This patch addresses a failure in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:
FAIL: gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp: cond_bp_target=1:
detach_on_fork=on: inferior 1 exited (timeout)
Cause:
A fork event was reported to GDB before GDB knew about the parent thread,
followed immediately by a breakpoint event in a different thread. The
parent thread was subsequently added via remote_notice_new_inferior in
process_stop_reply, but when the thread was added the thread_info.state
was set to THREAD_STOPPED. The fork event was then handled correctly,
but when the fork parent was resumed via a call to keep_going, the state
was unchanged.
The breakpoint event was then handled, which caused all the non-breakpoint
threads to be stopped. When the breakpoint thread was resumed, all the
non-breakpoint threads were resumed via infrun.c:restart_threads. Our old
fork parent wasn't restarted, because it still had thread_info.state set to
THREAD_STOPPED. Ultimately the program under debug hung waiting for a
pthread_join while the old fork parent was stopped forever by GDB.
Fix:
Add a call to set_running just before resuming the fork parent in
infrun.c:handle_inferior_event_1. The call could be put elsewhere
(e.g. in keep_going) but this approach makes the change for the case
of resuming after a fork event, without potential side-effects for
other cases where keep_going is called.
Tested on x86_64 Linux and Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.
Thanks,
