gdb: set current thread in sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (PR gdb/27147)
PR 27147 shows that on sparc64, GDB is unable to properly unwind:

#1 0x0000000000100950 in hello () at gdb-test.c:4
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)
The first failing commit is
5b6d1e4fa4fc ("Multi-target support"). The cause
of the change in behavior is due to (thanks for Andrew Burgess for finding
this):
- inferior_ptid is no longer set on entry of target_ops::wait, whereas
it was set to something valid previously
- deep down in linux_nat_target::wait (see stack trace below), we fetch
the registers of the event thread
- on sparc64, fetching registers involves reading memory (in
sparc_supply_rwindow, see stack trace below)
- reading memory (target_ops::xfer_partial) relies on inferior_ptid
being set to the thread from which we want to read memory
This is where things go wrong:

There is a target_read_memory call in sparc_supply_rwindow, whose return
value is not checked. That call fails, because inferior_ptid does not
contain a valid ptid, and uninitialized buffer contents is used.
Ultimately it results in a corrupt stop_pc.
target_ops::fetch_registers can be (and should remain, in my opinion)
independent of inferior_ptid, because the ptid of the thread from which
to fetch registers can be obtained from the regcache. In other words,
implementations of target_ops::fetch_registers should not rely on
inferior_ptid having a sensible value on entry.
The sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers case is special, because it calls
a target method that is dependent on the inferior_ptid value
(target_read_inferior, and ultimately target_ops::xfer_partial). So I would
say it's the responsibility of sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers to set
up inferior_ptid correctly prior to calling target_read_inferior.
This patch makes sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers (and
store_registers, since it works the same) temporarily set inferior_ptid. If we
ever make target_ops::xfer_partial independent of inferior_ptid, setting
inferior_ptid won't be necessary, we'll simply pass down the ptid as a
parameter in some way.
I chose to set/restore inferior_ptid in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, because
I am not convinced that doing so in an inner location (in sparc_supply_rwindow
for instance) would always be correct. We have access to the ptid in
sparc_supply_rwindow (from the regcache), so we _could_ set inferior_ptid
there. However, I don't want to just set inferior_ptid, as that would make it
not desync'ed with `current_thread ()` and `current_inferior ()`. It's
preferable to use switch_to_thread instead, as that switches all the global
"current" stuff in a coherent way. But doing so requires a `thread_info *`,
and getting a `thread_info *` from a ptid requires a `process_stratum_target
*`. We could use `current_inferior()->process_target()` in
sparc_supply_rwindow for this (using target_read_memory uses the current
inferior's target stack anyway). However, sparc_supply_rwindow is also used in
the context of BSD uthreads, where a thread stratum target defines threads. I
presume the ptid in the regcache would be the ptid of the uthread, defined by
the thread stratum target (bsd_uthread_target). Using
`current_inferior()->process_target()` would look up a ptid defined by the
thread stratum target using the process stratum target. I don't think it would
give good results. So I prefer playing it safe and looking up the thread
earlier, in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers.
I added some assertions (in sparc_supply_rwindow and others) to verify
that the regcache's ptid matches inferior_ptid. That verifies that the
caller has properly set the correct global context. This would have
caught (though a failed assertion) the current problem.

ld: adjust ld-scripts/map-address.*
Without setting an image base address and without naming at least .text,
this test produces entirely bogus PE output. To be honest, even the ELF
output looks odd: .text gets placed at 0x10204, and both foo and bar get
associated with .text despite living below its start address.
Since neither image base nor .text placement are the subject of this
test, specify .text placement explicitly and in the PE case force the
image base to zero.

It is my understanding that IMAGE_SCN_LNK_* are supposed to communicate

IMAGE_SCN_LNK_COMDAT, use IMAGE_SCN_MEM_DISCARDABLE in place of
IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE in this case.

ld: don't generate base relocations in PE output for absolute symbols
It is the very nature of absolute symbols that they don't change even
if the loader decides to put the image at other than its link-time base
address. Of the linker-defined (and PE-specific) symbols __image_base__
(and its alias) needs special casing, as it'll still appear to be
absolute at this point.
A new inquiry function in ldexp.c is needed because PE base relocations
get generated before ldexp_finalize_syms() runs, yet whether a
relocation is needed depends on the ultimate property of a symbol.

gdb, testsuite: enforce lazy binding for gdb.btrace/rn-dl-bind.exp
In gdb.btrace/rn-dl-bind.exp we test that we can reverse-step over
recorded dynamic linking. The test covers specific behaviour to support
_dl_runtime_resolve calling the resolved function by returning to it.
This would normally mess up stepping as we'd end up with backtraces that
contain the same functions but different frame ids.
Since GDB needs to recognize a return from _dl_runtime_resolve, the test
only passes when debug information for _dl_runtime_resolve is available.
The test requires that symbols are bound lazily. Otherwise, we won't
record dynamic linking and the test will be fairly pointless.
Recent GCC pass -z now by default to bind symbols eagerly. Add -z lazy to
the test's ldflags to enforce lazy binding.

know how they would match to the recorded trace. Despite the fact that we
should really have been using an assembly source, the assumptions work
pretty well.
With clang-6 -m32, we found a case where the assumptions do not hold.
Adjust the expected source lines a little bit to cover that case, as well.
Should we run into more cases like this, we will have to switch to an
assembly source file.

bfd, ld, libctf: skip zero-refcount strings in CTF string reporting
This is a tricky one. BFD, on the linker's behalf, reports symbols to
libctf via the ctf_new_symbol and ctf_new_dynsym callbacks, which
ultimately call ctf_link_add_linker_symbol. But while this happens
after strtab offsets are finalized, it happens before the .dynstr is
actually laid out, so we can't iterate over it at this stage and
it is not clear what the reported symbols are actually called. So
a second callback, examine_strtab, is called after the .dynstr is
finalized, which calls ctf_link_add_strtab and ultimately leads
to ldelf_ctf_strtab_iter_cb being called back repeatedly until the
offsets of every string in the .dynstr is passed to libctf.
libctf can then use this to get symbol names out of the input (which
usually stores symbol types in the form of a name -> type mapping at
this stage) and extract the types of those symbols, feeding them back
into their final form as a 1:1 association with the real symtab's
STT_OBJ and STT_FUNC symbols (with a few skipped, see
ctf_symtab_skippable).
This representation is compact, but has one problem: if libctf somehow
gets confused about the st_type of a symbol, it'll stick an entry into
the function symtypetab when it should put it into the object
symtypetab, or vice versa, and *every symbol from that one on* will have
the wrong CTF type because it's actually looking up the type for a
different symbol.
And we have just such a bug. ctf_link_add_strtab was not taking the
refcounts of strings into consideration, so even strings that had been
eliminated from the strtab by virtue of being in objects eliminated via
--as-needed etc were being reported. This is harmful because it can
lead to multiple strings with the same apparent offset, and if the last
duplicate to be reported relates to an eliminated symbol, we look up the
wrong symbol from the input and gets its type wrong: if it's unlucky and
the eliminated symbol is also of the wrong st_type, we will end up with
a corrupted symtypetab.
Thankfully the wrong-st_type case is already diagnosed by a
this-can-never-happen paranoid warning:
CTF warning: Symbol 61a added to CTF as a function but is of type 1
or the converse
* CTF warning: Symbol a3 added to CTF as a data object but is of type 2
so at least we can tell when the corruption has spread to more than one
symbol's type.
Skipping zero-refcounted strings is easy: teach _bfd_elf_strtab_str to
skip them, and ldelf_ctf_strtab_iter_cb to loop over skipped strings
until it falls off the end or finds one that isn't skipped.

libctf: minor error-handling fixes
A transient bug in the preceding change (fixed before commit) exposed a
new failure, of ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/diag-parname.d. This attempts to
ensure that if we link a dict with child type IDs but no attached
parent, we get a suitable ECTF_NOPARENT error. This was happening
before this commit, but only by chance, because ctf_variable_iter and
ctf_variable_next check to see if the dict they're passed is a child
dict without an associated parent. We forgot error-checking on the
ctf_variable_next call, and as a result this was concealed -- and
looking for the problem exposed a new bug.
If any of the lookups beneath ctf_dedup_hash_type fail, the CTF link
does *not* fail, but acts quite bizarrely, skipping the type but
emitting an error to the CTF error/warning log -- so the linker will
report an error, emit a partial CTF dict missing some types, and exit
with exitcode 0 as if nothing went wrong. Since ctf_dedup_hash_type is
never expected to fail in normal operation, this is surely wrong:
failures at emission time do not emit partial CTF dicts, so failures
at hashing time should not either.
So propagate the error back up.

libctf: add a deduplicator-specific type mapping table
When CTF linking is done, the linker has to track the association
between types in the inputs and types in the outputs. The deduplicator
does this via the cd_output_emission_hashes, which maps from hashes of
types (valid in both the input and output) to the IDs of types in the
specific dict in which the cd_emission_hashes is held. However, the
nondeduplicating linker and ctf_add_type used a different mechanism, a
dedicated hashtab stored in the ctf_link_type_mapping, populated via
ctf_add_type_mapping and queried via the ctf_type_mapping function. To
allow the same functions to be used for variable and symbol population
in both the deduplicating and nondeduplicating linker, the deduplicator
carefully transferred all its input->output mappings into this hashtab
before returning.
This is *expensive*. The number of entries in this hashtab scales as the
number of input types, and unlike the hashing machinery the type mapping
machinery (the only other thing which scales that way) has not been much
optimized.
Now the nondeduplicating linker is gone, we can throw this out, move
the existing type mapping machinery to ctf-create.c and dedicate it to
ctf_add_type alone, and add a new function ctf_dedup_type_mapping which
uses the deduplicator's built-in knowledge of type mappings directly,
without requiring an expensive repopulation phase.
This speeds up a test link of nouveau.ko (a good worst-case candidate
with a lot of types in each of a lot of input files) from 9.11s to 7.15s
in my testing, a speedup of over 20%.

libctf, include: remove the nondeduplicating CTF linker
The nondeduplicating CTF linker was kept around when the deduplicating
one was added so that people had something to fall back to in case the
deduplicating linker turned out to be buggy. It's now much more stable
than the nondeduplicating linker, in addition to much faster, using much
less memory and producing much better output. In addition, while
libctf has a linker flag to invoke the nondeduplicating linker, ld does
not expose it: the only way to turn it on within ld is an intentionally-
undocumented environment variable. So we can remove it without any ABI
or user-visibility concerns (the only thing we leave around is the
CTF_LINK_NONDEDUP flag, which can easily be interpreted as "deduplicate
less", though right now it does nothing).
This lets us remove a lot of complexity associated with tracking
filenames and CU names separately (something the deduplcating linker
never bothered with, since the cunames are always reliable and ld never
hands us useful filenames anyway)
The biggest lacuna left behind is the ctf_type_mapping machinery, which
slows down deduplicating links quite a lot. We can't just ditch it
because ctf_add_type uses it: removing the slowdown from the
deduplicating linker is a job for another commit.

libctf: reimplement many _iter iterators in terms of _next
Ever since the generator-style _next iterators were introduced, there
have been separate implementations of the functional-style _iter
iterators that do the same thing as _next.
This is annoying and adds more dependencies on the internal guts of the
file format. Rip them all out and replace them with the corresponding
_next iterators. Only ctf_archive_raw_iter and ctf_label_iter survive,
the former because there is no access to the raw binary data of archives
via any _next iterator, and the latter because ctf_label_next hasn't
been implemented (because labels are currently not used for anything).
Tested by reverting the change (already applied) that reimplemented
ctf_member_iter in terms of ctf_member_next, then verifying that the
_iter and _next iterators produced the same results for every iterable
entity within a large type archive.

libctf: ctf_archive_next should set the parent name consistently
The top level of CTF containers is a "CTF archive", which contains a
collection of named members (each a CTF dictionary). In the serialized
file format, this is optional and skipped if the archive would have only
one member, as when no ambiguous types are present: so it is commonplace
to have a simple ctf_dict_t written out, with no archive container
wrapped around it.
But, unlike ctf_archive_iter, ctf_archive_next didn't quite handle this
case right. It should set the name of this fake "member" to
_CTF_SECTION, i.e. ".ctf", but it was failing to do so, so callers got
an unintialized variable back instead and were understandably confused.
So set the name properly.

Weak references to __start_/__stop_ symbols
If a weak reference to a __start_foo or __stop_foo symbol ends up
having no definition due to all the foo sections being removed for
some reason, undef_start_stop currently makes the symbol strong
undefined. That risks a linker undefined symbol error. Fix that by
making the symbol undefweak and also undo some dynamic symbol state.
Note that saving the state of the symbol type at the time
lang_init_start_stop runs is not sufficient. The linker may have
merged in a shared library reference by that point and made what was
an undefweak in regular objects, a strong undefined. So it is
necessary to look at the ELF symbol flags to decide whether an
undefweak is the proper resolution.
Something probably should be done for COFF/PE too, but I'm unsure how
to do go about that.

Minor fix in skip_ctf_tests
I noticed an oddity in skip_ctf_tests -- for me it ends up caching the
string "!0", because it ends with 'return ![...]'. In Tcl, this is
just string concatenation.
The result works because the users of this function have unbraced if
conditions, like:
if [skip_ctf_tests] {
... which works because "if" re-parses the returned string as an
expression, and evaluates that.
There's only a latent bug here, but this is also un-idiomatic, so I am

uses a braced condition (which is what I normally recommend), it will

gdb: relax assertion in target_mourn_inferior
As reported in PR 26861, when killing an inferior on macOS, we hit the
assert:
../../gdb-10.1/gdb/target.c:2149: internal-error: void target_mourn_inferior(ptid_t): Assertion `ptid == inferior_ptid' failed.
This is because darwin_nat_target::kill passes a pid-only ptid to
target_mourn_inferior, with the pid of the current inferior:
target_mourn_inferior (ptid_t (inf->pid));
... which doesn't satisfy the assert in target_mourn_inferior:
gdb_assert (ptid == inferior_ptid);
The reason for this assertion is that target_mourn_inferior is a
prototype shared between GDB and GDBserver, so that shared code in
gdb/nat (used in both GDB and GDBserver) can call target_mourn_inferior.
In GDB's implementation, it is likely that some targets still rely on
inferior_ptid being set to "the current thread we are working on". So
until targets are completely decoupled from inferior_ptid (at least
their mourn_inferior implementations), we need to ensure the passed in
ptid matches inferior_ptid, to ensure the calling code called
target_mourn_inferior with the right global context.
However, I think the assert is a bit too restrictive. The
mourn_inferior operation works on an inferior, not a specific thread.
And by the time we call mourn_inferior, the threads of the inferior
don't exist anymore, the process is gone, so it doesn't really make
sense to require inferior_ptid to point a specific thread.
I looked at all the target_ops::mourn_inferior implementations, those
that read inferior_ptid only care about the pid field, which supports
the idea that only the inferior matters. Other implementations look at
the current inferior (call `current_inferior ()`).
I think it would make sense to change target_mourn_inferior to accept
only a pid rather than a ptid. It would then assert that the pid is the
same as the current inferior's pid. However, this would be a quite
involved change, so I'll keep it for later.
To fix the macOS issue immediately, I propose to relax the assert to
only compare the pids, as is done in this patch.
Another solution would obviously be to make darwin_nat_target::kill pass
inferior_ptid to target_mourn_inferior. However, the solution I propose
is more in line with where I think we want to go (passing a pid to
target_mourn_inferior).

gdb/fortran: don't access non-existent type fields
When attempting to call a Fortran function for which there is no debug
information we currently trigger undefined behaviour in GDB by
accessing non-existent type fields.
The reason is that in order to prepare the arguments, for a call to a
Fortran function, we need to know the type of each argument. If the
function being called has no debug information then obviously GDB
doesn't know about the argument types and we should either give the
user an error or pick a suitable default. What we currently do is
just assume the field exist and access undefined memory, which is
clearly wrong.
The reason GDB needs to know the argument type is to tell if the
argument is artificial or not, artificial arguments will be passed by
value while non-artificial arguments will be passed by reference.
An ideal solution for this problem would be to allow the user to cast
the function to the correct type, we already do this to some degree
with the return value, for example:
(gdb) print some_func_ ()
'some_func_' has unknown return type; cast the call to its declared return type
(gdb) print (integer) some_func_ ()
$1 = 1
But if we could extend this to allow casting to the full function
type, GDB could figure out from the signature what are real
parameters, and what are artificial parameters. Maybe something like
this:
(gdb) print ((integer () (integer, double)) some_other_func_ (1, 2.3)
Alas, right now the Fortran expression parser doesn't seem to support
parsing function signatures, and we certainly don't have support for
figuring out real vs artificial arguments from a signature.
Still, I think we can prevent GDB from accessing undefined memory and
provide a reasonable default behaviour.
In this commit I:
- Only ask if the argument is artificial if the type of the argument
is actually known.
- Unknown arguments are assumed to be artificial and passed by
value (non-artificial arguments are pass by reference).
- If an artificial argument is prefixed with '&' by the user then we
treat the argument as pass-by-reference.
With these three changes we avoid undefined behaviour in GDB, and
allow the user, in most cases, to get a reasonably natural default
behaviour.

gdb: move get_section_table from exec_target to dummy_target
The only target that implements target_ops::get_section_table in a
meaningful way is exec_target. This target calls back into the
program space to return the current global section_table.
The global section table is populated whenever the user provides GDB
with an executable, or when a symbol file is loaded, e.g. when a
dynamic library is loaded, or when the user does add-symbol-file.
I recently ran into a situation where a user, debugging a remote
target, was not supplying GDB with a main executable at all. Instead
the user attached to the target then did add-symbol-file, and then
proceeded to debug the target.
This works fine, but it was noticed that even when
trust-readonly-sections was on GDB was still accessing the target to
get the contents of readonly sections.
The problem is that by not providing an executable there was no
exec_target in the target stack, and so when GDB calls the
target_ops::get_section_table function GDB ends up in
dummy_target::get_section_table, which just returns NULL.
What I want is that even when GDB doesn't have an exec_target in the
target stack, a call to target_ops::get_section_table will still
return the section_table from the current program space.
When considering how to achieve this my first though was, why is the
request for the section table going via the target stack at all? The
set of sections loaded is a property of the program space, not the
target. This is, after all, why the data is being stored in the
program space.
So I initially tried changing target_get_section_table so that,
instead of calling into the target it just returns
current_program_space->target_sections ().
This would be fine except for one issue, target_bfd (from
bfd-target.c). This code is used from solib-svr4.c to create a
temporary target_ops structure that implements two functions
target_bfd::xfer_partial and target_bfd::get_section_table.
The purpose behind the code is to enable two targets, ppc64 and frv to
decode function descriptors from the dynamic linker, based on the
non-relocated addresses from within the dynamic linker bfd object.
Both of the implemented functions in target_bfd rely on the target_bfd
object holding a section table, and the ppc64 target requires that the
target_bfd implement ::get_section_table.
The frv target doesn't require ::get_section_table, instead it
requires the ::xfer_partial. We could in theory change the ppc64
target to use the same approach as frv, however, this would be a bad
idea. I believe that the frv target approach is broken. I'll
explain:
The frv target calls get_target_memory_unsigned to read the function
descriptor. The address being read is the non-relocated address read
from the dynamic linker in solib-srv4.c:enable_break. Calling
get_target_memory_unsigned eventually ends up in target_xfer_partial
with an object type of TARGET_OBJECT_RAW_MEMORY. This will then call
memory_xfer_check_region. I believe that it is quite possible that a
the non-relocated addresses pulled from the dynamic linker could be in
a memory region that is not readable, while the relocated addresses
are in a readable memory region. If this was ever the case for the
frv target then GDB would reject the attempt to read the non-relocated
function pointer.
In contrast the ppc64 target calls target_section_by_addr, which calls
target_get_section_table, which then calls the ::get_section_table
function on the target.
Thus, when reflecting on target_bfd we see two functions,
::xfer_partial and ::get_section_table. The former is required by the
frv target, but that target is (I think) potentially broken. While
the latter is required by the ppc64 target, but this forces
::get_section_table to exist as a target_ops member function.
So my original plan, have target_get_section_table NOT call a
target_ops member function appears to be flawed.
My next idea was to remove exec_target::get_section_table, and instead
move the implementation into dummy_target::get_section_table.
Currently the dummy_target implementation always returns NULL
indicating no section table, but plenty of other dummy_target member
functions do more than just return null values.
So now, dummy_target::get_section_table returns the section table from
the current program space. This allows target_bfd to remain
unchanged, so ppc64 and frv should not be affected.
Making this change removes the requirement for the user to provide an
executable, GDB can now always access the section_table, as the
dummy_target always exists in the target stack.
Finally, there's a test that the target_section table is not empty in
the case where the user does add-symbol-file without providing an
executable.

gdb/riscv: select rv32 target by default when requested
GDB for RISC-V always uses target descriptions. When the target
doesn't provide a target description then a default is selected.
Usually this default is selected based on the properties of the
executable being debugged. However, when there is no executable being
debugged we currently fallback to the riscv:rv64 target description as
the default. This leads to strange behaviour like this:
$ gdb
(gdb) set architecture riscv:rv32
(gdb) p sizeof ($pc)
$1 = 8
Despite the users specifically setting the architecture to riscv:rv32
GDB still thinks that the target has riscv:rv64 register sizes.
The above is a bit of a contrived situation. I actually ran into this
situation while trying to connect to a running riscv:rv32 target
without supplying an executable (the target didn't provide a target
description). When I tried to set a register on the target I ran into
errors because GDB was passing 8 bytes to the target rather than the
expected 4. Even when I manually specified the architecture (as
above) I couldn't convince GDB to only send 4 bytes.
This patch fixes this issue. Now, when we selected a default target
description we will make use of the user selected architecture to
guide our choice. In the above example we now get:
$ gdb
(gdb) set architecture riscv:rv32
(gdb) p sizeof ($pc)
$1 = 4
And my real world example of connecting to a remote without an
executable works fine.
I've used the fact that we can ask GDB about $pc even when no
executable is loaded as the basis for a test to cover this situation.
