TL;DR - GDB can hang if something refreshes the thread list out of the
target while the target is running. GDB hangs inside td_ta_thr_iter.
The fix is to not use that libthread_db function anymore.
Long version:
Running the testsuite against my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series is
still exposing latent non-stop bugs.
I was originally seeing this with the multi-create.exp test, back when
we were still using libthread_db thread event breakpoints. The
all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series forces a thread list refresh each
time GDB needs to start stepping over a breakpoint (to pause all
threads). That test hits the thread event breakpoint often, resulting
in a bunch of step-over operations, thus a bunch of thread list
refreshes while some threads in the target are running.
The commit adds a real non-stop mode test that triggers the issue,
based on multi-create.exp, that does an explicit "info threads" when a
breakpoint is hit. IOW, it does the same things the as-ns series was
doing when testing multi-create.exp.
The bug is a race, so it unfortunately takes several runs for the test
to trigger it. In fact, even when setting the test running in a loop,
it sometimes takes several minutes for it to trigger for me.
The race is related to libthread_db's td_ta_thr_iter. This is
libthread_db's entry point for walking the thread list of the
inferior.
Sometimes, when GDB refreshes the thread list from the target,
libthread_db's td_ta_thr_iter can somehow see glibc's thread list as a
cycle, and get stuck in an infinite loop.
The issue is that when a thread exits, its thread control structure in
glibc is moved from a "used" list to a "cache" list. These lists are
simply circular linked lists where the "next/prev" pointers are
embedded in the thread control structure itself. The "next" pointer
of the last element of the list points back to the list's sentinel
"head". There's only one set of "next/prev" pointers for both lists;
thus a thread can only be in one of the lists at a time, not in both
simultaneously.
So when thread C exits, simplifying, the following happens. A-C are
threads. stack_used and stack_cache are the list's heads.
Before:
stack_used -> A -> B -> C -> (&stack_used)
stack_cache -> (&stack_cache)
After:
stack_used -> A -> B -> (&stack_used)
stack_cache -> C -> (&stack_cache)
td_ta_thr_iter starts by iterating at the list's head's next, and
iterates until it sees a thread whose next pointer points to the
list's head again. Thus in the before case above, C's next points to
stack_used, indicating end of list. In the same case, the stack_cache
list is empty.
For each thread being iterated, td_ta_thr_iter reads the whole thread
object out of the inferior. This includes the thread's "next"
pointer.
In the scenario above, it may happen that td_ta_thr_iter is iterating
thread B and has already read B's thread structure just before thread
C exits and its control structure moves to the cached list.
Now, recall that td_ta_thr_iter is running in the context of GDB, and
there's no locking between GDB and the inferior. From it's local copy
of B, td_ta_thr_iter believes that the next thread after B is thread
C, so it happilly continues iterating to C, a thread that has already
exited, and is now in the stack cache list.
After iterating C, td_ta_thr_iter finds the stack_cache head, which
because it is not stack_used, td_ta_thr_iter assumes it's just another
thread. After this, unless the reverse race triggers, GDB gets stuck
in td_ta_thr_iter forever walking the stack_cache list, as no thread
in thatlist has a next pointer that points back to stack_used (the
terminating condition).
Before fully understanding the issue, I tried adding cycle detection
to GDB's td_ta_thr_iter callback. However, td_ta_thr_iter skips
calling the callback in some cases, which means that it's possible
that the callback isn't called at all, making it impossible for GDB to
break the loop. I did manage to get GDB stuck in that state more than
once.
Fortunately, we can avoid the issue altogether. We don't really need
td_ta_thr_iter for live debugging nowadays, given PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE.
We already know how to map and lwp id to a thread id without iterating
(thread_from_lwp), so use that more.

This function has a few latent bugs that are triggered by a non-stop
mode test that will be added in a subsequent patch.
First, as described in the function's intro comment, the function is
supposed to return 1 if we're already auto attached to the thread, but
haven't processed the PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event of its parent thread
yet.
Then, we may find that we're trying to attach to a clone child that
hasn't yet stopped for its initial stop, and therefore 'waitpid(...,
WNOHANG)' returns 0. In that case, we're currently adding the LWP to
the stopped_pids list, which results in linux_handle_extended_wait
skipping the waitpid call on the child, and thus confusing things
later on when the child eventually reports the stop.
Then, the tail end of lin_lwp_attach_lwp always sets the
last_resume_kind of the LWP to resume_stop, which is wrong given that
the user may be doing "info threads" while some threads are running.
And then, the else branch of lin_lwp_attach_lwp always sets the
stopped flag of the LWP. This branch is reached if the LWP is the
main LWP, which may well be running at this point (to it's wrong to
set its 'stopped' flag).
AFAICS, there's no reason anymore for special-casing the main/leader
LWP here:
- For the "attach" case, linux_nat_attach already adds the main LWP to
the lwp list, and sets its 'stopped' flag.
- For the "run" case, after linux_nat_create_inferior, end up in
linux_nat_wait_1 here:
/* The first time we get here after starting a new inferior, we may
not have added it to the LWP list yet - this is the earliest
moment at which we know its PID. */
if (ptid_is_pid (inferior_ptid))
{
/* Upgrade the main thread's ptid. */
thread_change_ptid (inferior_ptid,
ptid_build (ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid),
ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid), 0));
lp = add_initial_lwp (inferior_ptid);
lp->resumed = 1;
}
... which adds the LWP to the LWP list already, before
lin_lwp_attach_lwp can ever be reached.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-02-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-nat.c (lin_lwp_attach_lwp): No longer special case the
main LWP. Handle the case of waitpid returning 0 if we're already
attached to the LWP. Don't set the LWP's last_resume_kind to
resume_stop if we already knew about the LWP.
(linux_nat_filter_event): Add debug logs.
When gdb creates a dummy frame to execute a function in the inferior,
the process may generate a SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL because the stack
is non executable. If the signal handler set in gdb has option print
or stop enabled for these signals gdb handles this correctly.
However, in the case of noprint and nostop the signal is short-circuited
and the inferior process is sent the signal directly. This causes the
inferior to crash because of gdb.
This patch adds a check for SIGSEGV, SIGTRAP or SIGILL so that these
signals are sent to gdb rather than short-circuited in the inferior.
gdb then handles them properly and the inferior process does not
crash.
This patch also fixes the same behavior in gdbserver.
Also added a small testcase to test the issue called catch-gdb-caused-signals.
This applies to Linux only, tested on Linux.

Since the starvation avoidance series
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-12/msg00631.html), both
GDB and GDBserver pull all events out of ptrace before deciding which
event to process.
There's one problem with that though. Because we resume new threads
immediately when we see a PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event, if the program
constantly spawns threads fast enough, new threads can spawn threads
faster we can pull events out of the kernel, and thus we'd get stuck
in an infinite loop, never returning any event to the core to process.
I occasionally see this happen with the
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp test against gdbserver.
The fix is to delay resuming new threads until we've pulled out all
events out of the kernel.
On native, we already have the resume_stopped_resumed_lwps function
that knows to resume LWPs that are stopped with no event to report to
the core. So the patch just adds another use. GDBserver didn't have
the equivalent yet, so the patch adds one.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver (remote and
extended-remote).

In all these cases we're interested in whether the target is currently
async, with its event sources installed in the event loop, not whether
it can async if needed. Also, I'm not seeing the point of the
target_async call from within linux_nat_wait. That's normally done on
resume instead, which this target already does.

a result, when gdb_readline_wrapper returns, the target is left async,
even through it was sync to begin with.
That can result in weird bugs, like the one the test added by this
commit exposes.

This patch moves the shared code present on

gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_create_inferior to

address space randomization based on user setting, and using

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.

A subsequent patch will make the Linux backend's target_wait method
pull all events out of the kernel (with waitpid) and store them as
pending status in the LWP structure if no pending status was already
available. Then, the backend goes over the pending statuses and pick
one to report to the core.
With that, the existing thread-execl.exp test exposes a bug, like:
(gdb) set scheduler-locking on
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock on: set scheduler-locking on
next
FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock on: get to main in new image (timeout)
Recall that when the non-leader thread execs, all threads in the
process die, the execing thread changes its pid to the tgid, and then
waitpid returns an exec event to the tgid. If GDB didn't resume the
leader LWP, then GDB sees an event for an LWP that was supposedly
stopped, and thus not marked as resumed. Because the code that picks
a pending event to report to the core ignores not-resumed LWPs:
/* Return non-zero if LP has a wait status pending. */
static int
status_callback (struct lwp_info *lp, void *data)
{
/* Only report a pending wait status if we pretend that this has
indeed been resumed. */
if (!lp->resumed)
return 0;
the event ends up pending forever, thus the timeout.

Whenever we resume an LWP, we must clear a few flags and flush the

of all LWPs, but that's unnecessary. This patch makes us flush the
register cache of only the LWP that is resumed. Instead of open
coding all that in many places, we use a helper function.
Likewise, we have two fields in the LWP structure where a pending
status may be recorded. Add a helper predicate that checks both and
use it throughout instead of open coding the checks.

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...

... 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.

This patch enhances GDB on GNU/Linux systems in the situation where
we are debugging an inferior that was created from GDB (as opposed
to attached to), by asking the kernel to kill the inferior if GDB
terminates without doing it itself.
This would typically happen when GDB encounters a problem and
crashes, or when it gets killed by an external process. This can
be observed by starting a program under GDB, and then killing
GDB with signal 9. After GDB is killed, the inferior still remains.
This patch also fixes GDBserver similarly.
This fix is conditional on the kernel supporting the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL
feature. On older kernels, the behavior remains unchanged.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* nat/linux-ptrace.h (PTRACE_O_EXITKILL): Define if not
already defined.

* nat/linux-ptrace.c (linux_test_for_exitkill): New forward

(linux_check_ptrace_features): Add linux_test_for_exitkill call.
(linux_enable_event_reporting): Add new parameter "attached".
Do not call ptrace with the PTRACE_O_EXITKILL if ATTACHED is
nonzero.
* linux-nat.c (linux_init_ptrace): Add parameter "attached".
Use it. Update function description.
(linux_child_post_attach, linux_child_post_startup_inferior):
Update call to linux_enable_event_reporting.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (linux_low_filter_event): Update call to
linux_enable_event_reporting following the addition of
a new parameter to that function.
Tested on x86_64-linux, native and native-gdbserver.
I also verified by hand that the inferior gets killed when killing
GDB in the "run" case, while the inferior remains in the "attach"
case. Same for GDBserver.
This patch introduces find_inferior_ptid to replace the common idiom
find_inferior_pid (ptid_get_pid (...));
It replaces all the instances of that idiom that I found with the new
function.
No significant changes before/after the patch in the regression suite
on amd64 linux.

This patch reorganizes the code that implements follow-fork and
detach-on-fork in preparation for implementation of those features for the
extended-remote target. The function linux-nat.c:linux_child_follow_fork
contained target-independent code mixed in with target-dependent code. The
target-independent pieces need to be accessible for the host-side
implementation of follow-fork for extended-remote Linux targets.
The changes are fairly mechanical. A new routine, follow_fork_inferior,
is implemented in infrun.c, containing those parts of
linux_child_follow_fork that manage inferiors and the inferior list. The
parts of linux_child_follow_fork that deal with LWPs and target-specifics
were left in-place. Although the order of some operations was changed, the
resulting functionality was not.
Modifications were made to the other native target follow-fork functions,
inf_ttrace_follow_fork and inf_ptrace_follow_fork, that should allow them
to work with follow_fork_inferior. Some other adjustments were necessary
in inf-ttrace.c. The changes to inf-ttrace.c and inf-ptrace.c were not
tested.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_follow_fork): Remove target-independent
code so as to work with follow_fork_inferior.
* inf-ttrace.c (inf_ttrace_follow_fork): Ditto.
(inf_ttrace_create_inferior): Remove reference to

(inf_ttrace_kill): Use current_inferior instead of
inf_ttrace_vfork_ppid.
(inf_ttrace_wait): Eliminate use of inf_ttrace_vfork_ppid, report
TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE event, delete HACK that switched the
inferior away from the parent.
* infrun.c (follow_fork): Call follow_fork_inferior instead of
target_follow_fork.
(follow_fork_inferior): New function.
(follow_inferior_reset_breakpoints): Make function static.
* infrun.h (follow_inferior_reset_breakpoints): Remove declaration.
* linux-nat.c (linux_child_follow_fork): Move target-independent
code to infrun.c:follow_fork_inferior.
Now that all Linux targets use the regset iterator, the fall back to
the deprecated target method is dropped.

(linux_target_install_ops): Do not set target method
'make_corefile_notes'.
* linux-tdep.c (struct linux_corefile_thread_data)<collect>:

This commit implements functions for identifying and extracting extended
ptrace event information from a Linux wait status. These are just
convenience functions intended to hide the ">> 16" used to extract the
event from the wait status word, replacing the hard-coded shift with a more
descriptive function call. This is preparatory work for implementation of
follow-fork and detach-on-fork for extended-remote linux targets.

* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_wait_1): Replace "fprintf (stderr..." by
"fprintf_unfiltered (gdb_stdlog...)".
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.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

This patch removes some GDBSERVER checks from nat/linux-ptrace.c.
Currently the code uses a compile-time check to decide whether some
flags should be used. This changes the code to instead let users of
the module specify an additional set of flags; and then changes gdb's
linux-nat.c to call this function. At some later date, when the back

Three issues with
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-06/msg00348.html
(c077881a).
- The inner 'status' local is shadowing the outer 'status' local,
thus PTRACE_DETACH is never seeing the status it intends to pass on
the inferior.
- With that fixed, we then try to pass down the SIGTRAP that results
from the step to the inferior. Need to filter out signals that are
in nopass state.
- For software single-step archs, the current code is equivalent to:
int status = 0;
if (WIFSTOPPED (status))
ptrace (PTRACE_DETACH, child_pid, 0, WSTOPSIG (status));
... and status == 0 is WIFEXITED, not WIFSTOPPED, so we're never
detaching.

Got gdb.base/watch-vfork.exp: Watchpoint triggers after vfork (sw)
(timeout) with Linux 2.6.32 and older version.
The rootcause is after the test use "set can-use-hw-watchpoints 0" let GDB
doesn't use hardware breakpoint and set a watchpoint on "global", GDB
continue will keep single step inside function "vfork".
The Linux 2.6.32 and older version doesn't have commit
6580807da14c423f0d0a708108e6df6ebc8bc83d (get more info please goto
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=6580807da14c423f0d0a708108e6df6ebc8bc83d).
When the function "vfork" do syscall, the single step flag TIF_SINGLESTEP
will copy to child process.
Then GDB detach it, child process and parent process will be hanged.
So I make a patch that do a single step before detach. Then TIF_SINGLESTEP
of child process in old Linux kernel will be cleared before detach.
Child process in new Linux kernel will not be affected by this single step.

This constifies the "args" argument to the target_ops to_attach

I updated all instances of the method. I could not compile all of
them but I hand-inspected them. In all cases either the argument is
ignored, or it is passed to parse_pid_to_attach. (linux-nat does some
extra stuff, but that one I built...)
If you want to try it on your host of choice, please do so.
The code in parse_pid_to_attach seems a little bogus to me. If there
is a platform with a broken strtoul, we have better methods for fixing
the issue now. However, I left the code as is since it is clearly ok
to do so.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

linux_nat_resume is not considering that linux_ops->to_resume may throw:
/* Mark LWP as not stopped to prevent it from being continued by
linux_nat_resume_callback. */
lp->stopped = 0;
if (resume_many)
iterate_over_lwps (ptid, linux_nat_resume_callback, NULL);
If something within linux_nat_resume_callback throws, GDB leaves the
lwp_info as if the inferior was resumed, while it actually wasn't.
A couple examples, there are possibly others:
- i386_linux_resume calls target_read which calls QUIT.
- if the actual ptrace resumption fails in inf_ptrace_resume,
perror_with_name is called.
If the user tries to kill the inferior at this point (or quit, which
offers to kill), GDB locks up trying to stop the lwp -- if it is
already stopped no new waitpid event gets generated for it.
Fix this by setting the stopped flag earlier, as soon as we collect a
stop event with waitpid, and clearing it always only after resuming
the lwp successfully.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. Confirmed the lock-up disappears using a
local hack that forces an error in inf_ptrace_resume.
Also fixes a little "set debug lin-lwp" annoyance. Currently we always see:

Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target. E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run". That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended. Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.
With the patch, we now can have this instead:
(gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
*gdb disconnects*
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.
Before:
(gdb) target native
Use the "run" command to start a native process.
After:
(gdb) target native
Done. Use the "run" command to start a process.
(gdb) maint print target-stack
The current target stack is:
- native (Native process)
- exec (Local exec file)
- None (None)
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./a.out
...
I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode). With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target. Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
(gdb) run
Don't know how to run. Try "help target".
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core
On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before. This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged. The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:
have_inferiors (void)
{
for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
if (inf->pid != 0)
return 1;
It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check. To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.
Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.
Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.
Untested otherwise.

On Linux, we need to explicitly ptrace attach to all lwps of a
process. Because GDB might not be connected yet when an attach is
requested, and thus it may not be possible to activate thread_db, as
that requires access to symbols (IOW, gdbserver --attach), a while ago
we make linux_attach loop over the lwps as listed by /proc/PID/task to
find the lwps to attach to.
linux_attach_lwp_1 has:
...
if (initial)
/* If lwp is the tgid, we handle adding existing threads later.
Otherwise we just add lwp without bothering about any other
threads. */
ptid = ptid_build (lwpid, lwpid, 0);
else
{
/* Note that extracting the pid from the current inferior is
safe, since we're always called in the context of the same
process as this new thread. */
int pid = pid_of (current_inferior);
ptid = ptid_build (pid, lwpid, 0);
}
That "safe" comment referred to linux_attach_lwp being called by
thread-db.c. But this was clearly missed when a new call to
linux_attach_lwp_1 was added to linux_attach. As a result,
current_inferior will be set to some random process, and non-initial
lwps of the second inferior get assigned the pid of the wrong
inferior. E.g., in the case of attaching to two inferiors, for the
second inferior (and so on), non-initial lwps of the second inferior
get assigned the pid of the first inferior. This doesn't trigger on
the first inferior, when current_inferior is NULL, add_thread switches
the current inferior to the newly added thread.
Rather than making linux_attach switch current_inferior temporarily
(thus avoiding further reliance on global state), or making
linux_attach_lwp_1 get the tgid from /proc, which add extra syscalls,
and will be wrong in case of the user having originally attached
directly to a non-tgid lwp, and then that lwp spawning new clones (the
ptid.pid field of further new clones should be the same as the
original lwp's pid, which is not the tgid), we note that callers of
linux_attach_lwp/linux_attach_lwp_1 always have the right pid handy
already, so they can pass it down along with the lwpid.
The only other reason for the "initial" parameter is to error out
instead of warn in case of attach failure, when we're first attaching
to a process. There are only three callers of
linux_attach_lwp/linux_attach_lwp_1, and each wants to print a
different warn/error string, so we can just move the error/warn out of
linux_attach_lwp_1 to the callers, thus getting rid of the "initial"
parameter.
There really nothing gdbserver-specific about attaching to two
threaded processes, so this adds a new test under gdb.multi/. The
test passes cleanly against the native GNU/Linux target, but
fails/triggers the bug against GDBserver (before the patch), with the
native-extended-remote board (as plain remote doesn't support
multi-process).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, with the native-extended-gdbserver board.

Looking at target_terminal_inferior etc. in async mode, I realized
that the naming of the terminal_inferior, terminal_ours,
etc. functions doesn't really give a clue that they're meant for the
native target only. This patch renames them. There's already
child_terminal_info using the child_ prefix, and, they're most
prominently installed by inf-child.c, so I went with the child_
prefix. I dropped "inferior" from a couple to make the name match the
corresponding target method.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, and cross built for mingw. I didn't test
gnu-nat.c, but I think the change is as obvious as it gets. I grepped
the tree looking for other potential spots that would need adjustment
but this is all I found. If something breaks, it should be trivial to
fix.

This patch does the conversion of to_xfer_partial from

enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len);

enum target_object object, const char *annex,
gdb_byte *readbuf, const gdb_byte *writebuf,
ULONGEST offset, ULONGEST len, ULONGEST *xfered_len);
It changes to_xfer_partial return the transfer status and the transfered
length by *XFERED_LEN. Generally, the return status has three stats,
- TARGET_XFER_OK,
- TARGET_XFER_EOF,
- TARGET_XFER_E_XXXX,
See the comments to them in 'enum target_xfer_status'. Note that
Pedro suggested not name TARGET_XFER_DONE, as it is confusing,
compared with "TARGET_XFER_OK". We finally name it TARGET_XFER_EOF.
With this change, GDB core can handle unavailable data in a convenient
way.
The rationale behind this change was mentioned here
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00761.html
Consider an object/value like this:
0 100 150 200 512
DDDDDDDDDDDxxxxxxxxxDDDDDD...DDIIIIIIIIIIII..III
where D is valid data, and xxx is unavailable data, and I is beyond
the end of the object (Invalid). Currently, if we start the
xfer at 0, requesting, say 512 bytes, we'll first get back 100 bytes.
The xfer machinery then retries fetching [100,512), and gets back
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE. That's sufficient when you're either
interested in either having the whole of the 512 bytes available,
or erroring out. But, in this scenario, we're interested in
the data at [150,512). The problem is that the last
TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE gives us no indication where to
start the read next. We'd need something like:
get me [0,512) >>>
<<< here's [0,100), *xfered_len is 100, returns TARGET_XFER_OK
get me [100,512) >>> (**1)
<<< [100,150) is unavailable, *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE.
get me [150,512) >>>
<<< here's [150,200), *xfered_len is 50, return TARGET_XFER_OK.
get me [200,512) >>>
<<< no more data, return TARGET_XFER_EOF.
This naturally implies pushing down the decision of whether
to return TARGET_XFER_E_UNAVAILABLE or something else
down to the target. (Which kinds of leads back to tfile
itself reading from RO memory from file (though we could
export a function in exec.c for that that tfile delegates to,
instead of re-adding the old code).
Beside this change, we also add a macro TARGET_XFER_STATUS_ERROR_P to
check whether a status is an error or not, to stop using "status < 0".
This patch also eliminates the comparison between status and 0.
No target implementations to to_xfer_partial adapts this new
interface. The interface still behaves as before.

This patch adds a typedef target_xfer_partial_ftype. When we change
the signature of xfer_partial functions (for example, adding a new
parameter), we don't have to modify all of their declarations.
This patch also updates the type of parameters of target_xfer_partial
from "void *" to "gdb_byte *".

This patch constifies the target_ops method to_detach.
This is a small cleanup, but also, I think, a bug-prevention fix,
since gdb already acts as if the "args" argument here was const.
In particular, top.c:quit_force calls kill_or_detach via
iterate_over_inferiors. kill_or_detach calls target_detach, passing
the same argument each time. So, if one of these methods was not
const-correct, then kill_or_detach would change its behavior in a
strange way.
I could not build every target I modified in this patch. I've
inspected them all by hand, though. Many targets do not use the
"args" parameter; a couple pass it to atoi; and a few pass it on to
the to_detach method of the target beneath. The only code that
required a real change was in linux-nat.c, and that only needed the
introduction of a temporary variable for const-correctness.

In http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00174.html , the
issue of child signal handling around ptrace option support discovery
being different between GDB and GDBserver came up.
I recalled adding these block_child_signals calls, and the "We don't
want those ptrace calls to be interrupted" comment, but not exactly
why. So I looked into it. My first guess is that I got confused.
The patch that added this
<http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-04/msg00125.html> rewrote
the linux native async support completely, and the old async support
code had the SIGCHLD handler itself do waitpid, so in places that we'd
want a blocking waitpid, we'd have to have the signal handler blocked.
That was probably the mindset I had at the time. Anyway, whatever the
case, looks like I was wrong on the need for this blocking.
Given GDBserver doesn't block like this, I investigated why this is
currently needed on GDB but not on GDBserver.
I removed the block_child_signals (and restore) calls, and hacked
linux-nat.c to call linux_test_for_tracefork in a loop, like:
@@ -534,7 +534,10 @@ static int
linux_supports_tracefork (int pid)
{
if (linux_supports_tracefork_flag == -1)
- linux_test_for_tracefork (pid);
+ {
+ while (1)
+ linux_test_for_tracefork (pid);
+ }
return linux_supports_tracefork_flag;
}
Running the resulting GDB, I then saw bad things happening.
Specifically, I'd end up with a bunch of zombies, and eventually, the
machine would refuse to spawn new processes, claming insufficient
resources.
The issue is that linux_test_for_tracefork test forks, and has the
child fork again. If we don't block SIGCHLD on entry to the function,
the children will inherit SIGCHLD's action/disposition (meaning,
SIGCHLD will be unblocked in the child). When the first child forks
again a second child, and that child exits, the first child gets a
SIGCHLD. Now, when we try to wrap up for the whole options test, we
kill the first child, and collect the waitstatus. Here, when SIGCHLD
isn't blocked, GDB will first see the child reporting a stop with
SIGCHLD. gdbserver's ptrace options test does a PTRACE_KILL loop at
the end, which catches the SIGCHLD, and retries the kill. The GDB
version did not do that. So the GDB version would proceed, leaving
the child zombie (until GDB exists), as nothing collected its final
waitstatus.
So this patch makes the GDB version of linux_test_for_tracefork do the
exact same as the GDBserver version, removes all this unnecessary
blocking throughout, and adds a couple comments at places that do need
it -- namely: places where we'll use sleep with sigsuspend; and
linux_async_pipe, as that destroys the pipe the signal handler
touches.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, sync and async.

Oleg Nesterov told me that the Linux kernel copies the parent's ptrace
options to fork/clone children, so there's no need for GDB to do that
manually.
I was actually a bit surprised, since I thought the ptracer had to
always set the ptrace options itself, and GDB is indeed calling
PTRACE_SETOPTIONS for each new fork child, if it'll stay attached.
Looking at the history of that code, I found that is was actually I
who added that set-ptrace-options-in-children bit, back in
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-05/msg00656.html. But,
honestly, I don't recall why I needed that. I think I may have just
blindly believed it was necessary.
I then looked back at the history of all the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS code we
have, and found that gdb never did copy the ptrace options before my
patch. But, when gdbserver learnt to use PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, at
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html, it was
made to do 'ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, new_pid, 0,
PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE)' for all new clones. Hmmm. But, GDB itself
never did that, so it can't really ever have been necessary, I
believe, otherwise GDB should have been doing it too.
(GDBserver doesn't support following forks, and so naturally doesn't
do any PTRACE_SETOPTIONS on fork children.)
So this patch removes the -I believe- unnecessary ptrace syscalls.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native/gdbserver, and on x86_64 RHEL5
native/gdbserver (Linux 2.6.18, I think a ptrace-on-utrace kernel).
No regressions.

A natural fix would be to make xxx_get_debug_reg_state take an
inferior argument, but that doesn't work because of the case where we
detach breakpoints/watchpoints from the child fork, at a time there's
no inferior for the child fork at all. We do a nasty hack in
i386_inferior_data_get, but that relies on all callers pointing the
current inferior to the correct inferior, which isn't actually being
done by all callers, and I don't think we want to enforce that -- deep
in the bowls of linux-nat.c, there are many cases we resume lwps
behind the scenes, and it's be better to not have that code rely on
global state (as it doesn't today).
The fix is to decouple the watchpoints code from inferiors, making it
track target processes instead. This way, we can freely keep track of
the watchpoint mirrors for these processes behind the core's back.
Checkpoints also play dirty tricks with swapping the process behind
the inferior, so they get special treatment too in the patch (which
just amounts to calling a new hook). Instead of the old hack in
i386_inferior_data_get, where we returned a copy of the current
inferior's debug registers mirror, as soon as we detect a fork in the
target, we copy the debug register mirror from the parent to the child
process.
I don't have an old kernel handy to test, but I stepped through gdb doing
the watchpoint removal in the fork child in the watchpoint-fork test
seeing that the debug registers end up cleared in the child.
I didn't find the need for linux_nat_iterate_watchpoint_lwps. If
we use plain iterate_over_lwps instead, what happens is that
when removing watchpoints, that iterate_over_lwps doesn't actually
iterate over anything, since the fork child is not added to the
lwp list until later, at detach time, in linux_child_follow_fork.
And if we don't iterate over that lwp, we don't mark its debug
registers as needing update. But linux_child_follow_fork takes
care of doing that explicitly:
child_lp = add_lwp (inferior_ptid);
child_lp->stopped = 1;
child_lp->last_resume_kind = resume_stop;
make_cleanup (delete_lwp_cleanup, child_lp);
/* CHILD_LP has new PID, therefore linux_nat_new_thread is not called for it.
See i386_inferior_data_get for the Linux kernel specifics.
Ensure linux_nat_prepare_to_resume will reset the hardware debug
registers. It is done by the linux_nat_new_thread call, which is
being skipped in add_lwp above for the first lwp of a pid. */
gdb_assert (num_lwps (GET_PID (child_lp->ptid)) == 1);
if (linux_nat_new_thread != NULL)
linux_nat_new_thread (child_lp);
if (linux_nat_prepare_to_resume != NULL)
linux_nat_prepare_to_resume (child_lp);
ptrace (PTRACE_DETACH, child_pid, 0, 0);
so unless I'm missing something (quite possible) it ends up all
the same. But, the !detach-on-fork, and the "follow-fork child" paths
should also call linux_nat_new_thread, and they don't presently. It
seems to me in those cases we're not clearing debug regs correctly
when that's needed. Instead of copying that bit that works around
add_lwp bypassing the linux_nat_new_thread call, I thought it'd
be better to add an add_initial_lwp call to be used in the case we
really need to bypass linux_nat_new_thread, and make
add_lwp always call linux_nat_new_thread.
i386_cleanup_dregs is rewritten to forget about the current process
debug mirrors, which takes cares of other i386 ports. Only a couple
of extra tweaks here and there were needed, as some targets wheren't
actually calling i386_cleanup_dregs.
Tested on Fedora 17 x86_64 -m64/-m32.
GDBserver already fetches the i386_debug_reg_state from the right
process, and, it doesn't handle forks at all, so no fix is needed over
there.

* gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp: New.
Before this change, detach_breakpoints would take a pid, and then
set inferior_ptid to a ptid that it constructs using pid_to_ptid (pid).
Unfortunately, this ptid is not necessarily valid. Consider for
instance the case of ia64-hpux, where ttrace refuses a register-read
operation if the LWP is not provided.
This problems shows up when GDB is trying to handle fork events.
Assuming GDB is configured to follow the parent, GDB will try to
detach from the child. But before doing so, it needs to remove
all breakpoints inside that child. On ia64, this involves reading
inferior (the child's) memory. And on ia64-hpux, reading memory
requires us to read the bsp and bspstore registers, in order to
determine where that memory is relative to the value of those
registers, and thus to determine which ttrace operation to use in
order to fetch that memory (see ia64_hpux_xfer_memory).
This patch therefore changes detach_breakpoints to take a ptid instead
of a pid, and then updates all callers.
One of the consequences of this patch is that it trips an assert
on GNU/Linux targets. But this assert appears to have not actual
purpose, and is thus removed.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* breakpoint.h (detach_breakpoints): pid parameter is now a ptid.
* breakpoint.c (detach_breakpoints): Change pid parameter into
a ptid. Adjust code accordingly.
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Delete variable child_pid.
Update call to detach_breakpoints to pass the child ptid for
fork events.
* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_iterate_watchpoint_lwps): Remove
assert that inferior_ptid's lwp is zero.
(linux_handle_extended_wait): Update call to detach_breakpoints.
* inf-ttrace.c (inf_ttrace_follow_fork): Update call to
detach_breakpoints.
