Subject: [PATCH v3 00/11] Add AlwaysNonStop remote protocol extension
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 14:11:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706121124.18784-1-mohamed.bouhaouel@intel.com> (raw)
From: "Bouhaouel, Mohamed" <mohamed.bouhaouel@intel.com>
Hi,
This series introduces the AlwaysNonStop extension, enabling remote
stubs to declare mandatory non-stop mode operation. When advertised,
GDB defaults to non-stop mode and rejects attempts to disable it.
The V1/V2 approach raised 'O' and 'F' packet compatibility concerns in
non-stop mode; this extension-based design addresses those risks
(discussed with Pedro Alves).
Key change from V2:
Instead of changing the default behavior by flipping target-non-stop
auto mode from 'off' to 'on', V3 introduces a new extension
'AlwaysNonStop' that allows remote stubs to explicitly declare they must
operate in non-stop mode.
Link to previous versions:
