When we're stepping (with "step"), we want to skip trampoline-like
functions automatically, including GNU ifunc resolvers. That is done
by infrun.c calling into:
in_solib_dynsym_resolve_code
-> svr4_in_dynsym_resolve_code
-> in_gnu_ifunc_stub
A problem here is that if there's a regular text symbol at the same
address as the ifunc symbol, the minimal symbol lookup in
in_gnu_ifunc_stub may miss the GNU ifunc symbol:
(...)
41: 000000000000071a 53 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc_resolver
(...)
50: 000000000000071a 53 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 gnu_ifunc
(...)
This causes this FAIL in the tests added later in the series:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: resolver received HWCAP
set step-mode on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: set step-mode on
step
0x00007ffff7bd371a in gnu_ifunc_resolver () from build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc/gnu-ifunc-lib-1-0-0.so
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=1: resolver_debug=0: final_debug=0: step
Above, GDB simply thought that it stepped into a regular function, so
it stopped stepping, while it should have continued stepping past the
resolver.
The fix is to teach minimal symbol lookup to prefer GNU ifunc symbols
if desired.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section_1): Rename to ...
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): ... this. Replace
'want_trampoline' parameter by a lookup_msym_prefer parameter.
Handle it.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Delete old implementation.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc): Adjust.
(in_gnu_ifunc_stub): Prefer GNU ifunc symbols.
(lookup_solib_trampoline_symbol_by_pc): Adjust.
* minsyms.h (lookup_msym_prefer): New enum.
(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): Replace 'want_trampoline'
parameter by a lookup_msym_prefer parameter.
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.
