From: Vyacheslav Barinov Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2018 15:13:29 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Warn if /proc is not accessible X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b919490e8ba30bf1d6941df0ed112b0e557017e;p=binutils-gdb.git Warn if /proc is not accessible There's a buildroot where I want to debug a binary, and I tried to connect to it from outside, but got very weird errors like architecture mismatch or protocol errors. At last, after switching on '--debug' for gdbserver I found a message 'Can't open /proc/pid/' message and suddenly found that I forgot to mount procfs in my buildroot. Make discovering the problem easier by making GDB / GDBserver warn (even without --debug) if /proc can not be accessed. Native debugging: (gdb) start Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x400835: file test.c, line 10. Starting program: /tmp/test warning: /proc is not accessible. GDBserver/remote debugging: $ ./gdbserver :9999 ./gdbserver gdbserver: /proc is not accessible. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-07-04 Vyacheslav Barinov Pedro Alves * linux-nat.c (linux_init_ptrace): Rename to ...
