[rfc][3/3] gdbserver bi-arch for ppc: enable bi-arch support

[rfc][3/3] gdbserver bi-arch for ppc: enable bi-arch support

[Ulrich Weigand]

Hello,

this patch finally enables bi-arch ppc support.  It follows the same
pattern as the s390 variant by providing a ppc_arch_setup routine that
does a run-time check whether the inferior is 64-bit and installs the
appropriate init_registers_... routine.

Like on s390, adaptations to ppc_get_pc/ppc_set_pc and ppc_fill_gregset
were necessary to deal with varying register sizes.

Tested on ppc-linux and on ppc64-linux (both with -m64 and -m32) in
a native gdbserver test setup, no regressions.

Bye,
Ulrich

This #ifdef can go away; in the manually written regformats files,
calls to collect_register_by_name are the only thing that rely on
the register name, so you could just rename it to msr.

Otherwise OK.

I hope we can autodetect AltiVec and SPE too... Maybe we have to
resort to checking the inferior's auxv?

Ah, right.  I've updated the patch accordingly.

Thanks; I've checked in the patch below.

Agreed.  I'll see if I can put a patch along those lines together.
However, I don't have any non-AltiVec or SPE systems available;
would you be able to test on those?

[rfc/rft] ppc gdbserver: autodetect AltiVec and SPE

That would be great, thanks!

What you do think about this patch?  It uses the AT_HWCAP auxv entry
to check for AltiVec and SPE.  One minor annoyance is that you need
to know the target wordsize in order to correctly interpret the auxv
array.  Therefore, we have to do the 64/32 check first, and only then
can we read auxv.

AltiVec and SPE regset access is now enabled uncoditionally, but the
fill/store routines make sure the corresponding HWCAP is set to avoid
accessing registers that are not present in the select register map.

With SPE there were a number of additional issues:
- The ppc_regmap used conditional defines to disable access to 
  floating point registers; I'm now using two different regmaps
  and switch them in the arch_setup routine.
- As the regmap was defined only for 32-bit host machines, I've
  disabled SPE support on 64-bit hosts.  I don't think there are
  any 64-bit machines with SPE anyway, right?
- There was a conditional check for fpscr in ppc_cannot_store_register;
  but as this routine is never called for fpscr in SPE mode, the check
  seems superfluous and I just removed it.

Tested on powerpc-linux and powerpc64-linux (-m64 and -m32) with no
regressions; properly detects AltiVec support.

Bye,
Ulrich

It looks great to me.  It may be a little while before I can test
it, though.  Thanks again for working on this!

That's right.

Did you get around to testing this?

I've found a problem in --multi mode; it did not reset ppc_hwcap
in ppc_arch_setup before accessing the register cache, causing
gdbserver to crash with "unknown register vr0" on a second attach.

Fixed in the version below.

Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* configure.srv [powerpc64-*-linux*]: Remove powerpc-e500.o from
	srv_regobj.  Remove rs6000/powerpc-e500.xml and rs6000/power-spe.xml	
	from reg_xmlfiles.
	* linux-ppc-low.c: Include <elf.h>.
	(PPC_FEATURE_HAS_ALTIVEC, PPC_FEATURE_HAS_SPE): Define.
	(ppc_hwcap): New global variable.
	(ppc_regmap): Remove __SPE__ #ifdef sections.
	(ppc_regmap_e500): New global variable.
	(ppc_cannot_store_register): Remove __SPE__ special case.
	(ppc_get_hwcap): New function.
	(ppc_arch_setup): Use it to determine whether inferior supports
	AltiVec or SPE registers.  Set the_low_target.regmap if appropriate.
	(ppc_fill_vrregset, ppc_store_vrregset): Define unconditionally.
	Do not access registers if target does not support AltiVec.
	(ppc_fill_evrregset, ppc_store_evrregset): Define unconditionally.
	Do not access registers if target does not support SPE.
	(target_regsets): Unconditionally include AltiVec and SPE regsets.

Looks like you have to rerun configure.  Maybe a missing dependency
somewhere (Makefile on configure.srv?).

No, it was a clean build. I got what's happening. The patch removed
powerpc-e500.o from powerpc64-*-linux*, because e500 is 32-bit only. The
call to init_registers_powerpc_e500 is protected by an #ifndef
__powerpc64__, so it shouldn't be a problem. But in practice it is,
because when using plain "../src/configure && make" in a ppc64 machine
with a 32-bit default gcc, the target is autodetected to be
powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu. Thus, that call to
init_registers_powerpc_e500 will be compiled in (it's a 32 bit
compilation), but powerpc-e500.o won't be included (it's a powerpc64
target).

Is such way of compiling 32-bit GDB in a ppc64 machine with 32-bit
default gcc not supported? Must one always use --target option to
configure in such case?

I see.  Anything is supported that we're willing to fix... The
simplest possible fix would be to add the e500 objects.  Does
gdbserver work OK with this patch?

Sorry for the breakage.  My understanding is that building a 32-bit
powerpc64-linux gdbserver was never supported, and would fail at 
run time because ptrace does not support accessing 64-bit inferior
registers from a 32-bit debugger (at least not using the standard
ptrace functions).

However, with bi-arch support, I guess it now would actually work
at least for debugging 32-bit inferiors.

I'm wondering whether it wouldn't make sense now to drop the
configure-time distinction between powerpc-linux and powerpc64-linux
for gdbserver (just like there already is no such distinction 
for GDB itself).

This would mean no matter whether you configure for powerpc-linux
or for powerpc64-linux, the resulting gdbserver would always support
32-bit inferiors, and would in addition support 64-bit inferiors iff
it was built as a 64-bit executable.

Dan, what do you think?

Bye,
Ulrich

Agreed.  We already know that the ppc64 files compile OK with -m32,
since Thiago's doing it.

OK, I've committed the following patch to implement this merge
(and the same for s390-linux vs. s390x-linux).  Tested on 
powerpc-linux, powerpc64-linux, s390-linux, and s390x-linux
via local gdbserver testing.

Bye,
Ulrich

This doesn't seem to be true.

gdbserver: Unknown register fpscr requested

There's no code to use PPC_PTRACE_GETREGS, so we do in fact reach
here.  I'm retesting with

  /* Some kernels do not allow us to store fpscr.  */
  if (!(ppc_hwcap & PPC_FEATURE_HAS_SPE) && regno == find_regno ("fpscr"))

Unfortunately that didn't fix it.

The linux-dp.exp failures are noise; I have a patch.  The store.exp
failures mean that SPE registers aren't working.

It looks like we've fallen afoul of the code which fetches the
first register set, then if it is not available does not try any
further register sets.  So when we try PTRACE_GETVRREGS and fail
we never try PTRACE_GETEVRREGS.

This code's bitten me before.  It's even worse now, because if which
ptrace operations succeed depends on the inferior's mode, the values
may change during multi.  So I've pulled it out.  The attached patch,
combined with yours, produces no regressions on any of (SPE, AltiVec,
classic PowerPC).

Want to check them both in?
