Don Breazeal 89245bc056 Identify remote fork event support
This patch implements a mechanism for GDB to determine whether fork
events are supported in gdbserver.  This is a preparatory patch for
remote fork and exec event support.

Two new RSP packets are defined to represent fork and vfork event
support.  These packets are used just like PACKET_multiprocess_feature
to denote whether the corresponding event is supported.  GDB sends
fork-events+ and vfork-events+ to gdbserver to inquire about fork
event support.  If the response enables these packets, then GDB
knows that gdbserver supports the corresponding events and will
enable them.

Target functions used to query for support are included along with
each new packet.

In order for gdbserver to know whether the events are supported at the
point where the qSupported packet arrives, the code in nat/linux-ptrace.c
had to be reorganized.  Previously it would test for fork/exec event
support, then enable the events using the pid of the inferior.  When the
qSupported packet arrives there may not be an inferior.  So the mechanism
was split into two parts: a function that checks whether the events are
supported, called when gdbserver starts up, and another that enables the
events when the inferior stops for the first time.

Another gdbserver change was to add some global variables similar to
multi_process, one per new packet.  These are used to control whether
the corresponding fork events are enabled.  If GDB does not inquire
about the event support in the qSupported packet, then gdbserver will
not set these "report the event" flags.  If the flags are not set, the
events are ignored like they were in the past.  Thus, gdbserver will
never send fork event notification to an older GDB that doesn't
recognize fork events.

Tested on Ubuntu x64, native/remote/extended-remote, and as part of
subsequent patches in the series.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
