Make sure unit-like structs work properly

Commit d7e7473 ("Eliminate make_cleanup_ui_file_delete / make ui_file a class hierarchy") introduced a problem when using "layout regs", that leads gdb to crash when issuing: ./gdb ./a.out -ex 'layout regs' -ex start From the backtrace, it's caused by this 'delete' on tui_restore_gdbout(): (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff6b962b2 in free () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x000000000059fa47 in tui_restore_gdbout (ui=0x22997b0) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:714 #2 0x0000000000619996 in do_my_cleanups (pmy_chain=pmy_chain@entry=0x1e08320 <cleanup_chain>, old_chain=old_chain@entry=0x235b4b0) at ../../gdb/common/cleanups.c:154 #3 0x0000000000619b1d in do_cleanups (old_chain=old_chain@entry=0x235b4b0) at ../../gdb/common/cleanups.c:176 #4 0x000000000059fb0d in tui_register_format (frame=frame@entry=0x22564e0, regnum=regnum@entry=0) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:747 #5 0x000000000059ffeb in tui_get_register (data=0x2434d18, changedp=0x0, regnum=0, frame=0x22564e0) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:768 #6 tui_show_register_group (refresh_values_only=<optimized out>, frame=0x22564e0, group=0x1e09250 <general_group>) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:287 #7 tui_show_registers (group=0x1e09250 <general_group>) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:156 #8 0x00000000005a07cf in tui_check_register_values (frame=frame@entry=0x22564e0) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:496 #9 0x00000000005a3e65 in tui_check_data_values (frame=frame@entry=0x22564e0) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-windata.c:232 #10 0x000000000059cf65 in tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information (registers_too_p=1) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-hooks.c:156 #11 0x00000000006d5c05 in generic_observer_notify (args=0x7fffffffdbe0, subject=<optimized out>) at ../../gdb/observer.c:167 #12 observer_notify_normal_stop (bs=<optimized out>, print_frame=print_frame@entry=1) at ./observer.inc:61 #13 0x00000000006a6409 in normal_stop () at ../../gdb/infrun.c:8364 #14 0x00000000006af8f5 in fetch_inferior_event (client_data=<optimized out>) at ../../gdb/infrun.c:3990 #15 0x000000000066f0fd in gdb_wait_for_event (block=block@entry=0) at ../../gdb/event-loop.c:859 #16 0x000000000066f237 in gdb_do_one_event () at ../../gdb/event-loop.c:322 #17 0x000000000066f386 in gdb_do_one_event () at ../../gdb/event-loop.c:353 #18 0x00000000007411bc in wait_sync_command_done () at ../../gdb/top.c:570 #19 0x0000000000741426 in maybe_wait_sync_command_done (was_sync=0) at ../../gdb/top.c:587 #20 execute_command (p=<optimized out>, p@entry=0x7fffffffe43a "start", from_tty=from_tty@entry=1) at ../../gdb/top.c:676 #21 0x00000000006c2048 in catch_command_errors (command=0x741200 <execute_command(char*, int)>, arg=0x7fffffffe43a "start", from_tty=1) at ../../gdb/main.c:376 #22 0x00000000006c2b60 in captured_main_1 (context=0x7fffffffde70) at ../../gdb/main.c:1119 #23 captured_main (data=0x7fffffffde70) at ../../gdb/main.c:1140 #24 gdb_main (args=args@entry=0x7fffffffdf90) at ../../gdb/main.c:1158 #25 0x0000000000408cf5 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at ../../gdb/gdb.c:32 (gdb) f 1 #1 0x000000000059fa47 in tui_restore_gdbout (ui=0x22997b0) at ../../gdb/tui/tui-regs.c:714 714 delete gdb_stdout; The problem is simply that the commit mentioned above made the ui_file that gdb_stdout is temporarily set to be a stack-allocated string_file, while before it used to be a heap-allocated ui_file. The fix is simply to remove the now-incorrect delete. New test included, which exercises enabling all TUI layouts, with and without execution. (This particular crash only triggers with execution.) gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * tui/tui-regs.c (tui_restore_gdbout): Don't delete gdb_stdout. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2017-03-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/tui-layout.c: New file. * gdb.base/tui-layout.exp: New file.

If you have a breakpoint command that re-resumes the target, like: break foo commands > c > end and then let the inferior run, hitting the breakpoint, and then press Ctrl-C at just the right time, between GDB processing the stop at "foo", and re-resuming the target, you'll hit the QUIT call in infrun.c:resume.

Something like this: thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:107 107 usleep (SLEEP); /* Loop increment. */ Quit (gdb) c Continuing. ** nothing happens, time passes..., press ctrl-c again ** ^CQuit (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame 1 Thread 1462.1462 "threads" (running) * 2 Thread 1462.1466 "threads" (running) 3 Thread 1462.1465 "function0" (running) (gdb) c Cannot execute this command while the selected thread is running. (gdb) The first "Quit" above is thrown from within "resume", and cancels run control while GDB is in the middle of stepping over a breakpoint. with step_over_info_valid_p() true. The next "c" didn't actually resume anything, because GDB throught that the step-over was still in progress. It wasn't, because the thread that was supposed to be stepping over the breakpoint wasn't actually resumed. So at this point, we press Ctrl-C again, and this time, the default quit handler is called directly from the event loop (event-top.c:default_quit_handler -> quit()), because gdb was left owning the terminal (because the previous resume was cancelled before we reach target_resume -> target_terminal::inferior()). Note that the exception called from within resume ends up calling normal_stop via resume_cleanups. That's very borked though, because normal_stop is going to re-handle whatever was the last reported event, possibly even re-running a hook stop... I think that the only sane way to safely cancel the run control state machinery is to push an event via handle_inferior_event like all other events. The fix here does two things, and either alone would fix the problem at hand: #1 - passes the terminal to the inferior earlier, so that any QUIT call from the point we declare the target as running goes to the inferior directly, protecting run control from unsafe QUIT calls. #2 - gets rid of this QUIT call in resume and of its related unsafe resume_cleanups. Aboout #2, the comment describing resume says: /* Resume the inferior, but allow a QUIT. This is useful if the user wants to interrupt some lengthy single-stepping operation (for child processes, the SIGINT goes to the inferior, and so we get a SIGINT random_signal, but for remote debugging and perhaps other targets, that's not true). but that's a really old comment that predates a lot of fixes to Ctrl-C handling throughout both GDB core and the remote target, that made sure that a Ctrl-C isn't ever lost. In any case, if some target depended on this, a much better fix would be to make the target return a SIGINT stop out of target_wait the next time that is called. This was exposed by the new gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp testcase added later in the series. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-16 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (resume_cleanups): Delete. (resume): No longer install a resume_cleanups cleanup nor call QUIT. (proceed): Pass the terminal to the inferior. (keep_going_pass_signal): No longer install a resume_cleanups cleanup.

../../src/gdb/event-top.c:774 The problem is that in `process_die` (frames 14 and 16) we create a `process_die_scope` object, that takes a copy of the `struct dwarf2_cu *` passed into the frame. The destructor of the `process_die_scope` dereferences the stored pointer. This wouldn't be an issue, except... ... in dw2_do_instantiate_symtab (frame 19) a clean up was registered that clears the dwarf2_queue in case of an error. Part of this clean up involves deleting the `struct dwarf2_cu`s referenced from the queue.. The problem then, is that cleanups are processed at the site of the throw, while, class destructors are invoked as we unwind their frame. The result is that we process the frame 19 cleanup (and delete the struct dwarf2_cu) before we process the destructors in frames 14 and 16. When we do get back to frames 14 and 16 the objects being references have already been deleted. The solution is to remove the cleanup from dw2_do_instantiate_symtab, and instead use a destructor to release the dwarf2_queue instead. With this patch in place, the valgrind errors are now resolved. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_release_queue): Delete function, move body into... (class dwarf2_queue_guard): ...the destructor of this new class. (dw2_do_instantiate_symtab): Create instance of the new class dwarf2_queue_guard, remove cleanup.

Errors that happen in nested sourced files (when a sourced file sources another file) lead to a wrong error message, or use-after-free. For example, if I put this in "a.gdb": command_that_doesnt_exist and this in "b.gdb": source a.gdb and try to "source b.gdb" in GDB, the result may look like this: (gdb) source b.gdb b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file: _that_doesnt_exist:1: Error in sourced command file: Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist". Try "help". Notice the wrong file name where "a.gdb" should be. The exact result may differ, depending on the feelings of the memory allocator. What happens is: - The "source a.gdb" command is saved by command_line_append_input_line in command_line_input's static buffer. - Since we are sourcing a file, the script_from_file function stores the script name (a.gdb) in the source_file_name global. However, it doesn't do a copy, it just saves a pointer to command_line_input's static buffer. - The "command_that_doesnt_exist" command is saved by command_line_append_input_line in command_line_input's static buffer. Depending on what xrealloc does, source_file_name may now point to freed memory, or at the minimum the data it was pointing to was overwritten. - When the error is handled in script_from_file, we dererence source_file_name to print the name of the file in which the error occured. To fix it, I made source_file_name an std::string, so that keeps a copy of the file name instead of pointing to a buffer with a too small lifetime. With this patch, the expected filename is printed, and no use-after-free occurs: (gdb) source b.gdb b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file: a.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file: Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist". Try "help". I passed explicit template parameters to make_scoped_restore (<std::string, const std::string &>), so that the second parameter is passed by reference and avoid a copy. It was not as obvious as I first thought to change gdb.base/source.exp to test this, because source commands inside sourced files are interpreted relative to GDB's current working directory, not the directory of the currently sourced file. As a workaround, I moved the snippet that tests errors after the snippet that adds the source directory to the search path. This way, the "source source-error-1.gdb" line in source-error.exp manages to find the file. For reference, here is what ASAN reports when use-after-free occurs: (gdb) source b.gdb ================================================================= ==18498==ERROR: AddressSanitizer:

Commit ab42892 ("Fix vertical scrolling of TUI source window") introduced a use-after-free in source_cache::get_source_lines. At the beginning of the method, we get the fullname of the symtab: const char *fullname = symtab_to_fullname (s); fullname points to the string owned by the symtab (s.fullname). When we later do scoped_fd desc = open_source_file (s); s.fullname gets reallocated (even though the string contents may not change). The fullname local variable now points to freed memory.

This error happens as follows. The function find_partial_die has a cu argument, but returns a pdi which may or may not be from that cu: ... /* Find a partial DIE at OFFSET, which may or may not be in CU, except in the case of .debug_types DIEs which do not reference outside their CU (they do however referencing other types via DW_FORM_ref_sig8). */ static struct partial_die_info * find_partial_die (sect_offset sect_off, int offset_in_dwz, struct dwarf2_cu *cu) ... So the pdi returned by find_partial_die here in partial_die_parent_scope may be from another cu: ... partial_die_parent_scope (struct partial_die_info *pdi, struct dwarf2_cu *cu) { const char *grandparent_scope; struct partial_die_info *parent, *real_pdi; /* We need to look at our parent DIE; if we have a DW_AT_specification, then this means the parent of the specification DIE. */ real_pdi = pdi; while (real_pdi->has_specification) real_pdi = find_partial_die (real_pdi->spec_offset, real_pdi->spec_is_dwz, cu); parent = real_pdi->die_parent; ... in which case both real_pdi and parent will be not from cu, but from another one, say cu2. Subsequently, cu's comp_unit_obstack is used to set parent->scope: ... parent->scope = typename_concat (&cu->comp_unit_obstack, grandparent_scope, parent->name, 0, cu); ... So, we use cu->comp_unit_obstack to assign a value to the scope field of a pdi belonging to cu2, and when cu is deleted, the scope field points to a freed value. Fix this by making find_partial_die return the cu corresponding to the returned pdi, and handling this at the call sites.

There has been some breakage for aarch64-linux, arm-linux and s390-linux in terms of inline frame unwinding. There may be other targets, but these are the ones i'm aware of. The following testcases started to show numerous failures and trigger internal errors in GDB after commit 1009d92, "Find tailcall frames before inline frames". gdb.opt/inline-break.exp gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp gdb.python/py-frame-inline.exp gdb.reverse/insn-reverse.exp The internal errors were of this kind: binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:579: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `fi->level == 0' failed. After a lengthy investigation to try and find the cause of these assertions, it seems we're dealing with some fragile/poorly documented code to handle inline frames and we are attempting to unwind from this fragile section of code. Before commit 1009d92, the tailcall sniffer was invoked from dwarf2_frame_prev_register. By the time we invoke the dwarf2_frame_prev_register function, we've probably already calculated the frame id (via compute_frame_id). After said commit, the call to dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first was moved to dwarf2_frame_cache. This is very early in a frame creation process, and we're still calculating the frame ID (so compute_frame_id is in the call stack). This would be fine for regular frames, but the above testcases all deal with some inline frames. The particularity of inline frames is that their frame ID's depend on the previous frame's ID, and the previous frame's ID relies in the inline frame's registers. So it is a bit of a messy situation. We have comments in various parts of the code warning about some of these particularities. In the case of dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first, we attempt to unwind the PC, which goes through various functions until we eventually invoke frame_unwind_got_register. This function will eventually attempt to create a lazy value for a particular register, and this lazy value will require a valid frame ID. Since the inline frame doesn't have a valid frame ID yet (remember we're still calculating the previous frame's ID so we can tell what the inline frame ID is) we will call compute_frame_id for the inline frame (level 0). We'll eventually hit the assertion above, inside get_frame_id: -- /* If we haven't computed the frame id yet, then it must be that this is the current frame. Compute it now, and stash the result. The IDs of other frames are computed as soon as they're created, in order to detect cycles.

…, part 1 Running the testsuite against an Asan-enabled build of GDB makes gdb.base/multi-target.exp expose this bug. scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor calls get_frame_id to record the selected frame's ID to restore later. If the frame ID hasn't been computed yet, it will be computed on the spot, and that will usually require accessing the target's memory and registers, which requires remote accesses. If the remote connection closes while we're computing the frame ID, the remote target exits its inferiors, unpushes itself, and throws a TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error. If that happens, GDB can currently crash, here: > ==18555==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x621004670aa8 at pc 0x0000007ab125 bp 0x7ffdecaecd20 sp 0x7ffdecaecd10 > READ of size 4 at 0x621004670aa8 thread T0 > #0 0x7ab124 in dwarf2_frame_this_id src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame.c:1228 > #1 0x983ec5 in compute_frame_id src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:550 > #2 0x9841ee in get_frame_id(frame_info*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:582 > #3 0x1093faa in scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread() src/binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:1462 > #4 0xaee5ba in fetch_inferior_event(void*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3968 > #5 0xaa990b in inferior_event_handler(inferior_event_type, void*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inf-loop.c:43 > #6 0xea61b6 in remote_async_serial_handler src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:14161 > #7 0xefca8a in run_async_handler_and_reschedule src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:137 > #8 0xefcd23 in fd_event src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:188 > #9 0x15a7416 in handle_file_event src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:548 > #10 0x15a7c36 in gdb_wait_for_event src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:673 > #11 0x15a5dbb in gdb_do_one_event() src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:215 > #12 0xbfe62d in start_event_loop src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:356 > #13 0xbfe935 in captured_command_loop src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:416 > #14 0xc01d39 in captured_main src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1253 > #15 0xc01dc9 in gdb_main(captured_main_args*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1268 > #16 0x414ddd in main src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 > #17 0x7f590110b82f in __libc_start_main ../csu/libc-start.c:291 > #18 0x414bd8 in _start (build/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb+0x414bd8) What happens is that above, we're in dwarf2_frame_this_id, just after the dwarf2_frame_cache call.

The problem is that the multi-target commit added a scoped_restore_current_thread to remove_target_sections (frame #7 above). scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor fetches the selected frame's frame id. If the frame had not had its frame id computed yet, it is computed then (frame #4 above). Because it has been determined earlier that the frame's unwinder is the DWARF unwinder, we end up here: static struct dwarf2_frame_cache * dwarf2_frame_cache (struct frame_info *this_frame, void **this_cache) { ... /* Find the correct FDE. */ fde = dwarf2_frame_find_fde (&pc1, &cache->per_objfile); gdb_assert (fde != NULL); And, that assertion fails. The assertion is reasonable, because the DWARF unwinder only claims the frame if it managed to find the FDE earlier (in dwarf2_frame_sniffer). (unix/-m32 is thus really a red herring here -- it's just that on x86_64 -m64, the frame is not claimed by the DWARF unwinder.) The reason the assertion is failing, is because the objfile that contains the FDE has been removed from the objfiles list already when we get here (frame #22 above). This suggests that the fix should be to invalidate DWARF frames when their objfile is removed. Or to keep it simple and safe, invalidate the frame cache when an objfile is removed. That is what this commit does. OOC, I checked why is it that when you unload a file with plain "(gdb) file", we don't hit the assertion. It must be because we're already flushing the frame cache somewhere else in that case. And indeed, we flush the frame cache here: (gdb) bt #0 reinit_frame_cache () at src/gdb/frame.c:1857 #1 0x0000555555ad1ad6 in registers_changed_ptid (target=0x0, ptid=...) at src/gdb/regcache.c:470 #2 0x0000555555ad1b58 in registers_changed () at src/gdb/regcache.c:485 #3 0x00005555558d095e in set_target_gdbarch (new_gdbarch=0x555556d5f5b0) at src/gdb/gdbarch.c:5528 #4 0x0000555555677175 in set_gdbarch_from_file (abfd=0x0) at src/gdb/arch-utils.c:601 #5 0x0000555555897c6b in exec_file_attach (filename=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/exec.c:409 #6 0x000055555589852d in exec_file_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/exec.c:571 #7 0x00005555558985a1 in file_command (arg=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/exec.c:583 #8 0x000055555572b55f in do_const_cfunc (c=0x55555672e200, args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:95 #9 0x000055555572f3d3 in cmd_func (cmd=0x55555672e200, args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:2181 #10 0x0000555555be1ecc in execute_command (p=0x555556327804 "", from_tty=1) at src/gdb/top.c:668 #11 0x0000555555895427 in command_handler (command=0x555556327800 "file") at src/gdb/event-top.c:588 #12 0x00005555558958af in command_line_handler (rl=...) at src/gdb/event-top.c:773 #13 0x0000555555894b3e in gdb_rl_callback_handler (rl=0x55555a09e240 "file") at src/gdb/event-top.c:219 #14 0x0000555555ccfeec in rl_callback_read_char () at src/readline/readline/callback.c:281 #15 0x000055555589495a in gdb_rl_callback_read_char_wrapper_noexcept () at src/gdb/event-top.c:177 #16 0x0000555555894a08 in gdb_rl_callback_read_char_wrapper (client_data=0x555556327520) at src/gdb/event-top.c:194 #17 0x00005555558952a5 in stdin_event_handler (error=0, client_data=0x555556327520) at src/gdb/event-top.c:516 #18 0x0000555555e027d6 in handle_file_event (file_ptr=0x555558d20840, ready_mask=1) at src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:548 #19 0x0000555555e02d88 in gdb_wait_for_event (block=1) at src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:673 #20 0x0000555555e01c42 in gdb_do_one_event () at src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:215 #21 0x00005555559c47c2 in start_event_loop () at src/gdb/main.c:356 #22 0x00005555559c490d in captured_command_loop () at src/gdb/main.c:416 #23 0x00005555559c6217 in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffdc00) at src/gdb/main.c:1253 #24 0x00005555559c6289 in gdb_main (args=0x7fffffffdc00) at src/gdb/main.c:1268 #25 0x0000555555621756 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffdd18) at src/gdb/gdb.c:32 gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/26336 * progspace.c (program_space::remove_objfile): Invalidate the frame cache.

I'm dealing these days with a class of bugs that involve trying to get a certain frame's id while we are in the process of computing it. In other words, compute_frame_id being called for a frame, eventually calling get_frame_id for that same frame. I don't think this is ever supposed to happen, as that creates a cyclic dependency. Usually, these problems cause some failure down the line. I'm proposing with this patch to catch them as early as possible, as soon as the situation described above happens. I think that helps because the failed assertion will be closer to the root of the problem. To do so, the patch changes the frame_info::this_id::p flag from a boolean (is the frame id computed or not) to a tri-state: - the frame id is not computed - the frame id is being computed - the frame id is computed Then, we can properly assert that get_frame_id doesn't get called for a frame whose id is being computed. To illustrate how that can help, let's imagine we apply the following change to frame_unwind_got_optimized: --- a/gdb/frame-unwind.c +++ b/gdb/frame-unwind.c @@ -260,8 +260,7 @@ frame_unwind_got_optimized (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum) mark_value_bytes_optimized_out (val, 0, TYPE_LENGTH (type)); VALUE_LVAL (val) = lval_register; VALUE_REGNUM (val) = regnum; - VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) - = get_frame_id (get_next_frame_sentinel_okay (frame)); + VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) = get_frame_id (frame); return val; } ... and run the following command, which leads to a failed assertion (you need to run the corresponding test to generate the binary first): $ ./gdb -q -nx testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-undefined-ret-addr/dw2-undefined-ret-addr -ex "b stop_frame" -ex r Without this patch applied, we catch the issue indirectly, when the top-level get_frame_id tries to stash the frame: /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:593: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `stashed' failed. ... #9 0x0000000001af1c3a in internal_error (file=0x1cea060 "/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c", line=593, fmt=0x1ce9f80 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:55 #10 0x0000000000e9b413 in get_frame_id (fi=0x6210005105e0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:593 #11 0x0000000000e99e35 in scoped_restore_selected_frame::scoped_restore_selected_frame (this=0x7fff1d8b9760) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:308 #12 0x000000000149a261 in print_frame_args (fp_opts=..., func=0x6210000dd7d0, frame=0x6210005105e0, num=-1, stream=0x60300008a580) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:750 #13 0x000000000149d938 in print_frame (fp_opts=..., frame=0x6210005105e0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, print_args=1, sal=...) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1394 #14 0x000000000149c0c8 in print_frame_info (fp_opts=..., frame=0x6210005105e0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, print_args=1, set_current_sal=1) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1119 #15 0x0000000001498100 in print_stack_frame (frame=0x6210005105e0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, set_current_sal=1) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:366 #16 0x00000000010234b7 in print_stop_location (ws=0x7fff1d8ba1f0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:8366 #17 0x000000000102362d in print_stop_event (uiout=0x607000018660, displays=true) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:8382 ...

TLDR: frame_unwind_got_optimized uses wrong frame id value, trying to fix it makes GDB sad, return not_lval value and don't use frame id value instead. Longer version: The `prev_register` method of the `frame_unwind` interface corresponds to asking the question: "where did this frame - passed as a parameter - save the value this register had in its caller frame?". When "this frame" did not save that register value (DW_CFA_undefined in DWARF), the implementation can use the `frame_unwind_got_optimized` function to create a struct value that represents the optimized out / not saved register. `frame_unwind_got_optimized` marks the value as fully optimized out, sets the lval field to lval_register and assigns the required data for lval_register: the next frame id and the register number. The problem is that it uses the frame id from the wrong frame (see below for in depth explanation). In practice, this is not problematic because the frame id is never used: the value is already not lazy (and is marked as optimized out), so the value is never fetched from the target. When trying to change it to put the right next frame id in the value, we bump into problems: computing the frame id for some frame requires unwinding some register, if that register is not saved / optimized out, we try to get the frame id that we are currently computing. This patch addresses the problem by changing `frame_unwind_got_optimized` to return a not_lval value instead. Doing so, we don't need to put a frame id, so we don't hit that problem. It may seem like an unnecessary change today, because it looks like we're fixing something that is not broken (from the user point of view). However, the bug becomes user visible with the following patches, where inline frames are involved. I put this change in its own patch to keep it logically separate. Let's now illustrate how we are putting the wrong frame id in the value returned by `frame_unwind_got_optimized`. Let's assume this stack: frame #0 frame #1 frame #2 frame #3 Let's suppose that we are calling `frame_unwind_register_value` with frame #2 as the "next_frame" parameter and some register number X as the regnum parameter. That is like asking the question "where did frame #2 save frame #3's value for register X". `frame_unwind_register_value` calls the frame unwinder's `prev_register` method, which in our case is `dwarf2_frame_prev_register`. Note that in `dwarf2_frame_prev_register`, the parameter is now called `this_frame`, but its value is still frame #2, and we are still looking for where frame #2 saved frame #3's value of register X. Let's now suppose that frame #2's CFI explicitly indicates that the register X is was not saved (DW_CFA_undefined). We go into `frame_unwind_got_optimized`. In `frame_unwind_got_optimized`, the intent is to create a value that represents register X in frame #3. An lval_register value requires that we specify the id of the _next_ frame, that is the frame from which we would need to unwind in order to get the value. Therefore, we would want to put the id of frame #2 in there. However, `frame_unwind_got_optimized` does: VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) = get_frame_id (get_next_frame_sentinel_okay (frame)); where `frame` is frame #2. The get_next_frame_sentinel_okay call returns frame #1, so we end up putting frame #1's id in the value. Let's now pretend that we try to "fix" it by placing the right frame id, in other words doing this change: --- a/gdb/frame-unwind.c +++ b/gdb/frame-unwind.c @@ -260,8 +260,7 @@ frame_unwind_got_optimized (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum) mark_value_bytes_optimized_out (val, 0, TYPE_LENGTH (type)); VALUE_LVAL (val) = lval_register; VALUE_REGNUM (val) = regnum; - VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) - = get_frame_id (get_next_frame_sentinel_okay (frame)); + VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) = get_frame_id (frame); return val; } This makes some tests fails, such as gdb.dwarf2/dw2-undefined-ret-addr.exp, like so: ... #9 0x0000557a8ab15a5d in internal_error (file=0x557a8b31ef80 "/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c", line=623, fmt=0x557a8b31efe0 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:55 #10 0x0000557a87f816d6 in get_frame_id (fi=0x62100034bde0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:623 #11 0x0000557a87f7cac7 in frame_unwind_got_optimized (frame=0x62100034bde0, regnum=16) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame-unwind.c:264 #12 0x0000557a87a71a76 in dwarf2_frame_prev_register (this_frame=0x62100034bde0, this_cache=0x62100034bdf8, regnum=16) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame.c:1267 #13 0x0000557a87f86621 in frame_unwind_register_value (next_frame=0x62100034bde0, regnum=16) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:1288 #14 0x0000557a87f855d5 in frame_register_unwind (next_frame=0x62100034bde0, regnum=16, optimizedp=0x7fff5f459070, unavailablep=0x7fff5f459080, lvalp=0x7fff5f4590a0, addrp=0x7fff5f4590b0, realnump=0x7fff5f459090, bufferp=0x7fff5f459150 "") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:1191 #15 0x0000557a87f860ef in frame_unwind_register (next_frame=0x62100034bde0, regnum=16, buf=0x7fff5f459150 "") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:1247 #16 0x0000557a881875f9 in i386_unwind_pc (gdbarch=0x621000190110, next_frame=0x62100034bde0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/i386-tdep.c:1971 #17 0x0000557a87fe58a5 in gdbarch_unwind_pc (gdbarch=0x621000190110, next_frame=0x62100034bde0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbarch.c:3062 #18 0x0000557a87a6267b in dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first (this_frame=0x62100034bde0, tailcall_cachep=0x62100034bee0, entry_cfa_sp_offsetp=0x7fff5f4593f0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame-tailcall.c:387 #19 0x0000557a87a70cdf in dwarf2_frame_cache (this_frame=0x62100034bde0, this_cache=0x62100034bdf8) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame.c:1198 #20 0x0000557a87a711c2 in dwarf2_frame_this_id (this_frame=0x62100034bde0, this_cache=0x62100034bdf8, this_id=0x62100034be40) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame.c:1226 #21 0x0000557a87f81167 in compute_frame_id (fi=0x62100034bde0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:587 #22 0x0000557a87f81803 in get_frame_id (fi=0x62100034bde0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:635 #23 0x0000557a87f7efef in scoped_restore_selected_frame::scoped_restore_selected_frame (this=0x7fff5f459920) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:320 #24 0x0000557a891488ae in print_frame_args (fp_opts=..., func=0x621000183b90, frame=0x62100034bde0, num=-1, stream=0x6030000caa20) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:750 #25 0x0000557a8914e87a in print_frame (fp_opts=..., frame=0x62100034bde0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, print_args=1, sal=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1394 #26 0x0000557a8914c2ae in print_frame_info (fp_opts=..., frame=0x62100034bde0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, print_args=1, set_current_sal=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1119 ... We end up calling get_frame_id (in the hunk above, frame #10) while we are computing it (frame #21), and that's not good. Now, the question is how do we fix this. I suggest making the unwinder return a not_lval value in this case. The reason why we return an lval_register here is to make sure that this is printed as "not saved" and not "optimized out" down the line. See these two commits: 1. 901461f ("Print registers not saved in the frame as "<not saved>" instead of "<optimized out>"."). 2. 6bd273a ("Make "set debug frame 1" output print <not saved> instead of <optimized out>.") The current design (introduced by the first commit) is to check the value's lval to choose which one to print (see val_print_optimized_out). Making the unwinder return not_lval instead of lval_register doesn't break "not saved" when doing "print $rax" or "info registers", because value_fetch_lazy_register only consumes the contents and optimized-out property from the value the unwinder returned. The value being un-lazified stays an lval_register. I believe that this is a correct technical solution (and not just papering over the problem), because what we expect of unwinders is to tell us where a given register's value is saved. If the value is saved in memory, -> lval_memory. If the value is saved in some other register of the next frame, -> lval_register. If the value is not saved, it doesn't really make sense to return an lval_register value. not_lval would be more appropriate. If the code then wants to represent an optimized out register value (like value_fetch_lazy_register does), then it's a separate concern which shouldn't involve the unwinder. This change breaks the output of "set debug frame 1" though (introduced by the second commit), since that logging statement consumes the return value of the unwinder directly. To keep the correct behavior, just make `frame_unwind_register_value` call `val_print_not_saved` directly, instead of `val_print_optimized_out`. This is fine because we know in this context that we are always talking about a register value, and that we want to show "not saved" for those. I augmented the gdb.dwarf2/dw2-reg-undefined.exp test case to test some cases I stumbled on while working on this, which I think are not tested anywhere: - the "set debug frame 1" debug output mentioned above. It's just debug output, but if we want to make sure it doesn't change, it should be tested - printing not-saved register values from the history (should print not saved) - copying a not-saved register value in a convenience variable. In this case, we expect that printing the convenience variable shows "optimized out", because we copied the value, not the property of where the value came from. gdb/ChangeLog: * frame-unwind.c (frame_unwind_got_optimized): Don't set regnum/frame in value. Call allocate_value_lazy. * frame.c (frame_unwind_register_value): Use val_print_not_saved. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-reg-undefined.exp: Test "set debug frame 1" output, printing a "not saved" value from history and printing a convenience variable created from a "not saved" value.

Before the commit to make scoped_restore_current_thread's cdtors exception free, scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor would call get_frame_id on the selected frame, and we use scoped_restore_current_thread pervasively. That had the side effect of stashing the frame id of frame #0 before reaching the path shown in the backtrace. I.e., the frame id of frame #0 happened to be stashed before the frame id of frame #1. But that was by chance, not by design. This commit: commit 256ae5d Author: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com> AuthorDate: Mon Oct 31 12:47:42 2016 -0700 Stash frame id of current frame before stashing frame id for previous frame Fixed a similar problem, by making sure get_prev_frame computes the frame id of the current frame before unwinding the previous frame, so that the cycle detection works properly. That fix misses the scenario we're now running against, because if you notice, the backtrace above shows that frame #4 calls get_prev_frame_always, not get_prev_frame. I.e., nothing is calling get_frame_id on the current frame. The fix here is to move Kevin's fix down from get_prev_frame to get_prev_frame_always. Or actually, a bit further down to get_prev_frame_always_1 -- note that inline_frame_this_id calls get_prev_frame_always, so we need to be careful to avoid recursion in that scenario. gdb/ChangeLog: * frame.c (get_prev_frame): Move get_frame_id call from here ...

argv=0x7feffe3d548) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 There is a target_read_memory call in sparc_supply_rwindow, whose return value is not checked. That call fails, because inferior_ptid does not contain a valid ptid, and uninitialized buffer contents is used. Ultimately it results in a corrupt stop_pc. target_ops::fetch_registers can be (and should remain, in my opinion) independent of inferior_ptid, because the ptid of the thread from which to fetch registers can be obtained from the regcache. In other words, implementations of target_ops::fetch_registers should not rely on inferior_ptid having a sensible value on entry. The sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers case is special, because it calls a target method that is dependent on the inferior_ptid value (target_read_inferior, and ultimately target_ops::xfer_partial). So I would say it's the responsibility of sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers to set up inferior_ptid correctly prior to calling target_read_inferior. This patch makes sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers (and store_registers, since it works the same) temporarily set inferior_ptid. If we ever make target_ops::xfer_partial independent of inferior_ptid, setting inferior_ptid won't be necessary, we'll simply pass down the ptid as a parameter in some way. I chose to set/restore inferior_ptid in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, because I am not convinced that doing so in an inner location (in sparc_supply_rwindow for instance) would always be correct. We have access to the ptid in sparc_supply_rwindow (from the regcache), so we _could_ set inferior_ptid there. However, I don't want to just set inferior_ptid, as that would make it not desync'ed with `current_thread ()` and `current_inferior ()`. It's preferable to use switch_to_thread instead, as that switches all the global "current" stuff in a coherent way. But doing so requires a `thread_info *`, and getting a `thread_info *` from a ptid requires a `process_stratum_target *`. We could use `current_inferior()->process_target()` in sparc_supply_rwindow for this (using target_read_memory uses the current inferior's target stack anyway). However, sparc_supply_rwindow is also used in the context of BSD uthreads, where a thread stratum target defines threads. I presume the ptid in the regcache would be the ptid of the uthread, defined by the thread stratum target (bsd_uthread_target). Using `current_inferior()->process_target()` would look up a ptid defined by the thread stratum target using the process stratum target. I don't think it would give good results. So I prefer playing it safe and looking up the thread earlier, in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers. I added some assertions (in sparc_supply_rwindow and others) to verify that the regcache's ptid matches inferior_ptid. That verifies that the caller has properly set the correct global context. This would have caught (though a failed assertion) the current problem. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/27147 * sparc-nat.h (sparc_fetch_inferior_registers): Add process_stratum_target parameter, sparc_store_inferior_registers): update callers. * sparc-nat.c (sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, sparc_store_inferior_registers): Add process_stratum_target parameter.

The past commit d1e93af ("gdb: set current thread in sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (PR gdb/27147)") changed sparc_fetch_inferior_registers and sparc_store_inferior_registers to look up the thread corresponding to the regcache's ptid and make it the current thread. The reason being that down the call chain, some functions (like sparc_supply_rwindow) can do some memory reads or write, through target_read_memory/target_write_memory, and those rely on the current global context. There is one small problem with this approach: when debugging a multi-threaded program, the regcache for a new thread is created just before the corresponding thread_info is created. In fact, the regcache is created somewhere during the call to thread_from_lwp, which is responsible for creating the thread_info: #8 0x0000010000ab9968 in internal_error (file=0x10000bfca20 "/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c", line=1346, fmt=0x10000bfc918 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:55 #9 0x0000010000827f3c in switch_to_thread (thr=0x0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:1346 #10 0x0000010000753444 in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers (proc_target=0x10000fa8cb0 <the_sparc64_linux_nat_target>, regcache=0x10000ff03c0, regnum=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/sparc-nat.c:175 #11 0x000001000075b908 in sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers (this=0x10000fa8cb0 <the_sparc64_linux_nat_target>, regcache=0x10000ff03c0, regnum=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/sparc64-linux-nat.c:38 #12 0x00000100007fe6f4 in target_ops::fetch_registers (this=0x10000f7feb0 <the_thread_db_target>, arg0=0x10000ff03c0, arg1=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target-delegates.c:496 #13 0x00000100008162a0 in target_fetch_registers (regcache=0x10000ff03c0, regno=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:3287 #14 0x000001000060a4bc in ps_lgetregs (ph=0x10001264368, lwpid=458727, gregset=0x7feff97d388) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/proc-service.c:158 #15 0xffff800103e32420 in __td_ta_lookup_th_unique (ta_arg=0x100012d7080, lwpid=<optimized out>, th=0x7feff97d7c8) at td_ta_map_lwp2thr.c:119 #16 0xffff800103e32604 in td_ta_map_lwp2thr (ta_arg=0x100012d7080, lwpid=<optimized out>, th=0x7feff97d7c8) at td_ta_map_lwp2thr.c:207 #17 0x000001000051fee8 in thread_from_lwp (stopped=0x100011a3650, ptid=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-thread-db.c:415 #18 0x0000010000520150 in thread_db_notice_clone (parent=..., child=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-thread-db.c:446 #19 0x00000100005068a8 in linux_handle_extended_wait (lp=0x10001230700, status=4479) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-nat.c:1978 #20 0x000001000050a278 in linux_nat_filter_event (lwpid=458724, status=198015) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-nat.c:2913 #21 0x000001000050b818 in linux_nat_wait_1 (ptid=..., ourstatus=0x7feff97e8d0, target_options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-nat.c:3194 #22 0x000001000050ca4c in linux_nat_target::wait (this=0x10000fa8cb0 <the_sparc64_linux_nat_target>, ptid=..., ourstatus=0x7feff97e8d0, target_options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-nat.c:3432 #23 0x00000100005237ec in thread_db_target::wait (this=0x10000f7feb0 <the_thread_db_target>, ptid=..., ourstatus=0x7feff97e8d0, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/linux-thread-db.c:1379 #24 0x00000100007fa668 in target_wait (ptid=..., status=0x7feff97e8d0, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:2000 #25 0x00000100004adb0c in do_target_wait_1 (inf=0x10001173170, ptid=..., status=0x7feff97e8d0, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3464 #26 0x00000100004add48 in operator() (__closure=0x7feff97e658, inf=0x10001173170) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3527 #27 0x00000100004ae15c in do_target_wait (wait_ptid=..., ecs=0x7feff97e8a8, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3540 #28 0x00000100004af254 in fetch_inferior_event () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3880 #29 0x0000010000486ef8 in inferior_event_handler (event_type=INF_REG_EVENT) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inf-loop.c:42 The problem is that while sparc_fetch_inferior_registers runs and is asked to read the registers of a given ptid, there isn't a thread_info with that ptid yet. So, find_thread_ptid returns nullptr, and switch_to_thread gives an internal error. Fix this by only setting inferior_ptid, instead of the whole global context, as switch_to_thread does. This is sufficient for target_read_memory / target_write_memory to work down the line. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to pass the ptid down the whole call chain and to target_read_memory / target_write_memory, so that this setting of inferior_ptid would not be necessary. But this is not going to happen soon. This fixes running a multi-threaded program, which would hit the internal error show in the call stack above. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/27899 * sparc-nat.c (sparc_fetch_inferior_registers): Set inferior_ptid instead of using switch_to_thread.

… when attaching / handling a fork child When trying to attach to a pthread process on a Linux system with glibc 2.33, we get: $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -p 1472010 Attaching to process 1472010 [New LWP 1472013] [New LWP 1472014] [New LWP 1472015] Error while reading shared library symbols for /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0: Cannot find user-level thread for LWP 1472015: generic error 0x00007ffff6d3637f in poll () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) When attaching to a process (or handling a fork child, an operation very similar to attaching), GDB reads the shared library list from the process. For each shared library (if "set auto-solib-add" is on), it reads its symbols and calls the "new_objfile" observable. The libthread-db code monitors this observable, and if it sees an objfile named somewhat like "libpthread.so" go by, it tries to load libthread_db.so in the GDB process itself. libthread_db knows how to navigate libpthread's data structures to get information about the existing threads. To locate these data structures, libthread_db calls ps_pglobal_lookup (implemented in proc-service.c), passing in a symbol name and expecting an address in return. Before glibc 2.33, libthread_db always asked for symbols found in libpthread. There was no ordering problem: since we were always trying to load libthread_db in reaction to processing libpthread (and reading in its symbols) and libthread_db only asked symbols from libpthread, the requested symbols could always be found. Starting with glibc 2.33, libthread_db now asks for a symbol name that can be found in /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (_rtld_global). And the ordering in which GDB reads the shared libraries from the inferior when attaching is unfortunate, in that libpthread is processed before ld-linux. So when loading libthread_db in reaction to processing libpthread, and libthread_db requests the symbol that is from ld-linux, GDB is not yet able to supply it. That problematic symbol lookup happens in the thread_from_lwp function, when we call td_ta_map_lwp2thr_p, and an exception is thrown at this point: #0 0x00007ffff6681012 in __cxxabiv1::__cxa_throw

in main (argc=7, argv=0x7fffffffde88) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 Catching the exception at this point means that the thread_db_info object for this inferior will be left in place, despite the failure to load libthread_db. This means that there won't be further attempts at loading libthread_db, because thread_db_load will think that libthread_db is already loaded for this inferior and will always exit early. To fix this, add a try/catch around calling try_thread_db_load_1 in try_thread_db_load, such that if some exception is thrown while trying to load libthread_db, we reset / delete the thread_db_info for that inferior. That alone makes attach work fine again, because check_for_thread_db is called again in the thread_db_inferior_created observer (that happens after we learned about all shared libraries and their symbols), and libthread_db is successfully loaded then. When attaching, I think that the inferior_created observer is a good place to try to load libthread_db: it is called once everything has stabilized, when we learned about all shared libraries. The only problem then is that when we first try (and fail) to load libthread_db, in reaction to learning about libpthread, we show this warning: warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available. This is misleading, because we do succeed in loading it later. So when attaching, I think we shouldn't try to load libthread_db in reaction to the new_objfile events, we should wait until we have learned about all shared libraries (using the inferior_created observable). To do so, add an `in_initial_library_scan` flag to struct inferior. This flag is used to postpone loading libthread_db if we are attaching or handling a fork child. When debugging remotely with GDBserver, the same problem happens, except that the qSymbol mechanism (allowing the remote side to ask GDB for symbols values) is involved. The fix there is the same idea, we make GDB wait until all shared libraries and their symbols are known before sending out a qSymbol packet. This way, we never present the remote side a state where libpthread.so's symbols are known but ld-linux's symbols aren't. gdb/ChangeLog: * inferior.h (class inferior) <in_initial_library_scan>: New. * infcmd.c (post_create_inferior): Set in_initial_library_scan. * infrun.c (follow_fork_inferior): Likewise. * linux-thread-db.c (try_thread_db_load): Catch exception thrown by try_thread_db_load_1 (thread_db_load): Return early if in_initial_library_scan is set. * remote.c (remote_new_objfile): Return early if in_initial_library_scan is set.

the special *COM* section: (top-gdb) p section.name $1 = 0x55555a1bbe60 "*COM*" (top-gdb) p section $2 = (bfd_section *) 0x55555bbe4ac0 <_bfd_std_section> I'm not too sure what this section is for, but this is one of four special BFD sections that GDB puts after the regular sections in the objfile::sections and objfile::section_offsets lists. You can check gdb_bfd_section_index to see how they are handled. gdb_bfd_count_sections returns "+ 4" to account for those sections. The problem is that macho_symfile_offsets uses bfd_count_sections instead of gdb_bfd_count_sections when allocating the objfile::section_offsets vector. The vector will therefore contain, say, 13 elements instead of 17. When trying to access the section offset of the *COM* section, the first after the regular sections, we access section_offsets[13], which is out of bounds. Fix that by using gdb_bfd_count_sections instead of bfd_count_sections. I'm fairly confident that this is correct, as this is what default_symfile_offsets does.

GDB had opened remote shared libraries via the target: sysroot, so it tries closing them. GDBserver is tearing down already, so remote communication breaks down and we close the remote target and throw TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR. Note frame #14: #14 0x0000555555ae4730 in objfile::~objfile (this=0x555556515540, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:573 That's a dtor, thus noexcept. That's the reason for the std::terminate. Stepping back a bit, why do we still have open remote files if we've managed to detach already, and, we're debugging with "target remote"? The reason is that commit 408f668 makes detach_command hold a reference to the target, so the remote target won't be finally closed until frame #28 returns. It's closing the target that invalidates target file I/O handles. This commit fixes the issue by not relying on target_close to invalidate the target file I/O handles, instead invalidate them immediately in remote_unpush_target. So when GDB purges the solibs, and we end up in target_fileio_close (frame #7 above), there's nothing to do, and we don't try to talk with the remote target anymore. The regression isn't seen when testing with --target_board=native-gdbserver, because that does "set sysroot" to disable the "target:" sysroot, for test run speed reasons. So this commit adds a testcase that explicitly tests detach with "set sysroot target:". gdb/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net> PR gdb/28080 * remote.c (remote_unpush_target): Invalidate file I/O target handles. * target.c (fileio_handles_invalidate_target): Make extern. * target.h (fileio_handles_invalidate_target): Declare. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net> PR gdb/28080 * gdb.base/detach-sysroot-target.exp: New. * gdb.base/detach-sysroot-target.c: New.

That's the reason for the std::terminate. The previous patch fixed things such that the exception above isn't thrown anymore. However, it's possible that e.g., the remote connection drops just while a user types "nosharedlibrary", or some other reason that leads to objfile::~objfile, and then we end up the same std::terminate problem. Also notice that frames #9-#11 are BFD frames: #9 0x0000555555e09e3f in opncls_bclose (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:599 #10 0x0000555555e0a2c7 in bfd_close_all_done (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:847 #11 0x0000555555e0a27a in bfd_close (abfd=0x555556bc27e0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:814 BFD is written in C and thus throwing exceptions over such frames may either not clean up properly, or, may abort if bfd is not compiled with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables (x86-64 defaults that on, but not all GCC ports do). Thus frame #8 seems like a good place to swallow exceptions. More so since in this spot we already ignore target_fileio_close return errors. That's what this commit does.

argv=0x7ffc4ee367b8) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 At frame 45, the new_thread observable is fired. At this moment, the new thread isn't the current thread, inferior_ptid is null_ptid. I think this is ok: the new_thread observable doesn't give any guarantee on the global context when observers are invoked. Frame 35, btrace_compute_ftrace_bts, calls gdb_insn_length. gdb_insn_length doesn't have a thread_info or other parameter what could indicate where to read memory from, it implicitly uses the global context (inferior_ptid). So we reach the all_non_exited_threads_range in record_btrace_target::record_is_replaying with a null inferior_ptid. The previous implemention of all_non_exited_threads_range didn't care, but the new one does. The problem of calling gdb_insn_length and ultimately trying to read memory with a null inferior_ptid already existed, but the commit mentioned above made it visible. Something between frames 40 (record_btrace_enable_warn) and 35 (btrace_compute_ftrace_bts) needs to be switching the global context to make TP the current thread. Since btrace_compute_ftrace_bts takes the thread_info to work with as a parameter, that typically means that it doesn't require its caller to also set the global current context (current thread) when calling. If it needs to call other functions that do require the global current thread to be set, then it needs to temporarily change the current thread while calling these other functions. Therefore, switch and restore the current thread in btrace_compute_ftrace_bts. By inspection, it looks like btrace_compute_ftrace_pt may also call functions sensitive to the global context: it installs the btrace_pt_readmem_callback callback in the PT instruction decoder. When this function gets called, inferior_ptid must be set appropriately. Add a switch and restore in there too.

This commit fixes Bug 28308, titled "Strange interactions with dprintf and break/commands": Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28308 Since creating that bug report, I've found a somewhat simpler way of reproducing the problem. I've encapsulated it into the GDB test case which I've created along with this bug fix. The name of the new test is gdb.base/dprintf-execution-x-script.exp, I'll demonstrate the problem using this test case, though for brevity, I've placed all relevant files in the same directory and have renamed the files to all start with 'dp-bug' instead of 'dprintf-execution-x-script'. The script file, named dp-bug.gdb, consists of the following commands: dprintf increment, "dprintf in increment(), vi=%d\n", vi break inc_vi commands continue end run Note that the final command in this script is 'run'. When 'run' is instead issued interactively, the bug does not occur. So, let's look at the interactive case first in order to see the correct/expected output: $ gdb -q -x dp-bug.gdb dp-bug ... eliding buggy output which I'll discuss later ... (gdb) run Starting program: /mesquite2/sourceware-git/f34-master/bld/gdb/tmp/dp-bug vi=0 dprintf in increment(), vi=0 Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26 26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c vi=1 dprintf in increment(), vi=1 Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26 26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c vi=2 dprintf in increment(), vi=2 Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26 26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c vi=3 [Inferior 1 (process 1539210) exited normally] In this run, in which 'run' was issued from the gdb prompt (instead of at the end of the script), there are three dprintf messages along with three 'Breakpoint 2' messages. This is the correct output. Now let's look at the output that I snipped above; this is the output when 'run' is issued from the script loaded via GDB's -x switch: $ gdb -q -x dp-bug.gdb dp-bug Reading symbols from dp-bug... Dprintf 1 at 0x40116e: file dprintf-execution-x-script.c, line 38. Breakpoint 2 at 0x40113a: file dprintf-execution-x-script.c, line 26. vi=0 dprintf in increment(), vi=0 Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26 26 dprintf-execution-x-script.c: No such file or directory. vi=1 Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26 26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c vi=2 Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26 26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c vi=3 [Inferior 1 (process 1539175) exited normally] In the output shown above, only the first dprintf message is printed. The 2nd and 3rd dprintf messages are missing! However, all three 'Breakpoint 2...' messages are still printed. Why does this happen? bpstat_do_actions_1() in gdb/breakpoint.c contains the following comment and code near the start of the function: /* Avoid endless recursion if a `source' command is contained in bs->commands. */ if (executing_breakpoint_commands) return 0; scoped_restore save_executing = make_scoped_restore (&executing_breakpoint_commands, 1); Also, as described by this comment prior to the 'async' field in 'struct ui' in top.h, the main UI starts off in sync mode when processing command line arguments: /* True if the UI is in async mode, false if in sync mode. If in sync mode, a synchronous execution command (e.g, "next") does not return until the command is finished. If in async mode, then running a synchronous command returns right after resuming the target. Waiting for the command's completion is later done on the top event loop. For the main UI, this starts out disabled, until all the explicit command line arguments (e.g., `gdb -ex "start" -ex "next"') are processed. */ This combination of things, the state of the static global 'executing_breakpoint_commands' plus the state of the async field in the main UI causes this behavior. This is a backtrace after hitting the dprintf breakpoint for the second time when doing 'run' from the script file, i.e. non-interactively: Thread 1 "gdb" hit Breakpoint 3, bpstat_do_actions_1 (bsp=0x7fffffffc2b8) at /ironwood1/sourceware-git/f34-master/bld/../../worktree-master/gdb/breakpoint.c:4431 4431 if (executing_breakpoint_commands) #0 bpstat_do_actions_1 (bsp=0x7fffffffc2b8) at gdb/breakpoint.c:4431 #1 0x00000000004d8bc6 in dprintf_after_condition_true (bs=0x1538090) at gdb/breakpoint.c:13048 #2 0x00000000004c5caa in bpstat_stop_status (aspace=0x116dbc0, bp_addr=0x40116e, thread=0x137f450, ws=0x7fffffffc718, stop_chain=0x1538090) at gdb/breakpoint.c:5498 #3 0x0000000000768d98 in handle_signal_stop (ecs=0x7fffffffc6f0) at gdb/infrun.c:6172 #4 0x00000000007678d3 in handle_inferior_event (ecs=0x7fffffffc6f0) at gdb/infrun.c:5662 #5 0x0000000000763cd5 in fetch_inferior_event () at gdb/infrun.c:4060 #6 0x0000000000746d7d in inferior_event_handler (event_type=INF_REG_EVENT) at gdb/inf-loop.c:41 #7 0x00000000007a702f in handle_target_event (error=0, client_data=0x0) at gdb/linux-nat.c:4207 #8 0x0000000000b8cd6e in gdb_wait_for_event (block=block@entry=0) at gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:701 #9 0x0000000000b8d032 in gdb_wait_for_event (block=0) at gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:597 #10 gdb_do_one_event () at gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:212 #11 0x00000000009d19b6 in wait_sync_command_done () at gdb/top.c:528 #12 0x00000000009d1a3f in maybe_wait_sync_command_done (was_sync=0) at gdb/top.c:545 #13 0x00000000009d2033 in execute_command (p=0x7fffffffcb18 "", from_tty=0) at gdb/top.c:676 #14 0x0000000000560d5b in execute_control_command_1 (cmd=0x13b9bb0, from_tty=0) at gdb/cli/cli-script.c:547 #15 0x000000000056134a in execute_control_command (cmd=0x13b9bb0, from_tty=0) at gdb/cli/cli-script.c:717 #16 0x00000000004c3bbe in bpstat_do_actions_1 (bsp=0x137f530) at gdb/breakpoint.c:4469 #17 0x00000000004c3d40 in bpstat_do_actions () at gdb/breakpoint.c:4533 #18 0x00000000006a473a in command_handler (command=0x1399ad0 "run") at gdb/event-top.c:624 #19 0x00000000009d182e in read_command_file (stream=0x113e540) at gdb/top.c:443 #20 0x0000000000563697 in script_from_file (stream=0x113e540, file=0x13bb0b0 "dp-bug.gdb") at gdb/cli/cli-script.c:1642 #21 0x00000000006abd63 in source_gdb_script (extlang=0xc44e80 <extension_language_gdb>, stream=0x113e540, file=0x13bb0b0 "dp-bug.gdb") at gdb/extension.c:188 #22 0x0000000000544400 in source_script_from_stream (stream=0x113e540, file=0x7fffffffd91a "dp-bug.gdb", file_to_open=0x13bb0b0 "dp-bug.gdb") at gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:692 #23 0x0000000000544557 in source_script_with_search (file=0x7fffffffd91a "dp-bug.gdb", from_tty=1, search_path=0) at gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:750 #24 0x00000000005445cf in source_script (file=0x7fffffffd91a "dp-bug.gdb", from_tty=1) at gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:759 #25 0x00000000007cf6d9 in catch_command_errors (command=0x5445aa <source_script(char const*, int)>, arg=0x7fffffffd91a "dp-bug.gdb", from_tty=1, do_bp_actions=false) at gdb/main.c:523 #26 0x00000000007cf85d in execute_cmdargs (cmdarg_vec=0x7fffffffd1b0, file_type=CMDARG_FILE, cmd_type=CMDARG_COMMAND, ret=0x7fffffffd18c) at gdb/main.c:615 #27 0x00000000007d0c8e in captured_main_1 (context=0x7fffffffd3f0) at gdb/main.c:1322 #28 0x00000000007d0eba in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffd3f0) at gdb/main.c:1343 #29 0x00000000007d0f25 in gdb_main (args=0x7fffffffd3f0) at gdb/main.c:1368 #30 0x00000000004186dd in main (argc=5, argv=0x7fffffffd508) at gdb/gdb.c:32 There are two frames for bpstat_do_actions_1(), one at frame #16 and the other at frame #0. The one at frame #16 is processing the actions for Breakpoint 2, which is a 'continue'. The one at frame #0 is attempting to process the dprintf breakpoint action. However, at this point, the value of 'executing_breakpoint_commands' is 1, forcing an early return, i.e. prior to executing the command(s) associated with the dprintf breakpoint. For the sake of comparison, this is what the stack looks like when hitting the dprintf breakpoint for the second time when issuing the 'run' command from the GDB prompt.

Yet another thing to be aware of regarding this problem is the difference in the way that commands associated to dprintf breakpoints versus regular breakpoints are handled. While they both use a command list associated with the breakpoint, regular breakpoints will place the commands to be run on the bpstat chain constructed in bp_stop_status(). These commands are run later on. For dprintf breakpoints, commands are run via the 'after_condition_true' function pointer directly from bpstat_stop_status(). (The 'commands' field in the bpstat is cleared in dprintf_after_condition_true(). This prevents the dprintf commands from being run again later on when other commands on the bpstat chain are processed.) Another thing that I noticed is that dprintf breakpoints are the only type of breakpoint which use 'after_condition_true'. This suggests that one possible way of fixing this problem, that of making dprintf breakpoints work more like regular breakpoints, probably won't work. (I must admit, however, that my understanding of this code isn't complete enough to say why. I'll trust that whoever implemented it had a good reason for doing it this way.) The comment referenced earlier regarding 'executing_breakpoint_commands' states that the reason for checking this variable is to avoid potential endless recursion when a 'source' command appears in bs->commands. We know that a dprintf command is constrained to either 1) execution of a GDB printf command, 2) an inferior function call of a printf-like function, or 3) execution of an agent-printf command. Therefore, infinite recursion due to a 'source' command cannot happen when executing commands upon hitting a dprintf breakpoint. I chose to fix this problem by having dprintf_after_condition_true() directly call execute_control_commands(). This means that it no longer attempts to go through bpstat_do_actions_1() avoiding the infinite recursion check for potential 'source' commands on the command chain. I think it simplifies this code a little bit too, a definite bonus. Summary: * breakpoint.c (dprintf_after_condition_true): Don't call bpstat_do_actions_1(). Call execute_control_commands() instead.

it would be useful for GDB to work around this. I did the obvious simple thing, if the DW_AT_data_member_location's value is -1, replace it with 0. I added a producer check to only apply this fixup for GCC 11. The idea is that if some other compiler ever uses a DW_AT_data_member_location value of -1 by mistake, we don't know (before analyzing the bug at least) if they did mean 0 or some other value. So I wouldn't want to apply the fixup in that case. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28063 Change-Id: Ieef3459b0b9bbce8bdad838ba83b4b64e7269d42

to 'get_current_arch' in 'gdbpy_before_prompt_hook'. Hence, the second instance of "Couldn't get registers: No such process." does not appear anymore. Fix the failure by updating the regular expression in the test.

Commit 152a174 ("gdb: prune inferiors at end of fetch_inferior_event, fix intermittent failure of gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp") broke some tests with the native-gdbserver board, such as: (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: detach-on-fork=off: follow-fork=child: break cond on target : vfork: break marker continue^M Continuing.^M terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'^M I can manually reproduce the issue by running (just the commands that the test does as a one liner): $ ./gdb -q --data-directory=data-directory \ testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-syscall/step-over-vfork \ -ex "tar rem | ../gdbserver/gdbserver - testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-syscall/step-over-vfork" \ -ex "b main" \ -ex c \ -ex "d 1" \ -ex "set displaced-stepping off" \ -ex "b *0x7ffff7d7ac5a if main == 0" \ -ex "set detach-on-fork off" \ -ex "set follow-fork-mode child" \ -ex c \ -ex "inferior 1" \ -ex "b marker" \ -ex c ... where 0x7ffff7d7ac5a is the exact address of the vfork syscall (which can be found by looking at gdb.log). The important part of the above is that a vfork syscall creates inferior 2, then inferior 2 executes until exit, then we switch back to inferior 1 and try to resume it. The uncaught exception happens here: #4 0x00005596969d81a9 in error (fmt=0x559692da9e40 "Cannot execute this command while the target is running.\nUse the \"interrupt\" command to stop the target\nand then try again.") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:43 #5 0x0000559695af6f66 in remote_target::putpkt_binary (this=0x617000038080, buf=0x559692da4380 "qSymbol::", cnt=9) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9560 #6 0x0000559695af6aaf in remote_target::putpkt (this=0x617000038080, buf=0x559692da4380 "qSymbol::") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9518 #7 0x0000559695ab50dc in remote_target::remote_check_symbols (this=0x617000038080) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:5141 #8 0x0000559695b3cccf in remote_new_objfile (objfile=0x0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:14600 #9 0x0000559693bc52a9 in std::__invoke_impl<void, void (*&)(objfile*), objfile*> (__f=@0x61b0000167f8: 0x559695b3cb1d <remote_new_objfile(objfile*)>) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/invoke.h:61 #10 0x0000559693bb2848 in std::__invoke_r<void, void (*&)(objfile*), objfile*> (__fn=@0x61b0000167f8: 0x559695b3cb1d <remote_new_objfile(objfile*)>) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/invoke.h:111 #11 0x0000559693b8dddf in std::_Function_handler<void (objfile*), void (*)(objfile*)>::_M_invoke(std::_Any_data const&, objfile*&&) (__functor=..., __args#0=@0x7ffe0bae0590: 0x0) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/std_function.h:291 #12 0x00005596956374b2 in std::function<void (objfile*)>::operator()(objfile*) const (this=0x61b0000167f8, __args#0=0x0) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/std_function.h:560 #13 0x0000559695633c64 in gdb::observers::observable<objfile*>::notify (this=0x55969ef5c480 <gdb::observers::new_objfile>, args#0=0x0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/observable.h:150 #14 0x0000559695df6cc2 in clear_symtab_users (add_flags=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symfile.c:2873 #15 0x000055969574c263 in program_space::~program_space (this=0x6120000c8a40, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/progspace.c:154 #16 0x0000559694fc086b in delete_inferior (inf=0x61700003bf80) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inferior.c:205 #17 0x0000559694fc341f in prune_inferiors () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inferior.c:390 #18 0x0000559695017ada in fetch_inferior_event () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:4293 #19 0x0000559694f629e6 in inferior_event_handler (event_type=INF_REG_EVENT) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inf-loop.c:41 #20 0x0000559695b3b0e3 in remote_async_serial_handler (scb=0x6250001ef100, context=0x6170000380a8) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:14466 #21 0x0000559695c59eb7 in run_async_handler_and_reschedule (scb=0x6250001ef100) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:138 #22 0x0000559695c5a42a in fd_event (error=0, context=0x6250001ef100) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:189 #23 0x00005596969d9ebf in handle_file_event (file_ptr=0x60700005af40, ready_mask=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:574 #24 0x00005596969da7fa in gdb_wait_for_event (block=0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:700 #25 0x00005596969d8539 in gdb_do_one_event () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:212 If I enable "set debug infrun" just before the last continue, we see: (gdb) continue Continuing.

The core ignores it and resumes inferior 1. - Since prune_inferiors is now called after each handled event, in fetch_inferior_event, it is called after we handled that VFORK_DONE event and resumed inferior 1. - Inferior 2 is pruned, which (see backtrace above) causes its program space to be deleted, which clears the symtabs for that program space, which calls the new_objfile observable and remote_new_objfile observer (with a nullptr objfile, to indicate that the previously loaded symbols have been discarded), which calls remote_check_symbols. remote_check_symbols is the function that sends the qSymbol packet, to let the remote side ask for symbol addresses. The problem is that the remote target is working in all-stop / sync mode and is currently resumed. It has sent a vCont packet to resume the target and is waiting for a stop reply. It can't send any packets in the mean time. That causes the exception to be thrown. This wasn't a problem before, when prune_inferiors was called in normal_stop, because it was always called at a time the target was not resumed. An important observation here is that the new_objfile observable is invoked for a change in inferior 2's program space (inferior 2's program space is the current program space). Inferior 2 isn't bound to any process on the remote side (it has exited, that's why it's being pruned). It doesn't make sense to try to send a qSymbol packet for a process that doesn't exist on the remote side. remote_check_symbols actually attempts to avoid that: /* The remote side has no concept of inferiors that aren't running yet, it only knows about running processes. If we're connected but our current inferior is not running, we should not invite the remote target to request symbol lookups related to its (unrelated) current process. */ if (!target_has_execution ()) return; The problem here is that while inferior 2's program space is the current program space, inferior 1 is the current inferior. So the check above passes, since inferior has execution. We therefore try to send a qSymbol packet for inferior 1 in reaction to a change in inferior 2's program space, that's wrong. This exposes a conceptual flaw in remote_new_objfile. The "new_objfile" event concerns a specific program space, which can concern multiple inferiors, as inferiors can share a program space. We shouldn't consider the current inferior at all, but instead all inferiors bound to the affected program space. Especially since the current inferior can be unrelated to the current program space at that point. To be clear, we are in this state because ~program_space sets itself as the current program space, but there is no more inferior having that program space to switch to, inferior 2 has already been unlinked. To fix this, make remote_new_objfile iterate on all inferiors bound to the affected program space. Remove the target_has_execution check from remote_check_symbols, replace it with an assert. All callers must ensure that the current inferior has execution before calling it. Change-Id: Ica643145bcc03115248290fd310cadab8ec8371c

Bug gdb/29712 identifies a problem with the Python disassembler API. In some cases GDB will try to throw an exception through the libopcodes disassembler code, however, not all targets include exception unwind information when compiling C code, for targets that don't include this information GDB will terminate when trying to pass the exception through libopcodes. To explain what GDB is trying to do, consider the following trivial use of the Python disassembler API: class ExampleDisassembler(gdb.disassembler.Disassembler): class MyInfo(gdb.disassembler.DisassembleInfo): def __init__(self, info): super().__init__(info) def read_memory(self, length, offset): return super().read_memory(length, offset) def __init__(self): super().__init__("ExampleDisassembler") def __call__(self, info): info = self.MyInfo(info) return gdb.disassembler.builtin_disassemble(info) This disassembler doesn't add any value, it defers back to GDB to do all the actual work, but it serves to allow us to discuss the problem. The problem occurs when a Python exception is raised by the MyInfo.read_memory method. The MyInfo.read_memory method is called from the C++ function gdbpy_disassembler::read_memory_func. The C++ stack at the point this function is called looks like this: #0 gdbpy_disassembler::read_memory_func (memaddr=4198805, buff=0x7fff9ab9d2a8 "\220ӹ\232\377\177", len=1, info=0x7fff9ab9d558) at ../../src/gdb/python/py-disasm.c:510 #1 0x000000000104ba06 in fetch_data (info=0x7fff9ab9d558, addr=0x7fff9ab9d2a9 "ӹ\232\377\177") at ../../src/opcodes/i386-dis.c:305 #2 0x000000000104badb in ckprefix (ins=0x7fff9ab9d100) at ../../src/opcodes/i386-dis.c:8571 #3 0x000000000104e28e in print_insn (pc=4198805, info=0x7fff9ab9d558, intel_syntax=-1) at ../../src/opcodes/i386-dis.c:9548 #4 0x000000000104f4d4 in print_insn_i386 (pc=4198805, info=0x7fff9ab9d558) at ../../src/opcodes/i386-dis.c:9949 #5 0x00000000004fa7ea in default_print_insn (memaddr=4198805, info=0x7fff9ab9d558) at ../../src/gdb/arch-utils.c:1033 #6 0x000000000094fe5e in i386_print_insn (pc=4198805, info=0x7fff9ab9d558) at ../../src/gdb/i386-tdep.c:4072 #7 0x0000000000503d49 in gdbarch_print_insn (gdbarch=0x5335560, vma=4198805, info=0x7fff9ab9d558) at ../../src/gdb/gdbarch.c:3351 #8 0x0000000000bcc8c6 in disasmpy_builtin_disassemble (self=0x7f2ab07f54d0, args=0x7f2ab0789790, kw=0x0) at ../../src/gdb/python/py-disasm.c:324 ### ... snip lots of frames as we pass through Python itself ... #22 0x0000000000bcd860 in gdbpy_print_insn (gdbarch=0x5335560, memaddr=0x401195, info=0x7fff9ab9e3c8) at ../../src/gdb/python/py-disasm.c:783 #23 0x00000000008995a5 in ext_lang_print_insn (gdbarch=0x5335560, address=0x401195, info=0x7fff9ab9e3c8) at ../../src/gdb/extension.c:939 #24 0x0000000000741aaa in gdb_print_insn_1 (gdbarch=0x5335560, vma=0x401195, info=0x7fff9ab9e3c8) at ../../src/gdb/disasm.c:1078 #25 0x0000000000741bab in gdb_disassembler::print_insn (this=0x7fff9ab9e3c0, memaddr=0x401195, branch_delay_insns=0x0) at ../../src/gdb/disasm.c:1101 So gdbpy_disassembler::read_memory_func is called from the libopcodes disassembler to read memory, this C++ function then calls into user supplied Python code to do the work. If the user supplied Python code raises an gdb.MemoryError exception indicating the memory read failed, this is fine. The C++ code converts this exception back into a return value that libopcodes can understand, and returns to libopcodes. However, if the user supplied Python code raises some other exception, what we want is for this exception to propagate through GDB and appear as if raised by the call to gdb.disassembler.builtin_disassemble. To achieve this, when gdbpy_disassembler::read_memory_func spots an unknown Python exception, we must pass the information about this exception from frame #0 to frame #8 in the above backtrace. Frame #8 is the C++ implementation of gdb.disassembler.builtin_disassemble, and so it is this function that we want to re-raise the unknown Python exception, so the user can, if they want, catch the exception in their code. The previous mechanism by which the exception was passed was to pack the details of the Python exception into a C++ exception, then throw the exception from frame #0, and catch the exception in frame #8, unpack the details of the Python exception, and re-raise it. However, this relies on the exception passing through frames #1 to #7, some of which are in libopcodes, which is C code, and so, might not be compiled with exception support. This commit proposes an alternative solution that does not rely on throwing a C++ exception. When we spot an unhandled Python exception in frame #0, we will store the details of this exception within the gdbpy_disassembler object currently in use. Then we return to libopcodes a value indicating that the memory_read failed. libopcodes will now continue to disassemble as though that memory read failed (with one special case described below), then, when we eventually return to disasmpy_builtin_disassemble we check to see if there is an exception stored in the gdbpy_disassembler object. If there is then this exception can immediately be installed, and then we return back to Python, when the user will be able to catch the exception. There is one extra change in gdbpy_disassembler::read_memory_func. After the first call that results in an exception being stored on the gdbpy_disassembler object, any future calls to the ::read_memory_func function will immediately return as if the read failed. This avoids any additional calls into user supplied Python code. My thinking here is that should the first call fail with some unknown error, GDB should not keep trying with any additional calls. This maintains the illusion that the exception raised from MyInfo.read_memory is immediately raised by gdb.disassembler.builtin_disassemble. I have no tests for this change though - to trigger this issue would rely on a libopcodes disassembler that will try to read further memory even after the first failed read. I'm not aware of any such disassembler that currently does this, but that doesn't mean such a disassembler couldn't exist in the future. With this change in place the gdb.python/py-disasm.exp test should now pass on AArch64.

Commit 7a8de0c ("Remove ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFE") introduced a use-after-free in the breakpoints iterations (see below for full ASan report). This makes gdb.base/stale-infcall.exp fail when GDB is build with ASan. check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy iterates on all breakpoints, possibly deleting the current breakpoint as well as related breakpoints. The problem arises when a breakpoint in the B->related_breakpoint chain is also B->next. In that case, deleting that related breakpoint frees the breakpoint that all_breakpoints_safe has saved. The old code worked around that by manually changing B_TMP, which was the next breakpoint saved by the "safe iterator": while (b->related_breakpoint != b) { if (b_tmp == b->related_breakpoint) b_tmp = b->related_breakpoint->next; delete_breakpoint (b->related_breakpoint); } (Note that this seemed to assume that b->related_breakpoint->next was the same as b->next->next, not sure this is guaranteed.) The new code kept the B_TMP variable, but it's not useful in that context. We can't go change the next breakpoint as saved by the safe iterator, like we did before. I suggest fixing that by saving the breakpoints to delete in a map and deleting them all at the end. Here's the full ASan report: (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/stale-infcall.exp: continue to breakpoint: break-run1 print infcall () =================================================================

(/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8+0x3b246) (BuildId: 092e91fc4361b0ef94561e3ae03a75f69398acbb) The problem is in cli/cli-cmds.c, in the function setting_cmd, where we do this: const char *a0 = (const char *) argv[0]->contents ().data (); Here argv[0] is a value* which we know is either a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY or a TYPE_CODE_STRING. The problem is that the above line is casting the value contents directly to a C-string, i.e. one that is assumed to have a null-terminator at the end. After the above commit this can no longer be assumed to be true. A string value will be represented just as it would be in the current language, so for Ada and Fortran the string will be an array of characters with no null-terminator at the end. My proposed solution is to copy the string contents into a std::string object, and then use the std::string::c_str() value, this will ensure that a null-terminator has been added. I had a check through GDB at places TYPE_CODE_STRING was used and couldn't see any other obvious places where this type of assumption was being made, so hopefully this is the only offender. Running the above test with ASan compiled in no longer gives an error. Reviewed-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/index-cache.c:76 in index_cache::enable() ... The race happens when issuing a "file $exec" command followed by a "set index-cache enabled on" command. The race is between: - a worker thread reading index_cache::m_enabled to determine whether an index-cache entry for $exec needs to be written (due to command "file $exec"), and - the main thread setting index_cache::m_enabled (due to command "set index-cache enabled on"). Fix this by capturing the value of index_cache::m_enabled in the main thread, and using the captured value in the worker thread. Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race bfd/cache.c:584 in bfd_open_file ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread getting the build id while writing the index cache, and in the process reading bfd::format, and - the main thread calling find_main_name, and in the process setting bfd::cacheable. The two bitfields bfd::cacheable and bfd::format share the same bitfield container. Fix this by capturing the build id in the main thread, and using the captured value in the worker thread. Likewise for the dwz build id, which likely suffers from the same issue. While we're at it, also move the creation of the cache directory to the index_cache_store_context constructor, to: - make sure there's no race between subsequent file commands, and - issue any related warning or error messages during the file command. Tested on x86_64-linux. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR symtab/30392 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30392

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:5564 in queue_comp_unit ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and - the main thread expanding the CU containing main, and in the process setting dwarf2_per_cu_data::queued. The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::queue and dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container. Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::queued a packed<bool, 1>. Tested on x86_64-linux. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR symtab/30392 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30392

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:21513 in dwarf2_per_cu_data::get_header() const ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and - the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in. The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in and dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container. Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in a packed<bool, 1>. Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:2033 in dw2_get_file_names_reader ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and - the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read. The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read and dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container. Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::files_read a packed<bool, 1>. Tested on x86_64-linux. PR symtab/30718 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30718

It was pointed out on the mailing list that a recently added test (gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp) was failing when run with the native-extended-gdbserver board. This test was added with this commit: commit 59912fb Date: Tue Sep 19 11:45:36 2023 +0100 gdb: add Python events for program space addition and removal It turns out though that the test is failing due to a existing bug in GDB, the new test just exposes the problem. Additionally, the failure really doesn't even rely on the new functionality added in the above commit. I reduced the test to a simple set of steps that reproduced the failure and tested against GDB 13, and the test passes; so the bug was introduced since then. In fact, the bug was introduced with this commit: commit a282736 Date: Fri Sep 8 15:48:16 2023 +0100 gdb: remove final user of the executable_changed observer This commit changed how the per-inferior auxv data cache is managed, specifically, when the cache is cleared, and it is this that leads to the failure. This bug is interesting because it exposes a number of issues with GDB, I'll explain all of the problems I see, though ultimately, I only propose fixing one problem in this commit, which is enough to resolve the crash we are currently seeing. The crash that we are seeing manifests like this: ... [Inferior 2 (process 3970384) exited normally] +inferior 1 [Switching to inferior 1 [process 3970383] (/tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.python/py-progspace-events/py-progspace-events)] [Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 3970383.3970383)] #0 breakpt () at /tmp/build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.python/py-progspace-events.c:28 28 { /* Nothing. */ } (gdb) step +step terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error' Fatal signal: Aborted ... etc ... What's happening is that GDB attempts to refill the auxv cache as a result of the gdbarch_has_shared_address_space call in program_space::~program_space, the backtrace looks like this: #0 0x00007fb4f419a9a5 in raise () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00000000008b635d in handle_fatal_signal (sig=6) at ../../src/gdb/event-top.c:912 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x00007fb4f38e3625 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #4 0x00007fb4f38cc8d9 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #5 0x00007fb4f3c70756 in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler() [clone .cold] () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #6 0x00007fb4f3c7c6dc in __cxxabiv1::__terminate(void (*)()) () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #7 0x00007fb4f3c7b6e9 in __cxa_call_terminate () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #8 0x00007fb4f3c7c094 in __gxx_personality_v0 () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #9 0x00007fb4f3a80c63 in _Unwind_RaiseException_Phase2 () from /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 #10 0x00007fb4f3a8154e in _Unwind_Resume () from /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 #11 0x0000000000e8832d in target_read_alloc_1<unsigned char> (ops=0x408a3a0, object=TARGET_OBJECT_AUXV, annex=0x0) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:2266 #12 0x0000000000e73dea in target_read_alloc (ops=0x408a3a0, object=TARGET_OBJECT_AUXV, annex=0x0) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:2315 #13 0x000000000058248c in target_read_auxv_raw (ops=0x408a3a0) at ../../src/gdb/auxv.c:379 #14 0x000000000058243d in target_read_auxv () at ../../src/gdb/auxv.c:368 #15 0x000000000058255c in target_auxv_search (match=0x0, valp=0x7ffdee17c598) at ../../src/gdb/auxv.c:415 #16 0x0000000000a464bb in linux_is_uclinux () at ../../src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:433 #17 0x0000000000a464f6 in linux_has_shared_address_space (gdbarch=0x409a2d0) at ../../src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:440 #18 0x0000000000510eae in gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (gdbarch=0x409a2d0) at ../../src/gdb/gdbarch.c:4889 #19 0x0000000000bc7558 in program_space::~program_space (this=0x4544aa0, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at ../../src/gdb/progspace.c:124 #20 0x00000000009b245d in delete_inferior (inf=0x47b3de0) at ../../src/gdb/inferior.c:290 #21 0x00000000009b2c10 in prune_inferiors () at ../../src/gdb/inferior.c:480 #22 0x00000000009c5e3e in fetch_inferior_event () at ../../src/gdb/infrun.c:4558 #23 0x000000000099b4dc in inferior_event_handler (event_type=INF_REG_EVENT) at ../../src/gdb/inf-loop.c:42 #24 0x0000000000cbc64f in remote_async_serial_handler (scb=0x4090a30, context=0x408a6b0) at ../../src/gdb/remote.c:14859 #25 0x0000000000d83d3a in run_async_handler_and_reschedule (scb=0x4090a30) at ../../src/gdb/ser-base.c:138 #26 0x0000000000d83e1f in fd_event (error=0, context=0x4090a30) at ../../src/gdb/ser-base.c:189 So this is problem #1, if we throw an exception while deleting a program_space then this is not caught, and is going to crash GDB. Problem #2 becomes evident when we ask why GDB is throwing an error in this case; the error is thrown because the remote target, operating in non-async mode, can't read the auxv data while an inferior is running and GDB is waiting for a stop reply. The problem here then, is why does GDB get into a position where it tries to interact with the remote target in this way, at this time? The problem is caused by the prune_inferiors call which can be seen in the above backtrace. In prune_inferiors we check if the inferior is deletable, and if it is, we delete it. The problem is, I think, we should also check if the target is currently in a state that would allow us to delete the inferior. We don't currently have such a check available, we'd need to add one, but for the remote target, this would return false if the remote is in async mode and the remote is currently waiting for a stop reply. With this change in place GDB would defer deleting the inferior until the remote target has stopped, at which point GDB would be able to refill the auxv cache successfully. And then, problem #3 becomes evident when we ask why GDB is needing to refill the auxv cache now when it didn't need to for GDB 13. This is where the second commit mentioned above (a282736) comes in. Prior to this commit, the auxv cache was cleared by the executable_changed observer, while after that commit the auxv cache was cleared by the new_objfile observer -- but only when the new_objfile observer is used in the special mode that actually means that all objfiles have been unloaded (I know, the overloading of the new_objfile observer is horrible, and unnecessary, but it's not really important for this bug). The difference arises because the new_objfile observer is triggered from clear_symtab_users, which in turn is called from program_space::~program_space. The new_objfile observer for auxv does this: static void auxv_new_objfile_observer (struct objfile *objfile) { if (objfile == nullptr) invalidate_auxv_cache_inf (current_inferior ()); } That is, when all the objfiles are unloaded, we clear the auxv cache for the current inferior. The problem is, then when we look at the prune_inferiors -> delete_inferior -> ~program_space path, we see that the current inferior is not going to be an inferior that exists within the program_space being deleted; delete_inferior removes the deleted inferior from the global inferior list, and then only deletes the program_space if program_space::empty() returns true, which is only the case if the current inferior isn't within the program_space to delete, and no other inferior exists within that program_space either. What this means is that when the new_objfile observer is called we can't rely on the current inferior having any relationship with the program space in which the objfiles were removed. This was an error in the commit a282736, the only thing we can rely on is the current program space. As a result of this mistake, after commit a282736, GDB was sometimes clearing the auxv cache for a random inferior. In the native target case this was harmless as we can always refill the cache when needed, but in the remote target case, if we need to refill the cache when the remote target is executing, then we get the crash we observed. And additionally, if we think about this a little more, we see that commit a282736 made another mistake. When all the objfiles are removed, they are removed from a program_space, a program_space might contain multiple inferiors, so surely, we should clear the auxv cache for all of the matching inferiors? Given these two insights, that the current_inferior is not relevant, only the current_program_space, and that we should be clearing the cache for all inferiors in the current_program_space, we can update auxv_new_objfile_observer to: if (objfile == nullptr) { for (inferior *inf : all_inferiors ()) { if (inf->pspace == current_program_space) invalidate_auxv_cache_inf (inf); } } With this change we now correctly clear the auxv cache for the correct inferiors, and GDB no longer needs to refill the cache at an inconvenient time, this avoids the crash we were seeing. And finally, we reach problem #4. Inspired by the observation that using the current_inferior from within the ~program_space function was not correct, I added some debug to see if current_inferior() was called anywhere else (below ~program_space), and the answer is yes, it's called a often. Mostly the culprit is GDB doing: current_inferior ()->top_target ()-> .... But I think all of these calls are most likely doing the wrong thing, and only work because the top target in all these cases is shared between all inferiors, e.g. it's the native target, or the remote target for all inferiors. But if we had a truly multi-connection setup, then we might start to see odd behaviour. Problem #1 I'm just ignoring for now, I guess at some point we might run into this again, and then we'd need to solve this. But in this case I wasn't sure what a "good" solution would look like. We need the auxv data in order to implement the linux_is_uclinux() function. If we can't get the auxv data then what should we do, assume yes, or assume no? The right answer would probably be to propagate the error back up the stack, but then we reach ~program_space, and throwing exceptions from a destructor is problematic, so we'd need to catch and deal at this point. The linux_is_uclinux() call is made from within gdbarch_has_shared_address_space(), which is used like: if (!gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (target_gdbarch ())) delete this->aspace; So, we would have to choose; delete the address space or not. If we delete it on error, then we might delete an address space that is shared within another program space. If we don't delete the address space, then we might leak it. Neither choice is great. A better solution might be to have the address spaces be reference counted, then we could remove the gdbarch_has_shared_address_space call completely, and just rely on the reference count to auto-delete the address space when appropriate. The solution for problem #2 I already hinted at above, we should have a new target_can_delete_inferiors() call, which should be called from prune_inferiors, this would prevent GDB from trying to delete inferiors when a (remote) target is in a state where we know it can't delete the inferior. Deleting an inferior often (always?) requires sending packets to the remote, and if the remote is waiting for a stop reply then this will never work, so the pruning should be deferred in this case. The solution for problem #3 is included in this commit. And, for problem #4, I'm not sure what the right solution is. Maybe delete_inferior should ensure the inferior to be deleted is in place when ~program_space is called? But that seems a little weird, as the current inferior would, in theory, still be using the current program_space... Anyway, after this commit, the gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp test now passes when run with the native-extended-remote board.

The thread triggering the coredump is: ... #0 0x0000ffff42bb2280 in __pthread_kill_implementation () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0000ffff42b65800 [PAC] in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x00000000007b03e8 [PAC] in handle_fatal_signal (sig=11) at gdb/event-top.c:926 #3 0x00000000007b0470 in handle_sigsegv (sig=11) at gdb/event-top.c:976 #4 <signal handler called> #5 0x0000000000606080 in cli_ui_out::do_message (this=0xffff2f7ed728, style=..., format=0xffff0c002af1 "%s", args=...) at gdb/cli-out.c:232 #6 0x0000000000ce6358 in ui_out::call_do_message (this=0xffff2f7ed728, style=..., format=0xffff0c002af1 "%s") at gdb/ui-out.c:584 #7 0x0000000000ce6610 in ui_out::vmessage (this=0xffff2f7ed728, in_style=..., format=0x16f93ea "", args=...) at gdb/ui-out.c:621 #8 0x0000000000ce3a9c in ui_file::vprintf (this=0xfffffbea1b18, ...) at gdb/ui-file.c:74 #9 0x0000000000d2b148 in gdb_vprintf (stream=0xfffffbea1b18, format=0x16f93e8 "%s", args=...) at gdb/utils.c:1898 #10 0x0000000000d2b23c in gdb_printf (stream=0xfffffbea1b18, format=0x16f93e8 "%s") at gdb/utils.c:1913 #11 0x0000000000ab5208 in gdbpy_write (self=0x33fe35d0, args=0x342ec280, kw=0x345c08b0) at gdb/python/python.c:1464 #12 0x0000ffff434acedc in cfunction_call () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #13 0x0000ffff4347c500 [PAC] in _PyObject_MakeTpCall () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #14 0x0000ffff43488b64 [PAC] in _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #15 0x0000ffff434d8cd0 [PAC] in method_vectorcall () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #16 0x0000ffff434b9824 [PAC] in PyObject_CallOneArg () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #17 0x0000ffff43557674 [PAC] in PyFile_WriteObject () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #18 0x0000ffff435577a0 [PAC] in PyFile_WriteString () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #19 0x0000ffff43465354 [PAC] in thread_excepthook () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #20 0x0000ffff434ac6e0 [PAC] in cfunction_vectorcall_O () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #21 0x0000ffff434a32d8 [PAC] in PyObject_Vectorcall () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #22 0x0000ffff43488b64 [PAC] in _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #23 0x0000ffff434d8d88 [PAC] in method_vectorcall () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #24 0x0000ffff435e0ef4 [PAC] in thread_run () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #25 0x0000ffff43591ec0 [PAC] in pythread_wrapper () from /lib64/libpython3.12.so.1.0 #26 0x0000ffff42bb0584 [PAC] in start_thread () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #27 0x0000ffff42c1fd4c [PAC] in thread_start () from /lib64/libc.so.6 ... The direct cause for the coredump seems to be that cli_ui_out::do_message is trying to write to a stream variable which does not look sound: ...

The string that is being printed is: ... (gdb) p str $9 = "Exception in thread " ... so AFAICT this is a DAP thread running into an exception and trying to print it.

AFAIU, there's a race between the two threads on gdb_stderr: - the DAP thread samples the gdb_stderr value, and uses it a bit later to print to - the gdb main thread changes the gdb_stderr value forth and back, using a temporary value for string capture purposes The non-sound stream value is caused by gdb_stderr being sampled while pointing to a str_file object, and used once the str_file object is already destroyed. The error here is that the DAP thread attempts to print to gdb_stderr. Fix this by adding a thread_wrapper that: - catches all exceptions and logs them to dap.log, and - while we're at it, logs when exiting and using the thread_wrapper for each DAP thread.

When running test-case gdb.dap/eof.exp, we're likely to get a coredump due to a segfault in new_threadstate. At the point of the core dump, the gdb main thread looks like: ...

The direct cause of the segfault is calling PyGILState_Ensure after calling Py_Finalize. AFAICT the problem is a race between the gdb main thread and DAP's JSON writer thread. On one side, we have the following events: - DAP's JSON reader thread reads an EOF, and lets DAP's main thread known by writing None into read_queue - DAP's main thread lets DAP's JSON writer thread known by writing None into write_queue - DAP's JSON writer thread sees the None in its queue, and calls send_gdb("quit") - a corresponding gdbpy_event is deposited in the runnables vector, to be run by the gdb main thread On the other side, we have the following events: - the gdb main thread receives a SIGHUP - the corresponding handler calls quit_force, which calls do_final_cleanups - one of the final cleanups is finalize_python, which calls Py_Finalize - quit_force calls exit, which triggers the exit handlers - one of the exit handlers is the destructor of the runnables vector - destruction of the vector triggers destruction of the remaining element - the remaining element is a gdbpy_event, and the destructor (indirectly) calls PyGILState_Ensure It's good to note that both events (EOF and SIGHUP) are caused by this line in the test-case: ... catch "close -i $gdb_spawn_id" ... where "expect close" closes the stdin and stdout file descriptors, which causes the SIGHUP to be send. So, for the system I'm running this on, the send_gdb("quit") is actually not needed. I'm not sure if we support any systems where it's actually needed. Fix this by removing the send_gdb("quit").

gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:573 SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0x6da18) in memmove ... The error happens when trying to print either variable y or y2: ... type Variable_Record (A : Boolean := True) is record case A is when True => B : Integer; when False => C : Float; D : Integer; end case; end record; Y : Variable_Record := (A => True, B => 1); Y2 : Variable_Record := (A => False, C => 1.0, D => 2); ... when the variables are uninitialized. The error happens only when printing the entire variable: ... (gdb) p y.a $2 = 216 (gdb) p y.b There is no member named b. (gdb) p y.c $3 = 9.18340949e-41 (gdb) p y.d $4 = 1 (gdb) p y <AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow> ... The error happens as follows: - field a functions as discriminant, choosing either the b, or c+d variant. - when y.a happens to be set to 216, as above, gdb interprets this as the variable having the c+d variant (which is why trying to print y.b fails). - when printing y, gdb allocates a value, copies the bytes into it from the target, and then prints the value. - gdb allocates the value using the type size, which is 8. It's 8 because that's what the DW_AT_byte_size indicates. Note that for valid values of a, it gives correct results: if a is 0 (c+d variant), size is 12, if a is 1 (b variant), size is 8. - gdb tries to print field d, which is at an 8 byte offset, and that results in a out-of-bounds access for the allocated 8-byte value. Fix this by handling this case in value::contents_copy_raw, such that we have: ... (gdb) p y $1 = (a => 24, c => 9.18340949e-41, d => <error reading variable: access outside bounds of object>) ... An alternative (additional) fix could be this: in compute_variant_fields_inner gdb reads the discriminant y.a to decide which variant is active. It would be nice to detect that the value (y.a == 24) is not a valid Boolean, and give up on choosing a variant altoghether. However, the situation regarding the internal type CODE_TYPE_BOOL is currently ambiguous (see PR31282) and it's not possible to reliably decide what valid values are. The test-case source file gdb.ada/uninitialized-variable-record/parse.adb is a reduced version of gdb.ada/uninitialized_vars/parse.adb, so it copies the copyright years. Note that the test-case needs gcc-12 or newer, it's unsupported for older gcc versions. [ So, it would be nice to rewrite it into a dwarf assembly test-case. ] The test-case loops over all languages. This is inherited from an earlier attempt to fix this, which had language-specific fixes (in print_field_values, cp_print_value_fields, pascal_object_print_value_fields and f_language::value_print_inner). I've left this in, but I suppose it's not strictly necessary anymore. Tested on x86_64-linux. PR exp/31258 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31258

From the Python API, we can execute GDB commands via gdb.execute. If the command gives an exception, however, we need to recover the GDB prompt and enable stdin, because the exception does not reach top-level GDB or normal_stop. This was done in commit commit 1ba1ac8 Author: Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess@embecosm.com> Date: Tue Nov 19 11:17:20 2019 +0000 gdb: Enable stdin on exception in execute_gdb_command with the following code: catch (const gdb_exception &except) { /* If an exception occurred then we won't hit normal_stop (), or have an exception reach the top level of the event loop, which are the two usual places in which stdin would be re-enabled. So, before we convert the exception and continue back in Python, we should re-enable stdin here. */ async_enable_stdin (); GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except); } In this patch, we explain what happens when we run a GDB command in the context of a synchronous command, e.g. via Python observer notifications. As an example, suppose we have the following objfile event listener, specified in a file named file.py: ~~~ import gdb class MyListener: def __init__(self): gdb.events.new_objfile.connect(self.handle_new_objfile_event) self.processed_objfile = False def handle_new_objfile_event(self, event): if self.processed_objfile: return print("loading " + event.new_objfile.filename) self.processed_objfile = True gdb.execute('add-inferior -no-connection') gdb.execute('inferior 2') gdb.execute('target remote | gdbserver - /tmp/a.out') gdb.execute('inferior 1') the_listener = MyListener() ~~~ Using this Python file, we see the behavior below: $ gdb -q -ex "source file.py" -ex "run" --args a.out Reading symbols from a.out...

[Inferior 1 (process 3075400) exited normally] Note how the GDB prompt comes in-between the debugger output. We have this obscure behavior, because the executed command, "target remote", triggers an invocation of `normal_stop` that enables stdin. After that, however, the Python notification context completes and GDB continues with its normal flow of executing the 'run' command.

In principle, we would reproduce the problem with any command that triggers an invocation of `normal_stop`. To omit enabling the stdin in `normal_stop`, we would have to check the context we are in. Since we cannot do that, we add a new field to `struct ui` to track whether the prompt was already blocked, and set the tracker flag in the Python context before executing a GDB command.

The abort happens because a c++ exception escapes to c code, specifically opncls_bstat in bfd/opncls.c. Compiling with -fexceptions works around this. Fix this by catching the exception just before it escapes, in stat_trampoline and likewise in few similar spot. Add a new template catch_exceptions to do so in a consistent way.
