2023-11-07gdb/arm: remove thumb bit in arm_adjust_breakpoint_addressSimon Marchi1-3/+6
When compiling gdb with -fsanitize=address on ARM, I get a crash in test gdb.arch/arm-disp-step.exp, reproduced easily with: $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/arm-disp-step/arm-disp-step -ex "break *test_call_end" Reading symbols from testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/arm-disp-step/arm-disp-step... ================================================================= ==23295==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0xb4a14fd1 at pc 0x01a48871 bp 0xbeab8490 sp 0xbeab8494 Since it doesn't require running the program, it can be reproduced locally on a dev machine other than ARM, after acquiring the test binary. The length of the allocate buffer `buf` is 1, and we try to extract an integer of size 2 from it. The length of 1 comes from the subtraction `bpaddr - boundary`. Normally, on ARM, all instructions are aligned on a multiple of 2, so it's weird for this subtraction to result in 1. In this case, boundary comes from the result of find_pc_partial_function returning 0x549: (gdb) p/x bpaddr $2 = 0x54a (gdb) p/x boundary $3 = 0x549 (gdb) p/x bpaddr - boundary $4 = 0x1 0x549 is the address of the test_call_subr label, 0x548, with the thumb bit enabled. Before doing some math with the address, I think we need to strip the thumb bit, like is done elsewhere (for instance for bpaddr earlier in the same function). I wonder if find_pc_partial_function should do that itself, in order to return an address that is suitable for arithmetic. In any case, that would be a change with a broad impact, so for now just fix the issue locally. After the patch: $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/arm-disp-step/arm-disp-step -ex "break *test_call_end" Reading symbols from testsuite/outputs/gdb.arch/arm-disp-step/arm-disp-step...

2023-11-05Pre-read DWZ file in DWARF readerTom Tromey5-23/+31
While working on background reading of DWARF, I came across the DWZ-reading code. This code can query the user (via the debuginfod support) -- something that cannot be done off the main thread. Looking into it, I realized that this code can be run much earlier, avoiding this problem. Digging a bit deeper, I also found a discrepancy here between how the DWARF reader works in "readnow" mode as compared to the normal modes. This patch cleans this up by trying to read the DWZ file earlier, and also by having the DWARF reader convert any exception here into a warning. This unifies the various cases, but also makes it so that errors do not prevent gdb from continuing on to the extent possible. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.

This patch implements the DAP setVariable request. setVariable is a bit odd in that it specifies the variable to modify by passing in the variable's container and the name of the variable.

2023-10-29Pre-read .debug_aranges sectionTom Tromey2-5/+7
While working on background DWARF reading, I found a race case that I tracked down to the handling of the .debug_aranges section. Currently the section data is only read in after the CUs have all been created. However, there's no real reason to do this -- it seems fine to read it a little earlier, when all the other necessary sections are read in. This patch makes this change, and updates the read_addrmap_from_aranges API to assert that the section is read in. This patch slightly changes the read_addrmap_from_aranges API as well, to reject an empty section. This seems better to me than what the current code does, which is try to read an empty section but then do no work. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38.

2023-10-28gdb/gdbsupport/gdbserver: Require c++17Lancelot Six5-31/+1528
This patch proposes to require a C++17 compiler to build gdb / gdbsupport / gdbserver. Before this patch, GDB required a C++11 compiler. The general policy regarding bumping C++ language requirement in GDB (as stated in [1]) is: Our general policy is to wait until the oldest compiler that supports C++NN is at least 3 years old. Rationale: We want to ensure reasonably widespread compiler availability, to lower barrier of entry to GDB contributions, and to make it easy for users to easily build new GDB on currently supported stable distributions themselves. 3 years should be sufficient for latest stable releases of distributions to include a compiler for the standard, and/or for new compilers to appear as easily installable optional packages. Requiring everyone to build a compiler first before building GDB, which would happen if we required a too-new compiler, would cause too much inconvenience. See the policy proposal and discussion [here](https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00616.html). The first GCC release which with full C++17 support is GCC-9[2], released in 2019[3], which is over 4 years ago. Clang has had C++17 support since Clang-5[4] released in 2018[5]. A discussions with many distros showed that a C++17-able compiler is always available, meaning that this no hard requirement preventing us to require it going forward.

2023-10-26gdb/python: Add new gdb.Value.bytes attributeAndrew Burgess4-20/+230
Add a gdb.Value.bytes attribute. This attribute contains the bytes of the value (assuming the complete bytes of the value are available). If the bytes of the gdb.Value are not available then accessing this attribute raises an exception. The bytes object returned from gdb.Value.bytes is cached within GDB so that the same bytes object is returned each time. The bytes object is created on-demand though to reduce unnecessary work. For some values we can of course obtain the same information by reading inferior memory based on gdb.Value.address and gdb.Value.type.sizeof, however, not every value is in memory, so we don't always have an address. The gdb.Value.bytes attribute will convert any value to a bytes object, so long as the contents are available. The value can be one created purely in Python code, the value could be in a register, or (of course) the value could be in memory. The Value.bytes attribute can also be assigned too. Assigning to this attribute is similar to calling Value.assign, the value of the underlying value is updated within the inferior. The value assigned to Value.bytes must be a buffer which contains exactly the correct number of bytes (i.e. unlike value creation, we don't allow oversized buffers). To support this assignment like behaviour I've factored out the core of valpy_assign. I've also updated convert_buffer_and_type_to_value so that it can (for my use case) check the exact buffer length. The restrictions for when the Value.bytes can or cannot be written too are exactly the same as for Value.assign.

2023-10-26gdb: handle main thread exiting during detachAndrew Burgess4-8/+244
Overview ======== Consider the following situation, GDB is in non-stop mode, the main thread is running while a second thread is stopped. The user has the second thread selected as the current thread and asks GDB to detach. At the exact moment of detach the main thread exits. This situation currently causes crashes, assertion failures, and unexpected errors to be reported from GDB for both native and remote targets. This commit addresses this situation for native and remote targets. There are a number of different fixes, but all are required in order to get this functionality working correct for native and remote targets. Native Linux Target =================== For the native Linux target, detaching is handled in the function linux_nat_target::detach. In here we call stop_wait_callback for each thread, and it is this callback that will spot that the main thread has exited. GDB then detaches from everything except the main thread by calling detach_callback. After this the first problem is this assert: /* Only the initial process should be left right now. */ gdb_assert (num_lwps (pid) == 1); The num_lwps call will return 0 as the main thread has exited and all of the other threads have now been detached. I fix this by changing the assert to allow for 0 or 1 lwps at this point. As the 0 case can only happen in non-stop mode, the assert becomes: gdb_assert (num_lwps (pid) == 1 || (target_is_non_stop_p () && num_lwps (pid) == 0)); The next problem is that we do: main_lwp = find_lwp_pid (ptid_t (pid)); and then proceed assuming that main_lwp is not nullptr. In the case that the main thread has exited though, main_lwp will be nullptr. However, we only need main_lwp so that GDB can detach from the thread. If the main thread has exited, and GDB has already detached from every other thread, then GDB has finished detaching, GDB can skip the calls that try to detach from the main thread, and then tell the user that the detach was a success. For Remote Targets ================== On remote targets there are two problems. First is that when the exit occurs during the early phase of the detach, we see the stop notification arrive while GDB is removing the breakpoints ahead of the detach. The 'set debug remote on' trace looks like this: [remote] Sending packet: $z0,7f1648fe0241,1#35 [remote] Notification received: Stop:W0;process:2a0ac8 # At this point an unpatched gdbserver segfaults, and the connection # is broken. A patched gdbserver continues as below... [remote] Packet received: E01 [remote] Sending packet: $z0,7f1648ff00a8,1#68 [remote] Packet received: E01 [remote] Sending packet: $z0,7f1648ff132f,1#6b [remote] Packet received: E01 [remote] Sending packet: $D;2a0ac8#3e [remote] Packet received: E01 I was originally running into Segmentation Faults, from within gdbserver/mem-break.cc, in the function find_gdb_breakpoint. This function calls current_process() and then dereferences the result to find the breakpoint list. However, in our case, the current process has already exited, and so the current_process() call returns nullptr. At the point of failure, the gdbserver backtrace looks like this: #0 0x00000000004190e4 in find_gdb_breakpoint (z_type=48 '0', addr=4198762, kind=1) at ../../src/gdbserver/mem-break.cc:982 #1 0x000000000041930d in delete_gdb_breakpoint (z_type=48 '0', addr=4198762, kind=1) at ../../src/gdbserver/mem-break.cc:1093 #2 0x000000000042d8db in process_serial_event () at ../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:4372 #3 0x000000000042dcab in handle_serial_event (err=0, client_data=0x0) at ../../src/gdbserver/server.cc:4498 ... The problem is that, as a result non-stop being on, the process exiting is only reported back to GDB after the request to remove a breakpoint has been sent. Clearly gdbserver can't actually remove this breakpoint -- the process has already exited -- so I think the best solution is for gdbserver just to report an error, which is what I've done. The second problem I ran into was on the gdb side, as the process has already exited, but GDB has not yet acknowledged the exit event, the detach -- the 'D' packet in the above trace -- fails. This was being reported to the user with a 'Can't detach process' error. As the test actually calls detach from Python code, this error was then becoming a Python exception. Though clearly the detach has returned an error, and so, maybe, having GDB throw an error would be fine, I think in this case, there's a good argument that the remote error can be ignored -- if GDB tries to detach and gets back an error, and if there's a pending exit event for the pid we tried to detach, then just ignore the error and pretend the detach worked fine. We could possibly check for a pending exit event before sending the detach packet, however, I believe that it might be possible (in non-stop mode) for the stop notification to arrive after the detach is sent, but before gdbserver has started processing the detach. In this case we would still need to check for pending stop events after seeing the detach fail, so I figure there's no point having two checks -- we just send the detach request, and if it fails, check to see if the process has already exited. Testing ======= In order to test this issue I needed to ensure that the exit event arrives at the same time as the detach call. The window of opportunity for getting the exit to arrive is so small I've never managed to trigger this in real use -- I originally spotted this issue while working on another patch, which did manage to trigger this issue. However, if we trigger both the exit and the detach from a single Python function then we never return to GDB's event loop, as such GDB never processes the exit event, and so the first time GDB gets a chance to see the exit is during the detach call. And so that is the approach I've taken for testing this patch. Tested-By: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com> Approved-By: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>

The problem is that gdb is killed (by gdb_exit) before the index-cache entry is written. Fix this by using "maint wait-for-index-cache". Tested on x86_64-linux.

Clang doesn't use CFA information for variable locations. This makes it so software breakpoints get a false hit when rbp gets popped, causing a FAIL in gdb.python/py-watchpoint.exp. Since this is nothing wrong with GDB itself, add an xfail to reduce noise. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

The test gdb.python/py-explore-cc.exp was showing one unexpected failure. This was due to how clang mapped instructions to lines, resulting in the inferior seemingly stopping at a different location.

2023-10-20gdb: fix owner passed to remove_target_sections in clear_solibSimon Marchi6-18/+51
Commit 8971d2788e7 ("gdb: link so_list using intrusive_list") introduced a bug in clear_solib. Instead of passing an `so_list *` to remove_target_sections, it passed an `so_list **`. This was not caught by the compiler, because remove_target_sections takes a `void *` as the "owner", so you can pass it any pointer and it won't complain. This happened because I previously had a patch to change the type of the disposer parameter to be a reference rather than a pointer, so had to change `so` to `&so`. When dropping that patch, I forgot to revert this bit and / or it got re-introduced when handling subsequent merge conflicts. And I didn't properly retest. Fix that, but try to make things less error prone. Add a union to represent the possible owner kinds for a target_section. Trying to pass a pointer to another type than those will not compile.

2023-10-20[gdb/cli] Allow source-highlight to autodetect languageTom de Vries1-2/+16
Currently when gdb asks the source-highlight library to highlight a file, it tells it what language file to use. For instance, if gdb learns from the debug info that the file is language_c, the language file "c.lang" is used. This mapping is hardcoded in get_language_name. However, if gdb doesn't know what language file to use, it falls back to using python pygments, and in absence of that, unhighlighted source text. In the case of python pygments, it autodetects which language to use based on the file name. Add the same capability when using the source-highlight library. Tested on x86_64-linux. Verified that it works by: - making get_language_name return nullptr for language_c, and - checking that source-highlight still manages to highlight a hello world.

2023-10-19Fix race in DWARF readerTom Tromey3-25/+41
The recent change to record the DWARF language in the per-CU data yielded a race warning in my testing: ThreadSanitizer: data race ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:21779 in prepare_one_comp_unit This patch fixes the bug by applying the same style of fix that was done for the ordinary (gdb) language. I wonder if this code could be improved. Requiring an atomic for the language in particular seems unfortunate, as it is often consulted during index finalization. However, I haven't investigated this. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 38. Reviewed-by: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de>

I think this `so.clear ()` call is not useful. - so_list::clear deletes some things that now get automatically deleted when the so_list gets deleted right after in free_so. - so_list::clear resets some scalar fields of so_list, which we don't really care about since the so_list gets deleted right after. - so_list::clear calls target_so_ops::clear_so, of which there is a single implementation, svr4_clear_so. That implementation just resets a field in lm_info_svr4, which we don't care about, as it will get deleted when the so_list gets deleted right after.
