GDBserver: Fix "Cond. jump or move depends on uninit value" in x87 code
Running gdbserver under Valgrind I get: ==26925== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==26925== at 0x473E7F: i387_cache_to_xsave(regcache*, void*) (i387-fp.c:579) ==26925== by 0x46E3ED: x86_fill_xstateregset(regcache*, void*) (linux-x86-low.c:418) ==26925== by 0x45E747: regsets_store_inferior_registers(regsets_info*, regcache*) (linux-low.c:5456) ==26925== by 0x45EEF8: linux_store_registers(regcache*, int) (linux-low.c:5731) ==26925== by 0x426441: regcache_invalidate_thread(thread_info*) (regcache.c:89) ==26925== by 0x45CCAF: linux_resume_one_lwp_throw(lwp_info*, int, int, siginfo_t*) (linux-low.c:4447) ==26925== by 0x45CE2A: linux_resume_one_lwp(lwp_info*, int, int, siginfo_t*) (linux-low.c:4519) ==26925== by 0x45E17C: proceed_one_lwp(thread_info*, lwp_info*) (linux-low.c:5216) ==26925== by 0x45DC81: linux_resume_one_thread(thread_info*, bool) (linux-low.c:5031) ==26925== by 0x45DD34: linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long)::{lambda(thread_info*)#2}::operator()(thread_info*) const (linux-low.c:5095) ==26925== by 0x462907: void for_each_thread<linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long)::{lambda(thread_info*)#2}>(linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long)::{lambda(thread_info*)#2}) (gdbthread.h:150) ==26925== by 0x45DE62: linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long) (linux-low.c:5093) ==26925== ==26925== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==26925== at 0x473EBD: i387_cache_to_xsave(regcache*, void*) (i387-fp.c:586) ==26925== by 0x46E3ED: x86_fill_xstateregset(regcache*, void*) (linux-x86-low.c:418) ==26925== by 0x45E747: regsets_store_inferior_registers(regsets_info*, regcache*) (linux-low.c:5456) ==26925== by 0x45EEF8: linux_store_registers(regcache*, int) (linux-low.c:5731) ==26925== by 0x426441: regcache_invalidate_thread(thread_info*) (regcache.c:89) ==26925== by 0x45CCAF: linux_resume_one_lwp_throw(lwp_info*, int, int, siginfo_t*) (linux-low.c:4447) ==26925== by 0x45CE2A: linux_resume_one_lwp(lwp_info*, int, int, siginfo_t*) (linux-low.c:4519) ==26925== by 0x45E17C: proceed_one_lwp(thread_info*, lwp_info*) (linux-low.c:5216) ==26925== by 0x45DC81: linux_resume_one_thread(thread_info*, bool) (linux-low.c:5031) ==26925== by 0x45DD34: linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long)::{lambda(thread_info*)#2}::operator()(thread_info*) const (linux-low.c:5095) ==26925== by 0x462907: void for_each_thread<linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long)::{lambda(thread_info*)#2}>(linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long)::{lambda(thread_info*)#2}) (gdbthread.h:150) ==26925== by 0x45DE62: linux_resume(thread_resume*, unsigned long) (linux-low.c:5093) The problem is a type/width mismatch in code like this, in gdbserver/i387-fp.c: /* Some registers are 16-bit. */ collect_register_by_name (regcache, "fctrl", &val); fp->fctrl = val; In the above code: #1 - 'val' is a 64-bit unsigned long. #2 - "fctrl" is 32-bit in the register cache, thus half of 'val' is left uninitialized by collect_register_by_name, which works with an untyped raw buffer output (i.e., void*). #3 - fp->fctrl is an unsigned short (16-bit). For some such registers we're masking off the uninitialized bits with 0xffff, but not in all cases. We end up in such a fragile situation because collect_registers_by_name works with an untyped output buffer pointer, making it easy to pass a pointer to a variable of the wrong size. Fix this by using regcache_raw_get_unsigned instead (actually a new regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name wrapper), which always returns a zero-extended ULONGEST register value. It ends up simplifying the i387-tdep.c code a bit, even. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2018-07-11 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> * i387-fp.c (i387_cache_to_fsave, cache_to_fxsave) (i387_cache_to_xsave): Use regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name instead of collect_register_by_name. * regcache.c (regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name): New. * regcache.h (regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name): New.
