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) 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.

Multi-arch related tests under gdb.multi are to compile programs with
the same compiler but different compiler options (-m64 vs -m32). However,
different compilers are needed to compile both aarch64 program and
arm (aarch32) program. This patch is to adjust these test cases to
compile programs in different modes with different compiler.
When we use gcc for arm-linux target, its file name can be different,
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc, or arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc,
so I add a variable ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET, so that user can set the name
of gcc for arm-linux target on aarch64, like:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc multi-arch.exp'

We already skip "attach" tests if the target board is remote, in
dejagnu's sense, as we use TCL's exec to spawn the program on the
build machine. We should also skip these tests if testing with
"target remote" or other stub-like targets where "attach" doesn't make
sense.
Add a helper procedure that centralizes the checks a test that needs
to spawn a program for testing "attach" and make all test files that
use spawn_wait_for_attach check it.

* gdb.python/py-prompt.exp: Use can_spawn_for_attach before the
tests that need to attach, instead of checking whether the target
board is remote at the top of the file.
Several places in the testsuite have a copy of a snippet of code that
spawns a test program, waits a bit, and then does some PID munging for
Cygwin. This is in order to have GDB attach to the spawned program.
This refactors all that to a common procedure.
(multi-attach.exp wants to spawn multiple processes, so this makes the
new procedure's interface work with lists.)
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

This patch is to add ptid into dummy_frame and extend frame_id to
dummy_frame_id (which has a ptid field). With this change, GDB uses
dummy_frame_id (thread ptid and frame_id) to find the dummy frames.
Currently, dummy frames are looked up by frame_id, which isn't
accurate in non-stop or multi-process mode. The test case
gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp shows the problem and this patch can
fix it.
Test dummy-frame-restore.exp makes two inferiors stop at
different functions, say, inferior 1 stops at f1 while inferior 2
stops at f2. Set a breakpoint to a function, do the inferior call
in two inferiors, and GDB has two dummy frames of the same frame_id.
When the inferior call is finished, GDB will look up a dummy frame
from its stack/list and restore the inferior's regcache. Two
inferiors are finished in different orders, the inferiors' states are
restored differently, which is wrong. Running dummy-frame-restore.exp
under un-patched GDB, we'll get two fails:
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 2
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 1
With this patch applied, GDB will choose the correct dummy_frame to
restore for a given inferior, because ptid is considered when looking up
dummy frames. Two fails above are fixed.
Regression tested on x86_64-linux, both native and gdbserver.

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.

On Linux, we need to explicitly ptrace attach to all lwps of a
process. Because GDB might not be connected yet when an attach is
requested, and thus it may not be possible to activate thread_db, as
that requires access to symbols (IOW, gdbserver --attach), a while ago
we make linux_attach loop over the lwps as listed by /proc/PID/task to
find the lwps to attach to.
linux_attach_lwp_1 has:
...
if (initial)
/* If lwp is the tgid, we handle adding existing threads later.
Otherwise we just add lwp without bothering about any other
threads. */
ptid = ptid_build (lwpid, lwpid, 0);
else
{
/* Note that extracting the pid from the current inferior is
safe, since we're always called in the context of the same
process as this new thread. */
int pid = pid_of (current_inferior);
ptid = ptid_build (pid, lwpid, 0);
}
That "safe" comment referred to linux_attach_lwp being called by
thread-db.c. But this was clearly missed when a new call to
linux_attach_lwp_1 was added to linux_attach. As a result,
current_inferior will be set to some random process, and non-initial
lwps of the second inferior get assigned the pid of the wrong
inferior. E.g., in the case of attaching to two inferiors, for the
second inferior (and so on), non-initial lwps of the second inferior
get assigned the pid of the first inferior. This doesn't trigger on
the first inferior, when current_inferior is NULL, add_thread switches
the current inferior to the newly added thread.
Rather than making linux_attach switch current_inferior temporarily
(thus avoiding further reliance on global state), or making
linux_attach_lwp_1 get the tgid from /proc, which add extra syscalls,
and will be wrong in case of the user having originally attached
directly to a non-tgid lwp, and then that lwp spawning new clones (the
ptid.pid field of further new clones should be the same as the
original lwp's pid, which is not the tgid), we note that callers of
linux_attach_lwp/linux_attach_lwp_1 always have the right pid handy
already, so they can pass it down along with the lwpid.
The only other reason for the "initial" parameter is to error out
instead of warn in case of attach failure, when we're first attaching
to a process. There are only three callers of
linux_attach_lwp/linux_attach_lwp_1, and each wants to print a
different warn/error string, so we can just move the error/warn out of
linux_attach_lwp_1 to the callers, thus getting rid of the "initial"
parameter.
There really nothing gdbserver-specific about attaching to two
threaded processes, so this adds a new test under gdb.multi/. The
test passes cleanly against the native GNU/Linux target, but
fails/triggers the bug against GDBserver (before the patch), with the
native-extended-remote board (as plain remote doesn't support
multi-process).
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, with the native-extended-gdbserver board.
