Here is a kernel patch to support multithreaded coredumps being worked on by Mark Gross (Intel, mgross@unix-os.sc.intel.com) and Vamsi Krishna (IBM, vamsi_krishna@in.ibm.com). Multi-threaded core dump patch for 2.4.17: - multithreaded coredump functionality is enabled by a new sysctl core_dumps_threads. (0 = off, 1 = on). - Core dump is started by the first thread which gets the signal - Threads are located by walking the entire task list looking for tasks with matching mm as that seems to be the only reliable way to locate other threads of a given task. In fact, IMO this is the only way until all user space libraries migrate to using thread groups provides by linux kernel (CLONE_THREAD). - Other threads are prevented from executing while core dump is in progress to improve the accuracy of the dumps. This is done without changing the state of the task. We set cpus_allowed in task struct to be 0 to stop a task from being scheduled and reset it to -1 for resume execution. This has the advantage to not depending on user space at all for correct functioning. IMO sending SIGSTOP to stop other threads does not work if the process is being run under a debugger. The only possible issue with using cpus_allowed is that we could lose task affinities once a core dump is taken. However, this is not a big deal as the task is going to die anyway fairly soon, which is why the dump was taken in the first place. - Support of SSE registers in the core dump - Code cleanups/reorg - breakup into smaller functions. Main function elf_core_dump() reorganized/cleaned up by moving filling up of elfhdr, prstatus, psinfo and notes to separate functions to make this very long function a little bit more readable and to reuse some code with the function dumping status of other threads. - Easy to port to other architectures. It just needs ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REG - to copy task specific registers ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS - to copy floating point registers and ELF_CORE_COPY_XFPREGS - to copy extended fp registers(SSE) if present ELF_CORE_SYNC - to sync up fpu status of other processors in SMP systems if needed by a particular architecture. Read the patch for more details. - We started with the tcore patches by John Jones and Jason Villarreal as base which were then heavily reworked. This patch is entirely different from theirs in pretty much all aspects. Current TODO list: - May be remove reschedule_other_cpus in suspend_other_threads and do this as part of ELF_CORE_SYNC. Rescheduling the other CPUs the way the current patch work may be over kill for accurate core files. Any thoughts? - Port to 2.5.x, specially the logic to stop other threads from executing while dumping is in progress. - Make the loop looking for other threads a little shorter by counting the number of tasks found and breaking out of for_each_task loop when it is equal to current->mm->mm_users. Some usage notes on this patch: GDB 5.1 works with the core files produced, but only for Red Hat 7.2, and only if the /lib/i686/libpthread.so library is hidden. It turns out that for IA32 RedHat, that there exists 2 libpthread.so files. If the /lib/i686/libpthread.so is loaded then the gdb post mortem debug will not work. We don't understand what's going on here, but its real. Hide the /lib/i686/libpthread.so such that the /lib/libpthread.so gets loaded at debug time, and then debugger will work with the core file. Any insights into this is very much welcome. This behavior is very mysterious to us. Thanks to Bharata B Rao(IBM) for helping with capturing FPU registers and testing and Suparna Bhattacharya(IBM) for design discussions. Thanks to Tony Luck (Intel) and Jun Nakajima (Intel) for helping with the review and design of the suspend_other_threads implementation. This is currently i386 only, it has been unit tested on 1P-P4, 2P-P4, and 4P-PIII systems. I haven't seen any failures so far, YMMV. The patch is against kernel version 2.4.17. We will port this to latest versions of the kernel if there is any interest. Regards.. Vamsi. Vamsi Krishna S. Linux Technology Center, IBM Software Lab, Bangalore.
