runtime: no SIGWINCH to pgrp while GDB is running
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When run with stdin == /dev/null and stdout/stderr == pipe (i.e., as
os/exec.Command.CombinedOutput), GDB suffers from a bug
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26056) that causes
SIGSEGV when sent a SIGWINCH signal.

Package runtime tests TestEINTR and TestSignalDuringExec both send
SIGWINCH signals to the entire process group, thus including GDB if one
of the GDB tests is running in parallel.

TestEINTR only intends its signals for the current process, so it is
changed to do so. TestSignalDuringExec, really does want its signals to
go to children. However, it does not call t.Parallel(), so it won't run
at the same time as GDB tests.

This is a simple fix, but GDB is vulnerable, so we must be careful not
to add new parallel tests that send SIGWINCH to the entire process
group.

Fixes #39021
