A common problem is that python may fail to initialize if PYTHONHOME is
set incorrectly, or points to incompatible default libraries.
Likewise if PYTHONPATH points to incompatible modules.
For instance, say PYTHONHOME is foo, then we get:
...
$ gdb -q
Python path configuration:
PYTHONHOME = 'foo'
PYTHONPATH = (not set)
program name = '/usr/bin/python'
isolated = 0
environment = 1
user site = 1
safe_path = 0
import site = 1
is in build tree = 0
stdlib dir = 'foo/lib64/python3.12'
sys._base_executable = '/usr/bin/python'
sys.base_prefix = 'foo'
sys.base_exec_prefix = 'foo'
sys.platlibdir = 'lib64'
sys.executable = '/usr/bin/python'
sys.prefix = 'foo'
sys.exec_prefix = 'foo'
sys.path = [
'foo/lib64/python312.zip',
'foo/lib64/python3.12',
'foo/lib64/python3.12/lib-dynload',
]
Python Exception <class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'encodings'
Python not initialized
$
...
In this case, it might be easy to figure out what went wrong because of the
obviously incorrect pathnames, but that might not be the case if PYTHONHOME
points to an incompatible python installation.
Fix this by adding a warning with a description of the possible cause and what
to do about it:
...
Python initialization failed: \
failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding
gdb: warning: Python failed to initialize with PYTHONHOME set. Maybe because \
it is set incorrectly? Maybe because it points to incompatible standard \
libraries? Consider changing or unsetting it, or ignoring it using "set \
python ignore-environment on" at early initialization.

Likewise for PYTHONPATH:
...

gdb: warning: Python failed to initialize with PYTHONPATH set. Maybe because \
it points to incompatible modules? Consider changing or unsetting it, or \
ignoring it using "set python ignore-environment on" at early \

Configuration flags "python dont-write-bytecode" and
"python ignore-environment" have effect only at Python initialization.
For instance, setting "python dont-write-bytecode" here has no effect:
...
$ gdb -q
(gdb) show python dont-write-bytecode
Python's dont-write-bytecode setting is auto (currently off).
(gdb) python import sys
(gdb) python print (sys.dont_write_bytecode)
False
(gdb) set python dont-write-bytecode on
(gdb) python print (sys.dont_write_bytecode)
False
...
This is not clear in the code: we set Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag and
Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag in set_python_ignore_environment and
set_python_dont_write_bytecode. Fix this by moving the setting of those
variables to py_initialization.
Furthermore, this is not clear to the user: after Python initialization, the
user can still modify the configuration flags, and observe the changed setting:
...
$ gdb -q
(gdb) show python ignore-environment
Python's ignore-environment setting is off.
(gdb) set python ignore-environment on
(gdb) show python ignore-environment
Python's ignore-environment setting is on.
(gdb)
...
Fix this by emitting a warning when trying to set these configuration flags
after Python initialization:
...
$ gdb -q
(gdb) set python ignore-environment on
warning: Setting python ignore-environment after Python initialization has \
no effect, try setting this during early initialization
(gdb) set python dont-write-bytecode on
warning: Setting python dont-write-bytecode after Python initialization has \
no effect, try setting this during early initialization, or try setting \
sys.dont_write_bytecode
...
and by keeping the values constant after Python initialization.
Since the auto setting for python dont-write-bytecode depends on the current
value of environment variable PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE, we simply avoid it
after Python initialization:
...
$ gdb -q -batch \
-eiex "show python dont-write-bytecode" \
-iex "show python dont-write-bytecode"
Python's dont-write-bytecode setting is auto (currently off).

Function do_start_initialization has a large part dedicated to initializing
the python interpreter, as opposed to the rest of the function where
gdb-specific python support is initialized.
Factor out this part, as new function py_initialize, and rename the existing
py_initialize to py_initialize_catch_abort.
Refactor the new function py_initialize by getting rid of the nested:
...
#ifdef WITH_PYTHON_PATH
#if PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030a0000
#else
#endif
#else
#endif
...
In particular, this changes behaviour for the "!defined (WITH_PYTHON_PATH)"
case.
For the "defined (WITH_PYTHON_PATH)" case, we've started using
Py_InitializeFromConfig () for PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x030a0000 to deal with the
deprecation of Py_SetProgramName in 3.11.
For the "!defined (WITH_PYTHON_PATH)" case, we don't use Py_SetProgramName so
we stuck with Py_Initialize ().
However, in 3.12 Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag and Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag got
deprecated and also here we need Py_InitializeFromConfig () to deal with this,
but the "!defined (WITH_PYTHON_PATH)" case didn't get updated.
This should be taken care of, now that we have this behavior:
- for PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x030a0000 we use Py_Initialize
- for PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x030a0000 we use Py_InitializeFromConfig
I'm not sure how to test the "!defined (WITH_PYTHON_PATH)" though.

Commit de2b4ab50d ("Convert dwarf2_cu::call_site_htab to new hash
table") removed this nullptr check for no good reason. This causes a
crash if `m_call_site_htab` is not set, as shown in PR 32410. My guess
is that when doing this change, I tried to make `m_call_site_htab` not a
pointer, removed this check, then realized it wasn't so obvious, and
forgot to re-add the check.

If a user starts an inferior composed of objfiles that GDB is unable to
read, there is an error thrown in find_sym_fns, printing the famous "I'm
sorry, Dave, I can't do that" and the objfile stops being read. However,
the objfile will already have been linked to the program space, and
future interactions with the objfile will assume that it is readable.
Relevant to this commit, if GDB tries to find out the section that
contains a PC, and this section happens to land in the unreadable
objfile, GDB will try to create a section mapping, eventually calling
update_section_map. Since that function uses bfd to calculate the
sections, it'll think there are sections to be ordered, but when trying
to access the objfile::section_offsets, it'll be indexing a size 0
std::vector, which will end up segfaulting.
Currently, it isn't easy to trigger this crash, but the upcoming
possibility to disable support for some file formats would make the
crash very easy to reproduce, by attempting to debug an unsupported
inferior and using "break *<instruction>" command, or simply connecting
to a gdbserver loaded with an unsupported inferior.
The struct objfile_up seems to have been created to catch these kinds of
errors and unlink the partially-read objfile from the program space, as
the objfile isn't useful to GDB anymore, but it seems to have been added
before find_sym_fns would throw errors for unreadable objfiles, as the
instance in syms_from_objfile_1 (that could save GDB from this crash) is
declared well after find_sym_fns, too late to guard us. This commit
moves the declaration up to the top of the function, so it works as
intended.
Further discussion on the mailing list also agreed that the name
"objfile_up" implies some level of ownership of the pointer, which this
struct doesn't have. So this commit renames the struct to
scoped_objfile_unlinker, which is more descriptive of what the struct is
actually meant to do.
The final change this commit does is add an assertion to
objfile::section_offset and objfile::set_section_offset, which ensures
that the section_offsets vector is large enough to return the desired
offset. This ensures that we won't misteriously segfault or worse,
continue going with garbage data.

bl %plt(sym) => bl 0.

This patch adds support for Guarded Control Stack in AArch64 linker.
This patch implements the following:
1) Defines GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_GCS bit for GCS in
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND macro.
2) Adds readelf support to read and print the GCS feature in GNU
properties in AArch64.
Displaying notes found in: .note.gnu.property
[ ]+Owner[ ]+Data size[ ]+Description
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0
Properties: AArch64 feature: GCS
3) Adds support for the "-z gcs" linker option and document all the values
allowed with this option (-z gcs[=always|never|implicit]) where "-z gcs" is
equivalent to "-z gcs=always". When '-z gcs' option is omitted from the
command line, it defaults to "implicit" and relies on the GCS feature
marking in GNU properties.
4) Adds support for the "-z gcs-report" linker option and document all the
values allowed with this option (-z gcs-report[=none|warning|error]) where
"-z gcs-report" is equivalent to "-z gcs-report=warning". When this option
is omitted from the command line, it defaults to "warning".
The ABI changes adding GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_GCS to the GNU
property GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND is merged into main and
can be found in [1].

The previous message for missing BTI feature in GNU properties was
not very clear. The new message explains that a missing GNU property
marking is lacking on this specific input.
This patch attempts to make the linker output more friendly for the
developers by limiting the number of emitted warning/error messages
related to BTI issues.
Every time an error/warning related to BTI is emitted, the logger
also increments the BTI issues counter. A batch of errors/warnings is
limited to a maximum of 20 explicit errors/warnings. At the end of
the merge, a summary of the total of errors/warning is given if the
number exceeds the limit of 20 invidual messages.
The current implementation of searching the first input BFD with GNU
properties has a bug. The search was not filtering on object inputs
belonging to the output link unit only, but was also including dynamic
objects, BFD plugins, and linker-created files.
This means that the initial initialization of the output properties
were skewed, and warnings on input files that should have been emitted
were not.
This patch fixes the filtering to exclude the object input files not
belonging to the output link unit, not having the same ELF class, and
not the same target architecture.
There is an early exit in _bfd_aarch64_elf_link_setup_gnu_properties
that is enabled when the output link unit is relocatable, i.e. ld
generates an output file that can in turn serve as input to ld. (see
ld manual, -r,--relocatable for more details).
At this stage, the GNU properties have already been merged and errors
or warnings (if any) have already been issued. However, OUTPROP has
not been updated yet.
Not updating OUTPROP means that implicits enablement of BTI PLTs via
the GNU properties will be ignored for final links. Indeed, the
enablement of BTI PLTs is checked inside _bfd_aarch64_add_call_stub_entries
by looking up at gnu_property_aarch64_feature_1_and (OUTPROP).
Since the final link does not happen in the case of partial linking,
the behaviour with or without the early exit should be the same.
Given that there is currently no comment for explain why the exit is
there, and that there might in the future be cases were these properties
affect relocatable links, it is preferrable to drop the early exit.
Move the code related to the search of the first bfd input with GNU
properties to a separate function:
_bfd_aarch64_elf_find_1st_bfd_input_with_gnu_property
Before this patch, warnings were reported normally, and errors
(introduced by a previous patch adding '-z bti-report' option)
were logged as error but were not provoking a link failure.
The root of the issue was a misuse of _bfd_error_handler to
report the errors.
Replacing _bfd_error_handler by info->callbacks->einfo, with the
addition of the formatter '%X' for errors fixed the issue.
Exposing the output GNU property as a parameter of
_bfd_aarch64_elf_link_setup_gnu_properties seems to break the
encapsulation. The output GNU property update should be part of the
function that sets up the GNU properties.
This patch removes the parameter, and perform the update of the GNU
property on the output object inside the function.
The current condition used to check if a GNU feature property is set
on an input object before the merge is a bit confusing.
(aprop && !<something about aprop>) || !aprop
It seems easier to understand if it is changed as follows:
(!aprop || !<something about aprop>)
- declare a new struc aarch_protection_opts to store all the
configuration options related to software protections (i.e. bti-plt,
pac-plt, bti-report level).
- add a new option "-z bti-report" to configure the log level of reported
issues when BTI PLT is forced.
- encapsulate the BTI report inside _bfd_aarch64_elf_check_bti_report.
