This package implements a simple clone()-based implementation of Posix threads for Linux. To use this module, be sure that you have at least the version of the linuxthreads package that holds the support of GDB (currently 0.8 included in the glibc-2.0.7). Right now, the linuxthreads package does not care of priority scheduling, so, neither this module does; In particular, the threads are resumed in any order, which could lead to different scheduling than the one happening when GDB does not control the execution. The latest point is that ptrace(PT_ATTACH, ...) is intrusive in Linux: When a process is attached, then the attaching process becomes the current parent of the attached process, and the old parent has lost this child. If the old parent does a wait[...](), then this child is no longer considered by the kernel as a child of the old parent, thus leading to results of the call different when the child is attached and when it's not. A fix has been submitted to the Linux community to solve this problem, which consequences are not visible to the application itself, but on the process which may wait() for the completion of the application (mostly, it may consider that the application no longer exists (errno == ECHILD), although it does, and thus being unable to get the exit status and resource usage of the child. If by chance, it is able to wait() for the application after it has died (by receiving first a SIGCHILD, and then doing a wait(), then the exit status and resource usage may be wrong, because the linuxthreads package heavily relies on wait() synchronization to keep them correct. */ #include "defs.h" #include <sys/types.h> /* for pid_t */ #include <sys/ptrace.h> /* for PT_* flags */ #include "gdb_wait.h" /* for WUNTRACED and __WCLONE flags */ #include <signal.h> /* for struct sigaction and NSIG */ #include <sys/utsname.h> #include "target.h" #include "inferior.h" #include "gdbcore.h" #include "gdbthread.h" #include "gdbcmd.h" #include "breakpoint.h" #ifndef PT_ATTACH #define PT_ATTACH PTRACE_ATTACH #endif #ifndef PT_KILL #define PT_KILL PTRACE_KILL #endif #ifndef PT_READ_U #define PT_READ_U PTRACE_PEEKUSR #endif #ifdef NSIG #define LINUXTHREAD_NSIG NSIG #else #ifdef _NSIG #define LINUXTHREAD_NSIG _NSIG #endif #endif extern int child_suppress_run; /* make inftarg.c non-runnable */ struct target_ops linuxthreads_ops; /* Forward declaration */ extern struct target_ops child_ops; /* target vector for inftarg.c */ static CORE_ADDR linuxthreads_handles; /* array of linuxthreads handles */ static CORE_ADDR linuxthreads_manager; /* pid of linuxthreads manager thread */ static CORE_ADDR linuxthreads_initial; /* pid of linuxthreads initial thread */ static CORE_ADDR linuxthreads_debug; /* linuxthreads internal debug flag */ static CORE_ADDR linuxthreads_num; /* number of valid handle entries */ static int linuxthreads_max; /* Maximum number of linuxthreads.
