Fix and test "checkpoint" in non-stop mode
Letting a "checkpoint" run to exit with "set non-stop on" behaves differently compared to the default all-stop mode ("set non-stop off"). Currently, in non-stop mode: (gdb) start Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40086b: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c, line 28. Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28 28 char *tmp = &linebuf[0]; (gdb) checkpoint checkpoint 1: fork returned pid 24948. (gdb) c Continuing. Copy complete. Deleting copy. [Inferior 1 (process 24944) exited normally] [Switching to process 24948] (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame 1 process 24948 "checkpoint" (running) No selected thread. See `help thread'. (gdb) c The program is not being run. (gdb) Two issues above: 1. Thread 1 got stuck in "(running)" state (it isn't really running) 2. While checkpoints try to preserve the illusion that the thread is still the same when the process exits, GDB switched to "No thread selected." instead of staying with thread 1 selected. Problem #1 is caused by handle_inferior_event and normal_stop not considering that when a TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED/TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED event is reported, and the inferior is mourned, the target may still have execution. Problem #2 is caused by the make_cleanup_restore_current_thread cleanup installed by fetch_inferior_event not being able to find the original thread 1's ptid in the thread list, thus not being able to restore thread 1 as selected thread. The fix is to make the cleanup installed by make_cleanup_restore_current_thread aware of thread ptid changes, by installing a thread_ptid_changed observer that adjusts the cleanup's data. After the patch, we get the same in all-stop and non-stop modes: (gdb) c Continuing. Copy complete. Deleting copy. [Inferior 1 (process 25109) exited normally] [Switching to process 25113] (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 process 25113 "checkpoint" main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28 (gdb) Turns out the whole checkpoints.exp file can run in non-stop mode unmodified. I thought of moving most of the test file's contents to a procedure that can be called twice, once in non-stop mode and another in all-stop mode. But then, the test already takes close to 30 seconds to run on my machine, so I thought it'd be nicer to run all-stop and non-stop mode in parallel. Thus I added a new checkpoint-ns.exp file that just appends "set non-stop on" to GDBFLAGS and sources checkpoint.exp. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): If we get TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED or TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED in non-stop mode, mark all threads of the exiting process as not-executing. (normal_stop): If we get TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED or TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED in non-stop mode, finish all threads of the exiting process, if inferior_ptid still points at a process. * thread.c (struct current_thread_cleanup) <next>: New field. (current_thread_cleanup_chain): New global. (restore_current_thread_ptid_changed): New function. (restore_current_thread_cleanup_dtor): Remove the cleanup from the current_thread_cleanup_chain list. (make_cleanup_restore_current_thread): Add the cleanup data to the current_thread_cleanup_chain list. (_initialize_thread): Install restore_current_thread_ptid_changed as thread_ptid_changed observer. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp: New file. * gdb.base/checkpoint.exp: Pass explicit "checkpoint.c" to standard_testfile.
