Description
Describe the bug
gdb is unable to show threads list while debugging an executable on Zephyr QEMU targets. Instead of full thread list only the one running thread (current thread) is shown.
This is only an issue with the various Zephyr QEMU targets; thread awareness works as expected with the hardware targets I have tested, through OpenOCD.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- west build -b qemu_x86 zephyr/samples/philosophers/
- ninja debugserver
- [zephyrsdk path]/x86_64-zephyr-elf/bin/x86_64-zephyr-elf-gdb zephyr/build/zephyr/zephyr.elf
- Halt execution and issue
info threads - See only one running thread
Expected behavior
A complete list of all program threads shown, preferably with their name and priority.
Impact
This makes it harder to debug highly concurrent applications for issues such as thread synchronization.
Logs and console output
Expected output (example from board iotdk):
west debug
(gdb) continue
(gdb) ^C
(gdb) info threads
