+Subject: [PATCH] Fix PR gdb/19828: gdb -p <process from a container>: internal
+ error
+
+When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir
+for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them.
+
+Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program
+is multi threaded and linked with pthreads. Thus when GDB soon after
+attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll
+add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found
+lower-level LWPs.
+
+If, however, GDB fails to find/load a matching libthread_db, nothing
+is adding the LWPs to the thread list. And because of that, "detach"
+hits an internal error:
+
+ (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: attach
+ info threads
+ Id Target Id Frame
+ * 1 LWP 6891 "clone-attach-de" 0x00007f87e5fd0790 in __nanosleep_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84
+ (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: info threads shows two LWPs
+ detach
+ .../src/gdb/thread.c:1010: internal-error: is_executing: Assertion `tp' failed.
+ A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
+ further debugging may prove unreliable.
+ Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
+ FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: detach (GDB internal error)
