Hello,
with the following code...
12 Nested; -- break #1
13 return I; -- break #2
14 end;
(line 12 is a call to function Nested)
... we have noticed the following errorneous behavior on ppc-aix,
where, after having inserted a breakpoint at line 12 and line 13,
and continuing from the breakpoint at line 12, the program never
stops at line 13, running away until the program terminates:
% gdb -q func
(gdb) b func.adb:12
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000a24: file func.adb, line 12.
(gdb) b func.adb:13
Breakpoint 2 at 0x10000a28: file func.adb, line 13.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/func
Breakpoint 1, func () at func.adb:12
12 Nested; -- break #1
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 4128872) exited with code 02]
When resuming from the first breakpoint, GDB first tries to step
out of that first breakpoint. We rely on software single-stepping
on this platform, and it just so happens that the address of the
first software single-step breakpoint is the same as the user's
breakpoint #2 (0x10000a28). So, with infrun and target traces
turned on (but uninteresting traces snip'ed off), the "continue"
operation looks like this:
(gdb) c
### First, we insert the user breakpoints (the second one is an internal
### breakpoint on __pthread_init). The first user breakpoint is not
### inserted as we need to step out of it first.
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000d03f3800, xxx) = 0
### Then we proceed with the step-out-of-breakpoint...
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=1, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x10000a24
### That's when we insert the SSS breakpoints...
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
### ... then let the inferior resume...
target_resume (15335610, continue, 0)
infrun: wait_for_inferior ()
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 15335610 [process 15335610],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x100009ac
### At this point, we stopped at the second SSS breakpoint...
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We remove the SSS breakpoints...
target_remove_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_remove_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We find that we're not done, so we resume....
infrun: no stepping, continue
### And thus insert the user breakpoints again, except we're not
### inserting the second breakpoint?!?
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a24, xxx) = 0
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x100009ac
target_resume (-1, continue, 0)
infrun: prepare_to_wait
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = exited, status = 2
What happens is that the removal of the software single-step breakpoints
effectively removed the breakpoint instruction from inferior memory.
But because such breakpoints are inserted directly as raw breakpoints
rather than through the normal chain of breakpoints, we fail to notice
that one of the user breakpoints points to the same address and that
this user breakpoint is therefore effectively un-inserted. When
resuming after the single-step, GDB thinks that the user breakpoint
is still inserted and therefore does not need to insert it again.
This patch fixes the problem by avoiding the creation of a raw
breakpoint for any of the software single-step breakpoints when
their address correspond to a user breakpoint which has already
been inserted and whose address matches. The rest of the patch
adjusts the code removing the software single-step breakpoints
to take this possibility into account. As it happens, it simplifies
the code a little bit.
This patch does make one assumption, however, which is the fact
that user breakpoints get inserted before software single-step
breakpoints. I think this is a fair assumption, as software
single-step breakpoints get created as part of the target-step
operation (resume with step=1), which logically can only happen
after we've inserted all breakpoints.
For the record, this behavior started appearing after commit
31e77af205cf6564c2bf4c18400b4ca16bdf92cd (PR breakpoints/7143 -
Watchpoint does not trigger when first set) was applied, but
I have not checked whether it was really directly related to
that commit, or a latent issue.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR breakpoints/7143
* breakpoint.c (non_sss_software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p):
New function, extracted from software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p.
(software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p): Remove factored out code
by call to non_sss_software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p.
(insert_single_step_breakpoint): Do nothing if a non-software-
single-step breakpoint was already inserted at the same
address.
(remove_single_step_breakpoints): Adjust to take into account
the fact that the first software single-step may not have been
inserted.
Tested on ppc-aix with AdaCore's testsuite. Tested on x86_64-linux
with the official testsuite.
OK to commit?
Also, due to the nature of the regression (compared to 7.7), I think
we should wait for a resolution of this issue before creating the
gdb 7.8 release branch.
Thanks!

Async/background execution breaks that assumption though.
E.g., say you do:
(gdb) b *0xsame_addr_as_sss_bkpt
(gdb) s &
(gdb) del
That "del" runs while the target is single-stepping. And it
might just delete the breakpoint that was at the same address
as a single-step breakpoint, before the single-step breakpoint
traps or gdb collects the trap.
If you try that on native GNU/Linux, it'll fail because
then GDB can't poke at memory while the program is running.
You can still trigger it with using two threads:
(gdb) b *0xsame_addr_as_sss_bkpt
(gdb) set scheduler-locking on
(gdb) thread 1
(gdb) s &
(gdb) thread 2 // this thread is stopped, so we can poke at memory.
(gdb) del
That's why I thought it'd be easier to do this in the "remove" path.
We can still bypass actually inserting the sss breakpoint in
the "insert" path if there's already another breakpoint there,
but we'll need to create/clone the location and its shadow buffer,
and then still handle the issue in the "remove" path. I'm now
thinking that indeed we should implement that optimization, but not
for efficiency (this being a corner case, it's doubtful it
matters), but to cater for remote targets that might not handle
duplicate Z0 packets well. They're supposed to be handled in
an idempotent manner, but even GDBserver had related issues
recently.
Oh, _but_! If the target supports breakpoint evaluating
breakpoint conditions itself (target_supports_evaluation_of_breakpoint_conditions),
such as GDBserver, then we _need_ to send the duplicate
software single-step Z0 breakpoint, in case the non-sss breakpoint
that is already inserted at the same address was conditional, otherwise
the target is only going to report the breakpoint hit if the
non-sss breakpoint's condition evaluates true, while we need the
sss breakpoint to be unconditional. (In this case we know for
sure that the target knows what to do with the duplicate Z0
packets, it's a requirement of the feature.)
In sum, in the "insert" path:
- if !target_supports_evaluation_of_breakpoint_conditions; then
optimize out the sss breakpoint if there's already a
non-sss breakpoint inserted at the same address.
else
make sure to resend/reinsert the breakpoint sss breakpoint,
even if there's already a non-sss in place, in case that other
breakpoint was conditional.
fi
And in the "remove" path:
- if there's still a non-sss breakpoint inserted at the
same address, then don't actually remove the breakpoint
off of the target, just wipe it from gdb's list.

I agree.

Hi Pedro,
Thanks for the super quick review!

Hmmm, you are right. I had a feeling that this assumption was
going to come back to bite us one day. I didn't realize that
it was going to be today! ;-)

It seems to me that we'd need to merge your initial recommendation
into your summary above, right? Otherwise, wouldn't we fail in
the async example you provided? Actually, wouldn't it fail
regardless? Even if we inserted the SSS breakpoint, when the user
deletes his breakpoints, since the breakpoint chain doesn't know
about the SSS breakpoint, wouldn't it remove our SSS breakpoint
insn?
I am wondering whether the simpler approach that you initially
suggested, which is to just handle the issue in the "remove"
path for 7.8 wouldn't be a little safer, while we also look
at actually enhancing SSS breakpoints via the normal breakpoint
chain. I am wondering what's going to be needed for that...
WDYT?
Thanks!

I admit I don't know what recommendation you're referring to. :-)

Ah, yes. We'd need the mirror treatment in bkpt_remove_location.

For 7.8, I'm thinking it's really safer to avoid resending
duplicate Z0 packets to stubs that don't support conditional
breakpoint evaluation on the target end. So I think we should
handle the "insert" path too.
BTW, did you try creating a test for the issue you discovered?
I don't think we have anything that triggers this already in
the tree, otherwise I think I'd have seen it with my
software-single-step-on-x86 branch.

I have done that at least two or three times before, and I was
never that happy with the result. This was before the patch
that led to this regression, and that one and the surrounding
patches were actually result of exactly wanting to modernize
software single-step. :-) The main issue is that SSS breakpoints
and all other breakpoints need to be inserted/removed at
different times, and that is surprisingly tricky to handle.
But I'm hoping/assuming the codebase is a little bit more
ready now for the next attempt. My main motivation is to
be able to enable non-stop without forcing displaced-stepping
for all single-steps (even those that don't step over a bkpt).

OK - I will take care of that.

I am wondering how to create that test, because it would be
a little tricky. We need to set ourselves into a situation
where we single-step out of a breakpoint with the second SSS
breakpoint being at the same address as one of the user breakpoints,
that second SSS not being the one that gets hit during that
first single-step-out-of-breakpoint. The only way I can see
to achieve that, at the moment, is with a function call.
The only reliable way to do that, I think, is with an assembly
file, which means it'd be limited to a certain architecture.

Ugh! Much trickier than I thought! :-(
So, to summarize, I'll start by working on a new patch, which I'll
send here. I'll also try to put the new testcase on the list, but
today is a little bit of a full day for me, so that part might have
to wait until Monday depending on how well my day goes.
Thanks, Pedro!

Yeah. Hmmm.
*thinks*
I have a very simple idea, around "jump" + "always-inserted".
E.g., with, where b+ indicates a user breakpoint:
00001 nop <- PC
b+ 00002 nop
- enable breakpoints always inserted mode
- step to 00002
- gdb removes the sss breakpoint.
- due to always inserted mode, gdb does not remove b+, but
due to the bug, it's actually no longer planted.
- the b+ breakpoint should be reported to the user.
- now do "jump $pc".
- expected:
The breakpoint should trigger immediately again.
- what we get on sss targets:
GDB loses control, and program runs to end.
Ah, I just went ahead and tried that against my by sss-on-x86
branch, and indeed it fails here, while it passes on
pristine mainline / hardware stepping.

I now filed bug 17000 for this , and went ahead and pushed the test
in, kfailed.

Subject: [PATCH] PR breakpoints/17000: user breakpoint not inserted if
software-single-step at same location - test
GDB gets confused when removing a software single-step breakpoint that
is at the same address as another breakpoint. Add a kfailed test.

PR breakpoints/17000
* breakpoint.c (non_sss_software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p):
New function, extracted from software_breakpoint_inserted_here_p.

Tested on ppc-aix with AdaCore's testsuite. Tested on x86_64-linux

Does it look better to you? One thing that we might have to consider
is the fact that z0 and Z0 packets are no longer balanced; not sure
if it would matter to any stubb in practice. I think we're into
grey waters anyway...
Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] User breakpoint ignored if software-single-step at same
location
with the following code...
12 Nested; -- break #1
13 return I; -- break #2
14 end;
(line 12 is a call to function Nested)
... we have noticed the following errorneous behavior on ppc-aix,
where, after having inserted a breakpoint at line 12 and line 13,
and continuing from the breakpoint at line 12, the program never
stops at line 13, running away until the program terminates:
% gdb -q func
(gdb) b func.adb:12
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000a24: file func.adb, line 12.
(gdb) b func.adb:13
Breakpoint 2 at 0x10000a28: file func.adb, line 13.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/func
Breakpoint 1, func () at func.adb:12
12 Nested; -- break #1
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 4128872) exited with code 02]
When resuming from the first breakpoint, GDB first tries to step
out of that first breakpoint. We rely on software single-stepping
on this platform, and it just so happens that the address of the
first software single-step breakpoint is the same as the user's
breakpoint #2 (0x10000a28). So, with infrun and target traces
turned on (but uninteresting traces snip'ed off), the "continue"
operation looks like this:
(gdb) c
### First, we insert the user breakpoints (the second one is an internal
### breakpoint on __pthread_init). The first user breakpoint is not
### inserted as we need to step out of it first.
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000d03f3800, xxx) = 0
### Then we proceed with the step-out-of-breakpoint...
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=1, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x10000a24
### That's when we insert the SSS breakpoints...
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
### ... then let the inferior resume...
target_resume (15335610, continue, 0)
infrun: wait_for_inferior ()
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 15335610 [process 15335610],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x100009ac
### At this point, we stopped at the second SSS breakpoint...
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We remove the SSS breakpoints...
target_remove_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_remove_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We find that we're not done, so we resume....
infrun: no stepping, continue
### And thus insert the user breakpoints again, except we're not
### inserting the second breakpoint?!?
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a24, xxx) = 0
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x100009ac
target_resume (-1, continue, 0)
infrun: prepare_to_wait
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = exited, status = 2
What happens is that the removal of the software single-step breakpoints
effectively removed the breakpoint instruction from inferior memory.
But because such breakpoints are inserted directly as raw breakpoints
rather than through the normal chain of breakpoints, we fail to notice
that one of the user breakpoints points to the same address and that
this user breakpoint is therefore effectively un-inserted. When
resuming after the single-step, GDB thinks that the user breakpoint
is still inserted and therefore does not need to insert it again.
This patch fixes the problem by skipping the removal of the software
single-step raw breakpoints if at least one non-software-single-step
breakpoint is still inserted at that location.
Additionally, this patch also avoids inserting the single-step
breakpoint when possible, mostly to avoid issues with targets
not supporting multiple breakpoints at same address. For instance,
some remote stubs might not support multiple Z0 packets at the same
address.

... when we hit this early return, the "b *0xaddr_where_sss_will_be_placed; s&; del"
case may well result in removing the sss breakpoint from the target before
the "step" actually finishes. So I think we should still create a bp_target_info
for the single-step breakpoint, even though we don't actually insert it.
I think it'd then be better if we do this in
deprecated_insert_raw_breakpoint/deprecated_remove_raw_breakpoint instead,
and to handle the mirror scenario you identified ("when the user deletes
his breakpoints, since the breakpoint chain doesn't know about the SSS
breakpoint, wouldn't it remove our SSS breakpoint insn?")
in bkpt_insert_location/bkpt_remove_location.
Note that with that early return as it is in the patch,
single_step_breakpoints_inserted returns the wrong thing:
int
single_step_breakpoints_inserted (void)
{
return (single_step_breakpoints[0] != NULL
|| single_step_breakpoints[1] != NULL);
}
E.g., assume we only have inserted one sss breakpoint,
and it happened to be on top of another breakpoint. Then
single_step_breakpoints_inserted returns false, which confuses
the callers.

About unbalanced: you're seeing that against gdbserver, right? If so,
that's OK. However, we shouldn't see unbalanced Z0/z0 with
"set remote conditional-breakpoints-packet off". If we do, that'd
better be addressed. See also

there should be an "else xfree" here, otherwise it's a leak.
But, the patch below ends up not touching this function though.
Let me know what you think, and feel free to push if it
looks OK. Tested on all combinations of
native|gdbserver X hardware-|software- stepping. At least,
I think I did. If not this exact version, some other minor
variation. :-)

Subject: [PATCH] User breakpoint ignored if software-single-step at same
location
with the following code...
12 Nested; -- break #1
13 return I; -- break #2
14 end;
(line 12 is a call to function Nested)
... we have noticed the following errorneous behavior on ppc-aix,
where, after having inserted a breakpoint at line 12 and line 13,
and continuing from the breakpoint at line 12, the program never
stops at line 13, running away until the program terminates:
% gdb -q func
(gdb) b func.adb:12
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000a24: file func.adb, line 12.
(gdb) b func.adb:13
Breakpoint 2 at 0x10000a28: file func.adb, line 13.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/func
Breakpoint 1, func () at func.adb:12
12 Nested; -- break #1
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 4128872) exited with code 02]
When resuming from the first breakpoint, GDB first tries to step out
of that first breakpoint. We rely on software single-stepping on this
platform, and it just so happens that the address of the first
software single-step breakpoint is the same as the user's breakpoint
#2 (0x10000a28). So, with infrun and target traces turned on (but
uninteresting traces snip'ed off), the "continue" operation looks like
this:
(gdb) c
### First, we insert the user breakpoints (the second one is an internal
### breakpoint on __pthread_init). The first user breakpoint is not
### inserted as we need to step out of it first.
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000d03f3800, xxx) = 0
### Then we proceed with the step-out-of-breakpoint...
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=1, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x10000a24
### That's when we insert the SSS breakpoints...
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
### ... then let the inferior resume...
target_resume (15335610, continue, 0)
infrun: wait_for_inferior ()
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 15335610 [process 15335610],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x100009ac
### At this point, we stopped at the second SSS breakpoint...
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We remove the SSS breakpoints...
target_remove_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_remove_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We find that we're not done, so we resume....
infrun: no stepping, continue
### And thus insert the user breakpoints again, except we're not
### inserting the second breakpoint?!?
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a24, xxx) = 0
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x100009ac
target_resume (-1, continue, 0)
infrun: prepare_to_wait
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = exited, status = 2
What happens is that the removal of the software single-step
breakpoints effectively removed the breakpoint instruction from
inferior memory. But because such breakpoints are inserted directly
as raw breakpoints rather than through the normal chain of
breakpoints, we fail to notice that one of the user breakpoints points
to the same address and that this user breakpoint is therefore
effectively un-inserted. When resuming after the single-step, GDB
thinks that the user breakpoint is still inserted and therefore does
not need to insert it again.
This patch teaches the insert and remove routines of both regular and
raw breakpoints to be aware of each other. Special care needs to be
applied in case the target supports evaluation of breakpoint
conditions or commands.

I managed to come up with a test that exposed this. Basically, it does:
(gdb) disassemble test
Dump of assembler code for function test:
0x0000000000400766 <+0>: push %rbp
0x0000000000400767 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
=> 0x000000000040076a <+4>: nop
0x000000000040076b <+5>: nop
0x000000000040076c <+6>: pop %rbp
0x000000000040076d <+7>: retq
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) si&
(gdb) del $bpnum
(gdb) disassemble test
Dump of assembler code for function test:
0x0000000000400766 <+0>: push %rbp
0x0000000000400767 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0x000000000040076a <+4>: nop
=> 0x000000000040076b <+5>: int3
0x000000000040076c <+6>: pop %rbp
0x000000000040076d <+7>: retq
End of assembler dump.
And note the bogus "int3" in the second disassemble output.
The test actually fails in a different way currently against
gdbserver:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp: define stepi_del_break
stepi_del_break
Cannot execute this command while the target is running.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp: stepi_del_break
The error is because GDB tried to remove the breakpoint from
memory while the thread was running, and we can't talk to the
server in the all-stop RSP until we get a stop reply, but in any
case, GDB shouldn't even be attempting to remove the breakpoint,
exactly because there was a sss breakpoint at the same address.
I've added a kfail, and pushed it.

Each line is compiled to two instructions.
27 i = 1; /* set foo break here */
0x0000025c <+20>: mov r3, #1

this test will fail, because it still stops at "foo break".

Ah, thanks. We need to replace then with asm("nop") then.

Yes, but it doesn't matter what the instruction is as
long as it's a single instruction that doesn't do much.
For archs that don't have "nop" (like e.g., IA64), we can
just use #ifdef to pick another insn.

Gosh, so many different mode combinations... So the fix for
PR17000 doesn't fix that failure when testing against gdbserver
_and_ hardware stepping. Well, of course it doesn't, because in
that case GDB will really try to remove the breakpoint, because
there's no overlapping software single-step breakpoint.
I've pushed this to detect the scenario and skip the test.

Here is the fixed version. Retested on all combinations of

Fixes both new tests.

Subject: [PATCH] User breakpoint ignored if software-single-step at same
location
with the following code...
12 Nested; -- break #1
13 return I; -- break #2
14 end;
(line 12 is a call to function Nested)
... we have noticed the following errorneous behavior on ppc-aix,
where, after having inserted a breakpoint at line 12 and line 13,
and continuing from the breakpoint at line 12, the program never
stops at line 13, running away until the program terminates:
% gdb -q func
(gdb) b func.adb:12
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10000a24: file func.adb, line 12.
(gdb) b func.adb:13
Breakpoint 2 at 0x10000a28: file func.adb, line 13.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/func
Breakpoint 1, func () at func.adb:12
12 Nested; -- break #1
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 4128872) exited with code 02]
When resuming from the first breakpoint, GDB first tries to step out
of that first breakpoint. We rely on software single-stepping on this
platform, and it just so happens that the address of the first
software single-step breakpoint is the same as the user's breakpoint
#2 (0x10000a28). So, with infrun and target traces turned on (but
uninteresting traces snip'ed off), the "continue" operation looks like
this:
(gdb) c
### First, we insert the user breakpoints (the second one is an internal
### breakpoint on __pthread_init). The first user breakpoint is not
### inserted as we need to step out of it first.
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000d03f3800, xxx) = 0
### Then we proceed with the step-out-of-breakpoint...
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=1, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x10000a24
### That's when we insert the SSS breakpoints...
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_insert_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
### ... then let the inferior resume...
target_resume (15335610, continue, 0)
infrun: wait_for_inferior ()
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 15335610 [process 15335610],
infrun: status->kind = stopped, signal = GDB_SIGNAL_TRAP
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED
infrun: stop_pc = 0x100009ac
### At this point, we stopped at the second SSS breakpoint...
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We remove the SSS breakpoints...
target_remove_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a28, xxx) = 0
target_remove_breakpoint (0x00000000100009ac, xxx) = 0
target_stopped_by_watchpoint () = 0
### We find that we're not done, so we resume....
infrun: no stepping, continue
### And thus insert the user breakpoints again, except we're not
### inserting the second breakpoint?!?
target_insert_breakpoint (0x0000000010000a24, xxx) = 0
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 15335610] at 0x100009ac
target_resume (-1, continue, 0)
infrun: prepare_to_wait
target_wait (-1, status, options={}) = 15335610, status->kind = exited, status = 2
What happens is that the removal of the software single-step
breakpoints effectively removed the breakpoint instruction from
inferior memory. But because such breakpoints are inserted directly
as raw breakpoints rather than through the normal chain of
breakpoints, we fail to notice that one of the user breakpoints points
to the same address and that this user breakpoint is therefore
effectively un-inserted. When resuming after the single-step, GDB
thinks that the user breakpoint is still inserted and therefore does
not need to insert it again.
This patch teaches the insert and remove routines of both regular and
raw breakpoints to be aware of each other. Special care needs to be
applied in case the target supports evaluation of breakpoint
conditions or commands.

You are making it us realize that the problem is more and more
complex than we thought! :-(. And I think we'll need a small
adjustment to your patch in order to account for something that
may have been missed. See below:

ISTM that you are assuming that there would only be one other breakpoint
inserted at this location. What if there were more?
If I am right, I suggest the addition of an extra parameter to
find_non_raw_software_breakpoint_inserted_here which would be
a pointer to a filtering function. If NULL, no filtering is done,
but if not NULL, the filter function must accept the bp_location
for find_non_raw_software_breakpoint_inserted_here to return it.

Same here, I think.

Yep, it's a valid assumption. Only one of those can be the one that
is actually inserted in the target. All others breakpoints are considered
duplicates, with bl->duplicate == 1 and bl->inserted == 0, and never reach
the target. The duplicate location logic in the tail of update_global_location_list
takes care of it:
/* This and the above ensure the invariant that the first location
is not duplicated, and is the inserted one.
All following are marked as duplicated, and are not inserted. */
if (loc->inserted)
swap_insertion (loc, *loc_first_p);
loc->duplicate = 1;
The one that is inserted will hold a merge of all the agent
expressions (in target_info.conditions and target_info.tcommands) of
the target-side conditions and commands of all breakpoints at that
address. Those are computed just before that single breakpoint
is inserted (build_target_condition_list, build_target_command_list).

Indeed! Thanks for explaining it.
I don't have any other comment on the patch. I ran it through our
testsuite on ppc-aix, JIC, and as expected, found that it fixed
the regression without introducing new ones. I think you can push
that version!
Thanks for your help, Pedro.

Pedro, here is the patch to tweak sss-bp-on-user-bp.exp.
I give up on looking for a portable "nop" for various arch. In
stead, we can use disassemble to get the next instruction address
and set breakpoint there. See details in the commit log below.

Yao (é½å°§)
Subject: [PATCH] Tweak sss-bp-on-user-bp.exp
sss-bp-on-user-bp.c has an assumption that write to integer can be
compiled to a single instruction, which isn't true on some arch, such
as arm. This test requires setting two breakpoints on two consecutive
instructions, so this patch is to get the address of the next
instruction via disassemble and set the 2nd breakpoint there. This
approach is portable.
This patch fixes the fails in sss-bp-on-user-bp.exp on arm-none-abi
target. There is no change in x86 test results. I also revert the
patch to PR breakpoints/17000, and verified that the patched
sss-bp-on-user-bp.exp still triggers the fail on
x86-with-software-single-step.

* gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp.exp: Don't set breakpoint on
"set bar break here". Get the next instruction address and
set breakpoint there. Remove "bar break" from the regexp
patterns.

... this is still not sufficient...
I pushed the commit below to skip the test on native targets too.
I was surprised the failure to remove the breakpoint mentioned
below didn't cause a warning. That'll be the subject of a
separate patch.

Subject: [PATCH] sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp sometimes fails on native GNU/Linux.
I noticed that sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp is racy on native GNU/Linux. I
sometimes still see an int3 in the disassembly:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp: set debug target 0
disassemble test
Dump of assembler code for function test:
0x0000000000400590 <+0>: push %rbp

0x0000000000400596 <+6>: pop %rbp
0x0000000000400597 <+7>: retq
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp: before/after disassembly matches
Enabling infrun/target debug logs, we can see the problem.
Simplified, that's:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp: define stepi_del_break
stepi_del_break
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (process 25311)
infrun: resume (step=1, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 25311] at 0x400594
LLR: PTRACE_SINGLESTEP process 25311, 0 (resume event thread)
target_resume (25311, step, 0)
native:target_xfer_partial (3, (null), 0x0, 0x32dce4c, 0x400595, 1) = 0, 0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(gdb) linux_nat_wait: [process -1], [TARGET_WNOHANG]
0x400595 is the address of the breakpoint, and "= 0" is
TARGET_XFER_EOF. That's default_memory_remove_breakpoint trying to
remove the breakpoint, but failing.
The problem is that we had just resumed the target and the native
GNU/Linux target can't read memory off of a running thread. Most of
the time, we get "lucky", because we manage to read memory before the
kernel actually schedules the target to run.
So just give up and skip the test on any target that uses hardware
stepping, not just remote targets.

* gdb.base/sss-bp-on-user-bp-2.exp: Look for target_resume(step)
in target debug output instead of looking at RSP packets,
disabling the test on any target that uses hardware stepping.
Update comments.
