[PATCH] gdbstub/uprobes : uprobe_unregister with halted target

[Srikar Dronamraju]

Hi, 

This is a patch to gdbstub that provides a "workaround" for the problem
reported by Frank " gdbstub/uprobes problems: uprobe_unregister with
halted target"

I also want to know if it's possible to have soft breakpoints (or traps)
handled by gdb in multiple ways, i.e one from stub (using uprobes), the
other from gdb itself(example handle)?

I call this a workaround because this patch expects all SIGTRAPS to be
handled by stub and need not be sent to gdb for processing. i.e

(gdb) handle SIGTRAP

may not work.

However I dont think its wrong assumption to make because when gdb
inserts a breakpoint when using a remote protocol and gdb stub uses
uprobes then its better left to uprobes. In this case, when gdbstub hits
a breakpoint, it should either be handled by uprobes or passed to the
program. 

Please do let me know if this is a wrong assumption.
