When investigating a set of GCC testsuite failures on 64-bit Solaris 10/11
PR target/51753
Many gcc.dg/simultate-thread tests fail on Solaris 10+/x86
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51753
it turned out that they were cause by a gdb bug. The test boils down to
single-stepping the program under test under gdb, calling a function
before and after every single step:
gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/simulate-thread/simulate-thread.gdb
When I compared the execution trace between Solaris/x64 and
Linux/x86_64, I found that the Solaris gdb behaved completely
nonsensical: e.g. in this code snippet
ret = __atomic_exchange_n (&value, max, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST);
if (ret != zero || value != max)
test_abort();
both conditions were false, still test_abort was entered, but left again
without doing anything. When I looked at %eflags in gdb, I found that
it was always shown as 0/empty, which makes no sense. Digging around in
gdb, I found the culprit: in both amd64-sol2-tdep.c
(amd64_sol2_gregset_reg_offset) and i386-sol2-nat.c
(amd64_sol2_gregset64_reg_offs, amd64_sol2_gregset32_reg_offs) the
offset for %eflags was wrong: <sys/regset.h> has
#define EFL 16
for the 32-bit case, but
#define REG_RFL 19
for 64-bit, while 16 in 64-bit is
#define REG_ERR 16
This explains what I was seeing: when printing $eflags, I was actually
seeing the %err value (always 0, it seems), and when restoring registers
after a call, %eflags was effectively cleared, explaining the
nonsensical control flow I was seeing.
The following patch fixes this and fixes all but one of the
gcc.dg/simulate-thread tests. I still have to investigate that last
one.
Ok for mainline?

* amd64-sol2-tdep.c (amd64_sol2_gregset_reg_offset): Correct
%eflags offset.
* i386-sol2-nat.c (amd64_sol2_gregset64_reg_offs)
(amd64_sol2_gregset32_reg_offs): Likewise.

Looks obvious to me. Ok.
You may want to double check the other registers if you haven't yet.

Thanks, installed.

I already did and found no other problems.
