git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14924
At various places, there were either some assumption that the 'end'
boundary (highest address) was either not included, included,
or was the highest addressable word, or the highest addressable byte.
This e.g. was very visible when doing:
./vg-in-place -d -d ./helgrind/tests/tc01_simple_race|&grep regi
giving
--24040:2:stacks register 0xBEDB4000-0xBEDB4FFF as stack 0
--24040:2:stacks register 0x402C000-0x4A2C000 as stack 1
showing that the main stack end was (on x86) not the highest word
but the highest byte, while for the thread 1, the registered end
was a byte not part of the stack.
The attached patch ensures that stack bounds semantic are documented and
consistent. Also, some of the stack handling code is factorised.
The convention that the patch ensures and documents is:
start is the lowest addressable byte, end is the highest addressable byte.
(the words 'min' and 'max' have been kept when already used, as this wording is
consistent with the new semantic of start/end).
In various debug log, used brackets [ and ] to make clear that
both bounds are included.
The code to guess and register the client stack was duplicated
in all the platform specific syswrap-<plat>-<os>.c files.
Code has been factorised in syswrap-generic.c
The patch has been regression tested on
x86, amd64, ppc32/64, s390x.
It has been compiled and one test run on arm64.
Not compiled/not tested on darwin, android, mips32/64, arm

coregrind/pub_core_scheduler.h
coregrind/pub_core_stacks.h
- document start/end semantic in various functions
also in pub_tool_machine.h:
- replaces unclear 'bottommost address' by 'lowest address'
(unclear as stack bottom is or at least can be interpreted as
the 'functional' bottom of the stack, which is the highest
address for 'stack growing downwards').

coregrind/m_stacks.c

added a comment to indicate why we invert start/end in register call
(note that the code find_stack_by_addr was already assuming that
end was included as the checks were doing e.g.
sp >= i->start && sp <= i->end
coregrind/pub_core_clientstate.h
coregrind/m_clientstate.c
renames Addr VG_(clstk_base) to Addr VG_(clstk_start_base)

to indicate it is the initial lowest address).

updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end
updated clstack_max_size computation according to both bounds included.
coregrind/m_initimg/initimg-linux.c
updated to VG_(clstk_start_base)
updated VG_(clstk_end) computation according to both bounds included.
replace unclear iicii.clstack_top by iicii.clstack_end

extern Addr VG_(am_startup) : clarify semantic of the returned value
coregrind/m_aspacemgr/aspacemgr-linux.c
removed a copy of a comment that was already in pub_core_aspacemgr.h
(avoid double maintenance)
renamed unclear suggested_clstack_top to suggested_clstack_end
(note that here, it looks like suggested_clstack_top was already
the last addressable byte)

Some files to look at more in details:
syswrap-darwin.c : the handling of sysctl(kern.usrstack) looked
buggy to me, and has probably be made correct by the fact that
VG_(clstk_end) is now the last addressable byte. However,unsure
about this, as I could not find any documentation about
sysctl(kern.usrstack). I only find several occurences on the web,
showing that the result of this is page aligned, which I guess
means it must be 1+ the last addressable byte.
syswrap-x86-darwin.c and syswrap-amd64-darwin.c
I suspect the code that was computing client_stack_highest_word
was wrong, and the patch makes it correct.
syswrap-mips64-linux.c
not sure what to do for this code. This is the only code
that was guessing the stack differently from others.
Kept (almost) untouched. To be discussed with mips maintainers.

Re-opening the FIFO before closing it gives (difficult to understand)
problems => rollback the change that keeps the FIFO opened.
Rather handle the race condition by retrying at vgdb side.
See extensive comments in remote-utils.c
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14147
13944 objective was to avoid having a vgdb that connects to a just forked child
that would have the FIFO still opened, while its parent would close it.
However, in case a previous vgdb closed the FIFO, the read FIFO in the parent
is put in 'eof status' by the kernel. So, readchar will then return eof
in the parent unless another vgdb re-opens the FIFO in write.
So, gdbsrv does not stop anymore on error if needed, due to this readchar
giving eof.
The only way to reset this eof condition is to close the fd.
But we must always have the FIFO open (to avoid the race condition that
rev 13944 fixed)
=> in case of error, first re-open the FIFO, before closing the (previous)
FIFO fd (which is in eof state and cannot be properly used anymore).

gdbsrv poll syscall seems to very infrequently (1 on 100000 vgdb invocations§)
to be EINTR-upted.
So, when poll syscall fails, output stacktrace + sigmask status
to capture more info about the problem.
This is a follow-up/extension of r13748, which showed poll was interrupted
but it is not clear why. In particular, all async signals are supposed
to be masked at the time vgdb has forced an invocation

Otherwise, if the valgrind process has just forked before
the vgdb connect, and the child has not yet closed the FIFO it inheritates
from its parent, and a 2nd vgdb is started before the parent has
re-opened the reading side FIFO, the 2nd vgdb can connect to the child,
which will not handle the wakeup character/connection request, and
vgdb will have a write error and/or block.

If valgrind is started with --vgdb-prefix arg, then callgrind_control
cannot find and control this valgrind.
So, add an (optional) argument to callgrind_control,

to make copy/paste and then editing the command easier,
put the --pid=3393 at the end of the instruction output by valgrind.
So, in gdb command history, one can just recuperate the previous target
command in the history and more easily change the pid.
I.e. have:
target remote | /home/philippe/valgrind/refactor_vgdb/Inst/lib/valgrind/../../bin/vgdb --vgdb-prefix=truc --pid=3393
instead of
target remote | /home/philippe/valgrind/refactor_vgdb/Inst/lib/valgrind/../../bin/vgdb --pid=3393 --vgdb-prefix=truc

GDB sometimes asks slightly too big read packets
(no taking into account the packet overhead).

On Ubuntu systems, ptrace_scoping could forbid a process to ptrace another.
This ptrace scoping was already handled for vgdb by using SET_PTRACER
(the valgrind process must be ptraced by vgdb when it is blocked
in a syscall).
set_ptracer is however also needed when the old mechanism --db-attach=yes
is used.
The following changes are done:
* make the set_ptracer logic callable outside gdbserver
* make set_ptracer less restrictive (i.e. allow all
processes of the user to ptrace). This removes a limitation for vgdb.
* call the set_ptracer in the child launched for --db-attach=yes
* cleaned up the ptrace scope restriction message and doc as vgdb
is now working properly by default, even with ptrace_scope enabled.

In a big applications, some recursive algorithms have created
hundreds of thousands of stacktraces, taking a lot of memory.
Option --merge-recursive-frames=<number> tells Valgrind to
detect and merge (collapse) recursive calls when recording stack traces.
The value is changeable using the monitor command
'v.set merge-recursive-frames'.
Also, this provides a new client request: VALGRIND_MONITOR_COMMAND
allowing to execute a gdbsrv monitor command from the client
program.

AVX support implies to have target xml files which are selected
according to the machine hwcaps.
This change improves the structure of the gdbserver software layering
to prepare for this.
Basically, the protocol files (e.g. server.c) are now calling directly
the valgrind target operations which are now defined in target.h/target.c
(before, there was a level of indirection inheritated from the GDB
structure which was useless for valgrind gdbserver).

Following a discussion about which user can debug which VAlgrind gdbserver:
The default umask will remove the "other" and "group" write bits.
Without the w bits, nothing works in any case.
Moreover, if the vgdb process does not belong to the user running the
V gdbserver, connections are also not possible.
=> remove useless/confusing bits.

the valgrind installation is moved, and VALGRIND_LIB is

Patch that fixes the problem reported by Christian Borntraeger.
