Subject: [PATCH] forkfd/Linux: ask clone() to use the SIGCHLD as the
|
|
termination signal
|
|
|
|
Because of these lines in the Linux kernel (kernel/fork.c, see [1][3]):
|
|
|
|
if (clone_flags & CLONE_VFORK)
|
|
trace = PTRACE_EVENT_VFORK;
|
|
else if (args->exit_signal != SIGCHLD)
|
|
trace = PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE;
|
|
else
|
|
trace = PTRACE_EVENT_FORK;
|
|
|
|
Without CLONE_VFORK (which we can't use), if the exit signal isn't
|
|
SIGCHLD, the debugger will get a PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, which makes it
|
|
think the process we're starting is a thread, not a new process. Both
|
|
gdb and lldb remain attached to the child and when it later performs an
|
|
execve(), they get mightily confused. See gdb bug report[5].
|
|
|
|
The idea of not having an exit_signal was so that no SIGCHLD would be
|
|
delivered to the parent process in the first place. That way, some
|
|
misguided SIGCHLD handler (*cough* GLib *cough*) wouldn't reap our
|
|
processes. Unfortunately, what I didn't realize was that the kernel
|
|
sends SIGCHLD anyway (see [2][4]), so this defensive measure didn't
|
|
actually work. Consequently, we can pass SIGCHLD to clone() and get the
|
|
debuggers working again.
|
|
|
|
[ChangeLog][Linux] Fixed an issue that would cause debugging a Qt
|
|
application that uses QProcess to confuse both gdb and lldb if
|
|
the Linux kernel was version 5.4 or higher. Behavior outside of
|
|
a debugging session was not affected.
