Consolidate the custom TUI query hook with the default query hook This patch primarily rewrites defaulted_query() to use gdb_readline_wrapper() to prompt the user for input, like prompt_for_continue() does. The motivation for this rewrite is to be able to reuse the default query hook in TUI, obviating the need for a custom TUI query hook. However, having TUI use the default query mechanism exposed a couple of latent bugs in tui_redisplay_readline() related to the handling of multi-line prompts, in particular GDB's multi-line quit prompt. The first issue is an off-by-one error in the calculation of the height of the prompt. The check in question should be col <= prev_col, not c < prev_col, to properly account for the case when a prompt contains multiple consecutive newlines. Failing to do so makes TUI have the wrong idea of the vertical height of the prompt. This patch fixes the column check. The second issue is that cur_line does not get updated to reflect the cursor position if the user's prompt cursor is at the end of the prompt (i.e. if rl_point == rl_end). cur_line only gets updated if rl_point lies between 0..rl_end-1 because that is the bounds of the for loop responsible for updating cur_line. This patch changes the loop's bounds to 0..rl_end so that cur_line always gets updated. With these two bug fixes out of the way, the default query mechanism works well in TUI even with multi-line prompts like GDB's quit prompt. gdb/ChangeLog: * utils.c (defaulted_query): Rewrite to use gdb_readline_wrapper to prompt for input. * tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_query_hook): Remove. (tui_install_hooks): Don't set deprecated_query_hook. * tui/tui-io.c (tui_redisplay_readline): Fix off-by-one error in height calculation. Always update the command window's cur_line.

linux-nat.c: better starvation avoidance, handle non-stop mode too Running the testsuite with a series that reimplements user-visible all-stop behavior on top of a target running in non-stop mode revealed problems related to event starvation avoidance. For example, I see gdb.threads/signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp failing. What happens is that GDB core never gets to see the signal event. It ends up processing the events for the same threads over an over, because Linux's waitpid(-1, ...) returns that first task in the task list that has an event, starving threads on the tail of the task list. So I wrote a non-stop mode test originally inspired by signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp, to stress this independently of all-stop on top of non-stop. Fixing it required the changes described below. The test will be added in a following commit. 1) linux-nat.c has code in place that picks an event LWP at random out of all that have had events. This is because on the kernel side, "waitpid(-1, ...)" just walks the task list linearly looking for the first that had an event. But, this code is currently only used in all-stop mode. So with a multi-threaded program that has multiple events triggering debug events in parallel, GDB ends up starving some threads. To make the event randomization work in non-stop mode too, the patch makes us pull out all the already pending events on the kernel side, with waitpid, before deciding which LWP to report to the core. There's some code in linux_wait that takes care of leaving events pending if they were for LWPs the caller is not interested in. The patch moves that to linux_nat_filter_event, so that we only have one place that leaves events pending. With that in place, conceptually, the flow is simpler and more normalized: #1 - walk the LWP list looking for an LWP with a pending event to report. #2 - if no pending event, pull events out of the kernel, and store them in the LWP structures as pending. #3- goto #1. 2) Then, currently the event randomization code only considers SIGTRAP (or trap-like) events. That means that if e.g., have have multiple threads stepping in parallel that hit a breakpoint that needs stepping over, and one gets a signal, the signal may end up never getting processed, because GDB will always be giving priority to the SIGTRAPs. The patch fixes this by making the randomization code consider all kinds of pending events. 3) If multiple threads hit a breakpoint, we report one of those, and "cancel" the others. Cancelling means decrementing the PC, and discarding the event. If the next time the LWP is resumed the breakpoint is still installed, the LWP should hit it again, and we'll report the hit then. The problem I found is that this delays threads from advancing too much, with the kernel potentially ending up scheduling the same threads over and over, and others not advancing. So the patch switches away from cancelling the breakpoints, and instead remembering that the LWP had stopped for a breakpoint. If on resume the breakpoint is still installed, we report it. If it's no longer installed, we discard the pending event then. This is actually how GDBserver used to handle this before d50171e4 (Teach linux gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints), but with the difference that back then we'd delay adjusting the PC until resuming, which made it so that "info threads" could wrongly see threads with unadjusted PCs. gdb/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * breakpoint.c (hardware_breakpoint_inserted_here_p): New function. * breakpoint.h (hardware_breakpoint_inserted_here_p): New declaration. * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_status_is_event): Move higher up in file.

Linux: Skip thread_db thread event reporting if PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE is supported [A test I wrote stumbled on a libthread_db issue related to thread event breakpoints. See glibc PR17705: [nptl_db: stale thread create/death events if debugger detaches] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17705 This patch avoids that whole issue by making GDB stop using thread event breakpoints in the first place, which is good for other reasons as well, anyway.] Before PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (Linux 2.6), the only way to learn about new threads in the inferior (to attach to them) or to learn about thread exit was to coordinate with the inferior's glibc/runtime, using libthread_db. That works by putting a breakpoint at a magic address which is called when a new thread is spawned, or when a thread is about to exit. When that breakpoint is hit, all threads are stopped, and then GDB coordinates with libthread_db to read data structures out of the inferior to learn about what happened. Then the breakpoint is single-stepped, and then all threads are re-resumed. This isn't very efficient (stops all threads) and is more fragile (inferior's thread list in memory may be corrupt; libthread_db bugs, etc.) than ideal. When the kernel supports PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE (which we already make use of), there's really no need to use libthread_db's event reporting mechanism to learn about new LWPs. And if the kernel supports that, then we learn about LWP exits through regular WIFEXITED wait statuses, so no need for the death event breakpoint either. GDBserver has been likewise skipping the thread_db events for a long while: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html There's one user-visible difference: we'll no longer print about threads being created and exiting while the program is running, like: [Thread 0x7ffff7dbb700 (LWP 30670) exited] [New Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671)] [Thread 0x7ffff7dd3700 (LWP 30667) exited] [New Thread 0x7ffff7dab700 (LWP 30672)] [Thread 0x7ffff7db3700 (LWP 30671) exited] [Thread 0x7ffff7dcb700 (LWP 30668) exited] This is exactly the same behavior as when debugging against remote targets / gdbserver. I actually think that's a good thing (and as such have listed this in the local/remote parity wiki page a while ago), as the printing slows down the inferior. It's also a distraction to keep bothering the user about short-lived threads that she won't be able to interact with anyway. Instead, the user (and frontend) will be informed about new threads that currently exist in the program when the program next stops: (gdb) c ... * ctrl-c * [New Thread 0x7ffff7963700 (LWP 7797)] [New Thread 0x7ffff796b700 (LWP 7796)] Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

libthread_db: Skip attaching to terminated and joined threads I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of them. On GNU/Linux, attaching to a multi-threaded program sometimes prints out warnings like: ... [New LWP 20700] warning: unable to open /proc file '/proc/-1/status' [New LWP 20850] [New LWP 21019] ... That happens because when a thread exits, and is joined, glibc does: nptl/pthread_join.c: pthread_join () { ... if (__glibc_likely (result == 0)) { /* We mark the thread as terminated and as joined. */ pd->tid = -1; ... /* Free the TCB. */ __free_tcb (pd); } So if we attach or interrupt the program (which does an implicit "info threads") at just the right (or rather, wrong) time, we can find and return threads in the libthread_db/pthreads thread list with kernel thread ID -1. I've filed glibc PR nptl/17707 for this. You'll find more info there. This patch handles this as a special case in GDB. This is actually more than just a cosmetic issue. lin_lwp_attach_lwp will think that this -1 is an LWP we're not attached to yet, and after failing to attach will try to check we were already attached to the process, using a waitpid call, which in this case ends up being "waitpid (-1, ...", which obviously results in GDB potentially discarding an event when it shouldn't...

Linux: on attach, attach to lwps listed under /proc/$pid/task/ ... instead of relying on libthread_db. I wrote a test that attaches to a program that constantly spawns short-lived threads, which exposed several issues. This is one of them. On Linux, we need to attach to all threads of a process (thread group) individually. We currently rely on libthread_db to list the threads, but that is problematic, because libthread_db relies on reading data structures out of the inferior (which may well be corrupted). If threads are being created or exiting just while we try to attach, we may trip on inconsistencies in the inferior's thread list. To work around that, when we see a seemingly corrupt list, we currently retry a few times: static void thread_db_find_new_threads_2 (ptid_t ptid, int until_no_new) { ... if (until_no_new) { /* Require 4 successive iterations which do not find any new threads. The 4 is a heuristic: there is an inherent race here, and I have seen that 2 iterations in a row are not always sufficient to "capture" all threads. */ ... That heuristic may well fail, and when it does, we end up with threads in the program that aren't under GDB's control. That's obviously bad and results in quite mistifying failures, like e.g., the process dying for seeminly no reason when a thread that wasn't attached trips on a breakpoint. There's really no reason to rely on libthread_db for this nowadays when we have /proc mounted. In that case, which is the usual case, we can list the LWPs from /proc/PID/task/. In fact, GDBserver is already doing this. The patch factors out that code that knows to walk the task/ directory out of GDBserver, and makes GDB use it too. Like GDBserver, the patch makes GDB attach to LWPs and _not_ wait for them to stop immediately. Instead, we just tag the LWP as having an expected stop. Because we can only set the ptrace options when the thread stops, we need a new flag in the lwp structure to keep track of whether we've already set the ptrace options, just like in GDBserver. Note that nothing issues any ptrace command to the threads between the PTRACE_ATTACH and the stop, so this is safe (unlike one scenario described in gdbserver's linux-low.c). When we attach to a program that has threads exiting while we attach, it's easy to race with a thread just exiting as we try to attach to it, like: #1 - get current list of threads #2 - attach to each listed thread #3 - ooops, attach failed, thread is already gone As this is pretty normal, we shouldn't be issuing a scary warning in step #3. When #3 happens, PTRACE_ATTACH usually fails with ESRCH, but sometimes we'll see EPERM as well. That happens when the kernel still has the thread in its task list, but the thread is marked as dead. Unfortunately, EPERM is ambiguous and we'll get it also on other scenarios where the thread isn't dead, and in those cases, it's useful to get a warning. To distiguish the cases, when we get an EPERM failure, we open /proc/PID/status, and check the thread's state -- if the /proc file no longer exists, or the state is "Z (Zombie)" or "X (Dead)", we ignore the EPERM error silently; otherwise, we'll warn. Unfortunately, there seems to be a kernel race here. Sometimes I get EPERM, and then the /proc state still indicates "R (Running)"... If we wait a bit and retry, we do end up seeing X or Z state, or get an ESRCH. I thought of making GDB retry the attach a few times, but even with a 500ms wait and 4 retries, I still see the warning sometimes. I haven't been able to identify the kernel path that causes this yet, but in any case, it looks like a kernel bug to me. As this just results failure to suppress a warning that we've been printing since about forever anyway, I'm just making the test cope with it, and issue an XFAIL. gdb/gdbserver/ 2015-01-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-low.c (linux_attach_fail_reason_string): Move to nat/linux-ptrace.c, and rename.

Don't propagate our current terminal state to the inferior Currently when we start an inferior we have the inferior inherit our terminal state. Under TUI, our terminal is highly modified by ncurses and readline. So when starting an inferior under TUI, the inferior will have a highly modified terminal state which will interfere with standard I/O. For example, $ gdb gdb (gdb) break main (gdb) run (gdb) print puts ("a\nb") a b $1 = 4 (gdb) [enter TUI mode] (gdb) run (gdb) [exit TUI mode] (gdb) print puts ("a\nb") a b $2 = 4 (gdb) print puts ("a\r\nb\r") a b $3 = 6 As you can see, when we start the inferior under the regular interface, puts() prints the text properly. But when we start the inferior under TUI, puts() does not print the text properly. This is because when we start the inferior under TUI it inherits our current terminal state which has been modified by ncurses to, among other things, require an explicit \r\n to print a new line. As a result the inferior performs standard I/O in an unexpected way. Because of this discrepancy, it doesn't seem like a good idea to have the inferior inherit our _current_ terminal state for it may have been modified by readline and/or ncurses. Instead, we should have the inferior inherit a pristine snapshot of our terminal state taken before readline or ncurses have had a chance to alter it. This enables the inferior to run in a more accurate way, more closely mimicking the program's behavior had it run standalone. And it fixes the above mentioned issue. Tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. gdb/ChangeLog: * terminal.h (set_initial_gdb_ttystate): Declare. * inflow.c (initial_gdb_ttystate): New static variable. (set_initial_gdb_ttystate): New setter. (child_terminal_init_with_pgrp): Copy initial_gdb_ttystate instead of our current terminal state. * top.c (gdb_init): Call set_initial_gdb_ttystate.
