gdbstub: Implement qqemu.Pid packet

Commit Message

Dominik 'Disconnect3d' Czarnota April 4, 2025, 10:26 a.m. UTC

This patch adds support for the `qqemu.Pid` packet to the qemu
gdbstub which can be used by clients to get the QEMU process PID.

This is useful for plugins like Pwndbg [0] or gdb-pt-dump in order to
inspect the QEMU process memory through the /proc/self/{maps,mem}
interfaces. Without this feature, they have to rely on doing an
unreliable pgrep/ps output processing.

This patch has been developed by Patryk, who I included in the
Co-authored-by and who asked me to send the patch.
