[Xen-devel] Xen 4.11.1: gdbsx fails



Greetings:

I've encountered a problem running gdb + gdbsx on Xen 4.11.1, running Linux kernel 4.18.0-15 on Ubuntu 18.04. Pertinent info is below.

I've observed this behavior with gdb 8.0, 8.1.1 and 8.2. I've also seen it on Xen 4.9.2. In short, something is broken with my system, but I don't know how to investigate.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Here's my guest config file:

$ cat xen-vms/ub1804-dev.hvm
type = "hvm"
name = "ub18-dev-work"

# Initial and max memory allocation (MB)
memory = 2048
maxmem = 2048

vcpus = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
# values: disabled, mixed, external, limited
altp2m = "mixed" 
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/ubuntu-vg/xen_ubuntu_dev,xvda,w'
        ,'file:/home/matt/iso/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot = 'c' # hard disk (c) / cdrom (d)
console = 1
_on_poweroff_ = "destroy"
on_reboot   = "restart"
on_crash    = "preserve"


Here are the two usages of gdbsx (both from Dom0). Note that domain 2 is 64 bit.

# xl list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0 30098     8     r-----    8724.5
ub18-dev-work                                2  2040     1     -b----      24.9

This is a sanity check....
# gdbsx -c 2 64 0

This is the actual usage that fails
# gdbsx -a 2 64 3333
Listening on port 3333
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
readchar: Got EOF
Detaching from guest
Exiting.. Remote side has terminated connection


And here's the corresponding usage of gdb that led to the failure in gdbsx (again, from Dom0):

$ gdb -q
