FreeBSD systems have provided these functions in libutil since 7.1
release. The most recent release without support is 6.4 released in
November of 2008.
This also requires libutil-freebsd on GNU/kFreeBSD systems. I assume
that those systems have supported kinfo_get_file and kinfo_get_vmmap
over a similar timeframe.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Remove check for kinfo_getvmmap().
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_read_mapping): Remove
(fbsd_nat_target::find_memory_regions): Remove the procfs version.
(fbsd_nat_target::info_proc): Assume kinfo_getfile() and
kinfo_get_vmmap() are always present.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* common.m4 (GDB_AC_COMMON): Refactor checks for kinfo_getfile().
* configure, config.in: Regenerate.

This patch started by adding comprehensive unit tests for enum_flags.
For the testing part, it adds:
- tests of normal expected uses of the API.
- checks that _invalid_ uses of the API would fail to compile. I.e.,
it validates that enum_flags really is a strong type, and that
incorrect mixing of enum types would be caught at compile time. It
pulls that off making use of SFINEA and C++11's decltype/constexpr.
This revealed many holes in the enum_flags API. For example, the f1
assignment below currently incorrectly fails to compile:
enum_flags<flags> f1 = FLAG1;
enum_flags<flags> f2 = FLAG2 | f1;
The unit tests also revealed that this useful use case doesn't work:
enum flag { FLAG1 = 1, FLAG2 = 2 };
enum_flags<flag> src = FLAG1;
enum_flags<flag> f1 = condition ? src : FLAG2;
It fails to compile because enum_flags<flag> and flag are convertible
to each other.
Turns out that making enum_flags be implicitly convertible to the
backing raw enum type was not a good idea.
If we make it convertible to the underlying type instead, we fix that
ternary operator use case, and, we find cases throughout the codebase
that should be using the enum_flags but were using the raw backing
enum instead. So it's a good change overall.
Also, several operators were missing.
These holes and more are plugged by this patch, by reworking how the
enum_flags operators are implemented, and making use of C++11's
feature of being able to delete methods/functions.
There are cases in gdb/compile/ where we need to call a function in a
C plugin API that expects the raw enum. To address cases like that,
this adds a "raw()" method to enum_flags. This way we can keep using
the safer enum_flags to construct the value, and then be explicit when
we need to get at the raw enum.
This makes most of the enum_flags operators constexpr. Beyond
enabling more compiler optimizations and enabling the new unit tests,
this has other advantages, like making it possible to use operator|
with enum_flags values in switch cases, where only compile-time
constants are allowed:
enum_flags<flags> f = FLAG1 | FLAG2;
switch (f)
{
case FLAG1 | FLAG2:
break;
}
Currently that fails to compile.
It also switches to a different mechanism of enabling the global
operators. The current mechanism isn't namespace friendly, the new
one is.
It also switches to C++11-style SFINAE -- instead of wrapping the
return type in a SFINAE-friently structure, we use an unnamed template
parameter. I.e., this:
template <typename enum_type,
typename = is_enum_flags_enum_type_t<enum_type>>
enum_type
operator& (enum_type e1, enum_type e2)
instead of:
template <typename enum_type>
typename enum_flags_type<enum_type>::type
operator& (enum_type e1, enum_type e2)
Note that the static_assert inside operator~() was converted to a
couple overloads (signed vs unsigned), because static_assert is too
late for SFINAE-based tests, which is important for the CHECK_VALID
unit tests.
Tested with gcc {4.8, 7.1, 9.3} and clang {5.0.2, 10.0.0}.

An earlier attempt at doing this had failed (wouldn't work in GCCs
around 4.8, IIRC), but now that I try again, it works. I suspect that
my previous attempt did not use the pre C++14-safe void_t (in
traits.h).
I want to switch to this model because:
- It's the standard detection idiom that folks will learn starting
with C++17.
- In the enum_flags unit tests, I have a static_assert that triggers
a warning (resulting in build error), which GCC does not suppress
because the warning is not being triggered in the SFINAE context.
Switching to the detection idiom fixes that. Alternatively,
switching to the C++03-style expression-validity checking with a
varargs overload would allow addressing that, but I think that
would be going backwards idiomatically speaking.
- While this patch shows a net increase of lines of code, the magic
being added to traits.h can be removed in a few years when we start
requiring C++17.

This adds support for the bfloat16 datatype, which can be seen as a short
version of FP32, skipping the least significant 16 bits of the mantissa.
Since the datatype is currently only supported by the AVX512 registers,
the printing of bfloat16 values is only supported for xmm, ymm and zmm
registers.

I found myself wanting to run a few specific selftests while developing.
I thought it would be nice to be able to provide multiple test names
when running `maintenant selftests`. The arguments to that command is
currently interpreted as a single filter (not split by spaces), it now
becomes a list a filters, split by spaces. A test is executed when it
matches at least one filter.
Here's an example of the result in GDB:
(gdb) maintenance selftest xml
Running selftest xml_escape_text.
Running selftest xml_escape_text_append.
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
(gdb) maintenance selftest xml unord
Running selftest unordered_remove.
Running selftest xml_escape_text.
Running selftest xml_escape_text_append.
Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed
(gdb) maintenance selftest xml unord foobar
Running selftest unordered_remove.
Running selftest xml_escape_text.
Running selftest xml_escape_text_append.
Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed
Since the selftest machinery is also shared with gdbserver, I also
adapted gdbserver. It accepts a `--selftest` switch, which accepts an
optional filter argument. I made it so you can now pass `--selftest`
multiple time to add filters.
It's not so useful right now though: there's only a single selftest
right now in GDB and it's for an architecture I can't compile. So I
tested by adding dummy tests, here's an example of the result:
$ ./gdbserver --selftest=foo
Running selftest foo.
foo
Running selftest foobar.
foobar
Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed
$ ./gdbserver --selftest=foo --selftest=bar
Running selftest bar.
bar
Running selftest foo.
foo
Running selftest foobar.
foobar
Ran 3 unit tests, 0 failed

One regcache object is created for each stopped thread and is stored in
the regcache::regcaches linked list. Looking up a regcache for a given
thread is therefore in O(number of threads). Stopping all threads then
becomes O((number of threads) ^ 2). Same goes for resuming a thread
(need to delete the regcache of a given ptid) and resuming all threads.
It becomes noticeable when debugging thousands of threads, which is
typical with GPU targets. This patch replaces the linked list with some
maps to reduce that complexity.
The first design was using an std::unordered_map with (target, ptid,
arch) as the key, because that's how lookups are done (in
get_thread_arch_aspace_regcache). However, the registers_changed_ptid
function, also somewhat on the hot path (it is used when resuming
threads), needs to delete all regcaches associated to a given (target,
ptid) tuple. If the key of the map is (target, ptid, arch), we have to
walk all items of the map, not good.
The second design was therefore using an std::unordered_multimap with
(target, ptid) as the key. One key could be associated to multiple
regcaches, all with different gdbarches. When looking up, we would have
to walk all these regcaches. This would be ok, because there will
usually be actually one matching regcache. In the exceptional
multi-arch thread cases, there will be maybe two. However, in
registers_changed_ptid, we sometimes need to remove all regcaches
matching a given target. We would then have to talk all items of the
map again, not good.
The design as implemented in this patch therefore uses two levels of
map. One std::unordered_map uses the target as the key. The value type
is an std::unordered_multimap that itself uses the ptid as the key. The
values of the multimap are the regcaches themselves. Again, we expect
to have one or very few regcaches per (target, ptid).
So, in summary:
* The lookups (in get_thread_arch_aspace_regcache), become faster when
the number of threads grows, compared to the linked list. With a
small number of threads, it will probably be a bit slower to do map
lookups than to walk a few linked list nodes, but I don't think it
will be noticeable in practice.
* The function registers_changed_ptid deletes all regcaches related to a
given (target, ptid). It must now handle the different cases separately:
- NULL target and minus_one_ptid: we delete all the entries
- NULL target and non-minus_one_ptid: invalid (checked by assert)
- non-NULL target and non-minus_one_ptid: we delete all the entries
associated to that tuple
- a non-NULL target and minus_one_ptid: we delete all the entries
associated to that target
* The function regcache_thread_ptid_changed is called when a thread
changes ptid. It is implemented efficiently using the map, although
that's not very important: it is not called often, mostly when
creating an inferior, on some specific platforms.
This patch is a tiny bit from ROCm GDB [1] we would like to merge
upstream. Laurent Morichetti gave be these performance numbers:
The benchmark used is:
time ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory /extra/lmoriche/hip/samples/0_Intro/bit_extract/bit_extract -ex "set pagination off" -ex "set breakpoint pending on" -ex "b bit_extract_kernel if \$_thread == 5" -ex run -ex c -batch
It measures the time it takes to continue from a conditional breakpoint with
2048 threads at that breakpoint, one of them reporting the breakpoint.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and i686-pc-linux-gnu.

It was pointed out on IRC that the RISC-V target allocates target
descriptions and stores them in a global map, and doesn't delete these
target descriptions when GDB shuts down.
This isn't a particular problem, the total number of target
descriptions we can create is very limited so creating these on demand
and holding them for the entire run on GDB seems reasonable.
However, not deleting these objects on GDB exit means extra warnings
are printed from tools like valgrind, and the address sanitiser,
making it harder to spot real issues. As it's reasonably easy to have
GDB correctly delete these objects on exit, lets just do that.
I started by noticing that we already have a target_desc_up type, a
wrapper around unique_ptr that calls a function that will correctly
delete target descriptions, so I want to use that, but....
...that type is declared in gdb/target-descriptions.h. If I try to
include that file in gdb/arch/riscv.c I run into a problem, that file
is compiled into both GDB and GDBServer.
OK, I could guard the include with #ifdef, but surely we can do
better.
So then I decided to move the target_desc_up type into
gdbsupport/tdesc.h, this is the interface file for generic code shared
between GDB and GDBserver (relating to target descriptions). The
actual implementation for the delete function still lives in
gdb/target-description.c, but now gdb/arch/riscv.c can see the
declaration. Problem solved....
... but, though RISC-V doesn't use it I've now exposed the
target_desc_up type to gdbserver, so in future someone _might_ start
using it, which is fine, except right now there's no definition of the
delete function - remember the delete I used is only defined in GDB
code.
No problem, I add an implementation of the delete operator into
gdbserver/tdesc.cc, and all is good..... except....
I start getting this error from GCC:
tdesc.cc:109:10: error: deleting object of polymorphic class type ‘target_desc’ which has non-virtual destructor might cause undefined behavior [-Werror=delete-non-virtual-dtor]
Which is caused because gdbserver's target_desc type inherits from
tdesc_element which has a virtual method, and so GCC worries that
target_desc might be used as a base class.
The solution is to declare gdbserver's target_desc class as final.
This is fine so long as we never intent to inherit from
target_desc (in gdbserver). But if we did then we'd want to make
target_desc's destructor virtual anyway, so the error above would be
resolved, and there wouldn't be an issue.

gdb's copy of basic_string_view includes a to_string method. However,
according to cppreference, this is not a method on the real
std::basic_string_view:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string_view
This difference matters because gdb_string_view.h will use the
standard implementation when built with a C++17 or later. This caused
PR build/26183.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the method to be a standalone
helper function, and then rewriting the uses. Tested by rebuilding
with a version of GCC that defaults to C++17.
(Note that the build still is not clean; and also I noticed that the
libstdc++ string_view forbids the use of nullptr ... I wonder if gdb
violates that.)

This commit adds a new maintenance command that dumps the current
target description as an XML document. This is a maintenance command
as I currently only see this being useful for GDB developers, or for
people debugging a new remote target.
By default the command will print whatever the current target
description is, whether this was delivered by the remote, loaded by
the user from a file, or if it is a built in target within GDB.
The command can also take an optional filename argument. In this case
GDB loads a target description from the file, and then reprints it.
This could be useful for testing GDB's parsing of target descriptions,
or to check that GDB can successfully parse a particular XML
description.
It is worth noting that the XML description printed will not be an
exact copy of the document fed into GDB. For example this minimal
input file:
<target>
<feature name="abc">
<reg name="r1" bitsize="32"/>
</feature>
</target>
Will produce this output:
(gdb) maint print xml-tdesc path/to/file.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE target SYSTEM "gdb-target.dtd">
<target>
<feature name="abc">
<reg name="r1" bitsize="32" type="int" regnum="0"/>
</feature>
</target>
Notice that GDB filled in both the 'type' and 'regnum' fields of the
<reg>. I think this is actually a positive as it means we get to
really understand how GDB processed the document, if GDB made some
assumptions that differ to those the user expected then hopefully this
will bring those issues to the users attention.
To implement this I have tweaked the output produced by the
print_xml_feature which is defined within the gdbsupport/ directory.
The changes I have made to this class are:
1. The <architecture>...</architecture> tags are now not produced if
the architecture name is NULL.
2. The <osabi>...</osabi> tags get a newline at the end.
3. And, the whole XML document is indented using white space in a
nested fashion (as in the example output above).
I think that these changes should be fine, the print_xml_feature class
is used:
1. In gdbserver to generate an XML document to send as the target
description to GDB.
2. In GDB as part of a self-check function, a target_desc is
converted to XML then parsed back into a target_desc. We then check
the before and after target_desc objects are the same.
3. In the new 'maint print xml-tdesc' command.
In all of these use cases adding the extra white space should be fine.

The gdbsupport directory contains a helper class print_xml_feature
that is shared between gdb and gdbserver. This class is used for
printing an XML representation of a target_desc object.
Currently this class doesn't have the ability to print the
<compatible> entities that can appear within a target description, I
guess no targets have needed that functionality yet.
The print_xml_feature classes API is based around operating on the
target_desc class, however, the sharing between gdb and gdbserver is
purely textural, we rely on their being a class called target_desc in
both gdb and gdbserver, but there is no shared implementation. We
then have a set of functions declared that operate on an object of
type target_desc, and again these functions have completely separate
implementations.
Currently then the gdb version of target_desc contains a vector of
bfd_arch_info pointers which represents the compatible entries from a
target description. The gdbserver version of target_desc has no such
information. Further, the gdbserver code doesn't seem to include the
bfd headers, and so doesn't know about the bfd types.
I was reluctant to include the bfd headers into gdbserver just so I
can reference the compatible information, which isn't (currently) even
needed in gdbserver.
So, the approach I take in this patch is to wrap the compatible
information into a new helper class. This class is declared in the
gdbsupport library, but implemented separately in both gdb and
gdbserver.
In gdbserver the class is empty. The compatible information within
the gdbserver is an empty list, of empty classes.
In gdb the class contains a pointer to the bfd_arch_info object.
With this in place we can now add support to print_xml_feature for
printing the compatible information if it is present. In the
gdbserver code this will never happen, as the gdbserver never has any
compatible information. But in gdb, this code will trigger when
appropriate.

Allow construct_inferior_arguments to handle zero args
and have it return a std::string, similar to how
stringify_argv in gdbsupport/common-utils does.
Also, add a const qualifier for the second parameter,
since it is only read, not written to.
The intention is to replace existing uses of
stringify_argv by construct_inferior_arguments
in a subsequent step, since construct_inferior_arguments
properly handles special characters, while stringify_argv
doesn't.

This patch avoids depending on the current locale when parsing &
comparing symbol names, by using libiberty's safe-ctype.h uppercase
TOLOWER, ISXDIGIT, etc. macros instead of the standard ctype.h
tolower, isxdigit, etc. macros/functions.
This commit:
commit b1b60145aedb8adcb0b9dcf43a5ae735c2f03b51

Support UTF-8 identifiers in C/C++ expressions (PR gdb/22973)
did something similar, except in the expression parser.
This can improve GDB's symbol loading performance significantly.
Currently strcmp_iw_ordered can show up high on profiles (called from
sort_pst_symbols -> std::sort) because of the isspace and tolower
functions. Hannes mentions seeing it as high as in ~24% of the
profiling samples on Windows
(https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168858.html).
I tested GDB's performance (built with "-g -O2") loading a "-g -O0"
build of gdb.
I ran GDB 10 times like:
/bin/time -f %e \
./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory -nx \
-batch /tmp/gdb-g-O0
Then I computed the mean time.
The baseline mean time was
gdb 2.515
This patch brings the number down to
gdb 2.096
Which is an around 16% improvement.

Some Intel processors implement a Branch Trace Store (BTS) which GDB
uses for reverse execution support via the "record btrace bts"
command.
I have been unable to find a description of a similar feature in a
recent (April 2020) AMD64 architecture reference:
https://www.amd.com/system/files/TechDocs/40332.pdf
While it is the case that AMD processors have an LBR (last branch
record) bit in the DebugCtl MSR, it seems that it affects only four
MSRs when enabled. The names of these MSRs are LastBranchToIP,
LastBranchFromIP, LastIntToIP, and LastIntFromIP. I can find no
mention of anything more extensive. While looking at an Intel
architecture document, I noticed that Intel's P6 family from the
mid-90s had registers of the same name.
Therefore...
This commit disables "record btrace bts" support in GDB for AMD
processors.
Using the test case from gdb.base/break.exp, the sessions
below show the expected behavior (run on a machine with an
Intel processor) versus that on a machine with an AMD processor.
The AMD processor in question is reported as follows by "lscpu":
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core Processor . Finally, I'll
note that the AMD machine is actually a VM, but I see similar
behavior on both the virtualization host and the VM.

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.

The proposed fix is to include <cstdlib> in addition to <stdlib.h>.
Here's an excerpt of [2] relevant to this problem:
These headers [speaking of the .h form] are allowed to also declare
the same names in the std namespace, and the corresponding cxxx
headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the global
namespace: including <cstdlib> definitely provides std::malloc and
may also provide ::malloc. Including <stdlib.h> definitely provides
::malloc and may also provide std::malloc
Since we use std::abs, we should not assume that our include of stdlib.h
declares an `abs` function in the `std` namespace.
If we replace the include of stdlib.h with cstdlib, then we fall in the
opposite situation. A standard C++ library may decide to only put the
declarations in the std namespace, requiring us to prefix all standard
functions with `std::`. I'm not against that, but for the moment I think the
safest way forward is to just include both.
Note that I don't know what effect this patch can have on any stdlib.h fix
provided by gnulib.

I recently learned that move constructors generally should be marked
"noexcept". This ensures that standard containers will move objects
when possible, rather than copy them.
This patch fixes the cases I could find. Note that implicitly-defined
or defaulted move constructors will automatically do what you'd
expect; that is, they are noexcept if all the members have noexcept
move constructors.
While doing this, I noticed a couple of odd cases where the move
constructor seemed to assume that the object being constructed could
have state requiring destruction. I've fixed these as well. See
completion_result and scoped_mmap.

Code in gdbsupport can't call gdb_flush, so this introduces a new
"flush_streams" function that must be supplied by the client.
Note that the similar gdb_flush_out_err exists, but it isn't defined
in quite the same way, so it wasn't clear to me whether the two could
be merged.

I compiled gdb with -fsanitize=undefined and ran the test suite.
A couple of reports came from passing NULL to memcpy, e.g.:

I stumbled on this snippet in nat/gdb_ptrace.h:
/* Some systems, in particular DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, Compaq Tru64
or whatever it's called these days, don't provide a prototype for
ptrace. Provide one to silence compiler warnings. */
#ifndef HAVE_DECL_PTRACE
extern PTRACE_TYPE_RET ptrace();
#endif
I believe this is unnecessary today and should be removed. First, the
comment only mentions OSes we don't support (and to be honest, I had
never even heard of).
But most importantly, in C++, a declaration with empty parenthesis
declares a function that accepts no arguments, unlike in C. So if this
declaration was really used, GDB wouldn't build, since all ptrace call
sites pass some arguments. Since we haven't heard anything about this
causing some build failures since we have transitioned to C++, I
conclude that it's not used.
This patch removes it as well as the corresponding configure check.

* ptrace.m4: Don't check for ptrace declaration.

This changes gdbsupport so that it no longer relies on BFD. This is a
precursor to making gdbserver use the already-built gdbsupport,
because building gdbserver should not require BFD to be built.
The most notable change here is that CORE_ADDR is always a 64-bit
type. This makes it so that gdb acts as if it were always built in
64-bit mode.

The same is done for gdb, gdbserver and gdbsupport. I therefore think
it makes sense to move that to GDB_AC_COMMON.
It is required to move the call to GDB_AC_COMMON so it is before
GDB_AC_SELFTEST in gdbserver/configure.ac, otherwise the $development
variable isn't set when the code behind GDB_AC_SELFTEST executes.

Before commit 3d1e5a43cbe ("gdbsupport/configure.ac: source
development.sh"), the GDB build in non-development mode (turn
development to false in bfd/development.sh if you want to try) was
broken because the gdbsupport configure script didn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable.
Since the GDB_AC_SELFTEST macro relies on the `development` variable, I
propose to modify it such that it errors out if $development does not
have an expected value of "true" or "false". This could prevent a
future similar problem from happening while refactoring the configure
scripts. It would have caught the problem fixed by the patch mentioned
earlier.

While compiling with clang, I noticed it didn't catch cases where my
function declaration didn't match my function definition. This is
normally caught by gcc with -Wmissing-declarations.
On clang, this is caught by -Wmissing-prototypes instead.
Note that on gcc, -Wmissing-prototypes also exists, but is only valid
for C and Objective-C. It gets correctly rejected by the configure
script since gcc rejects it with:
cc1plus: error: command line option '-Wmissing-prototypes' is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ -Werror
So this warning flag ends up not used for gcc (which is what we want).

* configure: Re-generate.

* configure: Re-generate.

Copy the .dir-locls.el file from gdb/ to gdbserver/ and gdbsupport/ so
that we get the GNU/GDB style when editing these files in Emacs.
I initially wanted to remove the (c-mode . ((mode . c++))) that
switches c-mode files into c++-mode as we store C++ code in *.cc files
in the gdbserver/ directory, unlike gdb/ where we use *.c, however, I
was forgetting about the header files - we still use *.h for our C++
header files, so for now I left the settings in place to open all C
files in c++-mode.
We now have three copies of this file, which are all identical. It
would be nice if we could remove this duplication, however, for now we
haven't found a good way to do this.
Some options considered were:
1. Use symlinks to only have one copy of the file. This was
rejected as not all targets support symlinks in the way.
2. Have two of the .dir-locals.el files contain some mechanism by
which the third copy of the file is sourced. Though this would, in
theory, be possible, it would involve some advanced Emacs scripting,
would be fragile, and a maintenance burdon.
3. Move the .dir-locals up into top level src/ directory, then use
Emacs dir-locals directory pattern matching to only apply the rules
for the three directories we care about. The problem is that each
directory has to be listed separately, so we still end up having to
duplicate all the rules.
In the end, it was decided that having three copies of the file,
though not ideal, is probably easiest for now. This was all discussed
in this mailing list thread:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-03/msg00024.html
The copyright date in the new files is left as for gdb/.dir-locals.el,
as the new files are a copy of the old, this is inline with this rule:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist#Copyright_Header

* .dir-locals.el: Add a comment referencing the other copies of
this file.

The GDB build in non-development mode (turn development to false in

/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/selftest.cc:96: error: undefined reference to 'selftests::reset()'
This is because the gdbsupport configure script doesn't source
bfd/development.sh to set the development variable. When $development
is unset, GDB_AC_SELFTEST defaults to enabling selftests. I don't think
the macro was written with this intention in mind, it just happens to be
that way.
So gdbsupport thinks selftests are enabled, while gdb thinks they are
disabled. gdbsupport compiles in code that calls selftests:: functions,
which are normally provided by gdb, but gdb doesn't provide them, hence
the undefined references.
Fix this by sourcing bfd/development.sh in gdbsupport/configure.ac, so
that the development variable is set.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Added call development.sh.
* configure: Regenerate.

The files specify cpp-style diffs for .h and .c files. This is

This patch creates a .gitattributes file per each of gdb, gdbserver,

GCC's config/ChangeLog since the last time this merge was done
(in the binutils-gdb commit 0b4d000cc4e8e77c823) is included at the
end of this commit message.
It is worth noting that the binutils-gdb commit 301a9420d947da1458
added the file config/debuginfod.m4 which is not present in GCC's
config/ directory. This file is preserved, unmodified, after this
commit.
In order to regenerate all of the configure files, I configured with
--enable-maintainer-mode, and built the 'all' target. I then did the
same thing on a source tree without this patch, and only committed
those files that changed when this patch was added.

This patch renames the .c source files in gdbsupport to .cc.
In the gdb directory, there is an argument against renaming the source
files, which is that it makes using some git commands more difficult to
do archeology. Some commands have some kind of "follow" option that
makes git try to follow renames, but it doesn't work in all situations.
Given that we have just moved the gdbsupport directory, that argument
doesn't hold for source files in that directory. I therefore suggest
renaming them to .cc, so that they are automatically recognized as C++
by various tools and editors.
The original motivation behind this is that when building gdbsupport
with clang, I get:
CC agent.o
clang: error: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this behavior is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated]
In the gdb/ directory, we make clang happy by passing "-x c++". We
could do this in gdbsupport too, but I think that renaming the files is
a better long-term solution.
gdbserver still does its own build of gdbsupport, so a few changes in
its Makefile are necessary.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.am: Rename source files from .c to .cc.
(CC, CFLAGS): Don't override.
