I think that the language_auto enumerator and the auto_language class
can be removed. There isn't really an "auto" language, it's only a
construct of the "set language" command to say "pick the appropriate
language automatically". But "auto" is never the current language. The
`current_language` points to the current effective language, and the
fact that we're in "auto language" mode is noted by the language_mode
global.
- Change set_language to handle the "auto" (and "local", which is a
synonym) early, instead of in the for loop. I think it makes the two
cases (auto vs explicit language) more clearly separated anyway.
- Adjust add_set_language_command to hard-code the "auto" string,
instead of using the "auto" language definition.
- Remove auto_language, rename auto_or_unknown_language to
unknown_language and move the bits of the existing unknown_language
in there.
- Remove the set_language at the end of _initialize_language. I think
it's not needed, because we call set_language in gdb_init, after all
_initialize functions are called. There is some chance that an
_initialize function that runs after _initialize_language implicitly
depends on current_language being set, but my testsuite runs haven't
found anything like that.
- Use language_unknown instead of language_auto when creating a minimal
symbol (minimal_symbol_reader::record_full). I think that this value
is used to indicate that we don't know the symbol of the minimal
symbol (yet), so language_unknown makes sense to me. Update a
condition accordingly in ada-lang.c. symbol_find_demangled_name also
appears to "normalize" this value from "unknown" to "auto", remove
that part and update the condition to just check for
language_unknown.

The `language` global variable is mostly a scratch variable used for the
setting. The source of truth is really current_language and
language_mode (auto vs manual), which are set by the
set_language_command callback.
Switch the setting to use the add_setshow_enum_cmd overload that takes a
value getter and setter.

Directory gdb/testsuite/boards contains a number of host/target boards, which
run a test-case (or test-cases) in a different way.
The benefits of using these boards are:
- improving test coverage of gdb,
- making the testsuite more robust, and
- making sure the test-cases work for non-native and remote setups, if
possible.
Each board is slightly different, and developers need to learn how to use each
one, what parameters to pass and how, and which ones can be used in
combination with each other. This is a threshold to start using them.
And then there quite a few, so I suppose typically only a few will be used by
each developer.
Add script gdb/testsuite/make-check-all.sh, that's intended to function as a
drop-in replacement of make check, while excercising all host/target boards in
gdb/testsuite/boards.
An example of make-check-all.sh for one test-case is:

While working on PRs tui/30337 and cli/30346 I came across various notions of
width in gdb, as reported by gdb, readline, curses and the environment
variables.
As for gdb, readline and the environment variables, the way things work
is:
- Gdb asks readline to detect screen size,
- readline sets the actual screen size in the environment variables
COLUMNS and LINES,
- readline reports back a screen size to gdb, which may have one column
less than the actual screen size, to deal with lack of auto-wrap.
This becomes gdb's notion of screen size (in other words the point where
we can expect the gdb command line to wrap),
- Gdb then explicitly sets readline's screen size, which readline itself may
adjust to deal with lack of auto-wrap. This becomes readlines notion
of screen size (well, internally the unadjusted one, but it'll report back
the adjusted one).
Add a command "maint info screen" that prints these notions, both for width
and height.
For TERM=xterm we have:
...
$ TERM=xterm gdb -ex "maint info screen"
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 118.
Number of characters readline reports are in a line is 118.
Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 118.
Number of characters environment thinks are in a line is 118 (COLUMNS).
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 27.
Number of lines readline reports are in a page is 27.
Number of lines curses thinks are in a page is 27.
Number of lines environment thinks are in a page is 27 (LINES).
...
And for TERM=ansi:
...
$ TERM=ansi gdb -ex "maint info screen"
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 117.
Number of characters readline reports are in a line is 116.
Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 118.
Number of characters environment thinks are in a line is 118 (COLUMNS).
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 27.
Number of lines readline reports are in a page is 27.
Number of lines curses thinks are in a page is 27.
Number of lines environment thinks are in a page is 27 (LINES).
...
[ The fact that we have "characters readline reports are in a line is 116" is
is due to gdb making readline adjust twice for the lack of auto-wrap, this is
PR cli/30346.
Likewise we can detect tui/30337 by doing a resize in TUI mode and doing
"maint info screen":
...
Number of characters characters curses thinks are in a line is 110.
Number of characters environment thinks are in a line is 111 (COLUMNS). ]
And for TERM=ansi, with width and heigth set to 0:
...
Number of characters gdb thinks are in a line is 4294967295 (unlimited).
Number of characters readline reports are in a line is 32766 (unlimited - 1).
Number of characters curses thinks are in a line is 118.
Number of characters environment thinks are in a line is 118 (COLUMNS).
Number of lines gdb thinks are in a page is 4294967295 (unlimited).
Number of lines readline reports are in a page is 32767 (unlimited).
Number of lines curses thinks are in a page is 27.
Number of lines environment thinks are in a page is 27 (LINES).
...
[ Note that when doing a resize by say maximizing or de-maximizing a terminal,
all reported values are updated, except for curses when not in TUI mode.
Maybe that means there's a bug. If not, then maybe we should not print
the curses lines unless in TUI mode, or annotate those lines such that it's
clear that the values may be not up-to-date. ]
I'd like to use this command in the regression test for PR cli/30346.

* i386-dis.c (OP_J): Check result of get16.
AdaCore has a local patch for PPC "finish", but last year, Ulrich
Weigand pointed out that this patch was incorrect. It may work for
simple functions like the one in the internal test, but nothing
guarantees that r3 will be preserved by the callee, so checking r3 on
exit is not always correct.
This patch fixes the problem using the same approach as PPC64: use the
entry value of r3, if available. Ulrich confirmed this matches the
PPC32 ABI.
On PPC64, with the test case included in an earlier patch, we found
that "finish" would still not correctly find the return value via
entry values.
The issue is simple. The compiler emits:
0x00000000100032b8 <+28>: bl 0x1000320c <pck__create_large>
0x00000000100032bc <+32>: nop
0x00000000100032c0 <+36>: li r9,42
... but the DWARF says:
<162a> DW_AT_call_return_pc: 0x100032c0
That is, the declared return PC is one instruction past the actual
return PC.
This patch adds a new arch hook to handle this scenario, and
implements it for PPC64. Some care is taken so that GDB will continue
to work if this compiler bug is fixed. A GCC patch is here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-March/613336.html
No check for 'nop' is done, as subsequent discussion revealed that the
linker might replace this with another instruction.
call_site_target::iterate_over_addresses may look up a minimal symbol.
On platforms like PPC64 that use function descriptors, this may find
an unexpected address. The fix is to use gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr
to convert from a function descriptor to the address recorded at the
call site.
I've added a new test case that is based on the internal AdaCore test
that provoked this bug. However, I'm unable to test it as-is on
PPC64.
get64() is unreachable when !BFD64 (due to a check relatively early in
print_insn()). Let's avoid the associated #ifdef-ary (or else we should
extend it to remove more dead code).
Make them return boolean and convert FETCH_DATA() uses to fetch_code().
With this no further users of FETCH_DATA() remain, so the macro and its
backing function are dropped as well.
Leave value types as they were for the helper functions, even if I don't
think that beyond get64() use of bfd_{,signed_}vma is really necessary.
With type change of "disp" in OP_E_memory(), change the 2nd parameter of
print_displacement() to a signed type as well, though (eliminating the
need for a local variable of signed type). This also eliminates the need
for custom printing of '-' in Intel syntax displacement expressions.
While there drop forward declarations which aren't really needed.
Use a tristate (enum) return value type to be able to express all three
cases which are of interest to the (sole) caller. This also allows doing
away with the abuse of "rex_used".
... and its direct helper get_sib(). Using setjmp()/longjmp() for fetch
error handling is problematic, as per
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2023-March/126687.html. Start
using more conventional error handling instead.
Also introduce a fetch_modrm() helper, for subsequent re-use.
... such that it can be used from other than the setjmp() error handling
path.
Since I'd like the function's parameter to be pointer-to-const, two
other functions need respective constification then, too (along with
needing to be forward-declared).
This should be the first related issue, which posted in riscv-gnu-toolchain,
https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain/issues/497
If the output sections are not between gp and the symbol, then their alignments
shouldn't affect the gp relaxation. However, this patch improves this idea
even more, it limits the range to the gp+-2k, which means only the output
section which are in the [gp-2K, gp+2K) range need to be considered.
Even if the output section candidates may be different for each relax passes,
the symbol that can be relaxed ar this round will not be truncated at next
round. That is because this round you can do relaxation which means that the
section where the symbol is located is within the [gp-2K, gp+2K) range, so all
the output section alignments between them should be considered. In other
words, if the alignments between them may cause truncated, then we should
already preserve the size and won't do the gp relaxation this time.
This patch can resolve the github issue which mentioned above, and also passed
all gcc/binutils regressions of riscv-gnu-toolchain, so should be worth and
safe enough to commit.
Originally, this patch also do the same optimization for the call relaxations,
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-October/123918.html
But just in case there is something that has not been considered, we only
deal with the gp relaxation at this time.

rs6000-coff archives use a linked list of file offsets, where each
element points to the next element. The idea is to allow updating of
large archives quickly without rewriting the whole archive. (binutils
ar does not do this.) Unfortunately this is an easy target for
fuzzers to create an archive that will cause ar or any other tool
processing archives to hang. I'd implemented guards against pointing
back to the previous element, but of course that didn't last long.
So this patch implements a scheme to keep track of file offset ranges
used by elements as _bfd_read_ar_hdr is called for each element. See
the add_range function comment. I needed a place to stash the list,
so chose the obvious artdata.tdata backend extension to archive's
tdata, already used by xcoff. That involved a little cleanup, because
while it would be possible to continue using different artdata.tdata
for the big and small archives, it's nicer to use a union.
If anyone is concerned this list of element ranges might grow large
and thus significantly slow down the tools, adjacent ranges are
merged. In fact something like "ar t" will only ever have one range
on xcoff archives generated by binutils/ar. I agree there might still
be a problem with ld random element access via the armap.

I happened across adjust_type_signedness, which may be used to modify
a type when printing an Ada value. Modifying a type like this is a
bad idea -- they should normally be considered immutable. Removing
this function still passes both the dejagnu and internal AdaCore
tests, though, so this patch drops it.
As this was reviewed internally, and only affect Ada, I am checking it
in.
Callers which want to make further parsing attempts at the buffer passed
to the function need to be aware that due to the potential of string
concatenation the input buffer may be altered in ways beyond what can be
undone by putting back at *input_line_pointer the character that the
function returns.
This reverts the code change done by 100f993c53 ("x86: Check
unbalanced braces in memory reference"), which wrongly identified
e87fb6a6d0 ("x86/gas: support quoted address scale factor in AT&T
syntax") as the root cause of PR gas/30248. (The testcase is left in
place, no matter that it's at best marginally useful in that shape.)
The problem instead is that parse_register() alters the string handed to
it, thus breaking valid assumptions in subsequent parsing code. Since
the function's behavior is a result of get_symbol_name()'s, make a copy
of the incoming string before invoking that function.
Like for parse_real_register() follow the model of strtol() et al: input
string is const-qualified to signal that the string isn't altered, but
the returned "end" pointer is not const-qualified, requiring const to be
cast away (which generally is a bad idea, but the alternative would
again be more convoluted code).

PowerPC supports two 128-bit floating point formats, the IBM long double
and IEEE 128-bit float. The issue is the DWARF information does not
distinguish between the two. There have been proposals of how to extend
the DWARF information as discussed in
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104194
but has not been fully implemented.
GCC introduced the _Float128 internal type as a work around for the issue.
The workaround is not transparent to GDB. The internal _Float128 type
name is printed rather then the user specified long double type. This
patch adds a new gdbarch method to allow PowerPC to detect the GCC
workaround. The workaround checks for "_Float128" name when reading the
base typedef from the die_info. If the workaround is detected, the type
and format fields from the _Float128 typedef are copied to the long
double typedef. The same is done for the complex long double typedef.
This patch fixes 74 regression test failures in
gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp on PowerPC with IEEE float 128 as the
default on GCC. It fixes one regression test failure in
gdb.base/complex-parts.exp.
The patch has been tested on Power 10 where GCC defaults to IEEE Float
128-bit and on Power 10 where GCC defaults to the IBM 128-bit float. The
patch as also been tested on X86-64 with no new regression failures.

Current flow:
1) Scan any mapping symbol less than this instruciton.
2) If not found, did a backward search.
The flow seems not big issue, let run an example here:
$x:
0x0 a <--- Found at step 1
0x4 b <--- Not found in step 1, but found at step 2
0x8 c <--- Not found in step 1, but found at step 2
$d
0x12 .word 1234 <-- Found at step 1
The instruciton didn't have the same address with mapping symbol will
still did backward search again and again.
So the new flow is:
1) Use the last mapping symbol status if the address is still within the range
of the current mapping symbol.
2) Scan any mapping symbol less than this instruciton.
3) If not found, did a backward search.
4) If a proper mapping symbol is found in either step 2 or 3, find its boundary,
and cache that.
Use the same example to run the new flow again:
$x:
0x0 a <--- Found at step 2, the boundary is 0x12
0x4 b <--- Cache hit at step 1, within the boundary.
0x8 c <--- Cache hit at step 1, within the boundary.
$d
0x12 .word 1234 <-- Found at step 2, the boundary is the end of section.
The disassemble time of the test cases has been reduced from ~20 minutes to ~4
