gdb/17394: cannot put breakpoint only in selected ASM file.
This patch fixes a problem when trying to insert a breakpoint on
a specific symbol defined in a specific file, eg:
break foo.c:func
This currently works for files in C/C++/Ada, etc, but doesn't always
work for Asm files. Analysis of the problem showed that this related
to a limitation in gas, which does not generate debug info for functions/
symbols. Thus, we have a symtab for the file ("info sources" shows
the file), but it contains no symbols.
When find_linespec_symbols is called in linespec_parse_basic, it calls
find_function_symbols, which uses add_matching_symbols_to_info to
collect all matching symbols.
That function does [pardon any mangled formatting]:
for (ix = 0; VEC_iterate (symtab_ptr, info->file_symtabs, ix, elt); ++ix)
{
if (elt == NULL)
{
iterate_over_all_matching_symtabs (info->state, name, VAR_DOMAIN,
collect_symbols, info,
pspace, 1);
search_minsyms_for_name (info, name, pspace);
}
else if (pspace == NULL || pspace == SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt))
{
/* Program spaces that are executing startup should have
been filtered out earlier. */
gdb_assert (!SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt)->executing_startup);
set_current_program_space (SYMTAB_PSPACE (elt));
iterate_over_file_blocks (elt, name, VAR_DOMAIN,
collect_symbols, info);
}
}
This iterates over the symtabs. In the failing use case, ELT is
non-NULL (points to the symtab for the .s file), so it calls
iterate_over_file_blocks. Herein is where the problem exists: it is
assumed that if NAME exists, it must exist in the given symtab -- a
reasonable assumption for "normal" (non-asm) cases. It never searches
minimal symbols (or in the global default symtab).
This patch fixes the problem by doing so. It is important to note that
iterating over minsyms is fairly expensive, so this patch only adds
that extra search if the language is language_asm and
iterate_over_file_blocks returns no symbols.

MIPS: Provide FPU info and decode FCSR in `info float'
This patch is the V2. V1 can be found in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00938.html
V2 is to address Joel's comment
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-06/msg00289.html> about
keeping dumping floating point registers. Additionally, command
'info float' prints bits on nan2008 and abs2008.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The change below provides a MIPS-specific handler for the:
(gdb) info float
command. It provides information about the FPU type available (if any),
the FPU register width, and decodes the CP1 Floating Point Control and
Status Register (FCSR):
(gdb) print /x $fsr
$1 = 0xff83ffff
(gdb) info float
fpu type: double-precision
reg size: 32 bits
cond : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
cause : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval unimp
mask : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
flags : inexact uflow oflow div0 inval
rounding: -inf
flush : zero
One point to note about CP1.FCSR are the non-standard Flush-to-Nearest
and Flush-Override bits. They are not a part of the MIPS architecture and
take two positions reserved for an implementation-dependent use in the
architecture. They are present in all the FPU implementations made by
MIPS Technologies since the spin-off from SGI.
I haven't been able to track down a single other MIPS FPU implementation
that would make any use of these bits and they are required to be
hardwired to zero by the architecture specification if unimplemented.
Therefore I think it makes sense to report them in the current way.
GDB has no guaranteed access to the CP0 Processor Identification (PRId)
register to validate this feature properly and the ID information stored
in the CP1 Floating Point Implementation Register (FIR) is from my
experience not reliable enough (there's no Company ID available there for
once unlike in CP0.PRId and Processor ID is not guaranteed to be unique).
As a side note we should probably dump CP1.FIR information as well, as
there's useful stuff indicating some FPU features there. That's material
for another change however.

[Linux] Ask kernel to kill inferior when GDB terminates
This patch enhances GDB on GNU/Linux systems in the situation where
we are debugging an inferior that was created from GDB (as opposed
to attached to), by asking the kernel to kill the inferior if GDB
terminates without doing it itself.
This would typically happen when GDB encounters a problem and
crashes, or when it gets killed by an external process. This can
be observed by starting a program under GDB, and then killing
GDB with signal 9. After GDB is killed, the inferior still remains.
This patch also fixes GDBserver similarly.
This fix is conditional on the kernel supporting the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL
feature. On older kernels, the behavior remains unchanged.

testsuite: expect possible pagination when starting gdb
When gdb starts, the lines that appear before the first prompt may get
paginated if the terminal in which the tests are ran is too small (in
terms of rows). These lines include the welcome/license message and
possibly more, such as "Reading symbols from...". Pagination is disabled
right after gdb is started (with "set height 0"), but this output happens
before we are able to set height.
If these lines get paginated, gdb waits for the user to press enter and
the test harness waits for gdb to print its prompt, resulting in a
deadlock.
My first idea was to launch gdb with --quiet. However, some lines are
still printed ("Reading symbols from...", some more stuff when attaching
with --pid, etc).
The proposed solution simply expects that pagination can occur after
starting gdb. If this is the case, it sends a "\n" and loops.

* lib/gdb.exp (default_gdb_start): After starting gdb, loop
as long as we get pagination notifications.

The parameter that changed is the prompt text.
This commits adjust gdb accordingly by making the prompt_arg parameter
const, as well as the fallouts of that. I needed to rework how
annotations are added to the prompt, since the it is now const. If
annotations are enabled, it will make a copy of the prompt overwrite the
prompt variable that is used throughout the function. Otherwise, no copy
is done and the original prompt_arg value is passed.

python extended prompt: Use os.getcwd() instead of os.getcwdu()

For Python 2, this returns a 'unicode' object, which tries to get concatenated
to a 'str' object in substitute_prompt. The implicit conversion works when the
unicode string contains no accent. When it does contain an accent though,
displaying the prompt results in the following error:

What happens is that GDB keeps sending requests to resume one specific

Things break down when the one of the other threads receives a debug

This patch fixes the problem by making sure that only one thread

an unexpected event.

Internal error trying to print uninitialized string.
Trying to print the value of a string whose size is not known at
compile-time before it gets assigned a value can lead to the following
internal error:
(gdb) p my_str
$1 =
/[...]/utils.c:1089: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
What happens is that my_str is described as a reference to an array
type whose bounds are dynamic. During the read of that variable's
value (in default_read_var_value), we end up resolving dynamic types
which, for reference types, makes us also resolve the target of that
reference type. This means we resolve our variable to a reference
to an array whose bounds are undefined, and unfortunately very far
appart.
So, when we pass that value to ada-valprint, and in particular to
da_val_print_ref, we eventually try to allocate too large of a buffer
corresponding to the (bogus) size of our array, hence the internal
error.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a size_check before trying
to print the dereferenced value. To perform this check, a function
that was previously specific to ada-lang.c (check_size) gets
exported, and renamed to something less prone to name collisions
(ada_ensure_varsize_limit).

configure gdb/gnulib with --disable-largefile if largefile support disabled.
This patch mostly aims at fixing a GDB build failure on 32bit Solaris
systems (Sparc and x86), due to a recent gnulib update adding the
readlink module. But it might also fix related issues when configuring
with --disable-largefile.
A side-effect of the gnulib readlink module addition is that it caused
largefile support to be added as well, and in particular
gnulib/import/m4/largefile.m4 introduced the following new #define in
gnulib's config.in:
| +/* Number of bits in a file offset, on hosts where this is settable. */
| +#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
When defined to 64, it triggers an issue with procfs.h while trying
to build sparc-sol2-nat.c:
| #if !defined(_LP64) && _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
| #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
| #endif
As it turns out, this is a fairly familiar problem, and one of
the reasons behind ACX_LARGEFILE having been created. In that macro,
we have some code which disables largefile support on solaris hosts:
| sparc-*-solaris*|i[3-7]86-*-solaris*)
| changequote([,])dnl
| # On native 32bit sparc and ia32 solaris, large-file and procfs support
| # are mutually exclusive; and without procfs support, the bfd/ elf module
| # cannot provide certain routines such as elfcore_write_prpsinfo
| # or elfcore_write_prstatus. So unless the user explicitly requested
| # large-file support through the --enable-largefile switch, disable
| # large-file support in favor of procfs support.
| test "${target}" = "${host}" -a "x$plugins" = xno \
| && : ${enable_largefile="no"}
| ;;
But gnulib ignores this fact, and so tries to determine how to
enable large-file support irrespective of whether we want it or not.
This patch fixes the issue by passing --disable-largefile to gnulib's
configure when large-file support in GDB is disabled. This is done
by first enhancing ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR to allow us to pass extra
arguments to be passed to the configure command, and then by modifying
GDB's configure to pass --disable-largefile if large-file support
is disabled.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* acx_configure_dir.m4 (ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR): Add support for
new "EXTRA-ARGS" parameter.
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDB,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: If large-file support is disabled in GDBserver,
pass --disable-largefile to ACX_CONFIGURE_DIR call for "gnulib".
* configure: Regenerate.
Tested by rebuilding on sparc-solaris and x86_64-linux (with gdbserver).
This fixes the build failure on sparc-solaris. I also verified in
gnulib's config.log file that we pass --disable-largefile in the solaris
case, while we do not in the GNU/Linux case.

Lift DWARF unwinder restriction in dwarf2-frame.c::dwarf2_frame_cfa
GDB is currently broken on all SPARC targets when using GCC 4.9.
When trying to print any local variable:
(gdb) p x
can't compute CFA for this frame
This is related to the fact that the compiler now generates DWARF 4
debugging info by default, and in particular that it now emits
DW_OP_call_frame_cfa, which triggers a limitation in dwarf2_frame_cfa:
/* This restriction could be lifted if other unwinders are known to
compute the frame base in a way compatible with the DWARF
unwinder. */
if (!frame_unwinder_is (this_frame, &dwarf2_frame_unwind)
&& !frame_unwinder_is (this_frame, &dwarf2_tailcall_frame_unwind))
error (_("can't compute CFA for this frame"));
We couldn't append the dwarf2 unwinder to all SPARC targets because
it does not work properly with StackGhost:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00012.html
We also later discovered that using the DWARF2 unwinder means
using it for computing the function's return address, which
is buggy when it comes to functions returning a struct (where
the return address is saved-pc+12 instead of saved-pc+8).
This is because GCC is emitting the info about the return address
as %o7/%i7 instead of the actual return address. For functions
that have debugging info, we compensate by looking at the function's
return type and add the extra +4, but for function without debug
info, we're stuck.
EricB and I twisted the issue in all the directions we could think of,
and unfortunately couldn't find a way to make it work without
introduction one regression or another.
But, stepping back a little, just removing the restriction seems to work
well for us on all both sparc-elf and {sparc,sparc64}-solaris.
After reviewing the previous discussions about this test, I could
not figure out whether some unwinders were already known to have
incompatible CFAs or if the concern was purely theoretical:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-06/msg00191.html

the "compile" command
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.
A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc. Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.
gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.
This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.
In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function. After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.
Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function. Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.
This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

add gnu_triplet_regexp gdbarch method
gdb has to inform libcc1.so of the target being used, so that the

In order for this to work we need to map the gdbarch to the GNU
configury triplet arch. In most cases these are identical; however,
the x86 family poses some problems, as the BFD arch names are quite
different from the GNU triplet names. So, we introduce a new gdbarch
method for this. A regular expression is used because there are
various valid values for the arch prefix in the triplet.

add gcc/gdb interface files
The gcc plugin is split into two parts. One part is an ordinary gcc
plugin. The other part is a shared library that is loaded by gdb.
This patch adds some files that define the interface exported by this
shared library to gdb. These files also define the internal API by
which the gdb- and gcc-sides communicate.
These files will be kept in sync between gcc and gdb like much of
include/.
The exported API has been intentionally kept very simple. In
particular only a single function is exported from the gdb-side
library; symbol visibility is used to hide everything else. This
exported symbol is a function which is called to return a structure
holding function pointers that gdb then uses. This structure is
versioned so that changes can be made without necessarily requiring a
simultaneous gdb upgrade.
Note that the C compiler API is broken out separately. This lets us
extend it to other GCC front ends as desired. We plan to investigate
C++ in the future.

MIPS: Keep the ISA bit in compressed code addresses
1. Background information
The MIPS architecture, as originally designed and implemented in
mid-1980s has a uniform instruction word size that is 4 bytes, naturally
aligned. As such all MIPS instructions are located at addresses that
have their bits #1 and #0 set to zeroes, and any attempt to execute an
instruction from an address that has any of the two bits set to one
causes an address error exception. This may for example happen when a
jump-register instruction is executed whose register value used as the
jump target has any of these bits set.
Then in mid 1990s LSI sought a way to improve code density for their
TinyRISC family of MIPS cores and invented an alternatively encoded
instruction set in a joint effort with MIPS Technologies (then a
subsidiary of SGI). The new instruction set has been named the MIPS16
ASE (Application-Specific Extension) and uses a variable instruction
word size, which is 2 bytes (as the name of the ASE suggests) for most,
but there are a couple of exceptions that take 4 bytes, and then most of
the 2-byte instructions can be treated with a 2-byte extension prefix to
expand the range of the immediate operands used.
As a result instructions are no longer 4-byte aligned, instead they are
aligned to a multiple of 2. That left the bit #0 still unused for code
references, be it for the standard MIPS (i.e. as originally invented) or
for the MIPS16 instruction set, and based on that observation a clever
trick was invented that on one hand allowed the processor to be
seamlessly switched between the two instruction sets at any time at the
run time while on the other avoided the introduction of any special
control register to do that.
So it is the bit #0 of the instruction address that was chosen as the
selector and named the ISA bit. Any instruction executed at an even
address is interpreted as a standard MIPS instruction (the address still
has to have its bit #1 clear), any instruction executed at an odd
address is interpreted as a MIPS16 instruction.
To switch between modes ordinary jump instructions are used, such as
used for function calls and returns, specifically the bit #0 of the
source register used in jump-register instructions selects the execution
(ISA) mode for the following piece of code to be interpreted in.
Additionally new jump-immediate instructions were added that flipped the
ISA bit to select the opposite mode upon execution. They were
considered necessary to avoid the need to make register jumps in all
cases as the original jump-immediate instructions provided no way to
change the bit #0 at all.
This was all important for cases where standard MIPS and MIPS16 code had
to be mixed, either for compatibility with the existing binary code base
or to access resources not reachable from MIPS16 code (the MIPS16
instruction set only provides access to general-purpose registers, and
not for example floating-point unit registers or privileged coprocessor
0 registers) -- pieces of code in the opposite mode can be executed as
ordinary subroutine calls.
A similar approach has been more recently adopted for the MIPS16
replacement instruction set defined as the so called microMIPS ASE.
This is another instruction set encoding introduced to the MIPS
architecture. Just like the MIPS16 ASE, the microMIPS instruction set
uses a variable-length encoding, where each instruction takes a multiple
of 2 bytes. The ISA bit has been reused and for microMIPS-capable
processors selects between the standard MIPS and the microMIPS mode
instead.
2. Statement of the problem
To put it shortly, MIPS16 and microMIPS code pointers used by GDB are
different to these observed at the run time. This results in the same
expressions being evaluated producing different results in GDB and in
the program being debugged. Obviously it's the results obtained at the
run time that are correct (they define how the program behaves) and
therefore by definition the results obtained in GDB are incorrect.
A bit longer description will record that obviously at the run time the
ISA bit has to be set correctly (refer to background information above
if unsure why so) or the program will not run as expected. This is
recorded in all the executable file structures used at the run time: the
dynamic symbol table (but not always the static one!), the GOT, and
obviously in all the addresses embedded in code or data of the program
itself, calculated by applying the appropriate relocations at the static
link time.
While a program is being processed by GDB, the ISA bit is stripped off
from any code addresses, presumably to make them the same as the
respective raw memory byte address used by the processor to access the
instruction in the instruction fetch access cycle. This stripping is
actually performed outside GDB proper, in BFD, specifically
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing (elfxx-mips.c, see the piece of code at
the very bottom of that function, starting with an: "If this is an
odd-valued function symbol, assume it's a MIPS16 or microMIPS one."
comment).
This function is also responsible for symbol table dumps made by
`objdump' too, so you'll never see the ISA bit reported there by that
tool, you need to use `readelf'.
This is however unlike what is ever done at the run time, the ISA bit
once present is never stripped off, for example a cast like this:
(short *) main
will not strip the ISA bit off and if the resulting pointer is intended
to be used to access instructions as data, for example for software
instruction decoding (like for fault recovery or emulation in a signal
handler) or for self-modifying code then the bit still has to be
stripped off by an explicit AND operation.
This is probably best illustrated with a simple real program example.
Let's consider the following simple program:
$ cat foobar.c
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) foo (void)
{
return 1;
}
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) bar (void)
{
return 2;
}
int __attribute__ ((nomips16)) foo32 (void)
{
return 3;
}
int (*foo32p) (void) = foo32;
int (*foop) (void) = foo;
int fooi = (int) foo;
int
main (void)
{
return foop ();
}
$
This is plain C with no odd tricks, except from the instruction mode
attributes. They are not necessary to trigger this problem, I just put
them here so that the program can be contained in a single source file
and to make it obvious which function is MIPS16 code and which is not.
Let's try it with Linux, so that everyone can repeat this experiment:
$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -g -O2 -o foobar foobar.c
$
Let's have a look at some interesting symbols:
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
55:
00000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS foobar.c
66:
0040068c 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 bar
68:
00410848 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 foo32p
70:

80:
00400680 4 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16] 12 foo
88:
00410840 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 21 fooi
$
Hmm, no sight of the ISA bit, but notice how foo and bar (but not
foo32!) have been marked as MIPS16 functions (ELF symbol structure's
`st_other' field is used for that).
So let's try to run and poke at this program with GDB. I'll be using a
native system for simplicity (I'll be using ellipses here and there to
remove unrelated clutter):
$ ./foobar
$ echo $?

$

-- a-ha, the ISA bit is there! However it's not always right for some
reason, I don't have a small test case to show it, but here's an excerpt
from MIPS16 libc, a prologue of a function:

19632: 6500 nop

and the corresponding DWARF-2 line info:

-- see that "Advance PC by constant 17" there? It clears the ISA bit,
however code at 0x19646 is not standard MIPS code at all. For some
reason the constant is always 17, I've never seen DW_LNS_const_add_pc
used with any other value -- is that a binutils bug or what?
3. Solution:
I think we should retain the value of the ISA bit in code references,
that is effectively treat them as cookies as they indeed are (although
trivially calculated) rather than raw memory byte addresses.
In a perfect world both the static symbol table and the respective
DWARF-2 records should be fixed to include the ISA bit in all the cases.
I think however that this is infeasible.
All the uses of `_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing' can not necessarily be
tracked down. This function is used by `elf_slurp_symbol_table' that in
turn is used by `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' and
`bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab', which are public interfaces.
Similarly DWARF-2 records are used outside GDB, one notable if a bit
questionable is the exception unwinder (libgcc/unwind-dw2.c) -- I have
identified at least bits in `execute_cfa_program' and
`uw_frame_state_for', both around the calls to `_Unwind_IsSignalFrame',
that would need an update as they effectively flip the ISA bit freely;
see also the comment about MASK_RETURN_ADDR in gcc/config/mips/mips.h.
But there may be more places. Any change in how DWARF-2 records are
produced would require an update there and would cause compatibility
problems with libgcc.a binaries already distributed; given that this is
a static library a complex change involving function renames would
likely be required.
I propose therefore to accept the existing inconsistencies and deal with
them entirely within GDB. I have figured out that the ISA bit lost in
various places can still be recovered as long as we have symbol
information -- that'll have the `st_other' attribute correctly set to
one of standard MIPS/MIPS16/microMIPS encoding.
Here's the resulting change. It adds a couple of new `gdbarch' hooks,
one to update symbol information with the ISA bit lost in
`_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing', and two other ones to adjust DWARF-2
records as they're processed. The ISA bit is set in each address
handled according to information retrieved from the symbol table for the
symbol spanning the address if any; limits are adjusted based on the
address they point to related to the respective base address.
Additionally minimal symbol information has to be adjusted accordingly
in its gdbarch hook.
With these changes in place some complications with ISA bit juggling in
the PC that never fully worked can be removed from the MIPS backend.
Conversely, the generic dynamic linker event special breakpoint symbol
handler has to be updated to call the minimal symbol gdbarch hook to
record that the symbol is a MIPS16 or microMIPS address if applicable or
the breakpoint will be set at the wrong address and either fail to work
or cause SIGTRAPs (this is because the symbol is handled early on and
bypasses regular symbol processing).
4. Results obtained
The change fixes the example above -- to repeat only the crucial steps:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar
Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23 return foop ();
(gdb) print foo
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9 }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068d <+0>: jr ra
0x0040068f <+2>: li v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 bar () at foobar.c:9
main () at foobar.c:24
24 }
Value returned is $2 = 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14128) exited with code 02]
(gdb)
-- excellent!
The change removes about 90 failures per MIPS16 multilib in mips-sde-elf
testing too, results for MIPS16 are now similar to that for standard
MIPS; microMIPS results are a bit worse because of host-I/O problems in
QEMU used instead of MIPSsim for microMIPS testing only:
