Description

This toolkit provides various gdb extension commands for analyzing core dump files for OpenResty (including nginx, luajit, ngx_lua, and many other components).

Many of the gdb extension tools here have been successfully used to track down many weird bugs in OpenResty and LuaJIT cores just by analyzing core dump files.

Commands

IMPORTANT!!! The commands below are no longer maintained and our focus has been shifted to a much better dynamic tracing platform named OpenResty XRay. Existing users of the tools here are recommended to switch too.

The following gdb commands are supported:

Back to TOC

lbt

syntax: lbt [L]

syntax: lbt full [L]

file luajit21.py

Fetch the current backtrace from the current running Lua thread (when no L argument is given) or the Lua thread specified by the lua_State pointer.

The backtrace format is the same as the one used by the lj-lua-bt tool.

When analyzing ngx_lua's processes, this tool requires the Python module files nginx.py and ngxlua.py to obtain the global Lua state. You need to add the path of these .py files to the PYTHONPATH environment variable before starting gdb.

Below is an example:

(gdb) source luajit21.py
(gdb) lbt
builtin#166
builtin#195
builtin#187
@/home/agentzh/git/lua-resty-core/lib/resty/core/regex.lua:588
content_by_lua:10

You can also explicitly specify the Lua thread state you want to analyze, for instance,

(gdb) lbt 0x169e0e0

The lbt full command works like bt full, which dumps out the names and values of all the local variables (including function parameters) in every Lua function frame. For example,

(gdb) lbt full
C:ngx_http_lua_socket_tcp_receive
@/home/agentzh/git/lua-resty-mysql/lib/resty/mysql.lua:191
    local "self":
        table (0x40f181a8)
    local "sock":
        table (0x40f181b0)
@/home/agentzh/git/lua-resty-mysql/lib/resty/mysql.lua:530
    local "self":
        table (0x40f18148)
    local "opts":
        table (0x40f18150)
    local "sock":
        table (0x40f18158)
    local "max_packet_size":
        int 1048576
    local "ok":
        int 1
    local "err":
        nil
    local "database":
        string: "world" (len 5)
    local "user":
        string: "ngx_test" (len 8)
    local "pool":
        string: "ngx_test:world:127.0.0.1:3306" (len 29)
    local "host":
        string: "127.0.0.1" (len 9)

Only LuaJIT 2.1 is supported.

lvmst

syntax: lvmst [L]

file luajit21.py

Prints out the current state of the LuaJIT 2.1 VM.

Below is an example,

(gdb) source luajit21.py
(gdb) lvmst
current VM state: C code from intperpreted Lua

You can also explicitly specify the lua VM state you want to analyze, for instance,

(gdb) lvmst 0x169e0e0
current VM state: C code from intperpreted Lua

You can specify any Lua thread's state in the VM you want to analyze.

The following VM states are supported:

  • Compiled Lua code (trace #N)
  • Interpreted
  • C code (from interpreted Lua code)
  • Garbage collector (from interpreter)
  • Garbage collector (from compiled Lua code)
  • Trace exit handler
  • Trace recorder
  • Optimizer
  • Assembler

Back to TOC

lval

syntax: lval tvalue

syntax: lval gcobj

file luajit21.py

Prints out the content in a TValue or the dereferenced value (like GCtab and GCproto) from its pointer. By default the argument is assumed to be a TValue* pointer value.

Below are some examples:

(gdb) lval (TValue*)0x41f1f450
table (GCtab*)0x41f1f688 (narr=5, nrec=1):
    [1] =
        int 32
    [2] =
        true
    [4] =
        string: "hello" (len 5)
    key:
        string: "dog" (len 3)
    value:
        number 21.5

(gdb) lval (GCtab*)0x41f1f688
table (GCtab*)0x41f1f688 (narr=5, nrec=1):
    [1] =
        int 32
    [2] =
        true
    [4] =
        string: "hello" (len 5)
    key:
        string: "dog" (len 3)
    value:
        number 21.5

(gdb) lval 0x41f1f440
        nil

(gdb) lval 0x41f1f458
        Lua function (GCfunc*)0x4188e018 at @.../regex.lua:418

(gdb) lval 0x41f1f460
        int 1

Back to TOC

ltrace

syntax: ltrace

syntax: ltrace traceno

file luajit21.py

Dump the contents in a LuaJIT trace object specified by the trace number (starting from 1).

For example,

(gdb) ltrace 658
(GCtrace*)0x40800268
machine code size: 335
machine code start addr: 0x7f2435c85870
machine code end addr: 0x7f2435c859bf
@.../lua/waf-core.lua:1202

The starting address and end address of the machine code region in the output can be used to obtain the machine code dump for the trace:

(gdb) set disassembly-flavor intel

(gdb) disas 0x7f2435c85870, 0x7f2435c859bf
Dump of assembler code from 0x7f2435c85870 to 0x7f2435c859bf:
   0x00007f2435c85870:  mov    DWORD PTR ds:0x40ff1410,0x292
   0x00007f2435c8587b:  cmp    DWORD PTR [rdx-0x8],0x419746c8
   0x00007f2435c85882:  jne    0x7f2435cd0010
   0x00007f2435c85888:  cmp    DWORD PTR [rdx+0x4],0xfffffffb
   0x00007f2435c8588c:  jne    0x7f2435cd0010
   0x00007f2435c85892:  mov    ebp,DWORD PTR [rdx]
   ...
   0x00007f2435c859b4:  mov    r14d,0x40ff1f90
   0x00007f2435c859ba:  jmp    0x7f2444a899fa <lj_vm_exit_interp>
End of assembler dump.

When being invoked without any arguments, this command just prints out the total number of traces, for instance,

(gdb) ltrace
Found 253 traces.

lir

syntax: lir traceno

file luajit21.py

Dumps out the IR code (with CPU register and snapshot details) for the LuaJIT trace specified by its trace number. The output format is the same as LuaJIT's own -jdump=+rs output.

Back to TOC

lpc

syntax: lpc pc

file luajit21.py

Prints out the Lua prototype (GCproto object) whose bytecode contains the PC value specified as the BCIns pointer value. The Lua source line's location (file name and line number) will also be printed out.

For example,

    (gdb) lpc 0x419eeb4c
    proto: (GCproto*)0x419ee930
    source line: @.../lua/waf-core.lua:1330
    proto first line: 1282

Back to TOC

lproto

syntax: lproto file lineno

file luajit21.py

Prints out all the Lua prototype objects (in the form of GCproto pointer values) filtered by the Lua file name and file line number where the corresponding Lua function is defined.

The file name can be specified as the last part of its path.

Below is an example,

(gdb) lproto regex.lua 273
Found Lua proto (GCproto*)0x41221740 at @.../lua-resty-core/lib/resty/core/regex.lua:273

This command works by walking through all the GC objects in the LuaJIT VM.

Back to TOC

lfunc

syntax: lfunc file lineno

You can get the GCfunc pointer value via the lfunc command.

Back to TOC

lbc

Dumps the bytecode of the specified bytecode address (PC) range.

The bytecode address (or PC) range can be obtained by using the lval command upon a GCproto object. For example:

 lval (GCproto*)0x4030b8f8
    proto definition: @/usr/local/openresty-debug/lualib/resty/lrucache.lua:82
    bytecode range: 0x4030b938 0x4030b960

And we feed this range into the lbc command to get the full bytecode dump for this GCproto object:

(rr) lbc 0x4030b938 0x4030b960
(GCproto*)0x4030b8f8

lgc

syntax: lgc

syntax: lgc L

file luajit21.py

Prints out the current size of the total memory that is allocated by the LuaJIT GC.

This is very useful for checking if the LuaJIT VM takes up too much memory on the Lua land.

Below is an example:

(gdb) lgc
The current memory size (allocated by GC): 898960 bytes

Back to TOC

lgcstat

syntax: lgcstat

file luajit21.py

This command prints out a statistics summary for all the GC objects (both live ones and dead ones that are not yet collected).

The output is very similar to the systemtap tool, lj-gc-objs.

Below is an example:

(gdb) lgcstat
15172 str        objects: max=2956, avg = 51, min=18, sum=779126

lgcpath

syntax: lgcpath size [type]

file luajit21.py

Finds large live LuaJIT GC objects with the size threshold (in bytes) and a type name ("udata", "str", "tab", "thr", "upval", "func", "tr"). The type name argument is optional. Also prints out the full referencing path from the GC roots to the object being matched.

For example, finds all the live Lua tables whose size has exceeded 100KB:

(gdb) lgcpath 100000 tab
path 000:[registry] ->Tab["_LOADED"] ->Tab["ffi"] ->Tab["gc"] ->cfunc ->env ->Tab sz:196640 (GCobj*)0x40784f58 ->END

lthreadpc

syntax: lthreadpc

file luajit21.py

Prints out the next PC to be executed for a yielded Lua thread.

(gdb) lthreadpc (lua_State*)0x4169ece0
next PC: (BCIns*)0x40c5d8f0
proto: (GCproto*)0x40c5d898

proto first line: 127

Back to TOC

lb

syntax: lb

file luajit21.py

Sets a breakpoint on interpreted Lua function call entries.

The Lua function is specified by the Lua file name and first line's line number of the Lua function (prototype) definition.

For example,

(gdb) lb foo.lua:32

defines a breakpoint on the entry point of the Lua function defined on the line 32 of the file foo.lua. The line 32 may look like this:

local function do_something()

Below is a complete example:

(gdb) lb a.lua:1
Searching Lua function at a.lua:1...
Set break point on (GCfunc*)0x40007e08 at @a.lua:1
Breakpoint 2 at 0x4225e6
Breakpoint 3 at 0x422614
Breakpoint 4 at 0x4225b8

(gdb) c
Entry breakpoint hit at
              function @a.lua:1: (GCfunc*)0x40007d20
source line: @a.lua:7
Taking 2 arguments:
              int 1
              number 2.4

Breakpoint 2, 0x00000000004225e6 in lj_BC_CALL ()

You can also set breapoints on every interpreted Lua function call entries by specifying *:

(gdb) lb *

If you want to set breakpoints on Lua function call returns, then you should use the lrb gdb command instead.

Existing Lua-land breakpoints can be viewed via the linfob gdb command.

You can remove the breakpoints via the ldel gdb command.

Right now, only interpreted Lua function calls run by LuaJIT 2.1 are supported. But we will add support for JIT-compiled Lua function calls in the near future.

Back to TOC

lrb

syntax: lrb

file luajit21.py

Sets a breakpoint on interpreted Lua function call returns.

The Lua function is specified by the Lua file name and first line's line number of the Lua function (prototype) definition.

For example,

(gdb) lb foo.lua:32

defines a breakpoint on the entry point of the Lua function defined on the line 32 of the file foo.lua. The line 32 may look like this:

local function do_something()

Below is a complete example:

(gdb) lrb a.lua:1

Breakpoint 4, 0x0000000000422994 in lj_BC_RET1 ()

If the Lua function returns via a tail call, then you should set a breakpoint on the ultimate Lua function at the end of the tail call chain instead. For instance,

function foo()
    return true;
end

function bar(a)
    return foo()
end

In order to set a breakpoint on Lua function bar here, you should set a breakpoint on the foo function instead because bar is returning by a tailcall to foo.

Unlike the lb command, the * spec is not supported, that is, setting breakpoints on all the Lua function returns is not supported (yet).

Existing Lua-land breakpoints can be viewed via the linfob gdb command.

You can remove the breakpoints via the ldel gdb command.

linfob

syntax: linfob

file luajit21.py

Lists all the existing Lua-land breakpoints.

Below is an example:

(gdb) linfob
Type    Address                 What
entry   (GCfunc*)0x40ef8ed0     ownership.lua:190
entry   (GCfunc*)0x40b523d0     shcache.lua:454
return  (BCIns*)0x40eeb130      ownership.lua:190 in func ownership.lua:238
return  (BCIns*)0x40eeb2d8      ownership.lua:190 in func ownership.lua:307
return  (BCIns*)0x40eeb330      ownership.lua:190 in func ownership.lua:328

ldel

syntax: ldel

syntax: ldel

file luajit21.py

Removes one or more Lua-land breakpoints.

When running without any arguments, it removes all the existing Lua-land breakpoints.

Alternatively you scan specify a Lua function position (as in the lb and lrb commands) to remove the entry and return breakpoints on that Lua function only. For example,

(gdb) lb a.lua:1
Searching Lua function at a.lua:1...
Set break point on (GCfunc*)0x40007d40 at @a.lua:1
Breakpoint 2 at 0x4225e6
Breakpoint 3 at 0x422614
Breakpoint 4 at 0x4225b8

(gdb) lrb a.lua:1
Searching Lua function at a.lua:1...
Set breakpoint on RET0 (line @a.lua:2)
Breakpoint 5 at 0x4228b0
Breakpoint 6 at 0x422938
Breakpoint 7 at 0x422994

(gdb) lb a.lua:5
Searching Lua function at a.lua:5...
Set break point on (GCfunc*)0x40007e28 at @a.lua:5

(gdb) ldel a.lua:1
Searching Lua function at a.lua:1...
Remove entry breakpoint on (GCfunc*)0x40007d40 at @a.lua:1
Remove return breakpoint on (GCfunc*)0x40007f2c at @a.lua:1

(gdb) ldel a.lua:5
Searching Lua function at a.lua:5...
Remove entry breakpoint on (GCfunc*)0x40007e28 at @a.lua:5

(gdb) linfob
No Lua breakpoints.

ldumpstack

syntax: ldumpstack <lua_State *>

file luajit21.py

Shows the stack content of the given lua_State struct.

dump-all-timers

syntax: dump-all-timers

file ngx-lua.gdb

Dump all timers from the timer tree inside the NGINX worker. If the timer was created with ngx.timer.* Lua API, also dumps the function that will be executed by the timer with their arguments.

All timestamps are in milliseconds. The "in" value is calculated as now - timer's timestamp. A zero or negative value means the timer should be fired.

(gdb) dump-all-timers

Prerequisites

You need to enable the debuginfo in your LuaJIT build (and Nginx build if Nginx is involved).

To enable debuginfo in your LuaJIT build, pass the CCDEBUG=-g command-line argument to the make command, as in

make CCDEBUG=-g

Also, you are required to use gdb 7.6+ with python 2.7+ support enabled.

Installation

See Prerequisites first.

And then

  1. check out this project locally.
  2. add the following lines to your ~/.gdbinit (you must change the /path/to part to the real path):
directory /path/to/openresty-gdb-utils

py import sys
py sys.path.append("/path/to/openresty-gdb-utils")

source luajit20.gdb
source ngx-lua.gdb
source luajit21.py
source ngx-raw-req.py
set python print-stack full
