[PATCH v4 2/2] gdb/infrun: handle already-exited threads when attempting to stop

Tankut Baris Aktemur tankut.baris.aktemur@intel.com
Fri Feb 7 12:04:00 GMT 2020


In stop_all_threads, GDB sends signals to other threads in an attempt
to stop them.  While in a typical scenario the expected wait status is
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, it is possible that the thread GDB attempted
to stop has already terminated.  If so, a waitstatus other than
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED would be received.  Handle this case
appropriately.

If a wait status that denotes thread termination is ignored, GDB goes
into an infinite loop in stop_all_threads.
E.g.:

~~~
$ gdb ./a.out
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior -exec ./a.out
...
(gdb) inferior 2
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) set schedule-multiple on
(gdb) set debug infrun 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (process 23419)
infrun: clear_proceed_status_thread (process 23703)
infrun: proceed (addr=0xffffffffffffffff, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_DEFAULT)
infrun: proceed: resuming process 23419
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 23419] at 0x55555555514e
infrun: infrun_async(1)
infrun: prepare_to_wait
infrun: proceed: resuming process 23703
infrun: resume (step=0, signal=GDB_SIGNAL_0), trap_expected=0, current thread [process 23703] at 0x55555555514e
infrun: prepare_to_wait
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun:   23703.23703.0 [process 23703],
infrun:   status->kind = exited, status = 0
infrun: handle_inferior_event status->kind = exited, status = 0
[Inferior 2 (process 23703) exited normally]
infrun: stop_waiting
infrun: stop_all_threads
infrun: stop_all_threads, pass=0, iterations=0
infrun:   process 23419 executing, need stop
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun:   23419.23419.0 [process 23419],
infrun:   status->kind = exited, status = 0
infrun: stop_all_threads status->kind = exited, status = 0 process 23419
infrun:   process 23419 executing, already stopping
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun:   -1.0.0 [process -1],
infrun:   status->kind = no-resumed
infrun: stop_all_threads status->kind = no-resumed process -1
infrun:   process 23419 executing, already stopping
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun:   -1.0.0 [process -1],
infrun:   status->kind = no-resumed
infrun: stop_all_threads status->kind = no-resumed process -1
infrun:   process 23419 executing, already stopping
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun:   -1.0.0 [process -1],
infrun:   status->kind = no-resumed
infrun: stop_all_threads status->kind = no-resumed process -1
infrun:   process 23419 executing, already stopping
infrun: target_wait (-1.0.0, status) =
infrun:   -1.0.0 [process -1],
infrun:   status->kind = no-resumed
infrun: stop_all_threads status->kind = no-resumed process -1
infrun:   process 23419 executing, already stopping
~~~

And this polling goes on forever.  This patch prevents the infinite
looping behavior.  For the same scenario above, we obtain the
following behavior:
