Test results for commit d4a0a1ff2b7f3d50180229768a270750ef94bbdf on branch gdb-7.9-branch


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT d4a0a1ff2b7f3d50180229768a270750ef94bbdf ***

Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
Branch: gdb-7.9-branch
Commit: d4a0a1ff2b7f3d50180229768a270750ef94bbdf

When disabling target async, remove all target event sources from the event loop
The sigall-reverse.exp test occasionally fails with something like this:

 (gdb) PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: send signal TERM
 continue
 Continuing.
 The next instruction is syscall exit_group.  It will make the program exit.  Do you want to stop the program?([y] or n) FAIL: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit (timeout)
 FAIL: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: reverse to handler of TERM (timeout)
 FAIL: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: reverse to gen_TERM (timeout)

This is another event-loop/async related problem exposed by the patch
that made 'query' use gdb_readline_wrapper (588dcc3edbde19f9).

The problem is that even though gdb_readline_wrapper disables
target-async while the secondary prompt is in progress, the record
target's async event source is left marked.  So when
gdb_readline_wrapper nests an event loop to process input, it may
happen that that event loop ends up processing a target event while
GDB is not really ready for it.  Here's the relevant part of the
backtrace showing the root issue in action:

With my all-stop-on-top-of-non-stop series, I'm also seeing
gdb.server/ext-attach.exp fail occasionally due to the same issue.

The first part of the fix is for target_async implementations to make
sure to remove/unmark all target-related event sources from the event
loop.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
