GDB is able to cache memory accesses requested in target_read_code,
so target_read_code is more efficient than general target_read_memory.
This patch uses target_read_code and its variants to read target
memory in the functions related to i386_skip_prologue. It improves
the performance when doing 'b foo' (foo is a function) in remote
debugging.
Nowadays, when we set a breakpoint on function f1, GDB will fetch the
code in f1 to determine the start of the function body (say skip the
prologue), it requests read from target many times. With this patch
applied, the number of RSP 'm' packets are reduced.

This patch is purely mechanical. It removes gdb_stat.h and changes
the code to use sys/stat.h.

target_read_memory & friends build on top of target_read (thus on top
of the target_xfer machinery), but turn all errors to EIO, an errno
value. I think we'd better convert all these to return a
target_xfer_error too, like target_xfer_partial in a previous patch.
The patch starts by doing that.
(The patch does not add a enum target_xfer_error value for '0'/no
error, and likewise does not change the return type of several of
these functions to enum target_xfer_error, because different functions
return '0' with different semantics.)
I audited the tree for memory_error calls, EIO checks, places where
GDB hardcodes 'errno = EIO', and also for strerror calls. What I
found is that nowadays there's really no need to handle random errno
values, other than the EIOs gdb itself hardcodes. No doubt errno
values would appear in common code back in the day when
target_xfer_memory was the main interface to access memory, but
nowadays, any errno value that deprecated interface could return is
just absorved by default_xfer_partial:
else if (xfered == 0 && errno == 0)
/* "deprecated_xfer_memory" uses 0, cross checked against
ERRNO as one indication of an error. */
return 0;
else
return -1;
There are two places in the code that check for EIO and print "out of
bounds", and defer to strerror for other errors. That's
c-lang.c:c_get_string, and valprint.c.:val_print_string. AFAICT, the
strerror branch can never be reached nowadays, as the only error
possible to get at those points is EIO, given that it's GDB itself
that set that errno value (in target_read_memory, etc.).
breakpoint.c:insert_bp_location always prints the error val as if an
errno, returned by target_insert_breakpoint, with strerr. Now the
error here is either always EIO for mem-break.c targets (again
hardcoded by the target_read_memory/target_write_memory functions), so
this always prints "Input/output error" or similar (depending on
host), or, for remote targets (and probably others), this gem:
Error accessing memory address 0x80200400: Unknown error -1.
This patch makes these 3 places print the exact same error
memory_error prints. This changes output, but I think this is better,
for making memory error output consistent with other commands, and, it
means we have a central place to tweak for memory errors.
E.g., this changes:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Error accessing memory address 0x5fc660: Input/output error.
to:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x5fc660
Which I find pretty much acceptable.
Surprisingly, only py-prettyprint.exp had a regression, for needing an
adjustment. I also grepped the testsuite for the old errors, and
found no other hits.
Now that errno values aren't used anywhere in any of these memory
access related routines, I made memory_error itself take a
target_xfer_error instead of an errno. The new
target_xfer_memory_error function added recently is no longer
necessary, and is thus removed.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver.

dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full (frame #7) knows to handle
NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR errors, but read_memory always throws
a generic error.
Presently, only the value machinery knows to handle unavailable
memory. We need to push the awareness down to the target_xfer layer,
making it return a finer grained error indication. We can only return
a generic -1 nowadays, which leaves the upper layers with no clue on
why the xfer failed. Use target_xfer_partial directly, rather than
propagating the error through target_read_memory so as to get a better
address to display in the error message.
(target_read_memory & friends build on top of target_read (thus the
target_xfer machinery), but turn all errors to EIO, an errno value. I
think this is a mistake, and we'd better convert all these to return a
target_xfer_error too, but that can be done separately. I looked
around a bit over memory_error calls, and the need to handle random
errno values, other than the EIOs gdb itself hardcodes, probably comes
(only) from deprecated_xfer_memory, which uses errno for error
indication, but I didn't look exhaustively. We should really get rid
of deprecated_xfer_memory and of passing down errno values as error
indication in target_read & friends methods).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver. Fixes the test in
the PR, which will be added to the testsuite later.

This is sort of a continuation of Keith's parse_exp_1 constification
patch. It started out by undoing these bits:
@@ -754,9 +754,12 @@ validate_actionline (char **line, struct
tmp_p = p;
for (loc = t->base.loc; loc; loc = loc->next)
{
- p = tmp_p;
- exp = parse_exp_1 (&p, loc->address,
+ const char *q;
+
+ q = tmp_p;
+ exp = parse_exp_1 (&q, loc->address,
block_for_pc (loc->address), 1);
+ p = (char *) q;
and progressively making more things const upwards, fixing fallout,
rinse repeat, until GDB built again (--enable-targets=all).
That ended up constifying lookup_cmd/add_cmd and (lots of) friends,
and the completers.
I didn't try to constify the command hooks themselves, because I know
upfront there are commands that write to the command string argument,
and I think I managed to stop at a nice non-hacky split point already.
I think the only non-really-super-obvious changes are
tracepoint.c:validate_actionline, and tracepoint.c:trace_dump_actions.
The rest is just mostly about 'char *' => 'const char *', 'char **'=>
'const char **', and the occasional (e.g., deprecated_cmd_warning)
case of 'char **'=> 'const char *', where/when I noticed that nothing
actually cares about the pointer to pointer output.
