Fix build regression introduced by 0860c437cb ("btrace: Store
btrace_insn in an std::vector"):
src/gdb/btrace.c: In function ‘void ftrace_add_pt(btrace_thread_info*, pt_insn_decoder*, int*, std::vector<unsigned int>&)’:
src/gdb/btrace.c:1329:38: error: invalid initialization of reference of type ‘const btrace_insn&’ from expression of type ‘btrace_insn*’

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-09-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* btrace.c (ftrace_add_pt): Pass btrace_insn to
ftrace_update_insns by reference instead of pointer.
Because it contains a non-POD type field (flags), the type btrace_insn
should be new'ed/delete'd. Replace the VEC (btrace_insn_s) in
btrace_function with an std::vector.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* btrace.h (btrace_insn_s, DEF_VEC_O (btrace_insn_s)): Remove.
(btrace_function) <insn>: Change type to use std::vector.
* btrace.c (ftrace_debug, ftrace_call_num_insn,
ftrace_find_call, ftrace_new_gap, ftrace_update_function,
ftrace_update_insns, ftrace_compute_global_level_offset,
btrace_stitch_bts, btrace_clear, btrace_insn_get,
btrace_insn_end, btrace_insn_next, btrace_insn_prev): Adjust to
change to std::vector.
(ftrace_update_insns): Adjust to change to std::vector, change
type of INSN parameter.
(btrace_compute_ftrace_bts): Adjust call to ftrace_update_insns.
* record-btrace.c (btrace_call_history_insn_range,
btrace_compute_src_line_range,
record_btrace_frame_prev_register): Adjust to change to
std::vector.
* python/py-record-btrace.c (recpy_bt_func_instructions): Adjust
to change to std::vector.
This removes save_inferior_ptid, a cleanup function, in favor of
scoped_restore.
This also fixes a possible (it seems unlikely that it could happen in
practice) memory leak -- save_inferior_ptid should have used
make_cleanup_dtor, because it allocated memory.
I tested this on the buildbot. However, there are two caveats to
this. First, sometimes it seems I misread the results. Second, I
think this patch touches some platforms that can't be tested by the
buildbot. So, extra care seems warranted.

This used to hold a pair of pointers to the previous and next function segment
that belong to this function call. Replace with a pair of indices into the
vector of function segments.
This used to hold a pair of pointers to the previous and next function segment
in execution flow order. It is no longer necessary as the previous and next
function segments now are simply the previous and next elements in the vector
of function segments.
These are no longer needed and might hold invalid addresses once we change the
vector of function segment pointers into a vector of function segment objects
where a reallocation of the vector changes the address of its elements.
Directly insert new btrace_function pointers into the vector and have the
vector own these pointers. This allows us to later retrieve these objects by
their number directly after creation whereas at the moment we have to wait
until the vector is fully populated.
This requires to pull btrace_thread_info through different functions but
cleans up the code for freeing the trace.
The user would always get the instruction_history and function_call_history
objects of the current thread, not the thread for which the gdb.Record object
was created.
The attached testcase fails without this patch and passes with the patch.
struct btrace_insn is not a POD [1] so we shouldn't be using memset to
initialize it [2].
Use list-initialization instead, wrapped in a "pt insn to btrace insn"
function, which looks like just begging to be added next to the
existing pt_reclassify_insn/pt_btrace_insn_flags functions.
[1] - because its field "flags" is not POD, because enum_flags has a
non-trivial default ctor.

* btrace.c (pt_btrace_insn_flags): Change parameter type to

(pt_btrace_insn): New function.
(ftrace_add_pt): Remove memset call and use pt_btrace_insn.
Currently, btrace_find_insn_by_number will iterate over all function call
segments to find the one that contains the needed instruction. This linear
search is too slow for the upcoming Python bindings that will use this
function to access instructions. This patch introduces a vector in struct
btrace_thread_info that holds pointers to all recorded function segments and
allows to use binary search.
The proper solution is to turn the underlying tree into a vector of objects
and use indices for access. This requires more work. A patch set is
currently being worked on and will be published later.

On 64-bit FC25, the _dl_runtime_resolve function uses a conditional branch to
'call' a particular variant optimized for that system:

End of assembler dump.
When computing the function-level trace, btrace treats this as a switch from
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_opt to _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex. We know that we
switched functions but we can't really say in which caller/callee relationship
those two functions are.
In addition to preserving the indentaion level, also preserve the caller
information. This is a heuristic since we don't really know. But at least in
this case, this seems to be the right thing to do.
This fixes a fail in gdb.btrace/rn-dl-bind.exp on 64-bit FC25.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_new_switch): Preserve up link and flags.
When recording is started for a running thread, GDB was able to start tracing
but then failed to read registers to insert the initial entry for the current
PC. We don't really need that initial entry if we don't know where exactly we
started recording. Skip that step to allow recording to be started while
threads are running.
If we do run into errors, we need to undo the tracing enable to not leak this
thread. The operation did not complete so our caller won't clean up this
thread.
For the BTRACE_FORMAT_PT btrace format, we don't need that initial entry since
it will be recorded in the trace. We can omit the call to btrace_add_pc.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Most of the time, the trace should be in one piece. This case is handled fine
by GDB. In some cases, however, there may be gaps in the trace. They result
from trace decode errors or from overflows.
A gap in the trace means we lost an unknown amount of trace. Gaps can be very
small, such as a few instructions in the same function, or they can be rather
big. We may, for example, lose a few function calls or returns. The trace may
continue in a different function and we likely don't know how we got there.
Even though we can't say how the program executed across a gap, higher levels
may not be impacted too much by it. Let's assume we have functions a-e and a
trace that looks roughly like this:
a
\
b b
\ /
c <gap> c
/
d d
\ /
e
Even though we can't say for sure, it is likely that b and c are the same
function instance before and after the gap. This patch is trying to connect
the c and b function segments across the gap.
This will add a to the back trace of b on the right hand side. The changes are
reflected in GDB's internal representation of the trace and will improve:
- the output of "record function-call-history /c"
- the output of "backtrace" in replay mode
- source stepping in replay mode
will be improved indirectly via the improved back trace
I don't have an automated test for this patch; decode errors will be fixed and
overflows occur sporadically and are quite rare. I tested it by hacking GDB to
provoke a decode error and on the expected gap in the gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp
test.
The issue is that we can't predict where we will be able to re-sync in case of
errors. For the expected decode error in gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp, for example, we
may be able to re-sync somewhere in dlclose, in test, in main, or not at all.
Here's one example run of gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp with and without this patch.

It worked nicely in this case but it may, of course, also lead to weird
connections; it is a heuristic, after all.
It works best when the gap is small and the trace pieces are long.

When encountering a return for which we have not seen a corresponding call, GDB
starts a new back trace from level -1, i.e. from the level of the first function

In the presence of trace gaps, this may cause some rather big jump.

In this case it will look like we were able to connect the trace parts across
the disabled gap. We were not. More work is required to achieve this.
In the general case, the function-call history for the two trace parts won't
match. They may be off by a few levels or they may be entirely different. All
this patch does is to preserve the indentation level of the record
function-call-history command.
The disabled gap is caused by a sysenter not returning to the next instruction.

I've seen this on 32-bit Fedora 23. I have not investigated what causes this
and whether we can avoid the gap in the first place. Let's first try to make
GDB handle such gaps more gracefully.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_new_return): Start from the previous function's level
if we can't find a matching call for a return.
An unconditional jump to the start of a function typically indicates a tail
call.
If we can't determine the start of the function at the destination address, we
used to treat it as a tail call, as well. This results in lots of tail calls
for code for which we don't have symbol information.
Restrict the heuristic to only consider jumps as tail calls that switch
functions in the case where we can't determine the start of a function. This
effectively disables tail call detection for code without symbol information.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_update_function): Update tail call heuristic.
GDB ignores trace gaps from decode errors or overflows at the beginning of the
trace. There isn't really a gap in the trace; the trace just starts a bit
later than expected.
In cases where there is no trace at all or where the trace is smaller than
expected, this may hide the reason for the missing trace.
Allow leading trace gaps. They will be shown as decode warnings and by the
record function-call-history command.

Remove the dead code that was supposed to print a gaps warning at the end of
trace decode. This isn't really needed since we now print a warning for each
gap.
gdb/
* btrace.c (ftrace_add_pt): Fix gap indication. Add warning for non-
contiguous trace and overflow. Rephrase trace decode warning and print
instruction number. Remove dead gaps warning.
(btrace_compute_ftrace_bts): Rephrase warnings and print instruction
number.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-15 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* btrace.c (pt_btrace_insn_flags): Change return type to
btrace_insn_flags. Use btrace_insn_flags for local.
Add a new function to print a thread ID, in the style of paddress,
plongest, etc. and adjust all CLI-reachable paths to use it.
This gives us a single place to tweak to print inferior-qualified
thread IDs later:
- [Switching to thread 1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
+ [Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
etc., though for now, this has no user-visible change.
No regressions on x86_64 Fedora 20.

In btrace_pt_readmem_callback, we read memory inside TRY/CATCH and return in
case of an error return value. This corrupts the cleanup chain, which
eventually results in a SEGV when doing or discarding cleanups later on.

If GDB has been configured without libipt support, i.e. HAVE_LIBIPT is
undefined, and is running on a system that supports Intel(R) Processor Trace,
GDB will run into an internal error when trying to decode the trace.

gdb/btrace.c:971: internal-error: Unexpected branch trace format.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
This requires a system with Linux kernel 4.1 or later running on a 5th
Generation Intel Core processor or later.
The issue is documented as PR 19297.
When trying to enable branch tracing, in addition to checking the target
support for the requested branch tracing format, also check whether GDB
supports. it.
gdb/
* btrace.c (btrace_enable): Check whether HAVE_LIBIPT is defined.
testsuite/
* lib/gdb.exp (skip_btrace_pt_tests): Check for a "GDB does not
support" error.
Indicate speculatively executed instructions with a leading '?'. We use the
space that is normally used for the PC prefix. In the case where the
instruction at the current PC had been executed speculatively before, the PC
prefix will be partially overwritten resulting in "?> ".
As a side-effect, the /p modifier to omit the PC prefix in the "record
instruction-history" command now uses a 3-space PC prefix " " in order to
have enough space for the speculative execution indication.

Fix the ARI warning about the use of unsigned long long. We can't use
ULONGEST as this is defined unsigned long on 64-bit systems. This will
result in a compile error when storing a pointer to an unsigned long long
structure field (declared in perf_event.h as __u64) in a ULONGEST * variable.
Use size_t to hold the buffer size inside GDB and __u64 when interfacing the
Linux kernel.

to UINT_MAX. Check for overflows when using DATA_HEAD from the perf
mmap page.
(linux_enable_pt): Change the type of PAGES and SIZE. Restrict the
buffer size to UINT_MAX.

maint info btrace
Print information about branch tracing internals.
maint btrace packet-history
Print the raw branch tracing data.
maint btrace clear-packet-history
Discard the stored raw branch tracing data.
maint btrace clear
Discard all branch tracing data. It will be fetched and processed
anew by the next "record" command.
