Improve choice sorting in ada-lang.c
ada-lang.c has a "sort_choices" function that claims to sort the
symbol choices, but which does not really implement sorting. This
patch changes this code to really sort the result vector, sorting
first by filename, then line number, and finally by the symbol name.
The filename sorting is done first by comparing basenames. It turns
out that gnatmake and gprbuild invoke the compiler a bit differently,
so depending on which one you use, the results of a naive sort might
be different (due to the use of absolute or relative paths).

gdb/python: fix reference leak in gdb.BreakpointLocation.thread_groups
While reviewing another patch which uses PyList_Append I took a look
at our other uses of PyList_Append in GDB. I spotted something odd
about the use in bplocpy_get_thread_groups.
We do:
gdbpy_ref<> num = gdb_py_object_from_ulongest (inf->num);
At which point `num` will own a reference to the `int` object. But
when we add the object to the result list we do:
if (PyList_Append (list.get (), num.release ()) != 0)
return nullptr;
By calling `release` we pass ownership of the reference to
PyList_Append, however, PyList_Append acquires its own reference, it
doesn't take ownership of an existing reference.
The consequence of this is that we leak the reference held in `num`.
This mostly isn't a problem though. For small (< 257) integers Python
keeps a single instance of each and just hands out new references. By
leaking the references, these small integers will not be cleaned up as
the Python interpreter shuts down, but that is only done when GDB
exits, so hardly a disaster. As we're dealing with GDB's internal
inferior number here, unless the user has 257+ inferiors, we'll not
actually be leaking memory.
Still, lets do things right. Switch to using `num.get ()`. Now when
`num` goes out of scope it will decrement the reference count as
needed.

LAM: Enable tagged pointer support for watchpoints.
The Intel (R) linear address masking (LAM) feature modifies the checking
applied to 64-bit linear addresses. With this so-called "modified
canonicality check" the processor masks the metadata bits in a pointer
before using it as a linear address. LAM supports two different modes that
differ regarding which pointer bits are masked and can be used for
metadata: LAM 48 resulting in a LAM width of 15 and LAM 57 resulting in a
LAM width of 6.
This patch adjusts watchpoint addresses based on the currently enabled
LAM mode using the untag mask provided in the /proc/<pid>/status file.
As LAM can be enabled at runtime or as the configuration may change
when entering an enclave, GDB checks enablement state each time a watchpoint
is updated.
In contrast to the patch implemented for ARM's Top Byte Ignore "Clear
non-significant bits of address on memory access", it is not necessary to
adjust addresses before they are passed to the target layer cache, as
for LAM tagged pointers are supported by the system call to read memory.
Additionally, LAM applies only to addresses used for data accesses.
Thus, it is sufficient to mask addresses used for watchpoints.
The following examples are based on a LAM57 enabled program.
Before this patch tagged pointers were not supported for watchpoints:
~~~
(gdb) print pi_tagged
$2 = (int *) 0x10007ffffffffe004
(gdb) watch *pi_tagged
Hardware watchpoint 2: *pi_tagged
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Couldn't write debug register: Invalid argument.
~~~~
Once LAM 48 or LAM 57 is enabled for the current program, GDB can now
specify watchpoints for tagged addresses with LAM width 15 or 6,
respectively.
Approved-By: Felix Willgerodt <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>
The gdbarch function gdbarch_remove_non_address_bits adjusts addresses to
enable debugging of programs with tagged pointers on Linux, for instance for
ARM's feature top byte ignore (TBI).
Once the function is implemented for an architecture, it adjusts addresses for
memory access, breakpoints and watchpoints.
Linear address masking (LAM) is Intel's (R) implementation of tagged
pointer support. It requires certain adaptions to GDB's tagged pointer
support due to the following:
- LAM supports address tagging for data accesses only. Thus, specifying
breakpoints on tagged addresses is not a valid use case.
- In contrast to the implementation for ARM's TBI, the Linux kernel supports
tagged pointers for memory access.
This patch makes GDB's tagged pointer support configurable such that it is
possible to enable the address adjustment for a specific feature only (e.g
memory access, breakpoints or watchpoints). This way, one can make sure
that addresses are only adjusted when necessary. In case of LAM, this
avoids unnecessary parsing of the /proc/<pid>/status file to get the
untag mask.

gdb: Update linkage name lookup function to allow mst_file_data/bss types.
From the commit 667ed4b14ddaa9af196481f1757c0e517e80b6ed onward, instead
of normal name GDB looks for the "jit_descriptor" linkage name in the JIT
code initialization. Without this change, the function
"lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage", only matches the non-static data. So in
case jit_debugger is static type then setting up breakpoint in the JIT code
fails. Issue is seen for the intel compilers, where jit_debug_descriptor has
static type i.e. "mst_file_data". Hence lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage returns
nullptr for it. So, in this case breakpoint does not hit in the JIT code.
To resolve this, the commit introduces a new boolean argument to the
lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage function. This argument allows the function to
also match mst_file_data and mst_file_bss types when set to true. The
function is called with this new argument set to true only from JIT code
initialization handling, ensuring that the current behavior remains unchanged
for other cases. Because handling of static types of data symbols for all cases
result in regression for "gdb.base/print-file-var.exp" test.
Example of minsym for the JIT code emitted by the intel compilers where
lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage fails without this change because jit_debugger
type is "mst_file_data".

Improvements to gdb.LazyString documentation
I noticed the gdb.LazyString documentation did not mention how to
create one. Then, while adding this, I found a couple other ways that
this documentation could be clarified.
For gcc 7.x and older, without the -gstatement-frontiers work, the
compiler uses DW_AT_entry_pc differently, which leads to a poorer
debug experience.
Here is the interesting source line from inline-entry.c:
if ((global && bar (1)) || bar (2))
And here's some of the relevant disassembly output:
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x401020 <+0>: mov 0x3006(%rip),%eax (1)
0x401026 <+6>: test %eax,%eax (2)

0x401030 <+16>: sub $0x1,%eax (5)
0x401033 <+19>: jne 0x40103d <main+29> (6)
Lines (1), (2), and (4) represent the check of 'global'. However,
line (3) is actually the first instruction for 'bar' which has been
inlined. Lines (5) and (6) are also part of the first inlined 'bar'
function.
If the check of 'global' returns false then the first call to 'bar'
should never happen, this is accomplished by the branch at (4) being
taken.
For gcc 8+, gcc generates a DW_AT_entry_pc with the value 0x401030,
this is where GDB places a breakpoint for 'bar', and this address is
after the branch at line (4), and so, if the call to 'bar' never
happens, the breakpoint is never hit.
For gcc 7 and older, gcc generates a DW_AT_entry_pc with the value
0x401028, which is the first address associated with the inline 'bar'
function. Unfortunately, this address is also before the check of
'global' has completed, this means that GDB hits the 'bar' breakpoint
before the inferior has decided if 'bar' should actually be called or
not.
I don't think there's really much GDB can do in the older gcc
versions, we are placing the breakpoint at the entry point, and this
is within bar. Given that this test does really depend on the newer
gcc behaviour, I think the only sensible solution is to skip this test
when an older version of gcc is being used.
I've incorporated the check for -gstatement-frontiers support that
Bernd suggested and now the test will be skipped for older versions of
GCC.

The optional QUALIFIED argument is a boolean that allows

Linespec Locations:: and *note Explicit Locations::).
It's not totally clear that the only valid values are True or False,

PyBool_Type check during argument parsing. Now, if a non-bool is
passed the user will get a TypeError during argument parsing. I've

this attribute should only be assigned a bool:
This attribute is read-write, setting this attribute to 'False'

So I propose that instead of using PyObject_IsTrue we use

Building on the previous two commits, I was auditing our uses of
PyObject_IsTrue looking for places where we were missing an error

The gdb.Architecture.integer_type() function takes a 'signed' argument
which should be a 'bool', and the docs do say:
If SIGNED is not specified, it defaults to 'True'. If SIGNED is
'False', the returned type will be unsigned.
Currently we use PyObject_IsTrue, but we are missing an error check.
To fix this I've tightened the code to enforce the bool requirement at
the point that the arguments are parsed. With that done I can remove
the call to PyObject_IsTrue and instead compare to Py_True directly,
the object in question will always be a PyBool_Type.
However, we were testing that passing a non-bool argument for 'signed'
is treated as Py_False, this was added with this commit:
gdb/python: don't use the 'p' format for parsing args
which is when the PyObject_IsTrue call was added. Given that the docs
do seem pretty clear that only True or False are suitable argument
values, my proposal is that we just remove these tests and instead
test that any non-bool argument value for 'signed' gives a TypeError.
This is a breaking change to the Python API, however, my hope is that
this is such a edge case that it will not cause too many problem.

And I have written the stand alone test for this issue. The original
patch included this paragraph to explain this change (I've fixed one
typo in this text replacing 'program' with 'function'):
... it may happen that the infrun machinery steps from one inline
range to another inline range of the same inline function. That can
look like jumping back and forth from the calling function to the
inline function, while really the inline function just jumps from a
hot to a cold section of the code, i.e. error handling.
The important thing that happens here is that both the outer function
and the inline function must both have multiple ranges. When the
inferior is within the inline function and moves from one range to
another it is critical that the address we stop at is the start of a
range in both the outer function and the inline function.
The diagram below represents how the functions are split and aligned:
(A) (B)
bar: |------------| |---|
foo: |------------------| |--------|
The inferior is stepping through 'bar' and eventually reaches
point (A) at which point control passes to point (B).
Currently, when the inferior stops, GDB notices that both 'foo' and
'bar' start at address (B), and so GDB uses the inline frame mechanism
to skip 'bar' and tells the user that the inferior is in 'foo'.
However, as we were in 'bar' before the step then it makes sense that
we should be in 'bar' after the step, and this is what the patch does.
There are two tests using the DWARF assembler, the first checks the
above situation and ensures that GDB reports 'bar' after the step.
The second test is similar, but after the step we enter a new range
where a different inline function starts, something like this:
(A) (B)
bar: |------------|
baz: |---|
foo: |------------------| |--------|
In this case as we step at (A) and land at (B) we leave 'bar' and
expect to stop in 'foo', GDB shouldn't automatically enter 'baz' as
that is a completely different inline function. And this is, indeed,
what we see.

gdb: fix handling of DW_AT_entry_pc of inlined subroutines
The entry PC for a DIE, e.g. an inline function, might not be the base
address of the DIE. Currently though, in block::entry_pc(), GDB
always returns the base address (low-pc or the first address of the
first range) as the entry PC.
This commit extends the block class to carry the entry PC as a
separate member variable. Then the DWARF reader is extended to read
and set the entry PC for the block. Now in block::entry_pc(), if the
entry PC has been set, this is the value returned.
If the entry-pc has not been set to a specific value then the old
behaviour of block::entry_pc() remains, GDB will use the block's base
address. Not every DIE will set the entry-pc, but GDB still needs to
have an entry-pc for every block, so the existing logic supplies the
entry-pc for any block where the entry-pc was not set.
The DWARF-5 spec for reading the entry PC is a super-set of the spec
as found in DWARF-4. For example, if there is no DW_AT_entry_pc then
DWARF-4 says to use DW_AT_low_pc while DWARF-5 says to use the base
address, which is DW_AT_low_pc or the first address in the first range
specified by DW_AT_ranges if there is no DW_AT_low_pc.
I have taken the approach of just implementing the DWARF-5 spec for
everyone. There doesn't seem to be any benefit to deliberately
ignoring a ranges based entry PC value for DWARF-4. If some naughty
compiler has emitted that, then lets use it.
Similarly, DWARF-4 says that DW_AT_entry_pc is an address. DWARF-5
allows an address or a constant, where the constant is an offset from
the base address. I allow both approaches for all DWARF versions.
There doesn't seem to be any downsides to this approach.
I ran into an issue when testing this patch where GCC would have the
DW_AT_entry_pc point to an empty range. When GDB parses the ranges
any empty ranges are ignored. As a consequence, the entry-pc appears
to be outside the address range of a block.
The empty range problem is certainly something that we can, and should
address, but that is not the focus of this patch, so for now I'm
ignoring that problem. What I have done is added a check: if the
DW_AT_entry_pc is outside the range of a block then the entry-pc is
ignored, GDB will then fall-back to its default algorithm for
computing the entry-pc.
If/when in the future we address the empty range problem, these
DW_AT_entry_pc attributes will suddenly become valid and GDB will
start using them. Until then, GDB continues to operate as it always
has.
An early version of this patch stored the entry-pc within the block
like this:
std::optional<CORE_ADDR> m_entry_pc;
However, a concern was raised that this, on a 64-bit host, effectively
increases the size of block by 16-bytes (8-bytes for the CORE_ADDR,
and 8-bytes for the std::optional's bool plus padding).
If we remove the std::optional part and just use a CORE_ADDR then we
need to have a "special" address to indicate if m_entry_pc is in use
or not. I don't really like using special addresses; different
targets can access different address ranges, even zero is a valid
address on some targets.
However, Bernd Edlinger suggested storing the entry-pc as an offset,
and I think that will resolve my concerns. So, we store the entry-pc
as a signed offset from the block's base address (the first address of
the first range, or the start() address value if there are now
ranges). Remember, ranges can be out of order, in which case the
first address of the first range might be greater than the entry-pc.
When GDB needs to read the entry-pc we can add the offset onto the
blocks base address to recalculate it.
With this done, on a 64-bit host, block only needs to increase by
8-bytes.
The inline-entry.exp test was originally contributed by Bernd here:
though I have made some edits, making more use of lib/gdb.exp
functions, making the gdb_test output patterns a little tighter, and
updating the test to run with Clang. I also moved the test to
gdb.opt/ as that seemed like a better home for it.

gdb/testsuite: some cleanups in gdb.base/annota{1,3}.exp tests
Fedora GDB has, for years, carried an out of tree patch for the
gdb.base/annota{1,3}.exp tests. The patch simply adds a call to 'set
breakpoint pending off' near the start of each test.
Normally GDB tests are written using gdb_test or gdb_test_multiple,
with gdb_test being a wrapper around gdb_test_multiple. Inside
gdb_test_multiple we add a test pattern which detects if GDB offers
the user an interactive yes/no prompt and immediately fails the test.
What this means is that if something goes wrong with a test like:
gdb_test "break main" ".*"
and GDB ends up offering this prompt:
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
then instead of hanging waiting for the test to timeout, DejaGNU will
spot the interactive prompt and immediately fail the test.
In the gdb.base/annota{1,3}.exp tests we turn on GDB's annotation
mode, and many of the tests in these scripts are written using
send_gdb and gdb_expect or gdb_expect_list. This is done because in
the past, gdb_test_multiple and friends were hard-coded to use the
"normal" GDB prompt, and these tests instead expect the annotated
prompt. Specifically, gdb_test_multiple expects '$gdb_prompt $' as
the full prompt, that is the value of $gdb_prompt followed by a single
white space. The annotation tests do update the value of $gdb_prompt,
but with annotations on there is no trailing whitespace, so
gdb_test_multiple's default behaviour doesn't work, which is why the
test scripts originally avoided using gdb_test_multiple.
As a result none of the tests in these files would early exit if we
got an interactive yes/no prompt, and instead we'd be relying on each
test to timeout, which could take a while.
However, gdb_test_multiple now accepts a -prompt argument, so we can
modify the prompt we are looking for, which is neat.
So, I started off by going through these tests an changing all of the
tests that create a breakpoint to use gdb_test, passing the -prompt
option to change the prompt.
While doing that I noticed some other things that I could improve in
these tests, I've cleaned up the use of standard_testfile, switched to
use prepare_for_testing, and removed some redundant clean_restart and
'set height 0' calls (set height 0 is done within clean_restart, which
is called by prepare_for_testing).
I've updated some comments which said "we can't use gdb_test" to say
"we can use gdb_test with -prompt option", and I've removed some
commented out debug code (e.g. setting 'exp_internal').
Finally, I ran these two tests through check-all-boards, and spotted
that annota1.exp failed when using a remote host. This is because one
test checks for a full path to the binary in some output, and with a
remote host the binary ends up being copied and the path is not as
expected.
I'm assuming that checking the full path is important, so I've
disabled this test on remote host boards.
After all these changes I checked using 'make check-all-boards' and
there are no unexpected results on either of these tests.

gdb/readline: don't get stuck thinking an EOF arrived
It was brought to my attention[1] that if a user makes use of Ctrl+d

for the 'commands' command) then GDB will start displaying some
unexpected blank lines. Here's an example:
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...

Breakpoint 1 at 0x401198: file hello.c, line 18.
(gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 1, one per line.

>quit # <----------- Use Ctrl+d to quit here.
(gdb) show architecture
# <----------- This blank line is unexpected.
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386:x86-64").
(gdb)
I've marked up where I press 'Ctrl+d', and also the unexpected blank
line.
This issue will only happen if bracketed-paste-mode is in use. If
this has been disabled (e.g. in ~/.inputrc) then this issue will not
occur.
The blank line is not just emitted for the 'show architecture'
command. The blank line is actually caused by an extra '\n' character
emitted by readline after it has gathered a complete line of input,
and so will occur for any command.
The problem is caused by readline getting "stuck" in a state where it
thinks that an EOF has just been delivered. This state is set when
the 'Ctrl+d' does deliver an EOF, but then this state is never fully
reset. As a result, every time readline completes a line, it thinks
that the line was completed due to an EOF and so adds an extra '\n'
character.
Obviously the real fix for this issue is to patch readline, and I do
have a patch for that[2], however, version 8.2 of readline has been
released, and contains this issue. As such, if GDB is linked against
the system readline, and that system readline is 8.2, then we can
expect to see this issue.
There's a pretty simple, and cheap workaround that we can add to GDB
that will mitigate this issue.
I propose that we add this workaround to GDB. If/when the readline
patch is accepted then I'll back-port this to our local readline copy,
but retaining the workaround will be harmless, and will make GDB play
nicer with system readline libraries (version 8.2).

The information about static readline vs shared readline can be

gdbserver: pass osabi to GDB in more target descriptions
Problem Description
-------------------
On a Windows machine I built gdbserver, configured for the target
'x86_64-w64-mingw32', then on a GNU/Linux machine I built GDB with
support for all target (--enable-targets=all).
On the Windows machine I start gdbserver with a small test binary:
On the GNU/Linux machine I start GDB without the test binary, and
connect to gdbserver.
As I have not given GDB the test binary, my expectation is that GDB
would connect to gdbserver and then download the file over the remote
protocol, but instead I was presented with this message:
(gdb) target remote 192.168.129.25:54321

What I found is that if I told GDB where to find the binary, like
this:
(gdb) file target:C:/some/directory/executable.exe
A program is being debugged already.
Are you sure you want to change the file? (y or n) y

Reading C:/some/directory/executable.exe from remote target...
Reading symbols from target:C:/some/directory/executable.exe...
(gdb)
then GDB would download the executable.
The Actual Issue
----------------
I tracked the problem down to exec_file_find (solib.c). The remote
target was passing an absolute Windows filename (beginning with "C:/"
in this case), but in exec_file_find GDB was failing the
IS_TARGET_ABSOLUTE_PATH call, and so was treating the filename as
relative.
The IS_TARGET_ABSOLUTE_PATH call was failing because GDB thought that
the file system kind was "unix", and as the filename didn't start with
a "/" it assumed the filename was not absolute.
But I'm connecting to a Windows target and 'target-file-system-kind'
was set to "auto", so GDB should be figuring out that the target
file-system is "dos-based".
Looking in effective_target_file_system_kind (filesystem.c), we find
that the logic of "auto" is delegated to the current gdbarch. However
in windows-tdep.c we see:
So if we are using a Windows gdbarch we should have "dos-based"
filesystems. What this means is that after connecting to the remote
target GDB has selected the wrong gdbarch.
What's happening is that the target description sent back by the
remote target only includes the x86-64 registers. There's no
information about which OS we're on. As a consequence, GDB picks the
first x86-64 gdbarch which can handle the provided register set, which
happens to be a GNU/Linux gdbarch.
And indeed, there doesn't appear to be anywhere in gdbserver that sets
the osabi on the target descriptions. Some target descriptions do have
their osabi set when the description is created, e.g. in:
gdb/arch/amd64.c - Sets GNU/Linux osabi when appropriate.
gdb/arch/i386.c - Likewise.
gdb/arch/tic6x.c - Always set GNU/Linux osabi.
There are also some cases in gdb/features/*.c where the tdesc is set,
but these locations are only called from GDB, not from gdbserver.
This means that many target descriptions are created without an osabi,
gdbserver does nothing to fix this, and the description is returned to
GDB without an osabi included. This leaves GDB having to guess what
the target osabi is, and in some cases, GDB can get this wrong.
Proposed Solution
-----------------
I propose to change init_target_desc so that it requires an gdb_osabi
to be passed in, this will then be used to set the target_desc osabi
field.
I believe that within gdbserver init_target_desc is called for every
target_desc, so this should mean that every target_desc has an
opportunity to set the osabi to something sane.
I did consider passing the osabi into the code which creates the
target_desc objects, but that would require updating far more code, as
each target has its own code for creating target descriptions.
The approach taken here requires minimal changes and forces every
user of init_target_desc to think about what the correct osabi is.
In some cases, e.g. amd64, where the osabi is already set when the
target_desc is created, the init_target_desc call will override the
current value, however, we should always be replacing it with the same
actual value. i.e. if the target_desc is created with the osabi set
to GNU/Linux, then this should only happen when gdbserver is built for
GNU/Linux, in which case the init_target_desc should also be setting
the osabi to GNU/Linux.
The Tricky Bits
---------------
Some targets, like amd64, use a features based approach for creating
target_desc objects, there's a function in arch/amd64.c which creates
a target_desc, adds features too it, and returns the new target_desc.
This target_desc is then passed to an init_target_desc call within
gdbserver. This is the easy case to handle.
Then there are other targets which instead have a fixed set of xml
files, each of which is converted into a .dat file, which is then used
to generate a .cc file, which is compiled into gdbserver. The
generated .cc file creates the target_desc object and calls
init_target_desc on it. In this case though the target description
that is sent to GDB isn't generated from the target_desc object, but
is instead the contents of the fixed xml file. For this case the
osabi which we pass to init_target_desc should match the osabi that
exists in the fixed xml file.
Luckily, in the previous commit I copied the osabi information from
the fixed xml files into the .dat files. So in this commit I have
extended regdat.sh to read the osabi from the .dat file and use it in
the generated init_target_desc call.
The problem with some of these .dat base targets is that their fixed
xml files don't currently contain any osabi information, and the file
names don't indicate that they are Linux only (despite them currently
only being used from gdbserver for Linux targets), so I don't
currently feel confident adding any osabi information to these files.
An example would be features/rs6000/powerpc-64.xml. For now I've just
ignored these cases. The init_target_desc will use GDB_OSABI_UNKNOWN
which is the default. This means that for these targets nothing
changes from the current behaviour. But many other targets do now
pass the osabi back. Targets that do pass the osabi back are
improved with this commit.
Conclusion
----------
Now when I connect to the Windows remote the target description
returned includes the osabi name. With this extra information GDB
selects the correct gdbarch object, which means that GDB understands
the target has a "dos-based" file-system. With that correct GDB
understands that the filename it was given is absolute, and so fetches
the file from the remote as we'd like.

gdb/regformats: add osabi information to generated .dat files
Some gdbserver targets generate their target description based on the
gdb/regformats/*.dat files. These .dat files are generated from a
matching xml file in gdb/features/.
Lets consider a concrete example:
Take gdb/features/or1k-linux.xml, this file is processed by
gdb/features/Makefile to create gdb/regformats/or1k-linux.dat.
When gdbserver is built for the or1k target the file
or1k-linux-generated.cc is generated using the
gdb/regformats/regdat.sh script. This .cc file is then compiled and
linked into gdbserver.
The or1k-linux-generated.cc file contains the function
init_registers_or1k_linux which is called from within gdbserver, this
function creates a target_desc object and sets its xmltarget field to
a fixed string. This fixed string is the xml filename that was
originally used to generate the xml file, in this case or1k-linux.xml.
Additionally, as part of the gdbserver build the file or1k-linux.xml
is converted to a string and placed in the file
xml-builtin-generated.cc which is then built into gdbserver.
Now when GDB asks gdbserver for the target description, gdbserver
returns the fixed xmltarget string, which is the name of an xml file.
GDB will then ask gdbserver for that file and gdbserver will return
the contents of that file thanks to the xml-builtin-generated.cc

This is all rather complicated, but it does work. So what's the
problem that I'm fixing?
Well or1k-linux.xml does contain the osabi information, so this will
be returned from gdbserver to GDB. That's good.
However, the target_desc object created in init_registers_or1k_linux
will not have its osabi set correctly.
Now this doesn't really matter too much except
init_registers_or1k_linux includes a call to init_target_desc.
In the next commit I want to extend init_target_desc to require an
osabi to be passed in. The motivation for this will be explained in
the next commit, but if we accept for a moment that this is something
that should be done, then the question is what osabi should we use in
init_registers_or1k_linux?
Ideally we'd use the osabi which is set in or1k-linux.xml. If we do
that then everything will remain consistent, which is a good thing.
And so, to get the osabi from or1k-linux.xml into
init_registers_or1k_linux, we first need to get the osabi information
into or1k-linux.dat file, and this is what this commit does.
I've added a new xsl script print-osabi.xsl and updated
gdb/features/Makefile to make use of this script. Then I regenerated
all of the .dat files. Now every .dat file contains either:
osabi:GNU/Linux
osabi:unknown
The first is for xml files containing <osabi>GNU/Linux</osabi> and the
second is for xml files that don't contain an osabi element.
This commit doesn't attempt to make use of the osabi information in
the .dat files, that will come in the next commit. There should be no
user visible changes after this commit.

gdb/features: set osabi in all Linux related features/*.xml files
Some of the top level (i.e. those that contain the <target> element)
xml files in gdb/features/ are clearly Linux only. I conclude this
based on the files names containing the string "linux".
I think that all of these files should have the <osabi> element
included with the value "GNU/Linux".
This commits adds the <osabi> element where I believe it is
appropriate and regenerates the associated .c files.
The benefit of this change is that gdbserver, which makes use of these
files, will now send the osabi back in more cases. Sending back more
descriptive target descriptions is a good thing as this makes it
easier for GDB to select the correct gdbarch.
gdb/record: support AVX instructions VMOVDQ(U|A) when recording
In that commit I added a few calls to the instruction vmovdqa to and
from memory addresses. Because my local gcc testing always had aligned
pointers, I thought this would always work, but clang (and maybe other
compilers) might not do the same, which will cause vmovdqa to segfault,
and the test to fail spectacularly.
This commit fixes that by using the pre-existing precise-aligned-alloc
to allocate the dynamic buffers, forcing them to be aligned to the
required boundary for vmovdqa instruction to work. The code was then
re-shuffled to keep the current clustering of instructions.

sec_merge_hash.size duplicates sec_merge_hash.table.count, albeit using

Handle type-casting in template parameter list when hashing symbols
Due to a logical bug in gdb/cp-support.c:cp_search_name_hash(), GDB
may not be able to find a symbol when asked by the user. See the
accompanying test for such demonstration.
The cp_search_name_hash() cannot correctly handle a (demangled) symbol
that comprises of type-casting for the first parameter in its template
parameter list, e.g.:
foo<(enum_test)0>(int, int)
In this example, the processing logic in cp_search_name_hash() considers
the "foo<" string for hashing instead of "foo". This is due to a faulty
logic in the processing loop that tries to _keep_ hashing if a '<' char
with the following property is encountered:
Ostensibly, this logic strives to bail out of the processing loop as
soon as the beginning of an argument list is encountered, "(int, int)"
in the example, or the beginning of a template parameter list, the
"<(enum_test)0>" in the example. However, when "string" is pointing
at '<', the following incorrect logic takes precedence:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
for (const char *string = search_name; *string != '\0'; ++string)
{
if (*string == '(')
break;
...
if (string[0] == '<' && string[1] != '(' ...)
break;
In "foo<(enum_test)0>(int, int)", the '(' char that is positioned after
the '<' char causes the "if" condition at the end of the loop not to
"break". As a result, the '<' is considered for hashing and at the
beginning of the next iteration, the loop is exited because "string"
points to '(' char.
It's obvious that the intention of the "if" condition at the end of the
loop body is to handle cases where the method name is "operator<",
"operator<<", or "operator<=". While fixing the issue, I've re-written
the logic as such to make that more explicit. Still, the complexity of
the function remains O(n). It is worth mentioning that in the same
file the "find_toplevel_char()" follows the same explicit logic.

Fix using Page-Up in TUI source window close to the top
Currently, when you're already less than a page from the top in the TUI
source window, and you press Page-Up, nothing happens, while I would
expect that it then scrolls the source up to the first line.
It's happening because scrolling a full page up would result in a
negative starting line number, which is then checked if it's higher than
the (unsigned) number of available lines, and since this will always be
true, the original starting line number is restored.
Afterwards it would check if the line number is too low, but since the
negative value was already gone, it didn't do much.
Fixed by moving the low line number check before the maximum line number
check.

gdb/testsuite: fix failure in gdb.base/info_sources.exp
I ran into an unexpected failure in gdb.base/info_sources.exp. The
test in question runs this command:
(gdb) info sources -d -- -d
That is, list all the source files whose directory name matches the
regexp '-d'. The expectation is that no source files will be listed.
Unfortunately, when I ran the test some source files are listed; the
directory I am running in contains the pattern '-d', and so the test
fails.
As we cannot control where the developer is building and testing GDB,
I propose that instead of just testing with '-d' we should search
through all the letters a-z and find one that isn't present in the
source file directory name. I'm still including the leading '-'
character in the regexp.
So now, unless GDB is being built in a directory that contains '-a',
'-b', '-c', .... '-z', the test will find one letter which isn't
present, and use that for the test.
To avoid test names changing between runs in different directories
I've had to tweak the test name to something more generic, but there
should be no change in which parts of GDB are actually being tested.
