- 制造一个coredump场景
- 真实故障场景分析跟踪
上一篇文档介绍了如何构建gdb跟踪调试环境，本文介绍如何根据错误日志信息，跟踪定位问题可能的原因，以及如何利用coredump文件查找问题线索。
1. 启用coredump
程序运行过程中可能会异常终止或崩溃，OS会把程序挂掉时的内存状态记录下来，写入core文件，这就叫 coredump，通过gdb结合core文件可以方便地进行调试。
利用core文件中保留的异常堆栈文件，能够帮助研发同学更快定位问题。因此，如果某些故障断断续续会出现，建议阶段性开启coredump功能。
想要开启coredump，需要先修改OS层的几个设置：
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ sysctl -w fs.suid_dumpable=2
$ echo "core.%p.%e.%s" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern同时，将这些修改持久化到相应文件中（假定MySQL/GreatSQL服务进程的属主用户是 mysql）：
$ echo "mysql - core unlimited" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
$ echo "fs.suid_dumpable=2" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
$ echo "kernel.core_pattern=core.%e.%p.%t" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sysctl -p接下来，修改 my.cnf 配置文件，增加以下两行内容：
core_file
innodb_buffer_pool_in_core_file=OFF然后重启GreatSQL服务进程，即可生效，查询确认下：
mysql> show global variables like '%core%';
+---------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------------------------+-------+
| core_file | ON |
| innodb_buffer_pool_in_core_file | OFF |
+---------------------------------+-------+这样设置完成后，需要的话会在 datadir 目录下生成core文件。
2. 制造一个coredump场景
我们可以给mysqld进程发送 SIGSEGV(11) 信号，即可模拟出coredump的场景，例如：
$ kill -s SIGSEGV `pidof mysqld`这时查看GreatSQL错误日志文件，以及core文件，就会发现有coredump：
$ls -la
...
-rw------- 1 mysql mysql 1081147392 Feb 20 22:36 core.mysqld-debug.2658134.1676903816

Most likely, you have hit a bug, but this error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

... 在一线的同学，如果需要向研发寻求支持或报告故障时，可以先参考这篇文章 MySQL报障之coredump收集处理流程，需要采集其他几个信息：
- 故障时刻的error log。
- 故障产生的core文件。
- 如果有general log的话，也采集起来（故障时刻往前约1小时或10万行日志）。
- 导致core发生涉及到的表DDL以及相应的SQL语句，有必要的话，可能还要同时提供真实数据（或样例数据）。
3. 真实故障场景分析跟踪
在GreatSQL 8.0.25-15版本（上一个版本）中，InnoDB并行查询功能在特定场景下存在bug，会导致crash，相应的日志见下：

Most likely, you have hit a bug, but this error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

本文简单演示了如何利用core文件去跟踪定位分析可能导致crash的原因，更多有趣实用的方法还有待进一步挖掘，一起探索新世界吧。
