Fix issue #15778: GDB Aarch64 signal frame unwinder issue
The root cause of this issue is unwinder of "#3 <signal handler called>"
doesn't supply right values of registers.
When GDB want to get the previous frame of "#3 <signal handler called>",
it will call cache init function of unwinder "aarch64_linux_sigframe_init".
The address or the value of the registers is get from this function.
So the bug is inside thie function.
I check the asm code of "#3 <signal handler called>":
(gdb) frame 3
(gdb) p $pc
$1 = (void (*)()) 0x7f931fa4d0
(gdb) disassemble $pc, +10
Dump of assembler code from 0x7f931fa4d0 to 0x7f931fa4da:
=> 0x0000007f931fa4d0: mov x8, #0x8b // #139
0x0000007f931fa4d4: svc #0x0
0x0000007f931fa4d8: nop
This is the syscall sys_rt_sigreturn, Linux kernel function "restore_sigframe"
will set the frame:
for (i = 0; i < 31; i++)
__get_user_error(regs->regs[i], &sf->uc.uc_mcontext.regs[i],
err);
__get_user_error(regs->sp, &sf->uc.uc_mcontext.sp, err);
__get_user_error(regs->pc, &sf->uc.uc_mcontext.pc, err);
The struct of uc_mcontext is:
struct sigcontext {
__u64 fault_address;
/* AArch64 registers */
__u64 regs[31];
__u64 sp;
__u64 pc;
__u64 pstate;
/* 4K reserved for FP/SIMD state and future expansion */
__u8 __reserved[4096] __attribute__((__aligned__(16)));
};
But in GDB function "aarch64_linux_sigframe_init", the code the get address
of registers is:
for (i = 0; i < 31; i++)
{
trad_frame_set_reg_addr (this_cache,
AARCH64_X0_REGNUM + i,
sigcontext_addr + AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_XO_OFFSET
+ i * AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_REG_SIZE);
}
trad_frame_set_reg_addr (this_cache, AARCH64_FP_REGNUM, fp);
trad_frame_set_reg_addr (this_cache, AARCH64_LR_REGNUM, fp + 8);
trad_frame_set_reg_addr (this_cache, AARCH64_PC_REGNUM, fp + 8);
The code that get pc and sp is not right, so I change the code according
to Linux kernel code:
trad_frame_set_reg_addr (this_cache, AARCH64_SP_REGNUM,
sigcontext_addr + AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_XO_OFFSET
+ 31 * AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_REG_SIZE);
trad_frame_set_reg_addr (this_cache, AARCH64_PC_REGNUM,
sigcontext_addr + AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_XO_OFFSET
+ 32 * AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_REG_SIZE);
The issue was fixed by this change, and I did the regression test. It
also fixed a lot of other XFAIL and FAIL.
