lookup_minimal_symbol_text always loops over all objfiles, even when
an objfile is passed in as an argument. This patch changes the
function to loop over the minimal number of objfiles in the latter
situation.
When gdb starts up with a symbol file, it uses the program's "main" to
decide the "static context" and the initial language. With background
DWARF reading, this means that gdb has to wait for a significant
amount of DWARF to be read synchronously.
This patch introduces lazy language setting. The idea here is that in
many cases, the prompt can show up early, making gdb feel more
responsive.
This changes the 'current_language' global to be a macro that wraps a
function call. This change will let a subsequent patch introduce lazy
language setting.
quick_symbol_functions::read_partial_symbols is no longer implemented,
so both it and quick_symbol_functions::can_lazily_read_symbols can be
removed. This allows for other functions to be removed as well.
Note that SYMFILE_NO_READ is now pretty much dead. I haven't removed
it here -- but could if that's desirable. I tend to think that this
functionality would be better implemented in the core; but whenever I
dive into the non-DWARF readers it is pretty depressing.
dwarf2_has_info and dwarf2_initialize_objfile are only separate
because the DWARF reader implemented lazy psymtab reading. However,
now that this is gone, we can simplify the public DWARF API again.
This patch rearranges the DWARF reader so that more work is done in
the background. This is PR symtab/29942.
The idea here is that there is only a small amount of work that must
be done on the main thread when scanning DWARF -- before the main
scan, the only part is mapping the section data.
Currently, the DWARF reader uses the quick_symbol_functions "lazy"
functionality to defer even starting to read. This patch instead
changes the reader to start reading immediately, but doing more in
worker tasks.
Before this patch, "file" on my machine:
(gdb) file /tmp/gdb
2023-10-23 12:29:56.885 - command started

2023-10-23 12:29:58.047 - command finished
Command execution time: 5.867228 (cpu), 1.162444 (wall)
After the patch, more work is done in the background and so this takes
a bit less time:
(gdb) file /tmp/gdb
2023-10-23 13:25:51.391 - command started

I think this could be further sped up by using the shared library load
map to avoid objfile loops like the one in expand_symtab_containing_pc
-- it seems like the correct objfile could be chosen more directly.

This changes the cooked index code to wait for threads in its
public-facing API. That is, the waits are done in cooked_index now,
and never in the cooked_index_shard. Centralizing this decision makes
it easier to wait for other events here as well.
For testing, it's sometimes convenient to be able to request that
DWARF reading be done synchronously. This patch adds a new "maint"
setting for this purpose.

This adds a new compute_main_name method to quick_symbol_functions.
Currently there are no implementations of this, but a subsequent patch
will add one.
When DWARF reading is done in the background,
read_addrmap_from_aranges will be called from a worker thread.
Because warnings can't be emitted from these threads, this patch adds
a new deferred_warnings parameter to the function, letting the caller
control exactly how the warnings are emitted.
This patch changes the way complaint works in a background thread.
The new approach requires installing a complaint interceptor in each
worker, and then the resulting complaints are treated as one of the
results of the computation. This change is needed for a subsequent
patch, where installing a complaint interceptor around a parallel-for
is no longer a viable approach.
This changes gdb to ensure that gdb's BFD cache is guarded by a lock.
This avoids any races when multiple threads might open a BFD (and thus
use the BFD cache) at the same time.
Currently, this change is not needed because the the main thread waits
for some DWARF scanning to be completed before returning. The only
locking that's required is when opening DWO files, and there's a local
lock to this end in dwarf2/read.c.
However, in the coming patches, the DWARF reader will begin its work
earlier, in the background. This means there is the potential for the
DWARF reader and other code on the main thread to both attempt to open
BFDs at the same time.
This adds a couple of calls to bfd_cache_close at points where a BFD
isn't actively needed by gdb. Normally at these points, all the
needed section data is already mapped, so we can simply close the file
descriptor. This is harmless at worst, because if this is needed
after all, the BFD file descriptor cache will reopen it.
This changes the DWZ code to pre-read the section data and somewhat
simplify the DWZ API. This makes it easier to add the bfd_cache_close
call to the new dwarf2_read_dwz_file function -- after this is done,
there shouldn't be a reason to keep the BFD's file descriptor open.
The DWO code in the DWARF reader currently uses objfile::intern. This
accesses a shared data structure and so would be racy when used from
multiple threads. I don't believe this can happen right now, but
background reading could provoke this, and in any case it's better to
avoid this, just to be sure.
This patch changes this code to just use a std::string. A new type is
introduced to do hash table lookups, to avoid unnecessary copies.

- generates a backtrace.
The intent is that the backtrace is incorrect due to using the "wrong"
version, but actually it's correct. This is because the spacer functions
aren't large enough.
Fix this by increasing the size of the spacer functions by adding a dummy

This commits changes how errors are reported from the expression
parser. Previously, parser errors were reported like this:
(gdb) p a1 +}= 432
A syntax error in expression, near `}= 432'.
(gdb) p a1 +
A syntax error in expression, near `'.
The first case is fine, a user can figure out what's going wrong, but
the second case is a little confusing; as the error occurred at the
end of the expression GDB just reports the empty string to the user.
After this commit the first case is unchanged, but the second case now
reports like this:
(gdb) p a1 +
A syntax error in expression, near the end of `a1 +'.
Which I think is clearer. There is a possible issue if the expression
being parsed is very long, GDB will repeat the whole expression. But
this issue already exists in the standard case; if the error occurs
early in a long expression GDB will repeat everything after the syntax
error. So I've not worried about this case in my new code either,
which keeps things simpler.
I did consider trying to have multi-line errors here, in the style
that gcc produces, with some kind of '~~~~~^' marker on the second
line to indicate where the error occurred; but I rejected this due to
the places in GDB where we catch an error and repackage the message
within some longer string, I don't think multi-line error messages
would work well in that case. At a minimum it would require some
significant work in order to make all our error handling multi-line
aware.
I've added a couple of extra tests in gdb.base/exprs.exp.

Many (all?) of the expression parsers implement yyerror to handle
parser errors, and all of these functions are basically identical.
This commit adds a new parser_state::parse_error() function, which
implements the common error handling code, this function can then be
called from all the different yyerror functions.
The benefit of this is that (in a future commit) I can improve the
error output, and all the expression parsers will benefit.
This commit is pure refactoring though, and so, there should be no
user visible changes after this commit.

While working on a later commit in this series I realised that the
error() function doesn't support output styling. Due to the way that
output from error() calls is passed around within the exception
object and often combined with other output, it's not immediately
obvious to me if we should be trying to support styling in this
context or not.
On inspection, I found one place in GDB where we apparently try to
apply styling within the error() output (in procfs.c). I suspect this
error() call might not be tested.
Rather than try to implement styling in the error() output, right now
I'm proposing to just remove the attempt to style error() output.
This doesn't mean that someone shouldn't add error() styling in the
future, but right now, I'm not planning to do that, I just wanted to
fix this in passing.

Currently GDB when executing in reverse over multiple statements in a single

multiple commands to reach the previous line. GDB should stop at the first

And lo, we stopped in the middle of line 11! That is a bug, we should have
stepped back all the way to the beginning of the line. The "reverse-next"
should have fully undone the prior "next" command.
--------------------
This patch fixes the incorrect GDB behavior by ensuring that GDB stops at
the first instruction in the line.
The test case gdb.reverse/func-map-to-same-line.exp is added to testsuite
to verify this fix when the line table information is and is not available.
When running GDB's testsuite on aarch64-linux/Ubuntu 20.04 (also spotted on
the ppc backend), there are failures in gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp and
gdb.reverse/solib-reverse.exp.
The failure happens around the following code:
38 b[1] = shr2(17); /* middle part two */
40 b[0] = 6; b[1] = 9; /* generic statement, end part two */
42 shr1 ("message 1\n"); /* shr1 one */
Normal execution:
- step from line 38 will land on line 40.
- step from line 40 will land on line 42.
Reverse execution:
- step from line 42 will land on line 40.
- step from line 40 will land on line 40.
- step from line 40 will land on line 38.
The problem here is that line 40 contains two contiguous but distinct
PC ranges in the line table, like so:
Line 40 - [0x7ec ~ 0x7f4]
Line 40 - [0x7f4 ~ 0x7fc]
The two distinct ranges are generated because GCC started outputting source
column information, which GDB doesn't take into account at the moment.
When stepping forward from line 40, we skip both of these ranges and land on
line 42. When stepping backward from line 42, we stop at the start PC of the
second (or first, going backwards) range of line 40.
Since we've reached ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_start, we stop
stepping backwards.
The above issues were fixed by introducing a new function that looks for
adjacent PC ranges for the same line, until we notice a line change. Then
we take that as the start PC of the range. The new start PC for the range
is used for the control.step_range_start when setting up a step range.
The test case gdb.reverse/map-to-same-line.exp is added to test the fix
for the above reverse step issues.
Patch has been tested on PowerPC, X86 and AArch64 with no regressions.
This patch adds two new options to gdb_compile to specify if the compile
should or should not generate the line table information. The
options are supported on clang and gcc version 7 and newer.
Patch has been tested on PowerPC with both gcc and clang.
This commit adds a mechanism for GDB to detect the linetable opcode
DW_LNS_set_epilogue_begin. This opcode is set by compilers to indicate
that a certain instruction marks the point where the frame is destroyed.
While the standard allows for multiple points marked with epilogue_begin
in the same function, for performance reasons, the function that
searches for the epilogue address will only find the last address that
sets this flag for a given block.
This commit also changes amd64_stack_frame_destroyed_p_1 to attempt to
use the epilogue begin directly, and only if an epilogue can't be found
will it attempt heuristics based on the current instruction.
Finally, this commit also changes the dwarf assembler to be able to emit
epilogue-begin instructions, to make it easier to test this patch

Fortran provides additional entry points for subroutines and functions.
These entry points may use only a subset (or a different set) of the
parameters of the original subroutine. The entry points may be described
via the DWARF tag DW_TAG_entry_point.
This commit adds support for parsing the DW_TAG_entry_point DWARF tag.
Currently, between ifx/ifort/gfortran, only ifort is actually emitting
this tag. Both, ifx and gfortran use the DW_TAG_subprogram tag as
workaround/alternative. Thus, this patch really only adds more ifort
support. Even so, some of the attached tests still fail for ifort, due
to some wrong line info generated for the entry points in ifort.
After this patch it is possible to set a breakpoint in gdb with the
ifort compiled example at the entry points 'foo' and 'foobar', which was not
possible before.
As gcc and ifx do not emit the tag I also added a test to gdb.dwarf2
which uses some underlying c compiled code and adds some Fortran style DWARF
to it emitting the DW_TAG_entry_point. Before this patch it was not
possible to actually define breakpoint at the entry point tags.
For gfortran there actually exists a bug on bugzilla, asking for the use
of DW_TAG_entry_point over DW_TAG_subprogram:

Some spots loop on the frame chain to find the first next non-inline
frame, and pass that as the "next frame" to
value::allocate_register_lazy / value::allocate_register. This is
necessary if the value is used in the process of computing the id of
"this frame". If the frame next to "this frame" is inlined into "this
frame", then you that next frame won't have a computed id yet. You have
to go past that to find the next non-inline frame, which will have a
computed id.
In other cases, it's fine to store the id of an inline frame as the
"next frame id" in a register struct value. When trying to unwind a
register from it, it will just call inline_frame_prev_register, which
will forward the request to the next next frame, until we hit the next
physical frame.
I think it would make things simpler to just never store the id of an
inline frame as the next frame id of register struct values, and go with
the first next non-inline frame directly. This way, we don't have to
wonder which code paths have to skip inline frames when creating
register values and which don't.
So, change value::allocate_register_lazy to do that work, and remove the
loops for the callers that did it.

Remove VALUE_REGNUM, replace it with a method on struct value. Set
`m_location.reg.regnum` directly from value::allocate_register_lazy,
which is fine because allocate_register_lazy is a static creation
function for struct value.

As explained in the comment removed by the previous commit "gdb: pass
non-nullptr frame to gdbarch_value_from_register in
address_from_register", address_from_register copies some implementation
bits from value_from_register:
/* This routine may be called during early unwinding, at a time
where the ID of FRAME is not yet known. Calling value_from_register
would therefore abort in get_frame_id. However, since we only need
a temporary value that is never used as lvalue, we actually do not
really need to set its VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID. Therefore, we re-implement
the core of value_from_register, but use the null_frame_id. */
This is no longer relevant, since we now create a value with a valid next
frame id, so change address_from_register to use value_from_register.

By now, all register struct values should have a valid next frame id
(assuming they are created using value::allocate_register or
value::allocate_register_lazy), so there should be no need to pass a
frame alongside the value to read_frame_register_value. Remove the
frame parameter and adjust read_frame_register_value accordingly.
While at it, make read_frame_register_value static, it's only used in
findvar.c.

Some places that create register struct values don't use register_type
to obtain the value type. This prevents them from using the current
version of value::allocate_register. One spot (value_of_register_lazy)
also creates a lazy register value.
Add a value::allocate_register_lazy method. Add some type parameters
to value::allocate_register and value::allocate_register_lazy, to let
the caller specify the type to use for the value. The parameters
default to nullptr, in which case we use register_type to obtain the
type.

address_from_register used to pass null_frame_id to
gdbarch_value_from_register as "this frame"'s id, because it's possible
for it to be called during unwind, when "this frame"'s id is not yet
known. This create an oddity where those register struct values are
created without a valid next frame id. I would much prefer for things
to be consistent and have all register struct values to have a valid
next frame id.
Since gdbarch_value_from_register takes a frame_info_ptr now, rather
than a frame_id, we can pass down "this frame", even if it doesn't have
a valid id. gdbarch_value_from_register implementations can obtain the
next frame from it.
However, it's possible for the "this frame"'s next frame to be an
inline frame, inlined in "this frame", in which case that next frame's
id is also not known. So, loop until we get to the next non-inline
frame (which is actually the frame where registers for "this frame" are
unwound from). This is the same thing that we do in
value_of_register_lazy, for the same reason. A later patch will factor
out this "while next frame is inline" loop to apply it to all register
struct values, so this is somewhat temporary.

Pass a frame_info_ptr rather than a frame_id. This avoids having to do
a frame lookup on the callee side, when we can just pass the frame down
directly.
I think this fixes a bug in rs6000-tdep.c where the id of the wrong
frame was set to `VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (v)`.

I don't think that setting the next frame id is needed there, all code
paths in cooked_read_value do set it properly, AFAIK.

This changes the test suite to look for rogue DAP exceptions in the
log file, and issue a "fail" if one is found.

I noticed that the DAP attach test case (and similarly
remoted-dap.exp) had a rogue exception stack trace in the log. It
turns out that an attach will generate a stop that does not have a
reason.
This patch fixes the problem in the _on_stop event listener by making
it a bit more careful when examining the event reason. It also adds
some machinery so that attach stops can be suppressed, which I think
is the right thing to do.

This adds a new parameter to control the DAP logging level. By
default, "expected" exceptions are not logged, but the parameter lets
the user change this when more logging is desired.
This also changes a couple of spots to avoid logging the stack trace
for a DAPException.
This patch also documents the existing DAP logging parameter. I
forgot to document this before.

This introduces a new DAPException class, and then changes various
spots in the DAP implementation to wrap "expected" exceptions in this.
This class will help detect rogue exceptions caused by bugs in the
implementation.

In 2023-12-14 "gdb: make get_frame_register_bytes take the next frame"
(9fc79b4236), *_register_to_value functions were made to (a) call
get_next_frame_sentinel_okay (frame) (b) pass that next frame to
get_frame_register_bytes.
Step (b) was omitted for rs6000-tdep.c; this manifests as a regression on
PPC platforms for e.g. O2_float_param: instead of seeing…
Temporary breakpoint 1, callee.increment (val=val@entry=99.0, msg=...) at callee.adb:19
… we get "optimized_out" for val. Passing next_frame to
get_frame_register_bytes fixes the issue.
