2023-12-14gdb: change regcache interface to use array_viewSimon Marchi1-4/+34
Change most of regcache (and base classes) to use array_view when possible, instead of raw pointers. By propagating the use of array_view further, it enables having some runtime checks to make sure the what we read from or write to regcaches has the expected length (such as the one in the `copy(array_view, array_view)` function. It also integrates well when connecting with other APIs already using gdb::array_view. Add some overloads of the methods using raw pointers to avoid having to change all call sites at once (which is both a lot of work and risky). I tried to do this change in small increments, but since many of these functions use each other, it ended up simpler to do it in one shot than having a lot of intermediary / transient changes. This change extends into gdbserver as well, because there is some part of the regcache interface that is shared. Changing the reg_buffer_common interface to use array_view caused some build failures in nat/aarch64-scalable-linux-ptrace.c. That file currently "takes advantage" of the fact that reg_buffer_common::{raw_supply,raw_collect} operates on `void *`, which IMO is dangerous. It uses raw_supply/raw_collect directly on uint64_t's, which I guess is fine because it is expected that native code will have the same endianness as the debugged process. To accomodate that, add some overloads of raw_collect and raw_supply that work on uint64_t. This file also uses raw_collect and raw_supply on `char` pointers. Change it to use `gdb_byte` pointers instead. Add overloads of raw_collect and raw_supply that work on `gdb_byte *` and make an array_view on the fly using the register's size. Those call sites could be converted to use array_view with not much work, in which case these overloads could be removed, but I didn't want to do it in this patch, to avoid starting to dig in arch-specific code. During development, I inadvertently changed reg_buffer::raw_compare's behavior to not accept an offset equal to the register size. This behavior (effectively comparing 0 bytes, returning true) change was caught by the AArch64 SME core tests. Add a selftest to make sure that this raw_compare behavior is preserved in the future.

2023-12-14gdb: use reg_buffer_common throughout gdbsupport/common-regcache.hSimon Marchi1-7/+10
Right now, gdbsupport/common-regcache.h contains two abstractons for a regcache. An opaque type `regcache` (gdb and gdbserver both have their own regcache that is the concrete version of this) and an abstract base class `reg_buffer_common`, that is the base of regcaches on both sides. These abstractions allow code to be written for both gdb and gdbserver, for instance in the gdb/arch sub-directory. However, having two different abstractions is impractical. If some common code has a regcache, and wants to use an operation defined on reg_buffer_common, it can't. It would be better to have just one. Change all instances of `regcache *` in gdbsupport/common-regcache.h to be `reg_buffer_common *`, then fix fallouts. Implementations in gdb and gdbserver now need to down-cast (using gdb::checked_static_cast) from reg_buffer_common to their concrete regcache type. Some of them could be avoided by changing free functions (like regcache_register_size) to be virtual methods on reg_buffer_common. I tried it, it seems to work, but I did not include it in this series to avoid adding unnecessary changes.

2020-05-14gdb: protect some 'regcache_read_pc' callsTankut Baris Aktemur1-0/+5
It possible that a thread whose PC we attempt to read is already dead. In this case, 'regcache_read_pc' errors out. This impacts the "proceed" execution flow, where GDB quits early before having a chance to check if there exists a pending event. To remedy, keep going with a 0 value for the PC if 'regcache_read_pc' fails. Because the value of PC before resuming a thread is mostly used for storing and checking the next time the thread stops, this tolerance is expected to be harmless for a dead thread/process. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-05-14 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * regcache.c (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function implementation that returns 0 if the PC cannot read via 'regcache_read_pc'. * infrun.c (proceed): Call 'regcache_read_pc_protected' instead of 'regcache_read_pc'. (keep_going_pass_signal): Ditto. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: 2020-05-14 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * common-regcache.h (regcache_read_pc_protected): New function declaration.
2020-01-14Move gdbsupport to the top levelTom Tromey1-0/+85
This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top level. The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport". This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build. gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its own build of gdbsupport.
