In Release 6 of the MIPS architecture [1], instruction RDHWR supports
a 3rd operand to serve as the 3-bit select field for the hardware
register.

opcodes/
* mips-opc.c (mips_builtin_opcodes): Add RDHWR rt rd sel.
gas/
* testsuite/gas/mips/mips.exp: Run hwr-names test.
* testsuite/gas/mips/hwr-names.s: Add test cases for RDHWR with
the SEL field.
* testsuite/gas/mips/mipsr6@hwr-names.d: New file.
This renaming was done to stay consistent with the naming of the new
gdb.InferiorThread.handle method. I had initially named it "thread_handle"
but Tom Tromey suggested just "handle".
The old name (thread_from_thread_handle) still works, but is marked as
deprecated in comments in the code as well as in the documentation.
I have some code which uses these functions. I very much like the
brevity of the new names.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* python.texi (Inferiors In Python): Rename
Inferior.thread_from_thread_handle to Inferior.thread_from_handle.
Add note about the former being deprecated.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_thread_from_thread_handle):
Adjust comments to reflect renaming of thread_from_thread_handle
to thread_from_handle. Adjust keywords. Fix type error message.
(inferior_object_methods): Add thread_from_handle. Retain
thread_from_thread_handle, but mark it as deprecated.
testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.python/py-thrhandle.exp: Adjust tests to call
thread_from_handle instead of thread_from_thread_handle.
InferiorThread.handle() returns a python bytes object. We'd like to
be able to pass the output of this function, a thread handle, to
Inferior.thread_from_thread_handle(). Up to now,
thread_from_thread_handle() expects to receive a gdb.Value input.
This commit adds support to also allow a python buffer object to be
passed as the handle.
infpy_thread_from_thread_handle() calls find_thread_by_handle() which
has the obvious functionality. It used to pass the thread handle via
a struct value pointer. I've revised this interface to instead pass a
gdb::array_view<const gdb_byte> object. (Thanks to Tom Tromey for
suggesting this data structure over an earlier version which passed a
gdb_byte pointer and length.)
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdbthread.h (find_thread_by_handle): Revise declaration.
* thread.c (find_thread_by_handle): Likewise. Adjust
implementation too.
* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_thread_from_thread_handle): Add
support for buffer objects as handles.
- Explicitly include <string> for std::string.
- Use std::make_shared to construct gdb_exception::message instead of
operator new, avoiding one heap allocation (2 instead of 3). Add
'const char *fmt, va_list ap' parameters to
gdb_exception{,error,quit}'s ctors, and do the std::make_shared in
the gdb_exception ctor.
- gdb_exception_error's constructor does not need to have an 'enum
return_reason' parameter, since it is always RETURN_ERROR, by
definition.
- Similarly, gdb_exception_quit's contructor does not need to have
'enum return_reason'/'enum errors' parameters.
- In the gdb_exception_{quit,_error} ctors that take a gdb_exception
as argument, assert that they're being passed a gdb_exception object
of the right 'reason'.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-04-08 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* common/common-exceptions.c (throw_exception): Don't create
named object to throw; throw directly.
(throw_it): Likewise. Don't initialize gdb_exception::message
here, with new; pass FMT and AP to the ctor instead.
* common/common-exceptions.h: Include <string>.
(gdb_exception::gdb_exception(enum return_reason, enum errors,
const char *, va_list)): New ctor. Use std::make_shared.
(gdb_exception_error::gdb_exception_error(enum return_reason, enum
errors)): Delete.
(gdb_exception_error::gdb_exception_error(enum errors, const char
*, va_list)): New.
(gdb_exception_error::gdb_exception_error(const gdb_exception &)):
Add assertion.
(gdb_exception_quit::gdb_exception_quit(enum return_reason, enum
errors)): Delete.
(gdb_exception_quit::gdb_exception_quit(const char *, va_list)): New.
(gdb_exception_quit::gdb_exception_quit(const gdb_exception &)):
Add assertion.
1. Use single entry for vcvtne2ps2bf16 and vdpbf16ps with Disp8ShiftVL.
2. Use 5 entries, instead of 8, for vcvtneps2bf16.
* i386-opc.tbl: Consolidate AVX512 BF16 entries.
* i386-init.h: Regenerated.
This makes exception throwing a bit more efficient, by removing some
copies.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-04-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* common/common-exceptions.c (throw_exception): Rename from
throw_exception_cxx. Remove old copy. Make argument const.
(throw_it): Create and throw exception objects directly.
* common/common-exceptions.h (throw_exception): Make argument
const.
(struct gdb_exception_error): Add constructor.
(struct gdb_exception_quit): Add constructor.
After the rewriting to use try/catch, some of the exception code is
now unused. This patch removes that code.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-04-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* common/common-exceptions.h (exception_rethrow): Don't declare.
(TRY_SJLJ): Update comment.
(TRY, CATCH, END_CATCH): Remove.
* common/common-exceptions.c (exception_rethrow): Remove.
This rewrites gdb's TRY/CATCH to plain C++ try/catch. The patch was
largely written by script, though one change (to a comment in
common-exceptions.h) was reverted by hand.

Now that cleanups have been removed, TRY/CATCH can't be SJLJ-based any
more. This patch simplifies the exception handling code, by removing
the non-working variants.
Note that the "pure" C++ exception handling code is removed as well; I
think the route forward must be to change exceptions to be
self-destructing, so that try_scope_depth can simply be removed.
Some longjmp-based code remains, as it is needed to throw an exception
through readline.
gdb/ChangeLog
2019-04-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* common/common-exceptions.h (GDB_XCPT_SJMP, GDB_XCPT_TRY)
(GDB_XCPT_RAW_TRY, GDB_XCPT): Remove.
(TRY, CATCH, END_CATCH): Remove some definitions.
* common/common-exceptions.c: Don't use GDB_XCPT.
(catcher_list_size): Remove.
(throw_exception, throw_it): Simplify.
x86_64-rdos is one of the few x86_64 targets that is 64-bit only and
the x86_64 configure entries don't depend on elf-vxworks.lo. This
results in undefined references from elfxx-x86.o.
* configure.ac (elfxx_x86): Define and use.
* configure: Regenerate.
I've broken "make info" a couple of times now, because I sometimes
forget to run "make info" after modifying a Texinfo file.
I don't know why gdb's "make all" doesn't build the info pages. I
suspect this was some Cygnus-local oddity back in the day.
This patch changes doc/Makefile.in so that the info pages are built by
"make all". As a point of reference, Automake has essentially always
worked this way. According to the Automake manual (I didn't
double-check) this is required by the GNU coding standards.
The first time I sent this patch, I mentioned that I wanted to look
into some existing bugs in bugzilla about missing "makeinfo".
However, today I tried and I discovered that BFD requires makeinfo,
and builds its info file as part of "all". So, I think this change
doesn't worsen the situation for users in any way, and can simply go
in.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog
2019-04-07 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* Makefile.in (all): Depend on "info".
* ppc-dis.c (print_insn_powerpc): Use a tiny state machine
op_separator to control printing of spaces, comma and parens
rather than need_comma, need_paren and spaces vars.
This patch fixes a build error due to a call to ppc_get_auxv that was
left over after linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 were introduced
in:
974c89e0882ddb03e294eca76a9e3d3bef90eacf gdbserver: Add
linux_get_hwcap
Because the missing call fetched AT_PHDR and not AT_HWCAP,
linux_get_auxv is now visible.
This use also required ppc_get_auxv to return a status variable
indicating that the AT_PHDR entry was not found separately from the
actual value of of the auxv entry. Therefore, the new linux_get_auxv
function is changed to return a status variable and write the entry
value to a pointer passed as an argument.
Note that linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 still use the return
value as both an indicator of that the entry wasn't found and as the
actual value of the entry.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2019-04-05 Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc@linux.ibm.com>
* linux-low.c (linux_get_auxv): Remove static. Return auxv entry
value in argument pointer, return 1 if the entry is found and 0
otherwise. Move comment.
(linux_get_hwcap, linux_get_hwcap2): Use modified linux_get_auxv.
* linux-low.h (linux_get_auxv): Declare.
* linux-ppc-low.c (is_elfv2_inferior): Use linux_get_auxv.
I noticed that "gdbserver --help" contains a few metasyntactic
variables that aren't in upper-case. This patch fixes them to conform
to the GNU standard.

2019-04-05 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com>
* server.c (gdbserver_usage): Use upper-case for metasyntactic

This introduces a new "type_stack" class, and moves all the parser
type stack handling to this class. Parsers that wish to use this
facility must now instantiate this class somehow. I chose this
approach because a minority of the existing parsers require this.

This removes the "paren_depth" global. In most cases, it is made into
a static global in a given parser. I consider this a slight
improvement, because it makes it clear that the variable isn't used
for communication between different modules of gdb. The one exception
is the Rust parser, which already incorporates all local state into a
transient object; in this case the parser depth is now a member.

This makes a new base class, expr_builder, for parser_state. This
