Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user. The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.
The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size. The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.
Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

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).

This patch moves the shared code present on
gdb/linux-nat.c:linux_nat_create_inferior and
gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_create_inferior to
nat/linux-personality.c. This code is responsible for disabling
address space randomization based on user setting, and using
<sys/personality.h> to do that. I decided to put the prototype of the
maybe_disable_address_space_randomization on nat/linux-osdata.h
because it seemed the best place to put it.
I regression-tested this patch on Fedora 20 x86_64, and found no
regressions.

... 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.
(linux_enable_event_reporting): Add parameter "attached".
* nat/linux-ptrace.c (linux_test_for_exitkill): New forward
declaration. New function.
(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 makes gdbserver actually provide values for the TDB registers
when the inferior was stopped in a transaction. The change in
linux-low.c is needed to suppress the warning for an unavailable TDB.
The test case 's390-tdbregs.exp' passes with this patch and fails
without.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Suppress the
warning upon ENODATA from ptrace.
* linux-s390-low.c (s390_store_tdb): New.
(s390_regsets): Add regset for NT_S390_TDB.
For GNU/Linux targets using the regsets interface, this change
supports regsets that can be read but not written. The S390 "last
break" regset is an example. So far it had been defined with
regset->set_request == PTRACE_GETREGSET, such that the respective
ptrace call does not cause any harm. Now we just skip the whole
read/modify/write sequence for regsets that do not define a
fill_function.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_store_inferior_registers): Skip regsets
without a fill_function.
* linux-s390-low.c (s390_fill_last_break): Remove.
(s390_regsets): Set fill_function to NULL for NT_S390_LAST_BREAK.
(s390_arch_setup): Use regset's size instead of fill_function for
loop end condition.
When fetch_inferior_registers does not update all registers, this
patch assures that no stale register values remain in the register
cache. On Linux platforms using the regsets interface, when one of
the ptrace calls used for fetching the register values returns an
error, this patch also avoids copying the random data returned from
ptrace into the register cache. All unfetched registers are marked
"unavailable" instead.

* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Do not invoke
the regset's store function when ptrace returned an error.
* regcache.c (get_thread_regcache): Invalidate register cache
before fetching inferior's registers.
Replace the while-loops in linux-low.c that iterate over regsets by
for-loops. This makes it clearer what is iterated over. Also, since
"continue" now moves on to the next iteration without having to
increment the regset pointer first, the code is slightly reduced.
In case of EIO the old code did not increment the regset pointer, but
iterated over the same (now disabled) regset again. This extra
iteration is now avoided.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (regsets_fetch_inferior_registers): Rephrase
while-loop as for-loop.
(regsets_store_inferior_registers): Likewise.
There's code in linux_wait_1 that resumes all threads if the Hc thread
disappears. It's the wrong thing to do, as GDB has told GDBserver to
resume only one thread, because e.g., the user has scheduler-locking
enabled, or because GDB was stepping the program over a breakpoint.
Resuming all threads behind GDB's back can't be good in either case.
The right thing to do is to detect that that the (only) resumed thread
is gone, and let GDB know about it. The Linux backend is already
doing that nowadays, since:
commit fa96cb382c
Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
AuthorDate: Thu Feb 27 14:30:08 2014 +0000
Teach GDBserver's Linux backend about no unwaited-for children (TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED).
The backend detects that all resumed threads have disappeared, and
returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED to the core of GDBserver, which
then reports an error to GDB.
There's no need to frob the passed in ptid to wait for the continue
thread either -- linux_wait_for_event only returns events for resumed
threads.
The badness (of resuming threads) can actually be observed in the
testsuite, if we force-disable vCont support in GDBserver -- before
the patch, gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp hangs if we disable
vCont:
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
FAIL: gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: continue to breakpoint: break-here (timeout)
... more cascading timeouts ....
After the patch, gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp behaves the same
with or without vCont support:

* linux-low.c (linux_wait_1): Don't force a wait for the Hc
thread, and don't resume all threads if the Hc thread has exited.
The target->request_interrupt callback implements the handling for
ctrl-c. User types ctrl-c in GDB, GDB sends a \003 to the remote
target, and the remote targets stops the program with a SIGINT, just
like if the user typed ctrl-c in GDBserver's terminal.
The trouble is that using kill_lwp(signal_pid, SIGINT) sends the
SIGINT directly to the program's main thread. If that thread has
exited already, then that kill won't do anything.
Instead, send the SIGINT to the process group, just like GDB
does (see inf-ptrace.c:inf_ptrace_stop).
gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp is extended to cover the scenario. It
fails against GDBserver before the patch.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and GDBserver.

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/sigstep-threads.exp: continue
the cause is that GDBserver doesn't cancel the breakpoint if the stop
signal is SIGILL. The kernel used here is a little old, 2.6.x, and
doesn't translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP when program hits breakpoint
instruction (which is an illegal instruction actually). GDB and
GDBserver can translate SIGILL to SIGTRAP under certain circumstance,
so it is not a problem here. See gdbserver/linux-low.c:linux_wait_1
/* If this event was not handled before, and is not a SIGTRAP, we
report it. SIGILL and SIGSEGV are also treated as traps in case
a breakpoint is inserted at the current PC. If this target does
not support internal breakpoints at all, we also report the
SIGTRAP without further processing; it's of no concern to us. */

&& (WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGTRAP
|| ((WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGILL
|| WSTOPSIG (w) == SIGSEGV)
&& (*the_low_target.breakpoint_at) (event_child->stop_pc))));
However, SIGILL and SIGSEGV is not considered when cancelling
breakpoint, which causes the fail above. That is, when GDB is doing
software single step on address ADDR, both thread A and thread B hits the
software single step breakpoint, and get SIGILL. GDB selects the event
from thread A, removes the software single step breakpoint, and resume
the program. The event (SIGILL) from thread B is reported to GDB, but
GDB doesn't regard this SIGILL as SIGTRAP, because the breakpoint on
address ADDR was removed, so GDB reports "Program received signal
SIGILL".
The patch is to allow calling cancel_breakpoint if the signal is
SIGILL and SIGSEGV. This patch fixes the fail above. Likewise, event
lwp selection should honour SIGILL and SIGSEGV too.

GDB has a function named "current_inferior" and gdbserver has a global
variable named "current_inferior", but the two are not equivalent;
indeed, gdbserver does not have any real equivalent of what GDB calls
an inferior. What gdbserver's "current_inferior" is actually pointing
to is a structure describing the current thread. This commit renames
current_inferior as current_thread in gdbserver to clarify this. It
also renames the function "set_desired_inferior" to "set_desired_thread"
and renames various local variables from foo_inferior to foo_thread.

This commit downgrades a fatal error to a warning in linux_async.
linux_async is called from two different places in gdbserver:
Via target_async from handle_accept_event. The argument
is always zero, so the warning will never be printed here.
Via start_non_stop from handle_general_set. This prints
its own error message to stderr on failure, which will
be preceded by the warning if it is emitted.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (linux_async): Replace fatal with warning.
Tidy up and return.
(linux_start_non_stop): Return -1 if linux_async failed.
This commit moves the inclusion of errno.h to common-defs.h and
removes all other inclusions. Note that prior to this commit
server.h included errno.h protected by "#ifdef HAVE_ERRNO_H".
This protection was added with the Windows CE port, which is
currently broken. Since no other platform needs this, I have
removed the protection and the configury to support it.

The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited
(even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread
list is being walked on with find_inferior. find_inferior can handle
the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others.
When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending
status handling of linux_wait_for_event. We can just waitpid the lwps
directly, which is also what GDB does (see
linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback). This way the lwps are not deleted
while we're walking the list. They'll be deleted by linux_mourn
afterwards.
This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against
GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB
can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being
sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet
doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no
FAIL.
The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with
extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too). Here's
how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix:

Actually, that patch just exposed a latent issue to "breakpoints
always-inserted off" mode, not really caused it. After that patch,
GDB no longer removes breakpoints at each internal event, thus making
some scenarios behave like breakpoint always-inserted on. The bug is
easy to trigger with always-inserted on.
The issue is that since the target-side breakpoint conditions support,
if the stub/server supports evaluating breakpoint conditions on the
target side, then GDB is sending duplicate Zx packets to the target
without removing them before, and GDBserver is not really expecting
that for Z packets other than Z0/z0. E.g., with "set breakpoint
always-inserted on" and "set debug remote 1":
(gdb) b main
Sending packet: $m410943,1#ff...Packet received: 48
Breakpoint 4 at 0x410943: file ../../../src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c, line 3028.

So GDB sent a bunch of Z1 packets, and then when finally removing the
breakpoint, only one z1 packet was sent. On the GDBserver side (with
monitor set debug-hw-points 1), in the Z1 case, we see:

That's one insert_watchpoint call for each Z1 packet, and then one
remove_watchpoint call for the z1 packet. Notice how ref.count
increased for each insert_watchpoint call, and then in the end, after
GDB told GDBserver to forget about the hardware breakpoint, GDBserver
ends with the the first debug register still with ref.count=4! IOW,
the hardware breakpoint is left armed on the target, while on the GDB
end it's gone. If the program happens to execute 0x410943 afterwards,
then the CPU traps, GDBserver reports the trap to GDB, and GDB not
having a breakpoint set at that address anymore, reports to the user a
spurious SIGTRAP.
This is exactly what is happening in the hbreak2.exp test, though in
that case, it's a shared library event that triggers a
breakpoint_re_set, when breakpoints are still inserted (because
nowadays GDB doesn't remove breakpoints while handling internal
events), and that recreates breakpoint locations, which likewise
forces breakpoint reinsertion and Zx packet resends...
That is a lot of bogus Zx duplication that should possibly be
addressed on the GDB side. GDB resends Zx packets because the way to
change the target-side condition, is to resend the breakpoint to the
server with the new condition. (That's an option in the packet: e.g.,
"Z1,410943,1;X3,220027" for "hbreak main if 0". The packets in the
examples above are shorter because the breakpoints don't have
conditions attached). GDB doesn't remove the breakpoint first before
reinserting it because that'd be bad for non-stop, as it'd open a
window where the inferior could miss the breakpoint. The conditions
actually haven't changed between the resends, but GDB isn't smart
enough to realize that.
(TBC, if the target doesn't support target-side conditions, then GDB
doesn't trigger these resends (init_bp_location calls
mark_breakpoint_location_modified, and that does nothing if condition
evaluation is on the host side. The resends are caused by the
'loc->condition_changed = condition_modified.' line.)
But, even if GDB was made smarter, GDBserver should really still
handle the resends anyway. So target-side conditions also aren't
really to blame. The documentation of the Z/z packets says:
"To avoid potential problems with duplicate packets, the operations
should be implemented in an idempotent way."
As such, we may want to fix GDB, but we should definitely fix
GDBserver. The fix is a prerequisite for target-side conditions on
hardware breakpoints anyway (and while at it, on watchpoints too).
GDBserver indeed already treats duplicate Z0 packets in an idempotent
way. mem-break.c has the concept of high-level and low-level
breakpoints, somewhat similar to GDB's split of breakpoints vs
breakpoint locations, and keeps track of multiple breakpoints
referencing the same address/location, for the case of an internal
GDBserver breakpoint or a tracepoint being set at the same address as
a GDB breakpoint. But, it only allows GDB to ever contribute one
reference to a software breakpoint location. IOW, if gdbserver sees a
Z0 packet for the same address where it already had a GDB breakpoint
set, then GDBserver won't create another high-level GDB breakpoint.
However, mem-break.c only tracks GDB Z0 breakpoints. The same logic
should apply to all kinds of Zx packets. Currently, gdbserver passes
down each duplicate Zx (other than Z0) request directly to the
target->insert_point routine. The x86 watchpoint support itself
refcounts watchpoint / hw breakpoint requests, to handle overlapping
watchpoints, and save debug registers. But that code doesn't (and
really shouldn't) handle the duplicate requests, assuming that for
each insert there will be a corresponding remove.
So the fix is to generalize mem-break.c to track all kinds of Zx
breakpoints, and filter out duplicates. As mentioned, this ends up
adding support for target-side conditions on hardware breakpoints and
watchpoints too (though GDB itself doesn't support the latter yet).
Probably the least obvious change in the patch is that it kind of
turns the breakpoint insert/remove APIs inside out. Before, the
target methods were only called for GDB breakpoints. The internal
breakpoint set/delete methods inserted memory breakpoints directly
bypassing the insert/remove target methods. That's not good when the
target should use a debug API to set software breakpoints, instead of
relying on GDBserver patching memory with breakpoint instructions, as
is the case of NTO.
Now removal/insertion of all kinds of breakpoints/watchpoints, either
internal, or from GDB, always go through the target methods. The
insert_point/remove_point methods no longer get passed a Z packet
type, but an internal/raw breakpoint type. They're also passed a
pointer to the raw breakpoint itself (note that's still opaque outside
mem-break.c), so that insert_memory_breakpoint /
remove_memory_breakpoint have access to the breakpoint's shadow
buffer. I first tried passing down a new structure based on GDB's
"struct bp_target_info" (actually with that name exactly), but then
decided against it as unnecessary complication.
As software/memory breakpoints work by poking at memory, when setting
a GDB Z0 breakpoint (but not internal breakpoints, as those can assume
the conditions are already right), we need to tell the target to
prepare to access memory (which on Linux means stop threads). If that
operation fails, we need to return error to GDB. Seeing an error, if
this is the first breakpoint of that type that GDB tries to insert,
GDB would then assume the breakpoint type is supported, but it may
actually not be. So we need to check whether the type is supported at
all before preparing to access memory. And to solve that, the patch
adds a new target->supports_z_point_type method that is called before
actually trying to insert the breakpoint.
Other than that, hopefully the change is more or less obvious.
New test added that exercises the hbreak2.exp regression in a more
direct way, without relying on a breakpoint re-set happening before
main is reached.

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.

GDBserver currently hangs forever in waitpid if the leader thread
exits before other threads, or if all resumed threads exit - e.g.,
next over a thread exit with sched-locking on. This is exposed by
leader-exit.exp. leader-exit.exp is part of a series of tests for a
set of related problems. See
<http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-10/msg00704.html>:
"
To recap, on the Linux kernel, ptrace/waitpid don't allow reaping the
leader thread until all other threads in the group are reaped. When
the leader exits, it goes zombie, but waitpid will not return an exit
status until the other threads are gone. This is presently exercised
by the gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp test. The fix for that test, in
linux-nat.c:wait_lwp, handles the case where we see the leader gone
when we're stopping all threads to report an event to some other
thread to the core.

The gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-*.exp tests are skipped because GDBserver

fixes the related issues.
I'm leaving modeling TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED in the RSP for a
separate pass.
(BTW, in case of error in response to a vCont, it would be better for
GDB to query the target for the current thread, or re-select one,
instead of assuming current inferior_ptid is still the selected
thread.)
This implementation is a little different from GDB's, because I'm
avoiding bringing in more of this broken use of waitpid(PID) into
GDBserver. Specifically, this avoids waitpid(PID) when stopping all
threads. There's really no need for wait_for_sigstop to wait for each
LWP in turn. Instead, with some refactoring, we make it reuse
linux_wait_for_event.
