From 933aebfae6b1a2b83c3eb958ebf6e43fc7fdaed1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Hayward Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 10:58:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Testsuite: Ensure interrupt-daemon-attach doesn't run forever Looking at the AArch64 buildbot, I noticed about two dozen old instances of interrupt-daemon-attach taking up a full 100% cpu each. If the test fails then the test binary relies on an alarm to ensure it dies after 60 seconds. As per the Linux man page for alarm: Alarms created by alarm() ... are not inherited by children created via fork. Update the test to add an alarm in the child and also put a sleep in the child loop so it does not constantly consume cpu. Note I haven't managed to re-create why the test failed. This fix will just stop it hanging and consuming cpu when it does. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c (main): Add alarm and sleep in child. --- gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog | 5 +++++ gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c | 11 +++++++++-- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog index e283f68..3de21c5 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog +++ b/gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2019-03-27 Alan Hayward + + * gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c (main): Add alarm and sleep + in child. + 2019-03-26 Andrew Burgess * gdb.python/py-prettyprint.c (struct container) : New diff --git a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c index 5dc8443..e8dddf8 100644 --- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c +++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/interrupt-daemon-attach.c @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ main () break; default: + /* In parent process. */ while (1) { marker (); @@ -50,12 +51,18 @@ main () } } + /* In child process. */ + + /* Alarms are not inherited by child processes.
