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.

Casting to gdb_byte would fix it, however, writing an
unsigned int array like this
static unsigned int hppa64_tramp[] = {
0xeac0f000, /* bve,l (r22),%r2 */
0x0fdf12d1, /* std r31,-8(,sp) */
0x0fd110c2, /* ldd -8(,sp),rp */
0xe840d002, /* bve,n (rp) */
0x08000240 /* nop */
...
directly to target memory assumes the host endianness is the same as
the target's. hppa is big endian, so I believe this patch should be
correct -- it defines the array as a gdb_byte array. It uses a macro
to make the insn bytes a little more readable. I thought of using
write_memory_unsigned_integer once for each element of the unsigned
int array, but this way keeps issuing a single target memory write /
roundtrip for the whole trampoline.

This is a regression from 7.5, introduced/exposed by:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-07/msg00259.html
There are a series of issues with this code.
It does:
unsigned int val = parse_and_eval_long (arg);
^^^^^^^^^^^^
(unsigned, usually 32-bit) while parse_and_eval_long returns a LONGEST
(usually 64-bit), so we lose precision without noticing:
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
(gdb) show remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
The maximum number of target hardware watchpoints is 0.
While at it, print the invalid number with plongest, so the user sees
what GDB thought the number was:
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 0x100000000
integer 4294967296 out of range
So with "set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit -1", val ends converted
to 0xffffffff, which then fails the
else if (val >= INT_MAX)
error (_("integer %u out of range"), val);
test.
Looking at that INT_MAX check, we forbid INT_MAX itself, but we
shouldn't, as that does fit in 'int' -- we want to forbid values
_greater_ than INT_MAX (and less than INT_MIN, while at it):
(gdb) set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 2147483647
integer 2147483647 out of range
The same problem is in the new var_zuinteger_unlimited code, which
also uses "int" for variable.
Also, when printing a 'signed int', we should use %d, not %u.
This adds a couple regression tests. Not completely thorough in checking
all kinds of invalid input; I'm saving more exaustive testing around
zXXinteger commands for something like new test-assisting commands
like "maint test cmd-zinteger -1", where testing would focus on the
command types, and thus be independent of particular user commands of
particular GDB features.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
