The gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp testcase sometimes fails like so:
Running /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp: inf1_how=attach: inf2_how=attach: stop with control-c (SIGINT)
It's easier to reproduce if you stress the machine at the same time, like e.g.:
$ stress -c 24
Looking at gdb.log, we see:

If you look at the testcase's sources, you'll see that the intention
is to resumes the program with "continue", wait to see a few of those
"pid=..., count=..." lines, and then interrupt the program with
Ctrl-C. But somehow, that resulted in GDB printing "Quit", instead of
the Ctrl-C stopping the program with SIGINT.
Here's what is happening:
#1 - those "pid=..., count=..." lines we see above weren't actually
output by the inferior after it has been continued (see #1).
Note that "inf1_how" and "inf2_how" are "attach". What happened
is that those "pid=..., count=..." lines were output by the
inferiors _before_ they were attached to. We see them at that
point instead of earlier, because that's where the testcase
reads from the inferiors' spawn_ids.
#2 - The testcase mistakenly thinks those "pid=..., count=..." lines
happened after the continue was processed by GDB, meaning it has
waited enough, and so sends the Ctrl-C. GDB hasn't yet passed
the terminal to the inferior, so the Ctrl-C results in that
Quit.
The fix here is twofold:
#1 - flush inferior output right after attaching
#2 - consume the "Continuing" printed by "continue", indicating the
inferior has the terminal. This is the same as done throughout
the testsuite to handle this exact problem of sending Ctrl-C too
soon.

I build gdb without xml support using --without-expat, and ran into:
...
(gdb) target remote | vgdb --wait=2 --max-invoke-ms=2500 --pid=22032^M
Remote debugging using | vgdb --wait=2 --max-invoke-ms=2500 --pid=22032^M

...

Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 560 bytes, got 800 bytes): ...^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/valgrind-infcall.exp: p gdb_test_infcall ()
...
After googling the error message with context valgrind gdbserver, I found
indications that the Remote 'g' packet reply error is due to missing xml
support.
And here ( https://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core-adv.html ) I
found:
...
GDB version needed for ARM and PPC32/64.
You must use a GDB version which is able to read XML target description sent
by a gdbserver. This is the standard setup if GDB was configured and built
with the "expat" library. If your GDB was not configured with XML support, it
will report an error message when using the "target" command. Debugging will
not work because GDB will then not be able to fetch the registers from the
Valgrind gdbserver.
...
So I guess I'm running into the same problem for x86_64.
Fix this by skipping all gdb.base/valgrind-*.exp tests if xml support is not
available. Although only the gdb.base/valgrind-infcall*.exp produce fails,
the Remote 'g' packet reply error occurs in all tests, so it seems prudent to
disable them all.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

With a gdb build using python 2.7, I run into:
...
(gdb) python \
gdb.events.breakpoint_modified.connect(lambda bp: print(bp.enabled))^M
File "<string>", line 1^M
gdb.events.breakpoint_modified.connect(lambda bp: print(bp.enabled))^M

SyntaxError: invalid syntax^M
Error while executing Python code.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-breakpoint.exp: test_bkpt_auto_disable: \

...
This is caused by the following:
- a lambda function body needs to be an expression
- in python 2, print is a statement, while in python 3 it's a function
- a function call is an expression, and a statement is not.
Fix this by defining a function print_bp_enabled:
...
def print_bp_enabled (bp):
print (bp.enabled)
end
...
and using that instead.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

With a gdb configured to be somewhat minimal, while still supporting python:
...
$ gdb --configuration
This GDB was configured as follows:

and using gcc 4.8 to build gdb (causing std::thread not to be used due to
PR28318) I ran into:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: start inner gdb

(xgdb) FAIL: gdb.gdb/python-helper.exp: hit breakpoint in inner gdb (timeout)
...
The problem is that the regexp expects "hit Breakpoint $decimal". The "hit"
part is missing.
The "hit" is printed by maybe_print_thread_hit_breakpoint, when
show_thread_that_caused_stop returns true:
...
int
show_thread_that_caused_stop (void)
{
return highest_thread_num > 1;
}
...
Apparently, that's not the case.
Fix this by removing "hit" from the regexp, making the regexp more similar to
what is used in say, continue_to_breakpoint.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb: use libbacktrace to create a better backtrace for fatal signals
The build of GDB was broken iff, the execinfo backtrace API is not
available, and, libbacktrace is either disabled, or not usable. In
this case you'll see build errors like this:
CXX bt-utils.o
/home/username/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/bt-utils.c: In function 'void gdb_internal_backtrace()':

gdb_internal_backtrace_1 ();
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This commit fixes the issue by guarding the call to
gdb_internal_backtrace_1 with '#ifdef GDB_PRINT_INTERNAL_BACKTRACE',
which is only defined when one of the backtrace libraries are
available.

gdb: print backtrace for internal error/warning
I included some references to 'stderr', which, it was pointed out,
would be better written as 'standard error stream'. See:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-September/182225.html
This commit replaces the two instances of 'stderr' that I introduced.

In a recent commit I used 'manor' in some comments rather than
'manner'. This commit fixes those two mistakes.
I also looked through the gdb/ tree and found one additional instance
of this mistake that this commit also fixes.

For DWARF revision 4 and earlier, display_debug_lines_decoded
populates the file_table array with entries read from .debug_line
after the directory table. file_table[0] contains the first entry.
DWARF rev 4 line number programs index this entry as file number one.
DWARF revision 5 changes .debug_line format quite extensively, and in
particular gives file number zero a meaning.

process_initial_stop_replies
The following scenario hangs:
- maint set target-non-stop on
- `gdbserver --attach`
- a multi-threaded program
For example:
Terminal 1:
$ gnome-calculator&
[1] 495731
$ ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once --attach :1234 495731
Attached; pid = 495731
Listening on port 1234
Terminal 2:
$ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory /usr/bin/gnome-calculator -ex "maint set target-non-stop on" -ex "tar rem :1234"
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/gnome-calculator...
(No debugging symbols found in /usr/bin/gnome-calculator)
Remote debugging using :1234
* hangs *
What happens is:
- The protocol between gdb and gdbserver is in non-stop mode, but the
user-visible behavior is all-stop
- On connect, gdbserver sends one stop reply for one thread that is
stops, the others stay running
- In process_initial_stop_replies, gdb calls stop_all_threads to stop
these other threads, because we are using the all-stop user-visible
mode
- stop_all_threads sends a stop request for all the running threads and
then waits for resulting events
- At this point, the remote target is in target_async(0) mode, which
makes stop_all_threads not consider it for events
- stop_all_threads loops indefinitely (it does not even block
indefinitely, it is in an infinite busy loop) because there are no
event sources. wait_one_event returns a TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED
wait status.
Fix that by making the remote target async around the stop_all_threads
call.
I haven't implemented it because I'm not sure how to do it, but I think
it would be a good idea to have, in stop_all_threads / wait_one /
handle_one, an assert to check that if we are expecting one or more
event, then there are some targets that are in a state where they can
supply some events. Otherwise, we'll necessarily be stuck in this
infinite loop, and it's probably due to a bug in GDB. I'm not too sure
where to put this or how to express it though. Perhaps in
stop_all_threads, here:
for (int i = 0; i < waits_needed; i++)
{
wait_one_event event = wait_one ();
*here*
if (handle_one (event))
break;
}
If at that point, the returned event is TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED,
there's a problem. We expect some event, because we've asked some
threads to stop, but all targets are answering that they won't have any
events for us. That's a contradiction, and a sign that something has
gone wrong. It could perhaps event be:
gdb_assert (event.ws.kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED);
in handle_one, as the idea is the same in prepare_for_detach.
A bit more sophisticated would be: we know which targets we are
expecting waits from, since we know which threads we have asked to
stop. So if any of these targets returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED,
something is fishy.
Add a test that tests attaching with gdbserver's --attach flag to a
multi-threaded program, and then connecting to it. Without the fix, the
test reproduces the hang.

The test currently requires the "inf 1" breakpoint to be before the "inf
2" breakpoint. This is not always the case:

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/foll-fork.exp: follow-fork-mode=parent: detach-on-fork=off: cmd=next 2: test_follow_fork: info breakpoints
Since add_location_to_breakpoint uses only the address as a criterion to
sort locations, the order of locations at the same address is not
stable: it will depend on the insertion order. Here, the insertion
order comes from the order of SALs when creating the breakpoint, which
can vary from machine to machine. While it would be more user-friendly
to have a more stable order for printed breakpoint locations, it doesn't
really matter for this test, and it would be hard to define an order
that will be the same everywhere, all the time.
So, loosen the regexp to accept "inf 1" and "inf 2" in any order.

This commit builds on previous work to allow GDB to print a backtrace
of itself when GDB encounters an internal-error or internal-warning.
This fixes PR gdb/26377.
There's not many places where we call internal_warning, and I guess in
most cases the user would probably continue their debug session. And
so, in order to avoid cluttering up the output, by default, printing
of a backtrace is off for internal-warnings.
In contrast, printing of a backtrace is on by default for
internal-errors, as I figure that in most cases hitting an
internal-error is going to be the end of the debug session.
Whether a backtrace is printed or not can be controlled with the new
settings:
maintenance set internal-error backtrace on|off
maintenance show internal-error backtrace
maintenance set internal-warning backtrace on|off
maintenance show internal-warning backtrace
Here is an example of what an internal-error now looks like with the
backtrace included:
(gdb) maintenance internal-error blah

A problem internal to GDB has been detected,

My hope is that this backtrace might make it slightly easier to
diagnose GDB issues if all that is provided is the console output, I
find that we frequently get reports of an assert being hit that is
located in pretty generic code (frame.c, value.c, etc) and it is not
always obvious how we might have arrived at the assert.

GDB recently gained the ability to print a backtrace when a fatal
signal is encountered. This backtrace is produced using the backtrace
and backtrace_symbols_fd API available in glibc.
However, in order for this API to actually map addresses to symbol
names it is required that the application (GDB) be compiled with
-rdynamic, which GDB is not by default.
As a result, the backtrace produced often looks like this:
Fatal signal: Bus error
----- Backtrace -----
./gdb/gdb[0x80ec00]
./gdb/gdb[0x80ed56]
/lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3c6b0)[0x7fc2ce1936b0]

./gdb/gdb[0x4174de]
---------------------
This is OK if you have access to the exact same build of GDB, you can
manually map the addresses back to symbols, however, it is next to
useless if all you have is a backtrace copied into a bug report.
GCC uses libbacktrace for printing a backtrace when it encounters an
error. In recent commits I added this library into the binutils-gdb
repository, and in this commit I allow this library to be used by
GDB. Now (when GDB is compiled with debug information) the backtrace
looks like this:
----- Backtrace -----

---------------------
Which seems much more useful.
Use of libbacktrace is optional. If GDB is configured with
--disable-libbacktrace then the libbacktrace directory will not be
built, and GDB will not try to use this library. In this case GDB
would try to use the old backtrace and backtrace_symbols_fd API.
All of the functions related to writing the backtrace of GDB itself
have been moved into the new files gdb/by-utils.{c,h}.
|

After the previous commit that imported libbacktrace from gcc, this
commit updates src-release.sh so that the libbacktrace directory is
included in the gdb release tar file.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh (GDB_SUPPPORT_DIRS): Add libbacktrace.
|
|
This copies in libbacktrace from the gcc repository as it was in the
commit 62e420293a293608f383d9b9c7f2debd666e9fc9. GDB is going to
start using this library soon.
A dependency between GDB and libbacktrace has already been added to
the top level Makefile, so, after this commit, when building GDB,
libbacktrace will be built first. However, libbacktrace is not yet
linked into GDB, or used by GDB in any way.
It is possible to stop libbacktrace being built by configuring the
tree with --disable-libbacktrace.
This commit does NOT update src-release.sh, that will be done in the
next commit, this commit ONLY imports libbacktrace from gcc. This
means that if you try to make a release of GDB from exactly this
commit then the release tar file will not include libbacktrace.
However, as libbacktrace is an optional dependency this is fine.

GDB is going to start using libbacktrace, so add a build dependency.

* Makefile.def: Add all-gdb dependency on all-libbacktrace.
* Makefile.in: Regenerate.

The top-level configure script is shared between the gcc repository
and the binutils-gdb repository.
The target_configdirs variable in the configure.ac script, defines
sub-directories that contain components that should be built for the
target using the target tools.
Some components, e.g. zlib, are built as both host and target
libraries.
This causes problems for binutils-gdb. If we run 'make all' in the
binutils-gdb repository we end up trying to build a target version of
the zlib library, which requires the target compiler be available.
Often the target compiler isn't immediately available, and so the
build fails.
The problem with zlib impacted a previous attempt to synchronise the
top-level configure scripts from gcc to binutils-gdb, see this thread:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2019-May/107094.html
And I'm in the process of importing libbacktrace in to binutils-gdb,
which is also a host and target library, and triggers the same issues.
I believe that for binutils-gdb, at least at the moment, there are no
target libraries that we need to build.
In the configure script we build three lists of things we want to
build, $configdirs, $build_configdirs, and $target_configdirs, we also
build two lists of things we don't want to build, $skipdirs and
$noconfigdirs. We then remove anything that is in the lists of things
not to build, from the list of things that should be built.
My proposal is to add everything in target_configdirs into skipdirs,
if the source tree doesn't contain a gcc/ sub-directory. The result
is that for binutils-gdb no target tools or libraries will be built,
while for the gcc repository, nothing should change.
If a user builds a unified source tree, then the target tools and
libraries should still be built as the gcc/ directory will be present.
I've tested a build of gcc on x86-64, and the same set of target
libraries still seem to get built. On binutils-gdb this change
resolves the issues with 'make all'.
ChangeLog:
* configure: Regenerate.
* configure.ac (skipdirs): Add the contents of target_configdirs if
we are not building gcc.

After commit 985e0264516 copy_archive function began to pass invalid
values to the utimensat(2) function when it tries to preserve
timestamps in ar archives. This happens because the bfd_stat_arch_elt

and the whole st_atim timespec untouched leaving them uninitialized

When I first wrote this, I was thinking we'd scan all source files
that existed and generate a complete init list. That means for any
particular build, we'd probably have a few functions that didn't
exist, so weak attributes was necessary. What I ended up scanning
though was only the source files that went into a particular build.
There was another concern too: a source file might be included, but
the build settings would cause all of its contents to be skipped
(via CPP defines). So scanning via naive grep would pick up names
not actually available. A check of the source tree shows that we
never do this, and it's pretty easy to institute a policy that we
don't start (by at the very least including a stub init func).
The use of weak symbols ends up causing a problem in practice: for
a few modules (like profiling), nothing else pulls it in, so the
linker omits it entirely, which leads to the profiling module never
being available. So drop the weak markings since we know all these
funcs will be available.

"follow-fork-mode child"
We found that when handling forks, two inferiors can unexpectedly share
their program space and address space. To reproduce:
1. Using a test program that forks...
2. "set follow-fork-mode child"
3. "set detach-on-fork on" (the default)
4. run to a breakpoint somewhere after the fork
Step 4 should have created a new inferior:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 <null> /home/smarchi/build/wt/amd/gdb/fork
* 2 process 251425 1 (native) /home/smarchi/build/wt/amd/gdb/fork
By inspecting the state of GDB, we can see that the two inferiors now
share one program space and one address space:
Inferior 1:
(top-gdb) p inferior_list.m_front.num
$2 = 1
(top-gdb) p inferior_list.m_front.aspace
$3 = (struct address_space *) 0x5595e2520400
(top-gdb) p inferior_list.m_front.pspace
$4 = (struct program_space *) 0x5595e2520440
Inferior 2:
(top-gdb) p inferior_list.m_front.next.num
$5 = 2
(top-gdb) p inferior_list.m_front.next.aspace
$6 = (struct address_space *) 0x5595e2520400
(top-gdb) p inferior_list.m_front.next.pspace
$7 = (struct program_space *) 0x5595e2520440
You can then run inferior 1 again and the two inferiors will still
erroneously share their spaces, but already at this point this is wrong.
The cause of the bad {a,p}space sharing is in follow_fork_inferior.
When following the child and detaching from the parent, we just re-use
the parent's spaces, rather than cloning them. When we switch back to
inferior 1 and run again, we find ourselves with two unrelated inferiors
sharing spaces.
Fix that by creating new spaces for the parent after having moved them
to the child. My initial implementation created new spaces for the
child instead. Doing this breaks doing "next" over fork(). When "next"
start, we record the symtab of the starting location. When the program
stops, we compare that symtab with the symtab the program has stopped
at. If the symtab or the line number has changed, we conclude the
"next" is done. If we create a new program space for the child and copy
the parent's program space to it with clone_program_space, it creates
new symtabs for the child as well. When the child stop, but still on
the fork() line, GDB thinks the "next" is done because the symtab
pointers no longer match. In reality they are two symtab instances that
represent the same file. But moving the spaces to the child and
creating new spaces for the parent, we avoid this problem.
Note that the problem described above happens today with "detach-on-fork
off" and "follow-fork-mode child", because we create new spaces for the
child. This will have to be addressed later.
Test-wise, improve gdb.base/foll-fork.exp to set a breakpoint that is
expected to have a location in each inferiors. Without the fix, when
the two inferiors erroneously share a program space, GDB reports a
single location.

This test is difficult to follow and modify because the state of GDB is
preserved some tests. Add a setup proc, which starts a new GDB and runs
to main, and use it in all test procs. Use proc_with_prefix to avoid
duplicates.
The check_fork_catchpoints proc also seems used to check for follow-fork
support by checking if catchpoints are supported. If they are not, it
uses "return -code return", which makes its caller return. I find this
unnecessary complex, versus just returning a boolean. Modify it to do
so.

It looks like this test has some code to check at runtime the support of
fork handling of the target (see check_fork_catchpoints). So, it seems
to me that the check based on target triplet at the beginning of the
test is not needed. This kind of gating is generally not desirable,
because we wouldn't think of updating it when adding fork support to a
target. For example, FreeBSD supports fork, but it wasn't listed here.

An off-by-one bug in the check for pptrtab lookup meant that we could
access the pptrtab past its bounds (*well* past its bounds),
particularly if we called ctf_lookup_by_name in a child dict with "*foo"
where "foo" is a type that exists in the parent but not the child and no
previous lookups by name have been carried out. (Note that "*foo" is
not even a valid thing to call ctf_lookup_by_name with: foo * is.
Nonetheless, users sometimes do call ctf_lookup_by_name with invalid
content, and it should return ECTF_NOTYPE, not crash.)
ctf_pptrtab_len, as its name suggests (and as other tests of it in
ctf-lookup.c confirm), is one higher than the maximum valid permissible
index, so the comparison is wrong.
(Test added, which should fail pretty reliably in the presence of this
bug on any machine with 4KiB pages.)

Older (pre-upstreaming) GCC emits a function symtypetab section of a
format never read by any extant libctf. We can detect such CTF dicts by
the lack of the CTF_F_NEWFUNCINFO flag in their header, and we do so
when reading in the symtypetab section -- but if the set of symbols with
types is sufficiently sparse, even an older GCC will emit a function
index section.
In NEWFUNCINFO-capable compilers, this section will always be the exact
same length as the corresponding function section (each is an array of
uint32_t, associated 1:1 with each other). But this is not true for the
older compiler, for which the sections are different lengths. We check
to see if the function symtypetab section and its index are the same
length, but we fail to skip this check when this is not a NEWFUNCINFO
dict, and emit a spurious corruption error for a CTF dict we could
have perfectly well opened and used.
Fix trivial: check the flag (and fix the terrible grammar of the error
message at the same time).

Checking for linker versioning by just grepping ld --help output for
mentions of --version-script is inadequate now that Solaris 11.4
implements a --version-script with different semantics. Try linking a
test program with a small wildcard-using version script with each
supported set of flags in turn, to make sure that linker versioning is
not only advertised but actually works.
The Solaris "GNU-compatible" linker versioning is not quite
GNU-compatible enough, but we can work around the differences by
generating a new version script that removes the comments from the
original (Solaris ld requires #-style comments), and making another
version script for libctf-nonbfd in particular which doesn't mention any
of the symbols that appear in libctf.la, to avoid Solaris ld introducing
corresponding new NOTYPE symbols to match the version script.

Libtool needs to get BSD-format (or MS-format) output out of the system
nm, so that it can scan generated object files for symbol names for
-export-symbols-regex support. Some nms need specific flags to turn on
BSD-formatted output, so libtool checks for this in its AC_PATH_NM.
Unfortunately the code to do this has a pair of interlocking flaws:
- it runs the test by doing an nm of /dev/null. Some platforms
reasonably refuse to do an nm on a device file, but before now this
has only been worked around by assuming that the error message has a
specific textual form emitted by Tru64 nm, and that getting this
error means this is Tru64 nm and that nm -B would work to produce
BSD-format output, even though the test never actually got anything
but an error message out of nm -B. This is fixable by nm'ing *nm
itself* (since we necessarily have a path to it).
- the test is entirely skipped if NM is set in the environment, on the
grounds that the user has overridden the test: but the user cannot
reasonably be expected to know that libtool wants not only nm but
also flags forcing BSD-format output. Worse yet, one such "user" is
the top-level Cygnus configure script, which neither tests for
nor specifies any BSD-format flags. So platforms needing BSD-format
flags always fail to set them when run in a Cygnus tree, breaking
-export-symbols-regex on such platforms. Libtool also needs to
augment $LD on some platforms, but this is done unconditionally,
augmenting whatever the user specified: the nm check should do the
same.
One wrinkle: if the user has overridden $NM, a path might have been
provided: so we use the user-specified path if there was one, and
otherwise do the path search as usual. (If the nm specified doesn't
work, this might lead to a few extra pointless path searches -- but
the test is going to fail anyway, so that's not a problem.)
(Tested with NM unset, and set to nm, /usr/bin/nm, my-nm where my-nm is a
symlink to /usr/bin/nm on the PATH, and /not-on-the-path/my-nm where
*that* is a symlink to /usr/bin/nm.)

This ensures that the CTF_LIBADD, which always contains at least this
when doing a shared link:
-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic -liberty
appears in the link line before any requirements pulled in by libbfd.la,
which include -liberty but because it is install-time do not include the
-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic portion (in an indirect dep like this, the path
comes from the libbfd.la file, and is an install path). libiberty also
appears after libbfd in the link line by virtue of libctf-nobfd.la,
because libctf-nobfd has to follow libbfd in the link line, and that
needs symbols from libiberty too.
Without this, an installed liberty might well be pulled in by libbfd,
and if --enable-install-libiberty is not specified this libiberty might
be completely incompatible with what is being installed and break either
or boht of libbfd and libctf. (The specific problem observed here is
that bsearch_r was not present, but other problems might easily be
observed in future too.)
Because ld links against libctf, this has a tendency to break the system
linker at install time too, if installing with --prefix=/usr. That's
quite unpleasant to recover from.

In some situations it is possible that a user might not want GDB to
try and access source code files, for example, the source code might
be stored on a slow to access network file system.
It is almost certainly possible that using some combination of 'set
directories' and/or 'set substitute-path' a user can trick GDB into
being unable to find the source files, but this feels like a rather
crude way to solve the problem.
In this commit a new option is add that stops GDB from opening and
reading the source files. A user can run with source code reading
disabled if this is required, then re-enable later if they decide
that they now want to view the source code.

I ran into this assertion while GDB was trying to unwind the stack:
gdb/inline-frame.c:173: internal-error: void inline_frame_this_id(frame_info*, void**, frame_id*): Assertion `frame_id_p (*this_id)' failed.
That is, when building the frame_id for an inline frame, GDB asks for
the frame_id of the previous frame. Unfortunately, no valid frame_id
was returned for the previous frame, and so the assertion triggers.
What is happening is this, I had a stack that looked something like
this (the arrows '->' point from caller to callee):
normal_frame -> inline_frame
However, for whatever reason (e.g. broken debug information, or
corrupted stack contents in the inferior), when GDB tries to unwind
"normal_frame", it ends up getting back effectively the same frame,
thus the call stack looks like this to GDB:
.-> normal_frame -> inline_frame
| |
'-----'
Given such a situation we would expect GDB to terminate the stack with
an error like this:
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
However, the inline_frame causes a problem, and here's why:
When unwinding we start from the sentinel frame and call
get_prev_frame. We eventually end up in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle,
in here we create a raw frame, and as this is frame #0 we immediately
return.
However, eventually we will try to unwind the stack further. When we
do this we inevitably needing to know the frame_id for frame #0, and
so, eventually, we end up in compute_frame_id.
In compute_frame_id we first find the right unwinder for this frame,
in our case (i.e. for inline_frame) the $pc is within the function
normal_frame, but also within a block associated with the inlined
function inline_frame, as such the inline frame unwinder claims this
frame.
Back in compute_frame_id we next compute the frame_id, for our
inline_frame this means a call to inline_frame_this_id.
The ID of an inline frame is based on the id of the previous frame, so
from inline_frame_this_id we call get_prev_frame_always, this
eventually calls get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle again, which creates
another raw frame and calls compute_frame_id (for frames other than
frame 0 we immediately compute the frame_id).
In compute_frame_id we again identify the correct unwinder for this
frame. Our $pc is unchanged, however, the fact that the next frame is
of type INLINE_FRAME prevents the inline frame unwinder from claiming
this frame again, and so, the standard DWARF frame unwinder claims
normal_frame.
We return to compute_frame_id and call the standard DWARF function to
build the frame_id for normal_frame.
With the frame_id of normal_frame figured out we return to
compute_frame_id, and then to get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, where we add
the ID for normal_frame into the frame_id cache, and return the frame
back to inline_frame_this_id.
From inline_frame_this_id we build a frame_id for inline_frame and
return to compute_frame_id, and then to get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle,
which adds the frame_id for inline_frame into the frame_id cache.
So far, so good.
However, as we are trying to unwind the complete stack, we eventually
ask for the previous frame of normal_frame, remember, at this point
GDB doesn't know the stack is corrupted (with a cycle), GDB still
needs to figure that out.
So, we eventually end up in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle where we create
a raw frame and call compute_frame_id, remember, this is for the frame
before normal_frame.
The first task for compute_frame_id is to find the unwinder for this
frame, so all of the frame sniffers are tried in order, this includes
the inline frame sniffer.
The inline frame sniffer asks for the $pc, this request is sent up the
stack to normal_frame, which, due to its cyclic behaviour, tells GDB
that the $pc in the previous frame was the same as the $pc in
normal_frame.
GDB spots that this $pc corresponds to both the function normal_frame
and also the inline function inline_frame. As the next frame is not
an INLINE_FRAME then GDB figures that we have not yet built a frame to
cover inline_frame, and so the inline sniffer claims this new frame.
Our stack is now looking like this:
inline_frame -> normal_frame -> inline_frame
But, we have not yet computed the frame id for the outer most (on the
left) inline_frame. After the frame sniffer has claimed the inline
frame GDB returns to compute_frame_id and calls inline_frame_this_id.
In here GDB calls get_prev_frame_always, which eventually ends up
in get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle again, where we create a raw frame and
call compute_frame_id.
Just like before, compute_frame_id tries to find an unwinder for this
new frame, it sees that the $pc is within both normal_frame and
inline_frame, but the next frame is, again, an INLINE_FRAME, so, just
like before the standard DWARF unwinder claims this frame. Back in
compute_frame_id we again call the standard DWARF function to build
the frame_id for this new copy of normal_frame.
At this point the stack looks like this:
normal_frame -> inline_frame -> normal_frame -> inline_frame
After compute_frame_id we return to get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, where
we try to add the frame_id for the new normal_frame into the frame_id
cache, however, unlike before, we fail to add this frame_id as it is
a duplicate of the previous normal_frame frame_id. Having found a
duplicate get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle unlinks the new frame from the
stack, and returns nullptr, the stack now looks like this:
inline_frame -> normal_frame -> inline_frame
The nullptr result from get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle is fed back to
inline_frame_this_id, which forwards this to get_frame_id, which
immediately returns null_frame_id. As null_frame_id is not considered
a valid frame_id, this is what triggers the assertion.
In summary then:
- inline_frame_this_id currently assumes that as the inline frame
exists, we will always get a valid frame back from
get_prev_frame_always,
- get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle currently assumes that it is safe to
return nullptr when it sees a cycle.
Notice that in frame.c:compute_frame_id, this code:
fi->this_id.value = outer_frame_id;
fi->unwind->this_id (fi, &fi->prologue_cache, &fi->this_id.value);
gdb_assert (frame_id_p (fi->this_id.value));
The assertion makes it clear that the this_id function must always
return a valid frame_id (e.g. null_frame_id is not a valid return
value), and similarly in inline_frame.c:inline_frame_this_id this
code:
*this_id = get_frame_id (get_prev_frame_always (this_frame));
/* snip comment */
gdb_assert (frame_id_p (*this_id));
Makes it clear that every inline frame expects to be able to get a
previous frame, which will have a valid frame_id.
As I have discussed above, these assumptions don't currently hold in
all cases.
One possibility would be to move the call to get_prev_frame_always
forward from inline_frame_this_id to inline_frame_sniffer, however,
this falls foul of (in frame.c:frame_cleanup_after_sniffer) this
assertion:
/* No sniffer should extend the frame chain; sniff based on what is
already certain. */
gdb_assert (!frame->prev_p);
This assert prohibits any sniffer from trying to get the previous
frame, as getting the previous frame is likely to depend on the next
frame, I can understand why this assertion is a good thing, and I'm in
no rush to alter this rule.
The solution proposed here takes onboard feedback from both Pedro, and
Simon (see the links below). The get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle function
is renamed to get_prev_frame_maybe_check_cycle, and will now not do
cycle detection for inline frames, even when we spot a duplicate frame
it is still returned. This is fine, as, if the normal frame has a
duplicate frame-id then the inline frame will also have a duplicate
frame-id. And so, when we reject the inline frame, the duplicate
normal frame, which is previous to the inline frame, will also be
rejected.
In inline-frame.c the call to get_prev_frame_always is no longer
nested inside the call to get_frame_id. There are reasons why
get_prev_frame_always can return nullptr, for example, if there is a
memory error while trying to get the previous frame, if this should
happen then we now give a more informative error message.

When running test-case gdb.base/dcache-flush.exp on ubuntu 18.04.5, I run into:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/dcache-flush.exp: p var2
info dcache^M
Dcache 4096 lines of 64 bytes each.^M
Contains data for Thread 0x7ffff7fc6b80 (LWP 3551)^M

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/dcache-flush.exp: check dcache before flushing

The regexp expects "Contains data for process $decimal".
This is another case of thread_db_target::pid_to_str being used.
Fix this by updating the regexp.

gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp
The test-case gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp takes about 20s
when using hw watchpoints, but when forcing sw watchpoints (using the patch
mentioned in PR28375#c0), the test-case takes instead 3m14s.
Also, it show a FAIL:
...
(gdb) continue^M
Continuing.^M
Cannot find user-level thread for LWP 10324: generic error^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process:
continue: watchpoint: continue
...
for which PR28375 was filed.
Modify the test-case to:
- add the hw/sw axis to the watchpoint testing, to ensure that we
observe the sw watchpoint behaviour also on can-use-hw-watchpoints
architectures.
- skip the hw breakpoint testing if not supported
- set the sw watchpoint later to avoid making the test
too slow. This still triggers the same PR, but now takes just 24s.
This patch adds a KFAIL for PR28375.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
