Subject: cpu, sim: Add param to force CPUs to wait for GDB
X-Git-Tag: v19.0.0.0~2697
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2baaab0ed;p=gem5.git

cpu, sim: Add param to force CPUs to wait for GDB

By setting the BaseCPU parameter wait_for_dbg_connection, the GDB
server blocks during initialisation waiting for the remote debugger to
connect before starting the simulated CPU.

Change-Id: I4d62c68ce9adf69344bccbb44f66e30b33715a1c
[ Update info message to include remote GDB port, rename param. ]
