Push pruning old threads down to the target
When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to "info threads"), it calls update_thread_list: update_thread_list (void) { prune_threads (); target_find_new_threads (); update_threads_executing (); } And then prune_threads does: prune_threads (void) { struct thread_info *tp, *next; for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next) { next = tp->next; if (!thread_alive (tp)) delete_thread (tp->ptid); } } Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive. E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls... With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends up generating one T packet per thread: Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK Sending packet: $Tp2141.214f#b7...Packet received: OK Sending packet: $Tp2141.2141#82...Packet received: OK Sending packet: $qXfer:threads:read::0,fff#03...Packet received: l<threads>\n<thread id="p2141.2141" core="2"/>\n<thread id="p2141.214f" core="1"/>\n<thread id="p2141.2150" core="2"/>\n</threads>\n That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to GDB's thread list. This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may implement pruning dead threads however it wants. Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the patch renames it to target_update_thread_list. The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet. It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op. gdb/ 2014-10-15 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * ada-tasks.c (print_ada_task_info, task_command_1): Adjust. * bsd-uthread.c (bsd_uthread_find_new_threads): Rename to ...
