Subject: Better backtrace from core dump
Hi,
in GitLab we have jobs which run BIND system tests on different
operating system, mostly in Docker on Debian 10 but too in KVM virtual
machines for non-Linux operating systems. If the test produces core
dump, we generate backtrace out of it while still in the CI.
For all C libraries but for musl we get reasonable backtraces, e.g.
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/jobs/970585, but for Alpine
Linux 3.11 (musl 1.1.24-r2 & GCC 9.2.0-r4) we get something like this
(https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/jobs/970568):
warning: Can't read pathname for load map: No error information.
Core was generated by
`/builds/isc-projects/bind9/bin/named/.libs/lt-named -D statistics-ns3
-X named.'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

This is how we generate the backtrace:
"${top_builddir}/libtool" --mode=execute gdb --batch
--command=run.gdb --core="$coredump" -- "$binary"
The GDB command can be either 'bt' or 'thread apply all bt full' (for
more on the GDB invocation, see
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/bin/tests/system/run.sh.in#L268).
CFLAGS used:
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -O1 -g -Wall -Wextra
This is what we install on top of the stock Alpine Linux 3.11 Docker
image:
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/images/-/blob/main/docker/bind9/alpine-template/Dockerfile.
Are there other packages, we should get into the image to get better
backtraces?
Should we use something else than GDB?
Should we add some compiler flags?
Thanks,
Michal
