Detection of a running target/process

Hi,

Created a BZ regarding this some time ago: 
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27439

Will try this list and see if anyone has an idea.

As i understand it the RSP-protocol has the "stop reply" packets used by 
an RSP-stub/GDB-server to inform GDB-client that my debug target has 
stopped. But i cant find any information if its possible for an 
RSP-stub/GDB-server to inform the GDB-client if my debug target starts 
to execute by some external event not controlled by the GDB-client itself.

For example:
* During a GDB session (target halted) i repower/reset an development 
board and the process starts to execute. Can GDB be notified about this?

* In a heterogeneous multi-core scenario where the starting/stopping of 
the cores are controlled by ARM cortex-M Cross Triggering. Different 
cores are controlled by multiple GDB-sessions. Perhaps the same issue as 
above. One GDB-session needs to get notified that the debug target 
started to execute.

Anyone know if there exists some RSP support for this. Some sort of 
"Running reply"?

Thanks in advance
Anders Jansson
