I didn't mean to complain; I just wanted to point out that this fail is more
generic and affects debugging  multi-threaded inferiors in general.

The other fails you reported do seem to be there since the beginning.

It looks like the is_kernel_addr heuristic gets it wrong for 32bit inferiors
on 64-bit systems.  The heuristic checks whether the most significant bit
is set.  On 64-bit systems, the kernel is loaded into the high 64-bit area
leaving the entire 32-bit address space to 32-bit processes.  GDB checks
bit 31 since it is a 32-bit inferior.  It should still check bit 63 since it is a 64-bit
kernel.  Does GDB even know that the 32-bit inferior is running on a 64-bit
system?

There also seem to be some issues in reverse/replay stepping.  The
reverse-next command keeps going when it reached the previous
source line; same for replay next.  I need to investigate why this is.


> As I only now have a hardware capable of btrace

That's good.  I hope this feature is useful for your own debugging work.
Let me know how you like it.

Regards,
Markus.
