With current master, on a Fedora 27 machine with a kernel with buggy
watchpoint support, I see:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: hardware breakpoints work
continue
Continuing.
warning: Remote failure reply: E01
Remote communication error. Target disconnected.: Connection reset by peer.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: watchpoints work
continue
The program is not being run.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: breakpoint after the first fork (the program is no longer running)
The FAILs themselves aren't what's interesting here. What is
interesting is that with the main multi-target patch applied, I was getting this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: hardware breakpoints work
continue
Continuing.
warning: Remote failure reply: E01
/home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/binutils-gdb-2/build/../src/gdb/inferior.c:285: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(process_stratum_target*, int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/watchpoint-fork.exp: parent: singlethreaded: watchpoints work (GDB internal error)
The problem is that in remote_target::wait_as, we're hitting this:
switch (buf[0])
{
case 'E': /* Error of some sort. */
/* We're out of sync with the target now. Did it continue or
not? Not is more likely, so report a stop. */
rs->waiting_for_stop_reply = 0;
warning (_("Remote failure reply: %s"), buf);
status->kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED;
status->value.sig = GDB_SIGNAL_0;
break;
which leaves event_ptid as null_ptid. At the end of the function, we then reach:
else if (status->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED
&& status->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED)
{
if (event_ptid != null_ptid)
record_currthread (rs, event_ptid);
else
event_ptid = inferior_ptid; <<<<< here
}
and the trouble is that with the multi-target patch, we'll get here
with inferior_ptid as null_ptid too. That is done exactly to find
these implicit assumptions that inferior_ptid is a good choice for
default thread, which isn't generaly true.
I first thought of fixing this in the "case 'E'" path, but, given that
this "event_ptid = inferior_ptid" path is also taken when the remote
target does not support threads at all, no thread-related packets or
extensions, it's better to fix it in latter path, to handle all
scenarios that miss reporting a thread.
That's what this patch does.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2020-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* remote.c (first_remote_resumed_thread): New.
(remote_target::wait_as): Use it as default event_ptid instead of
inferior_ptid.
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.
