x86: make sure all PUSH/POP honor DefaultSize

x86: drop some stray/bogus DefaultSize
Insns permitting only GPR operands (and hence implicit sizing when
there's no suffix) don't ever have their DefaultSize attribute
inspected, so it shouldn't be there in the first place.
Additionally XBEGIN is like JMP, not CALL, and hence shouldn't be
converted to 32-bit operand size in .code16gcc mode. While the same is
true for SYSRET, it permitting more than one suffix makes it FLDENV-
like, and hence rather than dropping the attribute, for now add it to
the exclusion list to avoid it getting an operand size prefix emitted
in .code16gcc mode. (This will be dealt with later, perhaps together
with FLDENV and friends.)

PR25230, addr2line fails on dwz output
This patch remedies the following DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt related problem:

Without the correct CU the wrong abbrevs are used, resulting in

There is scope for further work here. Parsing of CUs should be a two
step process, with the first stage just finding the bounds of the CU.
This would allow find_abstract_instance to quickly find the CU
referenced by DW_FORM_ref_addr or DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt, then take the
second stage of CU parsing where abbrevs, ranges and suchlike consume

gdb/fortran: array stride support
Currently GDB supports a byte or bit stride on arrays, in DWARF this
would be DW_AT_bit_stride or DW_AT_byte_stride on DW_TAG_array_type.
However, DWARF can also support DW_AT_byte_stride or DW_AT_bit_stride
on DW_TAG_subrange_type, the tag used to describe each dimension of an
array.
Strides on subranges are used by gFortran to represent Fortran arrays,
and this commit adds support for this to GDB.
I've extended the range_bounds struct to include the stride
information. The name is possibly a little inaccurate now, but this
still sort of makes sense, the structure represents information about
the bounds of the range, and also how to move from the lower to the
upper bound (the stride).
I've added initial support for bit strides, but I've never actually
seen an example of this being generated. Further, I don't really see
right now how GDB would currently handle a bit stride that was not a
multiple of the byte size as the code in, for example,
valarith.c:value_subscripted_rvalue seems geared around byte
addressing. As a consequence if we see a bit stride that is not a

binutils: Be more forgiving of targets with large numbers of registers
Currently if a target has a large ( > 1024 ) number of registers then
we get a warning when dumping the DWARF whenever a register over the
1024 limit is referenced, this occurs in dwarf.c:frame_need_space.
This check was initially introduced to guard against corrupted DWARF
referencing stupidly large numbers of registers.
The frame_need_space function already has a check in place so that, if
a target specifies a set of known DWARF register names then we must
only reference a register within this set, it is only after this check
that we check for the 1024 limit.
What this means is that if a target DOES NOT define a set of known
register names and if we reference more than 1024 registers
frame_need_space will give a warning.
If a target DOES define a set of known registers and there are more
than 1024 defined registers, and we try to reference a register beyond
1024 we will again get an error.
This second case feels wrong to me. My thinking is that if a target
defines a set of registers then it is not unreasonable to assume the
tools can cope with that number of registers. And so, if the target
defines 2000 named DWARF registers, frame_need_space should allow
access to all of these registers.
If a target does not define a set of named registers then the 1024
limit should remain. This is pretty arbitrary, but we do need to have
some limit in place I think, so for now that seems as good as any.
This is an entirely theoretical fix - there are no targets that define
such large numbers of registers, but while experimenting with adding
support for RISC-V CSRs I ran into this issue and felt like it was a
good improvement.

gdb/testsuite: Fix race condition compiling fortran test
The Fortran test gdb.fortran/info-modules compiles the files
info-types.f90 and info-types-2.f90 in that order. Unfortunately
info-types.f90 makes use of a module defined in info-types-2.f90.
This currently doesn't cause a problem if you run all of the Fortran
tests as the info-types.exp test already compiles info-types-2.f90 and
so the module description file 'mod2.mod' will be created, and can
then be found by info-modules.exp during its compile.
If however you try to run just info-modules.exp in a clean build
directory, the test will fail to compile.
Fix this by compiling the source files in the reverse order so that
the module is compiled first, then the test program that uses the
module.

* gdb.fortran/info-modules.exp: Compile source files in correct
order.

Fix BZ 25065 - Ensure that physnames are computed for inherited DIEs
This is a fix for BZ 25065.
GDB segfaults when running either gdb.cp/subtypes.exp or
gdb.cp/local.exp in conjunction with using the -flto compiler/linker
flag.
A much simpler program, which was used to help create the test for
this fix, is:
-- doit.cc --
int main()
{
class Foo {
public:
int doit ()
{
return 0;
}
};
Foo foo;
return foo.doit ();
}
-- end doit.cc --
gcc -o doit -flto -g doit.cc
gdb -q doit
Reading symbols from doit...
(gdb) ptype main::Foo
type = class Foo {
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The segfault occurs due to a NULL physname in
c_type_print_base_struct_union in c-typeprint.c. Specifically,
calling is_constructor_name() eventually causes the SIGSEGV is this
code in c-typeprint.c:
However, looking at compute_delayed_physnames(), we see that
the TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME field should never be NULL. This
field will be set to "" for NULL physnames:
For this particular case, it turns out that compute_delayed_physnames
wasn't being called, which left TYPE_FN_FIELD_PHYSNAME set to the NULL
value that it started with when that data structure was allocated.
The place to fix it, I think, is towards the end of
inherit_abstract_dies().
My first attempt at fix caused the origin CU's method_list (which is
simply the list of methods whose physnames still need to be computed)
to be added to the CU which is doing the inheriting. One drawback
with this approach is that compute_delayed_physnames is (eventually)
called with a CU that's different than the CU in which the methods
were found. It's not clear whether this will cause problems or not.
A safer approach, which is what I ultimately settled on, is to call
compute_delayed_physnames() from inherit_abstract_dies(). One
potential drawback is that all needed types might not be known at that
point. However, in my testing, I haven't seen a problem along these
lines.

The problem seems to be created by gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter () releasing the GIL lock
too early:
~gdbpy_enter () does:
...
PyGILState_Release (m_state);
python_gdbarch = m_gdbarch;
python_language = m_language;
restore_active_ext_lang (m_previous_active);
}
So, it releases the GIL lock, does 2 assignments and then leads to the following
call sequence:
restore_active_ext_lang => check_quit_flag => python.c gdbpy_check_quit_flag
=> PyOS_InterruptOccurred => is_main.
is_main code is:
static int
is_main(_PyRuntimeState *runtime)
{
unsigned long thread = PyThread_get_thread_ident();
PyInterpreterState *interp = _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(runtime)->interp;
return (thread == runtime->main_thread
&& interp == runtime->interpreters.main);
}
The macros and functions to access the thread state are documented as:
/* Variable and macro for in-line access to current thread
and interpreter state */
Efficient macro reading directly the 'gilstate.tstate_current' atomic
variable. The macro is unsafe: it does not check for error and it can
return NULL.
The caller must hold the GIL.
See also PyThreadState_Get() and PyThreadState_GET(). */
#define _PyThreadState_GET() _PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState(&_PyRuntime)
So, we see that GDB releases the GIL and then potentially calls
_PyRuntimeState_GetThreadState that needs the GIL.
It is not very clear why the problem is only observed when running under
Valgrind. Probably caused by the slowdown due to Valgrind and/or to the 'single
thread' scheduling by Valgrind.
This patch fixes the crashes by releasing the GIT lock later.

* python/python.c (gdbpy_enter::~gdbpy_enter): Release GIL after
restore_active_ext_lang, as GIL is needed for (indirectly)
called PyOS_InterruptOccurred.
Indeed, the declaration is not in sync with the definition, fix that.
sparc_xfer_wcookie is used in sparc_target::xfer_partial. sparc_target
is only used in the BSD sparc native files. The error above was
obtained by running "make sparc-nat.o" on Linux with a cross-compiler
for sparc64-linux-gnu. But I presume that if we were to build for real
with a BSD/sparc compiler, we would end up with an undefined symbol.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* sparc-nat.c (sparc_xfer_wcookie): Sync declaration with
definition.

Remove simulator_command declaration, make static
The simulator_command function is not used outside its file, so make it
static. Remove the declaration, which is not needed and not even in
sync with the definition.
gdb/ChangeLog:

declaration.

Remove declaration of tui_set_var_cmd, make definition static
The declaration of tui_set_var_cmd is not in sync with the definition.
Since tui_set_var_cmd is only used in the file where it's defined,
remove the declaration and make the definition static.

Remove info_terminal_command declaration, make definition static
The info_terminal_command declaration in inflow.h does not match the
current definition. It is not needed anyway, as info_terminal_command

* inferior.h (info_terminal_command): Remove declaration.

Include aarch32-tdep.h in aarch32-tdep.c
The error below shows that aarch32-tdep.c is missing an include for
aarch32-tdep.h, add it.
CXX aarch32-tdep.o
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/aarch32-tdep.c: In function ‘const target_desc* aarch32_read_description()’:

aarch32_read_description ()
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Putting the include of aarch32-tdep.h early in aarch32-tdep.c gives us
an error about target_desc not being defined. Indeed, aarch32-tdep.h
uses target_desc without forward-declaring it or including the proper
header. Add a forward-declaration for it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch32-tdep.c: Include aarch32-tdep.h.
* aarch32-tdep.h: Forward-declare struct target_desc.
Use safe_strerror instead of strerror where possible
This provides threadsafety. Unfortunately, since libinproctrace.so
does not link to gnulib, we can't use it there, especially since it
still includes the gnulib headers (so it is difficult to directly
call the system strerror_r).
