[RFC] Don't block on finishing demangling msymbols
Instead, do it all on a background thread and only block when we actually
need the result.
Note, this is a speedup but not quite as much as I was expecting; still
looking into what causes the waits. However, let me know if you have thoughts
on the concept!
Create a correctly-sized demangled names hashtable
If we have a minsym count, we know the demangled names hashtable will
be at least that big. So use that count to create it, so we don't
have to resize/rehash it as much.
This is a 6% improvement in minsym loading time.

* symtab.c (create_demangled_names_hash): Use per_bfd->
minimal_symbol_count as the initial size, if greater than

This is for the msymbol_hash and msymbol_demangled_hash hashtables

codes together with the demangled symbol name in the background,
before it inserts the symbols in the hash table.

Introduce thread-safe way to handle SIGSEGV
The gdb demangler installs a SIGSEGV handler in order to protect gdb
from demangler bugs. However, this is not thread-safe, as signal
handlers are global to the process.
This patch changes gdb to always install a global SIGSEGV handler, and
then lets threads indicate their interest in handling the signal by
setting a thread-local variable.
This patch then arranges for the demangler code to use this; being
sure to arrange for calls to warning and the like to be done on the
main thread.
One thing I wondered while writing this patch is if there are any
systems that do not have "sigaction". If gdb could assume this, it

Add RAII class for blocking gdb signals
This adds configury support and an RAII class that can be used to
temporarily block signals that are used by gdb. (This class is not
used in this patch, but it split out for easier review.)
The idea of this patch is that these signals should only be delivered
to the main thread. So, when creating a background thread, they are
temporarily blocked; the blocked state is inherited by the new thread.
The sigprocmask man page says:
The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded
process; see pthread_sigmask(3).
This patch changes gdb to use pthread_sigmask when appropriate, by
introducing a convenience define.
I've updated gdbserver as well, because I had to touch gdbsupport, and
because the threading patches will make it link against the thread
library.
I chose not to touch the NTO code, because I don't know anything about

stc, mcr, mrc).
Currently these instructions are in the coprocessor_opcodes array, which
means they are checked before many other instructions when disassembling
arm and thumb32 codes.
This patch moves the generic instructions into a separate array to be
checked later on.
This is done in order to avoid instruction conflict between the generic
instructions and newer ones -- this has already been seen with MVE, and
is also a problem with BFloat16.
One way to avoid the conflict could be to swap the search order between
coprocessor_opcodes and neon_opcodes.
We avoid this since it's a larger change that may introduce extra bugs
(that aren't caught by the testsuite).
We have decided against searching the generic array after searching the
arm specific and thumb32 specific arrays with a similar reasoning about
keeping the change small.

Remove CR16C support
I think it is past time to remove CR16C support. CR16C was added in
2004, and only for ld. gas and binutils support is lacking, and there
have been no commits to bfd/elf32-cr16c.c other than warning fixes or
global maintainers making changes to all targets. I see no maintainer
listed for CR16C, and no commits from anyone at NSC supporting the
target. Furthermore, at the time the CR16 support was added in 2007,
config.sub was changed upstream to no longer recognise cr16c as a
valid cpu. That means the CR16C ld support is only available as a
secondary target by configuring with, for example,
--enable-targets=all or --enable-targets=cr16c-unknown-elf. No
testing of the CR16C target is possible.

GENERATE_SHLIB_SCRIPT vs. EMBEDDED.
A target that sets EMBEDDED non-empty is one that doesn't want to put
the ELF file header or program header in a memory image. Likely the
target isn't interested in supporting dynamically loaded executables,
shared libraries, or PIEs, because loaders for such binaries generally
require program headers to be present. This isn't 100% true though.
The target might be one where the loader accesses the file system in
order to retrieve headers.
Also, note that not all "shared libraries" require gcc -shared or the
shared library support in the linker. I believe one implementation of
shared libraries on uclinux is like this.
So, this patch removes GENERATE_SHLIB_SCRIPT and GENERATE_PIE_SCRIPT
in most emulparams files where EMBEDDED is set, restoring the shared
lib and pie support in emulparams files that unset EMBEDDED after
including a file where the support is removed.
Exceptions to the general rule that EMBEDDED disables shared libs are:
arm*-*-symbianelf*, where the OS wants shared library support
without ELF program headers in the image, and
sh*-*-uclinux*, where I've left things as they were, ie. both
EMBEDDED and GENERATE_SHLIB_SCRIPT because I'm unsure as to the
shared library scheme.
Right now it doesn't remove any code, but obviates the need to test on
that ancient platform. Besides, some of the patches I have in my queue
would require different solutions for Solaris 10 and 11.
There are a few comment-only references that I've kept since they are
still correct as is, even when GDB doesn't support Solaris 10 any
longer. The only code fragment I've left in is support for
/proc/<pid/path/a.out in procfs.c (procfs_target::pid_to_exec_file):
while current Solaris 11 updates provide /proc/<pid>/execname, that
wasn't present in Solaris 11.0 and still isn't in current Illumos and I
didn't want to make live harder for them.

instructions.

This happens because the mapping symbol data is stored in an objfile_key-based
container, and that data isn't preserved across the two symbol loading
operations.
The following patch fixes this by storing the mapping symbol data in a
bfd_key-based container, which doesn't change as long as the bfd is the same.

gdb: Add new commands to list module variables and functions
This patch adds two new commands "info module functions" and "info
module variables". These commands list all of the functions and
variables grouped by module and then by file.
For example:
(gdb) info module functions
All functions in all modules:
The new commands take set of flags that allow the output to be
filtered, the user can filter by variable/function name, type, or
containing module.
As GDB doesn't currently track the relationship between a module and
the variables or functions within it in the symbol table, so I filter
based on the module prefix in order to find the functions or variables
in each module. What this makes clear is that a user could get this
same information using "info variables" and simply provide the prefix
themselves, for example:
(gdb) info module functions -m mod1 _a
All functions matching regular expression "_a",
in all modules matching regular expression "mod1":
The benefits I see for a separate command are that the user doesn't
have to think (or know) about the module prefix format, nor worry
about building a proper regexp. The user can also easily scan across
modules without having to build complex regexps.
The new function search_module_symbols is extern in this patch despite
only being used within symtab.c, this is because a later patch in this

and the python "set pagination on", the above python
does not restore the original setting.
* Effectively, with the "gdb.parameter" python one liner, it is possible to do
simple 'if' conditions, such as set and restore pagination.
But mixing the "python if" within canned
sequence of commands is cumbersome for non trivial combinations.
E.g. if several commands have to be done for a certain condition
accessed from python, I guess something like will be needed:
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some command")
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some other command")
python if __some_setting: gdb.execute("some different command")
(without speaking about nested "if-s").
With the convenience function:
if $_gdb_setting("some_setting")
some command
some other command
some different command
end
Integer settings (for example print elements) will also be more difficult
to use.
For example, a user defined function that scans and prints a linked list
might want to use the value of "set print elements" to stop printing
the linked list.
Doing that by mixing python expression/if is likely doable, but seems
not easy with the above one liners.
So, in summary, the $_gdb_setting and $_gdb_setting_str avoids to have the
heterogeneous mix of python and GDB commands in one single script
(and of course, it works even if python is not configured, but that
must be an unusual setup I guess).

* gdb/cli/cli-setshow.c (get_setshow_command_value_string): Constify.
Since safe_strerror is in gdbsupport, gdbserver also needs to
check for strerror_r, although it's less critical since gdbserver
does not use threads as much.

2019-10-31 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>
* config.in: Regenerate.
* configure: Regenerate.
* configure.ac: Also check for strerror_r.
This avoids unnecessary work, and becomes important with the patch in

* agent.c (set_can_use_agent): When the setting is turned on,
look up agent symbols if we don't have them yet.
(agent_new_objfile): Don't look up agent symbols when the agent
setting is off.
Also stores the result in a thread-local static variable and
changes the return value to a const char*.
This is already important because Guile creates threads and
Python can create threads, but with the patch series here:
https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/176
GDB itself will create threads, too.

[ARM] Store exception handling information per-bfd instead of per-objfile
Based on feedback from Tromey, update the use of objfile_key in gdb/arm-tdep.c
to use bfd_key instead. That way we don't have to re-create the exception
handling data all over again if it was done before for the same BFD.

Add support for context sensitive '.arch_extension' to the ARM assembler.
If the extension is not found in the context sensitive table, the legacy
tables are still checked as a fallback. This is particularly useful for
Armv8.1-M as it enables the use of '.arch_extension' with the 'mve' and
'mve.fp' extensions which are not part of the legacy table.
* config/tc-arm.c (selected_ctx_ext_table) New static variable.
(arm_parse_arch): Set context sensitive extension table based on the
chosen base architecture.
(s_arm_arch_extension): Change to lookup extensions in the new context
sensitive tables.

[gdb/testsuite] Add -early pattern flag for gdb_test_multiple
Proc gdb_test_multiple builds up and executes a gdb_expect expression with
pattern/action clauses. The clauses are either implicit (added by
gdb_test_multiple) or explicit (passed via the gdb_test_multiple parameter
user_code).
However, there are a few implicit clauses which are inserted before the
explicit ones, making sure those take precedence.
Add an -early pattern flag for a gdb_test_multiple user_code clause to specify
that the clause needs to be inserted before any implicit clause.
Using this pattern flag, we can f.i. setup a kfail for an assertion failure
<assert> during gdb_continue_to_breakpoint by the rewrite:
...
gdb_continue_to_breakpoint <msg> <pattern>
...
into:
...
set breakpoint_pattern "(?:Breakpoint|Temporary breakpoint) .* (at|in)"
gdb_test_multiple "continue" "continue to breakpoint: <msg>" {
-early -re "internal-error: <assert>" {
setup_kfail gdb/nnnnn "*-*-*"
exp_continue
}
-re "$breakpoint_pattern <pattern>\r\n$gdb_prompt $" {
pass $gdb_test_name
