I'm observing the following deadlock: One thread calls Module::PreloadSymbols() which takes m_mutex of this Module. Module::PreloadSymbols() calls ManualDWARFIndex::Index(), which, in turn, creates thread pool and waits for all threads completion:

OTOH one of pool threads makes an attempt to lock Module's mutex: (gdb) bt #0 __lll_lock_wait (futex=futex@entry=0x7f67de79b638, private=0) at lowlevellock.c:52 #1 0x00007f67fcd907f1 in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock (mutex=0x7f67de79b638) at ../nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c:115 #2 0x00007f67fc1ed922 in __gthread_mutex_lock (__mutex=0x7f67de79b638) at /usr/include/c++/10/x86_64-redhat-linux/bits/gthr-default.h:749 #3 __gthread_recursive_mutex_lock (__mutex=0x7f67de79b638) at /usr/include/c++/10/x86_64-redhat-linux/bits/gthr-default.h:811 #4 std::recursive_mutex::lock (this=0x7f67de79b638) at /usr/include/c++/10/mutex:106 #5 std::lock_guard<std::recursive_mutex>::lock_guard (__m=..., this=<synthetic pointer>) at /usr/include/c++/10/bits/std_mutex.h:159 #6 lldb_private::Module::GetDescription (this=this@entry=0x7f67de79b620, s=..., level=level@entry=lldb::eDescriptionLevelBrief) at source/lldb/source/Core/Module.cpp:1083 #7 0x00007f67fc1f2070 in lldb_private::Module::ReportError (this=0x7f67de79b620, format=0x7f67fca03660 "DW_FORM_ref* DIE reference 0x%lx is outside of its CU") at source/lldb/include/lldb/Utility/Stream.h:358 #8 0x00007f67fc6adfb4 in DWARFFormValue::Reference (this=this@entry=0x7f66f5ff29c0) at /usr/include/c++/10/bits/shared_ptr_base.h:1324 #9 0x00007f67fc6aaa77 in DWARFDebugInfoEntry::GetAttributes (this=this@entry=0x7f662e3580e0, cu=cu@entry=0x7f66ff6ebad0, attributes=..., recurse=recurse@entry=DWARFBaseDIE::Recurse::yes, curr_depth=curr_depth@entry=0) at source/lldb/source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFDebugInfoEntry.cpp:439 #10 0x00007f67fc6f8f8f in DWARFDebugInfoEntry::GetAttributes (recurse=DWARFBaseDIE::Recurse::yes, attrs=..., cu=0x7f66ff6ebad0, this=0x7f662e3580e0) at source/lldb/source/./Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFDebugInfoEntry.h:54 #11 lldb_private::ManualDWARFIndex::IndexUnitImpl (unit=..., cu_language=cu_language@entry=lldb::eLanguageTypeRust, set=...) at source/lldb/source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/ManualDWARFIndex.cpp:180 #12 0x00007f67fc6f96b7 in lldb_private::ManualDWARFIndex::IndexUnit (this=<optimized out>, unit=..., dwp=0x0, set=...) at source/lldb/source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/ManualDWARFIndex.cpp:126 ... So this is a deadlock because thread pool is created with module lock held, and one (or more, I'm observing two) pool thread(s) might want to grab the same lock to issue an error message. Commenting out the whole body of Module::GetDescription() makes this deadlock disappear. I'm not an expert in this area, but the whole thing looks like the Module object should have more fine-granted locking rather than the only std::recursive_mutex for all synchronization purposes.
