[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] fix gdbserver_state pointer validation

[stephane duverger]

Hi,

This is a small patch to gdbstub rather insignificant at first sight:
fix null pointer dereference. It actually allows to take benefit of
gdb features (breakpoints/sstep) internally (ie. special purpose
board) without connecting a gdb client to the Qemu instance gdbserver
stub.

Regards,
