Subject: [PATCH] Fix for GDB failing to interrupt after run when no PID issued by stub
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 10:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1517222676-467-1-git-send-email-omair.javaid@linaro.org> (raw)
This behaviour was observed with OpenOCD GDB stub where gdb was failing to stop when interrupted after issuing run command that does not preceede a continue.
Bug report can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+bug/1594341
Here are the steps to reproduce:
1) arm-none-eabi-gdb file-to-debug.elf
2) target remote :3333
At this stage gdb would have connected and halted successfully.
3) run
Issue ctrl + C to interrupt running program and GDB wont be able to stop.
The reason narrowed down to be a case where gdb was unable to clear stop_soon to NO_STOP_QUIETLY;
As some gdb stubs dont report a PID in stop reply the inferior_ptid stays null. A call to remote_current_thread may assign a magic PID in that case.
Based on inferior_ptid function inferior_clear_proceed_status updates inferior->control.stop_soon = NO_STOP_QUIETLY;
If extended_remote_create_inferior calls inferior_clear_proceed_status before a magic PID is assigned to current inferior then it will fail to set inferior->control.stop_soon = NO_STOP_QUIETLY;
This patch adjusts call to inferior_clear_proceed_status such that a PID is assigned to inferior before we try to update inferior->control.stop_soon.
gdb/ChangeLog:

* remote.c: (extended_remote_create_inferior): Adjust call to
inferior_clear_proceed_status.
