {0, LINE_OFFSET_NONE}, and those cases can be better rewritten to delay setting the sign field until we know we have a valid offset.

2022-06-17Eliminate the two-level data structures behind location_specsPedro Alves9-506/+452
Currently, there's the location_spec hierarchy, and then some location_spec subclasses have their own struct type holding all their data fields. I.e., there is this: location_spec explicit_location_spec linespec_location_spec address_location_spec probe_location_spec and then these separate types: explicit_location linespec_location where: explicit_location_spec has-a explicit_location linespec_location_spec has-a linespec_location This patch eliminates explicit_location and linespec_location, inlining their members in the corresponding location_spec type. The location_spec subclasses were the ones currently defined in location.c, so they are moved to the header. Since the definitions of the classes are now visible, we no longer need location_spec_deleter. Some constructors that are used for cloning location_specs, like: explicit explicit_location_spec (const struct explicit_location *loc) ... were converted to proper copy ctors. In the process, initialize_explicit_location is eliminated, and some functions that returned the "data type behind a locspec", like get_linespec_location are converted to downcast functions, like as_linespec_location_spec.

2022-06-17event_location -> location_specPedro Alves21-591/+605
Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to SaLs. This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as struct breakpoint has these two fields: breakpoint::location; breakpoint::loc; "location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations. And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the resolved locations as range... The location spec type is presently called event_location: /* Location we used to set the breakpoint. */ event_location_up location; and it is described like this: /* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event in the inferior. */ struct event_location { and even that is incorrect... Location specs are used for finding actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do with stop events. E.g., "list" works with location specs. To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to "location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like e.g., "location" -> "locspec". Similarly, functions that work with location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are renamed to include "spec" in their name too.

2022-06-15gdb/arm: Track msp and pspYvan Roux1-0/+18
For Arm Cortex-M33 with security extensions, there are 4 different stack pointers (msp_s, msp_ns, psp_s, psp_ns). To be compatible with earlier Cortex-M derivates, the msp and psp registers are aliases for one of the 4 real stack pointer registers. These are the combinations that exist: sp -> msp -> msp_s sp -> msp -> msp_ns sp -> psp -> psp_s sp -> psp -> psp_ns This means that when the GDB client is to show the value of "msp", the value should always be equal to either "msp_s" or "msp_ns". Same goes for "psp". To add a bit more context; GDB does not really use the register msp (or psp) internally, but they are part of the set of registers which are provided by the target.xml file. As a result, they will be part of the set of registers printed by the "info r" command. Without this particular patch, GDB will hit the assert in the bottom of arm_cache_get_sp_register function.

2022-06-15gdb: unify two dis_asm_read_memory functions in disasm.cAndrew Burgess2-25/+20
After the recent restructuring of the disassembler code, GDB has ended up with two identical class static functions, both called dis_asm_read_memory, with identical implementations. My first thought was to move these out of their respective classes, and just make them global functions, then I'd only need a single copy. And maybe that's the right way to go. But I disliked that by doing that I loose the encapsulation of the method with the corresponding disassembler class. So, instead, I placed the static method into its own class, and had both the gdb_non_printing_memory_disassembler and gdb_disassembler classes inherit from this new class as an additional base-class. In terms of code generated, I don't think there's any significant difference with this approach, but I think this better reflects how the function is closely tied to the disassembler. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
2022-06-15gdb: refactor the non-printing disassemblersAndrew Burgess7-135/+170
This commit started from an observation I made while working on some other disassembler patches, that is, that the function gdb_buffered_insn_length, is broken ... sort of. I noticed that the gdb_buffered_insn_length function doesn't set up the application data field if the disassemble_info structure. Further, I noticed that some architectures, for example, ARM, require that the application_data field be set, see gdb_print_insn_arm in arm-tdep.c. And so, if we ever use gdb_buffered_insn_length for ARM, then GDB will likely crash. Which is why I said only "sort of" broken. Right now we don't use gdb_buffered_insn_length with ARM, so maybe it isn't broken yet? Anyway to prove to myself that there was a problem here I extended the disassembler self tests in disasm-selftests.c to include a test of gdb_buffered_insn_length. As I run the test for all architectures, I do indeed see GDB crash for ARM. To fix this we need gdb_buffered_insn_length to create a disassembler that inherits from gdb_disassemble_info, but we also need this new disassembler to not print anything. And so, I introduce a new gdb_non_printing_disassembler class, this is a disassembler that doesn't print anything to the output stream. I then observed that both ARC and S12Z also create non-printing disassemblers, but these are slightly different. While the disassembler in gdb_non_printing_disassembler reads the instruction from a buffer, the ARC and S12Z disassemblers read from target memory using target_read_code. And so, I further split gdb_non_printing_disassembler into two sub-classes, gdb_non_printing_memory_disassembler and gdb_non_printing_buffer_disassembler. The new selftests now pass, but otherwise, there should be no user visible changes after this commit.
2022-06-15gdb/python: implement the print_insn extension language hookAndrew Burgess12-1/+2648
This commit extends the Python API to include disassembler support. The motivation for this commit was to provide an API by which the user could write Python scripts that would augment the output of the disassembler. To achieve this I have followed the model of the existing libopcodes disassembler, that is, instructions are disassembled one by one. This does restrict the type of things that it is possible to do from a Python script, i.e. all additional output has to fit on a single line, but this was all I needed, and creating something more complex would, I think, require greater changes to how GDB's internal disassembler operates. The disassembler API is contained in the new gdb.disassembler module, which defines the following classes: DisassembleInfo Similar to libopcodes disassemble_info structure, has read-only properties: address, architecture, and progspace. And has methods: __init__, read_memory, and is_valid. Each time GDB wants an instruction disassembled, an instance of this class is passed to a user written disassembler function, by reading the properties, and calling the methods (and other support methods in the gdb.disassembler module) the user can perform and return the disassembly. Disassembler This is a base-class which user written disassemblers should inherit from. This base class provides base implementations of __init__ and __call__ which the user written disassembler should override. DisassemblerResult This class can be used to hold the result of a call to the disassembler, it's really just a wrapper around a string (the text of the disassembled instruction) and a length (in bytes). The user can return an instance of this class from Disassembler.__call__ to represent the newly disassembled instruction. The gdb.disassembler module also provides the following functions: register_disassembler This function registers an instance of a Disassembler sub-class as a disassembler, either for one specific architecture, or, as a global disassembler for all architectures. builtin_disassemble This provides access to GDB's builtin disassembler. A common use case that I see is augmenting the existing disassembler output. The user code can call this function to have GDB disassemble the instruction in the normal way. The user gets back a DisassemblerResult object, which they can then read in order to augment the disassembler output in any way they wish. This function also provides a mechanism to intercept the disassemblers reads of memory, thus the user can adjust what GDB sees when it is disassembling. The included documentation provides a more detailed description of the API. There is also a new CLI command added: maint info python-disassemblers This command is defined in the Python gdb.disassemblers module, and can be used to list the currently registered Python disassemblers.
2022-06-15gdb: add extension language print_insn hookAndrew Burgess6-4/+78
This commit is setup for the next commit. In the next commit I will add a Python API to intercept the print_insn calls within GDB, each print_insn call is responsible for disassembling, and printing one instruction. After the next commit it will be possible for a user to write Python code that either wraps around the existing disassembler, or even, in extreme situations, entirely replaces the existing disassembler. This commit does not add any new Python API. What this commit does is put the extension language framework in place for a print_insn hook. There's a new callback added to 'struct extension_language_ops', which is then filled in with nullptr for Python and Guile. Finally, in the disassembler, the code is restructured so that the new extension language function ext_lang_print_insn is called before we delegate to gdbarch_print_insn. After this, the next commit can focus entirely on providing a Python implementation of the new print_insn callback. There should be no user visible change after this commit.
2022-06-15gdb: add new base class to gdb_disassemblerAndrew Burgess4-52/+154
The motivation for this change is an upcoming Python disassembler API that I would like to add. As part of that change I need to create a new disassembler like class that contains a disassemble_info and a gdbarch. The management of these two objects is identical to how we manage these objects within gdb_disassembler, so it might be tempting for my new class to inherit from gdb_disassembler. The problem however, is that gdb_disassembler has a tight connection between its constructor, and its print_insn method. In the constructor the ui_file* that is passed in is replaced with a member variable string_file*, and then in print_insn, the contents of the member variable string_file are printed to the original ui_file*. What this means is that the gdb_disassembler class has a tight coupling between its constructor and print_insn; the class just isn't intended to be used in a situation where print_insn is not going to be called, which is how my (upcoming) sub-class would need to operate. My solution then, is to separate out the management of the disassemble_info and gdbarch into a new gdb_disassemble_info class, and make this class a parent of gdb_disassembler. In arm-tdep.c and mips-tdep.c, where we used to cast the disassemble_info->application_data to a gdb_disassembler, we can now cast to a gdb_disassemble_info as we only need to access the gdbarch information. Now, my new Python disassembler sub-class will still want to print things to an output stream, and so we will want access to the dis_asm_fprintf functionality for printing. However, rather than move this printing code into the gdb_disassemble_info base class, I have added yet another level of hierarchy, a gdb_printing_disassembler, thus the class structure is now: struct gdb_disassemble_info {}; struct gdb_printing_disassembler : public gdb_disassemble_info {}; struct gdb_disassembler : public gdb_printing_disassembler {}; In a later commit my new Python disassembler will inherit from gdb_printing_disassembler. The reason for adding the additional layer to the class hierarchy is that in yet another commit I intend to rewrite the function gdb_buffered_insn_length, and to do this I will be creating yet more disassembler like classes, however, these will not print anything, thus I will add a gdb_non_printing_disassembler class that also inherits from gdb_disassemble_info. Knowing that that change is coming, I've gone with the above class hierarchy now. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
2022-06-15gdb/python: convert gdbpy_err_fetch to use gdbpy_refAndrew Burgess2-17/+14
Convert the gdbpy_err_fetch class to make use of gdbpy_ref, this removes the need for manual reference count management, and allows the destructor to be removed. There should be no functional change after this commit. I think this cleanup is worth doing on its own, however, in a later commit I will want to copy instances of gdbpy_err_fetch, and switching to using gdbpy_ref means that I can rely on the default copy constructor, without having to add one that handles the reference counts, so this is good preparation for that upcoming change.

Some ravenscar runtimes implement lazy FPU handling. On these runtimes, the FPU is only initialized when a task tries to use it. Furthermore, the FP registers aren't automatically saved on a task switch -- instead, the save is deferred until the new task tries to use the FPU. Furthermore, each task's context area has a flag indicating whether the FPU has been initialized for this task. This patch teaches GDB to understand this implementation. When fetching or storing registers, GDB now checks to see whether the live FP registers should be used. If not, the task's saved FP registers will be used if the task has caused FPU initialization. Currently only AArch64 uses this code. bb-runtimes implements this for ARM as well, but GDB doesn't yet have an arm-ravenscar-thread.c.
2022-06-14Reimplement ravenscar registers using tablesTom Tromey7-580/+206
Currently, the ravenscar-thread implementation for each architecture is written by hand. However, these are actually written by copy-paste. It seems better to switch to a table-driven approach. The previous code also fetched all registers whenever any register was requested. This is corrected in the new implementation.
2022-06-14Fix bugs in aarch64-ravenscar-thread.cTom Tromey1-13/+10
We found a few bugs in aarch64-ravenscar-thread.c. First, some of the register offsets were incorrect. The "bb-runtimes" file for this runtime had the wrong offsets in comments, which GDB took to be correct. However, those comments didn't account for alignment. This patch adjusts the offsets. Next, the "FPU Saved field" is not a register -- it is an implementation detail of the runtime. This is removed. Finally, I think the FP registers are actually named V0-V31, and the "Q" names are pseudo-registers. This patch fixes the comment.
2022-06-14Allow 'interrupt -a' in all-stop modeTom Tromey3-3/+74
PR gdb/17160 points out that "interrupt -a" errors in all-stop mode, but there's no good reason for this. This patch removes the error. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17160
2022-06-14gdbserver: Add LoongArch/Linux supportYouling Tang3-1/+27
Implement LoongArch/Linux support, including XML target description handling based on features determined, GPR regset support, and software breakpoint handling. In the Linux kernel code of LoongArch, ptrace implements PTRACE_POKEUSR and PTRACE_PEEKUSR in the arch_ptrace function, so srv_linux_usrregs is set to yes. With this patch on LoongArch: $ make check-gdb TESTS="gdb.server/server-connect.exp" [...] # of expected passes 18 [...] Signed-off-by: Youling Tang <tangyouling@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@loongson.cn>

The var-create command samples the value of the variable at a location where the variable is not yet initialized, and with target board unix we accidentally hit a valid address, but with target board unix/-m32 that's not the case.

2022-06-14Debug support for global alias variableKavitha Natarajan3-24/+114
Starting with (future) Clang 15 (since https://reviews.llvm.org/D120989), Clang emits the DWARF information of global alias variables as DW_TAG_imported_declaration. However, GDB does not handle it. It incorrectly always reads this tag as C++/Fortran imported declaration (type alias, namespace alias and Fortran module). This commit adds support to handle this tag as an alias variable. This change fixes the failures in the gdb.base/symbol-alias.exp testcase with current git Clang. This testcase is also updated to test nested (recursive) aliases.

2022-06-13gdb:csky add support target-descriptions for CSKY archJiangshuai Li2-6/+506
Registers in CSKY architecture included: 1. 32 gprs 2. 16 ars (alternative gprs used for quick interrupt) 3. hi, lo, pc 4. fr0~fr31, fcsr, fid, fesr 5. vr0~vr15 6. ((32 banks) * 32) cr regs (max 32 banks, 32 control regs a bank) For register names: Except over control registers, other registers, like gprs, hi, lo ... are fixed names. Among the 32*32 control registers, some used registers will have fixed names, others will have a default name "cpxcry". 'x' refers to bank, y refers index in the bank(a control register in bank 4 with index 14 will has a default name cp4cr14). For register numbers in GDB: We assign a fixed number to each register in GDB, like: r0~r31 with 0~31 hi, lo with 36, 37 fpu/vpu with 40~71 ... described in function csky_get_supported_register_by_index(). Function csky_get_supported_tdesc_registers_count(): To calculate the total number of registers that GDB can analyze, including those with fixed names and those with default register names. Function csky_get_supported_register_by_index(): To find a supported struct csky_supported_tdesc_register, return a struct include name with regnum via index. Arrays csky_supported_tdesc_feature_names[]: Include all supported feature names in tdesc-xmls. We use the information described above to load the register description file of the target from the stub. When loading, do a little check that whether the register description file contains SP, LR and PC.
