From cd4007e43421a2f974f51574b6e2b52b9b1a7a50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:05:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrace: allow recording to be started (and stopped) for running threads When recording is started for a running thread, GDB was able to start tracing but then failed to read registers to insert the initial entry for the current PC. We don't really need that initial entry if we don't know where exactly we started recording. Skip that step to allow recording to be started while threads are running. If we do run into errors, we need to undo the tracing enable to not leak this thread. The operation did not complete so our caller won't clean up this thread. For the BTRACE_FORMAT_PT btrace format, we don't need that initial entry since it will be recorded in the trace. We can omit the call to btrace_add_pc. gdb/ * btrace.c (btrace_enable): Do not call btrace_add_pc for BTRACE_FORMAT_PT or if can_access_registers_ptid returns false. (btrace_fetch): Assert can_access_registers_ptid. * record-btrace.c (require_btrace_thread, record_btrace_info): Call validate_registers_access. testsuite/ * gdb.btrace/enable-running.c: New. * gdb.btrace/enable-running.exp: New. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 8 ++ gdb/btrace.c | 34 +++++++- gdb/record-btrace.c | 4 + gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog | 5 ++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/enable-running.c | 48 +++++++++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/enable-running.exp | 95 +++++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 190 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/enable-running.c create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.btrace/enable-running.exp diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index 5ce89125cb4..b2f7d73005a 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +2017-02-01 Markus Metzger + + * btrace.c (btrace_enable): Do not call btrace_add_pc for + BTRACE_FORMAT_PT or if can_access_registers_ptid returns false. + (btrace_fetch): Assert can_access_registers_ptid. + * record-btrace.c (require_btrace_thread, record_btrace_info): Call + validate_registers_access. + 2017-02-01 Markus Metzger * gdbthread.h (can_access_registers_ptid): New. diff --git a/gdb/btrace.c b/gdb/btrace.c index d266af7d3ab..6d621e4ecf4 100644 --- a/gdb/btrace.c +++ b/gdb/btrace.c @@ -1472,10 +1472,33 @@ btrace_enable (struct thread_info *tp, const struct btrace_config *conf) tp->btrace.target = target_enable_btrace (tp->ptid, conf); - /* Add an entry for the current PC so we start tracing from where we - enabled it. */ - if (tp->btrace.target != NULL) - btrace_add_pc (tp); + /* We're done if we failed to enable tracing. */ + if (tp->btrace.target == NULL) + return; + + /* We need to undo the enable in case of errors. */ + TRY + { + /* Add an entry for the current PC so we start tracing from where we + enabled it. + + If we can't access TP's registers, TP is most likely running.
