             Bug #: 15507
           Summary: .dynamic section is not at the expected address
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: shlibs
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: bccheng@android.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Currently Android is using gdbserver from 7.1 and gdb from 7.3. I tried to
upgrade Android gdb to 7.6 but I found it complained with the following
message: 

(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0xb6fc2448: file <test_program>/main.c, line 10.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
warning: .dynamic section for "<test_program>" is not at the expected address
(wrong library or version mismatch?)
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0xffffe570
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0xffffe570
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0xffffe570
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0xffffe570

After digging into the problem a bit more, I think the problem is in
solib-svr4.c/svr4_current_sos() where if gdbserver responds to the
svr4_current_sos_via_xfer_libraries call, it is not skipping the first entry in
the link map:


  if (svr4_current_sos_via_xfer_libraries (&library_list))
    {
      if (library_list.main_lm)
        {
          info = get_svr4_info ();
          info->main_lm_addr = library_list.main_lm;
        }

      return library_list.head ? library_list.head : svr4_default_sos ();
    }

And here is the xml string:

<library-list-svr4 version="1.0"><library name="<test_program>" lm="0xb6fed108"
l_addr="0x0" l_ld="0x0"/><library name="/system/bin/linker" lm="0xb6ffe75c"
l_addr="0xb6fee000" l_ld="0xb6ffded8"/></library-list-svr4>

In the same function it has the following code to deal with older gdbserver
where it can ignore the first entry in the link map:


  /* Assume that everything is a library if the dynamic loader was loaded
     late by a static executable.  */
  if (exec_bfd && bfd_get_section_by_name (exec_bfd, ".dynamic") == NULL)
    ignore_first = 0;
  else
    ignore_first = 1;

  back_to = make_cleanup (svr4_free_library_list, &head);

  /* Walk the inferior's link map list, and build our list of
     `struct so_list' nodes.  */
  lm = solib_svr4_r_map (info);
  if (lm)
    svr4_read_so_list (lm, &link_ptr, ignore_first);

I tried a simple hack and gdb 7.6 starts to work for Android with gdbserver
7.6:

-      return library_list.head ? library_list.head : svr4_default_sos ();
+      if (exec_bfd && bfd_get_section_by_name (exec_bfd, ".dynamic") == NULL)
+       return library_list.head ? library_list.head : svr4_default_sos ();
+      else
+       return library_list.head ? library_list.head : svr4_default_sos ();

Not sure if there is a better patch fix the problem.

The two branches of that 'if' look the same to me.
Did you paste the wrong patch?

Anyway, see the contribution checklist for details on
how to submit a patch:

Oops I pasted the wrong code. It should be:

      if (exec_bfd && bfd_get_section_by_name (exec_bfd, ".dynamic") == NULL)
        return library_list.head ? library_list.head : svr4_default_sos ();
      else
        return library_list.head && library_list.head->next ?
            library_list.head->next : svr4_default_sos ();

Thanks for pointer to the contribution checklist and will follow up there.
