The port has been updated to GDB 7.12.

+ +

7.12 includes additional fixes related to tracing + vfork()s. Some of these fixes depend on changes to + ptrace() in the kernel to report a new ptrace stop when + the parent of a vfork() resumes.

+ +

Support for &os;/mips userland binaries has been committed + upstream. These patches, along with support for debugging + &os;/mips kernels, should be added to the port soon.

+ + + + Figure out why the powerpc kgdb targets are not + able to unwind the stack past the initial frame. + + Add support for more platforms (arm, aarch64) to upstream + gdb for both userland and kgdb. + + Add support for debugging powerpc vector registers. + + Add support for $_siginfo. + + Implement 'info proc' commands. + + Implement 'info os' commands. + + Debug gdb hangs related to the 'kill' command. + +
