[gdb/cli] Warn about forced return from signal trampoline
The Linaro CI reported a regression on arm-linux in test-case
gdb.base/sigstep.exp following commit 7b46460a619 ("[gdb/symtab] Apply
workaround for PR gas/31115 a bit more") [1]:
...
(gdb) return^M
Make __default_sa_restorer return now? (y or n) n^M
Not confirmed^M
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: return from handleri: \
leave signal trampoline (got interactive prompt)
...
After installing package glibc-debuginfo and adding --with-separate-debug-dir
to the configure flags, I managed to reproduce the FAIL.
The regression seems to be a progression in the sense that the function name
for the signal trampoline is found.
After reading up on the signal trampoline [2] and the return command [3], my
understanding is that forced returning from the signal trampoline is
potentially unsafe, given that for instance the process signal mask won't be
restored.
Fix this by:
- rather than using the name, using "signal trampoline" in the query, and
- adding a warning about returning from a signal trampoline,
giving us:
...
(gdb) return^M
warning: Returning from signal trampoline does not fully restore pre-signal \
state, such as process signal mask.^M
Make signal trampoline return now? (y or n) y^M
87 dummy = 0; dummy = 0; while (!done);^M
(gdb) PASS: $exp: return from handleri: leave signal trampoline (in main)
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.
