Continuing the removal of 'current_program_space->core_bfd ()' from
GDB, this commit updates the gdbarch method 'gdbarch_core_thread_name'
to take the core file BFD as a reference parameter. For now this just
moves the 'current_program_space->core_bfd ()' calls up the program
stack into core_target::thread_name. In the future I plan to move the
core file BFD object out of the program_space and into the
core_target, at which point these new global accesses can also be
removed.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.

This commit removes many places in fbsd-tdep.c where we access the
current core file via current_program_space, and replaces these
accesses with a function argument that is passed in.
There are still two uses of 'current_program_space->core_bfd ()' in
the file, these will be addressed in future work (not in this series
though).

Another patch that aims to remove 'current_program_space->core_bfd ()'
from GDB. This time I'm passing the core file BFD as an argument to
the gdbarch method gdbarch_core_xfer_siginfo.
In corelow.c the core file is being passed, this does introduce a new
instance of 'current_program_space->core_bfd ()', but this is OK. My
long term plan is to move the core bfd into core_target, in which case
the call to gdbarch_core_xfer_siginfo will have access to the core bfd
as a member variable.
For now though, this patch moves the accesses via global state up the
call stack, and consolidates the two calls from fbsd-tdep.c and
linux-tdep.c into the one call in corelow.c.

This commit changes the signature of the gdbarch_core_info_proc method
so that it takes a 'struct bfd *' as an extra argument. This argument
is used to pass through the core file bfd pointer.
Now, in corelow.c, when calling gdbarch_core_info_proc, we can pass
through current_program_space->core_bfd() as the argument. Within the
implementations, (Linux and FreeBSD) we can use this argument rather
than having to access the core file through current_program_space.
This reduces the use of global state, which I think is a good thing.

This commit implements the gdbarch_core_parse_exec_context method for
FreeBSD.
This is much simpler than for Linux. On FreeBSD, at least the
version (13.x) that I have installer, there are additional entries in
the auxv vector that point directly to the argument and environment
vectors, this makes it trivial to find this information.
If these extra auxv entries are not available on earlier FreeBSD, then
that's fine. The fallback behaviour will be for GDB to act as it
always has up to this point, you'll just not get the extra
functionality.
Other differences compared to Linux are that FreeBSD has
AT_FREEBSD_EXECPATH instead of AT_EXECFN, the AT_FREEBSD_EXECPATH is
the full path to the executable. On Linux AT_EXECFN is the command
the user typed, so this can be a relative path.
This difference is handy as on FreeBSD we don't parse the mapped files
from the core file (are they even available?). So having the EXECPATH
means we can use that as the absolute path to the executable.
However, if the user ran a symlink then AT_FREEBSD_EXECPATH will be
the absolute path to the symlink, not to the underlying file. This is
probably a good thing, but it does mean there is one case we test on
Linux that fails on FreeBSD.
On Linux if we create a symlink to an executable, then run the symlink
and generate a corefile. Now delete the symlink and load the core
file. On Linux GDB will still find (and open) the original
executable. This is because we use the mapped file information to
find the absolute path to the executable, and the mapped file
information only stores the real file names, not symlink names.
This is a total edge case, I only added the deleted symlink test
originally because I could see that this would work on Linux. Though
it is neat that Linux finds this, I don't feel too bad that this fails
on FreeBSD.
Other than this, everything seems to work on x86-64 FreeBSD (13.4)
which is all I have setup right now. I don't see why other
architectures wouldn't work too, but I haven't tested them.
Some of the gdb and testsuite files double include some headers. While
all headers use include guards, it helps a bit keeping the code base
tidy.
No functional change.

- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright

- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If

updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as

When creating a core file from within GDB we include a NT_GDB_TDESC
that includes the target description of the architecture in use.
For architectures with dynamic architectures (e.g. AArch64 with
sve/sme) the original architecture, calculated from the original
target description, might not match the per-thread architecture.
In the general case, where each thread has a different architecture,
then we really need a separate NT_GDB_TDESC for each thread, however,
there's currently no way to read in multiple NT_GDB_TDESC.
This commit is a step towards per-thread NT_GDB_TDESC. In this commit
I have updated the function that writes the NT_GDB_TDESC to accept a
gdbarch (rather than calling target_gdbarch() to find a gdbarch), and
I now pass in the gdbarch of the signalled thread.
In many cases (though NOT all) targets with dynamic architectures
really only use a single architecture, even when there are multiple
threads, so in the common case, this should ensure that GDB emits an
architecture that is more likely to be correct.
Additional work will be needed in order to support corefiles with
truly per-thread architectures, but that will need to be done in the
future.

* fbsd-tdep.c (fbsd_make_note_desc): Use std::copy instead

This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.
Currently, every internal_error call must be passed __FILE__/__LINE__
explicitly, like:
internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, "foo %d", var);
The need to pass in explicit __FILE__/__LINE__ is there probably
because the function predates widespread and portable variadic macros
availability. We can use variadic macros nowadays, and in fact, we
already use them in several places, including the related
gdb_assert_not_reached.
So this patch renames the internal_error function to something else,
and then reimplements internal_error as a variadic macro that expands
__FILE__/__LINE__ itself.
The result is that we now should call internal_error like so:
internal_error ("foo %d", var);
Likewise for internal_warning.
The patch adjusts all calls sites. 99% of the adjustments were done
with a perl/sed script.
The non-mechanical changes are in gdbsupport/errors.h,
gdbsupport/gdb_assert.h, and gdb/gdbarch.py.

There's a flaw in the interaction of the auxv caching and the fact that
target_auxv_search allows reading auxv from an arbitrary target_ops
(passed in as a parameter). This has consequences as explained in this
thread:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20220719144542.1478037-1-luis.machado@arm.com/
In summary, when loading an AArch64 core file with MTE support by
passing the executable and core file names directly to GDB, we see the
MTE info:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q aarch64-mte-gcore aarch64-mte-gcore.core
...
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
Memory tag violation while accessing address 0x0000ffff8ef5e000
Allocation tag 0x1
Logical tag 0x0.
#0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? ()
(gdb)
But if we do it as two separate commands (file and core) we don't:
$ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q -ex "file aarch64-mte-gcore" -ex "core aarch64-mte-gcore.core"
...
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? ()
(gdb)
The problem with the latter is that auxv data gets improperly cached
between the two commands. When executing the file command, auxv gets
first queried here, when loading the executable:

Here, target_auxv_search is called on the inferior's target stack. The
target stack only contains the exec target, so the query returns empty
auxv data. This gets cached for that inferior in `auxv_inferior_data`.
In its constructor (before it is pushed to the inferior's target stack),
the core_target needs to identify the right target description from the
core, and for that asks the gdbarch to read a target description from
the core file. Because some implementations of
gdbarch_core_read_description (such as AArch64's) need to read auxv data
from the core in order to determine the right target description, the
core_target passes a pointer to itself, allowing implementations to call
target_auxv_search it. However, because we have previously cached
(empty) auxv data for that inferior, target_auxv_search searched that
cached (empty) auxv data, not auxv data read from the core. Remember
that this data was obtained by reading auxv on the inferior's target
stack, which only contained an exec target.
The problem I see is that while target_auxv_search offers the
flexibility of reading from an arbitrary (passed as an argument) target,
the caching doesn't do the distinction of which target is being queried,
and where the cached data came from. So, you could read auxv from a
target A, it gets cached, then you try to read auxv from a target B, and
it returns the cached data from target A. That sounds wrong. In our
case, we expect to read different auxv data from the core target than
what we have read from the target stack earlier, so it doesn't make
sense to hit the cache in this case.
To fix this, I propose splitting the code paths that read auxv data from
an inferior's target stack and those that read from a passed-in target.
The code path that reads from the target stack will keep caching,
whereas the one that reads from a passed-in target won't. And since,
searching in auxv data is independent from where this data came from,
split the "read" part from the "search" part.
From what I understand, auxv caching was introduced mostly to reduce
latency on remote connections, when doing many queries. With the change
I propose, only the queries done while constructing the core_target
end up not using cached auxv data. This is fine, because there are just
a handful of queries max, done at this point, and reading core files is
local.
The changes to auxv functions are:
- Introduce 2 target_read_auxv functions. One reads from an explicit
target_ops and doesn't do caching (to be used in
gdbarch_core_read_description context). The other takes no argument,
reads from the current inferior's target stack (it looks just like a
standard target function wrapper) and does caching.
The first target_read_auxv actually replaces get_auxv_inferior_data,
since it became a trivial wrapper around it.
- Change the existing target_auxv_search to not read auxv data from the
target, but to accept it as a parameter (a gdb::byte_vector). This
function doesn't care where the data came from, it just searches in
it. It still needs to take a target_ops and gdbarch to know how to
parse auxv entries.
- Add a convenience target_auxv_search overload that reads auxv
data from the inferior's target stack and searches in it. This
overload is useful to replace the exist target_auxv_search calls that
passed the `current_inferior ()->top_target ()` target and keep the
call sites short.
- Modify parse_auxv to accept a target_ops and gdbarch to use for
parsing entries. Not strictly related to the rest of this change,
but it seems like a good change in the context.
Changes in architecture-specific files (tdep and nat):
- In linux-tdep, linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 get split in two,
similar to target_auxv_search. One version receives auxv data,
target and arch as parameters. The other gets everything from the
current inferior. The latter is for convenience, to avoid making
call sites too ugly.
- Call sites of linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 are adjusted to
use either of the new versions. The call sites in
gdbarch_core_read_description context explicitly read auxv data from
the passed-in target and call the linux_get_hwcap{,2} function with
parameters. Other call sites use the versions without parameters.
- Same idea for arm_fbsd_read_description_auxv.
- Call sites of target_auxv_search that passed
`current_inferior ()->top_target ()` are changed to use the
target_auxv_search overload that works in the current inferior.

gdbarch implements its own registry-like approach. This patch changes
it to instead use registry.h. It's a rather large patch but largely
uninteresting -- it's mostly a straightforward conversion from the old
approach to the new one.
The main benefit of this change is that it introduces type safety to
the gdbarch registry. It also removes a bunch of code.
One possible drawback is that, previously, the gdbarch registry
differentiated between pre- and post-initialization setup. This
doesn't seem very important to me, though.
This rewrites registry.h, removing all the macros and replacing it
with relatively ordinary template classes. The result is less code
than the previous setup. It replaces large macros with a relatively
straightforward C++ class, and now manages its own cleanup.
The existing type-safe "key" class is replaced with the equivalent
template class. This approach ended up requiring relatively few
changes to the users of the registry code in gdb -- code using the key
system just required a small change to the key's declaration.
All existing users of the old C-like API are now converted to use the
type-safe API. This mostly involved changing explicit deletion
functions to be an operator() in a deleter class.
The old "save/free" two-phase process is removed, and replaced with a
single "free" phase. No existing code used both phases.
The old "free" callbacks took a parameter for the enclosing container
object. However, this wasn't truly needed and is removed here as
well.
Now that filtered and unfiltered output can be treated identically, we
can unify the printf family of functions. This is done under the name
"gdb_printf". Most of this patch was written by script.
FreeBSD recently added a real vDSO in its shared page for the amd64
architecture. The vDSO is mapped at the address given by the
AT_KPRELOAD ELF auxiliary vector entry. To find the end of the
mapping range, parse the list of virtual map entries used by 'info
proc mappings' either from the NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP core dump note, or
via the kinfo_getvmmap function for native targets (fetched from the
native target as the TARGET_OBJECT_FREEBSD_VMMAP object).
This silences warnings on recent FreeBSD/amd64 kernels due to not
finding symbols for the vdso:
warning: Could not load shared library symbols for [vdso].

This commit brings all the changes made by running gdb/copyright.py
as per GDB's Start of New Year Procedure.
For the avoidance of doubt, all changes in this commits were
performed by the script.
FreeBSD's kernel has recently added two new ELF auxiliary vector
entries. AT_FXRNG points to a root seed version for the kernel's
PRNG. Userland can use this to reseed a userland PRNG after the
kernel's PRNG has reseeded. AT_KPRELOAD is the base address of a
kernel-provided vDSO.
This change displays the proper name and description of these entries
in 'info auxv'.
include/ChangeLog:
* elf/common.h (AT_FREEBSD_FXRNG, AT_FREEBSD_KPRELOAD): Define.
I think it would make sense for extract_integer, extract_signed_integer
and extract_unsigned_integer to take an array_view. This way, when we
extract an integer, we can validate that we don't overflow the buffer
passed by the caller (e.g. ask to extract a 4-byte integer but pass a
2-byte buffer).
- Change extract_integer to take an array_view
- Add overloads of extract_signed_integer and extract_unsigned_integer
that take array_views. Keep the existing versions so we don't
need to change all callers, but make them call the array_view
versions.
This shortens some places like:
result = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents (result_val).data (),
TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (result_val)),
byte_order);
into
result = extract_unsigned_integer (value_contents (result_val), byte_order);
value_contents returns an array view that is of length
`TYPE_LENGTH (value_type (result_val))` already, so the length is
implicitly communicated through the array view.

With the current code, both a NULL pointer and an empty string can mean
"no arguments". We don't need this distinction. Changing to a string
has the advantage that there is now a single state for that (an empty
string), which makes the code a bit simpler in my opinion.

Add args/set_args to the inferior class, remove the set_inferior_args
and get_inferior_args functions, that would just be wrappers around
them.

A following patch will want to take some action when a pending wait
status is set on or removed from a thread. Add a getter and a setter on
thread_info for the pending waitstatus, so that we can add some code in
the setter later.
The thing is, the pending wait status field is in the
thread_suspend_state, along with other fields that we need to backup
before and restore after the thread does an inferior function call.
Therefore, make the thread_suspend_state member private
(thread_info::suspend becomes thread_info::m_suspend), and add getters /
setters for all of its fields:
- pending wait status
- stop signal
- stop reason
- stop pc
For the pending wait status, add the additional has_pending_waitstatus
and clear_pending_waitstatus methods.
I think this makes the thread_info interface a bit nicer, because we
now access the fields as:
thread->stop_pc ()
rather than
thread->suspend.stop_pc
The stop_pc field being in the `suspend` structure is an implementation
detail of thread_info that callers don't need to be aware of.
For the backup / restore of the thread_suspend_state structure, add
save_suspend_to and restore_suspend_from methods. You might wonder why
`save_suspend_to`, as opposed to a simple getter like
thread_suspend_state &suspend ();
I want to make it clear that this is to be used only for backing up and
restoring the suspend state, _not_ to access fields like:
thread->suspend ()->stop_pc
Adding some getters / setters allows adding some assertions. I find
that this helps understand how things are supposed to work. Add:
- When getting the pending status (pending_waitstatus method), ensure
that there is a pending status.
- When setting a pending status (set_pending_waitstatus method), ensure
there is no pending status.
There is one case I found where this wasn't true - in
remote_target::process_initial_stop_replies - which needed adjustments
to respect that contract. I think it's because
process_initial_stop_replies is kind of (ab)using the
thread_info::suspend::waitstatus to store some statuses temporarily, for
its internal use (statuses it doesn't intent on leaving pending).
process_initial_stop_replies pulls out stop replies received during the
initial connection using target_wait. It always stores the received
event in `evthread->suspend.waitstatus`. But it only sets
waitstatus_pending_p, if it deems the event interesting enough to leave
pending, to be reported to the core:
if (ws.kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
|| ws.value.sig != GDB_SIGNAL_0)
evthread->suspend.waitstatus_pending_p = 1;
It later uses this flag a bit below, to choose which thread to make the
"selected" one:
if (selected == NULL
&& thread->suspend.waitstatus_pending_p)
selected = thread;
And ultimately that's used if the user-visible mode is all-stop, so that
we print the stop for that interesting thread:
/* In all-stop, we only print the status of one thread, and leave
others with their status pending. */
if (!non_stop)
{
thread_info *thread = selected;
if (thread == NULL)
thread = lowest_stopped;
if (thread == NULL)
thread = first;
print_one_stopped_thread (thread);
}
But in any case (all-stop or non-stop), print_one_stopped_thread needs
to access the waitstatus value of these threads that don't have a
pending waitstatus (those that had TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED +
GDB_SIGNAL_0). This doesn't work with the assertions I've
put.
So, change the code to only set the thread's wait status if it is an
interesting one that we are going to leave pending. If the thread
stopped due to a non-interesting event (TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED +
GDB_SIGNAL_0), don't store it. Adjust print_one_stopped_thread to
understand that if a thread has no pending waitstatus, it's because it
stopped with TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED + GDB_SIGNAL_0.
The call to set_last_target_status also uses the pending waitstatus.
However, given that the pending waitstatus for the thread may have been
cleared in print_one_stopped_thread (and that there might not even be a
pending waitstatus in the first place, as explained above), it is no
longer possible to do it at this point. To fix that, move the call to
set_last_target_status in print_one_stopped_thread. I think this will
preserve the existing behavior, because set_last_target_status is
currently using the current thread's wait status. And the current
thread is the last one for which print_one_stopped_thread is called. So
by calling set_last_target_status in print_one_stopped_thread, we'll get
the same result. set_last_target_status will possibly be called
multiple times, but only the last call will matter. It just means
possibly more calls to set_last_target_status, but those are cheap.

The current_top_target function is a hidden dependency on the current
inferior. Since I'd like to slowly move towards reducing our dependency
on the global current state, remove this function and make callers use
current_inferior ()->top_target ()
There is no expected change in behavior, but this one step towards
making those callers use the inferior from their context, rather than
refer to the global current inferior.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target.h (current_top_target): Remove, make callers use the
current inferior instead.
* target.c (current_top_target): Remove.

When a core file is created from within GDB add the target description
into a note within the core file.
When loading a core file, if the target description note is present
then load the target description from the core file.
The benefit of this is that we can be sure that, when analysing the
core file within GDB, that we are using the exact same target
description as was in use at the time the core file was created.
GDB already supports a mechanism for figuring out the target
description from a given corefile; gdbarch_core_read_description.
This new mechanism (GDB adding the target description) is not going to
replace the old mechanism. Core files generated outside of GDB will
not include a target description, and so GDB still needs to be able to
figure out a target description for these files.
My primary motivation for adding this feature is that, in a future
commit, I will be adding support for bare metal core dumps on some
targets. For RISC-V specifically, I want to be able to dump all the
available control status registers. As different targets will present
different sets of register in their target description, including
registers that are possibly not otherwise known to GDB I wanted a way
to capture these registers in the core dump.
I therefore need a mechanism to write out an arbitrary set of
registers, and to then derive a target description from this arbitrary
set when later loading the core file. The obvious approach (I think)
is to just reuse the target description.
Once I'd decided to add support for writing out the target description
I could either choose to make this RISC-V only, or make it generic. I
figure that having the target description in the core file doesn't
hurt, and _might_ be helpful. So that's how I got here, general
support for including the target description in GDB generated core
files.
In previous versions of this patch I added the target description from
generic code (in gcore.c). However, doing this creates a dependency
between GDB's common code and bfd ELF support. As ELF support in gdb
is optional (for example the target x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0 does not
include ELF support) then having gcore.c require ELF support would
break the GDB build in some cases.
Instead, in this version of the patch, writing the target description
note is done from each specific targets make notes function. Each of
these now calls a common function in gcore-elf.c (which is only linked
in when bfd has ELF support). And so only targets that are ELF based
will call the new function and we can therefore avoid an unconditional
dependency on ELF support.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* corelow.c: Add 'xml-tdesc.h' include.
(core_target::read_description): Load the target description from
the core file when possible.
* fbsd-tdep.c (fbsd_make_corefile_notes): Add target description
note.
* gcore-elf.c: Add 'gdbsupport/tdesc.h' include.
(gcore_elf_make_tdesc_note): New function.

* linux-tdep.c (linux_make_corefile_notes): Add target description
note.
While reviewing the Linux and FreeBSD core dumping code within GDB for
another patch series, I noticed that the code that collects the
registers for each thread and writes these into ELF note format is
basically identical between Linux and FreeBSD.
This commit merges this code and moves it into a new file gcore-elf.c.
The function find_signalled_thread is moved from linux-tdep.c to
gcore.c despite not being shared. A later commit will make use of
this function.
I did merge, and then revert a previous version of this patch (commit
82a1fd3a49 for the original patch and 03642b7189 for the revert).
The problem with the original patch is that it introduced a
unconditional dependency between GDB and some ELF specific functions
in the BFD library, e.g. elfcore_write_prstatus and
elfcore_write_register_note. It was pointed out in this mailing list
post:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-February/175750.html
that this change was breaking any build of GDB for non-ELF targets.
To confirm this breakage, and to test this new version of GDB I
configured and built for the target x86_64-apple-darwin20.3.0.
Where the previous version of this patch placed all of the common code
into gcore.c, which is included in all builds of GDB, this new patch
only places non-ELF specific generic code (i.e. find_signalled_thread)
into gcore.c, the ELF specific code is put into the new gcore-elf.c
file, which is only included in GDB if BFD has ELF support.
The contents of gcore-elf.c are referenced unconditionally from
linux-tdep.c and fbsd-tdep.c, this is fine, we previously always
assumed that these two targets required ELF support, and we continue
to make that assumption after this patch; nothing has changed there.
With my previous version of this patch the darwin target mentioned
above failed to build, but with the new version, the target builds
fine.
There are a couple of minor changes to the FreeBSD target after this
commit, but I believe that these are changes for the better:
(1) For FreeBSD we always used to record the thread-id in the core
file by using ptid_t.lwp (). In contrast the Linux code did this:
/* For remote targets the LWP may not be available, so use the TID. */
long lwp = ptid.lwp ();
if (lwp == 0)
lwp = ptid.tid ();
Both target now do this:
/* The LWP is often not available for bare metal target, in which case
use the tid instead. */
if (ptid.lwp_p ())
lwp = ptid.lwp ();
else
lwp = ptid.tid ();
Which is equivalent for Linux, but is a change for FreeBSD. I think
that all this means is that in some cases where GDB might have
previously recorded a thread-id of 0 for each thread, we might now get
something more useful.
(2) When collecting the registers for Linux we collected into a zero
initialised buffer. By contrast on FreeBSD the buffer is left
uninitialised. In the new code the buffer is always zero initialised.
I suspect once the registers are copied into the buffer there's
probably no gaps left so this makes no difference, but if it does then
using zeros rather than random bits of GDB's memory is probably a good
thing.
Otherwise, there should be no other user visible changes after this
commit.
Tested this on x86-64/GNU-Linux and x86-64/FreeBSD-12.2 with no
regressions.

This reverts commit 82a1fd3a49.
It was pointed out:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-February/175750.html
that commit 82a1fd3a49 caused GDB to have an unconditional
dependency on ELF specific parts of BFD. What this means is that if
GDB and BFD are built for a non-elf target then there will be
undefined symbol references within GDB.
The right solution isn't immediately obvious. So rather than rush a
fix in I'm reverting this commit for now, and will bring it back once
I have a good solution.
