commit e379cee61f3890e535e995828e8846b020ef2a32 Author: Pedro Alves Date: Fri Jan 5 18:26:18 2018 +0000 Fix regression: cannot start with LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so (PR gdb/18653#c7) At https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18653#c7, Andrew reports that the fix for PR gdb/18653 made GDB useless if you preload libSegFault.so, because GDB internal-errors on startup: $ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c:64: internal-error: unexpected signal handler A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Aborted (core dumped) $ The internal error comes from the code saving the signal dispositions inherited from gdb's parent: (top-gdb) bt #0 0x000000000056b001 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...) (file=0xaf5f38 "src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c", line=64, fmt=0xaf5f18 "unexpected signal handler") at src/gdb/common/errors.c:54 #1 0x00000000005752c9 in save_original_signals_state() () at src/gdb/common/signals-state-save-restore.c:64 #2 0x00000000007425de in captured_main_1(captured_main_args*) (context=0x7fffffffd860) at src/gdb/main.c:509 #3 0x0000000000743622 in captured_main(void*) (data=0x7fffffffd860) at src/gdb/main.c:1145 During symbol reading, cannot get low and high bounds for subprogram DIE at 24065. #4 0x00000000007436f9 in gdb_main(captured_main_args*) (args=0x7fffffffd860) at src/gdb/main.c:1171 #5 0x0000000000413acd in main(int, char**) (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd968) at src/gdb/gdb.c:32 This commit downgrades the internal error to a warning. You'll get instead: ~~~ $ LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so gdb warning: Found custom handler for signal 11 (Segmentation fault) preinstalled.
