updates vendored version of x86asm, adds a symbol lookup function to
pass to the disassembler.
This will show global symbol names in the disassembly like go tool
objdump does.
Registers XMM1 and XMM2 get sometimes clobbered between the time we set
them and the panic. There is no guarantee that they won't in the go
spec so we shouldn't expect any register to keep its value. However
since this seems to only affect 1 and 2 let's try to use 9 and 10
instead.
Every time we read an empty string we accidentally issue a read for 0
bytes at address 0, this is fine for real memory but the core file
reader doesn't like it.
Fixes an issue reported on the mailing list.
If a breakpoint is hit close to process death on a thread that isn't
the group leader the process could die while we are trying to stop it.
This can be easily reproduced by having the goroutine that's executing
main.main (which will almost always run on the thread group leader)
wait for a second goroutine before exiting, then setting a breakpoint
on the second goroutine and stepping through it (see TestIssue1101 in
proc_test.go).
When stepping over the return instruction of main.f the deferred
wg.Done() call will be executed which will cause the main goroutine to
resume and proceed to exit. Both the temporary breakpoint on wg.Done
and the temporary breakpoint on the return address of main.f will be in
close proximity to main.main calling os.Exit() and causing the death of
the thread group leader.
Under these circumstances the call to native.(*Thread).waitFast in
native.(*Thread).halt can hang forever due to a bug similar to
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12702 (see comment in
native.(*Thread).wait for an explanation).
Replacing waitFast with a normal wait work in most circumstances,
however, besides the performance hit, it looks like in this
circumstances trapWait sometimes receives a spurious SIGTRAP on the
dying group leader which would cause the subsequent call to wait in
halt to accidentally reap the process without noting that it did exit.
Instead this patch removes the call to wait from halt and instead calls
trapWait in a loop in setCurrentBreakpoints until all threads are set
to running=false. This is also a better fix than the workaround to
ESRCH error while setting current breakpoints implemented in 94b50d.
Fixes#1101
The formula is broken and produces an endless stream of duplicate bug
reports yet nobody steps up to fix it. Using the formula isn't
necessary and hasn't been in almost a year, the maintainers of delve
aren't using it and the original maintainer of the formula vacated.
If the last entry of the package path contains a '.' the corresponding
DIEs for its types will replace the '.' character with '%2e'. We must
do the same when resolving the package path of the concrete type of an
interface variable.
Fixes#1137
Previously the file handle for the newly created default config was
being closed and thrown away as opposed to returned to the caller to
finish setting up config for the rest of the process. This patch changes
to return a handle to the newly created config so setup can happen as
normal. This fixes a bug where Delve can crash on first run when a
config is not present on the system.
Fixes#1129
debug_info entries can use DW_AT_abstract_origin to inherit the
attributes of another entry, supporting this attribute is necessary to
support DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine.
Go, starting with 1.10, emits DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine entries when
inlining is enabled.
* Handle race between fork and task_for_pid
On macOS a call to fork and a subsequent call to task_for_pid will race each other. This is because the macOS kernel assigns a new proc_t structure early but the new task, thread and uthread come much later. The function exec_mach_imgact in the XNU sources contains this logic.
In a system under load or one with delays in fork processing (i.e. various security software), task_for_pid as currently called by Delve often returns the parent task. This can be seen by printing out the task number around line 86. In a normal system we would see three calls:
-> ~/go/bin/dlv --listen=localhost:59115 --headless=true --api-version=2 --backend=native exec ./___main_go --
Task: 9731
Task: 9731
Task: 9731
API server listening at: 127.0.0.1:59115
This is the result on a system where the race is lost:
-> ~/go/bin/dlv --listen=localhost:59115 --headless=true --api-version=2 --backend=native exec ./___main_go --
Task: 8707
Task: 10499
Task: 10499
could not launch process: could not get thread count
In this latter case, task 8707 is the parent task. The child task of 10499 was desired and hence the error.
This code change checks to make sure the returned task is not that of the parent. If it is, it retries. It's possible other macOS reported Delve issues are the result of this failed race.
* proc: correct formatting
Much like the bug in issue #1031 and commit
f6f6f0bf13e4c708cb501202b83a6327a0f00e31 pointers can also escape to
the heap and then have a zero address (and no children) when we
autodereference.
1. Mark autodereferenced escaped variables with a 0 address as
unreadable.
2. Add guards to the pretty printers for unsafe.Pointer and pointers.
Fixes#1075
Depending on how the runtime schedules our goroutines we can get
unlucky and have the first call to runtime.newstack we intercept be for
a different goroutine (usually the garbage collector).
Only check stacktraces that happen on the same goroutine that executed
main.main.
* command/terminal: allow restart to change process args
Add -args flag to "restart" command. For example, "restart -args a b c" will
pass args a b c to the new process.
Add "-c" flag to pass the checkpoint name. This is needed to disambiguate the
checkpoint name and arglist.
Reverted unnecessary changes.
* Applied reviewer comments.
Vendored argv.
Change the syntax of restart. When the target is is in recording mode, it always
interprets the args as a checkpoint. Otherwise, it interprets the args as
commandline args. The flag "-args" is still there, to handle the case in which
the user wants to pass an empty args on restart.
* Add restartargs.go.
Change "restart -args" to "restart -noargs" to clarify that this flag is used to
start a process with an empty arg.
The runtime calls into g0 in many places, not necessarily using
runtime.systemstack or runtime.asmcgocall.
One example of this is the call to runtime.newstack inside
runtime.morestack.
If we stop the process while one goroutine is executing
runtime.newstack we would be unable to fully scan its stack because we
don't know that we have to switch back to the goroutine stack after
runtime.newstack.
Instead of tracking down every possible way that the runtime switches
to g0 we switch to the goroutine stack immediately after the top of the
stack, unless cgo is being executed on the systemstack.
Fixes#1066
Adds a configuration option (show-location-expr) that when activated
will cause the whatis command to also print the DWARF location
expression for a variable.
So far we have evaluated the locspec "+0" the same way we evaluate all
"+n" locspecs, this means that we turn the current PC into a file:line
pair, then we turn back the file:line into a PC address.
Normally this is harmless, however all autogenerated code returns the
source position "<autogenerated>:1" which resolves back to the very
first autogenerated instruction in the code.
This messes up the behaviour of the "disassemble" command which uses
the locspec "+0" to figure out what code to disassemble if no arguments
are passed.
We should make +0 always resolve to the current PC (of the given scope)
so that clients can use +0 as a default locspec.
