it as a corefile.

* gdb.base/gcore.exp: New test for generate-core-file command.
* gdb.base/gcore.c: Testcase for above.
* gdb.threads/gcore-thread.exp: New test for gcore (threaded).
Implement a "generate-core-file" command in gdb, save target state.
* gcore.c: New file. Implement new command 'generate-core-file'.
Save a corefile image of the current state of the inferior.
* linux-proc.c: Add linux-specific code for saving corefiles.
* target.h (struct target_ops): Add new target vectors for saving
corefiles; to_find_memory_regions and to_make_corefile_notes.
(target_find_memory_regions): New macro.

Allow the exec_ops vector for memory regions to be taken over.

* defs.h (exec_set_find_memory_regions): Export prototype.
* procfs.c (proc_find_memory_regions): New function, corefile method.
(procfs_make_note_section): New function, corefile method.
(init_procfs_ops): Set new target vector pointers.
(find_memory_regions_callback): New function.
(procfs_do_thread_registers): New function.
(procfs_corefile_thread_callback): New function.
* sol-thread.c (sol_find_memory_regions): New function.

* inftarg.c (inftarg_set_find_memory_regions): New function.
Allow to_find_memory_regions vector to be taken over.
(inftarg_set_make_corefile_notes): New function.
Allow to_make_corefile_notes vector to be taken over.
* thread-db.c (thread_db_new_objfile): Don't activate thread-db
interface layer if not target_has_execution (may be a corefile).
* config/i386/linux.mh: Add gcore.o to NATDEPFILES.
* config/sparc/sun4sol2.mh: Ditto.
* config/alpha/alpha-linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/arm/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/i386/x86-64linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/ia64/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/m68k/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/mips/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/powerpc/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/sparc/linux.mh: Ditto.
* infptrace.c (GDB_MAX_ALLOCA): New define.
(child_xfer_memory): Use xmalloc/xfree instead of alloca if the
size of the buffer exceeds GDB_MAX_ALLOCA (default 1 megabyte,
can be overridden with whatever value is appropriate to the host).
* infttrace.c (child_xfer_memory): Add FIXME warning about use of
alloca to allocate potentially large buffer.
* rs6000-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* symm-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* x86-64-linux-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* gdb.base/huge.exp: New test. Print a very large target data object.
(skip_huge_test): New test variable. Define if you want to skip this
test. The test reads an 8 megabyte data object from the target, so it
might be very time consuming on remote targets with a slow connection.
* gdb.base/huge.c: New file. Test case for above.
* infptrace.c (GDB_MAX_ALLOCA): New define.
(child_xfer_memory): Use xmalloc/xfree instead of alloca if the
size of the buffer exceeds GDB_MAX_ALLOCA (default 1 megabyte,
can be overridden with whatever value is appropriate to the host).

alloca to allocate potentially large buffer.
* rs6000-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.

* gdb.base/break.exp: Verify that a breakpoint on a multi-line
IF or WHILE condition puts the breakpoint at the start of
the condition.
