Hello everybody,

 I am cc-ing GCC and binutils mailing lists because while my proposal is 
contained in GDB, it is GCC and binutils that produce DWARF-2 records that 
GDB has to deal with.

 Feedback from all the parties involved is very warmly welcome, be it 
enthusiastic or more critical.  I will therefore start with a short 
explanation of the matters considered, so that those of us with good ideas 
and extensive knowledge of our tools, binary formats, respective 
standards, etc. but who do not specialise in the area of MIPS processors 
have a better understanding what the underlying implication are.

0. Introduction

 As some of you may have been aware, GDB has had issues with handling 
MIPS16 binaries related to the use of the ISA (Instruction Set 
Architecture) bit as the selector between the regular MIPS and the MIPS16 
execution (ISA) mode.  With the imminent addition of microMIPS support to 
GDB these issues will apply there as well as the microMIPS execution mode 
uses the ISA bit exactly as the MIPS16 mode does.

1. Background information

 The MIPS architecture, as originally designed and implemented in 
mid-1980s has a uniform instruction word size that is 4 bytes, naturally 
aligned.  As such all MIPS instructions are located at addresses that have 
their bits #1 and #0 set to zeroes, and any attempt to execute an 
instruction from an address that has any of the two bits set to one causes 
an address error exception.  This may for example happen when a 
jump-register instruction is executed whose register value used as the 
jump target has any of these bits set.

 Then in mid 1990s LSI sought a way to improve code density for their 
TinyRISC family of MIPS cores and invented an alternatively encoded 
instruction set in a joint effort with MIPS Technologies (then a 
subsidiary of SGI).  The new instruction set has been named the MIPS16 ASE 
(Application-Specific Extension) and uses a variable instruction word 
size, which is 2 bytes (as the name of the ASE suggests) for most, but 
there are a couple of exceptions that take 4 bytes, and then most of the 
2-byte instructions can be treated with a 2-byte extension prefix to 
expand the range of the immediate operands used.

 As a result instructions are no longer 4-byte aligned, instead they are 
aligned to a multiple of 2.  That left the bit #0 still unused for code 
references, be it for the standard MIPS (i.e. as originally invented) or 
for the MIPS16 instruction set, and based on that observation a clever 
trick was invented that on one hand allowed the processor to be seamlessly 
switched between the two instruction sets at any time at the run time 
while on the other avoided the introduction of any special control 
register to do that.

 So it is the bit #0 of the instruction address that was chosen as the 
selector and named the ISA bit.  Any instruction executed at an even 
address is interpreted as a standard MIPS instruction (the address still 
has to have its bit #1 clear), any instruction executed at an odd address 
is interpreted as a MIPS16 instruction.

 To switch between modes ordinary jump instructions are used, such as used 
for function calls and returns, specifically the bit #0 of the source 
register used in jump-register instructions selects the execution (ISA) 
mode for the following piece of code to be interpreted in.  Additionally 
new jump-immediate instructions were added that flipped the ISA bit to 
select the opposite mode upon execution.  They were considered necessary 
to avoid the need to make register jumps in all cases as the original 
jump-immediate instructions provided no way to change the bit #0 at all.

 This was all important for cases where standard MIPS and MIPS16 code had 
to be mixed, either for compatibility with the existing binary code base 
or to access resources not reachable from MIPS16 code (the MIPS16 
instruction set only provides access to general-purpose registers, and not 
for example floating-point unit registers or privileged coprocessor 0 
registers) -- pieces of code in the opposite mode can be executed as 
ordinary subroutine calls.

 A similar approach has been more recently adopted for the MIPS16 
replacement instruction set defined as the so called microMIPS ASE.  This 
is another instruction set encoding introduced to the MIPS architecture.  
Just like the MIPS16 ASE, the microMIPS instruction set uses a 
variable-length encoding, where each instruction takes a multiple of 2 
bytes.  The ISA bit has been reused and for microMIPS-capable processors 
selects between the standard MIPS and the microMIPS mode instead.

 All our tools have supported, to the various level of quality, the MIPS16 
ASE instruction set and associated binary file structures for a long time 
now.  Support for the microMIPS instruction set and binary file 
peculiarities has been recently added to binutils and is being reviewed 
for GDB; my understanding is the corresponding GCC bits are supposed to 
follow in a not so distant future.  Anything considered here therefore 
equally applies to both MIPS16 and microMIPS binaries, although for the 
purpose of this consideration I will focus on the MIPS16 ASE, as well 
established in our code base now.

2. Statement of the problem

 To put it shortly, MIPS16 and microMIPS code pointers used by GDB are 
different to these observed at the run time.  This results in the same 
expressions being evaluated producing different results in GDB and in the 
program being debugged.  Obviously it's the results obtained at the run 
time that are correct (they define how the program behaves) and therefore 
by definition the results obtained in GDB are incorrect.

 A bit longer description will record that obviously at the run time the 
ISA bit has to be set correctly (refer to background information above if 
unsure why so) or the program will not run as expected.  This is recorded 
in all the executable file structures used at the run time: the dynamic 
symbol table (but not always the static one!), the GOT, and obviously in 
all the addresses embedded in code or data of the program itself, 
calculated by applying the appropriate relocations at the static link 
time.

 While a program is being processed by GDB, the ISA bit is stripped off 
from any code addresses, presumably to make them the same as the 
respective raw memory byte address used by the processor to access the 
instruction in the instruction fetch access cycle.  This stripping is 
actually performed outside GDB proper, in BFD, specifically 
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing (elfxx-mips.c, see the piece of code at 
the very bottom of that function, starting with an: "If this is an 
odd-valued function symbol, assume it's a MIPS16 or microMIPS one." 
comment).

 This function is also responsible for symbol table dumps made by 
`objdump' too, so you'll never see the ISA bit reported there by that 
tool, you need to use `readelf'.

 This is however unlike what is ever done at the run time, the ISA bit 
once present is never stripped off, for example a cast like this:

(short *) main

will not strip the ISA bit off and if the resulting pointer is intended to 
be used to access instructions as data, for example for software 
instruction decoding (like for fault recovery or emulation in a signal 
handler) or for self-modifying code then the bit still has to be stripped 
off by an explicit AND operation.

 This is probably best illustrated with a simple real program example.  
Let's consider the following simple program:

$ cat foobar.c
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) foo (void)
{
  return 1;
}

int __attribute__ ((mips16)) bar (void)
{
  return 2;
}

int __attribute__ ((nomips16)) foo32 (void)
{
  return 3;
}

int (*foo32p) (void) = foo32;
int (*foop) (void) = foo;
int fooi = (int) foo;

int
main (void)
{
  return foop ();
}
$

This is plain C with no odd tricks, except from the instruction mode 
attributes.  They are not necessary to trigger this problem, I just put 
them here so that the program can be contained in a single source file and 
to make it obvious which function is MIPS16 code and which is not.

 Let's try it with Linux, so that everyone can repeat this experiment:

$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -g -O2 -o foobar foobar.c
$

Let's have a look at some interesting symbols:

$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
    55: 00000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS foobar.c
    66: 0040068c     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16]    12 bar
    68: 00410848     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foo32p
    70: 00410844     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foop
    78: 00400684     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo32
    80: 00400680     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16]    12 foo
    88: 00410840     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 fooi
$

Hmm, no sight of the ISA bit, but notice how foo and bar (but not foo32!) 
have been marked as MIPS16 functions (ELF symbol structure's st_other 
field is used for that).

 So let's try to run and poke at this program with GDB.  I'll be using a 
native system for simplicity (I'll be using ellipses here and there to 
remove unrelated clutter):

$ ./foobar
$ echo $?
1
$

So far, so good.

$ gdb ./foobar
[...]
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400490: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) 

Yay, it worked!  OK, so let's poke at it:

(gdb) print main
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400490 <main>
(gdb) print foo32
$2 = {int (void)} 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print foo32p
$3 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print bar
$4 = {int (void)} 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb) print foo
$5 = {int (void)} 0x400680 <foo>
(gdb) print foop
$6 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) 

A-ha!  Here's the difference and finally the ISA bit!

(gdb) print /x fooi
$7 = 0x400681
(gdb) p/x $pc
p/x $pc
$8 = 0x400491
(gdb) 

And here as well...

(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4       }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
   0x00400680 <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x00400682 <+2>:     li      v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  foo () at foobar.c:4
main () at foobar.c:24
24      }
Value returned is $9 = 1
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14103) exited with code 01]
(gdb)

So let's be a bit inquisitive...

(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb)

Actually we do not like to run foo here at all.  Let's run bar instead!

(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) print foop
$10 = (int (*)(void)) 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb)

Hmm, no ISA bit.  Is it going to work?

(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9       }
(gdb) p/x $pc
$11 = 0x40068c
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068c <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x0040068e <+2>:     li      v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  bar () at foobar.c:9

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
bar () at foobar.c:9
9       }
(gdb) 

Oops!

(gdb) p/x $pc
$12 = 0x40068c
(gdb) 

We're still there!

(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) 

So let's try something else:

(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo
(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4       }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
=> 0x00400680 <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x00400682 <+2>:     li      v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  foo () at foobar.c:4

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
foo () at foobar.c:4
4       }
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)

The same problem!

(gdb) run
Starting program: 
/net/build2-lucid-cs/scratch/macro/mips-linux-fsf-gcc/isa-bit/foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo32
(gdb) advance foo32
foo32 () at foobar.c:14
14      }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo32:
=> 0x00400684 <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x00400688 <+4>:     li      v0,3
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  foo32 () at foobar.c:14
main () at foobar.c:24
24      }
Value returned is $14 = 3
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14113) exited with code 03]
(gdb)

That did work though, so it's the ISA bit only!

(gdb) quit

Enough!

 That's the tip of the iceberg only though.  So let's rebuild the 
executable with some dynamic symbols:

$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -Wl,--export-dynamic -g -O2 -o foobar-dyn foobar.c
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar-dyn | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 32 entries:
     6: 004009cd     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 bar
     8: 00410b88     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foo32p
     9: 00410b84     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foop
    15: 004009c4     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo32
    17: 004009c1     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo
    25: 00410b80     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 fooi
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
    55: 00000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS foobar.c
    69: 004009cd     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 bar
    71: 00410b88     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foo32p
    72: 00410b84     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foop
    79: 004009c4     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo32
    81: 004009c1     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo
    89: 00410b80     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 fooi
$

OK, now the ISA bit is there for a change, but the MIPS16 st_other 
attribute gone, hmm...  What does `objdump' do then:

$ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -Tt foobar-dyn | egrep 'SYMBOL|foo|bar'
foobar-dyn:     file format elf32-tradbigmips
SYMBOL TABLE:
00000000 l    df *ABS*  00000000              foobar.c

00410b88 g     O .data  00000004              foo32p
00410b84 g     O .data  00000004              foop

004009c0 g     F .text  00000004              0xf0 foo
00410b80 g     O .data  00000004              fooi
DYNAMIC SYMBOL TABLE:
004009cc g    DF .text  00000004  Base        0xf0 bar
00410b88 g    DO .data  00000004  Base        foo32p
00410b84 g    DO .data  00000004  Base        foop
004009c4 g    DF .text  00000008  Base        foo32
004009c0 g    DF .text  00000004  Base        0xf0 foo
00410b80 g    DO .data  00000004  Base        fooi
$

Hmm, the attribute (0xf0, printed raw) is back, and the ISA bit gone 
again.

 Let's have a look at some DWARF-2 records GDB uses (I'll be stripping off 
a lot here for brevity) -- debug info:

-- a-ha, the ISA bit is there!  However it's not always right for some 
reason, I don't have a small test case to show it, but here's an excerpt 
from MIPS16 libc, a prologue of a function:

00019630 <__libc_init_first>:
   19630:       e8a0            jrc     ra

   1964e:       6724            move    s1,a0

and the corresponding DWARF-2 line info:

-- see that "Advance PC by constant 17" there?  It clears the ISA bit, 
however code at 0x19646 is not standard MIPS code at all.  For some reason 
the constant is always 17, I've never seen DW_LNS_const_add_pc used with 
any other value -- is that a binutils bug or what?

3. Proposed solution:

 I think we should retain the value of the ISA bit in code references, 
that is effectively treat them as cookies as they indeed are (although 
trivially calculated) rather than raw memory byte addresses.

 In a perfect world both the static symbol table and the respective 
DWARF-2 records should be fixed to include the ISA bit in all the cases.  
I think however that this is infeasible.

 All the uses of _bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing can not necessarily be 
tracked down.  This function is used by elf_slurp_symbol_table that in 
turn is used by bfd_canonicalize_symtab and 
bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab, which are public interfaces.

 Similarly DWARF-2 records are used outside GDB, one notable if a bit 
questionable is the exception unwinder (libgcc/unwind-dw2.c) -- I have 
identified at least bits in execute_cfa_program and uw_frame_state_for, 
both around the calls to _Unwind_IsSignalFrame, that would need an update 
as they effectively flip the ISA bit freely; see also the comment about 
MASK_RETURN_ADDR in gcc/config/mips/mips.h.  But there may be more places.  
Any change in how DWARF-2 records are produced would require an update 
there and would cause compatibility problems with libgcc.a binaries 
already distributed; given that this is a static library a complex change 
involving function renames would likely be required.

 I propose therefore to accept the existing inconsistencies and deal with 
them entirely within GDB.  I have figured out that the ISA bit lost in 
various places can still be recovered as long as we have symbol 
information -- that'll have the st_other attribute correctly set to one of 
standard MIPS/MIPS16/microMIPS.

 Here's the resulting change.  It adds a couple of new gdbarch hooks, one 
to update symbol information with the ISA bit lost in 
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing, and two other ones to adjust DWARF-2 
records as they're processed.  I have figured out only FDE addresses, line 
information and ranges need to be adjusted; CFA records in particular are 
FDE-relative and therefore work "automagically" after these adjustments.  
The ISA bit is set in each address handled according to information 
retrieved from the symbol table for the symbol spanning the address if 
any; limits are adjusted based on the address they point to related to the 
respective base address.  Additionally minimal symbol information has to 
be adjusted accordingly in its gdbarch hook.

 With these changes in place some complications with ISA bit juggling in 
the PC that never fully worked can be removed from the MIPS backend.  
Conversely, the generic dynamic linker event special breakpoint symbol 
handler has to be updated to call the minimal symbol gdbarch hook to 
record that the symbol is a MIPS16 or microMIPS address if applicable or 
the breakpoint will be set at the wrong address and either fail to work or 
cause SIGTRAPs (this is because the symbol is handled early on and 
bypasses regular symbol processing).

4. Results obtained

 The change fixes the example above -- to repeat only the crucial steps:

(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) print foo
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9       }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068d <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x0040068f <+2>:     li      v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  bar () at foobar.c:9
main () at foobar.c:24
24      }
Value returned is $2 = 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14128) exited with code 02]
(gdb)

-- excellent!

 The change removes about 90 failures per MIPS16 multilib in mips-sde-elf 
testing too, results for MIPS16 are now similar to that for standard MIPS; 
microMIPS results are a bit worse because of host-I/O problems in QEMU I 
use for microMIPS only:

standard MIPS:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            14299
# of unexpected failures        187
# of expected failures          56
# of known failures             58
# of unresolved testcases       11
# of untested testcases         52
# of unsupported tests          174

MIPS16:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            14298
# of unexpected failures        187

# of known failures             58
# of unresolved testcases       12
# of untested testcases         52
# of unsupported tests          174

microMIPS:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            14149
# of unexpected failures        201
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          54
# of known failures             58
# of unresolved testcases       7
# of untested testcases         53
# of unsupported tests          175

I'll be rerunning mips-linux-gnu testing as the results I have got turned 
out questionable, so I need to double-check.  I'll post them when I have 
them ready.

 This change regresses five cases too:

gdb.cp/cp-relocate.exp:
print caller
$3 = {int (void)} 0x1 <caller()>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/cp-relocate.exp: get address of caller

and

gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp:
p 'method(long)'
$1 = {void (long)} 0x1 <method(long)>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: before expand
p method
$2 = {void (long)} 0x1 <method(long)>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: force expand
p 'method(long)'
$3 = {void (long)} 0x1 <method(long)>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: after expand

-- the two above are clearly test case bugs -- they load relocatables into 
GDB and shouldn't really require unlinked symbol references to resolve as 
NULLs, they probably just need to be fixed to accept output produced 
above too.

gdb.dwarf2/dw2-empty-pc-range.exp:
No symbol "realrange" in current context.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-empty-pc-range.exp: valid range after CU load

-- this test uses this source:

pc_start:
	.byte   0
pc_end:

which flips the ISA bit on pc_end as a side effect.  This bit is (IMO) 
correctly cleared in processing with my change making the instruction 
range between pc_start and pc_end empty; I'd be just tempted to change 
.byte into .word or suchlike, the exact size does not matter for this test 
and I think the space requested above should not be smaller than the 
(smallest) instruction size on any target.

gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp:

Continuing.

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0x004006fb in main ()

(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp: 2 locations found
p v
$1 = 8
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp: no statement got executed

-- this is plain bogus, the test strips symbol information for fund that 
is a MIPS16 function at 0x004006ad, the data required is permanently lost 
and the incorrect software breakpoint instruction encoding used caused 
execution to go into the weed (this only regresses on simulators that 
pretend to use hardware breakpoints and disregard the ISA bit; for any 
other target the test didn't work anyway).  I don't know how to fix the 
test and retain functionality covered; this has to be rethought and 
reimplemented differently I would say.

5. Conclusion

 As noted at the beginning I am looking forward to all feedback to this 
proposal.  I'm working on a small proper test case for our test suite to 
cover the function pointer issues shown above.

Hello again,

 As promised I am providing Linux results now.  With the recent fixes to 
gdbserver and mips-linux-tdep the number of Linux progressions matches, as 
far as the order of magnitude is concerned, that of bare-iron ones and is 
around 30 for MIPS16 and around 100 for microMIPS multilibs.  The exact 
new numbers are as follows (as usually, these are indicative only because 
of intermittent failures, mainly in the thread tests):

standard MIPS/o32:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            15667
# of unexpected failures        77
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          45
# of known failures             62
# of unresolved testcases       1
# of untested testcases         45
# of unsupported tests          161

standard MIPS/n64:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            15407
# of unexpected failures        158
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          47
# of known failures             62
# of unresolved testcases       5
# of untested testcases         46
# of unsupported tests          162

MIPS16/o32:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            15569
# of unexpected failures        145
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          45
# of known failures             62
# of unresolved testcases       3
# of untested testcases         46
# of unsupported tests          161

microMIPS/o32:

                === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            15480
# of unexpected failures        97
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          45
# of known failures             62
# of unresolved testcases       1
# of untested testcases         46
# of unsupported tests          162

 Also as promised here's a test case to explicitly cover this issue, 
similar in spirit to the examples used in the problem report.  It fails 
for MIPS16 multilibs with our current code (and for microMIPS ones with my 
microMIPS support patch applied) and passes with my proposed ISA bit 
changes included.

 And last but not least, I've included an update to cover Linux microMIPS 
signal trampolines, complementing the change just sent as a followup to 
the original microMIPS support patch.

That seems reasonable to me.

From the ChangeLog entry, it seems like Pedro was involved in the making
of that patch, so perhaps he could be a good reviewer? There are also
changes in dwarf2*, so perhaps people such as Doug and Tom could also
be involved....

Just some minor comments below:

This remark is not to be considered as part of this patch's review,
since this is already an established practice, but I think we could do
better than using magic numbers for those flags. I understand they have
to be that way in the common code, but perhaps mips-tdep could define
aliases? Something like MSYMBOL_MIPS_TARGET_FLAG_BLAH?

Can you put a comment at the start of all these new functions to say
that the documentation is in the header file? For instance, I think
we typically say:

        /* See arch-utils.h.  */

This is to help someone reviewing the code to know that there is
in fact documentation.

I would definitely mention gdbarch in the function comment.
Prior art uses:

    /* Default implementation of gdbarch_displaced_hw_singlestep.  */

Should we remain consistent with that? It can be a mix of both,
saying what method it implements, and then what it actually does, Eg:

    /* Default version of gdbarch_make_symbol_special (does nothing).  */

Is there a way we could avoid that block if
gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special points to the default implementation?
It just seems sad to be doing all this work of creating a temporary symbol
for every solib symbol on non-mips targets...

One possible way would have been to provide no default value for
gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special, but then it makes the calling
of that method a little trickier. That could be worked around by
changing the default value of gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special to NULL,
and then having an extra wrapper function that call the gdbarch
method if not NULL or else does nothing.

All involvement I recall was updating a couple lines to
new interfaces in the context of a merge from upstream.  All else
is pretty much as good as new to me.  :-)

Joel,

 Here's the second change, to cover issues triggered by the MIPS ISA bit 
handling change, usually in tests that make artificial DWARF-2 records.  

 Here are fixes for the problems, listed individually:

* gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp -- this test is debugging an object file 
  and assuming addresses will be 0; with the ISA bit set code addresses 
  are 1 instead:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: set language c++
p 'method(long)'
$1 = {void (long)} 0x1 <method(long)>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: before expand
p method
$2 = {void (long)} 0x1 <method(long)>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: force expand
p 'method(long)'
$3 = {void (long)} 0x1 <method(long)>
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp: after expand

  Fixed by matching any hex number, there's no value AFAICT for the test 
  in matching 0 exactly, and I suppose the method's offset within section
  can be non-zero for some other reasons on other targets too.

* gdb.cp/nsalias.exp -- this assumes instructions can be aligned 
  arbitrarily and places code labels at odd addreses, setting the ISA bit
  and wreaking havoc:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.cp/nsalias.exp: print outer::inner::innermost::x
list outer::inner::innermost::foo
Function "outer::inner::innermost::foo" not defined.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/nsalias.exp: list outer::inner::innermost::foo
break *outer::inner::innermost::foo
No symbol "foo" in namespace "outer::inner::innermost".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/nsalias.exp: setting breakpoint at *outer::inner::innermost::foo
delete $bpnum
No breakpoint number 6.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.cp/nsalias.exp: (outer::inner::innermost): delete $bpnum

  -- etc., etc...  Fixed by aligning labels to 4; required by many 
  processors.

* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-canonicalize-type.exp, gdb.dwarf2/dw2-empty-pc-range.exp, 
  gdb.dwarf2/pr11465.exp -- these assume an instruction and consequently a 
  function can take as little as 1 byte, which makes it impossible to look 
  up a code symbol by an address with the ISA bit set as the address is 
  already beyond the end of the function:

(gdb) ptype f
No symbol "f" in current context.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-canonicalize-type.exp: ptype f

(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-empty-pc-range.exp: empty range before CU load
ptype realrange
No symbol "realrange" in current context.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-empty-pc-range.exp: valid range after CU load

(gdb) p N::c.C
Cannot take address of method C.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/pr11465.exp: p N::c.C

  -- fixed by increasing the size of the function to 4 (perhaps code in 
  gdb/mips-tdep.c could look up code symbols up to twice, with and failing 
  that without the ISA bit set, but it seems wrong to me to implement 
  specific handling for invalid code just to satisfy test cases that 
  assume too much about the target).

* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp -- an artificial code label is 
  created, but does not work because data (a `.align' pseudo-op in this 
  case) follows and as a result the label has no MIPS16 or microMIPS 
  annotation in the symbol table:

(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp: set case-sensitive off
info functions fUnC_lang
All functions matching regular expression "fUnC_lang":

File file1.txt:
foo FUNC_lang(void);

Non-debugging symbols:
0x004006e0  FUNC_lang_start
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp: regexp case-sensitive off

  -- fixed by adding a `.insn' pseudo-op on MIPS targets; the pseudo-op
  marks data as instructions.

* gdb.dwarf2/dw2-stack-boundary.exp -- the test case enables complaints
  and assumes none will be issued beyond ones explicitly arranged by the 
  test case, however overlapping sections are noticed because now minimal 
  symbols are looked up by `mips_adjust_dwarf2_addr' in DWARF-2 record 
  processing:

(gdb) set complaints 100
(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-stack-boundary.exp: set complaints 100
file ./dw2-stack-boundary
Reading symbols from ./dw2-stack-boundary...location description stack underflow...location description stack overflow...unexpected overlap between:

[0x0, 0x0).
Will ignore section B...done.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-stack-boundary.exp: check partial symtab errors

  -- fixed by ignoring any extra noise as long as what we look for is 
  found.

Joel,

 I'd like to get back to this review, this change is important for 
reliable debugging compressed code, as test results quoted below indicate.

 Good point, I'll push such a change as a followup; I have it ready now.

 Done now; please note there's no prior example of such commentary in 
arch-utils.c, so it's easy to fall in the trap of following surrounding 
code.

 Like above, e.g.:

/* Do nothing version of coff_make_msymbol_special.  */

but again I find your suggestion very reasonable.  I decided upon wording 
like:

/* Do nothing default implementation of gdbarch_make_symbol_special.  */

 The only other call sites are in `elf_symtab_read' in gdb/elfread.c, so 
while I agree the block in gdb/solib.c will best be avoided, I'd call your 
proposal to make a wrapper an overkill and actually a pessimisation.  

 Instead I propose the change I included below, where 
`gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special_p' is called once per `elf_symtab_read' 
invocation only, avoiding all the `gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special_p' or 
`gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special' indirection being called for nothing 
where the latter function doesn't do anything.  This is actually an 
improvement over our current trunk as it is.  We can think of something 
fancier if a need arises in the future.

 Here's an updated change.  Beside the changes above I have made an update 
to `micromips_linux_sigframe_validate' in gdb/mips-linux-tdep.c, to take 
the change to support microMIPS signal frames posted separately into 
account.  Also I have updated numerous places in gdb/dwarf2read.c so that 
the ISA bit is applied to the PC consistently.  This cured some 
regressions the original change caused, so that there are no regressions 
after this change and the test suite fix sent as a complement.  Finally a 
test case is now also included that covers scenarios this fix addresses; 
the test case fails for MIPS16 and microMIPS multilibs with our current 
trunk as it is.  It is quite possible that the test case will reveal 
issues on other targets too.

 For those who have already forgotten what it is all about, the original 
description is available here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00515.html

 I have regression tested this updated version with the mips-linux-gnu 
target and the following multilibs:

-EB
-EB -msoft-float
-EB -mips16
-EB -mips16 -msoft-float
-EB -mmicromips
-EB -mmicromips -msoft-float
-EB -mabi=n32
-EB -mabi=n32 -msoft-float
-EB -mabi=64
-EB -mabi=64 -msoft-float

and the -EL variants of same, reducing the total number of failures 
counted across all multilibs from ~8500 to ~3750.  Numbers are indicative 
because of intermittent errors; gdb.threads/schedlock.exp is particularly 
notorious with fluctuations in the range of 50 total across all multilibs 
being normal.  These numbers include fixes made with the other change.

 An indicative test summary change for a single multilib, -EB -mmicromips, 
before:

		=== gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes		16585
# of unexpected failures	1272
# of unexpected successes	1
# of expected failures		29
# of known failures		54
# of unresolved testcases	5
# of untested testcases		50
# of unsupported tests		257

and after:

		=== gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes		17717
# of unexpected failures	175
# of unexpected successes	1
# of expected failures		29
# of known failures		56
# of unresolved testcases	5
# of untested testcases		50
# of unsupported tests		268

 This change does cause regressions, across all multilibs, in some test 
cases that use artificial DWARF-2 records.  These include:

gdb.cp/nsalias.exp
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-canonicalize-type.exp
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-empty-pc-range.exp
gdb.dwarf2/pr11465.exp

It also causes regressions across compressed ISA multilibs only in:

gdb.cp/expand-psymtabs-cxx.exp
gdb.dwarf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp

These tests just make wrong assumptions that can't stand for the MIPS 
target, e.g. that a function can be 1-byte long (wrong, the smallest MIPS 
instruction takes 2 bytes).  The other patch sent as a complement 
addresses these issues, which are all test case deficiencies rather than 
problems with this change.

 OK to apply?

I am going to need help to get this patch reviewed. I don't think
I'll have the availability to give it the attention it deserves
for at least a week or two :-(. Any takers? Otherwise, I'll keep it
at the top of my gdb-patches list.

Thanks!

 I realised this part can be optimised similarly to `elf_symtab_read' in 
gdb/elfread.c so that `gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special_p' is called once 
per function call rather than once per symbol and I have now applied this 
update that I intend to consider a part of the final change.

 Thanks; please note that this change relies on 
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-09/msg00805.html to have been 
applied first.  Although I can swap the order of the patches I suppose, 
the dependency is purely syntactical.

 Also I take back the last-minute update I sent as a follow-up.  While 
there's a loop, the call to `gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special_p' will be 
made only once, even if placed within.  This situation just tells me to 
avoid last-minute updates, sorry about the confusion.

  Maciej

 With 7.8.1 out of the door will you be able to get at it soon?

 I will appreciate that as I have more MIPS stuff to follow that touches 
generic code, in particular bits for PR gdb/7518 that are not necessarily 
straightforward, and I don't want it all to pile up (as if it hasn't 
already, sigh...).

 Thanks,

  Maciej

I know we haven't been all that good in the past at documenting
gdbarch methods, but new entries should be fully documented. That way,
all arch-specific implementations can then document with a reference
to the documentation in gdbarch.sh/gdbarch.h. Would you mind documenting
the ones you're adding?

This is not a requirement for your patch, but if you happen to be able
to quickly document elf_make_msymbol_special as well, that would be
a very welcome and appreciated change.

I got to stare that his code for quite a while, because of the use
of the private static variables, which means that the result of
a call to that function depends on the previous call. I am guessing
that this is the reason behind the following hunk earlier in the patch:

    -      CORE_ADDR address = 0;
    +      CORE_ADDR address = gdbarch_adjust_dwarf2_line (gdbarch, 0, 0);

(to initialize the context).

I think we all know that if makes the implementation a little harder
to maintain in the long run, but after thinking over it for a while,
I tend to like the fact that this helps making the chhanges to
dwarf2read.c a little simpler, with negative impact being only on
the MIPS target. So while I wish things were perfect, I'm have this
feeling that the above is a "good deal" for core GDB ;-).

FTR: I think I had some reservations about this part of the code,
and you improved it to only do the work if
gdbarch_elf_make_msymbol_special_p, which is a nice improvement
anyway. But looking at it more closely, I probably missed at the time
the fact that the minimal_symbol has a local scope. (duh!)

Overall, everything looks very reasonable.

Small nit: There is a space at the end of the first CL line (after
"address of").

One question (pre-approved if my suggestion works):

We've never used .dl.l before, and I don't know how widely available
it is (in fact, I couldn't find it in the GAS manual). How about using
.word or .4byte? It would also be consistent with what we've usually be
using. Would that work?

For future reference, I didn't see this until now.
Please feel free to include me directly in the To list for such

For reference sake, I've got some comments too.
Please hold off checking this in until I can finish reading
the patch (which I'm in the middle of and should finish today).

Sorry for the followup, but FAOD, .4byte.
.word may be a different size on some platforms.

> .word may be a different size on some platforms.

 If anything, that would have to be `.4byte'.

 I chose `.dc.l' because it is the only fully portable GAS pseudo-op to 
produce 32-bit data output.  Testing portability was the actual reason 
to add all the `.dc.*' pseudo-ops to GAS.  As you've already observed 
`.word' is unportable, and neither is `.4byte' as the latter is only 
supported for ELF targets.  However in DWARF-2 testing we're probably on 
an ELF target anyway.

 So I'll update the tests to use `.4byte'.  Thanks for your review.

  Maciej

Yeah.  We've been using .4byte for portability in gdb.dwarf2 as long
as I can remember.

I didn't know about .dc.l, but there's nothing in the name that screams
"portability" to me.  In fact, I can imagine it causing at least a few
people to have
to spend time looking it up just to verify it's OK to use (whereas
they'd be less
inclined to with ".4byte").  Not good.

Cool.  I've got one more review coming.

Hi.
Just a note to say this will probably not work with clang,
but this test is already clang unfriendly.
We can leave fixing that for another day.

I have no other comments on the part of the patch set,
so ok by me (with the .4byte change).

[Still working on part 1.]

Ummm, bleah.

Going forward dwarf2*.c are going to be measurably more of a pain
to maintain than they already are.
I notice a fair bit of mips code gets a lot simpler.
Such is life I guess.

Just a few comments.

I don't know where the best place to put this is, but the adjust_dwarf2
functions need a lot more documentation.  Why do they exist?
What problem do they solve?  Something along those lines.
References to existing documentation is fine, as long as they're sufficient.

I realize I can find that out with some manual labor, e.g., finding
which arches provide an implementation of these functions, and reading them,
but even when I get to mips-tdep.c I'm left wondering *why*
the mips port needs this (e.g., why can't the problem be solved
differently?).  I'm more familiar with arm/thumb, and of course
the first thing that comes to mind is that arm/thumb doesn't need this
(maybe it does, but we've gotten this far without it).  It would help
to educate the reader of this code as to why mips is different.
Maybe this patch is the best solution.  If so, and I'm going to assume that
it is, then let's get this documented in the code.
Even just a reference to existing docs is fine.
mips-tdep.c is a big file though - I don't want to have to read all
of it just to understand why adjust_dwarf2_line exists.

This function would be easier to read if the assignment to block
was moved up and its value used in both invocations of BLOCK_START.

If this function was a "method", we could remove the "static" vars,
but this is ok I guess.
There's magic going on here, carrying the value of pc,adj_pc
from one call to the next.  There's a rule here that this will
be called with rel == 0, before any calls with rel != 0.
It's kinda obvious now, but it would have helped this reader to see
it written down.

Ok with those changes.

 I stuck to the wrong assumption GAS is going to be used with test suite 
runs, as if it was a part of GDB just as it is a part of binutils.  It 
is not, despite sharing the repository.  While maybe less common these 
days another assembler can be used by the compiler run in testing and 
`.dc.l' can only be considered portable among GAS's targets and not 
different assemblers.  So we can't really use the pseudo-op, unlike 
`.4byte' that we already rely on.

 Applied now, with the update requested and having regression-tested it.  
Thanks again for the review.

 Yeah, that's a consequence of a bad decision made (or the lack of one 
and the resulting semantics that spontaneously happened) many years ago 
as MIPS16 support was implemented.  References to compressed code are 
made in an inconsistent way across DWARF records with information lost 
from some of them.  That information has to be recovered from the symbol 
table.

 The missing information could be stored separately in DWARF records I 
suppose, but that won't help with many binaries out there; MIPS16 
support has been there for well over a decade -- our first record is 
from Jan 1997 and support in GCC/GAS must have been there since around 
that time too.

 And some stuff actually starts working, that never did before.  I 
posted the full story along the original patch submission:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg00515.html

> Such is life I guess.

 I tried hard figuring out a way that would avoid making changes to 
generic DWARF code and could not find one.  Once the DWARF records have 
been processed there doesn't appear to me to be a way for places across 
GDB's generic code to gather the pieces of information required without 
turning upside down those places for a change.

 The source code has so far been the documentation I am afraid.  Which I 
think also contributes to the mess.  Implied bits are buried in GCC in 
gcc/config/mips/mips.h and libgcc/unwind-dw2.c for example, see the 
comment around `MASK_RETURN_ADDR' in the former and the comment at the 
beginning of `execute_cfa_program' in the latter.

 The assumptions made in these both places make issues nasty, adding 1 
to the return address in the latter place is incompatible with how the 
ISA bit is interpreted everywhere else.  This function post-dates the 
introduction of the MIPS16 instruction set I believe and therefore I 
think it should have been designed with the issues around it in mind, 
e.g. I used the patch below in the early stage of investigation of
possible solutions for the problem addressed here.

 I suspect that it does, but it can be found out easily as this is why I 
included gdb.base/func-ptrs.exp with the change.  Any target that fails 
the test cases it contains will need addressing the problem, possibly 
just by implementing the equivalent of the MIPS bits posted here.

 I'll try summarising the key points for the new hooks in gdbarch.sh 
(that is propagated by the script to gdbarch.h) and for the MIPS 
implementation in mips-tdep.c.  I'll post the final version for you (and 
Joel) to comment on before I push it, in the next few days.

 Fixed.  It looks to me like an outcome from the long history of this 
function (dating back to Jan 2008) and the number of adjustments it 
gathered as the structures it uses evolved.  In the process I missed the 
possibility for this simplification.

 Indeed, already noticed by Joel.  This piece gave me a bit of a 
headache and after considering available alternatives I decided to put 
the least burden on our DWARF machinery and contain all the stuff within 
the MIPS backend.  This way people outside the MIPS world do not have to 
be bothered with it, and I think code is also relatively simple, which 
is going to help with long-term maintenance.

 The only drawback is backend's state has to be initialised and 
consequently an initial call with `rel == 0' is required.  I'll document 
it at the call site and here as well.

 And here's the experimental patch for GCC EH unwinder I referred to 
above, published for posterity.

 I have now added these descriptions, with some bias towards the MIPS 
specifics as they are what I am most familiar with.  Please let me know 
if you think they might be further improved.

 Correct, this simulates an implicit line entry at the start of 
processing so that a possible initial relative address adjustment line 
information entry works correctly.

 Yes, as I already noted in my other reply today made to a similar 
concern Doug made, I concluded making it as simple as possible and 
putting the most burden on the MIPS backend will incur the least amount 
of long maintenance effort.  Indeed, having persistent state kept in 
local static variables is a bit obscure, but I think this is a "good 
deal", as you say.

 I thought you actually were (quite validly IMO) concerned about all the 
preparatory steps made across all targets to set up `msym', just to do 
nothing about it then.

 So here are the changes I made to address the concerns you both 
expressed, as an incremental patch for easier review.  If this looks 
good to you, then I'll fold it into the original change and commit (the 
comment addition for `elf_make_msymbol_special' may better go in as a 
separate change though).

 Thanks for your input.

 I haven't heard back from you, so I have applied the change now.  

 While reviewing the final ChangeLog entry I discovered I created an 
unneeded shadow local variable definition, so in addition to the changes 
already posted in this thread I have included the following cleanup, as 
obvious, in the final commit.

 Thanks for your review.

	* mips-tdep.h (MSYMBOL_TARGET_FLAG_MIPS16): New macro.
	(MSYMBOL_TARGET_FLAG_MICROMIPS): Likewise.
	* mips-tdep.c (mips_elf_make_msymbol_special): Use the new 
	macros.
	(msymbol_is_mips, msymbol_is_mips16, msymbol_is_micromips):
	Likewise.
