From: Philippe Waroquiers Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2019 09:55:11 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Implement 'set/show exec-file-mismatch'. X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a2fedca99c;p=binutils-gdb.git Implement 'set/show exec-file-mismatch'. This option allows to tell GDB to detect and possibly handle mismatched exec-files. A recurrent problem with GDB is that GDB uses the wrong exec-file when using the attach/detach commands successively. Also, in case the user specifies a file on the command line but attaches to the wrong PID, this error is not made visible and gives a not user understandable behaviour. For example: $ gdb ...

(in this case, 31069 is the PID of a GDB, that has nothing to do with the first determined 'sleepers' executable). Similarly, if specifying an executable, but attaching to a wrong pid, we get: gdb /home/philippe/valgrind/git/trunk_untouched/gdbserver_tests/sleepers ...

() (gdb) And it is unclear to the user what has happened/what is going wrong. This patch series implements a new option: (gdb) apropos exec-file-mismatch set exec-file-mismatch -- Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off). show exec-file-mismatch -- Show exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off). (gdb) help set exec-file-mismatch Set exec-file-mismatch handling (ask|warn|off). Specifies how to handle a mismatch between the current exec-file name loaded by GDB and the exec-file name automatically determined when attaching to a process: ask - warn the user and ask whether to load the determined exec-file. warn - warn the user, but do not change the exec-file. off - do not check for mismatch. "ask" means: in case of mismatch between the current exec-file name and the automatically determined exec-file name of the PID we are attaching to, give a warning to the user and ask whether to load the automatically determined exec-file. "warn" means: in case of mismatch, just give a warning to the user. "off" means: do not check for mismatch. This fixes PR gdb/17626. There was a previous trial to fix this PR. See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-07/msg00118.html This trial was however only fixing the problem for the automatically determined executable files when doing attach. It was differentiating the 'user specified executable files' ("sticky") from the executable files automatically found by GDB. But such user specified sticky executables are in most cases due to a wrong manipulation by the user, giving unexpected results such as backtrace showing no function like in the above example. This patch ensures that whenever a process executable can be determined, that the user is warned if there is a mismatch. The same tests as above then give: (gdb) atta 2682 Attaching to process 2682 [New LWP 2683] [New LWP 2684] [New LWP 2685] [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". 0x00007f5ff829f603 in select () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 84 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory.

If ever the user gave the correct executable on the command line, then attached to the wrong pid, then confirmed loading the wrong executable, the user can simply fix this by detaching, and attaching to the correct pid, GDB will then tell again to the user that the exec-file might better be loaded. The default value of "ask" is chosen instead of e.g. "warn" as in most cases, switching of executable will be the correct action, and in any case, the user can decide to not load the executable, as GDB asks a confirmation to the user to load the new executable. For settings "ask" and "warn", the new function validate_exec_file () tries to get the inferior pid exec file and compares it with the current exec file. In case of mismatch, it warns the user and optionally load the executable. This function is called in the attach_command implementation to cover most cases of attaching to a running process. It must also be called in remote.c, as the attach command is not supported for all types of remote gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog 2020-01-25 Philippe Waroquiers * exec.c (exec_file_mismatch_names, exec_file_mismatch_mode) (show_exec_file_mismatch_command, set_exec_file_mismatch_command) (validate_exec_file): New variables, enums, functions.
