Hi Omair,
I manged to reproduce it with GDBserver, 1.exe is a simple program calls
sleep,

$ ./gdbserver/gdbserver  --multi :1234 ./1.exe
$ ./gdb ./1.exe
(gdb) target extended-remote :1234
Remote debugging using :1234
...
0x00007ffff7ddb2d0 in ?? () from target:/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(gdb) r
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y

This is consistent to the bug reported
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+bug/1594341

I set watchpoint on inferior->control.stop_soon and inferior_ptid, so I
find that inferior_ptid is reset in generic_mourn_inferior,

(gdb) r
The program being debugged has been started already.
Start it from the beginning? (y or n) y
Hardware watchpoint 3: inferior_ptid

Old value = {m_pid = 643, m_lwp = 643, m_tid = 0}
New value = {m_pid = 0, m_lwp = 643, m_tid = 0}

however, this leads me thinking that why don't we reset inferior too?
Note that generic_mourn_inferior calls exit_inferior_1, where various
fields of inferior are "reset".  The patch below fixes the problem with
gdbserver, does it work with you on OpenOCD?

Hi Yao,

Your patch fixes the issue with openOCD stub. I was a little reluctant to
make a generic change with regards to reseting inferior control structure.

If there isnt a need to preserve inferior control structure in any case
then your change is the right solution.

I opened PR 22849 for this issue.  Pushed patch to both master and 8.1
branch.
