[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] gdbstub: Send a reply to the vKill packet.

[Sandra Loosemore <sandra@codesourcery.com>]

Per the GDB remote protocol documentation

https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Packets.html#index-vKill-packet

the debug stub is expected to send a reply to the 'vKill' packet.  At
least some versions of GDB crash if the gdb stub simply exits without
sending a reply.  This patch fixes QEMU's gdb stub to conform to the
expected behavior.

Note that QEMU's existing handling of the legacy 'k' packet is
correct: in that case GDB does not expect a reply, and QEMU does not
send one.
