After the recent series of fixes to mark more functions in the
simulator with ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF, there were some build failures in the
ppc sim due, in some cases, to bugs with the arguments being passed,
and in other cases, the issues were (maybe) less serious, with
arguments being the wrong size, or type, for the printf format being
used.
This commit fixes all of the issues that I ran into.
In each case I selected the easiest solution to the problem, which is
usually just casting the argument to the correct type. If anyone
later on thinks the print format should change, please feel free to do
that. What we have here should keep the simulator basically working
as it does currently, which is my goal with this commit.
I noticed that the $want_gnu_debuglink code in gdb/contrib/cc-with-tweaks.sh
uses objcopy instead of $OBJCOPY. Fix this.
Script checked with shellcheck, no new warnings added.

Having two overloads of target_read_auxv that don't have the same goals
is confusing. Rename the one that reads from an explicit target_ops to
target_read_auxv_raw. Also, it occured to me that the non-raw version
could use the raw version, that reduces duplication a bit.

There's a flaw in the interaction of the auxv caching and the fact that
target_auxv_search allows reading auxv from an arbitrary target_ops
(passed in as a parameter). This has consequences as explained in this
thread:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20220719144542.1478037-1-luis.machado@arm.com/
In summary, when loading an AArch64 core file with MTE support by
passing the executable and core file names directly to GDB, we see the
MTE info:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q aarch64-mte-gcore aarch64-mte-gcore.core
...
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Memory tag violation while accessing address 0x0000ffff8ef5e000
Allocation tag 0x1
Logical tag 0x0.
#0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? ()
(gdb)
But if we do it as two separate commands (file and core) we don't:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q -ex "file aarch64-mte-gcore" -ex "core aarch64-mte-gcore.core"
...
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? ()
(gdb)
The problem with the latter is that auxv data gets improperly cached
between the two commands. When executing the file command, auxv gets
first queried here, when loading the executable:

Here, target_auxv_search is called on the inferior's target stack. The
target stack only contains the exec target, so the query returns empty
auxv data. This gets cached for that inferior in `auxv_inferior_data`.
In its constructor (before it is pushed to the inferior's target stack),
the core_target needs to identify the right target description from the
core, and for that asks the gdbarch to read a target description from
the core file. Because some implementations of
gdbarch_core_read_description (such as AArch64's) need to read auxv data
from the core in order to determine the right target description, the
core_target passes a pointer to itself, allowing implementations to call
target_auxv_search it. However, because we have previously cached
(empty) auxv data for that inferior, target_auxv_search searched that
cached (empty) auxv data, not auxv data read from the core. Remember
that this data was obtained by reading auxv on the inferior's target
stack, which only contained an exec target.
The problem I see is that while target_auxv_search offers the
flexibility of reading from an arbitrary (passed as an argument) target,
the caching doesn't do the distinction of which target is being queried,
and where the cached data came from. So, you could read auxv from a
target A, it gets cached, then you try to read auxv from a target B, and
it returns the cached data from target A. That sounds wrong. In our
case, we expect to read different auxv data from the core target than
what we have read from the target stack earlier, so it doesn't make
sense to hit the cache in this case.
To fix this, I propose splitting the code paths that read auxv data from
an inferior's target stack and those that read from a passed-in target.
The code path that reads from the target stack will keep caching,
whereas the one that reads from a passed-in target won't. And since,
searching in auxv data is independent from where this data came from,
split the "read" part from the "search" part.
From what I understand, auxv caching was introduced mostly to reduce
latency on remote connections, when doing many queries. With the change
I propose, only the queries done while constructing the core_target
end up not using cached auxv data. This is fine, because there are just
a handful of queries max, done at this point, and reading core files is
local.
The changes to auxv functions are:
- Introduce 2 target_read_auxv functions. One reads from an explicit
target_ops and doesn't do caching (to be used in
gdbarch_core_read_description context). The other takes no argument,
reads from the current inferior's target stack (it looks just like a
standard target function wrapper) and does caching.
The first target_read_auxv actually replaces get_auxv_inferior_data,
since it became a trivial wrapper around it.
- Change the existing target_auxv_search to not read auxv data from the
target, but to accept it as a parameter (a gdb::byte_vector). This
function doesn't care where the data came from, it just searches in
it. It still needs to take a target_ops and gdbarch to know how to
parse auxv entries.
- Add a convenience target_auxv_search overload that reads auxv
data from the inferior's target stack and searches in it. This
overload is useful to replace the exist target_auxv_search calls that
passed the `current_inferior ()->top_target ()` target and keep the
call sites short.
- Modify parse_auxv to accept a target_ops and gdbarch to use for
parsing entries. Not strictly related to the rest of this change,
but it seems like a good change in the context.
Changes in architecture-specific files (tdep and nat):
- In linux-tdep, linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 get split in two,
similar to target_auxv_search. One version receives auxv data,
target and arch as parameters. The other gets everything from the
current inferior. The latter is for convenience, to avoid making
call sites too ugly.
- Call sites of linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 are adjusted to
use either of the new versions. The call sites in
gdbarch_core_read_description context explicitly read auxv data from
the passed-in target and call the linux_get_hwcap{,2} function with
parameters. Other call sites use the versions without parameters.
- Same idea for arm_fbsd_read_description_auxv.
- Call sites of target_auxv_search that passed
`current_inferior ()->top_target ()` are changed to use the
target_auxv_search overload that works in the current inferior.

On the files generated by sim/common/genmloop.sh, variables pbb_br_type and

Clang generates a warning if there is a function declaration/definition

argument list) are deprecated forms of indefinite arguments
("-Wdeprecated-non-prototype"). On the default configuration, it causes a
build failure (unless "--disable-werror" is specified).
include/getopt.h defines some getopt function definitions but one of them
has a form "extern int getopt ();". If this form is selected in
include/getopt.h, Clang generates a warning and the build fails by default.
In really old environments, this getopt definition with no arguments is
necessary (because the definition may change between environments).
However, this definition is now a cause of problems on modern environments.
A good news is, this definition is not always selected (e.g. if used by
binutils/*.c). This is because configuration scripts of binutils, gas,
gprof and ld tries to find known definition of getopt function is used and
defines HAVE_DECL_GETOPT macro. If this macro is defined when getopt.h is
included, a good form of getopt is used and Clang won't generate warnings.
This commit adds a modified portion of ld/configure.ac to find the known
getopt definition. If we could find one (and we *will* in most modern
environments), we don't need to rely on the deprecated definition.
Clang generates a warning if the format string of a printf-like function is

The simulator doesn't currently handle this instruction class, and so

I noticed in capture_command_output that the output of a single command is
matched using two gdb_test_multiples:
- the first one matching the echoed command and skipping an optional prefix,
- the second one matching the output and the prompt.
This is error-prone, because the first gdb_test_multiple has implicit
clauses which may consume the prompt.
The problem is easy to spot with an example. First consider:
...
set output [capture_command_output "print 1" "\\\$1 = "]
gdb_assert { [string equal $output "1"] }
...
for which we get:
...
PASS: [string equal $output "1"]
...
If we change the prefix string to a no-match, say "1 = ", and update the
output string match accordingly, we get instead:
...
FAIL: capture_command_output for print 1
FAIL: [string equal $output "\$1 = 1"]
...
The first FAIL is produced by the first gdb_test_multiple, consuming the prompt.
The second gdb_test_multiple then silently times out waiting for another prompt,
after which the second FAIL is produced. Note that the timeout is silent
because the gdb_test_multiple is called with an empty message argument.
The second FAIL is because capture_command_output returns "", given that all
the command output was consumed by the first gdb_test_multiple.
Fix this by rewriting capture_command_output to use only a single
gdb_test_multiple.

"recent enough" means a system where libpthread.so was merged with

The problem is that the `run &` command prints some things after the
prompt:
(gdb) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/../lib/libthread_db.so.1".
If expect is quick enough, it will consume only up to the prompt. But
if it is slow enough, it will consume those messages at the same time as
the prompt, in which case the gdb_test used for "run &" won't match. By
default, the prompt used by gdb_test uses a `$` to anchor the match at
the end of the buffer. If there's anything following the prompt, it
won't match.
The diff above adds a delay between sending the command and consuming
the output, giving GDB more time to output the messages, giving a good
chance that expect consumes them at the same time as the prompt.
This is normally handled by using gdb_test_multiple and specifying a
pattern that ends with "$gdb_prompt", but not a trailing $. I think
this is common enough that it deserves its own gdb_test option.
Therefore, add the -no-anchor-prompt option to gdb_test, and
gdb_test_no_output for completeness. Use it in
gdb.base/async-shell.exp.

print_wchar keeps track of when escape sequences are emitted, to force
an escape sequence if needed by a subsequent character. For example
for the string concatenation "\0" "1", gdb will print "\000\061" --
because printing "\0001" might be confusing.
However, this code has two errors. First, this logic is not needed
for octal escapes, because there is a length limit of 3 for octal
escapes, and gdb always prints these with "%.3o". Second, though,
this *is* needed for hex escapes, because those do not have a length
limit.
This patch fixes these problems and adds the appropriate tests.
print_wchar uses wchar_printable, but this isn't needed -- all the
relevant cases are already handled by the 'switch'. This changes the
code to use gdb_iswprint, and removes a somewhat confusing comment
related to this code.
generic_printstr prints an empty string like:
fputs_filtered ("\"\"", stream);
However, this seems wrong to me if the quote character is something
other than double quote. This patch fixes this latent bug. Thanks to
Andrew for the test case.

The struct target_buffer (in gdb_bfd.c) is used to hold information
about an in-memory BFD object created by GDB. For now this mechanism
is used by GDB when loading information about JIT symfiles.
This commit updates target_buffer (in gdb_bfd.c) to be more C++ like,
and, at the same time, adds the base address of the symfile into the
BFD filename.
Right now, every in-memory BFD is given the filename "<in-memory>".
This filename is visible in things like 'maint info symtabs' and
'maint info line-table'. If there are multiple in-memory BFD objects
then it can be hard to match keep track if which BFD is which. This
commit changes the name to be "<in-memory@ADDRESS>" where ADDRESS is
replaced with the base address for where the in-memory symbol file was
read from.
As an example of how this is useful, here's the output of 'maint info
jit' showing a single loaded JIT symfile:

I've added a new test that checks the new in-memory file names are
generated correctly, and also checks that the in-memory JIT files can
be dumped back out using 'dump binary memory'.
The filename argument to gdb_bfd_open_from_target_memory was never
used; this argument had a default value of nullptr, and the only call
to this function, in jit.c, relied on the default value.
In the next commit I'm going to make some changes to the
gdb_bfd_open_from_target_memory function, and, though I could take
account of a filename parameter, it seems pointless to maintain an
unused argument.
This commit removes the filename argument.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
Add two new commands:
set debug infcall on|off
show debug infcall
These enable some new debugging related to when GDB makes inferior
function calls. I've added some basic debugging for what I think are
the major steps in the inferior function call process, but I'm sure we
might want to add more later.
This commit switches to use INFRUN_SCOPED_DEBUG_START_END in the
infrun_debug_show_threads function, which means the output will get an
extra level of indentation, this looks a little nicer I think.
* src-release.sh: Add "-r <date>" option to create reproducible
tarballs based upon a fixed timestamp of <date>.
* binutils/README-how-to-make-a-release: Add a line showing how to
use -r <date> when creating a binutils release.
Currently, despite having a smart pointer for frame_infos, GDB may
attempt to use an invalidated frame_info_ptr, which would cause internal
errors to happen. One such example has been documented as PR
python/28856, that happened when printing frame arguments calls an
inferior function.
To avoid failures, the smart wrapper was changed to also cache the frame
id, so the pointer can be reinflated later. For this to work, the
frame-id stuff had to be moved to their own .h file, which is included
by frame-info.h.
Frame_id caching is done explicitly using the prepare_reinflate method.
Caching is done manually so that only the pointers that need to be saved
will be, and reinflating has to be done manually using the reinflate
method because the get method and the -> operator must not change
the internals of the class. Finally, attempting to reinflate when the
pointer is being invalidated causes the following assertion errors:
check_ptrace_stopped_lwp_gone: assertion `lp->stopped` failed.
get_frame_pc: Assertion `frame->next != NULL` failed.
As for performance concerns, my personal testing with `time make
chec-perf GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=run` showed an actual reduction of around
10% of time running.
This commit also adds a testcase that exercises the python/28856 bug with
7 different triggers, run, continue, step, backtrace, finish, up and down.
Some of them can seem to be testing the same thing twice, but since this
test relies on stale pointers, there is always a chance that GDB got lucky
when testing, so better to test extra.
Regression tested on x86_64, using both gcc and clang.
