From 92c9bcd479e4cb388a7f286fc42414b115cfc656 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kratochvil Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:21:40 +0200 Subject: Fix regression for Linux vDSO in GDB (PR gdb/17407). since 5979d6b69b20a8355ea94b75fad97415fce4788c https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=5979d6b69b20a8355ea94b75fad97415fce4788c vdso handling https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-03/msg00082.html https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-04/msg00003.html Message-ID: I get on kernel-3.16.2-200.fc20.x86_64 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=575860 attaching its vdso.bin.gz GDB (FSF HEAD 5e43d46791c4c66fd83947a12d4f716b561a9103) regression: reproducer: ./gdb -ex start ./gdb actual result / FAIL: Got object file from memory but can't read symbols: File truncated. expected result / PASS: or / PASS: warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1. Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"? That "warning: Could not load shared library..." is mostly harmless (it is a bug in GDB), in the FAIL case it is not printed just because bfd_check_format() fails there. It seems logical to me this way when the 'size' parameter has been already added. Alan Modra: I was wrongly thinking that the section headers were always last when I wrote that code. (They are now! If you relink that vdso with current binutils master you won't hit this problem, but that of course doesn't help existing kernels.) I do not see a regression for add-symbol-file-from-memory for libncurses.so.5 from the original thread above.
