gdb:epiphany: Fix breakpoints #10

@palves palves commented Mar 17, 2016

Please pull, to receive a fix that makes GDB breakpoints work as expected.

Breakpoints on the Epiphany are presently broken, because unlike what
the comment says, BKPT does advance the PC.

Before:

 (gdb) b main
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x2c0: file src/e_hello_world.c, line 38.
 (gdb) c
 Continuing.

 Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
 0x000002c2 in main () at src/e_hello_world.c:38
 38              const char                ShmName[] = "hello_shm";
 (gdb)

Note the 0x2c0 -> 0x2c2 offset.

After:

 (gdb) b main
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x2c0: file src/e_hello_world.c, line 38.
 (gdb) c
 Continuing.

 Breakpoint 1, main () at src/e_hello_world.c:38
 38              const char                ShmName[] = "hello_shm";
 (gdb)

Most of the time, the trace should be in one piece.  This case is handled fine
by GDB.  In some cases, however, there may be gaps in the trace.  They result
from trace decode errors or from overflows.

A gap in the trace means we lost an unknown amount of trace.  Gaps can be very
small, such as a few instructions in the same function, or they can be rather
big.  We may, for example, lose a few function calls or returns.  The trace may
continue in a different function and we likely don't know how we got there.

Even though we can't say how the program executed across a gap, higher levels
may not be impacted too much by it.  Let's assume we have functions a-e and a
trace that looks roughly like this:

  a
   \
    b                    b
     \                  /
      c   <gap>        c
                      /
                 d   d
                  \ /
                   e

Even though we can't say for sure, it is likely that b and c are the same
function instance before and after the gap.  This patch is trying to connect
the c and b function segments across the gap.

This will add a to the back trace of b on the right hand side.  The changes are
reflected in GDB's internal representation of the trace and will improve:

  - the output of "record function-call-history /c"
  - the output of "backtrace" in replay mode
  - source stepping in replay mode
    will be improved indirectly via the improved back trace

I don't have an automated test for this patch; decode errors will be fixed and
overflows occur sporadically and are quite rare.  I tested it by hacking GDB to
provoke a decode error and on the expected gap in the gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp
test.

The issue is that we can't predict where we will be able to re-sync in case of
errors.  For the expected decode error in gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp, for example, we
may be able to re-sync somewhere in dlclose, in test, in main, or not at all.

Here's one example run of gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp with and without this patch.

Without the patch, the trace is disconnected and the backtrace is short:

With the patch, GDB is able to connect the trace pieces and we get a full

It worked nicely in this case but it may, of course, also lead to weird
connections; it is a heuristic, after all.

It works best when the gap is small and the trace pieces are long.

This commit fixes a 8.1->8.2 regression exposed by
gdb.python/py-evthreads.exp when testing with
--target_board=native-gdbserver.

gdb.log shows:

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute.  The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running.  create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.

Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object.  Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.

The solib_create_inferior_hook call in symbol_file_command was added by
commit ea142fb ("Fix breakpoints on file reloads for PIE
binaries").  It causes solib_create_inferior_hook to be called while
the inferior is not running, which darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook
does not expect.  darwin_solib_get_all_image_info_addr_at_init, in
particular, assumes that there is a current thread, as it tries to get
the current thread's regcache.

Fix it by adding a target_has_execution check and returning early.  Note
that there is a similar check in svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* solib-darwin.c (darwin_solib_create_inferior_hook): Return
	early if no execution.

So frame #28 already detached the remote process, and then we're
purging the shared libraries.  GDB had opened remote shared libraries
via the target: sysroot, so it tries closing them.  GDBserver is
tearing down already, so remote communication breaks down and we close
the remote target and throw TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR.

Note frame #14:

 #14 0x0000555555ae4730 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x555556515540, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:573

That's a dtor, thus noexcept.  That's the reason for the
std::terminate.

Stepping back a bit, why do we still have open remote files if we've
managed to detach already, and, we're debugging with "target remote"?
The reason is that commit 408f668
makes detach_command hold a reference to the target, so the remote
target won't be finally closed until frame #28 returns.  It's closing
the target that invalidates target file I/O handles.

This commit fixes the issue by not relying on target_close to
invalidate the target file I/O handles, instead invalidate them
immediately in remote_unpush_target.  So when GDB purges the solibs,
and we end up in target_fileio_close (frame adapteva#7 above), there's nothing
to do, and we don't try to talk with the remote target anymore.

The regression isn't seen when testing with
--target_board=native-gdbserver, because that does "set sysroot" to
disable the "target:" sysroot, for test run speed reasons.  So this
commit adds a testcase that explicitly tests detach with "set sysroot
target:".

Note frame #14:

 #14 0x0000555555ae4730 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x555556515540, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:573

That's a dtor, thus noexcept.  That's the reason for the
std::terminate.

The previous patch fixed things such that the exception above isn't
thrown anymore.  However, it's possible that e.g., the remote
connection drops just while a user types "nosharedlibrary", or some
other reason that leads to objfile::~objfile, and then we end up the
same std::terminate problem.

Also notice that frames adapteva#9-adapteva#11 are BFD frames:

 adapteva#9  0x0000555555e09e3f in opncls_bclose (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:599
 adapteva#10 0x0000555555e0a2c7 in bfd_close_all_done (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:847
 adapteva#11 0x0000555555e0a27a in bfd_close (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:814

BFD is written in C and thus throwing exceptions over such frames may
either not clean up properly, or, may abort if bfd is not compiled
with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables (x86-64 defaults that on, but not
all GCC ports do).

Thus frame adapteva#8 seems like a good place to swallow exceptions.  More so
since in this spot we already ignore target_fileio_close return
errors.  That's what this commit does.  Without the previous fix, we'd
see:

 (gdb) detach
 Detaching from program: target:/any/program, process 2197701
 Ending remote debugging.
 [Inferior 1 (process 2197701) detached]
 warning: cannot close "target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2": Remote connection closed

Note it prints a warning, which would still be a regression compared
to GDB 10, if it weren't for the previous fix.
