LLDB has added new GDB server packets to better support multi-threaded and
|
|
|
|
remote debugging. Why? Normally you need to start the correct GDB and the
|
|
|
|
correct GDB server when debugging. If you have mismatch, then things go wrong
|
|
|
|
very quickly. LLDB makes extensive use of the GDB remote protocol and we
|
|
|
|
wanted to make sure that the experience was a bit more dynamic where we can
|
|
|
|
discover information about a remote target with having to know anything up
|
|
|
|
front. We also ran into performance issues with the existing GDB remote
|
|
|
|
protocol that can be overcome when using a reliable communications layer.
|
|
|
|
Some packets improve performance, others allow for remote process launching
|
|
|
|
(if you have an OS), and others allow us to dynamically figure out what
|
|
|
|
registers a thread might have. Again with GDB, both sides pre-agree on how the
|
|
|
|
registers will look (how many, their register number,name and offsets). We
|
|
|
|
prefer to be able to dynamically determine what kind of architecture, os and
|
|
|
|
vendor we are debugging, as well as how things are laid out when it comes to
|
|
|
|
the thread register contexts. Below are the details on the new packets we have
|
|
|
|
added above and beyond the standard GDB remote protocol packets.

Having to send an ACK/NACK after every packet slows things down a bit, so we
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
have a way to disable ACK packets to minimize the traffic for reliable
|
2011-11-29 07:30:42 +08:00
|
|
|
communication interfaces (like sockets). Below GDB or LLDB will send this
|
|
|
|
packet to try and disable ACKs. All lines that start with "send packet: " are
|
|
|
|
from GDB/LLDB, and all lines that start with "read packet: " are from the GDB
|
|
|
|
remote server:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $QStartNoAckMode#b0

We have added support for the "set program arguments" packet where we can
|
|
|
|
startup a connection to a remote server and then later supply the path to the
|
|
|
|
executable and the arguments to use when executing:

|
2011-11-29 07:30:42 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where A is followed by the length in bytes of the hex encoded argument,
|
|
|
|
followed by an argument integer, and followed by the ASCII characters
|
|
|
|
converted into hex bytes foreach arg
|

The above packet helps when you have remote debugging abilities where you
|
|
|
|
could launch a process on a remote host, this isn't needed for bare board
|
|
|
|
debugging.

Both GDB and LLDB support passing down environment variables. Is it ok to
|
|
|
|
respond with a "$#00" (unimplemented):
|

|
|
|
|
read packet: $OK#00

This packet can be sent one or more times _prior_ to sending a "A" packet.

When launching a program through the GDB remote protocol with the "A" packet,
|
|
|
|
you might also want to specify where stdin/out/err go:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QSetSTDIN:<ascii-hex-path>
|
|
|
|
QSetSTDOUT:<ascii-hex-path>

QSetSTDERR:<ascii-hex-path>

With LLDB, for register information, remote GDB servers can add
|
|
|
|
support for the "qRegisterInfoN" packet where "N" is a zero based
|
|
|
|
base16 register number that must start at zero and increase by one
|
|
|
|
for each register that is supported. The response is done in typical
|
|
|
|
GDB remote fashion where a serious of "KEY:VALUE;" pairs are returned.
|
|
|

As we see above we keep making subsequent calls to the remote server to
|
|
|
|
discover all registers by increasing the number appended to qRegisterInfo and
|
2013-10-01 13:08:22 +08:00
|
|
|
we get a response back that is a series of "key=value;" strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The register offsets may end up describing a register context with gaps. The
|
|
|
|
actual register context structure used may have gaps due to alignment issues.
|
|
|
|
Implementations of the g/G packet construction/parsing must handle this padding
|
|
|
|
if it exists.

2013-10-01 13:08:22 +08:00
|
|
|
this register. This is the byte offset once the data has been

gcc The GCC compiler registers number for this register (used for
|
|
|
|
EH frame and other compiler information that is encoded in the
|
2013-03-12 08:14:38 +08:00
|
|
|
executable files). The supplied number will be decoded like a
|
|
|
|
string passed to strtoul() with a base of zero, so the number
|
|
|
|
can be decimal, or hex if it is prefixed with "0x".
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If the compiler doesn't have a register number for this
|
|
|
|
register, this key/value pair should be omitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dwarf The DWARF register number for this register that is used for this
|
2013-03-12 08:14:38 +08:00
|
|
|
register in the debug information. The supplied number will be decoded
|
|
|
|
like a string passed to strtoul() with a base of zero, so the number
|
|
|
|
can be decimal, or hex if it is prefixed with "0x".
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If the compiler doesn't have a register number for this
|
|
|
|
register, this key/value pair should be omitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
generic If the register is a generic register that most CPUs have, classify
|
|
|
|
it correctly so the debugger knows. Valid values are one of:
|
|
|
|
pc (a program counter register. for example "name=eip;" (i386),
|
|
|
|
"name=rip;" (x86_64), "name=r15;" (32 bit arm) would
|
|
|
|
include a "generic=pc;" key value pair)
|
|
|
|
sp (a stack pointer register. for example "name=esp;" (i386),
|
|
|
|
"name=rsp;" (x86_64), "name=r13;" (32 bit arm) would
|
|
|
|
include a "generic=sp;" key value pair)
|
|
|
|
fp (a frame pointer register. for example "name=ebp;" (i386),
|
|
|
|
"name=rbp;" (x86_64), "name=r7;" (32 bit arm with macosx
|
|
|
|
ABI) would include a "generic=fp;" key value pair)
|
|
|
|
ra (a return address register. for example "name=lr;" (32 bit ARM)
|
|
|
|
would include a "generic=ra;" key value pair)
|
|
|
|
fp (a CPU flags register. for example "name=eflags;" (i386),
|
|
|
|
"name=rflags;" (x86_64), "name=cpsr;" (32 bit ARM)
|
|
|
|
would include a "generic=flags;" key value pair)
|
|
|
|
arg1 - arg8 (specified for registers that contain function
|
|
|
|
arguments when the argument fits into a register)
|
2011-11-29 07:30:42 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2013-01-22 07:18:28 +08:00
|
|
|
container-regs
|
2013-03-12 08:14:38 +08:00
|
|
|
The value for this key is a comma separated list of raw hex (optional
|
2013-01-23 12:38:32 +08:00
|
|
|
leading "0x") register numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This specifies that this register is contained in other concrete
|
|
|
|
register values. For example "eax" is in the lower 32 bits of the
|
|
|
|
"rax" register value for x86_64, so "eax" could specify that it is
|
|
|
|
contained in "rax" by specifying the register number for "rax" (whose
|
|
|
|
register number is 0x00)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"container-regs:00;"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a register is comprised of one or more registers, like "d0" is ARM
|
|
|
|
which is a 64 bit register, it might be made up of "s0" and "s1". If
|
|
|
|
the register number for "s0" is 0x20, and the register number of "s1"
|
|
|
|
is "0x21", the "container-regs" key/value pair would be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"container-regs:20,21;"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is handy for defining what GDB used to call "pseudo" registers.
|
|
|
|
These registers are never requested by LLDB via the register read
|
|
|
|
or write packets, the container registers will be requested on behalf
|
|
|
|
of this register.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-22 07:18:28 +08:00
|
|
|
invalidate-regs
|
2013-03-12 08:14:38 +08:00
|
|
|
The value for this key is a comma separated list of raw hex (optional
|
2013-01-23 12:38:32 +08:00
|
|
|
leading "0x") register numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This specifies which register values should be invalidated when this
|
|
|
|
register is modified. For example if modifying "eax" would cause "rax",
|
|
|
|
"eax", "ax", "ah", and "al" to be modified where rax is 0x0, eax is 0x15,
|
|
|
|
ax is 0x25, ah is 0x35, and al is 0x39, the "invalidate-regs" key/value
|
|
|
|
pair would be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"invalidate-regs:0,15,25,35,39;"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there is a single register that gets invalidated, then omit the comma
|
|
|
|
and just list a single register:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"invalidate-regs:0;"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is handy when modifying a specific register can cause other
|
|
|
|
register values to change. For example, when debugging an ARM target,
|
|
|
|
modifying the CPSR register can cause the r8 - r14 and cpsr value to
|
|
|
|
change depending on if the mode has changed.

The goal of this packet is to provide enough information about an
|
|
|
|
implementation of the gdb-remote-protocol server that lldb can
|
|
|
|
work around implementation problems that are discovered after the
|
|
|
|
version has been released/deployed. The name and version number
|
|
|
|
should be sufficiently unique that lldb can unambiguously identify
|
|
|
|
the origin of the program (for instance, debugserver from lldb) and
|
|
|
|
the version/submission number/patch level of the program - whatever
|
|
|
|
is appropriate for your server implementation.
|
|

The packet follows the key-value pair model, semicolon separated.

better describe your implementation's version.

LLDB and GDB both support the "qShlibInfoAddr" packet which is a hint to each

debugger as to where to find the dynamic loader information. For darwin

binaries that run in user land this is the address of the "all_image_infos"

|
2011-11-29 07:30:42 +08:00

LLDB tries to use the "qThreadStopInfo" packet which is formatted as
|
|
|
|
"qThreadStopInfo%x" where %x is the hex thread ID. This requests information
|
|
|
|
about why a thread is stopped. The response is the same as the stop reply
|
|
|
|
packets and tells us what happened to the other threads. The standard GDB
|
|
|
|
remote packets love to think that there is only _one_ reason that _one_ thread
|
|
|
|
stops at a time. This allows us to see why all threads stopped and allows us
|
|
|
|
to implement better multi-threaded debugging support.

When reading thread registers, you currently need to set the current
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
thread, then read the registers. This is kind of cumbersome, so we added the
|
2011-11-29 07:30:42 +08:00
|
|
|
ability to query if the remote GDB server supports adding a "thread:<tid>;"
|
|
|
|
suffix to all packets that request information for a thread. To test if the
|
|
|
|
remote GDB server supports this feature:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $QThreadSuffixSupported#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: OK
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If "OK" is returned, then the 'g', 'G', 'p' and 'P' packets can accept a
|
|
|
|
thread suffix. So to send a 'g' packet (read all register values):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $g;thread:<tid>;#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $G;thread:<tid>;#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $p1a;thread:<tid>;#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $P1a=1234abcd;thread:<tid>;#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise, without this you would need to always send two packets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
send packet: $Hg<tid>#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: ....
|
|
|
|
send packet: $g#00
|
|
|
|
read packet: ....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

We also added support for allocating and deallocating memory. We use this to
|
|
|
|
allocate memory so we can run JITed code.

The allocate memory packet starts with "_M<size>,<permissions>". It returns a
|
|
|
|
raw big endian address value, or "" for unimplemented, or "EXX" for an error
|
|
|
|
code. The packet is formatted as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
char packet[256];
|
|
|
|
int packet_len;
|
|

You request a size and give the permissions. This packet does NOT need to be
|
|
|
|
implemented if you don't want to support running JITed code. The return value
|
|
|
|
is just the address of the newly allocated memory as raw big endian hex bytes.

The deallocate memory packet is "_m<addr>" where you pass in the address you

not supported.

We added a way to get information for a memory region. The packet is:
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
qMemoryRegionInfo:<addr>
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-29 07:30:42 +08:00
|
|
|
Where <addr> is a big endian hex address. The response is returned in a series
|
|
|
|
of tuples like the data returned in a stop reply packet. The currently valid
|
|
|
|
tuples tp return are:
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
start:<start-addr>; // <start-addr> is a big endian hex address that is
|
|
|
|
// the start address of the range that contains <addr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
size:<size>; // <size> is a big endian hex byte size of the address
|
|
|
|
// of the range that contains <addr>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
permissions:<permissions>; // <permissions> is a string that contains one
|
|
|
|
// or more of the characters from "rwx"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
error:<ascii-byte-error-string>; // where <ascii-byte-error-string> is
|
|
|
|
// a hex encoded string value that
|
|
|
|
// contains an error string
|
|
|
|
|
2011-12-13 13:39:38 +08:00
|
|
|
If the address requested is not in a mapped region (e.g. we've jumped through
|
|
|
|
a NULL pointer and are at 0x0) currently lldb expects to get back the size
|
|
|
|
of the unmapped region -- that is, the distance to the next valid region.
|
|
|
|
For instance, with a Mac OS X process which has nothing mapped in the first
|
|
|
|
4GB of its address space, if we're asking about address 0x2,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qMemoryRegionInfo:2
|
|
|
|
start:2;size:fffffffe;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lack of 'permissions:' indicates that none of read/write/execute are valid
|
|
|
|
for this region.

// DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
// Standard GDB remote stop reply packets are reply packets sent in
|
|
|
|
// response to a packet that made the program run. They come in the
|
|
|
|
// following forms:
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "SAA"
|
|
|
|
// "S" means signal and "AA" is a hex signal number that describes why
|
|
|
|
// the thread or stopped. It doesn't specify which thread, so the "T"
|
|
|
|
// packet is recommended to use instead of the "S" packet.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "TAAkey1:value1;key2:value2;..."
|
|
|
|
// "T" means a thread stopped due to a unix signal where "AA" is a hex
|
|
|
|
// signal number that describes why the program stopped. This is
|
|
|
|
// followed by a series of key/value pairs:
|
|
|
|
// - If key is a hex number, it is a register number and value is
|
|
|
|
// the hex value of the register in debuggee endian byte order.
|
|
|
|
// - If key == "thread", then the value is the big endian hex
|
|
|
|
// thread-id of the stopped thread.
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
// - If key == "core", then value is a hex number of the core on
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
// which the stop was detected.
|
|
|
|
// - If key == "watch" or key == "rwatch" or key == "awatch", then
|
|
|
|
// value is the data address in big endian hex
|
|
|
|
// - If key == "library", then value is ignore and "qXfer:libraries:read"
|
|
|
|
// packets should be used to detect any newly loaded shared libraries
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "WAA"
|
|
|
|
// "W" means the process exited and "AA" is the exit status.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "XAA"
|
|
|
|
// "X" means the process exited and "AA" is signal that caused the program
|
|
|
|
// to exit.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "O<ascii-hex-string>"
|
|
|
|
// "O" means STDOUT has data that was written to its console and is
|
|
|
|
// being delivered to the debugger. This packet happens asynchronously
|
|
|
|
// and the debugger is expected to continue to way for another stop reply
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
// KEY VALUE DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
// =========== ======== ================================================
|
|
|
|
// "metype" unsigned mach exception type (the value of the EXC_XXX enumerations)
|
|
|
|
// as an unsigned integer. For targets with mach
|
|
|
|
// kernels only.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "mecount" unsigned mach exception data count as an unsigned integer
|
|
|
|
// For targets with mach kernels only.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "medata" unsigned There should be "mecount" of these and it is the data
|
|
|
|
// that goes along with a mach exception (as an unsigned
|
|
|
|
// integer). For targets with mach kernels only.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "name" string The name of the thread as a plain string. The string
|
|
|
|
// must not contain an special packet characters or
|
|
|
|
// contain a ':' or a ';'. Use "hexname" if the thread
|
|
|
|
// name has special characters.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "hexname" ascii-hex An ASCII hex string that contains the name of the thread
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "qaddr" hex Big endian hex value that contains the libdispatch
|
|
|
|
// queue address for the queue of the thread.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// "reason" enum The enumeration must be one of:
|
|
|
|
// "trace" the program stopped after a single instruction
|
|
|
|
// was executed on a core. Usually done when single
|
|
|
|
// stepping past a breakpoint
|
|
|
|
// "breakpoint" a breakpoint set using a 'z' packet was hit.
|
|
|
|
// "trap" stopped due to user interruption
|
|
|
|
// "signal" stopped due to an actual unix signal, not
|
|
|
|
// just the debugger using a unix signal to keep
|
|
|
|
// the GDB remote client happy.
|
|
|
|
// "watchpoint". Should be used in conjunction with
|
|
|
|
// the "watch"/"rwatch"/"awatch" key value pairs.
|
|
|
|
// "exception" an exception stop reason. Use with
|
|
|
|
// the "description" key/value pair to describe the
|
|
|
|
// exceptional event the user should see as the stop
|
|
|
|
// reason.
|
|
|
|
// "description" ascii-hex An ASCII hex string that contains a more descriptive
|
|
|
|
// reason that the thread stopped. This is only needed
|
|
|
|
// if none of the key/value pairs are enough to
|
|
|
|
// describe why something stopped.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// BEST PRACTICES:
|
|
|
|
// Since register values can be supplied with this packet, it is often useful
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
// to return the PC, SP, FP, LR (if any), and FLAGS registers so that separate
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
// packets don't need to be sent to read each of these registers from each
|
|
|
|
// thread.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// If a thread is stopped for no reason (like just because another thread
|
|
|
|
// stopped, or because when one core stops all cores should stop), use a
|
|
|
|
// "T" packet with "00" as the signal number and fill in as many key values
|
|
|
|
// and registers as possible.
|
|
|
|
//
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
// LLDB likes to know why a thread stopped since many thread control
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
// operations like stepping over a source line, actually are implemented
|
|
|
|
// by running the process multiple times. If a breakpoint is hit while
|
|
|
|
// trying to step over a source line and LLDB finds out that a breakpoint
|
|
|
|
// is hit in the "reason", we will know to stop trying to do the step
|
|
|
|
// over because something happened that should stop us from trying to
|
|
|
|
// do the step. If we are at a breakpoint and we disable the breakpoint
|
|
|
|
// at the current PC and do an instruction single step, knowing that
|
|
|
|
// we stopped due to a "trace" helps us know that we can continue
|
|
|
|
// running versus stopping due to a "breakpoint" (if we have two
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
// breakpoint instruction on consecutive instructions). So the more info
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
// we can get about the reason a thread stops, the better job LLDB can
|
|
|
|
// do when controlling your process. A typical GDB server behavior is
|
|
|
|
// to send a SIGTRAP for breakpoints _and_ also when instruction single
|
|
|
|
// stepping, in this case the debugger doesn't really know why we
|
|
|
|
// stopped and it can make it hard for the debugger to control your
|
|
|
|
// program correctly. What if a real SIGTRAP was delivered to a thread
|
2013-02-13 04:01:49 +08:00
|
|
|
// while we were trying to single step? We wouldn't know the difference
|
2011-11-29 09:44:07 +08:00
|
|
|
// with a standard GDB remote server and we could do the wrong thing.
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
|
|
// PRIORITY TO IMPLEMENT
|
|
|
|
// High. Having the extra information in your stop reply packets makes
|
|
|
|
// your debug session more reliable and informative.
