'inf_ptrace::wait' needs to discard termination events reported by
detached child processes. Previously it compared the returned pid
against the pid in inferior_ptid to determine if a termination event
should be discarded or reported. The multi-target changes cleared
inferior_ptid to null_ptid in 'wait' target methods, so this was
always failing and never reporting exit events. Instead, report
termination events whose pid matches any inferior belonging to the
current target.
Several tests started failing on FreeBSD after the multi-target
changes and pass again after this change.

ld's garbage collection test on powerpc64 catered for old compilers

The PR18841 test does cross-module calls from within an ifunc
resolver, which is nasty, and not supported in general since the
called function may not be relocated. In this case the called
function (zoo) is just a stub so doesn't need relocating, but on ppc64
the function descriptor for zoo in the executable won't be relocated
at the time the shared library ifunc resolver runs. That means the
test will fail if your compiler generates PIEs by default.

This one isn't just a weird corner case requiring multiple

Testing using the internal AdaCore test suite showed a regression from
the target string reading changes. In particular, now
ada_exception_message_1 can get the wrong answer in some cases. In
particular, when an Ada exception catchpoint is hit, sometimes the
exception name will be incorrect. The case I was seeing changed from
the correct:
Catchpoint 2, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (catch C_E) at [...]
to:
Catchpoint 2, CONSTRAINT_ERROR (catch C_EE) at [...]
I was not able to reproduce this failure with the Fedora gnat.
Perhaps it is related to some local change to gnat; I do not know.
Meanwhile, because ada_exception_message_1 knows the length of the
string to read, we can use read_memory here. This fixes the bug.
I've updated the test suite to at least exercise this code path.
However, as mentioned above, the new test does not actually provoke
the failure.

While some insns support both XOP.W based operand swapping and 256-bit
operation (XOP.L=1), many others don't support one or both.
For {L,S}LWPCB also fix the so far not decoded ModRM.mod == 3
restriction.
Take the opportunity and replace the custom OP_LWP_E() and OP_LWPCB_E()
routines by suitable other, non-custom operanbd specifiers.
Just like other VEX-encoded scalar insns do.
Besides a testcase for this behavior also introduce one to verify that
XOP scalar insns don't honor -mavxscalar=256, as they don't ignore
XOP.L.
There's no need for custom operand handling here, except for the VEX.W
controlled operand swapping and the printing of the remaining 4-bit
immediate. VEX.W can be handled just like 4-operand insns.
Also take the opportunity and drop the stray indirection through
vex_w_table[].
There's no need for custom operand handling here, except for the VEX.W

This started with me running into the bug described in python/22748,
in summary, if the frame sniffing code accessed any registers within
an inline frame then GDB would crash with this error:
gdb/frame.c:579: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `fi->level == 0' failed.
The problem is that, when in the Python unwinder I write this:
pending_frame.read_register ("register-name")
This is translated internally into a call to `value_of_register',
which in turn becomes a call to `value_of_register_lazy'.
Usually this isn't a problem, `value_of_register_lazy' requires the
next frame (more inner) to have a valid frame_id, which will be the
case (if we're sniffing frame #1, then frame #0 will have had its
frame-id figured out).
Unfortunately if frame #0 is inline within frame #1, then the frame-id
for frame #0 can't be computed until we have the frame-id for #1. As
a result we can't create a lazy register for frame #1 when frame #0 is
inline.
Initially I proposed a solution inline with that proposed in bugzilla,
changing value_of_register to avoid creating a lazy register value.
However, when this was discussed on the mailing list I got this reply:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-June/169633.html
Which led me to look at these two patches:
[1] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-April/167612.html
[2] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-April/167930.html
When I considered patches [1] and [2] I saw that all of the issues
being addressed here were related, and that there was a single
solution that could address all of these issues.
First I wrote the new test gdb.opt/inline-frame-tailcall.exp, which
shows that [1] and [2] regress the inline tail-call unwinder, the
reason for this is that these two patches replace a call to
gdbarch_unwind_pc with a call to get_frame_register, however, this is
not correct. The previous call to gdbarch_unwind_pc takes THIS_FRAME
and returns the $pc value in the previous frame. In contrast
get_frame_register takes THIS_FRAME and returns the value of the $pc
in THIS_FRAME; these calls are not equivalent.
The reason these patches appear (or do) fix the regressions listed in
[1] is that the tail call sniffer depends on identifying the address
of a caller and a callee, GDB then looks for a tail-call sequence that
takes us from the caller address to the callee, if such a series is
found then tail-call frames are added.
The bug that was being hit, and which was address in patch [1] is that
in order to find the address of the caller, GDB ended up creating a
lazy register value for an inline frame with to frame-id. The
solution in patch [1] is to instead take the address of the callee and
treat this as the address of the caller. Getting the address of the
callee works, but we then end up looking for a tail-call series from
the callee to the callee, which obviously doesn't return any sane
results, so we don't insert any tail call frames.
The original patch [1] did cause some breakage, so patch [2] undid
patch [1] in all cases except those where we had an inline frame with
no frame-id. It just so happens that there were no tests that fitted
this description _and_ which required tail-call frames to be
successfully spotted, as a result patch [2] appeared to work.
The new test inline-frame-tailcall.exp, exposes the flaw in patch [2].
This commit undoes patch [1] and [2], and replaces them with a new
solution, which is also different to the solution proposed in the
python/22748 bug report.
In this solution I propose that we introduce some special case logic
to value_of_register_lazy. To understand what this logic is we must
first look at how inline frames unwind registers, this is very simple,
they do this:
static struct value *
inline_frame_prev_register (struct frame_info *this_frame,
void **this_cache, int regnum)
{
return get_frame_register_value (this_frame, regnum);
}
And remember:
struct value *
get_frame_register_value (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum)
{
return frame_unwind_register_value (frame->next, regnum);
}
So in all cases, unwinding a register in an inline frame just asks the
next frame to unwind the register, this makes sense, as an inline
frame doesn't really exist, when we unwind a register in an inline
frame, we're really just asking the next frame for the value of the
register in the previous, non-inline frame.
So, if we assume that we only get into the missing frame-id situation
when we try to unwind a register from an inline frame during the frame
sniffing process, then we can change value_of_register_lazy to not
create lazy register values for an inline frame.
Imagine this stack setup, where #1 is inline within #2.
#3 -> #2 -> #1 -> #0
\______/
inline
Now when trying to figure out the frame-id for #1, we need to compute
the frame-id for #2. If the frame sniffer for #2 causes a lazy
register read in #2, either due to a Python Unwinder, or for the
tail-call sniffer, then we call value_of_register_lazy passing in
frame #2.
In value_of_register_lazy, we grab the next frame, which is #1, and we
used to then ask for the frame-id of #1, which was not computed, and
this was our bug.
Now, I propose we spot that #1 is an inline frame, and so lookup the
next frame of #1, which is #0. As #0 is not inline it will have a
valid frame-id, and so we create a lazy register value using #0 as the
next-frame-id. This will give us the exact same result we had
previously (thanks to the code we inspected above).
Encoding into value_of_register_lazy the knowledge that reading an
inline frame register will always just forward to the next frame
feels.... not ideal, but this seems like the cleanest solution to this
recursive frame-id computation/sniffing issue that appears to crop
up.
The following two commits are fully reverted with this commit, these

This commit adds a new method gdb.Architecture.registers that returns
an object of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptorIterator. This
iterator returns objects of the new type gdb.RegisterDescriptor.
A RegisterDescriptor is not a way to read the value of a register,
this is already covered by Frame.read_register, a RegisterDescriptor
is simply a way to discover from Python, which registers are
available for a given architecture.
I did consider just returning a string, the name of each register,
instead of a RegisterDescriptor, however, I'm aware that it we don't
want to break the existing Python API in any way, so if I return just
a string now, but in the future we want more information about a
register then we would have to add a second API to get that
information. By going straight to a descriptor object now, it is easy
to add additional properties in the future should we wish to.
Right now the only property of a register that a user can access is
the name of the register.
In future we might want to be able to ask the register about is
register groups, or its type.
