This patch implements basic support for follow-fork and detach-on-fork on
extended-remote Linux targets. Only 'fork' is supported in this patch;
'vfork' support is added n a subsequent patch. This patch depends on
the previous patches in the patch series.
Sufficient extended-remote functionality has been implemented here to pass
gdb.base/multi-forks.exp, as well as gdb.base/foll-fork.exp with the
catchpoint tests commented out. Some other fork tests fail with this
patch because it doesn't provide the architecture support needed for
watchpoint inheritance or fork catchpoints.
The implementation follows the same general structure as for the native
implementation as much as possible.
This implementation includes:
* enabling fork events in linux-low.c in initialize_low and
linux_enable_extended_features
* handling fork events in gdbserver/linux-low.c:handle_extended_wait
- when a fork event occurs in gdbserver, we must do the full creation
of the new process, thread, lwp, and breakpoint lists. This is
required whether or not the new child is destined to be
detached-on-fork, because GDB will make target calls that require all
the structures. In particular we need the breakpoint lists in order
to remove the breakpoints from a detaching child. If we are not
detaching the child we will need all these structures anyway.
- as part of this event handling we store the target_waitstatus in a new
member of the parent lwp_info structure, 'waitstatus'. This
is used to store extended event information for reporting to GDB.
- handle_extended_wait is given a return value, denoting whether the
handled event should be reported to GDB. Previously it had only
handled clone events, which were never reported.
* using a new predicate in gdbserver to control handling of the fork event
(and eventually all extended events) in linux_wait_1. The predicate,
extended_event_reported, checks a target_waitstatus.kind for an
extended ptrace event.
* implementing a new RSP 'T' Stop Reply Packet stop reason: "fork", in
gdbserver/remote-utils.c and remote.c.
* implementing new target and RSP support for target_follow_fork with
target extended-remote. (The RSP components were actually defined in
patch 1, but they see their first use here).
- remote target routine remote_follow_fork, which just sends the 'D;pid'
detach packet to detach the new fork child cleanly. We can't just
call target_detach because the data structures for the forked child
have not been allocated on the host side.
Tested on x64 Ubuntu Lucid, native, remote, extended-remote.
