HMP command gdbserver used to emit two error messages for certain
errors. For instance, with -M none:
(qemu) gdbserver
gdbstub: meaningless to attach gdb to a machine without any CPU.
Could not open gdbserver on device 'tcp::1234'
The first message is the specific error, and the second one a generic
additional message that feels superfluous to me.
Commit c0e6b8b798 (system: propagate Error to gdbserver_start (and
other device setups)) turned the first message into a warning:
warning: gdbstub: meaningless to attach gdb to a machine without any CPU.
Could not open gdbserver on device 'tcp::1234'
This is arguably worse.
hmp_gdbserver() passes &error_warn to gdbserver_start(), so that
failure gets reported as warning, and then additionally emits the
generic error on failure. This is a misuse of &error_warn.
Instead, receive the error in &err and report it, as usual. With
this, gdbserver reports just the error:
gdbstub: meaningless to attach gdb to a machine without any CPU.
