Yes, it was a bug with my series. Due to doing set_cpu in
'gdb_refresh_regcache'. The issue occured as I haven't considered
arbitrary tasks in my series, which gets solved in your patches.
It was like this:
'set 1' (sets task context in crash to 'systemd')
-> 'change_gdb_cpu_context'
-> 'gdb_refresh_regcache (cpu 5)'
-> set_context (active task on cpu 5) # this was the bug
This causes 'set' itself to switch always to active tasks.
It's because when doing sync from gdb, it only knows the CPU number, and
asks crash to set context before trying to get registers, and crash sets
this context to active task on CPU 5, and thus gdb reads register for
the active task.
This gets solved with your approach of using 'add_silent_thread' which
indirectly causes gdb to refresh regcache, and thus not needing to call
'gdb_refresh_regcache'.
Also, with Alexey's patch moving 'crash_target_init' to later in the
initialisation, we can also possibly remove 'gdb_refresh_regcache'
later, if CPU 0 isn't initialised at a time when crash has
machdep->get_cpu_reg = NULL.
Really sorry Tao, for causing the confusion here.
