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.
