data cache is unicode. while we use bytes in RegEx expect. The index of
matched pattern is calculated with bytes, could be different from
unicode. Now we fix this issue by using unicode in expect.
Fixes an issure where the first part of an object file name is not
included, due to matching the rule for a section entry previously.
Reduce depedency on matching literal strings in sections which might
change depending on toolchain (ex. matching 'elf32-xtensa-le')
Make sure parsing rule succeeds for the entirety of the sections info
string by adding 'parseAll=True'.
Add test for sections info parsing.
This commit fixes an issue with gdbstub, where it would list threads
with TIDs 1 to N in qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo responses, and then
would tell GDB that the current TID is 0 in the qC response. This
caused an assertion failure in GDB, because it couldn't find the
thread structure corresponding to TID 0:
src/gdb/gdb/thread.c:93: internal-error: thread_info* inferior_thread(): Assertion `tp' failed.
The issue was caused by the logic of qfThreadInfo/qsThreadInfo.
If the "paniced" task index was 1, the code would report it in the
response to qfThreadInfo, and then mistakenly skip task with index 0
in qsThreadInfo, due to the use of pre-increment instead of a
post-increment.
With that issue fixed, GDB assertion doesn't happen anymore. However
the code contained a deeper problem, which manifested itself in the
fact that GDB would incorrectly show task index 0 as the current task,
after the above fix.
Previous version of the code assumed that when GDB requests the thread
list, it uses the first thread returned by the target as the "default"
thread, and subsequently shows the user that the program is stopped
in that thread. This assumption was incorrect. In fact, after
connecting to a remote target, GDB obtains information about the
"default" or "current" thread from two sources:
1. the 'thread' special register indicated in the status response
($T00thread;00000001#ee)
2. if the target has only sent the plain stop response ($T00#ee), GDB
would ask for the current thread using a qC packet.
With that in mind, it is not necessary to report the paniced task as
the first task in qfThreadInfo response. We can simply returns the
tasks in their natural order, and then indicate the current task in
the qS packet response.
However even that change does not fully resolve the issues with task
list. The previous version of this code also incorrectly interpreted
the meaning of GDB TIDs -1 and 0. When GDB sends an "Hg0" command
early in the connection process, it doesn't expect the server to set
task 0 as the current task, as the code assumed. Rather, it tells the
server to "set any (arbitrary) task as the current one", and the most
logical thing to do for the server that is already in "stopped" state
is to keep the current task selection.
Since TID 0 has a special meaning in GDB remote protocol, gdbstub code
is now modified to map task indices (which start from 0) to GDB TIDs.
GDB TIDs are arbitrary, and for simplicity we keep the same order and
start counting them from 1.
The summary of all the above changes is:
1. Use "task index + 1" as the TID reported to GDB
2. Report the tasks in natural order; don't complicate the code to
make the paniced task first in the list.
3. Centralize modification of 'current_task_index' and 'regfile'
in the new 'set_active_task' function, to improve encapsulation.
The previous location was the return from the first ets_printf call
that prints ROM sign-on message. Since the main function was patched
in ECO3, the new address no longer works — there is no instruction at
0x40007901 in ECO3 ROM. This could be solved by setting two
breakpoints (one would work for ECO <=2, the other for ECO3), but we
would need to remove the unused breakpoint later.
Fix this by setting the breakpoint at ets_printf. This means that when
debugging a loadable ELF the ROM sign-on message will no longer be
shown, but this doesn't seem to be an issue.
At -O2 optimization level, GCC seems to optimize out the copying of the
first byte of the checksum, assuming it is zero. This "miscompilation"
happens because the esp_app_desc struct is declared const, but then modified
post-compilation. Casting to volatile disables the optimization.
