Breakpoints, don't skip prologue of ifunc resolvers with debug info
In v2: - The minsym/symbol matching in convert_linespec_to_sals is done differently. The v1 bsearch method wouldn't work for PPC64, given function descriptors. convert_linespec_to_sals will be touched again later in the series, for PPC64. - Moved declarations of locals closer to uses, because at some point I managed to reuse 'i' in an inner loop messing the outer loop... Without this patch, some of the tests added to gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp by a following patch fail like so: FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: break gnu_ifunc FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: before resolving: info breakpoints FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: after resolving: break gnu_ifunc FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=0: set-break: after resolving: info breakpoints FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: before resolving: break gnu_ifunc FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: before resolving: info breakpoints FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: after resolving: break gnu_ifunc FAIL: gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp: resolver_attr=0: resolver_debug=1: resolved_debug=1: set-break: after resolving: info breakpoints All of them trigger iff: - you have debug info for the ifunc resolver. - the resolver and the user-visible symbol have the same name. If you have an ifunc that has a resolver with the same name as the user visible symbol, debug info for the resolver masks out the ifunc minsym. When you set a breakpoint by name on the user visible symbol, GDB finds the DWARF symbol for the resolver, and thinking that it's a regular function, sets a breakpoint location past its prologue. Like so, location 1.2, before the ifunc is resolved by the inferior: (gdb) break gnu_ifunc Breakpoint 2 at 0x7ffff7bd36ea (2 locations) (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 1 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE> 1.1 y 0x00007ffff7bd36ea <gnu_ifunc> 1.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34 (gdb) And like so, location 2.2, if you set the breakpoint after the ifunc is resolved by the inferior (to "final"): (gdb) break gnu_ifunc Breakpoint 5 at 0x400757 (2 locations) (gdb) info breakpoints Num Type Disp Enb Address What 2 breakpoint keep y <MULTIPLE> 2.1 y 0x000000000040075a in final at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-resd.c:21 2.2 y 0x00007ffff7bd36f2 in gnu_ifunc at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gnu-ifunc-lib.c:34 (gdb) I don't think this is right because when users set a breakpoint at an ifunc, they don't care about debugging the resolver. Instead what you should is a single location for the ifunc in the first case, and a single location of the ifunc target in the second case. gdb/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linespec.c (struct bound_minimal_symbol_search_key): New. (convert_linespec_to_sals): Sort minimal symbols earlier. Don't skip first line if we found a GNU ifunc minimal symbol by name. (compare_msymbols): Change parameters to work with a destructured lhs minsym. (compare_msymbols_for_qsort, compare_msymbols_for_bsearch): New functions.
