Teach GDB how to dump memory tags for AArch64 when using the gcore command
and how to read memory tag data back from a core file generated by GDB
(via gcore) or by the Linux kernel.
The format is documented in the Linux Kernel documentation [1].
Each tagged memory range (listed in /proc/<pid>/smaps) gets dumped to its
own PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE segment. A section named ".memtag" is created for each
of those segments when reading the core file back.
To save a little bit of space, given MTE tags only take 4 bits, the memory tags
are stored packed as 2 tags per byte.
When reading the data back, the tags are unpacked.
I've added a new testcase to exercise the feature.
Build-tested with --enable-targets=all and regression tested on aarch64-linux
Ubuntu 20.04.

Newer distros carry newer headers that contains MTE definitions. Account
for that fact in the MTE testcases (gdb.arch/aarch64-mte.exp) and define
constants conditionally to prevent compilation failures.

Currently, Python code can use event registries to detect when gdb
loads a new objfile, and when gdb clears the objfile list. However,
there's no way to detect the removal of an objfile, say when the
inferior calls dlclose.
This patch adds a gdb.free_objfile event registry and arranges for an
event to be emitted in this case.

I noticed that gdb.base/bt-on-fatal-signal.exp was contributing four
core files to the count of unexpected core files:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.base/bt-on-fatal-signal.exp"
=== gdb Summary ===
# of unexpected core files 4
# of expected passes 21
These are GDB core dumps. They are expected, however, because the
whole point of the testcase is to crash GDB with a signal.
Make GDB change its current directory to the output dir just before
crashing, so that the core files end up there. The result is now:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 25
and:
$ find . -name "core.*"

Currently the Ada code assumes that it can distinguish between a
multi-dimensional array and an array of arrays by looking for an
intervening typedef -- that is, for an array of arrays, there will be
a typedef wrapping the innermost array type.
A recent compiler change removes this typedef, which causes a gdb
failure in the internal AdaCore test suite.
This patch handles this case by checking whether the array type in
question has a name.

In commit 9d9dd861e98 ("[gdb/testsuite] Fix regression in
step-indirect-call-thunk.exp with gcc 7") I accidentally committed a duplicate
of supports_gnuc, which caused:
...
DUPLICATE: gdb.base/gdb-caching-proc.exp: supports_gnuc: consistency
...
Fix this by removing the duplicate.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Use set_sanitizer_default for ASAN_OPTIONS in lib/gdb.exp.
This allows us to override the default detect_leaks=0 setting, by manually
doing:
...
$ export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1
$ make check
...
Tested on x86_64-linux, by building with -fsanitize=address and running
test-case gdb.dwarf2/gdb-add-index.exp with and without
"export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=1".

Since commit 43127ae5714 ("Fix gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp") I run
into:
...
gdb compile failed, gcc: error: unrecognized command line option \
'-fcf-protection=none'; did you mean '-flto-partition=none'?
UNTESTED: gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp: failed to prepare
...
The problem is that -fcf-protection is supported starting gcc 8, but I'm using
system gcc 7.5.0.
Fix this by only adding -fcf-protection=none for gcc 8 and later.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gcc 7.5.0, 8.2.1 and 12.1.1.

Since commit c4a3dbaf113 ("Expose current 'print' settings to Python") we
have:
...
(gdb) print /x $bnd0 = {0x10, 0x20}^M

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/i386-mpx.exp: verify size for bnd0

The regexp in the test-case expects "size 17".
Fix this by updating the regexp.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

gdb.base/maint.exp was using several gdb_expect statements, probably
because this test case predates the existance of gdb_test_multiple. This
commit updates the test case to use gdb_test_multiple, making it more
resilient to internal errors and such.
The only gdb_expect left in the testcase is one that specifically looks
for an internal error being triggered as a PASS.

When I rebased and updated the print_options patch, I forgot to update
print_options to add the new 'nibbles' feature to the result. This
patch fixes the oversight. I'm checking this in.
|

This adds a 'summary' mode to Value.format_string and to
gdb.print_options. For the former, it lets Python code format values
using this mode. For the latter, it lets a printer potentially detect
if it is being called in a backtrace with 'set print frame-arguments'
set to 'scalars'.
I considered adding a new mode here to let a pretty-printer see
whether it was being called in a 'backtrace' context at all, but I'm
not sure if this is really desirable.
|
|
PR python/17291 asks for access to the current print options. While I
think this need is largely satisfied by the existence of
Value.format_string, it seemed to me that a bit more could be done.
First, while Value.format_string uses the user's settings, it does not
react to temporary settings such as "print/x". This patch changes
this.
Second, there is no good way to examine the current settings (in
particular the temporary ones in effect for just a single "print").
This patch adds this as well.

Disable the Traceback Table generation on PowerPC for this test. The
Traceback Table consists of a series of bit fields to indicate things like
the Traceback Table version, language, and specific information about the
function. The Traceback Table is generated following the end of the code
for every function by default. The Traceback Table is defined in the
PowerPC ELF ABI and is intended to support debuggers and exception
handlers. The Traceback Table is displayed in the disassembly of functions
by default and is part of the function length. The table is typically
interpreted by the disassembler as data represented by .long xxx entries.
Generation of the Traceback Table is disabled in this test using the
PowerPC specific gcc compiler option -mtraceback=no, the xlc option
additional_flags-qtable=none and the clang optons
-mllvm -xcoff-traceback-table=false. Disabling the Traceback Table
generation in this test results in the gdb_test_multiple statement
correctly locating the address of the bclr instruction before the statement
"End of assembler dump." in the disassembly output.

A WIP version of a patch
(https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-June/190202.html)
resulted in a bug that went unnoticed by the testuite, like so:

Somehow, above, GDB re-added the zombie leader back before printing
"No unwaited-for children left.". The "only thread 3 left, main
thread terminated" test should have caught this, but didn't. That is
because the test's regexp has a ".*" after the part that matches
thread 3. This commit tightens that regexp to catch such a bug. It
also tightens the "only main thread left, thread 2 terminated" test's
regexp in the same way.

The issue is the ATTRIBUTE_NOCLONE is not defined as an attribute as

../lib/attributes.h.
This patch adds the missing include statement for the definition of
ATTRIBUTE_NOCLONE.

Due to recent changes in the default value of -fcf-protection for gcc, the
test gdb.base/step-indirect-call-thunk.exp fails on Intel X86-64 with the

As stated in the error message the default "-fcf-protection" and
"-mindirect-branch' are in compatible. The fcf-protection argument needs
to be "-fcf-protection=none" for the test to compile on Intel.
The gcc command line "-mindirect-branch' is an Intel specific and will give
an error on other platforms. A check for X86 is added so the test will
only run on X86 platforms.
The patch has been tested and verified on Power 10 and Intel X86-64 systems
with no regressions.

With a test like this:
1 #include <dlfcn.h>
2 int
3 main ()
4 {
5 dlsym (RTLD_DEFAULT, "FOO");
6 return 0;
7 }
and then "start" followed by "until 6", GDB currently incorrectly
stops inside the runtime loader, instead of line 6. Vis:
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at until.c:5
4 {
(gdb) until 6

206 dl-error-skeleton.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb)
The problem is related to longjmp handling -- dlsym internally
longjmps on error. The testcase can be reduced to this:
1 #include <setjmp.h>
2 void func () {
3 jmp_buf buf;
4 if (setjmp (buf) == 0)
5 longjmp (buf, 1);
6 }
7
8 int main () {
9 func ();
10 return 0; /* until to here */
11 }
and then with "start" followed by "until 10", GDB currently
incorrectly stops at line 4 (returning from setjmp), instead of line
10.
The problem is that the BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME code in
infrun.c fails to find the initiating frame, and so infrun thinks that
the longjmp jumped somewhere outer to "until"'s originating frame.
Here:
case BPSTAT_WHAT_CLEAR_LONGJMP_RESUME:
{
struct frame_info *init_frame;
/* There are several cases to consider.
1. The initiating frame no longer exists. In this case we
must stop, because the exception or longjmp has gone too
far.
...
init_frame = frame_find_by_id (ecs->event_thread->initiating_frame);
if (init_frame) // this is NULL!
{
...
}
/* For Cases 1 and 2, remove the step-resume breakpoint, if it
exists. */
delete_step_resume_breakpoint (ecs->event_thread);
end_stepping_range (ecs); // case 1., so we stop.
}
The initiating frame is set by until_break_command ->
set_longjmp_breakpoint. The initiating frame is supposed to be the
frame that is selected when the command was issued, but
until_break_command instead passes the frame id of the _caller_ frame
by mistake. When the "until LINE" command is issued from main, the
caller frame is the caller of main. When later infrun tries to find
that frame by id, it fails to find it, because frame_find_by_id
doesn't unwind past main.
The bug is that we passed the caller frame's id to
set_longjmp_breakpoint. We should have passed the selected frame's id
instead.

We have in per_cu->set_lang this comment:
...
void set_lang (enum language lang)
{
/* We'd like to be more strict here, similar to what is done in
set_unit_type, but currently a partial unit can go from unknown to
minimal to ada to c. */
...
Fix this by not setting m_lang for partial units.
This requires us to move the m_unit_type initialization to ensure that
m_unit_type is initialized before per_cu->m_lang.

[Note: the testcased added by this commit depends on
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-June/190259.html,
otherwise GDB just crashes when detaching the core]
Currently, in MI, =thread-created are always emitted, like:
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="195680"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
...
but on teardown, if the target uses exit_inferior_silent, then you'll
only see the inferior exit notification (thread-group-exited), no
notification for threads.
The core target is one of the few targets that use
exit_inferior_silent. Here's an example session:
-target-select core $corefile
=thread-group-started,id="i1",pid="195680"
=thread-created,id="1",group-id="i1"
...
^connected,frame=....
(gdb)
-target-detach
=thread-group-exited,id="i1"
^done
(gdb)
This imbalance of emitting =thread-created but then not =thread-exited
seems off to me. (And, it complicates changes I want to do to
centralize emitting thread exit notifications for the CLI, which is
why I'm looking at this.)
And then, since most other targets use exit_inferior instead of
exit_inferior_silent, MI is already emitting =thread-exited
notifications when tearing down an inferior, for most targets.
This commit makes MI always emit the =thread-exited notifications,
even for exit_inferior_silent.
Afterwards, when debugging a core, MI outputs:
(gdb)
-target-detach
=thread-exited,id="1",group-id="i1" << new line
=thread-group-exited,id="i1"
^done
(gdb)
Surprisingly, there's no MI testcase debugging a core file. This
commit adds the first.

process_stratum_target *proc_target = inf->process_target ();
if (proc_target->commit_resumed_state)
^^^^^^^^^^^
With 'proc_target' above being null. all_non_exited_inferiors filters
out inferiors that have pid==0. We get here at the end of
detach_command, after core_target::detach has already run, at which
point the inferior _should_ have pid==0 and no process target. It is
clear it no longer has a process target, but, it still has a pid!=0
somehow.
The reason the inferior still has pid!=0, is that core_target::detach
just unpushes, and relies on core_target::close to actually do the
getting rid of the core and exiting the inferior. The problem with
that is that detach_command grabs an extra strong reference to the
process stratum target, so the unpush_target inside
core_target::detach doesn't actually result in a call to
core_target::close.
Fix this my moving the cleaning up the core inferior to a shared
routine called by both core_target::close and core_target::detach. We
still need to cleanup the inferior from within core_file::close
because there are paths to it that want to get rid of the core without
going through detach. E.g., "core-file" -> "run".
This commit includes a new test added to gdb.base/corefile.exp to
cover the "core-file core" -> "detach" scenario.

PR python/27000 points out that gdb.block_for_pc will accept a Python
integer, but not a gdb.Value. This patch corrects this oversight.
I looked at all uses of GDB_PY_LLU_ARG and fixed these up to use
get_addr_from_python instead. I also looked at uses of GDB_PY_LL_ARG,
but those seemed relatively unlikely to be useful with a gdb.Value, so
I didn't change them. My thinking here is that a Value will typically
come from inferior memory, and something like a line number is not too
likely to be found this way.

The DWARF spec says:
Any debugging information entry representing the declaration of an object,
module, subprogram or type may have DW_AT_decl_file, DW_AT_decl_line and
DW_AT_decl_column attributes, each of whose value is an unsigned integer
^^^^^^^^
constant.
Grepping around the DWARF-assembler-based testcases, I noticed that
gdb.trace/unavailable-dwarf-piece.exp emits decl_line with
DW_FORM_sdata, a signed integer form. This commit tweaks it to use
DW_FORM_udata instead.
Unsurprisingly, this:
$ make check \
TESTS="gdb.trace/unavailable-dwarf-piece.exp" \
RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
... still passes cleanly for me after this change.
I've noticed this because current llvm-dwarfdump crashed on an
ROCm-internal DWARF-assembler-based testcase that incorrectly used
signed forms for DW_AT_decl_file/DW_AT_decl_line.
The older llvm-dwarfdump found on Ubuntu 20.04 (LLVM 10) reads the
line numbers with signed forms as "0" instead of crashing. Here's the
before/after fix for gdb.trace/unavailable-dwarf-piece.exp with that

visible, just as it was in the past.
This new approach required one non-obvious change -- when running
gdb.base/warning.exp, where --data-directory is intentionally not
found, the event registries can now be nullptr. Consequently, this
patch probably also requires

When building gdb with -fsanitize=thread, I run into:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/early-init-file.exp: check startup version string has style \
version
...
due to this:
...
warning: Found custom handler for signal 7 (Bus error) preinstalled.^M
warning: Found custom handler for signal 8 (Floating point exception) \
preinstalled.^M
warning: Found custom handler for signal 11 (Segmentation fault) \
preinstalled.^M
Some signal dispositions inherited from the environment (SIG_DFL/SIG_IGN)^M

...
appearing before the "GNU gdb (GDB) $version" line.
This is similar to the problem fixed by commit f0bbba7886f
("gdb.debuginfod/fetch_src_and_symbols.exp: fix when GDB is built with
AddressSanitizer").
In that commit, the problem was fixed by starting gdb with -quiet, but using
that would mean the "GNU gdb (GDB) $version" line that we're trying to check
would disappear.
Fix this instead by updating the regexp to allow the message.
Tested on x86_64-linux.

Fix a completion consistency issue with `set' commands accepting integer
values and the special `unlimited' keyword:
(gdb) complete print -elements
print -elements NUMBER
print -elements unlimited
(gdb)
vs:
(gdb) complete set print elements
set print elements unlimited
(gdb)
(there is a space entered at the end of both commands, not shown here)
which also means if you strike <Tab> with `set print elements ' input,
it will, annoyingly, complete to `set print elements unlimited' right
away rather than showing a choice between `NUMBER' and `unlimited'.
Add `NUMBER' then as an available completion for such `set' commands:
(gdb) complete set print elements
set print elements NUMBER
set print elements unlimited
(gdb)
Adjust the testsuite accordingly. Also document the feature in the
Completion section of the manual in addition to the Command Options
section already there.

When testing GDB's ability to stop in constructors, gdb.cp/mb-ctor.exp
only tested objects allocated on the stack. This commit adds a couple of
dynamic allocations and tests if GDB can stop in it as well.
|
|
Match the whole error message expected to be given rather than omitting
the part about the "unlimited" keyword. There's no point in omitting
the missing part first, and second with an upcoming change the part in
parentheses will no longer be a fixed string, so doing a full match will
ensure the algorithm correctly builds the message expected here. Also
avoid any wildcard matches.
|
|
With errors given for bad commands such as `set annotate' or `set width'
we produce an extraneous full stop within parentheses:
(gdb) set annotate
Argument required (integer to set it to.).
(gdb) set width
Argument required (integer to set it to, or "unlimited".).
(gdb)
This is grammatically incorrect, so remove the full stop and adjust the
testsuite accordingly.

When running the gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp test on ppc, I was
seeing some test failures (or rather errors), that looked like this:
(gdb) watch local
Hardware watchpoint 2: local
has_hw_wp_support: Hardware watchpoint detected
ERROR: no fileid for gcc2-power8
ERROR: Couldn't send delete breakpoints to GDB.
ERROR OCCURED: can't read "gdb_spawn_id": no such variable
while executing
"expect {
-i 1000 -timeout 100
-re ".*A problem internal to GDB has been detected" {
fail "$message (GDB internal error)"
gdb_internal_erro..."
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
What happens is that in break-idempotent.exp we basically do this:
if {[prepare_for_testing "failed to prepare" $binfile $srcfile $opts]} {
continue
}
# ....
if {![skip_hw_watchpoint_tests]} {
test_break $always_inserted "watch"
}
The problem with this is that skip_hw_watchpoint_tests, includes this:
if { [istarget "i?86-*-*"]
|| [istarget "x86_64-*-*"]
|| [istarget "ia64-*-*"]
|| [istarget "arm*-*-*"]
|| [istarget "aarch64*-*-*"]
|| ([istarget "powerpc*-*-linux*"] && [has_hw_wp_support])
|| [istarget "s390*-*-*"] } {
return 0
}
For powerpc only we call has_hw_wp_support. This is a caching proc
that runs a test within GDB to detect if we have hardware watchpoint
support or not.
Unfortunately, to run this test we restart GDB, and when the test has
completed, we exit GDB. This means that in break-idempotent.exp, when
we call skip_hw_watchpoint_tests for the first time on powerpc, GDB
will unexpectedly be exited. When we later call delete_breakpoints we
see the errors I reported above.
The fix is to call skip_hw_watchpoint_tests early, before we start GDB
as part of the break-idempotent.exp script, and store the result in a
variable, we can then check this variable in the script as needed.
After this change break-idempotent.exp runs fine on powerpc.

Some tests link to outdated bug numbers when an XFAIL or a KFAIL happen.
gdb.base/macscp.exp was referencing bug number 555, and the bug 7660
mentions that it used to be 555 on the Gnats system and seems to relate
to the issue at hand.
gdb.base/annota1.exp was referencing bug number 1270, and bug 8375
mentions being number 1270 on Gnats, and mentions annota1 specifically,
so it seemed pretty obvious.

With python 3.4, I run into:
...
Traceback (most recent call last):^M
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>^M
File
"outputs/gdb.python/py-send-packet/py-send-packet.py", line 128, in \

TypeError: Could not convert Python object: b'X%x,4:\x02\x02\x02\x02'.^M
Error while executing Python code.^M
...
while with python 3.6 this works fine.
The type of addr is <class 'gdb.Value'>, so the first thing to try is whether
changing it into a string works:
...
addr_str = "%x" % addr
res = conn.send_packet(b"X%s,4:\x02\x02\x02\x02" % addr_str)
...
which gets us the more detailed:
...
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'bytes' and 'str'
...
Fix this by avoiding the '%' operator in the byte literal, and use instead:
...
def xpacket_header (addr):
return ("X%x,4:" % addr).encode('ascii')
...
res = conn.send_packet(xpacket_header(addr) + b"\x02\x02\x02\x02")

Tested on x86_64-linux, with python 3.4 and 3.6, and a backported version was
tested on the gdb-12-branch in combination with python 2.7.

When running test-case gdb.reverse/i387-env-reverse.exp for x86_64-linux with
target board unix/-m32/-fPIE/-pie, we run into:
...
(gdb) PASS: gdb.reverse/i387-env-reverse.exp: push st0

eax 0x56550000 1448411136^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.reverse/i387-env-reverse.exp: verify eax == 0x8040000
...
The problem is that the tested instruction (fstsw) only sets $ax, not $eax.
Fix this by verifying $ax instead of $eax.
Tested on x86_64-linux with target boards unix/-m32 and unix/-m32/-fPIE/-pie.

When trying to run test-case gdb.reverse/i387-env-reverse.exp for x86_64-linux
with target board unix/-m32, it's skipped.
Fix this by using is_x86_like_target instead of istarget "i?86-*linux*".
This exposes a number of duplicates, fix those by making the test names unique.
Likewise in a couple of other test-cases.
Tested on x86_64-linux with target boards unix/-m32.

The test-case gdb.fortran/namelist.exp uses a gfortran feature (emitting
DW_TAG_namelist in the debug info) that has been supported since gfortran 4.9,
see PR gcc/37132.
Skip the test for gfortran 4.8 and earlier. Do this using gcc_major_version,
and update it to be able to handle "gcc_major_version {gfortran-*} f90".
Tested on x86_64-linux, with gfortran 4.8.5, 7.5.0, and 12.1.1.

The dw2-double-set-die-type.exp test case caused an AddressSanitizer
failure in the new DWARF scanner.
The immediate cause was bad DWARF in the test -- in particular, the
the sibling attribute here:
<2><181>: Abbrev Number: 33 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<182> DW_AT_external : 1
<183> DW_AT_name : address
<18b> DW_AT_type : <0x171>
<18f> DW_AT_declaration : 1
<190> DW_AT_sibling : <0x1a1>
...
<1><1a1>: Abbrev Number: 23 (DW_TAG_pointer_type)
<1a2> DW_AT_byte_size : 4
<1a3> DW_AT_type : <0x1a7>
...points to a "sibling" DIE that is at a different child depth.
Because this test case doesn't really require sibling attributes, this
patch fixes the problem by removing them from the test.
Note that gdb is not generally robust against malformed DWARF.
Detecting and compensating for this problem would probably be
expensive and, IMO, is better left to some (still hypothetical) DWARF
linter.

It is not necessary to call get_compiler_info before calling
test_compiler_info, and, after recent commits that removed setting up
the gcc_compiled, true, and false globals from get_compiler_info,
there is now no longer any need for any test script to call
get_compiler_info directly.
As a result every call to get_compiler_info outside of lib/gdb.exp is
redundant, and this commit removes them all.
There should be no change in what is tested after this commit.
|

After this commit the gcc_compiled global is no longer exported from
lib/gdb.exp. In theory we could switch over all uses of gcc_compiled
to instead call test_compiler_info directly, however, I have instead
added a new proc to gdb.exp: 'is_c_compiler_gcc'. I've then updated
the testsuite to call this proc instead of using the global.
Having a new proc specifically for this task means that we have a
single consistent pattern for detecting gcc. By wrapping this logic
within a proc that calls test_compiler_info, rather than using the
global, means that test scripts don't need to call get_compiler_info
before they read the global, simply calling the new proc does
everything in one go.
As a result I've been able to remove the get_compiler_info calls from
all the test scripts that I've touched in this commit.
In some of the tests e.g. gdb.dwarf2/*.exp, the $gcc_compiled flag was
being checked at the top of the script to decide if the whole script
should be skipped or not. In these cases I've called the new proc
directly and removed all uses of gcc_compiled.
In other cases, e.g. most of the gdb.base scripts, there were many
uses of gcc_compiled. In these cases I set a new global gcc_compiled
near the top of the script, and leave the rest of the script
unchanged.
There should be no changes in what is tested after this commit.

If GDB, GDBserver, a testcase program, Valgrind, etc. unexpectedly
crash while running the GDB testsuite, and you've setup your machine
such that core files are dumped in the current directory instead of
being shoved somewhere by abrt, apport, or similar (as you should for
proper GDB testing), you'll end up with an unexpected core file in the
$build/gdb/testsuite/ directory.
It can happen that GDB, GDBserver, etc. even crashes _after_ gdb_exit,
during teardown, and thus such a crash won't be noticed by looking at
the gdb.sum file at all. This commit aims at improving that, by
including a new "unexpected core files" line in the testrun summary.
For example, here's what I get on x86-64 Ubuntu 20.04, with this
patch:
=== gdb Summary ===
# of unexpected core files 12 << new info
# of expected passes 107557
# of unexpected failures 35
# of expected failures 77
# of unknown successes 2
# of known failures 114
# of untested testcases 31
# of unsupported tests 139
I have my core pattern setup like this:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
core.%e.%p.%h.%t
That's:
%e: executable filename
%p: pid
%h: hostname
%t: UNIX time of dump
and so I get these core files:
$ ls -1 testsuite/core.*
testsuite/core.connect-with-no.216191.nelson.1656002431
testsuite/core.connect-with-no.217729.nelson.1656002431
testsuite/core.gdb.194247.nelson.1656002423
testsuite/core.gdb.226014.nelson.1656002435
testsuite/core.gdb.232078.nelson.1656002438
testsuite/core.gdb.352268.nelson.1656002441
testsuite/core.gdb.4152093.nelson.1656002337
testsuite/core.gdb.4154515.nelson.1656002338
testsuite/core.gdb.4156668.nelson.1656002339
testsuite/core.gdb.4158871.nelson.1656002341
testsuite/core.gdb.468495.nelson.1656002444
testsuite/core.vgdb.4192247.nelson.1656002366
where we can see that GDB crashed a number of times, but also
Valgrind's vgdb, and a couple testcase programs. Neither of which is
good.
If your core_pattern is just "core" (but why??), then I guess that you
may end up with just a single core file in testsuite/. Still, that is
one core file too many.
Above, we see a couple cores for "connect-with-no", which are the
result of gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp. This is a case
mentioned above -- while the program crashed, that happens during
testcase teardown, and it goes unnoticed (without this commit) by
gdb.sum results. Vis:
$ make check TESTS="gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp"
...
=== gdb Summary ===
# of unexpected core files 2
# of expected passes 8
...
$
The tests fully passed, but still the testcase program crashed
somehow:
$ ls -1 testsuite/core.*
testsuite/core.connect-with-no.941561.nelson.1656003317
testsuite/core.connect-with-no.941682.nelson.1656003317
Against --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver it's even worse. I
get:
# of unexpected core files 26
and note that when GDBserver hits an assertion failure, it exits with
error, instead of crashing with SIGABRT. I think that should be
changed, at least on development builds, but that would be for another
patch. After such patch, I suspect the number of unexpected cores
will be higher, as there are likely teardown GDBserver assertions that
we're not noticing.
I decided to put this new info in the "gdb Summary" section, as that's
a place people already are used to looking at, either when looking at
the tail of gdb.sum, or when diffing gdb.sum files, and we've already
extended this section before, to include the count of DUPLICATE and
PATH problems, so there's precedent.
Implementation-wise, the new line is appended after DejaGnu is
finished, with a shell script that is invoked by the Makefile. It is
done this way so that serial and parallel testing work the same way.
My initial cut at an implementation was in TCL, straight in
testsuite/lib/check-test-names.exp, where DUPLICATES and PATH are
handled, like so:
@@ -148,6 +159,10 @@ namespace eval ::CheckTestNames {
$counts(paths,$which)
maybe_show_count "# of duplicate test names\t" \
$counts(duplicates,$which)
+
+ set cores [glob -nocomplain -directory $::objdir core*]
+ maybe_show_count "# of unexpected core files\t" \
+ [llength $cores]
}
But that would only work for serial testing, as in parallel testing,
the final gdb.sum is generated by aggregating the results of all the
individual gdb.sum files, and dg-extract-results.sh doesn't know about
our new summary line. And I don't think that dg-extract-results.sh
should be taught about it, since the count of core files is not
something that we want to count many times, once per testcase, and
then add up the subcounts at the end. Every time we count the core
files, we're already counting the final count.
I considered using the Tcl implementation in serial mode, and the
script approach for parallel testing, but that has the obvious
downside of implementing and maintaining the same thing twice. In the
end, I settled on the script approach for serial mode too, which
requires making the "check-single" rule print the tail end of the
gdb.sum file, with a side effect being that if you look at the
terminal after a run (instead of at the gdb.sum file), you'll see the
"gdb Summary" section twice, once without the unexpected core lines
printed, and then another with. IMO, this isn't an issue; when
testing in parallel mode, if you look at the terminal after "make -jN
check", you'll also see multiple "gdb Summary" sections printed.
