Here's what's to be done for maintaining GNU Binutils and GDB.


[[!toc levels=2]]


# General Information


## [[/Binutils]]

As these tools primarily deal with low-level parts of the target architecture
and the object file format (ELF ABI), which are essentially (at least meant to
be) the same, there shouldn't be many differences comparing the binutils
between the GNU/Hurd and GNU/Linux ports, for example.  There are a few,
though, as explained below.


## [[/GDB]]

GDB needs an processor architecture as well as operating system port.

(2014-02-14).

  * Globally

      * a.out (such as `ld/emulparams/i386linux.sh`, `ld/emultempl/linux.em`,
        etc.), COFF, PE image support and 64-bit support are not interesting.

      * In the testsuites, `.exp` and `.d` files very likely should not only
        care for `*-*-linux*`, but also `*-*-gnu*`.  (If they need to be
        conditionalized like this at all.)

  * `bfd/`

      * `config.bfd`

          * `i[3-7]86-*-gnu*`

            Comparing to `i[3-7]86-*-linux-*`:

              * `i386linux_vec` -- a.out.

              * `i386pei_vec` -- PE.

              * 64 bit.

      * `configure.host`

        Souldn't need anything.  x86 Linux neither.

      * `configure.in`

        Linux:

          * `COREFILE=trad-core.lo` with `TRAD_HEADER='"hosts/i386linux.h"'`

            We don't have any such core file support configured.  TODO: should
            we?  Where is this core file reading exactly used?  GDB?

          * `i386linux_vec` -- a.out.

          * `i386pei_vec` -- PE.

  * `binutils/`

      * `configure.tgt`

  * `gas/`

      * `config/te-gnu.h`

        C.f. `te-linux.h`; search tree for `TE_LINUX` vs. `TE_GNU` usage.

          * `tc-i386.h`

            Sole `TE_LINUX` usage is for a.out.

      * `configure.tgt`

  * `gdb/`

      * Have a look at config/i386/i386gnu.mh.

      * configure.tgt

          * glibc-tdep et al. also for GNU/Hurd?

      * [[service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/gdb/gdbserver]]

      * In `gdb/gnu-nat.c:gnu_wait`, we don't implement
        `gdb/target/wait.h:TARGET_WNOHANG`.  What is this needed for?

  * `libdecnumber/`

    Should/can probably align to GNU/Linux.

  * `ld/`

     * `configure.host`

         * `*-*-gnu*`

            TODO: resolve `crt0.o` vs. `crt1.o` issue.  [[Testsuite
            failures|service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/binutils#static]].

      * `configure.tgt`

          * `i[3-7]86-*-gnu*`

            Compare to `i[3-7]86-*-linux-*`, but don't need a.out (`i386linux`)
            and 64 bit support.

  * `__ehdr_start symbol`, c84ed8d89d0b8bf5a2968d465f77ac24bcfc40c2 -- can this
    be helpful in the exec server, glibc, or elsewhere?  Used in GDB (BFD)
    commit bdbd9758806ed855af89244870fdc52cf3ff09bc.
    Used in glibc commit 288f7d79fe2dcc8e62c539f57b25d7662a2cd5ff `Use
    __ehdr_start, if available, as fallback for AT_PHDR.`.

  * `Add HOSTING_SCRT0 for PIE test`, 49cc20aa5c416ea4307931cccf6353247368187d
    -- is for GNU/Linux only; but also seems unused.

  * 82763a3d329b0d342d0273941b1521be9ef0c604 »MODIFIED is unknown, pass it as
    true.«

  * Configure so that Debian system's `/usr/lib/debug/[...]` will be loaded
    automatically.

      * [[!message-id "m3ei24vh4l.fsf@fleche.redhat.com"]]

  * [low] c26e9cbb0ce70e8fca32a40c434a0837bf46750a,
    `gdb/gnu-nat.c:set_exceptions_cmd`, `Make this take effect immediately in a
    running process`.

  * [low] b27caf75c311991772b316fe7c0eecfd5788eeaf, ld, `Add HOSTING_SLIBS and
    use it for -pie`.  For us, too?


# Build

Here's a log of a binutils-gdb build run; this is from Git commit
c2853f3d99797a321c37948297441ca6021f719a (2014-02-14) plus
[[!message-id "87vbxxhww4.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net"]],
[[!message-id "8738kyi30l.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net"]],
[[!message-id "8761ofv62k.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net"]],
[[!message-id "1391759958-972-2-git-send-email-yao@codesourcery.com"]],
[[!message-id "1391759958-972-3-git-send-email-yao@codesourcery.com"]], run on
kepler.SCHWINGE and coulomb.SCHWINGE.

    $ export LC_ALL=C
    $ ../W._C._Handy/configure --prefix="$PWD".install --enable-gold --with-sysroot=/ SHELL=/bin/dash CC=gcc-4.8 CXX=g++-4.8 --disable-werror 2>&1 | tee log_build
    [...]
    $ make 2>&1 | tee log_build_
    [...]

Different hosts may default to different shells and compiler versions; thus
harmonized.  Debian GCC (which is used in binutils' testsuite) likes to pass
`--sysroot=/` to `ld`, so we need to configure binutils with support for
sysroots.  In the GDB build, there are several occurences of *error:
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules* in the
MIG-generated stub files; thus no `-Werror` until that is resolved
([[service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/strict_aliasing]]).

This takes up around 1.3 GiB, and needs roughly 17 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and
79 min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

## Analysis

x86 GNU/Linux' and GNU/Hurd's configurations are slightly different, thus mask
out most of the differences that are due to GNU/Linux supporting more core file
formats, and more emulation vectors.

    $ toolchain/logs/process binutils-gdb build

  * For GDB, why do we specify `-D_GNU_SOURCE`, and GNU/Linux doesn't?

  * GNU/Linux: `gdb/symfile-mem.c` for [[service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/Vdso]].

  * GNU/Linux: `gdb/i386-nat.c` for hardware breakpoints, etc. -- we should
    probably use that, too.  Related to Samuel's Hurd GDB patch?

# Install

    $ make install 2>&1 | tee log_install
    [...]

This takes up around 200 MiB, and needs roughly 2 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 6
min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.


## Analysis

    $ toolchain/logs/process binutils-gdb install

  * `libtool: finish`: `ldconfig` is not run for the Hurd.


# Testsuite

    $ make -k check 2>&1 | tee log_test
    [...]

This needs roughly 20 min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 140 min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

When running `make -k check 2>&1 | tee log_test`, at the end of the testsuite
the `tee` process does not terminate if there are still stray leftover
processes that [have their stdout/stderr
open](http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-10/msg00489.html).  `kill`ing
these (`SIGKILL` may be needed), makes the `tee` process terminate, too.  On
GNU/Hurd, these generally are `gdb.multi/watchpoint-multi`, and an unknown
(`?`) GDB one ("57 PIDs before" `expect [...] gdb.cp`).


## Analysis

GDB's testsuite uses the system's default `gcc` (and similar) compilers, not
those specified on the `configure` line ([[!taglink open_issue_gdb]]?), see
`find_gcc` (and similar) usage in the testsuite and DejaGnu.  Maybe something
like `gdb/testsuite/boards/cc-with-tweaks.exp` would help, or setting
`CC_FOR_TARGET` (and similar) per `gdb/testsuite/lib/future.exp`?

    $ toolchain/logs/process binutils-gdb test

  * <a name="static"><!-- stable_URL -->`FAIL: static [...]`</a>

    The testsuite isn't prepared for using `crt0.o` instead of `crt1.o`
    depending on whether a static or dynamic executable is created.  Documented
    in `ld/configure.host`.  Perhaps we should finally rewrite this messy code
    in glibc?  Or, something similar to commit
    49cc20aa5c416ea4307931cccf6353247368187d `Add HOSTING_SCRT0 for PIE test`
    or commit b27caf75c311991772b316fe7c0eecfd5788eeaf `Add HOSTING_SLIBS and
    use it for -pie`
    can be used.

    Same issue for `FAIL: Common symbol override ifunc *` ones?

  * <a name="64ksec">`FAIL: ld-elf/64ksec`</a>

    On the idle grubber, this one takes a few minutes wall time to complete
    successfully ([[I/O system
    weakness|service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/performance/io_system/binutils_ld_64ksec]]), so assuming some
    system load variation, the testsuite's timeout may trigger.

  * `FAIL: gas/i386/rept` (intermittently)

    Added in commit 06f1247c54126b9f1e6acb8ff8c7be35aec6f44c (2012-06-07) as

    These are all tests where GDB examines itself; being linked against libgc
    (new dependency due to new Guile scripting support; all Guile scripting
    tests PASS).  So, probably some bad interaction between GDB and a debuggee
    that is using libgc; maybe libgc is using SIGSEGV for internal signalling
    purposes; see the `HEURISTIC2` discussion on [[service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/boehm_gc]].

## GDB `info files` SIGSEGV

[[!tag open_issue_gdb]]


### IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-07

    <rekado> I'm trying to debug pfinet, but I'm not very familiar with gdb.
      Tried to attach to the running pfinet process (built with debug symbols),
      set a breakpoint and ... when I ran "info files" the process segfaulted.
    <teythoon> which process segfaults, pfinet or gdb?
    <rekado> gdb segfaults.

    <tschwinge> gnu_srs: Don't know about GDB's watch command.  Are you sure it
      is hanging?
