Pedro Alves c2f4122d5c Limit breakpoint re-set to the current program space
Currently, we always re-set all locations of all breakpoints.  This
commit makes us re-set only locations of the current program space.

If we loaded symbols to a program space (e.g., "file" command or some
shared library was loaded), GDB must run through all breakpoints and
determine if any new locations need to be added to the breakpoint.
However, there's no reason to recreate locations for _other_ program
spaces, as those haven't changed.

Similarly, when we create a new inferior, through e.g., a fork, GDB
must run through all breakpoints and determine if any new locations
need to be added to the breakpoint.  There's no reason to destroy the
locations of the parent inferior and other inferiors.  We know those
won't change.

In addition to being inneficient, resetting breakpoints of inferiors
that are currently running is problematic, because:

 - some targets can't read memory while the inferior is running.

 - the inferior might exit while we're re-setting its breakpoints,
   which may confuse prologue skipping.

I went through all the places where we call breakpoint_re_set, and it
seems to me that all can be changed to only re-set locations of the
current program space.

The patch that reversed threads order in "info threads" etc. happened
to make gdb.threads/fork-plus-thread.exp expose this problem when
testing on x86/-m32.  The problem was latent and masked out by chance
by the code-cache:

 https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-01/msg00213.html

Tested on x86-64 F20, native (-m64/-m32) and extended-remote
gdbserver.

Fixes the regression discussed in the url above with --target_board=unix/-m32:

 -FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
 +PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: inferior 1 exited
 -FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left (timeout)
 -FAIL: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left (the program exited)
 +PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: no threads left
 +PASS: gdb.threads/fork-plus-threads.exp: detach-on-fork=off: only inferior 1 left

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.
