On ppc-lynx178, resuming the execution of a program after hitting
a breakpoint sometimes triggers a spurious SIG61 event:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Program received signal SIG61, Real-time event 61.
[Switching to Thread 39]
0x10002324 in a_test.task1 (<_task>=0x3ffff774) at a_test.adb:30
30 select -- Task 1
From this point on, continuing again lets the signal kill the program.
Using "signal 0" or configuring GDB to discard the signal does not
help either, as the program immediately reports the same signal again.
What happens is the following:
- GDB sends a single-step order to gdbserver: $vCont;s:31
This tells GDBserver to do a step using thread 0x31=49.
GDBserver does the step, and thread 49 receives the SIGTRAP
indicating that the step has finished.
- GDB then sends a "continue", but this time does not specify
which thread to continue: $vCont;c
GDBserver uses an arbitrary thread's ptid to resume the program's
execution (the current_inferior's ptid was chosen for that).
See lynx-low.c:lynx_resume:
if (ptid_equal (ptid, minus_one_ptid))
ptid = thread_to_gdb_id (current_inferior);
So far on all LynxOS platforms, this has been good enough. But
not so on LynxOS 178. If the ptid used to resume the execution
is not the same as the thread that did the step, we get the weird
signal.
This patch fixes the problem by saving the ptid of the thread
that last caused an event, received during a call to waitpid.
The ptid is saved in per-process private data.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (struct process_info_private): New type.
(lynx_add_process): New function.
(lynx_create_inferior, lynx_attach): Replace calls to
add_process by calls to lynx_add_process.
(lynx_resume): If PTID is null, then try using
current_process()->private->last_wait_event_ptid.
Add comments.
(lynx_clear_inferiors): Delete. The contents of that function
has been inlined in lynx_mourn;
(lynx_wait_1): Save the ptid in the process's private data.
(lynx_mourn): Free the process' private data. Replace call
to lynx_clear_inferiors by call to clear_inferiors.

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.
