Subject: [PATCH v3 13/44] gdb, ze: add TARGET_WAITKIND_UNAVAILABLE
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2025 11:37:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250801-upstream-intelgt-mvp-v3-13-59ce0f87075b@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250801-upstream-intelgt-mvp-v3-0-59ce0f87075b@intel.com>
From: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com>
This new WAITKIND means that we cannot interact with the thread at the
moment. The thread may become available again at a later time.
This will be used to model idle threads on Intel GT devices.
