Subject: gdb-rhbz2042664-fix-sect_index_data-internal-error
;; Backport fix which fixes internal error due to libcc_s lacking a
;; .data section.
Fix GDB internal error by using text (instead of data) section offset
Fedora Rawhide is now using gcc-12.0. As part of updating to the
gcc-12.0 package set, Rawhide is also now using a version of libgcc_s
which lacks a .data section. This causes gdb to fail in the following
fashion while debugging a program (such as gdb) which uses libgcc_s:
(top-gdb) run
Starting program: rawhide-master/bld/gdb/gdb

objfiles.h:467: internal-error: sect_index_data not initialized
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
...
I snipped the backtrace from the above output. Instead, here's a
portion of a backtrace obtained using GDB's backtrace command.
(Obviously, in order to obtain it, I used a GDB which has been patched
with this commit.)

The function 'relocate_address' in gdb/stap-probe.c attempts to do
its "relocation" by using objfile->data_section_offset(). That
method, data_section_offset() is defined as follows in objfiles.h:
CORE_ADDR data_section_offset () const
{
return section_offsets[SECT_OFF_DATA (this)];
}
The internal error occurs when the SECT_OFF_DATA macro finds that the
'sect_index_data' field is -1:
#define SECT_OFF_DATA(objfile) \
((objfile->sect_index_data == -1) \
? (internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, \
_("sect_index_data not initialized")), -1) \
: objfile->sect_index_data)
relocate_address() is obtaining the section offset in order to compute
a relocated address. For some ABIs, such as the System V ABI, the
section offsets will all be the same. So for those ABIs, it doesn't
matter which offset is used. However, other ABIs, such as the FDPIC
ABI, will have different offsets for the various sections. Thus, for
those ABIs, it is vital that this and other relocation code use the
correct offset.
In stap_probe::get_relocated_address, the address to which to add the
offset (thus forming the relocated address) is obtained via
this->get_address (); get_address is a getter for m_address in
probe.h. It's documented/defined as follows (also in probe.h):
/* The address where the probe is inserted, relative to
SECT_OFF_TEXT. */
CORE_ADDR m_address;
(Thanks to Tom Tromey for this observation.)
So, based on this, the current use of data_section_offset /
SECT_OFF_DATA is wrong. This relocation code should have been using
text_section_offset / SECT_OFF_TEXT all along. That being the
case, I've adjusted the stap-probe.c relocation code accordingly.
Searching the sources turned up one other use of data_section_offset,
in gdb/dtrace-probe.c, so I've updated that code as well. The same
reasoning presented above applies to this case too.
Summary:
* gdb/dtrace-probe.c (dtrace_probe::get_relocated_address):
Use method text_section_offset instead of data_section_offset.
* gdb/stap-probe.c (relocate_address): Likewise.
