Re: [patch] thread info - automatic skip frames


Hi Everyone,

I developed this patch to support using kgdb on the x86-64 linux kernel.

The patch adds an option to gdb to skip over boring frames
in the "thread info" results.  This is useful when most of
the threads are stopped in the context switch code.  It lets
you see the frame which shows why the the thread blocked.

Use:
	set skip-frame thread_return,schedule_timeout

I think the first thing to do is see this thread:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2004-03/msg00019.html
through to resolution. At present it isn't clear that the changes are needed.
