Linux PID attach feature causes application to segfault

Created by: natarajanragavendra

Describe the bug The PID attach feature on Linux causes an application segfault. However, the attach feature on the debug build of DynamoRio works correctly

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Pointer to a minimized application (ideally the source code for it and instructions on which toolchain it was built with)
int main()
{
    int array [16384];

    for (int j = 0; j < 16384; j++) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 16384; i++) {
            array [i] = i;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

  1. Precise command line for running the application. ./a.out

  2. Exact output or incorrect behavior.

$ ./a.out & /mnt/benchmarks/raga/dimprint/exports/bin64/drrun -attach $(pidof a.out) [1] 65099 [1]+ Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./a.out

Please also answer these questions:

  • What happens when you run without any client? The application segfaults
  • What happens when you run with debug build ("-debug" flag to drrun/drconfig/drinject)?

The application and PID attach work as expected

$ ./a.out & /mnt/benchmarks/raga/dimprint/exports/bin64/drrun -debug -attach $(pidof a.out) [1] 65106 <Starting application /mnt/benchmarks/raga/a.out (65106)> <Initial options = -no_dynamic_options -code_api -stack_size 56K -signal_stack_size 32K -max_elide_jmp 0 -max_elide_call 0 -no_inline_ignored_syscalls -native_exec_default_list '' -no_native_exec_managed_code -no_indcall2direct > <Stopping application /mnt/benchmarks/raga/a.out (65106)> [1]+ Done ./a.out

Expected behavior DynamoRio should attach to the specified PID
