Fix potential hang during gdbserver testing
|
|
|
a8223e |
|
|
|
a8223e |
We're currently seeing testing of native-extended-gdbserver hang while
|
|
|
a8223e |
testing the x86_64 architecture on both Fedora 34 and Fedora Rawhide.
|
|
|
a8223e |
The test responsible for the hang is gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp.
|
|
|
a8223e |
|
|
|
a8223e |
While there is clearly a problem/bug with this test on F34 and
|
|
|
a8223e |
Rawhide, it's also the case that testing should not hang. This commit
|
|
|
a8223e |
prevents the hang by waiting with the "-nowait" flag in
|
|
|
a8223e |
close_gdbserver.
|
|
|
a8223e |
|
|
|
a8223e |
The -nowait flag is also used in the kill_wait_spawned_process proc in
|
|
|
a8223e |
gdb/testsuite/lib/gdb.exp, so there is precedent for doing this.
|
|
|
a8223e |
|
|
|
a8223e |
There are also 15 other uses of "wait -i" scattered throughout the
|
|
|
a8223e |
test suite. While it's tempting to change these to also use the
|
|
|
a8223e |
-nowait flag, I think it might be safer to defer doing so until we
|
|
|
a8223e |
actually see a problem.

I've tested this patch on Fedora 32, 33, 34, and Rawhide. Results are
|
|
|
a8223e |
comparable on Fedora 32 and 33. On Fedora 34 and Rawhide, with this
|
|
|
a8223e |
commit in place, testing completes when the target_board is
|
|
|
a8223e |
native-extended-gdbserver. On those OSes, when not using this commit,
|
|
|
a8223e |
testing usually hangs due to a problem with
|
|
|
a8223e |
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp. I've also tested on all of the
|
|
|
a8223e |
mentioned OSes with target_board=native-gdbserver; for that testing,
|
|
|
a8223e |
I achieved comparable results over a number of runs. (Unfortunately
|
|
|
a8223e |
results are rarely identical due to racy tests.)
