Works nicely for me. nitpick in commit 'Let crash change gdb context':

Instead of:

```
@@ -6068,6 +6068,7 @@ void sort_tgid_array(void);
 int sort_by_tgid(const void *, const void *);

```

We can directly have:

```

```

Since 'gdb_change_cpu_context' is no more defined in any patch, and
gdb_change_thread_context is defined in crash_target.c

Thanks
