On linux we can not read memory if the thread we use to do it is
occupied doing certain system calls. The exact conditions when this
happens have never been clear.
This problem was worked around by using the Blocked method which
recognized the most common circumstances where this would happen.
However this is a hack: Blocked returning true doesn't mean that the
problem will manifest and Blocked returning false doesn't necessarily
mean the problem will not manifest. A side effect of this is issue
#2151 where sometimes we can't read the memory of a thread and find its
associated goroutine.
This commit fixes this problem by always reading memory using a thread
we know to be good for this, specifically the one returned by
ContinueOnce. In particular the changes are as follows:
1. Remove (ProcessInternal).CurrentThread and
(ProcessInternal).SetCurrentThread, the "current thread" becomes a
field of Target, CurrentThread becomes a (*Target) method and
(*Target).SwitchThread basically just sets a field Target.
2. The backends keep track of their own internal idea of what the
current thread is, to use it to read memory, this is the thread they
return from ContinueOnce as trapthread
3. The current thread in the backend and the current thread in Target
only ever get synchronized in two places: when the backend creates a
Target object the currentThread field of Target is initialized with the
backend's current thread and when (*Target).Restart gets called (when a
recording is rewound the currentThread used by Target might not exist
anymore).
4. We remove the MemoryReadWriter interface embedded in Thread and
instead add a Memory method to Process that returns a MemoryReadWriter.
The backends will return something here that will read memory using
the current thread saved by the backend.
5. The Thread.Blocked method is removed
One possible problem with this change is processes that have threads
with different memory maps. As far as I can determine this could happen
on old versions of linux but this option was removed in linux 2.5.
Fixes#2151
* proc,proc/*: move SelectedGoroutine to proc.Target, remove PostInitializationSetup
moves SelectedGoroutine, SwitchThread and SwitchGoroutine to
proc.Target, merges PostInitializationSetup with NewTarget.
* proc,proc/*: add StopReason field to Target
Adds a StopReason field to the Target object describing why the target
process is currently stopped. This will be useful for the DAP server
(which needs to report this reason in one of its requests) as well as
making pull request #1785 (reverse step) conformant to the new
architecture.
* proc: collect NewTarget arguments into a struct
* tests: misc test fixes for go1.14
- math.go is now ambiguous due to changes to the go runtime so specify
that we mean our own math.go in _fixtures
- go list -m requires vendor-mode to be disabled so pass '-mod=' to it
in case user has GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor
- update version of go/packages, required to work with go 1.14 (and
executed go mod vendor)
- Increased goroutine migration in one development version of Go 1.14
revealed a problem with TestCheckpoints in command_test.go and
rr_test.go. The tests were always wrong because Restart(checkpoint)
doesn't change the current thread but we can't assume that when the
checkpoint was taken the current goroutine was running on the same
thread.
* goversion: update maximum supported version
* Makefile: disable testing lldb-server backend on linux with Go 1.14
There seems to be some incompatibility with lldb-server version 6.0.0
on linux and Go 1.14.
* proc/gdbserial: better handling of signals
- if multiple signals are received simultaneously propagate all of them to the
target threads instead of only one.
- debugserver will drop an interrupt request if a target thread simultaneously
receives a signal, handle this situation.
* dwarf/line: normalize backslashes for windows executables
Starting with Go 1.14 the compiler sometimes emits backslashes as well
as forward slashes in debug_line, normalize everything to / for
conformity with the behavior of previous versions.
* proc/native: partial support for Windows async preempt mechanism
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36494 for a description of why
full support for 1.14 under windows is problematic.
* proc/native: disable Go 1.14 async preemption on Windows
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/36494
* pkg/proc: Introduce Target
* pkg/proc: Remove Common.fncallEnabled
Realistically we only block it on recorded backends.
* pkg/proc: Move fncallForG to Target
* pkg/proc: Remove CommonProcess
Remove final bit of functionality stored in CommonProcess and move it to
*Target.
* pkg/proc: Add SupportsFunctionCall to Target
