PR 17408 - assertion failure in switch_back_to_stepped_thread
This PR shows that GDB can easily trigger an assertion here, in
infrun.c:
5392 /* Did we find the stepping thread? */
5393 if (tp->control.step_range_end)
5394 {
5395 /* Yep. There should only one though. */
5396 gdb_assert (stepping_thread == NULL);
5397
5398 /* The event thread is handled at the top, before we
5399 enter this loop. */
5400 gdb_assert (tp != ecs->event_thread);
5401
5402 /* If some thread other than the event thread is
5403 stepping, then scheduler locking can't be in effect,
5404 otherwise we wouldn't have resumed the current event
5405 thread in the first place. */
5406 gdb_assert (!schedlock_applies (currently_stepping (tp)));
5407
5408 stepping_thread = tp;
5409 }
The way the assertion is written is assuming that with schedlock=step
we'll always leave threads other than the one with the stepping range
locked, while that's not true with the "next" command. With schedlock
"step", other threads still run unlocked when "next" detects a
function call and steps over it. Whether that makes sense or not,
still, it's documented that way in the manual. If another thread hits
an event that doesn't cause a stop while the nexting thread steps over
a function call, we'll get here and fail the assertion.
The fix is just to adjust the assertion. Even though we found the
stepping thread, we'll still step-over the breakpoint that just
triggered correctly.
Surprisingly, gdb.threads/schedlock.exp doesn't have any test that
steps over a function call. This commits fixes that. This ensures
that "next" doesn't switch focus to another thread, and checks whether
other threads run locked or not, depending on scheduler locking mode
and command. There's a lot of duplication in that file that this ends
cleaning up. There's more that could be cleaned up, but that would
end up an unrelated change, best done separately.
This new coverage in schedlock.exp happens to trigger the internal
error in question, like so:
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (1) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (3) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (5) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (7) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next to increment (9) (GDB internal error)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: next does not change thread (switched to thread 0)
FAIL: gdb.threads/schedlock.exp: schedlock=step: cmd=next: call_function=1: current thread advanced - unlocked (wrong amount)
That's because we have more than one thread running the same loop, and
while one thread is stepping over a function call, the other thread
hits the step-resume breakpoint of the first, which needs to be
stepped over, and we end up in switch_back_to_stepped_thread exactly
in the problem case.
I think a simpler and more directed test is also useful, to not rely
on internal breakpoint magics. So this commit also adds a test that
has a thread trip on a conditional breakpoint that doesn't cause a
user-visible stop while another thread is stepping over a call. That
currently fails like this:
FAIL: gdb.threads/next-bp-other-thread.exp: schedlock=step: next over function call (GDB internal error)

The problem is that installing the input handler callback also preps
the terminal, putting it in raw mode and with echo disabled, which is
bad if we're going to call a command that assumes cooked/canonical
mode, and echo enabled, like in the case of the PR, Python's
interactive shell. Another example I came up with that doesn't depend
on Python is starting a subshell with "(gdb) shell /bin/sh" from a
multi-line command. Tests covering both these examples are added.
The fix is to revert the original fix for PR gdb/17072, and instead
restore the callback handler after processing an asynchronous target
event.
Furthermore, calling rl_callback_handler_install when we already have
some input in readline's line buffer discards that input, which is
obviously a bad thing to do while the user is typing. No specific
test is added for that, because I first tried calling it even if the
callback handler was still installed and that resulted in hundreds of
failures in the testsuite.

PR gdb/17471: Repeating a background command makes it foreground
When we repeat a command, by just pressing <ret>, the input from the
previous command is reused for the new command invocation.
When an execution command strips the "&" out of its incoming argument
string, to detect background execution, we poke a '\0' directly to the
incoming argument string.
Combine both, and a repeat of a background command loses the "&".
This is actually only visible if args other than "&" are specified
(e.g., "c 1&" or "next 2&" or "c -a&"), as in the special case of "&"
alone (e.g. "c&") doesn't actually clobber the incoming string.
Fix this by making strip_bg_char return a new string instead of poking
a hole in the input string.

When we run a foreground execution command we call
target_terminal_inferior to stop GDB from processing input, and to put
the inferior's terminal settings in effect. Then we tell readline to
hide the prompt with display_gdb_prompt, which clears readline's input
callback too. When the target stops, we call target_terminal_ours,
which re-installs stdin in the event loop, and then we redisplay the
prompt, reinstalling the readline callbacks.
However, when annotations are in effect, the "frames-invalid"
annotation code calls target_terminal_ours after 'resume' had already
called target_terminal_inferior:

And then once we hide the prompt and remove readline's input handler
callback, we're in a bad state. We end up with the target running
supposedly in the foreground, but with stdin still installed on the
event loop. Any input then calls into readline, which aborts because
no rl_linefunc callback handler is installed:

The fix is to make the annotation code call target_terminal_inferior
again after printing, if the inferior's settings were in effect.
While at it, when we're doing output only, instead of
target_terminal_ours, we should call target_terminal_ours_for_output.
The latter doesn't actually remove stdin from the event loop, and also

Make common code handle target_terminal_* idempotency
I found a place that should be giving back the terminal to the target,
but only if the target was already owning it. So I need to add a
getter for who owns the terminal.
The trouble is that several places/target have their own globals to
track this state:
While one might think of adding a new target_ops method to query this,
conceptually, this state isn't really part of a particular target_ops.
Considering multi-target, the core shouldn't have to ask all targets
to know whether it's GDB that owns the terminal. There's only one GDB
(or rather, only one top level interpreter).
So what this comment does is add a new global that is tracked by the
core instead. A subsequent pass may later remove the other globals.

state->dr_control_mirror == 0 failed assertion in gdbserver on Windows XP
When using GDBserver on Windows XP, GDBserver reports an assertion
failure after hitting a hardware watchpoint. The problem was reproduced
using the sources from gdb.ada/int_deref, but should probably reproduce
with any scenario involving hardware watchpoints.
In our scenario, we break on line 5, just before the increment, insert
a watchhpoint on it, and then continue:
(gdb) b foo.adb:5
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4017c2: file foo.adb, line 5.

Continuing.
Breakpoint 1, foo () at foo.adb:5
5 Pck.Watch := Pck.Watch + 1;
(gdb) watch watch
Hardware watchpoint 2: watch
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Remote communication error. Target disconnected.: Invalid argument.
The immediate cause for the communication error is easily explained,
gdbserver crashes due to a failed assertion:
The assertion occurs because debug_reg_state.dr_control_mirror gets
overwritten by the value read from the inferior, when processing
the watchpoint event in win32_wait: win32_wait finds that we stopped,
calls get_thread_regcache which causes i386_get_thread_context to
get called, which then...
if (th->tid == current_event->dwThreadId)
{
/* Copy dr values from the current thread. */
struct x86_debug_reg_state *dr = &debug_reg_state;
[...]
dr->dr_control_mirror = th->context.Dr7;
}
Both should be identical, normally making this a no-op, but
it turns out that bits 12-11-10 are documented as being fixed
and equal to 001. Our handling of dr_control_mirror does not
manage those bits, and leaves them as zeros instead. So, when
we overwrite the value from the thread's DR7 register, we
accidentally set bit 10, causing state->dr_control_mirror
to be 0x400 after we've cleared everything internally.
This patch fixes the issue by removing the statement setting
state->dr_control_mirror to the thread's DR7 register value.

In addition, while that commit intended to fix big endian Aarch64, it
ended up breaking floating point debugging against GDBserver, for both
big and little endian, because it changed the CPSR to be 64-bit in the
features/aarch64-core.xml file, but missed regenerating the
regformats/aarch64.dat file. If we generate it now, we see this:
IOW, that commit left regformats/aarch64.dat still considering CPSR as
32-bits. regformats/aarch64.dat is used by GDBserver for its internal
regcache layout, and for the g/G packet register block. See the
generated aarch64.c file in GDBserver's build dir.
So the target description xml file that GDBserver reports to GDB is
now claiming that CPSR is 64-bit, but what GDBserver actually puts in
the g/G register packets is 32-bits. Because GDB thinks CPSR is
64-bit (because that's what the XML description says), GDB will be
reading the remaining 32-bit bits of CPSR out of v0 (the register
immediately afterwards), and then all the registers that follow CPSR
in the register packet end up wrong in GDB, because they're being read
from the wrong offsets...

GDB (FSF HEAD 5e43d46791c4c66fd83947a12d4f716b561a9103) regression:
reproducer:
./gdb -ex start ./gdb
actual result / FAIL:
Got object file from memory but can't read symbols: File truncated.
expected result / PASS:
<nothing>
or / PASS:
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?
That "warning: Could not load shared library..." is mostly harmless (it is
a bug in GDB), in the FAIL case it is not printed just because
bfd_check_format() fails there.
It seems logical to me this way when the 'size' parameter has been already
added.
Alan Modra:
I was wrongly thinking that the section headers were
always last when I wrote that code. (They are now! If you relink
that vdso with current binutils master you won't hit this problem, but
that of course doesn't help existing kernels.)
I do not see a regression for add-symbol-file-from-memory for libncurses.so.5
from the original thread above.
Start of section headers: 1080 (bytes into file)
Size of section headers: 64 (bytes)
Number of section headers: 13
Section header string table index: 8
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Address Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 8] .fake_shstrtab STRTAB 0000000000000780 000780 000076 00 A 0 0 32

But then 0x778 < 0x780 for "Section header string table index" so whole
bfd_check_format() fails because section headers were not cleared here:
/* If the segments visible in memory didn't include the section headers,
then clear them from the file header. */

* elfcode.h (bfd_from_remote_memory): Use SIZE for HIGH_OFFSET.
With the former, gdb waits for the attach command to complete before
moving on to the "run" command, because the interpreter is in sync
mode at this point, within execute_command. But for the latter,
attach_command is called directly from captured_main, and thus misses
that waiting. IOW, "run" is running before the attach continuation
has run, before the program stops and attach completes. The broken
terminal settings are just one symptom of that. Any command that
queries or requires input results in the same.
The fix is to wait in catch_command_errors (which is specific to
main.c nowadays), just like we wait in execute_command.

testsuite: refactor spawn and wait for attach
Several places in the testsuite have a copy of a snippet of code that
spawns a test program, waits a bit, and then does some PID munging for
Cygwin. This is in order to have GDB attach to the spawned program.
This refactors all that to a common procedure.
(multi-attach.exp wants to spawn multiple processes, so this makes the
new procedure's interface work with lists.)
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

Fix for PR 17247: Block SIGCHLD while initializing Guile.
The problem here is that if a thread other than gdb's main thread
gets a SIGCHLD (it's an asynchronous signal so the kernel will
essentially pick a random thread) then gdb will hang if it is
in sigsuspend when the SIGCHLD is delivered. The other thread
will see the signal and the sigsuspend won't "wake up".
Guile and libgc should be blocking SIGCHLD in their threads,
but we need to work with Guile 2.0 and libgc 7.4.
The problem first shows up in libgc 7.4 because it is the first
release that enables multiple marker threads by default.

It crashes because frame_arg::val is documented it may contain NULL
(frame_arg::error is then non-NULL) but the code does not handle it.
Another bug is that py_print_single_arg() calls goto out of its TRY_CATCH
which messes up GDB cleanup chain crashing GDB later.
It is probably 7.7 regression (I have not verified it) due to the introduction
of Python frame filters.
