Pedro Alves 8ae377e842 Always run the PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD tests even if PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK is not supported.
If enabling PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK fails, we never test for
PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD support.  Before PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD is checked,
we have:

  /* First, set the PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK option.  If this fails, we
     know for sure that it is not supported.  */
  ret = ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, child_pid, (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3) 0,
		(PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4) PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK);

  if (ret != 0)
    {
      ret = ptrace (PTRACE_KILL, child_pid, (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG3) 0,
		    (PTRACE_TYPE_ARG4) 0);
      if (ret != 0)
	{
	  warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: failed to kill child"));
	  return;
	}

      ret = my_waitpid (child_pid, &status, 0);
      if (ret != child_pid)
	warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: failed "
		   "to wait for killed child"));
      else if (!WIFSIGNALED (status))
	warning (_("linux_check_ptrace_features: unexpected "
		   "wait status 0x%x from killed child"), status);

      return; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    }

Note that early return.  If PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK isn't supported, we're
not checking PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD.  This didn't use to be a problem
before the unification of this whole detection business in
linux-ptrace.c.  Before, the sysgood detection was completely
separate:

static void
linux_test_for_tracesysgood (int original_pid)
{
  int ret;
  sigset_t prev_mask;

  /* We don't want those ptrace calls to be interrupted.  */
  block_child_signals (&prev_mask);

  linux_supports_tracesysgood_flag = 0;

  ret = ptrace (PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, original_pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD);
  if (ret != 0)
    goto out;

  linux_supports_tracesysgood_flag = 1;
out:
  restore_child_signals_mask (&prev_mask);
}

So we need to get back the decoupling somehow.  I think it's cleaner
to split the seperate feature detections to separate functions.  This
patch does that.  The new functions are named for their counterparts
that existed before this code was moved to linux-ptrace.c.

Note I've used forward declarations for the new functions to make the
patch clearer, as otherwise the patch would look like I'd be adding a
bunch of new code.  A reorder can be done in a follow up patch.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.

	* common/linux-ptrace.c (linux_check_ptrace_features): Factor out
	the PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD and PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK to separate
	functions.  Always test for PTRACE_O_TRACESYSGOOD even if
	PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK is not supported.
	(linux_test_for_tracesysgood): New function.
	(linux_test_for_tracefork): New function, factored out from
	linux_check_ptrace_features, and also don't kill child_pid here.

README

		   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.
