Subject: gdb-attach-fail-reasons-5of5.patch

;; Print reasons for failed attach/spawn incl. SELinux deny_ptrace (BZ 786878).

;;=push+jan

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00171.html

Hi,

and here is the last bit for new SELinux 'deny_ptrace':

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786878

As even PTRACE_TRACEME fails in such case it needs to install hook for even

that event.

Thanks,

Jan

	* common/linux-ptrace.c [HAVE_SELINUX_SELINUX_H]: include

	selinux/selinux.h.

	(linux_ptrace_attach_warnings): Call linux_ptrace_create_warnings.

	(linux_ptrace_create_warnings): New.

	* common/linux-ptrace.h (linux_ptrace_create_warnings): New declaration.

	* config.in: Regenerate.

	* configure: Regenerate.

	* configure.ac: Check selinux/selinux.h and the selinux library.

	* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_me): Check the ptrace result.

	* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_create_inferior): New variable ex.  Wrap

	to_create_inferior into TRY_CATCH, call linux_ptrace_create_warnings.

gdb/gdbserver/

	* config.in: Regenerate.

	* configure: Regenerate.

	* configure.ac: Check selinux/selinux.h and the selinux library.

	* linux-low.c (linux_traceme): New function.

	(linux_create_inferior, linux_tracefork_child): Call it instead of

	direct ptrace.
