Improvements for testing and compilation breakage for the GDB server
on various platforms:
* In all gdbserver_tests using gdb:
Made a more general way to remove the initial start message.
* tests using threads burning cpu modified to have only 1 thread.
This makes them independent of the scheduler fairness.
* filter_gdb and filter_vgdb enhanced to anonymise
some debian 6.0/ppc specific things
some s390x/gdb 7.0, gdb 7.1 specific things
* vgdb.c: added an #include <linux/ptrace.h> to fix compilation
on s390x fedora and suse. (Christian Boerntrager)
* fixed a bug in valgrind-low.c debug log :
when a register size is 0, its image cannot be output (and register
should not be transferred).
* added a parameter --keep-unfiltered to vg_regtest.in
This will make it easier to update filter_gdb:
in case gdbserver_tests are failing due to "artificial"
differences to be filtered, re-run the tests using:
perl tests/vg_regtest --keep-unfiltered gdbserver_tests
Then a tar file with all the *.out in gdbserver_tests
will allow me to better/faster update the filter_gdb.
* made a better detection of a working PTRACE_GETREGS at compile time
and/or at run-time.
This is the patch on bug 214909 comment 69.
