commit 62261490a36c6911c5eb61be7cddcfb1bd19ba18 Author: Pedro Alves Date: Thu Jan 16 17:43:26 2014 +0000 Fix gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp on s390. The test fails on s390 with: -trace-find frame-number 0^M &"PC not available\n"^M ^done,found="1",tracepoint="1",traceframe="0",frame={level="-1",addr="",func="??",args=[]}^M (gdb) ^M FAIL: gdb.trace/mi-traceframe-changed.exp: tfile: -trace-find frame-number 0 tfile knows to infer the PC from the tracepoint's address if the PC wasn't collected (tfile_fetch_registers) but, that only works on targets whose PC register is a raw register, and on s390, the PC register is a pseudo register. But even if GDB doesn't know how to infer the value of PC, saying the current frame is level -1 is a bug: ^done,found="1",tracepoint="1",traceframe="0",frame={level="-1",addr="",func="??",args=[]}^M ^^^^^^^^^ '-1' is the level of the sentinel frame, which should never be visible. This is caused by the s390's heuristic unwinder accepting the frame (the fallback heuristic unwinders _always_ accept the frame), but then the unwind->this_id method throws that "PC not available\n" error. IOW, the s390's heuristic unwinder was never adjusted to handle unavailable register values gracefully, which can happen with e.g., a trimmed core file too. This is just the minimal necessary for frames, which at least gets us: (gdb) tfind Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 1 #0 in ?? () That is, frame #0 instead of -1. We could get better info out of "info frame" (this patch makes us show "outermost"), but this change would still be necessary. gdb/ 2014-01-16 Pedro Alves * s390-linux-tdep.c (s390_frame_unwind_cache): Swallow NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR errors while parsing the prologue or reading the backchain.
