The previous patches are still not sufficient to build gdbserver with
our copy of thread_db.h.

First, linux-low.h is including <thread_db.h> directly instead of our
gdb_thread_db.h, although thread-db.c includes the latter. Then the
'th' field of struct lwp_info is only defined if HAVE_THREAD_DB_H is
defined, which is not true if we're using our replacement copy of
thread_db.h. We have a USE_THREAD_DB symbol defined if we're building
thread-db.c that's ideal for this, however, it's currently only
defined when compiling linux-low.c (through a Makefile rule). The
patch makes it defined when compiling any file.

Oleg Nesterov told me that the Linux kernel copies the parent's ptrace
options to fork/clone children, so there's no need for GDB to do that
manually.
I was actually a bit surprised, since I thought the ptracer had to
always set the ptrace options itself, and GDB is indeed calling
PTRACE_SETOPTIONS for each new fork child, if it'll stay attached.
Looking at the history of that code, I found that is was actually I
who added that set-ptrace-options-in-children bit, back in
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-05/msg00656.html. But,
honestly, I don't recall why I needed that. I think I may have just
blindly believed it was necessary.
I then looked back at the history of all the PTRACE_SETOPTIONS code we
have, and found that gdb never did copy the ptrace options before my
patch. But, when gdbserver learnt to use PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE, at
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-10/msg00547.html, it was
made to do 'ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, new_pid, 0,
PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE)' for all new clones. Hmmm. But, GDB itself
never did that, so it can't really ever have been necessary, I
believe, otherwise GDB should have been doing it too.
(GDBserver doesn't support following forks, and so naturally doesn't
do any PTRACE_SETOPTIONS on fork children.)
So this patch removes the -I believe- unnecessary ptrace syscalls.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native/gdbserver, and on x86_64 RHEL5
native/gdbserver (Linux 2.6.18, I think a ptrace-on-utrace kernel).
No regressions.

PROBLEM:
The function linux_write_memory () in linux-low.c allocates a buffer
on the stack to hold a copy of the data to be written.
register PTRACE_XFER_TYPE *buffer = (PTRACE_XFER_TYPE *)
alloca (count * sizeof (PTRACE_XFER_TYPE));
"count" is the number of bytes to be written, rounded up to the
nearest multiple of sizeof (PTRACE_XFER_TYPE) and allowing for not
being an aligned address. The function later uses
buffer[0] = ptrace (PTRACE_PEEKTEXT, pid,
(PTRACE_ARG3_TYPE) (uintptr_t) addr, 0);
The problem is that this function can be called to write zero bytes on
an aligned address, for example when receiving an X packet of length 0
(used to test if 8-bit write is supported). Under these circumstances,
count can be zero.
Since in this case, buffer[0] may never have been allocated, the stack
is corrupted and gdbserver may crash.
SOLUTION:
Writing zero bytes should always succeed. The patch below returns
successfully early if the length is zero, so avoiding the stack
corruption.
Verified on the ARC GDB 7.5.1 port.

Addresses, as most numbers in the RSP are hex encoded, with variable

Before this patch, the ptid passed to lynx_resume was completely
ignored, and we used the current_inferior. This resulted in trying
to resume the inferior execution using the wrong ptid after having
received a thread create/exit event, because the inferior_ptid
was still set to the ptid prior to receiving the signal.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* lynx-low.c (lynx_resume): Use the resume_info parameter
to determine the ptid for the lynx_ptrace call, unless
it is equal to minus_one_ptid, in which case we use the
ptid of the current_inferior.
(lynx_wait_1): After having received a thread create/exit
event, resume the inferior's execution using the signaling
thread's ptid, rather than the old ptid.
