This is the "natural" extension necessary for the "set cwd" command
(and the whole "set the inferior's cwd" logic) to work on gdbserver.
The idea here is to have a new remote packet, QSetWorkingDir (name
adopted from LLDB's extension to the RSP, as can be seen at
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/master/docs/lldb-gdb-remote.txt>),
which sends an hex-encoded string representing the working directory
that the remote inferior will use. There is a slight difference from
the packet proposed by LLDB: GDB's version will accept empty
arguments, meaning that the user wants to clear the previously set
working directory for the inferior (i.e., "set cwd" without arguments
on GDB).
For UNIX-like targets this feature is already implemented on
nat/fork-inferior.c, and all gdbserver has to do is to basically
implement "set_inferior_cwd" and call it whenever such packet arrives.
For other targets, like Windows, it is possible to use the existing
"get_inferior_cwd" function and do the necessary steps to make sure
that the inferior will use the specified working directory.
Aside from that, the patch consists basically of updates to the
testcase (making it available on remote targets) and the
documentation.
No regressions found.
