129 /* A program space represents a symbolic view of an address space.
130 Roughly speaking, it holds all the data associated with a
131 non-running-yet program (main executable, main symbols), and when
132 an inferior is running and is bound to it, includes the list of its
133 mapped in shared libraries.
134
135 In the traditional debugging scenario, there's a 1-1 correspondence
136 among program spaces, inferiors and address spaces, like so:
137
138 pspace1 (prog1) <--> inf1(pid1) <--> aspace1
139
140 In the case of debugging more than one traditional unix process or
141 program, we still have:
142
143 |-----------------+------------+---------|
144 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
145 |----------------------------------------|
146 | pspace2 (prog1) | no inf yet | aspace2 |
147 |-----------------+------------+---------|
148 | pspace3 (prog2) | inf2(pid2) | aspace3 |
149 |-----------------+------------+---------|
150
151 In the former example, if inf1 forks (and GDB stays attached to
152 both processes), the new child will have its own program and
153 address spaces. Like so:
154
155 |-----------------+------------+---------|
156 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
157 |-----------------+------------+---------|
158 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
159 |-----------------+------------+---------|
160
161 However, had inf1 from the latter case vforked instead, it would
162 share the program and address spaces with its parent, until it
163 execs or exits, like so:
164
165 |-----------------+------------+---------|
166 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
167 | | inf2(pid2) | |
168 |-----------------+------------+---------|
169
170 When the vfork child execs, it is finally given new program and
171 address spaces.
172
173 |-----------------+------------+---------|
174 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
175 |-----------------+------------+---------|
176 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
177 |-----------------+------------+---------|
178
179 There are targets where the OS (if any) doesn't provide memory
180 management or VM protection, where all inferiors share the same
181 address space --- e.g. uClinux. GDB models this by having all
182 inferiors share the same address space, but, giving each its own
183 program space, like so:
184
185 |-----------------+------------+---------|
186 | pspace1 (prog1) | inf1(pid1) | |
187 |-----------------+------------+ |
188 | pspace2 (prog1) | inf2(pid2) | aspace1 |
189 |-----------------+------------+ |
190 | pspace3 (prog2) | inf3(pid3) | |
191 |-----------------+------------+---------|
192
193 The address space sharing matters for run control and breakpoints
194 management. E.g., did we just hit a known breakpoint that we need
195 to step over? Is this breakpoint a duplicate of this other one, or
196 do I need to insert a trap?
197
198 Then, there are targets where all symbols look the same for all
199 inferiors, although each has its own address space, as e.g.,
200 Ericsson DICOS. In such case, the model is:
201
202 |---------+------------+---------|
203 | | inf1(pid1) | aspace1 |
204 | +------------+---------|
205 | pspace | inf2(pid2) | aspace2 |
206 | +------------+---------|
207 | | inf3(pid3) | aspace3 |
208 |---------+------------+---------|
209
210 Note however, that the DICOS debug API takes care of making GDB
211 believe that breakpoints are "global". That is, although each
212 process does have its own private copy of data symbols (just like a
213 bunch of forks), to the breakpoints module, all processes share a
214 single address space, so all breakpoints set at the same address
215 are duplicates of each other, even breakpoints set in the data
216 space (e.g., call dummy breakpoints placed on stack). This allows
217 a simplification in the spaces implementation: we avoid caring for
218 a many-many links between address and program spaces. Either
219 there's a single address space bound to the program space
220 (traditional unix/uClinux), or, in the DICOS case, the address
221 space bound to the program space is mostly ignored. */
