Always pass signals to the right thread Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several different but related scenarios. E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread 2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread 2, not thread 1. This obviously messes up programs that use pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads. This has been a known issue for a long while. Back in 2008 when I made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later. The time has finally come now. The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always delivered to the thread that had intercepted them. Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint... If the user deletes the breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered to thread 2 (the current thread). "signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing "handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had stopped for. These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin, and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do. GDB might have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test). At least in the inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the command's behavior consistent and easy to explain. Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with: (gdb) continue Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO. (gdb) thread 2 (gdb) signal SIGBAR ... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2 (with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then "signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads). So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation: (gdb) thread 1 [Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)] (gdb) signal SIGUSR2 Note: Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2. Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads. Continue anyway? (y or n) All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.

Fix PR threads/19422 - show which thread caused stop This commit changes GDB like this: - Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. + Thread 1 "main" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. - Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87. + Thread 3 "bar" hit Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87. ... once the program goes multi-threaded. Until GDB sees a second thread spawn, the output is still the same as before, per the discussion back in 2012: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2012-11/msg00010.html This helps non-stop mode, where you can't easily tell which thread hit a breakpoint or received a signal: (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 19362) "main" (running) 2 Thread 0x7ffff7fc0700 (LWP 19366) "foo" (running) 3 Thread 0x7ffff77bf700 (LWP 19367) "bar" (running) (gdb) Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. 0x0000003616a09237 in pthread_join (threadid=140737353877248, thread_return=0x7fffffffd5b8) at pthread_join.c:92 92 lll_wait_tid (pd->tid); (gdb) b threads.c:87 Breakpoint 1 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87. (gdb) Breakpoint 1, thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:87 87 usleep (1); /* Loop increment. */ The best the user can do is run "info threads" and try to figure things out. It actually also affects all-stop mode, in case of "handle SIG print nostop": ... Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. ... The above doesn't give any clue that these were different threads getting the SIGUSR1 signal. I initially thought of lowercasing "breakpoint" in "Thread 3 hit Breakpoint 1" but then after trying it I realized that leaving "Breakpoint" uppercase helps the eye quickly find the relevant information. It's also easier to implement not showing anything about threads until the program goes multi-threaded this way. Here's a larger example session in non-stop mode: (gdb) c -a& Continuing. (gdb) interrupt -a (gdb) Thread 1 "main" stopped. 0x0000003616a09237 in pthread_join (threadid=140737353877248, thread_return=0x7fffffffd5b8) at pthread_join.c:92 92 lll_wait_tid (pd->tid); Thread 2 "foo" stopped. 0x0000003615ebc6ed in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 81 T_PSEUDO (SYSCALL_SYMBOL, SYSCALL_NAME, SYSCALL_NARGS) Thread 3 "bar" stopped. 0x0000003615ebc6ed in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 81 T_PSEUDO (SYSCALL_SYMBOL, SYSCALL_NAME, SYSCALL_NARGS) b threads.c:87 Breakpoint 4 at 0x40087a: file threads.c, line 87.
