GDB's core signal handling suffers from a classical signal handler /
mainline code race:
int
gdb_do_one_event (void)
{
...
/* First let's see if there are any asynchronous signal handlers
that are ready. These would be the result of invoking any of the
signal handlers. */
if (invoke_async_signal_handlers ())
return 1;
...
/* Block waiting for a new event. (...). */
if (gdb_wait_for_event (1) < 0)
return -1;
...
}
If a signal is delivered while gdb is blocked in the poll/select
inside gdb_wait_for_event, then the select/poll breaks with EINTR,
we'll loop back around and call invoke_async_signal_handlers.
However, if the signal handler runs between
invoke_async_signal_handlers and gdb_wait_for_event,
gdb_wait_for_event will block, until the next unrelated event...
The fix is to a struct serial_event, and register it in the set of
files that select/poll in gdb_wait_for_event waits on. The signal
handlers that defer work to invoke_async_signal_handlers call
mark_async_signal_handler, which is adjusted to also set the new
serial event in addition to setting a flag, and is thus now is
garanteed to immediately unblock the next gdb_select/poll call, up
until invoke_async_signal_handlers is called and the event is cleared.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-12 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* event-loop.c: Include "ser-event.h".
(async_signal_handlers_serial_event): New global.
(async_signals_handler, initialize_async_signal_handlers): New
functions.
(mark_async_signal_handler): Set
async_signal_handlers_serial_event.
(invoke_async_signal_handlers): Clear
async_signal_handlers_serial_event.
* event-top.c (async_init_signals): Call
initialize_async_signal_handlers.

README
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.
