[Crash-utility] [PATCH v5 06/14] Fix gdb_interface: restore gdb's output streams at end of gdb_interface
Currently for most gdb_interface call, in which a non-null file pointer
is passed, GDB's output stream is replaced with the passed file pointer
Due to this, 'info threads', which is a gdb passthrough, doesn't print any
thread, after support was added to get registers from crash_target:
crash> info threads
Id Target Id Frame
This empty output of 'info threads' was due to a subtle bug in
gdb_interface.
After this gdb passthrough is run, 'datatype_info' is called, with file
pointer set to null_fp (pointing to /dev/null). And after
'datatype_info' returns, any output by gdb goes to /dev/null, and hence
the output is lost.
Fix this by restoring the original output streams, after gdb_interface
has handled the output
After this patch:
crash> info threads
Id Target Id Frame
