[Bug gdb/10267] New: ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK and function calling

["kirill at shutemov dot name" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

I've got bug in handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. Kernel version is 2.6.28.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Attach to process while it's in a syscall which use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK on
interrupt. The easiest way is to attach to process which is in nanosleep().
2. Run a syscall in context.
3. Continue the process.

Results:
Syscall(nanosleep) return error code 516(ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK). It's
kernel's internal error code and should never appear at userspace.

It seems ARM-related since I can't reproduce it on x86. I'm not sure if it's
kernel or gdb bug. Any ideas?

Example:
$ cat test.c
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
       struct timespec ts;
       int ret;

       ts.tv_sec = 100;
       ts.tv_nsec = 0;

       errno = 0;
       ret = nanosleep(&ts, NULL);
       printf("ret: %d, errno: %d\n", ret, errno);

       return 0;
}
$ gcc test.c
$ ./a.out &
$ gdb -p "$(pidof a.out)" -ex 'call getuid()' -ex 'c' -ex 'quit'
