[PATCH v3 27/36] gdbstub: Permit reverse step/break to provide stop response
Posted by Alex Bennée 2 years, 3 months ago
From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>

The final part of the reverse step and break handling is to bring
the machine back to a debug stop state. gdb expects a response.

A gdb 'rsi' command hangs forever because the gdbstub filters out
the response (also observable with reverse_debugging.py avocado
tests).

Fix by setting allow_stop_reply for the gdb backward packets.
