Hey. I recently installed devkitPro devkitARM again and arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe won't let me use the
backspace key. Can this be fixed? Where can I find a new version?

You don't install devkitPro. We are an organisation who provide and maintain tools and libraries to support homebrew programmers in writing software for a variety of game consoles.

The latest build of arm-none-eabi-gdb has the tui enabled. It looks like there's some oddness running this build from a cmd shell - it seems to work fine when started from msys bash shell or when enabling the tui using --tui

I'll have a look and see if I can see what the issue is but hopefully those options will help in the meantime.

Oh, well I just got confused since I got it by running a program from http://github.com/devkitPro/installer.
You must understand that it could be confusing? I'll try the --tui thing, though. Thanks! :P

The solib_create_inferior_hook call in symbol_file_command was added by
commit ea142fb ("Fix breakpoints on file reloads for PIE
binaries").  It causes solib_create_inferior_hook to be called while
the inferior is not running, which darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook
does not expect.  darwin_solib_get_all_image_info_addr_at_init, in
particular, assumes that there is a current thread, as it tries to get
the current thread's regcache.

Fix it by adding a target_has_execution check and returning early.  Note
that there is a similar check in svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* solib-darwin.c (darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook): Return
	early if no execution.

So frame #28 already detached the remote process, and then we're
purging the shared libraries.  GDB had opened remote shared libraries
via the target: sysroot, so it tries closing them.  GDBserver is
tearing down already, so remote communication breaks down and we close
the remote target and throw TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR.

Note frame #14:

 #14 0x0000555555ae4730 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x555556515540, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:573

That's a dtor, thus noexcept.  That's the reason for the
std::terminate.

Stepping back a bit, why do we still have open remote files if we've
managed to detach already, and, we're debugging with "target remote"?
The reason is that commit 408f668
makes detach_command hold a reference to the target, so the remote
target won't be finally closed until frame #28 returns.  It's closing
the target that invalidates target file I/O handles.

This commit fixes the issue by not relying on target_close to
invalidate the target file I/O handles, instead invalidate them
immediately in remote_unpush_target.  So when GDB purges the solibs,
and we end up in target_fileio_close (frame bminor#7 above), there's nothing
to do, and we don't try to talk with the remote target anymore.

The regression isn't seen when testing with
--target_board=native-gdbserver, because that does "set sysroot" to
disable the "target:" sysroot, for test run speed reasons.  So this
commit adds a testcase that explicitly tests detach with "set sysroot
target:".

That's a dtor, thus noexcept.  That's the reason for the
std::terminate.

The previous patch fixed things such that the exception above isn't
thrown anymore.  However, it's possible that e.g., the remote
connection drops just while a user types "nosharedlibrary", or some
other reason that leads to objfile::~objfile, and then we end up the
same std::terminate problem.

Also notice that frames bminor#9-bminor#11 are BFD frames:

 bminor#9  0x0000555555e09e3f in opncls_bclose (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:599

 bminor#11 0x0000555555e0a27a in bfd_close (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:814

BFD is written in C and thus throwing exceptions over such frames may
either not clean up properly, or, may abort if bfd is not compiled
with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables (x86-64 defaults that on, but not
all GCC ports do).

Thus frame bminor#8 seems like a good place to swallow exceptions.  More so
since in this spot we already ignore target_fileio_close return
errors.  That's what this commit does.  Without the previous fix, we'd
see:

 (gdb) detach

Note it prints a warning, which would still be a regression compared
to GDB 10, if it weren't for the previous fix.

When the architecture supports memory tagging, we handle
pointer/reference types in a special way, so we can validate tags and
show mismatches.

Unfortunately, the currently implementation errors out when the user
prints non-address values: composite types, floats, references, member
functions and other things.

Vector registers:

 (gdb) p $v0
 Value can't be converted to integer.

Non-existent internal variables:

 (gdb) p $foo
 Value can't be converted to integer.

The same happens for complex types and printing struct/union types.

There are a few problems here.

The first one is that after print_command_1 evaluates the expression
to print, the tag validation code call value_as_address
unconditionally, without making sure we have have a suitable type
where it makes to sense to call it.  That results in value_as_address
(if it isn't given a pointer-like type) trying to treat the value as
an integer and convert it to an address, which #1 - doesn't make sense
(i.e., no sense in validating tags after "print 1"), and throws for
non-integer-convertible types.  We fix this by making sure we have a
pointer or reference type first, and only if so then proceed to check
if the address-like value has tags.

The second is that we're calling value_as_address even if we have an
optimized out or unavailable value, which throws, because the value's
contents aren't fully accessible/readable.  This error currently
escapes out and aborts the print.  This case is fixed by checking for
optimized out / unavailable explicitly.

Third, the tag checking process does not gracefully handle exceptions.
If any exception is thrown from the tag validation code, we abort the
print.  E.g., the target may fail to access tags via a running thread.
Or the needed /proc files aren't available.  Or some other untold
reason.  This is a bit too rigid.  This commit changes print_command_1
to catch errors, print them, and still continue with the normal
expression printing path instead of erroring out and printing nothing
useful.

With this patch, printing works correctly again:

 (gdb) p $v0

   psymtab, but not in symtab.)

) from repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
...

The warning is about the following:
- in find_pc_sect_compunit_symtab we try to find the address
  (0x7ff8feb2c218 / 0x7ff8feb2c21d) in the symtabs.
- that fails, so we try again in the partial symtabs.
- we find a matching partial symtab
- however, the partial symtab has a full symtab, so
  we should have found a matching symtab in the first step.

The addresses are:
...
(gdb) info sym 0x7ff8feb2c218
__gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() const [clone .cold] in \
  section .text of repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

__gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() const [clone .cold] + 5 in \
  section .text of repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
...
which correspond to unrelocated addresses 0x9c218 and 0x9c21d:
...
$ nm -C  repro/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.29 | grep 000000000009c218
000000000009c218 t __gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() const \
  [clone .cold]
...
which belong to function __gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error() in
/build/gcc/src/gcc/libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/debug.cc.

The partial symtab that is found for the addresses is instead the one for
/build/gcc/src/gcc/libstdc++-v3/src/c++98/bitmap_allocator.cc, which is
incorrect.

This happens as follows.

The bitmap_allocator.cc CU has DW_AT_ranges at .debug_rnglist offset 0x4b50:
...
    00004b50 0000000000000000 0000000000000056
    00004b5a 00000000000a4790 00000000000a479c
    00004b64 00000000000a47a0 00000000000a47ac
...

When reading the first range 0x0..0x56, it doesn't trigger the "start address
of zero" complaint here:
...
      /* A not-uncommon case of bad debug info.
         Don't pollute the addrmap with bad data.  */
      if (range_beginning + baseaddr == 0
          && !per_objfile->per_bfd->has_section_at_zero)
        {
          complaint (_(".debug_rnglists entry has start address of zero"
                       " [in module %s]"), objfile_name (objfile));
          continue;
        }
...
because baseaddr != 0, which seems incorrect given that when loading the
shared library individually in gdb (and consequently baseaddr == 0), we do see
the complaint.

Consequently, we run into this case in dwarf2_get_pc_bounds:
...
  if (low == 0 && !per_objfile->per_bfd->has_section_at_zero)
    return PC_BOUNDS_INVALID;
...
which then results in this code in process_psymtab_comp_unit_reader being
called with cu_bounds_kind == PC_BOUNDS_INVALID, which sets the set_addrmap
argument to 1:
...
      scan_partial_symbols (first_die, &lowpc, &highpc,
                            cu_bounds_kind <= PC_BOUNDS_INVALID, cu);
...
and consequently, the CU addrmap gets build using address info from the
functions.

During that process, addrmap_set_empty is called with a range that includes
0x9c218 and 0x9c21d:
...
(gdb) p /x start
$7 = 0x9989c
(gdb) p /x end_inclusive
$8 = 0xb200d
...
but it's called for a function at DIE 0x54153 with DW_AT_ranges at 0x40ae:
...
    000040ae 00000000000b1ee0 00000000000b200e
    000040b9 000000000009989c 00000000000998c4
    000040c3 <End of list>
...
and neither range includes 0x9c218 and 0x9c21d.

This is caused by this code in partial_die_info::read:
...
            if (dwarf2_ranges_read (ranges_offset, &lowpc, &highpc, cu,
                                    nullptr, tag))
             has_pc_info = 1;
...
which pretends that the function is located at addresses 0x9989c..0xb200d,
which is indeed not the case.

This patch fixes the first problem encountered: fix the "start address of
zero" complaint warning by removing the baseaddr part from the condition.
Same for dwarf2_ranges_process.

The effect is that:
- the complaint is triggered, and
- the warning / Internal error is no longer triggered.

This does not fix the observed problem in partial_die_info::read, which is
filed as PR28200.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

…ync."

Commit 14b3360 ("do_target_wait_1: Clear
TARGET_WNOHANG if the target isn't async.") broke some multi-target
tests, such as gdb.multi/multi-target-info-inferiors.exp.  The symptom
is that execution just hangs at some point.  What happens is:

1. One remote inferior is started, and now sits stopped at a breakpoint.
   It is not "async" at this point (but it "can async").

2. We run a native inferior, the event loop gets woken up by the native
   target's fd.

3. In do_target_wait, we randomly choose an inferior to call target_wait
   on first, it happens to be the remote inferior.

4. Because the target is currently not "async", we clear
   TARGET_WNOHANG, resulting in synchronous wait.  We therefore block
   here:

Before the aforementioned commit, we would not have cleared
TARGET_WNOHANG, the remote target's wait would have returned nothing,
and we would have consumed the native target's event.

After applying this revert, the testsuite state looks as good as before
for me on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64.

WinterMute pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 21, 2022
The current zombie leader detection code in linux-nat.c has a race --
if a multi-threaded inferior exits just before check_zombie_leaders
finds that the leader is now zombie via checking /proc/PID/status,
check_zombie_leaders deletes the leader, assuming we won't get an
event for that exit (which we won't in some scenarios, but not in this
one).  That might seem mostly harmless, but it has some downsides:

 - later when we continue pulling events out of the kernel, we will
   collect the exit event of the non-leader threads, and once we see
   the last lwp in our list exit, we return _that_ lwp's exit code as
   whole-process exit code to infrun, instead of the leader's exit
   code.

 - this can cause a hang in stop_all_threads in infrun.c.  Say there
   are 2 threads in the process.  stop_all_threads stops each of those
   threads, and then waits for two stop or exit events, one for each
   thread.  If the whole process exits, and check_zombie_leaders hits
   the false-positive case, linux-nat.c will only return one event to
   GDB (the whole-process exit returned when we see the last thread,
   the non-leader thread, exit), making stop_all_threads hang forever
   waiting for a second event that will never come.

However, in this false-positive scenario, where the whole process is
exiting, as opposed to just the leader (with pthread_exit(), for
example), we _will_ get an exit event shortly for the leader, after we
collect the exit event of all the other non-leader threads.  Or put
another way, we _always_ get an event for the leader after we see it
become zombie.

I tried a number of approaches to fix this:

#1 - My first thought to address the race was to make GDB always
report the whole-process exit status for the leader thread, not for
whatever is the last lwp in the list.  We _always_ get a final exit
(or exec) event for the leader, and when the race triggers, we're not
collecting it.

#2 - My second thought was to try to plug the race in the first place.

I thought of making GDB call waitpid/WNOHANG for all non-leader
threads immediately when the zombie leader is detected, assuming there
would be an exit event pending for each of them waiting to be
collected.  Turns out that that doesn't work -- you can see the leader
become zombie _before_ the kernel kills all other threads.  Waitpid in
that small time window returns 0, indicating no-event.  Thankfully we
hit that race window all the time, which avoided trading one race for
another.  Looking at the non-leader thread's status in /proc doesn't
help either, the threads are still in running state for a bit, for the
same reason.

bminor#3 - My next attempt, which seemed promising, was to synchronously
stop and wait for the stop for each of the non-leader threads.  For
the scenario in question, this will collect all the exit statuses of
the non-leader threads.  Then, if we are left with only the zombie
leader in the lwp list, it means we either have a normal while-process
exit or an exec, in which case we should not delete the leader.  If
_only_ the leader exited, like in gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp, then
after pausing threads, we will still have at least one live non-leader
thread in the list, and so we delete the leader lwp.  I got this
working and polished, and it was only after staring at the kernel code
to convince myself that this would really work (and it would, for the
scenario I considered), that I realized I had failed to account for
one scenario -- if any non-leader thread is _already_ stopped when
some thread triggers a group exit, like e.g., if you have some threads
stopped and then resume just one thread with scheduler-locking or
non-stop, and that thread exits the process.  I also played with
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, see if it would help in any way to plug the race,
and I couldn't find a way that it would result in any practical
difference compared to looking at /proc/PID/status, with respect to
having a race.

So I concluded that there's no way to plug the race, we just have to
deal with it.  Which means, going back to approach #1.  That is the
approach taken by this patch.

…pported

When parsing the ptid out of a reply package, if the multi-process
extensions are not supported, use current_inferior's pid as the pid of
the reported thread, instead of inferior_ptid.  This is needed because
the inferior_ptid may be null_ptid although a legit context exists,
due to a prior context switch via switch_to_inferior_no_thread.

Below is a scenario that illustrates what could go wrong.  First,
setup a multi-target scenario.  This is needed, because in a
multi-target setting, the inferior_ptid is cleared out before waiting

After attaching to a process and reading some library files, GDB
seems to hang.  One interesting thing to note is that

  [New Thread 26253]

appears twice.  We also see

  [New inferior 3]

Running the same scenario with "debug infrun on" reveals more details.

GDB tried to stop Thread 42000.26253.0, which does not exist, and we
are waiting for a stop event that will never happen.  The PID in
'42000.26253.0', namely 42000, is the PID of magic_null_ptid.
It comes from gdb/remote.c:read_ptid:

  /* Since the stub is not sending a process id, then default to
     what's in inferior_ptid, unless it's null at this point.  If so,
     then since there's no way to know the pid of the reported
     threads, use the magic number.  */
  if (inferior_ptid == null_ptid)
    pid = magic_null_ptid.pid ();
  else
    pid = inferior_ptid.pid ();

  if (obuf)
    *obuf = pp;
  return ptid_t (pid, tid);

Because multi-process was turned off, GDB did not parse an explicitly
specified PID.  Furthermore, inferior_ptid == null_ptid, and
eventually GDB picked the PID from magic_null_ptid.

If target-non-stop is not turned on at the beginning, the same bug
reveals itself as a duplicated thread as shown below.

Fix the problem by preferring current_inferior()'s pid instead of
magic_null_ptid.

Regression-tested on X86-64 Linux.

I see some failures, at least in gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp and
gdb.threads/interrupted-hand-call.exp.  Running `stress -C $(nproc)` at
the same time as the test makes those tests relatively frequent.

Let's take gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp as an example.  The failure looks
like this, an unexpected "no resumed":

    continue
    Continuing.
    No unwaited-for children left.
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-re-run.exp: re_run_inf=2: iter=1: continue until exit

The situation is:

 - Inferior 1 is stopped somewhere, it won't really play a role here.
 - Inferior 2 has 2 threads, both stopped.
 - We resume inferior 2, the leader thread is expected to exit, making
   the process exit.

From GDB's perspective, a failing run looks like this:

We can see that we resume the inferior with vCont;c, but got NO_RESUMED.
When the test passes, we get an EXITED status to indicate the process

What happens is:

 - We resume the leader (713935) successfully.
 - The leader exits.
 - We resume the secondary thread (713936), we get ESRCH.  This is
   expected this the leader has exited.
 - resume_one_lwp_throw throws, it's caught by resume_one_lwp.
 - resume_one_lwp checks with check_ptrace_stopped_lwp_gone that the
   failure can be explained by the LWP becoming zombie, and swallows the
   error.
 - Note that this means that the secondary lwp still has stopped==1.
 - wait_1 is called, probably because linux_process_target::resume marks
   the async pipe at the end.
 - The exit event isn't ready yet, probably because the machine is under
   load, so waitpid returns nothing.
 - check_zombie_leaders detects that the leader is zombie and deletes
 - We try to find a resumed (non-stopped) LWP to get an event from,
   there's none since the leader (that was resumed) is now deleted, and
   the secondary thread is still marked stopped.
   wait_for_event_filtered returns -1, causing wait_1 to return
   NO_RESUMED.

What I notice here is that there is some kind of race between the
availability of the process' exit notification and the call to wait_1
that results from marking the async pipe at the end of resume.

I think what we want from this wait_1 invocation is to keep waiting, as
we will eventually get thread exit notifications for both of our
threads.

The fix I came up with is to mark the secondary thread as !stopped (or
resumed) when we fail to resume it.  This makes wait_1 see that there is
at least one resume lwp, so it won't return NO_RESUMED.  I think this
makes sense to consider it resumed, because we are going to receive an
exit event for it.  Here's the GDBserver logs with the fix applied:

Bug 28980 shows that trying to value_copy an entirely optimized out
value causes an internal error.  The original bug report involves MI and
some Python pretty printer, and is quite difficult to reproduce, but
another easy way to reproduce (that is believed to be equivalent) was
proposed:

    $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "py print(gdb.Value(gdb.Value(5).type.optimized_out()))"
    /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/value.c:1731: internal-error: value_copy: Assertion `arg->contents != nullptr' failed.

This is caused by 5f8ab46 ("gdb: constify parameter of
value_copy").  It added an assertion that the contents buffer is
allocated if the value is not lazy:

  if (!value_lazy (val))
    {
      gdb_assert (arg->contents != nullptr);

This was based on the comment on value::contents, which suggest that
this is the case:

  /* Actual contents of the value.  Target byte-order.  NULL or not
     valid if lazy is nonzero.  */
  gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<gdb_byte> contents;

However, it turns out that it can also be nullptr also if the value is
entirely optimized out, for example on exit of
allocate_optimized_out_value.  That function creates a lazy value, marks
the entire value as optimized out, and then clears the lazy flag.  But
contents remains nullptr.

This wasn't a problem for value_copy before, because it was calling
value_contents_all_raw on the input value, which caused contents to be
allocated before doing the copy.  This means that the input value to
value_copy did not have its contents allocated on entry, but had it
allocated on exit.  The result value had it allocated on exit.  And that
we copied bytes for an entirely optimized out value (i.e. meaningless
bytes).

From here I see two choices:

 1. respect the documented invariant that contents is nullptr only and
    only if the value is lazy, which means making
    allocate_optimized_out_value allocate contents
 2. extend the cases where contents can be nullptr to also include
    values that are entirely optimized out (note that you could still
    have some entirely optimized out values that do have contents
    allocated, it depends on how they were created) and adjust
    value_copy accordingly

Choice #1 is safe, but less efficient: it's not very useful to allocate
a buffer for an entirely optimized out value.  It's even a bit less
efficient than what we had initially, because values coming out of
allocate_optimized_out_value would now always get their contents
allocated.

Choice #2 would be more efficient than what we had before: giving an
optimized out value without allocated contents to value_copy would
result in an optimized out value without allocated contents (and the
input value would still be without allocated contents on exit).  But
it's more risky, since it's difficult to ensure that all users of the
contents (through the various_contents* accessors) are all fine with
that new invariant.

In this patch, I opt for choice #2, since I think it is a better
direction than choice #1.  #1 would be a pessimization, and if we go
this way, I doubt that it will ever be revisited, it will just stay that
way forever.

Add a selftest to test this.  I initially started to write it as a
Python test (since the reproducer is in Python), but a selftest is more
straightforward.

While working on a different patch, I triggered an assertion from the
initialize_current_architecture code, specifically from one of
the *_gdbarch_init functions in a *-tdep.c file.  This exposes a
couple of issues with GDB.

This is easy enough to reproduce by adding 'gdb_assert (false)' into a
suitable function.  For example, I added a line into i386_gdbarch_init
and can see the following issue.

I start GDB and immediately hit the assert, the output is as you'd
expect, except for the very last line:

  $ ./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory/
  ../../src.dev-1/gdb/i386-tdep.c:8455: internal-error: i386_gdbarch_init: Assertion `false' failed.

  Quit this debugging session? (y or n) ../../src.dev-1/gdb/ser-event.c:212:16: runtime error: member access within null pointer of type 'struct serial'

Something goes wrong when we try to query the user.  Note, I
configured GDB with --enable-ubsan, I suspect that without this the
above "error" would actually just be a crash.

  (More stack frames follow...)

It turns out that the problem is that the async event handler
mechanism has been invoked, but this has not yet been initialized.

If we look at gdb_init (in gdb/top.c) we can indeed see the call to
gdb_init_signals is after the call to initialize_current_architecture.

If I reorder the calls, moving gdb_init_signals earlier, then the
initial error is resolved, however, things are still broken.  I now
see the same "Quit this debugging session? (y or n)" prompt, but when
I provide an answer and press return GDB immediately crashes.

So what's going on now?  The next problem is that the call_readline
field within the current_ui structure is not initialized, and this
callback is invoked to process the reply I entered.

The problem is that call_readline is setup as a result of calling
set_top_level_interpreter, which is called from captured_main_1.
Unfortunately, set_top_level_interpreter is called after gdb_init is
called.

I wondered how to solve this problem for a while, however, I don't
know if there's an easy "just reorder some lines" solution here.
Looking through captured_main_1 there seems to be a bunch of
dependencies between printing various things, parsing config files,
and setting up the interpreter.  I'm sure there is a solution hiding
in there somewhere.... I'm just not sure I want to spend any longer
looking for it.

So.

I propose a simpler solution, more of a hack/work-around.  In utils.c
we already have a function filtered_printing_initialized, this is
checked in a few places within internal_vproblem.  In some of these
cases the call gates whether or not GDB will query the user.

My proposal is to add a new readline_initialized function, which
checks if the current_ui has had readline initialized yet.  If this is
not the case then we should not attempt to query the user.

After this change GDB prints the error message, the backtrace, and
then aborts (including dumping core).  This actually seems pretty sane
as, if GDB has not yet made it through the initialization then it
doesn't make much sense to allow the user to say "no, I don't want to
quit the debug session" (I think).

In the case where a Fortran program has a program name of "main" and
there is also a minimal symbol called main, such as with programs built
with GCC version 4.4.7 or below, the backtrace will erroneously stop at
the minimal symbol rather than the user specified main, e.g.:

(gdb) bt
#0  bar () at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/backtrace.f90:17
#1  0x0000000000402556 in foo () at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/backtrace.f90:21
#2  0x0000000000402575 in main () at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.fortran/backtrace.f90:31
bminor#3  0x00000000004025aa in main ()
(gdb)

This patch fixes this issue by increasing the precedence of the full
symbol when the language of the current frame is Fortran.

Newer versions of GCC transform the program name to "MAIN__" in this
case, avoiding the problem.

GDB expected PC should point right after the SVC instruction when the
syscall is active. But some active syscalls keep PC pointing to the SVC
instruction itself.

This leads to a broken backtrace like:
 Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
 #0  0xb6f8681c in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.4 () from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libpthread.so.0
 #1  0xb6e21f80 in ?? ()

The reason is that .ARM.exidx unwinder gives up if PC does not point
right after the SVC (syscall) instruction. I did not investigate why but
some syscalls will point PC to the SVC instruction itself. This happens
for the "futex" syscall used by pthread_cond_timedwait.

That normally does not matter as ARM prologue unwinder gets called
instead of the .ARM.exidx one. Unfortunately some glibc calls have more
complicated prologue where the GDB unwinder fails to properly determine
the return address (that is in fact an orthogonal GDB bug). I expect it
is due to the "vpush" there in this case but I did not investigate it more:

Dump of assembler code for function pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.4:

When GDB fails to test the condition of a conditional breakpoint, for
whatever reason, the error message looks like this:

  (gdb) break foo if (*(int *) 0) == 1

The line I'm interested in for this commit is this one:

  Error in testing breakpoint condition:

In the case above we can figure out that the problematic breakpoint
was #1 because in the final line of the message GDB reports the stop
at breakpoint #1.

However, in the next few patches I plan to change this.  In some cases
I don't think it makes sense for GDB to report the stop as being at
breakpoint #1, consider this case:

  Evaluation of the expression containing the function
  (some_func) will be abandoned.
  When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

  Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000000401116 in some_func () at bpcond.c:5
  5	  return *p;
  (gdb)

Notice that, the final lines of output reports the stop as being at
breakpoint #1, even though the inferior in not located within
some_func, and it's certainly not located at the breakpoint location.

I find this behaviour confusing, and propose that this should be
changed.  However, if I make that change then every reference to
breakpoint #1 will be lost from the error message.

So, in this commit, in preparation for the later commits, I propose to
change the 'Error in testing breakpoint condition:' line to this:

  Error in testing condition for breakpoint NUMBER:

where NUMBER will be filled in as appropriate.  Here's the first
example with the updated error:

  (gdb) break foo if (*(int *) 0) == 0
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x40111e: file bpcond.c, line 11.
  (gdb) r
  Starting program: /tmp/bpcond
  Error in testing condition for breakpoint 1:
  Cannot access memory at address 0x0

  Breakpoint 1, foo () at bpcond.c:11
  11	  int a = 32;
  (gdb)

The breakpoint number does now appear twice in the output, but I don't
see that as a negative.

This commit just changes the one line of the error, and updates the
few tests that either included the old error in comments, or actually
checked for the error in the expected output.

As the only test that checked the line I modified is a Python test,
I've added a new test that doesn't rely on Python that checks the
error message in detail.

While working on the new test, I spotted that it would fail when run
with native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver target boards.
This turns out to be due to a gdbserver bug.  To avoid cluttering this
commit I've added a work around to the new test script so that the
test passes for the remote boards, in the next few commits I will fix
gdbserver, and update the test script to remove the work around.

      gdb: fix handling of vfork by multi-threaded program (follow-fork-mode=parent, detach-on-fork=on)

The problem can be seen in this GDB session:

  $ gdb -q
  (gdb) set non-stop on
  (gdb) file ./gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/foll-vfork/foll-vfork
  Reading symbols from ./gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/foll-vfork/foll-vfork...
  (gdb) tcatch vfork
  Catchpoint 1 (vfork)
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /tmp/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/foll-vfork/foll-vfork

  Temporary catchpoint 1 (vforked process 1375914), 0x00007ffff7d5043c in vfork () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007ffff7d5043c in vfork () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  #1  0x00000000004011af in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffad88) at .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork.c:32
  (gdb) finish
  Run till exit from #0  0x00007ffff7d5043c in vfork () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  [Detaching after vfork from child process 1375914]
  No unwaited-for children left.
  (gdb)

Notice the "No unwaited-for children left." error.  This is incorrect,
given where we are stopped there's no reason why we shouldn't be able
to use "finish" to return to the main frame.

When the inferior is stopped as a result of the 'tcatch vfork', the
inferior is in the process of performing the vfork, that is, GDB has
seen the VFORKED event, but has not yet attached to the new child
process, nor has the child process been resumed.

However, GDB has seen the VFORKED, and, as we are going to follow the
parent process, the inferior for the vfork parent will have its
thread_waiting_for_vfork_done member variable set, this will point to
the one and only thread that makes up the vfork parent process.

When the "finish" command is used GDB eventually ends up in the
proceed function (in infrun.c), in here we pass through all the
function until we eventually encounter this 'else if' condition:

   else if (!cur_thr->resumed ()
	     && !thread_is_in_step_over_chain (cur_thr)
	     /* In non-stop, forbid resuming a thread if some other thread of
		that inferior is waiting for a vfork-done event (this means
		breakpoints are out for this inferior).  */
	     && !(non_stop
		  && cur_thr->inf->thread_waiting_for_vfork_done != nullptr))
      {

The first two of these conditions will both be true, the thread is not
already resumed, and is not in the step-over chain, however, the third
condition, this one:

	     && !(non_stop
		  && cur_thr->inf->thread_waiting_for_vfork_done != nullptr))

is false, and this prevents the thread we are trying to finish from
being resumed.  This condition is false because (a) non_stop is true,
and (b) cur_thr->inf->thread_waiting_for_vfork_done is not
nullptr (see above for why).

Now, if we check the comment embedded within the condition it says:

     /* In non-stop, forbid resuming a thread if some other thread of
        that inferior is waiting for a vfork-done event (this means
        breakpoints are out for this inferior).  */

And this makes sense, if we have a vfork parent with two thread, and
one thread has performed a vfork, then we shouldn't try to resume the
second thread.

However, if we are trying to resume the thread that actually performed
a vfork, then this is fine.  If we never resume the vfork parent then
we'll never get a VFORK_DONE event, and so the vfork will never
complete.

Thus, the condition should actually be:

     && !(non_stop
	  && cur_thr->inf->thread_waiting_for_vfork_done != nullptr
	  && cur_thr->inf->thread_waiting_for_vfork_done != cur_thr))

This extra check will allow the vfork parent thread to resume, but
prevent any other thread in the vfork parent process from resuming.
This is the same condition that already exists in the all-stop on a
non-stop-target block earlier in the proceed function.

My actual fix is slightly different to the above, first, I've chosen
to use a nested 'if' check instead of extending the original 'else if'
check, this makes it easier to write a longer comment explaining
what's going on, and second, instead of checking 'non_stop' I've
switched to checking 'target_is_non_stop_p'.  In this context this is
effectively the same thing, a previous 'else if' block in proceed
already handles '!non_stop && target_is_non_stop_p ()', so by the time
we get here, if 'target_is_non_stop_p ()' then we must be running in
non_stop mode.

Both of these tweaks will make the next patch easier, which is a
refactor to merge two parts of the proceed function, so this nested
'if' block is not going to exist for long.

For testing, there is no test included with this commit.  The test was
exposed when using a modified version of the gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp
test script, however, there are other bugs that are exposed when using
the modified test script.  These bugs will be addressed in subsequent
commits, and then I'll add the updated gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp.

If you wish to reproduce this failure then grab the updates to
gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp from the later commit and run this test, the
failure is always reproducible.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/index-cache.c:76 in index_cache::enable()
...

The race happens when issuing a "file $exec" command followed by a
"set index-cache enabled on" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread reading index_cache::m_enabled to determine whether an
  index-cache entry for $exec needs to be written
  (due to command "file $exec"), and
- the main thread setting index_cache::m_enabled
  (due to command "set index-cache enabled on").

Fix this by capturing the value of index_cache::m_enabled in the main thread,
and using the captured value in the worker thread.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race bfd/cache.c:584 in bfd_open_file
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread getting the build id while writing the index cache, and in
  the process reading bfd::format, and
- the main thread calling find_main_name, and in the process setting
  bfd::cacheable.

The two bitfields bfd::cacheable and bfd::format share the same bitfield
container.

Fix this by capturing the build id in the main thread, and using the captured
value in the worker thread.

Likewise for the dwz build id, which likely suffers from the same issue.

While we're at it, also move the creation of the cache directory to
the index_cache_store_context constructor, to:
- make sure there's no race between subsequent file commands, and
- issue any related warning or error messages during the file command.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:5564 in queue_comp_unit
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread expanding the CU containing main, and in the process setting
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::queued.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::queue and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::queued a packed<bool, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:21513 in dwarf2_per_cu_data::get_header() const
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
   dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in a packed<bool, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:3077 in dw_expand_symtabs_matching_file_matcher(dwarf2_per_objfile*, gdb::function_view<bool (char const*, bool)>)
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark a packed<unsigned int, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:2033 in dw2_get_file_names_reader
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read a packed<bool, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

      gdb: don't resume vfork parent while child is still running

the test gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp now has some failures when
run with the native-gdbserver or native-extended-gdbserver boards:

  FAIL: gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp: resolution_method=schedule-multiple: continue to end of inferior 2 (timeout)
  FAIL: gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp: resolution_method=schedule-multiple: inferior 1 (timeout)
  FAIL: gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp: resolution_method=schedule-multiple: print unblock_parent = 1 (timeout)
  FAIL: gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp: resolution_method=schedule-multiple: continue to break_parent (timeout)

The reason that these failures don't show up when run on the standard
unix board is that the test is only run in the default operating mode,
so for Linux this will be all-stop on top of non-stop.

If we adjust the test script so that it runs in the default mode and
with target-non-stop turned off, then we see the same failures on the
unix board.  This commit includes this change.

The way that the test is written means that it is not (currently)
possible to turn on non-stop mode and have the test still work, so
this commit does not do that.

I have also updated the test script so that the vfork child performs
an exec as well as the current exit.  Exec and exit are the two ways
in which a vfork child can release the vfork parent, so testing both
of these cases is useful I think.

In this test the inferior performs a vfork and the vfork-child
immediately exits.  The vfork-parent will wait for the vfork-child and
then blocks waiting for gdb.  Once gdb has released the vfork-parent,
the vfork-parent also exits.

In the test that fails, GDB sets 'detach-on-fork off' and then runs to
the vfork.  At this point the test tries to just "continue", but this
fails as the vfork-parent is still selected, and the parent can't
continue until the vfork-child completes.  As the vfork-child is
stopped by GDB the parent will never stop once resumed, so GDB refuses
to resume it.

The test script then sets 'schedule-multiple on' and once again
continues.  This time GDB, in theory, resumes both the parent and the
child, the parent will be held blocked by the kernel, but the child
will run until it exits, and which point GDB stops again, this time
with inferior 2, the newly exited vfork-child, selected.

What happens after this in the test script is irrelevant as far as
this failure is concerned.

To understand why the test started failing we should consider the
behaviour of four different cases:

  1. All-stop-on-non-stop before commit b1e0126,

  2. All-stop-on-non-stop after commit b1e0126,

  3. All-stop-on-all-stop before commit b1e0126, and

  4. All-stop-on-all-stop after commit b1e0126.

Only case bminor#4 is failing after commit b1e0126, but I think the
other cases are interesting because, (a) they inform how we might fix
the regression, and (b) it turns out the behaviour of #2 changed too
with the commit, but the change was harmless.

For #1 All-stop-on-non-stop before commit b1e0126, what happens
is:

  1. GDB calls proceed with the vfork-parent selected, as schedule
     multiple is on user_visible_resume_ptid returns -1 (everything)
     as the resume_ptid (see proceed function),

  2. As this is all-stop-on-non-stop, every thread is resumed
    individually, so GDB tries to resume both the vfork-parent and the
    vfork-child, both of which succeed,

  3. The vfork-parent is held stopped by the kernel,

  4. The vfork-child completes (exits) at which point the GDB sees the
     EXITED event for the vfork-child and the VFORK_DONE event for the
     vfork-parent,

  5. At this point we might take two paths depending on which event
     GDB handles first, if GDB handles the VFORK_DONE first then:

     (a) As GDB is controlling both parent and child the VFORK_DONE is
         ignored (see handle_vfork_done), the vfork-parent will be
	 resumed,

     (b) GDB processes the EXITED event, selects the (now defunct)
         vfork-child, and stops, returning control to the user.

     Alternatively, if GDB selects the EXITED event first then:

     (c) GDB processes the EXITED event, selects the (now defunct)
         vfork-child, and stops, returning control to the user.

     (d) At some future time the user resumes the vfork-parent, at
         which point the VFORK_DONE is reported to GDB, however, GDB
	 is ignoring the VFORK_DONE (see handle_vfork_done), so the
	 parent is resumed.

For case #2, all-stop-on-non-stop after commit b1e0126, the
important difference is in step (2) above, now, instead of resuming
both the vfork-parent and the vfork-child, only the vfork-child is
resumed.  As such, when we get to step (5), only a single event, the
EXITED event is reported.

GDB handles the EXITED just as in (5)(c), then, later, when the user
resumes the vfork-parent, the VFORKED_DONE is immediately delivered
from the kernel, but this is ignored just as in (5)(d), and so,
though the pattern of when the vfork-parent is resumed changes, the
overall pattern of which events are reported and when, doesn't
actually change.  In fact, by not resuming the vfork-parent, the order
of events (in this test) is now deterministic, which (maybe?) is a
good thing.

If we now consider case bminor#3, all-stop-on-all-stop before commit
b1e0126, then what happens is:

  1. GDB calls proceed with the vfork-parent selected, as schedule
     multiple is on user_visible_resume_ptid returns -1 (everything)
     as the resume_ptid (see proceed function),

  2. As this is all-stop-on-all-stop, the resume is passed down to the
     linux-nat target, the vfork-parent is the event thread, while the
     vfork-child is a sibling of the event thread,

  3. In linux_nat_target::resume, GDB calls linux_nat_resume_callback
     for all threads, this causes the vfork-child to be resumed.  Then
     in linux_nat_target::resume, the event thread, the vfork-parent,
     is also resumed.

  4. The vfork-parent is held stopped by the kernel,

  5. The vfork-child completes (exits) at which point the GDB sees the
     EXITED event for the vfork-child and the VFORK_DONE event for the
     vfork-parent,

  6. We are now in a situation identical to step (5) as for
     all-stop-on-non-stop above, GDB selects one of the events to
     handle, and whichever we select the user sees the correct
     behaviour.

And so, finally, we can consider bminor#4, all-stop-on-all-stop after commit
b1e0126, this is the case that started failing.

We start out just like above, in proceed, the resume_ptid is
-1 (resume everything), due to schedule multiple being on.  And just
like above, due to the target being all-stop, we call
proceed_resume_thread_checked just once, for the current thread,
which, remember, is the vfork-parent thread.

The change in commit b1e0126 was to avoid resuming a vfork-parent
thread, read the commit message for the justification for this change.

However, this means that GDB now rejects resuming the vfork-parent in
this case, which means that nothing gets resumed!  Obviously, if
nothing resumes, then nothing will ever stop, and so GDB appears to
hang.

I considered a couple of solutions which, in the end, I didn't go
with, these were:

  1. Move the vfork-parent check out of proceed_resume_thread_checked,
     and place it in proceed, but only on the all-stop-on-non-stop
     path, this should still address the issue seen in b1e0126,
     but would avoid the issue seen here.  I rejected this just
     because it didn't feel great to split the checks that exist in
     proceed_resume_thread_checked like this,

  2. Extend the condition in proceed_resume_thread_checked by adding a
     target_is_non_stop_p check.  This would have the same effect as
     idea 1, but leaves all the checks in the same place, which I
     think would be better, but this still just didn't feel right to
     me, and so,

What I noticed was that for the all-stop-on-non-stop, after commit
b1e0126, we only resumed the vfork-child, and this seems fine.
The vfork-parent isn't going to run anyway (the kernel will hold it
back), so if feels like we there's no harm in just waiting for the
child to complete, and then resuming the parent.

So then I started looking at follow_fork, which is called from the top
of proceed.  This function already has the task of switching between
the parent and child based on which the user wishes to follow.  So, I
wondered, could we use this to switch to the vfork-child in the case
that we are attached to both?

Turns out this is pretty simple to do.

Having done that, now the process is for all-stop-on-all-stop after
commit b1e0126, and with this new fix is:

  1. GDB calls proceed with the vfork-parent selected, but,

  2. In follow_fork, and follow_fork_inferior, GDB switches the
     selected thread to be that of the vfork-child,

  3. Back in proceed user_visible_resume_ptid returns -1 (everything)
     as the resume_ptid still, but now,

  4. When GDB calls proceed_resume_thread_checked, the vfork-child is
     the current selected thread, this is not a vfork-parent, and so
     GDB allows the proceed to continue to the linux-nat target,

  5. In linux_nat_target::resume, GDB calls linux_nat_resume_callback
     for all threads, this does not resume the vfork-parent (because
     it is a vfork-parent), and then the vfork-child is resumed as
     this is the event thread,

At this point we are back in the same situation as for
all-stop-on-non-stop after commit b1e0126, that is, the
vfork-child is resumed, while the vfork-parent is held stopped by
GDB.

Eventually the vfork-child will exit or exec, at which point the
vfork-parent will be resumed.

The problem is that the loop around GetConsoleProcessList looped
forever, because there were exactly 10 processes to return.
GetConsoleProcessList's documentation says:

  If the buffer is too small to hold all the valid process identifiers,
  the return value is the required number of array elements. The
  function will have stored no identifiers in the buffer. In this
  situation, use the return value to allocate a buffer that is large
  enough to store the entire list and call the function again.

In this case, the buffer wasn't too small, it was exactly the right
size, so we should have broken out of the loop.  We didn't due to a
"<" check that should have been "<=".  That is fixed by this patch.

When running test-case gdb.base/add-symbol-file-attach.exp with target board
unix/-m32, we run into:
...

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/add-symbol-file-attach.exp: attach
...

The test fails because this regexp is used:
...
    -re ".*in \[_A-Za-z0-9\]*pause.*$gdb_prompt $" {
...

The regexp attempts to detect that the exec is somewhere in pause ():
...
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  pause ();
  return 0;
}
...
but when the exec is blocked in pause, the backtrace is:
...
 (gdb) bt
 #0  0xf7fd2549 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
 #1  0xf7d84966 in __libc_pause () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pause.c:29

     at /data/vries/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/add-symbol-file-attach.c:26
...

We could simply extend the regexp to also match __kernel_vsyscall, but the
more fundamental problem is that the test is racy.

The attach can happen before the exec is blocked in pause (), somewhere in the
dynamic linker resolving the call to pause, in main or even earlier.

Note that for the test-case to be effective, the exec is not required to be in
pause ().  I added a "while (1);" loop at the start of main, reverted the
patch fixing the corresponding PR and reproduced the problem it's supposed to
detect.

Fix this by simply matching the "Reading symbols from" line, similar to what
an earlier test is doing.

While we're at it, rewrite the earlier test to also use the -wrap idiom.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Change gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to take a frame instead of a
regcache.  The frame (and formerly the regcache) is used to read raw
registers needed to make up the pseudo register value.  The problem with
using the regcache is that it always provides raw register values for
the current frame (frame 0).

Let's say the user wants to read the ebx register on amd64.  ebx is a pseudo
register, obtained by reading the bottom half (bottom 4 bytes) of the
rbx register, which is a raw register.  If the currently selected frame
is frame 0, it works fine:

    (gdb) frame 0
    #0  break_here_asm () at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S:36
    36      in /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S
    (gdb) p/x $ebx
    $1 = 0x24252627
    (gdb) p/x $rbx
    $2 = 0x2021222324252627

But if the user is looking at another frame, and the raw register behind
the pseudo register has been saved at some point in the call stack, then
we get a wrong answer:

    (gdb) frame 1
    #1  0x000055555555517d in caller () at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S:56
    56      in /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.arch/amd64-pseudo-unwind-asm.S
    (gdb) p/x $ebx
    $3 = 0x24252627
    (gdb) p/x $rbx
    $4 = 0x1011121314151617

Here, the value of ebx was computed using the value of rbx in frame 0
(through the regcache), it should have been computed using the value of
rbx in frame 1.

In other to make this work properly, make the following changes:

 - Make dwarf2_frame_prev_register return nullptr if it doesn't know how
   to unwind a register and that register is a pseudo register.
   Previously, it returned `frame_unwind_got_register`, meaning, in our
   example, "the value of ebx in frame 1 is the same as the value of ebx
   in frame 0", which is obviously false.  Return nullptr as a way to
   say "I don't know".

 - In frame_unwind_register_value, when prev_register (for instance
   dwarf2_frame_prev_register) returns nullptr, and we are trying to
   read a pseudo register, try to get the register value through
   gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value or gdbarch_pseudo_register_read.
   If using gdbarch_pseudo_register_read, the behavior is known to be
   broken.  Implementations should be migrated to use
   gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to fix that.

 - Change gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value to take a frame_info
   instead of a regcache, update implementations (aarch64, amd64, i386).
   In i386-tdep.c, I made a copy of i386_mmx_regnum_to_fp_regnum that
   uses a frame instead of a regcache.  The version using the regcache
   is still used by i386_pseudo_register_write.  It will get removed in
   a subsequent patch.

 - Add some helpers in value.{c,h} to implement the common cases of
   pseudo registers: taking part of a raw register and concatenating
   multiple raw registers.

 - Update readable_regcache::{cooked_read,cooked_read_value} to pass the
   current frame to gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value.  Passing the
   current frame will give the same behavior as before: for frame 0, raw
   registers will be read from the current thread's regcache.

Notes:

 - I do not plan on changing gdbarch_pseudo_register_read to receive a
   frame instead of a regcache. That method is considered deprecated.
   Instead, we should be working on migrating implementations to use
   gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_value instead.

 - In frame_unwind_register_value, we still ask the unwinder to try to
   unwind pseudo register values.  It's apparently possible for the
   debug info to provide information about [1] pseudo registers, so we
   want to try that first, before falling back to computing them
   ourselves.

 FAIL: gdb.base/solib-search.exp: backtrace (with wrong libs)

The FAIL is generated by this code in the test-case:
...
    if { $expect_fail } {
	# If the backtrace output is correct the test isn't sufficiently
	# testing what it should.
	if { $count == $total_expected } {
	    set fail 1
	}
...

The test-case:
- builds two versions of two shared libs, a "right" and "wrong" version, the
  difference being an additional dummy function (called spacer function),
- uses the "right" version to generate a core file,
- uses the "wrong" version to interpret the core file, and
- generates a backtrace.

The intent is that the backtrace is incorrect due to using the "wrong"
version, but actually it's correct.  This is because the spacer functions
aren't large enough.

Fix this by increasing the size of the spacer functions by adding a dummy
loop, after which we have, as expected, an incorrect backtrace:
...

However, when setting a breakpoint on the entry point foo:
...
(gdb) b foo
Breakpoint 1 at 0x100006dc
...
it ends up in foobar instead of in foo, due to prologue skipping, and
consequently the backtrace show foobar instead foo.

The problem is that the test-case does not emulate an actual prologue at each

Fix this by disabling the prologue skipping when setting a breakpoint, using
"break *foo".

The testsuite for SCFI contains target-specific tests.

When a test is executed with --scfi=experimental command line option,
the CFI annotations in the test .s files are skipped altogether by the
GAS for processing.  The CFI directives in the input assembly files are,
however, validated by running the assembler one more time without
--scfi=experimental.

Some testcases are used to highlight those asm constructs that the SCFI
machinery in GAS currently does not support:

  - Only System V AMD64 ABI is supported for now. Using either --32 or
    --x32 with SCFI results in hard error.
    See scfi-unsupported-1.s.

  - Untraceable stack-pointer manipulation in function epilougue and prologue.
    See scfi-unsupported-2.s.

  - Using Dynamically Realigned Arguement Pointer (DRAP) register to
    realign the stack.  For SCFI, the CFA must be only REG_SP or REG_FP
    based.  See scfi-unsupported-drap-1.s

Some testcases are used to highlight some diagnostics that the SCFI
machinery in GAS currently issues, with an intent to help user correct
inadvertent errors in their hand-written asm.  An error is issued when
GAS finds that input asm is not amenable to correct CFI synthesis.

  - (#1) "Warning: SCFI: Asymetrical register restore"
  - (#2) "Error: SCFI: usage of REG_FP as scratch not supported"
  - (bminor#3) "Error: SCFI: unsupported stack manipulation pattern"

In case of (#2) and (bminor#3), SCFI generation is skipped for the respective
function.  Above is a subset of the warnings/errors implemented in the
code.

In case a DIE contains a linkage name which cannot be demangled and
a source language name (DW_AT_NAME) exists then we want to display this name
instead of the non-demangeable linkage name.

dwarf2_physname returns the linkage name in case the linkage name
cannot be demangled.  Before this patch we always set the returned physname
as demangled name.  This patch changes this by comparing the value
of physname with the linkage name.  Now after this change in case it is equals
to the linkage name and if DW_AT_NAME exists then this is set as the demangled
name otherwise like before still linkage name is used.

For the reproducer, using the test source file added in this change:
"gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-wrong-mangled-name.c"

Here is an example of the DWARF where wrong linkage name is emitted by the
compiler for the "func_demangled_test" function:

subprogram {
    {MACRO_AT_range {func_demangled_test}}
    {linkage_name "_FUNC_WRONG_MANGLED__"}
    {name "func_demangled_test"}
    {external 1 flag}
}
subprogram {
    {MACRO_AT_range {main}}
    {external 1 flag}
    {name main}
    {main_subprogram 1 flag}
}

Before this change for a function having both DIEs DW_AT_name and
DW_AT_LINKAGENAME but with the wrong linkage name info, the backtrace
command shows following:

(gdb) b func_demangled_test
(gdb) r
Breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555555131 in _FUNC_WRONG_MANGLED__ ()
(gdb) backtrace
\#0  0x0000555555555131 in  _FUNC_WRONG_MANGLED__ ()
\#1  0x000055555555514a in main ()

After the change now GDB shows the name emitted by DW_AT_NAME:

(gdb) b func_demangled_test
(gdb) r
Breakpoint 1, 0x0000555555555131 in func_demangled_test ()
(gdb) backtrace
\#0  0x0000555555555131 in func_demangled_test ()
\#1  0x000055555555514a in main ()

A new test is added to verify this change.

Similar to the x86_64 testcases, some .s files contain the corresponding
CFI directives.  This helps in validating the synthesized CFI by running
those tests with and without the --scfi=experimental command line
option.

GAS issues some diagnostics, enabled by default, with
--scfi=experimental.  The diagnostics have been added with an intent to
help user correct inadvertent errors in their hand-written asm.  An
error is issued when GAS finds that input asm is not amenable to
accurate CFI synthesis.  The existing scfi-diag-*.s tests in the
gas/testsuite/gas/scfi/x86_64 directory test some SCFI diagnostics
already:

      - (#1) "Warning: SCFI: Asymetrical register restore"
      - (#2) "Error: SCFI: usage of REG_FP as scratch not supported"
      - (bminor#3) "Error: SCFI: unsupported stack manipulation pattern"
      - (bminor#4) "Error: untraceable control flow for func 'XXX'"

In the newly added aarch64 testsuite, further tests for additional
diagnostics have been added:
 - scfi-diag-1.s in this patch highlights an aarch64-specific diagnostic:
   (bminor#5) "Warning: SCFI: ignored probable save/restore op with reg offset"

Additionally, some testcases are added to showcase the (currently)
unsupported patterns, e.g., scfi-unsupported-1.s
        mov     x16, 4384
        sub     sp, sp, x16

The purpose of the test-case is printing the frame at level 1, so I don't
think we should bother about the presence of the frame at level 3.

Fix this by allowing the backtrace to stop at level 2.

Some flavors of indirect call and jmp instructions were not being
handled earlier, leading to a GAS error (#1):
  (#1) "Error: SCFI: unhandled op 0xff may cause incorrect CFI"

Not handling jmp/call (direct or indirect) ops is an error (as shown
above) because SCFI needs an accurate CFG to synthesize CFI correctly.
Recall that the presence of indirect jmp/call, however, does make the
CFG ineligible for SCFI. In other words, generating the ginsns for them
now, will eventually cause SCFI to bail out later with an error (#2)
anyway:
  (#2) "Error: untraceable control flow for func 'XXX'"

The first error (#1) gives the impression of missing functionality in
GAS.  So, it seems cleaner to synthesize a GINSN_TYPE_JUMP /
GINSN_TYPE_CALL now in the backend, and let SCFI machinery complain with
the error as expected.

The handling for these indirect jmp/call instructions is similar, so
reuse the code by carving out a function for the same.

Adjust the testcase to include the now handled jmp/call instructions as
well.

A review comment on the SCFI V4 series was to handle ginsn creation for
certain lea opcodes more precisely.

Specifically, we should preferably handle the following two cases of lea
opcodes similarly:
  - devkitPro#1 lea with "index register and scale factor of 1, but no base
    register",
  - devkitPro#2 lea with "no index register, but base register present".

Currently, a ginsn of type GINSN_TYPE_OTHER is generated for the
case of devkitPro#1 above.  For devkitPro#2, however, the lea insn is translated to either
a GINSN_TYPE_ADD or GINSN_TYPE_MOV depending on whether the immediate
for displacement is non-zero or not respectively.

Change the handling in x86_ginsn_lea so that both of the above lea
manifestations are handled similarly.

While at it, remove the code paths creating GINSN_TYPE_OTHER altogether
from the function.  It makes sense to piggy back on the
x86_ginsn_unhandled code path to create GINSN_TYPE_OTHER if the
destination register is interesting.  This was also suggested in one of
the previous review rounds;  the other functions already follow that
model, so this keeps functions symmetrical looking.

Bug PR gdb/28313 describes attaching to a process when the executable
has been deleted.  The bug is for S390 and describes how a user sees a
message 'PC not saved'.

On x86-64 (GNU/Linux) I don't see a 'PC not saved' message, but
instead I see this:

  (gdb) attach 901877
  Attaching to process 901877
  No executable file now.
  warning: Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
  0x00007fa9d9c121e7 in ?? ()
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007fa9d9c121e7 in ?? ()

  bminor#3  0x000000002dc8b18d in ?? ()
  bminor#4  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
  (gdb)

Notice that the addresses in the backtrace don't seem right, quickly
heading to 0x7 and finally ending at 0x0.

What's going on, in both the s390 case and the x86-64 case is that the
architecture's prologue scanner is going wrong and causing the stack
unwinding to fail.

The prologue scanner goes wrong because GDB has no unwind information.

And GDB has no unwind information because, of course, the executable
has been deleted.

Notice in the example session above we get this line in the output:

  No executable file now.

which indicates that GDB failed to find an executable to debug.

For GNU/Linux when GDB tries to find an executable for a given pid we
end up calling linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file in gdb/nat/linux-procfs.c.
Within this function we call `readlink` on /proc/PID/exe to find the
path of the actual executable.

If the `readlink` call fails then we already fallback on using
/proc/PID/exe as the path to the executable to debug.

However, when the executable has been deleted the `readlink` call
doesn't fail, but the path that is returned points to a non-existent
file.

I propose that we add an `access` call to linux_proc_pid_to_exec_file
to check that the target file exists and can be read.  If the target
can't be read then we should fall back to /proc/PID/exe (assuming that
/proc/PID/exe can be read).

Now on x86-64 the output looks like this:

  (gdb) attach 901877
  Attaching to process 901877
  Reading symbols from /proc/901877/exe...
  Reading symbols from /lib64/libc.so.6...
  (No debugging symbols found in /lib64/libc.so.6)
  Reading symbols from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2...
  (No debugging symbols found in /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
  0x00007fa9d9c121e7 in nanosleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x00007fa9d9c121e7 in nanosleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  devkitPro#1  0x00007fa9d9c1211e in sleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
  devkitPro#2  0x000000000040117e in spin_forever () at attach-test.c:17
  bminor#3  0x0000000000401198 in main () at attach-test.c:24
  (gdb)

which is much better.

I've also tagged the bug PR gdb/29782 which concerns the test
gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp.  After making this change,
when running gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp GDB would now
pick up the /proc/PID/exe file as the executable in some cases.

As GDB is not restarted for the multiple iterations of this test
GDB (or rather BFD) would given a warning/error like:

  (gdb) PASS: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=target:: action=permission: setup: disconnect
  set sysroot target:
  BFD: reopening /proc/3283001/exe: No such file or directory
  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp: sysroot=target:: action=permission: setup: adjust sysroot

What's happening is that an executable found for an earlier iteration
of the test is still registered for the inferior when we are setting
up for a second iteration of the test.  When the sysroot changes, if
there's an executable registered GDB tries to reopen it, but in this
case the file has disappeared (the previous inferior has exited by
this point).

I did think about maybe, when the executable is /proc/PID/exe, we
should auto-delete the file from the inferior.  But in the end I
thought this was a bad idea.  Not only would this require a lot of
special code in GDB just to support this edge case: we'd need to track
if the exe file name came from /proc and should be auto-deleted, or
we'd need target specific code to check if a path should be
auto-deleted.....

... in addition, we'd still want to warn the user when we auto-deleted
the file from the inferior, otherwise they might be surprised to find
their inferior suddenly has no executable attached, so we wouldn't
actually reduce the number of warnings the user sees.

So in the end I figured that the best solution is to just update the
test to avoid the warning.  This is easily done by manually removing
the executable from the inferior once each iteration of the test has
completed.

Now, in bug PR gdb/29782 GDB is clearly managing to pick up an
executable from the NFS cache somehow.  I guess what's happening is
that when the original file is deleted /proc/PID/exe is actually
pointing to a file in the NFS cache which is only deleted at some
later point, and so when GDB starts up we do manage to associate a
file with the inferior, this results in the same message being emitted
from BFD as I was seeing.  The fix included in this commit should also
fix that bug.

One final note:  On x86-64 GNU/Linux, the
gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp test will produce 2 core
files.  This is due to a bug in gdbserver that is nothing to do with
this test.  These core files are created before and after this
commit.  I am working on a fix for the gdbserver issue, but will post
that separately.

Currently, if frame-filters are active, raw-values is used instead of
raw-frame-arguments to decide if a pretty-printer should be invoked for
frame arguments in a backtrace.

In this example, "super struct" is the output of the pretty-printer:

    (gdb) disable frame-filter global BasicFrameFilter
    (gdb) bt
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47
    devkitPro#1  0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57

If no frame-filter is active, then the raw-values print option does not
affect the backtrace output:

    (gdb) set print raw-values on
    (gdb) bt
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47
    devkitPro#1  0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57
    (gdb) set print raw-values off

Instead, the raw-frame-arguments option disables the pretty-printer in the
backtrace:

    (gdb) bt -raw-frame-arguments on
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=...) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47
    devkitPro#1  0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57

But if a frame-filter is active, the same rules don't apply.
The option raw-frame-arguments is ignored, but raw-values decides if the
pretty-printer is used:

    (gdb) enable frame-filter global BasicFrameFilter
    (gdb) bt
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47
    devkitPro#1  0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57
    (gdb) set print raw-values on
    (gdb) bt
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=...) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47
    devkitPro#1  0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57
    (gdb) set print raw-values off
    (gdb) bt -raw-frame-arguments on
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47
    devkitPro#1  0x004016aa in main () at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:57

So this adds the PRINT_RAW_FRAME_ARGUMENTS flag to frame_filter_flag, which
is then used in the frame-filter to override the raw flag in enumerate_args.

Then the output is the same if a frame-filter is active, the pretty-printer
for backtraces is only disabled with the raw-frame-arguments option:

    (gdb) enable frame-filter global BasicFrameFilter
    (gdb) bt
    #0  foo (x=42, ss=super struct = {...}) at C:/src/repos/gdb-testsuite/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-frame-args.c:47

When running test-case gdb.dap/eof.exp, it occasionally coredumps.

The direct cause for the coredump seems to be that cli_ui_out::do_message
is trying to write to a stream variable which does not look sound:
...
(gdb) p *stream
$8 = {_vptr.ui_file = 0x0, m_applied_style = {m_foreground = {m_simple = true, {
        m_value = 0, {m_red = 0 '\000', m_green = 0 '\000', m_blue = 0 '\000'}}},
    m_background = {m_simple = 32, {m_value = 65535, {m_red = 255 '\377',
          m_green = 255 '\377', m_blue = 0 '\000'}}},
    m_intensity = (unknown: 0x438fe710), m_reverse = 255}}
...

The string that is being printed is:
...
(gdb) p str
$9 = "Exception in thread "
...
so AFAICT this is a DAP thread running into an exception and trying to print
it.

If we look at the state of gdb's main thread, we have:

AFAIU, there's a race between the two threads on gdb_stderr:
- the DAP thread samples the gdb_stderr value, and uses it a bit later to
  print to
- the gdb main thread changes the gdb_stderr value forth and back,
  using a temporary value for string capture purposes

The non-sound stream value is caused by gdb_stderr being sampled while
pointing to a str_file object, and used once the str_file object is already
destroyed.

The error here is that the DAP thread attempts to print to gdb_stderr.

Fix this by adding a thread_wrapper that:
- catches all exceptions and logs them to dap.log, and
- while we're at it, logs when exiting
and using the thread_wrapper for each DAP thread.

The direct cause of the segfault is calling PyGILState_Ensure after
calling Py_Finalize.

AFAICT the problem is a race between the gdb main thread and DAP's JSON writer
thread.

On one side, we have the following events:
- DAP's JSON reader thread reads an EOF, and lets DAP's main thread known
  by writing None into read_queue
- DAP's main thread lets DAP's JSON writer thread known by writing None into
  write_queue
- DAP's JSON writer thread sees the None in its queue, and calls
  send_gdb("quit")
- a corresponding gdbpy_event is deposited in the runnables vector, to be
  run by the gdb main thread

On the other side, we have the following events:
- the gdb main thread receives a SIGHUP
- the corresponding handler calls quit_force, which calls do_final_cleanups
- one of the final cleanups is finalize_python, which calls Py_Finalize
- quit_force calls exit, which triggers the exit handlers
- one of the exit handlers is the destructor of the runnables vector
- destruction of the vector triggers destruction of the remaining element
- the remaining element is a gdbpy_event, and the destructor (indirectly)
  calls PyGILState_Ensure

It's good to note that both events (EOF and SIGHUP) are caused by this line in
the test-case:
...
catch "close -i $gdb_spawn_id"
...
where "expect close" closes the stdin and stdout file descriptors, which
causes the SIGHUP to be send.

So, for the system I'm running this on, the send_gdb("quit") is actually not
needed.

I'm not sure if we support any systems where it's actually needed.

Fix this by removing the send_gdb("quit").

Tested on aarch64-linux.

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0x6da18) in memmove
...

The error happens when trying to print either variable y or y2:
...
   type Variable_Record (A : Boolean := True) is record
      case A is
         when True =>
            B : Integer;
         when False =>
            C : Float;
            D : Integer;
      end case;
   end record;
   Y  : Variable_Record := (A => True, B => 1);
   Y2 : Variable_Record := (A => False, C => 1.0, D => 2);
...
when the variables are uninitialized.

The error happens only when printing the entire variable:
...
(gdb) p y.a
$2 = 216
(gdb) p y.b
There is no member named b.
(gdb) p y.c
$3 = 9.18340949e-41
(gdb) p y.d
$4 = 1
(gdb) p y
<AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow>
...

The error happens as follows:
- field a functions as discriminant, choosing either the b, or c+d variant.
- when y.a happens to be set to 216, as above, gdb interprets this as the
  variable having the c+d variant (which is why trying to print y.b fails).
- when printing y, gdb allocates a value, copies the bytes into it from the
  target, and then prints the value.
- gdb allocates the value using the type size, which is 8.  It's 8 because
  that's what the DW_AT_byte_size indicates.  Note that for valid values of a,
  it gives correct results: if a is 0 (c+d variant), size is 12, if a is 1
  (b variant), size is 8.
- gdb tries to print field d, which is at an 8 byte offset, and that results
  in a out-of-bounds access for the allocated 8-byte value.

Fix this by handling this case in value::contents_copy_raw, such that we have:
...
(gdb) p y
$1 = (a => 24, c => 9.18340949e-41,
      d => <error reading variable: access outside bounds of object>)
...

An alternative (additional) fix could be this: in compute_variant_fields_inner
gdb reads the discriminant y.a to decide which variant is active.  It would be
nice to detect that the value (y.a == 24) is not a valid Boolean, and give up
on choosing a variant altoghether.  However, the situation regarding the
internal type CODE_TYPE_BOOL is currently ambiguous (see PR31282) and it's not
possible to reliably decide what valid values are.

The test-case source file gdb.ada/uninitialized-variable-record/parse.adb is
a reduced version of gdb.ada/uninitialized_vars/parse.adb, so it copies the
copyright years.

Note that the test-case needs gcc-12 or newer, it's unsupported for older gcc
versions. [ So, it would be nice to rewrite it into a dwarf assembly
test-case. ]

The test-case loops over all languages.  This is inherited from an earlier
attempt to fix this, which had language-specific fixes (in print_field_values,
cp_print_value_fields, pascal_object_print_value_fields and
f_language::value_print_inner).  I've left this in, but I suppose it's not
strictly necessary anymore.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

From the Python API, we can execute GDB commands via gdb.execute.  If
the command gives an exception, however, we need to recover the GDB
prompt and enable stdin, because the exception does not reach
top-level GDB or normal_stop.  This was done in commit

    gdb: Enable stdin on exception in execute_gdb_command

with the following code:

  catch (const gdb_exception &except)
    {
      /* If an exception occurred then we won't hit normal_stop (), or have
         an exception reach the top level of the event loop, which are the
         two usual places in which stdin would be re-enabled. So, before we
         convert the exception and continue back in Python, we should
         re-enable stdin here.  */
      async_enable_stdin ();
      GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except);
    }

In this patch, we explain what happens when we run a GDB command in
the context of a synchronous command, e.g.  via Python observer
notifications.

As an example, suppose we have the following objfile event listener,
specified in a file named file.py:

~~~
import gdb

class MyListener:
    def __init__(self):
        gdb.events.new_objfile.connect(self.handle_new_objfile_event)
        self.processed_objfile = False

    def handle_new_objfile_event(self, event):
        if self.processed_objfile:
            return

        print("loading " + event.new_objfile.filename)
        self.processed_objfile = True
        gdb.execute('add-inferior -no-connection')
        gdb.execute('inferior 2')
        gdb.execute('target remote | gdbserver - /tmp/a.out')
        gdb.execute('inferior 1')

the_listener = MyListener()
~~~

Using this Python file, we see the behavior below:

  $ gdb -q -ex "source file.py" -ex "run" --args a.out
  Reading symbols from a.out...
  Starting program: /tmp/a.out
  loading /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  [New inferior 2]
  Added inferior 2
  [Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
  stdin/stdout redirected
  Process /tmp/a.out created; pid = 3075406
  Remote debugging using stdio
  Reading /tmp/a.out from remote target...
  ...
  [Switching to inferior 1 [process 3075400] (/tmp/a.out)]
  [Switching to thread 1.1 (process 3075400)]
  #0  0x00007ffff7fe3290 in ?? () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  (gdb) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
  Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
  [Inferior 1 (process 3075400) exited normally]

Note how the GDB prompt comes in-between the debugger output.  We have this
obscure behavior, because the executed command, "target remote", triggers
an invocation of `normal_stop` that enables stdin.  After that, however,
the Python notification context completes and GDB continues with its normal
flow of executing the 'run' command.  This can be seen in the call stack
below:

The use of the "target remote" command here is just an example.  In
principle, we would reproduce the problem with any command that
triggers an invocation of `normal_stop`.

To omit enabling the stdin in `normal_stop`, we would have to check the
context we are in.  Since we cannot do that, we add a new field to
`struct ui` to track whether the prompt was already blocked, and set
the tracker flag in the Python context before executing a GDB command.

After applying this patch, the output becomes

  ...

Let's now consider a secondary scenario, where the command executed from
the Python raises an error.  As an example, suppose we have the Python
file below:

    def handle_new_objfile_event(self, event):
        ...
        print("loading " + event.new_objfile.filename)
        self.processed_objfile = True
        gdb.execute('print a')

The executed command, "print a", gives an error because "a" is not
defined.  Without this patch, we see the behavior below, where the
prompt is again placed incorrectly:

  ...
  Reading symbols from /tmp/a.out...
  Starting program: /tmp/a.out

Again, after we enable stdin, GDB continues with its normal flow
of the 'run' command and receives the inferior's exit event, where
it would have enabled stdin, if we had not done it prematurely.

iSasuke7 pushed a commit to devkitNoob-mirrors/binutils-gdb that referenced this issue Aug 30, 2024
This started with a Red Hat bug report which can be seen here:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1850710

The problem reported here was using GDB on GNU/Linux for S390, the
user stepped into JIT generated code.  As they enter the JIT code GDB
would report 'PC not saved', and this same message would be reported
after each step/stepi.

Additionally, the user had 'set disassemble-next-line on', and once
they entered the JIT code this output was not displayed, nor were any
'display' directives displayed.

The user is not making use of the JIT plugin API to provide debug
information.  But that's OK, they aren't expecting any source level
debug here, they are happy to use 'stepi', but the missing 'display'
directives are a problem, as is the constant 'PC not saved' (error)
message.

What is happening here is that as GDB is failing to find any debug
information for the JIT generated code, it is falling back on to the
S390 prologue unwinder to try and unwind frame #0.  Unfortunately,
without being able to identify the function boundaries, the S390
prologue scanner can't help much, in fact, it doesn't even suggest an
arbitrary previous $pc value (some targets that use a link-register
will, by default, assume the link-register contains the previous $pc),
instead the S390 will just say, "sorry, I have no previous $pc value".

The result of this is that when GDB tries to find frame devkitPro#1 we end
throwing an error from frame_unwind_pc (the 'PC not saved' error).
This error is not caught anywhere except at the top-level interpreter
loop, and so we end up skipping all the 'display' directive handling.

While thinking about this, I wondered, could I trigger the same error
using the Python Unwinder API?  What happens if a Python unwinder
claims a frame, but then fails to provide a previous $pc value?

Turns out that exactly the same thing happens, which is great, as that
means we now have a way to reproduce this bug on any target.  And so
the test included with this patch does just this.  I have a Python
unwinder that claims a frame, but doesn't provide any previous
register values.

I then do two tests, first I stop in the claimed frame (i.e. frame #0
is the frame that can't be unwound), I perform a few steps, and check
the backtrace.  And second, I stop in a child of the problem
frame (i.e. frame devkitPro#1 is the frame that can't be unwound), and from
here I check the backtrace.

While all this is going on I have a 'display' directive in place, and
each time GDB stops I check that the display directive triggers.

Additionally, when checking the backtrace, I am checking that the
backtrace finishes with the message 'Backtrace stopped: frame did not
save the PC'.

As for the fix I chose to add a call to frame_unwind_pc directly to
get_prev_frame_always_1.  Calling frame_unwind_pc will cache the
unwound $pc value, so this doesn't add much additional work as
immediately after the new frame_unwind_pc call, we call
get_prev_frame_maybe_check_cycle, which actually generates the
previous frame, which will always (I think) require a call to
frame_unwind_pc anyway.

The reason for adding the frame_unwind_pc call into
get_prev_frame_always_1, is that if the frame_unwind_pc call fails we
want to set the frames 'stop_reason', and get_prev_frame_always_1
seems to be the place where this is done, so I wanted to keep the new
stop_reason setting code next to all the existing stop_reason setting
code.

Additionally, once we enter get_prev_frame_maybe_check_cycle we
actually create the previous frame, then, if it turns out that the
previous frame can't be created we need to remove the frame .. this
seemed more complex than just making the check in
get_prev_frame_always_1.

With this fix in place the original S390 bug is fixed, and also the
test added in this commit, that uses the Python API, is also fixed.

Currently, when a user tries to create such a breakpoint, then GDB

  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.

The precise error depends on the exact thread state; so there's race
conditions depending on which threads have fully started, and which
have not.  But the underlying problem is always the same; when GDB
tries to execute the inferior function call from within the breakpoint
condition, GDB will, incorrectly, try to resume threads that are
already running - GDB doesn't realise that some threads might already
be running.

The solution proposed in this patch requires an additional member
variable thread_info::in_cond_eval.  This flag is set to true (in
breakpoint.c) when GDB is evaluating a breakpoint condition.

In user_visible_resume_ptid (infrun.c), when the in_cond_eval flag is
true, then GDB will only try to resume the current thread, that is,
the thread for which the breakpoint condition is being evaluated.
This solves the problem of GDB trying to resume threads that are
already running.

The next problem is that inferior function calls are assumed to be
synchronous, that is, GDB doesn't expect to start an inferior function
call in thread devkitPro#1, then receive a stop from thread devkitPro#2 for some other,
unrelated reason.  To prevent GDB responding to an event from another
thread, we update fetch_inferior_event and do_target_wait in infrun.c,
so that, when an inferior function call (on behalf of a breakpoint
condition) is in progress, we only wait for events from the current
thread (the one evaluating the condition).

In do_target_wait I had to change the inferior_matches lambda
function, which is used to select which inferior to wait on.
Previously the logic was this:

   auto inferior_matches = [&wait_ptid] (inferior *inf)
     {
       return (inf->process_target () != nullptr
               && ptid_t (inf->pid).matches (wait_ptid));
     };

This compares the pid of the inferior against the complete ptid we
want to wait on.  Before this commit wait_ptid was only ever
minus_one_ptid (which is special, and means any process), and so every
inferior would match.

After this commit though wait_ptid might represent a specific thread
in a specific inferior.  If we compare the pid of the inferior to a
specific ptid then these will not match.  The fix is to compare
against the pid extracted from the wait_ptid, not against the complete
wait_ptid itself.

In fetch_inferior_event, after receiving the event, we only want to
stop all the other threads, and call inferior_event_handler with
INF_EXEC_COMPLETE, if we are not evaluating a conditional breakpoint.
If we are, then all the other threads should be left doing whatever
they were before.  The inferior_event_handler call will be performed
once the breakpoint condition has finished being evaluated, and GDB
decides to stop or not.

The final problem that needs solving relates to GDB's commit-resume
mechanism, which allows GDB to collect resume requests into a single
packet in order to reduce traffic to a remote target.

The problem is that the commit-resume mechanism will not send any
resume requests for an inferior if there are already events pending on
the GDB side.

Imagine an inferior with two threads.  Both threads hit a breakpoint,
maybe the same conditional breakpoint.  At this point there are two
pending events, one for each thread.

GDB selects one of the events and spots that this is a conditional
breakpoint, GDB evaluates the condition.

The condition includes an inferior function call, so GDB sets up for
the call and resumes the one thread, the resume request is added to
the commit-resume queue.

When the commit-resume queue is committed GDB sees that there is a
pending event from another thread, and so doesn't send any resume
requests to the actual target, GDB is assuming that when we wait we
will select the event from the other thread.

However, as this is an inferior function call for a condition
evaluation, we will not select the event from the other thread, we
only care about events from the thread that is evaluating the
condition - and the resume for this thread was never sent to the
target.

And so, GDB hangs, waiting for an event from a thread that was never
fully resumed.

To fix this issue I have added the concept of "forcing" the
commit-resume queue.  When enabling commit resume, if the force flag
is true, then any resumes will be committed to the target, even if
there are other threads with pending events.

A note on authorship: this patch was based on some work done by
Natalia Saiapova and Tankut Baris Aktemur from Intel[1].  I have made
some changes to their work in this version.

The problem is that the test-case expects to see start_thread:
...
	gdb_test "thread apply all bt" ".*sleep.*start_thread.*" \
	    "$threadtype: attach2 to stopped bt"
...
but lack of symbols makes that impossible.

Fix this by allowing " in ?? () from " as well.

After installing glibc debuginfo, I ran into:
...
FAIL: gdb.threads/threadcrash.exp: test_live_inferior: \

This happens because the clause:

...
which is intended to match only:
...
 devkitPro#1  <hex> in main () at threadcrash.c:423^M

also matches "remaining" in:

Fix this by checking for "in main" instead.

The abort happens because a c++ exception escapes to c code, specifically
opncls_bstat in bfd/opncls.c.  Compiling with -fexceptions works around this.

Fix this by catching the exception just before it escapes, in stat_trampoline
and likewise in few similar spot.

Add a new template catch_exceptions to do so in a consistent way.

Tested on aarch64-linux.

It's happening because cooked_index_worker::wait always returns true in
this case, which tells cooked_index::wait it can delete the m_state
cooked_index_worker member, but cooked_index_worker::write_to_cache tries
to access it immediately afterwards.

Fixed by making cooked_index_worker::wait only return true if desired_state
is CACHE_DONE, same as if threading was enabled, so m_state will not be
prematurely deleted.
