[PATCH 0/3] linux-user: Allow gdbstub to ignore page protection

[Ilya Leoshkevich]

RFC: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-12/msg02044.html
RFC -> v1: Use /proc/self/mem and accept that this will not work
           without /proc.
           Factor out a couple functions for gdbstub testing.
           Add a test.

Hi,

I've noticed that gdbstub behaves differently from gdbserver in that it
doesn't allow reading non-readable pages. This series improves the
situation by using the same mechanism as gdbserver: /proc/self/mem. If
/proc is not mounted, we fall back to the today's implementation.

Best regards,
Ilya
