decide how integers should be printed #14

Should integers be printed plain, like "23", or with a type suffix, like "23u64"?

I couldn't think of a great reason to do this, and users always have ptype.

When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them. Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program is multi threaded and linked with pthreads. Thus when GDB soon after attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found lower-level LWPs. If, however, GDB fails to find/load a matching libthread_db, nothing is adding the LWPs to the thread list. And because of that, "detach" hits an internal error: (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: attach info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 LWP 6891 "clone-attach-de" 0x00007f87e5fd0790 in __nanosleep_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: info threads shows two LWPs detach .../src/gdb/thread.c:1010: internal-error: is_executing: Assertion `tp' failed.

When the gdbpy_ref objects get destroyed, they call Py_DECREF to decrement the reference counter of the python object they hold a reference to. Any time we call into the Python API, we should be holding the GIL. The gdbpy_enter object does that for us in an RAII-fashion. However, if gdbpy_enter is declared after a gdbpy_ref object in a function, gdbpy_enter's destructor will be called (and the GIL will be released) before gdbpy_ref's destructor is called. Therefore, we will end up calling Py_DECREF without holding the GIL. This became obvious with Python 3.6, where memory management functions have asserts to make sure that the GIL is held. This was exposed by tests py-as-string.exp, py-function.exp and py-xmethods. For example: (gdb) p $_as_string(enum_valid) Fatal Python error: Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL Current thread 0x00007f7f7b21c780 (most recent call first): [1] 18678 abort (core dumped) ./gdb -nx testsuite/outputs/gdb.python/py-as-string/py-as-string #0 0x00007ffff618bc37 in raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff618f028 in abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007ffff6b104d6 in Py_FatalError (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff6ba15b8 "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL") at Python/pylifecycle.c:1457 #3 0x00007ffff6a37a68 in _PyMem_DebugCheckGIL () at Objects/obmalloc.c:1972 #4 0x00007ffff6a3804e in _PyMem_DebugFree (ctx=0x7ffff6e65290 <_PyMem_Debug+48>, ptr=0x24f8830) at Objects/obmalloc.c:1994 #5 0x00007ffff6a38e1d in PyMem_Free (ptr=<optimized out>) at Objects/obmalloc.c:442 #6 0x00007ffff6b866c6 in _PyFaulthandler_Fini () at ./Modules/faulthandler.c:1369 #7 0x00007ffff6b104bd in Py_FatalError (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff6ba15b8 "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL") at Python/pylifecycle.c:1431 #8 0x00007ffff6a37a68 in _PyMem_DebugCheckGIL () at Objects/obmalloc.c:1972 #9 0x00007ffff6a3804e in _PyMem_DebugFree (ctx=0x7ffff6e652c0 <_PyMem_Debug+96>, ptr=0x7ffff46b6040) at Objects/obmalloc.c:1994 #10 0x00007ffff6a38f55 in PyObject_Free (ptr=<optimized out>) at Objects/obmalloc.c:503 #11 0x00007ffff6a5f27e in unicode_dealloc (unicode=unicode@entry=0x7ffff46b6040) at Objects/unicodeobject.c:1794 #12 0x00007ffff6a352a9 in _Py_Dealloc (op=0x7ffff46b6040) at Objects/object.c:1786 #13 0x000000000063f28b in gdb_Py_DECREF (op=0x7ffff46b6040) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/python-internal.h:192 #14 0x000000000063fa33 in gdbpy_ref_policy::decref (ptr=0x7ffff46b6040) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-ref.h:35 #15 0x000000000063fa77 in gdb::ref_ptr<_object, gdbpy_ref_policy>::~ref_ptr (this=0x7fffffffcdf0, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/common/gdb_ref_ptr.h:91 #16 0x000000000064d8b8 in fnpy_call (gdbarch=0x2b50010, language=0x115d2c0 <c_language_defn>, cookie=0x7ffff46b7468, argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffcf48) at /home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/python/py-function.c:145 The fix is to place the gdbpy_enter first in the function.

In this callback, darwin checks for new threads in the program (there should be exactly one) in order to update this dummy thread with the right tid. Previously, things happened in this order: - fork_inferior calls fork() - fork_inferior adds dummy thread - fork_inferior calls init_trace_fun callback, which updates the dummy thread info Following the commit mentioned above, the new thread is added in the darwin-nat code, after having called fork_inferior (in darwin_create_inferior). So gdb tries to do things in this order: - fork_inferior calls fork() - fork_inferior calls init_trace_fun callback, which tries to update the dummy thread info - darwin_create_inferior adds the dummy thread The error happens while trying to update the dummy thread that has not been added yet. I don't think this dummy thread is necessary for darwin. Previously, it was fork_inferior that was adding this thread, for all targets, so darwin had to deal with it. Now that it's done by targets themselves, we can just skip that on darwin. darwin_check_new_threads called indirectly by init_trace_fun/darwin_ptrace_him will simply notice the new thread and add it with the right information. My level of testing was: try to start a process and try to attach to a process, and it seems to work somewhat like it did before. I tried to run the testsuite, but it leaves a huge amount of zombie processes that launchd doesn't seem to reap, leading to exhaustion of system resources (number of processes). gdb/ChangeLog: * darwin-nat.c (darwin_check_new_threads): Don't handle dummy thread. (darwin_init_thread_list): Don't update dummy thread. (darwin_create_inferior, darwin_attach): Don't add a dummy thread.

If you have a breakpoint command that re-resumes the target, like: break foo commands > c > end and then let the inferior run, hitting the breakpoint, and then press Ctrl-C at just the right time, between GDB processing the stop at "foo", and re-resuming the target, you'll hit the QUIT call in infrun.c:resume.

Something like this: thread_function1 (arg=0x1) at threads.c:107 107 usleep (SLEEP); /* Loop increment. */ Quit (gdb) c Continuing. ** nothing happens, time passes..., press ctrl-c again ** ^CQuit (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame 1 Thread 1462.1462 "threads" (running) * 2 Thread 1462.1466 "threads" (running) 3 Thread 1462.1465 "function0" (running) (gdb) c Cannot execute this command while the selected thread is running. (gdb) The first "Quit" above is thrown from within "resume", and cancels run control while GDB is in the middle of stepping over a breakpoint. with step_over_info_valid_p() true. The next "c" didn't actually resume anything, because GDB throught that the step-over was still in progress. It wasn't, because the thread that was supposed to be stepping over the breakpoint wasn't actually resumed. So at this point, we press Ctrl-C again, and this time, the default quit handler is called directly from the event loop (event-top.c:default_quit_handler -> quit()), because gdb was left owning the terminal (because the previous resume was cancelled before we reach target_resume -> target_terminal::inferior()). Note that the exception called from within resume ends up calling normal_stop via resume_cleanups. That's very borked though, because normal_stop is going to re-handle whatever was the last reported event, possibly even re-running a hook stop... I think that the only sane way to safely cancel the run control state machinery is to push an event via handle_inferior_event like all other events. The fix here does two things, and either alone would fix the problem at hand: #1 - passes the terminal to the inferior earlier, so that any QUIT call from the point we declare the target as running goes to the inferior directly, protecting run control from unsafe QUIT calls. #2 - gets rid of this QUIT call in resume and of its related unsafe resume_cleanups. Aboout #2, the comment describing resume says: /* Resume the inferior, but allow a QUIT. This is useful if the user wants to interrupt some lengthy single-stepping operation (for child processes, the SIGINT goes to the inferior, and so we get a SIGINT random_signal, but for remote debugging and perhaps other targets, that's not true). but that's a really old comment that predates a lot of fixes to Ctrl-C handling throughout both GDB core and the remote target, that made sure that a Ctrl-C isn't ever lost. In any case, if some target depended on this, a much better fix would be to make the target return a SIGINT stop out of target_wait the next time that is called. This was exposed by the new gdb.base/bp-cmds-continue-ctrl-c.exp testcase added later in the series. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-11-16 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> * infrun.c (resume_cleanups): Delete. (resume): No longer install a resume_cleanups cleanup nor call QUIT. (proceed): Pass the terminal to the inferior. (keep_going_pass_signal): No longer install a resume_cleanups cleanup.

../../src/gdb/event-top.c:774 The problem is that in `process_die` (frames 14 and 16) we create a `process_die_scope` object, that takes a copy of the `struct dwarf2_cu *` passed into the frame. The destructor of the `process_die_scope` dereferences the stored pointer. This wouldn't be an issue, except... ... in dw2_do_instantiate_symtab (frame 19) a clean up was registered that clears the dwarf2_queue in case of an error. Part of this clean up involves deleting the `struct dwarf2_cu`s referenced from the queue.. The problem then, is that cleanups are processed at the site of the throw, while, class destructors are invoked as we unwind their frame. The result is that we process the frame 19 cleanup (and delete the struct dwarf2_cu) before we process the destructors in frames 14 and 16. When we do get back to frames 14 and 16 the objects being references have already been deleted. The solution is to remove the cleanup from dw2_do_instantiate_symtab, and instead use a destructor to release the dwarf2_queue instead. With this patch in place, the valgrind errors are now resolved. gdb/ChangeLog: * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_release_queue): Delete function, move body into... (class dwarf2_queue_guard): ...the destructor of this new class. (dw2_do_instantiate_symtab): Create instance of the new class dwarf2_queue_guard, remove cleanup.

The problem is that when we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is being marked as running. create_continue_event_object assumes that it is the current thread, which is not true in this case. Fix this by passing down the right thread in create_continue_event_object. Also remove create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-08-24 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> Simon Marchi <[email protected]> PR gdb/23379 * python/py-continueevent.c: Include "gdbthread.h".

A following commit to make each inferior have its own thread list exposes a problem with bf93d7b ("Add thread after updating gdbarch when exec'ing"), which is that we can't defer adding the thread because that breaks try_open_exec_file which deep inside ends up calling inferior_thread(): #5 0x0000000000637c78 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...)

The problem originally fixed by bf93d7b was: (...) we should avoid doing register reads after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong architecture. (...) The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to update stop_pc). (...) The register-reading issue is no longer a problem nowadays, ever since switch_to_thread stopped reading the stop_pc in git commit f2ffa92 ("gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global"). So this commit basically reverts bf93d7b. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-11-22 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> * infrun.c (follow_exec) <set follow-exec new>: Add thread and switch to it before calling into try_open_exec_file.

The problem is that when we get to frame #3/#4, we lost all references to the thread that is being marked as running. create_continue_event_object assumes that it is the current thread, which is not true in this case. Fix this by passing down the right thread in create_continue_event_object. Also remove create_thread_event_object's default argument and have the only other caller left pass down the right thread explicitly too. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-08-24 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> Simon Marchi <[email protected]> PR gdb/23379 * python/py-continueevent.c: Include "gdbthread.h".

Errors that happen in nested sourced files (when a sourced file sources another file) lead to a wrong error message, or use-after-free. For example, if I put this in "a.gdb": command_that_doesnt_exist and this in "b.gdb": source a.gdb and try to "source b.gdb" in GDB, the result may look like this: (gdb) source b.gdb b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file: _that_doesnt_exist:1: Error in sourced command file: Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist". Try "help". Notice the wrong file name where "a.gdb" should be. The exact result may differ, depending on the feelings of the memory allocator. What happens is: - The "source a.gdb" command is saved by command_line_append_input_line in command_line_input's static buffer. - Since we are sourcing a file, the script_from_file function stores the script name (a.gdb) in the source_file_name global. However, it doesn't do a copy, it just saves a pointer to command_line_input's static buffer. - The "command_that_doesnt_exist" command is saved by command_line_append_input_line in command_line_input's static buffer. Depending on what xrealloc does, source_file_name may now point to freed memory, or at the minimum the data it was pointing to was overwritten. - When the error is handled in script_from_file, we dererence source_file_name to print the name of the file in which the error occured. To fix it, I made source_file_name an std::string, so that keeps a copy of the file name instead of pointing to a buffer with a too small lifetime. With this patch, the expected filename is printed, and no use-after-free occurs: (gdb) source b.gdb b.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file: a.gdb:1: Error in sourced command file: Undefined command: "command_that_doesnt_exist". Try "help". I passed explicit template parameters to make_scoped_restore (<std::string, const std::string &>), so that the second parameter is passed by reference and avoid a copy. It was not as obvious as I first thought to change gdb.base/source.exp to test this, because source commands inside sourced files are interpreted relative to GDB's current working directory, not the directory of the currently sourced file. As a workaround, I moved the snippet that tests errors after the snippet that adds the source directory to the search path. This way, the "source source-error-1.gdb" line in source-error.exp manages to find the file. For reference, here is what ASAN reports when use-after-free occurs: (gdb) source b.gdb ================================================================= ==18498==ERROR: AddressSanitizer:

Add new code to source source-error-1.gdb. * gdb.base/source-error-1.gdb: New file, from previous source-error.gdb.

Commit ab42892 ("Fix vertical scrolling of TUI source window") introduced a use-after-free in source_cache::get_source_lines. At the beginning of the method, we get the fullname of the symtab: const char *fullname = symtab_to_fullname (s); fullname points to the string owned by the symtab (s.fullname). When we later do scoped_fd desc = open_source_file (s); s.fullname gets reallocated (even though the string contents may not change). The fullname local variable now points to freed memory. To avoid it, refresh the value of fullname after calling open_source_file. Here is the ASan report: $ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory ./a.out (gdb) start Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1130: file test.cpp, line 12.

* source-cache.c (source_cache::get_source_lines): Re-read fullname after calling open_source_file.

…trace The test gdb.threads/watchthreads-reorder.exp verifies that the 'set debug infrun 1' debug output does not crash GDB. Under high load, the test can still cause a GDB internal error (see details below). This patch fixes this crash, and improves/factorises some wait kind traces. Tested on debian/amd64 + run one test with 'set debug infrun 1'. Changes compared to the first version: * Handles the suggestions of Kevin to trace the relevant elements of the wait status (this is done by calling target_waitstatus_to_string). * Some other changes to factorise wait status tracing. Note that using target_waitstatus_to_string instead of the 'locally printed' status kind strings means that debug trace that was using strings such as: "EXITED" or "TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED" will now use what is printed by target_waitstatus_to_string e.g. "exited". gdb/ChangeLog 2019-04-01 Philippe Waroquiers <[email protected]> * infrun.c (stop_all_threads): If debug_infrun, always trace the wait status after wait_one, using target_waitstatus_to_string and target_pid_to_str.

Commit ab42892 ("Fix vertical scrolling of TUI source window") introduced a use-after-free in source_cache::get_source_lines. At the beginning of the method, we get the fullname of the symtab: const char *fullname = symtab_to_fullname (s); fullname points to the string owned by the symtab (s.fullname). When we later do scoped_fd desc = open_source_file (s); s.fullname gets reallocated (even though the string contents may not change). The fullname local variable now points to freed memory. To avoid it, refresh the value of fullname after calling open_source_file. Here is the ASan report: $ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory ./a.out (gdb) start Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1130: file test.cpp, line 12.

This error happens as follows. The function find_partial_die has a cu argument, but returns a pdi which may or may not be from that cu: ... /* Find a partial DIE at OFFSET, which may or may not be in CU, except in the case of .debug_types DIEs which do not reference outside their CU (they do however referencing other types via DW_FORM_ref_sig8). */ static struct partial_die_info * find_partial_die (sect_offset sect_off, int offset_in_dwz, struct dwarf2_cu *cu) ... So the pdi returned by find_partial_die here in partial_die_parent_scope may be from another cu: ... partial_die_parent_scope (struct partial_die_info *pdi, struct dwarf2_cu *cu) { const char *grandparent_scope; struct partial_die_info *parent, *real_pdi; /* We need to look at our parent DIE; if we have a DW_AT_specification, then this means the parent of the specification DIE. */ real_pdi = pdi; while (real_pdi->has_specification) real_pdi = find_partial_die (real_pdi->spec_offset, real_pdi->spec_is_dwz, cu); parent = real_pdi->die_parent; ... in which case both real_pdi and parent will be not from cu, but from another one, say cu2. Subsequently, cu's comp_unit_obstack is used to set parent->scope: ... parent->scope = typename_concat (&cu->comp_unit_obstack, grandparent_scope, parent->name, 0, cu); ... So, we use cu->comp_unit_obstack to assign a value to the scope field of a pdi belonging to cu2, and when cu is deleted, the scope field points to a freed value. Fix this by making find_partial_die return the cu corresponding to the returned pdi, and handling this at the call sites.

And given that the constant pool is empty, name now points past the memory allocated for the index, and when we access name[0] for the first time in cp_find_first_component_aux, we run into the heap-buffer-overflow.

Ref.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1765117 A segfault can happen in a specific scenario when using TUI + a corefile, as explained in the bug mentioned above. The problem happens when opening a corefile on GDB: $ gdb ./core program entering TUI (C-x a), and then issuing a "run" command.

The problem happens because 'tui_locator_window::make_status_line' needs the value of 'target_shortname' in order to update the status line. 'target_shortname' is a macro which expands to: #define target_shortname (current_top_target ()->shortname ()) and, in our scenario, 'current_top_target ()' returns NULL, which obviously causes a segfault. But why does it return NULL, since, according to its comment on target.h, it should never do that? What is happening is that we're being caught in the middle of a "target switch". We had the 'core_target' on top, because we were inspecting a corefile, but when the user decided to invoke "run" GDB had to actually create the inferior, which ends up detecting that we have a target already, and tries to close it (from target.c): /* See target.h. */ void target_stack::push (target_ops *t) { /* If there's already a target at this stratum, remove it. */ strata stratum = t->stratum (); if (m_stack[stratum] != NULL) { target_ops *prev = m_stack[stratum]; m_stack[stratum] = NULL; target_close (prev); // <-- here } ... When the current target ('core_target') is being closed, it checks for possible observers registered with it and calls them. TUI is one of those observers, it gets called, tries to update the status line, and GDB crashes. The real problem is that we are clearing 'm_stack[stratum]', but forgetting to adjust 'm_top'. Interestingly, this scenario is covered in 'target_stack::unpush', but Pedro said he forgot to call it here.. The fix, therefore, is to call '::unpush' if there's a target on the stack. This patch has been tested on the Buildbot and no regressions have been found.

However, the thread list of the mock inferior set up in cooked_read_test is never initialized. So find_thread_ptid doesn't find the thread, which is an unexpected situation for inferior_thread. This is failing since this commit: 0803633 Per-inferior thread list, thread ranges/iterators, down with ALL_THREADS, etc. Fix it by putting the mock thread in the thread list of the mock inferior in cooked_read_test. gdb/ChangeLog: * regcache.c (cooked_read_test): Initialize thread list of mock_inferior.

We allocate a derived object (tui_layout_split), but delete it through a tui_layout_base pointer. Since the tui_layout_base destructor is not virtual, the derived (tui_layout_split) destructor is not called, only the base destructor. That code is not in gdb-9-branch, so I don't think this patch is relevant for the stable branch.

There has been some breakage for aarch64-linux, arm-linux and s390-linux in terms of inline frame unwinding. There may be other targets, but these are the ones i'm aware of. The following testcases started to show numerous failures and trigger internal errors in GDB after commit 1009d92, "Find tailcall frames before inline frames". gdb.opt/inline-break.exp gdb.opt/inline-cmds.exp gdb.python/py-frame-inline.exp gdb.reverse/insn-reverse.exp The internal errors were of this kind: binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:579: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `fi->level == 0' failed. After a lengthy investigation to try and find the cause of these assertions, it seems we're dealing with some fragile/poorly documented code to handle inline frames and we are attempting to unwind from this fragile section of code. Before commit 1009d92, the tailcall sniffer was invoked from dwarf2_frame_prev_register. By the time we invoke the dwarf2_frame_prev_register function, we've probably already calculated the frame id (via compute_frame_id). After said commit, the call to dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first was moved to dwarf2_frame_cache. This is very early in a frame creation process, and we're still calculating the frame ID (so compute_frame_id is in the call stack). This would be fine for regular frames, but the above testcases all deal with some inline frames. The particularity of inline frames is that their frame ID's depend on the previous frame's ID, and the previous frame's ID relies in the inline frame's registers. So it is a bit of a messy situation. We have comments in various parts of the code warning about some of these particularities. In the case of dwarf2_tailcall_sniffer_first, we attempt to unwind the PC, which goes through various functions until we eventually invoke frame_unwind_got_register. This function will eventually attempt to create a lazy value for a particular register, and this lazy value will require a valid frame ID. Since the inline frame doesn't have a valid frame ID yet (remember we're still calculating the previous frame's ID so we can tell what the inline frame ID is) we will call compute_frame_id for the inline frame (level 0). We'll eventually hit the assertion above, inside get_frame_id: -- /* If we haven't computed the frame id yet, then it must be that this is the current frame. Compute it now, and stash the result. The IDs of other frames are computed as soon as they're created, in order to detect cycles.

…gs_struct I recently stumbled on this code mentioning Linux kernel 2.6.25, and thought it could be time for some spring cleaning (newer GDBs probably don't need to supports 12-year old kernels). I then found that the "legacy" case is probably broken anyway, which gives an even better motivation for its removal. In short, this patch removes the configure checks that check if user_regs_struct contains the fs_base/gs_base fields and adjusts all uses of the HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_{FS,GS}_BASE macros. The longer explanation/rationale follows. Apparently, Linux kernels since 2.6.25 (that's from 2008) have been reliably providing fs_base and gs_base as part of user_regs_struct. Commit df5d438e33d7 in the Linux kernel [1] seems related. This means that we can get these values by reading registers with PTRACE_GETREGS. Previously, these values were obtained using a separate PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL ptrace call. First, I'm not even sure the configure check was really right in the first place. The user_regs_struct used by GDB comes from /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/user.h (or equivalent on other distros) and is provided by glibc. glibc has had the fs_base/gs_base fields in there for a very long time, at least since this commit from 2001 [2]. The Linux kernel also has its version of user_regs_struct, which I think was exported to user-space at some point. It included the fs_base/gs_base fields since at least this 2002 commit [3]. In any case, my conclusion is that the fields were there long before the aforementioned Linux kernel commit. The kernel commit didn't add these fields, it only made sure that they have reliable values when obtained with PTRACE_GETREGS. So, checking for the presence of the fs_base/gs_base fields in struct user_regs_struct doesn't sound like a good way of knowing if we can reliably get the fs_base/gs_base values from PTRACE_GETREGS. My guess is that if we were using that strategy on a < 2.6.25 kernel, things would not work correctly: - configure would find that the user_regs_struct has the fs_base/gs_base fields (which are probided by glibc anyway) - we would be reading the fs_base/gs_base values using PTRACE_GETREGS, for which the kernel would provide unreliable values Second, I have tried to see how things worked by forcing GDB to not use fs_base/gs_base from PTRACE_GETREGS (forcing it to use the "legacy" code, by configuring with ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_gs_base=no ac_cv_member_struct_user_regs_struct_fs_base=no Doing so breaks writing registers back to the inferior. For example, calling an inferior functions gives an internal error: (gdb) p malloc(10) /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/i387-tdep.c:1408: internal-error: invalid i387 regnum 152 The relevant last frames where this error happens are: #8 0x0000563123d262fc in internal_error (file=0x563123e93fd8 "/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/i387-tdep.c", line=1408, fmt=0x563123e94482 "invalid i387 regnum %d") at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:55 #9 0x0000563123047d0d in i387_collect_xsave (regcache=0x5631269453f0, regnum=152, xsave=0x7ffd38402a20, gcore=0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/i387-tdep.c:1408 #10 0x0000563122c69e8a in amd64_collect_xsave (regcache=0x5631269453f0, regnum=152, xsave=0x7ffd38402a20, gcore=0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/amd64-tdep.c:3448 #11 0x0000563122c5e94c in amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers (this=0x56312515fd10 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>, regcache=0x5631269453f0, regnum=152) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/amd64-linux-nat.c:335 #12 0x00005631234c8c80 in target_store_registers (regcache=0x5631269453f0, regno=152) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:3485 #13 0x00005631232e8df7 in regcache::raw_write (this=0x5631269453f0, regnum=152, buf=0x56312759e468 "@\225\372\367\377\177") at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:765 #14 0x00005631232e8f0c in regcache::cooked_write (this=0x5631269453f0, regnum=152, buf=0x56312759e468 "@\225\372\367\377\177") at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:778 #15 0x00005631232e75ec in regcache::restore (this=0x5631269453f0, src=0x5631275eb130) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:283 #16 0x0000563123083fc4 in infcall_suspend_state::restore (this=0x5631273ed930, gdbarch=0x56312718cf20, tp=0x5631270bca90, regcache=0x5631269453f0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:9103 #17 0x0000563123081eed in restore_infcall_suspend_state (inf_state=0x5631273ed930) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:9151 The problem seems to be that amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers calls amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p to know whether gregset provides fs_base. When !HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE, amd64_native_gregset_supplies_p returns false. store_registers therefore assumes that it must be an "xstate" register. This is of course wrong, and that leads to the failed assertion when i387_collect_xsave doesn't recognize the register. amd64_linux_nat_target::store_registers could probably be fixed to handle this case, but I don't think it's worth it, given that it would only be to support very old kernels.

…, part 1 Running the testsuite against an Asan-enabled build of GDB makes gdb.base/multi-target.exp expose this bug. scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor calls get_frame_id to record the selected frame's ID to restore later. If the frame ID hasn't been computed yet, it will be computed on the spot, and that will usually require accessing the target's memory and registers, which requires remote accesses. If the remote connection closes while we're computing the frame ID, the remote target exits its inferiors, unpushes itself, and throws a TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error. If that happens, GDB can currently crash, here: > ==18555==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x621004670aa8 at pc 0x0000007ab125 bp 0x7ffdecaecd20 sp 0x7ffdecaecd10 > READ of size 4 at 0x621004670aa8 thread T0 > #0 0x7ab124 in dwarf2_frame_this_id src/binutils-gdb/gdb/dwarf2/frame.c:1228 > #1 0x983ec5 in compute_frame_id src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:550 > #2 0x9841ee in get_frame_id(frame_info*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:582 > #3 0x1093faa in scoped_restore_current_thread::scoped_restore_current_thread() src/binutils-gdb/gdb/thread.c:1462 > #4 0xaee5ba in fetch_inferior_event(void*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3968 > #5 0xaa990b in inferior_event_handler(inferior_event_type, void*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inf-loop.c:43 > #6 0xea61b6 in remote_async_serial_handler src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:14161 > #7 0xefca8a in run_async_handler_and_reschedule src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:137 > #8 0xefcd23 in fd_event src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:188 > #9 0x15a7416 in handle_file_event src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:548 > #10 0x15a7c36 in gdb_wait_for_event src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:673 > #11 0x15a5dbb in gdb_do_one_event() src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:215 > #12 0xbfe62d in start_event_loop src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:356 > #13 0xbfe935 in captured_command_loop src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:416 > #14 0xc01d39 in captured_main src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1253 > #15 0xc01dc9 in gdb_main(captured_main_args*) src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1268 > #16 0x414ddd in main src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 > #17 0x7f590110b82f in __libc_start_main ../csu/libc-start.c:291 > #18 0x414bd8 in _start (build/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb+0x414bd8) What happens is that above, we're in dwarf2_frame_this_id, just after the dwarf2_frame_cache call.

The problem is that the multi-target commit added a scoped_restore_current_thread to remove_target_sections (frame #7 above). scoped_restore_current_thread's ctor fetches the selected frame's frame id. If the frame had not had its frame id computed yet, it is computed then (frame #4 above). Because it has been determined earlier that the frame's unwinder is the DWARF unwinder, we end up here: static struct dwarf2_frame_cache * dwarf2_frame_cache (struct frame_info *this_frame, void **this_cache) { ... /* Find the correct FDE. */ fde = dwarf2_frame_find_fde (&pc1, &cache->per_objfile); gdb_assert (fde != NULL); And, that assertion fails. The assertion is reasonable, because the DWARF unwinder only claims the frame if it managed to find the FDE earlier (in dwarf2_frame_sniffer). (unix/-m32 is thus really a red herring here -- it's just that on x86_64 -m64, the frame is not claimed by the DWARF unwinder.) The reason the assertion is failing, is because the objfile that contains the FDE has been removed from the objfiles list already when we get here (frame #22 above). This suggests that the fix should be to invalidate DWARF frames when their objfile is removed. Or to keep it simple and safe, invalidate the frame cache when an objfile is removed. That is what this commit does. OOC, I checked why is it that when you unload a file with plain "(gdb) file", we don't hit the assertion. It must be because we're already flushing the frame cache somewhere else in that case. And indeed, we flush the frame cache here: (gdb) bt #0 reinit_frame_cache () at src/gdb/frame.c:1857 #1 0x0000555555ad1ad6 in registers_changed_ptid (target=0x0, ptid=...) at src/gdb/regcache.c:470 #2 0x0000555555ad1b58 in registers_changed () at src/gdb/regcache.c:485 #3 0x00005555558d095e in set_target_gdbarch (new_gdbarch=0x555556d5f5b0) at src/gdb/gdbarch.c:5528 #4 0x0000555555677175 in set_gdbarch_from_file (abfd=0x0) at src/gdb/arch-utils.c:601 #5 0x0000555555897c6b in exec_file_attach (filename=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/exec.c:409 #6 0x000055555589852d in exec_file_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/exec.c:571 #7 0x00005555558985a1 in file_command (arg=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/exec.c:583 #8 0x000055555572b55f in do_const_cfunc (c=0x55555672e200, args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:95 #9 0x000055555572f3d3 in cmd_func (cmd=0x55555672e200, args=0x0, from_tty=1) at src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:2181 #10 0x0000555555be1ecc in execute_command (p=0x555556327804 "", from_tty=1) at src/gdb/top.c:668 #11 0x0000555555895427 in command_handler (command=0x555556327800 "file") at src/gdb/event-top.c:588 #12 0x00005555558958af in command_line_handler (rl=...) at src/gdb/event-top.c:773 #13 0x0000555555894b3e in gdb_rl_callback_handler (rl=0x55555a09e240 "file") at src/gdb/event-top.c:219 #14 0x0000555555ccfeec in rl_callback_read_char () at src/readline/readline/callback.c:281 #15 0x000055555589495a in gdb_rl_callback_read_char_wrapper_noexcept () at src/gdb/event-top.c:177 #16 0x0000555555894a08 in gdb_rl_callback_read_char_wrapper (client_data=0x555556327520) at src/gdb/event-top.c:194 #17 0x00005555558952a5 in stdin_event_handler (error=0, client_data=0x555556327520) at src/gdb/event-top.c:516 #18 0x0000555555e027d6 in handle_file_event (file_ptr=0x555558d20840, ready_mask=1) at src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:548 #19 0x0000555555e02d88 in gdb_wait_for_event (block=1) at src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:673 #20 0x0000555555e01c42 in gdb_do_one_event () at src/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:215 #21 0x00005555559c47c2 in start_event_loop () at src/gdb/main.c:356 #22 0x00005555559c490d in captured_command_loop () at src/gdb/main.c:416 #23 0x00005555559c6217 in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffdc00) at src/gdb/main.c:1253 #24 0x00005555559c6289 in gdb_main (args=0x7fffffffdc00) at src/gdb/main.c:1268 #25 0x0000555555621756 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffdd18) at src/gdb/gdb.c:32 gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/26336 * progspace.c (program_space::remove_objfile): Invalidate the frame cache.

I'm dealing these days with a class of bugs that involve trying to get a certain frame's id while we are in the process of computing it. In other words, compute_frame_id being called for a frame, eventually calling get_frame_id for that same frame. I don't think this is ever supposed to happen, as that creates a cyclic dependency. Usually, these problems cause some failure down the line. I'm proposing with this patch to catch them as early as possible, as soon as the situation described above happens. I think that helps because the failed assertion will be closer to the root of the problem. To do so, the patch changes the frame_info::this_id::p flag from a boolean (is the frame id computed or not) to a tri-state: - the frame id is not computed - the frame id is being computed - the frame id is computed Then, we can properly assert that get_frame_id doesn't get called for a frame whose id is being computed. To illustrate how that can help, let's imagine we apply the following change to frame_unwind_got_optimized: --- a/gdb/frame-unwind.c +++ b/gdb/frame-unwind.c @@ -260,8 +260,7 @@ frame_unwind_got_optimized (struct frame_info *frame, int regnum) mark_value_bytes_optimized_out (val, 0, TYPE_LENGTH (type)); VALUE_LVAL (val) = lval_register; VALUE_REGNUM (val) = regnum; - VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) - = get_frame_id (get_next_frame_sentinel_okay (frame)); + VALUE_NEXT_FRAME_ID (val) = get_frame_id (frame); return val; } ... and run the following command, which leads to a failed assertion (you need to run the corresponding test to generate the binary first): $ ./gdb -q -nx testsuite/outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-undefined-ret-addr/dw2-undefined-ret-addr -ex "b stop_frame" -ex r Without this patch applied, we catch the issue indirectly, when the top-level get_frame_id tries to stash the frame: /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:593: internal-error: frame_id get_frame_id(frame_info*): Assertion `stashed' failed. ... #9 0x0000000001af1c3a in internal_error (file=0x1cea060 "/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c", line=593, fmt=0x1ce9f80 "%s: Assertion `%s' failed.") at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:55 #10 0x0000000000e9b413 in get_frame_id (fi=0x6210005105e0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:593 #11 0x0000000000e99e35 in scoped_restore_selected_frame::scoped_restore_selected_frame (this=0x7fff1d8b9760) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:308 #12 0x000000000149a261 in print_frame_args (fp_opts=..., func=0x6210000dd7d0, frame=0x6210005105e0, num=-1, stream=0x60300008a580) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:750 #13 0x000000000149d938 in print_frame (fp_opts=..., frame=0x6210005105e0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, print_args=1, sal=...) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1394 #14 0x000000000149c0c8 in print_frame_info (fp_opts=..., frame=0x6210005105e0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, print_args=1, set_current_sal=1) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1119 #15 0x0000000001498100 in print_stack_frame (frame=0x6210005105e0, print_level=0, print_what=SRC_AND_LOC, set_current_sal=1) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:366 #16 0x00000000010234b7 in print_stop_location (ws=0x7fff1d8ba1f0) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:8366 #17 0x000000000102362d in print_stop_event (uiout=0x607000018660, displays=true) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:8382 ...

it would be useful for GDB to work around this. I did the obvious simple thing, if the DW_AT_data_member_location's value is -1, replace it with 0. I added a producer check to only apply this fixup for GCC 11. The idea is that if some other compiler ever uses a DW_AT_data_member_location value of -1 by mistake, we don't know (before analyzing the bug at least) if they did mean 0 or some other value. So I wouldn't want to apply the fixup in that case. Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28063 Change-Id: Ieef3459b0b9bbce8bdad838ba83b4b64e7269d42

…ync." Commit 14b3360 ("do_target_wait_1: Clear TARGET_WNOHANG if the target isn't async.") broke some multi-target tests, such as gdb.multi/multi-target-info-inferiors.exp. The symptom is that execution just hangs at some point. What happens is: 1. One remote inferior is started, and now sits stopped at a breakpoint. It is not "async" at this point (but it "can async"). 2. We run a native inferior, the event loop gets woken up by the native target's fd. 3. In do_target_wait, we randomly choose an inferior to call target_wait on first, it happens to be the remote inferior. 4. Because the target is currently not "async", we clear TARGET_WNOHANG, resulting in synchronous wait. We therefore block here: #0 0x00007fe9540dbb4d in select () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x000055fc7e821da7 in gdb_select (n=15, readfds=0x7ffdb77c1fb0, writefds=0x0, exceptfds=0x7ffdb77c2050, timeout=0x7ffdb77c1f90) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/posix-hdep.c:31 #2 0x000055fc7ddef905 in interruptible_select (n=15, readfds=0x7ffdb77c1fb0, writefds=0x0, exceptfds=0x7ffdb77c2050, timeout=0x7ffdb77c1f90) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/event-top.c:1134 #3 0x000055fc7eda58e4 in ser_base_wait_for (scb=0x6250002e4100, timeout=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:240 #4 0x000055fc7eda66ba in do_ser_base_readchar (scb=0x6250002e4100, timeout=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:365 #5 0x000055fc7eda6ff6 in generic_readchar (scb=0x6250002e4100, timeout=-1, do_readchar=0x55fc7eda663c <do_ser_base_readchar(serial*, int)>) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:444 #6 0x000055fc7eda718a in ser_base_readchar (scb=0x6250002e4100, timeout=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:471 #7 0x000055fc7edb1ecd in serial_readchar (scb=0x6250002e4100, timeout=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/serial.c:393 #8 0x000055fc7ec48b8f in remote_target::readchar (this=0x617000038780, timeout=-1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9446 #9 0x000055fc7ec4da82 in remote_target::getpkt_or_notif_sane_1 (this=0x617000038780, buf=0x6170000387a8, forever=1, expecting_notif=1, is_notif=0x7ffdb77c24f0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9928 #10 0x000055fc7ec4f045 in remote_target::getpkt_or_notif_sane (this=0x617000038780, buf=0x6170000387a8, forever=1, is_notif=0x7ffdb77c24f0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:10037 #11 0x000055fc7ec354d4 in remote_target::wait_ns (this=0x617000038780, ptid=..., status=0x7ffdb77c33c8, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:8147 #12 0x000055fc7ec38aa1 in remote_target::wait (this=0x617000038780, ptid=..., status=0x7ffdb77c33c8, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:8337 #13 0x000055fc7f1409ce in target_wait (ptid=..., status=0x7ffdb77c33c8, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:2612 #14 0x000055fc7e19da98 in do_target_wait_1 (inf=0x617000038080, ptid=..., status=0x7ffdb77c33c8, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3636 #15 0x000055fc7e19e26b in operator() (__closure=0x7ffdb77c2f90, inf=0x617000038080) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3697 #16 0x000055fc7e19f0c4 in do_target_wait (ecs=0x7ffdb77c33a0, options=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:3716 #17 0x000055fc7e1a31f7 in fetch_inferior_event () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:4061 Before the aforementioned commit, we would not have cleared TARGET_WNOHANG, the remote target's wait would have returned nothing, and we would have consumed the native target's event.

Commit 152a174 ("gdb: prune inferiors at end of fetch_inferior_event, fix intermittent failure of gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp") broke some tests with the native-gdbserver board, such as: (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp: detach-on-fork=off: follow-fork=child: break cond on target : vfork: break marker continue^M Continuing.^M terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'^M I can manually reproduce the issue by running (just the commands that the test does as a one liner): $ ./gdb -q --data-directory=data-directory \ testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-syscall/step-over-vfork \ -ex "tar rem | ../gdbserver/gdbserver - testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/step-over-syscall/step-over-vfork" \ -ex "b main" \ -ex c \ -ex "d 1" \ -ex "set displaced-stepping off" \ -ex "b *0x7ffff7d7ac5a if main == 0" \ -ex "set detach-on-fork off" \ -ex "set follow-fork-mode child" \ -ex c \ -ex "inferior 1" \ -ex "b marker" \ -ex c ... where 0x7ffff7d7ac5a is the exact address of the vfork syscall (which can be found by looking at gdb.log). The important part of the above is that a vfork syscall creates inferior 2, then inferior 2 executes until exit, then we switch back to inferior 1 and try to resume it. The uncaught exception happens here: #4 0x00005596969d81a9 in error (fmt=0x559692da9e40 "Cannot execute this command while the target is running.\nUse the \"interrupt\" command to stop the target\nand then try again.") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/errors.cc:43 #5 0x0000559695af6f66 in remote_target::putpkt_binary (this=0x617000038080, buf=0x559692da4380 "qSymbol::", cnt=9) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9560 #6 0x0000559695af6aaf in remote_target::putpkt (this=0x617000038080, buf=0x559692da4380 "qSymbol::") at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:9518 #7 0x0000559695ab50dc in remote_target::remote_check_symbols (this=0x617000038080) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:5141 #8 0x0000559695b3cccf in remote_new_objfile (objfile=0x0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:14600 #9 0x0000559693bc52a9 in std::__invoke_impl<void, void (*&)(objfile*), objfile*> (__f=@0x61b0000167f8: 0x559695b3cb1d <remote_new_objfile(objfile*)>) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/invoke.h:61 #10 0x0000559693bb2848 in std::__invoke_r<void, void (*&)(objfile*), objfile*> (__fn=@0x61b0000167f8: 0x559695b3cb1d <remote_new_objfile(objfile*)>) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/invoke.h:111 #11 0x0000559693b8dddf in std::_Function_handler<void (objfile*), void (*)(objfile*)>::_M_invoke(std::_Any_data const&, objfile*&&) (__functor=..., __args#0=@0x7ffe0bae0590: 0x0) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/std_function.h:291 #12 0x00005596956374b2 in std::function<void (objfile*)>::operator()(objfile*) const (this=0x61b0000167f8, __args#0=0x0) at /usr/include/c++/11.2.0/bits/std_function.h:560 #13 0x0000559695633c64 in gdb::observers::observable<objfile*>::notify (this=0x55969ef5c480 <gdb::observers::new_objfile>, args#0=0x0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/observable.h:150 #14 0x0000559695df6cc2 in clear_symtab_users (add_flags=...) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symfile.c:2873 #15 0x000055969574c263 in program_space::~program_space (this=0x6120000c8a40, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/progspace.c:154 #16 0x0000559694fc086b in delete_inferior (inf=0x61700003bf80) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inferior.c:205 #17 0x0000559694fc341f in prune_inferiors () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inferior.c:390 #18 0x0000559695017ada in fetch_inferior_event () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:4293 #19 0x0000559694f629e6 in inferior_event_handler (event_type=INF_REG_EVENT) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/inf-loop.c:41 #20 0x0000559695b3b0e3 in remote_async_serial_handler (scb=0x6250001ef100, context=0x6170000380a8) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:14466 #21 0x0000559695c59eb7 in run_async_handler_and_reschedule (scb=0x6250001ef100) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:138 #22 0x0000559695c5a42a in fd_event (error=0, context=0x6250001ef100) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ser-base.c:189 #23 0x00005596969d9ebf in handle_file_event (file_ptr=0x60700005af40, ready_mask=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:574 #24 0x00005596969da7fa in gdb_wait_for_event (block=0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:700 #25 0x00005596969d8539 in gdb_do_one_event () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:212 If I enable "set debug infrun" just before the last continue, we see: (gdb) continue Continuing.

The core ignores it and resumes inferior 1. - Since prune_inferiors is now called after each handled event, in fetch_inferior_event, it is called after we handled that VFORK_DONE event and resumed inferior 1. - Inferior 2 is pruned, which (see backtrace above) causes its program space to be deleted, which clears the symtabs for that program space, which calls the new_objfile observable and remote_new_objfile observer (with a nullptr objfile, to indicate that the previously loaded symbols have been discarded), which calls remote_check_symbols. remote_check_symbols is the function that sends the qSymbol packet, to let the remote side ask for symbol addresses. The problem is that the remote target is working in all-stop / sync mode and is currently resumed. It has sent a vCont packet to resume the target and is waiting for a stop reply. It can't send any packets in the mean time. That causes the exception to be thrown. This wasn't a problem before, when prune_inferiors was called in normal_stop, because it was always called at a time the target was not resumed. An important observation here is that the new_objfile observable is invoked for a change in inferior 2's program space (inferior 2's program space is the current program space). Inferior 2 isn't bound to any process on the remote side (it has exited, that's why it's being pruned). It doesn't make sense to try to send a qSymbol packet for a process that doesn't exist on the remote side. remote_check_symbols actually attempts to avoid that: /* The remote side has no concept of inferiors that aren't running yet, it only knows about running processes. If we're connected but our current inferior is not running, we should not invite the remote target to request symbol lookups related to its (unrelated) current process. */ if (!target_has_execution ()) return; The problem here is that while inferior 2's program space is the current program space, inferior 1 is the current inferior. So the check above passes, since inferior has execution. We therefore try to send a qSymbol packet for inferior 1 in reaction to a change in inferior 2's program space, that's wrong. This exposes a conceptual flaw in remote_new_objfile. The "new_objfile" event concerns a specific program space, which can concern multiple inferiors, as inferiors can share a program space. We shouldn't consider the current inferior at all, but instead all inferiors bound to the affected program space. Especially since the current inferior can be unrelated to the current program space at that point. To be clear, we are in this state because ~program_space sets itself as the current program space, but there is no more inferior having that program space to switch to, inferior 2 has already been unlinked. To fix this, make remote_new_objfile iterate on all inferiors bound to the affected program space. Remove the target_has_execution check from remote_check_symbols, replace it with an assert. All callers must ensure that the current inferior has execution before calling it. Change-Id: Ica643145bcc03115248290fd310cadab8ec8371c

In #3, the current thread is nullptr because gdb_read_memory clears it on purpose, via set_desired_process, exactly to expose code relying on the current thread when it shouldn't. It was always possible to end up in this situation (when the current thread exits), but it was harder to reproduce before. This commit fixes it by tweaking is_64bit_tdesc to look at the current process's tdesc instead of the current thread's tdesc. Note that the thread's tdesc is itself filled from the process's tdesc, so this should be equivalent: struct regcache * get_thread_regcache (struct thread_info *thread, int fetch) { struct regcache *regcache; regcache = thread_regcache_data (thread); ... if (regcache == NULL) { struct process_info *proc = get_thread_process (thread); gdb_assert (proc->tdesc != NULL); regcache = new_register_cache (proc->tdesc); set_thread_regcache_data (thread, regcache); } ...

As we get in the DWARF_VALUE_STACK case (line 1028 of dwarf2/expr.c), the `len` variable is therefore set to 0, instead of the actual type length. We then call allocate_value on subobj_type, which does call check_typedef, so the length of the typedef gets filled in at that point. We end up passing to the copy function a source array view of length 0 and a target array view of length 4, and the assertion fails. Fix this by calling check_typedef on both type and subobj_type at the beginning of fetch_result. I tried writing a test for this using the DWARF assembler, but I haven't succeeded. It's possible that we need to get into this specific code path (value_of_dwarf_reg_entry and all) to manage to get to dwarf_expr_context::fetch_result with a typedef type that has never been resolved. In all my attempts, the typedef would always be resolved already, so the bug wouldn't show up. As a fallback, I made a gdb.dwarf2 test with compiler-generated .S files. I don't particularly like those, but I think it's better than no test. The .cpp source code is the smallest reproducer I am able to make from the reproducer given in the bug (thanks to Pedro for suggestions on how to minimize it further than I had). Since I tested on both amd64 and aarch64, I added versions of the test for these two architectures.

There's a flaw in the interaction of the auxv caching and the fact that target_auxv_search allows reading auxv from an arbitrary target_ops (passed in as a parameter). This has consequences as explained in this thread: https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/[email protected]/ In summary, when loading an AArch64 core file with MTE support by passing the executable and core file names directly to GDB, we see the MTE info: $ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q aarch64-mte-gcore aarch64-mte-gcore.core ... Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault Memory tag violation while accessing address 0x0000ffff8ef5e000 Allocation tag 0x1 Logical tag 0x0. #0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? () (gdb) But if we do it as two separate commands (file and core) we don't: $ ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -q -ex "file aarch64-mte-gcore" -ex "core aarch64-mte-gcore.core" ... Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0x0000aaaade3d0b4c in ?? () (gdb) The problem with the latter is that auxv data gets improperly cached between the two commands. When executing the file command, auxv gets first queried here, when loading the executable: #0 target_auxv_search (ops=0x55555b842400 <exec_ops>, match=0x9, valp=0x7fffffffc5d0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/auxv.c:383 #1 0x0000555557e576f2 in svr4_exec_displacement (displacementp=0x7fffffffc8c0) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/solib-svr4.c:2482 #2 0x0000555557e594d1 in svr4_relocate_main_executable () at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/solib-svr4.c:2878 #3 0x0000555557e5989e in svr4_solib_create_inferior_hook (from_tty=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/solib-svr4.c:2933 #4 0x0000555557e6e49f in solib_create_inferior_hook (from_tty=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/solib.c:1253 #5 0x0000555557f33e29 in symbol_file_command (args=0x7fffffffe01c "aarch64-mte-gcore", from_tty=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symfile.c:1655 #6 0x00005555573319c3 in file_command (arg=0x7fffffffe01c "aarch64-mte-gcore", from_tty=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/exec.c:555 #7 0x0000555556e47185 in do_simple_func (args=0x7fffffffe01c "aarch64-mte-gcore", from_tty=1, c=0x612000047740) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:95 #8 0x0000555556e551c9 in cmd_func (cmd=0x612000047740, args=0x7fffffffe01c "aarch64-mte-gcore", from_tty=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:2543 #9 0x00005555580e63fd in execute_command (p=0x7fffffffe02c "e", from_tty=1) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/top.c:692 #10 0x0000555557771913 in catch_command_errors (command=0x5555580e55ad <execute_command(char const*, int)>, arg=0x7fffffffe017 "file aarch64-mte-gcore", from_tty=1, do_bp_actions=true) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:513 #11 0x0000555557771fba in execute_cmdargs (cmdarg_vec=0x7fffffffd570, file_type=CMDARG_FILE, cmd_type=CMDARG_COMMAND, ret=0x7fffffffd230) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:608 #12 0x00005555577755ac in captured_main_1 (context=0x7fffffffda10) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1299 #13 0x0000555557775c2d in captured_main (data=0x7fffffffda10) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1320 #14 0x0000555557775cc2 in gdb_main (args=0x7fffffffda10) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/main.c:1345 #15 0x00005555568bdcbe in main (argc=10, argv=0x7fffffffdba8) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 Here, target_auxv_search is called on the inferior's target stack. The target stack only contains the exec target, so the query returns empty auxv data. This gets cached for that inferior in `auxv_inferior_data`. In its constructor (before it is pushed to the inferior's target stack), the core_target needs to identify the right target description from the core, and for that asks the gdbarch to read a target description from the core file. Because some implementations of gdbarch_core_read_description (such as AArch64's) need to read auxv data from the core in order to determine the right target description, the core_target passes a pointer to itself, allowing implementations to call target_auxv_search it. However, because we have previously cached (empty) auxv data for that inferior, target_auxv_search searched that cached (empty) auxv data, not auxv data read from the core. Remember that this data was obtained by reading auxv on the inferior's target stack, which only contained an exec target. The problem I see is that while target_auxv_search offers the flexibility of reading from an arbitrary (passed as an argument) target, the caching doesn't do the distinction of which target is being queried, and where the cached data came from. So, you could read auxv from a target A, it gets cached, then you try to read auxv from a target B, and it returns the cached data from target A. That sounds wrong. In our case, we expect to read different auxv data from the core target than what we have read from the target stack earlier, so it doesn't make sense to hit the cache in this case. To fix this, I propose splitting the code paths that read auxv data from an inferior's target stack and those that read from a passed-in target. The code path that reads from the target stack will keep caching, whereas the one that reads from a passed-in target won't. And since, searching in auxv data is independent from where this data came from, split the "read" part from the "search" part. From what I understand, auxv caching was introduced mostly to reduce latency on remote connections, when doing many queries. With the change I propose, only the queries done while constructing the core_target end up not using cached auxv data. This is fine, because there are just a handful of queries max, done at this point, and reading core files is local. The changes to auxv functions are: - Introduce 2 target_read_auxv functions. One reads from an explicit target_ops and doesn't do caching (to be used in gdbarch_core_read_description context). The other takes no argument, reads from the current inferior's target stack (it looks just like a standard target function wrapper) and does caching. The first target_read_auxv actually replaces get_auxv_inferior_data, since it became a trivial wrapper around it. - Change the existing target_auxv_search to not read auxv data from the target, but to accept it as a parameter (a gdb::byte_vector). This function doesn't care where the data came from, it just searches in it. It still needs to take a target_ops and gdbarch to know how to parse auxv entries. - Add a convenience target_auxv_search overload that reads auxv data from the inferior's target stack and searches in it. This overload is useful to replace the exist target_auxv_search calls that passed the `current_inferior ()->top_target ()` target and keep the call sites short. - Modify parse_auxv to accept a target_ops and gdbarch to use for parsing entries. Not strictly related to the rest of this change, but it seems like a good change in the context. Changes in architecture-specific files (tdep and nat): - In linux-tdep, linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 get split in two, similar to target_auxv_search. One version receives auxv data, target and arch as parameters. The other gets everything from the current inferior. The latter is for convenience, to avoid making call sites too ugly. - Call sites of linux_get_hwcap and linux_get_hwcap2 are adjusted to use either of the new versions. The call sites in gdbarch_core_read_description context explicitly read auxv data from the passed-in target and call the linux_get_hwcap{,2} function with parameters. Other call sites use the versions without parameters. - Same idea for arm_fbsd_read_description_auxv. - Call sites of target_auxv_search that passed `current_inferior ()->top_target ()` are changed to use the target_auxv_search overload that works in the current inferior.

The current process is the 2nd one, which was just attached. It does not yet have thread_db data (proc->priv->thread_db is nullptr). As we iterate on all threads of all process to fulfull the qxfer:threads:read request, we get to a thread of process 1 for which we haven't read thread_db information yet (lwp_info::thread_known is false), so we get into find_one_thread. find_one_thread uses `current_processÂ ()->priv->thread_db`, assuming the current process matches the ptid passed as a parameter, which is wrong. A segfault happens when trying to dereference that thread_db pointer. Fix this by making find_one_thread not assume what the current process / current thread is. If it needs to call into libthread_db, which we know will try to read memory from the current process, then temporarily set the current process. In the case where the thread is already know and we return early, we don't need to switch process. Add a test to reproduce this specific situation.

This commit changes the target_stack class from using a C style array of 'target_ops *' to using a C++ std::array<target_ops_ref, ...>. The benefit of this change is that some of the reference counting of target_ops objects is now done automatically. This commit fixes a crash in gdb.python/py-inferior.exp where GDB crashes at exit, leaving a core file behind. The crash occurs in connpy_connection_dealloc, and is actually triggered by this assert: gdb_assert (conn_obj->target == nullptr); Now a little aside... ... the assert is never actually printed, instead GDB crashes due to calling a pure virtual function. The backtrace at the point of crash looks like this: #7 0x00007fef7e2cf747 in std::terminate() () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #8 0x00007fef7e2d0515 in __cxa_pure_virtual () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #9 0x0000000000de334d in target_stack::find_beneath (this=0x4934d78, t=0x2bda270 <the_dummy_target>) at ../../s> #10 0x0000000000df4380 in inferior::find_target_beneath (this=0x4934b50, t=0x2bda270 <the_dummy_target>) at ../.> #11 0x0000000000de2381 in target_ops::beneath (this=0x2bda270 <the_dummy_target>) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:3047 #12 0x0000000000de68aa in target_ops::supports_terminal_ours (this=0x2bda270 <the_dummy_target>) at ../../src/gd> #13 0x0000000000dde6b9 in target_supports_terminal_ours () at ../../src/gdb/target.c:1112 #14 0x0000000000ee55f1 in internal_vproblem(internal_problem *, const char *, int, const char *, typedef __va_li> Notice in frame #12 we called target_ops::supports_terminal_ours, however, this is the_dummy_target, which is of type dummy_target, and so we should have called dummy_target::supports_terminal_ours. I believe the reason we ended up in the wrong implementation of supports_terminal_ours (which is a virtual function) is because we made the call during GDB's shut-down, and, I suspect, the vtables were in a weird state. Anyway, the point of this patch is not to fix GDB's ability to print an assert during exit, but to address the root cause of the assert. With that aside out of the way, we can return to the main story... Connections are represented in Python with gdb.TargetConnection objects (or its sub-classes). The assert in question confirms that when a gdb.TargetConnection is deallocated, the underlying GDB connection has itself been removed from GDB. If this is not true then we risk creating multiple different gdb.TargetConnection objects for the same connection, which would be bad. To ensure that we have one gdb.TargetConnection object for each connection, the all_connection_objects map exists, this maps the process_stratum_target object (the connection) to the gdb.TargetConnection object that represents the connection. When a connection is removed in GDB the connection_removed observer fires, which we catch with connpy_connection_removed, this function then sets conn_obj->target to nullptr, and removes the corresponding entry from the all_connection_objects map. The first issue here is that connpy_connection_dealloc is being called as part of GDB's exit code, which is run after the Python interpreter has been shut down. The connpy_connection_dealloc function is used to deallocate the gdb.TargetConnection Python object. Surely it is wrong for us to be deallocating Python objects after the interpreter has been shut down. The reason why connpy_connection_dealloc is called during GDB's exit is that the global all_connection_objects map is still holding a reference to the gdb.TargetConnection object. When the map is destroyed during GDB's exit, the gdb.TargetConnection objects within the map can finally be deallocated. The reason why all_connection_objects has contents when GDB exits, and the reason the assert fires, is that, when GDB exits, there are still some connections that have not yet been removed from GDB, that is, they have a non-zero reference count. If we take a look at quit_force (top.c) you can see that, for each inferior, we call pop_all_targets before we (later in the function) call do_final_cleanups. It is the do_final_cleanups call that is responsible for shutting down the Python interpreter. The pop_all_targets calls should, in theory, cause all the connections to be removed from GDB. That this isn't working indicates that some targets have a non-zero reference count even after this final pop_all_targets call, and indeed, when I debug GDB, that is what I see. I tracked the problem down to delete_inferior where we do some house keeping, and then delete the inferior object, which calls inferior::~inferior. In neither delete_inferior or inferior::~inferior do we call pop_all_targets, and it is this missing call that means we leak some references to the target_ops objects on the inferior's target_stack. In this commit I will provide a partial fix for the problem. I say partial fix, but this will actually be enough to resolve the crash. In a later commit I will provide the final part of the fix. As mentioned at the start of the commit message, this commit changes the m_stack in target_stack to hold target_ops_ref objects. This means that when inferior::~inferior is called, and m_stack is released, we automatically decrement the target_ops reference count. With this change in place we no longer leak any references, and now, in quit_force the final pop_all_targets calls will release the final references. This means that the targets will be correctly closed at this point, which means the connections will be removed from GDB and the Python objects deallocated before the Python interpreter shuts down. There's a slight oddity in target_stack::unpush, where we std::move the reference out of m_stack like this: auto ref = std::move (m_stack[stratum]); the `ref' isn't used explicitly, but it serves to hold the target_ops_ref until the end of the scope while allowing the m_stack entry to be reset back to nullptr. The alternative would be to directly set the m_stack entry to nullptr, like this: m_stack[stratum] = nullptr; The problem here is that when we set the m_stack entry to nullptr we first decrement the target_ops reference count, and then set the array entry to nullptr. If the decrement means that the target_ops object reaches a zero reference count then the target_ops object will be closed by calling target_close. In target_close we ensure that the target being closed is not in any inferiors target_stack. As we decrement before clearing, then this check in target_close will fail, and an assert will trigger. By using std::move to move the reference out of m_stack, this clears the m_stack entry, meaning the inferior no longer contains the target_ops in its target_stack. Now when the REF object goes out of scope and the reference count is decremented, target_close can run successfully. I've made use of the Python connection_removed listener API to add a test for this issue. The test installs a listener and then causes delete_inferior to be called, we can then see that the connection is then correctly removed (because the listener triggers).

…ames to the frame cache The test gdb.base/frame-view.exp fails like this on AArch64: frame^M #0 baz (z1=hahaha, /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/value.c:4056: internal-error: value_fetch_lazy_register: Assertion `next_frame != NULL' failed.^M A problem internal to GDB has been detected,^M further debugging may prove unreliable.^M FAIL: gdb.base/frame-view.exp: with_pretty_printer=true: frame (GDB internal error) The sequence of events leading to this is the following: - When we create the user frame (the "select-frame view" command), we create a sentinel frame just for our user-created frame, in create_new_frame. This sentinel frame has the same id as the regular sentinel frame. - When printing the frame, after doing the "select-frame view" command, the argument's pretty printer is invoked, which does an inferior function call (this is the point of the test). This clears the frame cache, including the "real" sentinel frame, which sets the sentinel_frame global to nullptr. - Later in the frame-printing process (when printing the second argument), the auto-reinflation mechanism re-creates the user frame by calling create_new_frame again, creating its own special sentinel frame again. However, note that the "real" sentinel frame, the sentinel_frame global, is still nullptr. If the selected frame had been a regular frame, we would have called get_current_frame at some point during the reinflation, which would have re-created the "real" sentinel frame. But it's not the case when reinflating a user frame. - Deep down the stack, something wants to fill in the unwind stop reason for frame 0, which requires trying to unwind frame 1.

This function does frame_unwind_register_unsigned (this_frame, AARCH64_LR_REGNUM); - frame_unwind_register_unsigned ultimately creates a lazy register value, saving the frame id of this_frame->next. this_frame is the user-created frame, to this_frame->next is the special sentinel frame we created for it. So the saved ID is the sentinel frame ID. - When time comes to un-lazify the value, value_fetch_lazy_register calls frame_find_by_id, to find the frame with the ID we saved. - frame_find_by_id sees it's the sentinel frame ID, so returns the sentinel_frame global, which is, if you remember, nullptr. - We hit the `gdb_assert (next_frame != NULL)` assertion in value_fetch_lazy_register. The issues I see here are: - The ID of the sentinel frame created for the user-created frame is not distinguishable from the ID of the regular sentinel frame. So there's no way frame_find_by_id could find the right frame, in value_fetch_lazy_register. - Even if they had distinguishable IDs, sentinel frames created for user frames are not registered anywhere, so there's no easy way frame_find_by_id could find it. This patch addresses these two issues: - Give sentinel frames created for user frames their own distinct IDs - Register sentinel frames in the frame cache, so they can be found with frame_find_by_id. I initially had this split in two patches, but I then found that it was easier to explain as a single patch. Rergarding the first part of the change: with this patch, the sentinel frames created for user frames (in create_new_frame) still have stack_status == FID_STACK_SENTINEL, but their code_addr and stack_addr fields are now filled with the addresses used to create the user frame. This ensures this sentinel frame ID is different from the "target" sentinel frame ID, as well as any other "user" sentinel frame ID. If the user tries to create the same frame, with the same addresses, multiple times, create_sentinel_frame just reuses the existing frame. So we won't end up with multiple user sentinels with the same ID. Regular "target" sentinel frames remain with code_addr and stack_addr unset. The concrete changes for that part are: - Remove the sentinel_frame_id constant, since there isn't one "sentinel frame ID" now. Add the frame_id_build_sentinel function for building sentinel frame IDs and a is_sentinel_frame_id function to check if a frame id represents a sentinel frame. - Replace the sentinel_frame_id check in frame_find_by_id with a comparison to `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)`. The sentinel_frame global is meant to contain a reference to the "target" sentinel, so the one with addresses (0, 0). - Add stack and code address parameters to create_sentinel_frame, to be able to create the various types of sentinel frames. - Adjust get_current_frame to create the regular "target" sentinel. - Adjust create_new_frame to create a sentinel with the ID specific to the created user frame. - Adjust sentinel_frame_prev_register to get the sentinel frame ID from the frame_info object, since there isn't a single "sentinel frame ID" now. - Change get_next_frame_sentinel_okay to check for a sentinel-frame-id-like frame ID, rather than for sentinel_frame specifically, since this function could be called with another sentinel frame (and we would want the assert to catch it). The rest of the change is about registering the sentinel frame in the frame cache: - Change frame_stash_add's assertion to allow sentinel frame levels (-1). - Make create_sentinel_frame add the frame to the frame cache. - Change the "sentinel_frame != NULL" check in reinit_frame_cache for a check that the frame stash is not empty. The idea is that if we only have some user-created frames in the cache when reinit_frame_cache is called, we probably want to emit the frames invalid annotation. The goal of that check is to avoid unnecessary repeated annotations, I suppose, so the "frame cache not empty" check should achieve that. After this change, I think we could theoritically get rid of the sentienl_frame global. That sentinel frame could always be found by looking up `frame_id_build_sentinel (0, 0)` in the frame cache. However, I left the global there to avoid slowing the typical case down for nothing. I however, noted in its comment that it is an optimization. With this fix applied, the gdb.base/frame-view.exp now passes for me on AArch64. value_of_register_lazy now saves the special sentinel frame ID in the value, and value_fetch_lazy_register is able to find that sentinel frame after the frame cache reinit and after the user-created frame was reinflated.

Tom de Vries reported [1] a regression in gdb.btrace/record_goto.exp caused by 6d3717d ("gdb: call frame unwinders' dealloc_cache methods through destroying the frame cache"). This issue is caught by ASan. On a non-ASan build, it may or may not cause a crash or some other issue, I haven't tried. I managed to narrow it down to: $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory testsuite/outputs/gdb.btrace/record_goto/record_goto -ex "start" -ex "record btrace" -ex "next" ... and then doing repeatedly "record goto 19" and "record goto 27". Eventually, I get: (gdb) record goto 27 ================================================================= ==1527735==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x6210003392a8 at pc 0x55e4c26eef86 bp 0x7ffd229f24e0 sp 0x7ffd229f24d8 READ of size 8 at 0x6210003392a8 thread T0 #0 0x55e4c26eef85 in bfcache_eq /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:1639 #1 0x55e4c37cdeff in htab_find_slot_with_hash /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/hashtab.c:659 #2 0x55e4c37ce24a in htab_find_slot /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/hashtab.c:703 #3 0x55e4c26ef0c6 in bfcache_new /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:1653 #4 0x55e4c26f1242 in record_btrace_frame_sniffer /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:1820 #5 0x55e4c1b926a1 in frame_unwind_try_unwinder /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame-unwind.c:136 #6 0x55e4c1b930d7 in frame_unwind_find_by_frame(frame_info_ptr, void**) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame-unwind.c:196 #7 0x55e4c1bb867f in get_frame_type(frame_info_ptr) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:2925 #8 0x55e4c2ae6798 in print_frame_info(frame_print_options const&, frame_info_ptr, int, print_what, int, int) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:1049 #9 0x55e4c2ade3e1 in print_stack_frame(frame_info_ptr, int, print_what, int) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/stack.c:367 #10 0x55e4c26fda03 in record_btrace_set_replay /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:2779 #11 0x55e4c26fddc3 in record_btrace_target::goto_record(unsigned long) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:2843 #12 0x55e4c2de2bb2 in target_goto_record(unsigned long) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:4169 #13 0x55e4c275ed98 in record_goto(char const*) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record.c:372 #14 0x55e4c275edba in cmd_record_goto /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record.c:383 0x6210003392a8 is located 424 bytes inside of 4064-byte region [0x621000339100,0x62100033a0e0) freed by thread T0 here: #0 0x7f6ca34a5b6f in __interceptor_free ../../../../src/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:123 #1 0x55e4c38a4c17 in rpl_free /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gnulib/import/free.c:44 #2 0x55e4c1bbd378 in xfree<void> /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/gdb-xfree.h:37 #3 0x55e4c37d1b63 in call_freefun /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/obstack.c:103 #4 0x55e4c37d25a2 in _obstack_free /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/obstack.c:280 #5 0x55e4c1bad701 in reinit_frame_cache() /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:2112 #6 0x55e4c27705a3 in registers_changed_ptid(process_stratum_target*, ptid_t) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:564 #7 0x55e4c27708c7 in registers_changed_thread(thread_info*) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:573 #8 0x55e4c26fd922 in record_btrace_set_replay /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:2772 #9 0x55e4c26fddc3 in record_btrace_target::goto_record(unsigned long) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:2843 #10 0x55e4c2de2bb2 in target_goto_record(unsigned long) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:4169 #11 0x55e4c275ed98 in record_goto(char const*) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record.c:372 #12 0x55e4c275edba in cmd_record_goto /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record.c:383 previously allocated by thread T0 here: #0 0x7f6ca34a5e8f in __interceptor_malloc ../../../../src/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:145 #1 0x55e4c0b55c60 in xmalloc /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/alloc.c:57 #2 0x55e4c37d1a6d in call_chunkfun /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/obstack.c:94 #3 0x55e4c37d1c20 in _obstack_begin_worker /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/obstack.c:141 #4 0x55e4c37d1ed7 in _obstack_begin /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/libiberty/obstack.c:164 #5 0x55e4c1bad728 in reinit_frame_cache() /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/frame.c:2113 #6 0x55e4c27705a3 in registers_changed_ptid(process_stratum_target*, ptid_t) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:564 #7 0x55e4c27708c7 in registers_changed_thread(thread_info*) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/regcache.c:573 #8 0x55e4c26fd922 in record_btrace_set_replay /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:2772 #9 0x55e4c26fddc3 in record_btrace_target::goto_record(unsigned long) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record-btrace.c:2843 #10 0x55e4c2de2bb2 in target_goto_record(unsigned long) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/target.c:4169 #11 0x55e4c275ed98 in record_goto(char const*) /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record.c:372 #12 0x55e4c275edba in cmd_record_goto /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/record.c:383 The problem is a stale entry in the bfcache hash table (in record-btrace.c), left across a reinit_frame_cache. This entry points to something that used to be allocated on the frame obstack, that has since been wiped by reinit_frame_cache. Before the aforementioned, unwinder deallocation functions were called by iterating on the frame chain, starting with the sentinel frame, like so: /* Tear down all frame caches. */ for (frame_info *fi = sentinel_frame; fi != NULL; fi = fi->prev) { if (fi->prologue_cache && fi->unwind->dealloc_cache) fi->unwind->dealloc_cache (fi, fi->prologue_cache); if (fi->base_cache && fi->base->unwind->dealloc_cache) fi->base->unwind->dealloc_cache (fi, fi->base_cache); } After that patch, we relied on the fact that all frames are (supposedly) in the frame_stash. A deletion function was added to the frame_stash hash table, so that dealloc functions would be called when emptying the frame stash. There is one case, however, where a frame_info is not in the frame stash. That is when we create the frame_info for the current frame (level 0, unwound from the sentinel frame), but don't compute its frame id. The computation of the frame id for that frame (and only that frame, AFAIK) is done lazily. And putting a frame_info in the frame stash requires knowing its id. So a frame 0 whose frame id is not computed yet is necessarily not in the frame stash. When replaying with btrace, record_btrace_frame_sniffer insert entries corresponding to frames in the "bfcache" hash table. It then relies on record_btrace_frame_dealloc_cache being called for each frame to remove all those entries when the frames get invalidated. If a frame reinit happens while frame 0's id is not computed (and therefore that frame is not in frame_stash), record_btrace_frame_dealloc_cache does not get called for it, and it leaves a stale entry in bfcache. That then leads to a use-after-free when that entry is accessed later, which ASan catches. The proposed solution is to explicitly call frame_info_del on frame 0, if it exists, and if its frame id is not computed. If its frame id is computed, it is expected that it will be in the frame stash, so it will be "deleted" through that.

I noticed that if Ctrl-C was typed just while GDB is evaluating a breakpoint condition in the background, and GDB ends up reaching out to the Python interpreter, then the breakpoint condition would still fail, like: c& Continuing.

The fix is to disable cooperative SIGINT handling while handling inferior events, so that SIGINT is saved in the global quit flag, and not in the extension language, while handling an event.

Commit 7a8de0c ("Remove ALL_BREAKPOINTS_SAFE") introduced a use-after-free in the breakpoints iterations (see below for full ASan report). This makes gdb.base/stale-infcall.exp fail when GDB is build with ASan. check_longjmp_breakpoint_for_call_dummy iterates on all breakpoints, possibly deleting the current breakpoint as well as related breakpoints. The problem arises when a breakpoint in the B->related_breakpoint chain is also B->next. In that case, deleting that related breakpoint frees the breakpoint that all_breakpoints_safe has saved. The old code worked around that by manually changing B_TMP, which was the next breakpoint saved by the "safe iterator": while (b->related_breakpoint != b) { if (b_tmp == b->related_breakpoint) b_tmp = b->related_breakpoint->next; delete_breakpoint (b->related_breakpoint); } (Note that this seemed to assume that b->related_breakpoint->next was the same as b->next->next, not sure this is guaranteed.) The new code kept the B_TMP variable, but it's not useful in that context. We can't go change the next breakpoint as saved by the safe iterator, like we did before. I suggest fixing that by saving the breakpoints to delete in a map and deleting them all at the end.

(/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8+0x3b246) (BuildId: 092e91fc4361b0ef94561e3ae03a75f69398acbb) The problem is in cli/cli-cmds.c, in the function setting_cmd, where we do this: const char *a0 = (const char *) argv[0]->contents ().data (); Here argv[0] is a value* which we know is either a TYPE_CODE_ARRAY or a TYPE_CODE_STRING. The problem is that the above line is casting the value contents directly to a C-string, i.e. one that is assumed to have a null-terminator at the end. After the above commit this can no longer be assumed to be true. A string value will be represented just as it would be in the current language, so for Ada and Fortran the string will be an array of characters with no null-terminator at the end. My proposed solution is to copy the string contents into a std::string object, and then use the std::string::c_str() value, this will ensure that a null-terminator has been added. I had a check through GDB at places TYPE_CODE_STRING was used and couldn't see any other obvious places where this type of assumption was being made, so hopefully this is the only offender. Running the above test with ASan compiled in no longer gives an error. Reviewed-By: Tom Tromey <[email protected]>

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/index-cache.c:76 in index_cache::enable() ... The race happens when issuing a "file $exec" command followed by a "set index-cache enabled on" command. The race is between: - a worker thread reading index_cache::m_enabled to determine whether an index-cache entry for $exec needs to be written (due to command "file $exec"), and - the main thread setting index_cache::m_enabled (due to command "set index-cache enabled on"). Fix this by capturing the value of index_cache::m_enabled in the main thread, and using the captured value in the worker thread. Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race bfd/cache.c:584 in bfd_open_file ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread getting the build id while writing the index cache, and in the process reading bfd::format, and - the main thread calling find_main_name, and in the process setting bfd::cacheable. The two bitfields bfd::cacheable and bfd::format share the same bitfield container. Fix this by capturing the build id in the main thread, and using the captured value in the worker thread. Likewise for the dwz build id, which likely suffers from the same issue. While we're at it, also move the creation of the cache directory to the index_cache_store_context constructor, to: - make sure there's no race between subsequent file commands, and - issue any related warning or error messages during the file command. Tested on x86_64-linux. Approved-By: Tom Tromey <[email protected]> PR symtab/30392 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30392

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:21513 in dwarf2_per_cu_data::get_header() const ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and - the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in. The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in and dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container. Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::m_header_read_in a packed<bool, 1>. Tested on x86_64-linux.

SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/dwarf2/read.c:3077 in dw_expand_symtabs_matching_file_matcher(dwarf2_per_objfile*, gdb::function_view<bool (char const*, bool)>) ... The race happens when issuing the "file $exec" command. The race is between: - a worker thread writing the index cache, and in the process reading dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type, and - the main thread writing to dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark. The two bitfields dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark and dwarf2_per_cu_data::is_debug_type share the same bitfield container. Fix this by making dwarf2_per_cu_data::mark a packed<unsigned int, 1>. Tested on x86_64-linux. PR symtab/30718 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30718

It was pointed out on the mailing list that a recently added test (gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp) was failing when run with the native-extended-gdbserver board. This test was added with this commit: commit 59912fb Date: Tue Sep 19 11:45:36 2023 +0100 gdb: add Python events for program space addition and removal It turns out though that the test is failing due to a existing bug in GDB, the new test just exposes the problem. Additionally, the failure really doesn't even rely on the new functionality added in the above commit. I reduced the test to a simple set of steps that reproduced the failure and tested against GDB 13, and the test passes; so the bug was introduced since then. In fact, the bug was introduced with this commit: commit a282736 Date: Fri Sep 8 15:48:16 2023 +0100 gdb: remove final user of the executable_changed observer This commit changed how the per-inferior auxv data cache is managed, specifically, when the cache is cleared, and it is this that leads to the failure. This bug is interesting because it exposes a number of issues with GDB, I'll explain all of the problems I see, though ultimately, I only propose fixing one problem in this commit, which is enough to resolve the crash we are currently seeing. The crash that we are seeing manifests like this: ...

What's happening is that GDB attempts to refill the auxv cache as a result of the gdbarch_has_shared_address_space call in program_space::~program_space, the backtrace looks like this: #0 0x00007fb4f419a9a5 in raise () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00000000008b635d in handle_fatal_signal (sig=6) at ../../src/gdb/event-top.c:912 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x00007fb4f38e3625 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #4 0x00007fb4f38cc8d9 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #5 0x00007fb4f3c70756 in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler() [clone .cold] () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #6 0x00007fb4f3c7c6dc in __cxxabiv1::__terminate(void (*)()) () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #7 0x00007fb4f3c7b6e9 in __cxa_call_terminate () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #8 0x00007fb4f3c7c094 in __gxx_personality_v0 () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #9 0x00007fb4f3a80c63 in _Unwind_RaiseException_Phase2 () from /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 #10 0x00007fb4f3a8154e in _Unwind_Resume () from /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 #11 0x0000000000e8832d in target_read_alloc_1<unsigned char> (ops=0x408a3a0, object=TARGET_OBJECT_AUXV, annex=0x0) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:2266 #12 0x0000000000e73dea in target_read_alloc (ops=0x408a3a0, object=TARGET_OBJECT_AUXV, annex=0x0) at ../../src/gdb/target.c:2315 #13 0x000000000058248c in target_read_auxv_raw (ops=0x408a3a0) at ../../src/gdb/auxv.c:379 #14 0x000000000058243d in target_read_auxv () at ../../src/gdb/auxv.c:368 #15 0x000000000058255c in target_auxv_search (match=0x0, valp=0x7ffdee17c598) at ../../src/gdb/auxv.c:415 #16 0x0000000000a464bb in linux_is_uclinux () at ../../src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:433 #17 0x0000000000a464f6 in linux_has_shared_address_space (gdbarch=0x409a2d0) at ../../src/gdb/linux-tdep.c:440 #18 0x0000000000510eae in gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (gdbarch=0x409a2d0) at ../../src/gdb/gdbarch.c:4889 #19 0x0000000000bc7558 in program_space::~program_space (this=0x4544aa0, __in_chrg=<optimized out>) at ../../src/gdb/progspace.c:124 #20 0x00000000009b245d in delete_inferior (inf=0x47b3de0) at ../../src/gdb/inferior.c:290 #21 0x00000000009b2c10 in prune_inferiors () at ../../src/gdb/inferior.c:480 #22 0x00000000009c5e3e in fetch_inferior_event () at ../../src/gdb/infrun.c:4558 #23 0x000000000099b4dc in inferior_event_handler (event_type=INF_REG_EVENT) at ../../src/gdb/inf-loop.c:42 #24 0x0000000000cbc64f in remote_async_serial_handler (scb=0x4090a30, context=0x408a6b0) at ../../src/gdb/remote.c:14859 #25 0x0000000000d83d3a in run_async_handler_and_reschedule (scb=0x4090a30) at ../../src/gdb/ser-base.c:138 #26 0x0000000000d83e1f in fd_event (error=0, context=0x4090a30) at ../../src/gdb/ser-base.c:189 So this is problem #1, if we throw an exception while deleting a program_space then this is not caught, and is going to crash GDB. Problem #2 becomes evident when we ask why GDB is throwing an error in this case; the error is thrown because the remote target, operating in non-async mode, can't read the auxv data while an inferior is running and GDB is waiting for a stop reply. The problem here then, is why does GDB get into a position where it tries to interact with the remote target in this way, at this time? The problem is caused by the prune_inferiors call which can be seen in the above backtrace. In prune_inferiors we check if the inferior is deletable, and if it is, we delete it. The problem is, I think, we should also check if the target is currently in a state that would allow us to delete the inferior. We don't currently have such a check available, we'd need to add one, but for the remote target, this would return false if the remote is in async mode and the remote is currently waiting for a stop reply. With this change in place GDB would defer deleting the inferior until the remote target has stopped, at which point GDB would be able to refill the auxv cache successfully. And then, problem #3 becomes evident when we ask why GDB is needing to refill the auxv cache now when it didn't need to for GDB 13. This is where the second commit mentioned above (a282736) comes in. Prior to this commit, the auxv cache was cleared by the executable_changed observer, while after that commit the auxv cache was cleared by the new_objfile observer -- but only when the new_objfile observer is used in the special mode that actually means that all objfiles have been unloaded (I know, the overloading of the new_objfile observer is horrible, and unnecessary, but it's not really important for this bug). The difference arises because the new_objfile observer is triggered from clear_symtab_users, which in turn is called from program_space::~program_space. The new_objfile observer for auxv does this: static void auxv_new_objfile_observer (struct objfile *objfile) { if (objfile == nullptr) invalidate_auxv_cache_inf (current_inferior ()); } That is, when all the objfiles are unloaded, we clear the auxv cache for the current inferior. The problem is, then when we look at the prune_inferiors -> delete_inferior -> ~program_space path, we see that the current inferior is not going to be an inferior that exists within the program_space being deleted; delete_inferior removes the deleted inferior from the global inferior list, and then only deletes the program_space if program_space::empty() returns true, which is only the case if the current inferior isn't within the program_space to delete, and no other inferior exists within that program_space either. What this means is that when the new_objfile observer is called we can't rely on the current inferior having any relationship with the program space in which the objfiles were removed. This was an error in the commit a282736, the only thing we can rely on is the current program space. As a result of this mistake, after commit a282736, GDB was sometimes clearing the auxv cache for a random inferior. In the native target case this was harmless as we can always refill the cache when needed, but in the remote target case, if we need to refill the cache when the remote target is executing, then we get the crash we observed. And additionally, if we think about this a little more, we see that commit a282736 made another mistake. When all the objfiles are removed, they are removed from a program_space, a program_space might contain multiple inferiors, so surely, we should clear the auxv cache for all of the matching inferiors? Given these two insights, that the current_inferior is not relevant, only the current_program_space, and that we should be clearing the cache for all inferiors in the current_program_space, we can update auxv_new_objfile_observer to: if (objfile == nullptr) { for (inferior *inf : all_inferiors ()) { if (inf->pspace == current_program_space) invalidate_auxv_cache_inf (inf); } } With this change we now correctly clear the auxv cache for the correct inferiors, and GDB no longer needs to refill the cache at an inconvenient time, this avoids the crash we were seeing. And finally, we reach problem #4. Inspired by the observation that using the current_inferior from within the ~program_space function was not correct, I added some debug to see if current_inferior() was called anywhere else (below ~program_space), and the answer is yes, it's called a often. Mostly the culprit is GDB doing: current_inferior ()->top_target ()-> .... But I think all of these calls are most likely doing the wrong thing, and only work because the top target in all these cases is shared between all inferiors, e.g. it's the native target, or the remote target for all inferiors. But if we had a truly multi-connection setup, then we might start to see odd behaviour. Problem #1 I'm just ignoring for now, I guess at some point we might run into this again, and then we'd need to solve this. But in this case I wasn't sure what a "good" solution would look like. We need the auxv data in order to implement the linux_is_uclinux() function. If we can't get the auxv data then what should we do, assume yes, or assume no? The right answer would probably be to propagate the error back up the stack, but then we reach ~program_space, and throwing exceptions from a destructor is problematic, so we'd need to catch and deal at this point. The linux_is_uclinux() call is made from within gdbarch_has_shared_address_space(), which is used like: if (!gdbarch_has_shared_address_space (target_gdbarch ())) delete this->aspace; So, we would have to choose; delete the address space or not. If we delete it on error, then we might delete an address space that is shared within another program space. If we don't delete the address space, then we might leak it. Neither choice is great. A better solution might be to have the address spaces be reference counted, then we could remove the gdbarch_has_shared_address_space call completely, and just rely on the reference count to auto-delete the address space when appropriate. The solution for problem #2 I already hinted at above, we should have a new target_can_delete_inferiors() call, which should be called from prune_inferiors, this would prevent GDB from trying to delete inferiors when a (remote) target is in a state where we know it can't delete the inferior. Deleting an inferior often (always?) requires sending packets to the remote, and if the remote is waiting for a stop reply then this will never work, so the pruning should be deferred in this case. The solution for problem #3 is included in this commit. And, for problem #4, I'm not sure what the right solution is. Maybe delete_inferior should ensure the inferior to be deleted is in place when ~program_space is called? But that seems a little weird, as the current inferior would, in theory, still be using the current program_space... Anyway, after this commit, the gdb.python/py-progspace-events.exp test now passes when run with the native-extended-remote board.

When using GDB on native linux, it can happen that, while attempting to detach an inferior, the inferior may have been exited or have been killed, yet still be in the list of lwps. Should that happen, the assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers in gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c will trigger. The line in question looks like this: gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp)); For this case, the lwp isn't stopped - it's dead. The bug which brought this problem to my attention is one in which the pwntools library uses GDB to to debug a process; as the script is shutting things down, it kills the process that GDB is debugging and also sends GDB a SIGTERM signal, which causes GDB to detach all inferiors prior to exiting. Here's a link to the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2192169 The following shell command mimics part of what the pwntools reproducer script does (with regard to shutting things down), but reproduces the bug much less reliably. I have found it necessary to run the command a bunch of times before seeing the bug. (I usually see it within 5-10 repetitions.) If you choose to try this command, make sure that you have no running "cat" or "gdb" processes first! cat </dev/zero >/dev/null & \ (sleep 5; (kill -KILL `pgrep cat` & kill -TERM `pgrep gdb`)) & \ sleep 1 ; \ gdb -q -iex 'set debuginfod enabled off' -ex 'set height 0' \ -ex c /usr/bin/cat `pgrep cat` So, basically, the idea here is to kill both gdb and cat at roughly the same time. If we happen to attempt the detach before the process lwp has been deleted from GDB's (linux native) LWP data structures, then the assert will trigger. The relevant part of the backtrace looks like this: #8 0x00000000008a83ae in x86_linux_update_debug_registers (lwp=0x1873280) at gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146 #9 0x00000000008a862f in x86_linux_prepare_to_resume (lwp=0x1873280) at gdb/nat/x86-linux.c:81 #10 0x000000000048ea42 in x86_linux_nat_target::low_prepare_to_resume ( this=0x121eee0 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>, lwp=0x1873280) at gdb/x86-linux-nat.h:70 #11 0x000000000081a452 in detach_one_lwp (lp=0x1873280, signo_p=0x7fff8ca3441c) at gdb/linux-nat.c:1374 #12 0x000000000081a85f in linux_nat_target::detach ( this=0x121eee0 <the_amd64_linux_nat_target>, inf=0x16e8f70, from_tty=0) at gdb/linux-nat.c:1450 #13 0x000000000083a23b in thread_db_target::detach ( this=0x1206ae0 <the_thread_db_target>, inf=0x16e8f70, from_tty=0) at gdb/linux-thread-db.c:1385 #14 0x0000000000a66722 in target_detach (inf=0x16e8f70, from_tty=0) at gdb/target.c:2526 #15 0x0000000000a8f0ad in kill_or_detach (inf=0x16e8f70, from_tty=0) at gdb/top.c:1659 #16 0x0000000000a8f4fa in quit_force (exit_arg=0x0, from_tty=0) at gdb/top.c:1762 #17 0x000000000070829c in async_sigterm_handler (arg=0x0) at gdb/event-top.c:1141 My colleague, Andrew Burgess, has done some recent work on other problems with detach. Upon hearing of this problem, he came up a test case which reliably reproduces the problem and tests for a few other problems as well. In addition to testing detach when the inferior has terminated due to a signal, it also tests detach when the inferior has exited normally. Andrew observed that the linux-native-only "checkpoint" command would be affected too, so the test also tests those cases when there's an active checkpoint. For the LWP exit / termination case with no checkpoint, that's handled via newly added checks of the waitstatus in detach_one_lwp in linux-nat.c. For the checkpoint detach problem, I chose to pass the lwp_info to linux_fork_detach in linux-fork.c. With that in place, suitable tests were added before attempting a PTRACE_DETACH operation. I added a few asserts at the beginning of linux_fork_detach and modified the caller code so that the newly added asserts shouldn't trigger. (That's what the 'pid == inferior_ptid.pid' check is about in gdb/linux-nat.c.) Lastly, I'll note that the checkpoint code needs some work with regard to background execution. This patch doesn't attempt to fix that problem, but it doesn't make it any worse. It does slightly improve the situation with detach because, due to the check noted above, linux_fork_detach() won't be called for the wrong inferior when there are multiple inferiors. (There are at least two other problems with the checkpoint code when there are multiple inferiors. See: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31065) This commit also adds a new test, gdb.base/process-dies-while-detaching.exp. Andrew Burgess is the primary author of this test case. Its design is similar to that of gdb.threads/main-thread-exit-during-detach.exp, which was also written by Andrew. This test checks that GDB correctly handles several cases that can occur when GDB attempts to detach an inferior process. The process can exit or be terminated (e.g. via SIGKILL) prior to GDB's event loop getting a chance to remove it from GDB's internal data structures. To complicate things even more, detach works differently when a checkpoint (created via GDB's "checkpoint" command) exists for the inferior. This test checks all four possibilities: process exit with no checkpoint, process termination with no checkpoint, process exit with a checkpoint, and process termination with a checkpoint.

After closing "Bug 30770 - serial.c does not preserve errno correctly" https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30770 remote debugging became impossible due to an attempt to recv() by a call intended for the socket, and not for the character device file. The documentation implicitly states that it is possible to use the read() call to work with a socket. But this does not mean in the general case that it is permissible to use recv in the case of a non-socket. condition: os: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 23.10 Release: 23.10 Codename: mantic libc: ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.38-1ubuntu6) 2.38 kernel: Linux klen-dev-um790pro 6.5.0-14-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Nov 14 14:59:49 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux gdb: build from trank at 15.0.50.20231226-git GDB output: $ arm-kgp-eabi-gdb GNU gdb (Klen's_GNU_package_(KGP)_for_target::arm-kgp-eabi<rmprofile/lto>_host::x86_64-kgp-linux-gnu_znver4-avx512<<ílex>>) 15.0.50.20231226-git ....

AFAIU, there's a race between the two threads on gdb_stderr: - the DAP thread samples the gdb_stderr value, and uses it a bit later to print to - the gdb main thread changes the gdb_stderr value forth and back, using a temporary value for string capture purposes The non-sound stream value is caused by gdb_stderr being sampled while pointing to a str_file object, and used once the str_file object is already destroyed. The error here is that the DAP thread attempts to print to gdb_stderr. Fix this by adding a thread_wrapper that: - catches all exceptions and logs them to dap.log, and - while we're at it, logs when exiting and using the thread_wrapper for each DAP thread.

The direct cause of the segfault is calling PyGILState_Ensure after calling Py_Finalize. AFAICT the problem is a race between the gdb main thread and DAP's JSON writer thread. On one side, we have the following events: - DAP's JSON reader thread reads an EOF, and lets DAP's main thread known by writing None into read_queue - DAP's main thread lets DAP's JSON writer thread known by writing None into write_queue - DAP's JSON writer thread sees the None in its queue, and calls send_gdb("quit") - a corresponding gdbpy_event is deposited in the runnables vector, to be run by the gdb main thread On the other side, we have the following events: - the gdb main thread receives a SIGHUP - the corresponding handler calls quit_force, which calls do_final_cleanups - one of the final cleanups is finalize_python, which calls Py_Finalize - quit_force calls exit, which triggers the exit handlers - one of the exit handlers is the destructor of the runnables vector - destruction of the vector triggers destruction of the remaining element - the remaining element is a gdbpy_event, and the destructor (indirectly) calls PyGILState_Ensure It's good to note that both events (EOF and SIGHUP) are caused by this line in the test-case: ... catch "close -i $gdb_spawn_id" ... where "expect close" closes the stdin and stdout file descriptors, which causes the SIGHUP to be send. So, for the system I'm running this on, the send_gdb("quit") is actually not needed. I'm not sure if we support any systems where it's actually needed. Fix this by removing the send_gdb("quit").

gdbsupport/event-loop.cc:573 SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0x6da18) in memmove ... The error happens when trying to print either variable y or y2: ... type Variable_Record (A : Boolean := True) is record case A is when True => B : Integer; when False => C : Float; D : Integer; end case; end record; Y : Variable_Record := (A => True, B => 1); Y2 : Variable_Record := (A => False, C => 1.0, D => 2); ... when the variables are uninitialized. The error happens only when printing the entire variable: ... (gdb) p y.a $2 = 216 (gdb) p y.b There is no member named b. (gdb) p y.c $3 = 9.18340949e-41 (gdb) p y.d $4 = 1 (gdb) p y <AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow> ... The error happens as follows: - field a functions as discriminant, choosing either the b, or c+d variant. - when y.a happens to be set to 216, as above, gdb interprets this as the variable having the c+d variant (which is why trying to print y.b fails). - when printing y, gdb allocates a value, copies the bytes into it from the target, and then prints the value. - gdb allocates the value using the type size, which is 8. It's 8 because that's what the DW_AT_byte_size indicates. Note that for valid values of a, it gives correct results: if a is 0 (c+d variant), size is 12, if a is 1 (b variant), size is 8. - gdb tries to print field d, which is at an 8 byte offset, and that results in a out-of-bounds access for the allocated 8-byte value. Fix this by handling this case in value::contents_copy_raw, such that we have: ... (gdb) p y $1 = (a => 24, c => 9.18340949e-41, d => <error reading variable: access outside bounds of object>) ... An alternative (additional) fix could be this: in compute_variant_fields_inner gdb reads the discriminant y.a to decide which variant is active. It would be nice to detect that the value (y.a == 24) is not a valid Boolean, and give up on choosing a variant altoghether. However, the situation regarding the internal type CODE_TYPE_BOOL is currently ambiguous (see PR31282) and it's not possible to reliably decide what valid values are. The test-case source file gdb.ada/uninitialized-variable-record/parse.adb is a reduced version of gdb.ada/uninitialized_vars/parse.adb, so it copies the copyright years. Note that the test-case needs gcc-12 or newer, it's unsupported for older gcc versions. [ So, it would be nice to rewrite it into a dwarf assembly test-case. ] The test-case loops over all languages. This is inherited from an earlier attempt to fix this, which had language-specific fixes (in print_field_values, cp_print_value_fields, pascal_object_print_value_fields and f_language::value_print_inner). I've left this in, but I suppose it's not strictly necessary anymore. Tested on x86_64-linux. PR exp/31258 Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31258

From the Python API, we can execute GDB commands via gdb.execute. If the command gives an exception, however, we need to recover the GDB prompt and enable stdin, because the exception does not reach top-level GDB or normal_stop. This was done in commit commit 1ba1ac8 Author: Andrew Burgess <[email protected]> Date: Tue Nov 19 11:17:20 2019 +0000 gdb: Enable stdin on exception in execute_gdb_command with the following code: catch (const gdb_exception &except) { /* If an exception occurred then we won't hit normal_stop (), or have an exception reach the top level of the event loop, which are the two usual places in which stdin would be re-enabled. So, before we convert the exception and continue back in Python, we should re-enable stdin here. */ async_enable_stdin (); GDB_PY_HANDLE_EXCEPTION (except); } In this patch, we explain what happens when we run a GDB command in the context of a synchronous command, e.g. via Python observer notifications. As an example, suppose we have the following objfile event listener, specified in a file named file.py: ~~~ import gdb class MyListener: def __init__(self): gdb.events.new_objfile.connect(self.handle_new_objfile_event) self.processed_objfile = False def handle_new_objfile_event(self, event): if self.processed_objfile: return print("loading " + event.new_objfile.filename) self.processed_objfile = True gdb.execute('add-inferior -no-connection') gdb.execute('inferior 2') gdb.execute('target remote | gdbserver - /tmp/a.out') gdb.execute('inferior 1') the_listener = MyListener() ~~~ Using this Python file, we see the behavior below: $ gdb -q -ex "source file.py" -ex "run" --args a.out Reading symbols from a.out...

[Inferior 1 (process 3075400) exited normally] Note how the GDB prompt comes in-between the debugger output. We have this obscure behavior, because the executed command, "target remote", triggers an invocation of `normal_stop` that enables stdin. After that, however, the Python notification context completes and GDB continues with its normal flow of executing the 'run' command. This can be seen in the call stack below: (top-gdb) bt #0 async_enable_stdin () at src/gdb/event-top.c:523 #1 0x00005555561c3acd in normal_stop () at src/gdb/infrun.c:9432 #2 0x00005555561b328e in start_remote (from_tty=0) at src/gdb/infrun.c:3801 #3 0x0000555556441224 in remote_target::start_remote_1 (this=0x5555587882e0, from_tty=0, extended_p=0) at src/gdb/remote.c:5225 #4 0x000055555644166c in remote_target::start_remote (this=0x5555587882e0, from_tty=0, extended_p=0) at src/gdb/remote.c:5316 #5 0x00005555564430cf in remote_target::open_1 (name=0x55555878525e "| gdbserver - /tmp/a.out", from_tty=0, extended_p=0) at src/gdb/remote.c:6175 #6 0x0000555556441707 in remote_target::open (name=0x55555878525e "| gdbserver - /tmp/a.out", from_tty=0) at src/gdb/remote.c:5338 #7 0x00005555565ea63f in open_target (args=0x55555878525e "| gdbserver - /tmp/a.out", from_tty=0, command=0x555558589280) at src/gdb/target.c:824 #8 0x0000555555f0d89a in cmd_func (cmd=0x555558589280, args=0x55555878525e "| gdbserver - /tmp/a.out", from_tty=0) at src/gdb/cli/cli-decode.c:2735 #9 0x000055555661fb42 in execute_command (p=0x55555878529e "t", from_tty=0) at src/gdb/top.c:575 #10 0x0000555555f1a506 in execute_control_command_1 (cmd=0x555558756f00, from_tty=0) at src/gdb/cli/cli-script.c:529 #11 0x0000555555f1abea in execute_control_command (cmd=0x555558756f00, from_tty=0) at src/gdb/cli/cli-script.c:701 #12 0x0000555555f19fc7 in execute_control_commands (cmdlines=0x555558756f00, from_tty=0) at src/gdb/cli/cli-script.c:411 #13 0x0000555556400d91 in execute_gdb_command (self=0x7ffff43b5d00, args=0x7ffff440ab60, kw=0x0) at src/gdb/python/python.c:700 #14 0x00007ffff7a96023 in ??

In principle, we would reproduce the problem with any command that triggers an invocation of `normal_stop`. To omit enabling the stdin in `normal_stop`, we would have to check the context we are in. Since we cannot do that, we add a new field to `struct ui` to track whether the prompt was already blocked, and set the tracker flag in the Python context before executing a GDB command.

The abort happens because a c++ exception escapes to c code, specifically opncls_bstat in bfd/opncls.c. Compiling with -fexceptions works around this. Fix this by catching the exception just before it escapes, in stat_trampoline and likewise in few similar spot. Add a new template catch_exceptions to do so in a consistent way.

This patch fixes encoding and syntax for sve2p1 instructions ld[1-4]q/st[1-4]q as mentioned below, for the issues reported here. https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2024-February/132408.html 1) Previously all the ld[1-4]q/st[1-4]q instructions are wrongly added as predicated instructions and this issue is fixed in this patch by replacing "SVE2p1_INSNC" with "SVE2p1_INSN" macro. 2) Wrong first operand in all the ld[1-4]q/st[1-4]q instructions is fixed by replacing "SVE_Zt" with "SVE_ZtxN". 3) Wrong operand qualifiers in ld1q and st1q instructions are also fixed in this patch. 4) In ld1q/st1q the index in the second argument is optional and if index is xzr and is skipped in the assembly, the index field is ignored by the disassembler. Fixing above mentioned issues helps with following: 1) ld1q and st1q first register operand accepts enclosed figure braces. 2) ld2q, ld3q, ld4q, st2q, st3q, and st4q instructions accepts wrapping sequence of vector registers. For the instructions ld[2-4]q/st[2-4]q, tests for wrapping sequence of vector registers are added along with short-form of operands for non-wrapping sequence. I have added test using following logic: ld2q {Z0.Q, Z1.Q}, p0/Z, [x0, #0, MUL VL] //raw insn encoding (all zeroes) ld2q {Z31.Q, Z0.Q}, p0/Z, [x0, #0, MUL VL] // encoding of <Zt1> ld2q {Z0.Q, Z1.Q}, p7/Z, [x0, #0, MUL VL] // encoding of <Pg> ld2q {Z0.Q, Z1.Q}, p0/Z, [x30, #0, MUL VL] // encoding of <Xm> ld2q {Z0.Q, Z1.Q}, p0/Z, [x0, #-16, MUL VL] // encoding of <imm> (low value) ld2q {Z0.Q, Z1.Q}, p0/Z, [x0, #14, MUL VL] // encoding of <imm> (high value) ld2q {Z31.Q, Z0.Q}, p7/Z, [x30, #-16, MUL VL] // encoding of all fields (all ones) ld2q {Z30.Q, Z31.Q}, p1/Z, [x3, #-2, MUL VL] // random encoding. For all the above form of instructions the hyphenated form is preferred for disassembly if there are more than two registers in the list, and the register numbers are monotonically increasing in increments of one.
