Subject: [PATCH] nptl: Export libthread_db-used symbols under GLIBC_PRIVATE
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2021 21:23:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877disuwfq.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

Kevin, this *almost* gives us the perfect debugging experience with your
patched GDB in Fedora 35, according to my preliminary tests.  A build
with the patch is running here:

  <https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1773177>

However, it seems that GDB still needs pthread_create in the .symtab to
trigger loading of libpthread_db.  A fully stripped libc.so.6 without
.symtab does not trigger loading in my experiments.  (The other symbols
we preserve for valgrind's sake and are immaterial to GDB.)  In other
words,

  cp /lib64/libc.so.6 . ; strip libc.so.6 ; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. gdb …

does not result in working thread debugging.

If the pthread_create .symtab requirement is too difficult to work
around, we might as well put the _thread_db_* symbols into .symtab and
tell distributions to use:

  strip -w -K pthread_create -K _thread_db_\* libc.so.6

But then we'd need two categories of symbols in the internal consistency
check for nptl_db (the db-symbol.awk file), so maybe that's overdoing
things for a slightly smaller .dynsym size.

Thanks,
Florian

8<------------------------------------------------------------------8<
This allows distributions to strip debugging information from
libc.so.6 without impacting the debugging experience.

nptl_version had to be renamed to __nptl_version to avoid
namespace issues.
