'info registers' for MIPS throws an error and when it first encounters
an unavailable register. This does not match other architectures
which annotate unavailable registers and continue to print out the
values of subsequent registers. Replace the error by displaying an
aligned "<unavailable>". This string is truncated to "<unavl>" when
displaying a 32-bit register.

* mips-tdep.c (print_gp_register_row): Don't error for unavailable

We should close the file before unlinking because on MS-Windows one

I considered making 'gdb::unlinker::unlinker(const char *)'
'noexcept(true)' and then adding
static_assert (noexcept (gdb::unlinker (filename.c_str ())), "");
but that doesn't really work because gdb::unlinker has a gdb_assert,
which can throw a QUIT if/when the assertion fails. 'noexcept(true)'
would cause GDB to abruptly terminate if/when the assertion fails.

On noMMU platforms, the following code gets compiled:
child_stack = xmalloc (STACK_SIZE * 4);
Where child_stack is a gdb_byte*, and xmalloc() returns a void*. While
the lack of cast is valid in C, it is not in C++, causing the
following build failure:
../nat/linux-ptrace.c: In function 'int linux_fork_to_function(gdb_byte*, int (*)(void*))':
../nat/linux-ptrace.c:273:29: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'gdb_byte* {aka unsigned char*}' [-fpermissive]
child_stack = xmalloc (STACK_SIZE * 4);
Therefore, this commit adds the appropriate cast.

clang complains that for some types, we use both the class and struct
keywords in different places. It's not really a problem, so I think we
can safely turn this warning off.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4 (build_warnings): Add -Wno-mismatched-tags.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* configure: Re-generate.
In warning.m4, we pass all the warning flags one by one to the compiler
to test if they are supported by this particular compiler. If the
compiler exits with an error, we conclude that this warning flag is not
supported and exclude it. This allows us to use warning flags without
having to worry about which versions of which compilers support each
flag.
clang, by default, only emits a warning if an unknown flag is passed:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
The result is that we think that all the warning flags we use are
supported by clang (they are not), and the compilation fails later when
building with -Werror, since the aforementioned warning becomes an
error. The fix is to also pass -Werror when probing for supported
flags, then we'll correctly get an error when using an unknown warning,
and we'll exclude it:
error: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
I am not sure why there is a change in a random comment in
gdbserver/configure, but I suppose it's a leftfover from a previous
patch, so I included it.

* configure: Re-generate.
* warning.m4: Pass -Werror to compiler when checking for

Because we are compiling .c files containing C++ code, clang++ complains

Enforce CPU model for disassembler via its options, if it was specified in XML
target description, otherwise use default method of determining CPU implemented
in disassembler - scanning ELF private header. The latter requires
disassemble_info->section to be properly initialized. To make sure that
info->section is set in all cases this patch partially reverts [1] for ARC: it
reinstates arc_delayed_print_insn as a "print_insn" function for ARC, but
now this function only sets disassemble_info->section and then calls
default_print_insn to do the rest of the job.
Support for CPU in disassembler options for ARC has been added in [2].

In some cases we've been replacing heap-allocated gdb_byte buffers
managed with xmalloc/make_cleanup(xfree) with gdb::vector<gdb_byte>.
That usually pessimizes the code a little bit because std::vector
value-initializes elements (which for gdb_byte means
zero-initialization), while if you're creating a temporary buffer,
you're most certaintly going to fill it in with some data. An
alternative is to use
unique_ptr<gdb_byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[size]);
but it looks like that's not very popular.
Recently, a use of obstacks in dwarf2read.c was replaced with
std::vector<gdb_byte> and that as well introduced a pessimization for
always memsetting the buffer when it's garanteed that the zeros will
be overwritten immediately. (see dwarf2read.c change in this patch to
find it.)
So here's a different take at addressing this issue "by design":
#1 - Introduce default_init_allocator<T>
I.e., a custom allocator that does default construction using default
initialization, meaning, no more zero initialization. That's the
default_init_allocation<T> class added in this patch.
See "Notes" at
<http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector/resize>.
#2 - Introduce def_vector<T>
I.e., a convenience typedef, because typing the allocator is annoying:
using def_vector<T> = std::vector<T, gdb::default_init_allocator<T>>;
#3 - Introduce byte_vector
Because gdb_byte vectors will be the common thing, add a convenience
"byte_vector" typedef:
using byte_vector = def_vector<gdb_byte>;
which is really the same as:
std::vector<gdb_byte, gdb::default_init_allocator<gdb_byte>>;
The intent then is to make "gdb::byte_vector" be the go-to for dynamic
byte buffers. So the less friction, the better.
#4 - Adjust current code to use it.
To set the example going forward. Replace std::vector uses and also
unique_ptr<byte[]> uses.
One nice thing is that with this allocator, for changes like these:
-std::unique_ptr<byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[some_size]);
+gdb::byte_vector buf (some_size);
fill_with_data (buf.data (), buf.size ());
the generated code is the same as before. I.e., the compiler
de-structures the vector and gets rid of the unused "reserved vs size"
related fields.
The other nice thing is that it's easier to write
gdb::byte_vector buf (size);
than
std::unique_ptr<gdb_byte[]> buf (new gdb_byte[size]);
or even (C++14):
auto buf = std::make_unique<gdb_byte[]> (size); // zero-initializes...
#5 - Suggest s/std::vector<gdb_byte>/gdb::byte_vector/ going forward.
Note that this commit actually fixes a couple of bugs where the current
code is incorrectly using "std::vector::reserve(new_size)" and then
accessing the vector's internal buffer beyond the vector's size: see
dwarf2loc.c and charset.c. That's undefined behavior and may trigger
debug mode assertion failures. With default_init_allocator,
"resize()" behaves like "reserve()" performance wise, in that it
leaves new elements with unspecified values, but, it does that safely
without triggering undefined behavior when you access those values.

Since read_pieced_value and write_pieced_value share significant logic,
this patch merges them into a single function rw_pieced_value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (rw_pieced_value): New. Merge logic from...
(read_pieced_value, write_pieced_value): ...here. Reduce to
wrappers that just call rw_pieced_value.
So far write_pieced_value uses write_memory when writing memory pieces to
the target. However, this is a case where GDB potentially overwrites a
watchpoint value. In such a case write_memory_with_notification should be
used instead, so that memory_changed observers get notified.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): When writing the data for a
memory piece, use write_memory_with_notification instead of
write_memory.
The function read_value_memory accepts a parameter embedded_offset and
expects it to represent the byte offset into the given value. However,
the only invocation with a possibly non-zero embedded_offset happens in
read_pieced_value, where a bit offset is passed instead.
Adjust the implementation of read_value_memory to meet the caller's
expectation. This implicitly fixes the invocation in read_pieced_value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* valops.c (read_value_memory): Change embedded_offset to
represent a bit offset instead of a byte offset.
* value.h (read_value_memory): Adjust comment.
In read_pieced_value's main loop, the variables `dest_offset_bits' and
`source_offset_bits' are basically just copies of `offset' and
`bits_to_skip', respectively. In write_pieced_value the copies are
reversed. This is not very helpful when trying to keep the logic between
these functions in sync. Since the copies are unnecessary, this patch
just removes them.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Remove unnecessary variables
dest_offset_bits and source_offset_bits.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
So far GDB ignores the piece offset of all kinds of DWARF bit
pieces (DW_OP_bit_piece) and treats such pieces as if the offset was zero.
This is fixed, and an appropriate test is added.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Respect the piece offset, as
given by DW_OP_bit_piece.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* gdb.dwarf2/var-access.exp: Add test for composite location with
nonzero piece offsets.
So far the main loop in read_pieced_value and write_pieced_value is
structured like this:
(1) Prepare a buffer and some variables we may need;
(2) depending on the DWARF piece type to be handled, use the buffer and
the prepared variables, ignore them, or even recalculate them.
This approach reduces readability and may also lead to unnecessary copying
of data. This patch moves the preparations to the places where sufficient
information is available and removes some of the variables involved.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Move the buffer allocation and
some other preparations to the places where sufficient information
is available.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
For big-endian targets the logic in read/write_pieced_value tries to take
a register piece from the LSB end. This requires offsets and sizes to be
adjusted accordingly, and that's where the current implementation has some
issues:
* The formulas for recalculating the bit- and byte-offsets into the
register are wrong. They just happen to yield correct results if
everything is byte-aligned and the piece's last byte belongs to the
given value.
* After recalculating the bit offset into the register, the number of
bytes to be copied from the register is not recalculated. Of course
this does not matter if everything (particularly the piece size) is
byte-aligned.
These issues are fixed. The size calculation is performed with a new
helper function bits_to_bytes().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (bits_to_bytes): New function.
(read_pieced_value): Fix offset calculations for register pieces
on big-endian targets.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/var-access.exp: Add test for non-byte-aligned
register pieces.
When the variable 'buffer_size' in read_pieced_value and
write_pieced_value was introduced, it was needed for tracking the buffer's
allocated size. Now that the buffer's data type has been changed to a
std::vector, the variable is no longer necessary; so remove it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Remove buffer_size variable.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
On big-endian targets, when targeting a bit-field, write_pieced_value
currently transfers the source value's *most* significant bits to the
target value, instead of its least significant bits. This is fixed.
In particular the fix adjusts the initial value of 'offset', which can now
potentially be nonzero. Thus the variable 'type_len' is renamed to
'max_offset', to avoid confusion. And for consistency, the affected logic
that was mirrored in read_pieced_value is changed there in the same way.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): When writing to a bit-field,
transfer the source value's least significant bits, instead of its
lowest-addressed ones. Rename type_len to max_offset.
(read_pieced_value): Mirror above changes to write_pieced_value as
applicable.
In write_pieced_value, when transferring the data to target memory via a
buffer, the bit offset within the target value is not reduced to its
sub-byte fraction before using it as a bit offset into the buffer. This
is fixed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): In DWARF_VALUE_MEMORY,
truncate full bytes from dest_offset_bits before using it as an
offset into the buffer.
In write_pieced_value, when checking whether the data can be transferred
byte-wise, the current logic verifies the source- and destination offsets
to be byte-aligned, but not the transfer size. This is fixed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): Include transfer size in
byte-wise check.
In write_pieced_value, the number of bytes containing a portion of the
bit-field in a given piece is calculated with the wrong starting offset;
thus the result may be off by one. This bug was probably introduced when
copying this logic from read_pieced_value. Fix it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): Fix copy/paste error in the
calculation of this_size.
In the case of targeting a bit-field, read_pieced_value and
write_pieced_value calculate the number of bits preceding the bit-field
without considering the relative offset of the value's parent. This is
relevant for a structure variable like this:
struct s {
uint64_t foo;
struct {
uint32_t bar;
uint32_t bf : 10; /* <-- target bit-field */
} baz;
} s;
In this scenario, if 'val' is a GDB value representing s.baz.bf,
val->parent represents the whole s.baz structure, and the following holds:
- value_offset (val) == sizeof s.baz.bar == 4
- value_offset (val->parent) == sizeof s.foo == 8
The current logic would only use value_offset(val), resulting in the wrong
offset into the target value. This is fixed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (read_pieced_value): Respect parent value's offset
when targeting a bit-field.
(write_pieced_value): Likewise.
The addr_size field in the piece_closure data structure is a relic from
before introducing the typed DWARF stack. It is obsolete now. This patch
removes it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (struct piece_closure) <addr_size>: Remove field.
(allocate_piece_closure): Drop addr_size parameter.
(dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc_full): Adjust call to
allocate_piece_closure.
When taking a DW_OP_piece or DW_OP_bit_piece from a DW_OP_stack_value, the
existing logic always takes the piece from the lowest-addressed end, which
is wrong on big-endian targets. The DWARF standard states that the
"DW_OP_bit_piece operation describes a sequence of bits using the least
significant bits of that value", and this also matches the current logic
in GCC. For instance, the GCC guality test case pr54970.c fails on s390x
because of this.
This fix adjusts the piece accordingly on big-endian targets. It is
assumed that:
* DW_OP_piece shall take the piece from the LSB end as well;
* pieces reaching outside the stack value bits are considered undefined,
and a zero value can be used instead.

A field f in a structure composed of DWARF pieces may be located in
multiple pieces, where the first and last of those may contain bits from
other fields as well. So when writing to f, the beginning of the first
and the end of the last of those pieces may have to be skipped. But the
logic in write_pieced_value for handling one of those pieces is flawed
when the first and last piece are the same, i.e., f is contained in a
single piece:
< - - - - - - - - - piece_size - - - - - - - - - ->
+-------------------------------------------------+
| skipped_bits | f_bits | / / / / / / / / / / |
+-------------------------------------------------+
The current logic determines the size of the sub-piece to operate on by
limiting the piece size to the bit size of f and then subtracting the
skipped bits:
min (piece_size, f_bits) - skipped_bits
Instead of:
min (piece_size - skipped_bits, f_bits)
So the resulting sub-piece size is corrupted, leading to wrong handling of
this piece in write_pieced_value.
Note that the same bug was already found in read_pieced_value and fixed
there (but not in write_pieced_value), see PR 15391.
This patch swaps the calculations, bringing them into the same (correct)
order as in read_pieced_value.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2loc.c (write_pieced_value): Fix order of calculations for
size capping.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.dwarf2/var-pieces.exp: Add test case for modifying a
variable at nonzero offset.
All target descriptions except mips initialization are called in -tdep.c,
instead of -nat.c, so this patch moves mips target descriptions
initialization to -tdep.c. Secondly, I want to change the target
descriptions from pre-generated to dynamical creation, so I want to test
that these pre-generated target descriptions equal to these dynamically
created ones. Move target descriptions initialization to -tdep.c files so
we can test them in any hosts (if they are still -nat.c, we can only test
them on mips-linux host.).

Now that print_scalar_formatted is more capable, there's no need for
val_print_type_code_int. This patch removes it in favor of
val_print_scalar_formatted.
2017-06-12 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* valprint.h (val_print_type_code_int): Remove.
* valprint.c (generic_val_print_int): Always call
val_print_scalar_formatted.
(val_print_type_code_int): Remove.
* printcmd.c (print_scalar_formatted): Handle options->format==0.
* f-valprint.c (f_val_print): Use val_print_scalar_formatted.
* c-valprint.c (c_val_print_int): Use val_print_scalar_formatted.
* ada-valprint.c (ada_val_print_num): Use
val_print_scalar_formatted.
This unifies the two switches in print_scalar_formatted, removing some
now-redundant code. Now scalar types are never converted to LONGEST,
instead printing is done using print_*_chars, operating on the byte
representation.
ChangeLog
2017-06-12 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* printcmd.c (print_scalar_formatted): Unify the two switches.
Don't convert scalars to LONGEST.

* gdb.arch/altivec-regs.exp: Expect decimal results for uint128.
mips_eabi_push_dummy_call is storing the address of a struct in a
buffer that must have the same of the confisued/set ABI register size.
Add a define for the maximum ABI size and use it to size the local
buffer. Also rename the 'regsize' local to 'abi_regsize' for clarity.
Tested that --enable-targets=all still builds.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Alan Hayward <alan.hayward@arm.com>
* mips-tdep.c (MAX_MIPS_ABI_REGSIZE): New.
(mips_eabi_push_dummy_call): Rename local 'regsize' to
'abi_regsize'. Rename local array 'valbuf' to 'ref_valbuf', and
use MAX_MIPS_ABI_REGSIZE instead of MAX_REGISTER_SIZE to size it.
Assert that abi_regsize bytes fit in 'ref_valbuf'.
... instead of vector of pointers
There's no real reason for having mapped_symtab::data be a vector of
heap-allocated symtab_index_entries. symtab_index_entries is not that
large, it's movable, and it's cheap to move. Making the vector hold
values instead improves cache locality and eliminates many roundtrips
to the heap.
Using the same test as in the previous patch, against the same gdb
inferior, timing improves ~13% further:
~6.0s => ~5.2s (average of 5 runs).
Note that before the .gdb_index C++ifycation patch, we were at ~5.7s.
We're now consistenly better than before.
gdb/ChangeLog
2017-06-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* dwarf2read.c (mapped_symtab::data): Now a vector of
symtab_index_entry instead of vector of
std::unique_ptr<symtab_index_entry>. All users adjusted to check
whether an element's name is NULL instead of checking whether the
element itself is NULL.
(find_slot): Change return type. Adjust.
(hash_expand, , add_index_entry, uniquify_cu_indices)
(write_hash_table): Adjust.
Using the same test as the previous patch, perf shows GDB spending
over 7% in "free". A substantial number of those calls comes from
insertions in the psyms_seen unordered_set causing lots of rehashing
and recreating buckets. Fix this by computing an estimate of the size
of the set upfront.
Using the same test as in the previous patch, against the same gdb
inferior, timing improves ~8% further:
~6.5s => ~6.0s (average of 5 runs).
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* dwarf2read.c (recursively_count_psymbols): New function.
(write_psymtabs_to_index): Call it to compute number of psyms and
pass estimate size of psyms_seen to unordered_set's ctor.
"perf" shows the unordered_map::emplace call in write_hash_table a bit
high up on profiles. Fix this using the find + insert idiom instead
of going straight to insert.
I tried doing the same to the other unordered_maps::emplace calls in
the file, but saw no performance improvement, so left them be.
With a '-g3 -O2' build of gdb, and:
$ cat save-index.cmd
set $i = 0
while $i < 100
save gdb-index .
set $i = $i + 1
end
$ time ./gdb -data-directory=data-directory -nx --batch -q -x save-index.cmd ./gdb.pristine
I get an improvement of ~7%:
~7.0s => ~6.5s (average of 5 runs).
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* dwarf2read.c (write_hash_table): Check if key already exists
before emplacing.
This avoids having to specify the integer size twice in the same line.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* dwarf2read.c (data_buf::append_space): Rename to...

(data_buf::append_uint): New method.
(add_address_entry, write_one_signatured_type)
(write_psymtabs_to_index): Use it.
There's no real need for all this indirection.

I helped someone figure out why their separate debug info (debug
link-based) was not found by gdb. It turns out that the debug file was
not named properly. It made me realize that it is quite difficult to
diagnose this kind of problems. This patch adds some debug output to
show where GDB looks for those files, so that it should be (more)
obvious to find what's wrong.
Here's an example of the result, first with an example of unsuccessful lookup,
and then a successful one.

The displaced_step_free_closure gdbarch hook allows architectures to
free data they might have allocated to complete a displaced step.
However, all architectures using that hook use the
simple_displaced_step_free_closure provided in arch-utils.{c,h}, which
does a simple xfree. We can remove it and do an xfree directly instead
of calling the hook.

* gdbarch.sh (displaced_step_free_closure): Remove.

Hi,
This bug is related to:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-06/msg00216.html>
On stringify_argv, we have to check if args[0] is not NULL before
stringifying anything, otherwise we might do the wrong thing when
trimming the "ret" string in the end. args[0] will be NULL when no
arguments are passed to the inferior that will be started.
Checked in as obvious.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-06-08 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* common/common-utils.c (stringify_argv): Check for "arg[0] !=
NULL".
