Add completion to the parser. The lexer has a start at this, but it is maybe incorrect (at least it doesn't complete if EOF comes just after a keyword); and anyway the parser doesn't have anything.

This is harder than it seems because we don't lower directly to gdb expressions but instead via our AST; which isn't then set if parsing fails.

I realized last night that the production using COMPLETE can set rust_ast and then we can just go from there.

When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir
for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them.

Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program
is multi threaded and linked with pthreads.  Thus when GDB soon after
attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll
add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found
lower-level LWPs.

If, however, GDB fails to find/load a matching libthread_db, nothing
is adding the LWPs to the thread list.  And because of that, "detach"
hits an internal error:

Most of the time, the trace should be in one piece.  This case is handled fine
by GDB.  In some cases, however, there may be gaps in the trace.  They result
from trace decode errors or from overflows.

A gap in the trace means we lost an unknown amount of trace.  Gaps can be very
small, such as a few instructions in the same function, or they can be rather
big.  We may, for example, lose a few function calls or returns.  The trace may
continue in a different function and we likely don't know how we got there.

Even though we can't say how the program executed across a gap, higher levels
may not be impacted too much by it.  Let's assume we have functions a-e and a
trace that looks roughly like this:

  a
   \
    b                    b
     \                  /
      c   <gap>        c
                      /
                 d   d
                  \ /
                   e

Even though we can't say for sure, it is likely that b and c are the same
function instance before and after the gap.  This patch is trying to connect
the c and b function segments across the gap.

This will add a to the back trace of b on the right hand side.  The changes are
reflected in GDB's internal representation of the trace and will improve:

  - the output of "record function-call-history /c"
  - the output of "backtrace" in replay mode
  - source stepping in replay mode
    will be improved indirectly via the improved back trace

I don't have an automated test for this patch; decode errors will be fixed and
overflows occur sporadically and are quite rare.  I tested it by hacking GDB to
provoke a decode error and on the expected gap in the gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp
test.

The issue is that we can't predict where we will be able to re-sync in case of
errors.  For the expected decode error in gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp, for example, we
may be able to re-sync somewhere in dlclose, in test, in main, or not at all.

Here's one example run of gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp with and without this patch.

It worked nicely in this case but it may, of course, also lead to weird
connections; it is a heuristic, after all.

It works best when the gap is small and the trace pieces are long.

When the gdbpy_ref objects get destroyed, they call Py_DECREF to
decrement the reference counter of the python object they hold a
reference to.  Any time we call into the Python API, we should be
holding the GIL.  The gdbpy_enter object does that for us in an
RAII-fashion.

However, if gdbpy_enter is declared after a gdbpy_ref object in a
function, gdbpy_enter's destructor will be called (and the GIL will be
released) before gdbpy_ref's destructor is called.  Therefore, we will
end up calling Py_DECREF without holding the GIL.

This became obvious with Python 3.6, where memory management functions
have asserts to make sure that the GIL is held.  This was exposed by
tests py-as-string.exp, py-function.exp and py-xmethods.  For example:

  (gdb) p $_as_string(enum_valid)

The fix is to place the gdbpy_enter first in the function.  I also
cleaned up the comments a bit and removed the unnecessary initialization
of the value variable.

This is a follow-up to

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00261.html

This patch restricts queries to the main UI, which allows to avoid two
different problems.

The first one is that GDB is issuing queries on secondary MI channels
for which a TTY is allocated.  The second one is that GDB is not able to
handle queries on two (CLI) UIs simultaneously.  Restricting queries to
the main UI allows to bypass these two problems.

More details on how/why these two problems happen:

1. Queries on secondary MI UI

  The current criterion to decide if we should query the user is whether
  the input stream is a TTY.  The original way to start GDB in MI mode
  from a front-end was to create a subprocess with pipes to its
  stdin/stdout.  In this case, the input was considered non-interactive
  and queries were auto-answered.  Now that front-ends can create the MI
  channel as a separate UI connected to a dedicated TTY, GDB now
  considers this input stream as interactive and sends queries to it.
  By restricting queries to the main UI, we make sure we never query on
  the secondary MI UI.

2. Simultaneous queries

  As Pedro stated it, when you have two queries on two different CLI UIs
  at the same time, you end up with the following pseudo stack:

  #0 gdb_readline_wrapper
  #1 defaulted_query                 // for UI #2
  #2 handle_command
  #3 execute_command ("handle SIGTRAP" ....
  #4 stdin_event_handler             // input on UI #2
  #5 gdb_do_one_event
  #7 gdb_readline_wrapper
  #8 defaulted_query                 // for UI #1
  #9 handle_command
  #10 execute_command ("handle SIGINT" ....
  #11 stdin_event_handler            // input on UI #1
  #12 gdb_do_one_event
  #13 gdb_readline_wrapper

  trying to answer the query on UI #1 will therefore answer for UI #2.

  By restricting the queries to the main UI, we ensure that there will
  never be more than one pending query, since you can't have two queries
  on a UI at the same time.

I added a snippet to gdb.base/new-ui.exp to verify that we get a query
on the main UI, but that we don't on the secondary one (or, more
precisely, that it gets auto-answered).

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* utils.c (defaulted_query): Don't query on secondary UIs.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/new-ui.exp (do_test): Test queries behavior on main
	and extra UIs.

Commit d7e7473 ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make
ui_file a class hierarchy") introduced a problem when using "layout
regs", that leads gdb to crash when issuing:

From the backtrace, it's caused by this 'delete' on tui_restore_gdbout():

The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file
that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated
string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file.  The
fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete.

New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and
without execution.  (This particular crash only triggers with
execution.)

Starting a process on macOS/Darwin currently leads to this error:

/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/darwin-nat.c:383: internal-error: void darwin_check_new_threads(struct inferior *): Assertion `tp' failed.

with the corresponding partial backtrace (sorry, taken with lldb,
because well, gdb is broken :)):

The issue was introduced by commit

  "Share fork_inferior et al with gdbserver"

because it changed the place where the dummy thread (pid, 0, 0) is added,
relative to the call to the init_trace_fun callback.  In this callback, darwin
checks for new threads in the program (there should be exactly one) in order to
update this dummy thread with the right tid.  Previously, things happened in
this order:

 - fork_inferior calls fork()
 - fork_inferior adds dummy thread
 - fork_inferior calls init_trace_fun callback, which updates the dummy
   thread info

Following the commit mentioned above, the new thread is added in the
darwin-nat code, after having called fork_inferior (in
darwin_create_inferior).  So gdb tries to do things in this order:

 - fork_inferior calls fork()
 - fork_inferior calls init_trace_fun callback, which tries to update
   the dummy thread info
 - darwin_create_inferior adds the dummy thread

The error happens while trying to update the dummy thread that has not
been added yet.

I don't think this dummy thread is necessary for darwin.  Previously, it
was fork_inferior that was adding this thread, for all targets, so
darwin had to deal with it.  Now that it's done by targets themselves,
we can just skip that on darwin.  darwin_check_new_threads called
indirectly by init_trace_fun/darwin_ptrace_him will simply notice the
new thread and add it with the right information.

My level of testing was: try to start a process and try to attach to a
process, and it seems to work somewhat like it did before.  I tried to
run the testsuite, but it leaves a huge amount of zombie processes that
launchd doesn't seem to reap, leading to exhaustion of system resources
(number of processes).

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* darwin-nat.c (darwin_check_new_threads): Don't handle dummy
	thread.
	(darwin_init_thread_list): Don't update dummy thread.
	(darwin_create_inferior, darwin_attach): Don't add a dummy thread.

If you have a breakpoint command that re-resumes the target, like:

  break foo
  commands
  > c
  > end

and then let the inferior run, hitting the breakpoint, and then press
Ctrl-C at just the right time, between GDB processing the stop at
"foo", and re-resuming the target, you'll hit the QUIT call in
infrun.c:resume.

With this hack, we can reproduce the bad case consistently:

and when that happens, you end up with GDB's run control in quite a
messed up state.  Something like this:

  thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:107
  107             usleep (SLEEP);  /* Loop increment.  */
  Quit
  (gdb) c
  Continuing.
  ** nothing happens, time passes..., press ctrl-c again **
  ^CQuit
  (gdb) info threads
    Id   Target Id         Frame
    1    Thread 1462.1462 "threads" (running)
  * 2    Thread 1462.1466 "threads" (running)
    3    Thread 1462.1465 "function0" (running)
  (gdb) c
  Cannot execute this command while the selected thread is running.
  (gdb)

The first "Quit" above is thrown from within "resume", and cancels run
control while GDB is in the middle of stepping over a breakpoint.
with step_over_info_valid_p() true.  The next "c" didn't actually
resume anything, because GDB throught that the step-over was still in
progress.  It wasn't, because the thread that was supposed to be
stepping over the breakpoint wasn't actually resumed.

So at this point, we press Ctrl-C again, and this time, the default
quit handler is called directly from the event loop
(event-top.c:default_quit_handler -> quit()), because gdb was left
owning the terminal (because the previous resume was cancelled before
we reach target_resume -> target_terminal::inferior()).

Note that the exception called from within resume ends up calling
normal_stop via resume_cleanups.  That's very borked though, because
normal_stop is going to re-handle whatever was the last reported
event, possibly even re-running a hook stop...  I think that the only
sane way to safely cancel the run control state machinery is to push
an event via handle_inferior_event like all other events.

The fix here does two things, and either alone would fix the problem
at hand:

#1 - passes the terminal to the inferior earlier, so that any QUIT
     call from the point we declare the target as running goes to the
     inferior directly, protecting run control from unsafe QUIT calls.

#2 - gets rid of this QUIT call in resume and of its related unsafe
     resume_cleanups.

Aboout #2, the comment describing resume says:

  /* Resume the inferior, but allow a QUIT.  This is useful if the user
     wants to interrupt some lengthy single-stepping operation
     (for child processes, the SIGINT goes to the inferior, and so
     we get a SIGINT random_signal, but for remote debugging and perhaps
     other targets, that's not true).

but that's a really old comment that predates a lot of fixes to Ctrl-C
handling throughout both GDB core and the remote target, that made
sure that a Ctrl-C isn't ever lost.  In any case, if some target
depended on this, a much better fix would be to make the target return
a SIGINT stop out of target_wait the next time that is called.

This was exposed by the new gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp
testcase added later in the series.

There's actually a series of three issues reported, but it turns out
they're all related, so we can consider on the first one.

The invalid read is triggered from a destructor which is being invoked
as part of a stack unwind after throwing an error.  At the time the
error is thrown, the stack looks like this:

The problem is that in `process_die` (frames 14 and 16) we create a
`process_die_scope` object, that takes a copy of the `struct
dwarf2_cu *` passed into the frame.  The destructor of the
`process_die_scope` dereferences the stored pointer.  This wouldn't be
an issue, except...

... in dw2_do_instantiate_symtab (frame 19) a clean up was registered that
clears the dwarf2_queue in case of an error.  Part of this clean up
involves deleting the `struct dwarf2_cu`s referenced from the queue..

The problem then, is that cleanups are processed at the site of the
throw, while, class destructors are invoked as we unwind their frame.
The result is that we process the frame 19 cleanup (and delete the
struct dwarf2_cu) before we process the destructors in frames 14 and 16.
When we do get back to frames 14 and 16 the objects being references
have already been deleted.

The solution is to remove the cleanup from dw2_do_instantiate_symtab, and
instead use a destructor to release the dwarf2_queue instead.  With this
patch in place, the valgrind errors are now resolved.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_release_queue): Delete function, move body
	into...
	(class dwarf2_queue_guard): ...the destructor of this new class.
	(dw2_do_instantiate_symtab): Create instance of the new class
	dwarf2_queue_guard, remove cleanup.

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute.  The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running.  create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.

Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object.  Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.

A following commit to make each inferior have its own thread list
exposes a problem with bf93d7b ("Add thread after updating gdbarch
when exec'ing"), which is that we can't defer adding the thread
because that breaks try_open_exec_file which deep inside ends up
calling inferior_thread():

The problem is latent currently because inferior_thread() at that
point manages to return a thread, even though it's the wrong one (of
the old inferior).

The problem originally fixed by bf93d7b was:

    (...) we should avoid doing register reads
    after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's
    gdbarch.  Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
    architecture.

    (...) The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is
    problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid
    is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to
    update stop_pc). (...)

The register-reading issue is no longer a problem nowadays, ever since
switch_to_thread stopped reading the stop_pc in git commit
f2ffa92 ("gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global").

So this commit basically reverts bf93d7b.

So on frame #10, we're marking a newly-discovered thread as running,
and that causes the Python API to emit a gdb.ContinueEvent.
gdb.ContinueEvent is a gdb.ThreadEvent, and as such includes the event
thread as the "inferior_thread" attribute.  The problem is that when
we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is
being marked as running.  create_continue_event_object assumes that it
is the current thread, which is not true in this case.

Fix this by passing down the right thread in
create_continue_event_object.  Also remove
create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other
caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too.

Errors that happen in nested sourced files (when a sourced file sources
another file) lead to a wrong error message, or use-after-free.

For example, if I put this in "a.gdb":

    command_that_doesnt_exist

and this in "b.gdb":

   source a.gdb

and try to "source b.gdb" in GDB, the result may look like this:

    (gdb) source b.gdb
    b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file:
    _that_doesnt_exist:1: Error in sourced command file:
    Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist".  Try "help".

Notice the wrong file name where "a.gdb" should be.  The exact result
may differ, depending on the feelings of the memory allocator.

What happens is:

- The "source a.gdb" command is saved by command_line_append_input_line
  in command_line_input's static buffer.
- Since we are sourcing a file, the script_from_file function stores the
  script name (a.gdb) in the source_file_name global.  However, it doesn't
  do a copy, it just saves a pointer to command_line_input's static buffer.
- The "command_that_doesnt_exist" command is saved by
  command_line_append_input_line in command_line_input's static buffer.
  Depending on what xrealloc does, source_file_name may now point to
  freed memory, or at the minimum the data it was pointing to was
  overwritten.
- When the error is handled in script_from_file, we dererence
  source_file_name to print the name of the file in which the error
  occured.

To fix it, I made source_file_name an std::string, so that keeps a copy of
the file name instead of pointing to a buffer with a too small
lifetime.

With this patch, the expected filename is printed, and no use-after-free
occurs:

    (gdb) source b.gdb
    b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file:
    a.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file:
    Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist".  Try "help".

I passed explicit template parameters to make_scoped_restore
(<std::string, const std::string &>), so that the second parameter is
passed by reference and avoid a copy.

It was not as obvious as I first thought to change gdb.base/source.exp
to test this, because source commands inside sourced files are
interpreted relative to GDB's current working directory, not the
directory of the currently sourced file.  As a workaround, I moved the
snippet that tests errors after the snippet that adds the source
directory to the search path.  This way, the "source source-error-1.gdb"
line in source-error.exp manages to find the file.

For reference, here is what ASAN reports when use-after-free occurs:

(gdb) source b.gdb

Commit ab42892 ("Fix vertical scrolling of TUI source window")
introduced a use-after-free in source_cache::get_source_lines.

At the beginning of the method, we get the fullname of the symtab:

    const char *fullname = symtab_to_fullname (s);

fullname points to the string owned by the symtab (s.fullname).  When we
later do

    scoped_fd desc = open_source_file (s);

s.fullname gets reallocated (even though the string contents may not
change).  The fullname local variable now points to freed memory.

To avoid it, refresh the value of fullname after calling
open_source_file.

Here is the ASan report:

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* source-cache.c (source_cache::get_source_lines): Re-read
	fullname after calling open_source_file.
tromey pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 2, 2019
…trace

The test  gdb.threads/watchthreads-reorder.exp verifies that the
'set debug infrun 1' debug output does not crash GDB.

Under high load, the test can still cause a GDB internal error (see details
below).

This patch fixes this crash, and improves/factorises some wait kind traces.

Tested on debian/amd64 + run one test with 'set debug infrun 1'.

Changes compared to the first version:
  * Handles the suggestions of Kevin to trace the relevant elements
    of the wait status (this is done by calling target_waitstatus_to_string).
  * Some other changes to factorise wait status tracing.

Note that using target_waitstatus_to_string instead of the 'locally printed'
status kind strings means that debug trace that was using strings such as:
   "EXITED" or "TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED"
will now use what is printed by target_waitstatus_to_string e.g.
   "exited".

gdb/ChangeLog
2019-04-01  Philippe Waroquiers  <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be>

	* infrun.c (stop_all_threads): If debug_infrun, always
	trace the wait status after wait_one, using
	target_waitstatus_to_string and target_pid_to_str.
	(handle_inferior_event): Replace various trace of
	wait status kind by a single trace.
	* gdb/gnu-nat.c (gnu_nat_target::wait): Replace local
	wait status kind image by target_waitstatus_to_string.
	* target/waitstatus.c (target_waitstatus_to_string): Fix
	obsolete comment.

Commit ab42892 ("Fix vertical scrolling of TUI source window")
introduced a use-after-free in source_cache::get_source_lines.

At the beginning of the method, we get the fullname of the symtab:

    const char *fullname = symtab_to_fullname (s);

fullname points to the string owned by the symtab (s.fullname).  When we
later do

    scoped_fd desc = open_source_file (s);

s.fullname gets reallocated (even though the string contents may not
change).  The fullname local variable now points to freed memory.

To avoid it, refresh the value of fullname after calling
open_source_file.

Here is the ASan report:

This error happens as follows.

The function find_partial_die has a cu argument, but returns a pdi which may
or may not be from that cu:
...
/* Find a partial DIE at OFFSET, which may or may not be in CU,
   except in the case of .debug_types DIEs which do not reference
   outside their CU (they do however referencing other types via
   DW_FORM_ref_sig8).  */

static struct partial_die_info *
find_partial_die (sect_offset sect_off, int offset_in_dwz, struct dwarf2_cu *cu)
...

So the pdi returned by find_partial_die here in partial_die_parent_scope may
be from another cu:
...
partial_die_parent_scope (struct partial_die_info *pdi,
                          struct dwarf2_cu *cu)
{
  const char *grandparent_scope;
  struct partial_die_info *parent, *real_pdi;

  /* We need to look at our parent DIE; if we have a DW_AT_specification,
     then this means the parent of the specification DIE.  */

  real_pdi = pdi;
  while (real_pdi->has_specification)
    real_pdi = find_partial_die (real_pdi->spec_offset,
                                 real_pdi->spec_is_dwz, cu);

  parent = real_pdi->die_parent;
...
in which case both real_pdi and parent will be not from cu, but from another
one, say cu2.

Subsequently, cu's comp_unit_obstack is used to set parent->scope:
...
        parent->scope = typename_concat (&cu->comp_unit_obstack,
                                         grandparent_scope,
                                         parent->name, 0, cu);
...

So, we use cu->comp_unit_obstack to assign a value to the scope field of
a pdi belonging to cu2, and when cu is deleted, the scope field points to a
freed value.

Fix this by making find_partial_die return the cu corresponding to the
returned pdi, and handling this at the call sites.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb/ChangeLog:

The problem happens in linespec_lexer_lex_string when lexing
"b test_abi_tag_function[abi:\0" (using a notation where we make the implicit
terminating \0 explicit).

We arrrive here with (PARSER_STREAM (parser)) == ":\0":
...
             /* Do not tokenize ABI tags such as "[abi:cxx11]".  */
             else if (PARSER_STREAM (parser) - start > 4
                      && startswith (PARSER_STREAM (parser) - 4, "[abi"))
               ++(PARSER_STREAM (parser));
...
and consume ':', after which we end up here and consume '\0':
...
         /* Advance the stream.  */
         ++(PARSER_STREAM (parser));
...
after which (PARSER_STREAM (parser)) points past the end of the string.

Fix this by removing the first "++(PARSER_STREAM (parser))", and add an assert
to the second one to detect moving past the end-of-string.

Build and tested on x86_64-linux.

The problem happens as follows.

The executable amd64-init-x87-values gets an index (due to target board
cc-with-gdb-index), which looks as follows:
...
Hex dump of section '.gdb_index':

  0x00002030 00000000 00000000 00000000          ............
...

The structure of this index is:
...
header       : [0x0, 0x18)     : size 0x18
culist       : [0x18 ,0x28)    : size 0x10
typesculist  : [0x28, 0x28)    : size 0x0
adress area  : [0x28, 0x3c)    : size 0x14
symbol table : [0x3c, 0x203c)  : size 0x2000
constant pool: [0x203c, 0x203c): size 0x0
EOF          : 0x203c
...

Note that the symbol table consists entirely of empty slots (where an empty
slot is a pair of 32-bit zeroes), and that the constant pool is empty.

The problem happens here in mapped_index_base::build_name_components:
...
  auto count = this->symbol_name_count ();
  for (offset_type idx = 0; idx < count; idx++)
    {
      if (this->symbol_name_slot_invalid (idx))
	continue;

      const char *name = this->symbol_name_at (idx);
...
when accessing the slot at idx == 0 in the symbol table,
symbol_name_slot_invalid returns false so we calculate name, which is
calculated using 'constant_pool + symbol_table[idx].name', which means we get
name == constant_pool.  And given that the constant pool is empty, name now
points past the memory allocated for the index, and when we access name[0] for
the first time in cp_find_first_component_aux, we run into the
heap-buffer-overflow.

Fix this by fixing the definition of symbol_name_slot_invalid:
...
-    return bucket.name == 0 && bucket.vec;
+    return bucket.name == 0 && bucket.vec == 0;
...

Tested on x86_64-linux.

...

The direct cause is that child_path gets called with parent == "", so this
test:
...
  if (IS_DIR_SEPARATOR (parent[parent_len - 1]))
...
accesses parent[-1].

[ There is an open discussion (1) about whether an empty sysroot should indeed
be represented internally as "".  But this patch focuses on fixing the
heap-buffer-overflow without any redesign. ]

Fix this by guarding the test with 'parent_len > 0'.

Note that the fix makes child_path behave the same for:
- parent == "/" && child == "/foo" (returns "foo")
- parent == "" and child == "/foo" (returns "foo").

Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

When:
- building trunk gdb with '-fsanitize=address -lasan',
- running gdb tests with "export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0",
I run into a heap-buffer-overflow failure for
gdb.base/utf8-identifiers.exp.

In more detail, the libasan error report looks like this:

I've written an assert in rl_redisplay that formulates the error condition:

which triggers without needing the address sanitizer (or even an executable),
like this:

gdb: src/display.c:1393: rl_redisplay: Assertion
`last_lmargin + (_rl_screenwidth + visible_wrap_offset) <= line_size'
failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
...

The basic problem is this: visible_line and invisible_line have length
line_size, but the update_line call assumes that line_size is at least
_rl_screenwidth + 1.  Executing "set width 0" sets _rl_screenwidth to 32766 but
doesn't affect line_size, which is initialized to 1024.

Fix this by ensuring in init_line_structures and rl_redisplay that line_size
is at least _rl_screenwidth + 1.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

A segfault can happen in a specific scenario when using TUI + a
corefile, as explained in the bug mentioned above.  The problem
happens when opening a corefile on GDB:

  $ gdb ./core program

entering TUI (C-x a), and then issuing a "run" command.  GDB segfaults
with the following stack trace:

The problem happens because 'tui_locator_window::make_status_line'
needs the value of 'target_shortname' in order to update the status
line.  'target_shortname' is a macro which expands to:

  #define	target_shortname	(current_top_target ()->shortname ())

and, in our scenario, 'current_top_target ()' returns NULL, which
obviously causes a segfault.  But why does it return NULL, since,
according to its comment on target.h, it should never do that?

What is happening is that we're being caught in the middle of a
"target switch".  We had the 'core_target' on top, because we were
inspecting a corefile, but when the user decided to invoke "run" GDB
had to actually create the inferior, which ends up detecting that we
have a target already, and tries to close it (from target.c):

  /* See target.h.  */

  void
  target_stack::push (target_ops *t)
  {
    /* If there's already a target at this stratum, remove it.  */
    strata stratum = t->stratum ();

    if (m_stack[stratum] != NULL)
      {
	target_ops *prev = m_stack[stratum];
	m_stack[stratum] = NULL;
	target_close (prev); // <-- here
      }
  ...

When the current target ('core_target') is being closed, it checks for
possible observers registered with it and calls them.  TUI is one of
those observers, it gets called, tries to update the status line, and
GDB crashes.

The real problem is that we are clearing 'm_stack[stratum]', but
forgetting to adjust 'm_top'.  Interestingly, this scenario is covered
in 'target_stack::unpush', but Pedro said he forgot to call it here..
The fix, therefore, is to call '::unpush' if there's a target on the
stack.

This patch has been tested on the Buildbot and no regressions have
been found.  I'm also submitting a testcase for it.

The problems is that mep's code ends up calling inferior_thread, which
calls find_thread_ptid.  find_thread_ptid searches for a thread by ptid
in the thread list of the inferior that is expected to contain that
thread.

However, the thread list of the mock inferior set up in cooked_read_test
is never initialized.  So find_thread_ptid doesn't find the thread,
which is an unexpected situation for inferior_thread.

This is failing since this commit:

	0803633
	Per-inferior thread list, thread ranges/iterators, down with ALL_THREADS, etc.

Fix it by putting the mock thread in the thread list of the mock
inferior in cooked_read_test.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* regcache.c (cooked_read_test): Initialize thread list of
	mock_inferior.

The problem is that the tui_layout_base is missing a virtual destructor.
We allocate a derived object (tui_layout_split), but delete it through a
tui_layout_base pointer.  Since the tui_layout_base destructor is not
virtual, the derived (tui_layout_split) destructor is not called, only
the base destructor.

That code is not in gdb-9-branch, so I don't think this patch is
relevant for the stable branch.

Note that this is caught as a diagnostic with clang:

	* tui/tui-layout.h (class tui_layout_base): Add virtual
	destructor.
tromey pushed a commit that referenced this issue Apr 24, 2020
There has been some breakage for aarch64-linux, arm-linux and s390-linux in
terms of inline frame unwinding. There may be other targets, but these are
the ones i'm aware of.

The following testcases started to show numerous failures and trigger internal
errors in GDB after commit 1009d92,
"Find tailcall frames before inline frames".

gdb.opt/inline-break.exp
gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp
gdb.python/py-frame-inline.exp
gdb.reverse/insn-reverse.exp

The internal errors were of this kind:

binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:579: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `fi->level == 0' failed.

After a lengthy investigation to try and find the cause of these assertions,
it seems we're dealing with some fragile/poorly documented code to handle inline
frames and we are attempting to unwind from this fragile section of code.

Before commit 1009d92, the tailcall sniffer
was invoked from dwarf2_frame_prev_register. By the time we invoke the
dwarf2_frame_prev_register function, we've probably already calculated the
frame id (via compute_frame_id).

After said commit, the call to dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first was moved to
dwarf2_frame_cache. This is very early in a frame creation process, and
we're still calculating the frame ID (so compute_frame_id is in the call
stack).

This would be fine for regular frames, but the above testcases all deal
with some inline frames.

The particularity of inline frames is that their frame ID's depend on
the previous frame's ID, and the previous frame's ID relies in the inline
frame's registers. So it is a bit of a messy situation.

We have comments in various parts of the code warning about some of these
particularities.

In the case of dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first, we attempt to unwind the PC,
which goes through various functions until we eventually invoke
frame_unwind_got_register. This function will eventually attempt to create
a lazy value for a particular register, and this lazy value will require
a valid frame ID.  Since the inline frame doesn't have a valid frame ID
yet (remember we're still calculating the previous frame's ID so we can tell
what the inline frame ID is) we will call compute_frame_id for the inline
frame (level 0).

We'll eventually hit the assertion above, inside get_frame_id:

--
      /* If we haven't computed the frame id yet, then it must be that
         this is the current frame.  Compute it now, and stash the
         result.  The IDs of other frames are computed as soon as
         they're created, in order to detect cycles.  See
         get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle.  */
      gdb_assert (fi->level == 0);
--

It seems to me we shouldn't have reached this assertion without having the
inline frame ID already calculated. In fact, it seems we even start recursing
a bit when we invoke get_prev_frame_always within inline_frame_this_id. But
a check makes us quit the recursion and proceed to compute the id.

The following patch addresses this by using a function that unwinds the PC
from the next (inline) frame directly as opposed to creating a lazy value
that is bound to the next frame's ID (still not computed).

…gs_struct

I recently stumbled on this code mentioning Linux kernel 2.6.25, and
thought it could be time for some spring cleaning (newer GDBs probably
don't need to supports 12-year old kernels).  I then found that the
"legacy" case is probably broken anyway, which gives an even better
motivation for its removal.

In short, this patch removes the configure checks that check if
user_regs_struct contains the fs_base/gs_base fields and adjusts all
uses of the HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_{FS,GS}_BASE macros.  The
longer explanation/rationale follows.

Apparently, Linux kernels since 2.6.25 (that's from 2008) have been
reliably providing fs_base and gs_base as part of user_regs_struct.
Commit df5d438e33d7 in the Linux kernel [1] seems related.  This means
that we can get these values by reading registers with PTRACE_GETREGS.
Previously, these values were obtained using a separate
PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL ptrace call.

First, I'm not even sure the configure check was really right in the
first place.

The user_regs_struct used by GDB comes from
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/user.h (or equivalent on other
distros) and is provided by glibc.  glibc has had the fs_base/gs_base
fields in there for a very long time, at least since this commit from
2001 [2].  The Linux kernel also has its version of user_regs_struct,
which I think was exported to user-space at some point.  It included the
fs_base/gs_base fields since at least this 2002 commit [3].  In any
case, my conclusion is that the fields were there long before the
aforementioned Linux kernel commit.  The kernel commit didn't add these
fields, it only made sure that they have reliable values when obtained
with PTRACE_GETREGS.

So, checking for the presence of the fs_base/gs_base fields in struct
user_regs_struct doesn't sound like a good way of knowing if we can
reliably get the fs_base/gs_base values from PTRACE_GETREGS.  My guess
is that if we were using that strategy on a < 2.6.25 kernel, things
would not work correctly:

- configure would find that the user_regs_struct has the fs_base/gs_base
  fields (which are probided by glibc anyway)
- we would be reading the fs_base/gs_base values using PTRACE_GETREGS,
  for which the kernel would provide unreliable values

Second, I have tried to see how things worked by forcing GDB to not use
fs_base/gs_base from PTRACE_GETREGS (forcing it to use the "legacy"
code, by configuring with

  ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_gs_base=no ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_fs_base=no

Doing so breaks writing registers back to the inferior.  For example,
calling an inferior functions gives an internal error:

    (gdb) p malloc(10)

The problem seems to be that amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers
calls amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p to know whether gregset provides
fs_base.  When !HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE,
amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p returns false.  store_registers
therefore assumes that it must be an "xstate" register.  This is of
course wrong, and that leads to the failed assertion when
i387_collect_xsave doesn't recognize the register.

amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers could probably be fixed to
handle this case, but I don't think it's worth it, given that it would
only be to support very old kernels.

…, part 1

Running the testsuite against an Asan-enabled build of GDB makes
gdb.base/multi-target.exp expose this bug.

scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor calls get_frame_id to record the
selected frame's ID to restore later.  If the frame ID hasn't been
computed yet, it will be computed on the spot, and that will usually
require accessing the target's memory and registers, which requires
remote accesses.  If the remote connection closes while we're
computing the frame ID, the remote target exits its inferiors,
unpushes itself, and throws a TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error.

If that happens, GDB can currently crash, here:

What happens is that above, we're in dwarf2_frame_this_id, just after
the dwarf2_frame_cache call.  The "cache" variable that the
dwarf2_frame_cache function returned is already stale.  It's been
released here, from within the dwarf2_frame_cache:

Note that remote_target::readchar in frame #4 throws
TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR after the remote_unpush_target in frame #3 returns.

The problem is that the TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR is swallowed by
value_optimized_out in frame #25.

If we fix that one, then we run into dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first
swallowing the exception in frame #30 too.

The attached patch fixes it by making those spots swallow fewer kinds
of errors.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* frame-tailcall.c (dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first): Only swallow
	NO_ENTRY_VALUE_ERROR / MEMORY_ERROR / OPTIMIZED_OUT_ERROR /
	NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR.
	* value.c (value_optimized_out): Only swallow MEMORY_ERROR /
	OPTIMIZED_OUT_ERROR / NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR.

g++ 11.1.0 has a bug where it will emit a negative
DW_AT_data_member_location in some cases:

    $ cat test.cpp
    #include <memory>

    int
    main()
    {
      std::unique_ptr<int> ptr;
    }
    $ g++ -g test.cpp
    $ llvm-dwarfdump -F a.out
    ...
    0x00000964:       DW_TAG_member
                        DW_AT_name [DW_FORM_strp]   ("_M_head_impl")
                        DW_AT_decl_file [DW_FORM_data1]     ("/usr/include/c++/11.1.0/tuple")
                        DW_AT_decl_line [DW_FORM_data1]     (125)
                        DW_AT_decl_column [DW_FORM_data1]   (0x27)
                        DW_AT_type [DW_FORM_ref4]   (0x0000067a "default_delete<int>")
                        DW_AT_data_member_location [DW_FORM_sdata]  (-1)
    ...

This leads to a GDB crash (when built with ASan, otherwise probably
garbage results), since it tries to read just before (to the left, in
ASan speak) of the value's buffer:

Since there are some binaries with this in the wild, I think it would be
useful for GDB to work around this.  I did the obvious simple thing, if
the DW_AT_data_member_location's value is -1, replace it with 0.  I
added a producer check to only apply this fixup for GCC 11.  The idea is
that if some other compiler ever uses a DW_AT_data_member_location value
of -1 by mistake, we don't know (before analyzing the bug at least) if
they did mean 0 or some other value.  So I wouldn't want to apply the
fixup in that case.

    Change how Python architecture and language are handled

we see a failure in gdb.threads/killed-outside.exp:

This is not a regression but a failure due to a change in GDB's

Commit 1da5d0e eliminated the call to 'get_current_arch'
in 'gdbpy_before_prompt_hook'.  Hence, the second instance of
"Couldn't get registers: No such process." does not appear anymore.

Fix the failure by updating the regular expression in the test.

…ync."

Commit 14b3360 ("do_target_wait_1: Clear
TARGET_WNOHANG if the target isn't async.") broke some multi-target
tests, such as gdb.multi/multi-target-info-inferiors.exp.  The symptom
is that execution just hangs at some point.  What happens is:

1. One remote inferior is started, and now sits stopped at a breakpoint.
   It is not "async" at this point (but it "can async").

2. We run a native inferior, the event loop gets woken up by the native
   target's fd.

3. In do_target_wait, we randomly choose an inferior to call target_wait
   on first, it happens to be the remote inferior.

4. Because the target is currently not "async", we clear
   TARGET_WNOHANG, resulting in synchronous wait.  We therefore block
   here:

Before the aforementioned commit, we would not have cleared
TARGET_WNOHANG, the remote target's wait would have returned nothing,
and we would have consumed the native target's event.

After applying this revert, the testsuite state looks as good as before
for me on Ubuntu 20.04 amd64.

Commit 152a174 ("gdb: prune inferiors at end of
fetch_inferior_event, fix intermittent failure of
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp") broke some tests with the
native-gdbserver board, such as:

    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: detach-on-fork=off: follow-fork=child: break cond on target : vfork: break marker
    continue^M
    Continuing.^M
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'^M

I can manually reproduce the issue by running (just the commands that
the test does as a one liner):

    $ ./gdb -q --data-directory=data-directory \
          testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-syscall/step-over-vfork \
	  -ex "tar rem | ../gdbserver/gdbserver - testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-syscall/step-over-vfork" \
	  -ex "b main" \
	  -ex c \
	  -ex "d 1" \
	  -ex "set displaced-stepping off" \
	  -ex "b *0x7ffff7d7ac5a if main == 0" \
	  -ex "set detach-on-fork off" \
	  -ex "set follow-fork-mode child" \
	  -ex c \
	  -ex "inferior 1" \
	  -ex "b marker" \
	  -ex c

... where 0x7ffff7d7ac5a is the exact address of the vfork syscall
(which can be found by looking at gdb.log).

The important part of the above is that a vfork syscall creates inferior
2, then inferior 2 executes until exit, then we switch back to inferior
1 and try to resume it.

The uncaught exception happens here:

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'

What happens is:

 - After doing the "continue" on inferior 1, the remote target gives us
   a VFORK_DONE event.  The core ignores it and resumes inferior 1.
 - Since prune_inferiors is now called after each handled event, in
   fetch_inferior_event, it is called after we handled that VFORK_DONE
   event and resumed inferior 1.
 - Inferior 2 is pruned, which (see backtrace above) causes its program
   space to be deleted, which clears the symtabs for that program space,
   which calls the new_objfile observable and remote_new_objfile
   observer (with a nullptr objfile, to indicate that the previously
   loaded symbols have been discarded), which calls
   remote_check_symbols.

remote_check_symbols is the function that sends the qSymbol packet, to
let the remote side ask for symbol addresses.  The problem is that the
remote target is working in all-stop / sync mode and is currently
resumed.  It has sent a vCont packet to resume the target and is waiting
for a stop reply.  It can't send any packets in the mean time.  That
causes the exception to be thrown.

This wasn't a problem before, when prune_inferiors was called in
normal_stop, because it was always called at a time the target was not
resumed.

An important observation here is that the new_objfile observable is
invoked for a change in inferior 2's program space (inferior 2's program
space is the current program space).  Inferior 2 isn't bound to any
process on the remote side (it has exited, that's why it's being
pruned).  It doesn't make sense to try to send a qSymbol packet for a
process that doesn't exist on the remote side.  remote_check_symbols
actually attempts to avoid that:

   /* The remote side has no concept of inferiors that aren't running
     yet, it only knows about running processes.  If we're connected
     but our current inferior is not running, we should not invite the
     remote target to request symbol lookups related to its
     (unrelated) current process.  */
  if (!target_has_execution ())
    return;

The problem here is that while inferior 2's program space is the current
program space, inferior 1 is the current inferior.  So the check above
passes, since inferior has execution.  We therefore try to send a
qSymbol packet for inferior 1 in reaction to a change in inferior 2's
program space, that's wrong.

This exposes a conceptual flaw in remote_new_objfile.  The "new_objfile"
event concerns a specific program space, which can concern multiple
inferiors, as inferiors can share a program space.  We shouldn't
consider the current inferior at all, but instead all inferiors bound to
the affected program space.  Especially since the current inferior can
be unrelated to the current program space at that point.

To be clear, we are in this state because ~program_space sets itself as
the current program space, but there is no more inferior having that
program space to switch to, inferior 2 has already been unlinked.

To fix this, make remote_new_objfile iterate on all inferiors bound to
the affected program space.  Remove the target_has_execution check from
remote_check_symbols, replace it with an assert.  All callers must
ensure that the current inferior has execution before calling it.

Luis noticed that the recent changes to gdbserver to make it track
process and threads independently regressed a few gdb.multi/*.exp
tests for aarch64-linux.

We started seeing the following internal error for
gdb.multi/multi-target-continue.exp for example:

 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M
 further debugging may prove unreliable.

This sequence of functions is invoked due to a series of conditions:

 1 - The probe-based breakpoint mechanism failed (for some reason) so ...

 2 - ... gdbserver has to know what type of architecture it is dealing
     with so it can pick the right breakpoint kind, so it wants to
     check if we have a 64-bit target.

 3 - To determine the size of a register, we currently fetch the
     current thread's register cache, and the current thread pointer
     is now nullptr.

In #3, the current thread is nullptr because gdb_read_memory clears it
on purpose, via set_desired_process, exactly to expose code relying on
the current thread when it shouldn't.  It was always possible to end
up in this situation (when the current thread exits), but it was
harder to reproduce before.

This commit fixes it by tweaking is_64bit_tdesc to look at the current
process's tdesc instead of the current thread's tdesc.

Note that the thread's tdesc is itself filled from the process's
tdesc, so this should be equivalent:

 struct regcache *
 get_thread_regcache (struct thread_info *thread, int fetch)
 {
   struct regcache *regcache;

   regcache = thread_regcache_data (thread);

 ...
   if (regcache == NULL)
     {
       struct process_info *proc = get_thread_process (thread);

       gdb_assert (proc->tdesc != NULL);

       regcache = new_register_cache (proc->tdesc);
       set_thread_regcache_data (thread, regcache);
     }
 ...

The problem is that the type that gets passed down to
dwarf_expr_context::fetch_result (the type of a variable of which we're
trying to read the entry value) is a typedef whose size has never been
computed yet (check_typedef has never been called on it).  As we get in
the DWARF_VALUE_STACK case (line 1028 of dwarf2/expr.c), the `len`
variable is therefore set to 0, instead of the actual type length.  We
then call allocate_value on subobj_type, which does call check_typedef,
so the length of the typedef gets filled in at that point.  We end up
passing to the copy function a source array view of length 0 and a
target array view of length 4, and the assertion fails.

Fix this by calling check_typedef on both type and subobj_type at the
beginning of fetch_result.

I tried writing a test for this using the DWARF assembler, but I haven't
succeeded.  It's possible that we need to get into this specific code
path (value_of_dwarf_reg_entry and all) to manage to get to
dwarf_expr_context::fetch_result with a typedef type that has never been
resolved.  In all my attempts, the typedef would always be resolved
already, so the bug wouldn't show up.

As a fallback, I made a gdb.dwarf2 test with compiler-generated .S
files.  I don't particularly like those, but I think it's better than no
test.  The .cpp source code is the smallest reproducer I am able to make
from the reproducer given in the bug (thanks to Pedro for suggestions on
how to minimize it further than I had).  Since I tested on both amd64
and aarch64, I added versions of the test for these two architectures.

When a GDB built with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1 reads a binary with a single
character name, we hit this assertion failure:

    $ ./gdb -q --data-directory=data-directory -nx ./x

The problem is this line in path_join:

    gdb_assert (strlen (path) == 0 || !IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH (path));

... where `path` is "x".  IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH eventually calls
HAS_DRIVE_SPEC_1:

    #define HAS_DRIVE_SPEC_1(dos_based, f)                  \
      ((f)[0] && ((f)[1] == ':') && (dos_based))

This macro accesses indices 0 and 1 of the input string.  However, `f`
is a string_view of length 1, so it's incorrect to try to access index
1.  We know that the string_view's underlying object is a null-terminated
string, so in practice there's no harm.  But as far as the string_view
is concerned, index 1 is considered out of bounds.

This patch makes the easy fix, that is to change the path_join parameter
from a vector of to a vector of `const char *`.  Another solution would
be to introduce a non-standard gdb::cstring_view class, which would be a
view over a null-terminated string.  With that class, it would be
correct to access index 1, it would yield the NUL character.  If there
is interest in having this class (it has been mentioned a few times in
the past) I can do it and use it here.

This was found by running tests such as gdb.ada/arrayidx.exp, which
produce 1-char long filenames, so adding a new test is not necessary.

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.

Note the "attach" command just above.  When doing it on the command-line

The internal error of GDB is actually caused by GDBserver crashing, and
the error recovery of GDB is not on point.  This patch aims to fix just
the GDBserver crash, not the GDB problem.

GDBserver crashes with a segfault here:

The reason is a wrong current process when find_one_thread is called.
The current process is the 2nd one, which was just attached.  It does
not yet have thread_db data (proc->priv->thread_db is nullptr).  As we
iterate on all threads of all process to fulfull the qxfer:threads:read
request, we get to a thread of process 1 for which we haven't read
thread_db information yet (lwp_info::thread_known is false), so we get
into find_one_thread.  find_one_thread uses
`current_process ()->priv->thread_db`, assuming the current process
matches the ptid passed as a parameter, which is wrong.  A segfault
happens when trying to dereference that thread_db pointer.

Fix this by making find_one_thread not assume what the current process /
current thread is.  If it needs to call into libthread_db, which we know
will try to read memory from the current process, then temporarily set
the current process.

In the case where the thread is already know and we return early, we
don't need to switch process.

Add a test to reproduce this specific situation.

This commit changes the target_stack class from using a C style array
of 'target_ops *' to using a C++ std::array<target_ops_ref, ...>.  The
benefit of this change is that some of the reference counting of
target_ops objects is now done automatically.

This commit fixes a crash in gdb.python/py-inferior.exp where GDB
crashes at exit, leaving a core file behind.

The crash occurs in connpy_connection_dealloc, and is actually
triggered by this assert:

gdb_assert (conn_obj->target == nullptr);

Now a little aside...

    ... the assert is never actually printed, instead GDB crashes due
    to calling a pure virtual function.  The backtrace at the point of
    crash looks like this:

      #7  0x00007fef7e2cf747 in std::terminate() () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6
      #8  0x00007fef7e2d0515 in __cxa_pure_virtual () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6

      #11 0x0000000000de2381 in target_ops::beneath (this=0x2bda270 <the_dummy_target>) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:3047
      #12 0x0000000000de68aa in target_ops::supports_terminal_ours (this=0x2bda270 <the_dummy_target>) at ../../src/gd>
      #13 0x0000000000dde6b9 in target_supports_terminal_ours () at ../../src/gdb/target.c:1112
      #14 0x0000000000ee55f1 in internal_vproblem(internal_problem *, const char *, int, const char *, typedef __va_li>

    Notice in frame #12 we called target_ops::supports_terminal_ours,
    however, this is the_dummy_target, which is of type dummy_target,
    and so we should have called dummy_target::supports_terminal_ours.
    I believe the reason we ended up in the wrong implementation of
    supports_terminal_ours (which is a virtual function) is because we
    made the call during GDB's shut-down, and, I suspect, the vtables
    were in a weird state.

    Anyway, the point of this patch is not to fix GDB's ability to
    print an assert during exit, but to address the root cause of the
    assert.  With that aside out of the way, we can return to the main
    story...

Connections are represented in Python with gdb.TargetConnection
objects (or its sub-classes).  The assert in question confirms that
when a gdb.TargetConnection is deallocated, the underlying GDB
connection has itself been removed from GDB.  If this is not true then
we risk creating multiple different gdb.TargetConnection objects for
the same connection, which would be bad.

To ensure that we have one gdb.TargetConnection object for each
connection, the all_connection_objects map exists, this maps the
process_stratum_target object (the connection) to the
gdb.TargetConnection object that represents the connection.

When a connection is removed in GDB the connection_removed observer
fires, which we catch with connpy_connection_removed, this function
then sets conn_obj->target to nullptr, and removes the corresponding
entry from the all_connection_objects map.

The first issue here is that connpy_connection_dealloc is being called
as part of GDB's exit code, which is run after the Python interpreter
has been shut down.  The connpy_connection_dealloc function is used to
deallocate the gdb.TargetConnection Python object.  Surely it is
wrong for us to be deallocating Python objects after the interpreter
has been shut down.

The reason why connpy_connection_dealloc is called during GDB's exit
is that the global all_connection_objects map is still holding a
reference to the gdb.TargetConnection object.  When the map is
destroyed during GDB's exit, the gdb.TargetConnection objects within
the map can finally be deallocated.

The reason why all_connection_objects has contents when GDB exits, and
the reason the assert fires, is that, when GDB exits, there are still
some connections that have not yet been removed from GDB, that is,
they have a non-zero reference count.

If we take a look at quit_force (top.c) you can see that, for each
inferior, we call pop_all_targets before we (later in the function)
call do_final_cleanups.  It is the do_final_cleanups call that is
responsible for shutting down the Python interpreter.  The
pop_all_targets calls should, in theory, cause all the connections to
be removed from GDB.

That this isn't working indicates that some targets have a non-zero
reference count even after this final pop_all_targets call, and
indeed, when I debug GDB, that is what I see.

I tracked the problem down to delete_inferior where we do some house
keeping, and then delete the inferior object, which calls
inferior::~inferior.

In neither delete_inferior or inferior::~inferior do we call
pop_all_targets, and it is this missing call that means we leak some
references to the target_ops objects on the inferior's target_stack.

In this commit I will provide a partial fix for the problem.  I say
partial fix, but this will actually be enough to resolve the crash.
In a later commit I will provide the final part of the fix.

As mentioned at the start of the commit message, this commit changes
the m_stack in target_stack to hold target_ops_ref objects.  This
means that when inferior::~inferior is called, and m_stack is
released, we automatically decrement the target_ops reference count.
With this change in place we no longer leak any references, and now,
in quit_force the final pop_all_targets calls will release the final
references.  This means that the targets will be correctly closed at
this point, which means the connections will be removed from GDB and
the Python objects deallocated before the Python interpreter shuts
down.

There's a slight oddity in target_stack::unpush, where we std::move
the reference out of m_stack like this:

  auto ref = std::move (m_stack[stratum]);

the `ref' isn't used explicitly, but it serves to hold the
target_ops_ref until the end of the scope while allowing the m_stack
entry to be reset back to nullptr.  The alternative would be to
directly set the m_stack entry to nullptr, like this:

  m_stack[stratum] = nullptr;

The problem here is that when we set the m_stack entry to nullptr we
first decrement the target_ops reference count, and then set the array
entry to nullptr.

If the decrement means that the target_ops object reaches a zero
reference count then the target_ops object will be closed by calling
target_close.  In target_close we ensure that the target being closed
is not in any inferiors target_stack.

As we decrement before clearing, then this check in target_close will
fail, and an assert will trigger.

By using std::move to move the reference out of m_stack, this clears
the m_stack entry, meaning the inferior no longer contains the
target_ops in its target_stack.  Now when the REF object goes out of
scope and the reference count is decremented, target_close can run
successfully.

I've made use of the Python connection_removed listener API to add a
test for this issue.  The test installs a listener and then causes
delete_inferior to be called, we can then see that the connection is
then correctly removed (because the listener triggers).

…ames to the frame cache

The test gdb.base/frame-view.exp fails like this on AArch64:

    frame^M
    #0  baz (z1=hahaha, /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/value.c:4056: internal-error: value_fetch_lazy_register: Assertion `next_frame != NULL' failed.^M
    A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M
    further debugging may prove unreliable.^M
    FAIL: gdb.base/frame-view.exp: with_pretty_printer=true: frame (GDB internal error)

The sequence of events leading to this is the following:

 - When we create the user frame (the "select-frame view" command), we
   create a sentinel frame just for our user-created frame, in
   create_new_frame.  This sentinel frame has the same id as the regular
   sentinel frame.

 - When printing the frame, after doing the "select-frame view" command,
   the argument's pretty printer is invoked, which does an inferior
   function call (this is the point of the test).  This clears the frame
   cache, including the "real" sentinel frame, which sets the
   sentinel_frame global to nullptr.

 - Later in the frame-printing process (when printing the second
   argument), the auto-reinflation mechanism re-creates the user frame
   by calling create_new_frame again, creating its own special sentinel
   frame again.  However, note that the "real" sentinel frame, the
   sentinel_frame global, is still nullptr.  If the selected frame had
   been a regular frame, we would have called get_current_frame at some
   point during the reinflation, which would have re-created the "real"
   sentinel frame.  But it's not the case when reinflating a user frame.

 - Deep down the stack, something wants to fill in the unwind stop
   reason for frame 0, which requires trying to unwind frame 1.  This
   leads us to trying to unwind the PC of frame 1:

 - AArch64 defines a special "prev register" function,
   aarch64_dwarf2_prev_register, to handle unwinding the PC.  This
   function does

     frame_unwind_register_unsigned (this_frame, AARCH64_LR_REGNUM);

 - frame_unwind_register_unsigned ultimately creates a lazy register
   value, saving the frame id of this_frame->next.  this_frame is the
   user-created frame, to this_frame->next is the special sentinel frame
   we created for it.  So the saved ID is the sentinel frame ID.

 - When time comes to un-lazify the value, value_fetch_lazy_register
   calls frame_find_by_id, to find the frame with the ID we saved.

 - frame_find_by_id sees it's the sentinel frame ID, so returns the
   sentinel_frame global, which is, if you remember, nullptr.

 - We hit the `gdb_assert (next_frame != NULL)` assertion in
   value_fetch_lazy_register.

The issues I see here are:

 - The ID of the sentinel frame created for the user-created frame is
   not distinguishable from the ID of the regular sentinel frame.  So
   there's no way frame_find_by_id could find the right frame, in
   value_fetch_lazy_register.
 - Even if they had distinguishable IDs, sentinel frames created for
   user frames are not registered anywhere, so there's no easy way
   frame_find_by_id could find it.

This patch addresses these two issues:

 - Give sentinel frames created for user frames their own distinct IDs
 - Register sentinel frames in the frame cache, so they can be found
   with frame_find_by_id.

I initially had this split in two patches, but I then found that it was
easier to explain as a single patch.

Rergarding the first part of the change: with this patch, the sentinel
frames created for user frames (in create_new_frame) still have
stack_status == FID_STACK_SENTINEL, but their code_addr and stack_addr
fields are now filled with the addresses used to create the user frame.
This ensures this sentinel frame ID is different from the "target"
sentinel frame ID, as well as any other "user" sentinel frame ID.  If
the user tries to create the same frame, with the same addresses,
multiple times, create_sentinel_frame just reuses the existing frame.
So we won't end up with multiple user sentinels with the same ID.

Regular "target" sentinel frames remain with code_addr and stack_addr
unset.

The concrete changes for that part are:

 - Remove the sentinel_frame_id constant, since there isn't one
   "sentinel frame ID" now.  Add the frame_id_build_sentinel function
   for building sentinel frame IDs and a is_sentinel_frame_id function
   to check if a frame id represents a sentinel frame.
 - Replace the sentinel_frame_id check in frame_find_by_id with a
   comparison to `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)`.  The sentinel_frame
   global is meant to contain a reference to the "target" sentinel, so
   the one with addresses (0, 0).
 - Add stack and code address parameters to create_sentinel_frame, to be
   able to create the various types of sentinel frames.
 - Adjust get_current_frame to create the regular "target" sentinel.
 - Adjust create_new_frame to create a sentinel with the ID specific to
   the created user frame.
 - Adjust sentinel_frame_prev_register to get the sentinel frame ID from
   the frame_info object, since there isn't a single "sentinel frame ID"
   now.
 - Change get_next_frame_sentinel_okay to check for a
   sentinel-frame-id-like frame ID, rather than for sentinel_frame
   specifically, since this function could be called with another
   sentinel frame (and we would want the assert to catch it).

The rest of the change is about registering the sentinel frame in the
frame cache:

 - Change frame_stash_add's assertion to allow sentinel frame levels
   (-1).
 - Make create_sentinel_frame add the frame to the frame cache.
 - Change the "sentinel_frame != NULL" check in reinit_frame_cache for a
   check that the frame stash is not empty.  The idea is that if we only
   have some user-created frames in the cache when reinit_frame_cache is
   called, we probably want to emit the frames invalid annotation.  The
   goal of that check is to avoid unnecessary repeated annotations, I
   suppose, so the "frame cache not empty" check should achieve that.

After this change, I think we could theoritically get rid of the
sentienl_frame global.  That sentinel frame could always be found by
looking up `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)` in the frame cache.
However, I left the global there to avoid slowing the typical case down
for nothing.  I however, noted in its comment that it is an
optimization.

With this fix applied, the gdb.base/frame-view.exp now passes for me on
AArch64.  value_of_register_lazy now saves the special sentinel frame ID
in the value, and value_fetch_lazy_register is able to find that
sentinel frame after the frame cache reinit and after the user-created
frame was reinflated.

Tom de Vries reported [1] a regression in gdb.btrace/record_goto.exp
caused by 6d3717d ("gdb: call frame unwinders' dealloc_cache methods
through destroying the frame cache").  This issue is caught by ASan.  On
a non-ASan build, it may or may not cause a crash or some other issue, I
haven't tried.

I managed to narrow it down to:

    $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.btrace/record_goto/record_goto -ex "start" -ex "record btrace" -ex "next"

... and then doing repeatedly "record goto 19" and "record goto 27".
Eventually, I get:

The problem is a stale entry in the bfcache hash table (in
record-btrace.c), left across a reinit_frame_cache.  This entry points
to something that used to be allocated on the frame obstack, that has
since been wiped by reinit_frame_cache.

Before the aforementioned, unwinder deallocation functions were called
by iterating on the frame chain, starting with the sentinel frame, like
so:

  /* Tear down all frame caches.  */
  for (frame_info *fi = sentinel_frame; fi != NULL; fi = fi->prev)
    {
      if (fi->prologue_cache && fi->unwind->dealloc_cache)
	fi->unwind->dealloc_cache (fi, fi->prologue_cache);
      if (fi->base_cache && fi->base->unwind->dealloc_cache)
	fi->base->unwind->dealloc_cache (fi, fi->base_cache);
    }

After that patch, we relied on the fact that all frames are (supposedly)
in the frame_stash.  A deletion function was added to the frame_stash
hash table, so that dealloc functions would be called when emptying the
frame stash.  There is one case, however, where a frame_info is not in
the frame stash.  That is when we create the frame_info for the current
frame (level 0, unwound from the sentinel frame), but don't compute its
frame id.  The computation of the frame id for that frame (and only that
frame, AFAIK) is done lazily.  And putting a frame_info in the frame stash
requires knowing its id.  So a frame 0 whose frame id is not computed
yet is necessarily not in the frame stash.

When replaying with btrace, record_btrace_frame_sniffer insert entries
corresponding to frames in the "bfcache" hash table.  It then relies on
record_btrace_frame_dealloc_cache being called for each frame to remove
all those entries when the frames get invalidated.  If a frame reinit
happens while frame 0's id is not computed  (and therefore that frame is
not in frame_stash), record_btrace_frame_dealloc_cache does not get
called for it, and it leaves a stale entry in bfcache.  That then leads
to a use-after-free when that entry is accessed later, which ASan
catches.

The proposed solution is to explicitly call frame_info_del on frame 0,
if it exists, and if its frame id is not computed.  If its frame id is
computed, it is expected that it will be in the frame stash, so it will
be "deleted" through that.

I noticed that if Ctrl-C was typed just while GDB is evaluating a
breakpoint condition in the background, and GDB ends up reaching out
to the Python interpreter, then the breakpoint condition would still
fail, like:

  c&
  Continuing.
  (gdb) Error in testing breakpoint condition:
  Quit

That happens because while evaluating the breakpoint condition, we
enter Python, and end up calling PyErr_SetInterrupt (it's called by
gdbpy_set_quit_flag, in frame #0):

The fix is to disable cooperative SIGINT handling while handling
inferior events, so that SIGINT is saved in the global quit flag, and
not in the extension language, while handling an event.

This commit augments the testcase added by the previous commit to test
this scenario as well.

In some cases GDB will fail when attempting to complete a command that
involves a rust symbol, the failure can manifest as a crash.

The problem is caused by the completion_match_for_lcd object being
left containing invalid data during calls to cp_symbol_name_matches_1.

The first question to address is why we are calling a C++ support
function when handling a rust symbol.  That's due to GDB's auto
language detection for msymbols, in some cases GDB can't tell if a
symbol is a rust symbol, or a C++ symbol.

The test application contains symbols for functions which are
statically linked in from various rust support libraries.  There's no
DWARF for these symbols, so all GDB has is the msymbols built from the
ELF symbol table.

Here's the problematic symbol that leads to our crash:

    mangled: _ZN4core3str21_$LT$impl$u20$str$GT$5parse17h5111d2d6a50d22bdE
  demangled: core::str::<impl str>::parse

As an msymbol this is initially created with language auto, then GDB
eventually calls symbol_find_demangled_name, which loops over all
languages calling language_defn::sniff_from_mangled_name, the first
language that can demangle the symbol gets assigned as the language
for that symbol.

Unfortunately, there's overlap in the mangled symbol names,
some (legacy) rust symbols can be demangled as both rust and C++, see
cplus_demangle in libiberty/cplus-dem.c where this is mentioned.

And so, because we check the C++ language before we check for rust,
then the msymbol is (incorrectly) given the C++ language.

Now it's true that is some cases we might be able to figure out that a
demangled symbol is not actually a valid C++ symbol, for example, in
our case, the construct '::<impl str>::' is not, I believe, valid in a
C++ symbol, we could look for ':<' and '>:' and refuse to accept this
as a C++ symbol.

However, I'm not sure it is always possible to tell that a demangled
symbol is rust or C++, so, I think, we have to accept that some times
we will get this language detection wrong.

If we accept that we can't fix the symbol language detection 100% of
the time, then we should make sure that GDB doesn't crash when it gets
the language wrong, that is what this commit addresses.

In our test case the user tries to complete a symbol name like this:

  (gdb) complete break pars

This results in GDB trying to find all symbols that match 'pars',
eventually we consider our problematic symbol, and we end up with a
call stack that looks like this:

  #0  0x0000000000f3c6bd in strncmp_iw_with_mode
  #1  0x0000000000706d8d in cp_symbol_name_matches_1

  #4  0x0000000000df3c91 in completion_list_add_name
  #5  0x0000000000df3f1d in completion_list_add_msymbol
  #6  0x0000000000df4c94 in default_collect_symbol_completion_matches_break_on
  #7  0x0000000000658c08 in language_defn::collect_symbol_completion_matches
  #8  0x0000000000df54c9 in collect_symbol_completion_matches
  #9  0x00000000009d98fb in linespec_complete_function

  #12 0x00000000006e4132 in complete_address_and_linespec_locations
  #13 0x00000000006e4ac3 in location_completer

In cp_symbol_name_matches_1 we enter a loop, this loop repeatedly
tries to match the demangled problematic symbol name against the user
supplied text ('pars').  Each time around the loop another component
of the symbol name is stripped off, thus, we check 'pars' against
these options:

  core::str::<impl str>::parse
  str::<impl str>::parse
  <impl str>::parse
  parse

As soon as we get a match the cp_symbol_name_matches_1 exits its loop
and returns.  In our case, when we're looking for 'pars', the match
occurs on the last iteration of the loop, when we are comparing to
'parse'.

Now the problem here is that cp_symbol_name_matches_1 uses the
strncmp_iw_with_mode, and inside strncmp_iw_with_mode we allow for
skipping over template parameters.  This allows GDB to match the
symbol name 'foo<int>(int,int)' if the user supplies 'foo(int,'.
Inside strncmp_iw_with_mode GDB will record any template arguments
that it has skipped over inside the completion_match_for_lcd object
that is passed in as an argument.

And so, when GDB tries to match against '<impl str>::parse', the first
thing it sees is '<impl str>', GDB assumes this is a template argument
and records this as a skipped region within the
completion_match_for_lcd object.  After '<impl str>' GDB sees a ':'
character, which doesn't match with the 'pars' the user supplied, so
strncmp_iw_with_mode returns a value indicating a non-match.  GDB then
removes the '<impl str>' component from the symbol name and tries
again, this time comparing to 'parse', which does match.

Having found a match, then in cp_symbol_name_matches_1 we record the
match string, and the full symbol name within the
completion_match_result object, and return.

The problem here is that the skipped region, the '<impl str>' that we
recorded in the penultimate loop iteration was never discarded, its
still there in our returned result.

If we look at what the pointers held in the completion_match_result
that cp_symbol_name_matches_1 returns, this is what we see:

  core::str::<impl str>::parse
  |          \________/  |
  |               |      '--- completion match string
  |               '---skip range
  '--- full symbol name

When GDB calls completion_match_for_lcd::finish, GDB tries to create a
string using the completion match string (parse), but excluding the
skip range, as the stored skip range is before the start of the
completion match string, then GDB tries to do some weird string
creation, which will cause GDB to crash.

The reason we don't often see this problem in C++ is that for C++
symbols there is always some non-template text before the template
argument.  This non-template text means GDB is likely to either match
the symbol, or reject the symbol without storing a skip range.

However, notice, I did say, we don't often see this problem.  Once I
understood the issue, I was able to reproduce the crash using a pure
C++ example:

  template<typename S>
  struct foo
  {
    template<typename T>
    foo (int p1, T a)
    {
      s = 0;
    }

    S s;
  };

  int
  main ()
  {
    foo<int> obj (2.3, 0);
    return 0;
  }

Then in GDB:

  (gdb) complete break foo(int

The problem here is that the C++ symbol for the constructor looks like
this:

  foo<int>::foo<double>(int, double)

When GDB enters cp_symbol_name_matches_1 the symbols it examines are:

  foo<int>::foo<double>(int, double)
  foo<double>(int, double)

The first iteration of the loop will match the 'foo', then add the
'<int>' template argument will be added as a skip range.  When GDB
find the ':' after the '<int>' the first iteration of the loop fails
to match, GDB removes the 'foo<int>::' component, and starts the
second iteration of the loop.

Again, GDB matches the 'foo', and now adds '<double>' as a skip
region.  After that the '(int' successfully matches, and so the second
iteration of the loop succeeds, but, once again we left the '<int>' in
place as a skip region, even though this occurs before the start of
our match string, and this will cause GDB to crash.

This problem was reported to the mailing list, and a solution
discussed in this thread:

  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-January/195166.html

The solution proposed here is similar to one proposed by the original
bug reported, but implemented in a different location within GDB.
Instead of placing the fix in strncmp_iw_with_mode, I place the fix in
cp_symbol_name_matches_1.  I believe this is a better location as it
is this function that implements the loop, and it is this loop, which
repeatedly calls strncmp_iw_with_mode, that should be resetting the
result object state (I believe).

What I have done is add an assert to strncmp_iw_with_mode that the
incoming result object is empty.

I've also added some other asserts in related code, in
completion_match_for_lcd::mark_ignored_range, I make some basic
assertions about the incoming range pointers, and in
completion_match_for_lcd::finish I also make some assertions about how
the skip ranges relate to the match pointer.

There's two new tests.  The original rust example that was used in the
initial bug report, and a C++ test.  The rust example depends on which
symbols are pulled in from the rust libraries, so it is possible that,
at some future date, the problematic symbol will disappear from this
test program.  The C++ test should be more reliable, as this only
depends on symbols from within the C++ source code.

Since I originally posted this patch to the mailing list, the
following patch has been merged:

  commit 6e7eef7
  Date:   Sun Mar 19 09:13:10 2023 -0600

      Use rust_demangle to fix a crash

This solves the problem of a rust symbol ending up in the C++ specific
code by changing the order languages are sorted.  However, this new
commit doesn't address the issue in the C++ code which was fixed with
this commit.

Given that the C++ issue is real, and has a reproducer, I'm still
going to merge this fix.  I've left the discussion of rust in this
commit message as I originally wrote it, but it should be read within
the context of GDB prior to commit 6e7eef7.

Commit 7a8de0c ("Remove ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFE") introduced a
use-after-free in the breakpoints iterations (see below for full ASan
report).  This makes gdb.base/stale-infcall.exp fail when GDB is build
with ASan.

check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy iterates on all breakpoints,
possibly deleting the current breakpoint as well as related breakpoints.
The problem arises when a breakpoint in the B->related_breakpoint chain
is also B->next.  In that case, deleting that related breakpoint frees
the breakpoint that all_breakpoints_safe has saved.

The old code worked around that by manually changing B_TMP, which was
the next breakpoint saved by the "safe iterator":

	while (b->related_breakpoint != b)
	  {
	    if (b_tmp == b->related_breakpoint)
	      b_tmp = b->related_breakpoint->next;
	    delete_breakpoint (b->related_breakpoint);
	  }

(Note that this seemed to assume that b->related_breakpoint->next was
the same as b->next->next, not sure this is guaranteed.)

The new code kept the B_TMP variable, but it's not useful in that
context.  We can't go change the next breakpoint as saved by the safe
iterator, like we did before.  I suggest fixing that by saving the
breakpoints to delete in a map and deleting them all at the end.

Here's the full ASan report:

The problem is in cli/cli-cmds.c, in the function setting_cmd, where
we do this:

  const char *a0 = (const char *) argv[0]->contents ().data ();

Here argv[0] is a value* which we know is either a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY or
a TYPE_CODE_STRING.  The problem is that the above line is casting the
value contents directly to a C-string, i.e. one that is assumed to
have a null-terminator at the end.

After the above commit this can no longer be assumed to be true.  A
string value will be represented just as it would be in the current
language, so for Ada and Fortran the string will be an array of
characters with no null-terminator at the end.

My proposed solution is to copy the string contents into a std::string
object, and then use the std::string::c_str() value, this will ensure
that a null-terminator has been added.

I had a check through GDB at places TYPE_CODE_STRING was used and
couldn't see any other obvious places where this type of assumption
was being made, so hopefully this is the only offender.

Running the above test with ASan compiled in no longer gives an error.

While working on a later patch, which changes gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp,
I noticed that sometimes I would hit this assert:

  x86_linux_update_debug_registers: Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed.

I eventually tracked it down to a combination of schedule-multiple
mode being on, target-non-stop being off, follow-fork-mode being set
to child, and some bad timing.  The failing case is pretty simple, a
single threaded application performs a vfork, the child process then
execs some other application while the parent process (once the vfork
child has completed its exec) just exits.  As best I understand
things, here's what happens when things go wrong:

  1. The parent process performs a vfork, GDB sees the VFORKED event
  and creates an inferior and thread for the vfork child,

  2. GDB resumes the vfork child process.  As schedule-multiple is on
  and target-non-stop is off, this is translated into a request to
  start all processes (see user_visible_resume_ptid),

  3. In the linux-nat layer we spot that one of the threads we are
  about to start is a vfork parent, and so don't start that
  thread (see resume_lwp), the vfork child thread is resumed,

  4. GDB waits for the next event, eventually entering
  linux_nat_target::wait, which in turn calls linux_nat_wait_1,

  5. In linux_nat_wait_1 we eventually call
  resume_stopped_resumed_lwps, this should restart threads that have
  stopped but don't actually have anything interesting to report.

  6. Unfortunately, resume_stopped_resumed_lwps doesn't check for
  vfork parents like resume_lwp does, so at this point the vfork
  parent is resumed.  This feels like the start of the bug, and this
  is where I'm proposing to fix things, but, resuming the vfork parent
  isn't the worst thing in the world because....

  7. As the vfork child is still alive the kernel holds the vfork
  parent stopped,

  8. Eventually the child performs its exec and GDB is sent and EXECD
  event.  However, because the parent is resumed, as soon as the child
  performs its exec the vfork parent also sends a VFORK_DONE event to
  GDB,

  9. Depending on timing both of these events might seem to arrive in
  GDB at the same time.  Normally GDB expects to see the EXECD or
  EXITED/SIGNALED event from the vfork child before getting the
  VFORK_DONE in the parent.  We know this because it is as a result of
  the EXECD/EXITED/SIGNALED that GDB detaches from the parent (see
  handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit for details).  Further the comment
  in target/waitstatus.h on TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE indicates that
  when we remain attached to the child (not the parent) we should not
  expect to see a VFORK_DONE,

  10. If both events arrive at the same time then GDB will randomly
  choose one event to handle first, in some cases this will be the
  VFORK_DONE.  As described above, upon seeing a VFORK_DONE GDB
  expects that (a) the vfork child has finished, however, in this case
  this is not completely true, the child has finished, but GDB has not
  processed the event associated with the completion yet, and (b) upon
  seeing a VFORK_DONE GDB assumes we are remaining attached to the
  parent, and so resumes the parent process,

  11. GDB now handles the EXECD event.  In our case we are detaching
  from the parent, so GDB calls target_detach (see
  handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit),

  12. While this has been going on the vfork parent is executing, and
  might even exit,

  13. In linux_nat_target::detach the first thing we do is stop all
  threads in the process we're detaching from, the result of the stop
  request will be cached on the lwp_info object,

  14. In our case the vfork parent has exited though, so when GDB
  waits for the thread, instead of a stop due to signal, we instead
  get a thread exited status,

  15. Later in the detach process we try to resume the threads just
  prior to making the ptrace call to actually detach (see
  detach_one_lwp), as part of the process to resume a thread we try to
  touch some registers within the thread, and before doing this GDB
  asserts that the thread is stopped,

  16. An exited thread is not classified as stopped, and so the assert
  triggers!

So there's two bugs I see here.  The first, and most critical one here
is in step #6.  I think that resume_stopped_resumed_lwps should not
resume a vfork parent, just like resume_lwp doesn't resume a vfork
parent.

With this change in place the vfork parent will remain stopped in step
instead GDB will only see the EXECD/EXITED/SIGNALLED event.  The
problems in #9 and #10 are therefore skipped and we arrive at #11,
handling the EXECD event.  As the parent is still stopped #12 doesn't
apply, and in #13 when we try to stop the process we will see that it
is already stopped, there's no risk of the vfork parent exiting before
we get to this point.  And finally, in #15 we are safe to poke the
process registers because it will not have exited by this point.

However, I did mention two bugs.

The second bug I've not yet managed to actually trigger, but I'm
convinced it must exist: if we forget vforks for a moment, in step #13
above, when linux_nat_target::detach is called, we first try to stop
all threads in the process GDB is detaching from.  If we imagine a
multi-threaded inferior with many threads, and GDB running in non-stop
mode, then, if the user tries to detach there is a chance that thread
could exit just as linux_nat_target::detach is entered, in which case
we should be able to trigger the same assert.

But, like I said, I've not (yet) managed to trigger this second bug,
and even if I could, the fix would not belong in this commit, so I'm
pointing this out just for completeness.

There's no test included in this commit.  In a couple of commits time
I will expand gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp which is when this bug would be
exposed.  Unfortunately there are at least two other bugs (separate
from the ones discussed above) that need fixing first, these will be
fixed in the next commits before the gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp test is
expanded.

If you do want to reproduce this failure then you will for certainly
need to run the gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp test in a loop as the failures
are all very timing sensitive.  I've found that running multiple
copies in parallel makes the failure more likely to appear, I usually
run ~6 copies in parallel and expect to see a failure after within
10mins.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/index-cache.c:76 in index_cache::enable()
...

The race happens when issuing a "file $exec" command followed by a
"set index-cache enabled on" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread reading index_cache::m_enabled to determine whether an
  index-cache entry for $exec needs to be written
  (due to command "file $exec"), and
- the main thread setting index_cache::m_enabled
  (due to command "set index-cache enabled on").

Fix this by capturing the value of index_cache::m_enabled in the main thread,
and using the captured value in the worker thread.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race bfd/cache.c:584 in bfd_open_file
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread getting the build id while writing the index cache, and in
  the process reading bfd::format, and
- the main thread calling find_main_name, and in the process setting
  bfd::cacheable.

The two bitfields bfd::cacheable and bfd::format share the same bitfield
container.

Fix this by capturing the build id in the main thread, and using the captured
value in the worker thread.

Likewise for the dwz build id, which likely suffers from the same issue.

While we're at it, also move the creation of the cache directory to
the index_cache_store_context constructor, to:
- make sure there's no race between subsequent file commands, and
- issue any related warning or error messages during the file command.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:5564 in queue_comp_unit
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread expanding the CU containing main, and in the process setting
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::queued.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::queue and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::queued a packed<bool, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:21513 in dwarf2_per_cu_data::get_header() const
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
   dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in a packed<bool, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:3077 in dw_expand_symtabs_matching_file_matcher(dwarf2_per_objfile*, gdb::function_view<bool (char const*, bool)>)
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark a packed<unsigned int, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:2033 in dw2_get_file_names_reader
...

The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command.

The race is between:
- a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading
  dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and
- the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read.

The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read and
dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container.

Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read a packed<bool, 1>.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

tromey pushed a commit that referenced this issue Oct 5, 2023
It was pointed out on the mailing list that a recently added
test (gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp) was failing when run with
the native-extended-gdbserver board.  This test was added with this
commit:

  commit 59912fb
  Date:   Tue Sep 19 11:45:36 2023 +0100

      gdb: add Python events for program space addition and removal

It turns out though that the test is failing due to a existing bug
in GDB, the new test just exposes the problem.  Additionally, the
failure really doesn't even rely on the new functionality added in the
above commit.  I reduced the test to a simple set of steps that
reproduced the failure and tested against GDB 13, and the test passes;
so the bug was introduced since then.  In fact, the bug was introduced
with this commit:

  commit a282736
  Date:   Fri Sep 8 15:48:16 2023 +0100

      gdb: remove final user of the executable_changed observer

This commit changed how the per-inferior auxv data cache is managed,
specifically, when the cache is cleared, and it is this that leads to
the failure.

This bug is interesting because it exposes a number of issues with
GDB, I'll explain all of the problems I see, though ultimately, I only
propose fixing one problem in this commit, which is enough to resolve
the crash we are currently seeing.

The crash that we are seeing manifests like this:

  ...

  Fatal signal: Aborted
  ... etc ...

What's happening is that GDB attempts to refill the auxv cache as a
result of the gdbarch_has_shared_address_space call in
program_space::~program_space, the backtrace looks like this:

So this is problem #1, if we throw an exception while deleting a
program_space then this is not caught, and is going to crash GDB.

Problem #2 becomes evident when we ask why GDB is throwing an error in
this case; the error is thrown because the remote target, operating in
non-async mode, can't read the auxv data while an inferior is running
and GDB is waiting for a stop reply.  The problem here then, is why
does GDB get into a position where it tries to interact with the
remote target in this way, at this time?  The problem is caused by the
prune_inferiors call which can be seen in the above backtrace.

In prune_inferiors we check if the inferior is deletable, and if it
is, we delete it.  The problem is, I think, we should also check if
the target is currently in a state that would allow us to delete the
inferior.  We don't currently have such a check available, we'd need
to add one, but for the remote target, this would return false if the
remote is in async mode and the remote is currently waiting for a stop
reply.  With this change in place GDB would defer deleting the
inferior until the remote target has stopped, at which point GDB would
be able to refill the auxv cache successfully.

And then, problem #3 becomes evident when we ask why GDB is needing to
refill the auxv cache now when it didn't need to for GDB 13.  This is
where the second commit mentioned above (a282736) comes in.
Prior to this commit, the auxv cache was cleared by the
executable_changed observer, while after that commit the auxv cache
was cleared by the new_objfile observer -- but only when the
new_objfile observer is used in the special mode that actually means
that all objfiles have been unloaded (I know, the overloading of the
new_objfile observer is horrible, and unnecessary, but it's not really
important for this bug).

The difference arises because the new_objfile observer is triggered
from clear_symtab_users, which in turn is called from
program_space::~program_space.  The new_objfile observer for auxv does
this:

  static void
  auxv_new_objfile_observer (struct objfile *objfile)
  {
    if (objfile == nullptr)
      invalidate_auxv_cache_inf (current_inferior ());
  }

That is, when all the objfiles are unloaded, we clear the auxv cache
for the current inferior.

The problem is, then when we look at the prune_inferiors ->
delete_inferior -> ~program_space path, we see that the current
inferior is not going to be an inferior that exists within the
program_space being deleted; delete_inferior removes the deleted
inferior from the global inferior list, and then only deletes the
program_space if program_space::empty() returns true, which is only
the case if the current inferior isn't within the program_space to
delete, and no other inferior exists within that program_space
either.

What this means is that when the new_objfile observer is called we
can't rely on the current inferior having any relationship with the
program space in which the objfiles were removed.  This was an error
in the commit a282736, the only thing we can rely on is the
current program space.  As a result of this mistake, after commit
a282736, GDB was sometimes clearing the auxv cache for a random
inferior.  In the native target case this was harmless as we can
always refill the cache when needed, but in the remote target case, if
we need to refill the cache when the remote target is executing, then
we get the crash we observed.

And additionally, if we think about this a little more, we see that
commit a282736 made another mistake.  When all the objfiles are
removed, they are removed from a program_space, a program_space might
contain multiple inferiors, so surely, we should clear the auxv cache
for all of the matching inferiors?

Given these two insights, that the current_inferior is not relevant,
only the current_program_space, and that we should be clearing the
cache for all inferiors in the current_program_space, we can update
auxv_new_objfile_observer to:

  if (objfile == nullptr)
    {
      for (inferior *inf : all_inferiors ())
	{
	  if (inf->pspace == current_program_space)
	    invalidate_auxv_cache_inf (inf);
	}
    }

With this change we now correctly clear the auxv cache for the correct
inferiors, and GDB no longer needs to refill the cache at an
inconvenient time, this avoids the crash we were seeing.

And finally, we reach problem #4.  Inspired by the observation that
using the current_inferior from within the ~program_space function was
not correct, I added some debug to see if current_inferior() was
called anywhere else (below ~program_space), and the answer is yes,
it's called a often.  Mostly the culprit is GDB doing:

  current_inferior ()->top_target ()-> ....

But I think all of these calls are most likely doing the wrong thing,
and only work because the top target in all these cases is shared
between all inferiors, e.g. it's the native target, or the remote
target for all inferiors.  But if we had a truly multi-connection
setup, then we might start to see odd behaviour.

Problem #1 I'm just ignoring for now, I guess at some point we might
run into this again, and then we'd need to solve this.  But in this
case I wasn't sure what a "good" solution would look like.  We need
the auxv data in order to implement the linux_is_uclinux() function.
If we can't get the auxv data then what should we do, assume yes, or
assume no?  The right answer would probably be to propagate the error
back up the stack, but then we reach ~program_space, and throwing
exceptions from a destructor is problematic, so we'd need to catch and
deal at this point.  The linux_is_uclinux() call is made from within
gdbarch_has_shared_address_space(), which is used like:

  if (!gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (target_gdbarch ()))
    delete this->aspace;

So, we would have to choose; delete the address space or not.  If we
delete it on error, then we might delete an address space that is
shared within another program space.  If we don't delete the address
space, then we might leak it.  Neither choice is great.

A better solution might be to have the address spaces be reference
counted, then we could remove the gdbarch_has_shared_address_space
call completely, and just rely on the reference count to auto-delete
the address space when appropriate.

The solution for problem #2 I already hinted at above, we should have
a new target_can_delete_inferiors() call, which should be called from
prune_inferiors, this would prevent GDB from trying to delete
inferiors when a (remote) target is in a state where we know it can't
delete the inferior.  Deleting an inferior often (always?) requires
sending packets to the remote, and if the remote is waiting for a stop
reply then this will never work, so the pruning should be deferred in
this case.

The solution for problem #3 is included in this commit.

And, for problem #4, I'm not sure what the right solution is.  Maybe
delete_inferior should ensure the inferior to be deleted is in place
when ~program_space is called?  But that seems a little weird, as the
current inferior would, in theory, still be using the current
program_space...

Anyway, after this commit, the gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp test
now passes when run with the native-extended-remote board.

tromey pushed a commit that referenced this issue Dec 4, 2023
When using GDB on native linux, it can happen that, while attempting
to detach an inferior, the inferior may have been exited or have been
killed, yet still be in the list of lwps.  Should that happen, the
assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers in
gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c will trigger.  The line in question looks
like this:

  gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp));

For this case, the lwp isn't stopped - it's dead.

The bug which brought this problem to my attention is one in which the
pwntools library uses GDB to to debug a process; as the script is
shutting things down, it kills the process that GDB is debugging and
also sends GDB a SIGTERM signal, which causes GDB to detach all
inferiors prior to exiting.  Here's a link to the bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2192169

The following shell command mimics part of what the pwntools
reproducer script does (with regard to shutting things down), but
reproduces the bug much less reliably.  I have found it necessary to
run the command a bunch of times before seeing the bug.  (I usually
see it within 5-10 repetitions.)  If you choose to try this command,
make sure that you have no running "cat" or "gdb" processes first!

  cat </dev/zero >/dev/null & \
  (sleep 5; (kill -KILL `pgrep cat` & kill -TERM `pgrep gdb`)) & \
  sleep 1 ; \
  gdb -q -iex 'set debuginfod enabled off' -ex 'set height 0' \
      -ex c /usr/bin/cat `pgrep cat`

So, basically, the idea here is to kill both gdb and cat at roughly
the same time.  If we happen to attempt the detach before the process
lwp has been deleted from GDB's (linux native) LWP data structures,
then the assert will trigger.  The relevant part of the backtrace
looks like this:

My colleague, Andrew Burgess, has done some recent work on other
problems with detach.  Upon hearing of this problem, he came up a test
case which reliably reproduces the problem and tests for a few other
problems as well.  In addition to testing detach when the inferior has
terminated due to a signal, it also tests detach when the inferior has
exited normally.  Andrew observed that the linux-native-only
"checkpoint" command would be affected too, so the test also tests
those cases when there's an active checkpoint.

For the LWP exit / termination case with no checkpoint, that's handled
via newly added checks of the waitstatus in detach_one_lwp in
linux-nat.c.

For the checkpoint detach problem, I chose to pass the lwp_info
to linux_fork_detach in linux-fork.c.  With that in place, suitable
tests were added before attempting a PTRACE_DETACH operation.

I added a few asserts at the beginning of linux_fork_detach and
modified the caller code so that the newly added asserts shouldn't
trigger.  (That's what the 'pid == inferior_ptid.pid' check is about
in gdb/linux-nat.c.)

Lastly, I'll note that the checkpoint code needs some work with regard
to background execution.  This patch doesn't attempt to fix that
problem, but it doesn't make it any worse.  It does slightly improve
the situation with detach because, due to the check noted above,
linux_fork_detach() won't be called for the wrong inferior when there
are multiple inferiors.  (There are at least two other problems with
the checkpoint code when there are multiple inferiors.  See:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31065)

This commit also adds a new test,
gdb.base/process-dies-while-detaching.exp.  Andrew Burgess is the
primary author of this test case.  Its design is similar to that of
gdb.threads/main-thread-exit-during-detach.exp, which was also written
by Andrew.

This test checks that GDB correctly handles several cases that can
occur when GDB attempts to detach an inferior process.  The process
can exit or be terminated (e.g.  via SIGKILL) prior to GDB's event
loop getting a chance to remove it from GDB's internal data
structures.  To complicate things even more, detach works differently
when a checkpoint (created via GDB's "checkpoint" command) exists for
the inferior.  This test checks all four possibilities: process exit
with no checkpoint, process termination with no checkpoint, process
exit with a checkpoint, and process termination with a checkpoint.

The direct cause for the coredump seems to be that cli_ui_out::do_message
is trying to write to a stream variable which does not look sound:
...
(gdb) p *stream
$8 = {_vptr.ui_file = 0x0, m_applied_style = {m_foreground = {m_simple = true, {
        m_value = 0, {m_red = 0 '\000', m_green = 0 '\000', m_blue = 0 '\000'}}},
    m_background = {m_simple = 32, {m_value = 65535, {m_red = 255 '\377',
          m_green = 255 '\377', m_blue = 0 '\000'}}},
    m_intensity = (unknown: 0x438fe710), m_reverse = 255}}
...

The string that is being printed is:
...
(gdb) p str
$9 = "Exception in thread "
...
so AFAICT this is a DAP thread running into an exception and trying to print
it.

If we look at the state of gdb's main thread, we have:

AFAIU, there's a race between the two threads on gdb_stderr:
- the DAP thread samples the gdb_stderr value, and uses it a bit later to
  print to
- the gdb main thread changes the gdb_stderr value forth and back,
  using a temporary value for string capture purposes

The non-sound stream value is caused by gdb_stderr being sampled while
pointing to a str_file object, and used once the str_file object is already
destroyed.

The error here is that the DAP thread attempts to print to gdb_stderr.

Fix this by adding a thread_wrapper that:
- catches all exceptions and logs them to dap.log, and
- while we're at it, logs when exiting
and using the thread_wrapper for each DAP thread.

The direct cause of the segfault is calling PyGILState_Ensure after
calling Py_Finalize.

AFAICT the problem is a race between the gdb main thread and DAP's JSON writer
thread.

On one side, we have the following events:
- DAP's JSON reader thread reads an EOF, and lets DAP's main thread known
  by writing None into read_queue
- DAP's main thread lets DAP's JSON writer thread known by writing None into
  write_queue
- DAP's JSON writer thread sees the None in its queue, and calls
  send_gdb("quit")
- a corresponding gdbpy_event is deposited in the runnables vector, to be
  run by the gdb main thread

On the other side, we have the following events:
- the gdb main thread receives a SIGHUP
- the corresponding handler calls quit_force, which calls do_final_cleanups
- one of the final cleanups is finalize_python, which calls Py_Finalize
- quit_force calls exit, which triggers the exit handlers
- one of the exit handlers is the destructor of the runnables vector
- destruction of the vector triggers destruction of the remaining element
- the remaining element is a gdbpy_event, and the destructor (indirectly)
  calls PyGILState_Ensure

It's good to note that both events (EOF and SIGHUP) are caused by this line in
the test-case:
...
catch "close -i $gdb_spawn_id"
...
where "expect close" closes the stdin and stdout file descriptors, which
causes the SIGHUP to be send.

So, for the system I'm running this on, the send_gdb("quit") is actually not
needed.

I'm not sure if we support any systems where it's actually needed.

Fix this by removing the send_gdb("quit").

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0x6da18) in memmove
...

The error happens when trying to print either variable y or y2:
...
   type Variable_Record (A : Boolean := True) is record
      case A is
         when True =>
            B : Integer;
         when False =>
            C : Float;
            D : Integer;
      end case;
   end record;
   Y  : Variable_Record := (A => True, B => 1);
   Y2 : Variable_Record := (A => False, C => 1.0, D => 2);
...
when the variables are uninitialized.

The error happens only when printing the entire variable:
...
(gdb) p y.a
$2 = 216
(gdb) p y.b
There is no member named b.
(gdb) p y.c
$3 = 9.18340949e-41
(gdb) p y.d
$4 = 1
(gdb) p y
<AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow>
...

The error happens as follows:
- field a functions as discriminant, choosing either the b, or c+d variant.
- when y.a happens to be set to 216, as above, gdb interprets this as the
  variable having the c+d variant (which is why trying to print y.b fails).
- when printing y, gdb allocates a value, copies the bytes into it from the
  target, and then prints the value.
- gdb allocates the value using the type size, which is 8.  It's 8 because
  that's what the DW_AT_byte_size indicates.  Note that for valid values of a,
  it gives correct results: if a is 0 (c+d variant), size is 12, if a is 1
  (b variant), size is 8.
- gdb tries to print field d, which is at an 8 byte offset, and that results
  in a out-of-bounds access for the allocated 8-byte value.

Fix this by handling this case in value::contents_copy_raw, such that we have:
...
(gdb) p y
$1 = (a => 24, c => 9.18340949e-41,
      d => <error reading variable: access outside bounds of object>)
...

An alternative (additional) fix could be this: in compute_variant_fields_inner
gdb reads the discriminant y.a to decide which variant is active.  It would be
nice to detect that the value (y.a == 24) is not a valid Boolean, and give up
on choosing a variant altoghether.  However, the situation regarding the
internal type CODE_TYPE_BOOL is currently ambiguous (see PR31282) and it's not
possible to reliably decide what valid values are.

The test-case source file gdb.ada/uninitialized-variable-record/parse.adb is
a reduced version of gdb.ada/uninitialized_vars/parse.adb, so it copies the
copyright years.

Note that the test-case needs gcc-12 or newer, it's unsupported for older gcc
versions. [ So, it would be nice to rewrite it into a dwarf assembly
test-case. ]

The test-case loops over all languages.  This is inherited from an earlier
attempt to fix this, which had language-specific fixes (in print_field_values,
cp_print_value_fields, pascal_object_print_value_fields and
f_language::value_print_inner).  I've left this in, but I suppose it's not
strictly necessary anymore.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

From the Python API, we can execute GDB commands via gdb.execute.  If
the command gives an exception, however, we need to recover the GDB
prompt and enable stdin, because the exception does not reach
top-level GDB or normal_stop.  This was done in commit

    gdb: Enable stdin on exception in execute_gdb_command

with the following code:

  catch (const gdb_exception &except)
    {
      /* If an exception occurred then we won't hit normal_stop (), or have
         an exception reach the top level of the event loop, which are the
         two usual places in which stdin would be re-enabled. So, before we
         convert the exception and continue back in Python, we should
         re-enable stdin here.  */
      async_enable_stdin ();
      GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except);
    }

In this patch, we explain what happens when we run a GDB command in
the context of a synchronous command, e.g.  via Python observer
notifications.

As an example, suppose we have the following objfile event listener,
specified in a file named file.py:

~~~
import gdb

class MyListener:
    def __init__(self):
        gdb.events.new_objfile.connect(self.handle_new_objfile_event)
        self.processed_objfile = False

    def handle_new_objfile_event(self, event):
        if self.processed_objfile:
            return

        print("loading " + event.new_objfile.filename)
        self.processed_objfile = True
        gdb.execute('add-inferior -no-connection')
        gdb.execute('inferior 2')
        gdb.execute('target remote | gdbserver - /tmp/a.out')
        gdb.execute('inferior 1')

the_listener = MyListener()
~~~

Using this Python file, we see the behavior below:

  $ gdb -q -ex "source file.py" -ex "run" --args a.out
  Reading symbols from a.out...
  Starting program: /tmp/a.out
  loading /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  [New inferior 2]
  Added inferior 2
  [Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
  stdin/stdout redirected
  Process /tmp/a.out created; pid = 3075406
  Remote debugging using stdio
  Reading /tmp/a.out from remote target...
  ...
  [Switching to inferior 1 [process 3075400] (/tmp/a.out)]
  [Switching to thread 1.1 (process 3075400)]
  #0  0x00007ffff7fe3290 in ?? () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  (gdb) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
  Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
  [Inferior 1 (process 3075400) exited normally]

Note how the GDB prompt comes in-between the debugger output.  We have this
obscure behavior, because the executed command, "target remote", triggers
an invocation of `normal_stop` that enables stdin.  After that, however,
the Python notification context completes and GDB continues with its normal
flow of executing the 'run' command.  This can be seen in the call stack
below:

The use of the "target remote" command here is just an example.  In
principle, we would reproduce the problem with any command that
triggers an invocation of `normal_stop`.

To omit enabling the stdin in `normal_stop`, we would have to check the
context we are in.  Since we cannot do that, we add a new field to
`struct ui` to track whether the prompt was already blocked, and set
the tracker flag in the Python context before executing a GDB command.

After applying this patch, the output becomes

  ...

  (gdb)

Let's now consider a secondary scenario, where the command executed from
the Python raises an error.  As an example, suppose we have the Python
file below:

    def handle_new_objfile_event(self, event):
        ...
        print("loading " + event.new_objfile.filename)
        self.processed_objfile = True
        gdb.execute('print a')

The executed command, "print a", gives an error because "a" is not
defined.  Without this patch, we see the behavior below, where the
prompt is again placed incorrectly:

  ...
  Reading symbols from /tmp/a.out...
  Starting program: /tmp/a.out
  loading /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
  Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'>: No symbol "a" in current context.
  (gdb) [Inferior 1 (process 3980401) exited normally]

This time, `async_enable_stdin` is called from the 'catch' block in
`execute_gdb_command`:

Again, after we enable stdin, GDB continues with its normal flow
of the 'run' command and receives the inferior's exit event, where
it would have enabled stdin, if we had not done it prematurely.

The abort happens because a c++ exception escapes to c code, specifically
opncls_bstat in bfd/opncls.c.  Compiling with -fexceptions works around this.

Fix this by catching the exception just before it escapes, in stat_trampoline
and likewise in few similar spot.

Add a new template catch_exceptions to do so in a consistent way.

Tested on aarch64-linux.
