Pedro Alves 0d5b594f86 PR remote/19496, timeout in forking-threads-plus-bkpt
This patch addresses a failure in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:

FAIL: gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp: cond_bp_target=1:
detach_on_fork=on: inferior 1 exited (timeout)

Cause:

A fork event was reported to GDB before GDB knew about the parent
thread, followed immediately by a breakpoint event in a different
thread.  The parent thread was subsequently added via
remote_notice_new_inferior in process_stop_reply, but when the thread
was added the thread_info.state was set to THREAD_STOPPED.  The fork
event was then handled correctly, but when the fork parent was resumed
via a call to keep_going, the state was unchanged.

The breakpoint event was then handled, which caused all the
non-breakpoint threads to be stopped.  When the breakpoint thread was
resumed, all the non-breakpoint threads were resumed via
infrun.c:restart_threads.  Our old fork parent wasn't restarted,
because it still had thread_info.state set to THREAD_STOPPED.
Ultimately the program under debug hung waiting for a pthread_join
while the old fork parent was stopped forever by GDB.

Fix:

Since this is non-stop, then the bug is that the thread should have
been added in THREAD_RUNNING state.  Consider that infrun may be
pulling target events out of the target_ops backend into its own event
queue, but, not process them immediately.  E.g., infrun may be
stopping all threads temporarily for a step-over-breakpoint operation
for thread A (stop_all_threads).  The waitstatus of all threads is
thus left pending in the thread structure (save_status), including the
fork event of thread B.  Right at this point, if the user does "info
threads", that should show thread B (the fork parent) running, not
stopped, even if internally, gdb is holding it paused for a little
bit.

Thus if in non-stop mode, always add new threads in the external
user-visible THREAD_RUNNING state.  Change remote_notice_new_inferior
to accept the internal executing state of the thread instead, with
EXECUTING set to 1 when we discover a thread that is running on the
target (such as through remote_update_thread_list), and 0 when the
thread is really paused (such as when we see a stop reply).

Tested on x86_64 Linux and Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-03-17  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
	    Don Breazeal  <donb@codesourcery.com>

	PR remote/19496
	* infcmd.c (notice_new_inferior): Use the 'leave_running' argument
	instead of checking the 'non_stop' global.
	* remote.c (remote_add_thread): New parameter 'executing'.  Use it
	to set the new thread's executing state.
	(remote_notice_new_inferior): Rename parameter 'running' to
	'executing'.  Always set the thread state to THREAD_RUNNING in
	non-stop mode, and to THREAD_STOPPED in all-stop mode.  Pass
	EXECUTING to remote_add_thread and notice_new_inferior.
	(remote_update_thread_list): Update to pass executing state, not
	running state.

		   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.
