ffeb72b44c sim: sim_cpu: invert sim_cpu storage
Currently all ports have to declare sim_cpu themselves in their
sim-main.h and then embed the common sim_cpu_base in it.  This
dynamic makes it impossible to share common object code among
multiple ports because the core data structure is always different.

Let's invert this relationship: common code declares sim_cpu, and
the port uses the new arch_data field for its per-cpu state.

This is the first in a series of changes: it adds a define to select
between the old & new layouts, then converts all the ports that don't
need custom state over to the new layout.  This includes mn10300 that,
while it defines custom fields in its cpu struct, never uses them.

d026e67ed4 sim: move register headers into sim/ namespace [PR sim/29869]
These headers define the register numbers for each port to implement
the sim_fetch_register & sim_store_register interfaces.  While gdb
uses these, the APIs are part of the sim, not gdb.  Move the headers
out of the gdb/ include namespace and into sim/ instead.

897903a210 sim: ppc: drop old dgen.c generator
The spreg.[ch] files live in the source tree now and are created
with the dgen.py script, so we don't need this old tool anymore.

ee3314c436 sim: ppc: move spreg.[ch] files to the source tree
Simplify the build by moving the generation of these files from
build-time (via dgen.c that we have to compile & execute on the
build system) to maintainer/release mode (via spreg-gen.py that
we only ever execute when the spreg table actually changes).  It
speeds up the build process and makes it easier for us to reason
about & review changes to the code generator.

The tool is renamed from "dgen" because it's hardcoded to only
generated spreg files.  It isn't a generalized tool for creating
lookup tables.

a61ce0ce48 Fix install-strip target
The libtool patch broke install-strip of gdb:

/bin/sh ../../gdb/../mkinstalldirs /src/gdb/inst/share/gdb/python/gdb
transformed_name=`t='s,y,y,'; \
                  echo gdb | sed -e "$t"` ; \

Since INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV is no longer at the beginning of the command, the

09d236daec sim: dv-core: add hw_detach_address method [PR sim/25211]
The core device has an attach address method as the root of the tree
which calls out to the sim API.  But it doesn't have a corresponding
detach method which means we just crash if anything tries to detach
itself from the core.  In practice, the m68hc11 is the only model
that actually tries to detach itself on the fly, so no one noticed
earlier.

With this in place, we can delete the existing detach code from the
m68hc11 model since it defaults to "passthru" callback which will in
turn call the dv-core detach, and they have the same behavior -- call
the sim core API to detach from the address space.

37e5833da5 gdb: fix command lookup in execute_command ()
Commit b5661ff2 ("gdb: fix possible use-after-free when
executing commands") used lookup_cmd_exact () to lookup
command again after its execution to avoid possible
use-after-free error.

However this change broke test gdb.base/define.exp which
defines a post-hook for subcommand ("target testsuite").
In this case,  lookup_cmd_exact () returned NULL because
there's no command 'testsuite' in top-level commands.

This commit fixes this case by looking up the command again
using the original command line via lookup_cmd ().

b1fb503404 gprofng/testsuite: skip Java test without JDK
There's no point in even trying the Java test when gprofng was built

testcase also would fail. On such systems this converts the respective
tests from "unresolved" to "unsupported", making the overall testsuite
run no longer report failure just because of this.

56ba7527d2 bfd_get_relocated_section_contents allow NULL data buffer
This patch removes the bfd_malloc in default_indirect_link_order and
bfd_simple_get_relocated_section_contents, pushing the allocation down
to bfd_get_relocated_section_contents.  The idea is to make use of the
allocation done with sanity checking in bfd_get_full_section_contents,
which is called by bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents.

Doing this exposed a bug in bfd_get_full_section_contents.  With
relaxation it is possible that an input section rawsize is different
to the section size.  In that case we want to use the larger of
rawsize (the on-disk size for input sections) and size.

499766a6d7 Re: The problem with warning in elf_object_p
Commit 5aa0f10c424e added a per_xvec_warn array to provide support for
warnings from elf_object_p (and a later patch for warnings from
pe_bfd_object_p) to be cached and then only printed if the target
matches.  It was quite limited in the style of message supported, only
one message could be printed, and didn't really meet the stated aim of
only warning when a target matches:  There are many other errors and
warnings that can be emitted by functions called from elf_object_p.

So this patch extends the error handler functions to support printing
to a string buffer, extends per_xvec_warn to support multiple errors/
warnings, and hooks this all into bfd_check_format_matches.  If
bfd_check_format_matches succeeds then any errors/warnings are printed
for the matching target.  If bfd_check_format_matches fails either due
to no match or to multiple matches and only one target vector produced
errors, then those errors are printed.

4604c72941 sframe.h: add support for .cfi_negate_ra_state
Use the last remaining bit in the 'SFrame FRE info' word to store whether
the RA is signed/unsigned with PAC authorization code: this bit is named
as the "mangled RA" bit.  This bit is still unused for x86-64.

The behaviour of the mangled-RA info bit in SFrame format closely
follows the behaviour of DW_CFA_AARCH64_negate_ra_state in DWARF.  During
unwinding, whenever an SFrame FRE with non-zero "mangled RA" bit is
encountered, it means the upper bits of the return address contain Pointer
Authentication code.  The unwinder, hence, must use appropriate means to
restore LR correctly in such cases.

9dff6a5d54 Delay checking whether /proc/pid/mem is writable (PR gdb/29907)
As of 1bcb0708f229 ("gdb/linux-nat: Check whether /proc/pid/mem is
writable"), GDB checks if /proc/pid/mem is writable.  This is done
early at GDB startup, in order to get a consistent warning, instead of
a warning that depends on whenever GDB writes to inferior memory.

PR gdb/29907 points out that some build systems (like QEMU's,
apparently) may call 'gdb --version' to check GDB's presence & its
version on the system, and that Gentoo's build process has sandboxing
which blocks the /proc/pid/mem access and thus GDB warns, which
results in build fails.

To help with that, this patch delays the /proc/pid/mem check until we
start or attach to an inferior.  Ends up potentially emiting a warning
close where we already emit other ptrace- and /proc- related warnings,

832a980e17 [gdb/testsuite] Fix race in gdb.threads/detach-step-over.exp
Once in a while I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.threads/detach-step-over.exp: \
  breakpoint-condition-evaluation=host: target-non-stop=off: non-stop=off: \
  displaced=off: iter 1: all threads running
...

In can easily reproduce this by doing:
...
     # Wait a bit, to give time for the threads to hit the
     # breakpoint.
-    sleep 1

     return true
...

Fix this by counting the running threads in a loop, effectively allowing 10
seconds (instead of 1) for the threads to start running, but only sleeping if
needed.

Reduces total execution time from 1m27s to 56s.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

c3efaf0afd gdb: fix crash when getting the value of a label symbol
When the source program contains a goto label, it turns out it's
actually pretty hard for a user to find out more about that label.
For example:

  (gdb) p some_label
  No symbol "some_label" in current context.
  (gdb) disassemble some_label
  No symbol "some_label" in current context.
  (gdb) x/10i some_label
  No symbol "some_label" in current context.
  (gdb) break some_label
  Breakpoint 2 at 0x401135: file /tmp/py-label-symbol-value.c, line 35.

In all cases, some_label is a goto label within the current frame.
Only placing a breakpoint on the label worked.

This all seems a little strange to me, it feels like asking about a
goto label would not be an unreasonable thing for a user to do.

This commit doesn't fix any of the above issues, I mention them just
to provide a little context for why the following issue has probably
not been seen before.

It turns out there is one way a user can access the symbol for a goto
label, through the Python API:

  python frame = gdb.selected_frame()
  python frame_pc = frame.pc()
  python block = gdb.current_progspace().block_for_pc(frame_pc)
  python symbol,_ = gdb.lookup_symbol('some_label', block, gdb.SYMBOL_LABEL_DOMAIN)
  python print(str(symbol.value()))
  ../../src/gdb/findvar.c:204: internal-error: store_typed_address: Assertion `type->is_pointer_or_reference ()' failed.

The problem is that label symbols are created using the
builtin_core_addr type, which is a pure integer type.

When GDB tries to fetch the value of a label symbol then we end up in
findvar.c, in the function language_defn::read_var_value, in the
LOC_LABEL case.  From here store_typed_address is called to store the
address of the label into a value object with builtin_core_addr type.

The problem is that store_typed_address requires that the destination
type be a pointer or reference, which the builtin_core_addr type is
not.

Now it's not clear what type a goto label address should have, but
GCC has an extension that allows users to take the address of a goto
label (using &&), in that case the result is of type 'void *'.

I propose that when we convert the CORE_ADDR value to a GDB value
object, we use builtin_func_ptr type instead of builtin_core_addr,
this means the result will be of type 'void (*) ()'.  The benefit of
this approach is that when gdbarch_address_to_pointer is called the
target type will be correctly identified as a pointer to code, which
should mean any architecture specific adjustments are done correctly.

We can then cast the new value to 'void *' type with a call to
value_cast_pointer, this should not change the values bit
representation, but will just update the type.

After this asking for the value of a label symbol works just fine:

  (gdb) python print(str(symbol.value()))
  0x401135 <main+35>

And the type is maybe what we'd expect:

  (gdb) python print(str(symbol.value().type))
  void *
