MIPS: Make the IRIX naming of local section symbols consistent
Make the MIPS/IRIX naming of local section symbols consistent between
files produced by generic ELF code and ELF linker code, complementing
commit
174fd7f95561 ("New bfd elf hook: force naming of local section
symbols"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-02/msg00072.html>.
Local section symbols have no names in the standard ELF gABI, however
the lack of a name causes problems with IRIX's MIPSpro linker. To work
around the issue we give them names, however we do that in generic ELF
code only, based on what the `elf_backend_name_local_section_symbols'
hook returns if present. That makes objects created by GAS or `objdump'
work correctly, however not ones created by `ld -r'. That would not
normally cause issues with IRIX systems using GAS and `objdump' only
with the MIPSpro linker, however if GNU LD was used for whatever reason
in producing objects later fed to IRIX's MIPSpro linker, then things
would break.
Modify ELF linker code accordingly then, using the same hook. Adjust
the `ld-elf/64ksec-r' test accordingly so that it also accepts a section
symbol with a name.
Also modify the hook itself so that only actual ET_REL objects have
names assigned to local section symbols. Other kinds of ELF files are
not ever supposed to be relocated with the MIPSpro linker, so we can
afford producing more standard output.
Add suitable GAS, LD and `objcopy' test cases to the relevant testsuites
to keep these tools consistently verified. This change also fixes:
FAIL: objcopy executable (pr25662)
across MIPS targets using the IRIX compatibility mode.

MIPS/LD: Set symtab's `sh_info' correctly for IRIX emulations
Correct ELF linker code so as to set the `sh_info' value of the static
symbol table section according to the section symbols vs other symbols
split where required by the selection of the IRIX compatibility mode for
MIPS target. Add a `elf_backend_elfsym_local_is_section' hook for that
purpose, returning TRUE if it is only STB_LOCAL/STT_SECTION symbols that
are to be considered local for the purpose of this split rather than all
STB_LOCAL symbols.
We do it already in generic ELF code, and have done it since 1993, with
the `elf_backend_sym_is_global' hook, affecting GAS and `objcopy', so
these tools produce correct ELF output in the IRIX compatibility mode,
however if such output is fed as input to `ld -r', then the linker's
output is no longer valid for that mode. The relevant changes to
generic ELF code are:

(split across two GIT commits likely due to repository conversion
peculiarities).
The `elf_backend_sym_is_global' hook however operates on BFD rather than
ELF symbols, making it unsuitable for the ELF linker as the linker does
not convert any symbol tables processed into the BFD format. Converting
the hook to operate on ELF symbols would in principle be possible, but
it would still require a considerable rewrite of `bfd_elf_final_link' to
adapt to the interface.
Therefore, especially given that no new use for the IRIX compatibility
mode is expected, minimize changes made to the ELF linker code and just
add an entirely new hook, and wire it in the o32 and n32 MIPS backends
accordingly; the n64 backend never uses the IRIX compatibility mode.
Since we have no coverage here at all add suitable GAS, LD and `objcopy'
test cases to the relevant testsuites to keep these tools consistently
verified.

In s390-mkopc.c, the function insertExpandedMnemonic() searches for the

found, chooses an extension table using a switch() on that character. The
switch statement contains a default case that prints an error message and
does not set the extension table. Although this case cannot occur, some
GCC versions obviously conclude that the extension table might have been
left uninitialized after the switch statement and consequently emit
maybe-uninitialized warnings for the variables 'ext_table' and
'ext_table_length'.
Circumvent the warning by handling the unreachable default case with

This is because find_pc_partial_function now returns the linkage name

This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new "overload" of

In Jakub's original message about DW_OP_GNU_variable_value:

.. it says:
The intended behavior is that the debug info consumer computes the
value of that referenced variable at the current PC, and if it can
compute it and pushes the value as a generic type integer into the
DWARF stack
Instead, gdb is using the variable's type -- but this fails with some
operations, like DW_OP_and, which expect the types to match.
I believe what was intended was for the value to be cast to the DWARF
"untyped" type, which is what this patch implements. This patch also

gdb/python: make more use of RegisterDescriptors
This commit unifies all of the Python register lookup code (used by
Frame.read_register, PendingFrame.read_register, and
gdb.UnwindInfo.add_saved_register), and adds support for using a
gdb.RegisterDescriptor for register lookup.
Currently the register unwind code (PendingFrame and UnwindInfo) allow
registers to be looked up either by name, or by GDB's internal
number. I suspect the number was added for performance reasons, when
unwinding we don't want to repeatedly map from name to number for
every unwind. However, this kind-of sucks, it means Python scripts
could include GDB's internal register numbers, and if we ever change
this numbering in the future users scripts will break in unexpected
ways.
Meanwhile, the Frame.read_register method only supports accessing
registers using a string, the register name.
This commit unifies all of the register to register-number lookup code
in our Python bindings, and adds a third choice into the mix, the use
of gdb.RegisterDescriptor.
The register descriptors can be looked up by name, but once looked up,
they contain GDB's register number, and so provide all of the
performance benefits of using a register number directly. However, as
they are looked up by name we are no longer tightly binding the Python
API to GDB's internal numbering scheme.
As we may already have scripts in the wild that are using the register
numbers directly I have kept support for this in the API, but I have
listed this method last in the manual, and I have tried to stress that
this is NOT a good method to use and that users should use either a
string or register descriptor approach.
After this commit all existing Python code should function as before,
but users now have new options for how to identify registers.

MIPS/binutils/testsuite: Correct mips.exp test ABI/emul/endian arrangement
The binutils testsuite supports involving LD in processing test cases
and with the MIPS target that has the same issues the LD testsuite does.
So to support LD in the MIPS part of the binutils testsuite similarly
to commit
86b24e15c45b ("MIPS/LD/testsuite: Correct comm-data.exp test
ABI/emul/endian arrangement") update the mips.exp test script to:
- correctly select emulations for targets using non-traditional MIPS
emulations,
- correctly select ABIs for targets that do not support all of them,
- use the default endianness selection where possible to benefit targets
that support only one,
- simplify test invocation by providing ABI-specific `run_dump_test'
wrappers, specifically `run_dump_test_o32', `run_dump_test_n32' and
`run_dump_test_n64', which remove the need to use conditionals across
the Expect script or to repeat ABI-specific GAS and LD flags with each
invocation,
borrowing changes from commit
78da84f99405 ("MIPS/LD/testsuite: Correct
mips-elf.exp test ABI/emul/endian arrangement").
As a side effect this disables o32 ABI testing for targets that are not
supposed to support them and do not with LD, but still have such support
with BFD and GAS due to our inflexibility in configuration. Ultimately
we ought to support having o32 completely disabled.

gdb/fortran: resolve dynamic types when readjusting after an indirection
After dereferencing a pointer (in value_ind) or following a
reference (in coerce_ref) we call readjust_indirect_value_type to
"fixup" the type of the resulting value object.
This fixup handles cases relating to the type of the resulting object
being different (a sub-class) of the original pointers target type.
If we encounter a pointer to a dynamic type then after dereferencing a
pointer (in value_ind) the type of the object created will have had
its dynamic type resolved. However, in readjust_indirect_value_type,
we use the target type of the original pointer to "fixup" the type of
the resulting value. In this case, the target type will be a dynamic
type, so the resulting value object, once again has a dynamic type.
This then triggers an assertion later within GDB.
The solution I propose here is that we call resolve_dynamic_type on
the pointer's target type (within readjust_indirect_value_type) so
that the resulting value is not converted back to a dynamic type.
The test case is based on the original test in the bug report.

[gdb/symtab] Ignore zero line table entries
The DWARF standard states for the line register in the line number information
state machine the following:
...
An unsigned integer indicating a source line number. Lines are numbered
beginning at 1. The compiler may emit the value 0 in cases where an
instruction cannot be attributed to any source line.
...
So, it's possible to have a zero line number in the DWARF line table.
This is currently not handled by GDB. The zero value is read in as any other
line number, but internally the zero value has a special meaning:
end-of-sequence, so the line table entry ends up having a different
interpretation than intended in some situations.
I've created a test-case where various aspects are tested, which has these 4
interesting tests.
1. Next-step through a zero-line instruction, is_stmt == 1
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-line-number-zero.exp: bar1, 2nd next
2. Next-step through a zero-line instruction, is_stmt == 0
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-line-number-zero.exp: bar2, 2nd next
3. Show source location at zero-line instruction, is_stmt == 1

4. Show source location at zero-line instruction, is_stmt == 0

The regression in test 2 at commit
d8cc8af6a1 was filed as PR symtab/26243,
where clang emits zero line numbers.
The way to fix all tests is to make sure line number zero internally doesn't
clash with special meaning values, and by handling it appropriately
everywhere. That however looks too intrusive for the GDB 10 release.
Instead, we decide to ensure defined behaviour for line number zero by
ignoring it. This gives us back the test results from before commit
d8cc8af6a1, fixing PR26243.
We mark the FAILs for tests 3 and 4 as KFAILs. Test 4 was already failing for
the 9.2 release, and we consider the regression of test 3 from gdb 9.2 to gdb
10 the cost for having defined behaviour.

Don't touch frame_info objects if frame cache was reinitialized
This fixes yet another bug exposed by ASAN + multi-target.exp
Running an Asan-enabled GDB against gdb.multi/multi-target.exp exposed
yet another latent GDB bug. See here for the full log:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-July/170761.html
As Simon described, the problem is:
- We create a new frame_info object in restore_selected_frame (by
calling find_relative_frame)
- The frame is allocated on the frame_cache_obstack
- In frame_unwind_try_unwinder, we try to find an unwinder for that
frame
- While trying unwinders, memory read fails because the remote target
closes, because of "monitor exit"
- That calls reinit_frame_cache (as shown above), which resets
frame_cache_obstack
- When handling the exception in frame_unwind_try_unwinder, we try to
set some things on the frame_info object (like *this_cache, which
in fact tries to write into frame_info::prologue_cache), but the
frame_info object is no more, it went away with the obstack.
Fix this by maintaining a frame cache generation counter. Then in
exception handling code paths, don't touch frame objects if the
generation is not the same as it was on entry.
This commit generalizes the gdb.server/server-kill.exp testcase and
reuses it to test the scenario in question. The new tests fail
without the GDB fix.

gdb/disassembly: Update to handle non-statement addresses
After the introduction of support for non-statement addresses in the
line table, the output for 'disassemble /m' can be broken in some
cases.
With the /m format disassembly GDB associates a set of addresses with
each line, these addresses are then sorted and printed for each line.
When the non-statement support was added GDB was incorrectly told to
ignore non-statement instructions, and not add these to the result
table. This means that these instructions are completely missing from
the output.
This commit removes the code that caused non-statement lines to be
ignored.
A result of this change is that GDB will now potentially include new
line numbers in the 'disassemble /m' output, lines that previously
were only in the line table as non-statement lines will now appear in
the disassembly output. This feels like an improvement though.

While debugging this patch, I also observed that use of the construct

New core file tests with mappings over existing program memory
This test case was inspired by Pedro's demonstration of a problem
with my v2 patches. It can be found here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168826.html
In a nutshell, my earlier patches could not handle the case in
which a read-only mapping created with mmap() was created at
an address used by other file-backed read-only memory in use by
the process.
This problem has been fixed (for Linux, anyway) by the commit "Use
NT_FILE note section for reading core target memory".
When I run this test without any of my recent corefile patches,
I see these failures:
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[0]@4
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[pagesize-4]@4
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[-3]@6
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[pagesize-3]@6
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: maint print core-file-backed-mappings
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: gcore core: print/x mbuf_ro[-3]@6
The ones involving mbuf_ro will almost certainly fail when run on
non-Linux systems; I've used setup_xfail on those tests to prevent
them from outright FAILing when not run on Linux. For a time, I
had considered skipping these tests altogether when not run on
Linux, but I changed my mind due to this failure...
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
I think it *should* pass without my recent corefile patches. The fact
that it doesn't is likely due to a bug in GDB. The following
interaction with GDB demonstrates the problem:
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
$1 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize]@3
$2 = {0x6b, 0x6b, 0x6b}
The last three values in display of $1 should be the same as those
shown by $2. Like this...
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
$1 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x6b, 0x6b, 0x6b}
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize]@3
$2 = {0x6b, 0x6b, 0x6b}
That latter output was obtained with the use of all of my current
corefile patches. I see no failures on Linux when running this test
with my current set of corefile patches. I tested 3 architectures:
x86_64, s390x, and aarch64.
I also tested on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE. I see the following results
both with and without the current set of core file patches:
# of expected passes 26
# of expected failures 8
Of particular interest is that I did *not* see the problematic mbuf_rw
failure noted earlier (both with and without the core file patches).
I still don't have an explanation for why this failure occurred on
Linux. Prior to running the tests, I had hypothesized that I'd see
this failure on FreeBSD too, but testing shows that this is not the
case.
Also of importance is that we see no FAILs with this test on FreeBSD
which indicates that I XFAILed the correct tests.
This version runs the interesting tests twice, once with a kernel
created core file and another time with a gcore created core file.
It also does a very minimal test of the new command "maint print
core-file-backed-mappings".

Add new command "maint print core-file-backed-mappings"
I wrote a read_core_file_mappings method for FreeBSD and then registered
this gdbarch method. I saw some strange behavior while testing it and
wanted a way to make sure that mappings were being correctly loaded
into corelow.c, so I wrote the new command which is the topic of this
commit. I think it might be occasionally useful for debugging strange
corefile behavior.
With regard to FreeBSD, my work isn't ready yet. Unlike Linux,
FreeBSD puts all mappings into its core file note. And, unlike Linux,
it doesn't dump load segments which occupy no space in the file. So
my (perhaps naive) implementation of a FreeBSD read_core_file_mappings
didn't work all that well: I saw more failures in the corefile2.exp
tests than without it. I think it should be possible to make FreeBSD
work as well as Linux, but it will require doing something with all of
the mappings, not just the file based mappings that I was considering.
In the v4 series, Pedro asked the following:
I don't understand what this command provides that "info proc
mappings" doesn't? Can you give an example of when you'd use this
command over "info proc mappings" ?
On Linux, "info proc mappings" and "maint print core-file-backed-mappings"
will produce similar, possibly identical, output. This need not be
the case for other OSes. E.g. on FreeBSD, had I finished the
implementation, the output from these commands would have been very
different. The FreeBSD "info proc mappings" command would show
additional (non-file-backed) mappings in addition to at least one
additional field (memory permissions) for each mapping.
As noted earlier, I was seeing some unexpected behavior while working
on the FreeBSD implementation and wanted to be certain that the
mappings were being correctly loaded by corelow.c. "info proc
mappings" prints the core file mappings, but doesn't tell us anything
about whether they've been loaded by corelow.c This new maintenance
command directly interrogates the data structures and prints the
values found there.

I had originally marked the test as XFAIL, but Mihails Strasuns

Use NT_FILE note section for reading core target memory
In his reviews of my v1 and v2 corefile related patches, Pedro
identified two cases which weren't handled by those patches.
In https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168826.html,
Pedro showed that debugging a core file in which mmap() is used to
create a new mapping over an existing file-backed mapping will
produce incorrect results. I.e, for his example, GDB would
show:
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x00000000004004e6 <+0>: push %rbp
0x00000000004004e7 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
=> 0x00000000004004ea <+4>: callq 0x4003f0 <abort@plt>
End of assembler dump.
This sort of looks like it might be correct, but is not due to the
fact that mmap(...MAP_FIXED...) was used to create a mapping (of all
zeros) on top of the .text section. So, the correct result should be:
(gdb) disassemble main
Dump of assembler code for function main:
0x00000000004004e6 <+0>: add %al,(%rax)
0x00000000004004e8 <+2>: add %al,(%rax)
=> 0x00000000004004ea <+4>: add %al,(%rax)
0x00000000004004ec <+6>: add %al,(%rax)
0x00000000004004ee <+8>: add %al,(%rax)
End of assembler dump.
The other case that Pedro found involved an attempted examination of a
particular section in the test case from gdb.base/corefile.exp. On
Fedora 27 or 28, the following behavior may be observed:
(gdb) info proc mappings
Mapped address spaces:
Start Addr End Addr Size Offset objfile
...
0x7ffff7839000 0x7ffff7a38000 0x1ff000 0x1b5000 /usr/lib64/libc-2.27.so
...
(gdb) x/4x 0x7ffff7839000
0x7ffff7839000: Cannot access memory at address 0x7ffff7839000
FYI, this section appears to be unrelocated vtable data. See
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168331.html for
a detailed analysis.
The important thing here is that GDB should be able to access this
address since it should be backed by the shared library. I.e. it
should do this:
(gdb) x/4x 0x7ffff7839000
0x7ffff7839000: 0x0007ddf0 0x00000000 0x0007dba0 0x00000000
Both of these cases are fixed with this commit.
In a nutshell, this commit opens a "binary" target BFD for each of the
files that are mentioned in an NT_FILE / .note.linuxcore.file note
section. It then uses these mappings instead of the file stratum
mappings that GDB has used in the past.
If this note section doesn't exist or is mangled for some reason, then
GDB will use the file stratum as before. Should this happen, then
we can expect both of the above problems to again be present.
See the code comments in the commit for other details.

Add new gdbarch method, read_core_file_mappings

reading file-backed mappings from a core file. It'll be used
for two purposes: 1) to construct a table of file-backed mappings

For Linux, I tried a different approach in which knowledge of the note
format was placed directly in corelow.c. This seemed okay at first;
it was only one note format and the note format was fairly simple.
After looking at FreeBSD's note/mapping reading code, I concluded
that it's best to leave architecture specific details for decoding
the note in (architecture specific) tdep files.
With regard to display of core file mappings, I experimented with
placing the mappings display code in corelow.c. It has access to the
file-backed mappings which were read in when the core file was loaded.
And, better, still common code could be used for all architectures.
But, again, the FreeBSD mapping code convinced me that this was not
the best approach since it has even more mapping info than Linux.
Display code which would work well for Linux will leave out mappings
as well as protection info for mappings.

Provide access to non SEC_HAS_CONTENTS core file sections
Consider the following program:
- - - mkmmapcore.c - - -
static char *buf;
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
buf = mmap (NULL, 8192, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
abort ();
}
- - - end mkmmapcore.c - - -
Compile it like this:
gcc -g -o mkmmapcore mkmmapcore.c
Now let's run it from GDB. I've already placed a breakpoint on the
line with the abort() call and have run to that breakpoint.

11 abort ();
(gdb) x/x buf

Note that we can examine the memory allocated via the call to mmap().
Now let's try debugging a core file created by running this program.
Depending on your system, in order to make a core file, you may have to
run the following as root (or using sudo):
echo core > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
It may also be necessary to do:
ulimit -c unlimited
I'm using Fedora 31. YMMV if you're using one of the BSDs or some other
(non-Linux) system.
This is what things look like when we debug the core file:

assumption that a debugger can find the contents in the

always have their contents dumped to the core file. */

here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-08/msg00047.html
This hack sets the size of certain BFD sections to 0, which
effectively causes GDB to ignore them. I think it's likely that the
bug described above existed even before this hack was added, but I
have no easy way to test this now.
The output from objdump -h shows the result of this hack:
25 load13
00000000 00007ffff7fcb000 0000000000000000 00013000 2**12
ALLOC
(The first field, after load13, shows the size of 0.)
Once the hack is removed, the output from objdump -h shows the correct
size:
25 load13
00002000 00007ffff7fcb000 0000000000000000 00013000 2**12
ALLOC
(This is a digression, but I think it's good that objdump will now show
the correct size.)
If we remove the hack from bfd/elf.c, but do nothing to GDB, we'll
see the following regression:
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: print coremaker_ro
The reason for this is that all sections which have the BFD flag
SEC_ALLOC set, but for which SEC_HAS_CONTENTS is not set no longer
have zero size. Some of these sections have data that can (and should)
be read from the executable. (Sections for which SEC_HAS_CONTENTS
is set should be read from the core file; sections which do not have
this flag set need to either be read from the executable or, failing
that, from the core file using whatever BFD decides is the best value
to present to the user - it uses zeros.)
At present, due to the way that the target strata are traversed when
attempting to access memory, the non-SEC_HAS_CONTENTS sections will be
read as zeroes from the process_stratum (which in this case is the
core file stratum) without first checking the file stratum, which is
where the data might actually be found.
What we should be doing is this:
- Attempt to access core file data for SEC_HAS_CONTENTS sections.
- Attempt to access executable file data if the above fails.
- Attempt to access core file data for non SEC_HAS_CONTENTS sections, if
both of the above fail.
This corresponds to the analysis of Daniel Jacobowitz back in 2007
when the hack was added to BFD:

section_table_xfer_memory: Replace section name with callback predicate
This patch is motivated by the need to be able to select sections
that section_table_xfer_memory_partial should consider for memory
transfers. I'll use this facility in the next patch in this series.
section_table_xfer_memory_partial() can currently be passed a section
name which may be used to make name-based selections. This is similar
to what I want to do, except that I want to be able to consider
section flags instead of the name.
I'm replacing the section name parameter with a predicate that,
when passed a pointer to a target_section struct, will return
true if that section should be further considered, or false which
indicates that it shouldn't.
I've converted the one existing use where a non-NULL section
name is passed to section_table_xfer_memory_partial(). Instead
of passing the section name, it now looks like this:
auto match_cb = [=] (const struct target_section *s)
{
return (strcmp (section_name, s->the_bfd_section->name) == 0);
};
return section_table_xfer_memory_partial (readbuf, writebuf,
memaddr, len, xfered_len,
table->sections,
table->sections_end,
match_cb);
The other callers all passed NULL; they've been simplified somewhat

Adjust corefile.exp test to show regression after bfd hack removal
In his review of my BZ 25631 patch series, Pedro was unable to
reproduce the regression which should occur after patch #1, "Remove
hack for GDB which sets the section size to 0", is applied.
Pedro was using an ld version older than 2.30. Version 2.30
introduced the linker option -z separate-code. Here's what the man
page has to say about it:
Create separate code "PT_LOAD" segment header in the object. This
specifies a memory segment that should contain only instructions
and must be in wholly disjoint pages from any other data.
In ld version 2.31, use of separate-code became the default for
Linux/x86. So, really, 2.31 or later is required in order to see the
regression that occurs in recent Linux distributions when only the
bfd hack removal patch is applied.
For the test case in question, use of the separate-code linker option
means that the global variable "coremaker_ro" ends up in a separate
load segment (though potentially with other read-only data). The
upshot of this is that when only patch #1 is applied, GDB won't be
able to correctly access coremaker_ro. The reason for this is due
to the fact that this section will now have a non-zero size, but
will not have contents from the core file to find this data.
So GDB will ask BFD for the contents and BFD will respond with
zeroes for anything from those sections. GDB should instead be
looking in the executable for this data. Failing that, it can
then ask BFD for a reasonable value. This is what a later patch
in this series does.
When using ld versions earlier than 2.31 (or 2.30 w/ the
-z separate-code option explicitly provided to the linker), there is
the possibility that coremaker_ro ends up being placed near other data
which is recorded in the core file. That means that the correct value
will end up in the core file, simply because it resides on a page that
the kernel chooses to put in the core file. This is why Pedro wasn't
able to reproduce the regression that should occur after fixing the
BFD hack.
This patch places a big chunk of memory, two pages worth on x86, in
front of "coremaker_ro" to attempt to force it onto another page
without requiring use of that new-fangled linker switch.
Speaking of which, I considered changing the test to use
-z separate-code, but this won't work because it didn't
exist prior to version 2.30. The linker would probably complain
of an unrecognized switch. Also, it likely won't be available in
other linkers not based on current binutils. I.e. it probably won't
work in FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc.
To make this more concrete, this is what *should* happen when
attempting to access coremaker_ro when only patch #1 is applied:
Core was generated by `/mesquite2/sourceware-git/f28-coresegs/bld/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/coref'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
#0 0x00007f68205deefb in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
(gdb) p coremaker_ro
$1 = 0
Note that this result is wrong; 201 should have been printed instead.
But that's the point of the rest of the patch series.
However, without this commit, or when using an old Linux distro with
a pre-2.31 ld, this is what you might see instead:
Core was generated by `/mesquite2/sourceware-git/f28-coresegs/bld/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/coref'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
#0 0x00007f63dd658efb in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6
(gdb) p coremaker_ro
$1 = 201
I.e. it prints the right answer, which sort of makes it seem like the
rest of the series isn't required.
Now, back to the patch itself... what should be the size of the memory
chunk placed before coremaker_ro?
It needs to be at least as big as the page size (PAGE_SIZE) from
the kernel. For x86 and several other architectures this value is
4096. I used MAPSIZE which is defined to be 8192 in coremaker.c.
So it's twice as big as what's currently needed for most Linux
architectures. The constant PAGE_SIZE is available from <sys/user.h>,
but this isn't portable either. In the end, it seemed simpler to
just pick a value and hope that it's big enough. (Running a separate
program which finds the page size via sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) and then
passes it to the compilation via a -D switch seemed like overkill
for a case which is rendered moot by recent linker versions.)

Remove hack for GDB which sets the section size to 0
This commit removes a hack for GDB which was introduced in 2007.
See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-08/msg00044.html
That hack mostly allowed GDB's handling of core files to continue to
work without any changes to GDB.
The problem with setting the section size to zero is that GDB won't
know how big that section is/was. Often, this doesn't matter because
the data in question are found in the exec file. But it can happen
that the section describes memory that had been allocated, but never
written to. In this instance, the contents of that memory region are
not written to the core file. Also, since the region in question was
dynamically allocated, it won't appear in the exec file. We don't
want these regions to appear as inaccessible to GDB (since they *were*
accessible when the process was live), so it's important that GDB know
the size of the region.
I've made changes to GDB which correctly handles this case. When
attempting to access memory, GDB will first consider core file data
for which both SEC_ALLOC and SEC_HAS_CONTENTS is set. Next, if that
fails, GDB will attempt to find the data in the exec file. Finally,
if that also fails, GDB will attempt to access memory in the sections
which are flagged as SEC_ALLOC, but not SEC_HAS_CONTENTS.

binutils, testsuite: allow compilation before doing run_dump_test
The CTF assembler emitted by GCC has architecture-dependent pseudos in
it, and is (obviously) tightly tied to a particular set of C source
files with specific types in them. The CTF tests do run_dump_test on
some candidate input, link it using the run_dump_test ld machinery, and
compare objdump --ctf output. To avoid skew, we'd like to be able
to easily regenerate the .s being scanned so that the .c doesn't get
out of sync with it, but since GCC emits arch-dependent pseudos, we
are forced to hand-hack the output every time (quite severely on some
arches, like x86-32 and -64, where every single pseudo used is not only
arch-dependent but undocumented).
To avoid this, teach run_dump_test how to optionally compile things

ld: new options --ctf-variables and --ctf-share-types
libctf recently changed to make it possible to not emit the CTF
variables section. Make this the default for ld: the variables section
is a simple name -> type mapping, and the names can be quite voluminous.
Nothing in the variables section appears in the symbol table, by
definition, so GDB cannot make use of them: special-purpose projects
that implement their own analogues of symbol table lookup can do so, but
they'll need to tell the linker to emit the variables section after all.
The new --ctf-variables option does this.
The --ctf-share-types option (valid values "share-duplicated" and
"share-unconflicted") allow the caller to specify the CTF link mode.
Most users will want share-duplicated, since it allows for more
convenient debugging: but very large projects composed of many decoupled
components may want to use share-unconflicted mode, which places types
that appear in only one TU into per-TU dicts. (They may also want to
relink the CTF using the ctf_link API and cu-mapping, to make their
"components" larger than a single TU. Right now the linker does not
expose the CU-mapping machinery. Perhaps it should in future to make
this use case easier.)
For now, giving the linker the ability to emit share-duplicated CTF lets
us add testcases for that mode to the testsuite.

libctf, link: tie in the deduplicating linker
This fairly intricate commit connects up the CTF linker machinery (which
operates in terms of ctf_archive_t's on ctf_link_inputs ->
ctf_link_outputs) to the deduplicator (which operates in terms of arrays
of ctf_file_t's, all the archives exploded).
The nondeduplicating linker is retained, but is not called unless the
CTF_LINK_NONDEDUP flag is passed in (which ld never does), or the
environment variable LD_NO_CTF_DEDUP is set. Eventually, once we have
confidence in the much-more-complex deduplicating linker, I hope the
nondeduplicating linker can be removed.
In brief, what this does is traverses each input archive in
ctf_link_inputs, opening every member (if not already open) and tying
child dicts to their parents, shoving them into an array and
constructing a corresponding parents array that tells the deduplicator
which dict is the parent of which child. We then call ctf_dedup and
ctf_dedup_emit with that array of inputs, taking the outputs that result
and putting them into ctf_link_outputs where the rest of the CTF linker
expects to find them, then linking in the variables just as is done by
the nondeduplicating linker.
It also implements much of the CU-mapping side of things. The problem
CU-mapping introduces is that if you map many input CUs into one output,
this is saying that you want many translation units to produce at most
one child dict if conflicting types are found in any of them. This
means you can suddenly have multiple distinct types with the same name
in the same dict, which libctf cannot really represent because it's not
something you can do with C translation units.
The deduplicator machinery already committed does as best it can with
these, hiding types with conflicting names rather than making child
dicts out of them: but we still need to call it. This is done similarly
to the main link, taking the inputs (one CU output at a time),
deduplicating them, taking the output and making it an input to the
final link. Two (significant) optimizations are done: we share atoms
tables between all these links and the final link (so e.g. all type hash
values are shared, all decorated type names, etc); and any CU-mapped
links with only one input (and no child dicts) doesn't need to do
anything other than renaming the CU: the CU-mapped link phase can be
skipped for it. Put together, large CU-mapped links can save 50% of
their memory usage and about as much time (and the memory usage for
CU-mapped links is significant, because all those output CUs have to
have all their types stored in memory all at once).

different value! So we end up concluding all variables are conflicting,
bloating up output possibly quite a lot (variables aren't big in and of

libctf, link: redo cu-mapping handling
Now a bunch of stuff that doesn't apply to ld or any normal use of
libctf, piled into one commit so that it's easier to ignore.
The cu-mapping machinery associates incoming compilation unit names with
outgoing names of CTF dictionaries that should correspond to them, for
non-gdb CTF consumers that would like to group multiple TUs into a
single child dict if conflicting types are found in it (the existing use
case is one kernel module, one child CTF dict, even if the kernel module
is composed of multiple CUs).
The upcoming deduplicator needs to track not only the mapping from
incoming CU name to outgoing dict name, but the inverse mapping from
outgoing dict name to incoming CU name, so it can work over every CTF
dict we might see in the output and link into it.
So rejig the ctf-link machinery to do that. Simultaneously (because
they are closely associated and were written at the same time), we add a
new CTF_LINK_EMPTY_CU_MAPPINGS flag to ctf_link, which tells the
ctf_link machinery to create empty child dicts for each outgoing CU
mapping even if no CUs that correspond to it exist in the link. This is
a bit (OK, quite a lot) of a waste of space, but some existing consumers
require it. (Nobody else should use it.)
Its value is not consecutive with existing CTF_LINK flag values because
we're about to add more flags that are conceptually closer to the
existing ones than this one is.

libctf, link: add lazy linking: clean up input members: err/warn cleanup
This rather large and intertwined pile of changes does three things:
First, it transitions from dprintf to ctf_err_warn for things the user might
care about: this one file is the major impetus for the ctf_err_warn
infrastructure, because things like file names are crucial in linker
error messages, and errno values are utterly incapable of
communicating them
Second, it stabilizes the ctf_link APIs: you can now call
ctf_link_add_ctf without a CTF argument (only a NAME), to lazily
ctf_open the file with the given NAME when needed, and close it as soon
as possible, to save memory. This is not an API change because a null
CTF argument was prohibited before now.
Since getting CTF directly from files uses ctf_open, passing in only a
NAME requires use of libctf, not libctf-nobfd. The linker's behaviour
is unchanged, as it still passes in a ctf_archive_t as before.
This also let us fix a leak: we were opening ctf_archives and their
containing ctf_files, then only closing the files and leaving the
archives open.
Third, this commit restructures the ctf_link_in_member argument used by
the CTF linking machinery and adjusts its users accordingly.
We drop two members:
- arcname, which is difficult to construct and then only used in error
messages (that were only dprintf()ed, so never seen!)
- share_mode, since we store the flags passed to ctf_link (including the
share mode) in a new ctf_file_t.ctf_link_flags to help dedup get hold
of it
We rename others whose existing names were fairly dreadful:
- done_main_member -> done_parent, using consistent terminology for .ctf
as the parent of all archive members
- main_input_fp -> in_fp_parent, likewise
- file_name -> in_file_name, likewise
We add one new member, cu_mapped.
Finally, we move the various frees of things like mapping table data to
the top-level ctf_link, since deduplicating links will want to do that
too.

libctf: sort out potential refcount loops
When you link TUs that contain conflicting types together, the resulting
CTF section is an archive containing many CTF dicts. These dicts appear
in ctf_link_outputs of the shared dict, with each ctf_import'ing that
shared dict. ctf_importing a dict bumps its refcount to stop it going
away while it's in use -- but if the shared dict (whose refcount is
bumped) has the child dict (doing the bumping) in its ctf_link_outputs,
we have a refcount loop, since the child dict only un-ctf_imports and
drops the parent's refcount when it is freed, but the child is only
freed when the parent's refcount falls to zero.
(In the future, this will be able to go wrong on the inputs too, when an
ld -r'ed deduplicated output with conflicts is relinked. Right now this
cannot happen because we don't ctf_import such dicts at all. This will
be fixed in a later commit in this series.)
Fix this by introducing an internal-use-only ctf_import_unref function
that imports a parent dict *witthout* bumping the parent's refcount, and
using it when we create per-CU outputs. This function is only safe to
use if you know the parent cannot go away while the child exists: but if
the parent *owns* the child, as here, this is necessarily true.
Record in the ctf_file_t whether a parent was imported via ctf_import or
ctf_import_unref, so that if you do another ctf_import later on (or a
ctf_import_unref) it can decide whether to drop the refcount of the
existing parent being replaced depending on which function you used to
import that one. Adjust ctf_serialize so that rather than doing a
ctf_import (which is wrong if the original import was
ctf_import_unref'fed), we just copy the parent field and refcount over
and forcibly flip the unref flag on on the old copy we are going to
discard.
ctf_file_close also needs a bit of tweaking to only close the parent if
it was not imported with ctf_import_unref: while we're at it, guard
against repeated closes with a refcount of zero and stop them causing
double-frees, even if destruction of things freed *inside*
ctf_file_close cause such recursion.

libctf, dump: fix slice dumping
Now that we can have slices of anything terminating in an int, we must
dump things accordingly, or slices of typedefs appear as
c5b: __u8 -> 16c: __u8 -> 78: short unsigned int (size 0x2)
which is unhelpful. If things *are* printed as slices, the name is
missing:
a15: [slice 0x8:0x4]-> 16c: __u8 -> 78: short unsigned int (size 0x2)
And struct members give no clue they're a slice at all, which is a shame
since bitfields are the major use of this type kind:
[0x8] (ID 0xa15) (kind 10) __u8 dst_reg
Fix things so that everything slicelike or integral gets its encoding
printed, and everything with a name gets the name printed:
a15: __u8 [slice 0x8:0x4] (size 0x1) -> 1ff: __u8 (size 0x1) -> 37: unsigned char [0x0:0x8] (size 0x1)
[0x0] (ID 0xa15) (kind 10) __u8:4 (aligned at 0x1, format 0x2, offset:bits 0x8:0x4)
Bitfield struct members get a technically redundant but much
easier-to-understand dumping now:
[0x0] (ID 0x80000005) (kind 6) struct bpf_insn (aligned at 0x1)
[0x0] (ID 0x222) (kind 10) __u8 code (aligned at 0x1)
[0x8] (ID 0x1e9e) (kind 10) __u8 dst_reg:4 (aligned at 0x1, format 0x2, offset:bits 0x8:0x4)
[0xc] (ID 0x1e46) (kind 10) __u8 src_reg:4 (aligned at 0x1, format 0x2, offset:bits 0xc:0x4)
[0x10] (ID 0xf35) (kind 10) __s16 off (aligned at 0x2)
[0x20] (ID 0x1718) (kind 10) __s32 imm (aligned at 0x4)
This also fixes one place where a failure to format a type would be
erroneously considered an out-of-memory condition.
libctf/
* ctf-dump.c (ctf_is_slice): Delete, unnecessary.
(ctf_dump_format_type): improve slice formatting. Always print
the type size, even of slices.
(ctf_dump_member): Print slices (-> bitfields) differently from
non-slices. Failure to format a type is not an OOM.

libctf, dump: migrate towards dumping errors rather than truncation
If we get an error emitting a single type, variable, or label, right now
we emit the error into the ctf_dprintf stream and propagate the error
all the way up the stack, causing the entire output to be silently
truncated (unless libctf debugging is on).
Instead, emit an error and keep going. (This makes sense for this use
case: if you're dumping types and a type is corrupted, you want to
know!)
Not all instances of this are fixed in this commit, only ones associated
with type formatting: more fixes will come.
libctf/
* ctf-dump.c (ctf_dump_format_type): Emit a warning.
(ctf_dump_label): Swallow errors from ctf_dump_format_type.
(ctf_dump_objts): Likewise.
(ctf_dump_var): Likewise.
(ctf_dump_type): Do not emit a duplicate message. Move to
ctf_err_warning, and swallow all errors.

libctf, decl: avoid leaks of the formatted string on error
ctf_decl_sprintf builds up a formatted string in the ctf_decl_t's
cd_buf, but then on error this is hardly ever freed: we assume that
ctf_decl_fini frees it, but it leaks it instead.
Make it free it like any decent ADT should.
libctf/
* ctf-decl.c (ctf_decl_fini): Free the cd_buf.
(ctf_decl_buf): Once it escapes, don't try to free it later.
