2022-06-28gdb+gdbserver/Linux: avoid reading registers while going through shellPedro Alves1-0/+7
For every stop, Linux GDB and GDBserver save the stopped thread's PC, in lwp->stop_pc. This is done in save_stop_reason, in both gdb/linux-nat.c and gdbserver/linux-low.cc. However, while we're going through the shell after "run", in startup_inferior, we shouldn't be reading registers, as we haven't yet determined the target's architecture -- the shell's architecture may not even be the same as the final inferior's. In gdb/linux-nat.c, lwp->stop_pc is only needed when the thread has stopped for a breakpoint, and since when going through the shell, no breakpoint is going to hit, we could simply teach save_stop_reason to only record the stop pc when the thread stopped for a breakpoint. However, in gdbserver/linux-low.cc, lwp->stop_pc is used in more cases than breakpoint hits (e.g., it's used in tracepoints & the "while-stepping" feature). So to avoid GDB vs GDBserver divergence, we apply the same approach to both implementations. We set a flag in the inferior (process in GDBserver) whenever it is being nursed through the shell, and when that flag is set, save_stop_reason bails out early. While going through the shell, we'll only ever get process exits (normal or signalled), random signals, and exec events, so nothing is lost. Change-Id: If0f01831514d3a74d17efd102875de7d2c6401ad
2022-01-01Automatic Copyright Year update after running gdb/copyright.pyJoel Brobecker1-1/+1

2021-07-23gdb: make inferior::m_cwd an std::stringSimon Marchi1-2/+2
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. Change-Id: Ia2c047fda738d45f3d18bc999eb67ceb8400ce4e
2021-07-23gdb: un-share set_inferior_cwd declarationSimon Marchi1-0/+4
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. Change-Id: I3127d27d078f0503ebf5ccc6fddf14f212426a73
2021-03-22gdbserver: convert the global dll list into a process_info fieldTankut Baris Aktemur1-0/+7
The 'all_dlls' list is global. This would cause the complete dll list to be reported for individual processes. Move the list into the process_info struct. Currently the dll list is used only by the win32-low target, which does not support the multi-process feature. Therefore, it practically does not matter whether the list is global or per-process. However, there may be targets that are outside the binutils-gdb repo (e.g. we, at Intel, have such a target) that have multi-process and use the dll list. So, it makes sense to do the right thing. gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2021-03-22 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * inferiors.h (struct process_info) <all_dlls, dlls_changed>: New fields. * dll.h (loaded_dll) (unloaded_dll): Declare an overloaded version that takes a proc parameter. * dll.cc (loaded_dll) (unloaded_dll): Implement the overloaded versions. (clear_dlls): Clear all process' dll lists. (all_dlls, dlls_changed): Remove the global variables. * remote-utils.cc (prepare_resume_reply): Update to consider a dll list per proc. * server.cc (handle_qxfer_libraries): Ditto. (handle_v_attach): Ditto. (captured_main): Ditto.

2020-11-02gdb, gdbserver, gdbsupport: fix leading space vs tabs issuesSimon Marchi1-1/+1
Many spots incorrectly use only spaces for indentation (for example, there are a lot of spots in ada-lang.c). I've always found it awkward when I needed to edit one of these spots: do I keep the original wrong indentation, or do I fix it? What if the lines around it are also wrong, do I fix them too? I probably don't want to fix them in the same patch, to avoid adding noise to my patch. So I propose to fix as much as possible once and for all (hopefully). One typical counter argument for this is that it makes code archeology more difficult, because git-blame will show this commit as the last change for these lines. My counter counter argument is: when git-blaming, you often need to do "blame the file at the parent commit" anyway, to go past some other refactor that touched the line you are interested in, but is not the change you are looking for. So you already need a somewhat efficient way to do this. Using some interactive tool, rather than plain git-blame, makes this trivial. For example, I use "tig blame <file>", where going back past the commit that changed the currently selected line is one keystroke. It looks like Magit in Emacs does it too (though I've never used it). Web viewers of Github and Gitlab do it too. My point is that it won't really make archeology more difficult. The other typical counter argument is that it will cause conflicts with existing patches. That's true... but it's a one time cost, and those are not conflicts that are difficult to resolve. I have also tried "git rebase --ignore-whitespace", it seems to work well. Although that will re-introduce the faulty indentation, so one needs to take care of fixing the indentation in the patch after that (which is easy). gdb/ChangeLog: * aarch64-linux-tdep.c: Fix

2020-07-22gdbserver: handle running threads in qXfer:threads:readPedro Alves1-0/+3
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 2: info inferiors 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 Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.multi/multi-target/multi-target Reading /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 from remote target... warning: File transfers from remote targets can be slow.

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.
2020-02-07Move gdbserver to top levelTom Tromey1-0/+147
This patch moves gdbserver to the top level. This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will be done in a separate patch. [v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here. [v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver should be built. [v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary top-level dependencies. [v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a single, shared script. Tested by the buildbot.
