commit 59af5db9c15d8ea03c1521736fb1f107d66bce08 Author: philippe Date: Sun Jun 25 20:25:50 2017 +0000 After fork, vgdb activity is polled according to the nr of bbs done : once the nr of bbs done reaches the next vgdb poll, a check for vgdb activity is done. This might lead to the activation of gdbserver after fork. Such poll is however not expected, unless the children is to be trace. This spurious poll in the forked child can cause failures depending on the nr of bbs done before the fork, and the nr of bbs done between the fork and the exec. => disable vgdb poll in the child in the cleanup after fork in the child, unless the children have to be traced. git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@16454 a5019735-40e9-0310-863c-91ae7b9d1cf9 diff --git a/coregrind/m_gdbserver/m_gdbserver.c b/coregrind/m_gdbserver/m_gdbserver.c index 87fbce2..648d543 100644 --- a/coregrind/m_gdbserver/m_gdbserver.c +++ b/coregrind/m_gdbserver/m_gdbserver.c @@ -646,6 +646,10 @@ static void gdbserver_cleanup_in_child_after_fork(ThreadId me) if (VG_(clo_trace_children)) { VG_(gdbserver_prerun_action) (me); + } else { + /* After fork, if we do not trace the children, disable vgdb + poll to avoid gdbserver being called unexpectedly. */ + VG_(disable_vgdb_poll) (); } }
