Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] fbsd-nat: Fix thread_alive against a running thread.
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 12:20:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230717192039.13976-6-jhb@FreeBSD.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230717192039.13976-1-jhb@FreeBSD.org>

FreeBSD's ptrace fails requests with EBUSY against a running process.
Report that the thread is alive instead of dead if ptrace fails with
EBUSY.

This fixes an internal error in the gdb.threads/detach-step-over.exp
test where one process was detached while a thread in a second process
was being stepped.  The core incorrectly assumed the stepping thread
had vanished and discarded the pending stepping state.  When the
thread later reported a SIGTRAP from completing the step, this
triggered an assertion.
