Missing debugging symbols

Open technicalpickles opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

We're trying to diagnose some hung processes. We're able to use signal handling to get ruby backtraces (ie sidekiq's TTIN handler), but the problem seems to be one level deeper, ie C. The processes are multithreaded, so we need to get the state of every

SIGABRT/SIGEV are able to trigger ruby dumping it's own

These signals (and others) do also trigger a kernel core dump. If I try to analyze the core with gdb after the fact, it doesn't appear there are any debugging symbols present:

Reading symbols from /usr/lib/fullstaq-ruby/versions/3.2.2-jemalloc/bin/ruby...
(No debugging symbols found in /usr/lib/fullstaq-ruby/versions/3.2.2-jemalloc/bin/ruby)

To Reproduce Linux distribution: Ubuntu 22.04 Package name: fullstaq-ruby-3.2.2

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Enable dumping cores: ulimit -c unlimited
  2. Run command ruby -e 'puts Process.pid; sleep 10000' &, then kill -s ABRT <pid>
  3. gdb $(which ruby) core (assuming kernel.core_pattern=core)

Note: this is running an x86_64 docker image on an M1, so I a fair amount of output is due to that rather than debugging symbols.

Additional context

Interestingly, I am able to get C level backtrace when using kill -s SEGV. However, it seems to only include the backtrace of the thread responding, not multiple threads.
