Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

Update elf_gnu_ifunc_resolve_by_cache() and elf_gnu_ifunc_resolve_by_got()
to use gdbarch_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order() in order to
restrict the objfile traversal to the initial namespace.
In order to extend this to other namespaces, we'd need to provide context,
e.g. via an objfile inside that namespace.
There's a flaw in the interaction of the auxv caching and the fact that
target_auxv_search allows reading auxv from an arbitrary target_ops
(passed in as a parameter). This has consequences as explained in this
thread:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20220719144542.1478037-1-luis.machado@arm.com/
In summary, when loading an AArch64 core file with MTE support by
passing the executable and core file names directly to GDB, we see the
MTE info:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q aarch64-mte-gcore aarch64-mte-gcore.core
...
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Memory tag violation while accessing address 0x0000ffff8ef5e000
Allocation tag 0x1
Logical tag 0x0.
#0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? ()
(gdb)
But if we do it as two separate commands (file and core) we don't:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q -ex "file aarch64-mte-gcore" -ex "core aarch64-mte-gcore.core"
...
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? ()
(gdb)
The problem with the latter is that auxv data gets improperly cached
between the two commands. When executing the file command, auxv gets
first queried here, when loading the executable:

Here, target_auxv_search is called on the inferior's target stack. The
target stack only contains the exec target, so the query returns empty
auxv data. This gets cached for that inferior in `auxv_inferior_data`.
In its constructor (before it is pushed to the inferior's target stack),
the core_target needs to identify the right target description from the
core, and for that asks the gdbarch to read a target description from
the core file. Because some implementations of
gdbarch_core_read_description (such as AArch64's) need to read auxv data
from the core in order to determine the right target description, the
core_target passes a pointer to itself, allowing implementations to call
target_auxv_search it. However, because we have previously cached
(empty) auxv data for that inferior, target_auxv_search searched that
cached (empty) auxv data, not auxv data read from the core. Remember
that this data was obtained by reading auxv on the inferior's target
stack, which only contained an exec target.
The problem I see is that while target_auxv_search offers the
flexibility of reading from an arbitrary (passed as an argument) target,
the caching doesn't do the distinction of which target is being queried,
and where the cached data came from. So, you could read auxv from a
target A, it gets cached, then you try to read auxv from a target B, and
it returns the cached data from target A. That sounds wrong. In our
case, we expect to read different auxv data from the core target than
what we have read from the target stack earlier, so it doesn't make
sense to hit the cache in this case.
To fix this, I propose splitting the code paths that read auxv data from
an inferior's target stack and those that read from a passed-in target.
The code path that reads from the target stack will keep caching,
whereas the one that reads from a passed-in target won't. And since,
searching in auxv data is independent from where this data came from,
split the "read" part from the "search" part.
From what I understand, auxv caching was introduced mostly to reduce
latency on remote connections, when doing many queries. With the change
I propose, only the queries done while constructing the core_target
end up not using cached auxv data. This is fine, because there are just
a handful of queries max, done at this point, and reading core files is
local.
The changes to auxv functions are:
- Introduce 2 target_read_auxv functions. One reads from an explicit
target_ops and doesn't do caching (to be used in
gdbarch_core_read_description context). The other takes no argument,
reads from the current inferior's target stack (it looks just like a
standard target function wrapper) and does caching.
The first target_read_auxv actually replaces get_auxv_inferior_data,
since it became a trivial wrapper around it.
- Change the existing target_auxv_search to not read auxv data from the
target, but to accept it as a parameter (a gdb::byte_vector). This
function doesn't care where the data came from, it just searches in
it. It still needs to take a target_ops and gdbarch to know how to
parse auxv entries.
- Add a convenience target_auxv_search overload that reads auxv
data from the inferior's target stack and searches in it. This
overload is useful to replace the exist target_auxv_search calls that
passed the `current_inferior ()->top_target ()` target and keep the
call sites short.
- Modify parse_auxv to accept a target_ops and gdbarch to use for
parsing entries. Not strictly related to the rest of this change,
but it seems like a good change in the context.
Changes in architecture-specific files (tdep and nat):
- In linux-tdep, linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 get split in two,
similar to target_auxv_search. One version receives auxv data,
target and arch as parameters. The other gets everything from the
current inferior. The latter is for convenience, to avoid making
call sites too ugly.
- Call sites of linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 are adjusted to
use either of the new versions. The call sites in
gdbarch_core_read_description context explicitly read auxv data from
the passed-in target and call the linux_get_hwcap{,2} function with
parameters. Other call sites use the versions without parameters.
- Same idea for arm_fbsd_read_description_auxv.
- Call sites of target_auxv_search that passed
`current_inferior ()->top_target ()` are changed to use the
target_auxv_search overload that works in the current inferior.

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.

undone, some constructors and some gets were added, according to what

The call to debuginfod_debuginfo_query in elf_symfile_read is given
objfile->original_name as the filename to print when downloading the
objfile's debuginfo.
In some cases original_name is prefixed with gdb's working directory
even though the objfile is not located in the working directory. This
causes debuginfod to display the wrong path of the objfile during a download.
Fix this by using the objfile's bfd filename instead.
This changes struct objfile to use a gdb_bfd_ref_ptr. In addition to
removing some manual memory management, this fixes a use-after-free
that was introduced by the registry rewrite series. The issue there
was that, in some cases, registry shutdown could refer to memory that
had already been freed. This help fix the bug by delaying the
destruction of the BFD reference (and thus the per-bfd object) until
after the registry has been shut down.
Introduce symtab_create_debug_printf and symtab_create_debug_printf_v,
to print the debug messages enabled by "set debug symtab-create".

This rewrites registry.h, removing all the macros and replacing it
with relatively ordinary template classes. The result is less code
than the previous setup. It replaces large macros with a relatively
straightforward C++ class, and now manages its own cleanup.
The existing type-safe "key" class is replaced with the equivalent
template class. This approach ended up requiring relatively few
changes to the users of the registry code in gdb -- code using the key
system just required a small change to the key's declaration.
All existing users of the old C-like API are now converted to use the
type-safe API. This mostly involved changing explicit deletion
functions to be an operator() in a deleter class.
The old "save/free" two-phase process is removed, and replaced with a
single "free" phase. No existing code used both phases.
The old "free" callbacks took a parameter for the enclosing container
object. However, this wasn't truly needed and is removed here as
well.
This converts location_spec_to_string to a method of location_spec,
simplifying the code using it, as it no longer has to use
std::unique_ptr::get().

Currently, GDB internally uses the term "location" for both the
location specification the user input (linespec, explicit location, or
an address location), and for actual resolved locations, like the
breakpoint locations, or the result of decoding a location spec to
SaLs. This is expecially confusing in the breakpoints module, as
struct breakpoint has these two fields:
breakpoint::location;
breakpoint::loc;
"location" is the location spec, and "loc" is the resolved locations.
And then, we have a method called "locations()", which returns the
resolved locations as range...
The location spec type is presently called event_location:
/* Location we used to set the breakpoint. */
event_location_up location;
and it is described like this:
/* The base class for all an event locations used to set a stop event
in the inferior. */
struct event_location
{
and even that is incorrect... Location specs are used for finding
actual locations in the program in scenarios that have nothing to do
with stop events. E.g., "list" works with location specs.
To clean all this confusion up, this patch renames "event_location" to
"location_spec" throughout, and then all the variables that hold a
location spec, they are renamed to include "spec" in their name, like
e.g., "location" -> "locspec". Similarly, functions that work with
location specs, and currently have just "location" in their name are
renamed to include "spec" in their name too.

Even after the previous patches reworking the inheritance of several
breakpoint types, the present breakpoint hierarchy looks a bit
surprising, as we have "breakpoint" as the superclass, and then
"base_breakpoint" inherits from "breakpoint". Like so, simplified:
breakpoint
base_breakpoint
ordinary_breakpoint
internal_breakpoint
momentary_breakpoint
ada_catchpoint
exception_catchpoint
tracepoint
watchpoint
catchpoint
exec_catchpoint
...
The surprising part to me is having "base_breakpoint" being a subclass
of "breakpoint". I'm just refering to naming here -- I mean, you'd
expect that it would be the top level baseclass that would be called
"base".
Just flipping the names of breakpoint and base_breakpoint around
wouldn't be super great for us, IMO, given we think of every type of
*point as a breakpoint at the user visible level. E.g., "info
breakpoints" shows watchpoints, tracepoints, etc. So it makes to call
the top level class breakpoint.
Instead, I propose renaming base_breakpoint to code_breakpoint. The
previous patches made sure that all code breakpoints inherit from
base_breakpoint, so it's fitting. Also, "code breakpoint" contrasts
nicely with a watchpoint also being typically known as a "data
breakpoint".
After this commit, the resulting hierarchy looks like:
breakpoint
code_breakpoint
ordinary_breakpoint
internal_breakpoint
momentary_breakpoint
ada_catchpoint
exception_catchpoint
tracepoint
watchpoint
catchpoint
exec_catchpoint
...
... which makes a lot more sense to me.
I've left this patch as last in the series in case people want to
bikeshed on the naming.
"code" has a nice property that it's exactly as many letters as
"base", so this patch didn't require any reindentation. :-)

After the previous patches, only base_breakpoint subclasses use
add_location(sal), so we can move it to base_breakpoint (a.k.a. base
class for code breakpoints).
This requires a few casts here and there, but always at spots where
you can see from context what the breakpoint's type actually is.
I inlined new_single_step_breakpoint into its only caller exactly for
this reason.
I did try to propagate more use of base_breakpoint to avoid casts, but
that turned out unwieldy for this patch.

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.
A change to BFD caused a gdb regression when using the Ada "catch
exception" feature. The bug is visible when a shared library throws
an exception that is caught in the main executable.
This was discussed here:

This patch implements Alan's proposed fix, namely to use VERSYM_HIDDEN
rather than the name when deciding to install a version-less symbol.
The internal test case is identical to the catch_ex_std.exp that is
in-tree, so I haven't added a new test. I could not make that one
fail on x86-64 Linux, though. It's possible that maybe I'd have to
update the system linker first, but I didn't want to try that.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 32.
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 bug fixed by this [1] patch was caused by an out-of-bounds access to
a value's content. The code gets the value's content (just a pointer)
and then indexes it with a non-sensical index.
This made me think of changing functions that return value contents to
return array_views instead of a plain pointer. This has the advantage
that when GDB is built with _GLIBCXX_DEBUG, accesses to the array_view
are checked, making bugs more apparent / easier to find.
This patch changes the return types of these functions, and updates
callers to call .data() on the result, meaning it's not changing
anything in practice. Additional work will be needed (which can be done
little by little) to make callers propagate the use of array_view and
reap the benefits.

Now that the quick functions are separate from the object file format,
there's no need to have elfread.c push a new entry on the objfile 'qf'
list. Instead, this detail can be pushed into the DWARF reader. That
is what this patch implements.
I wasn't sure whether lazy reading still makes sense or not. It's
still only used by ELF, and only in certain situations (like vfork, I
think). It may not be carrying its weight, so we may want to consider
removing this in the future.
Also, I'm unclear on why the various indices are only used for ELF.
This seems sub-optimal. However, I haven't tried to address that
here.

Currently the "partial" symbol reader is attached to the objfile's
symbol functions. However, in order to allow multiple separate
partial symbol readers, this association must be changed. This patch
moves the "qf" member out of sym_fns as a step toward that goal.

This has feature has also been reported by various users, most notably
the Fedora-EOL'd bug 1553086.
Mark Wielaard explains the issue quite nicely in
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24717#c2
The short of it is, the ELF program headers for debuginfo files are
not suited to this particular use case. Consequently, the warning
generated above really is useless and should be ignored.
This patch follows the same heuristic that BFD itself uses.

This introduces a string cache on the per-BFD object, replacing the
macro and filename caches. Both of these caches just store strings,
so this consolidation by itself saves a little memory (about the size
of a bcache per objfile).
Then this patch switches some allocations on the objfile obstack to
use this bcache instead. This saves more space; and turns out to be a
bit faster as well.
Here are the before and after "maint time" + "maint space" results of
"file ./gdb":
Command execution time: 4.664021 (cpu), 4.728518 (wall)
Space used: 39190528 (+29212672 for this command)
Command execution time: 4.216209 (cpu), 4.107023 (wall)
Space used: 36667392 (+26689536 for this command)
The main interface to the string cache is a new pair of overloaded
methods, objfile::intern.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging
resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
This patch enables GDB to query debuginfod servers for separate debug
files and source code when it is otherwise not able to find them.
GDB can be built with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure
option.
This requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.
For more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 31.

I ended up debugging a malformed ELF where a section containing
executable code was not correctly marked as allocatable. Before
realising the ELF was corrupted I tried to place a breakpoint on a
symbol in the non-allocatable, executable section, and GDB crashed.
Though trying to debug such an ELF clearly isn't going to go well I
would prefer, as far as possible, that any input, no matter how
corrupted, not crash GDB.
The crash occurs when trying to set a breakpoint on the name of a
function from the corrupted section. GDB converts the symbol to a
symtab_and_line, and looks up a suitable section for this.
The problem is that the section is actually an obj_section, which is
stored in the table within the objfile, and we only initialise this
table for allocatable sections (see add_to_objfile_sections_full in
objfiles.c). So, if the symbol is in a non-allocatable section then
we end up referencing an uninitialised obj_section.
Later we call get_sal_arch on the symtab_and_line, which calls
get_objfile_arch, which uses the objfile from the uninitialised
obj_section, which will be nullptr, at which point GDB crashes.
The fix I propose here is that when we setup the section references on
msymbols, we should check if the bfd_section being referenced is
allocatable or not. If it is not then we should set the section
reference back to the default 0 section (see how MSYMBOL_OBJ_SECTION
and SYMBOL_OBJ_SECTION treat the 0 section index).
With this fix in place GDB no longer crashes. Instead GDB creates the
breakpoint at the non-allocated address, and then fails, with an
error, when it tries to insert the breakpoint.
