elf: fix multithreaded program core dumping on arm
Fix the multithread program core thread message error.
This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them.
The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status.
The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function.
If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS,
elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing. Then the core file will not
have the register message of thread.
So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS
doesn't define.
The following is how to reproduce this issue:
cat 1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>
void td1(void * i)
{
while (1)
{
printf ("1\n");
sleep (1);
}
return;
}
void td2(void * i)
{
while (1)
{
printf ("2\n");
sleep (1);
}
return;
}
int
main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[])
{
pthread_t t1,t2;
pthread_create(&t1, NULL, (void*)td1, NULL);
pthread_create(&t2, NULL, (void*)td2, NULL);
sleep (10);
assert(0);
return (0);
}
arm-xxx-gcc -g -lpthread 1.c -o 1
copy 1.c and 1 to a arm board.
Goto this board.
ulimit -c 1800000
./1
# ./1
1
2
1
...
...
1
1: 1.c:37: main: Assertion `0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Then you can get a core file.
gdb 1 core.xxx
Without the patch:
(gdb) info threads
3 process 909 0x00000000 in ?? ()
2 process 908 0x00000000 in ?? ()
* 1 process 907 0x4a6e2238 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
You can found that the pc of 909 and 908 is 0x00000000.
With the patch:
(gdb) info threads
3 process 885 0x4a749974 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6
2 process 884 0x4a749974 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6
* 1 process 883 0x4a6e2238 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
The pc of 885 and 884 is right.
