Fix failure to detach if process exits while detaching on Linux
This commit fixes detaching on Linux when some thread exits the whole thread group (process) just while we're detaching. On Linux, a ptracer must detach from each LWP individually, with PTRACE_DETACH. Since PTRACE_DETACH sets the thread running free, if one of the already-detached threads causes the whole thread group to exit (e.g., simply calls exit), the kernel force-kills the other threads in the group, making them zombie, just as we're still detaching them. Since PTRACE_DETACH against a zombie thread fails with ESRCH, and gdb/gdbserver are not expecting this, the detach fails with an error like: "Can't detach process: No such process.". This patch detects this detach failure as normal, and instead of erroring out, reaps the now-dead thread. New test included, that exercises several different scenarios that cause GDB/GDBserver to error out when it should not. Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux with {unix, native-gdbserver, native-extended-gdbserver} Note: without the previous fix, the "single-process + continue" variant of the new test would fail with: (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: switch to parent continue Continuing. Warning: Could not insert hardware watchpoint 3. Could not insert hardware breakpoints: You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints. Command aborted. (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: continue gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2016-07-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> Antoine Tremblay <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com> * linux-low.c: Change interface to take the target lwp_info pointer directly and return void. Handle detaching from a zombie thread. (linux_detach_lwp_callback): New function. (linux_detach): Detach from the leader thread after detaching from the clone threads. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-07-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> Antoine Tremblay <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com> * inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_detach_success): New function, factored out from ... (inf_ptrace_detach): ... here. * inf-ptrace.h (inf_ptrace_detach_success): New declaration. * linux-nat.c (get_pending_status): Rename to ... (get_detach_signal): ... this, and return a host signal instead of filling in a wait status. (detach_one_lwp): New function, factored out from detach_callback and adjusted to handle detaching from a zombie thread. (detach_callback): Skip the leader thread. (linux_nat_detach): No longer defer to inf_ptrace_detach to detach the leader thread, nor build a signal string to pass down. Instead, use target_announce_detach, detach_one_lwp and inf_ptrace_detach_success. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-07-01 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> Antoine Tremblay <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com> * gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.c: New file. * gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: New file.

+# This test spawns a few threads that immediately exit the whole
+# process. On targets where the debugger needs to detach from each
+# thread individually (such as on the Linux kernel), the debugger must
+# handle the case of the process exiting while the detach is ongoing.
+#
+# Similarly, the process can also be killed from outside the debugger
+# (e.g., with SIGKILL), _before_ the user requests a detach. The
+# debugger must likewise detach gracefully.
+#
+# The testcase actually builds two variants of the test program:
+# single-process, and multi-process. In the multi-process variant,
+# the test program forks, and it's the fork child that spawns threads
+# that exit just while the process is being detached from. The fork
+# parent waits for its child to exit, so if GDB fails to detach from
+# the child correctly, the parent hangs. Because continuing the
+# parent can mask failure to detach from the child correctly (e.g.,
+# due to waitpid(-1,...) calls deep in the target layers managing to
+# reap the child), we try immediately detaching from the parent too,
+# and observing whether the parent exits via standard output.
+#
+# Normally, if testing with "target remote" against gdbserver, then
+# after detaching from all attached processes, gdbserver exits.
+# However, when gdbserver detaches from a process that is its own
+# direct child, gdbserver does not exit immediately. Instead it
+# "joins" (waits for) the child, only exiting when the child itself
+# exits too. Thus, on Linux, if gdbserver fails to detach from the
+# zombie child's threads correctly (or rather, reap them), it'll hang,
+# because the leader thread will only return an exit status after all
+# threads are reaped. We test that as well.
