That is, step past breakpoints by: - pausing all threads - removing breakpoint at PC - single-step - reinsert breakpoint - restart threads similarly to all-stop (with displaced stepping disabled). This allows non-stop to work on targets/architectures without displaced stepping support. That is, it makes displaced stepping an optimization instead of a requirement. For example, in principle, all GNU/Linux ports support non-stop mode at the target_ops level, but not all corresponding gdbarch's implement displaced stepping. This should make non-stop work for all (albeit, not as efficiently). And then there are scenarios where even if the architecture supports displaced stepping, we can't use it, because we e.g., don't find a usable address to use as displaced step scratch pad. It should also fix stepping past watchpoints on targets that have non-continuable watchpoints in non-stop mode (e.g., PPC, untested). Running the instruction out of line in the displaced stepping scratch pad doesn't help that case, as the copied instruction reads/writes the same watched memory... We can fix that too by teaching GDB to only remove the watchpoint from the thread that we want to move past the watchpoint (currently, removing a watchpoint always removes it from all threads), but again, that can be considered an optimization; not all targets would support it. For those familiar with the gdb and gdbserver Linux target_ops backends, the implementation should look similar, except it is done on the core side. When we pause threads, we may find they stop with an interesting event that should be handled later when the thread is re-resumed, thus we store such events in the thread object, and mark the event as pending. We should only consume pending events if the thread is indeed resumed, thus we add a new "resumed" flag to the thread object. At a later stage, we might add new target methods to accelerate some of this, like "pause all threads", with corresponding RSP packets, but we'd still need a fallback method for remote targets that don't support such packets, so, again, that can be deferred as optimization. My _real_ motivation here is making it possible to reimplement all-stop mode on top of the target always working on non-stop mode, so that e.g., we can send RSP packets to a remote target even while the target is running -- can't do that in the all-stop RSP variant, by design). Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with and without "set displaced off" forced. The latter forces the new code paths whenever GDB needs to step past a breakpoint. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <pedro@codesourcery.com> * breakpoint.c (breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now): If any thread has a pending status, return true. * gdbthread.h: Include target/waitstatus.h. (struct thread_suspend_state) <stop_reason, waitstatus_pending_p, stop_pc>: New fields. (struct thread_info) <resumed>: New field. (set_resumed): Declare. * infrun.c: Include "event-loop.h". (infrun_async_inferior_event_token, infrun_is_async): New globals. (infrun_async): New function. (clear_step_over_info): Add debug output. (displaced_step_in_progress_any_inferior): New function. (displaced_step_fixup): New returns int. (start_step_over): Handle in-line step-overs too. Assert the thread is marked resumed. (resume_cleanups): Clear the thread's resumed flag. (resume): Set the thread's resumed flag. Return early if the thread has a pending status. Allow stepping a breakpoint with no signal. (proceed): Adjust to check 'resumed' instead of 'executing'. (clear_proceed_status_thread): If the thread has a pending status, and that status is a finished step, discard the pending status. (clear_proceed_status): Don't clear step_over_info here. (random_pending_event_thread, do_target_wait): New functions. (prepare_for_detach, wait_for_inferior, fetch_inferior_event): Use do_target_wait. (wait_one): New function. (THREAD_STOPPED_BY): New macro. (thread_stopped_by_watchpoint, thread_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint) (thread_stopped_by_hw_breakpoint): New functions. (switch_to_thread_cleanup, save_waitstatus, stop_all_threads): New functions. (handle_inferior_event): Also call set_resumed(false) on all threads implicitly stopped by the event. (restart_threads, resumed_thread_with_pending_status): New functions. (finish_step_over): If we were doing an in-line step-over before, and no longer are after trying to start a new step-over, restart all threads. If we have multiple threads with pending events, save the current event and go through the event loop again. (handle_signal_stop): Return early if finish_step_over returns false. <random signal>: If we get a signal while stepping over a breakpoint in-line in non-stop mode, restart all threads. Clear step_over_info before delivering the signal. (keep_going_stepped_thread): Use internal_error instead of gdb_assert. Mark the thread as resumed. (keep_going_pass_signal): Assert the thread isn't already resumed. If some other thread is doing an in-line step-over, defer the resume. If we just started a new in-line step-over, stop all threads. Don't clear step_over_info. (infrun_async_inferior_event_handler): New function. (_initialize_infrun): Create async event handler with infrun_async_inferior_event_handler as callback. (infrun_async): New declaration. * target.c (target_async): New function. * target.h (target_async): Declare macro and readd as function declaration. * target/waitstatus.h (enum target_stop_reason) <TARGET_STOPPED_BY_SINGLE_STEP>: New value. * thread.c (new_thread): Clear the new waitstatus field. (set_resumed): New function. |

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
