From: Pedro Alves Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 20:28:18 +0000 (+0100) Subject: gcore, handle exited threads better X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8df017996f662ce6ab23aea4abeb8f7ac1f62651;p=binutils-gdb.git gcore, handle exited threads better An early (and since discarded) version of this series tried to make exited threads have distinct PTID between each other, and that change exposed a problem in linux-tdep.c... This was exposed by the gdb.threads/gcore-stale-thread.exp testcase, which is exactly about calling gcore with an exited thread selected: (gdb) [Thread 0x7ffff7fb6740 (LWP 31523) exited] PASS: gdb.threads/gcore-stale-thread.exp: continue to breakpoint: break-here gcore /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/gcore-stale-thread/gcore-stale-thread.core /home/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb/build/../src/gdb/inferior.c:66: internal-error: void set_current_inferior(inferior*): Assertion `inf != NULL' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, That was find_inferior_ptid being called on the "exited" ptid, which on that previous (and discarded attempt) had pid==-1. The problem is that linux-tdep.c, where it looks for the signalled thread, isn't considering exited threads. Also, while at it, that code isn't considering multi-target either, since it is using iterate_over_threads which iterates over all threads of all targets. Fixed by switching to range-for iteration instead. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-06-18 Pedro Alves * linux-tdep.c (find_signalled_thread(thread_info *,void *)): Delete. (find_signalled_thread()): New, factored out from linux_make_corefile_notes and adjusted to handle exited threads. (linux_make_corefile_notes): Adjust to use the new find_signalled_thread. --- diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 5611c42049c..ab911076394 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +2020-06-18 Pedro Alves + + * linux-tdep.c (find_signalled_thread(thread_info *,void *)): + Delete. + (find_signalled_thread()): New, factored out from + linux_make_corefile_notes and adjusted to handle exited threads. + (linux_make_corefile_notes): Adjust to use the new + find_signalled_thread. + 2020-06-18 Pedro Alves * linux-tdep.c (btrace_fetch): Save/restore current thread instead diff --git a/gdb/linux-tdep.c b/gdb/linux-tdep.c index d51d953ee20..fd4337f100d 100644 --- a/gdb/linux-tdep.c +++ b/gdb/linux-tdep.c @@ -1396,18 +1396,6 @@ linux_find_memory_regions (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, &data); } -/* Determine which signal stopped execution. */ - -static int -find_signalled_thread (struct thread_info *info, void *data) -{ - if (info->suspend.stop_signal != GDB_SIGNAL_0 - && info->ptid.pid () == inferior_ptid.pid ()) - return 1; - - return 0; -} - /* This is used to pass information from linux_make_mappings_corefile_notes through linux_find_memory_regions_full. */ @@ -1855,6 +1843,30 @@ linux_fill_prpsinfo (struct elf_internal_linux_prpsinfo *p) return 1; } +/* Find the signalled thread.
