# This test script tries to expose a bug in some of the uses of
# waitpid in the Linux native support within GDB.  The problem was
# spotted on systems which were heavily loaded when attaching to
# threaded test programs.  What happened was that during the initial
# attach, the loop of waitpid calls that normally received the stop
# events from each of the threads in the inferior was not receiving a
# stop event for some threads (the kernel just hadn't sent the stop
# event yet).
#
# GDB would then trigger a call to stop_all_threads which would
# continue to wait for all of the outstanding threads to stop, when
# the outstanding stop events finally arrived GDB would then
# (incorrectly) discard the stop event, resume the thread, and
# continue to wait for the thread to stop.... which it now never
# would.
#
# In order to try and expose this issue reliably, this test preloads a
# library that intercepts waitpid calls.  All waitpid calls targeting
# pid -1 with the WNOHANG flag are rate limited so that only 1 per
# second can complete.  Additional calls are forced to return 0
# indicating no event waiting.  This is enough to trigger the bug
# during the attach phase.

# This test only works on Linux
