;; Backport fix for dprintf bug (RH BZ 2022177).
Fix PR 28308 - dprintf breakpoints not working when run from script
This commit fixes Bug 28308, titled "Strange interactions with
dprintf and break/commands":
Bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28308
Since creating that bug report, I've found a somewhat simpler way of
reproducing the problem. I've encapsulated it into the GDB test case
which I've created along with this bug fix. The name of the new test
is gdb.base/dprintf-execution-x-script.exp, I'll demonstrate the
problem using this test case, though for brevity, I've placed all
relevant files in the same directory and have renamed the files to all
start with 'dp-bug' instead of 'dprintf-execution-x-script'.
The script file, named dp-bug.gdb, consists of the following commands:
dprintf increment, "dprintf in increment(), vi=%d\n", vi
break inc_vi
commands
continue
end
run
Note that the final command in this script is 'run'. When 'run' is
instead issued interactively, the bug does not occur. So, let's look
at the interactive case first in order to see the correct/expected
output:
$ gdb -q -x dp-bug.gdb dp-bug
... eliding buggy output which I'll discuss later ...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /mesquite2/sourceware-git/f34-master/bld/gdb/tmp/dp-bug
vi=0
dprintf in increment(), vi=0
Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26
26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c
vi=1
dprintf in increment(), vi=1
Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26

26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c
vi=3
[Inferior 1 (process 1539210) exited normally]
In this run, in which 'run' was issued from the gdb prompt (instead
of at the end of the script), there are three dprintf messages along
with three 'Breakpoint 2' messages. This is the correct output.
Now let's look at the output that I snipped above; this is the output
when 'run' is issued from the script loaded via GDB's -x switch:
$ gdb -q -x dp-bug.gdb dp-bug
Reading symbols from dp-bug...
Dprintf 1 at 0x40116e: file dprintf-execution-x-script.c, line 38.
Breakpoint 2 at 0x40113a: file dprintf-execution-x-script.c, line 26.
vi=0
dprintf in increment(), vi=0
Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26
26 dprintf-execution-x-script.c: No such file or directory.
vi=1
Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26
26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c
vi=2
Breakpoint 2, inc_vi () at dprintf-execution-x-script.c:26
26 in dprintf-execution-x-script.c
vi=3
[Inferior 1 (process 1539175) exited normally]
In the output shown above, only the first dprintf message is printed.
The 2nd and 3rd dprintf messages are missing! However, all three
'Breakpoint 2...' messages are still printed.
Why does this happen?
bpstat_do_actions_1() in gdb/breakpoint.c contains the following
comment and code near the start of the function:
/* Avoid endless recursion if a `source' command is contained
in bs->commands. */
if (executing_breakpoint_commands)
return 0;
scoped_restore save_executing
= make_scoped_restore (&executing_breakpoint_commands, 1);
Also, as described by this comment prior to the 'async' field
in 'struct ui' in top.h, the main UI starts off in sync mode
when processing command line arguments:
/* True if the UI is in async mode, false if in sync mode. If in
sync mode, a synchronous execution command (e.g, "next") does not
return until the command is finished. If in async mode, then
running a synchronous command returns right after resuming the
target. Waiting for the command's completion is later done on
the top event loop. For the main UI, this starts out disabled,
until all the explicit command line arguments (e.g., `gdb -ex
"start" -ex "next"') are processed. */
This combination of things, the state of the static global
'executing_breakpoint_commands' plus the state of the async
field in the main UI causes this behavior.
This is a backtrace after hitting the dprintf breakpoint for
the second time when doing 'run' from the script file, i.e.
non-interactively:

There are two frames for bpstat_do_actions_1(), one at frame #16 and
the other at frame #0. The one at frame #16 is processing the actions
for Breakpoint 2, which is a 'continue'. The one at frame #0 is attempting
to process the dprintf breakpoint action. However, at this point,
the value of 'executing_breakpoint_commands' is 1, forcing an early
return, i.e. prior to executing the command(s) associated with the dprintf
breakpoint.
For the sake of comparison, this is what the stack looks like when hitting
the dprintf breakpoint for the second time when issuing the 'run'
command from the GDB prompt.

This relatively short backtrace is due to the current UI's async field
being set to 1.
Yet another thing to be aware of regarding this problem is the
difference in the way that commands associated to dprintf breakpoints
versus regular breakpoints are handled. While they both use a command
list associated with the breakpoint, regular breakpoints will place
the commands to be run on the bpstat chain constructed in
bp_stop_status(). These commands are run later on. For dprintf
breakpoints, commands are run via the 'after_condition_true' function
pointer directly from bpstat_stop_status(). (The 'commands' field in
the bpstat is cleared in dprintf_after_condition_true(). This
prevents the dprintf commands from being run again later on when other
commands on the bpstat chain are processed.)
Another thing that I noticed is that dprintf breakpoints are the only
type of breakpoint which use 'after_condition_true'. This suggests
that one possible way of fixing this problem, that of making dprintf
breakpoints work more like regular breakpoints, probably won't work.
(I must admit, however, that my understanding of this code isn't
complete enough to say why. I'll trust that whoever implemented it
had a good reason for doing it this way.)
The comment referenced earlier regarding 'executing_breakpoint_commands'
states that the reason for checking this variable is to avoid
potential endless recursion when a 'source' command appears in
bs->commands. We know that a dprintf command is constrained to either
1) execution of a GDB printf command, 2) an inferior function call of
a printf-like function, or 3) execution of an agent-printf command.
Therefore, infinite recursion due to a 'source' command cannot happen
when executing commands upon hitting a dprintf breakpoint.
I chose to fix this problem by having dprintf_after_condition_true()
directly call execute_control_commands(). This means that it no
longer attempts to go through bpstat_do_actions_1() avoiding the
infinite recursion check for potential 'source' commands on the
command chain. I think it simplifies this code a little bit too, a
definite bonus.
Summary:
* breakpoint.c (dprintf_after_condition_true): Don't call
bpstat_do_actions_1(). Call execute_control_commands()
instead.
