x32: gdb: Fix 'call' insn relocation with qRelocInsn
Running the fast tracepoints tests against x32 gdbserver exposes a latent bug. E.g.,: (gdb) continue Continuing. Reading /media/sf_host-pedro/gdb/mygit/build-ubuntu-x32/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.trace/change-loc/change-loc-2.sl from remote target... Thread 1 "change-loc" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. func4 () at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.trace/change-loc.h:24 24 } (gdb) FAIL: gdb.trace/change-loc.exp: 1 ftrace: continue to marker 2 The test sets a fast tracepoint on a shared library. On x32, shared libraries end up loaded somewhere in the upper 2GB of the 4GB address space x32 has access to. When gdbserver needs to copy an instruction to execute it in the jump pad, it asks gdb to relocate/adjust it, with the qRelocInsn packet. gdb converts "call" instructions into a "push $<2GB-4GB addr> + jmp" sequence, however, the "pushq" instruction sign extends its operand, so later when the called function returns, it returns to an incorrectly sign-extended address. E.g., 0xfffffffffabc0000 instead of 0xfabc0000, resulting in the segmentation fault. Fix this by converting calls at such addresses to "sub + mov + jmp" sequences instead. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-08-19 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * amd64-tdep.c (amd64_relocate_instruction) <callq>: Handle return addresses over 0x7fffffff.
