The test program spawns ten threads, each of which do ten fork/waitpid sequences. The cause of the problem was that when one of the fork children exited before the corresponding fork parent could initiate its waitpid for that child, a SIGCHLD and/or SIGSTOP was delivered and interrupted a fork or waitpid in another thread. The fix was to wrap the system calls in a loop to retry the call if it was interrupted, like: do { pid = fork (); } while (pid == -1 && errno == EINTR); Since this is a Linux-only test I figure it is OK to use errno and EINTR. I tried a number of alternative fixes using SIG_IGN, SA_RESTART, pthread_sigblock, and bsd_signal, but none of these worked as well. Tested on Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-03-16 Don Breazeal * gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.c (thread_forks): Retry fork and waitpid on interrupted system call errors. * gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp: (do_test): Use with_timeout_factor to increase timeout to 90. --- diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog index aa5422b..62413b7 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +2016-03-16 Don Breazeal + + * gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.c (thread_forks): + Retry fork and waitpid on interrupted system call errors. + * gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp (do_test): + Use with_timeout_factor to increase timeout by factor of 10. + 2016-03-15 Don Breazeal * gdb.cp/scope-err.cc: New test program. diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.c b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.c index fc64d93..c169e18 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.c +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.c @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include /* Number of threads.
