When we attempt to debug a process using GDBserver in standard remote mode without a symbol file on GDB's end, we may run into an issue where GDB cuts the connection attempt short due to an error. The error is caused by not being able to open a symbol file, like so: -- (gdb) set sysroot (gdb) tar rem :2345 Remote debugging using :2345 /proc/23769/exe: Permission denied. (gdb) i r The program has no registers now. (gdb) It should've been like this: (gdb) set sysroot (gdb) tar rem :2345 Remote debugging using :2345 warning: /tmp/symbol-file: Permission denied. 0xf7ddb2d0 in ?? () (gdb) i r eax 0x0 0 ecx 0x0 0 edx 0x0 0 ebx 0x0 0 esp 0xffffdfa0 0xffffdfa0 ebp 0x0 0x0 esi 0x0 0 edi 0x0 0 eip 0xf7ddb2d0 0xf7ddb2d0 eflags 0x200 [ IF ] cs 0x33 51 ss 0x2b 43 ds 0x0 0 es 0x0 0 fs 0x0 0 gs 0x0 0 (gdb) This is caused by a couple of function calls within exec_file_locate_attach that can potentially throw errors. The following patch guards both exec_file_attach and symbol_file_add_main to prevent the errors from disrupting the connection process. There was also a case where native GDB tripped on this problem, but it was mostly fixed by bf74e428bca61022bd5cdf6bf28789a184748b4d. Regression-tested on x86-64/Ubuntu. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-04-13 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> * exec.c (exec_file_locate_attach): Guard a couple functions that can throw errors. (exception_print_same): New helper function.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
