Read the command line of the main target process as well as any other
process Delve attaches to in follow exec mode.
The command line can be viewed using the 'target list' command.
In follow exec mode this command line is used to match the follow exec
regex to decide whether or not to attach to a child process.
On macOS or when using rr the list of arguments is not available for
attached processes since there is no way to use the gdb serial protocol
to read it.
Fixes#2242
Adds the ability to automatically debug child processes executed by the
target to the linux native backend.
This commit does not contain user interface or API to access this
functionality.
Updates #2551
- use PT_SUSPEND/PT_RESUME to control running threads in
resume/stop/singleStep
- change manual stop signal from SIGTRAP to SIGSTOP to make manual stop
handling simpler
- change (*nativeProcess).trapWaitInternal to suspend newly created
threads when we are stepping a thread
- change (*nativeProcess).trapWaitInternal to handle some unhandled
stop events
- remove misleading (*nativeProcess).waitFast which does not do
anything different from the normal wait variant
- rewrite (*nativeProcess).stop to only set breakpoints for threads of
which we have received SIGTRAP
- rewrite (*nativeThread).singleStep to actually execute a single
instruction and to properly route signals
Introduces a new TargetGroup abstraction that can be used to manage
multiple related targets.
No actual management of child processes is implemented here, this is
just a refactoring to make it possible to do that in the future.
Updates #2551
On FreeBSD and OpenBSD, the use of runtime.LockOSThread is resulting in segfaults
within the Go runtime (see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/52394) - while it
should not be necessary, calling runtime.UnlockOSThread upon exit from
handlePtraceFuncs avoids this issue and allows the tests to run correctly.
* go.mod: update golang.org/x/tools to v0.1.8
Fixes TestGeneratedDoc on go1.18
* TeamCity: bump test matrix
Add 1.18 to test matrix. Remove 1.15 from test matrix and from support range.
* proc,tests: update for regabi on arm64 and 386
Make sure that stacktrace registers always contain the PC register of
the current frame, even though the debug_frame rules might not specify
it on architectures that use a link register.
The PC register is needed to look up loclist entries for variable
evaluation.
* goversion: bump maximum supported Go version to 1.18
* proc: disable asyncpreempt on linux/arm64
Asyncpreempt on linux/arm64 can sometimes restart a sequence of
instructions which will make breakpoint appear to be hit twice in some
cases.
* made Pid a method of Target instead of a method of Process
* changed argument of NewTarget to ProcessInternal, since that's the
interface that backends have to implement
* removed warnings about ProcessInternal since there is no way for
users of pkg/proc to access those methods anyway
* made RecordingManipulation an optional interface for backends, Target
supplies its own dummy implementation when the backend doesn't
* inlined small interfaces that only existed to be inlined in
proc.Process anyway
* removed unused function findExecutable in the Windows and no-native
darwin backends
* removed (*EvalScope).EvalVariable, an old synonym for EvalExpression
Normally calls can't be performed on recorded processes, becuase the
future instructions executed by the target are predetermined. The rr
debugger however has a mechanism that allows this by taking the current
state of the recording and allowing it to diverge from the recording,
temporarily.
This commit adds support for starting and ending such diversions around
function calls.
Note: this requires rr version 5.5 of later to work, see:
https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr/pull/2748
Adds the low-level support for watchpoints (aka data breakpoints) to
the native linux/amd64 backend.
Does not add user interface or functioning support for watchpoints
on stack variables.
Updates #279
We have some places where we use proc.ErrProcessExited and some places
that use &proc.ErrProcessExited, resulting in checks for process exited
errors occasionally failing on some architectures.
Uniform use of ErrProcessExited to the non-pointer version.
Fixes intermittent failure of TestStepOutPreservesGoroutine.
When cgo is used the address of the g struct is saved on the special
register TPIDR_EL0. Because executing C code could overwrite the
contents of R28 that normally contains the address of g we should read
it from TPIDR_EL0 instead when runtime.iscgo is set.
* proc/core: off-by-one error reading ELF core files
core.(*splicedMemory).ReadMemory checked the entry interval
erroneously when dealing with contiguous entries.
* terminal,service,proc/*: adds dump command (gcore equivalent)
Adds the `dump` command that creates a core file from the target process.
Backends will need to implement a new, optional, method `MemoryMap` that
returns a list of mapped memory regions.
Additionally the method `DumpProcessNotes` can be implemented to write out
to the core file notes describing the target process and its threads. If
DumpProcessNotes is not implemented `proc.Dump` will write a description of
the process and its threads in a OS/arch-independent format (that only Delve
understands).
Currently only linux/amd64 implements `DumpProcessNotes`.
Core files are only written in ELF, there is no minidump or macho-o writers.

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
TestStepConcurrentDirect will occasionally fail (7% of the time on my
setup) by either causing the target processs to execute an invalid
instruction or (more infrequently) by switching to the wrong thread.
Both of those are caused by receiving SIGTRAPs for threads hitting a
breakpoint after it has been removed (the thread hits the breakpoint,
we stop everything and remove the breakpoint and only after we receive
the signal).
Change native.(*nativeProcess).stop to handle SIGTRAPs that can't be
attributed to a breakpoint, a hardcoded breakpoint in the program's
text, or manual stops (and therefore are likely caused by phantom
breakpoint hits).

Since proc is supposed to work independently from the target
architecture it shouldn't use architecture-dependent types, like
uintptr. For example when reading a 64bit core file on a 32bit
architecture, uintptr will be 32bit but the addresses proc needs to
represent will be 64bit.
Adds features to support default file descriptor redirects for the
target process:
1. A new command line flag '--redirect' and '-r' are added to specify
file redirects for the target process
2. New syntax is added to the 'restart' command to specify file
redirects.
3. Interactive instances will check if stdin/stdout and stderr are
terminals and print a helpful error message if they aren't.
This flag allows users on UNIX systems to set the tty for the program
being debugged by Delve. This is useful for debugging command line
applications which need access to their own TTY, and also for
controlling the output of the debugged programs so that IDEs may open a
dedicated terminal to show the output for the process.
* proc: move defer breakpoint code into a function
Moves the code that sets a breakpoint on the first deferred function,
used by both next and StepOut, to its function.
* proc: implement reverse step/next/stepout
When the direction of execution is reversed (on a recording) Step, Next and
StepOut will behave similarly to their forward version. However there are
some subtle interactions between their behavior, prologue skipping, deferred
calls and normal calls. Specifically:
- when stepping backwards we need to set a breakpoint on the first
instruction after each CALL instruction, once this breakpoint is reached we
need to execute a single StepInstruction operation to reverse step into the
CALL.
- to insure that the prologue is skipped reverse next needs to check if it
is on the first instruction after the prologue, and if it is behave like
reverse stepout.
- there is no reason to set breakpoints on deferred calls when reverse
nexting or reverse stepping out, they will never be hit.
- reverse step out should generally place its breakpoint on the CALL
instruction that created the current stack frame (which will be the CALL
instruction immediately preceding the instruction at the return address).
- reverse step out needs to treat panic calls and deferreturn calls
specially.
* service,terminal: implement reverse step, next, stepout
* 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
* 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
proc.Next and proc.Step will call, after setting their temp
breakpoints, curthread.SetCurrentBreakpoint. This is intended to find
if one of the newly created breakpoints happens to be at the same
instruction that curthread is stopped at.
However SetCurrentBreakpoint is intended to be called after a Continue
and StepInstruction operation so it will also detect if curthread is
stopped one byte after a breakpoint.
If the instruction immediately preceeding the current instruction of
curthread happens to:
1. have one of the newly created temp breakpoints
2. be one byte long
SetCurrentBreakpoint will believe that we just hit that breakpoint and
therefore the instruction should be repeated, and thus rewind the PC of
curthread by 1.
We should distinguish between the two uses of SetCurrentBreakpoint and
disable the check for "just hit" breakpoints when inappropriate.
Fixes#1656
The repository is being switched from the personal account
github.com/derekparker/delve to the organization account
github.com/go-delve/delve. This patch updates imports and docs, while
preserving things which should not be changed such as my name in the
CHANGELOG and in TODO comments.
If proc.Step encounters a CALL instruction that points to an address
that isn't associated with any function it should still follow the
CALL.
The circumstances creating this problem do not normally occur, it was
encountered in the process of fixing a bug created by Go1.12.
This patch is a slight refactor to share more code used for genericprocess initialization. There will always be OS/backend specificinitialization, but as much as can be shared should be to preventduplicating of any logic (setting internal breakpoints, loading bininfo,etc).
Support for position independent executables (PIE) on the native linux
backend, the gdbserver backend on linux and the core backend.
Also implemented in the windows native backend, but it can't be tested
because go doesn't support PIE on windows yet.
This pull request makes several changes to delve to allow headless
instancess that are started with the --accept-multiclient flag to
keep running even if there is no connected client. Specifically:
1. Makes a headless instance started with --accept-multiclient quit
after one of the clients sends a Detach request (previously they
would never ever quit, which was a bug).
2. Changes proc/gdbserial and proc/native so that they mark the
Process as exited after they detach, even if they did not kill the
process during detach. This prevents bugs such as #1231 where we
attempt to manipulate a target process after we detached from it.
3. On non --accept-multiclient instances do not kill the target
process unless we started it or the client specifically requests
it (previously if the client did not Detach before closing the
connection we would kill the target process unconditionally)
4. Add a -c option to the quit command that detaches from the
headless server after restarting the target.
5. Change terminal so that, when attached to --accept-multiclient,
pressing ^C will prompt the user to either disconnect from the
server or pause the target process. Also extend the exit prompt to
ask if the user wants to keep the headless server running.
Implements #245, #952, #1159, #1231
Add a new method "Common" to proc.Process that returns a pointer to a
struct that pkg/proc can use to store its things, independently of the
backend.
This is used here to replace the AllGCache typecasts, it will also be
used to store the return values of the stepout breakpoint and the state
for injected function calls.
Conditional breakpoints with unmet conditions would cause next and step
to skip the line.
This breakpoint changes the Kind field of proc.Breakpoint from a single
value to a bit field, each breakpoint object can represent
simultaneously a user breakpoint and one internal breakpoint (of which
we have several different kinds).
The breakpoint condition for internal breakpoints is stored in the new
internalCond field of proc.Breakpoint so that it will not conflict with
user specified conditions.
The breakpoint setting code is changed to allow overlapping one
internal breakpoint on a user breakpoint, or a user breakpoint on an
existing internal breakpoint. All other combinations are rejected. The
breakpoint clearing code is changed to clear the UserBreakpoint bit and
only remove the phisical breakpoint if no other bits are set in the
Kind field. ClearInternalBreakpoints does the same thing but clearing
all bits that aren't the UserBreakpoint bit.
Fixes#844
Move some duplicate code, related to breakpoints, that was in both
backends into a single place.
This is in preparation to solve issue #844 (conditional breakpoints
make step and next fail) which will make this common breakpoint code
more complicated.
On macOS we can also stop when we receive a signal,
propagate this reason upwards to the client.
Also clear internal breakpoints after an unrecovered-panic since they
can not be reached anymore.
Fixes#872
