Binutils with MCST patches

Pedro Alves fa96cb382c Teach GDBserver's Linux backend about no unwaited-for children (TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED).
GDBserver currently hangs forever in waitpid if the leader thread
exits before other threads, or if all resumed threads exit - e.g.,
next over a thread exit with sched-locking on.  This is exposed by
leader-exit.exp.  leader-exit.exp is part of a series of tests for a
set of related problems.  See
<http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-10/msg00704.html>:

 "
 To recap, on the Linux kernel, ptrace/waitpid don't allow reaping the
 leader thread until all other threads in the group are reaped.  When
 the leader exits, it goes zombie, but waitpid will not return an exit
 status until the other threads are gone.  This is presently exercised
 by the gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp test.  The fix for that test, in
 linux-nat.c:wait_lwp, handles the case where we see the leader gone
 when we're stopping all threads to report an event to some other
 thread to the core.

 (...)

 The latter bit about not blocking if there no resumed threads in the
 process also applies to some other thread exiting, not just the main
 thread.  E.g., this test starts a thread, and runs to a breakpoint in
 that thread:

 ...
 (gdb) c
 Continuing.
 [New Thread 0x7ffff75a4700 (LWP 23397)]
 [Switching to Thread 0x7ffff75a4700 (LWP 23397)]

 The thread will exit as soon as we resume it.  But if we only resume
 that thread, leaving the rest of the threads stopped:

This patch fixes the issues by implementing TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED
on GDBserver, similarly to what the patch above did for native
Linux GDB.

gdb.threads/leader-exit.exp now passes.

gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp now at least errors out instead
of hanging:

 continue
 Continuing.
 warning: Remote failure reply: E.No unwaited-for children left.

 [Thread 15454] #1 stopped.

 93          lll_wait_tid (pd->tid);
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp: continue stops when the main thread exits

The gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-*.exp tests are skipped because GDBserver
unfortunately doesn't support fork/exec yet, but I'm confident this
fixes the related issues.

I'm leaving modeling TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED in the RSP for a
separate pass.

(BTW, in case of error in response to a vCont, it would be better for
GDB to query the target for the current thread, or re-select one,
instead of assuming current inferior_ptid is still the selected
thread.)

This implementation is a little different from GDB's, because I'm
avoiding bringing in more of this broken use of waitpid(PID) into
GDBserver.  Specifically, this avoids waitpid(PID) when stopping all
threads.  There's really no need for wait_for_sigstop to wait for each
LWP in turn.  Instead, with some refactoring, we make it reuse
linux_wait_for_event.

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.
