In a later commit I want target_fileio_stat, that is a call that
operates on a filename rather than an open file descriptor as
target_fileio_fstat does.
This commit adds the initial framework for target_fileio_stat, I've
added the top level target function and the virtual target_ops methods
in the target_ops base class.
At this point no actual targets override target_ops::fileio_stat, so
any attempts to call this function will return ENOSYS error code.

When running test-case gdb.arch/arm-pseudo-unwind.exp with target board
unix/mthumb, we run into:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
^M
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.^M
0x00400f38 in ?? ()^M
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: continue to breakpoint: continue to callee
...
The test-case attempts to force arm-pseudo-unwind.c to be compiled in arm mode
using additional_flags=-marm, but that's overridden by using target board
unix/mthumb.
This causes function main to be in thumb mode, and consequently function
caller (which is called from main) is is executed as if it's in thumb mode,
while it's actually in arm mode.
Fix this by adding an intermediate function caller_trampoline in
arm-pseudo-unwind.c, and hardcoding it to arm mode using
__attribute__((target("arm"))).
Likewise for test-case gdb.arch/arm-pseudo-unwind-legacy.exp.
Tested on arm-linux.

It is obvious that pspace is the same as current_program_space in these
cases, due to the set_current_program_space call just above. The rest
of the functions probably care about the current program space though,
so leave the set_cset_current_program_space calls there.

Currently you get this assertion failure if you try to execute the

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,

```
The change in step-precsave.exp triggers this bug, since now the
recording is loaded in a new gdb session, where
record_full_resume_ptid was never set.
The fix is to simply set record_full_resume_ptid when resuming a loaded
recording.

I ran into the following test failure with test-case
gdb.base/bg-execution-repeat.exp:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/bg-execution-repeat.exp: c&: repeat bg command
^M
Breakpoint 2, foo () at bg-execution-repeat.c:23^M

$1 = 1^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/bg-execution-repeat.exp: c&: input still accepted
FAIL: gdb.base/bg-execution-repeat.exp: c&: breakpoint hit 2 (timeout)
...
The failure can be easily reproduced by adding a sleep 5 here:
...
+ sleep 5
gdb_test "print 1" " = 1" "input still accepted"
...
There's a race in the test-case, between:
- the command handled in the foreground: the "print 1" command, and
- the command handled in the background: the continue command.
The current way of dealing with this is by putting the inferior to sleep for 5
seconds:
...
foo ();
sleep (5);
foo ();
...
with the aim that the "print 1" command will win the race.
This method is both slow and unreliable.
Fix this by making the inferior wait till the "print 1" command is done.
This reduces running time from ~11s to ~1s.
I also verified that the test-case still triggers on the original problem by
applying this gdb/infcmd.c patch:
...

In case a DIE contains a linkage name which cannot be demangled and
a source language name (DW_AT_NAME) exists then we want to display this name
instead of the non-demangeable linkage name.
dwarf2_physname returns the linkage name in case the linkage name
cannot be demangled. Before this patch we always set the returned physname
as demangled name. This patch changes this by comparing the value
of physname with the linkage name. Now after this change in case it is equals
to the linkage name and if DW_AT_NAME exists then this is set as the demangled
name otherwise like before still linkage name is used.
For the reproducer, using the test source file added in this change:
"gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-wrong-mangled-name.c"
Here is an example of the DWARF where wrong linkage name is emitted by the
compiler for the "func_demangled_test" function:
subprogram {
{MACRO_AT_range {func_demangled_test}}
{linkage_name "_FUNC_WRONG_MANGLED__"}
{name "func_demangled_test"}
{external 1 flag}
}
subprogram {
{MACRO_AT_range {main}}
{external 1 flag}
{name main}
{main_subprogram 1 flag}
}
Before this change for a function having both DIEs DW_AT_name and
DW_AT_LINKAGENAME but with the wrong linkage name info, the backtrace
command shows following:
(gdb) b func_demangled_test
(gdb) r
Breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555555131 in _FUNC_WRONG_MANGLED__ ()
(gdb) backtrace
\#0 0x0000555555555131 in _FUNC_WRONG_MANGLED__ ()
\#1 0x000055555555514a in main ()
After the change now GDB shows the name emitted by DW_AT_NAME:
(gdb) b func_demangled_test
(gdb) r
Breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555555131 in func_demangled_test ()
(gdb) backtrace
\#0 0x0000555555555131 in func_demangled_test ()
\#1 0x000055555555514a in main ()
A new test is added to verify this change.

A few spots in gdb were using htab_traverse. IMO this is almost never

The call site hash table is the last hash table using obstack
allocation. In one large (non-public) test case, these hash tables
take a substiantial amount of memory. Some of this memory is wasted
-- whenever the hash table is resized, the old table is not freed.
This patch fixes the problem by changing this hash table to be
heap-allocated. This means that resizing will no longer "leak"
memory.

It seemed cleaner to me for compunit_symtab to have a
forget_cached_source_info method, then for the objfile to know how to
do this.
|
|
This rearranges symtab so that the private members appear at the end,
and then adds the "private" keyword.
|
|
This renames symtab::fullname to m_fullname and adds new accessor
methods.
|
|
The CU dependency hash table is obstack-allocated, but there's no need
to do this.
|
|
The DIE hash table is currently allocated on an obstack. There's no
need to do this, and I think it's better to simply heap-allocate the
hash table.
This patch implements this. I also removed store_in_ref_table as
well, inlining it into its sole caller, as I think this is clearer.

When building with 'make -j20 -C gdb/doc all-doc' I often see problems
caused from trying to build some dvi files in parallel with some pdf
files. The problem files are: gdb.dvi and gdb.pdf; stabs.dvi and
stabs.pdf; and annotate.dvi and annotate.pdf.
The problem is that building these files create temporary files in the
local directory. There's already a race here that two make threads
might try to create these files at the same time.
But it gets worse, to avoid issues where a failed build could leave
these temporary files in a corrupted state, and so prevent the next
build from succeeding, the recipe for each of these files deletes all
the temporary files first, this obviously causes problems if some
other thread has already started the build and is relying on these
temporary files.
To work around this problem I propose we start using the --build and
--build-dir options for texi2dvi (which is the same tool used to
create the pdf files). These options were added in texinfo 4.9 which
was released in June 2007. We already require using a version of
texinfo after 4.9 (I tried to build with 4.13 and the doc build failed
as some of the texinfo constructs were not understood), so this patch
has not changed the minimum required version at all.
The --build flag allows the temporary files to be placed into a
sub-directory, and the --build-dir option allows us to control the
name of that sub-directory.
What we do is create a unique sub-directory for each target that
invokes texi2dvi, all of the unique sub-directories are created within
a single directory texi2dvi_tmpdir, and so after a complete doc build,
we are left with a build tree like this:
build/gdb/doc/
'-- texi2dvi_tmpdir/
|-- annotate_dvi/
|-- annotate_pdf/
|-- gdb_dvi/
|-- gdb_pdf/
|-- stabs_dvi/
'-- stabs_pdf/
I've left out all the individual files that live within these
directories for simplicity.
To avoid corrupted temporary files preventing a future build to
complete, each recipe deletes its associated sub-directory from within
texi2dvi_tmpdir/ before it attempts a build, this ensures a fresh
start each time.
And the mostlyclean target deletes texi2dvi_tmpdir/ and all its
sub-directories, ensuring that everything is cleaned up.
For me, with this fix in place, I can now run 'make -j20 -C gdb/doc
all-doc' without seeing any build problems.

$ make -j20 -C gdb/doc/ refcard.dvi refcard.ps refcard.pdf
These problems are:
(1) The refcard.dvi and refcard.pdf targets both try and generate the
tmp.sed and sedref.tex files. If two make threads end up trying
to create these files at the same time then the result is these
files become corrupted.
I've fixed this by creating a new rule that creates sedref.tex,
both refcard.dvi and refcard.pdf now depend on this, and make will
build sedref.tex just once. The tmp.sed file is now generated as
refcard.sed, this is generated and deleted as a temporary file
within the sedref.tex recipe.
(2) Having created sedref.tex the recipes for refcard.dvi and
refcard.pdf both run various LaTeX based tools with sedref.tex as
the input file. The problem with this is that these tools all
rely on creating temporary files calls sedref.*.
If the refcard.dvi and refcard.pdf rules run at the same time then
these temporary files clash and overwrite each other causing the
build to fail.
We already copy the result file in order to rename it, our input
file is sedref.tex which results in an output file named
sedref.dvi or sedref.pdf, but we actually want refcard.dvi or
refcard.pdf. So within the recipe for refcard.dvi I copy the
input file from sedref.tex to sedref_dvi.tex. Now all the temp
files are named sedref_dvi.* and the output is sedref_dvi.dvi, I
then rename this new output file to refcard.dvi.
I've done the same thing for refcard.pdf, but I copy the input
to sedref_pdf.tex.
In this way the temp files no longer clash, and both recipes can
safely run in parallel.
After this commit I was able to reliably build all of the refcard
targets in parallel. There should be no change in the final file.

In gdb/doc/Makefile.in the TEXI2POD variable is used to invoke
texi2pod.pl, which process the .texinfo files. This also handles the
'include' directives within the .texinfo files.
Like the texi2dvi and texi2pdf tools, texi2pod.pl handles the -I flag
to add search directories for resolving 'include' directives within
.texinfo files.
When GDB runs TEXI2POD we include gdb-cfg.texi, which then includes
GDBvn.texi.
When building from a git checkout the gdb-cfg.texi files and
GDBvn.texi files will be created in the build directory, which is
where texi2pod.pl is invoked, so the files will be found just fine.
However, for a GDB release we ship gdb-cfg.texi and GDBvn.texi in the
source tree, along with the generated manual (.1 and .5) files.
So when building a release, what normally happens is that we spot that
the .1 and .5 man files are up to date, and don't run the recipe to
regenerate these files.
However, if we deliberately touch the *.texinfo files in a release
source tree, and then try to rebuild the man files, we'll get an error
like this:
make: Entering directory '/tmp/release-build/build/gdb/doc'
TEXI2POD gdb.1
cannot find GDBvn.texi at ../../../gdb-16.0.50.20240529/gdb/doc/../../etc/texi2pod.pl line 251, <GEN0> line 16.
make: *** [Makefile:664: gdb.1] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '/tmp/release-build/build/gdb/doc'
The problem is that texi2pod.pl doesn't know to look in the source
tree for the GDBvn.texi file.
If we compare this to the recipe for creating (for example) gdb.dvi,
which uses texi2dvi, this recipe adds '-I $(srcdir)' to the texi2dvi
command line, which allows texi2dvi to find GDBvn.texi in the source
tree.
In this commit I add a similar -I option to the texi2pod.pl command
line. After this, given a GDB release, it is possible to edit (or
just touch) the gdb.texinfo file and rebuild the man pages, the
GDBvn.texi will be picked up from the source tree.
If however a dependency for GDBvn.texi is changed in a release tree
then GDBvn.texi will be regenerated into the build directory and this
will be picked up in preference to the GDBvn.texi in the source tree,
just as you would want.
