gdbserver: Fix non-stop / fork / step-over issues
Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00868.html
This adds a test that has a multithreaded program have several threads
continuously fork, while another thread continuously steps over a
breakpoint.
This exposes several intertwined issues, which this patch addresses:
- When we're stopping and suspending threads, some thread may fork,
and we missed setting its suspend count to 1, like we do when a new
clone/thread is detected. When we next unsuspend threads, the fork
child's suspend count goes below 0, which is bogus and fails an
assertion.
- If a step-over is cancelled because a signal arrives, but then gdb
is not interested in the signal, we pass the signal straight back
to the inferior. However, we miss that we need to re-increment the
suspend counts of all other threads that had been paused for the
step-over. As a result, other threads indefinitely end up stuck
stopped.
- If a detach request comes in just while gdbserver is handling a
step-over (in the test at hand, this is GDB detaching the fork
child), gdbserver internal errors in stabilize_thread's helpers,
which assert that all thread's suspend counts are 0 (otherwise we
wouldn't be able to move threads out of the jump pads). The
suspend counts aren't 0 while a step-over is in progress, because
all threads but the one stepping past the breakpoint must remain
paused until the step-over finishes and the breakpoint can be
reinserted.
- Occasionally, we see "BAD - reinserting but not stepping." being
output (from within linux_resume_one_lwp_throw). That was because
GDB pokes memory while gdbserver is busy with a step-over, and that
suspends threads, and then re-resumes them with proceed_one_lwp,
which missed another reason to tell linux_resume_one_lwp that the
thread should be set back to stepping.
- In a couple places, we were resuming threads that are meant to be
suspended. E.g., when a vCont;c/s request for thread B comes in
just while gdbserver is stepping thread A past a breakpoint. The
resume for thread B must be deferred until the step-over finishes.
- The test runs with both "set detach-on-fork" on and off. When off,
it exercises the case of GDB detaching the fork child explicitly.
When on, it exercises the case of gdb resuming the child
explicitly. In the "off" case, gdb seems to exponentially become
slower as new inferiors are created. This is _very_ noticeable as
with only 100 inferiors gdb is crawling already, which makes the
test take quite a bit to run. For that reason, I've disabled the
"off" variant for now.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-08-06 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* target/waitstatus.h (enum target_stop_reason)
<TARGET_STOPPED_BY_SINGLE_STEP>: New value.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-08-06 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Set the fork child's suspend
count if stopping and suspending threads.
(check_stopped_by_breakpoint): If stopped by trace, set the LWP's
stop reason to TARGET_STOPPED_BY_SINGLE_STEP.
(linux_detach): Complete an ongoing step-over.
(lwp_suspended_inc, lwp_suspended_decr): New functions. Use
throughout.
(resume_stopped_resumed_lwps): Don't resume a suspended thread.
(linux_wait_1): If passing a signal to the inferior after
finishing a step-over, unsuspend and re-resume all lwps. If we
see a single-step event but the thread should be continuing, don't
pass the trap to gdb.
(stuck_in_jump_pad_callback, move_out_of_jump_pad_callback): Use
internal_error instead of gdb_assert.
(enqueue_pending_signal): New function.
(check_ptrace_stopped_lwp_gone): Add debug output.
(start_step_over): Use internal_error instead of gdb_assert.
(complete_ongoing_step_over): New function.
(linux_resume_one_thread): Don't resume a suspended thread.
(proceed_one_lwp): If the LWP is stepping over a breakpoint, reset
it stepping.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
