* gdb/infrun: disable pagination in fetch_inferior_eventTankut Baris Aktemur2020-10-301-69/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having pagination enabled when handling an inferior event gives the user an option to quit, which causes early exit in GDB's flow and may lead to half-baked state. For instance, here is a case where we quit in the middle of handling an inferior exit: $ gdb ./a.out Reading symbols from ./a.out... (gdb) set height 2 (gdb) run Starting program: ./a.out --Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--q Quit Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) set height unlimited Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 process 27098 Couldn't get registers: No such process. Couldn't get registers: No such process. (gdb) Or suppose having a multi-threaded program like below: static void * fun (void *dummy) { int a = 1; /* break-here */ return NULL; } int main (void) { pthread_t thread; pthread_create (&thread, NULL, fun, NULL); pthread_join (thread, NULL); return 0; } If we define a breakpoint at line "break-here", we expect only Thread 2 to hit it. $ gdb ./a.out Reading symbols from ./a.out... (gdb) break 7 Breakpoint 1 at 0x1182: file mt.c, line 7. (gdb) set height 2 (gdb) run Starting program: ./a.out [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". [New Thread 0x7ffff77c4700 (LWP 23048)] --Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--q Quit (gdb) set height unlimited (gdb) info thread Id Target Id Frame * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7fe3740 (LWP 23044) "a.out" 0x00007ffff7bbed2d in ... 2 Thread 0x7ffff77c4700 (LWP 23048) "a.out" fun (dummy=0x0) at mt.c:7 (gdb) The prompt for continuation was triggered because Thread 2 hit the breakpoint. (If we had hit 'c', we were going to see that stop event, but we didn't.) The context did not switch to Thread 2. GDB also did not execute several other things it would normally do in infrun.c:normal_stop after outputting "[Switching to Thread ...]" (but it seems harmless in this case). If we 'continue' at this state, both threads run until termination, and we don't see the breakpoint hit event ever. Here is another related and more complicated scenario that leads to a GDB crash. Create two inferiors, one sitting on top of a native target, and the other on a remote target, so that we have a multi-target setting, like so: (gdb) i inferiors Num Description Connection Executable 1 process 13786 1 (native) a.out * 2 process 13806 2 (remote ...) target:a.out Next, resume both inferiors to run until termination: (gdb) set schedule-multiple on (gdb) set height 2 (gdb) continue Continuing. --Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--[Inferior 2 (process 13806) exited normally] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error' Aborted Here, GDB first received a termination event from Inferior 1. GDB attempted to print this event, triggering a "prompt for continue", and GDB started polling for events, hoping to get an input from the user. However, the exit event from Inferior 2 was received instead. So, GDB started processing an exit event while being in the middle of processing another exit event. It was not ready for this situation and eventually crashed. To address these cases, temporarily disable pagination in fetch_inferior_event. This doesn't affect commands like 'info threads', 'backtrace', or 'thread apply'. Regression-tested on X86_64 Linux. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-10-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * infrun.c (fetch_inferior_event): Temporarily disable pagination. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2020-10-30 Tankut Baris Aktemur <tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com> * gdb.base/paginate-after-ctrl-c-running.exp: Update with no pagination behavior. * gdb.base/paginate-bg-execution.exp: Ditto. * gdb.base/paginate-inferior-exit.exp: Ditto. * gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.c: Remove. * gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp: Remove.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py script. Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid copyright header (gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc). As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header was sent to gcc-patches first. gdb/ChangeLog: Update copyright year range in all GDB files.

fail, pass, unsupported, untested and also names set with the pattern "set test" and "set testname". gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-12-01 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> Fix test names

The issue that led to the -notransfer trick was that "---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---" has two "<return>"s. If one wants gdb_test_multiple to not hit the built-in "<return>" match that results in FAIL, one has to expect the pagination prompt in chunks, first up to the first "<return>", then again, up to the second. Something around these lines: gdb_test_multiple "" $test { -re "<return>" { exp_continue } -re "to quit ---" { pass $test } } The intent was for -notransfer+exp_continue to make expect fetch more input, and rerun the matches against the now potentially fuller buffer, and then eventually the -re that includes the full pagination prompt regex would match instead (because it's listed higher up, it would match first). But, once that "<return>" -notransfer -re matches, it keeps re-matching forever. It seems like with exp_continue, expect immediately retries matching, instead of first reading in more data into the buffer, if available. Fix this like I should have done in the first place. There's actually no good reason for gdb_test_multiple to only match "<return>". We can make gdb_test_multiple expect the whole pagination prompt text instead, which is store in the 'pagination_prompt' global (similar to 'gdb_prompt'). Then a gdb_test_multiple caller that doesn't want the default match to trigger, because it wants to see one pagination prompt, does simply: gdb_test_multiple "" $test { -re "$pagination_prompt$" { pass $test } } which is just like when we don't want the default $gdb_prompt match within gdb_test_multiple to trigger, like: gdb_test_multiple "" $test { -re "$gdb_prompt $" { pass $test } } Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. In addition, I've let the racy tests run all in parallel in a loop for 30 minutes, and they never failed. gdb/testsuite/ 2014-07-25 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/double-prompt-target-event-error.exp (cancel_pagination_in_target_event): Remove '-notransfer <return>' match.

* Background execution + pagination aborts readline/gdbPedro Alves2014-07-141-0/+127
If pagination occurs as result of output sent as response to a target event while the target is executing in the background, subsequent input aborts readline/gdb: $ gdb program ... (gdb) continue& Continuing. (gdb) ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- *return* ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- Breakpoint 2, after_sleep () at paginate-bg-execution.c:21 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit--- 21 return; /* after sleep */ p 1 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler! *abort/SIGABRT* $ gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is processed. Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that reinstalls the handler. But if the output is coming out of handling a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the handler. So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into readline, which aborts. We should do better with the prompt handling while the target is running (I think we should coordinate with readline, and hide/redisplay it around output), but that's a more invasive change better done post 7.8, so this patch is conservative and just reinstalls the handler as soon as we're out of the readline line callback. gdb/ 2014-07-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/17072 * top.c (gdb_readline_wrapper_line): Tweak comment.
