The recent DWARF indexer rewrite introduced a regression when debugging
a forking program.
Here is a way to reproduce the issue (there might be other ways, but one
is enough and this one mimics the situation we encountered). Consider a
program which forks, and the child loads a shared library and calls a
function in this shared library:
if (fork () == 0)
{
void *solib = dlopen (some_solib, RTLD_NOW);
void (*foo) () = dlsym (some_solib, "foo");
foo ();
}
Suppose that this program is compiled without debug info, but the shared
library it loads has debug info enabled.
When debugging such program with the following options:
- set detach-on-fork off
- set follow-fork-mode child
we see something like:
(gdb) b foo
Function "foo" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (foo) pending.
(gdb) run
Starting program: a.out
[Attaching after process 19720 fork to child process 19723]
[New inferior 2 (process 19723)]
[Switching to process 19723]
Thread 2.1 "a.out" hit Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7fc3101 in foo () from .../libfoo.so
(gdb) list

---------------------
A fatal error internal to GDB has been detected, further
debugging is not possible. GDB will now terminate.
This is a bug, please report it. For instructions, see:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.
The first issue observed is in the message printed when hitting the
breakpoint. It says that there was a break in the .so file as if there
was no debug info associated with it, but there is. Later, if we try to
display the source where the execution stopped, we have a segfault.
Note that not having the debug info on the main binary is not strictly
required to encounter some issues, it only is to encounter the segfault.
If the main binary has debug information, GDB shows some source form the
main binary, unrelated to where we stopped.
The core of the issue is that GDB never loads the psymtab for the
library. It is not loaded when we first see the .so because in case of
detach-on-fork off, follow-fork-mode child, infrun.c sets
child_inf->symfile_flags = SYMFILE_NO_READ to delay the psymtab loading
as much as possible. If we compare to what was done to handle this
before the new indexer was activated, the psymatb construction for the
shared library was done under
psymbol_functions::expand_symtabs_matching:
bool
psymbol_functions::expand_symtabs_matching (...)
{
for (partial_symtab *ps : require_partial_symbols (objfile))
...
}
The new indexer's expand_symtabs_matching callback does not have a call
to the objfile's require_partial_symbols, so if the partial symbol table
is not loaded at this point, there is no mechanism to fix this.
Instead of requiring each implementation of the quick_functions to check
that partial symbols have been read, I think it is safer to enforce this
when calling the quick functions. The general pattern for calling the
quick functions is:
for (auto *iter : qf)
iter->the_actual_method_call (...)
This patch proposes to wrap the access of the `qf` field with an accessor
which ensures that partial symbols have been read before iterating:
qf_require_partial_symbols. All calls to quick functions are updated
except:
- quick_functions::dump
- quick_functions::read_partial_symbols (from
objfile::require_partial_symbols)
- quick_functions::can_lazily_read_symbols and quick_functions::has_symbols
(from objfile::has_partial_symbols)
Regression tested on x86_64-gnu-linux.
