Bug ID: 28565
Summary: gdb BPF support . gdb crashes after step/run/continue
Product: gdb
Version: HEAD
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
Component: gdb
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: evanovan at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
using "GNU gdb (GDB) 12.0.50.20211108-git"
(gdb) show configuration
This GDB was configured as follows:
configure --host=bpf --target=bpf
--with-auto-load-dir=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
--with-auto-load-safe-path=$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load
--with-expat
--with-gdb-datadir=/usr/local/share/gdb (relocatable)
--with-jit-reader-dir=/usr/local/lib/gdb (relocatable)
--without-libunwind-ia64
--without-lzma
--without-babeltrace
--without-intel-pt
--with-mpfr
--without-xxhash
--with-python=/usr
--with-python-libdir=/usr/lib
--without-debuginfod
--without-guile
--disable-source-highlight
--with-separate-debug-dir=/usr/local/lib/debug (relocatable)
("Relocatable" means the directory can be moved with the GDB installation
tree, and GDB will still find it.)
Testing bpf debug support using simulator ( simple hellow world that call an
empty function and return back ) . I didn't see any resource or tutorial or
requirements so I ran with what I had.
What are the requirements to debug BPF code as far as gdb / clang / llvm / gcc
versions ? and what is the coverage/support available at the moment ?
I tried and these are the results.
getting latest GDB :
$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
$ cd binutils-gdb
$ ./configure bpf
$ make
-----------------------------------
using gcc/g++ version (gcc version 11.1.0 (Ubuntu 11.1.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1) )
command : gcc -ggdb -O2 -Wall -c hello_world.c -o hello_world.o ( debug
symbols GETS generated )
./gdb/gdb <hello_world.o>
(gdb) target sim
(gdb) sim memory-size 4Mb
(gdb) load
(gdb) run
setting breakpoints and hitting them work
you CAN'T step
you CAN'T print "info registers" or print variables
continue or step crashes gdb and core dump
----------------------------------------------
using clang / llvm ( clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1~18.04.2)
command : clang -g -O2 -target bpf -c hello_world.c ( no debug symbols
gets generated )
no debugging with no symbols
---------------------------------------
terminal output:
