I am getting the following backtrace from an error that only happens after some subsequent requests to the server:

Any idea why is this happening? I am using aerospike but I am not sure if it is related to the issue.
To reproduce it:
gdb --args node /bin/www
> run // until error occurs
> backtrace full
This question was asked on the Aerospike Community Edition user forum here.
Aerospike made an official release to NPM (Node.js 1.0.38) in April 2015; it fixes this UV assertion segfault when running query in the node.js API.
The user #Daniel reported that his problem is now fixed.

Trying to debug multi CPU SoC (Amlogic A113X) and faced a problem.
So I have this debug configuration: A113X(JTAG) -> Segger J-Link V11 -> OpenOCD -> gdb-multiarch
Everything is connected and seems okay, but GDB shows just 1 thread (should be 4 - one for each CPU):
(gdb) info threads

Meanwhile there are 4 debug targets according to telenet 'targets' command:

Core 2 is shut down in this particular case.
When I halt CPUs then get this output in GDB:

I tried to combine hwthread and targete smp to achieve multi-cores.
Add "-rtos hwthread" for each core, like
target create ...... -rtos hwthread
In my opinion, a core is regarded as a hwthread by OpenOCD, so set hwthread for each core. Following is the response of info threads.

As can be seen, after a simple call and return, 4 elements are popped off the stack. Perhaps there is something special about the <_dl_signal_cexception(), __GI__dl_catch_exception()> pair. The stack is changed by some means other than call or return. It seems that _dl_signal_cexception() finally leads to a __longjmp() function at ../sysdeps/x86_64/__longjmp.S which modifies the backtrace. Can someone describe the process?

Correct: the _dl_signal_exception doesn't return, it uses longjmp to transfer control not to its caller, but to its callers callers ... caller.
It seems that _dl_signal_cexception() finally leads to a __longjmp()
Correct.
Can someone describe the process?
You appear to not understand what longjmp does. Reading its man page and/or this example should help.
Update:
this approach for transition in control flow is somehow insane even compared to simple gotos ... any other cases that I should consider?
Other "interesting" control transfers are via makecontext, setcontext and swapcontext family of functions, and (in C++) throw and catch are pretty much equivalent to setjmp and longjmp.
I have a system running on an Intel debug board with DRM and Mesa.
This graphic system use Wayland/Weston and Mesa.
And applications are developed with OpenGL ES 2.0.
Now, I find, sometimes, if the application crashed, the Weston will crashed too.
By checking the coredump of Weston, I can find some invalid memory address was used.
But when I run Weston with Valgrind, there is not any report for invalid memory access.
So, I am thinking about if there were some shared-memory leak by mesa when the client crash.
Means, for example, an application draw a buffer, and commit it to Weston, after that, the application crashed, and mesa recycled all the buffers alloced by this application. But, Weston do not know this, it used the committed buffer and crashed.
Will those things happen? And what could I do to survive from this?
Core was generated by `weston --config=/usr/lib/weston/weston.ini --backend=/usr/lib/weston/ias-backen'.

One part of an application I'm developing needs to send some emails to a small group of people. Since it may take a little while to connect to the SMTP server and send the emails, I want to provide a progress bar during this operation using a background thread to do the work.
What happens now is that I can implement a test structure that works just fine, but then as soon as I try to create an object from the backend of my application to actually do any emailing operations, it crashes completely (as though it had segfaulted), dumping this to the console:
[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
python: ../../src/xcb_io.c:179: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq' failed.
Aborted
The only relevant thread I found searching for these errors said something about the signals being implemented wrong (for PySide, PySide and QProgressBar update in a different thread), but in my case the signals work totally fine until I try to create that object (which isn't based on Qt classes at all).
Here's a simplified version of my GUI code:
class SendingDialog(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent, optsDict, cls, zid):
QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self)
self.form = Ui_Dialog()
self.form.setupUi(self)
# initialize some class variables...
self.beginConnect()
self.thread = WorkerThread()
self.thread.insertOptions(self.opts, self.cls, self.zid)
self.thread.finished.connect(self.endOfThread)
self.thread.serverContacted.connect(self.startProgress)
self.thread.aboutToEmail.connect(self.updateProgress)
self.thread.start()
def beginConnect(self):
# start busy indicator
def startProgress(self):
# set up progress bar
def updateProgress(self):
# increment progress bar
def endOfThread(self):
self.thread.quit()
self.reject()
class WorkerThread(QtCore.QThread):
serverContacted = QtCore.pyqtSignal(name="serverContacted")
aboutToEmail = QtCore.pyqtSignal(name="aboutToEmail")
def insertOptions(self, opts, cls, zid):
self.opts = opts
self.cls = cls
self.zid = zid
def run(self):
# upon running the following line, the application crashes.
emailman = db.emailing.EmailManager(self.opts, self.cls, self.zid)
If I put some dummy code into run() that sleeps, emits the appropriate signals, or prints test values, everything works fine; but as soon as I try to instantiate the EmailManager, the whole thing crashes.
EmailManager is an unremarkable class derived from object, taking the parameters I've given it (opts is a dictionary, cls is a different type of similarly unremarkable object, and zid is just a plain number). The constructor looks like this:
def __init__(self, optsDict, cls, zid):
self.opts = optsDict
self.cls = cls
self.historyItem = HistoryItem(zid)
self.studentsList = studentsInClass(cls)
self.connection = None
I'm constructing a couple of other objects based on the parameters, but other than that, nothing complicated or unusual is happening. The code in the db.emailing module does not use Qt or threading at all.
I don't even know how to begin debugging this, so any advice as to what might be going on or how I could try to find out would be very much appreciated.
Edit: In case it's helpful, here's the backtrace from gdb (I don't know enough about what's going on to find it helpful):

Wow, this was obscure.
The X11 windowing functions are apparently not threadsafe unless explicitly set to be so, and for whatever reason PyQt doesn't automatically set them to be. This can be corrected by adding the following before the QApplication constructor:
QtCore.QCoreApplication.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.AA_X11InitThreads)
See the documentation on QApplicationAttributes.
I have a core dump from a process that deadlocked after invoking a signal handler. How do I determine which signal was delivered and who sent it?
The GDB-generated backtrace for the the thread that received the signal follows. The signal handler was called in frame 15.

For what it's worth, handle_fatal_signal() and my_print_stacktrace() are MySQL functions. The rest are from Google's tcmalloc.
I would try "frame 15" to move to the signal delivery frame, followed by "print $_siginfo.si_signo". See https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Signals.html
This works on Linux at least, which I presume from your backtrace that you are using. I'm not sure about other platforms.
