Since commit 84da4a1ea0 ("gdbserver: refactor the definition and uses of
supply_regblock") there is no case where supply_regblock is passed a
nullptr for the BUF argument, and there is even a gdb_assert to make
sure of it.
Therefore remove that part of the documentation comment.
Commit 51e6b8cfd6 fixed a
regression for SVE/SME registers on gdb's side by using a <= comparison for
regcache's raw_compare assertion check. We seem to have failed to do the same
for gdbserver's raw_compare counterpart.
With the code as it is, I'm seeing a lot of crashes for gdbserver on a machine
with SVE enabled. For instance, with the following invocation:

The register_status field of regcache is declared as `unsigned char *`.
This is incorrect, because `enum register_status` from
gdbsupport/common-regcache.h is based on signed char and
REG_UNAVAILABLE is defined as -1. Fix the declared type.
Now that we are modifying the declaration, also use a unique_ptr
and make the field private.
The get/set methods already use the correct type, but we update cast
operations in two places.

The supply_regblock function takes a pointer to a buffer as an
argument and implements two different behavior based on the pointer
being null. There are two cases where we pass nullptr, all in
tracepoint.cc, where we are essentially doing a reset on the regcache.
In fast_tracepoint_ctx::regcache, register_status array does not
even exist. Hence, that use simply boils down to zeroing of register
data. Do this at the time of creating the buffer and remove the call
to supply_regblock.
In fetch_traceframe_registers, inline the use with a call to `reset`.
Hence, there are no more cases left, where a nullptr would be passed
to supply_regblock. Assert that the buffer argument is non-null and
simplify the implementation.

Define a `reset` method for a regcache and use it for code
simplification. This patch allows further simplification in the next
patch.
The reset method fills the register data with zeroes. For the use in
get_thread_regcache, this is added behavior, making the patch not a
pure refactoring, and may look like extra overhead. However, it is
better to avoid having arbitrary values left in the data buffer.
Hence, it is considered a behavioral improvement.

When a regcache is initialized, the values of registers are not
fetched yet. Thus, initialize the register statuses to REG_UNKNOWN
instead of REG_UNAVAILABLE, because the latter rather means "we
attempted to fetch but could not obtain the value".
The definitions of the reg status enums (from
gdbsupport/common-regcache.h) as a reminder:
/* The register value is not in the cache, and we don't know yet
whether it's available in the target (or traceframe). */
REG_UNKNOWN = 0,
/* The register value is valid and cached. */
REG_VALID = 1,
/* The register value is unavailable. E.g., we're inspecting a
traceframe, and this register wasn't collected. Note that this
"unavailable" is different from saying the register does not
exist in the target's architecture --- in that case, the target
should have given us a target description that does not include
the register in the first place. */
REG_UNAVAILABLE = -1
Similarly, when the regcache is invalidated, change all the statuses
back to REG_UNKNOWN.

The regcache_register_size function has one implementation in GDB, and
one in gdbserver. Both of them have a gdb::checked_static_cast to their
corresponding regcache class. This can be avoided by defining a
pure virtual register_size method in the
reg_buffer_common class, which is then implemented by the reg_buffer
class in GDB, and by the regcache class in gdbserver.
Calls to the register_size () function from methods of classes in the
reg_buffer_common hierarchy need to be changed to calls to the newly
defined method, otherwise the compiler complains that a matching method
cannot be found.

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

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

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.
With the AArch64 Scalable Matrix Extension we have a new TPIDR2 register, and
it will be added to the existing NT_ARM_TLS register set. Kernel patches are
being reviewed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20220818170111.351889-1-broonie@kernel.org/
From GDB's perspective, we handle it in a similar way to the existing TPIDR
register. But we need to consider cases of systems that only have TPIDR and
systems that have both TPIDR and TPIDR2.
With that in mind, the following patch adds the required code to support
TPIDR2 and turns the org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.tls feature into a
dynamically-generated target description as opposed to a static target
description containing only TPIDR.
That means we can remove the gdb/features/aarch64-tls.xml file and replace the
existing gdb/features/aarch64-tls.c auto-generated file with a new file that
dynamically generates the target description containing either TPIDR alone or
TPIDR and TPIDR2.
In the future, when *BSD's start to support this register, they can just
enable it as is being done for the AArch64 Linux target.
The core file read/write code has been updated to support TPIDR2 as well.
On GDBserver's side, there is a small change to the find_regno function to
expose a non-throwing version of it.
It always seemed strange to me how find_regno causes the whole operation to
abort if it doesn't find a particular register name. The patch moves code
from find_regno into find_regno_no_throw and makes find_regno call
find_regno_no_throw instead.
This allows us to do register name lookups to find a particular register
number without risking erroring out if nothing is found.
The patch also adjusts the feature detection code for aarch64-fbsd, since
the infrastructure is shared amongst all aarch64 targets. I haven't added
code to support TPIDR2 in aarch64-fbsd though, as I'm not sure when/if
that will happen.
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.
