Bug ID: 17056
Summary: gdbserver assumes 32-bit binary if /proc/PID/exe can't
be read
Product: gdb
Version: 7.7
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: server
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: qartis at gmail dot com
Under some circuimstances, executables packed with UPX (prior to version 3.05)
may have an invalid /proc/PID/exe link, which causes gdbserver to assume the
executable is 32-bit. This only happens when gdbserver is attaching to an
existing (64-bit) process -- gdbserver reports the correct target architecture
if it spawns the executable itself.
(gdb) target remote 1.2.3.4:1337
warning: Selected architecture i386:x86-64 is not compatible with reported
target architecture i386
A temporary workaround is to add the following at the top of
linux_pid_exe_is_elf_64_file(), which forces gdbserver to assume the process is
64-bit:
*machine = EM_X86_64;
return 1;
