I was looking into plasmashell crashes and subsequent drkonqi and gdb crashes when creating traces as described at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2252382 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31122 I noticed that when qt5, glib2, and glibc debuginfo packages weren't installed, drkonqi and kioslave5 didn't crash when I created a trace in drkonqi, but gdb crashed with a segmentation fault and drkonqi showed that the crash information couldn't be generated. gdb crashed in block::scope in frame 13 of the following trace. Core was generated by `/usr/bin/gdb -nw -n -batch -x /tmp/drkonqi.MYQAJG -x /tmp/drkonqi.ZWupqQ -p 622'. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0x00005555689f9ebc in operator() (__closure=<optimized out>, msg=0x55556a704880 "0x5555689fa140 ") at ../../gdb/bt-utils.c:59 59

I reproduced the plasmashell crash when using Firefox to watch Instagram videos which was the original problem https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2216067 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471248 I set TimeoutSec=1000sec in /usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service to work around the problem I reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2252382 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31122#c3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478287 Using Plasma 5.27.10 on Wayland with KF 5.113.0 and Qt 5.15.12 without the qt5-* debuginfo packages installed, I attached gdb to plasmashell with gdb -p $(pidof plasmashell) I played Instagram story videos in Firefox 123.0a1 on Wayland. plasmashell crashed. I ran bt in gdb which then crashed in block::scope.

gdb didn't crash when I created the trace in drkonqi though, so the problem didn't always happen. The gdb crash didn't happen if the qt5-*-debuginfo packages were installed. drkonqi appeared. I got the trace of the plasmashell crash in __cxxabiv1::__dynamic_cast at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471248#c8. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I reproduced the plasmashell crash and gdb crash in drkonqi as follows without qt5-*, glib2, glibc debuginfo packages installed. 1. Log in to Plasma on Wayland 2. Start Konsole 3. gdb -p $(pidof plasmashell) 4. In gdb, run c 5. Open a new tab in Konsole 6. In the new Konsole tab, pkill -6 plasmashell 7. in gdb, run q 8. If drkonqi appears, select Developer Information in drkonqi. 9. If drkonqi doesn't appear because plasmashell restarted before drkonqi started, repeat 3-8 until it does Actual Results: gdb crashed in block::scope creating traces of plasmashell crashes when Qt debug packages weren't installed Expected Results: gdb should not have crashed and should have created the plasmashell trace. I reported this problem at https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31226
Created attachment 2007991 [details] Full trace of all threads of the second gdb crash mentioned

(In reply to Matt Fagnani from comment #2) > My upstream report was marked as a duplicate of > https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31128 which has a patch > checking for a null block pointer > https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git; > h=bc23ea51f8a83e9524dfb553baa8baacb29e68a9 While I haven't been able to reproduce this bug, given the backtrace that you show in an earlier comment, the upstream patch does look like a possible (even likely) fix for this bug. I've backported the patch and have made a release for Fedora 39. Please give it a try an let me know if it fixes the problem for you. As for bug 2252382 and bug 2252514, it appears that you were using gdb-13.2-11. I'm hoping that gdb-14.1 fixes the problem(s) that you were seeing in early December.
FEDORA-2024-6751a6f242 has been pushed to the Fedora 39 testing repository.

Thanks. I updated my F39 installation to Rawhide in the meantime in which I upgraded to gdb-14.1-2.fc39. I used the steps I gave with pkill -6 plasmashell three times. gdb didn't crash when I created traces of plasmashell in drkonqi. I think the patch should fix the gdb crashes though I'm not certain because the crashes didn't always happen gdb-14.1-1.fc39. bug 2252382 and bug 2252514 were due to the reasons I reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2252382#c14 The gdb, drkonqi, kioslave5 aborts were due to the 40 s timeout for /usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service, Fedora services using the drop-in configuration file /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d/10-timeout-abort.conf which has TimeoutStopFailureMode=abort, and gdb taking 40-45 s to create the plasmashell traces with the qt5 debuginfo packages installed which exceeded the plasma-plasmashell.service timeout. Such crashes still happened with gdb 14.1.
