Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Fix "attach" infinite loop
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2023 11:56:21 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231003-attach-bug-v1-0-f5de2e583c5d@adacore.com> (raw)

A user noticed that if you strace the non-main thread of a program,
then if you try to attach gdb to that program, gdb will enter an
infinite loop.

This series fixes this bug, but has a couple extra small cleanup
patches as well.

Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 36.

      Minor cleanup in linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads
      Use gdb_dir_up in linux_proc_attach_tgid_threads
      Bail out of "attach" if a thread cannot be traced
