Similarly to how the native Linux target was changed
and subsequently reworked in these commits:
05c06f318fd9 Linux: Access memory even if threads are running
8a89ddbda2ec Avoid /proc/pid/mem races (PR 28065)
... teach GDBserver to access memory even when the current thread is
running, by always accessing memory via /proc/PID/mem.
The existing comment:
/* Neither ptrace nor /proc/PID/mem allow accessing memory through a
running LWP. */
... is incorrect for /proc/PID/mem does allow that.
Actually, from GDB's perspective, GDBserver could already access
memory while threads were running, but at the expense of pausing all
threads for the duration of the memory access, via
prepare_to_access_memory. This new implementation does not require
pausing any thread, thus
linux_process_target::prepare_to_access_memory /
linux_process_target::done_accessing_memory become nops. A subsequent
patch will remove the whole prepare_to_access_memory infrastructure
completely.
The GDBserver linux-low.cc implementation is simpler than GDB's
linux-nat.c's, because GDBserver always adds the unfollowed vfork/fork
children to the process list immediately when the fork/vfork event is
seen out of ptrace. I.e., there's no need to keep the file descriptor
stored on a side map, we can store it directly in the process
structure.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
