Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Handling multiple JITers
Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 11:38:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1590397723.git.tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> (raw)

Hi,

This short series is about handling multiple JITers.

GDB defines an interface that JITers are expected to conform to, so
that JITed code can be debugged.  In particular, a JITer should invoke
(empty) functions from that interface at important points in the JIT
flow.  GDB puts breakpoints at these functions to be notified about
essential JIT events.  See

  https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/JIT-Interface.html

GDB's internal JIT-tracking mechanism assumes that there is a single
objfile that contains the JIT symbols on which GDB inserts the
notification breakpoints.  This brings the problem that if multiple
JITers exist, only the first one will be decorated with JIT breakpoints
and the JIT events from the others will be missed.

The series proposed here makes GDB track multiple objfiles with JIT
symbols.

Regards.
Baris
