This test case was inspired by Pedro's demonstration of a problem
with my v2 patches. It can be found here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168826.html
In a nutshell, my earlier patches could not handle the case in
which a read-only mapping created with mmap() was created at
an address used by other file-backed read-only memory in use by
the process.
This problem has been fixed (for Linux, anyway) by the commit "Use
NT_FILE note section for reading core target memory".
When I run this test without any of my recent corefile patches,
I see these failures:
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[0]@4
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[pagesize-4]@4
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[-3]@6
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: kernel core: print/x mbuf_ro[pagesize-3]@6
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: maint print core-file-backed-mappings
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: gcore core: print/x mbuf_ro[-3]@6
The ones involving mbuf_ro will almost certainly fail when run on
non-Linux systems; I've used setup_xfail on those tests to prevent
them from outright FAILing when not run on Linux. For a time, I
had considered skipping these tests altogether when not run on
Linux, but I changed my mind due to this failure...
FAIL: gdb.base/corefile2.exp: print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
I think it *should* pass without my recent corefile patches. The fact
that it doesn't is likely due to a bug in GDB. The following
interaction with GDB demonstrates the problem:
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
$1 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize]@3
$2 = {0x6b, 0x6b, 0x6b}
The last three values in display of $1 should be the same as those
shown by $2. Like this...
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize-3]@6
$1 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x6b, 0x6b, 0x6b}
(gdb) print/x mbuf_rw[pagesize]@3
$2 = {0x6b, 0x6b, 0x6b}
That latter output was obtained with the use of all of my current
corefile patches. I see no failures on Linux when running this test
with my current set of corefile patches. I tested 3 architectures:
x86_64, s390x, and aarch64.
I also tested on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE. I see the following results
both with and without the current set of core file patches:
# of expected passes 26
# of expected failures 8
Of particular interest is that I did *not* see the problematic mbuf_rw
failure noted earlier (both with and without the core file patches).
I still don't have an explanation for why this failure occurred on
Linux. Prior to running the tests, I had hypothesized that I'd see
this failure on FreeBSD too, but testing shows that this is not the
case.
Also of importance is that we see no FAILs with this test on FreeBSD
which indicates that I XFAILed the correct tests.
This version runs the interesting tests twice, once with a kernel
created core file and another time with a gcore created core file.
It also does a very minimal test of the new command "maint print
core-file-backed-mappings".

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.
