The problem was # spotted on systems which were heavily loaded when attaching to # threaded test programs. What happened was that during the initial # attach, the loop of waitpid calls that normally received the stop # events from each of the threads in the inferior was not receiving a # stop event for some threads (the kernel just hadn't sent the stop # event yet). # # GDB would then trigger a call to stop_all_threads which would # continue to wait for all of the outstanding threads to stop, when # the outstanding stop events finally arrived GDB would then # (incorrectly) discard the stop event, resume the thread, and # continue to wait for the thread to stop.... which it now never # would. # # In order to try and expose this issue reliably, this test preloads a # library that intercepts waitpid calls. All waitpid calls targeting # pid -1 with the WNOHANG flag are rate limited so that only 1 per # second can complete. Additional calls are forced to return 0 # indicating no event waiting. This is enough to trigger the bug # during the attach phase. # This test only works on Linux if { ![isnative] || [is_remote host] || [use_gdb_stub] || ![istarget *-linux*] } { continue } standard_testfile set libfile slow-waitpid set libsrc "${srcdir}/${subdir}/${libfile}.c" set libobj [standard_output_file ${libfile}.so] with_test_prefix "compile preload library" { # Compile the preload library.
