selftests/bpf: Print backtrace on SIGSEGV in test_progs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Due to various bugs in tests clean up code (usually), if host system is
misconfigured, it happens that test_progs will just crash in the middle of
running a test with little to no indication of where and why the crash
happened. For cases where coredump is not readily available (e.g., inside
a CI), it's very helpful to have a stack trace, which lead to crash, to be
printed out. This change adds a signal handler that will capture and print out
symbolized backtrace:

  $ sudo ./test_progs -t mmap
  test_mmap:PASS:skel_open_and_load 0 nsec
  test_mmap:PASS:bss_mmap 0 nsec
  test_mmap:PASS:data_mmap 0 nsec
  Caught signal Rust-for-Linux#11!
  Stack trace:
  ./test_progs(crash_handler+0x18)[0x42a888]
  /lib64/libpthread.so.0(+0xf5d0)[0x7f2aab5175d0]
  ./test_progs(test_mmap+0x3c0)[0x41f0a0]
  ./test_progs(main+0x160)[0x407d10]
  /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x7f2aab15d3d5]
  ./test_progs[0x407ebc]
  [1]    1988412 segmentation fault (core dumped)  sudo ./test_progs -t mmap

Unfortunately, glibc's symbolization support is unable to symbolize static
functions, only global ones will be present in stack trace. But it's still a
step forward without adding extra libraries to get a better symbolization.
