From FEDORA_PATCHES Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Keith Seitz Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 09:26:44 -0400 Subject: gdb-rhbz1842691-corefile-mem-access-11of15.patch ;; Adjust coredump-filter.exp to account for NT_FILE note handling ;; Kevin Buettner, RH BZ 1842961 Author: Kevin Buettner Date: Fri Jul 3 20:10:22 2020 -0700 Adjust coredump-filter.exp to account for NT_FILE note handling This commit makes adjustments to coredump-filter.exp to account for the fact that NT_FILE file-backed mappings are now available when a core file is loaded. Thus, a test which was expected to PASS when a memory region was determined to be unavailable (due to no file-backed mappings being available) will now FAIL due to those mappings being available from having loaded the NT_FILE note. I had originally marked the test as XFAIL, but Mihails Strasuns suggested a much better approach: 1) First test that it still works if file is accessible in the filesystem. 2) Temporarily move / rename the file and test that disassembly doesn't work anymore. That's what this commit implements. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp: Add second non-Private-Shared-Anon-File test. (test_disasm): Rename binfile for test which is expected to fail. diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp @@ -80,15 +80,26 @@ proc do_load_and_test_core { core var working_var working_value dump_excluded } # disassemble of a function (i.e., the binary's .text section).
