gdb/gdb-6.7-bz233852-attach-signalled-fix.patch

2008-01-09  Jan Kratochvil  <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>

	Support attaching to stopped processes/threads and/or with pending
	signals.  This ChangeLog entry is OBSOLETE:
	* linux-nat.c (STRINGIFY, STRINGIFY_ARG): New macros.
	(kill_lwp): New declaration.
	(linux_ptrace_post_attach, pid_is_stopped): New function.
	(linux_child_follow_fork): New comment about WAS_STOPPED.
	(lin_lwp_attach_lwp): Variable PID removed.  Part replaced by a call to
	LINUX_PTRACE_POST_ATTACH.
	(linux_nat_attach): Likewise.
	(linux_nat_detach): Optionally stop the detached process.
	(linux_nat_resume): Clear WAS_STOPPED if appropriate.
	* NEWS: Document the new behaviour.

2007-06-30  Jan Kratochvil  <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (Attach): Document the ATTACH and DETACH commands for
	stopped processes.  Document the messages on the seen pending signals.

+
+   Scenario for a standard unstopped inferior:
+    * `S (sleeping)' or `R (running)' or similiar states.
+    * PTRACE_ATTACH is called.
+    * `S (sleeping)' (or similiar) for some while.
+    * `T (tracing stop)'.
+    * WAITPID succeeds here returning SIGSTOP (signalled by PTRACE_ATTACH).
+
+   Scenario for a formerly stopped inferior:
+    * `T (stopped)'.
+    * PTRACE_ATTACH is called.
+    * `T (stopped)' would stay indefinitely
+      Note since this moment the `TracerPid' field gets filled
+      (by PTRACE_ATTACH), it is no longer just the common `T (stopped)' state.
+       * If no one did WAITPID since sending SIGSTOP our WAITPID would return
+         SIGSTOP.  The state still would not turn to `T (tracing stop)'.
+       * Usually its original parent (before PTRACE_ATTACH was applied) already
+         did WAITPID.  The original parent already received our SIGSTOP
+         sinalled by our PTRACE_ATTACH.
+         In this case our own WAITPID would hang.  Therefore...
+    * ... we do artificial: tkill (SIGCONT);
+      `PTRACE_CONT, SIGSTOP' does not work in 100% cases as sometimes SIGSTOP
+      gets remembered by kernel during the first PTRACE_CONT later and we get
+      spurious SIGSTOP event.  Expecting the signal may get delivered to
+      a different task of the thread group.
+      `kill_lwp (SIGSTOP)' has no effect in this moment (it is already stopped).
+    * WAITPID returns the artifical SIGCONT.
+      (The possibly pending SIGSTOP gets vanished by specifically SIGCONT.)
+    * State turns `T (tracing stop)'.
+   In this moment everything is almost fine but we need a workaround as final
+   `PTRACE_DETACH, SIGSTOP' would leave the process unstopped otherwise:
+    * tkill (SIGSTOP);
+    * `PTRACE_CONT, 0'
+    * WAITPID returns the artifical SIGSTOP.
+
+   With the pending (unwaited for) SIGSTOP the artifical signal effects are:
+   kill (SIGSTOP)
+   PTRACE_ATTACH
+    /-tkill (SIGCONT), WAITPID: SIGCONT, WAITPID: hang !
+   //-tkill (SIGCONT), WAITPID: SIGCONT, PTRACE_CONT (SIG_0), WAITPID: wait (OK)
+   \\-tkill (SIGALRM), WAITPID: SIGSTOP, WAITPID: hang !
+    \-tkill (SIGALRM), WAITPID: SIGSTOP, PTRACE_CONT (SIG_0), WAITPID: SIGALRM !
+   Therefore we signal artifical SIGCONT and stop waiting after its reception.
+
+   For the detection whether the process was formerly stopped we need to
+   read `/proc/PID/status'.  `PTRACE_CONT, SIGSTOP' returns ESRCH
+   for `S (sleeping)' and succeeds for `T (stopped)' but it unfortunately
+   succeeds even for `T (tracing stop)'.  Depending on PTRACE_CONT, SIGSTOP
+   success value for formerly stopped processes would mean a race condition
+   as we would get false stopped processes detection if we get too slow.
+
+   `waitid (..., WSTOPPED)' hangs the same way as WAITPID.
+
+   Signals get queued for WAITPID.  PTRACE_ATTACH (or TKILL) enqueues SIGSTOP
+   there but WAITPID may return an already pending signal.
+   Redeliver it by PTRACE_CONT, SIGxxx as otherwise it would get lost.
+   Similiar processing is being done in this file by WAIT_LWP.  */
