The new monitor component at os/src/monitor is the designated successor of the gdb_monitor. This initial version, however, implements only the subset needed to inspect the memory of the monitored component(s). In contrast to the gdb_monitor, the new component supports the monitoring of multiple components, leveraging the sandbox API. It can therefore be used as a drop-in replacement for the init component. Like the gdb_monitor, the new monitor speaks the GDB protocol over Genode's terminal session. But the protocol implementation does not re-use any gdbserver code, sidestepping the complexities of POSIX. There exist two run scripts illustrating the new component. The os/run/monitor.run script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command by letting a test program monitor itself. The os/run/monitor_gdb.run script allows for the interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored components. Issue #4917
