File I/O file handles after target closes
A future patch will propose making the remote target's target_ops be heap-allocated (to make it possible to have multiple instances of remote targets, for multiple simultaneous connections), and will delete/destroy the remote target at target_close time. That change trips on a latent problem, though. File I/O handles remain open even after the target is gone, with a dangling pointer to a target that no longer exists. This results in GDB crashing when it calls the target_ops backend associated with the file handle: (gdb) Disconnect Ending remote debugging. * GDB crashes deferencing a dangling pointer Backtrace: #0 0x00007f79338570a0 in main_arena () at /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0000000000858bfe in target_fileio_close(int, int*) (fd=1, target_errno=0x7ffe0499a4c8) at src/gdb/target.c:2980 #2 0x00000000007088bd in gdb_bfd_iovec_fileio_close(bfd*, void*) (abfd=0x1a631b0, stream=0x223c9d0) at src/gdb/gdb_bfd.c:353 #3 0x0000000000930906 in opncls_bclose (abfd=0x1a631b0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:528 #4 0x0000000000930cf9 in bfd_close_all_done (abfd=0x1a631b0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:768 #5 0x0000000000930cb3 in bfd_close (abfd=0x1a631b0) at src/bfd/opncls.c:735 #6 0x0000000000708dc5 in gdb_bfd_close_or_warn(bfd*) (abfd=0x1a631b0) at src/gdb/gdb_bfd.c:511 #7 0x00000000007091a2 in gdb_bfd_unref(bfd*) (abfd=0x1a631b0) at src/gdb/gdb_bfd.c:615 #8 0x000000000079ed8e in objfile::~objfile() (this=0x2154730, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at src/gdb/objfiles.c:682 #9 0x000000000079fd1a in objfile_purge_solibs() () at src/gdb/objfiles.c:1065 #10 0x00000000008162ca in no_shared_libraries(char const*, int) (ignored=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/solib.c:1251 #11 0x000000000073b89b in disconnect_command(char const*, int) (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/infcmd.c:3035 This goes unnoticed in current master, because the current remote target's target_ops is never destroyed nowadays, so we end up calling: remote_hostio_close -> remote_hostio_send_command which gracefully fails with FILEIO_ENOSYS if remote_desc is NULL (because the target is closed). Fix this by invalidating a target's file I/O handles when the target is closed. With this change, remote_hostio_send_command no longer needs to handle the case of being called with a closed remote target, originally added here: <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-08/msg00359.html>. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-04-11 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> * target.c (fileio_fh_t::t): Add comment. (target_fileio_pwrite, target_fileio_pread, target_fileio_fstat) (target_fileio_close): Handle a NULL target. (invalidate_fileio_fh): New. (target_close): Call it. * remote.c (remote_hostio_send_command): No longer check whether remote_desc is open.
