This commit adds multi-target support to GDB. What this means is that
with this commit, GDB can now be connected to different targets at the
same time. E.g., you can debug a live native process and a core dump
at the same time, connect to multiple gdbservers, etc.
Actually, the word "target" is overloaded in gdb. We already have a
target stack, with pushes several target_ops instances on top of one
another. We also have "info target" already, which means something
completely different to what this patch does.
So from here on, I'll be using the "target connections" term, to mean
an open process_stratum target, pushed on a target stack. This patch
makes gdb have multiple target stacks, and multiple process_stratum
targets open simultaneously. The user-visible changes / commands will
also use this terminology, but of course it's all open to debate.
User-interface-wise, not that much changes. The main difference is
that each inferior may have its own target connection.
A target connection (e.g., a target extended-remote connection) may
support debugging multiple processes, just as before.
Say you're debugging against gdbserver in extended-remote mode, and
you do "add-inferior" to prepare to spawn a new process, like:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
...
(gdb) start
...
(gdb) add-inferior
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) file a.out
...
(gdb) start
...
At this point, you have two inferiors connected to the same gdbserver.
With this commit, GDB will maintain a target stack per inferior,
instead of a global target stack.
To preserve the behavior above, by default, "add-inferior" makes the
new inferior inherit a copy of the target stack of the current
inferior. Same across a fork - the child inherits a copy of the
target stack of the parent. While the target stacks are copied, the
targets themselves are not. Instead, target_ops is made a
refcounted_object, which means that target_ops instances are
refcounted, which each inferior counting for a reference.
What if you want to create an inferior and connect it to some _other_
target? For that, this commit introduces a new "add-inferior
-no-connection" option that makes the new inferior not share the
current inferior's target. So you could do:
(gdb) target extended-remote :9999
Remote debugging using :9999
...
(gdb) add-inferior -no-connection
[New inferior 2]
Added inferior 2
(gdb) inferior 2
[Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 <null>
(gdb) tar extended-remote :10000
Remote debugging using :10000
...
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 18401 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
* 2 process 18450 target:/home/pedro/tmp/main
(gdb)
A following patch will extended "info inferiors" to include a column
indicating which connection an inferior is bound to, along with a
couple other UI tweaks.
Other than that, debugging is the same as before. Users interact with
inferiors and threads as before. The only difference is that
inferiors may be bound to processes running in different machines.
That's pretty much all there is to it in terms of noticeable UI
changes.
On to implementation.
Since we can be connected to different systems at the same time, a
ptid_t is no longer a unique identifier. Instead a thread can be
identified by a pair of ptid_t and 'process_stratum_target *', the
later being the instance of the process_stratum target that owns the
process/thread. Note that process_stratum_target inherits from
target_ops, and all process_stratum targets inherit from
process_stratum_target. In earlier patches, many places in gdb were
converted to refer to threads by thread_info pointer instead of
ptid_t, but there are still places in gdb where we start with a
pid/tid and need to find the corresponding inferior or thread_info
objects. So you'll see in the patch many places adding a
process_stratum_target parameter to functions that used to take only a
ptid_t.
Since each inferior has its own target stack now, we can always find
the process_stratum target for an inferior. That is done via a
inf->process_target() convenience method.
Since each inferior has its own target stack, we need to handle the
"beneath" calls when servicing target calls. The solution I settled
with is just to make sure to switch the current inferior to the
inferior you want before making a target call. Not relying on global
context is just not feasible in current GDB. Fortunately, there
aren't that many places that need to do that, because generally most
code that calls target methods already has the current context
pointing to the right inferior/thread. Note, to emphasize -- there's
no method to "switch to this target stack". Instead, you switch the
current inferior, and that implicitly switches the target stack.
In some spots, we need to iterate over all inferiors so that we reach
all target stacks.
Native targets are still singletons. There's always only a single
instance of such targets.
Remote targets however, we'll have one instance per remote connection.
The exec target is still a singleton. There's only one instance. I
did not see the point of instanciating more than one exec_target
object.
After vfork, we need to make sure to push the exec target on the new
inferior. See exec_on_vfork.
For type safety, functions that need a {target, ptid} pair to identify
a thread, take a process_stratum_target pointer for target parameter
instead of target_ops *. Some shared code in gdb/nat/ also need to
gain a target pointer parameter. This poses an issue, since gdbserver
doesn't have process_stratum_target, only target_ops. To fix this,
this commit renames gdbserver's target_ops to process_stratum_target.
I think this makes sense. There's no concept of target stack in
gdbserver, and gdbserver's target_ops really implements a
process_stratum-like target.
The thread and inferior iterator functions also gain
process_stratum_target parameters. These are used to be able to
iterate over threads and inferiors of a given target. Following usual
conventions, if the target pointer is null, then we iterate over
threads and inferiors of all targets.
I tried converting "add-inferior" to the gdb::option framework, as a
preparatory patch, but that stumbled on the fact that gdb::option does
not support file options yet, for "add-inferior -exec". I have a WIP
patchset that adds that, but it's not a trivial patch, mainly due to
need to integrate readline's filename completion, so I deferred that
to some other time.
In infrun.c/infcmd.c, the main change is that we need to poll events
out of all targets. See do_target_wait. Right after collecting an
event, we switch the current inferior to an inferior bound to the
target that reported the event, so that target methods can be used
while handling the event. This makes most of the code transparent to
multi-targets. See fetch_inferior_event.
infrun.c:stop_all_threads is interesting -- in this function we need
to stop all threads of all targets. What the function does is send an
asynchronous stop request to all threads, and then synchronously waits
for events, with target_wait, rinse repeat, until all it finds are
stopped threads. Now that we have multiple targets, it's not
efficient to synchronously block in target_wait waiting for events out
of one target. Instead, we implement a mini event loop, with
interruptible_select, select'ing on one file descriptor per target.
For this to work, we need to be able to ask the target for a waitable
file descriptor. Such file descriptors already exist, they are the
descriptors registered in the main event loop with add_file_handler,
inside the target_async implementations. This commit adds a new
target_async_wait_fd target method that just returns the file
descriptor in question. See wait_one / stop_all_threads in infrun.c.
The 'threads_executing' global is made a per-target variable. Since
it is only relevant to process_stratum_target targets, this is where
it is put, instead of in target_ops.
You'll notice that remote.c includes some FIXME notes. These refer to
the fact that the global arrays that hold data for the remote packets
supported are still globals. For example, if we connect to two
different servers/stubs, then each might support different remote
protocol features. They might even be different architectures, like
e.g., one ARM baremetal stub, and a x86 gdbserver, to debug a
host/controller scenario as a single program. That isn't going to
work correctly today, because of said globals. I'm leaving fixing
that for another pass, since it does not appear to be trivial, and I'd
rather land the base work first. It's already useful to be able to
debug multiple instances of the same server (e.g., a distributed
cluster, where you have full control over the servers installed), so I
think as is it's already reasonable incremental progress.
Current limitations:
- You can only resume more that one target at the same time if all
targets support asynchronous debugging, and support non-stop mode.
It should be possible to support mixed all-stop + non-stop
backends, but that is left for another time. This means that
currently in order to do multi-target with gdbserver you need to
issue "maint set target-non-stop on". I would like to make that
mode be the default, but we're not there yet. Note that I'm
talking about how the target backend works, only. User-visible
all-stop mode works just fine.
- As explained above, connecting to different remote servers at the
same time is likely to produce bad results if they don't support the
exact set of RSP features.

In MI mode, print_ada_task_info can crash in find_thread_ptid when

avoids the problem by checking for this case.
Because this is Ada-specific, and because Joel approved it internally,
I am checking it in.

This introduces a new "metadata" style and changes many places in gdb
to use it. The idea here is to let the user distinguish gdb output
from output that (conceptually at least) comes directly from the
inferior. The newly-styled category includes text that gdb
traditionally surrounds in "<...>", like "<unavailable>".
I only added a single test for this. In many cases this output is
difficult to test. Also, while developing this errors in the
implementation of the new printf formats showed up as regressions.

A recent change enhanced a couple of notifications about Ada tasks to
include the task's name in addition to the task's number. That change
also modified the output of the "info tasks" when printing the detailed
information of one given task. I believe this change was unintentionally
left over from the initial version after it was decided that quoting
the task's name should not be done. This patch therefore undoes this
part of the patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (info_task): Remove quoting of the task's name.
Tested on x86_64-linux, with both the official testsuite as well as
AdaCore's testsuite.
With this patch, we e.g. get:
[Switching to task 2 "task_list(1)"]
[Current task is 2 "task_list(1)"]
instead of
[Switching to task 2]
[Current task is 2]
The logic to produce the taskno optionally followed
by the task name has been factorized in the task_to_str function.
Task names are output between double quotes in the new messages,
similarly to what GDB does for thread names.
However, no quotes are put around task names in 'info tasks' Name column.
This was discussed with Tom, that preferred no quotes there, while I
was more in favour of visual consistency.
I discussed with a few more users, which led to (exactly) 50% preferring
quotes and 50% preferring no quotes :).
To arrive to the decision to remove the quotes, the following "killing args"
were used:
* To have quotes or to not have quotes, that is the question; yes
but not *THE* question :).
* If there is not a clear majority that prefers quotes, better to
not disturb the existing user basis for a (somewhat) irrelevant
aspect.
* The opinion of the reviewer has more weight.
So, compared to the previous version, this version remotes the quotes
in 'info tasks'.
It improves the alignement of 'info tasks' output.
With this patch, we get:
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
instead of
(gdb) info task
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 555555759030 48 Runnable main_task
2 555555759e30 1 48 Selective Wait mit
(gdb)
(e.g. the first one properly shows parent and priority under the
correct header).
This is version 4 of the 'task name' patch.
Compared to version 3, the changes are:
output task names between quotes but not in 'info tasks'

With this patch, the help docs now respect 2 invariants:
* The first line of a command help is terminated by a '.' character.
* The last character of a command help is not a newline character.
Note that the changes for the last invariant were done by Tom, as part of :
[PATCH] Remove trailing newlines from help text
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-06/msg00050.html
but some occurrences have been re-introduced since then.
Some help docs had to be rephrased/restructured to respect the above
invariants.
Before this patch, print_doc_line was printing the first line
of a command help documentation, but stopping at the first '.'
or ',' character.
This was giving inconsistent results :
* The first line of command helps was sometimes '.' terminated,
sometimes not.
* The first line of command helps was not always designed to be
readable/understandable/unambiguous when stopping at the first
'.' or ',' character.
This e.g. created the following inconsistencies/problems:
< catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions
< catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names
< down-silently -- Same as the `down' command
while the new help is:
> catch exception -- Catch Ada exceptions, when raised.
> catch handlers -- Catch Ada exceptions, when handled.
> catch syscall -- Catch system calls by their names, groups and/or numbers.
> down-silently -- Same as the `down' command, but does not print anything.
Also, the command help doc should not be terminated by a newline
character, but this was not respected by all commands.
The cli-option -OPT framework re-introduced some occurences.
So, the -OPT build help framework was changed to not output newlines at the
end of %OPTIONS% replacement.
This patch changes the help documentations to ensure the 2 invariants
given above.
It implied to slightly rephrase or restructure some help docs.
Based on the above invariants, print_doc_line (called by
'apropos' and 'help' commands to print the first line of a command
help) now outputs the full first line of a command help.
This all results in a lot of small changes in the produced help docs.
There are less code changes than changes in the help docs, as a lot
of docs are produced by some code (e.g. the remote packet usage settings).

While working on the Ada task code, I noticed a few things that could
be cleaned up:
* task_list_valid_p was not set in all cases in ada_build_task_list.
This causes many needless re-fetches of the task list.
* task_list_valid_p can be bool, and various functions can also return
bool.
* Nothing checks the return value of read_known_tasks, so it can be
changed to return void.
* The call to ada_build_task_list in
ravenscar_thread_target::update_thread_list is redundant, because
this is the first thing done by iterate_over_live_ada_tasks.
Tested using the internal AdaCore test suite against a ravenscar
target.

This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
A recent change in the compiler highlighted a small weakness in
the function reading the contents of the Ada Task Control Block
(ATCB -- the data that allows us to inspect Ada tasks). As a result,
anytime we read it, we started getting some warnings. For instance,
using the gdb.ada/tasks.exp testcase...
$ gnatmake -g foo.adb
$ gdb foo
(gdb) b foo.adb:60
Breakpoint 1 at 0x403e07: file foo.adb, line 60.
(gdb) run
[...]
Thread 1 "foo" hit Breakpoint 1, foo () at foo.adb:60
60 for J in Task_List'Range loop -- STOP_HERE
... we can see that the "info tasks" command produces some warnings,
followed by the correct output.
(gdb) info tasks
!! -> warning: array or string index out of range
!! -> warning: array or string index out of range
!! -> warning: array or string index out of range
!! -> warning: array or string index out of range
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
* 1 654050 48 Runnable main_task
2 654ef0 1 48 Accept or Select Term task_list(1)
3 658680 1 48 Accept or Select Term task_list(2)
4 65be10 1 48 Accept or Select Term task_list(3)
The problem comes from the fact that read_atcb, the function responsible
for loading the contents of the ATCB, blindly tries to read some data
which is only relevant when a task is waiting for another task on
an entry call. A comment in that code's section gives a hint as to
how the information is meant to be decoded:
/* Let My_ATCB be the Ada task control block of a task calling the
entry of another task; then the Task_Id of the called task is
in My_ATCB.Entry_Calls (My_ATCB.ATC_Nesting_Level).Called_Task. */
What the comment shows is that, to get the Id of the task being called,
one has to go through the entry calls field, which is an array pointer.
Up to now, we were lucky that, for tasks that are _not_ waiting on an
entry call, its ATCB atc_nesting_level used to be set to 1, and so
we were able to silently read some irrelevant data. But a recent change
now causes this field to be zero instead, and this triggers the warning,
since we are now trying to read outside of the array's range (arrays
in Ada often start at index 1, as is the case here).
We avoid this issue by simply only reading that data when the data
is actually known to be relevant (state == Entry_Caller_Sleep).
This, in turn, allows us to simplify a bit the use of the task_info->state
field, where we no longer need to check task the task has a state equal
to Entry_Caller_Sleep before using this field. Indeed, with this new
approach, we now know that, unless task_info->state == Entry_Caller_Sleep,
the state is now guaranteed to be zero. In other words, we no longer set
task_info->called_task to some random value, forcing to check the task's
state first as a way to verify that the data is not random.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.c (read_atcb): Only set task_info->called_task if
task_info->state == Entry_Caller_Sleep.
(print_ada_task_info): Do not check task_info->state before
checking task_info->called_task.
(info_task): Likewise.
The purpose of this patch is not to fix a bug per se, but rather
to robustify this function to make sure it never returns a struct
ada_task_info where some of the fields are left uninitialized.
Reading the current implementation, it attempts to methodically
set them all one by one: but it's not excluded that a future
change might miss something. A memset is cheap and make sure that
this function returns repeatable results.
This in turns allows us to remove some assignments which have become
redundant.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (read_atcb): Clear task_info before computing
the value of each of its fields.
This removes a VEC type. It requires converting ada_tasks_inferior_data
to C++ (initializing fields, allocating with new). It seems, however,
that the allocated ada_tasks_inferior_data structures are never freed
(that should be fixed separately).

This is more preparation bits for multi-target support.
In a multi-target scenario, we need to address the case of different
processes/threads running on different targets that happen to have the
same PID/PTID. E.g., we can have both process 123 in target 1, and
process 123 in target 2, while they're in reality different processes
running on different machines. Or maybe we've loaded multiple
instances of the same core file. Etc.
To address this, in my WIP multi-target branch, threads and processes
are uniquely identified by the (process_stratum target_ops *, ptid_t)
and (process_stratum target_ops *, pid) tuples respectively. I.e.,
each process_stratum instance has its own thread/process number space.
As you can imagine, that requires passing around target_ops * pointers
in a number of functions where we're currently passing only a ptid_t
or an int. E.g., when we look up a thread_info object by ptid_t in
find_thread_ptid, the ptid_t alone isn't sufficient.
In many cases though, we already have the thread_info or inferior
pointer handy, but we "lose" it somewhere along the call stack, only
to look it up again by ptid_t/pid. Since thread_info or inferior
objects know their parent target, if we pass around thread_info or
inferior pointers when possible, we avoid having to add extra
target_ops parameters to many functions, and also, we eliminate a
number of by ptid_t/int lookups.
So that's what this patch does. In a bit more detail:
- Changes a number of functions and methods to take a thread_info or
inferior pointer instead of a ptid_t or int parameter.
- Changes a number of structure fields from ptid_t/int to inferior or
thread_info pointers.
- Uses the inferior_thread() function whenever possible instead of
inferior_ptid.
- Uses thread_info pointers directly when possible instead of the
is_running/is_stopped etc. routines that require a lookup.
- A number of functions are eliminated along the way, such as:
int valid_gdb_inferior_id (int num);
int pid_to_gdb_inferior_id (int pid);
int gdb_inferior_id_to_pid (int num);
int in_inferior_list (int pid);
- A few structures and places hold a thread_info pointer across
inferior execution, so now they take a strong reference to the
(refcounted) thread_info object to avoid the thread_info pointer
getting stale. This is done in enable_thread_stack_temporaries and
in the infcall.c code.
- Related, there's a spot in infcall.c where using a RAII object to
handle the refcount would be handy, so a gdb::ref_ptr specialization
for thread_info is added (thread_info_ref, in gdbthread.h), along
with a gdb_ref_ptr policy that works for all refcounted_object types
(in common/refcounted-object.h).

This converts observers from using a special source-generating script
to be plain C++. This version of the patch takes advantage of C++11
by using std::function and variadic templates; incorporates Pedro's
patches; and renames the header file to "observable.h" (this change
eliminates the need for a clean rebuild).
Note that Pedro's patches used a template lambda in tui-hooks.c, but
this failed to compile on some buildbot instances (presumably due to
differing C++ versions); I replaced this with an ordinary template
function.
Regression tested on the buildbot.

The reasons for not supporting task switching when debugging core files
appear to now mostly be OBE. In particular, on GNU/Linux, the thread
layer is now able to retrieve the same thread info as in the live
process. So, this patch is mostly about just removing the guard
that limited the use of task switching to live processes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-tasks.c (read_atcb): Properly set task_info->ptid
when !target_has_execution as well.
(task_command): Remove error when !target_has_execution.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.ada/task_switch_in_core: New testcase.
Trying to debug a program using a stripped version of the ravenscar
runtime, we can get the following error:
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
Cannot find Ada_Task_Control_Block type. Aborting
This is because the ravenscar-thread layer makes the assumption that
the runtime is built the way we expect it, meaning that the Ada tasking
units we rely on for Ada tasking debugging, are built with debugging
information, and that this debug information has not been stripped from
the runtime.
When this assumption is not true, resuming such a program can trigger
the error above, which then leads GDB a little confused. For instance,
we can see things like:
(gdb) bt
Target is executing.
This patch fixes the issue by disabling the ravenscar thread layer
if we detect that the runtime is missing some of the debugging info
we need in order to support Ada task debugging. This is the best
we can do, as the ravenscar-thread layer actually depends on the
ada-tasks layer to implement thread debugging.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (ada_get_tcb_types_info): Add declaration.
* ada-tasks.c (ada_get_tcb_types_info): Renames get_tcb_types_info.
Make non-static. Change return type to char *. Adjust code

* ravenscar-thread.c (ravenscar_inferior_created): Check that
we have enough debugging information in the runtime to support
Ada task debugging before we enable the ravenscar-thread layer.
This patch reworks the ravenscar-thread layer to remove the
assumption that the target only has 1 CPU. In particular,
when connected to a QEMU target over the remote protocol,
QEMU reports each CPU as one thread. This patch adapts
the ravenscar-thread layer to this, and adds a large comment
explaining the general design of this unit.

order to decide whether to use the target beneath or this
module's arch_ops.
(ravenscar_store_registers, ravenscar_prepare_to_store): Likewise.
(ravenscar_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint): Use
get_base_thread_from_ravenscar_task to get the underlying
thread, rather than using base_ptid.
(ravenscar_stopped_by_hw_breakpoint, ravenscar_stopped_by_watchpoint)
(ravenscar_stopped_data_address, ravenscar_core_of_thread):
Likewise.
(ravenscar_inferior_created): Do not set base_magic_null_ptid.
At the user level, this patch enhances the debugger to print the ID
of the base CPU a task is running on:
(gdb) info task 3
Ada Task: 0x13268
Name: raven1
Thread: 0x13280
LWP: 0
!!!-> Base CPU: 1
No parent
Base Priority: 127
State: Runnable
This new field is only printed when the base CPU is nonzero or, in
other words, if the base CPU info is being provided by the runtime.
For instance, on native systems, where threads/processes can "jump"
from CPU to CPU, the info is not available, and the output of the
command above then remains unchanged.
At the internal level, the real purpose of this change is to prepare
the way for ravenscar-thread to start handling SMP systems. For that,
we'll need to know which CPU each task is running on... More info
on that in the commit that actually adds support for it.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* ada-lang.h (struct ada_task_info) <base_cpu>: New field.
* ada-lang.c (struct atcb_fieldno) <base_cpu>: New field.
(get_tcb_types_info): Set fieldnos.base_cpu.
(read_atcb): Set task_info->base_cpu.
(info_task): Print "Base CPU" info if set by runtime.
This introduces ui_out_emit_table, similar to the other existing
ui_out RAII classes, and then uses it in a number of places. This
replaces some cleanups.

block-structured and did not involve any changes other than the
obvious replacement.

This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This commit changes GDB to track thread numbers per-inferior. Then,
if you're debugging multiple inferiors, GDB displays
"inferior-num.thread-num" instead of just "thread-num" whenever it
needs to display a thread:
(gdb) info inferiors
Num Description Executable
1 process 6022 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
* 2 process 6037 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
1.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6022) "threads" (running)
1.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6028) "threads" (running)
1.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6032) "threads" (running)
2.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1700 (LWP 6037) "threads" (running)
2.2 Thread 0x7ffff77c0700 (LWP 6038) "threads" (running)
* 2.3 Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 6039) "threads" (running)
(gdb)
...
(gdb) thread 1.1
[Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2740 (LWP 8155))]
(gdb)
...
etc.
You can still use "thread NUM", in which case GDB infers you're
referring to thread NUM of the current inferior.
The $_thread convenience var and Python's InferiorThread.num attribute
are remapped to the new per-inferior thread number. It's a backward
compatibility break, but since it only matters when debugging multiple
inferiors, I think it's worth doing.
Because MI thread IDs need to be a single integer, we keep giving
threads a global identifier, _in addition_ to the per-inferior number,
and make MI always refer to the global thread IDs. IOW, nothing
changes from a MI frontend's perspective.
Similarly, since Python's Breakpoint.thread and Guile's
breakpoint-thread/set-breakpoint-thread breakpoint methods need to
work with integers, those are adjusted to work with global thread IDs
too. Follow up patches will provide convenient means to access
threads' global IDs.
To avoid potencially confusing users (which also avoids updating much
of the testsuite), if there's only one inferior and its ID is "1",
IOW, the user hasn't done anything multi-process/inferior related,
then the "INF." part of thread IDs is not shown. E.g,.:
(gdb) info inferiors

As Pedro suggested on gdb-patches@ (see
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00714.html), this
change makes symbol lookup functions return a structure that includes
both the symbol found and the block in which it was found. This makes
it possible to get rid of the block_found global variable and thus makes
block hunting explicit.

When GDB wants to sync the thread list with the target's (e.g., due to
"info threads"), it calls update_thread_list:
update_thread_list (void)
{
prune_threads ();
target_find_new_threads ();
update_threads_executing ();
}
And then prune_threads does:
prune_threads (void)
{
struct thread_info *tp, *next;
for (tp = thread_list; tp; tp = next)
{
next = tp->next;
if (!thread_alive (tp))
delete_thread (tp->ptid);
}
}
Calling thread_live on each thread one by one is expensive.
E.g., on Linux, it ends up doing kill(SIG0) once for each thread. Not
a big deal, but still a bunch of syscalls...
With the remote target, it's cumbersome. That thread_alive call ends
up generating one T packet per thread:
Sending packet: $Tp2141.2150#82...Packet received: OK

That seems a bit silly when target_find_new_threads method
implementations will always fetch the whole current set of target
threads, and then add those that are not in GDB's thread list, to
GDB's thread list.
This patch thus pushes down the responsibility of pruning dead threads
to the target_find_new_threads method instead, so a target may
implement pruning dead threads however it wants.
Once we do that, target_find_new_threads becomes a misnomer, so the
patch renames it to target_update_thread_list.
The patch doesn't attempt to do any optimization to any target yet.
It simply exports prune_threads, and makes all implementations of
target_update_thread_list call that. It's meant to be a no-op.
