Hi,
This series adds the ability to attach GDB to a running qemu-user
instance. This is useful for debugging multi-process apps.
Patches 1 and 2 implement a small related feature: the ability to
create individual UNIX sockets for each child process.
Patches 3-5 add the required infrastructure. In particular, we need
to reserve a host signal for waking up threads, as discussed in [1].
By the way, the problem with atomicity of checking for pending signals
and invoking syscalls that I'm describing in that thread seems to
have already been solved by the safe_syscall infrastructure, so the
changes are fairly simple.
If this series is accepted, I will rebase the all-stop series on top
of it.
Patch 6 is the implementation, patch 7 is a documentation update,
patch 8 is a test. I tested this series on Linux and only
compile-tested on the BSDs.
Best regards,
Ilya
