2023-12-22Fix build with clang 16Tom Tromey
clang 16 reports a missing declaration in new-op.cc. We believed these operators to be declared starting with C++14, but apparently that is not the case. This patch reverts the earlier change and then updates the comment to reflect the current state. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31141
2023-12-14gdb: change regcache interface to use array_viewSimon Marchi
Change most of regcache (and base classes) to use array_view when possible, instead of raw pointers. By propagating the use of array_view further, it enables having some runtime checks to make sure the what we read from or write to regcaches has the expected length (such as the one in the `copy(array_view, array_view)` function. It also integrates well when connecting with other APIs already using gdb::array_view. Add some overloads of the methods using raw pointers to avoid having to change all call sites at once (which is both a lot of work and risky). I tried to do this change in small increments, but since many of these functions use each other, it ended up simpler to do it in one shot than having a lot of intermediary / transient changes. This change extends into gdbserver as well, because there is some part of the regcache interface that is shared. Changing the reg_buffer_common interface to use array_view caused some build failures in nat/aarch64-scalable-linux-ptrace.c. That file currently "takes advantage" of the fact that reg_buffer_common::{raw_supply,raw_collect} operates on `void *`, which IMO is dangerous. It uses raw_supply/raw_collect directly on uint64_t's, which I guess is fine because it is expected that native code will have the same endianness as the debugged process. To accomodate that, add some overloads of raw_collect and raw_supply that work on uint64_t. This file also uses raw_collect and raw_supply on `char` pointers. Change it to use `gdb_byte` pointers instead. Add overloads of raw_collect and raw_supply that work on `gdb_byte *` and make an array_view on the fly using the register's size. Those call sites could be converted to use array_view with not much work, in which case these overloads could be removed, but I didn't want to do it in this patch, to avoid starting to dig in arch-specific code. During development, I inadvertently changed reg_buffer::raw_compare's behavior to not accept an offset equal to the register size. This behavior (effectively comparing 0 bytes, returning true) change was caught by the AArch64 SME core tests. Add a selftest to make sure that this raw_compare behavior is preserved in the future.

2023-12-14gdb: use reg_buffer_common throughout gdbsupport/common-regcache.hSimon Marchi
Right now, gdbsupport/common-regcache.h contains two abstractons for a regcache. An opaque type `regcache` (gdb and gdbserver both have their own regcache that is the concrete version of this) and an abstract base class `reg_buffer_common`, that is the base of regcaches on both sides. These abstractions allow code to be written for both gdb and gdbserver, for instance in the gdb/arch sub-directory. However, having two different abstractions is impractical. If some common code has a regcache, and wants to use an operation defined on reg_buffer_common, it can't. It would be better to have just one. Change all instances of `regcache *` in gdbsupport/common-regcache.h to be `reg_buffer_common *`, then fix fallouts. Implementations in gdb and gdbserver now need to down-cast (using gdb::checked_static_cast) from reg_buffer_common to their concrete regcache type. Some of them could be avoided by changing free functions (like regcache_register_size) to be virtual methods on reg_buffer_common. I tried it, it seems to work, but I did not include it in this series to avoid adding unnecessary changes.

2023-12-04gdb: Enable early init of thread pool sizeRichard Bunt
This commit enables the early initialization commands (92e4e97a9f5) to modify the number of threads used by gdb's thread pool. The motivation here is to prevent gdb from spawning a detrimental number of threads on many-core systems under environments with restrictive ulimits. With gdb before this commit, the thread pool takes the following sizes: 1. Thread pool size is initialized to 0. 2. After the maintenance commands are defined, the thread pool size is set to the number of system cores (if it has not already been set). 3. Using early initialization commands, the thread pool size can be changed using "maint set worker-threads". 4. After the first prompt, the thread pool size can be changed as in the previous step. Therefore after step 2. gdb has potentially launched hundreds of threads on a many-core system. After this change, step 2 and 3 are reversed so there is an opportunity to set the required number of threads without needing to default to the number of system cores first. There does exist a configure option (added in 261b07488b9) to disable multithreading, but this does not allow for an already deployed gdb to be configured. Additionally, the default number of worker threads is clamped at eight to control the number of worker threads spawned on many-core systems. This value was chosen as testing recorded on bugzilla issue 29959 indicates that parallel efficiency drops past this point. GDB built with GCC 13. No test suite regressions detected. Compilers: GCC, ACfL, Intel, Intel LLVM, NVHPC; Platforms: x86_64, aarch64. The scenario that interests me the most involves preventing GDB from spawning any worker threads at all. This was tested by counting the number of clones observed by strace: strace -e clone,clone3 gdb/gdb -q \ --early-init-eval-command="maint set worker-threads 0" \ -ex q ./gdb/gdb |& grep --count clone The new test relies on "gdb: install CLI uiout while processing early init files" developed by Andrew Burgess. This patch will need pushing prior to this change. The clamping was tested on machines with both 16 cores and a single core. "maint show worker-threads" correctly reported eight and one respectively.

The root cause for the segmentation fault is that linux_is_uclinux gives an incorrect result: it should always return false, given that we're running on a regular linux system, but instead it returns first true, then false. In more detail, the segmentation fault happens as follows: - a program space with an address space is created - a second program space is about to be created. maybe_new_address_space is called, and because linux_is_uclinux returns true, maybe_new_address_space returns false, and no new address space is created - a second program space with the same address space is created - a program space is deleted. Because linux_is_uclinux now returns false, gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (current_inferior ()->arch ()) returns false, and the address space is deleted - when gdb uses the address space of the remaining program space, we run into the segfault, because the address space is deleted. Hardcoding linux_is_uclinux to false makes the test-case pass. We leave addressing the root cause for the following commit in this series. For now, prevent the segmentation fault by making the address space a refcounted object. This was already suggested here [1]: ... A better solution might be to have the address spaces be reference counted ... Tested on top of trunk on x86_64-linux and ppc64le-linux. Tested on top of gdb-14-branch on ppc64-linux.

This change has mostly been done automatically: - gdb::string_view -> std::string_view - #include "gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h" -> #include <string_view> One things which got brought up during review is that gdb::stging_view does support being built from "nullptr" while std::sting_view does not. Two places are manually adjusted to account for this difference: gdb/tui/tui-io.c:tui_getc_1 and gdbsupport/format.h:format_piece::format_piece. The above automatic change transformed "gdb::to_string (const gdb::string_view &)" into "gdb::to_string (const std::string_view &)". The various direct users of this function are now explicitly including "gdbsupport/gdb_string_view.h". A later patch will remove the users of gdb::to_string. The implementation and tests of gdb::string_view are unchanged, they will be removed in a following patch.

Mark the slice methods with [[nodiscard]] (which is standard C++17) so that error would generate a warning.

2023-10-28gdb/gdbsupport/gdbserver: Require c++17Lancelot Six
This patch proposes to require a C++17 compiler to build gdb / gdbsupport / gdbserver. Before this patch, GDB required a C++11 compiler. The general policy regarding bumping C++ language requirement in GDB (as stated in [1]) is: Our general policy is to wait until the oldest compiler that supports C++NN is at least 3 years old. Rationale: We want to ensure reasonably widespread compiler availability, to lower barrier of entry to GDB contributions, and to make it easy for users to easily build new GDB on currently supported stable distributions themselves. 3 years should be sufficient for latest stable releases of distributions to include a compiler for the standard, and/or for new compilers to appear as easily installable optional packages. Requiring everyone to build a compiler first before building GDB, which would happen if we required a too-new compiler, would cause too much inconvenience. See the policy proposal and discussion [here](https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00616.html). The first GCC release which with full C++17 support is GCC-9[2], released in 2019[3], which is over 4 years ago. Clang has had C++17 support since Clang-5[4] released in 2018[5]. A discussions with many distros showed that a C++17-able compiler is always available, meaning that this no hard requirement preventing us to require it going forward.

2023-08-28x86: Add an x86_xsave_layout structure to handle variable XSAVE layouts.John Baldwin
The standard layout of the XSAVE extended state area consists of three regions. The first 512 bytes (legacy region) match the layout of the FXSAVE instruction including floating point registers, MMX registers, and SSE registers. The next 64 bytes (XSAVE header) contains a header with a fixed layout. The final region (extended region) contains zero or more optional state components. Examples of these include the upper 128 bits of YMM registers for AVX. These optional state components generally have an architecturally-fixed size, but they are not assigned architectural offsets in the extended region. Instead, processors provide additional CPUID leafs describing the size and offset of each component in the "standard" layout for a given CPU. (There is also a "compact" format which uses an alternate layout, but existing OS's currently export the "standard" layout when exporting XSAVE data via ptrace() and core dumps.) To date, GDB has assumed the layout used on current Intel processors for state components in the extended region and hardcoded those offsets in the tables in i387-tdep.c and i387-fp.cc. However, this fails on recent AMD processors which use a different layout. Specifically, AMD Zen3 and later processors do not leave space for the MPX register set in between the AVX and AVX512 register sets. To rectify this, add an x86_xsave_layout structure which contains the total size of the XSAVE extended state area as well as the offset of each known optional state component. Subsequent commits will modify XSAVE parsing in both gdb and gdbserver to use x86_xsave_layout.

2023-08-23gdb: add gdb::make_unique functionAndrew Burgess
While GDB is still C++11, lets add a gdb::make_unique template function that can be used to create std::unique_ptr objects, just like the C++14 std::make_unique. If GDB is being compiled with a C++14 compiler then the new gdb::make_unique function will delegate to the std::make_unique. I checked with gcc, and at -O1 and above gdb::make_unique will be optimised away completely in this case. If C++14 (or later) becomes our minimum, then it will be easy enough to go through the code and replace gdb::make_unique with std::make_unique later on. I've make use of this function in all the places I think this can easily be used, though I'm sure I've probably missed some. Should be no user visible changes after this commit.

2023-05-30gdb: add support for %V to printf commandAndrew Burgess
This commit adds a new format for the printf and dprintf commands: '%V'. This new format takes any GDB expression and formats it as a string, just as GDB would for a 'print' command, e.g.: (gdb) print a1 $a = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20} (gdb) printf "%V\n", a1 {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20} (gdb) It is also possible to pass the same options to %V as you might pass to the print command, e.g.: (gdb) print -elements 3 -- a1 $4 = {2, 4, 6...} (gdb) printf "%V[-elements 3]\n", a1 {2, 4, 6...} (gdb) This new feature would effectively replace an existing feature of GDB, the $_as_string builtin convenience function. However, the $_as_string function has a few problems which this new feature solves: 1. $_as_string doesn't currently work when the inferior is not running, e.g: (gdb) printf "%s", $_as_string(a1) You can't do that without a process to debug. (gdb) The reason for this is that $_as_string returns a value object with string type. When we try to print this we call value_as_address, which ends up trying to push the string into the inferior's address space. Clearly we could solve this problem, the string data exists in GDB, so there's no reason why we have to push it into the inferior, but this is an existing problem that would need solving. 2. $_as_string suffers from the fact that C degrades arrays to pointers, e.g.: (gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(a1) 0x404260 <a1> (gdb) The implementation of $_as_string is passed a gdb.Value object that is a pointer, it doesn't understand that it's actually an array. Solving this would be harder than issue #1 I think. The whole array to pointer transformation is part of our expression evaluation. And in most cases this is exactly what we want. It's not clear to me how we'd (easily) tell GDB that we didn't want this reduction in _some_ cases. But I'm sure this is solvable if we really wanted to. 3. $_as_string is a gdb.Function sub-class, and as such is passed gdb.Value objects. There's no super convenient way to pass formatting options to $_as_string. By this I mean that the new %V feature supports print formatting options. Ideally, we might want to add this feature to $_as_string, we might imagine it working something like: (gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(a1, elements = 3, array_indexes = True) where the first item is the value to print, while the remaining options are the print formatting options. However, this relies on Python calling syntax, which isn't something that convenience functions handle. We could possibly rely on strictly positional arguments, like: (gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(a1, 3, 1) But that's clearly terrible as there's far more print formatting options, and if you needed to set the 9th option you'd need to fill in all the previous options. And right now, the only way to pass these options to a gdb.Function is to have GDB first convert them all into gdb.Value objects, which is really overkill for what we want. The new %V format solves all these problems: the string is computed and printed entirely on the GDB side, we are able to print arrays as actual arrays rather than pointers, and we can pass named format arguments. Finally, the $_as_string is sold in the manual as allowing users to print the string representation of flag enums, so given: enum flags { FLAG_A = (1 << 0), FLAG_B = (1 << 1), FLAG_C = (1 << 1) }; enum flags ff = FLAG_B; We can: (gdb) printf "%s\n", $_as_string(ff) FLAG_B This works just fine with %V too: (gdb) printf "%V\n", ff FLAG_B So all functionality of $_as_string is replaced by %V. I'm not proposing to remove $_as_string, there might be users currently depending on it, but I am proposing that we don't push $_as_string in the documentation. As %V is a feature of printf, GDB's dprintf breakpoints naturally gain access to this feature too. dprintf breakpoints can be operated in three different styles 'gdb' (use GDB's printf), 'call' (call a function in the inferior), or 'agent' (perform the dprintf on the remote). The use of '%V' will work just fine when dprintf-style is 'gdb'. When dprintf-style is 'call' the format string and arguments are passed to an inferior function (printf by default). In this case GDB doesn't prevent use of '%V', but the documentation makes it clear that support for '%V' will depend on the inferior function being called. I chose this approach because the current implementation doesn't place any restrictions on the format string when operating in 'call' style. That is, the user might already be calling a function that supports custom print format specifiers (maybe including '%V') so, I claim, it would be wrong to block use of '%V' in this case. The documentation does make it clear that users shouldn't expect this to "just work" though. When dprintf-style is 'agent' then GDB does no support the use of '%V' (right now). This is handled at the point when GDB tries to process the format string and send the dprintf command to the remote, here's an example: Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x... (gdb) dprintf call_me, "%V", a1 Dprintf 1 at 0x401152: file /tmp/hello.c, line 8. (gdb) set sysroot / (gdb) target remote | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x Remote debugging using | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x stdin/stdout redirected Process /tmp/hello.x created; pid = 3088822 Remote debugging using stdio Reading symbols from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2...

Unrecognized format specifier 'V' in printf Command aborted. (gdb) This is exactly how GDB would handle any other invalid format specifier, for example: Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x... (gdb) dprintf call_me, "%Q", a1 Dprintf 1 at 0x401152: file /tmp/hello.c, line 8. (gdb) set sysroot / (gdb) target remote | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x Remote debugging using | gdbserver --once - /tmp/hello.x stdin/stdout redirected Process /tmp/hello.x created; pid = 3089193 Remote debugging using stdio Reading symbols from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2...

Unrecognized format specifier 'Q' in printf Command aborted. (gdb) The error message isn't the greatest, but improving that can be put off for another day I hope.

Add a checked_static_cast overload that works with references. A bad dynamic cast with references throws std::bad_cast, it would be possible to implement the new overload based on that, but it seemed simpler to just piggy back off the existing function. I found some potential uses of this new overload in amd-dbgapi-target.c, update them to illustrate the use of the new overload. To build amd-dbgapi-target.c, on needs the amd-dbgapi library, which I don't expect many people to have. But I have it, and it builds fine here. I did test the new overload by making a purposely bad cast and it did catch it.

2023-04-29gdb: Fix building with latest libc++Manoj Gupta
Latest libc++[1] causes transitive include to <locale> when <mutex> or <thread> header is included. This causes gdb to not build[2] since <locale> defines isupper/islower etc. functions that are explicitly macroed-out in safe-ctype.h to prevent their use. Use the suggestion from libc++ to include <locale> internally when building in C++ mode to avoid build errors. Use safe-gdb-ctype.h as the include instead of "safe-ctype.h" to keep this isolated to gdb since rest of binutils does not seem to use much C++.

2023-03-29gdb: move displaced_step_dump_bytes into gdbsupport (and rename)Andrew Burgess
It was pointed out during review of another patch that the function displaced_step_dump_bytes really isn't specific to displaced stepping, and should really get a more generic name and move into gdbsupport/. This commit does just that. The function is renamed to bytes_to_string and is moved into gdbsupport/common-utils.{cc,h}. The function implementation doesn't really change. Much... ... I have updated the function to take an array view, which makes it slightly easier to call in a couple of places where we already have a gdb::bytes_vector. I've then added an inline wrapper to convert a raw pointer and length into an array view, which is used in places where we don't easily have a gdb::bytes_vector (or similar). Updated all users of displaced_step_dump_bytes. There should be no user visible changes after this commit. Finally, I ended up having to add an include of gdb_assert.h into array-view.h. When I include array-view.h into common-utils.h I ran into build problems because array-view.h calls gdb_assert. Approved-By: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@efficios.com>
