[patch 2/2] iFort compat.: case insensitive symbols (PR 11313)

[Jan Kratochvil]

Hi,

iFort (Intel Fortran compiler) produces DIEs like:

 <1><1dc>: Abbrev Number: 6 (DW_TAG_module)
    <1e0>   DW_AT_name        : MOD1    

But Fortran is case insensitive, therefore GDB lowercases any user input
first.  Symbols cannot match.  gfortran always produces lowercased DIE names.

I was told by Jakub Jelinek GCC frontend will never be properly case
preserving - to output "Mod1" if user stated it in such case in the sources.

Therefore GDB will now lowercase any case insensitive symbol names on their
read-in from DWARF.

ELF symbol tables are currently not touched - their matching to their CU (and
thus to their DW_AT_identifier_case / DW_AT_language) is expensive and it does
not seem to me to be needed for iFort as only the module names are uppercased
there.

For the iFort compatibility there is also needed:
	[new testcase] Regression 7.1->7.2 for iFort [Re: [RFA-v2] dwarf debug format: Support DW_AT_variable_parameter attribute]
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-11/msg00084.html

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora14snapshot-linux-gnu.

Jan

Just a thought, since I don't really know what this would entail, but
shouldn't we just fix the lookup routines instead? I think that would
be cleaner.

Do you/anyone know a compiler preserving the source case for some case
insensitive language?


Thanks,

RE: [patch 2/2] iFort compat.: case insensitive symbols (PR 11313)

[Pierre Muller]

  Yes, I don't like the idea of lowercas'ing everything at
read-in: 
  In Free Pascal, despite the fact that pascal is case insensitive
at source level, uses internal functions
that are lowercase as opposed to all source declared function
which are uppercased.
  If we unconditionally lowercase everything, we would
possibly not be able anymore to specifically target those internal
functions.

  A while ago, I proposed a patch that changed the
used a second copy of the pascal name
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-04/msg00967.html

  But you didn't like that proposition ...
  I didn't reply to the last message in this thread,
but I now think that your proposal of using a specific
syntax (gdb) print <My_variable>
to avoid case conversion, would not work
for info command, which was one of the
reasons of that patch.

I don't, but I'm just trying to see if we can evaluate the work that
would be required to make lookups case-insensitive, rather than
lowercasing the entity names.  If you think it's very hard, then,
OK, let's consider your approach.

Note that with Ada, one can still export entities using a name that
has mixed casing.  We allow the user to reference them from GDB using
the "<[...]>" syntax (Eg: "print "<My_Exported_Variable>").  If you
lowercase everything, you won't be able to do allow that for Fortran.

I have prepared a second patch now to address Joel's suggestion to rather look
up symbols case insensitively instead of lowercasing them on read-in.

But maybe this patch is OK anyway although the cleanup could be more complete.

(Not yet checked in.)

Maybe some Ada code could be cleaned up on top of that?

Here is a draft, not yet for review.

I guess .gdb_index's find_slot_in_mapped_hash should already use strcmp_iw.
It may currently break C++ psymtabs expansion on .gdb_index'ed files.

But I cannot test it as GDB already is broken just by the physname:
	[testcase patch] 7.2 regression on expand psymtabs
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-11/msg00300.html


Unrelated talk:

Currently strcmp_iw does ugly skipping of whitespaces.  Thanks to the physname
canonicalization of all the symbols they should be unique enough so that no
longer should be needed.

Just one would have to canonicalize even the user input string (such as
`method(long, char *)').  As dwarf2_physname works from the internal parsed
representation the expression would need to be parsed first.  But for
tab-completion an incomplete string cannot be parsed into exp_element-s, can
it?

It is now even reproducible as a bug, GDB cannot distinguish those two:

#include <stdio.h>
class C
  {
  public:
    static void operator delete (void *p)
    { printf ("operator %p\n", operator delete); }
    static void operatordelete (void *p)
    { printf ("method %p\n", operatordelete); }
  };
int
main ()
{
  C *x = new C;
  x->operatordelete(NULL);
  delete x;
}

gdb -q -nx ./1 -ex r -ex 'p C::operator delete(void*)' -ex 'p C::operatordelete(void*)' -ex q
method 0x4005d9
operator 0x4005b7
Program exited normally.
$1 = {void (void *)} 0x4005b7 <C::operator delete(void*)>
$2 = {void (void *)} 0x4005b7 <C::operator delete(void*)>

So - what do you think? I'm a little torn, because of the following
change which I did not anticipate:

The lowercasing of the character impact the hash's overal performance?

Your first patch only affects the languages for which the language
is marked as case-insensitive, whereas the second one seems to affect
all languages. If the impact is sufficiently noticeable, then that
would be an argument in favor of your first patch...

(just thinking aloud)

If there are any concerns about it (I do not think there should be any while
looking and the disassembly plus glibc's __ctype_tolower_loc) we should also
ask why GDB already uses locale-conforming tolower while gcc uses TOLOWER.

GDB could also use it, it is in libiberty.  That one has "zero" cost.

Jan

I was actually wondering about the change in the hash algorithm more
than the cost of calling tolower.  For instance, "tmp" and "Tmp" would
have had different hash values, but not anymore.  So, presumably, when
you start looking up for "tmp", the associated hash bucket will also
contain "Tmp" whereas it wouldn't before. I need to look at the actual
hashing parameters to see if we can figure out whether this should have
any real effect in practice...  If the number of elements in each bucket
is reasonable, a few more iterations shouldn't be an issue.

This is a more general issue.

I think (I did not measure it) most of the symbols differ even after tolower.
The symbols like tmp<->Tmp exist but rarely.  I agree the hashing function
will get worse but I did not even measure it considering the change
negligible.

There is more an issue MINIMAL_SYMBOL_HASH_SIZE is constant:
	#define MINIMAL_SYMBOL_HASH_SIZE 2039

Some objfiles have many symbols:
	libwebkit.so.debug: 54980 symbols
		/MINIMAL_SYMBOL_HASH_SIZE = 27
		log2(54980)=16
	gdb symtab: 36452 symbols
		/MINIMAL_SYMBOL_HASH_SIZE = 18
		log2(54980)=16

In such case in fact the whole hash table makes no sense and it is even
cheaper to just do binary search on objfile->msymbols which is already
qsort-ed and be done with it.

Still a hash table should be faster than a binary search but the hash table
size would need to be adaptable.

But rather than optimizations of this which reduce just the CPU load which was
in my measurements 2% during GDB startup (due to its waiting on disk).  We
could for example rather delay searching+loading any objfiles' symbols we do
not need which would do another major GDB startup time reduction like
.gdb_index did.  This is the reason I did not intend to spend any time on some
CPU discutable optimizations, they IMO do not make sense with the current
state of gdb performance.

I looked at this a long time ago, when I was trying to reduce memory use.

My recollection is that our hashing here is pretty bad.  I seem to
remember a case where we had some empty hash buckets and some buckets
with 20 symbols.

msymbols is sorted by address first.

Note that changing this area is trickier than it seems due to the
mst_solib_trampoline handling in lookup_minimal_symbol (maybe obvious,
but it took me a while to realize it...).

I implemented this :-).  It slowed down startup, so it didn't go in.
See the archives around 2008-08-27.  Given your other comments this hit
may not be relevant.  I still have the patch if you are interested.

Yeah, this would be interesting to see.  I think find_main_filename may
make this difficult, but maybe it would work ok for the attach case.

This sort of reading could maybe be done in a background thread.

Also, I wonder why we read minsyms from separate debuginfo files.
Is that ever needed?

This is again for interactive work like .gdb_index was.

For non-interactive backtracing (ABRT) the threads have no benefits.

> Is that ever needed?

In the past I thought GDB should work fine just with DWARF symbols without ELF
symbols.

For example read_var_value looks up for LOC_UNRESOLVED only ELF symbols and
ignores not global DWARF symbols, there are more places like that one.
So far I have given up on the without-minsyms goal, it requires also gcc
changes how DWARF is produced.  It may be nice but it is IMO too much work
just cleaning things up without user visible effect.

Yeah.

Maybe we can expose more controls for specialized applications like
ABRT.

Actually I was specifically thinking of just the separate debuginfo case.
In this case wouldn't the primary objfile always have the minsyms?

/usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh
# The -g flag says to use strip -g instead of full strip on DSOs.
strip:
  -g -S -d --strip-debug           Remove all debugging symbols & sections
eu-strip:
  -g, -d, -S, --strip-debug  Remove all debugging symbols
glibc.spec:
	find_debuginfo_args='--strict-build-id -g'

Whether .symtab (=ELF symbols=minimal symbols) is present in the primary
objfile or the separate debug info objfile depends on this switch.

For almost all the Fedora packages .symtab is in the separate debug info file.
glibc (not sure if anything else) has an exception it has .symtab still in the
primary binary file.  (I do not agree much with such exception myself.)

I thought you needed that symbol table in order to link against a shared
library?

That is `.dynsym'.  GDB also reads it into minsym, though.  Yes, `.dynsym' is
always present in the primary binary file.

`.dynsym' is processed by ld.so, `.symtab' is ignored by ld.so and is provided
there only for debuggers in shared libraries.  `.dynsym' is covered by a LOAD
segment, `.symtab' is not, therefore it cannot be used during runtime.

We could easily check for that when we read the separate debuginfo.

I think both files have .dynsym though.  And AFAIK we end up with two
copies of these minsyms.  One or the other seems unneeded.

I do not know any section would be present in both files (except .note.* like
.note.build-id and at least .shstrlab).  .dynsym is always needed in the
primary file so there is no need to have in in the .debug file:

/bin/bash
  [ 5] .dynsym           DYNSYM          0000000000403898 003898 00c588 18   A 28   1  8
/usr/lib/debug/bin/bash.debug|grep dynsym
  [ 5] .dynsym           NOBITS          0000000000403860 000248 00c588 18   A  6   1  8

There will be both .dynsym and .symtab where the first should be a subset of
the second; but GDB cannoy depend on the fact it should be a subset.

Aha.  Sorry about this, I got confused by objdump, which doesn't
explicitly say NOBITS (but rather just CONTENTS when there are some).
Thanks for the extended explanation.
