gdb: change type of general_symbol_info::m_section to int
The binary provided with bug 32165 [1] has 36139 ELF sections. GDB crashes on it with (note that my GDB is build with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1: $ ./gdb -nx -q --data-directory=data-directory ./vmlinux Reading symbols from ./vmlinux... (No debugging symbols found in ./vmlinux) (gdb) info func /usr/include/c++/14.2.1/debug/vector:508: In function: std::debug::vector<_Tp, _Allocator>::reference std::debug::vector<_Tp, _Allocator>::operator[](size_type) [with _Tp = long unsigned int; _Allocator = std::allocator<long unsigned int>; reference = long unsigned int&; size_type = long unsigned int] Error: attempt to subscript container with out-of-bounds index -29445, but container only holds 36110 elements. Objects involved in the operation: sequence "this" @ 0x514000007340 { type = std::debug::vector<unsigned long, std::allocator<unsigned long> >; } The crash occurs here: zephyrproject-rtos#3 0x00007ffff5e334c3 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:79 zephyrproject-rtos#4 0x00007ffff689afc4 in __gnu_debug::_Error_formatter::_M_error (this=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/gcc/gcc/libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/debug.cc:1320 zephyrproject-rtos#5 0x0000555561119a16 in std::__debug::vector<unsigned long, std::allocator<unsigned long> >::operator[] (this=0x514000007340, __n=18446744073709522171) at /usr/include/c++/14.2.1/debug/vector:508 zephyrproject-rtos#6 0x0000555562e288e8 in minimal_symbol::value_address (this=0x5190000bb698, objfile=0x514000007240) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.c:517 zephyrproject-rtos#7 0x0000555562e5a131 in global_symbol_searcher::expand_symtabs (this=0x7ffff0f5c340, objfile=0x514000007240, preg=std::optional [no contained value]) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.c:4983 zephyrproject-rtos#8 0x0000555562e5d2ed in global_symbol_searcher::search (this=0x7ffff0f5c340) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.c:5189 zephyrproject-rtos#9 0x0000555562e5ffa4 in symtab_symbol_info (quiet=false, exclude_minsyms=false, regexp=0x0, kind=FUNCTION_DOMAIN, t_regexp=0x0, from_tty=1) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.c:5361 zephyrproject-rtos#10 0x0000555562e6131b in info_functions_command (args=0x0, from_tty=1) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.c:5525 That is, at this line of `minimal_symbol::value_address`, where `objfile->section_offsets` is an `std::vector`: return (CORE_ADDR (this->unrelocated_address ()) + objfile->section_offsets[this->section_index ()]); A section index of -29445 is suspicious. The minimal_symbol at play here is: (top-gdb) p m_name $1 = 0x521001de10af "_sinittext" So I restarted debugging, breaking on: (top-gdb) b general_symbol_info::set_section_index if $_streq("_sinittext", m_name) And I see that weird -29445 value: (top-gdb) frame #0 general_symbol_info::set_section_index (this=0x525000082390, idx=-29445) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/symtab.h:611 611 { m_section = idx; } But going up one frame, the section index is 36091: (top-gdb) frame zephyrproject-rtos#1 0x0000555562426526 in minimal_symbol_reader::record_full (this=0x7ffff0ead560, name="_sinittext", copy_name=false, address=-2111475712, ms_type=mst_text, section=36091) at /home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/minsyms.c:1228 1228 msymbol->set_section_index (section); It seems like the problem is just that the type used for the section index (short) is not big enough. Change from short to int. If somebody insists, we could even go long long / int64_t, but I doubt it's necessary. With that fixed, I get: (gdb) info func All defined functions: Non-debugging symbols: 0xffffffff81000000 _stext 0xffffffff82257000 _sinittext 0xffffffff822b4ebb _einittext [1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32165 Change-Id: Icb1c3de9474ff5adef7e0bbbf5e0b67b279dee04 Reviewed-By: Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com>
