Subject: [PATCH] Fix amd_dbgapi_target::wait's handling of TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 18:01:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619170151.821207-1-pedro@palves.net> (raw)

On Windows, a ROCgdb downstream testcase
(gdb.rocm/register-watchpoint.exp, which we can't upstream yet due to
missing support for DWARF 6 features upstream) currently fails with a
timeout, like so:

  (gdb) PASS: gdb.rocm/register-watchpoint.exp: continue to breakpoint: bit_extract_kernel
  watch $s32
  Watchpoint 3: $s32
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.rocm/register-watchpoint.exp: watchpoint on a stack pointer of the first wave
  continue
  Continuing.
  FAIL: gdb.rocm/register-watchpoint.exp: continue (timeout)

Running the test manualy with some extra logging, we see:

  [infrun] stop_all_threads:   6/7 waits_needed                          << extra
  [amd-dbgapi] wait: ptid = -1.0.0
  [windows events] get_windows_debug_event: kernel event for pid=7036 tid=0x4e8 code=EXCEPTION_DEBUG_EVENT
  [windows events] get_windows_debug_event: get_windows_debug_event - unexpected stop in suspended thread 0x4e8
  [windows events] continue_last_debug_event: ContinueDebugEvent (cpid=7036, ctid=0x4e8, DBG_REPLY_LATER)
  [windows events] wait: get_windows_debug_event returned [0.0.0 : status->kind = IGNORE, fake=0]
  [infrun] print_target_wait_results: target_wait (-1.0.0 [process -1], status) =
  [infrun] print_target_wait_results:   0.0.0 [process 0],
  [infrun] print_target_wait_results:   status->kind = IGNORE
  [infrun] print_target_wait_results:   from target 1 (native)
  [infrun] wait_one: about to block in interruptible_select              << extra

So we're in stop_all_threads, and we've pulled the stop events for all
CPU threads already, but then we hang in interruptible_select waiting
for the last stop event, which happens to be for the GPU wave.

In wait_one, before the interruptible_select call, we poll events from
the target, via target_wait with WNOHANG, and so we get here:

    ptid_t
    amd_dbgapi_target::wait (ptid_t ptid, struct target_waitstatus *ws,
			     target_wait_flags target_options)
    {
  ...
      ptid_t event_ptid = beneath ()->wait (ptid, ws, target_options);
      if (event_ptid != minus_one_ptid)
	{
  ...
	  return event_ptid;
	}
  ... handle dbgapi events ...

So above, we call the beneath target's wait.  On Windows that may hit
that "get_windows_debug_event - unexpected stop in suspended thread
0x4e8" path, which makes windows_nat_target::wait return
TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE.  The Windows target pairs that with event_ptid
== ptid_t(0,0,0) though, so the 'if then' branch is taken and we
return the TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE to the core without looking for
dbgapi events.  The event for the wave stop at this point has already
been flushed from the dbgapi library into amd-dbgapi-target's dbgapi
local event queue, and so wait_one ends up deadlocked in
interruptible_select, which results in the timeouts observed.

Nothing specifies that TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE must be returned with
minus_one_ptid.  infrun never looks at the event ptid if the status is
TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE.  So fix this by tweaking
amd_dbgapi_target::wait to not assume that either.
