| | | | | | | This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script, which automated the update of the copyright year range for all source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include year 2023.
* gdbserver: track current process as well as current threadPedro Alves2022-05-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The recent commit 421490af33bf ("gdbserver/linux: Access memory even if threads are running") caused a regression in gdb.threads/access-mem-running-thread-exit.exp with gdbserver, which I somehow missed. Like so: (gdb) print global_var Cannot access memory at address 0x555555558010 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/access-mem-running-thread-exit.exp: non-stop: access mem (print global_var after writing, inf=2, iter=1) The problem starts with GDB telling GDBserver to select a thread, via the Hg packet, which GDBserver complies with, then that thread exits, and GDB, without knowing the thread is gone, tries to write to memory, through the context of the previously selected Hg thread. GDBserver's GDB-facing memory access routines, gdb_read_memory and gdb_write_memory, call set_desired_thread to make GDBserver re-select the thread that GDB has selected with the Hg packet. Since the thread is gone, set_desired_thread returns false, and the memory access fails. Now, to access memory, it doesn't really matter which thread is selected. All we should need is the target process. Even if the thread that GDB previously selected is gone, and GDB does not yet know about that exit, it shouldn't matter, GDBserver should still know which process that thread belonged to. Fix this by making GDBserver track the current process separately, like GDB also does. Add a new set_desired_process routine that is similar to set_desired_thread, but just sets the current process, leaving the current thread as NULL. Use it in the GDB-facing memory read and write routines, to avoid failing if the selected thread is gone, but the process is still around. Change-Id: I4ff97cb6f42558efbed224b30d5c71f6112d44cd

* gdbserver: introduce scoped_restore_current_thread and switch_to_threadTankut Baris Aktemur2021-12-131-0/+22
| | | | | | Introduce a class for restoring the current thread and a function to switch to the given thread. This is a preparation for a refactoring that aims to remove direct assignments to 'current_thread'.
* gdb, gdbserver: make target_waitstatus safeSimon Marchi2021-10-211-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I stumbled on a bug caused by the fact that a code path read target_waitstatus::value::sig (expecting it to contain a gdb_signal value) while target_waitstatus::kind was TARGET_WAITKIND_FORKED. This meant that the active union field was in fact target_waitstatus::value::related_pid, and contained a ptid. The read signal value was therefore garbage, and that caused GDB to crash soon after. Or, since that GDB was built with ubsan, this nice error message: /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-nat.c:1271:12: runtime error: load of value 2686365, which is not a valid value for type 'gdb_signal' Despite being a large-ish change, I think it would be nice to make target_waitstatus safe against that kind of bug. As already done elsewhere (e.g. dynamic_prop), validate that the type of value read from the union matches what is supposed to be the active field. - Make the kind and value of target_waitstatus private. - Make the kind initialized to TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE on target_waitstatus construction. This is what most users appear to do explicitly. - Add setters, one for each kind. Each setter takes as a parameter the data associated to that kind, if any. This makes it impossible to forget to attach the associated data. - Add getters, one for each associated data type. Each getter validates that the data type fetched by the user matches the wait status kind. - Change "integer" to "exit_status", "related_pid" to "child_ptid", just because that's more precise terminology. - Fix all users. That last point is semi-mechanical. There are a lot of obvious changes, but some less obvious ones. For example, it's not possible to set the kind at some point and the associated data later, as some users did. But in any case, the intent of the code should not change in this patch. This was tested on x86-64 Linux (unix, native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver boards). It was built-tested on x86-64 FreeBSD, NetBSD, MinGW and macOS. The rest of the changes to native files was done as a best effort. If I forgot any place to update in these files, it should be easy to fix (unless the change happens to reveal an actual bug).

* gdbserver: make thread_info non-PODSimon Marchi2021-10-211-5/+16
| | | | | | | | | | Add a constructor and a destructor. The constructor takes care of the initialization that happened in add_thread, while the destructor takes care of the freeing that happened in free_one_thread. This is needed to make target_waitstatus non-POD, as thread_info contains a member of that type. Change-Id: I1db321b4de9dd233ede0d5c101950f1d6f1d13b7

* Move gdbserver to top levelTom Tromey2020-02-071-0/+227
This patch moves gdbserver to the top level. This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will be done in a separate patch. [v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here. [v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver should be built. [v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary top-level dependencies. [v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a single, shared script. Tested by the buildbot.
