This patch adds readelf support for decoding the exception
table opcode "0xb5", which indicates to use effective vsp
as modifier for PAC validation as defined by EHABI
(https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/releases/download/2022Q3/ehabi32.pdf
Section 10.3).

* readelf.c (decode_arm_unwind_bytecode): Add entry to decode opcode 0xb5.
Gnulib generates a warning if the system version of certain functions
are used (to redirect the developer to use Gnulib version). It caused a
compiler error when...
- Compiled with Clang
- -Werror is specified (by default)
- C++ standard used by Clang is before C++17 (by default as of 15.0.0)
when this unit test is activated.
This issue is raised as PR28413.
However, previous proposal to fix this issue (a "fix" to Gnulib):
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2021-10/msg00003.html>
was rejected because it ruins the intent of Gnulib warnings.
So, we need a Binutils/GDB-side solution.
This commit tries to address this issue on the GDB side. We have
"include/diagnostics.h" to disable certain warnings only when necessary.
This commit suppresses the Gnulib warnings by surrounding entire #include
block with DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_USER_DEFINED_WARNINGS to disable Gnulib-
generated warnings on all standard C++ header files.

While looking at test-case gdb.arch/ppc64-symtab-cordic.exp I realized that
the test-case is too restrictive here:
...
if {![istarget "powerpc*"] || ![is_lp64_target]} {
verbose "Skipping powerpc64 separate debug file symtab test."
return
}
...
and can also be run on x86_64-linux, if "set arch powerpc:common64" is
supported, which is the case if we've build gdb with --enable-targets=all.
Fix this by instead checking if powerpc:common64 is in the completion list for
"set arch".
This allows us to remove the 'untested "powerpc:common64 is not supported"'.
While we're at it, clean up the test-case by using clean_restart.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
I realized that the more irregular output of show arch:
...
(gdb) show arch^M
The target architecture is set to "auto" (currently "i386").^M
...
would be a problem for something like:
...
with_set arch powerpc:common64 {}
...
and indeed:
...
(gdb) set arch powerpc:common64^M
The target architecture is set to "powerpc:common64".^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/foo.exp: set arch powerpc:common64
...
and:
...
(gdb) set arch set to "auto" (currently "i386")^M
Undefined item: "set".^M
...
Fix this in with_set by handling this type of output.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
In some test-case I tried to use get_set_option_choices "set architecture" and
ran into max-completions:
...
set architecture simple^M
set architecture tomcat^M
set architecture xscale^M
set architecture *** List may be truncated, max-completions reached. ***^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/foo.exp: complete set architecture
...
There's only one test-case using this currently: gdb.base/parse_number.exp,
and it locally sets max-completions to unlimited.
Fix this by:
- factoring out a new proc with_set out of proc with_complaints, and
- using it to temporarily set max-completions to unlimited in
get_set_option_choice.
Tested on x86_64-linux, by running test-cases that excercise
get_set_option_choice and with_complaints.

Commit 02d04eac "Use strwinerror in gdb/windows-nat.c" also moves
strwinerror() under the USE_WIN32API conditional, which is not defined
for Cygwin (and looks like it shouldn't be, as appears to imply
non-POSIX and MiNGW and WinSock...)
Also enable the declaration and definition of strwinerror() when
__CYGWIN__ is defined.
Commit d08bae3d ("Implement target async for Windows") unconditionally
includes winsock2.h. We don't want to do that on Cygwin, since
including both winsock2.h and sys/select.h causes incompatible
redefinition problems.
Since that include is apparently unneeded, just drop it.
Fixes: d08bae3d
If the counter for LOOP instruction is provided by a register with
value zero, then the instruction must cause a PC jump directly to the
loop end. But in that particular case simulator must not initialize
its internal loop variables, because loop body will not be executed.
Instead, simulator must obtain the loop's end address directly from
the LOOP instruction.

On a testcase like

The instruction is unrecognised due to the hack we have in
extract_pcrel0 in order to disassemble paddi with RA0=0 and R=1 as
pla. I could have just added "&& !(dialect & PPC_OPCODE_RAW)" to the
condition in extract_pcrel0 under which *invalid is set, but went for
this larger patch that reorders the extended insn pla to the more
usual place before its underlying machine insn. (la is after addi

Commit 0be837be9fb4 ("gdb: make "start" breakpoint inferior-specific")
regresses gdb.ada/start.exp:
(gdb) start
Error in expression, near `1'.
(gdb) UNTESTED: gdb.ada/start.exp: start failed to land inside the right procedure
This is because in Ada, the equality operator is =, not ==.
I checked the other languages supported by GDB, these other languages
use = for equality:
- Pascal: tests like gdb.pascal/hello.exp are affected too
- Modula-2: I tried building a Modula-2 hello world using gm2, but it
seems like the generated DWARF doesn't specify the Modula-2 language
in the CUs, it's C++ and C, so the selected language isn't
"modula-2". But if I manually do "set language modula-2" on a dummy
program and then "start", I get the same error.
Other languages all use ==.
So, a short term fix would be to use = or == in the expression, based on
the current language. If this was meant to be permanent, I would
suggest adding something like an "equality_operator" method to
language_defn, that returns the right equality operator for the
language. But the goal is to replace all this with proper
inferior-specific breakpoints, so I hope all this is temporary.

We're currently running into a timeout at:
...
(gdb) start ^M
Error in expression, near `1'.^M
(gdb) UNTESTED: gdb.ada/start.exp: start failed to land inside the right \

With gdb 12.1, on powerpc64le I ran into ERRORs related to has_hw_wp_support
usage, which was already fixed on trunk by commits:
- 13f72372413 ("gdb/testsuite: fix gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp on ppc"), and
- 01a32ee0b8c ("PowerPC, fix gdb.base/watchpoint.exp on Power 9")
While looking into these ERRORs and the commits that fix them, it occurred to
me that while the commits fix the root cause, the failure mode is not great.
The test-cases expect a running instance of gdb upon return, which is not
there, so there's an long stream of ERRORs generated as a result.
Fix this at the start of has_hw_wp_support, by (instead of accomodating a
running gdb instance by calling gdb_exit), checking whether it's called
without a running gdb instance, and erroring out otherwise. This way, there's
just one error.
I also noticed that in case we do an early exit due to !runto_main, we don't
clean up, so copy the missing cleanups (gdb_exit and $obj file deletion) from
the regular exit.
Tested on x86_64-linux, using has_hw_wp_support for x86_64 in
skip_hw_watchpoint_tests.
The python code maintains a list of threads for each inferior. This
list is implemented as a linked list. When the number of threads grows
high, this implementation can begin to be a performance bottleneck as
finding a particular thread_object in the list has a complexity of O(N).
We see this in ROCgdb[1], a downstream port of GDB for AMDGUP. On
AMDGPU devices, the number of threads can get significantly higher than
on usual GDB workloads.
In some situations, we can reach the end of the inferior process with
GDB still having a substantial list of known threads. While running
target_mourn_inferior, we end up in inferior::clear_thread_list which
iterates over all remaining threads and marks each thread exited. This
fires the gdb::observers::thread_exit observer and eventually
py-inferior.c:set_thread_exited gets called. This function searches in
the linked list with poor performances.
This patch proposes to change the linked list that keeps the per
inferior_object list of thread_objects into a std::unordered_map. This
allows to have the search operation complexity be O(1) on average
instead of O(N).
With this patch, we can complete clear_thread_list in about 2.5 seconds
compared to 10 minutes without it.
Except for the performance change, no user visible change is expected.
Regression tested on Ubuntu-22.04 x86_64.

PR gdb/29272
Investigating PR29272, it was mentioned a particular test used to work on
GDB 10, but it started failing with GDB 11 onwards. I tracked it down to
some displaced stepping improvements on commit
187b041e2514827b9d86190ed2471c4c7a352874.
In particular, one of the corner cases using copy_insn_closure_by_addr got
silently broken. It is hard to spot because it doesn't have any good tests
for it, and the situation is quite specific to the Arm target.
Essentially, the change from the displaced stepping improvements made it so
we could still invoke copy_insn_closure_by_addr correctly to return the
pointer to a copy_insn_closure, but it always returned nullptr due to
the order of the statements in displaced_step_buffer::prepare.
The way it is now, we first write the address of the displaced step buffer
to PC and then save the copy_insn_closure pointer.
The problem is that writing to PC for the Arm target requires figuring
out if the new PC is thumb mode or not.
With no copy_insn_closure data, the logic to determine the thumb mode
during displaced stepping doesn't work, and gives random results that
are difficult to track (SIGILL, SIGSEGV etc).
Fix this by reordering the PC write in displaced_step_buffer::prepare
and, for safety, add an assertion to
displaced_step_buffer::copy_insn_closure_by_addr so GDB stops right
when it sees this invalid situation. If this gets broken again in the
future, it will be easier to spot.

The test gdb.cp/call-method-register.exp assumes that the class will be

Since Clang chooses to not add any debug information for base types,
expecting it to be included with libraries' informations, gdb.cp/typeid.exp

making it so when using Clang, the base type variables aren't tested.

When Clang compiles anonymous structures, it does not add linkage names in
their dwarf representations. This is compounded by Clang not adding linkage
names to subprograms of those anonymous structs (for instance, the
constructor). With these 2 things together, GDB is unable to refer to
any of them, so there is no way to pass any of the tests of
gdb.cp/anon-struct.exp
Since this isn't a bug on Clang or GDB according to the DWARF
specifications as DW_AT_name is optional for all DIEs, the test was marked
as untested.
Since I was already touching the file, I also added a comment at the top
of the file explaining what it is testing for.

This is because the test is expecting an extra integer parameter on the

actually wrong with this output, so these tests were changed to test
multiple possible regexps.

When running gdb.cp/derivation.exp using Clang, we get an unexpected
failure when printing the type of a class with an internal typedef. This
happens because Clang doesn't add accessibility information for typedefs
inside classes (see https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57608
for more info). To help with Clang testing, an XFAIL was added to this
test.

When compiling virtual classes's destructors, two versions are compiled,
one with a single parameter (this) and the other with 2 parameters (this
and vtt).
GCC's compilation makes it so either the version with 1
parameter or the one with 2 parameters is called, depending on whether
the destructor is being called by the class itself or by an inherited
class. On the test gdb.cp/mb-ctor.exp, this means that the breakpoint
set at the destructor will be hit 4 times.
Clang, on the other hand, makes the single-parameter version call the 2
parameter version, probably in an attempt to reduce the size of the
resulting executable. This means that the gdb.cp/mb-ctor.exp will hit 6
breakpoints before finishing, and is the reason why this test was
failing. To make this test stop failing, a compiler check is added and
another "continue" instruction is issued to account for this difference.

When attempting to run the gdb.cp/classes.exp test using Clang++, the
test fails to prepare with -Wnon-c-typedef-for-linkage like the
previously fixed gdb.cp/class2.exp. Upon fixing this, the test shows 5
unexpected failures. One such failures is:
ptype/r class class_with_public_typedef
type = class class_with_public_typedef {
private:
int a;
public:
class_with_public_typedef::INT b;
private:
typedef int INT;
}
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/classes.exp: ptype class class_with_public_typedef // wrong access specifier for typedef: private
While g++ provided the following output:
ptype/r class class_with_public_typedef
type = class class_with_public_typedef {
private:
int a;
public:
class_with_public_typedef::INT b;
typedef int INT;
}
(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/classes.exp: ptype class class_with_public_typedef
This error happens because Clang does not add DW_AT_accessibility to
typedefs inside classes, and without this information GDB defaults to
assuming the typedef is private. Since there is nothing that GDB can do
about this, these tests have been set as xfails, and Clang bug 57608 has
been filed.

This patch provides a new function to sanity check section sizes.
It's mostly extracted from what we had in bfd_get_full_section_contents
but also handles compressed debug sections.
Improvements are:
- section file offset is taken into account,
- added checks that a compressed section can be read from file.
The function is then used when handling multiple .debug_* sections
that need to be read into a single buffer, to sanity check sizes
before allocating the buffer.
