Hello Ulrich (or anyone else acquainted with gdb),
Could the gdb test suite be run on a kernel with the below patch
applied
please? A confirmation that this patch doesn't regress gdb is required before this can move ahead. Quick feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Nicolas. I'm afraid Ulrich is away this week and I'm not really set up for testing with different kernels. GDB is easy to build and test - a native configure; make; make check should be fine.
Hi Nicolas, actually I'm already back today. I'll be happy to verify that this patch doesn't regress GDB. It'll take me a while to set up building a kernel with the patch, but I should hopefully have results later today or maybe tomorrow ...
OK that would be great. Since you worked on gdb issues surrounding this kernel code, you should already know what kind of failure to look for.
