A recent bug (RH BZ 1931344) has exposed a bug in the core file
build-ID support that I introduced a while ago. It is pretty
easy to demonstate the problem following a simplified procedure
outlined in that bug:
[shell1]
shell1$ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm
[shell2]
shell2$ pkill -SEGV -x qemu-kvm
[shell1]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Load this core file into GDB without specifying an executable
(an unfortunate Fedora/RHEL-ism), and GDB will inform the user
to install debuginfo for the "missing" executable:
$ gdb -nx -q core.12345
...
Missing separate debuginfo for the main executable file
Try: dnf --enablerepo='*debug*' install /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/e2/e9c66d3117fb2bbb5b2be122f04f2664e5df54
Core was generated by `/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
...
The suggested build-ID is actaully for gmp not qemu-kvm. The problem
lies in _bfd_elf_core_find_build_id, where we loop over program headers
looking for note segments:
/* Read in program headers and parse notes. */
for (i = 0; i < i_ehdr.e_phnum; ++i, ++i_phdr)
{
Elf_External_Phdr x_phdr;
if (bfd_bread (&x_phdr, sizeof (x_phdr), abfd) != sizeof (x_phdr))
goto fail;
elf_swap_phdr_in (abfd, &x_phdr, i_phdr);
if (i_phdr->p_type == PT_NOTE && i_phdr->p_filesz > 0)
{
elf_read_notes (abfd, offset + i_phdr->p_offset,
i_phdr->p_filesz, i_phdr->p_align);
if (abfd->build_id != NULL)
return TRUE;
}
elf_read_notes uses bfd_seek to forward the stream to the location of
the note segment. When control returns to _bfd_elf_core_fild_build_id,
the stream is no longer in the location looking at program headers, and
all subsequent reads will read from the wrong file offset.
To fix this, this patch marks the stream location and ensures
that it is restored after elf_read_notes is called.

* elfcore.h (_bfd_elf_core_find_build_id): Seek file
offset of program headers after calling elf_read_notes.

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.
