[PATCH] use gdbarch_addr_bits_remove for entry point address

[PATCH] use gdbarch_addr_bits_remove for entry point address

[Yao Qi]

Hi,
This patch attempts to clear the lsb of the entry address, which might
be set by compiler for thumb code.

This patch does something similar to this one,

  RFC: Handle ISA bits for the entry point
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00682.html

Regression tested on arm-none-linux-gnueabi.  Is it OK?

If this is needed here, then it would look to me that  gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr
would be needed too.  See the function right below  init_entry_point_info:

/* If there is a valid and known entry point, function fills *ENTRY_P with it
   and returns non-zero; otherwise it returns zero.  */

int
entry_point_address_query (CORE_ADDR *entry_p)
{
  struct gdbarch *gdbarch;
  CORE_ADDR entry_point;

  if (symfile_objfile == NULL || !symfile_objfile->ei.entry_point_p)
    return 0;

  gdbarch = get_objfile_arch (symfile_objfile);

  entry_point = symfile_objfile->ei.entry_point;

  /* Make certain that the address points at real code, and not a
     function descriptor.  */
  entry_point = gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr (gdbarch, entry_point,
						    &current_target);

  /* Remove any ISA markers, so that this matches entries in the
     symbol table.  */
  entry_point = gdbarch_addr_bits_remove (gdbarch, entry_point);

  *entry_p = entry_point;
  return 1;
}

So you if put the gdbarch_addr_bits_remove call in init_entry_point_info,
ISTM the same call in entry_point_address_query is no longer necessary.  And
that it'd be better to move gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr too, I'd think (and I
don't know if there's an order they should be called in; moving both preserves the order).
Maybe there are yet other callers that could have gdbarch_addr_bits_remove calls
removed as redundant too, I haven't checked.

Pedro,
when wrote this patch, I thought of the order of
convert_from_func_ptr_addr and addr_bits_remove, is it required that
both of them should be called together (convert_from_func_ptr_addr
first and then addr_bits_remove)?  Examining the code shows that it is
not required (addr_bits_remove doesn't follow
convert_from_func_ptr_addr where it is called).  Further more, do we
need to call addr_bits_remove first to clear the bits of 'addr', pass
'addr' to 'convert_from_func_ptr_addr', and clear the return value of
'convert_from_func_ptr_addr'?  To be honest, I don't know.

> Maybe there are yet other callers that could have gdbarch_addr_bits_remove calls

AFAICT, there isn't any.   Patch below is to move both
convert_from_func_ptr_addr and addr_bits_remove from
'entry_point_address_query' to 'init_entry_point_info', as I don't know
the right order, let us keep using the current one.

b.t.w, shall addr_bits_remove be called after every place where
convert_from_func_ptr_addr is called?  We don't do this, and it is
another issue, if it is.

Please be more specific:

 	* objfiles.c (entry_point_address_query): Call
	gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr and gdbarch_addr_bits_remove
	here ...
 	(init_entry_point_info): ... instead of here.

That's more useful for archaeology.

"Likewise" here doesn't make sense.  Perhaps:

 	* solib-svr4.c (exec_entry_point): Call gdbarch_addr_bits_remove.

Unfortunately, this patch breaks GDB on ia64 (linux and hpux) :-(.
Take any program, and try loading it in GDB:

    (gdb) file hello
    Reading symbols from /[...]/hello...
    zsh: 9462 segmentation fault  /[...]/gdb

What happens is that we've now added a call to
gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr inside init_entry_point_info,
which is called from syms_from_objfile *before* the objfile's
section_offsets array is allocated.

On ia64, gdbarch_convert_from_func_ptr_addr resolves to
ia64_convert_from_func_ptr_addr, which calls find_pc_section.
This, in turns calls update_section_map, which does a sort
on all sections, where qsort_cmp uses the obj_section_addr
macro:

#define obj_section_addr(s)                                             \
  (bfd_get_section_vma ((s)->objfile->obfd, s->the_bfd_section)         \
   + obj_section_offset (s))

... and obj_section_offset is defined as:

#define obj_section_offset(s)                                           \
  (((s)->objfile->section_offsets)->offsets[(s)->the_bfd_section->index])
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Basically, to resolve whether our pointer is pointing to a descriptor
or not, we need to find its associated section. But to find the section,
we need the section_offsets to be defined.

So, to me, it looks like the attempt at resolving the entry point
is performed too early. And to make things even more fun, there
are cases where we do not allocated section_offsets at all:

  if (objfile->sf == NULL)
    return;     /* No symbols.  */

But the other worrisome element is that most calls to
init_entry_point_info are made from routines used as
the "sym_init" struct sym_fns hook, and this hook is
in fact called, in syms_from_objfile, before the section_offsets
table is allocated.

Since syms_from_objfile is calling init_entry_point_info,
it seems to me that the call to init_entry_point_info in
the "sym_init" hooks are redundant, and could be removed,
clearing one hurdle.

The other hurdle is making sure that init_entry_point_info
is called *after* the section offsets have been allocated.
Which means we need to make sure that we always allocate
some, including in the case where no symbols are found.
This must also become a documented invariant.

Attached is a prototype that seems to work on ia64-linux.
I've only tested it against our testsuite for now, but it will
need to be tested with the official testsuite on GNU/Linux,
as well as on Darwin, AiX, and maybe Windows (although,
I think the changes removing the calls to init_entry_point_info
should be fine).

Note that there is a second call to init_entry_point_info,
this time inside reread_symbols, but this one should be fine.

This patch also begs the question whether we might want to
move init_entry_point_info to objfiles.c and make it static.

Thoughts?

The change here looks straightforward to me, but I agree that we need 
test to double-check.

How about add an assert in init_entry_point_info?

   gdb_assert (objfile->section_offsets != NULL);

I tested this patch (with conflict resolved, this patch can't be applied 
cleanly to FSF GDB trunk) on x86_64-linux with both board file unix and 
native-gdbserver respectively.  No regression.

Yeah, looks 'objfile->section_offsets' has been already set when call 
init_entry_point_info in reread_symbols.

I guess you meant "symfile.c" rather than "objfiles.c".  I am not sure, 
looks init_entry_point_info is not related to "symfile.c" very much, but 
I am not against this moving.

Can we use 'num_offsets' here, because I see these two lines in some 
lines below here,

       /* Just copy in the offset table directly as given to us.  */
       objfile->num_sections = num_offsets;

in this way, we don't call 'bfd_count_sections'.

Seems fine to me.

I wonder why this crash wasn't visible before.  AFAICS from find_sym_fns,
the only kinds of objfiles that can be loaded without debugging symbols are
srec, ihex and tekhex (the latter can have symbols, but we don't read in those).

Ah, indeed, it was.  I can reproduce it:

We crash because bfd presents us a section:

$ objdump -h dump.srec

dump.srec:     file format srec

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA               LMA               File off  Algn
  0 .sec1         00000001  0048f020  0048f020  0000001e  2**0
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD


and we allocate one entry for it in objfile->sections..sections_end but not
in the offsets table, and then walk over objfile->sections..sections_end:

#define ALL_OBJFILE_OSECTIONS(objfile, osect)	\
  for (osect = objfile->sections; osect < objfile->sections_end; osect++)

I'd put this "No symbols" comment right after the '{' after the if.

Sold :)

Attached is the patch I am currently testing. It already passed
testing on ia64-linux (ie: I reverted the patch triggering the
crash, ran the testsuite, then un-reverted it, and applied this
patch), no regression. It passesd testing on x64_64-linux as well.

Testing on x86_64-darwin is under way, and I will add ppc-aix and
x86-windows using AdaCore's testsuite.

But given the nature of the changes triggering the cross-platform
testing, I remain fairly confident of the results.

It seems like a good idea to me.
(I think you meant symfile.c here.)

I forgot about this one when I sent my patch. We could
add one separately. But it feels a little strange to put it
there, because it's not obvious why. If anything, I feel
it should be right next to where the access is made, which
might be a little difficult, given that it's in a macro and
not a function.

I do not think so. The lines you quote take into the fact that
the function was passed a valid num_offsets.  But this is not
always the case: You can pass a section_addr_info insted, or
even nothing.

OK - unless there are objections, I will see if I can move it,
but do it as a followup patch. Thanks, Tom.

Tested was succesful on all platforms.

Here is a patch. I don't think it would be controversial, so
I checked it in right away. It's easy to adjust or revert if
requested.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * objfiles.c (init_entry_point_info): Move function from here...
        * symfile.c (init_entry_point_info): ... to there.  Make static.
        * objfiles.h (objfiles.h): Delete declaration.
