2024-05-08[gdb/python] Make gdb.UnwindInfo.add_saved_register more robustTom de Vries1-0/+12
On arm-linux, until commit bbb12eb9c84 ("gdb/arm: Remove tpidruro register from non-FreeBSD target descriptions") I ran into: ... FAIL: gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp: cycle at level 5: \ backtrace when the unwind is broken at frame 5 ... What happens is the following: - the TestUnwinder from inline-frame-cycle-unwind.py calls gdb.UnwindInfo.add_saved_register with reg == tpidruro and value "<unavailable>", - pyuw_sniffer calls value->contents ().data () to access the value of the register, which throws an UNAVAILABLE_ERROR, - this causes the TestUnwinder unwinder to fail, after which another unwinder succeeds and returns the correct frame, and - the test-case fails because it's counting on the TestUnwinder to succeed and return an incorrect frame. Fix this by checking for !value::entirely_available as well as valued::optimized_out in unwind_infopy_add_saved_register. Tested on x86_64-linux and arm-linux.

2024-05-07Fix heap-use-after-free because all_objfiles_removed triggers tui_display_mainHannes Domani1-11/+2
Since gdb-10 there is a heap-use-after free happening if starting the target in TUI triggers a re-reading of symbols.

This symbol cache is actually stale at this point, and would have been flushed immediately afterwards by that same all_objfiles_removed hook. It's not possible to tell the hook to call the observers in a specific order, but in this case the tui_all_objfiles_removed observer is actually not needed, since it only calls tui_display_main, and a 'main' can only be found if objfiles are added, not removed. So the fix is to simply remove the tui_all_objfiles_removed observer. The clearing of the source window (if symbols were removed by e.g. 'file' without arguments) still works, since this is done by the tui_before_prompt observer.

2024-05-07gdb/arch: assert that X86_XSTATE_MPX is not set for x32Andrew Burgess1-2/+6
While rebasing this series[1] past this commit: commit 4bb20a6244b7091a9a7a2ae35dfbd7e8db27550a Date: Wed Mar 20 04:13:18 2024 -0700 gdbserver: Clear X86_XSTATE_MPX bits in xcr0 on x32 I worried that there could be other paths that might result in an xcr0 value which has X86_XSTATE_MPX set in x32 mode. As everyone eventually calls amd64_create_target_description to build their target description, I figured we could assert in here that if X86_XSTATE_MPX is set then we should not be an x32 target, this will uncover any other bugs in this area. I'm not currently able to build/run any x32 binaries, so I have no way to test this, but the author of commit 4bb20a6244b7091 did test this series with that assert in place and didn't see any problems.

2024-05-07gdb/testsuite/lib/rocm: Fix with_rocm_gpu_lockLancelot SIX1-1/+1
A recent commit refactored with_rocm_gpu_lock: commit fbb0edfe60edf4ca01884151e6d9b1353aaa0a7e Date: Sat May 4 10:41:09 2024 +0200 [gdb/testsuite] Factor out proc with_lock Factor out proc with_lock from with_rocm_gpu_lock, and move required procs lock_file_acquire and lock_file_release to lib/gdb-utils.exp. This causes regressions in gdb.rocm/*.exp (as well as in downstream rocgdb). The issue can be reproduced in the following minimal test: load_lib rocm.exp set foo hello with_rocm_gpu_lock { verbose -logs $foo } The issue is that the body to execute under the lock is executed in the context of with_rocm_gpu_lock (uplevel 1 used in with_lock) instead of in the context of the "original" caller. This patch adjusted with_rocm_gpu_lock to account for the new extra frame in the call stack between the caller of with_rocm_gpu_lock and where the code execution is triggered.

2024-05-06Fix build issues with mingw toolchainBernd Edlinger2-0/+3
With a x86_64-pc-mingw32 toolchain there is a build issue whether or not the --disable-threading option is used. The problem happens because _WIN32_WINNT is defined to 0x501 before #include <mutex> which makes the compilation abort due to missing support for __gthread_cond_t in std_mutex.h, which is conditional on _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x600. Fix the case when --disable-threading is used, by only including <mutex> in gdb/complaints.c when STD_CXX_THREAD is defined. Additionally make the configure script try to #include <mutex> to automatically select --disable-threading when the header file is not able to compile. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

2024-05-06[gdb/exp] Redo cast handling for indirectionTom de Vries2-6/+4
In commit ed8fd0a342f ("[gdb/exp] Fix cast handling for indirection"), I introduced the behaviour that even though we have: ... (gdb) p *a_loc () 'a_loc' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type ... we get: ... (gdb) p (char)*a_loc () $1 = 97 'a' ... In other words, the unknown return type of a_loc is inferred from the cast, effectually evaluating: ... (gdb) p (char)*(char *)a_loc () ... This is convient for the case that errno is defined as: ... #define errno (*__errno_location ()) ... and the return type of __errno_location is unknown but the macro definition is known, such that we can use: ... (gdb) p (int)errno ... instead of ... (gdb) p *(int *)__errno_location () ... However, as Pedro has pointed out in post-commit review [1], this makes it harder to reason about the semantics of an expression. For instance, this: ... (gdb) p (long long)*a_loc ()" ... would be evaluated without debug info as: ... (gdb) p (long long)*(long long *)a_loc ()" ... but with debug info as: ... (gdb) p (long long)*(char *)a_loc ()" ... Fix this by instead simply erroring out for this case: ... (gdb) p (char)*a_loc () 'a_loc' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type ... Tested on x86_64-linux.

2024-05-04Remove call to dwarf2_per_objfile::adjust from read_attribute_valueTom Tromey1-1/+0
Currently, read_attribute_value calls dwarf2_per_objfile::adjust on any address. This seems wrong, because the address may not even be in the text section. Luckily, this call is also not needed, because read_func_scope calls 'relocate', which does the same work.
2024-05-04Remove call to dwarf2_per_objfile::adjust from read_call_site_scopeTom Tromey1-5/+2
read_call_site_scope does not need to call 'adjust', because in general the call site is not a symbol address, but rather just the address of some particular call.
2024-05-04Remove more calls to dwarf2_per_objfile::adjustTom Tromey1-18/+8
As with the previous patch, this patch removes some calls to dwarf2_per_objfile::adjust. These calls are not needed by the cooked indexer, as it does not create symbols or look up symbols by address. The call in dwarf2_ranges_read is similarly not needed, as it is only used to update an addrmap; and in any case I believe this particular call is only reached by the indexer.
2024-05-04Remove call to dwarf2_per_objfile::adjust from ranges readersTom Tromey2-4/+0
dwarf2_per_objfile::adjust applies gdbarch_adjust_dwarf2_addr to an address, leaving the result unrelocated. However, this adjustment is only needed for text-section symbols -- it isn't needed for any sort of address mapping. Therefore, these calls can be removed from read_addrmap_from_aranges and create_addrmap_from_gdb_index. Approved-By: Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>

The file gdb-index-nodebug.gdb-index doesn't belong there. It happens to be there because we do: ... set index_file ${testfile}.gdb-index set cmd "save gdb-index [file dirname ${index_file}]" ... which results in: ... (gdb) save gdb-index . ... The intention was possibly to use $binfile instead of $testfile, but using that wouldn't work for remote host. Fix this by using host_standard_output_file. Tested on x86_64-linux.
2024-04-29gdb/testsuite: Add gdb.base/memops-watchpoint.expThiago Jung Bauermann2-0/+206
Test behaviour of watchpoints triggered by libc's memset/memcpy/memmove. These functions are frequently optimized with specialized instructions that favor larger memory access operations, so make sure GDB behaves correctly in their presence. There's a separate watched variable for each function so that the testcase can test whether GDB correctly identified the watchpoint that triggered. Also, the watchpoint is 28 bytes away from the beginning of the buffer being modified, so that large memory accesses (if present) are exercised.

2024-04-29gdb/nat/linux: Fix attaching to process when it has zombie threadsThiago Jung Bauermann2-0/+54
When GDB attaches to a multi-threaded process, it calls linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads () to go through all threads found in /proc/PID/task/ and call attach_proc_task_lwp_callback () on each of them. If it does that twice without the callback reporting that a new thread was found, then it considers that all inferior threads have been found and returns. The problem is that the callback considers any thread that it hasn't attached to yet as new. This causes problems if the process has one or more zombie threads, because GDB can't attach to it and the loop will always "find" a new thread (the zombie one), and get stuck in an infinite loop. This is easy to trigger (at least on aarch64-linux and powerpc64le-linux) with the gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp testcase, because its test program constantly creates and finishes joinable threads so the chance of having zombie threads is high. This problem causes the following failures: FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: attach (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: no new threads (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: set breakpoint always-inserted on (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: break break_fn (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: break at break_fn: 1 (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: break at break_fn: 2 (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: break at break_fn: 3 (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: reset timer in the inferior (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: print seconds_left (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: detach (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: set breakpoint always-inserted off (timeout) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 8: delete all breakpoints, watchpoints, tracepoints, and catchpoints in delete_breakpoints (timeout) ERROR: breakpoints not deleted The iteration number is random, and all tests in the subsequent iterations fail too, because GDB is stuck in the attach command at the beginning of the iteration. The solution is to make linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads () remember when it has already processed a given LWP and skip it in the subsequent iterations.

The new function will be used in a subsequent patch to read a different stat field. The new code is believed to be equivalent to the old code, so there should be no change in GDB behaviour. The only material change was to use std::string and string_printf rather than a fixed char array to build the path to the stat file. Also, take the opportunity to move the function's documentation comment to the header file, to conform with GDB practice.

The code and comment reference stat fields by made-up indexes. The procfs(5) man page, which describes the /proc/PID/stat file, has a numbered list of these fields so it's more convenient to use those numbers instead. This is currently an implementation detail inside the function so it's not really relevant with the code as-is, but a future patch will do some refactoring which will make the index more prominent. Therefore, make this change in a separate patch so that it's simpler to review. Reviewed-By: Luis Machado <luis.machado@arm.com> Approved-By: Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>
2024-04-29gdb/Cygwin: Fix attach pid error messagePedro Alves1-4/+13
On Cygwin, with "attach PID": - GDB first tries to interpret PID as a Windows native PID, and tries to attach to that. - if the attach fails, GDB then tries to interpret the PID as a Cygwin PID, and attach to that. If converting the user-provided PID from a Cygwin PID to a Windows PID fails, you get this: (gdb) attach 12345 Can't attach to process 0 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.) Note "process 0". With the fix in this commit, we'll now get: (gdb) attach 12345 Can't attach to process 12345 (error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.) I noticed this while looking at gdb.log after running gdb.base/attach.exp on Cygwin. Change-Id: I05b9dc1f3a634a822ea49bb5c61719f5e62c8514 Approved-By: Luis Machado <luis.machado@arm.com>
2024-04-29gdb/doc: document how filename arguments are formattedAndrew Burgess1-0/+78
In the following commits I intend to improve GDB's filename completion. However, how filenames should be completed is a little complex because GDB is not consistent with how it expects filename arguments to be formatted. This commit documents the current state of GDB when it comes to formatting filename arguments. Currently GDB will not correctly complete filenames inline with this documentation; GDB will either fail to complete, or complete incorrectly (i.e. the result of completion will not then be accepted by GDB). However, later commits in this series will fix completion. Approved-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
2024-04-29gdb/remote: fix qRcmd error handlingAndrew Burgess1-10/+15
This commit: commit 3623271997a5c0d79609aa6a1f35ef61b4469054 Date: Tue Jan 30 15:55:47 2024 +0100 remote.c: Use packet_check_result Introduced a bug in the error handling of the qRcmd packet. Prior to this commit if a packet had status PACKET_OK then, if the packet contained the text "OK" we considered the packet handled. But, if the packet contained any other content (that was not an error message) then the content was printed to the user. After the above commit this was no longer the case, any non-error packet that didn't contain "OK" would be treated as an error. Currently, gdbserver doesn't exercise this path so it's not possible to write a simple test for this case. When gdbserver wishes to print output it sends back an 'O' string output packet, these packets are handled earlier in the process. Then once gdbserver has finished sending output an 'OK' packet is sent. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

2024-04-26Improve target.h & target_ops & xfer_partial descriptionsPedro Alves1-24/+51
Working backwards in terms of motivation for the patch: - When accessing memory via the xfer_partial interface, the process that we're accessing is indicated by inferior_ptid. This can be either the same process as current inferior, or a fork child which does not exist in the inferior list. This is not documented currently. This commit fixes that. - For target delegation to work, we must always make the inferior we want to call the target method on, the current inferior. This wasn't documented, AFAICT, so this commit fixes that too. I put that in the intro comment to target_ops. - I actually started writing a larger intro comment to target_ops, as there was seemingly none, which I did find odd. However, I then noticed the description closer to the top of the file. I missed it the first time, because for some reason, that intro comment is no longer at the top of the file, as #includes etc. have been added above it over the years. This commit fixes that too, by moving that intro comment to the top.

2024-04-26gdb/linux-nat: Fix mem access ptrace fallback (PR threads/31579)Pedro Alves1-3/+58
Old RHEL systems have a kernel that does not support writing memory via /proc/pid/mem. On such systems, we fallback to accessing memory via ptrace. That has a few downsides described in the "Accessing inferior memory" section at the top of linux-nat.c. The target_xfer interface for memory access uses inferior_ptid as sideband argument to indicate which process to access. Memory access is process-wide, it is not thread-specific, so inferior_ptid is sometimes pointed at a process-wide ptid_t for the memory access (i.e., a ptid that looks like {pid, 0, 0}). That is the case for any code that uses scoped_restore_current_inferior_for_memory, for example. That is what causes the issue described in PR 31579, where thread_db calls into the debugger to read memory, which reaches our ps_xfer_memory function, which does: static ps_err_e ps_xfer_memory (const struct ps_prochandle *ph, psaddr_t addr, gdb_byte *buf, size_t len, int write) { scoped_restore_current_inferior_for_memory save_inferior (ph->thread->inf); ... ret = target_read_memory (core_addr, buf, len); ... } If linux_nat_target::xfer_partial falls back to inf_ptrace_target with a pid-ptid, then the ptrace code will do the ptrace call targeting pid, the leader LWP. That may fail with ESRCH if the leader is currently running, or zombie. That is the case in the scenario in question, because thread_db is consulted for an event of a non-leader thread, before we've stopped the whole process. Fix this by having the ptrace fallback code try to find a stopped LWP to use with ptrace. I chose to handle this in the linux-nat target instead of in common code because (global) memory is a process-wide property, and this avoids having to teach all the code paths that use scoped_restore_current_inferior_for_memory to find some stopped thread to access memory through, which is a ptrace quirk. That is effectively what we used to do before we started relying on writable /proc/pid/mem. I'd rather not go back there. To trigger this on modern kernels you have to hack linux-nat.c to force the ptrace fallback code, like so: --- a/gdb/linux-nat.c +++ b/gdb/linux-nat.c @@ -3921,7 +3921,7 @@ linux_nat_target::xfer_partial (enum target_object object, poke would incorrectly write memory to the post-exec address space, while the core was trying to write to the pre-exec address space. */ - if (proc_mem_file_is_writable ()) + if (0 && proc_mem_file_is_writable ()) With that hack, I was able to confirm that the fix fixes hundreds of testsuite failures. Compared to a test run with pristine master, the hack above + this commit's fix shows that some non-stop-related tests fail, but that is expected, because those are tests that need to access memory while the program is running. (I made no effort to temporarily pause an lwp if no ptrace-stopped lwp is found.)

This is similar to the previous patch, but for gdb_protocol_is_remote. gdb_is_target_remote and its MI cousin mi_is_target_remote, use "maint print target-stack", which is unnecessary when checking whether gdb_protocol is "remote" or "extended-remote" would do. Checking gdb_protocol is more efficient, and can be done before starting GDB and running to main, unlike gdb_is_target_remote/mi_is_target_remote.

There are no uses of gdb_is_target_remote/mi_is_target_remote left after this. Those will be eliminated in a following patch.

2024-04-26Fix "attach" failure handling with GDBserverPedro Alves3-6/+121
This fixes the same issue as the previous patch, but for "attach" instead of "run". If attaching to a process with "attach" (vAttach packet) fails, GDBserver throws an error that escapes all the way to the top level. When an error escapes all the way like that, GDBserver interprets it as a disconnection, and either goes back to waiting for a new GDB connection, or exits, if --once was specified. Here's an example: On the GDB side: ... (gdb) tar extended-remote :9999 ... Remote debugging using :9999 (gdb) attach 1 Attaching to process 1 Attaching to process 1 failed (gdb) On the GDBserver side: $ gdbserver --once --multi :9999 Listening on port 9999 Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1, port 37464 gdbserver: Cannot attach to process 1: Operation not permitted (1) $ # gdbserver exited This is wrong, as we've connected with extended-remote/--multi. GDBserver should just report an error to vAttach, and continue connected to GDB, waiting for other commands. This commit fixes GDBserver by catching the error locally in handle_v_attach. Note we now let pid == 0 pass down to attach_inferior. That is so we get a useful textual error message to report to GDB. This fixes a couple KFAILs in gdb.base/attach.exp. Still, I thought it would be useful to add a new testcase specifically for this scenario, in case gdb.base/attach.exp is ever split and stops trying to attach again after a failed attach, with the same GDB session.

2024-04-26Improve vRun error reportingPedro Alves1-12/+55
After the previous commit, if starting the inferior process with "run" (vRun packet) fails, GDBserver reports an error using the "E." textual error packet. On the GDB side, however, GDB doesn't yet do anything with the textual error string. This commit improves that. This makes remote debugging output the same as native output, when possible, another small step in the "local/remote parity" project. E.g., before, against GNU/Linux GDBserver: (gdb) run Starting program: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox Running ".../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox" on the remote target failed After, against GNU/Linux GDBserver (same as native): (gdb) run Starting program: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox During startup program exited with code 126. To know whether we have a textual error message, extend packet_result to carry that information. While at it, convert packet_result to use factory methods, and change its std::string parameter to a plain const char *, as that it always what we have handy to pass to it.

2024-04-26Fix "run" failure handling with GDBserverPedro Alves2-0/+83
If starting the inferior process with "run" (vRun packet) fails, GDBserver throws an error that escapes all the way to the top level. When an error escapes all the way like that, GDBserver interprets it as a disconnection, and either goes back to waiting for a new GDB connection, or exits, if --once was specified. E.g., with the testcase program added by this commit, we see: On GDB side: ... (gdb) tar extended-remote :999 ... Remote debugging using :9999 (gdb) r Starting program: Running ".../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox" on the remote target failed (gdb) On GDBserver side: $ gdbserver --once --multi :9999 Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1, port 34344 bash: line 1: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox: Permission denied bash: line 1: exec: .../gdb.base/run-fail-twice/run-fail-twice.nox: cannot execute: Permission denied gdbserver: During startup program exited with code 126. $ # gdbserver exited This is wrong, as we've connected with extended-remote/--multi. GDBserver should just report an error to vCont, and continue connected to GDB, waiting for other commands. This commit fixes GDBserver by catching the error locally in handle_v_run.
