This patch was posted upstream, but it wasn't incorporated into the
official repository until this year, when Andreas Arnez took it over and
pushed it:
commit 26d6cec4a9291f154e549fb6f4318ace6cfaa2a5
Author: Andreas Arnez <ar...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Thu Mar 22 10:02:18 2018 +0100
Make "info proc cmdline" show args on GNU/Linux
The GDB version currently packaged in Debian is older and doesn't
include this commit.
