[RFA]: Modified Watchthreads Patch
- From: Jeff Johnston <jjohnstn at redhat dot com>

- Subject: [RFA]: Modified Watchthreads Patch
The following is a modified version of my thread watchpoint patch from
October/November. It removes the code I had used to switch between lwp ptids
and thread ptids now that Daniel's lwp patch is in place. It uses the former
version of my observer that is linux-specific and is activated in attach_thread
in linux-thread-db.c. Eli, I renamed the observer as asked to indicate this.
I also addressed Ulrich's comments regarding simplifying the S390 code and using
the s390_fix_watch_points call to actually put the watchpoints on the new thread.
Ulrich/Daniel can you take a look to verify everything is in place. Daniel, I
realize that this touches files that are currently in patch state for you. I
have no problem waiting for your latest patch to apply and retrofitting my
changes at check-in if necessary.
As I mentioned before, more is required to get ia64 threaded watchpoints to
work. For S390, this change allows it to set and recognize threaded watchpoints.
