[Bug gdb/10267] New: ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK and function calling

I've got bug in handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. Kernel version is 2.6.28.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Attach to process while it's in a syscall which use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK on
interrupt. The easiest way is to attach to process which is in nanosleep().
2. Run a syscall in context.
3. Continue the process.
Results:
Syscall(nanosleep) return error code 516(ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK). It's
kernel's internal error code and should never appear at userspace.
It seems ARM-related since I can't reproduce it on x86. I'm not sure if it's
kernel or gdb bug. Any ideas?
Example:
$ cat test.c
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
struct timespec ts;
int ret;
ts.tv_sec = 100;
ts.tv_nsec = 0;
errno = 0;
ret = nanosleep(&ts, NULL);
printf("ret: %d, errno: %d\n", ret, errno);
return 0;
}
$ gcc test.c
$ ./a.out &
$ gdb -p "$(pidof a.out)" -ex 'call getuid()' -ex 'c' -ex 'quit'
