After we make GDBserver handling Zx/zx packet idempotent,
[PATCH 3/3] [GDBserver] Make Zx/zx packet handling idempotent.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-04/msg00480.html
> Now removal/insertion of all kinds of breakpoints/watchpoints, either
> internal, or from GDB, always go through the target methods.
GDBserver handles all kinds of breakpoints/watchpoints through target
methods. However, some target backends, such as arm, don't support Z0
packet but need software breakpoint to do breakpoint stepping over in
linux-low.c:start_step_over,
a software breakpoint is requested to the backend, and the error is
triggered. This problem should affect targets having
breakpoint_reinsert_addr hooked.
Instead of handling memory breakpoint in these affected linux backend,
this patch handles memory breakpoint in linux_{insert,remove}_point,
that, if memory breakpoint is requested, call
{insert,remove}_memory_breakpoint respectively. Then, it becomes
unnecessary to handle memory breakpoint for linux x86 backend, so
this patch removes the code there.
This patch is tested with GDBserver on x86_64-linux and arm-linux
(-marm, -mthumb). Note that there are still some fails in
gdb.base/cond-eval-mode.exp with -mthumb, because GDBserver doesn't
know how to select the correct breakpoint instruction according to
the arm-or-thumb-mode of requested address. This is a separate
issue, anyway.

Keith noticed that, when using the "complete" command on GDB to complete
a Python command, some strange things could happen. In order to
understand what can go wrong, I need to explain how the Python
completion mechanism works.
When the user requests a completion of a Python command by using TAB,
GDB will first try to determine the right set of "brkchars" that will be
used when doing the completion. This is done by actually calling the
"complete" method of the Python class. Then, when we already know the
"brkchars" that will be used, we call the "complete" method again, for
the same values.
If you read the thread mentioned above, you will see that one of the
design decisions was to make the "cmdpy_completer_helper" (which is the
function the does the actual calling of the "complete" method) cache the
first result of the completion, since this result will be used in the
second call, to do the actual completion.
The problem is that the "complete" command does not process the
brkchars, and the current Python completion mechanism (improved by the
patch mentioned above) relies on GDB trying to determine the brkchars,
and then doing the completion itself. Therefore, when we use the
"complete" command instead of doing a TAB-completion on GDB, there is a
scenario where we can use the invalid cache of a previous Python command
that was completed before. For example:
(gdb) A <TAB>
(gdb) complete B
B value1
B value10
B value2
B value3
B value4
B value5
B value6
B value7
B value8
B value9
(gdb) B <TAB>
comp1 comp2 comp4 comp6 comp8
comp10 comp3 comp5 comp7 comp9
Here, we see that "complete B " gave a different result than "B <TAB>".
The reason for that is because "A <TAB>" was called before, and its
completion results were "value*", so when GDB tried to "complete B " it
wrongly answered with the results for A. The problem here is using a
wrong cache (A's cache) for completing B.
We tried to come up with a solution that would preserve the caching
mechanism, but it wasn't really possible. So I decided to completely
remove the cache, and doing the method calling twice for every
completion. This is not optimal, but I do not think it will impact
users noticeably.
It is worth mentioning another small issue that I found. The code was
doing:
which is totally wrong, because using "sizeof" here will lead to always
the same result. So I changed this to use "strlen". The testcase also
catches this problem.
Keith kindly expanded the existing testcase to cover the problem
described above, and everything is passing.

Add test for PR18214 and PR18216 - multiple step-overs with queued signals
Both PRs are triggered by the same use case.
PR18214 is about software single-step targets. On those, the 'resume'
code that detects that we're stepping over a breakpoint and delivering
a signal at the same time:
/* Currently, our software single-step implementation leads to different
results than hardware single-stepping in one situation: when stepping
into delivering a signal which has an associated signal handler,
hardware single-step will stop at the first instruction of the handler,
while software single-step will simply skip execution of the handler.
...
Fortunately, we can at least fix this particular issue. We detect
here the case where we are about to deliver a signal while software
single-stepping with breakpoints removed. In this situation, we
revert the decisions to remove all breakpoints and insert single-
step breakpoints, and instead we install a step-resume breakpoint
at the current address, deliver the signal without stepping, and
once we arrive back at the step-resume breakpoint, actually step
over the breakpoint we originally wanted to step over. */
doesn't handle the case of _another_ thread also needing to step over
a breakpoint. Because the other thread is just resumed at the PC
where it had stopped and a breakpoint is still inserted there, the
thread immediately re-traps the same breakpoint. This test exercises
that. On software single-step targets, it fails like this:

Some important tests, like gdb.base/interrupt.exp end up skipped

gdbserver doesn't do.
This patch adds a mechanism that makes it possible to make them work.
It adds a new "inferior_spawn_id" global that is the spawn ID used for
I/O interaction with the inferior. By default, for native targets, or
remote targets that can do I/O through GDB (semi-hosting) this will be
the same as the gdb/host spawn ID. Otherwise, the board may set this
to some other spawn ID. When debugging with GDBserver, this will be
set to GDBserver's spawn ID.
Then tests can use send_inferior instead of send_gdb to send input to
the inferior, and use expect's "-i" switch to select which spawn ID to
use for matching input/output. That is, something like this will now
work:

gdb.base/interrupt.exp: Fix race
Working on splitting gdb and inferior output handling in this test, I
noticed a race that happens to be masked out today.
The test sends "a\n" to the inferior, and then inferior echoes back
"a\n".
If expect manages to read only the first "a\r\n" into its buffer, then
this matches:
-re "^a\r\n(|a\r\n)$" {
and leaves the second "a\r\n" in output.
Then the next test that processes inferior I/O sends "data\n", and expects:
-re "^(\r\n|)data\r\n(|data\r\n)$"
which fails given the anchor and given "a\r\n" is still in the buffer.
This is masked today because the test relies on inferior I/O being
done on GDB's terminal, and there are tested GDB commands in between,
which consume the "a\r\n" that was left in the output.
We don't support SunOS4 anymore, so just remove the workaround.

on the target side, using ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, stale exited
threads are never deleted.
This is not a big deal -- I can't think of any way this might be user
visible, other than gdb's memory growing a tiny bit whenever a thread
gets stuck in exited state. Still, might as well clean things up
properly.
All other targets use prune_threads, so are unaffected.
The fix adds a ALL_THREADS_SAFE macro, that like
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE, walks the thread list and allows deleting
the iterated thread, and uses that in places that are walking the
thread list in order to delete threads. Actually, after converting
linux-nat.c and remote.c to use this, we find the only other user of
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE is also walking the list to delete
threads. So we convert that too, and end up deleting
ALL_NON_EXITED_THREADS_SAFE.

Fallback to stub-termcap.c on all hosts
Currently building gdb is impossible without an installed termcap or
curses library. But, GDB already has a very minimal termcap in the
tree to handle this situation for Windows -- gdb/stub-termcap.c. This
patch makes that the fallback for all hosts.
Testing this on GNU/Linux (by simply hacking away the termcap/curses
detection in gdb/configure.ac), we trip on:
../readline/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `_rl_init_terminal_io':
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:527: undefined reference to `PC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:528: undefined reference to `BC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:529: undefined reference to `UP'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:538: undefined reference to `PC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:539: undefined reference to `BC'
/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/readline/terminal.c:540: undefined reference to `UP'
These are globals that are normally defined by termcap (or ncurses'
termcap emulation).
Now, we could just define replacements in stub-termcap.c, but
readline/terminal.c (at least the copy in our tree) has this:
which can result in readline defining the globals too. That will
usually work out in C, given that "-fcommon" is usually the default
for C compilers, but that won't work for C++, or C with -fno-common
(link fails with "multiple definition" errors)...
Mirroring those #ifdef conditions in the stub termcap screams
"brittle" to me -- I can see them changing in latter readline
versions.
Work around that by simply using __attribute__((weak)).
Windows/PE/COFF's do support weak, but not on gcc 3.4 based toolchains
(4.8.x does work). Given the file never needed the variables while it
was Windows-only, just continue not defining them there. All other
supported hosts should support this.
