41/* A program space represents a symbolic view of an address space.
42 Roughly speaking, it holds all the data associated with a
43 non-running-yet program (main executable, main symbols), and when
44 an inferior is running and is bound to it, includes the list of its
45 mapped in shared libraries.
46
47 In the traditional debugging scenario, there's a 1-1 correspondence
48 among program spaces, inferiors and address spaces, like so:
49
50 pspace1 (prog1) <--> inf1(pid1) <--> aspace1
51
52 In the case of debugging more than one traditional unix process or
53 program, we still have:
54
55 |-----------------+------------+---------|
56 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
57 |----------------------------------------|
58 | pspace2 (prog1) | no inf yet | aspace2 |
59 |-----------------+------------+---------|
60 | pspace3 (prog2) | inf2(pid2) | aspace3 |
61 |-----------------+------------+---------|
62
63 In the former example, if inf1 forks (and GDB stays attached to
64 both processes), the new child will have its own program and
65 address spaces. Like so:
66
67 |-----------------+------------+---------|
68 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
69 |-----------------+------------+---------|
70 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
71 |-----------------+------------+---------|
72
73 However, had inf1 from the latter case vforked instead, it would
74 share the program and address spaces with its parent, until it
75 execs or exits, like so:
76
77 |-----------------+------------+---------|
78 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
79 | | inf2(pid2) | |
80 |-----------------+------------+---------|
81
82 When the vfork child execs, it is finally given new program and
83 address spaces.
84
85 |-----------------+------------+---------|
86 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
87 |-----------------+------------+---------|
88 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
89 |-----------------+------------+---------|
90
91 There are targets where the OS (if any) doesn't provide memory
92 management or VM protection, where all inferiors share the same
93 address space --- e.g. uClinux. GDB models this by having all
94 inferiors share the same address space, but, giving each its own
95 program space, like so:
96
97 |-----------------+------------+---------|
98 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | |
99 |-----------------+------------+ |
100 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace1 |
101 |-----------------+------------+ |
102 | pspace3 (prog2) | inf3(pid3) | |
103 |-----------------+------------+---------|
104
105 The address space sharing matters for run control and breakpoints
106 management. E.g., did we just hit a known breakpoint that we need
107 to step over? Is this breakpoint a duplicate of this other one, or
108 do I need to insert a trap?
109
110 Then, there are targets where all symbols look the same for all
111 inferiors, although each has its own address space, as e.g.,
112 Ericsson DICOS. In such case, the model is:
113
114 |---------+------------+---------|
115 | | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
116 | +------------+---------|
117 | pspace | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
118 | +------------+---------|
119 | | inf3(pid3) | aspace3 |
120 |---------+------------+---------|
121
122 Note however, that the DICOS debug API takes care of making GDB
123 believe that breakpoints are "global". That is, although each
124 process does have its own private copy of data symbols (just like a
125 bunch of forks), to the breakpoints module, all processes share a
126 single address space, so all breakpoints set at the same address
127 are duplicates of each other, even breakpoints set in the data
128 space (e.g., call dummy breakpoints placed on stack). This allows
129 a simplification in the spaces implementation: we avoid caring for
130 a many-many links between address and program spaces. Either
131 there's a single address space bound to the program space
132 (traditional unix/uClinux), or, in the DICOS case, the address
133 space bound to the program space is mostly ignored. */
