--- Comment #1 from Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess at embecosm dot com> ---
Jan,
Thank you for including such clear steps to reproduce, they were very helpful.
I tried following the steps but could not reproduce this issue, however, thanks
to your great instructions I was able to see where I diverge from your
behaviour.
When you start GDB, you report this:
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 1 (Name: Hart 0, RV64) 0x00000012123408b0 in stack_bottom ()
2 Thread 2 (Name: Hart 1, RV64) 0x000000121234089c in stack_bottom ()
(gdb) thread 2
However, when I start GDB, I see this:
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1 Thread 1 (Name: Hart 0, RV64) 0x0000001212340840 in stack_bottom ()
I did try following the rest of your steps using thread 1, but the bug didn't
reproduce.
The fact that I only see a single thread doesn't seem too surprising given that
in my openocd startup I see this:
Warn : `-rtos riscv` is deprecated and will be removed at the end of 2020!
Please
Warn : change your configuration to use `-rtos hwthread` instead. To do that,
you
Warn : will have to explicitly list every hart in the system as a separate
target. See
Warn :
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-tests/blob/ec6537fc4a527ca88be2f045e01c460e640ab9c5/debug/targets/SiFive/HiFiveUnleashed.cfg#L11
Warn : for an example.
And:
Info : Examined RISC-V core; found 1 harts
Info : hart 0: XLEN=64, misa=0x8000000000141129
Could you confirm the exact git SHA you are using for spike and openocd please.
Or any other suggestions for what might be different between our environments?

--- Comment #2 from Jan Matyas <jmatyas at codasip dot com> ---
Hello Andrew,
thank you for taking the time to look at this.
I have re-run the scenario in question against the very latest spike and
openocd, and can confirm the assertion still gets triggered.
These are the revisions of Spike and RISC-V OpenOCD I have used. Both should be
the latest "trunk" code as of now:
riscv-openocd:
1ba1b8784 (HEAD -> riscv, origin/riscv, origin/HEAD) Fix build outside of a git
repo. (#551)
riscv-isa-sim:
641d7d0 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Merge pull request #588
from kito-cheng/master
Riscv-gcc and riscv-gdb I have taken from this fresh build by Embecosm:
https://buildbot.embecosm.com/job/riscv32-gcc-ubuntu1804/25/
The OpenOCD deprecation warning about "-rtos riscv" shows in my setup, too, and
I believe it is of no consequence for this issue.
However, our results differ in the number of harts discovered by OpenOCD:
Your output:
Info : Examined RISC-V core; found 1 harts
Info : hart 0: XLEN=64, misa=0x8000000000141129
My results:
Info : Examined RISC-V core; found 2 harts
Info : hart 0: currently disabled
Info : hart 1: XLEN=64, misa=0x8000000000141129
Could it be that your spike is configured differently - with just a single
hart?
For reference, I am attaching "20201108-102839-spike64_2-PrivChange.log" which
shows logs from GDB, OpenOCD and Spike. Note that the exact GDB command
sequence may be slightly different from the original scenario, but showing the
same issue.
I'd be happy to provide further data on the issue, if needed.
Regards,
Jan

Hi Andrew
Have you please had a chance to figure a fix for this assertion? Is there
anything I can help with, e.g. re-running the scenario with a patched GDB?
Thank you.
Wishing a good year 2021,
Jan

gdb: better handling of 'S' packets
This commit builds on work started in the following two commits:
commit 24ed6739b699f329c2c45aedee5f8c7d2f54e493
Date: Thu Jan 30 14:35:40 2020 +0000
gdb/remote: Restore support for 'S' stop reply packet
commit cada5fc921e39a1945c422eea055c8b326d8d353
Date: Wed Mar 11 12:30:13 2020 +0000
gdb: Handle W and X remote packets without giving a warning
This is related to how GDB handles remote targets that send back 'S'
packets.
In the first of the above commits we fixed GDB's ability to handle a
single process, single threaded target that sends back 'S' packets.
Although the 'T' packet would always be preferred to 'S' these days,
there's nothing really wrong with 'S' for this situation.
The second commit above fixed an oversight in the first commit, a
single-process, multi-threaded target can send back a process wide
event, for example the process exited event 'W' without including a
process-id, this also is fine as there is no ambiguity in this case.
In PR gdb/26819 we run into yet another problem with the above
commits. In this case we have a single process with two threads, GDB
hits a breakpoint in thread 2 and then performs a stepi:
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1212340830: file infinite_loop.S, line 10.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Thread 2 hit Breakpoint 1, main () at infinite_loop.S:10
10 in infinite_loop.S
(gdb) set debug remote 1
(gdb) stepi
Sending packet: $vCont;s:2#24...Packet received: S05
../binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:5807: internal-error: int
finish_step_over(execution_control_state*): Assertion
`ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected' failed.
What happens in this case is that on the RISC-V target displaced
stepping is not supported, so when the stepi is issued GDB steps just
thread 2. As only a single thread was set running the target decides
that is can get away with sending back an 'S' packet without a
thread-id. GDB then associates the stop with thread 1 (the first
non-exited thread), but as thread 1 was not previously set executing
the assertion seen above triggers.
As an aside I am surprised that the target sends pack 'S' in this
situation. The target is happy to send back 'T' (including thread-id)
when multiple threads are set running, so (to me) it would seem easier
to just always use the 'T' packet when multiple threads are in use.
However, the target only uses 'T' when multiple threads are actually
executing, otherwise an 'S' packet it used.
Still, when looking at the above situation we can see that GDB should
be able to understand which thread the 'S' reply is referring too.
The problem is that is that in commit 24ed6739b699 (above) when a stop
reply comes in with no thread-id we look for the first non-exited
thread and select that as the thread the stop applies too.
What we should really do is select the first non-exited, resumed thread,
and associate the stop event with this thread. In the above example
both thread 1 and 2 are non-exited, but only thread 2 is resumed, so
this is what we should use.
There's a test for this issue included which works with stock
gdbserver by disabling use of the 'T' packet, and enabling
'scheduler-locking' within GDB so only one thread is set running.

Thank you for all your work towards fixing this, greatly appreciated.
I haven't yet managed to re-test the original scenarios. But it is on my TODO
list and I will be happy to inform you about the outcome here, once I find a
moment to do so.
Best regards,
Jan

--- Comment #13 from Jan Matyas <jmatyas at codasip dot com> ---
Hello,
I have finally managed to re-test the updated code. I am sorry to report back
that the issue appears not yet fully resolved. Re-running the GDB test
scenarios in which this issue was originally encountered (that is:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-tests/tree/master/debug) now triggers a
different assert.
(1)
In many of the above test scenarios, it is the following assert that gets
triggered immediately after connecting GDB to the remote server, i.e. OpenOCD.
OpenOCD is at that point already connected to the underlying target, which is
the Spike RISC-V ISA simulator:
(gdb) target extended-remote localhost:44553
Remote debugging using localhost:44553
warning: No executable has been specified and target does not support
determining executable automatically. Try using the "file" command.
../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/remote.c:7820: internal-error: ptid_t
remote_target::select_thread_for_ambiguous_stop_reply(const
target_waitstatus*): Assertion `first_resumed_thread != nullptr' failed.
A full log from one such test run is attached -
20210116-101128-spike32-CheckMisa.log. It shows the steps to reproduce the
issue - most importantly the cmdline arguments to start Spike and OpenOCD.
(2)
There was one test run in which the original assert was encountered:
../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/infrun.c:5614: internal-error: int
finish_step_over(execution_control_state*): Assertion
`ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected' failed.
It is recorded in file: 20210116-101308-spike32_2-ProgramSwWatchpoint.log
The revisions of Spike ISA sim, OpenOCD and gdb-binutils that I used were in
all cases the latest HEADs as of now:
- binutils-gdb: 68b007788a (Fri Jan 15 18:07:07 2021 -0800)
- Spike: 35d50bc (Thu Jan 14 09:43:04 2021 -0800)
- OpenOCD: ed37337b0
Please let me know if any further information is needed for reproduction or if
you'd like me to re-test any other scenario.
Best regards,
Jan

Ok, it hits an assertion added in the fix.
Having the logs you attached, but with "set debug remote 1" enabled _before_
you connect, would be useful.

--- Comment #20 from Simon Marchi <simark at simark dot ca> ---
I tried connecting to simavr (since I've used that in the past and it's really
easy) and hit the same assert:
I think the reason is that the target reports no threads at all. So the sole
implicit thread is added by "add_current_inferior_and_thread" path in
"remote_target::start_remote".
With GDBserver, even when disabling fetching threads with qXfer:threads:read,
GDB still fetches them with qfThreadInfo. So the thread is added by
remote_notice_new_inferior called by update_thread_list. In there, the
thread's remote resume state is set to "resumed", and them becomes "not
resumed" when we process the stop reply.
When the remote stub doesn't return threads with qxfer/qfThreadInfo/qL, GDB
adds one using add_current_inferior_and_thread, because we need one thread
object in GDB after all. In that path, the thread's remote resume state is
left to the initial "not resumed" value. So it is not considered when we look
for a thread for the ambiguous stop reply.
The patch below should fix it.
Note that we can extend the gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp test case to
cover this, by disabling some more gdbserver features:
../gdbserver/gdbserver --disable-packet=T --disable-packet=qfThreadInfo --once
:1234 /bin/ls
../gdbserver/gdbserver --disable-packet=threads --once :1234 /bin/ls
With both of these, this hits the assert:
./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory /bin/ls -ex "set remote
multiprocess-feature-packet off" -ex "set remote threads-packet off" -ex "tar
rem :1234"

Without further exploration of the patch, I have used it and rebuilt GDB. Then
I have re-run the RISC-V debug test suite (mentioned earlier).
The patch works fine - I am no longer getting any assertions.
Thank you,
Jan

This patch fixes also the issue while connecting to a nios2-gdb-server:
../../sourceware-mirror-binutils-gdb-edf0f28/gdb/remote.c:7820: internal-error:
ptid_t remote_target::select_thread_for_ambiguous_stop_reply(const
target_waitstatus*): Assertion `first_resumed_thread != nullptr' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

You can if you'd like. The steps missing are:
- Write a good commit message that explains why things fail currently and why
the patch fixes them (including a ChangeLog entry)
- Enhance the test (gdb.server/stop-reply-no-thread.exp I think) so it covers
the two scenarios I mentioned ("--disable-packet=T
--disable-packet=qfThreadInfo" and "--disable-packet=threads")
- Send the patch to the mailing list for review.

Hi Simon,
I have rebased your patch from Jan-17 and enhanced the test case as suggested.
Please, check if that is all right.
As my knowledge of gdb code is low, I'd appreciate if you could write the
commit message as the author of the patch (and submit it to the mailing list).
Thank you, regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,
(off list)
I just went into paternity leave, so I will probably won't be able to take a
look before a few weeks. If you want to submit the patch for merging and get a
review, please send it to the gdb-patches list as described here.
https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist
Thanks,
Simon

Oh well apparently if you reply to the email it goes to Bugzilla even though it
looked like Jan's email address. That's what I get for trying to answer on my

Hi Simon,
Thank you for pointing out that git-send-email should be used, I missed that
part in the ContributionChecklist.
I have re-submitted the patch that way:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2021-February/176569.html
Now I realize I missed the version 2 marker (v2) in the subject this time. If
that should be added, shall I re-submit it one more time?
Jan

--- Comment #36 from Jan Matyas <jmatyas at codasip dot com> ---
Hello,
I am sorry to re-open this, but I have come across one more scenario where the
initial assertion gets triggered:
../../gdb/infrun.c:5672: internal-error: int
finish_step_over(execution_control_state*): Assertion
`ecs->event_thread->control.trap_expected' failed.
The assertion appears when software watchpoints are used on a riscv32 bare
metal extended-remote target with two threads.
The target is represented by Spike RISC-V ISA simulator and the remote server
is OpenOCD, i.e. the same as already discussed in this ticket.
The test scenario is a simple program in which a SW watchpoint on "counter ==
5" is used:
int main()
{
int sum = 0;
int counter = 0;
while (counter < 10) {
counter = counter + 1;
sum = sum + counter;
}
return counter;
}
Then "c" (continue) command is issued three times. The assertion is triggered
after the third "c", which I guess is somehow related to the watchpoint
expression going out of scope.
The assertion only appears on software watchpoints, and when the second thread
is the selected one ("thread 2").
I am attaching the logs:
- gdb-26819-thread2.txt - brief log, showing the sequence of the commands
- gdb-26819-thread2-verbose.txt - verbose log with debug prints for "infrun"
and "remote
When "thread 1" is selected, the assertion does not appear. However the log
shows that in such case "thread 2" is not being single-stepped after the target
gets resumed ("c"). Only thread 1 is stepped. Could this be another issue or is
it expected behavior?
The log for this second case is in: gdb-26819-thread1-verbose.txt
The steps to reproduce (building OpenOCD, Spike, compiling the demo program
...) are also attached and should be hopefully easy to follow.
I have tried this SW watchpoint scenario on a native machine (x86_64) with
gdbserver, where it would be easier to reproduce, but I couldn't get it to
fail.
Please let me know if I can provide any further info.
Regards,
Jan

--- Comment #38 from Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess at embecosm dot com> ---
I took a look at this issue and I can reproduce the failure.
First, an interesting aside: I originally tried to reproduce this issue on a
GDB built with --enable-targets=all, and couldn't reproduce the failure. But,
when I built a GDB with --target=riscv-elf I was able to reproduce the issue
just fine.
The problem turns out to be that by default the all-targets GDB would default
to osabi GNU/Linux, while the riscv-elf GDB does not include Linux support, so
defaults to osabi 'none'. If I use the all-targets GDB and explicitly do 'set
osabi none' then I can reproduce the failure with all-targets GDB.
The difference is that GNU/Linux RISC-V doesn't support single stepping, so,
when using that osabi we will make use of software single-step. The bare-metal
'none' osabi assumes that single step support is available.
So, why is this test failing when using single stepping?
It is my belief that the problem here is a bug in the multi-core support of
openocd.
My first clue is the following sequence of vCont and stop replies sent between
GDB and openocd:
Sending packet: $vCont?#49
Packet received: vCont;c;C;s;S
Sending packet: $vCont;c#a8
Packet received: T05thread:2;
Sending packet: $vCont;s:2#24
Packet received: T05
Sending packet: $vCont;s:2;c#c2
Packet received: T05
Sending packet: $vCont;s:1;c#c1
Packet received: T05thread:2;
Notice that after the first 'vCont;c' we get back 'T05thread:2' clearly
indicating which thread stopped.
Next GDB sends 'vCont;s:2', so steps only the single thread '2', now we get
back 'T05'. This is annoying (no thread-id), but the original patches for this
issue addressed this, as only one thread was set running GDB correctly
"guesses" the thread and carries on.
After that GDB sends 'vCont;s:2;c', now we're single stepping thread 2, but
allowing thread 1 to continue. Again the reply comes back 'T05'. This time
GDB guesses thread 1 as the stopped thread, and things start to go off the
rails.
Notice however, that in the next packet GDB sends 'vCont;s:1;c', which is kind
of the reverse, step thread 1, continue thread 2, but now we get a reply
'T05thread:2' which includes a thread-id. Weird!
The summary of the above then is that sometimes openocd does not return a
thread-id even when multiple threads are running.
I looked a little into openocd, specifically I looked at the function
gdb_signal_reply in server/gdb_server.c. This function is passed a 'struct
target *target'. Whether we send a thread-id back or not depends on whether
the 'target->rtos' field is set or not.
Now, if I debug this function I see two different target pointers passed in at
different times, one target represents "riscv.cpu0", this target has its rtos
field set, the other target represents "riscv.cpu1", this target does not have
its rtos field set.
Now, I don't know the openocd internals, but what seems to happen is that
sometimes the target stops, and gdb_signal_reply is called with "riscv.cpu0"
target, but because target->rtos is set the stop is reported against
target->rtos->current_thread, which can be thread 2.
Then, sometimes, the target stops with "riscv.cpu1", in this case openocd just
makes no attempt to add a thread-id as target->rtos is NULL.
So, where does this leave us?
The above explains why GDB starts getting confused, but doesn't fully explain
why we eventually hit the assert. I'm still looking into the details of that,
but wanted to record what I knew so far.
GDB _could_ possibly be slightly smarter when it guesses, as in if we send
'vCont;s:2;c', then maybe we should guess that thread-2 is the likely thread to
have stopped, as most of the time thread-2 single stepping will complete before
thread-1 hits anything interesting.... most of the time.
But this really feels like working around a broken target.

--- Comment #39 from Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess at embecosm dot com> ---
At the point where we run into the assertion the vCont/stop-reply packets look
like:
...
Sending packet: $vCont;s:2;c#c2
Packet received: T05
Sending packet: $vCont;s:1;c#c1
Packet received: T05thread:2;
Sending packet: $vCont;s:2;c#c2
Packet received: T05
Sending packet: $vCont;s:1;c#c1
Packet received: T05thread:2;
Sending packet: $vCont;s:2;c#c2
Packet received: T05
Sending packet: $vCont;s:1#23
Packet received: T05thread:2
Notice all of the 'vCont;s:2;c' packets get a 'T05' reply. In each of these
cases it is almost certain that thread-2 was the one that stopped (after the
single step), but in each case GDB will have guessed thread-1.
But things really go wrong when with the last packet we send 'vCont;s:1', but
get back the reply 'T05thread:2' - a thread that shouldn't be running reports a
stop!

--- Comment #40 from Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess at embecosm dot com> ---
Final comment for the night. I now have this test passing reliably, I changed
the file spike-2-hwthread.cfg (this is one of the files that the steps to
reproduce document has us download), this is the openocd config file. Within
this file are two lines like this:
target create $_TARGETNAME_0 riscv -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.cpu -rtos
hwthread
target create $_TARGETNAME_1 riscv -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.cpu -coreid 1
I changed these lines to be this:
target create $_TARGETNAME_0 riscv -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.cpu -rtos
hwthread -coreid 0
target create $_TARGETNAME_1 riscv -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.cpu -rtos
hwthread -coreid 1
And now the test passes just fine.
As I've said in previous comments, I'm no openocd expert, I added the extra
'-rtos hwthread' for the second core as it is the presence of this rtos setting
that is causing openocd to send back the thread-id. Maybe there's more going
on here and adding this flag is bad for some reason? I added the '-coreid 0'
to the first core just for symmetry, I suspect 0 is the default.
Unless there's new evidence that comes up, I'm pretty convinced that the issue
here was either openocd has a bug, or openocd was misconfigured, however, I
think there is an open issue for whether GDB could/should have handled this
situation better?
I think that the packets coming from the remote should be considered user
input, and as such, we should not rely on them being "correct". As such, when
invalid packets arrive GDB should be throwing an error, not quitting with an
assertion failure.
I'm not really sure where we should be catching this particular error, or what
we should do. I doubt we can reasonably expect to recover, I think the target
has shown itself to be unreliable in this case (reporting a stop against a
thread that should not be running)...

--- Comment #41 from Joel Brobecker <brobecker at gnat dot com> ---
Thanks very much for the analysis, Andrew.
I agree with you that OpenOCD seems to be behavior very strangely (to say the
least). It would be nice indeed to improve the situation, but I agree again
that it's not clear where and under what condition we could decide to throw the
towel. What I'm concerned about is users starting to get some errors in
borderline scenarios that have been working OK thanks to the current
heuristics. If we change that, we could negatively affect them. Maybe raise an
error when we're getting a stop from a thread that wasn't supposed to run at
all, like you highlighted?
In any case, I agree also that this is not blocking for the release anymore, so
I'm removing the 11.1 target milestone.

Gentlemen, thank you for looking at this. If the finger is pointing at OpenOCD,
I'd be happy to take a closer look at that and eventually provide an OpenOCD
fix, if possible.

--- Comment #43 from Andrew Burgess <andrew.burgess at embecosm dot com> ---
Jan,
My guess for what is happening is this (and it is just a guess):
- GDB sets all threads running, maybe does a step for one thread
and continue for all the others, or maybe it really does continue
all threads, I doubt it matters.
- One thread (lets call it thread 1) stops for a legitimate
reason (e.g. breakpoint).
- As we are in all stop mode, openocd then tries to stop the remaining
threads, but
- Before the other thread(s) can be stopped one of them (lets call this
thread 2) stops for some other legitimate reason (e.g. breakpoint).
- OpenOCD reports the first stop (from thread 1) to GDB,
- GDB decides to single step forward just that one thread (thread 1),
and so sends a vCont;s:2 to the remote, but
- OpenOCD spots that it has a pending stop for thread 2, and so sends
that stop back to GDB.
It also seems weird that OpenOCD can have multiple threads in existence, but
gates its use of sending back the 'thread-id' in a stop packet on whether the
thread has rtos data attached. I don't know OpenOCD internals, but it feels
like, if OpenOCD has multiple target objects in existence then it should always
be sending back a thread-id. To be honest, it's really not going to hurt if
OpenOCD _always_ sent back a thread-id, even if there is only 1 thread - much
better that than the current situation where sometimes there is no thread-id at
all.
Joel,
I started looking at whether we can spot an invalid stop packet coming in, I
think I have a plan, I'll post something to the list once I have a patch.
