testsuite: tcl exec& -> 'kill -9 $pid' is racy (attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp races and others)
The buildbots show that attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp is racy.
But after staring at debug logs and playing with SystemTap scripts for
a (long) while, I figured out that neither GDB, nor the kernel nor the
test's program itself are at fault.
The problem is simply that the testsuite machinery is currently
subject to PID-reuse races. The attach-many-short-lived-threads.c
test program just happens to be much more susceptible to trigger this
race because threads and processes share the same number space on
Linux, and the test spawns many many short lived threads in
succession, thus enlarging the race window a lot.
Part of the problem is that several tests spawn processes with "exec&"
(in order to test the "attach" command) , and then at the end of the
test, to make sure things are cleaned up, issue a 'remote_spawn "kill
-p $testpid"'. Since with tcl's "exec&", tcl itself is responsible
for reaping the process's exit status, when we go kill the process,
testpid may have already exited _and_ its status may have (and often
has) been reaped already. Thus it can happen that another process
meanwhile reuses $testpid, and that "kill" command kills the wrong
process... Frequently, that happens to be
attach-many-short-lived-thread, but this explains other test's races
as well.
In the attach-many-short-lived-threads test, it sometimes manifests
like this:
(gdb) file /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads
Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads...done.

(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: set breakpoint always-inserted on
Other times the process dies while the test is ongoing (the process is
ptrace-stopped):
(gdb) print again = 1
Cannot access memory at address 0x6020cc
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: reset timer in the inferior
(Recall that on Linux, SIGKILL is not interceptable)
And other times it dies just while we're detaching:
$4 = 319
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: print seconds_left
detach
Can't detach Thread 0x7fb13b7de700 (LWP 1842): No such process
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: detach
GDB mishandles the latter (it should ignore ESRCH while detaching just
like when continuing), but that's another story.
The fix here is to change spawn_wait_for_attach to use Expect's
'spawn' command instead of Tcl's 'exec&' to spawn programs, because
with spawn we control when to wait for/reap the process. That allows
killing the process by PID without being subject to pid-reuse races,
because even if the process is already dead, the kernel won't reuse
the process's PID until the zombie is reaped.
The other part of the problem lies in DejaGnu itself, unfortunately.
I have occasionally seen tests (attach-many-short-lived-threads
included, but not only that one) die with a random inexplicable
SIGTERM too, and that too is caused by the same reason, except that in
that case, the rogue SIGTERM is sent from this bit in DejaGnu's remote.exp:
exec sh -c "exec > /dev/null 2>&1 && (kill -2 $pgid || kill -2 $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill $pgid || kill $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill -9 $pgid || kill -9 $pid) &"
...
catch "wait -i $shell_id"
Even if the program exits promptly, that whole cascade of kills
carries on in the background, thus potentially killing the poor
process that manages to reuse $pid...
I sent a fix for that to the DejaGnu list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00000.html
With both patches in place, I haven't seen
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp fail again.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, gdbserver and extended-gdbserver.

enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.
However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async". Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.
So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends. Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.
Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.
Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async. This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.
Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter. The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets. This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.
I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything. It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.
Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests. MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

testsuite: tcl exec& -> 'kill -9 $pid' is racy (attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp races and others)
The buildbots show that attach-many-short-lived-thread.exp is racy.
But after staring at debug logs and playing with SystemTap scripts for
a (long) while, I figured out that neither GDB, nor the kernel nor the
test's program itself are at fault.
The problem is simply that the testsuite machinery is currently
subject to PID-reuse races. The attach-many-short-lived-threads.c
test program just happens to be much more susceptible to trigger this
race because threads and processes share the same number space on
Linux, and the test spawns many many short lived threads in
succession, thus enlarging the race window a lot.
Part of the problem is that several tests spawn processes with "exec&"
(in order to test the "attach" command) , and then at the end of the
test, to make sure things are cleaned up, issue a 'remote_spawn "kill
-p $testpid"'. Since with tcl's "exec&", tcl itself is responsible
for reaping the process's exit status, when we go kill the process,
testpid may have already exited _and_ its status may have (and often
has) been reaped already. Thus it can happen that another process
meanwhile reuses $testpid, and that "kill" command kills the wrong
process... Frequently, that happens to be
attach-many-short-lived-thread, but this explains other test's races
as well.
In the attach-many-short-lived-threads test, it sometimes manifests
like this:
(gdb) file /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads
Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads...done.

Other times the process dies while the test is ongoing (the process is
ptrace-stopped):

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: reset timer in the inferior

And other times it dies just while we're detaching:
$4 = 319
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: print seconds_left
detach
Can't detach Thread 0x7fb13b7de700 (LWP 1842): No such process
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 2: detach
GDB mishandles the latter (it should ignore ESRCH while detaching just
like when continuing), but that's another story.
The fix here is to change spawn_wait_for_attach to use Expect's
'spawn' command instead of Tcl's 'exec&' to spawn programs, because
with spawn we control when to wait for/reap the process. That allows
killing the process by PID without being subject to pid-reuse races,
because even if the process is already dead, the kernel won't reuse
the process's PID until the zombie is reaped.
The other part of the problem lies in DejaGnu itself, unfortunately.
I have occasionally seen tests (attach-many-short-lived-threads
included, but not only that one) die with a random inexplicable
SIGTERM too, and that too is caused by the same reason, except that in
that case, the rogue SIGTERM is sent from this bit in DejaGnu's remote.exp:
exec sh -c "exec > /dev/null 2>&1 && (kill -2 $pgid || kill -2 $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill $pgid || kill $pid) && sleep 5 && (kill -9 $pgid || kill -9 $pid) &"
...
catch "wait -i $shell_id"
Even if the program exits promptly, that whole cascade of kills
carries on in the background, thus potentially killing the poor
process that manages to reuse $pid...
I sent a fix for that to the DejaGnu list:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/dejagnu/2015-07/msg00000.html
With both patches in place, I haven't seen
attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp fail again.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, gdbserver and extended-gdbserver.
