From d43abcf91c5ed55443d26cd8c7721bd8409a7aff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilya Leoshkevich Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2023 22:50:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] s390: discard .interp section commit e9c9cb90e76ffaabcc7ca8f275d9e82195fd6367 upstream. When debugging vmlinux with QEMU + GDB, the following GDB error may occur: (gdb) c Continuing. Warning: Cannot insert breakpoint -1. Cannot access memory at address 0xffffffffffff95c0 Command aborted. (gdb) The reason is that, when .interp section is present, GDB tries to locate the file specified in it in memory and put a number of breakpoints there (see enable_break() function in gdb/solib-svr4.c). Sometimes GDB finds a bogus location that matches its heuristics, fails to set a breakpoint and stops. This makes further debugging impossible. The .interp section contains misleading information anyway (vmlinux does not need ld.so), so fix by discarding it.
