- Subject: remote debugging a multi-threaded program with signal
There is a program on remote-debugging a multi-threaded program which
uses signals. After receiving a signal (configured to "nostop"), the
thread which receives it resumes normally but other threads leave
stopped.
I'm using gdb/snapshots/branch/gdb-6.0.90.tar.bz2 (Mar 1) on i386-linux.
The test program to reproduce this problem is attached (sigtest.c).
It creates a thread which waits SIGUSR1 and main thread sends SIGUSR1
to the thread every 10 secs. Usual output is:
$ ./sigtest
[sigtest:26616:1024]:main
[sigtest:26618:1026]:func
[sigtest:26616:1024]:send SIGUSR1
[sigtest:26618:1026]:sigwait 10
[sigtest:26616:1024]:send SIGUSR1
[sigtest:26618:1026]:sigwait 10
...
gdb debug session log is:
(gdb) target remote localhost:50000
Remote debugging using localhost:50000
0x080480e0 in _start ()
(gdb) handle SIGUSR1 nostop
Signal Stop Print Pass to program Description
SIGUSR1 No Yes Yes User defined signal 1
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[New Thread 1024]

and gdbserver side log is:
$ ./gdbserver host:50000 ./sigtest
Process ./sigtest created; pid = 26599
Listening on port 50000
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
[sigtest:26599:1024]:main
[sigtest:26601:1026]:func
[sigtest:26599:1024]:send SIGUSR1
[sigtest:26601:1026]:sigwait 10
(no more output)
ps output is:
$ ps a
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
26598 pts/4 S 0:00 ./gdbserver host:50000 ./sigtest
26599 pts/4 T 0:00 ./sigtest
26600 pts/4 T 0:00 ./sigtest
26601 pts/4 S 0:00 ./sigtest
PID 26601 is a thread which receives SIGUSR1. This was resumed but
others are still stopped.
I tried "set remote verbose-resume-packet off" and got same results.
It seems gdbserver does not handle 'continue with signal' case
correctly. I tried to fix this problem and create a patch below, and
it seems work, but I'm not sure this is a correct fix (or correct
place).

Other attached files are some session logs for gdb (set debug remote

gdb.output1 and gdbserver.output1 are logs with "verbose-resume on".
gdb.output2 and gdbserver.output2 are logs with "verbose-resume off".
