target_follow_exec is currently only called in the "follow-exec-mode ==
new" branch of follow_exec, not the "follow-exec-mode == same" branch.
I think it would make sense to call it regardless of the mode to let
targets do some necessary handling.
This is needed in the context of rocm-gdb [1], where a target is pushed
on top of the linux-nat target. On exec, it needs to do some
bookkeeping, close some file descriptors / handles that were related to
the process pre-exec and open some new ones for the process post-exec.
However, by looking at the only in-tree implementation of
target_ops::follow_exec, remote_target::follow_exec, I found that it
would be useful for the extended-remote target too, to align its
behavior with native debugging (although I think that behavior is not
very user-friendly, see PR 27745 [2]).
Using two programs, one (let's call it "execer") that execs the other
(let's call it "execee"), with native:
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory ./execer
Reading symbols from ./execer...
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer
I am execer
process 1495622 is executing new program: /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execee
I am execee

(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execee
I am execee
[Inferior 1 (process 1495626) exited normally]
And now with gdbserver (some irrelevant output lines removed for brevity):
$ ./gdbserver --once --multi :1234
...
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory ./execer -ex "set remote exec-file /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer" -ex "tar ext :1234"

Reading /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer from remote target...

When handling the exec, GDB updates the exec-file of the inferior to be
the execee. This means that a subsequent "run" will run the execee, not
the original executable (execer).
remote_target::follow_exec is meant to update the "remote exec-file",
which is the file on the remote system that will be executed if you
"run" the inferior, to the execee as well. However, this is not called
when follow-exec-mode is same, because target_follow_exec is not called
in this branch. As a result, GDB thinks the inferior is executing
execee but the remote side is really executing execer, hence the
mismatch message.
By calling target_follow_exec in the "same" branch of the follow_exec
function, we ensure that everybody agrees, and we get the same behavior
with the extended-remote target as we get with the native target, the
execee is executed on the second run:
$ ./gdbserver --once --multi :1234
...
$ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory ./execer -ex "set remote exec-file /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/execer" -ex "tar ext :1234"

This scenario is tested in gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp, and in fact this
patch fixes the test for me when using
--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver.

Incorrect dates in last 3 ChangeLog entries for gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog.

The remaining duplicates are resolved by adding a with_test_prefix and
reindenting a proc. I also added a couple of additional test names to
some of the tests.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.guile/scm-pretty-print.exp (run_lang_tests): Give some tests
unique names, also wrap proc body in with_test_prefix.
|
|
This commit resolves almost all of the remaining duplicate test names
in gdb.guile/*.exp. This is done by either:
- Making use of with_test_prefix,
- Giving tests a unique name,
- Extending the existing name to make it unique,
- Not printing PASS lines for simple setup commands (e.g. loading
support modules, or adjusting GDB internal settings not relating to
guile).
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.guile/scm-frame-args.exp: Add with_test_prefix to resolve
duplicate test names.
* gdb.guile/scm-parameter.exp: Provide test names to avoid
duplicate names based on the command being run.
* gdb.guile/scm-symbol.exp: Extend test name to make it unique.
* gdb.guile/scm-type.exp (restart_gdb): Don't print PASS line when
loading a support module.
(test_equality): Update test name to match the actual test, making
the name unique in the process.
* gdb.guile/scm-value.exp (test_value_in_inferior): Add test names
to resolve duplicate tests.
(test_inferior_function_call): Likewise.
(test_subscript_regression): Likewise.

The guile support library has some "tests" that are actually being
used to setup GDB ready for the real guile tests, e.g. we load some
support modules, and define some helper functions.
As this setup is done every time we call gdb_guile_runto_main, which
could be called multiple times in a single test script, this can lead
to duplicate PASS lines.
As this setup is all pretty basic, and isn't the actual focus of the
real tests, then in this commit I pass an empty test name through to
the gdb_test_no_output calls, the result of this is that the PASS
lines are no longer printed. This removes some duplicate tests from
the gdb.guile/*.exp set of tests.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/guile.exp (gdb_scm_load_file): Use empty test name to
silence PASS lines.
(gdb_install_guile_module): Likewise.

When we want to fetch tags from a memory range, the last address in that
range is not included.
There is a off-by-one error in aarch64_mte_get_tag_granules, which this
patch fixes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2021-05-13 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* arch/aarch64-mte-linux.c (aarch64_mte_get_tag_granules): Don't
include the last address in the range.

This avoids some manual memory management.
cmdpy_init correctly transfers ownership of the name to the
cmd_list_element, as it sets the name_allocated flag. However,
cmdpy_init (and add_setshow_generic) doesn't, it looks like the name is
just leaked. This is a bit tricky, because it actually creates two
commands (one set and one show), it would take a bit of refactoring of
the command code to give each their own allocated copy. For now, just
keep doing what the current code does but in a more explicit fashion,
with an explicit release.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/python-internal.h (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Return
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.
* python/py-cmd.c (gdbpy_parse_command_name): Likewise.
(cmdpy_init): Adjust.
* python/py-param.c (parmpy_init): Adjust.
(add_setshow_generic): Take gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr, release it
when done.

Previously, the prefixname field of struct cmd_list_element was manually
set for prefix commands. This seems verbose and error prone as it
required every single call to functions adding prefix commands to
specify the prefix name while the same information can be easily
generated.
Historically, this was not possible as the prefix field was null for
many commands, but this was fixed in commit
3f4d92ebdf7f848b5ccc9e8d8e8514c64fde1183 by Philippe Waroquiers, so
we can rely on the prefix field being set when generating the prefix
name.
This commit also fixes a use after free in this scenario:
* A command gets created via Python (using the gdb.Command class).
The prefix name member is dynamically allocated.
* An alias to the new command is created. The alias's prefixname is set
to point to the prefixname for the original command with a direct
assignment.
* A new command with the same name as the Python command is created.
* The object for the original Python command gets freed and its
prefixname gets freed as well.
* The alias is updated to point to the new command, but its prefixname
is not updated so it keeps pointing to the freed one.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* command.h (add_prefix_cmd): Remove the prefixname argument as
it can now be generated automatically. Update all callers.
(add_basic_prefix_cmd): Ditto.

* cli/cli-decode.h (struct cmd_list_element): Replace the
prefixname member variable with a method which generates the
prefix name at runtime. Update all code reading the prefix
name to use the method, and remove all code setting it.
* python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_destroyer): Remove code to free the
prefixname member as it's now a method.
(cmdpy_function): Determine if the command is a prefix by
looking at prefixlist, not prefixname.

The test-case gdb.base/watch_thread_num.exp contains an infrun regexp:
...
-re "infrun:" {
...
which doesn't trigger because:
- the test-case doesn't contain "set debug infrun 1", and
- if we hack the test-case to add this, the regexp doesn't match
because "[infrun] " is printed instead.
Make the test pass with "set debug infrun 1" and add the setting commented
out.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

When running check-read1, I run into a timeout in test-case
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp:

gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: expect eof #0: stepped 0 times
FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp: 50 SIGTERM passes
...
The corresponding gdb_test_multiple has an exp_continue clause, but it doesn't
trigger because the regexp greps for 'infrun: ' instead of '[infrun] '.
Fix the timeout by fixing the infrun regexp.

Breakpoint location is modified to "return" statement which is
outside the DO loop. Because the label 100 of DO loop should get
executed for each iteration as shared in this external link:
http://www-pnp.physics.ox.ac.uk/~gronbech/intfor/node18.html.
flang compiler is following this fortran standard, whereas gfortran
compiler is not following, hence the test case is passing with
gfortran and failing with flang. but to correct this gfortran
behavior, bug has been filed in bugzilla
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99816). As reported in
the bug, with gfortran, label 100 of DO loop is reached only after
the completion of the entire DO loop. Hence at label 100, all the
array elements are set and printing of array element a(2) succeeds.
whereas with flang, when we are at label 100 for first time, array
element a(2) is not yet set, only a(1) is set, hence moving the
breakpoint location to outside the DO loop, so that once we are
outside the DO loop, we can print any of the array elements. This
change in test case is done irrespective of any fortran compiler.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.fortran/array-element.exp: Breakpoint location is modified.

PR 27614 shows that gdb-add-index fails to generate the index when its
argument is a symlink.
The following one liner illustrates the reported problem:
$ echo 'int main(){}'|gcc -g -x c -;ln -s a.out symlink;gdb-add-index symlink
gdb-add-index: No index was created for symlink
gdb-add-index: [Was there no debuginfo? Was there already an index?]
$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 25712 Mar 19 23:05 a.out*
-rw------- 1 8277 Mar 19 23:05 a.out.gdb-index
lrwxrwxrwx 1 5 Mar 19 23:05 symlink -> a.out*
GDB generates the .gdb-index file with a name that matches the name of
the actual program (a.out.gdb-index here), not the symlink that
references it. The remaining of the script is looking for a file named
after the provided argument (would be 'symlink.gdb-index' in our
example).

Date: Wed May 5 16:50:17 2021 +0100
gdb/guile: perform tilde expansion when sourcing guile scripts
A test was added that tries to source a guile script from the users
HOME directory. In order to achieve this the test (temporarily)
modifies $HOME to point into the binutils-gdb source tree.
The problem with this is that sourcing a guile script can cause the
guile script to be byte compiled and written into a .cache/ directory,
which is stored .... in the $HOME directory.
The result was that the test added in the above commit would cause a
.cache/ directory to be added into the binutils-gdb source tree.
In this commit the test is updated to create a new directory in the
build tree, the file we want to source is copied over, and $HOME is
set to point at the location in the build tree. Now when the test is
run the .cache/ directory is created in the build tree, leaving the
source tree untouched.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.guile/guile.exp: Don't use the source directory as a
temporary HOME directory.

This test has a little oversight: the test procedure doesn't actually
use its parameters, the commands and expected patterns are hard-coded,
so we always test with i386:x86-64, instead of with the three arches.
Fix that.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/amd64-osabi.exp (test_osabi_none): Use the

I was looking at some "set debug lin-lwp" logs, and saw that a thread
received the "Child exited" signal. It took me a moment to realize that
this was SIGCHLD. I then thought that it would be nice for
status_to_str to show the signal name (SIGCHLD) in addition to the
description "Child exited", since people are much more used to referring
to signals using their names.
Fortunately, libiberty contains a handy function to get the signal name
from the signal number, strsigno, use that.
The output of "set debug lin-lwp" now looks like:
[linux-nat] linux_nat_wait_1: waitpid 1209631 received SIGTRAP - Trace/breakpoint trap (stopped)

Converts the debug print out in python/py-unwind.c to use the new
debug printing scheme. I have also modified what is printed in a few
places, for example, rather than printing frame pointers, I now print

frame' tracing, and is usually more helpful (I think).

Replace fprint_frame_id with a member function frame_id::to_string
that returns a std::string. Convert all of the previous users of

instead of writing things like this:
fprintf_unfiltered (file, " id=");
fprint_frame_id (file, s->id.id);
We can write this:
fprintf_unfiltered (file, " id=%s", s->id.id.to_string ().c_str ());

Currently, in order to tell whether support for disabling address
space randomization on Linux is available, GDB checks if the
personality syscall works, at configure time. I.e., it does a run
test, instead of a compile/link test:
AC_RUN_IFELSE([PERSONALITY_TEST],
[have_personality=true],
[have_personality=false],
This is a bit bogus, because the machine the build is done on may not
(and is when you consider distro gdbs) be the machine that eventually
runs gdb. It would be better if this were a compile/link test
instead, and then at runtime, GDB coped with the personality syscall
failing. Actually, GDB already copes.
One environment where this is problematic is building GDB in a Docker
container -- by default, Docker runs the container with seccomp, with
a profile that disables the personality syscall. You can tell Docker
to use a less restricted seccomp profile, but I think we should just
fix it in GDB.
"man 2 personality" says:
This system call first appeared in Linux 1.1.20 (and thus first
in a stable kernel release with Linux 1.2.0); library support
was added in glibc 2.3.
...
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE (since Linux 2.6.12)
With this flag set, disable address-space-layout randomization.
glibc 2.3 was released in 2002.
Linux 2.6.12 was released in 2005.
The original patch that added the configure checks was submitted in
2008. The first version of the patch that was submitted to the list
called personality from common code:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058204.html
and then was moved to Linux-specific code:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2008-June/058209.html
Since HAVE_PERSONALITY is only checked in Linux code, and
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE exists for over 15 years, I propose just completely
removing the configure checks.
If for some odd reason, some remotely modern system still needs a
configure check, then we can revert this commit but drop the
AC_RUN_IFELSE in favor of always doing the AC_LINK_IFELSE
cross-compile fallback.

Before this patch:
(gdb) source ~/script.scm
ERROR: In procedure apply-smob/1:
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: Unable to find file "~/script.scm" in load path
Error while executing Scheme code.
(gdb)
This is because the path is not tilde expanded. In contrast, when
sourcing a .py or .gdb script the path is tilde expanded.
This commit fixes this oversight, and allows the above source command
to work as expected.
The tilde expansion is done in the generic GDB code before we call the
sourcer function for any particular extension language.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-cmds.c: Add 'gdbsupport/gdb_tilde_expand.h'
include.
(source_script_with_search): Perform tilde expansion.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.guile/guile.exp: Add an extra test.

I noticed gdb.base/ptype-offsets.exp failing occasionally, this was
due to lines like this in the test script:
send_gdb "set print type hex on\n"
As this does not match the '(gdb)' prompt that is produced, the prompt
would sometimes be matched against the next test, causing the next
test to think its output was missing and fail.
Fix this by switching to:
gdb_test_no_output "set print type hex on"
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/ptype-offsets.exp: Replace use of send_gdb with
gdb_test_no_output.

To make the management of memory automatic.
As to why I chose to make this an std::string and not an
std::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>: some parts of the code consider both a
NULL value and an empty string value to mean "no filename".
target_desc_info_from_user_p, however, doesn't check for a non-NULL but
empty string value. So it seems like having two ways of denoting "no
filename" can lead to these kinds of inconsistencies. Using
std::string, "no filename" is only represented by an empty value.
As a bonus, using an std::string lets us copy target_desc_info objects
using the default assignment operator.

In my opinion, the target_desc_fetched, current_target_desc and
target_description_filename macros in target-descriptions.c are not very
useful. I don't think it's useful to hide that they operate on the
current inferior, as everything currently works under the assumption
that the various tdesc commands operate on the current inferior, and I
don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.
This change also avoids having multiple unnecessary calls to
current_inferior and get_tdesc_info per function.

target_stack::unpush needs to get the target beneath the target being
unpushed to update the m_top field (which keeps the stratum of the
top-most target). It currently does so using target_ops::beneath, which
uses the target stack of the current inferior. The target stack of the
current inferior is the same as the `this` in the unpush method.
Avoid this detour and remove this reference to the current inferior by
calling target_ops::find_beneath and passing `this` to find the target
beneath `t` in the target stack that is `this`.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.c (target_stack::unpush): Call target_ops::find_beneath

The target_close function currently checks that the target to be closed
isn't pushed in the current inferior:
gdb_assert (!current_inferior ()->target_is_pushed (targ));
Normally, a target is closed when its refcount has dropped to 0, due to
not being used in any inferior anymore. I think it would make sense to
change that assert to not only check in the current inferior, but to
check in all inferiors. It would be quite bad (and a bug) to close a
target while it's still pushed in one of the non-current inferiors.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.c (target_close): Check in all inferiors that the
target is not pushed.

the first initialized client for the remainder of the GDB session and
use it for every debuginfod query.

Re-format all Python files using black [1] version 21.4b0. The goal is
that from now on, we keep all Python files formatted using black. And
that we never have to discuss formatting during review (for these files
at least) ever again.
One change is needed in gdb.python/py-prettyprint.exp, because it
matches the string representation of an exception, which shows source
code. So the change in formatting must be replicated in the expected
regexp.
To document our usage of black I plan on adding this to the "GDB Python
Coding Standards" wiki page [2]:
--8<--
All Python source files under the `gdb/` directory must be formatted
using black version 21.4b0.
This specific version can be installed using:
$ pip3 install 'black == 21.4b0'
All you need to do to re-format files is run `black <file/directory>`,
and black will re-format any Python file it finds in there. It runs
quite fast, so the simplest is to do:
$ black gdb/
from the top-level.
If you notice that black produces changes unrelated to your patch, it's
probably because someone forgot to run it before you. In this case,
don't include unrelated hunks in your patch. Push an obvious patch
fixing the formatting and rebase your work on top of that.
-->8--
Once this is merged, I plan on setting a up an `ignoreRevsFile`
config so that git-blame ignores this commit, as described here:
https://github.com/psf/black#migrating-your-code-style-without-ruining-git-blame
I also plan on working on a git commit hook (checked in the repo) to
automatically check the formatting of the Python files on commit.

In code dealing with commands, there's a pattern repeated a few times of
calling lookup_cmd with some speficic arguments and then using strcmp
on the returned command to check for an exact match.
As a later patch would add a few more similar lines of code, this patch
adds a new lookup_cmd_exact function which simplify this use case.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* cli/cli-decode.c (lookup_cmd_exact): Add.
* cli/cli-script.c (do_define_command): Use lookup_cmd_exact.
(define_prefix_command): Ditto.

With the test-case attached in PR26327, gdb aborts:

...
We're recursing in this code in dwarf2_cu::get_builder():
...
/* Otherwise, search ancestors for a valid builder. */
if (ancestor != nullptr)
return ancestor->get_builder ();
...
due to the fact that the ancestor chain is a cycle.
Higher up in the call stack, we find some code that is responsible for
triggering this, in new_symbol:
...
case DW_TAG_formal_parameter:
{
/* If we are inside a function, mark this as an argument. If
not, we might be looking at an argument to an inlined function
when we do not have enough information to show inlined frames;
pretend it's a local variable in that case so that the user can
still see it. */
struct context_stack *curr
= cu->get_builder ()->get_current_context_stack ();
if (curr != nullptr && curr->name != nullptr)
SYMBOL_IS_ARGUMENT (sym) = 1;
...
This is code that was added to support pre-4.1 gcc, to be able to show
arguments of inlined functions as locals, in the absense of sufficiently
correct debug information.
Removing this code (that is, doing SYMBOL_IS_ARGUMENT (sym) = 1
unconditially), fixes the crash. The ancestor variable also seems to have
been added specifically to deal with fallout from this code, so remove that as
well.
Tested on x86_64-linux:
- openSUSE Leap 15.2 with gcc 7.5.0, and
- openSUSE Tumbleweed with gcc 10.3.0.

Currently, using the guile API, if a user tries to print a breakpoint
object that represents a watchpoint, then GDB will crash. For
example:
(gdb) guile (use-modules (gdb))
(gdb) guile (define wp1 (make-breakpoint "some_variable" #:type BP_WATCHPOINT #:wp-class WP_WRITE))
(gdb) guile (register-breakpoint! wp1)
(gdb) guile (display wp1) (newline)
Aborted (core dumped)
This turns out to be because GDB calls event_location_to_string on the
breakpoints location, and watchpoint breakpoints don't have a
location.
This commit resolves the crash by just skipping the printing of the
location if the breakpoint doesn't have one.
Potentially, we could improve on this by printing details about what
the watchpoint is watching, however, I'm considering this a possible
future enhancement, this commit focuses just on having GDB not crash.

* guile/scm-breakpoint.c (bpscm_print_breakpoint_smob): Only print
