[PATCH 0/2] Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

[PATCH 0/2] Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

[Carl Love via Gdb-patches]

GDB maintainers:

Per recent discussions with Bruno on how gdb should behave when reverse
stepping from a function call to the previous line:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-July/201035.html

I have updated the second patch in the series to address his comments. 
The current behavior of gdb when executing in reverse is gdb stops at
the call to a function, then a reverse-step or reverse-next stops at
the beginning of the same line instead of the previous line.  Bruno
pointed out that gdb on clang stops at the previous line not at the
beginning of the line.

The first patch in the series has not been changed.  I am reposting it
along with the second patch so it doesn't get lost.  

The patch series has been tested on Power10 LE and on X86-64.

[PATCH 1/2 ver 2] Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

[Carl Love via Gdb-patches]

Simon, GDB maintainers:

Version 2, updated the compiler check and handling for gcc version 6
and earlier.  Retested on Power 10.

Per the comments on version 4 for the gdb.reverse/func-map-to-same-
line.exp, I have added support to proc gdb_compile to enable or disable
generating line information as part of the debug information.  The two
new options are column-info and no-column-info.  

This patch implements the new options for gdb_compile.

These options have been tested with patch 2 of 2 on PowerPC with the
GCC and clang compilers.

Please let me know if the patch is acceptable for mainline.   Thanks.

                       Carl 


--------------------------
Add gdb_compile options column-info and no-column-info

This patch adds two new options to gdb_compile to specify if the compile
should or should not generate the line table information.  The
options are supported on clang and gcc version 7 and newer.

Patch has been tested on PowerPC with both gcc and clang.

I think you missed a bit on an old comment from simon. Way back in may, 
in this email 
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-May/199523.html, he 
mentioned:

For instance, if you used no-column-info with gcc 6
(which doesn't support column info at all), gdb_compile should succeed,
even if there isn't an option to disable column info with that compiler.
If you used column-info with gcc 6, gdb_compile would fail.

So I think this bit should throw an error if it detects gcc-[1-6].

I did some digging, and column-info were added in llvm back in october 
2012 (commit a2f7eb7c52cdc), which seems to mean support was added in 
llvm 3.2, but I don't see any mention in the release notes. In my 
opinion, this is old enough that we don't need to have a special case, 
but I wanted to mention, in case some maintainer thinks it should be 
dealt with.

If we should, before then, it seems that clang WOULD add column info by 
default, so it should compile with a warning here, and fail if the user 
requested no column info

It has been awhile, but as I recall, we decided that the we would
specify column-info and if the compiler doesn't support it then the
compiler will complain (i.e. fail) and we will let the failure be
handled by the normal compiler failure path.  I think that will work
fine?  If there is some concern that is not sufficient, I would be
happy to put in the test   if {[test_compiler_info {gcc-[1-6]-*}]}  for
the $opt == "column-info"  to have the script flag the error. 
Thoughts?

In the case where the compiler doesn't handle the no-column-info flag,
i.e. gcc 1-6, we handle that case by not adding the flag so the
compiler will not flag the error and fail.  In that case, it isn't
going to generate the column info anyways so we don't need to specify
no-column info.

oh, I see. I must have misread when looking back at that conversation. 
Sorry for the noise.

Also, disregard my comments about LLVM. I checked on IRC and the oldest 
GCC we support compiling/using for usptream stuff is form 2014, so I 
think we dont have to worry about 2012 clang :)

All in all, this patch looks good to go in. Reviewed-By: Guinevere 
Larsen <blarsen@redhat.com>

I hope the maintainers approve this series soon, it is a long time coming!

[PATCH 2/2 ver 7] Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

[Carl Love via Gdb-patches]

Bruno, Simon, GDB maintainers:

Version 7, addressed behavior of GDB when stepping backward thru a
function call as mentioned by Bruno.  GDB would stop at the function
call and then a reverse step/next would cause GDB to stop at the first
instruction of the same line as the function call instead of stopping
in the previous line.  The behavior was fixed and the various test
programs were updated to remove one of the two reverse step or next
instructions required to reach the previous line.

Version 6, fixed various code style issues in the GDB source.  The
testcases were updated to use with_test_prefix for each gdb test in the
step and next test cases, switch using the standard_testfile, use
foreach_with_prefix to combine otherwise identical tests.  Retested on
Power 10.

Version 5, changed comments in test case func-map-to-same-line.c. 
Patch 1/2 implemented the new options for gdb_compile.  Updated the
call to proc run_tests to use the new gdb_compile options in a
foreach_with_prefix loop.

Version 4, additional fixes for gcc version check, wrap function calls
using "with_test_prefix", move load_lib dwarf.exe. Fixed typo noted by
Luis.

Version 3, added the gcc version check as discussed further from
version 2 of the patch.  Also updated the tests to check for supporting
reverse execution rather than requiring recording.  I also noticed
there were a couple more instances of a requirement check, i.e. if []
which I changed to "require" per the current style for checking on the
test requirements.


The following patch fixes issues on PowerPC with the reverse-step and
reverse-next instructions when there are multiple assignment statements
on the same line and when there are multiple function calls on the same
line. The commit log below discusses these issues in further depth. 
The discussion included what the correct operation should be for these
commands based on the GDB documentation.  The proposed patch at that
time changed how the commands worked on other platforms such as X86 in
a way they no longer matched the documentation.

The issue is the line table contains multiple entries for the same
source line.  The patch adds a function to search the line table to
find the address of the first instruction of a line.  When setup up the
reverse stepping range, the function is called to make sure the start
of the range corresponds to the address of the first instruction for
the line.  This approach was used.  When Luis initially developed the
patch, he considered merging the contiguous ranges in the line table
when reading the line tables. He decided it was better to work with the
data directly in the line table rather than creating and using a
modified version of the line table.

The following patch fixes the execution of the reveres-step and
reverse-next commands for both senarios of multiple statements on the
same line for PowerPC and aarch64-linux.  Unlike the previous patch, it
does not change the operation of the commands on other platforms, i.e.
X86.  The patch adds new test cases for both scenarios to verify they
work correctly.

The patch has been tested on PowerPC, Intel X86 and aarch64-linux with
no new regression failures. 

Please let me know if the patch is acceptable for mainline.  Thanks.

                   Carl



--------------------------------
Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

There are a couple of scenarios where the GDB reverse-step and reverse-next
commands do not work correctly.

Scenario 1 issue description by Luis Machado:

When running GDB's testsuite on aarch64-linux/Ubuntu 20.04 (also spotted on
the ppc backend), I noticed some failures in gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp
and gdb.reverse/solib-reverse.exp.

The failure happens around the following code:

38  b[1] = shr2(17);          /* middle part two */
40  b[0] = 6;   b[1] = 9;     /* generic statement, end part two */
42  shr1 ("message 1\n");     /* shr1 one */

Normal execution:

- step from line 38 will land on line 40.
- step from line 40 will land on line 42.

Reverse execution:
- step from line 42 will land on line 40.
- step from line 40 will land on line 40.
- step from line 40 will land on line 38.

V
The problem here is that line 40 contains two contiguous but distinct
PC ranges in the line table, like so:

Line 40 - [0x7ec ~ 0x7f4]
Line 40 - [0x7f4 ~ 0x7fc]

The two distinct ranges are generated because GCC started outputting source
column information, which GDB doesn't take into account at the moment.

When stepping forward from line 40, we skip both of these ranges and land on
line 42. When stepping backward from line 42, we stop at the start PC of the
second (or first, going backwards) range of line 40.

Since we've reached ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_start, we stop
stepping backwards.

---------------------------------------------------------

Scenario 2 issue described by Pedro Alves:

The following explanation of the issue was taken from the gdb mailing list
discussion of the withdrawn patch to change the behavior of the reverse-step
and reverse-next commands.  Specifically, message from Pedro Alves
<pedro@palves.net> where he demonstrates the issue where you have multiple
function calls on the same source code line:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-January/196110.html

The source line looks like:

   func1 ();  func2 ();

so stepping backwards over that line should always stop at the first
instruction of the line, not in the middle.  Let's simplify this.

Here's the full source code of my example:

(gdb) list 1
1       void func1 ()
2       {
3       }
4
5       void func2 ()
6       {
7       }
8
9       int main ()
10      {
11        func1 (); func2 ();
12      }

Compiled with:

 $ gcc reverse.c -o reverse -g3 -O0
 $ gcc -v
 ...
 gcc version 11.3.0 (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04)

Now let's debug it with target record, using current gdb git master (f3d8ae90b236),
without your patch:

So far so good, a "next" stepped over the whole of line 11 and stopped at line 12.

Let's confirm where we are now:

 (gdb) disassemble /s

    0x0000555555555161 <+34>:    ret

Good, we're at the first instruction of line 12.

Now let's undo the "next", with "reverse-next":

 (gdb) reverse-next
 11        func1 (); func2 ();

Seemingly stopped at line 11.  Let's see exactly where:

 (gdb) disassemble /s

 (gdb)

And lo, we stopped in the middle of line 11!  That is a bug, we should have
stepped back all the way to the beginning of the line.  The "reverse-next"
should have fully undone the prior "next" command.

The above issues were fixed by introducing a new function that looks for
adjacent PC ranges for the same line, until we notice a line change. Then
we take that as the start PC of the range.  The new start PC for the range
is used for the control.step_range_start when setting up a step range.

The test case gdb.reverse/map-to-same-line.exp is added to test the fix
for the issues in scenario 1.

The test case gdb.reverse/func-map-to-same-line.exp was added to test the
fix for scenario 2 when the binary was compiled with and without line
table information.

Other than that, I have a very minor nit inlined, but  you can take or

pretty small nit, but I think it is better to just use

ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_start
     = update_line_range_start (stop_pc, ecs);

Just because it is kind of weird, to see the step_range_start being set 
to stop pc, and made me do a double take :)

Yea, I may have done it like that to make it easier to print the new
stop_pc value when developing the patch.  Honestly, at this point I
don't recall for sure.  Anyway, I updated the code as follows:

  if (execution_direction == EXEC_REVERSE)
    {
      CORE_ADDR stop_pc = ecs->event_thread->stop_pc ();

      /* Make sure the stop_pc is set to the beginning of the line.  */
      if (stop_pc != ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_start)
        ecs->event_thread->control.step_range_start
          = update_line_range_start (stop_pc, ecs);
    }

  keep_going (ecs);

I made the change locally and will include it in any future
versions/commits.  Not sure it is worth sending out a new version with
the change at the moment.  Lets see if I get any additional comments
from the community first.  Thanks for mentioning that.

[PATCH 0/2] Fix reverse stepping multiple contiguous PC ranges over the line table.

[Carl Love via Gdb-patches]

GDB maintainers:

I received a few messages from Guinevere about these two patches.  In
the end, we agreed the first patch was OK.  There was a minor code
change suggested for the second patch that I have implemented.  Since I
have not received any additional suggestions on the second patch, it is
time to ping the first patch and post the updated second patch for
review.  

The first patch in the series has not been changed.  I am reposting it
along with the second patch so it doesn't get lost.  

The patch series has been tested on Power10 LE and on X86-64.

Please let me know if these two patches are acceptable for mainline. 
Thanks.

I have tested this patch with both GCC and Clang. I can verify it fixes 
the issue, adds no regression, and even fixes the final issues when 
testing gdb.reverse with clang!

Thanks for the help testing and that it fixes the clang failures for
test gdb.reverse.

Ping.  I was wondering if anyoneany of the maintainers has had time to
review these patches?  Thanks for your time and effort on the patch.
