gdb/remote: call target_pre_inferior in remote_target::remote_add_inferior
Since commit 3cb6bc13e328 ("gdb/progspace: add solib_ops pointer in program_space"), and with the previous patch applied ("gdb/remote: use scoped_restore_current_program_space in remote_unpush_target"), we get this failure: $ make check TESTS="gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver" In gdb.log: (gdb) PASS: gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.exp: kill: 0, follow-child 1: disconnect target extended-remote localhost:2348 Remote debugging using localhost:2348 /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/progspace.h:240: internal-error: set_solib_ops: Assertion `m_solib_ops == nullptr' failed. When connecting to a remote that has one or more inferior already running, the remote target (the GDB-side code) tries to re-use existing GDB inferiors that are unused. The problem is that the program space of the inferior that gets re-used unexpectedly has its solib_ops set. I think that the problem is that when connecting to a remote target that has multiple inferiors, target_pre_inferior only gets called for the currently selected (client-side) inferior. It happens here: #0 target_pre_inferior () at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/target.c:2454 #1 0x0000559c832a350a in target_preopen (from_tty=1) at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/target.c:2510 #2 0x0000559c82e1b8f1 in remote_target::open_1 (name=0x50200006eb58 ":2345", from_tty=1, extended_p=1) at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/remote.c:6171 #3 0x0000559c82e18a5d in extended_remote_target::open (name=0x50200006eb58 ":2345", from_tty=1) at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/remote.c:5446 #4 0x0000559c8329a43e in open_target (args=0x50200006eb58 ":2345", from_tty=1, command=0x512000072c40) at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/target.c:839 I think that target_pre_inferior should be called for the other inferiors that gain execution as a result of connecting to the remote target, to make sure inferior or program space-specific data from previous executions gets cleared. target_pre_inferior is what clears any previous solib_ops. It is possible to observe the problem by adding this print in target_pre_inferior: printf (">>> target_pre_inferior called for inferior %d\n", current_inferior ()->num); Then, starting a gdbserver: $ gdbserver --multi localhost:2345 Then, this gdb command that starts two remote inferiors, disconnects (leaving gdbserver and the inferiors running), then reconnects: $ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q \ -ex 'set sysroot /' \ -ex 'target extended-remote :2345' \ -ex 'file testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/extended-remote-restart/extended-remote-restart' \ -ex 'set remote exec-file testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/extended-remote-restart/extended-remote-restart' \ -ex 'b main' \ -ex r \ -ex 'add-inferior' \ -ex 'inferior 2' \ -ex 'file testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/extended-remote-restart/extended-remote-restart' \ -ex 'run' \ -ex 'inferior 1' \ -ex 'disconnect' \ -ex 'echo About to reconnect\n' \ -ex 'target extended-remote :2345' >>> target_pre_inferior called for inferior 1 Remote debugging using :2345 Reading symbols from /home/smarchi/build/wt/amd/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/extended-remote-restart/extended-remote-restart...

About to reconnect >>> target_pre_inferior called for inferior 1 Remote debugging using :2345 main () at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.c:50 50 pid = fork (); We can see that target_pre_inferior is only called for inferior 1 when reconnecting (after the "About to reconnect" message). After adding the call to target_pre_inferior in remote_add_inferior, we get (just the last bit): About to reconnect >>> target_pre_inferior called for inferior 1 Remote debugging using :2345 >>> target_pre_inferior called for inferior 1 >>> target_pre_inferior called for inferior 2 Reading symbols from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6...

(No debugging symbols found in /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) main () at /home/smarchi/src/wt/amd/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/extended-remote-restart.c:50 50 pid = fork (); The duplicate calls to target_pre_inferior for inferior 1 are due to the existing call in target_preopen. It might be possible to get rid of it: with the call I added in remote_target::remote_add_inferior, I presume it's now unnecessary for the remote target to have the call in target_preopen as well. But since target_preopen is used by other targets, I prefer to leave it there to be safe, for the moment. Calling target_pre_inferior multiple times should not be a problem, as it should be idempotent. However, once I added that, test gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp started failing, with this in the logs: target remote localhost:2347 Remote debugging using localhost:2347 Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 560 bytes, got 820 bytes): 000000... <truncated> It became apparent that the new call to target_pre_inferior would wipe a previously fetched target description. I fixed that by adding calls to target_find_description in two callers of remote_add_inferior. I'm not 100% sure of what I'm doing here, but it seems somewhat correct that when we map a remote inferior to an existing client-side inferior, we wipe out any previous target description (which would have been left by a previous execution) and fetch a new one. The other call to remote_add_inferior is in extended_remote_target::attach, where there is already a call to target_find_description shortly after.
