gdb: set current thread in sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (…
…PR gdb/27147) PR 27147 shows that on sparc64, GDB is unable to properly unwind: Expected result (from GDB 9.2): #0 0x0000000000108de4 in puts () #1 0x0000000000100950 in hello () at gdb-test.c:4 #2 0x0000000000100968 in main () at gdb-test.c:8 Actual result (from GDB latest git): #0 0x0000000000108de4 in puts () #1 0x0000000000100950 in hello () at gdb-test.c:4 Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?) The first failing commit is 5b6d1e4 ("Multi-target support"). The cause of the change in behavior is due to (thanks for Andrew Burgess for finding this): - inferior_ptid is no longer set on entry of target_ops::wait, whereas it was set to something valid previously - deep down in linux_nat_target::wait (see stack trace below), we fetch the registers of the event thread - on sparc64, fetching registers involves reading memory (in sparc_supply_rwindow, see stack trace below) - reading memory (target_ops::xfer_partial) relies on inferior_ptid being set to the thread from which we want to read memory This is where things go wrong: #0

argv=0x7feffe3d548) at /home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb.c:32 There is a target_read_memory call in sparc_supply_rwindow, whose return value is not checked. That call fails, because inferior_ptid does not contain a valid ptid, and uninitialized buffer contents is used. Ultimately it results in a corrupt stop_pc. target_ops::fetch_registers can be (and should remain, in my opinion) independent of inferior_ptid, because the ptid of the thread from which to fetch registers can be obtained from the regcache. In other words, implementations of target_ops::fetch_registers should not rely on inferior_ptid having a sensible value on entry. The sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers case is special, because it calls a target method that is dependent on the inferior_ptid value (target_read_inferior, and ultimately target_ops::xfer_partial). So I would say it's the responsibility of sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers to set up inferior_ptid correctly prior to calling target_read_inferior. This patch makes sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers (and store_registers, since it works the same) temporarily set inferior_ptid. If we ever make target_ops::xfer_partial independent of inferior_ptid, setting inferior_ptid won't be necessary, we'll simply pass down the ptid as a parameter in some way. I chose to set/restore inferior_ptid in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, because I am not convinced that doing so in an inner location (in sparc_supply_rwindow for instance) would always be correct. We have access to the ptid in sparc_supply_rwindow (from the regcache), so we _could_ set inferior_ptid there. However, I don't want to just set inferior_ptid, as that would make it not desync'ed with `current_thread ()` and `current_inferior ()`. It's preferable to use switch_to_thread instead, as that switches all the global "current" stuff in a coherent way. But doing so requires a `thread_info *`, and getting a `thread_info *` from a ptid requires a `process_stratum_target *`. We could use `current_inferior()->process_target()` in sparc_supply_rwindow for this (using target_read_memory uses the current inferior's target stack anyway). However, sparc_supply_rwindow is also used in the context of BSD uthreads, where a thread stratum target defines threads. I presume the ptid in the regcache would be the ptid of the uthread, defined by the thread stratum target (bsd_uthread_target). Using `current_inferior()->process_target()` would look up a ptid defined by the thread stratum target using the process stratum target. I don't think it would give good results. So I prefer playing it safe and looking up the thread earlier, in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers. I added some assertions (in sparc_supply_rwindow and others) to verify that the regcache's ptid matches inferior_ptid. That verifies that the caller has properly set the correct global context. This would have caught (though a failed assertion) the current problem. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/27147 * sparc-nat.h (sparc_fetch_inferior_registers): Add process_stratum_target parameter, sparc_store_inferior_registers): update callers. * sparc-nat.c (sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, sparc_store_inferior_registers): Add process_stratum_target parameter.
