As part of the preparation necessary for my upcoming task, I'd like to
propose that we turn gdb_environ into a class. The approach taken
here is simple: the class gdb_environ contains everything that is
needed to manipulate the environment variables. These variables are
stored in an std::vector<char *>, which can be converted to a 'char
**' and passed as argument to functions that need it.
The usage has not changed much. As per Pedro's suggestion, this class
uses a static factory method initialization. This means that when an
instance is created, it is initially empty. When needed, it has to be
initialized using the static method 'from_host_environ'.
As mentioned before, this is a preparation for an upcoming work that I
will be posting in the next few weeks or so. For that work, I'll
probably create another data structure that will contain all the
environment variables that were set by the user using the 'set
environment' command, because I'll need access to them. This will be
much easier with the class-ification of gdb_environ.
As noted, this has been regression-tested with the new version of
environ.exp and no regressions were found.

This patch implements the proper support for the "startup-with-shell"
feature on gdbserver. A new packet is added, QStartupWithShell, and
it is sent on initialization. If the host sends a
"QStartupWithShell:1", it means the inferior shall be started using a
shell. If the host sends a "QStartupWithShell:0", it means the
inferior shall be started without using a shell. Any other value is
considered an error.
There is no way to remotely set the shell that will be used by the
target to start the inferior. In order to do that, the user must
start gdbserver while providing a shell via the $SHELL environment
variable. The same is true for the host side.
The "set startup-with-shell" setting from the host side is used to
decide whether to start the remote inferior using a shell. This same
setting is also used to decide whether to use a shell to start the
host inferior; this means that it is not really possible to start the
inferior using different mechanisms on target and host.
A documentation patch is included, along with a new testcase for the
feature.

This is the most important (and the biggest, sorry) patch of the
series. It moves fork_inferior from gdb/fork-child.c to
nat/fork-inferior.c and makes all the necessary adjustments to both
GDB and gdbserver to make sure everything works OK.
There is no "most important change" with this patch; all changes are
made in a progressive way, making sure that gdbserver had the
necessary features while not breaking GDB at the same time.
I decided to go ahead and implement a partial support for starting the
inferior with a shell on gdbserver, although the full feature comes in
the next patch. The user won't have the option to disable the
startup-with-shell, and also won't be able to change which shell
gdbserver will use (other than setting the $SHELL environment
variable, that is).
Everything is working as expected, and no regressions were present
during the tests.

* gdb.server/non-existing-program.exp: Update regex in order to

shell) to startup the inferior.
As a preparation for the next patch, which will move fork_inferior
from GDB to common/ (and therefore share it with gdbserver), it is
interesting to convert a few functions to C++.
This patch touches functions related to parsing command-line arguments
to the inferior (see gdb/fork-child.c:breakup_args), the way the
arguments are stored on fork_inferior (using std::vector instead of
char **), and the code responsible for dealing with argv also on
gdbserver.
I've taken this opportunity and decided to constify a few arguments to
fork_inferior/create_inferior as well, in order to make the code
cleaner. And now, on gdbserver, we're using xstrdup everywhere and
aren't checking for memory allocation failures anymore, as requested
by Pedro:

IMO this refactoring was very good to increase the readability of the
code as well, because some parts of the argument handling were
unnecessarily confusing before.

I grew a bit tired of using ptid_get_{lwp,pid,tid} and friends, so I decided to
make it a bit easier to use by making it a proper class. The fields are now
private, so it's not possible to change a ptid_t field by mistake.
The new methods of ptid_t map to existing functions/practice like this:
ptid_t (pid, lwp, tid) -> ptid_build (pid, lwp, tid)
ptid_t (pid) -> pid_to_ptid (pid)
ptid.is_pid () -> ptid_is_pid (ptid)
ptid == other -> ptid_equal (ptid, other)
ptid != other -> !ptid_equal (ptid, other)
ptid.pid () -> ptid_get_pid (ptid)
ptid.lwp_p () -> ptid_lwp_p (ptid)
ptid.lwp () -> ptid_get_lwp (ptid)
ptid.tid_p () -> ptid_tid_p (ptid)
ptid.tid () -> ptid_get_tid (ptid)
ptid.matches (filter) -> ptid_match (ptid, filter)
I've replaced the implementation of the existing functions with calls to
the new methods. People are encouraged to gradually switch to using the
ptid_t methods instead of the functions (or we can change them all in
one pass eventually).
Also, I'm not sure if it's worth it (because of ptid_t's relatively
small size), but I have made the functions and methods take ptid_t
arguments by const reference instead of by value.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Currently GDB never sends more than one action per vCont packet, when
connected in non-stop mode. A follow up patch will change that, and
it exposed a gdbserver problem with the vCont handling.
For example, this in non-stop mode:
=> vCont;s:p1.1;c
<= OK
Should be equivalent to:
=> vCont;s:p1.1
<= OK
=> vCont;c
<= OK
But gdbserver currently doesn't handle this. In the latter case,
"vCont;c" makes gdbserver clobber the previous step request. This
patch fixes that.
Note the server side must ignore resume actions for the thread that
has a pending %Stopped notification (and any other threads with events
pending), until GDB acks the notification with vStopped. Otherwise,
e.g., the following case is mishandled:
#1 => g (or any other packet)
#2 <= [registers]
#3 <= %Stopped T05 thread:p1.2
#4 => vCont s:p1.1;c
#5 <= OK
Above, the server must not resume thread p1.2 when it processes the
vCont. GDB can't know that p1.2 stopped until it acks the %Stopped
notification. (Otherwise it wouldn't send a default "c" action.)
(The vCont documentation already specifies this.)
Finally, special care must also be given to handling fork/vfork
events. A (v)fork event actually tells us that two processes stopped
-- the parent and the child. Until we follow the fork, we must not
resume the child. Therefore, if we have a pending fork follow, we
must not send a global wildcard resume action (vCont;c). We can still
send process-wide wildcards though.
(The comments above will be added as code comments to gdb in a follow
up patch.)

This patch consolidates the API of target_mourn_inferior between GDB
and gdbserver, in my continuing efforts to make sharing the
fork_inferior function possible between both.
GDB's version of the function did not care about the inferior's ptid
being mourned, but gdbserver's needed to know this information. Since
it actually makes sense to pass the ptid as an argument, instead of
depending on a global value directly (which GDB's version did), I
decided to make the generic API to accept it. I then went on and
extended all calls being made on GDB to include a ptid argument (which
ended up being inferior_ptid most of the times, anyway), and now we
have a more sane interface.
On GDB's side, after talking to Pedro a bit about it, we decided that
just an assertion to make sure that the ptid being passed is equal to
inferior_ptid would be enough for now, on the GDB side. We can remove
the assertion and perform more operations later if we ever pass
anything different than inferior_ptid.
Regression tested on our BuildBot, everything OK.
I'd appreciate a special look at gdb/windows-nat.c's modification
because I wasn't really sure what to do there. It seemed to me that
maybe I should build a ptid out of the process information there, but
then I am almost sure the assertion on GDB's side would trigger.

The last commit was supposed to have the reference to ptrace () removed.

* server.c (start_inferior): Fixed comment, requested comment change
didn't get updated correctly. Removed reference to ptrace () call as
it is only true on Linux systems.
The test checks to make sure GDB exits cleanly if there is
no valid target binary. Currently, ppc and S390 fail on this
test. The function target_post_create_inferior () calls
linux_post_create_inferior () which calls the architecture
specific functions s390_arch_setup () and ppc_arch_setup ()
which make ptrace calls to access the architecture specific
registers. These ptrace calls fail because the process does
not exist causing GDB to exit on error.
This patch checks to see if the initial ptrace (PTRACE_TRACEME, ...)
call returned a status of TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED indicating the
target has already exited. If the target has exited, then the
target_post_create_inferior () is not called since there is no
inferior to be setup. The test to see if the initial ptrace
call succeeded is done after the ptrace (PTRACE_TRACEME, ...)
call and the wait for the inferior process to stop, assuming
it exists, has occurred.
The patch has been tested on X86 64-bit, ppc64 and s390. If
fixes the test failures on ppc64 and s390. The test does not
fail on X86 64-bit. The patch does not introduce any additional
regression failures on any of these three platforms.

* server.c (start_inferior): Do not call
function target_post_create_inferior () if the
inferior process has already exited.
This commit implements a new function, target_continue, on top of the
target_resume function. Then, it replaces all calls to target_resume
by calls to target_continue or to the already existing
target_continue_no_signal.
This is one of the (many) necessary steps needed to consolidate the
target interface between GDB and gdbserver. In particular, I am
interested in the impact this change will have on the unification of
the fork_inferior function (which I have been working on).
Tested on the BuildBot, no regressions introduced.

gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit. However, it
currently does. For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.
This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html
Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
image are set to the default action in the new process
image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
in the new process image (see <signal.h>).
And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.
In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

Nowadays, there are three types of breakpoint in GDBserver,
- gdb breakpoints,
- reinsert breakpoints, used for software single step,
- other breakpoints, used for tracepoint,
but we only have one 'struct breakpoint' for all of them. Some fields
are only useful to one type of breakpoint. For example, cond_list
and command_list are only used by gdb breakpoints, while handler is
only used by other breakpoints.
This patch changes 'struct breakpoint' to a base class, which has fields
needed by all breakpoint types, also add three sub-classes to
'struct breakpoint' to these three types of breakpoints.

On powerpc64, qSymbol query may require gdb to read a function
descriptor, sending a vFile packet to gdbserver. Thus, we need
to handle 'v' packet in look_up_one_symbol.
vFile replies may be quite long, and require reallocating own_buf.
Since handle_v_requests assumes the buffer is the static global own_buf
from server.c and reallocates it, we need to make own_buf global and
use it from look_up_one_symbol instead of using our own auto variable.
I've also done the same change in relocate_instruction, just in case.
On gdb side, in remote_check_symbols, rs->buf may be clobbered by vFile
handling, yet we need its contents for the reply (the symbol name is
stored there). Allocate a new buffer instead.
This broke fast tracepoints on powerpc64, due to errors in reading IPA
symbols.

For a forthcoming patch, I need a "skip_to_colon" function. I noticed
there are two skip_to_semicolon (one in gdb and one in gdbserver). I
thought we could put it in common/, and generalize it for any character.
It turns out that the strchrnul function does exactly that. I imported
the corresponding module from gnulib, for those systems that do not have
it.
There are probably more places where this function can be used instead
of doing the work by hand (I am looking at
remote-utils.c::look_up_one_symbol).

This patch enables support for conditional breakpoints if the target supports
software single step.
This was disabled before as the implementations of software single step were too
simple as discussed in

Since these issues are now fixed support can be added back.

* Allow changing the active process in remote mode.
* Enable fork and exec events in remote mode.
* Print "Ending remote debugging" only when disconnecting.
* Combine remote_kill and extended_remote_kill into a single function
that can handle the multiple inferior case for target remote. Also,

In commit 6085d6f6, Z0 packet is disabled in aarch64 GDBserver if
the inferior is 32-bit or there may be multiple inferiors, because
Z0 packet isn't supported for arm then. Recently, Z0 packet
is supported in arm target, so we don't have such limitation in
aarch64 GDBserver, that is to say, aarch64 GDBserver can use Z0
packet in multi-arch/multi-inferior debugging when the inferior's
arch is arm.
Part of this patch is to revert 6085d6f6, and the rest of the patch
is to move some breakpoint related arm_* functions into
linux-aarch32-low.c in order to share them between arm and aarch64.
This patch is regression tested on aarch64-linux for debugging both
aarch64 programs and arm programs respectively.

Notice the "Packet received: W0;process:2b51" followed by
vStopped->OK.
That means the process exit notification was successfully sent to GDB
and GDB fetched it. That makes gdbserver exit, in
server.c:process_serial_event:
if (!extended_protocol && have_ran && !target_running ())
{
/* In non-stop, defer exiting until GDB had a chance to query
the whole vStopped list (until it gets an OK). */
if (QUEUE_is_empty (notif_event_p, notif_stop.queue))
{
/* Be transparent when GDB is connected through stdio -- no
need to spam GDB's console. */
if (!remote_connection_is_stdio ())
fprintf (stderr, "GDBserver exiting\n");
remote_close ();
exit (0);
}
}
However, GDB is still busy processing an earlier "no-resumed" event,
and sends a "Hg" packet, which errors out with "Remote connection
closed". IOW, it's not enough to wait for GDB to query the whole
vStopped list, gdbserver needs to wait until the exit event is really
processed.
The fix is to make gdbserver not disconnect until gdb does.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora, native gdbserver, remote + extended-remote +
with and without "maint set target-non-stop on".

Testing with "maint set target-non-stop on" causes regressions in
tests that rely on TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, which isn't modelled on
the RSP. In real all-stop, gdbserver detects the situation and
reporst error to GDB, and so the tests (e.g.,
gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp) at fail quickly. But with
"maint set target-non-stop on", GDB instead hangs forever waiting for
a stop reply that never comes, and so the tests take longer to time
out.
This adds a new "N" stop reply packet that maps 1-1 to
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED.

When testing with "maint set target-non-stop on", a few
threading-related tests expose an issue that requires new RSP packets.
Say there are 3 threads running, 1-3. If GDB tries to stop thread 1,
2 and 3, and then waits for their stops, but meanwhile say, thread 2
exits, GDB hangs forever waiting for a stop for thread 2 that won't
ever happen.
This patch fixes the issue by adding support for thread exit events to
the protocol. However, we don't want these always enabled, as they're
useless most of the time, and would slow down remote debugging. So I
made it so that GDB can enable/disable them, and then made gdb do that
around the cases that need it, which currently is only
infrun.c:stop_all_threads.
In turn, if we have thread exit events, then the extra "thread x
exited" traffic slows down attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp enough
that gdb has trouble keeping up with new threads that are spawned
while gdb tries to stop existing ones. To fix that I added support
for the counterpart thread created events too. Enabling those when we
try to stop threads ensures that new threads never get a chance to
themselves start new threads, killing the race.

There's currently no non-stop equivalent of the all-stop ^C (\003)
"packet" that GDB sends when a ctrl-c is pressed while a foreground
command is active. There's vCont;t, but that's defined to cause a
"signal 0" stop.
This fixes many tests that type ^C, when testing with extended-remote
with "maint set target-non-stop on". E.g.:

The target_process_qsupported method is called for each qSupported
feature that the common code does not recognize. The only current
implementation, for x86 Linux (x86_linux_process_qsupported), assumes
that it either is called with the "xmlRegisters=i386" feature, or that
it is isn't called at all, indicating the connected GDB predates x86
XML descriptions.
That's a bad assumption however. If GDB sends in a new/unknown (to
core gdbserver) feature after "xmlRegisters=i386", say, something like
qSupported:xmlRegisters=i386;UnknownFeature+, then when
target_process_qsupported is called for "UnknownFeature+",
x86_linux_process_qsupported clears the 'use_xml' global and calls
x86_linux_update_xmltarget, and gdbserver ends up _not_ reporting a
XML description...
This commit changes the target_process_qsupported API to instead pass
down a vector of unprocessed qSupported features in one go.
(There's an early call to target_process_qsupported(NULL) that
indicates "starting qSupported processing". There's no matching call
to mark the end of processing, though. I first fixed this by passing
(char *)-1 to indicate that, and adjusted the x86 backend to only
clear 'use_xml' when qSupported processing starts, and then only call
x86_linux_update_xmltarget() when (char *)-1 was passed. However, I
wasn't that happy with the hack and came up this alternative version.)

There's two ways to set breakpoints in GDBServer.
- GDBServer setting its own breakpoints, through API set_breakpoint_at.
- GDBServer setting breakpoints according to the information in Z
packets, through API set_gdb_breakpoint.
Before this patch the breakpoint kinds were a concept unique to GDB and Z
packets, as GDBServer never had to set different kinds of breakpoint on its
own.
This patch teaches GDBServer to handle breakpoint kinds for its own
breakpoints. It generalizes the breakpoint kind as per Z packets to
represent different kinds of breakpoints directly set by GDBServer also.
GDBServer now querys breakpoint_kind_from_pc to know what breakpoint kind to
set on its own.
As the kind is now a differentiating factor equivalent to size for the
breakpoint struct and that it's size can be queried using
sw_breakpoint_from_kind, the size field has been replaced with the kind field.
All references to size are now replaced by kind or a call to bp_size that wraps
sw_breakpoing_from_kind and returns the size of the breakpoint in memory.
To fetch the software breakpoint data bp_opcode is called and wraps the
sw_breakpoint_from_kind call.

Nowadays, GDB only knows whether architecture supports hardware single
step or software single step (through gdbarch hook software_single_step),
and for a given instruction or instruction sequence, GDB knows how to
do single step (hardware or software). However, GDB doesn't know whether
the target supports hardware single step. It is possible that the
architecture doesn't support hardware single step, such as arm, but
the target supports, such as simulator. This was discussed in this
thread https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-12/msg00033.html before.
I encounter this problem for aarch64 multi-arch support. When aarch64
debugs arm program, gdbarch is arm, so software single step is still
used. However, the underneath linux kernel does support hardware
single step, so IWBN to use it.
This patch is to add a new target_ops hook to_can_do_single_step, and
only use it in arm_linux_software_single_step to decide whether or not
to use hardware single step. On the native aarch64 linux target, 1 is
returned. On other targets, -1 is returned. On the remote target, if
the target supports s and S actions in the vCont? reply, then target
can do single step. However, old GDBserver will send s and S in the
reply to vCont?, which will confuse new GDB. For example, old GDBserver
on arm-linux will send s and S in the reply to vCont?, but it doesn't
support hardware single step. On the other hand, new GDBserver, on
arm-linux for example, will not send s and S in the reply to vCont?,
but old GDB thinks it doesn't support vCont packet at all. In order
to address this problem, I add a new qSupported feature vContSupported,
which indicates GDB wants to know the supported actions in the reply
to vCont?, and qSupported response contains vContSupported if the
stub is able tell supported vCont actions in the reply of vCont?.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
then, GDB knows the stub can do single step, and may stop using software
single step even the architecture doesn't support hardware single step.
If the patched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on arm, the last vCont?
reply will become:
<- vCont;c;C;t
GDB thinks the target doesn't support single step, so it will use software
single step.
If the patched GDB talks with unpatched GDBserver, the RSP traffic is like
this:
-> $qSupported:...+;vContSupported+
<- ...+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
although GDBserver returns s and S, GDB still thinks GDBserver may not
support single step because it doesn't support vContSupported.
If the unpatched GDB talks with patched GDBserver on x86, the RSP traffic
is like:
-> $qSupported:...+;
<- ...+;vContSupported+
...
-> $vCont?
<- vCont;c;C;t;s;S;r
Since GDB doesn't sent vContSupported in the qSupported feature, GDBserver
sends s and S regardless of the support of hardware single step.

This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets. Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected. Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.
This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.
IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.
When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process. The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process. This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:
* deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
wait/sigsuspend occurs
* correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process
We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".
When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events. Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data. The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.
At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB. However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.
* Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
to set up the program and address spaces. The motivation for this
is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
when it calls target_gdbarch.
* We call a new target function, target_follow_exec. This function
allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c. The static
string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost. The
execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
REGISTRY field. All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
defined in remote.c.

Clearly this means that a thread pushed a stop reply in the event
queue, and then before GDB confused the event, the whole process died,
along with its thread. But the pending thread event was left
dangling. When GDB fetched that event, gdbserver looked up the
corresponding thread, but found NULL; not expecting this, gdbserver
crashes when it tries to read this thread's registers.

* inferiors.c (remove_thread): Discard any pending stop reply for
this thread.
* server.c (remove_all_on_match_pid): Rename to ...
(remove_all_on_match_ptid): ... this. Work with a filter ptid
instead of a pid.
(discard_queued_stop_replies): Change parameter to a ptid. Now
extern.
(handle_v_kill, kill_inferior_callback)
(process_serial_event): Adjust.
(captured_main): Call initialize_notif before starting the
program, thus before threads are created.
* server.h (discard_queued_stop_replies): Declare.
In all-stop mode, if the current thread disappears while stopping all
threads, gdbserver calls set_desired_thread(0) ['0' means "I want the
continue thread"] which just picks the first thread in the list.
This looks like a dangerous thing to do. GDBserver continues
processing whatever it was doing, but to the wrong thread. If
debugging more than one process, we may even pick the wrong process.
Instead, GDBserver should detect the situation and bail out of
whatever is was doing.
The backends used to pay attention to the set 'cont_thread' (the Hc
thread, used in the old way to resume threads, before vCont), but all
such 'cont_thread' checks have been eliminated meanwhile. The
remaining implicit dependencies that I found on there being a selected
thread in the backends are in the Ctrl-C handling, which some backends
use as thread to send a signal to. Even that seems to me to be better
handled by always using the first thread in the list or by using the
signal_pid PID.
In order to make this a systematic approach, I'm making
set_desired_thread never fallback to a random thread, and instead end
up with current_thread == NULL, like already done in non-stop mode.
Then I updated all callers to handle the situation.
I stumbled on this while fixing other bugs exposed by
gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp test. The problems I saw were fixed
in a different way, but in any case, I think the potential for
problems is more or less obvious, and the resulting code looks a bit
less magical to me.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, w/ native-extended-gdbserver board.

* linux-low.c (wait_for_sigstop): Always switch to no thread
selected if the previously current thread dies.
* lynx-low.c (lynx_request_interrupt): Use the first thread's
process instead of the current thread's.
* remote-utils.c (input_interrupt): Don't check if there's no
current thread.
* server.c (gdb_read_memory, gdb_write_memory): If setting the
current thread to the general thread fails, error out.

Running gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp.exp against
gdbserver sometimes FAILs because GDBserver drops the connection, but
the logs leave no clue on what the reason could be. Running manually
a few times, I saw the same:
$ ./gdbserver/gdbserver --multi :9999 testsuite/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp
Process testsuite/gdb.threads/process-dies-while-handling-bp created; pid = 12766
Listening on port 9999
Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
Listening on port 9999
Child exited with status 0
Child exited with status 0
What happened is that an exception escaped and gdbserver reopened the
connection, which led to that second "Listening on port 9999" output.
The error was a failure to access registers from a now-dead thread.
The exception probably shouldn't have escaped here, but meanwhile,
this at least makes the issue less mysterious.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
