/* A vmcore file is a core file created by the Linux kernel at the point of
a crash. Each thread in the core file represents a real CPU core, and
the lwpid for each thread is the pid of the process that was running on
that core at the moment of the crash.
However, not every CPU core will have been running a process, some cores
will be idle. For these idle cores the CPU writes an lwpid of 0. And
of course, multiple cores might be idle, so there could be multiple
threads with an lwpid of 0.
The problem is GDB doesn't really like threads with an lwpid of 0; GDB
presents such a thread as a process rather than a thread. And GDB
certainly doesn't like multiple threads having the same lwpid, each time
a new thread is seen with the same lwpid the earlier thread (with the
same lwpid) will be deleted.
This function addresses both of these problems by assigning a fake lwpid
to any thread with an lwpid of 0.
GDB finds the lwpid information by looking at the bfd section names
which include the lwpid, e.g. .reg/NN where NN is the lwpid. This
function looks though all the section names looking for sections named
.reg/NN. If any sections are found where NN == 0, then we assign a new
unique value of NN. Then, in a second pass, any sections ending /0 are
assigned their new number.
Remember, a core file may contain multiple register sections for
different register sets, but the sets are always grouped by thread, so
we can figure out which registers should be assigned the same new
lwpid. For example, consider a core file containing:
.reg/0, .reg2/0, .reg/0, .reg2/0
This represents two threads, each thread contains a .reg and .reg2
register set. The .reg represents the start of each thread. After
renaming the sections will now look like this:
.reg/1, .reg2/1, .reg/2, .reg2/2
After calling this function the rest of the core file handling code can
treat this core file just like any other core file. */
