This commit fixes detaching on Linux when some thread exits the whole
thread group (process) just while we're detaching.
On Linux, a ptracer must detach from each LWP individually, with
PTRACE_DETACH. Since PTRACE_DETACH sets the thread running free, if
one of the already-detached threads causes the whole thread group to
exit (e.g., simply calls exit), the kernel force-kills the other
threads in the group, making them zombie, just as we're still
detaching them. Since PTRACE_DETACH against a zombie thread fails
with ESRCH, and gdb/gdbserver are not expecting this, the detach fails
with an error like: "Can't detach process: No such process.".
This patch detects this detach failure as normal, and instead of
erroring out, reaps the now-dead thread.
New test included, that exercises several different scenarios that
cause GDB/GDBserver to error out when it should not.
Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux with {unix, native-gdbserver,
native-extended-gdbserver}
Note: without the previous fix, the "single-process + continue"
variant of the new test would fail with:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: switch to parent
continue
Continuing.
Warning:
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 3.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.
Command aborted.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: continue
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2016-07-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Antoine Tremblay <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com>
* linux-low.c: Change interface to take the target lwp_info
pointer directly and return void. Handle detaching from a zombie
thread.
(linux_detach_lwp_callback): New function.
(linux_detach): Detach from the leader thread after detaching from
the clone threads.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-07-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Antoine Tremblay <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com>
* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_detach_success): New function, factored
out from ...
(inf_ptrace_detach): ... here.
* inf-ptrace.h (inf_ptrace_detach_success): New declaration.
* linux-nat.c (get_pending_status): Rename to ...
(get_detach_signal): ... this, and return a host signal instead of
filling in a wait status.
(detach_one_lwp): New function, factored out from detach_callback
and adjusted to handle detaching from a zombie thread.
(detach_callback): Skip the leader thread.
(linux_nat_detach): No longer defer to inf_ptrace_detach to detach
the leader thread, nor build a signal string to pass down.
Instead, use target_announce_detach, detach_one_lwp and
inf_ptrace_detach_success.
