From: Pedro Alves Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 14:51:36 +0000 (+0100) Subject: non-stop-fair-events.exp slower on software single-step && !displ-step targets X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ed415e2b9b985aac087c35949d0e1e489ab496d;p=binutils-gdb.git non-stop-fair-events.exp slower on software single-step && !displ-step targets On software single-step targets that don't support displaced stepping, threads keep hitting each other's single-step breakpoints, and then GDB needs to pause all threads to step past those. The end result is that progress in the main thread will be slower and it may take a bit longer for the signal to be queued. This patch bumps the timeout on such targets. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-09-16 Pedro Alves Sandra Loosemore * gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.c (timeout): New global. (SECONDS): Redefine. (main): Call pthread_kill and alarm early. * gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp: Probe displaced stepping support. (test): If the target can't hardware step and doesn't support displaced stepping, increase the timeout. --- diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog index ca2dfdef482..2e9a6058d93 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +2015-09-16 Pedro Alves + Sandra Loosemore + + * gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.c (timeout): New global. + (SECONDS): Redefine. + (main): Call pthread_kill and alarm early. + * gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp: Probe displaced stepping + support. + (test): If the target can't hardware step and doesn't support + displaced stepping, increase the timeout. + 2015-09-16 Pedro Alves * gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp (gdb_test_no_anchor) diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.c b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.c index f82c366a681..700676b86f5 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.c +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.c @@ -24,7 +24,9 @@ const int num_threads = NUM_THREADS; /* Allow for as much timeout as DejaGnu wants, plus a bit of slack. */ -#define SECONDS (TIMEOUT + 20) + +volatile unsigned int timeout = TIMEOUT; +#define SECONDS (timeout + 20) pthread_t child_thread[NUM_THREADS]; volatile pthread_t signal_thread; @@ -69,6 +71,11 @@ main (void) int res; int i; + /* Call these early so that we're sure their PLTs are quickly + resolved now, instead of in the busy threads. */ + pthread_kill (pthread_self (), 0); + alarm (0); + signal (SIGUSR1, handler); for (i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++) diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp index 37f5bcb5d7a..27b50c5ef39 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/non-stop-fair-events.exp @@ -62,6 +62,21 @@ set NUM_THREADS [get_value "num_threads" "get num_threads"] # Account for the main thread. incr NUM_THREADS +# Probe for displaced stepping support.
