Subject: [commit] Fix thread related problem for am33 software singlestep
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2005 02:10:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051108191041.2a994728@ironwood.lan> (raw)

I've just committed the patch below.  As indicated by the ChangeLog message,
the am33 software singlestep code was occasionally trying to use the pid
associated with an already running thread for accessing memory.  The
associated ptrace() call would fail when this was attempted.

	* linux-target.c (am33_singlestep_okay): Use `pid', not
	`process->pid' when reading and writing memory since the
	latter may refer to an already running thread.
