A new board file remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp
Commit Message
From: Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
This patch is to add a new board file that does real remote gdbserver
testing on localhost. This board file can be used to reproduce PR 18208.

Awesome.

These two from gdbserver-base.exp seems to be missing:
# The predefined TSVs in GDBserver.
set_board_info gdb,predefined_tsv "\\\$trace_timestamp"
set GDBFLAGS "${GDBFLAGS} -ex \"set auto-connect-native-target off\""
Guess that ideally we'd move the "native" bits out of gdbserver-base.exp
to a native-gdbserver-base.exp file, and make this new one include
gdbserver-base.exp. (TBC, it's fine with me to push it in without
doing that first).
Thanks,

Oops, I thought I checked gdbserver-base.exp before I post the patch.
Include them in the remote-gdbserver-on-localhost.exp. Patch is pushed in.

Yeah, good to move these bits into a common file. I'll do that once
PR 18208 is fixed :) fails in coredump-filter.exp are shown in my tests
for arm and aarch64 every time.

Thanks for this, Yao.
While using your board file to try to reproduce the failure, I found
that it can stale on:
(gdb) spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l user localhost
/path/to/gdb/build-original/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2346
/path/to/gdb/build-original/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coredump-filter
The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
got a INT signal, interrupted by user
It also can stale if the user needs to provide a password to log into
the system (which normally is the case). BTW, how do you use the board
in this case?
*And* it also assumes that the user will have a sshd running on
localhost, which is not always the case, right?
So maybe the board could check for those cases and act accordingly, or
at least the introductory comments on the board file could be extended
to mention those situations.
