gdb: set current thread in sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…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:

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.
