GDBServer: give more complete usage information
--attach/--multi are currently only mentioned on the usage info first
lines, the meaning of PROG is completely absent and the COMM text does
not mention '-/stdio'.
A few options are missing:
. --disable-randomization / --no-disable-randomization is not mentioned.
Although the manual has a comment saying these are superceded by
QDisableRandomization, that only makes sense for "run" in
extended-remote mode. When we start gdbserver passing it a PROG,
--disable-randomization / --no-disable-randomization do take effect.
So I think we should document these.
. We show --debug / --remote-debug, so might as well show --disable-packet too.
GDB's --help has this "For more information, consult the GDB manual"
blurb that is missing in GDBserver's --help.
Then shuffle things around a bit into "Operating modes", "Other
options" and "Debug options" sections, similarly to GDB's --help
structure.

Start of relro segment adjustment
Adjusting the start of the relro segment in order to make it end
exactly on a page boundary runs into difficulties when sections in the
relro segment are aligned; Adjusting the start by (next_page - end)
sometimes results in more than that adjustment occurring at the end,
overrunning the page boundary. So when that occurs we try a new lower
start position by masking the adjusted start with the maximum section
alignment. However, we didn't consider that this masked start address
may in fact be before the initial relro base, which is silly since
that can only increase padding at the relro end.
I've also moved some calculations closer to where they are used, and
comments closer to the relevant statements.
* ldlang.c (lang_size_sections): When alignment of sections
results in relro base adjustment being too large, don't go lower

Implement support for checking /proc/PID/coredump_filter
This patch, as the subject says, extends GDB so that it is able to use
the contents of the file /proc/PID/coredump_filter when generating a
corefile. This file contains a bit mask that is a representation of
the different types of memory mappings in the Linux kernel; the user
can choose to dump or not dump a certain type of memory mapping by
enabling/disabling the respective bit in the bit mask. Currently,
here is what is supported:
bit 0 Dump anonymous private mappings.
bit 1 Dump anonymous shared mappings.
bit 2 Dump file-backed private mappings.
bit 3 Dump file-backed shared mappings.
bit 4 (since Linux 2.6.24)
Dump ELF headers.
bit 5 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump private huge pages.
bit 6 (since Linux 2.6.28)
Dump shared huge pages.
(This table has been taken from core(5), but you can also read about it
on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt inside the Linux kernel source
tree).
The default value for this file, used by the Linux kernel, is 0x33,
which means that bits 0, 1, 4 and 5 are enabled. This is also the
default for GDB implemented in this patch, FWIW.
Well, reading the file is obviously trivial. The hard part, mind you,
is how to determine the types of the memory mappings. For that, I
extended the code of gdb/linux-tdep.c:linux_find_memory_regions_full and
made it rely *much more* on the information gathered from
/proc/<PID>/smaps. This file contains a "verbose dump" of the
inferior's memory mappings, and we were not using as much information as
we could from it. If you want to read more about this file, take a look
at the proc(5) manpage (I will also write a blog post soon about
everything I had to learn to get this patch done, and when I it is ready
I will post it here).
With Oleg Nesterov's help, we could improve the current algorithm for
determining whether a memory mapping is anonymous/file-backed,
private/shared. GDB now also respects the MADV_DONTDUMP flag and does
not dump the memory mapping marked as so, and will always dump
"[vsyscall]" or "[vdso]" mappings (just like the Linux kernel).
In a nutshell, what the new code is doing is:
- If the mapping is associated to a file whose name ends with
" (deleted)", or if the file is "/dev/zero", or if it is "/SYSV%08x"
(shared memory), or if there is no file associated with it, or if
the AnonHugePages: or the Anonymous: fields in the /proc/PID/smaps
have contents, then GDB considers this mapping to be anonymous.
There is a special case in this, though: if the memory mapping is a
file-backed one, but *also* contains "Anonymous:" or
"AnonHugePages:" pages, then GDB considers this mapping to be *both*
anonymous and file-backed, just like the Linux kernel does. What
that means is simple: this mapping will be dumped if the user
requested anonymous mappings *or* if the user requested file-backed
mappings to be present in the corefile.
It is worth mentioning that, from all those checks described above,
the most fragile is the one to see if the file name ends with
" (deleted)". This does not necessarily mean that the mapping is
anonymous, because the deleted file associated with the mapping may
have been a hard link to another file, for example. The Linux
kernel checks to see if "i_nlink == 0", but GDB cannot easily do
this check (as it has been discussed, GDB would need to run as root,
and would need to check the contents of the /proc/PID/map_files/
directory in order to determine whether the deleted was a hardlink
or not). Therefore, we made a compromise here, and we assume that
if the file name ends with " (deleted)", then the mapping is indeed
anonymous. FWIW, this is something the Linux kernel could do
better: expose this information in a more direct way.
- If we see the flag "sh" in the VmFlags: field (in /proc/PID/smaps),
then certainly the memory mapping is shared (VM_SHARED). If we have
access to the VmFlags, and we don't see the "sh" there, then
certainly the mapping is private. However, older Linux kernels (see
the code for more details) do not have the VmFlags field; in that
case, we use another heuristic: if we see 'p' in the permission
flags, then we assume that the mapping is private, even though the
presence of the 's' flag there would mean VM_MAYSHARE, which means
the mapping could still be private. This should work OK enough,
however.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that I added a new command, 'set
use-coredump-filter on/off'. When it is 'on', it will read the
coredump_filter' file (if it exists) and use its value; otherwise, it
will use the default value mentioned above (0x33) to decide which memory
mappings to dump.

However, despite not seeing the message "Core was generated by...", it
is still possible to inspect the corefile using regular GDB commands.
The reason for that is because read_memory_unsigned_integer throws an
exception when it cannot read the memory region, but
solib_svr4_r_ldsomap was not catching it. The fix is to catch the
exception and act accordingly.
