[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] lib/igt_core: Detect gdb harder

[Ville Syrjala]

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

The current gdb detection only works for the parent igt process,
but none of its children will see the gdb and so won't trap properly
in igt_fail_assert(). Also we will not detect gdb if it was attached
after the fact. Fix all of that by looking for the "TracerPid"
information in /proc/<pid>/status. We'll leave the current "assume
parent may be gdb" approach as a fallback.

Also annoyingly by default gdb will only track a single process.
To make it track all of them, and let them all run simultanously
one needs the following incantations:
 set detach-on-fork off
 set schedule-multiple on

Maybe that will save someone from having to trawl as many
docs/gogole hits as I did.
