Hi guys,
I got some error with multi-thread and low arch-linux-nat. I
reproduced it in i386-linux, I am not sure it affect other arch or
not.
The following is how to reproduce it:
cat 1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>
void td1(void * i)
{
while (1)
{
printf ("1\n");
sleep (1);
}
return;
}
void td2(void * i)
{
while (1)
{
printf ("2\n");
sleep (1);
}
return;
}
int
main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[])
{
pthread_t t1,t2;
pthread_create(&t1, NULL, (void*)td1, NULL);
pthread_create(&t2, NULL, (void*)td2, NULL);
while (1)
{
printf ("0\n");
sleep (1);
}
return (0);
}

The bug issue is:
In linux-nat.c:linux_nat_resume
/* Convert to something the lower layer understands. */
ptid = pid_to_ptid (GET_LWP (lp->ptid));
In i386-linux-nat.c:i386_linux_resume
int pid = PIDGET (ptid);
struct regcache *regcache = get_thread_regcache (pid_to_ptid (pid));
The pid in i386_linux_resume is lwp, get_thread_regcache will not get
the right ptid.
I don't have any good idea with this bug. There is too much "int pid
= PIDGET (ptid);" In arch-linux-nat function. I am not sure it can
really work well with multi-inferior. This level code looks don't
have good way if the ptid is get from " ptid = pid_to_ptid (GET_LWP
(lp->ptid));".
Thanks,
