If you have "set follow-fork child" set, then if you do "info threads"
right after a fork, and before the child reports any other event to
GDB core, you'll see:
(gdb) info threads
Id Target Id Frame
* 1.1 Thread 0x7ffff7fc1740 (LWP 31875) "fork-plus-threa" (running)
2.1 process 31879 "fork-plus-threa" Selected thread is running.
(gdb)
The "Selected thread is running." bit is a bogus error. That was GDB
trying to fetch the current frame of thread 2.1, because the external
runnning state is "stopped", and then throwing an error because the
thread is actually running.
This actually affects all-stop + schedule-multiple as well.
The problem here is that on a fork event, GDB doesn't update the
external parent/child running states.
New comprehensive test included. The "kill inferior 1" / "kill
inferior 2" bits also trip on PR gdb/19494 (hang killing unfollowed
fork children), which was fixed by the previous patch.

linux_nat_kill relies on get_last_target_status to determine whether
the current inferior is stopped at a unfollowed fork/vfork event.
This is bad because many things can happen ever since we caught the
fork/vfork event... This commit rewrites that code to instead walk
the thread list looking for unfollowed fork events, similarly to what
was done for remote.c.
New test included. The main idea of the test is make sure that when
the program stops for a fork catchpoint, and the user kills the
parent, gdb also kills the unfollowed fork child. Since the child
hasn't been added as an inferior at that point, we need some other
portable way to detect that the child is gone. The test uses a pipe
for that. The program forks twice, so you have grandparent, child and
grandchild. The grandchild inherits the write side of the pipe. The
grandparent hangs reading from the pipe, since nothing ever writes to
it. If, when GDB kills the child, it also kills the grandchild, then
the grandparent's pipe read returns 0/EOF and the test passes.
Otherwise, if GDB doesn't kill the grandchild, then the pipe read
never returns and the test times out, like:
FAIL: gdb.base/catch-fork-kill.exp: fork-kind=fork: exit-kind=kill: fork: kill parent (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/catch-fork-kill.exp: fork-kind=vfork: exit-kind=kill: vfork: kill parent (timeout)
No regressions on x86_64 Fedora 20. New test passes with gdbserver as
well.

The test constructs fake DWARF info for a C structure involving bitfields.
DWARF bitfields are always counted from LSB, while the order in which
bitfields are allocated in a C struct depends on the target endianness -
thus the generated DWARF marks different bitfields as unavailable when
target is big endian. Accordingly, we need different expected outputs.

A relatively recent patch support for explicit locations, and part
of that patch cleaned up the way we parse breakpoint locations.
Unfortunatly, a small regression crept in for "*<EXPR>" breakpoint
locations. In particular, on PIE programs, one can see the issue by
doing the following, with any program:
(gdb) b *main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x51a: file hello.c, line 3.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /[...]/hello
Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x51a
Just for the record, this regression was introduced by:
commit a06efdd6ef
Date: Tue Aug 11 17:09:35 2015 -0700
Subject: Explicit locations: introduce address locations
What happens is that the patch makes the implicit assumption that
the address computed the first time is static, as if it was designed
to only support litteral expressions (Eg. "*0x1234"). This allows
the shortcut of not re-computing the breakpoint location's address
when re-setting breakpoints.
However, this does not work in general, as demonstrated in the example
above.
This patch plugs that hole simply by saving the original expression
used to compute the address as part of the address location, so as
to then re-evaluate that expression during breakpoint re-set.

As defined at AArch64 ELF Specification (4.6.7 Call and Jump
relocations), symbol with type of non STT_FUNC but in different input
section with relocation place should insert long branch veneer also.
Meanwhile the current long branch veneer infrastructure havn't considered
the situation where the branch destination is "sym_value + rela->addend".
This was OK because we only insert veneer for long call destination is
STT_FUNC symbol for which the addend is always zero. But as we relax the
support to other situations by this patch, we need to handle addend be
non-zero value. For example, for static function, relocation against
"local symbol" are turned into relocation against "section symbol + offset"
where there is a valid addend.

The lambda function used to sort the enumerator list does not work
properly. This list consists of tuples, (enum label, enum value). The
key function returns x.enumval. enumval not being defined for a tuple,
we see this exception in the test log:
Python Exception <class 'AttributeError'> 'tuple' object has no attribute 'enumval'
The function should return the second item of the tuple, which is the
enumval.
The pretty-printer still worked mostly correctly, except that the
enumeration values were not sorted. The test still passed because the
enumeration values are already sorted where they are defined. The test
also passed despite the exception being printed, because the right output
was printed after the exception:
print (enum flag_enum) (FLAG_1)
Python Exception <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> 'tuple' objecthas no attribute 'enumval':M

New in v2:
- Improved test case, I stole Pedro's example directly. It verifies
that the sorting of enumerators by value works, by checking that
printing FOO_MASK appears as FOO_1 | FOO_2 | FOO_3.
I noticed that I could change the regexps to almost anything and the
tests would still pass. I think it was because of the | in there. I
made them more robust by using string_to_regexp. I used curly braces
{ } instead of quoting marks " " for strings, so that I could use
square brackets [ ] in them without having to escape them all. I also
removed the "message" part of the tests, since they are redundant with
the command, and it's just more maintenance to have to update them.
