Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Synchronize RBS on PTRACE_ATTACH
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:24:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <475FEF19.2010707@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1196959949.6586.10.camel@elijah.suse.cz>
When attaching to a stopped process, the RSE must be explicitly
synced to user-space, so the debugger can read the correct values.
