2025-05-12gdb: move extra checks into dump_note_entry_pAndrew Burgess1-6/+13
Now that dump_note_entry_p is always called (see previous commit), we can move some of the checks out of linux_make_mappings_callback into dump_note_entry_p. The checks only exist in linux_make_mappings_callback because, before the previous commit, we couldn't be sure that dump_note_entry_p would be called or not, so linux_make_mappings_callback had to run its own checks. Now that dump_note_entry_p is always called we can rely on that function to filter out which mappings should result in an NT_FILE entry, and linux_make_mappings_callback can just create an entry for everything it is passed. As a result of this change I was able to remove the inode argument from linux_make_mappings_callback and linux_find_memory_regions_thunk. The inode check has now moved to dump_note_entry_p. There should be no user visible changes after this commit. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2025-05-12gdb: always call should_dump_mapping_p during core file creationAndrew Burgess1-12/+6
This commit moves the logic for whether should_dump_mapping_p is called out of linux_find_memory_regions_full and pushes it down into the two callback functions that are used as the should_dump_mapping_p callback; `dump_mapping_p` and `dump_note_entry_p`. Older Linux kernels don't make the 'Anonymous' information available in the smaps file, and currently, GDB handles this by not calling the should_dump_mapping_p callback in linux_find_memory_regions_full, instead the answer is hard-coded to true. This is (maybe) fine for dump_mapping_p, but for dump_note_entry_p, this choice makes little sense. The dump_note_entry_p function doesn't even use the anonymous mapping information. I propose that the 'has_anonymous' check should be moved out of linux_find_memory_regions_full, and pushed into dump_mapping_p. Then in dump_note_entry_p there will be no has_anonymous check; it just isn't needed. This allows linux_find_memory_regions_full to be simplified a little, and will allow some additional clean ups in linux_make_mappings_callback, which is the partner function to dump_note_entry_p (see linux_make_mappings_corefile_notes), now that we know dump_note_entry_p is always called. This follow on clean up will be done in a later commit in this series. Looking at dump_mapping_p, I do wonder if the ::has_anonymous check could be moved later in the function. The first few checks in dump_mapping_p don't rely on the anonymous information, so running them might give better results. However, the lack of the anonymous information is only for older kernels, so testing any changes in this area would likely require spinning up an older kernel, and as the years pass, we likely care about this case less. So for now I've left the ::has_anonymous check as the first thing in dump_mapping_p as this keeps the existing behaviour. There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

2025-05-12gdb: pass struct smaps_data to linux_dump_mapping_p_ftypeAndrew Burgess1-38/+19
Simplify the argument passing in linux_find_memory_regions_full when calling the should_dump_mapping_p callback. Instead of pulling all the components from the smaps_data object and passing them separately, just pass the smaps_data object. I think this change is justified on its own; the code seems cleaner, and easier to read to my eye. But additionally, in a later commit in this series I want to pass smaps_data::has_anonymous to the should_dump_mapping_p callback, which would mean adding yet another argument, and I think the argument list is already long enough. Changing the function now to pass the smaps_data object means that I will already have the ::has_anonymous field available in the later commit. There should be no user visible changes after this commit. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
2025-05-12gdb: use bool more in linux-tdep.cAndrew Burgess1-23/+23

2025-05-12gdb: add '-stopped' and '-running' options to "info threads"Tankut Baris Aktemur6-14/+272
Add two options to "info threads": `-stopped` and `-running`. The purpose of these options is to filter the output of the command. The `-stopped` option means "print stopped threads only" and, similarly, `-running` means "print the running threads only". When both options are provided by the user, the indication is that the user wants the union. That is, the output contains both stopped and running threads. Suppose we have an application with 5 threads, 2 of which have hit a breakpoint. The "info threads" command in the non-stop mode gives: (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7d99740 (running) 2 Thread 0x7ffff7d98700 something () at file.c:30 3 Thread 0x7ffff7597700 (running) 4 Thread 0x7ffff6d96700 something () at file.c:30 5 Thread 0x7ffff6595700 (running) (gdb) Using the "-stopped" flag, we get (gdb) info threads -stopped Id Target Id Frame 2 Thread 0x7ffff7d98700 something () at file.c:30 4 Thread 0x7ffff6d96700 something () at file.c:30 (gdb) Using the "-running" flag, we get (gdb) info threads -running Id Target Id Frame * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7d99740 (running) 3 Thread 0x7ffff7597700 (running) 5 Thread 0x7ffff6595700 (running) (gdb) Using both flags prints all: (gdb) info threads -stopped -running Id Target Id Frame * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7d99740 (running) 2 Thread 0x7ffff7d98700 something () at file.c:30 3 Thread 0x7ffff7597700 (running) 4 Thread 0x7ffff6d96700 something () at file.c:30 5 Thread 0x7ffff6595700 (running) (gdb) When combined with a thread ID, filtering applies to those threads that are matched by the ID.

2025-05-06Handle field with dynamic bit offsetTom Tromey5-22/+161
I discovered that GCC emitted incorrect DWARF for the test case included in this patch. Eric wrote a fix for GCC, but then he found that gdb crashed on the resulting file. This test has a field that is at a non-constant bit offset from the start of the type. DWARF 5 does not allow for this situation (I've sent a report to the DWARF list), but DWARF 3 did allow for this via a combination of an expression for the byte offset and then the use of DW_AT_bit_offset. This looks like: <5><117a>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_member) <117b> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x1959): another_field ... <1188> DW_AT_bit_offset : 6 <1189> DW_AT_data_member_location: 6 byte block: 99 3d 1 0 0 22 (DW_OP_call4: <0x1193>; DW_OP_plus) ... <3><1193>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_dwarf_procedure) <1194> DW_AT_location : 15 byte block: 97 94 1 37 1a 32 1e 23 7 38 1b 31 1c 23 3 (DW_OP_push_object_address; DW_OP_deref_size: 1; DW_OP_lit7; DW_OP_and; DW_OP_lit2; DW_OP_mul; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 7; DW_OP_lit8; DW_OP_div; DW_OP_lit1; DW_OP_minus; DW_OP_plus_uconst: 3) Now, that combination is not fully general, in that the bit offset must be a constant -- only the byte offset may really vary. However, I couldn't come up with a situation where full generality is needed, mainly because GNAT won't seem to pack fields into the padding of a variable-length array. Meanwhile, the reason for the gdb crash is that the code handling DW_AT_bit_offset assumes that the byte offset is a constant. This causes an assertion failure. This patch arranges for DW_AT_bit_offset to be applied during field resolution, when needed.
2025-05-06Introduce apply_bit_offset_to_field helper functionTom Tromey3-40/+72
This patch makes a new function, apply_bit_offset_to_field, that is used to handle the logic of DW_AT_bit_offset. Currently there is just a single caller, but the next patch will change this.
2025-05-06Use OBSTACK_ZALLOC when allocating batonsTom Tromey1-6/+9
I found some places in dwarf2/read.c that allocate a location baton, but fail to initialize one of the fields. It seems safer to me to use OBSTACK_ZALLOC here, so this patch makes this change. This will be useful in a subsequent patch as well, where a new field is added to one of the batons.
2025-05-06Clean up handle_member_locationTom Tromey1-3/+2
This removes a redundant check from handle_member_location, and also changes the complaint -- currently it will issue the "complex location" complaint, but really what is happening here is an unrecognized form.
2025-05-06Handle dynamic field propertiesTom Tromey9-91/+237
I found a situation where gdb could not properly decode an Ada type. In this first scenario, the discriminant of a type is a bit-field. PROP_ADDR_OFFSET does not handle this situation, because it only allows an offset -- not a bit-size. My original approach to this just added a bit size as well, but after some discussion with Eric Botcazou, we found another failing case: a tagged type can have a second discriminant that appears at a variable offset. So, this patch changes this code to accept a general 'struct field' instead of trying to replicate the field-finding machinery by itself. This is handled at property-evaluation time by simply using a 'field' and resolving its dynamic properties. Then the usual field-extraction function is called to get the value. Because the baton now just holds a field, I renamed PROP_ADDR_OFFSET to PROP_FIELD. The DWARF reader now defers filling in the property baton until the fields have been attached to the type. Finally, I noticed that if the discriminant field has a biased representation, then unpack_field_as_long would not handle this either. This bug is also fixed here, and the test case checks this. Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 41.
2025-05-06Add new unpack_field_as_long overloadTom Tromey2-6/+22
This introduces a new unpack_field_as_long that takes the field object directly, rather than a type and an index. This will be used in the next patch.
2025-05-06Add resolve_dynamic_fieldTom Tromey2-42/+62
The final patch in this series will change one dynamic property approach to use a struct field rather than an offset and a field type. This is convenient because the reference in DWARF is indeed to a field -- and this approach lets us reuse the field-extraction logic that already exists in gdb. However, the field in question may have dynamic properties which must be resolved before it can be used. This patch prepares for this by introducing a separate resolve_dynamic_field function. This patch should cause no visible changes to behavior.
2025-05-06Constify property_addr_infoTom Tromey2-14/+14
This changes most places to use a const property_addr_info. This seems more correct to me because normally the user of a property_addr_info should not modify it. Furthermore, some functions already take a const object, and for a subsequent patch it is convenient if other functions do as well.

2025-05-06gdb: support zero inode in generate-core-file commandAndrew Burgess1-1/+1
It is possible, when creating a shared memory segment (i.e. with shmget), that the id of the segment will be zero. When looking at the segment in /proc/PID/smaps, the inode field of the entry holds the shared memory segment id. And so, it can be the case that an entry (in the smaps file) will have an inode of zero. When GDB generates a core file, with the generate-core-file (or its gcore alias) command, the shared memory segment should be written into the core file. Fedora GDB has, since 2008, carried a patch that tests this case. There is no fix for GDB associated with the test, and unfortunately, the motivation for the test has been lost to the mists of time. This likely means that a fix was merged upstream without a suitable test, but I've not been able to find and relevant commit. The test seems to be checking that the shared memory segment with id zero, is being written to the core file. While looking at this test and trying to work out if it should be posted upstream, I saw that GDB does appear to write the shared memory segment into the core file (as expected), which is good. However, GDB still isn't getting this case exactly right. In gcore_memory_sections (gcore.c) we call back into linux-tdep.c (via the gdbarch_find_memory_regions call) to correctly write the shared memory segment into the core file, however, in linux_make_mappings_corefile_notes, when we use linux_find_memory_regions_full to create the NT_FILE note, we call back into linux_make_mappings_callback for each mapping, and in here we reject any mapping with a zero inode. The result of this, is that, for a shared memory segment with a non-zero id, after loading the core file, the shared memory segment will appear in the 'proc info mappings' output. But, for a shared memory segment with a zero id, the segment will not appear in the 'proc info mappings' output. I propose fixing this by not checking the inode in linux_make_mappings_callback. The inode check was in place since the code was originally added in commit 451b7c33cb3c9ec6272c36870 (in 2012). The test for this bug, based on the original Fedora patch, can be found on the mailing list here: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/0d389b435cbb0924335adbc9eba6cf30b4a2c4ee.1741776651.git.aburgess@redhat.com I have not committed this test into the tree though because the test was just too unreliable. User space doesn't have any control over the shared memory id, so all we can do is spam out requests for new shared memory segments and hope that we eventually get the zero id. Obviously, this can fail; the zero id might already be in use by some long running process, or the kernel, for whatever reason, might choose to never allocate the zero id. The test I posted (see above thread) did work more than 50% of the time, but it was far closer to a 50% success rate than 100%, and I really don't like introducing unreliable tests.
2025-05-06gdb/testsuite: add gcore_cmd_available predicate procAndrew Burgess7-4/+25
Add a new gcore_cmd_available predicate proc that can be used in a 'requires' line, and make use of it in a few tests. All of the tests I have modified call gdb_gcore_cmd as one of their first actions and exit if the gcore command is not available, so it makes sense (I think) to move the gcore command check into a requires call. There should be no change in what is actually run after this commit.
2025-05-06gdb/python/guile: check if styling is disabled in Color.escape_sequenceAndrew Burgess6-7/+41
I noticed that the gdb.Color.escape_sequence() method would produce an escape sequence even when styling is disabled. I think this is the wrong choice. Ideally, when styling is disabled (e.g. with 'set style enabled off'), GDB should not be producing styled output. If a GDB extension is using gdb.Color to apply styling to the output, then currently, the extension should be checking 'show style enabled' any time Color.escape_sequence() is used. This means lots of code duplication, and the possibility that some locations will be missed, which means disabling styling no longer does what it says. I propose that Color.escape_sequence() should return the empty string if styling is disabled. A Python extension can then do: python c_none = gdb.Color('none') c_red = gdb.Color('red') print(c_red.escape_sequence(True) + "Text in red." + c_none.escape_sequence(True)) end If styling is enable this will print some red text. And if styling is disabled, then it will print text in the terminal's default color. I have applied the same fix to the guile API. I have extended the tests to cover this case.

2025-05-05Fix sign of Ada rational constantsTom Tromey3-6/+18
My earlier patch commit 0c03db90 ("Use correct sign in get_mpz") was (very) incorrect. It changed get_mpz to check for a strict sign when examining part of an Ada rational constant. However, in Ada the "delta" for a fixed-point type must be positive, and so the components of the rational representation will be positive. This patch corrects the error. It also renames the get_mpz function, in case anyone is tempted to reuse this code for another purpose. Finally, this pulls over the test from the internal AdaCore test suite that found this issue.

We could increase the width of the screen, as suggested in the test-case, but I think that approach is fragile. Instead, fix this by relaxing the matching: just check that the line before scrolling is fully contained in the line after scrolling, or the other way around. Doing so gets us the next failure: ...

The test-case states: ... if { $down_count > 250 } { # Maybe we should accept this as a pass in case a target # really does have loads of assembler to scroll through. fail "$testname (too much assembler)" ... and I agree, so fix this by issuing a pass.

2025-05-02Use emoji to indicate errors and warningsTom Tromey10-17/+207
This patch adds, at long last, some emoji output to gdb. In particular, warnings are indicated with the U+26A0 (WARNING SIGN), and errors with U+274C (CROSS MARK). There is a new setting to control whether emoji output can be used. It defaults to "auto", which means emoji will be used if the host charset is UTF-8. Note that disabling styling will also disable emoji, handy for traditionalists. I've refactored mingw console output a little, so that emoji will not be printed to the console. Note the previous code here was a bit strange in that it assumed that the first use of gdb_console_fputs would be to stdout. This version lets the user control the prefixes directly, so different emoji can be chosen if desired.

The problem is that instruction stepping gets stuck in a loop with this call stack: time -> __GI___clock_gettime -> __kernel_clock_gettime -> __cvdso_clock_gettime. This is not specific to fsanitize=thread, it just makes gdb slow, which makes instruction stepping slow, which results in the application getting stuck. I ran into this as well with a regular gdb build on a 32-bit i686 laptop with 1GB of memory, an inherently slow setup. In that instance, I was able to observe that the loop we're stuck in is the outer loop in do_coarse in linux kernel source lib/vdso/gettimeofday.c. Fix this by setting "record full insn-number-max" to 2000, and handling running into the limit. Initially I tried the approach of using "stepi 2000" instead of continue, but that made the issue more likely to show up (for instance, I observed it after building gdb with -O0 on aarch64-linux).

2025-05-02Minor changes to Ada tests for gnat-llvmTom Tromey6-4/+56
I found a few more spots where a minor modification to a test lets it pass with gnat-llvm: * For array_subcript_addr, gnat-llvm was not putting the array into memory. Making the array larger works around this. * For bp_inlined_func, it is normal for gnat-llvm to sometimes emit a call to an out-of-line copy of the function, so accept this. * For null_overload and type-tick-size, I've applied the usual fix for keeping an unused local variable alive.
2025-05-02[gdb/testsuite] Make gdb.threads/inf-thr-count.exp more readableTom de Vries1-21/+34
While investigating a timeout in gdb.threads/inf-thr-count.exp I noticed that it uses quite some escaping, resulting in hard-to-parse regexps like "\\\$$::decimal". Fix this by reducing the escaping using: - quoting strings using {} instead of "", and - string_to_regexp. Also use multi_line to split up long multi-line regexps. Tested on x86_64-linux.

2025-04-30gdb: Stop exec_close looking like a UAF weaknessGuinevere Larsen1-3/+5
A recent static analyzer run flagged that program_space::exec_close could be using a pointer after it has been freed. This is not true, as the pointer is never dereferenced, the address is used for comparisons. However, to avoid false positives from static analyzers (or bogus security bugs), this commit makes the code stop looking like a UAF by moving the unique_ptr into a local unique_ptr, so that there is no way someone would think memory could be used after being freed.

2025-04-29gdb/dwarf: clean up some cutu_reader::is_dummy() callsSimon Marchi2-6/+4
This patch tries to standardize the places where we check if units are dummy. When checking if a unit is dummy, it is not necessary to check for some other conditions. - cutu_reader::is_dummy() is a superset of cutu_reader::cu() returning nullptr, so it's not necessary to check if the cu method return nullptr if also checking if the unit is dummy. - cutu_reader::is_dummy() is a superset of cutu_reader::top_level_die() returning nullptr, so same deal. Remove some spots that check for these conditions in addition to cutu_reader::is_dummy(). In addition, also remove the checks for: !new_reader->top_level_die ()->has_children in cooked_indexer::ensure_cu_exists. IMO, it is not useful to special case the units having a single DIE. Especially in this function, which deals with importing things from another unit, a unit with a single DIE would be an edge case that should not happen with good debug info. I think it's preferable to have simpler code. Change-Id: I4529d7b3a0bd2891a60f41671de8cfd3114adb4a Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
2025-04-29gdb/dwarf: avoid cutu_reader movesSimon Marchi3-17/+19
In process_psymtab_comp_unit and ensure_cu_exists, we create a temporary cutu_reader on the stack, then move it to a heap allocated cutu_reader once we confirmed the unit is not dummy. I think it's unnecessary to create a temporary cutu_reader. The only downside of not doing so is that if it ends up that the CU is dummy, we made an allocation/deallocation for nothing. Dummy CUs are a rare thing, it shouldn't change anything. This allows removing the cutu_reader move constructor.

2025-04-29gdb/dwarf: read multiple .debug_info.dwo sectionsSimon Marchi1-11/+26
When building with gcc, with flags -gdwarf-5, -gsplit-dwarf and -fdebug-types-section, the resulting .dwo files contain multiple .debug_info.dwo sections. One for each type unit and one for the compile unit. This is correct, as per DWARF 5, section F.2.3 ("Contents of the Split DWARF Object Files"): The split DWARF object files each contain the following sections: ... .debug_info.dwo (for the compilation unit) .debug_info.dwo (one COMDAT section for each type unit) ... GDB currently assumes that there is a single .debug_info.dwo section, causing unpredictable behavior. For example, sometimes this crash: ==81781==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address 0x508000007a71 at pc 0x58704d32a59c bp 0x7ffc0acc0bb0 sp 0x7ffc0acc0ba0 READ of size 1 at 0x508000007a71 thread T0 #0 0x58704d32a59b in bfd_getl32 /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/bfd/libbfd.c:846 #1 0x58704ae62dce in read_initial_length(bfd*, unsigned char const*, unsigned int*, bool) /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/leb.c:92 #2 0x58704aaf76bf in read_comp_unit_head(comp_unit_head*, unsigned char const*, dwarf2_section_info*, rcuh_kind) /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/comp-unit-head.c:47 #3 0x58704aaf8f97 in read_and_check_comp_unit_head(dwarf2_per_objfile*, comp_unit_head*, dwarf2_section_info*, dwarf2_section_info*, unsigned char const*, rcuh_kind) /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/comp-unit-head.c:193 #4 0x58704b022908 in create_dwo_unit_hash_tables /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:6233 #5 0x58704b0334a5 in open_and_init_dwo_file /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:7588 #6 0x58704b03965a in lookup_dwo_cutu /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:7935 #7 0x58704b03a5b1 in lookup_dwo_comp_unit /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:8009 #8 0x58704aff5b70 in lookup_dwo_unit /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:2802 The first time that locate_dwo_sections gets called for a .debug_info.dwo section, dwo_sections::info gets initialized properly. The second time it gets called for a .debug_info.dwo section, the size field in dwo_sections::info gets overwritten with the size of the second section. But the buffer remains pointing to the contents of the first section, because the section is already "read in". So the size does not match the buffer. And even if it did, we would only keep the information about one .debug_info.dwo, out of the many. First, add an assert in locate_dwo_sections to make sure we don't try to fill in a dwo section info twice. Add the assert to other functions with the same pattern, while at it. Then, change dwo_sections::info to be a vector of sections (just like we do for type sections). Update locate_dwo_sections to append to that vector when seeing a new .debug_info.dwo section. Update open_and_init_dwo_file to read the units from each section. The problem can be observed by running some tests with the dwarf5-fission-debug-types target board. For example, gdb.base/condbreak.exp crashes (with the ASan failure shown above) before the patch and passes after).
