2018-12-13Change get_syscalls_by_group to append to an existing vector of integers.John Baldwin4-49/+36
This removes the need for the caller to explicitly manage the memory for the returned system call list. The sole caller only needed the system call numbers rather than the full syscall structures. get_syscalls_by_group now uses a boolean return value to indicate if the requested group exists. gdb/ChangeLog: * break-catch-syscall.c (catch_syscall_split_args): Pass 'result' to get_syscalls_by_group. * xml-syscall.c [!HAVE_LIBEXPAT] (get_syscalls_by_group): Return false. [HAVE_LIBEXPAT] (xml_list_syscalls_by_group): Append syscall numbers to an existing vector of integers and return a bool. (get_syscalls_by_group): Accept pointer to vector of integers and change return type to bool. * xml-syscall.h (get_syscalls_by_group): Likewise.

2018-12-12gdb: Update test pattern to deal with native-extended-gdbserverAndrew Burgess2-2/+25
When running the test gdb.base/annota1.exp with: make check-gdb RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver gdb.base/annota1.exp" I would see a failure due to some unexpected lines in GDB's output. The extra lines (when compared with a native run) were about file transfer from the remote back to GDB. This commit extends the regexp for this test to allow for these extra lines, and also splits the rather long regexp up into a list of parts. With this change in place I see no failures for gdb.base/annota1.exp when using the native-extended-gdbserver target board, nor with a native run on X86-64/Linux. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/annota1.exp: Update a test regexp.
2018-12-12gdb/infcall: Make infcall_suspend_state into a classAndrew Burgess2-53/+101
I ran into a situation where attempting to make an inferior function call would trigger an assertion, like this: (gdb) call some_inferior_function () ../../src/gdb/regcache.c:310: internal-error: void regcache::restore(readonly_detached_regcache*): Assertion `src != NULL' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Quit this debugging session? (y or n) The problem that triggers the assertion is that in the function save_infcall_suspend_state, we basically did this: 1. Create empty infcall_suspend_state object. 2. Fill fields of infcall_suspend_state object. The problem is causes is that if filling any of the fields triggered an exception then the infcall_suspend_state object would be deleted while in a partially filled in state. In the specific case I encountered, I had a remote RISC-V target that claimed in its target description to support floating point registers. However, this was not true, and when GDB tried to read a floating point register the remote sent back an error. This error would cause an exception to be thrown while creating the readonly_detached_regcache, which in turn caused GDB to try and delete an infcall_suspend_state which didn't have any register state, and this triggered the assertion. To prevent this problem we have two possibilities, either, rewrite the restore code the handle partially initialised infcall_suspend_state objects, or, prevent partially initialised infcall_suspend_state objects from existing. The second of these seems like a better solution. So, in this patch, I move the filling in of the different infcall_suspend_state fields within a new constructor for infcall_suspend_state. Now, if generating one of those fields fails the destructor for infcall_suspend_state will not be executed and GDB will not try to restore the partially saved state. With this patch in place GDB now behaves like this: (gdb) call some_inferior_function () Could not fetch register "ft0"; remote failure reply 'E99' (gdb) The inferior function call is aborted due to the error. This has been tested against x86-64/Linux native, native-gdbserver, and native-extended-gdbserver with no regressions. I've manually tested this against my baddly behaving target and confirmed the inferior function call is aborted as described above. gdb/ChangeLog: * infrun.c (infcall_suspend_state::infcall_suspend_state): New.

2018-12-11Fix leaks in all the linux osdata annex transfers + code factorization.Philippe Waroquiers2-929/+662
Valgrind reports leaks in all linux osdata annex transfers of linux-osdata.c. A typical leak (this one is of gdb.base/info-os) is: ==10592== VALGRIND_GDB_ERROR_BEGIN ==10592== 65,536 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 3,175 of 3,208 ==10592== at 0x4C2E273: realloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:826) ==10592== by 0x409B0C: xrealloc (common-utils.c:62) ==10592== by 0x408BC3: buffer_grow(buffer*, char const*, unsigned long) [clone .part.1] (buffer.c:40) ==10592== by 0x5263DF: linux_xfer_osdata_processes(unsigned char*, unsigned long, unsigned long) (linux-osdata.c:370) ==10592== by 0x520875: linux_nat_xfer_osdata (linux-nat.c:4214) ... The leaks are created because the linux_xfer_osdata_* functions transfer the ownership of their 'static struct buffer' memory to their 'static char *buf' local var, but then call buffer_free instead of xfree-ing buf. I see no reason why the ownership of the memory has to be transferred from a local var to another local var, so the fix consists in dropping the 'static char *buf' and accessing the struct buffer memory where needed. Also, because this bug was replicated in all functions, and there was a non neglectible amount of duplicated code, the setup and usage of the 'static struct buffer' is factorized in a new function common_getter. The buffer for a specific annex is now a member of the struct osdata_type instead of being a static var of each linux_xfer_osdata_* function. Thanks to this, all the linux_xfer_osdata_* do not have anymore any logic related to the partial transfer of data: they now only build the xml data in a struct buffer. This all removes about 300 SLOC. Note: git diff/git format-patch shows a lot of differences only due to space changes/indentation changes. So, git diff -w helps to look only at the relevant differences. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-12-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * nat/linux-osdata.c (common_getter): New function.

Recently, the xmalloc above was replaced with a xrealloc, because as can be seen above, that 'buf' variable above was a static local, otherwise we'd be leaking. This commit replaces that and the associated manual buffer growing with a gdb::def_vector<char>. I don't think there's much point in reusing the buffer across command invocations. While doing this, I realized that reverse_search_command is almost identical to forward_search_command. So this commit factors out a common helper function instead of duplicating a lot of code. There are some tests for "forward-search" in gdb.base/list.exp, but since they use the "search" alias, they were a bit harder to find than expected. That's now fixed, both by testing both variants, and by adding some commentary.

2018-12-07gdb/emacs/dir-locals: Update settings for c++-modeAndrew Burgess2-1/+12
The current .dir-locals file for GDB causes files that would usually open in c-mode (for example, files ending in .c) to open in c++-mode. However, all of the other settings applied for c-mode appear to get reset when the file is switched over to c++-mode. For example, we currently say: (c-mode . ((c-file-style . "GNU") (mode . c++) (indent-tabs-mode . t) (tab-width . 8) (c-basic-offset . 2) (eval . (c-set-offset 'innamespace 0)) )) (c++-mode . ((eval . (when (fboundp 'c-toggle-comment-style) (c-toggle-comment-style 1))))) So, when we enter c++-mode `indent-tabs-mode` is reset to its global value, as are all of the other settings listed for c-mode. This commit copies all of the settings (except the `mode` setting) from the c-mode list to the c++-mode list. The emacs documentation doesn't mention that `mode` causes this resetting behaviour, so, in case this is an emacs bug, I'm using emacs version 26.1. Having the settings duplicated shouldn't cause any problems except for a slight maintenance overhead. gdb/ChangeLog: * .dir-locals.el: Copy most of the settings from c-mode over to c++-mode.

But this fix make the nr of leaking GDB in the testsuite decreasing from 628 to 566. It is unclear why a xstrdup-ed value is assigned to 'language' at initialization time, while a static "auto" string is assigned as part of the set_language_command. So, that shows that it is ok to initialize 'language' directly with "auto". Also, I cannot find any place where 'language' is xfree-d. No leak was detected for 'range' and 'case_sensitive', but similarly, no indication why a static string cannot be assigned. Regression-tested on debian/x86_64. Also, full testsuite run under valgrind, less tests leaking, and no dangling pointer problem detected. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-12-05 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * language.c (_initialize_language): Fix leak by assigning a static string to language.

2018-12-05Use separate sed expressions to escape auto-load directories.John Baldwin3-4/+10
Not all sed implementations support alternation via \| in the default regular expressions. Instead, resort to separate sed expressions via -e for $debugdir and $datadir. This fixes the default setting of the auto-load directories on FreeBSD. Previously on FreeBSD the sed invocation was a no-op causing the debugdir and datadir values to be expanded yielding an autoload path of ':${prefix}/share/gdb'. gdb/ChangeLog: * configure: Re-generate. * configure.ac: Use separate sed expressions to escape variables in auto-load directories.
2018-12-05gdb/riscv: Improve logic for when h/w float abi should be usedAndrew Burgess2-12/+58
Currently, if the target announces that it has floating point registers in its target description then GDB assumes that the hardware float ABI should be used. However, there's nothing stopping a user compiling a program for the soft-float abi, and then trying to run this on a target with hardware floating point registers. This commit adjusts the logic that decides if GDB should use the hardware float abi. The primary decision now is based on what the ELF currently being executed says in its headers. If the file was compiled for h/w float abi, then GDB uses h/w float abi, otherwise s/w float is used. If the current BFD is not an ELF then we don't currently have a mechanism for figuring out if the file was compiled for float or not. In this case we disable the h/w float abi. This shouldn't be a problem as, right now, the RISC-V linker can only produce ELFs. If there is NO current BFD (can this happen?) then we will enable h/w float abi if the target has floating point hardware, otherwise, s/w float abi is used. This commit also adds some sanity checking that the features requested in the BFD (xlen and flen) match the target description. For testing I ran the testsuite on a target that returns a target description containing both integer and floating point registers, but used a compiler that didn't have floating point support. Before this commit I would see failures on may tests that made inferior calls using floating point arguments, after this commit, all of these issues are resolved. One example from the testsuite is gdb.base/infcall-nested-structs.exp. gdb/ChangeLog: * riscv-tdep.c (riscv_features_from_gdbarch_info): New function. (riscv_find_default_target_description): Use new function to extract feature from gdbarch_info. (riscv_gdbarch_init): Add error checks for xlen and flen between target description and bfd headers. Be smarter about when we think the hardware floating point abi should be used.
2018-12-05gdb/testsuite/sim: Remove redundant setting of timeoutAndrew Burgess2-10/+9
In the config/sim.exp file two functions are defined. Both of these functions define local timeout variables and then call gdb_expect, which (through a call to get_largest_timeout) will find the local definition of timeout. However, both of these functions set the local timeout to some arbitrary value and print a log message for this "new" timeout just before returning. As in both cases, the timeout is a local variable, this final setting of the timeout has no effect and can be removed. As having log messages about the timeout being adjusted could cause confusion I've removed all logging related to timeouts in this function, timeouts are adjusted throughout the testsuite without any logging, there doesn't seem to be any good reason why these functions should get their own logging. With the logging gone there seems to be little need to a local timeout variable at all, and so I've folded the local timeout directly into the call to gdb_expect. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * config/sim.exp (gdb_target_sim): Remove redundant adjustment of local timeout variable before return, and remove all local timeout variable entirely. (gdb_load): Likewise.
2018-12-05AArch64: Racy: Don't set empty set of hardware BPs/WPs on new threadAlan Hayward6-7/+50
On some heavily loaded AArch64 boxes, GDB will sometimes hang forever when the inferior creates a thread. This hang happens inside the kernel during the ptrace call to set hardware watchpoints or hardware breakpoints. Currently, GDB will always set hw wp/bp at the start of each thread even if there are none set in the process. This patch works around the issue by avoiding setting hw wp/bp if there are none set for the process. On an effected machine, this fix drastically reduces the racy nature of the gdb.threads test set. I ran the entire gdb test suite across all processors for 100 iterations, then ran the results through the racy tests script. Without the patch, 58 .exp files in gdb.threads were marked as racy. After the patch this reduced to the same ~14 tests as the non effected boxes. Clearly GDB will still be subject to hangs on an effect box if hw wp/bp's are used prior to creating inferior threads on a heavily loaded system. To enable this in gdbserver, the sequence in gdbserver add_lwp() is switched to the same as gdb order as gdb, to ensure the thread is registered before calling new_thread(). This allows aarch64_linux_new_thread() to read the ptid. gdb/ChangeLog: * nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c (aarch64_linux_any_set_debug_regs_state): New function. * nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.h (aarch64_linux_any_set_debug_regs_state): New declaration. * nat/aarch64-linux.c (aarch64_linux_new_thread): Check if any BPs or WPs are set. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: * linux-low.c (add_lwp): Switch ordering.
2018-12-01[gdb/testsuite] Add gdb-caching-proc.exp testcaseTom de Vries2-0/+116
When caching a proc using gdb_caching_proc, it will become less likely to be executed, and consequently it's going to be harder to detect that the proc is racy. OTOH, in general the proc is easy to rerun. So, add a test-case to run all uncached gdb_caching_procs a number of times and detect inconsistent results. The purpose of caching is to reduce runtime, so rerunning is somewhat counter-productive in that aspect, but it's better than uncached, because the number of reruns is constant-bounded, and the increase in runtime is bound to this test-case, and can be disabled on slow targets. Tested on x86_64-linux. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2018-12-01 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * gdb.base/gdb-caching-proc.exp: New file.

2018-11-30Update the conditionals in fbsd-nat.h so they are always honored.John Baldwin3-6/+32
Not all of the architecture-specific FreeBSD target files were including the right headers to enable conditionals in fbsd-nat.h after the C++ target conversion. As a result, certain operations like 'info auxv' and 'p $_siginfo' were not working for some native targets (noticed on RISC-V). Fix this in a couple of ways: 1) Declare fbsd_nat_target::xfer_partial unconditionally and only use conditionals in the function body for individual target objects. Originally this function was only used to read the ELF auxiliary vector, so the entire function was conditional on a macro required for that object (KERN_AUXV_PROC). However, xfer_partial has since grown support for additional objects. Making the function unconditional avoids needing to add the right header to fbsd-nat.h and allows each target object to use independent requirements. This did require using a more explicit conditional test for the $_siginfo support. Removing the "outer" KERN_PROC_AUXV test enabled $_siginfo for all kernels with PT_LWPINFO, but some older kernels (FreeBSD 6.0) exposed PT_LWPINFO with a different siginfo format. Instead use an explicit test for when the current siginfo format was adopted (shipped in FreeBSD 7.0). This actually enables $_siginfo on a wider range of kernels as KERN_PROC_AUXV wasn't introduced until FreeBSD 9.1/10.0. 2) Include <sys/proc.h> in fbsd-nat.h for the definition of TDP_RFPPWAIT that governs support for fork following. gdb/ChangeLog: * fbsd-nat.c [__FreeBSD_version >= 700009] (USE_SIGINFO): Macro defined. (union sigval32, struct siginfo32, fbsd_siginfo_size) (fbsd_convert_siginfo): Make conditional on USE_SIGINFO instead of KERN_PROC_AUXV and PT_LWPINFO. (fbsd_nat_target::xfer_partial): Define method unconditionally. Make TARGET_OBJECT_SIGNAL_INFO conditional on USE_SIGINFO. Make TARGET_OBJECT_AUXV conditional on KERN_PROC_AUXV. Make TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_VMMAP and TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_PS_STRINGS conditional on KERN_PROC_VMMAP and KERN_PROC_PS_STRINGS. * fbsd-nat.h: Include <sys/proc.h>.

2018-11-30gdb/riscv: Add read_description method for riscv_linux_nat_targetAndrew Burgess2-0/+44
Adds riscv_linux_nat_target::read_description method to find a suitable target description for the native linux target we are running on. Currently this will supply a suitably sized set of x-registers, and will probe the kernel to see if the f-registers are readable. If they are readable then we currently assume that the f-registers are the same size as the x-registers as I don't know of a good way to probe the f-register length. This will obviously need fixing in future. As of Linux 4.19 there is no ptrace support for reading the f-registers, this should appear in 4.20, so right now we only return target descriptions without f-registers. gdb/ChangeLog: * riscv-linux-nat.c: Add 'inferior.h' and 'target-descriptions.h' header files. (riscv_linux_nat_target::read_description): New method.
2018-11-30gdb/riscv: Create each unique target description only onceAndrew Burgess3-0/+48
GDB relies on the fact that if two target descriptions have the same contents, then they will be the same object instance (having the same address). One place where this is a requirement is in GDBARCH_LIST_LOOKUP_BY_INFO which is used to find previously created gdbarch objects. In GDBARCH_LIST_LOOKUP_BY_INFO a pointer comparison is made on the gdbarch's target description, if the pointers are different then it is assumed the gdbarches have different, non-compatible target descriptions. Previously we would create duplicate target descriptions in the belief that RISCV_GDBARCH_INIT would spot this duplication and discard the second instance. However, this was incorrect, and instead we ended up creating duplicate gdbarch objects. With this commit every unique feature set will create one and only one target description, the feature set and resulting target description is then cached so that the same target description object can be returned later. Many other target avoid this problem by creating a small number of named target descriptions, and returning one of these. However, we currently have 8 possible target descriptions (32 vs 64 bit for x-reg and f-reg, and h/w or s/w float abi) and creating each of these just to avoid a dynamic cache seems pointless. gdb/ChangeLog: * arch/riscv.h (riscv_gdbarch_features::hash): New method. * arch/riscv.c (struct riscv_gdbarch_features_hasher): New.

2018-11-30Fix dwarf2read.c:dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit's binary searchSergio Durigan Junior2-1/+12
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Keith Seitz, Jan Kratochvil and Tom Tromey, who were really kind and helped a lot with this bug. The patch itself was authored by Jan. This all began with: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1639242 py-bt is broken, results in exception In summary, the error reported by the bug above is: $ gdb -args python3 GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 8.1.1-3.fc28 (...) Reading symbols from python3...Reading symbols from /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/python3.6-3.6.6-1.fc28.x86_64.debug...done. done. Dwarf Error: could not find partial DIE containing offset 0x316 [in module /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/python3.6-3.6.6-1.fc28.x86_64.debug] After a long investigation, and after thinking that the problem might actually be on DWZ's side, we were able to determine that there's something wrong going on when dwarf2read.c:dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit performs a binary search over all of the CUs belonging to an objfile in order to find the CU which contains a DIE at an specific offset. The current algorithm is: static struct dwarf2_per_cu_data * dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit (sect_offset sect_off, unsigned int offset_in_dwz, struct dwarf2_per_objfile *dwarf2_per_objfile) { struct dwarf2_per_cu_data *this_cu; int low, high; const sect_offset *cu_off; low = 0; high = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units.size () - 1; while (high > low) { struct dwarf2_per_cu_data *mid_cu; int mid = low + (high - low) / 2; mid_cu = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units[mid]; cu_off = &mid_cu->sect_off; if (mid_cu->is_dwz > offset_in_dwz || (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz && *cu_off >= sect_off)) high = mid; else low = mid + 1; } For the sake of this example, let's consider that "sect_off = 0x7d". There are a few important things going on here. First, "dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units ()" will be sorted first by whether the CU is a DWZ CU, and then by cu->sect_off. In this specific bug, "offset_in_dwz" is false, which means that, for the most part of the loop, we're going to do "high = mid" (i.e, we'll work with the lower part of the vector). In our particular case, when we reach the part where "mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz" (i.e, both are false), we end up with "high = 2" and "mid = 1". I.e., there are only 2 elements in the vector who are not DWZ. The vector looks like this: #0: cu->sect_off = 0; length = 114; is_dwz = false <-- low #1: cu->sect_off = 114; length = 7796; is_dwz = false <-- mid #2: cu->sect_off = 0; length = 28; is_dwz = true <-- high ... The CU we want is #1, which is exactly where "mid" is. Also, #1 is not DWZ, which is also exactly what we want. So we perform the second comparison: (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz && *cu_off >= sect_off) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Because "*cu_off = 114" and "sect_off = 0x7d", this evaluates to false, so we end up with "low = mid + 1 = 2", which actually gives us the wrong CU (i.e., a CU that is DWZ). Next in the code, GDB does: gdb_assert (low == high); this_cu = dwarf2_per_objfile->all_comp_units[low]; cu_off = &this_cu->sect_off; if (this_cu->is_dwz != offset_in_dwz || *cu_off > sect_off) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ { if (low == 0 || this_cu->is_dwz != offset_in_dwz) error (_("Dwarf Error: could not find partial DIE containing " "offset %s [in module %s]"), sect_offset_str (sect_off), bfd_get_filename (dwarf2_per_objfile->objfile->obfd)); ... Triggering the error we saw in the original bug report. It's important to notice that we see the error message because the selected CU is a DWZ one, but we're looking for a non-DWZ CU here. However, even when the selected CU is *not* a DWZ (and we don't see any error message), we still end up with the wrong CU. For example, suppose that the vector had: #0: cu->sect_off = 0; length = 114; is_dwz = false #1: cu->sect_off = 114; length = 7796; is_dwz = false #2: cu->sect_off = 7910; length = 28; is_dwz = false ... I.e., #2's "is_dwz" is false instead of true. In this case, we still want #1, because that's where the DIE is located. After the loop ends up in #2, we have "is_dwz" as false, which is what we wanted, so we compare offsets. In this case, "7910 >= 0x7d", so we set "mid = high = 2". Next iteration, we have "mid = 0 + (2 - 0) / 2 = 1", and thus we examining #1. "is_dwz" is still false, but "114 >= 0x7d" also evaluates to false, so "low = mid + 1 = 2", which makes the loop stop. Therefore, we end up choosing #2 as our CU, even though #1 is the right one. The problem here is happening because we're comparing "sect_off" directly against "*cu_off", while we should actually be comparing against "*cu_off + mid_cu->length" (i.e., the end offset): ... || (mid_cu->is_dwz == offset_in_dwz && *cu_off + mid_cu->length >= sect_off)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ... And this is what the patch does. The idea is that if GDB is searching for an offset that falls above the *end* of the CU being analyzed (i.e., "mid"), then the next iteration should try a higher-offset CU next. The previous algorithm was using the *beginning* of the CU. Unfortunately, I could not devise a testcase for this problem, so I am proposing a fix with this huge explanation attached to it in the hope that it is sufficient. After talking a bit to Keith (our testcase guru), it seems that one would have to create an objfile with both DWZ and non-DWZ sections, which may prove very hard to do, I think. I ran this patch on our BuildBot, and no regressions were detected. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-11-30 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com> Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1613614 * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_find_containing_comp_unit): Add 'mid_cu->length' to '*cu_off' when checking if 'sect_off' is inside the CU.

2018-11-25Implement timestamp'ed output on "make check"Sergio Durigan Junior4-8/+94
It is unfortunately not uncommon to have tests hanging on some of the BuildBot workers. For example, the ppc64be/ppc64le+gdbserver builders are especially in a bad state when it comes to testing GDB/gdbserver, and we can have builds that take an absurd amount of time to finish (almost 1 week for one single build, for example). It may be hard to diagnose these failures, because sometimes we don't have access to the faulty systems, and other times we're just too busy to wait and check which test is actually hanging. During one of our conversations about the topic, someone proposed that it would be a good idea to have a timestamp put together with stdout output, so that we can come back later and examine which tests are taking too long to complete. Here's my proposal to do this. The very first thing I tried to do was to use "ts(1)" to achieve this feature, and it obviously worked, but the problem is that I'm afraid "ts(1)" may not be widely available on every system we support. Therefore, I decided to implement a *very* simple version of "ts(1)", in Python 3, which basically does the same thing: iterate over the stdin lines, and prepend a timestamp onto them. As for testsuite/Makefile.in, the user can now specify two new variables to enable timestamp'ed output: TS (which enables the output), and TS_FORMAT (optional, used to specify another timestamp format according to "strftime"). Here's an example of how the output looks like: ... [Nov 22 17:07:19] [1234] Running binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/call-strs.exp ...

2018-11-22Per-inferior thread list, thread ranges/iterators, down with ALL_THREADS, etc.Pedro Alves37-821/+1403
As preparation for multi-target, this patch makes each inferior have its own thread list. This isn't absolutely necessary for multi-target, but simplifies things. It originally stemmed from the desire to eliminate the init_thread_list calls sprinkled around, plus it makes it more efficient to iterate over threads of a given inferior (no need to always iterate over threads of all inferiors). We still need to iterate over threads of all inferiors in a number of places, which means we'd need adjust the ALL_THREADS / ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS macros. However, naively tweaking those macros to have an extra for loop, like: #define ALL_THREADS (thr, inf) \ for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next) \ for (thr = inf->thread_list; thr; thr = thr->next) causes problems with code that does "break" or "continue" within the ALL_THREADS loop body. Plus, we need to declare the extra "inf" local variable in order to pass it as temporary variable to ALL_THREADS (etc.) It gets even trickier when we consider extending the macros to filter out threads matching a ptid_t and a target. The macros become tricker to read/write. Been there. An alternative (which was my next attempt), is to replace the ALL_THREADS etc. iteration style with for_each_all_threads, for_each_non_exited_threads, etc. functions which would take a callback as parameter, which would usually be passed a lambda. However, I did not find that satisfactory at all, because the resulting code ends up a little less natural / more noisy to read, write and debug/step-through (due to use of lambdas), and in many places where we use "continue;" to skip to the next thread now need to use "return;". (I ran into hard to debug bugs caused by a continue/return confusion.) I.e., before: ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS (tp) { if (tp->not_what_I_want) continue; // do something } would turn into: for_each_non_exited_thread ([&] (thread_info *tp) { if (tp->not_what_I_want) return; // do something }); Lastly, the solution I settled with was to replace the ALL_THREADS / ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS / ALL_INFERIORS macros with (C++20-like) ranges and iterators, such that you can instead naturaly iterate over threads/inferiors using range-for, like e.g,.: // all threads, including THREAD_EXITED threads. for (thread_info *tp : all_threads ()) { .... } // all non-exited threads. for (thread_info *tp : all_non_exited_threads ()) { .... } // all non-exited threads of INF inferior. for (thread_info *tp : inf->non_exited_threads ()) { .... } The all_non_exited_threads() function takes an optional filter ptid_t as parameter, which is quite convenient when we need to iterate over threads matching that filter. See e.g., how the set_executing/set_stop_requested/finish_thread_state etc. functions in thread.c end up being simplified. Most of the patch thus is about adding the infrustructure for allowing the above. Later on when we get to actual multi-target, these functions/ranges/iterators will gain a "target_ops *" parameter so that e.g., we can iterate over all threads of a given target that match a given filter ptid_t. The only entry points users needs to be aware of are the all_threads/all_non_exited_threads etc. functions seen above. Thus, those functions are declared in gdbthread.h/inferior.h. The actual iterators/ranges are mainly "internals" and thus are put out of view in the new thread-iter.h/thread-iter.c/inferior-iter.h files. That keeps the gdbthread.h/inferior.h headers quite a bit more readable. A common/safe-iterator.h header is added which adds a template that can be used to build "safe" iterators, which are forward iterators that can be used to replace the ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro and other instances of the same idiom in future. There's a little bit of shuffling of code between gdbthread.h/thread.c/inferior.h in the patch. That is necessary in order to avoid circular dependencies between the gdbthread.h/inferior.h headers. As for the init_thread_list calls sprinkled around, they're all eliminated by this patch, and a new, central call is added to inferior_appeared. Note how also related to that, there's a call to init_wait_for_inferior in remote.c that is eliminated. init_wait_for_inferior is currently responsible for discarding skipped inline frames, which had to be moved elsewhere. Given that nowadays we always have a thread even for single-threaded processes, the natural place is to delete a frame's inline frame info when we delete the thread.

The problem originally fixed by bf93d7ba99 was: (...) we should avoid doing register reads after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong architecture. (...) The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to update stop_pc). (...) The register-reading issue is no longer a problem nowadays, ever since switch_to_thread stopped reading the stop_pc in git commit f2ffa92bbce9 ("gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global"). So this commit basically reverts bf93d7ba99. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-11-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (follow_exec) <set follow-exec new>: Add thread and switch to it before calling into try_open_exec_file.
