Bug #: 13869
Summary: Latest gdb 7.4 (CVS HEAD) has problem with "target
async": Cannot get thread event message: debugger
service failed
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: threads
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: tmstaedt@t-mittelstaedt.de
Classification: Unclassified
Just updated via cvs to the latest gdb 7.4 code and - as in a couple of
previous tries - gdb seems to have a problem when I run my custom build of
evolution
in target async mode.
The following is in my .gdbinit:
set target-async 1
set non-stop on
Then I usually run it via gdb -x ../.gdbinit appname.
gdb hangs with the "Cannot get thread event message: debugger service failed"
message. gdb 7.3 has no problems with that.
I run an ubuntu linux, version 9.10 karmic, Linux linux1 2.6.31-23-generic
#75-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:08:39 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux.
Without the above target-async, gdb starts the app okay.

--- Comment #1 from Yao Qi <qiyao at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-05-23 07:29:33 UTC ---
I can reproduce this problem on CVS trunk with existing test case
gdb.thread/manythreads.c
$ ./gdb -ex "set target-async on" -ex "set non-stop on" -ex "run"
./testsuite/gdb.threads/manythreads
...
Thread <255> executing
[Thread 0xb77feb70 (LWP 12986) exited]
[New Thread 0xb77feb70 (LWP 12987)]
Cannot get thread event message: debugger service failed
(gdb) (gdb) quit
Initial analysis shows that this problem is caused by the race condition
between gdb (with libthread_db) and inferior (with libpthreads.so) on accessing
some shared state variables, such as __nptl_last_event. The code in nptl to
access shared state variables is written in a thread-safe way (using some
atomic and compare-and-swap operations), however, GDB doesn't coordinate with
inferior on accessing them. The fix would be `stopping all threads in inferior
when gdb tries to access state variables in thread library in async & non-stop
mode'.
I'll post a patch to @gdb-patches in two or three days.

Any news on this? Two or three days have past :-)

No much progress on it. I had a patch, but it caused some regressions. I
don't have much time recently to look into it. Any one interested in it, feel
free to take this bug over.

I have the same issue debugging Eclipse on Ubuntu 13.10 32 bit with GDB 7.6.1.
