[PATCH] Handle vfork in thread with follow-fork-mode child

[PATCH] Handle vfork in thread with follow-fork-mode child

[Tom de Vries]

Hi,

When debugging the test-case vfork-follow-child.c (which does a vfork in a
thread) with follow-fork-mode child set, we run into this assertion:
...
src/gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: \
  void x86_linux_update_debug_registers(lwp_info*): \
  Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed.
...

The assert is caused by the following: the event that the vfork child exits,
is handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, which calls target_detach to
detach from the vfork parent.  During target_detach we call
linux_nat_target::detach, which:
- stops all the threads
- waits for all the threads to be stopped
- detaches all the threads.
However, during the second step we run into this code in stop_wait_callback:
...
  /* If this is a vfork parent, bail out, it is not going to report
     any SIGSTOP until the vfork is done with.  */
  if (inf->vfork_child != NULL)
    return 0;
...
and we don't wait for the threads to be stopped, which resulting in this
assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers triggering during the third step:
...
  gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp));
...

Fix this by resetting the vfork parent's vfork_child field before calling
target_detach in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit.

Tested on x86_64-linux, using native and native-gdbserver.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
- Tom

Typo "avfork_child".

This path is also reached if the vfork child execs, so the reference to
"terminated" above would better be exec.  But also, the other paths in
the function already clear vfork_parent/vfork_child, so I think it's better
to refactor things a bit so that all paths share the code.

I'd rather avoid talking about this deep linux-nat.c implementation detail
here.  There are other target backends, and, linux-nat.c can change as well,
and it'd be easy to leave this comment stale.

vfork children must exit with '_exit', not by returning!

I understand that you probably copied this from elsewhere, but I'd
rather just remove it.  Other ports support follow fork/vfork, and
nobody ever remembers to remove these restrictions in test cases.
That's why typically blacklisting is better than whitelisting.
In any case, I think a new supports_follow_fork procedure or
some such, and then use that in all relevant testcases would be
much better than sprinkling around istarget checks.

We can use prepare_for_testing.

Here it's better to use gdb_test_no_output.  As you have it,
any output, except a crash, would pass.

> +gdb_test "continue" "" "continue"

Here, I understand that you're only caring for not crashing
gdb, but I think it's good practice to make the test's regex
tighter.  That'll will help with better coverage, helping 
future development.

Also, as the name suggests, handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit
handles both execs and exists similarly, but the new testcase
only handled exit.  I've added a new variant of the testcase
for execs as well.

I've also done some minor tweaks to the commit log.

Here's the updated patch.  WDYT?

Subject: [PATCH] [gdb] Handle vfork in thread with follow-fork-mode child

When debugging any of the testcases added by this commit, which do a
vfork in a thread, with follow-fork-mode child set, we run into this
assertion:

...
src/gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: \
  void x86_linux_update_debug_registers(lwp_info*): \
  Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed.
...

The assert is caused by the following: the vfork-child exit or exec
event is handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, which calls
target_detach to detach from the vfork parent.  During target_detach
we call linux_nat_target::detach, which:

#1 - stops all the threads
#2 - waits for all the threads to be stopped
#3 - detaches all the threads

However, during the second step we run into this code in
stop_wait_callback:

...
  /* If this is a vfork parent, bail out, it is not going to report
     any SIGSTOP until the vfork is done with.  */
  if (inf->vfork_child != NULL)
    return 0;
...

and we don't wait for the threads to be stopped, which results in this
assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers triggering during the third
step:

...
  gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp));
...

The fix is to reset the vfork parent's vfork_child field before
calling target_detach in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit.  There's
already similar code for the other paths handled by
handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, so this commit refactors the code a
bit so that all paths share the same code.

The new tests cover both a vfork child exiting, and a vfork child
execing, since both cases would trigger the assertion.

Tested on x86_64-linux, using native and native-gdbserver.

I was checking this and found dereferences of inf->vfork_parent after it
was set to NULL here:
...
      else if (exec)
        {
          ...
          resume_parent = inf->vfork_parent->pid;
...
and here:
...
      else
        {
          ...
          clone_program_space (pspace, inf->vfork_parent->pspace);
...

To confirm, I did another testrun with aborts at the start of the
blocks, and I found no regressions. So, either this is dead code, or we
need test-cases that trigger these paths.

Thanks,
- Tom

Indeed, I noticed this yesterday, fixed it & wrote the extra testing, but
then had to leave for the day.  Here is the updated patch with extra
testing, which involved moving the body of the testcases to a procedure,
and then testing with both "set detach-on-fork" "on" and "off".

WDYT?

Subject: [PATCH] [gdb] Handle vfork in thread with follow-fork-mode child

When debugging any of the testcases added by this commit, which do a
vfork in a thread with "set follow-fork-mode child" + "set
detach-on-fork on", we run into this assertion:

...
src/gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: \
  void x86_linux_update_debug_registers(lwp_info*): \
  Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed.
...

The assert is caused by the following: the vfork-child exit or exec
event is handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, which calls
target_detach to detach from the vfork parent.  During target_detach
we call linux_nat_target::detach, which:

#1 - stops all the threads
#2 - waits for all the threads to be stopped
#3 - detaches all the threads

However, during the second step we run into this code in
stop_wait_callback:

...
  /* If this is a vfork parent, bail out, it is not going to report
     any SIGSTOP until the vfork is done with.  */
  if (inf->vfork_child != NULL)
    return 0;
...

and we don't wait for the threads to be stopped, which results in this
assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers triggering during the third
step:

...
  gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp));
...

The fix is to reset the vfork parent's vfork_child field before
calling target_detach in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit.  There's
already similar code for the other paths handled by
handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, so this commit refactors the code a
bit so that all paths share the same code.

The new tests cover both a vfork child exiting, and a vfork child
execing, since both cases would trigger the assertion.

The new testcases also exercise following the vfork children with "set
detach-on-fork off", since it doesn't seem to be tested anywhere.

Tested on x86_64-linux, using native and native-gdbserver.

I've tested this both with native and native-gdbserver and found no
regressions.

I've also verified that both blocks mentioned above are triggered by the
new test-cases.

LGTM.

Is this assertion fix ok for 8.3.1?

[gdb] Handle vfork in thread with follow-fork-mode child

[ Backport of master commit b73715df01. ]

When debugging any of the testcases added by this commit, which do a
vfork in a thread with "set follow-fork-mode child" + "set
detach-on-fork on", we run into this assertion:

...
src/gdb/nat/x86-linux-dregs.c:146: internal-error: \
  void x86_linux_update_debug_registers(lwp_info*): \
  Assertion `lwp_is_stopped (lwp)' failed.
...

The assert is caused by the following: the vfork-child exit or exec
event is handled by handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, which calls
target_detach to detach from the vfork parent.  During target_detach
we call linux_nat_target::detach, which:

However, during the second step we run into this code in
stop_wait_callback:

...
  /* If this is a vfork parent, bail out, it is not going to report
     any SIGSTOP until the vfork is done with.  */
  if (inf->vfork_child != NULL)
    return 0;
...

and we don't wait for the threads to be stopped, which results in this
assert in x86_linux_update_debug_registers triggering during the third
step:

...
  gdb_assert (lwp_is_stopped (lwp));
...

The fix is to reset the vfork parent's vfork_child field before
calling target_detach in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit.  There's
already similar code for the other paths handled by
handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit, so this commit refactors the code a
bit so that all paths share the same code.

The new tests cover both a vfork child exiting, and a vfork child
execing, since both cases would trigger the assertion.

The new testcases also exercise following the vfork children with "set
detach-on-fork off", since it doesn't seem to be tested anywhere.

Tested on x86_64-linux, using native and native-gdbserver.
