Subject: [PATCH] Fix AIX thread exit events not being reported and UI to show  kernel thread ID.
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 17:16:56 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240429114655.13046-1-akamath996@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Aditya Vidyadhar Kamath <Aditya.Kamath1@ibm.com>

In AIX when a thread exits we were not showing that a thread exit event happened
and GDB continued to keep the terminated threads.

If we have terminated threads then the UI on info threads command will look like
(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id                                          Frame
* 1    Thread 1 (tid 26607979, running)    0xd0611d70 in _p_nsleep () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(_shr_xpg5.o)
  2    Thread 258 (tid 30998799, finished) aix-thread: ptrace (52, 30998799) returned -1 (errno = 3 The process does not exist.)

If we see the frame is not getting displayed correctly.

The reason for the same is that in AIX we were not managing thread states. In particular we do not know
when a thread terminates.

The reason being in sync_threadlists () the pbuf and gbuf lists remain the same though certain threads exit.

This patch is a fix to the same.

Also certain UI is changed.

On a new thread born and exit the UI in AIX will be similar to Linux with both user and kernel thread information.
