[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.
