Add the `is_declared_class` and `set_is_declared_class` methods on
`struct type`, in order to remove the `TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS` macro. In
this patch, the macro is changed to use the getter, so all the call
sites of the macro that are used as a setter are changed to use the
setter method directly. The next patch will remove the macro
completely.

Python 3.4 has deprecated the imp module in favour of importlib. This
patch avoids the DeprecationWarning. This warning is visible to users
whose libpython.so has been compiled with --with-pydebug.
Considering that even python 3.5 has reached end of life, would it be
better to just use importlib and drop support for python 3.0 to 3.3?

I had written a DWARF location expression like
DW_OP_const1u
DW_OP_stack_value
... and was surprised to see that the DW_OP_stack_value didn't appear
in the "readelf" output.
The problem here is that DW_OP_const1u requires an operand, but
neither the DWARF assembler nor gas diagnosed this problem.
This patch adds some checking to Dwarf::_location to try to avoid this
in the future. The checking is done via a helper proc that also
dissects the argument list and sets an array in the caller's frame.

New in v2:
- Disable sharing only for -readnow objfiles, not all objfiles.
As described in PR 27541, we hit an internal error when loading a binary
the standard way and then loading it with the -readnow option:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory ~/a.out -ex "set confirm off" -ex "file -readnow ~/a.out"
Reading symbols from /home/simark/a.out...

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/read.c:8098: internal-error: void create_all_comp_units(dwarf2_per_objfile*): Assertion `per_objfile->per_bfd->all_comp_units.empty ()' failed.
This is a recurring problem that exposes a design issue in the DWARF
per-BFD sharing feature. Things work well when loading a binary with
the same method (with/without index, with/without readnow) twice in a
row. But they don't work so well when loading a binary with different
methods. See this previous fix, for example:
efb763a5ea35 ("gdb: check for partial symtab presence in dwarf2_initialize_objfile")
That one handled the case where the first load is normal (uses partial
symbols) and the second load uses an index.
The problem is that when loading an objfile with a method A, we create a
dwarf2_per_bfd and some dwarf2_per_cu_data and initialize them with the
data belonging to that method. When loading another obfile sharing the
same BFD but with a different method B, it's not clear how to re-use the
dwarf2_per_bfd/dwarf2_per_cu_data previously created, because they
contain the data specific to method A.
I think the most sensible fix would be to not share a dwarf2_per_bfd
between two objfiles loaded with different methods. That means that two
objfiles sharing the same BFD and loaded the same way would share a
dwarf2_per_bfd. Two objfiles sharing the same BFD but loaded with
different methods would use two different dwarf2_per_bfd structures.
However, this isn't a trivial change. So to fix the known issue quickly
(including in the gdb 10 branch), this patch just disables all
dwarf2_per_bfd sharing for objfiles using READNOW.
Generalize the gdb.base/index-cache-load-twice.exp test to test all
the possible combinations of loading a file with partial symtabs, index
and readnow. Move it to gdb.dwarf2, since it really exercises features
of the DWARF reader.

This test causes several timeouts for Clang, taking too long time to
finish. The reason is, for an infinite loop of the form
while(1); /* suppose this is line 30. */
Clang generates code that looks like
0x00000000004004d4 <+4>: jmp 0x4004d9 <loop+9>
0x00000000004004d9 <+9>: jmp 0x4004d9 <loop+9>
So, the real loop is the instruction at address 0x4004d9. But a
breakpoint that's defined at the loop line (assume line 30 in this
case) is inserted at address 0x4004d4.
(gdb) break 30
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004d4: file test.c, line 30.
Therefore, continuing a thread that was spinning on the loop does not hit
the breakpoint. The bug is reported at

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'

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

This commit adds a couple of tests to the python pretty printer
testing.
I've added a test for the 'array' display hint. This display hint is
tested by gdb.python/py-mi.exp, however, the MI testing is done via
the varobj interface, and this code makes its own direct calls to the
Python pretty printers from gdb/varobj.c. What this means is that the
interface to the pretty printers in gdb/python/py-prettyprint.c is not
tested for the 'array' display hint path.
I also added a test for what happens when the display_hint method
raises an exception. There wasn't a bug that inspired this test, just
while adding the previous test I thought, I wonder what happens if...
The current behaviour of GDB seems reasonable, GDB displays the Python
exception, and then continues printing the value as if display_hint
had returned None. I added a test to lock in this behaviour.

Rationale
---------
Let's say you have multiple threads hitting a conditional breakpoint
at the same time, and all of these are going to evaluate to false.
All these threads will need to be resumed.
Currently, GDB fetches one target event (one SIGTRAP representing the
breakpoint hit) and decides that the thread should be resumed. It
calls resume and commit_resume immediately. It then fetches the
second target event, and does the same, until it went through all
threads.
The result is therefore something like:
- consume event for thread A
- resume thread A
- commit resume (affects thread A)
- consume event for thread B
- resume thread B
- commit resume (affects thread B)
- consume event for thread C
- resume thread C
- commit resume (affects thread C)
For targets where it's beneficial to group resumptions requests (most
likely those that implement target_ops::commit_resume), it would be
much better to have:
- consume event for thread A
- resume thread A
- consume event for thread B
- resume thread B
- consume event for thread C
- resume thread C
- commit resume (affects threads A, B and C)
Implementation details
----------------------
To achieve this, this patch adds another check in
maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_targets to avoid setting the
commit-resumed flag of targets that readily have events to provide to
infrun.
To determine if a target has events readily available to report, this
patch adds an `has_pending_events` target_ops method. The method
returns a simple bool to say whether or not it has pending events to
report.
Testing
=======
To test this, I start GDBserver with a program that spawns multiple
threads:
$ ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :1234 ~/src/many-threads-stepping-over-breakpoints/many-threads-stepping-over-breakpoints
I then connect with GDB and install a conditional breakpoint that always
evaluates to false (and force the evaluation to be done by GDB):
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory \
/home/simark/src/many-threads-stepping-over-breakpoints/many-threads-stepping-over-breakpoints \
-ex "set breakpoint condition-evaluation host" \
-ex "set pag off" \
-ex "set confirm off" \
-ex "maint set target-non-stop on" \
-ex "tar rem :1234" \
-ex "tb main" \
-ex "b 13 if 0" \
-ex c \
-ex "set debug infrun" \
-ex "set debug remote 1" \
-ex "set debug displaced"
I then do "continue" and look at the log.
The remote target receives a bunch of stop notifications for all
threads that have hit the breakpoint. infrun consumes and processes
one event, decides it should not cause a stop, prepares a displaced
step, after which we should see:
[infrun] maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_process_targets: not requesting commit-resumed for target remote, target has pending events
Same for a second thread (since we have 2 displaced step buffers).
For the following threads, their displaced step is deferred since
there are no more buffers available.
After consuming the last event the remote target has to offer, we get:
[infrun] maybe_set_commit_resumed_all_process_targets: enabling commit-resumed for target remote
[infrun] maybe_call_commit_resumed_all_process_targets: calling commit_resumed for target remote
[remote] Sending packet: $vCont;s:p14d16b.14d1b1;s:p14d16b.14d1b2#55
[remote] Packet received: OK
Without the patch, there would have been one vCont;s just after each
prepared displaced step.

The rationale for this patch comes from the ROCm port [1], the goal
being to reduce the number of back and forths between GDB and the
target when doing successive operations. I'll start with explaining
the rationale and then go over the implementation. In the ROCm / GPU
world, the term "wave" is somewhat equivalent to a "thread" in GDB.
So if you read if from a GPU stand point, just s/thread/wave/.
ROCdbgapi, the library used by GDB [2] to communicate with the GPU
target, gives the illusion that it's possible for the debugger to
control (start and stop) individual threads. But in reality, this is
not how it works. Under the hood, all threads of a queue are
controlled as a group. To stop one thread in a group of running ones,
the state of all threads is retrieved from the GPU, all threads are
destroyed, and all threads but the one we want to stop are re-created
from the saved state. The net result, from the point of view of GDB,
is that the library stopped one thread. The same thing goes if we
want to resume one thread while others are running: the state of all
running threads is retrieved from the GPU, they are all destroyed, and
they are all re-created, including the thread we want to resume.
This leads to some inefficiencies when combined with how GDB works,
here are two examples:
- Stopping all threads: because the target operates in non-stop mode,
when the user interface mode is all-stop, GDB must stop all threads
individually when presenting a stop. Let's suppose we have 1000
threads and the user does ^C. GDB asks the target to stop one
thread. Behind the scenes, the library retrieves 1000 thread
states and restores the 999 others still running ones. GDB asks
the target to stop another one. The target retrieves 999 thread
states and restores the 998 remaining ones. That means that to
stop 1000 threads, we did 1000 back and forths with the GPU. It
would have been much better to just retrieve the states once and
stop there.
- Resuming with pending events: suppose the 1000 threads hit a
breakpoint at the same time. The breakpoint is conditional and
evaluates to true for the first thread, to false for all others.
GDB pulls one event (for the first thread) from the target, decides
that it should present a stop, so stops all threads using
stop_all_threads. All these other threads have a breakpoint event
to report, which is saved in `thread_info::suspend::waitstatus` for
later. When the user does "continue", GDB resumes that one thread
that did hit the breakpoint. It then processes the pending events
one by one as if they just arrived. It picks one, evaluates the
condition to false, and resumes the thread. It picks another one,
evaluates the condition to false, and resumes the thread. And so
on. In between each resumption, there is a full state retrieval
and re-creation. It would be much nicer if we could wait a little
bit before sending those threads on the GPU, until it processed all
those pending events.
To address this kind of performance issue, ROCdbgapi has a concept
called "forward progress required", which is a boolean state that
allows its user (i.e. GDB) to say "I'm doing a bunch of operations,
you can hold off putting the threads on the GPU until I'm done" (the
"forward progress not required" state). Turning forward progress back
on indicates to the library that all threads that are supposed to be
running should now be really running on the GPU.
It turns out that GDB has a similar concept, though not as general,
commit_resume. One difference is that commit_resume is not stateful:
the target can't look up "does the core need me to schedule resumed
threads for execution right now". It is also specifically linked to
the resume method, it is not used in other contexts. The target
accumulates resumption requests through target_ops::resume calls, and
then commits those resumptions when target_ops::commit_resume is
called. The target has no way to check if it's ok to leave resumed
threads stopped in other target methods.
To bridge the gap, this patch generalizes the commit_resume concept in
GDB to match the forward progress concept of ROCdbgapi. The current
name (commit_resume) can be interpreted as "commit the previous resume
calls". I renamed the concept to "commit_resumed", as in "commit the
threads that are resumed".
In the new version, we have two things:
- the commit_resumed_state field in process_stratum_target: indicates
whether GDB requires target stacks using this target to have
resumed threads committed to the execution target/device. If
false, an execution target is allowed to leave resumed threads
un-committed at the end of whatever method it is executing.
- the commit_resumed target method: called when commit_resumed_state
transitions from false to true. While commit_resumed_state was
false, the target may have left some resumed threads un-committed.
This method being called tells it that it should commit them back
to the execution device.
Let's take the "Stopping all threads" scenario from above and see how
it would work with the ROCm target with this change. Before stopping
all threads, GDB would set the target's commit_resumed_state field to
false. It would then ask the target to stop the first thread. The
target would retrieve all threads' state from the GPU and mark that
one as stopped. Since commit_resumed_state is false, it leaves all
the other threads (still resumed) stopped. GDB would then proceed to
call target_stop for all the other threads. Since resumed threads are
not committed, this doesn't do any back and forth with the GPU.
To simplify the implementation of targets, this patch makes it so that
when calling certain target methods, the contract between the core and
the targets guarantees that commit_resumed_state is false. This way,
the target doesn't need two paths, one for commit_resumed_state ==
true and one for commit_resumed_state == false. It can just assert
that commit_resumed_state is false and work with that assumption.
This also helps catch places where we forgot to disable
commit_resumed_state before calling the method, which represents a
probable optimization opportunity. The commit adds assertions in the
target method wrappers (target_resume and friends) to have some
confidence that this contract between the core and the targets is
respected.
The scoped_disable_commit_resumed type is used to disable the commit
resumed state of all process targets on construction, and selectively
re-enable it on destruction (see below for criteria). Note that it
only sets the process_stratum_target::commit_resumed_state flag. A
subsequent call to maybe_call_commit_resumed_all_targets is necessary
to call the commit_resumed method on all target stacks with process
targets that got their commit_resumed_state flag turned back on. This
separation is because we don't want to call the commit_resumed methods
in scoped_disable_commit_resumed's destructor, as they may throw.
On destruction, commit-resumed is not re-enabled for a given target
if:
1. this target has no threads resumed, or
2. this target has at least one resumed thread with a pending status
known to the core (saved in thread_info::suspend::waitstatus).
The first point is not technically necessary, because a proper
commit_resumed implementation would be a no-op if the target has no
resumed threads. But since we have a flag do to a quick check, it
shouldn't hurt.
The second point is more important: together with the
scoped_disable_commit_resumed instance added in fetch_inferior_event,
it makes it so the "Resuming with pending events" described above is
handled efficiently. Here's what happens in that case:
1. The user types "continue".
2. Upon destruction, the scoped_disable_commit_resumed in the
`proceed` function does not enable commit-resumed, as it sees some
threads have pending statuses.
3. fetch_inferior_event is called to handle another event, the
breakpoint hit evaluates to false, and that thread is resumed.
Because there are still more threads with pending statuses, the
destructor of scoped_disable_commit_resumed in
fetch_inferior_event still doesn't enable commit-resumed.
4. Rinse and repeat step 3, until the last pending status is handled
by fetch_inferior_event. In that case,
scoped_disable_commit_resumed's destructor sees there are no more
threads with pending statues, so it asks the target to commit
resumed threads.
This allows us to avoid all unnecessary back and forths, there is a
single commit_resumed call once all pending statuses are processed.
This change required remote_target::remote_stop_ns to learn how to
handle stopping threads that were resumed but pending vCont. The
simplest example where that happens is when using the remote target in
all-stop, but with "maint set target-non-stop on", to force it to
operate in non-stop mode under the hood. If two threads hit a
breakpoint at the same time, GDB will receive two stop replies. It
will present the stop for one thread and save the other one in
thread_info::suspend::waitstatus.
Before this patch, when doing "continue", GDB first resumes the thread
without a pending status:
Sending packet: $vCont;c:p172651.172676#f3
It then consumes the pending status in the next fetch_inferior_event
call:
[infrun] do_target_wait_1: Using pending wait status status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP for Thread 1517137.1517137.
[infrun] target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
[infrun] 1517137.1517137.0 [Thread 1517137.1517137],
[infrun] status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
It then realizes it needs to stop all threads to present the stop, so
stops the thread it just resumed:
[infrun] stop_all_threads: Thread 1517137.1517137 not executing
[infrun] stop_all_threads: Thread 1517137.1517174 executing, need stop
remote_stop called
Sending packet: $vCont;t:p172651.172676#04
This is an unnecessary resume/stop. With this patch, we don't commit
resumed threads after proceeding, because of the pending status:
[infrun] maybe_commit_resumed_all_process_targets: not requesting commit-resumed for target extended-remote, a thread has a pending waitstatus
When GDB handles the pending status and stop_all_threads runs, we stop a
resumed but pending vCont thread:
remote_stop_ns: Enqueueing phony stop reply for thread pending vCont-resume (1520940, 1520976, 0)
That thread was never actually resumed on the remote stub / gdbserver,
so we shouldn't send a packet to the remote side asking to stop the
thread.
Note that there are paths that resume the target and then do a
synchronous blocking wait, in sort of nested event loop, via
wait_sync_command_done. For example, inferior function calls, or any
run control command issued from a breakpoint command list. We handle
that making wait_sync_command_one a "sync" point -- force forward
progress, or IOW, force-enable commit-resumed state.

Above, GDB just stopped listening to stdin.
Basically, GDB assumes that a target working in non-stop mode
operation also supports async mode; it's a requirement. GDB
misbehaves badly otherwise, and even hits failed assertions.
Fix this by making target_is_non_stop_p return false if async is off.

This commit resolves the remaining duplicate test names in
gdb.cp/*.exp. These are all the easy duplicates, I'm either giving
tests a new, unique name, extending an existing name to make it
unique, or changing an existing name to better reflect what the test
is actually doing, and thus, making this test name unique.
There should be no change in what is tested after this commit.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.cp/breakpoint.exp: Extend test names to make them unique.
* gdb.cp/casts.exp: Give tests unique names.
* gdb.cp/filename.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.cp/gdb2495.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.cp/mb-ctor.exp: Extend test names to make them unique.
* gdb.cp/misc.exp: Rename test to make it unique.
* gdb.cp/nsnested.exp: Give tests unique names.
* gdb.cp/ovldbreak.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.cp/pr17494.exp: Rename test to reflect what is actually
being tested. This also removes the duplicate test name.
* gdb.cp/ref-types.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.cp/temargs.exp: Likewise.
While resolving duplicate test names I spotted that a test in
gdb.cp/cplusfuncs.exp included an unescaped '[]'. In TCL square
brackets enclose expressions to evaluate, and so in this case, where
there is no enclosed expression, this just evaluates to the empty
string.
This clearly was not what the test intended, so in this commit I have
escaped the square brackets. This has extended the test coverage.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.cp/cplusfuncs.exp (test_paddr_operator_functions): Escape
square brackets in test.
I wanted to remove the duplicate test name from gdb.cp/maint.exp. In
this test we run some checks against different operator names. For
one operator we test with a variable number of spaces. However, we
were accidentally testing the one space version twice, and the zero
space version not at all, leading to a duplicate test name.
I could have just changed the duplicate one space version into the
missing zero space version, but I thought it would be neater to wrap
multiple tests in a loop, and check all operators with either zero,
one, or two spaces.
These tests are super quick so take almost no extra time, and this
gives marginally more test coverage.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.cp/maint.exp (test_first_component): Run more tests with a
variable number of spaces, this removes the duplicate testing of
'operator ->' which existed before.
The test gdb.cp/gdb2384.exp contains some duplicate test names, and
also some test names with a string inside parentheses at the end. In
order to resolve the duplicates the obvious choice would be to add yet
more strings inside parentheses at the end of names, however, this is
discouraged in our test naming scheme.
The string in parentheses originates from a comment in the test source
code, which naturally leads to including this comment in the test
name.
In this commit I have changed the comment in the test source to remove
the string in parentheses, I then rename the tests in the .exp script
to match, making sure that all test names are unique.
There should be no change in test coverage after this commit.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.cp/gdb2384.cc (main): Change comments used for breakpoints.
* gdb.cp/gdb2384.exp: Change and extend test names to avoid
duplicates, and also to avoid having a string inside parentheses
at the end of test names.
In trying to resolve the duplicate test names for the
gdb.cp/nsusing.exp script, I ended up giving the test script a serious
spring clean.
This reverts some of the changes introduced in commit df83a9bf8b0d,
but I don't think that we have lost any testing.
The test program is made of many functions, the test script wants to
stop in different functions and check which symbols are in scope.
Previously the test script would either restart GDB completely in
order to "progress" to the next function, or the script would restart
the test program using 'runto'.
In this commit I have reordered the steps of the test to correspond to
program order, I then progress through the test program once by just
placing a breakpoint and then continuing. As I said, the test is
checking which symbols are in scope at each location, so the exact
order of the tests doesn't matter, so long as we check the correct
symbols at each location.
I have also given the comments capital letters and full stops, and
re-wrapped them to a more sensible line length.
There was a duplicate test block introduced in the df83a9bf8b0d
commit which I have removed in this commit, this duplicate code was
responsible for one of the duplicate test names.
The other duplicate test name was due to the same command being run at
different locations, in this case I just gave the two tests explicit,
unique, names.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.cp/nsusing.exp: Rewrite test, remove a duplicate test block.
Avoid repeated uses of 'runto', and instread just progress once
through the test stopping at different breakpoints. Give comments
a capital letter and full stop. Give duplicate tests unique names.

The testcase isn't expecting any output after the prompt.
Why is that "[remote] wait" output? What happens is that "delete

async, which results in the remote target's async event handler ending

FAIL: gdb.base/gdb-caching-proc.exp: supports_memtag: initial: memory-tag check
This is a failure from the `supports_memtag` proc added recently (this
new proc is in lib/gdb.exp).
The problem here is that `supports_memtag` is hitting one of the
default error cases in gdb_test_multiple, specifically it is finding a
$gdb_prompt left unmatched from an earlier call to gdb_test_multiple.
Looking back through the test output I found that the problem is the
proc `gnat_runtime_has_debug_info` in lib/ada.exp. This proc is not
matching the trailing $gdb_prompt. This leaves the prompt in the
expect buffer, then when we run `supports_memtag` it sees the prompt
and thinks that the test completed with no output.
Fixed by making use of `-wrap` in `gnat_runtime_has_debug_info` to
ensure the trailing prompt gets matched.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/ada.exp (gnat_runtime_has_debug_info): Use -wrap with
gdb_test_multiple.
To allow breakpoints to be created at invalid addresses,
target_read_code is used instead of read_code. This was fixed in
commit:

gdb/riscv: Allow breakpoints to be created at invalid addresses
Unfortunately, the call to read_code was left in by mistake. The
result is that GDB will fail when trying to create the breakpoint,
rather than when trying to install the breakpoint (as is the case with
other targets).
This commit fixes this mistake and removes the offending call to
read_code.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* riscv-tdep.c (riscv_breakpoint_kind_from_pc): Remove call to
read_code.
The current_top_target function is a hidden dependency on the current
inferior. Since I'd like to slowly move towards reducing our dependency
on the global current state, remove this function and make callers use
current_inferior ()->top_target ()
There is no expected change in behavior, but this one step towards
making those callers use the inferior from their context, rather than
refer to the global current inferior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (current_top_target): Remove, make callers use the
current inferior instead.
* target.c (current_top_target): Remove.

I noticed that dw2_map_matching_symbols does not use its 'kind'
parameter. This patch removes it. Tested by rebuilding.

* dwarf2/read.c (dw2_map_matching_symbols): Update.
(dw2_expand_symtabs_matching_symbol): Remove 'kind' parameter.

(dwarf2_debug_names_index::expand_symtabs_matching): Update.
Simon pointed out an error that I made in
compile_cplus_conver_struct_or_union in my original C++ compile submission:
if (type->code () == TYPE_CODE_STRUCT)
{
const char *what = TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS (type) ? "struct" : "class";
resuld = instance->plugin ().build_decl
(what, name.get (), (GCC_CP_SYMBOL_CLASS | nested_access
| (TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS (type)
? GCC_CP_FLAG_CLASS_NOFLAG
: GCC_CP_FLAG_CLASS_IS_STRUCT)),
0, nullptr, 0, filename, line);
}
Notice that WHAT will contain "struct" for TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS. Whoops.
Fortunately this first parameter of build_decl is only used for
debugging.

(compile_cplus_convert_struct_or_union): Fix TYPE_DECLARED_CLASS
thinko.
This variable was made static in:
6bd434d6caa4 ("gdb: make some variables static")
But I modified gdbarch.c instead of gdbarch.sh, so the change was
later reverted when gdbarch.c was re-generated.
Do it right this time.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbarch.sh (gdbarch_data_registry): Make static.
* gdbarch.c: Re-generate.

Add an AArch64-specific test and a more generic memory tagging test that
other architectures can run.
Even though architectures not supporting memory tagging can run the memory
tagging tests, the runtime check will make the tests bail out early, as it
would make no sense to proceed without proper support.
It is also tricky to do any further runtime tests for memory tagging, given
we'd need to deal with tags, and those are arch-specific. Therefore the
test in gdb.base is more of a smoke test.
If an architecture wants to implement memory tagging, then it makes sense to
have tests within gdb.arch instead.

* NEWS: Mention memory tagging changes.
Document the changes to the "print" and "x" commands to support memory
tagging.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2021-03-24 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* gdb.texinfo (Data): Document memory tagging changes to the "print"
command.
(Examining Memory): Document memory tagging changes to the "x"
command.
(Memory Tagging): Update with more information on changes to the "x"
and "print" commands.
Extend the "x" and "print" commands to make use of memory tagging
functionality, if supported by the architecture.
The "print" command will point out any possible tag mismatches it finds
when dealing with pointers, in case such a pointer is tagged. No additional
modifiers are needed.
Suppose we have a pointer "p" with value 0x1234 (logical tag 0x0) and that we
have an allocation tag of 0x1 for that particular area of memory. This is the
expected output:
(gdb) p/x p
Logical tag (0x0) does not match the allocation tag (0x1).
$1 = 0x1234
The "x" command has a new 'm' modifier that will enable displaying of
allocation tags alongside the data dump. It will display one allocation
tag per line.
AArch64 has a tag granule of 16 bytes, which means we can have one tag for
every 16 bytes of memory. In this case, this is what the "x" command will
display with the new 'm' modifier:
(gdb) x/32bxm p
<Allocation Tag 0x1 for range [0x1230,0x1240)>
0x1234: 0x01 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x123c: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
<Allocation Tag 0x1 for range [0x1240,0x1250)>
0x1244: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x124c: 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
(gdb) x/4gxm a
<Allocation Tag 0x1 for range [0x1230,0x1240)>
0x1234: 0x0000000000000201 0x0000000000000000
<Allocation Tag 0x1 for range [0x1240,0x1250)>
0x1244: 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000

* gdb.base/options.exp: Adjust for new print options.
* gdb.base/with.exp: Likewise.
Document the new "memory-tag" command prefix and all of its subcommands.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2021-03-24 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* gdb.texinfo (Memory Tagging): New subsection and node.
(AArch64 Memory Tagging Extension): New subsection.
Add new commands under the "memory-tag" prefix to allow users to inspect,
modify and check memory tags in different ways.
The available subcommands are the following:
- memory-tag print-logical-tag <expression>: Prints the logical tag for a
particular address.
- memory-tag withltag <expression> <tag>: Prints the address tagged with the
logical tag <tag>.
- memory-tag print-allocation-tag <expression>: Prints the allocation tag for
a particular address.
- memory-tag setatag <expression> <length> <tags>: Sets one or more allocation
tags to the specified tags.
- memory-tag check <expression>: Checks if the logical tag in <address>
matches its allocation tag.
These commands make use of the memory tagging gdbarch methods, and are still
available, but disabled, when memory tagging is not supported by the
architecture.
I've pondered about a way to make these commands invisible when memory tagging
is not available, but given the check is at runtime (and support may come and go
based on a process' configuration), that is a bit too late in the process to
either not include the commands or get rid of them.
Ideas are welcome.
