Hello Alan, Simon and Tom.
Thank you very much for reviewing my first patch to GDB and providing me your feedback.
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-07/msg00392.html
I have incorporating all your review comments and sending a new patch here.
Hello,
GDB is not able to execute "step" command on function calls of Armv8-M cmse secure entry functions.
Everytime GNU linker come across definition of any cmse secure entry function in object file(s),
it creates two new instructions secure gateway (sg) and original branch destination (b.w),
place those two instructions in ".gnu.sgstubs" section of executable.
Any function calls to these cmse secure entry functions is re-directed through secure gateway (sg)
present in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
Example:
Following is a function call to cmse secure entry function "foo":
...
bl xxxx <foo> --->(a)
...
<foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr}
GNU linker on finding out "foo" is a cmse secure entry function, created sg and b.w instructions and
place them in ".gnu.sgstubs" section (marked by c).
The "bl" instruction (marked by a) which is a call to cmse secure entry function is modified by GNU linker
(as marked by b) and call flow is re-directly through secure gateway (sg) in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
...
bl yyyy <foo> ---> (b)
...
section .gnu.sgstubs: ---> (c)
yyyy <foo>
yyyy: sg // secure gateway
b.w xxxx <__acle_se_foo> // original_branch_dest
...
0000xxxx <__acle_se_foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr} ---> (d)
On invoking GDB, when the control is at "b" and we pass "step" command, the pc returns "yyyy"
(sg address) which is a trampoline and which does not exist in source code. So GDB jumps
to next line without jumping to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
The above details are published on the Arm website [1], please refer to section 5.4 (Entry functions)
and section 3.4.4 (C level development flow of secure code).
[1] https://developer.arm.com/architectures/cpu-architecture/m-profile/docs/ecm0359818/latest/armv8-m-security-extensions-requirements-on-development-tools-engineering-specification
This patch fixes above problem by returning target pc "xxxx" to GDB on executing "step"
command at "b", so that the control jumps to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
This patch is tested by debugging the CMSE executable using GDB on Aarch32 box.
Regression tested for armv7hl-redhat-linux-gnueabi and found no regressions.
Ok for master? If ok, could someone commit this on my behalf,
I don't have the commit rights.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-07-19 Srinath Parvathaneni <srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>
* gdb/arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_cmse_entry):New function. When gdb
encounters a "step" command on cmse secure entry function (eg:func),
this function return an address of "__acle_se_<func>" to PC instead
of secure gateaway (sg) address which is present in ".gnu.sgstubs"
section.
(arm_is_sgstubs_section):New function. To check the current section is
".gnu.sgstubs".
(arm_skip_stub):Add call to arm_skip_cmse_entry function.
* gdb/arm-tdep.h (arm_is_sgstubs_section):New function declaration.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2019-07-19 Srinath Parvathaneni <srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>
* gdb.arch/arm-cmse-sgstubs.c: New test.
* gdb.arch/arm-cmse-sgstubs.exp: New file.
