[gdb] Fix segfault in for_each_block, part 1
When running test-case gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp on powerpc64 (likewise on s390x), I run into: ... (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp: \ exec_file=vfork-follow-parent-exit: target-non-stop=on: non-stop=off: \ resolution_method=schedule-multiple: print unblock_parent = 1 continue^M Continuing.^M Reading symbols from vfork-follow-parent-exit...^M ^M ^M Fatal signal: Segmentation fault^M ----- Backtrace -----^M 0x1027d3e7 gdb_internal_backtrace_1^M src/gdb/bt-utils.c:122^M 0x1027d54f _Z22gdb_internal_backtracev^M src/gdb/bt-utils.c:168^M 0x1057643f handle_fatal_signal^M src/gdb/event-top.c:889^M 0x10576677 handle_sigsegv^M src/gdb/event-top.c:962^M 0x3fffa7610477 ???^M 0x103f2144 for_each_block^M src/gdb/dcache.c:199^M 0x103f235b _Z17dcache_invalidateP13dcache_struct^M src/gdb/dcache.c:251^M 0x10bde8c7 _Z24target_dcache_invalidatev^M src/gdb/target-dcache.c:50^M ... or similar. The root cause for the segmentation fault is that linux_is_uclinux gives an incorrect result: it should always return false, given that we're running on a regular linux system, but instead it returns first true, then false. In more detail, the segmentation fault happens as follows: - a program space with an address space is created - a second program space is about to be created. maybe_new_address_space is called, and because linux_is_uclinux returns true, maybe_new_address_space returns false, and no new address space is created - a second program space with the same address space is created - a program space is deleted. Because linux_is_uclinux now returns false, gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (current_inferior ()->arch ()) returns false, and the address space is deleted - when gdb uses the address space of the remaining program space, we run into the segfault, because the address space is deleted. Hardcoding linux_is_uclinux to false makes the test-case pass. We leave addressing the root cause for the following commit in this series. For now, prevent the segmentation fault by making the address space a refcounted object. This was already suggested here [1]: ... A better solution might be to have the address spaces be reference counted ... Tested on top of trunk on x86_64-linux and ppc64le-linux. Tested on top of gdb-14-branch on ppc64-linux.
