When debugging any of the testcases added by this commit, which do a vfork in a thread with "set follow-fork-mode child" + "set detach-on-fork on", we run into this assertion: ... src/gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: \ void x86_linux_update_debug_registers(lwp_info*): \ Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed. ... The assert is caused by the following: the vfork-child exit or exec event is handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, which calls target_detach to detach from the vfork parent. During target_detach we call linux_nat_target::detach, which: #1 - stops all the threads #2 - waits for all the threads to be stopped #3 - detaches all the threads However, during the second step we run into this code in stop_wait_callback: ... /* If this is a vfork parent, bail out, it is not going to report any SIGSTOP until the vfork is done with. */ if (inf->vfork_child != NULL) return 0; ... and we don't wait for the threads to be stopped, which results in this assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers triggering during the third step: ... gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp)); ... The fix is to reset the vfork parent's vfork_child field before calling target_detach in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit. There's already similar code for the other paths handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, so this commit refactors the code a bit so that all paths share the same code. The new tests cover both a vfork child exiting, and a vfork child execing, since both cases would trigger the assertion. The new testcases also exercise following the vfork children with "set detach-on-fork off", since it doesn't seem to be tested anywhere. Tested on x86_64-linux, using native and native-gdbserver. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-04-18 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/24454 * infrun.c (handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit): Reset vfork parent's vfork_child field before calling target_detach. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-04-18 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/24454 * gdb.threads/vfork-follow-child-exec.c: New file. * gdb.threads/vfork-follow-child-exec.exp: New file. * gdb.threads/vfork-follow-child-exit.c: New file. * gdb.threads/vfork-follow-child-exit.exp: New file.
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.
