PR gdb/12623: non-stop crashes inferior, PC adjustment and 1-byte insns TL;DR - if we step an instruction that is as long as decr_pc_after_break (1-byte on x86) right after removing the breakpoint at PC, in non-stop mode, adjust_pc_after_break adjusts the PC, but it shouldn't. In non-stop mode, when a breakpoint is removed, it is moved to the "moribund locations" list. This is because other threads that are running may have tripped on that breakpoint as well, and we haven't heard about it. When a trap is reported, we check if perhaps it was such a deleted breakpoint that caused the trap. If so, we also need to adjust the PC (decr_pc_after_break). Now, say that, on x86: - a breakpoint was placed at an address where we have an instruction of the same length as decr_pc_after_break on this arch (1 on x86). - the breakpoint is removed, and thus put on the moribund locations list. - the thread is single-stepped. As there's no breakpoint inserted at PC anymore, the single-step actually executes the 1-byte instruction normally. GDB should _not_ adjust the PC for the resulting SIGTRAP. But, adjust_pc_after_break confuses the step SIGTRAP reported for this single-step as being a SIGTRAP for the moribund location of the breakpoint that used to be at the previous PC, and so infrun applies the decr_pc_after_break adjustment incorrectly. The confusion comes from the special case mentioned in the comment: static void adjust_pc_after_break (struct execution_control_state *ecs) { ... As a special case, we could have hardware single-stepped a software breakpoint. In this case (prev_pc == breakpoint_pc), we also need to back up to the breakpoint address. */ if (thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (ecs->event_thread) || !ptid_equal (ecs->ptid, inferior_ptid) || !currently_stepping (ecs->event_thread) || (ecs->event_thread->stepped_breakpoint && ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc)) regcache_write_pc (regcache, breakpoint_pc); The condition that incorrectly triggers is the "ecs->event_thread->prev_pc == breakpoint_pc" one. Afterwards, the next resume resume re-executes an instruction that had already executed, which if you're lucky, results in the inferior crashing. If you're unlucky, you'll get silent bad behavior... The fix is to remember that we stepped a breakpoint. Turns out the only case we step a breakpoint instruction today isn't covered by the testsuite. It's the case of a 'handle nostop" signal arriving while a step is in progress _and_ we have a software watchpoint, which forces always single-stepping. This commit extends sigstep.exp to cover that, and adds a new test for the adjust_pc_after_break issue.
