v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20241024200031.80327-1-iii@linux.ibm.com/
v1 -> v2: Rebase, fix conflicts with the QEMU_RTSIG_MAP patch.
Use qemu_get_thread_id() for %d (Helge, Richard, Warner).
Add R-bs, except for the Richard's one on 4/8, since
conflict resolution caused a noticeable change.
Patches that need review:
- [PATCH 2/8] gdbstub: Try unlinking the unix socket before binding
- [PATCH 4/8] user: Introduce host_interrupt_signal # linux part
- [PATCH 6/8] gdbstub: Allow late attachment
- [PATCH 7/8] docs/user: Document the %d placeholder and suspend=n QEMU_GDB features
- [PATCH 8/8] tests/tcg: Add late gdbstub attach test
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
