Intel MPX bound violation handling
With Intel Memory Protection Extensions it was introduced the concept of boundary violation. A boundary violations is presented to the inferior as a segmentation fault having SIGCODE 3. This patch adds a handler for a boundary violation extending the information displayed when a bound violation is presented to the inferior. In the stop mode case the debugger will also display the kind of violation: "upper" or "lower", bounds and the address accessed. On no stop mode the information will still remain unchanged. Additional information about bound violations are not meaningful in that case user does not know the line in which violation occurred as well. When the segmentation fault handler is stop mode the out puts will be changed as exemplified below. The usual output of a segfault is: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault 0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050, c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68 68 value = *(p + len); In case it is a bound violation it will be presented as: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3 Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3] 0x0000000000400d7c in upper (p=0x603010, a=0x603030, b=0x603050, c=0x603070, d=0x603090, len=7) at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68 68 value = *(p + len); In mi mode the output of a segfault is: *stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV", signal-meaning="Segmentation fault", frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c", func="upper",args=[{name="p", value="0x603010"},{name="a",value="0x603030"} ,{name="b",value="0x603050"}, {name="c",value="0x603070"}, {name="d",value="0x603090"},{name="len",value="7"}], file="i386-mpx-sigsegv.c",fullname="i386-mpx-sigsegv.c",line="68"}, thread-id="1",stopped-threads="all",core="6" in the case of a bound violation: *stopped,reason="signal-received",signal-name="SIGSEGV", signal-meaning="Segmentation fault", sigcode-meaning="Upper bound violation", lower-bound="0x603010",upper-bound="0x603023",bound-access="0x60302f", frame={addr="0x0000000000400d7c",func="upper",args=[{name="p", value="0x603010"},{name="a",value="0x603030"},{name="b",value="0x603050"}, {name="c",value="0x603070"},{name="d",value="0x603090"}, {name="len",value="7"}],file="i386-mpx-sigsegv.c", fullname="i386-mpx-sigsegv.c",line="68"},thread-id="1", stopped-threads="all",core="6" 2016-02-18 Walfred Tedeschi <walfred.tedeschi@intel.com> gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Add entry for bound violation. * amd64-linux-tdep.c (amd64_linux_init_abi_common): Add handler for segmentation fault. * gdbarch.sh (handle_segmentation_fault): New. * gdbarch.c: Regenerate. * gdbarch.h: Regenerate. * i386-linux-tdep.c (i386_linux_handle_segmentation_fault): New.
