This commit builds on the previous series of commits to share the
target description caching code between GDB and gdbserver for
x86/Linux targets.
The objective of this commit is to move the four functions (2 each of)
i386_linux_read_description and amd64_linux_read_description into the
gdb/arch/ directory and combine them so we have just a single copy of
each. Then GDB, gdbserver, and the in-process-agent (IPA) will link
against these shared functions.
One curiosity with this patch is the function
x86_linux_post_init_tdesc. On the gdbserver side the two functions
amd64_linux_read_description and i386_linux_read_description have some
functionality that is not present on the GDB side, there is some
additional configuration that is performed as each target description
is created, to setup the expedited registers.
To support this I've added the function x86_linux_post_init_tdesc.
This function is called from the two *_linux_read_description
functions, but is implemented separately for GDB and gdbserver.
An alternative approach that avoids adding x86_linux_post_init_tdesc
would be to have x86_linux_tdesc_for_tid return a non-const target
description, then in x86_target::low_arch_setup we could inspect the
target description to figure out if it is 64-bit or not, and modify
the target description as needed. In the end I think that adding the
x86_linux_post_init_tdesc function is the simpler solution.
The contents of gdbserver/linux-x86-low.cc have moved to
gdb/arch/x86-linux-tdesc-features.c, and gdbserver/linux-x86-tdesc.h
has moved to gdb/arch/x86-linux-tdesc-features.h, this change leads to
some updates in the #includes in the gdbserver/ directory.
This commit also changes how target descriptions are cached.
Previously both GDB and gdbserver used static C-style arrays to act as
the tdesc cache. This was fine, except for two problems. Either the
C-style arrays would need to be placed in x86-linux-tdesc-features.c,
which would allow us to use the x86_linux_*_tdesc_count_1() functions
to size the arrays for us, or we'd need to hard code the array sizes
using separate #defines, which we'd then have to keep in sync with the
rest of the code in x86-linux-tdesc-features.c.
Given both of these problems I decided a better solution would be to
just switch to using a std::unordered_map to act as the cache. This
will resize automatically, and we can use the xcr0 value as the key.
At first inspection, using xcr0 might seem to be a problem; after all
the {i386,amd64}_create_target_description functions take more than
just the xcr0 value. However, this patch is only for x86/Linux
targets, and for x86/Linux all of the other flags passed to the tdesc
creation functions have constant values and so are irrelevant when we
consider tdesc caching.
For testing I've done the following:
- Built on x86-64 GNU/Linux for all targets, and just for the native
target,
- Build on i386 GNU/Linux for all targets, and just for the native
target,
- Build on a 64-bit, non-x86 GNU/Linux for all targets, just for the
native target, and for targets x86_64-*-linux and i386-*-linux.

This commit is part of a series to share more of the x86 target
description creation code between GDB and gdbserver.
Unlike previous commits which were mostly refactoring, this commit is
the first that makes a real change, though that change should mostly
be for gdbserver; I've largely adopted the "GDB" way of doing things
for gdbserver, and this fixes a real gdbserver bug.
On a x86-64 Linux target, running the test:
gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp
results in two core files being created. Both of these core files are
from the inferior process, created after gdbserver has detached.
In this test a gdbserver process is started and then, after gdbserver
has started, but before GDB attaches, we either delete the inferior
executable, or change its permissions so it can't be read. Only after
doing this do we attempt to connect with GDB.
As GDB connects to gdbserver, gdbserver attempts to figure out the
target description so that it can send the description to GDB, this
involves a call to x86_linux_read_description.
In x86_linux_read_description one of the first things we do is try to
figure out if the process is 32-bit or 64-bit. To do this we look up
the executable via the thread-id, and then attempt to read the
architecture size from the executable. This isn't going to work if
the executable has been deleted, or is no longer readable.
And so, as we can't read the executable, we default to an i386 target
and use an i386 target description.
A consequence of using an i386 target description is that addresses
are assumed to be 32-bits. Here's an example session that shows the
problems this causes. This is run on an x86-64 machine, and the test
binary (xx.x) is a standard 64-bit x86-64 binary:
shell_1$ gdbserver --once localhost :54321 /tmp/xx.x
shell_2$ gdb -q

Notice the difference between the mappings reported via GDB and those
reported directly from the kernel via /proc/PID/maps, the addresses of
every mapping is clamped to 32-bits for GDB, while the kernel reports
real 64-bit addresses.
Notice also that the $pc value is a 32-bit value. It appears to be
within one of the mappings reported by GDB, but is outside any of the
mappings reported from the kernel.
And this is where the problem arises. When gdbserver detaches from
the inferior we pass the inferior the address from which it should
resume. Due to the 32/64 bit confusion we tell the inferior to resume
from the 32-bit $pc value, which is not within any valid mapping, and
so, as soon as the inferior resumes, it segfaults.
If we look at how GDB (not gdbserver) figures out its target
description then we see an interesting difference. GDB doesn't try to
read the executable. Instead GDB uses ptrace to query the thread's
state, and uses this to figure out the if the thread is 32 or 64 bit.
If we update gdbserver to do it the "GDB" way then the above problem
is resolved, gdbserver now sees the process as 64-bit, and when we
detach from the inferior we give it the correct 64-bit address, and
the inferior no longer segfaults.
Now, I could just update the gdbserver code, but better, I think, to
share one copy of the code between GDB and gdbserver in gdb/nat/.
That is what this commit does.
The cores of x86_linux_read_description from gdbserver and
x86_linux_nat_target::read_description from GDB are moved into a new
file gdb/nat/x86-linux-tdesc.c and combined into a single function
x86_linux_tdesc_for_tid which is called from each location.
This new function does things mostly the GDB way, some changes are
needed to allow for the sharing; we now take some pointers for where
the shared code can cache the xcr0 and xsave layout values.
Another thing to note about this commit is how the functions
i386_linux_read_description and amd64_linux_read_description are
handled. For now I've left these function as implemented separately
in GDB and gdbserver. I've moved the declarations of these functions
into gdb/arch/{i386,amd64}-linux-tdesc.h, but the implementations are
left where they are.
A later commit in this series will make these functions shared too,
but doing this is not trivial, so I've left that for a separate
commit. Merging the declarations as I've done here ensures that
everyone implements the function to the same API, and once these
functions are shared (in a later commit) we'll want a shared
declaration anyway.

Currently, in i386_linux_core_read_description, if GDB fails to
extract an xcr0 value from the core file, then we will have a default
zero value for the xcr0 variable, we still call the
i386_linux_read_description function, which checks for this zero value
and returns nullptr.
Back in i386_linux_core_read_description we spot the nullptr return
value from i386_linux_read_description and call
i386_linux_read_description again, but this time passing a default
value for xcr0.
In the next commit I plan to rework i386_linux_read_description, and
in so doing I will remove the check for xcr0 == 0, this is inline with
how the amd64 code is written.
However, this means that the 'xcr0 == 0' check needs to move up the
stack to i386_linux_core_read_description, again, this brings the i386
code into line with the amd64 code.
This is just a refactor in preparation for the next commit, there
should be no user visible changes after this commit.

I opted for a new file, because this functionality of converting

gdb/gdbserver: share x86/linux tdesc caching
a possible use of an uninitialised variable was introduced, the
'tdesc' variable in i386_linux_core_read_description might be read
without being written too if 'xcr0' was 0.
This is fixed in this commit. I've updated the function to follow the
same pattern as amd64_linux_core_read_description, if xcr0 is 0 then
we select a default xcr0 value and use that to select a tdesc.
This commit builds on the previous series of commits to share the
target description caching code between GDB and gdbserver for
x86/Linux targets.
The objective of this commit is to move the four functions (2 each of)
i386_linux_read_description and amd64_linux_read_description into
gdb/nat/x86-linux-tdesc.c and combine them so we have just a single
copy of each. Then both GDB and gdbserver will link against these
shared functions.
It is worth reading the description of the previous commit to see why
this merging is not as simple as it seems: on the gdbserver side we
actually have two users of these functions, gdbserver itself, and the
in process agent (IPA).
However, the previous commit streamlined the gdbserver code, and so
now it is simple to move the two functions along with all their
support functions from the gdbserver directory into the gdb/nat/
directory, and then GDB is fine to call these functions.
One small curiosity with this patch is the function
x86_linux_post_init_tdesc. On the gdbserver side the two functions
amd64_linux_read_description and i386_linux_read_description have some
functionality that is not present on the GDB side, that is some
additional configuration that is performed as each target description
is created to setup the expedited registers.
To support this I've added the function x86_linux_post_init_tdesc.
This function is called from the two *_linux_read_description
functions, but is implemented separately for GDB and gdbserver.
This does mean adding back some non-shared code when this whole series
has been about sharing code, but now the only non-shared bit is the
single line that is actually different between GDB and gdbserver, all
the rest, which is identical, is now shared.
I did need to add a new rule to the gdbserver Makefile, this is to
allow the nat/x86-linux-tdesc.c file to be compiled for the IPA.

We currently pass frames to function by value, as `frame_info_ptr`.
This is somewhat expensive:
- the size of `frame_info_ptr` is 64 bytes, which is a bit big to pass
by value
- the constructors and destructor link/unlink the object in the global
`frame_info_ptr::frame_list` list. This is an `intrusive_list`, so
it's not so bad: it's just assigning a few points, there's no memory
allocation as if it was `std::list`, but still it's useless to do
that over and over.
As suggested by Tom Tromey, change many function signatures to accept
`const frame_info_ptr &` instead of `frame_info_ptr`.
Some functions reassign their `frame_info_ptr` parameter, like:
void
the_func (frame_info_ptr frame)
{
for (; frame != nullptr; frame = get_prev_frame (frame))
{
...
}
}
I wondered what to do about them, do I leave them as-is or change them
(and need to introduce a separate local variable that can be
re-assigned). I opted for the later for consistency. It might not be
clear why some functions take `const frame_info_ptr &` while others take
`frame_info_ptr`. Also, if a function took a `frame_info_ptr` because
it did re-assign its parameter, I doubt that we would think to change it
to `const frame_info_ptr &` should the implementation change such that
it doesn't need to take `frame_info_ptr` anymore. It seems better to
have a simple rule and apply it everywhere.

The core_bfd macro hides a use of current_program_space. Remove it, so
that we have the opportunity to get the program space from the context,
if possible. I guess that the macro was introduced at some point to
replace a global variable of the same name without changing all the
uses.

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.
Refactor i386_linux_core_read_xcr0 to fetch and return a corresponding

As described in the previous commit for this series, I became
concerned that there might be instances in which a QUIT (due to either
a SIGINT or SIGTERM) might not cause execution to return to the top
level. In some (though very few) instances, it is okay to not
propagate the exception for a Ctrl-C / SIGINT, but I don't think that
it is ever okay to swallow the exception caused by a SIGTERM.
Allowing that to happen would definitely be a deviation from the
current behavior in which GDB exits upon receipt of a SIGTERM.
I looked at all cases where an exception handler catches a
gdb_exception. Handlers which did NOT need modification were those
which satisifed one or more of the following conditions:
1) There is no call path to maybe_quit() in the try block. I used a
static analysis tool to help make this determination. In
instances where the tool didn't provide an answer of "yes, this
call path can result in maybe_quit() being called", I reviewed it
by hand.
2) The catch block contains a throw for conditions that it
doesn't want to handle; these "not handled" conditions
must include the quit exception and the new "forced quit" exception.
3) There was (also) a catch for gdb_exception_quit.
Any try/catch blocks not meeting the above conditions could
potentially swallow a QUIT exception.
My first thought was to add catch blocks for gdb_exception_quit and
then rethrow the exception. But Pedro pointed out that this can be
handled without adding additional code by simply catching
gdb_exception_error instead. That's what this patch series does.
There are some oddball cases which needed to be handled differently,
plus the extension languages, but those are handled in later patches.

This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
This changes GDB to use frame_info_ptr instead of frame_info *
The substitution was done with multiple sequential `sed` commands:
sed 's/^struct frame_info;/class frame_info_ptr;/'
sed 's/struct frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g' - which left some
issues in a few files, that were manually fixed.
sed 's/\<frame_info \*/frame_info_ptr /g'
sed 's/frame_info_ptr $/frame_info_ptr/g' - used to remove whitespace
problems.
The changed files were then manually checked and some 'sed' changes
undone, some constructors and some gets were added, according to what
made sense, and what Tromey originally did

I built GDB for all targets on a x86-64/GNU-Linux system, and
then (accidentally) passed GDB a RISC-V binary, and asked GDB to "run"
the binary on the native target. I got this error:
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").
(gdb) file /tmp/hello.rv32.exe
Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.rv32.exe...
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "riscv:rv32").
(gdb) run

../../src/gdb/i387-tdep.c:596: internal-error: i387_supply_fxsave: Assertion `tdep->st0_regnum >= I386_ST0_REGNUM' failed.
What's going on here is this; initially the architecture is i386, this
is based on the default architecture, which is set based on the native
target. After loading the RISC-V executable the architecture of the
current inferior is updated based on the architecture of the
executable.
When we "run", GDB does a fork & exec, with the inferior being
controlled through ptrace. GDB sees an initial stop from the inferior
as soon as the inferior comes to life. In response to this stop GDB
ends up calling save_stop_reason (linux-nat.c), which ends up trying
to read register from the inferior, to do this we end up calling
target_ops::fetch_registers, which, for the x86-64 native target,
calls amd64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers.
After this I eventually end up in i387_supply_fxsave, different x86
based targets will end in different functions to fetch registers, but
it doesn't really matter which function we end up in, the problem is
this line, which is repeated in many places:
i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
The problem here is that the ARCH in this line comes from the current
inferior, which, as we discussed above, will be a RISC-V gdbarch, the
tdep field will actually be of type riscv_gdbarch_tdep, not
i386_gdbarch_tdep. After this cast we are relying on undefined
behaviour, in my case I happen to trigger an assert, but this might
not always be the case.
The thing I tried that exposed this problem was of course, trying to
start an executable of the wrong architecture on a native target. I
don't think that the correct solution for this problem is to detect,
at the point of cast, that the gdbarch_tdep object is of the wrong
type, but, I did wonder, is there a way that we could protect
ourselves from incorrectly casting the gdbarch_tdep object?
I think that there is something we can do here, and this commit is the
first step in that direction, though no actual check is added by this
commit.
This commit can be split into two parts:
(1) In gdbarch.h and arch-utils.c. In these files I have modified
gdbarch_tdep (the function) so that it now takes a template argument,
like this:
template<typename TDepType>
static inline TDepType *
gdbarch_tdep (struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
struct gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep_1 (gdbarch);
return static_cast<TDepType *> (tdep);
}
After this change we are no better protected, but the cast is now
done within the gdbarch_tdep function rather than at the call sites,
this leads to the second, much larger change in this commit,
(2) Everywhere gdbarch_tdep is called, we make changes like this:
- i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = (i386_gdbarch_tdep *) gdbarch_tdep (arch);
+ i386_gdbarch_tdep *tdep = gdbarch_tdep<i386_gdbarch_tdep> (arch);
There should be no functional change after this commit.
In the next commit I will build on this change to add an assertion in
gdbarch_tdep that checks we are casting to the correct type.
Change gdbarch_register_reggroup_p to take a 'const struct reggroup *'
argument. This requires a change to the gdb/gdbarch-components.py
script, regeneration of gdbarch.{c,h}, and then updates to all the
architectures that implement this method.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.
This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
The process record code often emits unfiltered output. In some cases,
this output ought to go to gdb_stderr (but see below). In other
cases, the output is guarded by a logging variable and so ought to go
to gdb_stdlog. This patch makes these changes.
Note that in many cases, the output to stderr is followed by a
"return -1", which is how process record indicates an error. It seems
to me that calling error here would be preferable, because, in many
cases, that's all the caller does when it sees a -1. However, I
haven't made this change.
This is part of PR gdb/7233.
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7233
I think it would make sense for extract_integer, extract_signed_integer
and extract_unsigned_integer to take an array_view. This way, when we
extract an integer, we can validate that we don't overflow the buffer
passed by the caller (e.g. ask to extract a 4-byte integer but pass a
2-byte buffer).
- Change extract_integer to take an array_view
- Add overloads of extract_signed_integer and extract_unsigned_integer
that take array_views. Keep the existing versions so we don't
need to change all callers, but make them call the array_view
versions.
This shortens some places like:
result = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents (result_val).data (),
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (result_val)),
byte_order);
into
result = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents (result_val), byte_order);
value_contents returns an array view that is of length
`TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (result_val))` already, so the length is
implicitly communicated through the array view.

I would like to be able to use non-trivial types in gdbarch_tdep types.
This is not possible at the moment (in theory), because of the one
definition rule.
To allow it, rename all gdbarch_tdep types to <arch>_gdbarch_tdep, and
make them inherit from a gdbarch_tdep base class. The inheritance is
necessary to be able to pass pointers to all these <arch>_gdbarch_tdep
objects to gdbarch_alloc, which takes a pointer to gdbarch_tdep.
These objects are never deleted through a base class pointer, so I
didn't include a virtual destructor. In the future, if gdbarch objects
deletable, I could imagine that the gdbarch_tdep objects could become
owned by the gdbarch objects, and then it would become useful to have a
virtual destructor (so that the gdbarch object can delete the owned
gdbarch_tdep object). But that's not necessary right now.
It turns out that RISC-V already has a gdbarch_tdep that is
non-default-constructible, so that provides a good motivation for this
change.
Most changes are fairly straightforward, mostly needing to add some
casts all over the place. There is however the xtensa architecture,
doing its own little weird thing to define its gdbarch_tdep. I did my
best to adapt it, but I can't test those changes.

The r_ldsomap field is specific to Solaris (part of librtld_db), and
should never be accessed for Linux. glibc is planning to add a field
to support multiple namespaces. But there will be no r_ldsomap when
r_version is bumped to 2. Add linux_[ilp32|lp64]_fetch_link_map_offsets
to set r_ldsomap_offset to -1 and use them for Linux targets.

This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
Today, GDB only allows a single displaced stepping operation to happen
per inferior at a time. There is a single displaced stepping buffer per
inferior, whose address is fixed (obtained with
gdbarch_displaced_step_location), managed by infrun.c.
In the case of the AMD ROCm target [1] (in the context of which this
work has been done), it is typical to have thousands of threads (or
waves, in SMT terminology) executing the same code, hitting the same
breakpoint (possibly conditional) and needing to to displaced step it at
the same time. The limitation of only one displaced step executing at a
any given time becomes a real bottleneck.
To fix this bottleneck, we want to make it possible for threads of a
same inferior to execute multiple displaced steps in parallel. This
patch builds the foundation for that.
In essence, this patch moves the task of preparing a displaced step and
cleaning up after to gdbarch functions. This allows using different
schemes for allocating and managing displaced stepping buffers for
different platforms. The gdbarch decides how to assign a buffer to a
thread that needs to execute a displaced step.
On the ROCm target, we are able to allocate one displaced stepping
buffer per thread, so a thread will never have to wait to execute a
displaced step.
On Linux, the entry point of the executable if used as the displaced
stepping buffer, since we assume that this code won't get used after
startup. From what I saw (I checked with a binary generated against
glibc and musl), on AMD64 we have enough space there to fit two
displaced stepping buffers. A subsequent patch makes AMD64/Linux use
two buffers.
In addition to having multiple displaced stepping buffers, there is also
the idea of sharing displaced stepping buffers between threads. Two
threads doing displaced steps for the same PC could use the same buffer
at the same time. Two threads stepping over the same instruction (same
opcode) at two different PCs may also be able to share a displaced
stepping buffer. This is an idea for future patches, but the
architecture built by this patch is made to allow this.
Now, the implementation details. The main part of this patch is moving
the responsibility of preparing and finishing a displaced step to the
gdbarch. Before this patch, preparing a displaced step is driven by the
displaced_step_prepare_throw function. It does some calls to the
gdbarch to do some low-level operations, but the high-level logic is
there. The steps are roughly:
- Ask the gdbarch for the displaced step buffer location
- Save the existing bytes in the displaced step buffer
- Ask the gdbarch to copy the instruction into the displaced step buffer
- Set the pc of the thread to the beginning of the displaced step buffer
Similarly, the "fixup" phase, executed after the instruction was
successfully single-stepped, is driven by the infrun code (function
displaced_step_finish). The steps are roughly:
- Restore the original bytes in the displaced stepping buffer
- Ask the gdbarch to fixup the instruction result (adjust the target's
registers or memory to do as if the instruction had been executed in
its original location)
The displaced_step_inferior_state::step_thread field indicates which
thread (if any) is currently using the displaced stepping buffer, so it
is used by displaced_step_prepare_throw to check if the displaced
stepping buffer is free to use or not.
This patch defers the whole task of preparing and cleaning up after a
displaced step to the gdbarch. Two new main gdbarch methods are added,
with the following semantics:
- gdbarch_displaced_step_prepare: Prepare for the given thread to
execute a displaced step of the instruction located at its current PC.
Upon return, everything should be ready for GDB to resume the thread
(with either a single step or continue, as indicated by
gdbarch_displaced_step_hw_singlestep) to make it displaced step the
instruction.
- gdbarch_displaced_step_finish: Called when the thread stopped after
having started a displaced step. Verify if the instruction was
executed, if so apply any fixup required to compensate for the fact
that the instruction was executed at a different place than its
original pc. Release any resources that were allocated for this
displaced step. Upon return, everything should be ready for GDB to
resume the thread in its "normal" code path.
The displaced_step_prepare_throw function now pretty much just offloads
to gdbarch_displaced_step_prepare and the displaced_step_finish function
offloads to gdbarch_displaced_step_finish.
The gdbarch_displaced_step_location method is now unnecessary, so is
removed. Indeed, the core of GDB doesn't know how many displaced step
buffers there are nor where they are.
To keep the existing behavior for existing architectures, the logic that
was previously implemented in infrun.c for preparing and finishing a
displaced step is moved to displaced-stepping.c, to the
displaced_step_buffer class. Architectures are modified to implement
the new gdbarch methods using this class. The behavior is not expected
to change.
The other important change (which arises from the above) is that the
core of GDB no longer prevents concurrent displaced steps. Before this
patch, start_step_over walks the global step over chain and tries to
initiate a step over (whether it is in-line or displaced). It follows
these rules:
- if an in-line step is in progress (in any inferior), don't start any
other step over
- if a displaced step is in progress for an inferior, don't start
another displaced step for that inferior
After starting a displaced step for a given inferior, it won't start
another displaced step for that inferior.
In the new code, start_step_over simply tries to initiate step overs for
all the threads in the list. But because threads may be added back to
the global list as it iterates the global list, trying to initiate step
overs, start_step_over now starts by stealing the global queue into a
local queue and iterates on the local queue. In the typical case, each
thread will either:
- have initiated a displaced step and be resumed
- have been added back by the global step over queue by
displaced_step_prepare_throw, because the gdbarch will have returned
that there aren't enough resources (i.e. buffers) to initiate a
displaced step for that thread
Lastly, if start_step_over initiates an in-line step, it stops
iterating, and moves back whatever remaining threads it had in its local
step over queue to the global step over queue.
Two other gdbarch methods are added, to handle some slightly annoying
corner cases. They feel awkwardly specific to these cases, but I don't
see any way around them:
- gdbarch_displaced_step_copy_insn_closure_by_addr: in
arm_pc_is_thumb, arm-tdep.c wants to get the closure for a given
buffer address.
- gdbarch_displaced_step_restore_all_in_ptid: when a process forks
(at least on Linux), the address space is copied. If some displaced
step buffers were in use at the time of the fork, we need to restore
the original bytes in the child's address space.
These two adjustments are also made in infrun.c:
- prepare_for_detach: there may be multiple threads doing displaced
steps when we detach, so wait until all of them are done
- handle_inferior_event: when we handle a fork event for a given
thread, it's possible that other threads are doing a displaced step at
the same time. Make sure to restore the displaced step buffer
contents in the child for them.

To help with readability, add the type displaced_step_closure_up, an
alias for std::unique_ptr<displaced_step_closure>, and use it throughout
the code base.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_displaced_step_copy_insn): Use
displaced_step_closure_up.

This callback dynamically allocates a specialized displaced_step_closure, and
gives the ownership of the object to its caller. So I think it would make
sense for the callback to return an std::unique_ptr, this is what this patch
implements.

std::unique_ptr.

This changes a few spots that use field_fmt to use field_core_addr
instead.

Both the i386, X86_64 and AArch64 builds of gdbserver include a bunch of legacy
xml files, dat files and auto generated C files, when building for unit test.
These tests exists back from when feature target descriptions were added to
prove that the new target descriptions were identical to the original
older versions. The old files are not used for anything other than these tests.
Now that this has been proven, we are not gaining anything by keeping the
original files and tests. Should new functionality be added, it would break
the tests, unless the functionality was backported to the xml. There is no
requirement that we must match the exact xml from N releases ago. It adds
obfuscation, where as the feature target descriptions were meant to simplify
the code.
In addition, there are a bunch of xml and dat files which are completely unused.
This patch removes the selftests and the target descriptions from gdbserver.
Update the unittest to allow 0 tests (note, this failed on other targets that
never had any tests).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* aarch64-tdep.c: Remove xml self tests.
* amd64-linux-tdep.c: Likewise.
* amd64-tdep.c: Likewise.
* i386-linux-tdep.c: Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.server/unittest.exp: Allow 0 unit tests to run.
This rewrites gdb's TRY/CATCH to plain C++ try/catch. The patch was
largely written by script, though one change (to a comment in
common-exceptions.h) was reverted by hand.
