PR 20569, segv in follow_exec
The following testcases make GDB crash whenever an invalid sysroot is provided, when GDB is unable to find a valid path to the symbol file: gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp gdb.base/foll-exec.exp gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp gdb.base/pie-execl.exp gdb.multi/bkpt-multi-exec.exp gdb.python/py-finish-breakpoint.exp gdb.threads/execl.exp gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp The immediate cause of the segv is that follow_exec is passing a NULL argument (the result of exec_file_find) to strlen. However, the problem is deeper than that: follow_exec simply isn't prepared for the case where sysroot translation fails to locate the new executable. Actually all callers of exec_file_find have bugs due to confusion between host and target pathnames. This commit attempts to fix all that. In terms of the testcases that were formerly segv'ing, GDB now prints a warning but continues execution of the new program, so that the tests now mostly FAIL instead. You could argue the FAILs are due to a legitimate problem with the test environment setting up the sysroot translation incorrectly. A new representative test is added which exercises the ne wwarning code path even with native testing. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23, native and gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-10-25 Sandra Loosemore <sandra@codesourcery.com> Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/20569 * exceptions.c (exception_print_same): Moved here from exec.c. * exceptions.h (exception_print_same): Declare. * exec.h: Include "symfile-add-flags.h".
