Description Tom Tromey 2013-03-07 18:13:44 UTC
The Linux kernel added PTRACE_SEIZE and PTRACE_INTERRUPT requests
recently.  gdb and gdbserver should be changed to use these
when available.
Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2013-11-26 19:55:25 UTC
PTRACE_INTERRUPT would be helpful for the bug #14559 and bug #9425.
Also it would solve a similar problem that arises when the inferior
uses signalfd.
