Around a year and a half ago, I’ve asked my former company for some time to
work on an issue that was impacting the debugging capabilities in our project:
gdbserver couldn’t debug multithreaded applications running on a PowerPC32
architecture. The connection to the gdbserver was broken and it couldn’t
control the debug session anymore. Multiple people have already investigated
this problem and I had a good starting point, but we still weren’t sure in
which software component the issue lied: it could have been the toolchain, the
gdbserver, the Linux kernel or the custom patches we applied on top of the
kernel tree. We were quite far away from finding the root cause.
Here is the original patch I sent to the Linux kernel security team: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg221962.html
So you have just re-posted an old email to the mailing list just so you can link to it, likely confusing everyone on that mailing list.
Yes, so people could see my original submission. Then I’ve explained the purpose of the forward when asked, I don’t see any problem with that.
The problem is your not the main character, and the purpose of the mailing list isn’t relitigating social drama.
