Description Alicia Boya García 2017-09-14 17:21:12 UTC 
How to reproduce (as a Bash snippet):

cat > /tmp/a.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    puts("hi\n");
    return 0;
}
EOF
gcc -g -O0 -o /tmp/a /tmp/a.c
gdbserver localhost:5000 /tmp/a &
gdb -q /tmp/a <<EOF
target remote localhost:5000
quit
EOF

Expected behavior:

The client connects to the server and quits without errors.

Actual behavior:

The server crashes when the client connects:

Remote debugging from host 127.0.0.1
../../../gdb/gdbserver/regcache.c:264: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.
Unknown register pkru requested

This is only reproducible in hosts that support the Intel Protection Keys for Userspace x86 extension (lscpu |grep -w pku).

Version:

GNU gdbserver (GDB) Fedora 8.0.1-26.fc26
GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 8.0.1-26.fc26

Updating status then.  Waldfred, if your account doesn't let you do that yourself, please let me know.

And, I believe the bug is fixed in both master and 8.0 branch, right?
