This patch removes VEC (mem_region). Doing so requires touching a lot
of little things here and there.
The fields in mem_attrib are now initialized during construction. The
values match those that were in default_mem_attrib (now removed).
unknown_mem_attrib is also removed, and replaced with a static method
(mem_attrib::unknown) that returns the equivalent.
mem_region is initialized in a way similar to mem_region_init (now
removed) did.
I found the organization of mem_region_list and target_mem_region_list a
bit confusing. Sometimes mem_region_list points to the same vector as
target_mem_region_list (and therefore does not own it), and sometimes
(when the user manually edits the mem regions) points to another vector,
and in this case owns it. To avoid this ambiguity, I think it is
simpler to have two vectors, one for target-defined regions and one for
user-defined regions, and have mem_region_list point to one or the
other. There are now no vector objects dynamically allocated, both are
static.
The make-target-delegates script does not generate valid code when a
target method returns a type with a parameter list. For this reason, I
created a typedef (mem_region_vector) that's only used in the target_ops
structure. If you speak perl, you are welcome to improve the script!
Regtested on the buildbot.

When debugging two inferiors (or more) against gdbserver, and the
inferiors have different architectures, such as e.g., on x86_64
GNU/Linux and one inferior is 64-bit while the other is 32-bit, then
GDB can get confused with the different architectures in a couple
spots.
In both cases I ran into, GDB incorrectly ended up using the
architecture of whatever happens to be the selected inferior instead
of the architecture of some other given inferior:
#1 - When parsing the expedited registers in stop replies.
#2 - In the default implementation of the target_thread_architecture
target method.
These resulted in instances of the infamous "Remote 'g' packet reply
is too long" error. For example, with the test added in this commit,
we get:
~~~
Continuing.
Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 440 bytes, got 816 bytes): ad064000000000000[snip]

This changes read_memory_robust to return a std::vector, allowing the
removal of free_memory_read_result_vector and associated cleanups.
This patch also changes the functions it touches to be a bit more
robust with regards to deallocation; it's perhaps possible that
read_memory_robust could have leaked in some situations.
This patch is based on my earlier series to remove some MI cleanups.

This adds two add_cmd overloads: one whose callback takes a const char *,

for the non-const variants to be removed entirely.

For some reason I ended up staring at some of the "int flags" in
btrace-related code, and I got confused because I had no clue what the

Now that the to_fetch_registers, to_store_registers and
to_prepare_to_store target methods don't rely on the value of
inferior_ptid anymore, we can remove a bunch of now unnecessary setting
and restoring of inferior_ptid.
The asserts added recently in target_fetch_registers and
target_store_registers, which validate that inferior_ptid matches the
regcache's ptid, must go away. It's the whole point of this effort, to
not require inferior_ptid to have a particular value when calling these
functions.
One thing that I noticed is how sol-thread.c's ps_lgetregs and friends
use the current value of inferior_ptid instead of what's passed as
argument (ph->ptid), unlike proc-service.c's versions of the same
functions. Is it expected? I left it like this in the current patch,
but unless there's a good reason for it to be that way, I guess we
should make it use the parameter.

inferior_ptid.

We are currently assuming that regcache->ptid is equal to inferior_ptid
when we call target_fetch/store_registers. These asserts just validate
that assumption. Also, since the following patches will change target
code to use regcache->ptid instead of inferior_ptid, asserting that they
are the same should ensure that our changes don't have any unintended
consequences.

Years ago we contributed flash programming patches upstream. The following
patch is a leftover one that complements that functionality by adding a new
command to erase all reported flash memory blocks.
The command is most useful when we're dealing with flash-enabled targets
(mostly bare-metal) and we need to reset the board for some reason.
The wiping out of flash memory regions should help the target come up with a
known clean state from which the user can load a new image and resume
debugging. It is convenient enough to do this from the debugger, and there is
also an MI command to expose this functionality to the IDE's.

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.
Currently, with "maint set target-non-stop on", that is, when gdb
connects with the non-stop/asynchronous variant of the remote
protocol, even with "set non-stop off", GDB always sends one vCont
packet per thread resumed. This patch makes GDB aggregate and
coalesce vCont packets, so we send vCont packets like "vCont;s:p1.1;c"
in non-stop mode too.
Basically, this is done by:
- Adding a new target method target_commit_resume that is called
after calling target_resume one or more times. When resuming a
batch of threads, we'll only call target_commit_resume once after
calling target_resume for all threads.
- Making the remote target defer sending the actual vCont packet to
target_commit_resume.
Special care must be taken to avoid sending a vCont action with a
"wildcard" thread-id (all threads of process / all threads) when that
would resume threads/processes that should not be resumed. See
remote_commit_resume comments for details.
Unlike all-stop's remote_resume implementation, this handles the case
of too many actions resulting in a too-big vCont packet, by flushing
the vCont packet and starting a new one.
E.g., imagining that the "c" action in:
vCont;s:1;c
overflows the packet buffer, we split the actions like:
vCont;s:1
vCont;c
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "maint set
target-non-stop on".
Also tested with a hack that makes remote_commit_resume flush the vCont
packet after every action appended (which caught a few bugs).

This simple commit consolidates the API of
target_supports_multi_process. Since both GDB and gdbserver use the
same function prototype, all that was needed was to move create this
prototype on gdb/target/target.h and turn the macros declared on
gdb/{,gdbserver/}target.h into actual functions.

This patch consolidates the API of target_mourn_inferior between GDB
and gdbserver, in my continuing efforts to make sharing the
fork_inferior function possible between both.
GDB's version of the function did not care about the inferior's ptid
being mourned, but gdbserver's needed to know this information. Since
it actually makes sense to pass the ptid as an argument, instead of
depending on a global value directly (which GDB's version did), I
decided to make the generic API to accept it. I then went on and
extended all calls being made on GDB to include a ptid argument (which
ended up being inferior_ptid most of the times, anyway), and now we
have a more sane interface.
On GDB's side, after talking to Pedro a bit about it, we decided that
just an assertion to make sure that the ptid being passed is equal to
inferior_ptid would be enough for now, on the GDB side. We can remove
the assertion and perform more operations later if we ever pass
anything different than inferior_ptid.
Regression tested on our BuildBot, everything OK.
I'd appreciate a special look at gdb/windows-nat.c's modification
because I wasn't really sure what to do there. It seemed to me that
maybe I should build a ptid out of the process information there, but
then I am almost sure the assertion on GDB's side would trigger.

The problem is that the std::min/std::max function templates use the
same type for both parameters. When the argument types are different,
the compiler can't automatically deduce which template specialization
to pick from the arguments' types.
Fix that by specifying the specialization we want explicitly.

This commit moves the target_wait prototype from the GDB-specific
target.h header to the common target/target.h header. Then, it
creates a compatible implementation of target_wait on gdbserver using
the_target->wait, and adjusts the (only) caller (mywait function).
Pretty straightforward, no regressions introduced.

This commit implements a new function, target_continue, on top of the
target_resume function. Then, it replaces all calls to target_resume
by calls to target_continue or to the already existing
target_continue_no_signal.
This is one of the (many) necessary steps needed to consolidate the
target interface between GDB and gdbserver. In particular, I am
interested in the impact this change will have on the unification of
the fork_inferior function (which I have been working on).
Tested on the BuildBot, no regressions introduced.

When executing commands on a secondary UI running the MI interpreter,
some commands that should be synchronous are not. MI incorrectly
continues processing input right after the synchronous command is
sent, before the target stops.
The problem happens when we emit MI async events (=library-loaded,
etc.), and we go about restoring the previous terminal state, we end
up calling target_terminal_ours, which incorrectly always installs the
current UI's input_fd in the event loop... That is, code like this:
old_chain = make_cleanup_restore_target_terminal ();
target_terminal_ours_for_output ();
fprintf_unfiltered (mi->event_channel, "library-loaded");
...
do_cleanups (old_chain);
The fix is to move the add_file_handler/delete_file_handler calls out
of target_terminal_$foo, making these completely no-ops unless called
with the main UI as current UI.

Some analysis we did here showed that increasing the cap on the
transfer size in target.c:memory_xfer_partial could give 20% or more
improvement in remote load across JTAG. Transfer sizes were capped
to 4K bytes because of performance problems encountered with the
restore command, documented here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00611.html
and in commit 67c059c29e ("Improve performance of large restore
commands").
The 4K cap was introduced because in a case where the restore command
requested a 100MB transfer, memory_xfer_partial would repeatedy
allocate and copy an entire 100MB buffer in order to properly handle
breakpoint shadow instructions, even though memory_xfer_partial would
actually only write a small portion of the buffer contents.
A couple of alternative solutions were suggested:
* change the algorithm for handling the breakpoint shadow instructions
* throttle the transfer size up or down based on the previous actual
transfer size
I tried implementing the throttling approach, and my implementation
reduced the performance in some cases.
This patch implements a new target function that returns that target's
limit on memory transfer size. It defaults to ULONGEST_MAX bytes,
because for native targets there is no marshaling and thus no limit is
needed. For remote targets it uses get_memory_write_packet_size.

Several targets have a copy of the same code that prints
"Detaching from program ..."
in their target_detach implementation. Factor that out to a common
function.
(For now, I left the couple targets that print this a bit differently
alone. Maybe this could be further pulled out into infcmd.c. If we
did that, and those targets want to continue printing differently,
this new function could be converted to a target method.)

PR gdb/17210 concerns a possible memory leak in read_memory_robust.
The bug can happen because read_memory_robust allocates memory, does
not install any cleanups, and invokes QUIT. Similarly, target_read
calls QUIT, so it too can potentially throw.
The fix is to install cleanups to guard the allocated memory.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23. I couldn't think of a way to
test this, so no new test; and of course this means it should have
more careful review.

When sync_execution (a boolean) is true, it means we're running a
foreground command -- we hide the prompt stop listening to input, give
the inferior the terminal, then go to the event loop waiting for the
target to stop.
With multiple independent UIs, we need to track whether each UI is
synchronously blocked waiting for the target. IOW, if you do
"continue" in one console, that console stops accepting commands, but
you should still be free to type other commands in the others
consoles.
Just simply making sync_execution be per-UI alone not sufficient,
because of this in fetch_inferior_event:
/* If the inferior was in sync execution mode, and now isn't,
restore the prompt (a synchronous execution command has finished,
and we're ready for input). */
if (current_ui->async && was_sync && !sync_execution)
observer_notify_sync_execution_done ();
We'd have to record at entry the "was_sync" state for each UI, not
just of the current UI.
This patch instead replaces the sync_execution flag by a per-UI
tristate flag indicating the command line prompt state:
enum prompt_state
{
/* The command line is blocked simulating synchronous execution.
This is used to implement the foreground execution commands
('run', 'continue', etc.). We won't display the prompt and
accept further commands until the execution is actually over. */
PROMPT_BLOCKED,
/* The command finished; display the prompt before returning back to
the top level. */
PROMPT_NEEDED,
/* We've displayed the prompt already, ready for input. */
PROMPTED,
;
I think the end result is _much_ clearer than the current code, and,
it addresses the original motivation too.

Since we always run the inferior in the main console (unless "set

calls target_terminal_inferior/target_terminal_inferior, then we only

And with that, we can switch the current UI to the UI whose input

If the user presses Ctrl-C immediately before target_terminal_inferior
is called and the target is resumed, instead of after, the Ctrl-C ends
up pending in the quit flag until the target next stops.
remote.c has this bit to handle this:
if (!target_is_async_p ())
{
ofunc = signal (SIGINT, sync_remote_interrupt);
/* If the user hit C-c before this packet, or between packets,
pretend that it was hit right here. */
if (check_quit_flag ())
sync_remote_interrupt (SIGINT);
}
But that's only reachable if async is off, while async is on by
default nowadays. It's also obviously not reacheable on native
targets.
This patch generalizes that to all targets.
We can't remove that remote.c bit yet, until we get rid of the sync
SIGINT handler though. That'll be done later in the series.

This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable

* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads

(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

when GDB goes to python extension, or other language extension, the
SIGINT handler is changed, and is restored when GDB leaves extension
language. GDB only stays in extension language for a very short period
in this case, but if ctrl-c is pressed at that moment, python extension
will handle the SIGINT, and exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt is shown.
Language extension is used in GDB side rather than inferior side,
so GDB should only change SIGINT handler for extension language when
the terminal is ours (not inferior's). This is what this patch does.
With this patch applied, I run random-signal.exp in a loop for 18
hours, and no fail is shown.
gdb:

* extension.c: Include target.h.
(set_active_ext_lang): Only call install_gdb_sigint_handler,
check_quit_flag, and set_quit_flag if target_terminal_is_ours
returns false.
(restore_active_ext_lang): Likewise.
* target.c (target_terminal_is_ours): New function.
* target.h (target_terminal_is_ours): Declare.
When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Remote Configuration): List "set/show remote
thread-events" command in configuration table.
(Stop Reply Packets): Document "T05 create" stop
reason and 'w' stop reply.
(General Query Packets): Document QThreadEvents packet. Document
QThreadEvents qSupported feature.

2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Assert that the LWP's
waitstatus is TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE. If GDB wants to hear about
thread create events, leave the new child's status pending.
(linux_low_filter_event): If GDB wants to hear about thread exit
events, leave the LWP marked dead and don't delete it.
(linux_wait_for_event_filtered): Don't check for thread exit.
(filter_exit_event): New function.
(linux_wait_1): Use it, when returning an exit event.
(linux_resume_one_lwp_throw): Assert that the LWP's
waitstatus is TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* NEWS (New commands): Mention "set/show remote thread-events"
commands.
