This is the command used when the `k` argument is passed to gdb. There
is nothing to do once this is received other than "kill" as quickly as
possible. The absolute way to ensure this is using SIGKILL.
No way to do a `r` command after `k` yet, but might be possible.
if an application is using `exit` then it is usually a faulting
condition rather than cleanly exiting. When cleanly exiting
applications will typically use `exit_group` instead.
`exit` is useful to quickly cause a single thread to exit in a
multi-threaded environment as well, where `exit_group` will take down
the entire process group.
FEX had implemented this in a way that would do a double Stop signal,
cascading to a crash. When tied in to a crash handler, this could get
caught in a weird way.
This /should/ fix#4198, but I can't confirm locally. It looks like in
that issue that the steam install is slightly buggered (as evident by
missing srt-logger and steam-runtime-identify-library-abi).
This is a bug regardless so fix it and create a unittest. If it doesn't
fix the user's bug, then we have another workaround that will definitely
solve it.
clone3 was added in Linux 5.3 but our minimum spec is 5.0. Additionally
the Raspberry Pi 5 kernel seems to complain about clone3 for some
reason?
Just use clone instead of clone3
Now that all the threading behaviour has been correctly separated/moved
to the frontend, these functions serve no purpose.
- Instead of using RunUntilExit, all threads can use `ExecuteThread`
directly, since there's nothing special about the primary thread now.
- This also removes the public function definition of `ExecutionThread` since that was only used for threading logic.
- Instead of using an exit handler, just do the same cleanup after
`ExecuteThread` has returned.
- Just make gdbserver is cleaned up early if it exists since it may
want to send some things to the connected gdb instance before
threads are exited.
These are all frontend constructs with mostly deprecated constraints.
WaitingToStart isn't used anymore, Running is effectively always true
(and behaviour has changed that if a thread is alive, it's running).
The only one that remains is `ThreadSleeping` which is only handled in
the frontend, and there was some conflation between ThreadSleeping and
Running which was hard to gauge. So delete `Running` and
`WaitingToStart`, but move `ThreadSleeping` to the frontend.
Now that most of the thread tracking is in the frontend, change this
over to building the thread execution handler on the parent thread.
Removes a memory allocation/free pair, and removes the copy of each
variable in the child thread.
We were using this variable for two things, letting the frontend signal
to the backend that it wants to start executing once the thread is
created, and also for handling thread pausing. These two features are
conflated with one another and actually makes things more confusing.
- Move StartRunning/StartPaused to the frontend, because its a construct
that only needs to exist in the frontend
- Adds a FEX::HLE::ThreadStateObject CV for handling pausing, which only
needs to exist for gdbserver
FEXCore hasn't been returning anything other than EXIT_SHUTDOWN for a
long time, so this ended up just moving data around for no reason.
This isn't going to be used for further GdbServer work anyway, so just
completely remove it.
This is a Linux construct, move it to the frontend.
This is going to need some changes in the future since exit_group and
exit syscalls are supposed to behave differently than how FEX implements
it. For now just move it to the frontend.
GDB has two ways to read the registers. One way is reading the full
GDBContextDefinition, which matches the layout in `BuildTargetXML`.
The other way is to read the individual elements out of
GDBContextDefinition.
These two code paths were independently implemented. Instead generate in
one location and use in either location.

This currently happens in two locations, so split it out.
There's some behaviour here where if the TID isn't found, then it
returns the ParentThread of the process. This is working around a bug in
either FEX's gdbserver or binaryninja. Leave it currently before we
figure out what's wrong.

Previous `S AA` logic is legacy for non-multithreaded applications. This
newer command gives more information about what occured and in what
thread id.
Alloc::OSAllocator uses a TLS variable of the thread object so it can
use a forkable mutex plus a deferring signal section. This was setup
when the FEXCore "ExecutionThread" function is called, which is a bit
awkward and is an artifact from when the thread creation was mixed
between the frontend and the backend.
Instead let the frontend inform the backend when to install the TLS
variable.
This is one step required to make GdbServer work correctly again since
the thread initialization and pausing is awkward today.
This was working around an edge case in the GdbServer where a thread was
getting created while the process was shutting down. This edge case is
getting removed so get rid of it.
Needed by Discord, part of the Chromium sandbox code. The warning still
triggers because Chromium asks for CLONE_VM on x86_64, but that can be
safely ignored (CLONE_FS is the one that matters).
Apparently Chromium/CEF can chroot or otherwise sandbox the filesystem
away before forking and checking for directory FDs, making /proc
inaccessible, which means we can't stat it for our inode check, breaking
the hiding.
So, double down on things and do what Chromium does: open an fd to /proc
ahead of time, so that continues to work. Then we use it to update the
inode of our RootFS fd instead, and finally, also do the /proc fd itself
to hide that one too.
We also don't need to check the st_dev of /proc more than once, since
that's not expected to change anyway.
Fixes cefsimple.
Chromium/CEF has code that iterates through all open FDs and bails if
any are directories (apparently a sandboxing sanity check). To avoid
this check, we need to hide the RootFS FD. This requires hooking all the
getdents variants to skip that entry.
To keep the runtime cost low, we keep track of the inode of
/proc/self/fd/<rootfs fd> (note: not the RootFS inode, the inode of the
magic symlink in /proc), and first do a quick check on that. If it
matches, then we stat the dirfd we are reading and check against the
procfs device, to complete the inode equality check.
As an extra benefit, this also fixes code that tries to iterate and
close all/extra FDs and ends up closing the RootFS fd.
From prep commit 511103ee5dcc9474b0b7468c05f61ce10fea4393.
Now that the frontend is setup, we can remove the temporary TLS
variables and use the ThreadObject directly.
We were creating a copy of the FEXCore::Core::CPUState object when we
didn't need to. We can pass the host thread's CPUState frame through to
the creation handlers since it's read-only (so modify it to be const).
We then just move the RAX and RSP setting to /after/ the CreateThread
handling instead of before.
This reduces stack usage from ~1392 bytes to ~80 bytes.
Since the frontend has changed to informing the backend if AVX is
supported, there is no reason to feed that configuration back in to
SignalDelegator from the backend.
Instead inform the SignalDelegator directly in the frontend instead of
this now weird round-about path.
