GDBserver crashes when killing a multi-thread process
Here's an example, with the new test: gdbserver :9999 gdb.threads/kill gdb gdb.threads/kill (gdb) b 52 Breakpoint 1 at 0x4007f4: file kill.c, line 52. Continuing. Breakpoint 1, main () at kill.c:52 52 return 0; /* set break here */ (gdb) k Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y gdbserver :9999 gdb.threads/kill Process gdb.base/watch_thread_num created; pid = 9719 Listening on port 1234 Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1 Killing all inferiors Segmentation fault (core dumped) Backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 0x00000000004068a0 in find_inferior (list=0x66b060 <all_threads>, func=0x427637 <kill_one_lwp_callback>, arg=0x7fffffffd3fc) at src/gdb/gdbserver/inferiors.c:199 #1 0x00000000004277b6 in linux_kill (pid=15708) at src/gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:966 #2 0x000000000041354d in kill_inferior (pid=15708) at src/gdb/gdbserver/target.c:163 #3 0x00000000004107e9 in kill_inferior_callback (entry=0x6704f0) at src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:2934 #4 0x0000000000406522 in for_each_inferior (list=0x66b050 <all_processes>, action=0x4107a6 <kill_inferior_callback>) at src/gdb/gdbserver/inferiors.c:57 #5 0x0000000000412377 in process_serial_event () at src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:3767 #6 0x000000000041267c in handle_serial_event (err=0, client_data=0x0) at src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:3880 #7 0x00000000004189ff in handle_file_event (event_file_desc=4) at src/gdb/gdbserver/event-loop.c:434 #8 0x00000000004181c6 in process_event () at src/gdb/gdbserver/event-loop.c:189 #9 0x0000000000418f45 in start_event_loop () at src/gdb/gdbserver/event-loop.c:552 #10 0x0000000000411272 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffd8d8) at src/gdb/gdbserver/server.c:3283 The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited (even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread list is being walked on with find_inferior. find_inferior can handle the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others. When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending status handling of linux_wait_for_event. We can just waitpid the lwps directly, which is also what GDB does (see linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback). This way the lwps are not deleted while we're walking the list. They'll be deleted by linux_mourn afterwards. This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no FAIL. The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too). Here's how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix: (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame 6 Thread 15367.15374 0x000000373bcbc98d in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 5 Thread 15367.15373 0x000000373bcbc98d in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 4 Thread 15367.15372 0x000000373bcbc98d in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 3 Thread 15367.15371 0x000000373bcbc98d in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 2 Thread 15367.15370 0x000000373bcbc98d in nanosleep () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81 * 1 Thread 15367.15367 main () at .../gdb.threads/kill.c:52 (gdb) kill Kill the program being debugged?
