Subject: [RFC PATCH] gdbstub: use a better signal when we halt for IO reasons
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2023 13:19:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231123131905.2640498-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)

The gdb description GDB_SIGNAL_IO is "I/O possible" and by default gdb
will try and restart the guest, getting us nowhere. Report
GDB_SIGNAL_STOP instead which should at least halt the session at the
failure point.
