[PATCH] kexec: set prstatus.pr_pid to cpu id when current->pid is 0

[Hui Zhu]

Hi,

I found that from gdb 7.1 to gdb-cvs-head cannot analyze the core file
that get from kdump.
What I got:
[New <main task>]
[New Thread 2719]
../../src/gdb/thread.c:884: internal-error: switch_to_thread:
Assertion `inf != NULL' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
That is because:
 objdump -h ./vmcore

./vmcore:     file format elf64-x86-64

Each of reg/n is a cpu core note.  It will be a GDB thread.  n is the
prstatus.pr_pid that will be the thread lwpid.  Because the 3 threads
pid is same, so GDB get error.

current->pid is 0 because this cpu is in idle.  So I add a check, set
prstatus.pr_pid to cpu id when current->pid is 0.  Then GDB work OK
with the core.

Thanks,
Hui
