Now that defs.h, server.h and common-defs.h are included via the
`-include` option, it is no longer necessary for source files to include
them. Remove all the inclusions of these files I could find. Update
the generation scripts where relevant.

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.

The recent commit 421490af33bf ("gdbserver/linux: Access memory even
if threads are running") caused a regression in
gdb.threads/access-mem-running-thread-exit.exp with gdbserver, which I
somehow missed. Like so:
(gdb) print global_var
Cannot access memory at address 0x555555558010
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/access-mem-running-thread-exit.exp: non-stop: access mem (print global_var after writing, inf=2, iter=1)
The problem starts with GDB telling GDBserver to select a thread, via
the Hg packet, which GDBserver complies with, then that thread exits,
and GDB, without knowing the thread is gone, tries to write to memory,
through the context of the previously selected Hg thread.
GDBserver's GDB-facing memory access routines, gdb_read_memory and
gdb_write_memory, call set_desired_thread to make GDBserver re-select
the thread that GDB has selected with the Hg packet. Since the thread
is gone, set_desired_thread returns false, and the memory access
fails.
Now, to access memory, it doesn't really matter which thread is
selected. All we should need is the target process. Even if the
thread that GDB previously selected is gone, and GDB does not yet know
about that exit, it shouldn't matter, GDBserver should still know
which process that thread belonged to.
Fix this by making GDBserver track the current process separately,
like GDB also does. Add a new set_desired_process routine that is
similar to set_desired_thread, but just sets the current process,
leaving the current thread as NULL. Use it in the GDB-facing memory
read and write routines, to avoid failing if the selected thread is
gone, but the process is still around.

This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.

Replace the direct assignments to current_thread with
switch_to_thread. Use scoped_restore_current_thread when appropriate.
There is one instance remaining in linux-low.cc's wait_for_sigstop.
This will be handled in a separate patch.
Regression-tested on X86-64 Linux using the native-gdbserver and
native-extended-gdbserver board files.
|
|
Introduce a class for restoring the current thread and a function to
switch to the given thread. This is a preparation for a refactoring
that aims to remove direct assignments to 'current_thread'.
|
|
Add a constructor and a destructor. The constructor takes care of the
initialization that happened in add_thread, while the destructor takes
care of the freeing that happened in free_one_thread. This is needed to
make target_waitstatus non-POD, as thread_info contains a member of that
type.

Same idea as the previous patch, but for m_cwd.
To keep things consistent across the board, change get_inferior_cwd as
well, which is shared with GDBserver. So update the related GDBserver
code too.

The declaration of set_inferior_cwd is currently shared between gdb and
gdbserver, in gdbsupport/common-inferior.h. It doesn't need to be, as
set_inferior_cwd is not called from common code. Only get_inferior_cwd
needs to.
The motivation for this is that a future patch will change the prototype
of set_inferior_cwd in gdb, and I don't want to change it for gdbserver
unnecessarily. I see this as a good cleanup in any case, to reduce to
just the essential what is shared between GDB and GDBserver.

PR gdb/26742 points out some undefined behavior in gdbserver. The bug
is that remove_thread does:
free_one_thread (thread);
if (current_thread == thread)
current_thread = NULL;
However, the equality check is undefined, because "thread" has already
been freed.
This patch fixes the bug by moving the check earlier.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.

On some systems, the gdb.multi/multi-target.exp testcase occasionally
fails like so:
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-target.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-target.exp: info-inferiors: multi_process=on: inferior 1: info connections
FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-target.exp: info-inferiors: multi_process=on: inferior 1: info inferiors
FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-target.exp: info-inferiors: multi_process=on: inferior 2: info connections

FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-target.exp: info-inferiors: multi_process=on: inferior 3: inferior 3
... many more cascading fails.
The problem starts when the testcase runs an inferior against GDBserver:
(gdb) run

Remote connection closed
...
Note the "Remote connection closed" message. That means GDBserver
exited abruptly.
I traced it down to the fact that GDB fetches the thread list from
GDBserver while the main thread of the process is still running. On
my main system where I wrote the testcase, I have not observed the
failure because it is slow enough that the thread stops before
GDBserver fetches the thread list in the problem scenario which I'll
describe below.
With some --remote-debug logging from GDBserver side, we see the last
packets before the connection closes:
...
getpkt ("vCont;c"); [no ack sent]
putpkt ("$OK#9a"); [noack mode]
getpkt ("Tp10f9a.10f9a"); [no ack sent]
putpkt ("$OK#9a"); [noack mode]
getpkt ("Hgp0.0"); [no ack sent]
putpkt ("$OK#9a"); [noack mode]
getpkt ("qXfer:threads:read::0,1000"); [no ack sent]
Note the vCont;c , which sets the program running, and then a
qXfer:threads:read packet at the end.
The problem happens when the thread list refresh (qXfer:threads:read)
is sent just while the main thread is running and it still hasn't
initialized its libpthread id internally. In that state, the main
thread's lwp will remain with the thread_known flag clear. See in
find_one_thread:
/* If the new thread ID is zero, a final thread ID will be available
later. Do not enable thread debugging yet. */
if (ti.ti_tid == 0)
return 0;
Now, back in server.cc, to handle the qXfer:threads:read, we reach
handle_qxfer_threads -> handle_qxfer_threads_proper, and the latter
then calls handle_qxfer_threads_worker for each known thread. In
handle_qxfer_threads_worker, we call target_thread_handle. This ends
up in thread_db_thread_handle, here:
if (!lwp->thread_known && !find_one_thread (thread->id))
return false;
Since the thread ID isn't known yet, we call find_one_thread. This
calls into libthread_db.so, which accesses memory. Because the
current thread is running, that fails and we throw an error, here:
/* Get information about this thread. */
err = thread_db->td_ta_map_lwp2thr_p (thread_db->thread_agent, lwpid, &th);
if (err != TD_OK)
error ("Cannot get thread handle for LWP %d: %s",
lwpid, thread_db_err_str (err));
The current design is that whenever GDB-facing packets/requests need
to accesses memory, server.cc is supposed to prepare the target for
the access. See gdb_read_memory / gdb_write_memory. This preparation
means pausing threads if in non-stop mode (someday we could lift this
requirement, but we will still need to pause to access registers or do
other related ptrace accesses like PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA). Note that
the multi-target.exp testcase forces "maint set target-non-stop on".
So the fix here is to prepare the target to access memory when
handling qXfer:threads:read too.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* inferiors.cc (switch_to_process): New, moved here from
thread-db.cc, and made extern.
* inferiors.h (switch_to_process): Declare.
* server.cc: Include "gdbsupport/scoped_restore.h".
(handle_qxfer_threads_proper): Now returns bool. Prepare to
access memory around target calls.
(handle_qxfer_threads): Handle errors.
* thread-db.cc (switch_to_process): Moved to inferiors.cc.

For the same reasons outlined in the previous patch, this patch renames
gdbserver source files to .cc.
I have moved the "-x c++" switch to only those rules that require it.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Rename source files from .c to .cc.
* %.c: Rename to %.cc.
* configure.ac: Rename server.c to server.cc.
* configure: Re-generate.
