From 3ceda72296e87579632a0929a638be1f9e5c97d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Buettner Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2022 14:45:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix GDB internal error by using text (instead of data) section offset Fedora Rawhide is now using gcc-12.0. As part of updating to the gcc-12.0 package set, Rawhide is also now using a version of libgcc_s which lacks a .data section. This causes gdb to fail in the following fashion while debugging a program (such as gdb) which uses libgcc_s: (top-gdb) run Starting program: rawhide-master/bld/gdb/gdb ... objfiles.h:467: internal-error: sect_index_data not initialized A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. ... I snipped the backtrace from the above output. Instead, here's a portion of a backtrace obtained using GDB's backtrace command. (Obviously, in order to obtain it, I used a GDB which has been patched with this commit.) #0 internal_error ( file=0xc6a508 "gdb/objfiles.h", line=467, fmt=0xc6a4e8 "sect_index_data not initialized") at gdbsupport/errors.cc:51 #1 0x00000000005f9651 in objfile::data_section_offset (this=0x4fa48f0) at gdb/objfiles.h:467 #2 0x000000000097c5f8 in relocate_address (address=0x17244, objfile=0x4fa48f0) at gdb/stap-probe.c:1333 #3 0x000000000097c630 in stap_probe::get_relocated_address (this=0xa1a17a0, objfile=0x4fa48f0) at gdb/stap-probe.c:1341 #4 0x00000000004d7025 in create_exception_master_breakpoint_probe ( objfile=0x4fa48f0) at gdb/breakpoint.c:3505 #5 0x00000000004d7426 in create_exception_master_breakpoint () at gdb/breakpoint.c:3575 #6 0x00000000004efcc1 in breakpoint_re_set () at gdb/breakpoint.c:13407 #7 0x0000000000956998 in solib_add (pattern=0x0, from_tty=0, readsyms=1) at gdb/solib.c:1001 #8 0x00000000009576a8 in handle_solib_event () at gdb/solib.c:1269 ... The function 'relocate_address' in gdb/stap-probe.c attempts to do its "relocation" by using objfile->data_section_offset(). That method, data_section_offset() is defined as follows in objfiles.h: CORE_ADDR data_section_offset () const { return section_offsets[SECT_OFF_DATA (this)]; } The internal error occurs when the SECT_OFF_DATA macro finds that the 'sect_index_data' field is -1: #define SECT_OFF_DATA(objfile) \ ((objfile->sect_index_data == -1) \ ? (internal_error (__FILE__, __LINE__, \ _("sect_index_data not initialized")), -1) \ : objfile->sect_index_data) relocate_address() is obtaining the section offset in order to compute a relocated address. For some ABIs, such as the System V ABI, the section offsets will all be the same. So for those ABIs, it doesn't matter which offset is used. However, other ABIs, such as the FDPIC ABI, will have different offsets for the various sections. Thus, for those ABIs, it is vital that this and other relocation code use the correct offset. In stap_probe::get_relocated_address, the address to which to add the offset (thus forming the relocated address) is obtained via this->get_address (); get_address is a getter for m_address in probe.h. It's documented/defined as follows (also in probe.h): /* The address where the probe is inserted, relative to SECT_OFF_TEXT. */ CORE_ADDR m_address; (Thanks to Tom Tromey for this observation.) So, based on this, the current use of data_section_offset / SECT_OFF_DATA is wrong. This relocation code should have been using text_section_offset / SECT_OFF_TEXT all along. That being the case, I've adjusted the stap-probe.c relocation code accordingly. Searching the sources turned up one other use of data_section_offset, in gdb/dtrace-probe.c, so I've updated that code as well. The same reasoning presented above applies to this case too.
