From 7d303841dbb6e668e5acdd9218ce82231a00a967 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vineet Gupta Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:46:56 +0530 Subject: NPTL/arc: notify kernel of the TP value Native gdb makes a ptrace (GET_THREAD_AREA) which needs to return the TP. however when libc sets up TP reg (for main thread), it doesn't call arc_settls syscall so kernel doesn't know of TP register details (moreso because clone doesnt have SETTLS flag) Note that kernel doesn't know about r25 being TP etc. This commit got lost in merge of NPTL tools into arc-mainline-dev and showed up again as STAR 9000919529 (native gdb can't debug threaded apps) ------->8--------------- [ARCLinux]# gdb ./pth Reading symbols from ./pth...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
