From: Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> GDBserver steps over breakpoint if the condition is false, but if target doesn't support hardware single step, the step over is very simple, if not incorrect, in linux-arm-low.c: /* We only place breakpoints in empty marker functions, and thread locking is outside of the function. So rather than importing software single-step, we can just run until exit. */ static CORE_ADDR arm_reinsert_addr (void) { struct regcache *regcache = get_thread_regcache (current_thread, 1); unsigned long pc; collect_register_by_name (regcache, "lr", &pc); return pc; } and linux-mips-low.c does the same. GDBserver sets a breakpoint at the return address of the current function, resume and wait the program hits the breakpoint in order to achieve "breakpoint step over". What if program hits other user breakponits during this "step over"? It is worse if the arm/thumb interworking is considered. Nowadays, GDBserver arm backend unconditionally inserts arm breakpoint, /* Define an ARM-mode breakpoint; we only set breakpoints in the C library, which is most likely to be ARM. If the kernel supports clone events, we will never insert a breakpoint, so even a Thumb C library will work; so will mixing EABI/non-EABI gdbserver and application. */ #ifndef __ARM_EABI__ (const unsigned char *) &arm_breakpoint, #else (const unsigned char *) &arm_eabi_breakpoint, #endif note that the comments are no longer valid as C library can be compiled in thumb mode. When GDBserver steps over a breakpoint in arm mode function, which returns to thumb mode, GDBserver will insert arm mode breakpoint by mistake and the program will crash. GDBserver alone is unable to determine the arm/thumb mode given a PC address. See how GDB does it in arm-tdep.c:arm_pc_is_thumb. After thinking about how to teach GDBserver inserting right breakpoint (arm or thumb) for a while, I reconsider it from a different direction that it may be unreasonable to run target-side conditional breakpoint for targets without hardware single step. Pedro also pointed this out here https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg00337.html This patch is to add a new target_ops hook supports_conditional_breakpoints, and only reply ";ConditionalBreakpoints+" if it is true. On linux targets, supports_conditional_breakpoints returns true if target has hardware single step, on other targets, (win32, lynx, nto, spu), set it to NULL, because conditional breakpoint is a linux-specific feature. Regression tested on x86_64-linux, rebuild mingw32 gdbserver. Don't to rebuild gdbserver for lynx, nto and spu. gdb/gdbserver: 2015-04-30 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * linux-low.c (linux_supports_conditional_breakpoints): New function. (linux_target_ops): Install new target method. * lynx-low.c (lynx_target_ops): Install NULL hook for supports_conditional_breakpoints. * nto-low.c (nto_target_ops): Likewise. * spu-low.c (spu_target_ops): Likewise. * win32-low.c (win32_target_ops): Likewise. * server.c (handle_query): Check target_supports_conditional_breakpoints. * target.h (struct target_ops) <supports_conditional_breakpoints>: New field.
