Right now ptype will not work correctly for non-trivial enum types (that is, enums carrying data).

Recently, we stop throwing exception from SIGINT handler (remote_fileio_ctrl_c_signal_handler) https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00372.html, which is correct, because gdb_select is interruptible. However, in the same patch series, we add interruptible_select later as a wrapper to gdb_select, https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00375.html and it is not interruptible (because of the loop in it) unless select/poll-able file descriptors are marked. This fix in this patch is to call quit_serial_event_set, so that we can go out of the loop above, return -1 and set errno to EINTR. 2016-06-01 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> PR remote/19998 * remote-fileio.c (remote_fileio_ctrl_c_signal_handler): Call quit_serial_event_set.

Most of the time, the trace should be in one piece. This case is handled fine by GDB. In some cases, however, there may be gaps in the trace. They result from trace decode errors or from overflows. A gap in the trace means we lost an unknown amount of trace. Gaps can be very small, such as a few instructions in the same function, or they can be rather big. We may, for example, lose a few function calls or returns. The trace may continue in a different function and we likely don't know how we got there. Even though we can't say how the program executed across a gap, higher levels may not be impacted too much by it. Let's assume we have functions a-e and a trace that looks roughly like this: a \ b b \ / c <gap> c / d d \ / e Even though we can't say for sure, it is likely that b and c are the same function instance before and after the gap. This patch is trying to connect the c and b function segments across the gap. This will add a to the back trace of b on the right hand side. The changes are reflected in GDB's internal representation of the trace and will improve: - the output of "record function-call-history /c" - the output of "backtrace" in replay mode - source stepping in replay mode will be improved indirectly via the improved back trace I don't have an automated test for this patch; decode errors will be fixed and overflows occur sporadically and are quite rare. I tested it by hacking GDB to provoke a decode error and on the expected gap in the gdb.btrace/dlopen.exp test. The issue is that we can't predict where we will be able to re-sync in case of errors.

… frame This patch ensures that the frame id for the current frame is stashed before that of the previous frame (to the current frame). First, it should be noted that the frame id for the current frame is not stashed by get_current_frame(). The current frame's frame id is lazily computed and stashed via calls to get_frame_id(). However, it's possible for get_prev_frame() to be called without first stashing the current frame. The frame stash is used not only to speed up frame lookups, but also to detect cycles. When attempting to compute the frame id for a "previous" frame (in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle), a cycle is detected if the computed frame id is already in the stash. If it should happen that a previous frame id is stashed which should represent a cycle for the current frame, then an assertion failure will trigger should get_frame_id() be later called to determine the frame id for the current frame. As of late 2016, with the "Tweak meaning of VALUE_FRAME_ID" patch in place, this actually occurs when running the gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dup-frame.exp test. While attempting to generate a backtrace, the python frame filter code is invoked, leading to frame_info_to_frame_object() (in python/py-frame.c) being called. That function will potentially call get_prev_frame() before get_frame_id() is called. The call to get_prev_frame() can eventually end up in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle() which, in turn, calls compute_frame_id(), after which the frame id is stashed for the previous frame. If the frame id for the current frame is stashed, the cycle detection code (which relies on the frame stash) in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle() will be triggered for a cycle starting with the current frame. If the current frame's id is not stashed, the cycle detecting code can't operate as designed. Instead, when get_frame_id() is called on the current frame at some later point, the current frame's id will found to be already in the stash, triggering an assertion failure. Below is an in depth examination of the failure which lead to this change. I've shortened pathnames for brevity and readability. Here's the portion of the log file showing the failure/internal error: (gdb) break stop_frame Breakpoint 1 at 0x40059a: file dw2-dup-frame.c, line 22. (gdb) run Starting program: testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dup-frame/dw2-dup-frame Breakpoint 1, stop_frame () at dw2-dup-frame.c:22 22 } (gdb) bt gdb/frame.c:544: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `stashed' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dup-frame.exp: backtrace from stop_frame (GDB internal error) Here's a partial backtrace from the internal error, showing the frames which I think are relevant, plus several extra to provide context: #0 internal_error ( file=0x932b98 "gdb/frame.c", line=544, fmt=0x932b20 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at gdb/common/errors.c:54 #1 0x000000000072207e in get_frame_id (fi=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:544 #2 0x00000000004eb50d in frame_info_to_frame_object (frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/python/py-frame.c:390 #3 0x00000000004ef5be in bootstrap_python_frame_filters (frame=0xe5a760, frame_low=0, frame_high=-1) at gdb/python/py-framefilter.c:1453 #4 0x00000000004ef7a9 in gdbpy_apply_frame_filter ( extlang=0x8857e0 <extension_language_python>, frame=0xe5a760, flags=7, args_type=CLI_SCALAR_VALUES, out=0xf6def0, frame_low=0, frame_high=-1) at gdb/python/py-framefilter.c:1548 #5 0x00000000005f2c5a in apply_ext_lang_frame_filter (frame=0xe5a760, flags=7, args_type=CLI_SCALAR_VALUES, out=0xf6def0, frame_low=0, frame_high=-1) at gdb/extension.c:572 #6 0x00000000005ea896 in backtrace_command_1 (count_exp=0x0, show_locals=0, no_filters=0, from_tty=1) at gdb/stack.c:1834 Examination of the code in frame_info_to_frame_object(), which is in python/py-frame.c, is key to understanding this problem: if (get_prev_frame (frame) == NULL && get_frame_unwind_stop_reason (frame) != UNWIND_NO_REASON && get_next_frame (frame) != NULL) { frame_obj->frame_id = get_frame_id (get_next_frame (frame)); frame_obj->frame_id_is_next = 1; } else { frame_obj->frame_id = get_frame_id (frame); frame_obj->frame_id_is_next = 0; } I will first note that the frame id for frame has not been computed yet. (This was verified by placing a breakpoint on compute_frame_id().) The call to get_prev_frame() causes the the frame id to (eventually) be computed for the previous frame. Here's a backtrace showing how we get there: #0 compute_frame_id (fi=0x10e2810) at gdb/frame.c:496 #1 0x0000000000724a67 in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle (this_frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:1871 #2 0x0000000000725136 in get_prev_frame_always_1 (this_frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:2045 #3 0x000000000072516b in get_prev_frame_always (this_frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:2061 #4 0x000000000072570f in get_prev_frame (this_frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:2303 #5 0x00000000004eb471 in frame_info_to_frame_object (frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/python/py-frame.c:381 For this particular case, we end up in the else clause of the code above which calls get_frame_id (frame). It's at this point that the frame id for frame is computed. Again, here's a backtrace: #0 compute_frame_id (fi=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:496 #1 0x000000000072203d in get_frame_id (fi=0xe5a760) at gdb/frame.c:539 #2 0x00000000004eb50d in frame_info_to_frame_object (frame=0xe5a760) at gdb/python/py-frame.c:390 The test in question, dw2-dup-frame.exp, deliberately creates a broken (cyclic) stack. So, in this instance, the frame id for the prev `frame' will be the same as that for `frame'. But that particular frame id ended up in the stash during the previous frame operation. When, just a few lines later, we compute the frame id for `frame', the id in question is already in the stash, thus triggering the assertion failure. I considered two other solutions to solving this problem: We could prevent get_prev_frame() from being called before get_frame_id() in frame_info_to_frame_object(). (See above for the snippet of code where this happens.) A call to get_frame_id (frame) could be placed ahead of that code snippet above. I have tested this approach and, while it does work, I can't be certain that get_prev_frame() isn't called ahead of stashing the current frame somewhere else in GDB, but in a less obvious way. Another approach is to stash the current frame's id by calling get_frame_id() in get_current_frame(). This approach is conceptually simpler, but when importing a python unwinder, has the unwelcome side effect of causing the unwinder to be called during import. A cleaner looking fix would be to place this code after code corresponding to the "Don't compute the frame id of the current frame yet..." comment in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle(). Sadly, this does not work though; by the time we get to this point, the frame state for the prev frame has been modified just enough to cause an internal error to occur when attempting to compute the (current) frame id for inline frames. (The unexpected failure count increases by roughly 130 failures.) Therefore, I decided to place it as early as possible in get_prev_frame(). gdb/ChangeLog: * frame.c (get_prev_frame): Stash frame id for current frame prior to computing frame id for previous frame.

…binations This adds a test that exposes several problems fixed by earlier patches: #1 - Buffer overrun when host/target formats match, but sizes don't. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00125.html #2 - Missing handling for FR-V FR300. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00117.html #3 - BFD architectures with spaces in their names (v850). https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00108.html #4 - The OS ABI names with spaces issue. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00116.html #5 - Bogus HP/PA long double format. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00122.html #6 - Cris big endian internal error. https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-03/msg00126.html #7 - Several PowerPC bfd archs/machines not handled by gdb. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19797 And hopefully helps catch others in the future. This started out as a test that simply did, gdb -ex "print 1.0L" to exercise #1 above. Then to cover both 32-bit target / 64-bit host and the converse, I thought of having the testcase print the floats twice, once with the architecture set to "i386" and then to "i386:x86-64". This way it wouldn't matter whether gdb was built as 32-bit or a 64-bit program. Then I thought that other archs might have similar host/target floatformat conversion issues as well. Instead of hardcoding some architectures in the test file, I thought we could just iterate over all bfd architectures and OS ABIs supported by the gdb build being tested. This is what then exposed all the other problems listed above... With an --enable-targets=all, this exercises over 14 thousand combinations. If left in a single test file, it all consistenly runs in under a minute on my machine (An Intel i7-4810MQ @ 2.8 MHZ running Fedora 23). Split in 8 chunks, as in this commit, it runs in around 25 seconds, with make -j8. To avoid flooding the gdb.sum file, it avoids calling "pass" on each tested combination/iteration. I'm explicitly not implementing that by passing an empty message to gdb_test / gdb_test_multiple, because I still want a FAIL to be logged in gdb.sum. So instead this puts the internal passes in the gdb.log file, only, prefixed "IPASS:", for internal pass. TBC, if some iteration fails, it'll still show up as FAIL in gdb.sum. If this is an approach that takes on, I can see us extending the common bits to support it for all testcases. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-12-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/all-architectures-0.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-1.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-2.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-3.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-4.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-5.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-6.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures-7.exp: New file. * gdb.base/all-architectures.exp.in: New file.

Nowadays, GDB propagates C++ exceptions across readline using setjmp/longjmp 8952576 ("Propagate GDB/C++ exceptions across readline using sj/lj-based TRY/CATCH") because DWARF-based unwinding can't cross C functions compiled without -fexceptions (see details from the commit above). Unfortunately, toolchains that use SjLj-based C++ exceptions got broken with that fix, because _Unwind_SjLj_Unregister, which is put at the exit of a function, is not executed due to the longjmp added by that commit.

New in v2: - Define PyMem_RawMalloc as PyMem_Malloc for Python < 3.4 and use PyMem_RawMalloc in the code. Since Python 3.4, the callback installed in PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer should return a value allocated with PyMem_RawMalloc instead of PyMem_Malloc. The reason is that PyMem_Malloc must be called with the Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) held, which is not the case in the context where this function is called. PyMem_RawMalloc was introduced for cases like this. In Python 3.6, it looks like they added an assert to verify that PyMem_Malloc was not called without the GIL. The consequence is that typing anything in the python-interactive mode of gdb crashes the process. The same behavior was observed with the official package on Arch Linux as well as with a manual Python build on Ubuntu 14.04. This is what is shown with a debug build of Python 3.6 (the error with a non-debug build is far less clear): (gdb) pi >>> print(1) Fatal Python error: Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL Current thread 0x00007f1459af8780 (most recent call first): [1] 21326 abort ./gdb and the backtrace: #0 0x00007ffff618bc37 in raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff618f028 in abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007ffff6b104d6 in Py_FatalError (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff6ba15b8 "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL") at Python/pylifecycle.c:1457 #3 0x00007ffff6a37a68 in _PyMem_DebugCheckGIL () at Objects/obmalloc.c:1972 #4 0x00007ffff6a3804e in _PyMem_DebugFree (ctx=0x7ffff6e65290 <_PyMem_Debug+48>, ptr=0x24f8830) at Objects/obmalloc.c:1994 #5 0x00007ffff6a38e1d in PyMem_Free (ptr=<optimized out>) at Objects/obmalloc.c:442 #6 0x00007ffff6b866c6 in _PyFaulthandler_Fini () at ./Modules/faulthandler.c:1369 #7 0x00007ffff6b104bd in Py_FatalError (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff6ba15b8 "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL") at Python/pylifecycle.c:1431 #8 0x00007ffff6a37a68 in _PyMem_DebugCheckGIL () at Objects/obmalloc.c:1972 #9 0x00007ffff6a37aa3 in _PyMem_DebugMalloc (ctx=0x7ffff6e65290 <_PyMem_Debug+48>, nbytes=5) at Objects/obmalloc.c:1980 #10 0x00007ffff6a38d91 in PyMem_Malloc (size=<optimized out>) at Objects/obmalloc.c:418 #11 0x000000000064dbe2 in gdbpy_readline_wrapper (sys_stdin=0x7ffff6514640 <_IO_2_1_stdin_>, sys_stdout=0x7ffff6514400 <_IO_2_1_stdout_>, prompt=0x7ffff4d4f7d0 ">>> ") at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-gdb-readline.c:75 The documentation is very clear about it [1] and it was also mentioned in the "What's New In Python 3.4" page [2].

When the gdbpy_ref objects get destroyed, they call Py_DECREF to decrement the reference counter of the python object they hold a reference to. Any time we call into the Python API, we should be holding the GIL. The gdbpy_enter object does that for us in an RAII-fashion. However, if gdbpy_enter is declared after a gdbpy_ref object in a function, gdbpy_enter's destructor will be called (and the GIL will be released) before gdbpy_ref's destructor is called. Therefore, we will end up calling Py_DECREF without holding the GIL. This became obvious with Python 3.6, where memory management functions have asserts to make sure that the GIL is held. This was exposed by tests py-as-string.exp, py-function.exp and py-xmethods. For example: (gdb) p $_as_string(enum_valid) Fatal Python error: Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL Current thread 0x00007f7f7b21c780 (most recent call first): [1] 18678 abort (core dumped) ./gdb -nx testsuite/outputs/gdb.python/py-as-string/py-as-string #0 0x00007ffff618bc37 in raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff618f028 in abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007ffff6b104d6 in Py_FatalError (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff6ba15b8 "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL") at Python/pylifecycle.c:1457 #3 0x00007ffff6a37a68 in _PyMem_DebugCheckGIL () at Objects/obmalloc.c:1972 #4 0x00007ffff6a3804e in _PyMem_DebugFree (ctx=0x7ffff6e65290 <_PyMem_Debug+48>, ptr=0x24f8830) at Objects/obmalloc.c:1994 #5 0x00007ffff6a38e1d in PyMem_Free (ptr=<optimized out>) at Objects/obmalloc.c:442 #6 0x00007ffff6b866c6 in _PyFaulthandler_Fini () at ./Modules/faulthandler.c:1369 #7 0x00007ffff6b104bd in Py_FatalError (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff6ba15b8 "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL") at Python/pylifecycle.c:1431 #8 0x00007ffff6a37a68 in _PyMem_DebugCheckGIL () at Objects/obmalloc.c:1972 #9 0x00007ffff6a3804e in _PyMem_DebugFree (ctx=0x7ffff6e652c0 <_PyMem_Debug+96>, ptr=0x7ffff46b6040) at Objects/obmalloc.c:1994 #10 0x00007ffff6a38f55 in PyObject_Free (ptr=<optimized out>) at Objects/obmalloc.c:503 #11 0x00007ffff6a5f27e in unicode_dealloc (unicode=unicode@entry=0x7ffff46b6040) at Objects/unicodeobject.c:1794 #12 0x00007ffff6a352a9 in _Py_Dealloc (op=0x7ffff46b6040) at Objects/object.c:1786 #13 0x000000000063f28b in gdb_Py_DECREF (op=0x7ffff46b6040) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python-internal.h:192 #14 0x000000000063fa33 in gdbpy_ref_policy::decref (ptr=0x7ffff46b6040) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-ref.h:35 #15 0x000000000063fa77 in gdb::ref_ptr<_object, gdbpy_ref_policy>::~ref_ptr (this=0x7fffffffcdf0, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/common/gdb_ref_ptr.h:91 #16 0x000000000064d8b8 in fnpy_call (gdbarch=0x2b50010, language=0x115d2c0 <c_language_defn>, cookie=0x7ffff46b7468, argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffcf48) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-function.c:145 The fix is to place the gdbpy_enter first in the function.

This commit fixes a "-gdb-set logging redirect on" crash by not handling "logging redirect on" on the fly. Previous discussion here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-01/msg00467.html Code for handling "logging redirect on" on the fly was added here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00202.html Meanwhile, MI gained support for logging, but flipping redirect "on" on the fly was not considered. The result is that this sequence of commands crashes GDB: -gdb-set logging on -gdb-set logging redirect on Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000008dd7bc in gdb_flush (file=0x2a097f0) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/ui-file.c:95 194 file->to_flush (file); (top-gdb) bt #0 0x00000000008dd7bc in gdb_flush(ui_file*) (file=0x2a097f0) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/ui-file.c:95 #1 0x00000000007b5f34 in gdb_wait_for_event(int) (block=0) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/event-loop.c:752 #2 0x00000000007b52b6 in gdb_do_one_event() () at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/event-loop.c:322 #3 0x00000000007b5362 in start_event_loop() () at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/event-loop.c:371 #4 0x000000000082704a in captured_command_loop(void*) (data=0x0) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/main.c:325 #5 0x00000000007b8d7c in catch_errors(int (*)(void*), void*, char*, return_mask) (func=0x827008 <captured_command_loop(void*)>, func_args=0x0, errstring=0x11dee51 "", mask=RETURN_MASK_ALL) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/exceptions.c:236 #6 0x000000000082839b in captured_main(void*) (data=0x7fffffffd820) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/main.c:1148 During symbol reading, cannot get low and high bounds for subprogram DIE at 24065. #7 0x00000000008283c4 in gdb_main(captured_main_args*) (args=0x7fffffffd820) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/main.c:1158 #8 0x0000000000412d4d in main(int, char**) (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffd928) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/cxx-convertion/src/gdb/gdb.c:32 The handling of redirect on the fly is not really a use case we need to handle, IMO.

(htab_remove_elt shouldn't really crash in this case, but that's secondary.) The real problem is that early_data passed to tdesc_use_registers includes regs from a target description that is not the target_desc, which violates its assumptions. The registers in question are the fs_base/gs_base registers, added by amd64_init_abi: tdesc_numbered_register (feature, tdesc_data_segments, AMD64_FSBASE_REGNUM, "fs_base"); tdesc_numbered_register (feature, tdesc_data_segments, AMD64_GSBASE_REGNUM, "gs_base"); and that happens because amd64_linux_init_abi uses amd64_init_abi as helper, but they don't coordinate on which fallback tdesc to use. amd64_init_abi does: if (! tdesc_has_registers (tdesc)) tdesc = tdesc_amd64; and then adds the fs_base/gs_base registers of the "tdesc_amd64" tdesc to the tdesc_arch_data. After amd64_init_abi returns, amd64_linux_init_abi does: if (! tdesc_has_registers (tdesc)) tdesc = tdesc_amd64_linux; tdep->tdesc = tdesc; and we end up tdesc_amd64_linux installed in tdep->tdesc. The fix is to make sure that amd64_linux_init_abi and amd64_init_abi agree on default tdesc, by adding a "default tdesc" parameter to amd64_init_abi, instead of having amd64_init_abi hardcode a default. With this, amd64_init_abi creates the fs_base/gs_base registers using the tdesc_amd64_linux tdesc. Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux, -m64. I don't have an x32 setup handy.

…ior yet A following patch will change the default target_thread_architecture method, like this: struct gdbarch * default_thread_architecture (struct target_ops *ops, ptid_t ptid) { - return target_gdbarch (); + inferior *inf = find_inferior_ptid (ptid); + gdb_assert (inf != NULL); + return inf->gdbarch; } This is because target_gdbarch is really just current_inferior()->gdbarch, and it's wrong to return that architecture when the inferior of the passed in PTID is NOT the current inferior -- the inferior for PTID may be running a different architecture. E.g., a mix of 64-bit and 32-bit inferiors in the same debug session. Doing that change above however exposes a problem in "maint print registers", caught be the testsuite: -PASS: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers +FAIL: gdb.base/maint.exp: maint print registers (GDB internal error) ... gdb/inferior.c:309: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.

This is expected to work, and there's already a hack in get_thread_arch_regcache to make it work. Instead of pilling on hacks in the internal of regcache and target_ops, this commit moves the null_ptid special casing to where it belongs -- higher up in the call chain in the implementation of "maint print registers" & co directly. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-10-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * regcache.c (get_thread_arch_regcache): Remove null_ptid special case.

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.

Target descriptions are allocated lazily, that is fine in GDBserver, but it is not safe to call malloc in gdb_collect in IPA, because we can set a fast tracepoint in malloc, and when the tracepoint is hit, gdb_collect/malloc is called, deadlock or memory corruption may be triggered. #0 0xf7cfc200 in malloc () #1 0xf7efdc07 in operator new(unsigned int) () #2 0xf7ef7636 in allocate_target_description() () #3 0xf7efcbe1 in i386_create_target_description(unsigned long long, bool) () #4 0xf7efb474 in i386_linux_read_description(unsigned long long) () #5 0xf7efb190 in get_ipa_tdesc(int) () #6 0xf7ef9baa in gdb_collect () The fix is to initialize all target descriptions earlier, when the IPA is loaded. In order to guarantee malloc is not called in IPA in gdb_collect, I change the test to set a breakpoint on malloc, if IPA gdb_collect calls malloc, program will hit the breakpoint, and test fail. continue Continuing.

At <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00285.html>, Maciej reported that commit: commit 5cd63fd Date: Wed Oct 4 18:21:10 2017 +0100 Subject: Fix "Remote 'g' packet reply is too long" problems with multiple inferiors made GDB stop working with older stubs. Any attempt to continue execution after the initial connection fails with: [...] Process .../gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/advance/advance created; pid = 2670 Listening on port 2346 target remote [...]:2346 Remote debugging using [...]:2346 Reading symbols from .../lib64/ld.so.1...done.

See `help thread'. ^^^^^^^^^^^ (gdb) Note, thread _2_. There's really only one thread in the inferior (it's still at the entry point), but still GDB added a bogus second thread. The reason GDB started adding a second thread after 5cd63fd is this hunk: + if (event->ptid == null_ptid) + { + const char *thr = strstr (p1 + 1, ";thread:"); + if (thr != NULL) + event->ptid = read_ptid (thr + strlen (";thread:"), + NULL); + else + event->ptid = magic_null_ptid; + } Note the else branch that falls back to magic_null_ptid. We reach that when we process the initial stop reply sent back in response to the the "?"

The testcase added by this commit emulates old gdbserver making use of that. I've compared a testrun at 5cd63fd^ (before regression) with 'current master+patch', against old gdbserver at f8b73d1^. I hacked out --once, and "monitor exit" to be able to test. The results are a bit too unstable to tell accurately, but it looked like there were no regressions. Maciej confirmed this worked for him as well.

../../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.

…l/kernel mode addresses At the moment GDB only handles pointer authentication (pauth) for userspace addresses and if we're debugging a Linux-hosted program. The Linux Kernel can be configured to use pauth instructions for some additional security hardening, but GDB doesn't handle this well. To overcome this limitation, GDB needs a couple things: 1 - The target needs to advertise pauth support. 2 - The hook to remove non-address bits from a pointer needs to be registered in aarch64-tdep.c as opposed to aarch64-linux-tdep.c. There is a patch for QEMU that addresses the first point, and it makes QEMU's gdbstub expose a couple more pauth mask registers, so overall we will have up to 4 pauth masks (2 masks or 4 masks): pauth_dmask pauth_cmask pauth_dmask_high pauth_cmask_high pauth_dmask and pauth_cmask are the masks used to remove pauth signatures from userspace addresses. pauth_dmask_high and pauth_cmask_high masks are used to remove pauth signatures from kernel addresses. The second point is easily addressed by moving code around. When debugging a Linux Kernel built with pauth with an unpatched GDB, we get the following backtrace: #0 __fput (file=0xffff0000c17a6400) at /repos/linux/fs/file_table.c:296 #1 0xffff8000082bd1f0 in ____fput (work=<optimized out>) at /repos/linux/fs/file_table.c:348 #2 0x30008000080ade30 [PAC] in ??

In some cases GDB will fail when attempting to complete a command that involves a rust symbol, the failure can manifest as a crash. The problem is caused by the completion_match_for_lcd object being left containing invalid data during calls to cp_symbol_name_matches_1. The first question to address is why we are calling a C++ support function when handling a rust symbol. That's due to GDB's auto language detection for msymbols, in some cases GDB can't tell if a symbol is a rust symbol, or a C++ symbol. The test application contains symbols for functions which are statically linked in from various rust support libraries. There's no DWARF for these symbols, so all GDB has is the msymbols built from the ELF symbol table. Here's the problematic symbol that leads to our crash: mangled: _ZN4core3str21_$LT$impl$u20$str$GT$5parse17h5111d2d6a50d22bdE demangled: core::str::<impl str>::parse As an msymbol this is initially created with language auto, then GDB eventually calls symbol_find_demangled_name, which loops over all languages calling language_defn::sniff_from_mangled_name, the first language that can demangle the symbol gets assigned as the language for that symbol. Unfortunately, there's overlap in the mangled symbol names, some (legacy) rust symbols can be demangled as both rust and C++, see cplus_demangle in libiberty/cplus-dem.c where this is mentioned. And so, because we check the C++ language before we check for rust, then the msymbol is (incorrectly) given the C++ language. Now it's true that is some cases we might be able to figure out that a demangled symbol is not actually a valid C++ symbol, for example, in our case, the construct '::<impl str>::' is not, I believe, valid in a C++ symbol, we could look for ':<' and '>:' and refuse to accept this as a C++ symbol. However, I'm not sure it is always possible to tell that a demangled symbol is rust or C++, so, I think, we have to accept that some times we will get this language detection wrong. If we accept that we can't fix the symbol language detection 100% of the time, then we should make sure that GDB doesn't crash when it gets the language wrong, that is what this commit addresses. In our test case the user tries to complete a symbol name like this: (gdb) complete break pars This results in GDB trying to find all symbols that match 'pars', eventually we consider our problematic symbol, and we end up with a call stack that looks like this: #0 0x0000000000f3c6bd in strncmp_iw_with_mode #1 0x0000000000706d8d in cp_symbol_name_matches_1 #2 0x0000000000706fa4 in cp_symbol_name_matches #3 0x0000000000df3c45 in compare_symbol_name #4 0x0000000000df3c91 in completion_list_add_name #5 0x0000000000df3f1d in completion_list_add_msymbol #6 0x0000000000df4c94 in default_collect_symbol_completion_matches_break_on #7 0x0000000000658c08 in language_defn::collect_symbol_completion_matches #8 0x0000000000df54c9 in collect_symbol_completion_matches #9 0x00000000009d98fb in linespec_complete_function #10 0x00000000009d99f0 in complete_linespec_component #11 0x00000000009da200 in linespec_complete #12 0x00000000006e4132 in complete_address_and_linespec_locations #13 0x00000000006e4ac3 in location_completer In cp_symbol_name_matches_1 we enter a loop, this loop repeatedly tries to match the demangled problematic symbol name against the user supplied text ('pars'). Each time around the loop another component of the symbol name is stripped off, thus, we check 'pars' against these options: core::str::<impl str>::parse str::<impl str>::parse <impl str>::parse parse As soon as we get a match the cp_symbol_name_matches_1 exits its loop and returns. In our case, when we're looking for 'pars', the match occurs on the last iteration of the loop, when we are comparing to 'parse'. Now the problem here is that cp_symbol_name_matches_1 uses the strncmp_iw_with_mode, and inside strncmp_iw_with_mode we allow for skipping over template parameters. This allows GDB to match the symbol name 'foo<int>(int,int)' if the user supplies 'foo(int,'. Inside strncmp_iw_with_mode GDB will record any template arguments that it has skipped over inside the completion_match_for_lcd object that is passed in as an argument. And so, when GDB tries to match against '<impl str>::parse', the first thing it sees is '<impl str>', GDB assumes this is a template argument and records this as a skipped region within the completion_match_for_lcd object. After '<impl str>' GDB sees a ':' character, which doesn't match with the 'pars' the user supplied, so strncmp_iw_with_mode returns a value indicating a non-match. GDB then removes the '<impl str>' component from the symbol name and tries again, this time comparing to 'parse', which does match. Having found a match, then in cp_symbol_name_matches_1 we record the match string, and the full symbol name within the completion_match_result object, and return. The problem here is that the skipped region, the '<impl str>' that we recorded in the penultimate loop iteration was never discarded, its still there in our returned result. If we look at what the pointers held in the completion_match_result that cp_symbol_name_matches_1 returns, this is what we see: core::str::<impl str>::parse | \________/ | | | '--- completion match string | '---skip range '--- full symbol name When GDB calls completion_match_for_lcd::finish, GDB tries to create a string using the completion match string (parse), but excluding the skip range, as the stored skip range is before the start of the completion match string, then GDB tries to do some weird string creation, which will cause GDB to crash. The reason we don't often see this problem in C++ is that for C++ symbols there is always some non-template text before the template argument. This non-template text means GDB is likely to either match the symbol, or reject the symbol without storing a skip range. However, notice, I did say, we don't often see this problem. Once I understood the issue, I was able to reproduce the crash using a pure C++ example: template<typename S> struct foo { template<typename T> foo (int p1, T a) { s = 0; } S s; }; int main () { foo<int> obj (2.3, 0); return 0; } Then in GDB: (gdb) complete break foo(int The problem here is that the C++ symbol for the constructor looks like this: foo<int>::foo<double>(int, double) When GDB enters cp_symbol_name_matches_1 the symbols it examines are: foo<int>::foo<double>(int, double) foo<double>(int, double) The first iteration of the loop will match the 'foo', then add the '<int>' template argument will be added as a skip range. When GDB find the ':' after the '<int>' the first iteration of the loop fails to match, GDB removes the 'foo<int>::' component, and starts the second iteration of the loop. Again, GDB matches the 'foo', and now adds '<double>' as a skip region. After that the '(int' successfully matches, and so the second iteration of the loop succeeds, but, once again we left the '<int>' in place as a skip region, even though this occurs before the start of our match string, and this will cause GDB to crash. This problem was reported to the mailing list, and a solution discussed in this thread: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-January/195166.html The solution proposed here is similar to one proposed by the original bug reported, but implemented in a different location within GDB. Instead of placing the fix in strncmp_iw_with_mode, I place the fix in cp_symbol_name_matches_1. I believe this is a better location as it is this function that implements the loop, and it is this loop, which repeatedly calls strncmp_iw_with_mode, that should be resetting the result object state (I believe). What I have done is add an assert to strncmp_iw_with_mode that the incoming result object is empty. I've also added some other asserts in related code, in completion_match_for_lcd::mark_ignored_range, I make some basic assertions about the incoming range pointers, and in completion_match_for_lcd::finish I also make some assertions about how the skip ranges relate to the match pointer. There's two new tests. The original rust example that was used in the initial bug report, and a C++ test. The rust example depends on which symbols are pulled in from the rust libraries, so it is possible that, at some future date, the problematic symbol will disappear from this test program. The C++ test should be more reliable, as this only depends on symbols from within the C++ source code. Since I originally posted this patch to the mailing list, the following patch has been merged: commit 6e7eef7 Date: Sun Mar 19 09:13:10 2023 -0600 Use rust_demangle to fix a crash This solves the problem of a rust symbol ending up in the C++ specific code by changing the order languages are sorted. However, this new commit doesn't address the issue in the C++ code which was fixed with this commit. Given that the C++ issue is real, and has a reproducer, I'm still going to merge this fix. I've left the discussion of rust in this commit message as I originally wrote it, but it should be read within the context of GDB prior to commit 6e7eef7.

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 () =================================================================

Commit b5661ff ("gdb: fix possible use-after-free when executing commands") attempted to fix possible use-after-free in case command redefines itself. Commit 37e5833 ("gdb: fix command lookup in execute_command ()") updated the previous fix to handle subcommands as well by using the original command string to lookup the command again after its execution. This fixed the test in gdb.base/define.exp but it turned out that it does not work (at least) for "target remote" and "target extended-remote". The problem is that the command buffer P passed to execute_command () gets overwritten in dont_repeat () while executing "target remote" command itself: #0 dont_repeat () at top.c:822 #1 0x000055555730982a in target_preopen (from_tty=1) at target.c:2483 #2 0x000055555711e911 in remote_target::open_1 (name=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1, extended_p=0) at remote.c:5946 #3 0x000055555711d577 in remote_target::open (name=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1) at remote.c:5272 #4 0x00005555573062f2 in open_target (args=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1, command=0x5555589d0490) at target.c:853 #5 0x0000555556ad22fa in cmd_func (cmd=0x5555589d0490, args=0x55555881c7fe ":1234", from_tty=1) at cli/cli-decode.c:2737 #6 0x00005555573487fd in execute_command (p=0x55555881c802 "4", from_tty=1) at top.c:688 Therefore the second call to lookup_cmd () at line 697 fails to find command because the original command string is gone. This commit addresses this particular problem by creating a *copy* of original command string for the sole purpose of using it after command execution to lookup the command again. It may not be the most efficient way but it's safer given that command buffer is shared and overwritten in hard-to-foresee situations. Tested on x86_64-linux.

(/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>

While working on a later patch, which changes gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp, I noticed that sometimes I would hit this assert: x86_linux_update_debug_registers: Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed. I eventually tracked it down to a combination of schedule-multiple mode being on, target-non-stop being off, follow-fork-mode being set to child, and some bad timing. The failing case is pretty simple, a single threaded application performs a vfork, the child process then execs some other application while the parent process (once the vfork child has completed its exec) just exits. As best I understand things, here's what happens when things go wrong: 1. The parent process performs a vfork, GDB sees the VFORKED event and creates an inferior and thread for the vfork child, 2. GDB resumes the vfork child process. As schedule-multiple is on and target-non-stop is off, this is translated into a request to start all processes (see user_visible_resume_ptid), 3. In the linux-nat layer we spot that one of the threads we are about to start is a vfork parent, and so don't start that thread (see resume_lwp), the vfork child thread is resumed, 4. GDB waits for the next event, eventually entering linux_nat_target::wait, which in turn calls linux_nat_wait_1, 5. In linux_nat_wait_1 we eventually call resume_stopped_resumed_lwps, this should restart threads that have stopped but don't actually have anything interesting to report. 6. Unfortunately, resume_stopped_resumed_lwps doesn't check for vfork parents like resume_lwp does, so at this point the vfork parent is resumed. This feels like the start of the bug, and this is where I'm proposing to fix things, but, resuming the vfork parent isn't the worst thing in the world because.... 7. As the vfork child is still alive the kernel holds the vfork parent stopped, 8. Eventually the child performs its exec and GDB is sent and EXECD event. However, because the parent is resumed, as soon as the child performs its exec the vfork parent also sends a VFORK_DONE event to GDB, 9. Depending on timing both of these events might seem to arrive in GDB at the same time. Normally GDB expects to see the EXECD or EXITED/SIGNALED event from the vfork child before getting the VFORK_DONE in the parent. We know this because it is as a result of the EXECD/EXITED/SIGNALED that GDB detaches from the parent (see handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit for details). Further the comment in target/waitstatus.h on TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE indicates that when we remain attached to the child (not the parent) we should not expect to see a VFORK_DONE, 10. If both events arrive at the same time then GDB will randomly choose one event to handle first, in some cases this will be the VFORK_DONE. As described above, upon seeing a VFORK_DONE GDB expects that (a) the vfork child has finished, however, in this case this is not completely true, the child has finished, but GDB has not processed the event associated with the completion yet, and (b) upon seeing a VFORK_DONE GDB assumes we are remaining attached to the parent, and so resumes the parent process, 11. GDB now handles the EXECD event. In our case we are detaching from the parent, so GDB calls target_detach (see handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit), 12. While this has been going on the vfork parent is executing, and might even exit, 13. In linux_nat_target::detach the first thing we do is stop all threads in the process we're detaching from, the result of the stop request will be cached on the lwp_info object, 14. In our case the vfork parent has exited though, so when GDB waits for the thread, instead of a stop due to signal, we instead get a thread exited status, 15. Later in the detach process we try to resume the threads just prior to making the ptrace call to actually detach (see detach_one_lwp), as part of the process to resume a thread we try to touch some registers within the thread, and before doing this GDB asserts that the thread is stopped, 16. An exited thread is not classified as stopped, and so the assert triggers! So there's two bugs I see here. The first, and most critical one here is in step #6. I think that resume_stopped_resumed_lwps should not resume a vfork parent, just like resume_lwp doesn't resume a vfork parent. With this change in place the vfork parent will remain stopped in step instead GDB will only see the EXECD/EXITED/SIGNALLED event. The problems in #9 and #10 are therefore skipped and we arrive at #11, handling the EXECD event. As the parent is still stopped #12 doesn't apply, and in #13 when we try to stop the process we will see that it is already stopped, there's no risk of the vfork parent exiting before we get to this point. And finally, in #15 we are safe to poke the process registers because it will not have exited by this point. However, I did mention two bugs. The second bug I've not yet managed to actually trigger, but I'm convinced it must exist: if we forget vforks for a moment, in step #13 above, when linux_nat_target::detach is called, we first try to stop all threads in the process GDB is detaching from. If we imagine a multi-threaded inferior with many threads, and GDB running in non-stop mode, then, if the user tries to detach there is a chance that thread could exit just as linux_nat_target::detach is entered, in which case we should be able to trigger the same assert. But, like I said, I've not (yet) managed to trigger this second bug, and even if I could, the fix would not belong in this commit, so I'm pointing this out just for completeness. There's no test included in this commit. In a couple of commits time I will expand gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp which is when this bug would be exposed. Unfortunately there are at least two other bugs (separate from the ones discussed above) that need fixing first, these will be fixed in the next commits before the gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp test is expanded. If you do want to reproduce this failure then you will for certainly need to run the gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp test in a loop as the failures are all very timing sensitive. I've found that running multiple copies in parallel makes the failure more likely to appear, I usually run ~6 copies in parallel and expect to see a failure after within 10mins.

Like the last few commit, this fixes yet another vfork related issue. Like the commit titled: gdb: don't restart vfork parent while waiting for child to finish which addressed a case in linux-nat where we would try to resume a vfork parent, this commit addresses a very similar case, but this time occurring in infrun.c. Just like with that previous commit, this bug results in the assert: x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: x86_linux_update_debug_registers: Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed. In this case the issue occurs when target-non-stop is on, but non-stop is off, and again, schedule-multiple is on. As with the previous commit, GDB is in follow-fork-mode child. If you have not done so, it is worth reading the earlier commit as many of the problems leading to the failure are the same, they just appear in a different part of GDB. Here are the steps leading to the assertion failure: 1. The user performs a 'next' over a vfork, GDB stop in the vfork child, 2. As we are planning to follow the child GDB sets the vfork_parent and vfork_child member variables in the two inferiors, the thread_waiting_for_vfork_done member is left as nullptr, that member is only used when GDB is planning to follow the parent inferior, 3. The user does 'continue', our expectation is that the vfork child should resume, and once that process has exited or execd, GDB should detach from the vfork parent. As a result of the 'continue' GDB eventually enters the proceed function, 4. In proceed we selected a ptid_t to resume, because schedule-multiple is on we select minus_one_ptid (see user_visible_resume_ptid), 5. As GDB is running in all-stop on top of non-stop mode, in the proceed function we iterate over all threads that match the resume ptid, which turns out to be all threads, and call proceed_resume_thread_checked. One of the threads we iterate over is the vfork parent thread, 6. As the thread passed to proceed_resume_thread_checked doesn't match any of the early return conditions, GDB will set the thread resumed, 7. As we are resuming one thread at a time, this thread is seen by the lower layers (e.g. linux-nat) as the "event thread", which means we don't apply any of the checks, e.g. is this thread a vfork parent, instead we assume that GDB core knows what it's doing, and linux-nat will resume the thread, we have now incorrectly set running the vfork parent thread when this thread should be waiting for the vfork child to complete, 8. Back in the proceed function GDB continues to iterate over all threads, and now (correctly) resumes the vfork child thread, 8. As the vfork child is still alive the kernel holds the vfork parent stopped, 9. Eventually the child performs its exec and GDB is sent and EXECD event. However, because the parent is resumed, as soon as the child performs its exec the vfork parent also sends a VFORK_DONE event to GDB, 10. Depending on timing both of these events might seem to arrive in GDB at the same time. Normally GDB expects to see the EXECD or EXITED/SIGNALED event from the vfork child before getting the VFORK_DONE in the parent. We know this because it is as a result of the EXECD/EXITED/SIGNALED that GDB detaches from the parent (see handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit for details). Further the comment in target/waitstatus.h on TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE indicates that when we remain attached to the child (not the parent) we should not expect to see a VFORK_DONE, 11. If both events arrive at the same time then GDB will randomly choose one event to handle first, in some cases this will be the VFORK_DONE. As described above, upon seeing a VFORK_DONE GDB expects that (a) the vfork child has finished, however, in this case this is not completely true, the child has finished, but GDB has not processed the event associated with the completion yet, and (b) upon seeing a VFORK_DONE GDB assumes we are remaining attached to the parent, and so resumes the parent process, 12. GDB now handles the EXECD event. In our case we are detaching from the parent, so GDB calls target_detach (see handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit), 13. While this has been going on the vfork parent is executing, and might even exit, 14. In linux_nat_target::detach the first thing we do is stop all threads in the process we're detaching from, the result of the stop request will be cached on the lwp_info object, 15. In our case the vfork parent has exited though, so when GDB waits for the thread, instead of a stop due to signal, we instead get a thread exited status, 16. Later in the detach process we try to resume the threads just prior to making the ptrace call to actually detach (see detach_one_lwp), as part of the process to resume a thread we try to touch some registers within the thread, and before doing this GDB asserts that the thread is stopped, 17. An exited thread is not classified as stopped, and so the assert triggers! Just like with the earlier commit, the fix is to spot the vfork parent status of the thread, and not resume such threads. Where the earlier commit fixed this in linux-nat, in this case I think the fix should live in infrun.c, in proceed_resume_thread_checked. This function already has a similar check to not resume the vfork parent in the case where we are planning to follow the vfork parent, I propose adding a similar case that checks for the vfork parent when we plan to follow the vfork child. This new check will mean that at step #6 above GDB doesn't try to resume the vfork parent thread, which prevents the VFORK_DONE from ever arriving. Once GDB sees the EXECD/EXITED/SIGNALLED event from the vfork child GDB will detach from the parent. There's no test included in this commit. In a subsequent commit I will expand gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp which is when this bug would be exposed. If you do want to reproduce this failure then you will for certainly need to run the gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp test in a loop as the failures are all very timing sensitive. I've found that running multiple copies in parallel makes the failure more likely to appear, I usually run ~6 copies in parallel and expect to see a failure after within 10mins.

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

After running a number of programs under Windows gdb and detaching them, I typed run in gdb, and got a hang, here: (top-gdb) bt #0 sharing_input_terminal (pid=4672) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/mingw-hdep.c:388 #1 0x00007ff71a2d8678 in sharing_input_terminal (inf=0x23bf23dafb0) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/inflow.c:269 #2 0x00007ff71a2d887b in child_terminal_save_inferior (self=0x23bf23de060) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/inflow.c:423 #3 0x00007ff71a2c80c0 in inf_child_target::terminal_save_inferior (this=0x23bf23de060) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/inf-child.c:111 #4 0x00007ff71a429c0f in target_terminal_is_ours_kind (desired_state=target_terminal_state::is_ours_for_output) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/target.c:1037 #5 0x00007ff71a429e02 in target_terminal::ours_for_output () at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/target.c:1094 #6 0x00007ff71a2ccc8e in post_create_inferior (from_tty=0) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/infcmd.c:245 #7 0x00007ff71a2cd431 in run_command_1 (args=0x0, from_tty=0, run_how=RUN_NORMAL) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/infcmd.c:502 #8 0x00007ff71a2cd58b in run_command (args=0x0, from_tty=0) at /home/pedro/gdb/src/gdb/infcmd.c:527 The problem is that the loop around GetConsoleProcessList looped forever, because there were exactly 10 processes to return. GetConsoleProcessList's documentation says: If the buffer is too small to hold all the valid process identifiers, the return value is the required number of array elements. The function will have stored no identifiers in the buffer. In this situation, use the return value to allocate a buffer that is large enough to store the entire list and call the function again. In this case, the buffer wasn't too small, it was exactly the right size, so we should have broken out of the loop. We didn't due to a "<" check that should have been "<=". That is fixed by this patch. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> Change-Id: I14e4909f2ac2fa83d0d9b6e64418b5831ac4e4e3

This commit fixes an issue that was discovered while writing the tests for the previous commit. I noticed that, when GDB restarts an inferior, the executable_changed event would trigger twice. The first notification would originate from: #0 exec_file_attach (filename=0x4046680 "/tmp/hello.x", from_tty=0) at ../../src/gdb/exec.c:513 #1 0x00000000006f3adb in reopen_exec_file () at ../../src/gdb/corefile.c:122 #2 0x0000000000e6a3f2 in generic_mourn_inferior () at ../../src/gdb/target.c:3682 #3 0x0000000000995121 in inf_child_target::mourn_inferior (this=0x2fe95c0 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>) at ../../src/gdb/inf-child.c:192 #4 0x0000000000995cff in inf_ptrace_target::mourn_inferior (this=0x2fe95c0 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>) at ../../src/gdb/inf-ptrace.c:125 #5 0x0000000000a32472 in linux_nat_target::mourn_inferior (this=0x2fe95c0 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>) at ../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:3609 #6 0x0000000000e68a40 in target_mourn_inferior (ptid=...) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:2761 #7 0x0000000000a323ec in linux_nat_target::kill (this=0x2fe95c0 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>) at ../../src/gdb/linux-nat.c:3593 #8 0x0000000000e64d1c in target_kill () at ../../src/gdb/target.c:924 #9 0x00000000009a19bc in kill_if_already_running (from_tty=1) at ../../src/gdb/infcmd.c:328 #10 0x00000000009a1a6f in run_command_1 (args=0x0, from_tty=1, run_how=RUN_STOP_AT_MAIN) at ../../src/gdb/infcmd.c:381 #11 0x00000000009a20a5 in start_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at ../../src/gdb/infcmd.c:527 #12 0x000000000068dc5d in do_simple_func (args=0x0, from_tty=1, c=0x35c7200) at ../../src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:95 While the second originates from: #0 exec_file_attach (filename=0x3d7a1d0 "/tmp/hello.x", from_tty=0) at ../../src/gdb/exec.c:513 #1 0x0000000000dfe525 in reread_symbols (from_tty=1) at ../../src/gdb/symfile.c:2517 #2 0x00000000009a1a98 in run_command_1 (args=0x0, from_tty=1, run_how=RUN_STOP_AT_MAIN) at ../../src/gdb/infcmd.c:398 #3 0x00000000009a20a5 in start_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at ../../src/gdb/infcmd.c:527 #4 0x000000000068dc5d in do_simple_func (args=0x0, from_tty=1, c=0x35c7200) at ../../src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:95 In the first case the call to exec_file_attach first passes through reopen_exec_file. The reopen_exec_file performs a modification time check on the executable file, and only calls exec_file_attach if the executable has changed on disk since it was last loaded. However, in the second case things work a little differently. In this case GDB is really trying to reread the debug symbol. As such, we iterate over the objfiles list, and for each of those we check the modification time, if the file on disk has changed then we reload the debug symbols from that file. However, there is an additional check, if the objfile has the same name as the executable then we will call exec_file_attach, but we do so without checking the cached modification time that indicates when the executable was last reloaded, as a result, we reload the executable twice. In this commit I propose that reread_symbols be changed to unconditionally call reopen_exec_file before performing the objfile iteration. This will ensure that, if the executable has changed, then the executable will be reloaded, however, if the executable has already been recently reloaded, we will not reload it for a second time. After handling the executable, GDB can then iterate over the objfiles list and reload them in the normal way. With this done I now see the executable reloaded only once when GDB restarts an inferior, which means I can remove the kfail that I added to the gdb.python/py-exec-file.exp test in the previous commit.

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.

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.

I noticed that on an Ubuntu 20.04 system, after a following patch ("Step over clone syscall w/ breakpoint, TARGET_WAITKIND_THREAD_CLONED"), the gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp was passing cleanly, but still, we'd end up with four new unexpected GDB core dumps: === gdb Summary === # of unexpected core files 4 # of expected passes 48 That said patch is making the pre-existing gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp testcase (almost silently) expose a latent problem in gdb/linux-nat.c, resulting in a GDB crash when: #1 - a non-leader thread execs #2 - the post-exec program stops somewhere #3 - you kill the inferior Instead of #3 directly, the testcase just returns, which ends up in gdb_exit, tearing down GDB, which kills the inferior, and is thus equivalent to #3 above.

The root of the problem is that when a non-leader LWP execs, it just changes its tid to the tgid, replacing the pre-exec leader thread, becoming the new leader. There's no thread exit event for the execing thread. It's as if the old pre-exec LWP vanishes without trace. The ptrace man page says: "PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC (since Linux 2.5.46) Stop the tracee at the next execve(2). A waitpid(2) by the tracer will return a status value such that status>>8 == (SIGTRAP | (PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC<<8)) If the execing thread is not a thread group leader, the thread ID is reset to thread group leader's ID before this stop. Since Linux 3.0, the former thread ID can be retrieved with PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG." When the core of GDB processes an exec events, it deletes all the threads of the inferior. But, that is too late -- deleting the thread does not delete the corresponding LWP, so we end leaving the pre-exec non-leader LWP stale in the LWP list. That's what leads to the crash above -- linux_nat_target::kill iterates over all LWPs, and after the patch in question, that code will look for the corresponding thread_info for each LWP. For the pre-exec non-leader LWP still listed, won't find one. This patch fixes it, by deleting the pre-exec non-leader LWP (and thread) from the LWP/thread lists as soon as we get an exec event out of ptrace. GDBserver does not need an equivalent fix, because it is already doing this, as side effect of mourning the pre-exec process, in gdbserver/linux-low.cc: else if (event == PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC && cs.report_exec_events) { ... /* Delete the execing process and all its threads. */ mourn (proc); switch_to_thread (nullptr); The crash with gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp is not observable on newer systems, which postdate the glibc change to move "libpthread.so" internals to "libc.so.6", because right after the exec, GDB traps a load event for "libc.so.6", which leads to GDB trying to open libthread_db for the post-exec inferior, and, on such systems that succeeds. When we load libthread_db, we call linux_stop_and_wait_all_lwps, which, as the name suggests, stops all lwps, and then waits to see their stops. While doing this, GDB detects that the pre-exec stale LWP is gone, and deletes it. If we use "catch exec" to stop right at the exec before the "libc.so.6" load event ever happens, and issue "kill" right there, then GDB crashes on newer systems as well. So instead of tweaking gdb.threads/step-over-exec.exp to cover the fix, add a new gdb.threads/threads-after-exec.exp testcase that uses "catch exec". The test also uses the new "maint info linux-lwps" command if testing on Linux native, which also exposes the stale LWP problem with an unfixed GDB. Also tweak a comment in infrun.c:follow_exec referring to how linux-nat.c used to behave, as it would become stale otherwise.

Running the gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit-while-stop-all-threads.exp testcase added later in the series against gdbserver, after the TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED fix from the following patch, would run into an infinite loop in stop_all_threads, leading to a timeout: FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-thread-exit-while-stop-all-threads.exp: displaced-stepping=off: target-non-stop=on: iter 0: continue (timeout) The is really a latent bug, and it is about the fact that stop_all_threads stops listening to events from a target as soon as it sees a TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, ignoring that TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED may be delayed. handle_no_resumed knows how to handle delayed no-resumed events, but stop_all_threads was never taught to. In more detail, here's what happens with that testcase: #1 - Multiple threads report breakpoint hits to gdb. #2 - gdb picks one events, and it's for thread 1. All other stops are left pending. thread 1 needs to move past a breakpoint, so gdb stops all threads to start an inline step over for thread 1. While stopping threads, some of the threads that were still running report events that are also left pending. #2 - gdb steps thread 1 #3 - Thread 1 exits while stepping (it steps over an exit syscall), gdbserver reports thread exit for thread 1 #4 - Thread 1 was the last resumed thread, so gdbserver also reports no-resumed: [remote] Notification received: Stop:w0;p3445d0.3445d3 [remote] Sending packet: $vStopped#55 [remote] Packet received: N [remote] Sending packet: $vStopped#55 [remote] Packet received: OK #5 - gdb processes the thread exit for thread 1, finishes the step over and restarts threads. #6 - gdb picks the next event to process out of one of the resumed threads with pending events: [infrun] random_resumed_with_pending_wait_status: Found 32 events, selecting #11 #7 - This is again a breakpoint hit and the breakpoint needs to be stepped over too, so gdb starts a step-over dance again. #8 - We reach stop_all_threads, which finds that some threads need to be stopped. #9 - wait_one finally consumes the no-resumed event queue by #4. Seeing this, wait_one disable target async, to stop listening for events out of the remote target. #10 - We still haven't seen all the stops expected, so stop_all_threads tries another iteration. #11 - Because the remote target is no longer async, and there are no other targets, wait_one return no-resumed immediately without polling the remote target. #12 - We still haven't seen all the stops expected, so stop_all_threads tries another iteration. goto #11, looping forever. Fix this by explicitly enabling/re-enabling target async on targets that can async, before waiting for stops.

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.

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.

The problem was caused by three lines like this one: thread_info *thr = parse_thread_id (std::string (t.get_value ()).c_str (), &tmptok); After parsing the thread-id TMPTOK would be left pointing into the temporary string which had been created on this line. When on the next line we did this: gdb_assert (*tmptok == '\0'); The value of *TMPTOK is undefined. Fix this by creating the std::string earlier in the scope. Now the contents of the string will remain valid when we check *TMPTOK. The address sanitizer issue is now resolved.
