From 6d523660e9f9f18e6c497d2d882c644e9c1b1c29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Torvald Riegel Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2017 14:54:49 +0100 Subject: Fix mutex pretty printer test and pretty printer output. This fixes the mutex pretty printer so that, if the owner ID isn't recorded (such as in the current lock elision implementation), "Owner ID" will be shown as "Unknown" instead of 0. It also changes the mutex printer output so that it says "Acquired" instead of "Locked". The mutex tests are updated accordingly. In addition, this adds a paragraph to the "Known issues" section of the printers README explaining that the printer output isn't guaranteed to cover every detail. 2017-01-14 Martin Galvan * README.pretty-printers (Known issues): Warn about printers not always covering everything. * nptl/nptl-printers.py (MutexPrinter): Change output. * nptl/test-mutex-printers.py: Fix test and adapt to changed output. --- ChangeLog | 7 +++++++ README.pretty-printers | 7 ++++++- nptl/nptl-printers.py | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++------------- nptl/test-mutex-printers.py | 17 ++++++++++------- 4 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 47fccc7642..9573c5c4b2 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +2017-01-14 Martin Galvan + + * README.pretty-printers (Known issues): Warn about printers not + always covering everything. + * nptl/nptl-printers.py (MutexPrinter): Change output. + * nptl/test-mutex-printers.py: Fix test and adapt to changed output. + 2017-01-20 Stefan Liebler * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/htm.h: Adjust comments. diff --git a/README.pretty-printers b/README.pretty-printers index a2536cad80..2522cb858d 100644 --- a/README.pretty-printers +++ b/README.pretty-printers @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ However, with a pretty printer gdb will output something like this: (gdb) print mutex $1 = pthread_mutex_t = { Type = Normal, - Status = Unlocked, + Status = Not acquired, Robust = No, Shared = No, Protocol = Priority protect, @@ -145,6 +145,11 @@ any changes to the target code must also update the corresponding printers.
