[PATCH 1/3] gdbstub: use a better signal when we halt for IO reasons
Posted by Alex Bennée 12 months ago
The gdb description GDB_SIGNAL_IO is "I/O possible" and by default gdb
will try and restart the guest, getting us nowhere. Report
GDB_SIGNAL_STOP instead which should at least halt the session at the
failure point.
