The previous commit describes PR gdb/30547, a segfault when running test-case
gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp on powerpc64 (likewise on s390x).
The root cause for the segmentation fault is that linux_is_uclinux gives an
incorrect result: it returns true instead of false.
So, why does linux_is_uclinux:
...
int
linux_is_uclinux (void)
{
CORE_ADDR dummy;
return (target_auxv_search (AT_NULL, &dummy) > 0
&& target_auxv_search (AT_PAGESZ, &dummy) == 0);
...
return true?
This is because ppc_linux_target_wordsize returns 4 instead of 8, causing
ppc_linux_nat_target::auxv_parse to misinterpret the auxv vector.
So, why does ppc_linux_target_wordsize:
...
int
ppc_linux_target_wordsize (int tid)
{
int wordsize = 4;
/* Check for 64-bit inferior process. This is the case when the host is
64-bit, and in addition the top bit of the MSR register is set. */
long msr;
errno = 0;
msr = (long) ptrace (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, tid, PT_MSR * 8, 0);
if (errno == 0 && ppc64_64bit_inferior_p (msr))
wordsize = 8;
return wordsize;
}
...
return 4?
Specifically, we get this result because because tid == 0, so we get
errno == ESRCH.
The tid == 0 is caused by the switch_to_no_thread in
handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit:
...
/* Switch to no-thread while running clone_program_space, so
that clone_program_space doesn't want to read the
selected frame of a dead process. */
scoped_restore_current_thread restore_thread;
switch_to_no_thread ();
inf->pspace = new program_space (maybe_new_address_space ());
...
but moving the maybe_new_address_space call to before that gives us the
same result. The tid is no longer 0, but we still get ESRCH because the
thread has exited.
Fix this in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit by doing the
maybe_new_address_space call in the context of the vfork parent.
Tested on top of trunk on x86_64-linux and ppc64le-linux.
Tested on top of gdb-14-branch on ppc64-linux.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
