From d8c06f22a38c849ae1d4488e6e4a7b0c780869b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Burgess Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2019 15:24:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gdb: Don't ignore all SIGSTOP when the signal handler is set to pass It was observed that in a multi-threaded application on GNU/Linux, that if the user has set the SIGSTOP to be pass (using GDB's handle command) then the inferior would hang upon hitting a breakpoint. What happens is that when a thread hits the breakpoint GDB tries to stop all of the other threads by sending them a SIGSTOP and setting the stop_requested flag in the target_ops structure - this can be seen in infrun.c:stop_all_threads. GDB then waits for all of the other threads to stop. When the SIGSTOP event arrives we eventually end up in linux-nat.c:linux_nat_filter_event, which has the job of deciding if the event we're looking at (the SIGSTOP arriving in this case) is something that should be reported back to the core of GDB. One of the final actions of this function is to check if we stopped due to a signal, and if we did, and the signal has been set to 'pass' by the user then we ignore the event and resume the thread. This code already has some conditions in place that mean the event is reported to GDB even if the signal is in the set of signals to be passed to the inferior. In this commit I extend this condition such that: If the signal is a SIGSTOP, and the thread's stop_requested flag is set (indicating we're waiting for the thread to stop with a SIGSTOP) then we should report this SIGSTOP to GDB and not pass it to the inferior. With this change in place the test now passes. Regression tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux with no regressions. gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_filter_event): Don't ignore SIGSTOP if we have just sent the thread a SIGSTOP and are waiting for it to arrive. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.threads/stop-with-handle.c: New file. * gdb.threads/stop-with-handle.exp: New file. --- gdb/ChangeLog | 6 ++ gdb/linux-nat.c | 5 +- gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog | 5 ++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stop-with-handle.c | 74 +++++++++++++++++++ .../gdb.threads/stop-with-handle.exp | 51 +++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stop-with-handle.c create mode 100644 gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/stop-with-handle.exp diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog index bcf1de9e7ae..534e9ffb7c8 100644 --- a/gdb/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ +2019-10-03 Andrew Burgess + + * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_filter_event): Don't ignore SIGSTOP if we + have just sent the thread a SIGSTOP and are waiting for it to + arrive. + 2019-10-03 Andrew Burgess * btrace.c (btrace_add_pc): Remove whitespace before the template diff --git a/gdb/linux-nat.c b/gdb/linux-nat.c index cd5cf1830d3..0a8ea5b8de8 100644 --- a/gdb/linux-nat.c +++ b/gdb/linux-nat.c @@ -3146,9 +3146,12 @@ linux_nat_filter_event (int lwpid, int status) /* When using hardware single-step, we need to report every signal.
