[PATCH 4/8] Test --wrapper when restarting process.

[PATCH 4/8] Test --wrapper when restarting process.

[Yao Qi]

My patch series will affect the code starting inferior in GDBserver
(callees of start_inferior), so we need tests to cover how
start_inferior is used in different cases.

In server.c:process_serial_event, start_inferior is used when
GBDserver receives 'R' packet, and this patch is to add a test
for this path, and see how --wrapper option works when the process
is restarted.

	* gdb.server/ext-wrapper.exp: Test --wrapper option when
	restarting process.

[PATCH 0/8] Fix various issues in --wrapper in GDBserver

[Yao Qi]

The original goal of this patch series is to fix GDBserver bug that
it creates target description too early.  The real fix and details
can be found in patch #7.  Patch #5 and #6 are refactor patch, and
do preparations for patch #7.  Patch #8 is a cleanup patch.

When I fix this target description issue, I see some other problems,
so I fix them together within this patch series.  Patch #1 - #4 are
not strictly related to this target description creation issue.
Patch #1 lets GDBserver to complain when --attach and --wrapper are
used together.  Patch #2 adds a test for --wrapper in extended mode.
Patch #3 adds a test about restarting process, and includes a fix to
a problem exposed by the test.  Patch #4 adds a test for --wrapper
to restart process.  With these tests added, I can make sure my
following changes/patches don't break anything.

The whole series are tested on 86_64-linux both native and gdbserver.
OK for mainline and 7.10 branch?

*** BLURB HERE ***

[PATCH 2/8] Test --wrapper in extended-remote

[Yao Qi]

We didn't test --wrapper option in extended-remote before, this patch
is to add a test case for it.  In order to pass option --wrapper to
gdbserver in extended-remote, I add arg in gdbserver_start_extended,
and its default value is "", so that other places use
gdbserver_start_extended don't have to be updated.

[PATCH 7/8] Initialise target descrption after skipping extra traps for --wrapper

[Yao Qi]

Nowadays, when --wrapper is used, GDBserver skips extra traps/stops
in the wrapper program, and stops at the first instruction of the
program to be debugged.  However, GDBserver created target description
in the first stop of inferior, and the executable of the inferior
is the wrapper program rather than the program to be debugged.  In
this way, the target description can be wrong if the architectures
of wrapper program and program to be debugged are different.  This
is shown by some fails in gdb.server/wrapper.exp on buildbot.

We are testing i686-linux GDB (Fedora-i686) on an x86_64-linux box
(fedora-x86-64-4) in buildbot, such configuration causes fails in
gdb.server/wrapper.exp like this:

spawn /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver --once --wrapper env TEST=1 -- :2346 /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/wrapper/wrapper
Process /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/wrapper/wrapper created; pid = 8795
Can't debug 64-bit process with 32-bit GDBserver
Exiting
target remote localhost:2346
localhost:2346: Connection timed out.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/wrapper.exp: setting breakpoint at marker

See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg01541.html

In this case, program to be debugged ("wrapper") is 32-bit but wrapper
program ("/usr/bin/env") is 64-bit, so GDBserver gets the 64-bit
target description instead of 32-bit.

The root cause of this problem is that GDBserver creates target
description too early, and the rationale of fix could be creating
target description once the GDBserver skips extra traps and inferior
stops at the first instruction of the program we want to debug.  IOW,
when GDBserver skips extra traps, the inferior's tdesc is NULL, and
mywait and its callees shouldn't use inferior's tdesc, so in this
patch, we do the shortcut if proc->tdesc == NULL, see changes in
linux_resume_one_lwp_throw and need_step_over_p.

In linux_low_filter_event, if target description isn't initialised and
GDBserver attached the process, we create target description immediately,
because GDBserver don't have to skip extra traps for attach, IOW, it
makes no sense to use --attach and --wrapper together.  Otherwise, the
process is launched by GDBserver, we keep the status pending, and return.

After GDBserver skipped extra traps in start_inferior, we call a
target_ops hook arch_setup to initialise target description there.

[PATCH 3/8] Set general_thread after restart

[Yao Qi]

When I run gdb.server/ext-restart.exp, I get the following GDB internal
error,

Resyncing due to internal error.

the test is to restart the program, to make sure GDBserver handles
packet 'R' correctly.  From the GDBserver output, we can see,

 Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1^M
 Process /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/ext-restart created; pid = 21445^M

 Process /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.server/ext-restart created; pid = 21446^M
 Killing process(es): 21446

we first start process 21445(0x53c5), kill it and restart a new process
21446.  However, in the gdb output above [1], we can see that the reply
of qC is still the old process id rather than the new one.  Looks
general_thread isn't up to date after GDBserver receives R packet.
This patch is to update general_thread after call start_inferior.

[PATCH 6/8] Set proc->priv->new_inferior out of linux_add_process

[Yao Qi]

Nowadays, we set proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside linux_add_process,
and new_inferior is used as a flag to initialise target description later.
linux_add_process is used for the three cases, fork/vfork event
(handle_extended_wait), run the program (linux_create_inferior), and
attach to the process (linux_attach).  In the first case, the child's
target description is copied from parent's, so we don't need to initialise
target description again later, which means we don't need to set
proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 in this case.  For the rest of two cases,
we need this flag.

This patch move the code setting proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside
linux_add_process to linux_create_inferior and linux_attach.  No
functionality is changed.

gdb/gdbserver:

2015-07-16  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* linux-low.c (linux_add_process): Don't set
	proc->priv->new_inferior.

Really not sure about this.  It's reasonable to do e.g.,
alias gs="gdbserver --wrapper=/whatever/wrapper --"
(or the equivalent wrapper shell script that execs gdbserver)
and then always start that instead of gdbserver:

sometimes:

 $ gs :9999 PROGRAM

othertimes:

 $ gs --attach :9999 $pid

but after the patch, the latter errors out.

Plus, one can combine --attach and --multi, which means
that the wrapper would still apply to processes spawned
after connecting.

Curious.  Kevin's original patch to handle bogus qC replies would
have hidden this bug.

Plus, today I wrote a patch that exposed a bunch of stale
general_thread issues (but not this one).

Funny how sometimes we all end up staring at the same things
at the same time.

I think this should be:

  if (last_status.kind == TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED)
    {
      /* Stopped at the first instruction of the target process.  */
      general_thread = last_ptid;
    }
  else
    {
      /* Something went wrong.  */
      general_thread = null_ptid;
    }

> +# Test running programs using extended-remote.

Comment looks stale.  Looks like I missed pointing out the same
in patch #2.

Otherwise looks good to me.

(I think it's likely we have lots of stale-data bugs on the
gdb side after R, as we don't resync much.  It previously crossed my mind
that immediately after sending R, gdb should refresh all its
remote state anew, like if it had just disconnected and then reconnected.
That is, do most of what remote_start_remote does, except the
connection-specific details (qSupported, etc.)
Hard to justify the effort though -- I don't think I ever worked with
a stub that relies on R.)

Instead of this whole code block, I think we should be able to skip
the bits in the function that require accessing registers.  E.g.,
this:

 /* Cancel actions that rely on GDB not changing the PC (e.g., the
     user used the "jump" command, or "set $pc = foo").  */
  if (lwp->stop_pc != get_pc (lwp))
    {
      /* Collecting 'while-stepping' actions doesn't make sense
	 anymore.  */
      release_while_stepping_state_list (thread);
    }

Could be guarded by:

  if (thread->while_stepping != NULL)

And this:

  if (the_low_target.get_pc != NULL)
    {
      struct regcache *regcache = get_thread_regcache (current_thread, 1);

      lwp->stop_pc = (*the_low_target.get_pc) (regcache);

      if (debug_threads)
	{
	  debug_printf ("  %s from pc 0x%lx\n", step ? "step" : "continue",
			(long) lwp->stop_pc);
	}
    }

could be guarded by:

  if (proc->tdesc == NULL)

Did you try that?

IMO, it makes sense to error out in the latter case, because --wrapper

The point was that before you could just forget about --wrapper,
set it once for your target/environment, having it hidden in the
script|alias-that-wraps-gdbserver.  I see it the same as putting
this in ~/.gdbinit:

 set exec-wrapper /whatever/wrapper

and then doing "$ gdb -p PID", and having GDB complain
about "set exec-wrapper" and "-p" being incompatible.

Even GDB refreshes all its state after sending R packet, we still need
some way to test GDB and GDBserver with R packet used.  Otherwise, it
will be bit-rotten in the future.

GDBserver has already had an option --disable-packet, so that we can
extend it to force GDBserver/GDB use R packet.  However, I don't think
we use --disable-packet much in our testing, at least I don't.  Probably
we can hack native-gdbserver.exp to run tests in a loop and pass
different --disable-packet=FOO to GDBserver in each iteration.

I find these descriptions useful.  Could you instead write something
like:

 "Test restarting programs with the R packet."

?

Sounds like we're talking past each other.
Not sure what I said that made it sounds like that
idea would obviate the need for the test -- I think your new
test is great.

I meant something like gdb itself, around extended_remote_restart, calling
into a new function factored out from remote_start_remote.
This is because the R packet is documented as having no reply, like
'k', no doubt because it assumes the remote target can really hard reset
after the R packet.  But let's forget it; hardly worth it to spend time
on it right now.

To make sure I understand you correctly, is the change below what you suggested?
If yes, I thought about this approach before, but I didn't try that
because I was worried that we should check every piece of code in
linux_resume_one_lwp_throw and its callees that don't access registers
when target description isn't initialised yet.  Especially for
the_low_target.prepare_to_resume, the implementation of this hook should
be aware of that target description may not be available.  Nowadays,
prepare_to_resume is only used to update HW debug registers, and
should be OK because GDBserver shouldn't update HW debug registers
before the inferior stops at the first instruction of the program.
However, in nat/x86-linux.c:lwp_debug_registers_changed, I saw such
comments

  struct arch_lwp_info *info = lwp_arch_private_info (lwp);

  /* NULL means either that this is the main thread still going
     through the shell, or that no watchpoint has been set yet.
     The debug registers are unchanged in either case.  */

I was wondering all the implementations of prepare_to_resume of
different targets should be aware that "thread still going through the
shell"?  I'll test this patch on targets other than x86 (such as arm and
aarch64) and see if it causes fails.

No :)  I have a habit that think about how to test the change before I
start to change.  This leads me there.

Yes, that is a good idea, and you are right that it is hard to justify

Yes, I think they should.  It's what the GDB side used to do already
when that code was x86 gdb only (and hence that shell comment, which
gdbserver doesn't use yet), and then other archs followed suit.
"Going through the shell" is the exact same as going through
the exec wrapper -- we're not interested in debugging the shell,
and it may well have a different bitness/architecture of the target
program we want to debug.

In practice that hook's implementation should want to avoid work if some
flag is not set, to avoid unnecessary ptrace syscalls and thus ends up
not doing anything when going through the shell/exec-wrapper.

Subject: [PATCH] Initialise target descrption after skipping extra traps for --wrapper

Nowadays, when --wrapper is used, GDBserver skips extra traps/stops
in the wrapper program, and stops at the first instruction of the
program to be debugged.  However, GDBserver created target description
in the first stop of inferior, and the executable of the inferior
is the wrapper program rather than the program to be debugged.  In
this way, the target description can be wrong if the architectures
of wrapper program and program to be debugged are different.  This
is shown by some fails in gdb.server/wrapper.exp on buildbot.

We are testing i686-linux GDB (Fedora-i686) on an x86_64-linux box
(fedora-x86-64-4) in buildbot, such configuration causes fails in
gdb.server/wrapper.exp like this:

spawn /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdbserver/gdbserver --once --wrapper env TEST=1 -- :2346 /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/wrapper/wrapper
Process /home/gdb-buildbot-2/fedora-x86-64-4/fedora-i686/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/wrapper/wrapper created; pid = 8795
Can't debug 64-bit process with 32-bit GDBserver
Exiting
target remote localhost:2346
localhost:2346: Connection timed out.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.server/wrapper.exp: setting breakpoint at marker

See https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-testers/2015-q3/msg01541.html

In this case, program to be debugged ("wrapper") is 32-bit but wrapper
program ("/usr/bin/env") is 64-bit, so GDBserver gets the 64-bit
target description instead of 32-bit.

The root cause of this problem is that GDBserver creates target
description too early, and the rationale of fix could be creating
target description once the GDBserver skips extra traps and inferior
stops at the first instruction of the program we want to debug.  IOW,
when GDBserver skips extra traps, the inferior's tdesc is NULL, and
mywait and its callees shouldn't use inferior's tdesc, so in this
patch, we skip code that requires register access, see changes in
linux_resume_one_lwp_throw and need_step_over_p.

In linux_low_filter_event, if target description isn't initialised and
GDBserver attached the process, we create target description immediately,
because GDBserver don't have to skip extra traps for attach, IOW, it
makes no sense to use --attach and --wrapper together.  Otherwise, the
process is launched by GDBserver, we keep the status pending, and return.

After GDBserver skipped extra traps in start_inferior, we call a
target_ops hook arch_setup to initialise target description there.
