The gdbarch "return_value" can't correctly handle variably-sized
types. The problem here is that the TYPE_LENGTH of such a type is 0,
until the type is resolved, which requires reading memory. However,
gdbarch_return_value only accepts a buffer as an out parameter.
Fixing this requires letting the implementation of the gdbarch method
resolve the type and return a value -- that is, both the contents and
the new type.
After an attempt at this, I realized I wouldn't be able to correctly
update all implementations (there are ~80) of this method. So,
instead, this patch adds a new method that falls back to the current
method, and it updates gdb to only call the new method. This way it's
possible to incrementally convert the architectures that I am able to
test.
amd64-tdep.c could crash when 'finish'ing from a function whose return
type had variable length. In this situation, the value will be passed
by reference, and this patch avoids the crash.
(Note that this does not fully fix the bug reported, but it does fix
the crash, so it seems worthwhile to land independently.)

This is a regression due to kernel commit e84ba47e313d ("x86/fpu: Hook up PKRU
onto ptrace()"). This is fixed by recent kernel commit 4a804c4f8356
("x86/fpu: Allow PKRU to be (once again) written by ptrace.").
The regression occurs for kernel versions v5.14-rc1 (the first tag containing
the regression) up to but excluding v6.2-rc1 (the first tag containing the fix).
Fix this by adding an xfail for the appropriate kernel versions.

The strlen is an ifunc, and consequently during the call to
call_function_by_hand_dummy for "p strlen (p)" another call
to call_function_by_hand_dummy is used to resolve the ifunc.
This invalidates the get_current_frame () result in the outer call.

Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29941
The Debugger Adapter Protocol is a JSON-RPC protocol that IDEs can use
to communicate with debuggers. You can find more information here:
https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/
Frequently this is implemented as a shim, but it seemed to me that GDB
could implement it directly, via the Python API. This patch is the
initial implementation.
DAP is implemented as a new "interp". This is slightly weird, because
it doesn't act like an ordinary interpreter -- for example it doesn't
implement a command syntax, and doesn't use GDB's ordinary event loop.
However, this seemed like the best approach overall.
To run GDB in this mode, use:
gdb -i=dap
The DAP code will accept JSON-RPC messages on stdin and print
responses to stdout. GDB redirects the inferior's stdout to a new
pipe so that output can be encapsulated by the protocol.
The Python code uses multiple threads to do its work. Separate
threads are used for reading JSON from the client and for writing JSON
to the client. All GDB work is done in the main thread. (The first
implementation used asyncio, but this had some limitations, and so I
rewrote it to use threads instead.)
This is not a complete implementation of the protocol, but it does
implement enough to demonstrate that the overall approach works.
There is a rudimentary test suite. It uses a JSON parser written in
pure Tcl. This parser is under the same license as Tcl itself, so I
felt it was acceptable to simply import it into the tree.
There is also a bit of documentation -- just documenting the new
interpreter name.
The cced7cacec ("gdb: preserve `|` in connection details string")
commit added '|' detection and removal to ser-pipe.c, but missed to add it
to ser-mingw.c.
This results in the error message below for MinGW hosts:
error starting child process '| <executable> <args>': CreateProcess: No such file or directory
This commit add the missing '|' detection and removal to ser-mingw.c.
I noticed that, when using gdbserver, gdb might print:
Reading /usr/lib/debug/lib64//libcap.so.2.48-2.48-4.fc36.x86_64.debug from remote target...
Reading target:/usr/lib/debug/lib64//libcap.so.2.48-2.48-4.fc36.x86_64.debug from remote target...
The second line has the "target:" prefix, but from the code it's clear
that this string is being passed verbatim to gdbserver -- which seems
wrong.
I filed PR remote/29929 for this.
The problem here is that find_separate_debug_file uses gdb_sysroot
without checking to see if it starts with the "target:" prefix. This
patch changes this code to be a little more careful.

[ Partial resubmission of an earlier submission by Andrew (
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2012-September/096347.html ), so
listing him as co-author. ]
With x86_64-linux and target board unix/-m32, we have:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Exception #10^M
^M
Breakpoint 3, throw_exception_1 (e=10) at py-finish-breakpoint2.cc:23^M
23 throw new int (e);^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: \
check FinishBreakpoint in catch()
...
The following scenario happens:
- set breakpoint in throw_exception_1, a function that throws an exception
- continue
- hit breakpoint, with call stack main.c:38 -> throw_exception_1
- set a finish breakpoint
- continue
- hit the breakpoint again, with call stack main.c:48 -> throw_exception
-> throw_exception_1
Due to the exception, the function call did not properly terminate, and the
finish breakpoint didn't trigger. This is expected behaviour.
However, the intention is that gdb detects this situation at the next stop
and calls the out_of_scope callback, which would result here in this test-case
in a rather confusing "exception did not finish" message. So the problem is
that this message doesn't show up, in other words, the out_of_scope callback
is not called.
[ Note that the fact that the situation is detected only at the next stop
(wherever that happens to be) could be improved upon, and the earlier
submission did that by setting a longjmp breakpoint. But I'm considering this
problem out-of-scope for this patch. ]
Note that the message does show up later, at thread exit:
...
[Inferior 1 (process 20046) exited with code 0236]^M
exception did not finish ...^M
...
The decision on whether to call the out_of_scope call back is taken in
bpfinishpy_detect_out_scope_cb, and the interesting bit is here:
...
if (b->pspace == current_inferior ()->pspace
&& (!target_has_registers ()
|| frame_find_by_id (b->frame_id) == NULL))
bpfinishpy_out_of_scope (finish_bp);
...
In the case of the thread exit, the callback triggers because
target_has_registers () == 0.
So why doesn't the callback trigger in the case of the breakpoint?
Well, the b->frame_id is the frame_id of the frame of main (the frame
in which the finish breakpoint is supposed to trigger), so AFAIU
frame_find_by_id (b->frame_id) == NULL will only be true once we've
left main, at which point I guess we don't stop till thread exit.
Fix this by saving the frame in which the finish breakpoint was created, and
using frame_find_by_id () == NULL on that frame instead, such that we have:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Exception #10^M
^M
Breakpoint 3, throw_exception_1 (e=10) at py-finish-breakpoint2.cc:23^M
23 throw new int (e);^M
exception did not finish ...^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: \
check FinishBreakpoint in catch()
...
Still, the test-case is failing because it's setup to match the behaviour that
we get on x86_64-linux with target board unix/-m64:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Exception #10^M
stopped at ExceptionFinishBreakpoint^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint2.exp: \
check FinishBreakpoint in catch()
...
So what happens here? Again, due to the exception, the function call did not
properly terminate, but the finish breakpoint still triggers. This is somewhat
unexpected. This happens because it just so happens to be that the frame
return address at which the breakpoint is set, is also the first instruction
after the exception has been handled. This is a know problem, filed as
PR29909, so KFAIL it, and modify the test-case to expect the out_of_scope
callback.
Also add a breakpoint after setting the finish breakpoint but before throwing
the exception, to check that we don't call the out_of_scope callback too early.

gdb/testsuite: new test for recent dwarf reader issue
A new test (gdb.base/signed-builtin-types.exp) was added that made use
of 'info sources' to figure out if the debug information for a
particular object file had been fully expanded or not. Unfortunately
some lines of the 'info sources' output can be very long, this was
observed on some systems where the debug information for the
dynamic-linker was installed, in this case, the list of source files
associated with the dynamic linker was so long it would cause expect's
internal buffer to overflow.
This commit switches from using 'info sources' to 'maint print
objfile', the output from the latter command is more compact, but
also, can be restricted to a single named object file.
With this change in place I am no longer seeing buffer overflow errors
from expect when running gdb.base/signed-builtin-types.exp.
I see this fail since commit 9911806278 ("Use toplevel configure for
GMP and MPFR for gdb"):
FAIL: gdb.base/float128.exp: show configuration
The test fails to find --with-mpfr or --without-mpfr in the "show
configuration" output. Since MPFR has become mandatory, we can just
remove that check and simplify the test to assume MPFR support is there.

This patch uses the toplevel configure parts for GMP/MPFR for
gdb. The only thing is that gdb now requires MPFR for building.
Before it was a recommended but not required library.
Also this allows building of GMP and MPFR with the toplevel
directory just like how it is done for GCC.
We now error out in the toplevel configure of the version
of GMP and MPFR that is wrong.
OK after GDB 13 branches? Build gdb 3 ways:
with GMP and MPFR in the toplevel (static library used at that point for both)
With only MPFR in the toplevel (GMP distro library used and MPFR built from source)
With neither GMP and MPFR in the toplevel (distro libraries used)
Changes from v1:
* Updated gdb/README and gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo.
* Regenerated using unmodified autoconf-2.69

When asking GDB to print a variable from an imported namespace, we only
want to see variables imported in lines that the inferior has already
gone through, as is being tested last in gdb.cp/nsusing.exp. However
with the proposed change to gdb.cp/nsusing.exp, we get the following
failures:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nsusing.exp: continue to breakpoint: marker10 stop
print x
$9 = 911
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/nsusing.exp: print x, before using statement
next
15 y += x;
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nsusing.exp: using namespace M
print x
$10 = 911
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nsusing.exp: print x, only using M
Showing that the feature wasn't functioning properly, it just so
happened that gcc ordered the namespaces in a convenient way.
This happens because GDB doesn't take into account the line where the
"using namespace" directive is written. So long as it shows up in the
current scope, we assume it is valid.
To fix this, add a new member to struct using_direct, that stores the
line where the directive was written, and a new function that informs if
the using directive is valid already.
Unfortunately, due to a GCC bug, the failure still shows up. Compilers
that set the declaration line of the using directive correctly (such as
Clang) do not show such a bug, so the test includes an XFAIL for gcc
code.
Finally, because the final test of gdb.cp/nsusing.exp has turned into
multiple that all would need XFAILs for older GCCs (<= 4.3), and that
GCC is very old, if it is detected, the test just exits early.

These headers define the register numbers for each port to implement
the sim_fetch_register & sim_store_register interfaces. While gdb
uses these, the APIs are part of the sim, not gdb. Move the headers
out of the gdb/ include namespace and into sim/ instead.
The libtool patch broke install-strip of gdb:
/bin/sh ../../gdb/../mkinstalldirs /src/gdb/inst/share/gdb/python/gdb
transformed_name=`t='s,y,y,'; \
echo gdb | sed -e "$t"` ; \
if test "x$transformed_name" = x; then \
transformed_name=gdb ; \
else \
true ; \
fi ; \
/bin/sh ../../gdb/../mkinstalldirs /src/gdb/inst/bin ; \
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install STRIPPROG='strip' /bin/sh /src/gdb/gdb.git/install-sh -c -s \
gdb \
/src/gdb/inst/bin/$transformed_name ; \
/bin/sh ../../gdb/../mkinstalldirs /src/gdb/inst/include/gdb ; \
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 jit-reader.h /src/gdb/inst/include/gdb/jit-reader.h
libtool: install: `/src/gdb/inst/bin/gdb' is not a directory
libtool: install: Try `libtool --help --mode=install' for more information.
Since INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV is no longer at the beginning of the command, the
gdb executable is not installed with install-strip.
quick_symbol_functions::relocated is only needed for psymtabs, and
there it is only needed for Rust. However, because we've switched the
DWARF reader away from psymtabs, this means there's no longer a need
for this method at all.
MI version 1 is long since obsolete. Several years ago, I filed
PR mi/23170 for this. I think it's finally time to remove this.
Any users of MI 1 can and should upgrade to a newer version.

Commit b5661ff2 ("gdb: fix possible use-after-free when
executing commands") used lookup_cmd_exact () to lookup
command again after its execution to avoid possible
use-after-free error.
However this change broke test gdb.base/define.exp which
defines a post-hook for subcommand ("target testsuite").
In this case, lookup_cmd_exact () returned NULL because
there's no command 'testsuite' in top-level commands.
This commit fixes this case by looking up the command again
using the original command line via lookup_cmd ().

Now that the GDB 13 branch has been created,
this commit bumps the version number in gdb/version.in to
14.0.50.DATE-git
For the record, the GDB 13 branch was created
from commit 71c90666e6.
Also, as a result of the version bump, the following changes
have been made in gdb/testsuite:
* gdb.base/default.exp: Change $_gdb_major to 14.
As of 1bcb0708f2 ("gdb/linux-nat: Check whether /proc/pid/mem is
writable"), GDB checks if /proc/pid/mem is writable. This is done
early at GDB startup, in order to get a consistent warning, instead of
a warning that depends on whenever GDB writes to inferior memory.
PR gdb/29907 points out that some build systems (like QEMU's,
apparently) may call 'gdb --version' to check GDB's presence & its
version on the system, and that Gentoo's build process has sandboxing
which blocks the /proc/pid/mem access and thus GDB warns, which
results in build fails.
To help with that, this patch delays the /proc/pid/mem check until we
start or attach to an inferior. Ends up potentially emiting a warning
close where we already emit other ptrace- and /proc- related warnings,
which just Feels Right.

Once in a while I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.threads/detach-step-over.exp: \
breakpoint-condition-evaluation=host: target-non-stop=off: non-stop=off: \
displaced=off: iter 1: all threads running
...
In can easily reproduce this by doing:
...
# Wait a bit, to give time for the threads to hit the
# breakpoint.
- sleep 1
return true
...
Fix this by counting the running threads in a loop, effectively allowing 10
seconds (instead of 1) for the threads to start running, but only sleeping if
needed.
Reduces total execution time from 1m27s to 56s.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
When the source program contains a goto label, it turns out it's
actually pretty hard for a user to find out more about that label.
For example:
(gdb) p some_label
No symbol "some_label" in current context.
(gdb) disassemble some_label
No symbol "some_label" in current context.
(gdb) x/10i some_label
No symbol "some_label" in current context.
(gdb) break some_label
Breakpoint 2 at 0x401135: file /tmp/py-label-symbol-value.c, line 35.
In all cases, some_label is a goto label within the current frame.
Only placing a breakpoint on the label worked.
This all seems a little strange to me, it feels like asking about a
goto label would not be an unreasonable thing for a user to do.
This commit doesn't fix any of the above issues, I mention them just
to provide a little context for why the following issue has probably
not been seen before.
It turns out there is one way a user can access the symbol for a goto
label, through the Python API:
python frame = gdb.selected_frame()
python frame_pc = frame.pc()
python block = gdb.current_progspace().block_for_pc(frame_pc)
python symbol,_ = gdb.lookup_symbol('some_label', block, gdb.SYMBOL_LABEL_DOMAIN)
python print(str(symbol.value()))
../../src/gdb/findvar.c:204: internal-error: store_typed_address: Assertion `type->is_pointer_or_reference ()' failed.
The problem is that label symbols are created using the
builtin_core_addr type, which is a pure integer type.
When GDB tries to fetch the value of a label symbol then we end up in
findvar.c, in the function language_defn::read_var_value, in the
LOC_LABEL case. From here store_typed_address is called to store the
address of the label into a value object with builtin_core_addr type.
The problem is that store_typed_address requires that the destination
type be a pointer or reference, which the builtin_core_addr type is
not.
Now it's not clear what type a goto label address should have, but
GCC has an extension that allows users to take the address of a goto
label (using &&), in that case the result is of type 'void *'.
I propose that when we convert the CORE_ADDR value to a GDB value
object, we use builtin_func_ptr type instead of builtin_core_addr,
this means the result will be of type 'void (*) ()'. The benefit of
this approach is that when gdbarch_address_to_pointer is called the
target type will be correctly identified as a pointer to code, which
should mean any architecture specific adjustments are done correctly.
We can then cast the new value to 'void *' type with a call to
value_cast_pointer, this should not change the values bit
representation, but will just update the type.
After this asking for the value of a label symbol works just fine:
(gdb) python print(str(symbol.value()))
0x401135 <main+35>
And the type is maybe what we'd expect:
(gdb) python print(str(symbol.value().type))
void *
Replace the use of struct buffer in linux-osdata.c with std::string.
There is no change in the logic, so there should be no user-visible
change.

This commit adds a test that creates a Python command that redefines
itself during its execution. This is to test use-after-free in
execute_command ().
This test needs run with ASan enabled in order to fail when it
