linux-nat.c: fix a few lin_lwp_attach_lwp issues
This function has a few latent bugs that are triggered by a non-stop mode test that will be added in a subsequent patch. First, as described in the function's intro comment, the function is supposed to return 1 if we're already auto attached to the thread, but haven't processed the PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE event of its parent thread yet. Then, we may find that we're trying to attach to a clone child that hasn't yet stopped for its initial stop, and therefore 'waitpid(..., WNOHANG)' returns 0. In that case, we're currently adding the LWP to the stopped_pids list, which results in linux_handle_extended_wait skipping the waitpid call on the child, and thus confusing things later on when the child eventually reports the stop. Then, the tail end of lin_lwp_attach_lwp always sets the last_resume_kind of the LWP to resume_stop, which is wrong given that the user may be doing "info threads" while some threads are running. And then, the else branch of lin_lwp_attach_lwp always sets the stopped flag of the LWP. This branch is reached if the LWP is the main LWP, which may well be running at this point (to it's wrong to set its 'stopped' flag). AFAICS, there's no reason anymore for special-casing the main/leader LWP here: - For the "attach" case, linux_nat_attach already adds the main LWP to the lwp list, and sets its 'stopped' flag. - For the "run" case, after linux_nat_create_inferior, end up in linux_nat_wait_1 here: /* The first time we get here after starting a new inferior, we may not have added it to the LWP list yet - this is the earliest moment at which we know its PID. */ if (ptid_is_pid (inferior_ptid)) { /* Upgrade the main thread's ptid. */ thread_change_ptid (inferior_ptid, ptid_build (ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid), ptid_get_pid (inferior_ptid), 0)); lp = add_initial_lwp (inferior_ptid); lp->resumed = 1; } ... which adds the LWP to the LWP list already, before lin_lwp_attach_lwp can ever be reached. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-02-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-nat.c (lin_lwp_attach_lwp): No longer special case the main LWP. Handle the case of waitpid returning 0 if we're already attached to the LWP. Don't set the LWP's last_resume_kind to resume_stop if we already knew about the LWP. (linux_nat_filter_event): Add debug logs.
