Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Fix spurious unhandled remote %Stop notifications
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2020 20:02:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200706190252.22552-2-pedro@palves.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200706190252.22552-1-pedro@palves.net>

In non-stop mode, remote targets mark an async event source whose
callback is supposed to result in calling remote_target::wait_ns to
either process the event queue, or acknowledge an incoming %Stop
notification.

The callback in question is remote_async_inferior_event_handler, where
we call inferior_event_handler, to end up in fetch_inferior_event ->
target_wait -> remote_target::wait -> remote_target::wait_ns.

A problem here however is that when debugging multiple targets,
fetch_inferior_event can pull events out of any target picked at
random, for event fairness.  This means that when
remote_async_inferior_event_handler returns, remote_target::wait may
have not been called at all, and thus pending notifications may have
not been acked.  Because async event sources auto-clear, when
remote_async_inferior_event_handler returns the async event handler is
no longer marked, so the event loop won't automatically call
remote_async_inferior_event_handler again to try to process the
pending remote notifications/queue.  The result is that stop events
may end up not processed, e.g., "interrupt -a" seemingly not managing
to stop all threads.

Fix this by making remote_async_inferior_event_handler mark the event
handler again before returning, if necessary.

Maybe a better fix would be to make async event handlers not
auto-clear themselves, make that the responsibility of the callback,
so that the event loop would keep calling the callback automatically.
Or, we could try making so that fetch_inferior_event would optionally
handle events only for the target that it got passed down via
parameter.  However, I don't think now just before branching is the
time to try to do any such change.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR gdb/26199
	* remote.c (remote_target::open_1): Pass remote target pointer as
	data to create_async_event_handler.
	(remote_async_inferior_event_handler): Mark async event handler
	before returning if the remote target still has either pending
	events or unacknowledged notifications.
