Simon Marchi 122373f7f2 gdb: try to load libthread_db only after reading all shared libraries when attaching / handling a fork child
When trying to attach to a pthread process on a Linux system with glibc 2.33,
we get:

    $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory -p 1472010
    Attaching to process 1472010
    [New LWP 1472013]
    [New LWP 1472014]
    [New LWP 1472015]
    Error while reading shared library symbols for /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0:
    Cannot find user-level thread for LWP 1472015: generic error
    0x00007ffff6d3637f in poll () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6
    (gdb)

When attaching to a process (or handling a fork child, an operation very
similar to attaching), GDB reads the shared library list from the
process.  For each shared library (if "set auto-solib-add" is on), it
reads its symbols and calls the "new_objfile" observable.

The libthread-db code monitors this observable, and if it sees an
objfile named somewhat like "libpthread.so" go by, it tries to load
libthread_db.so in the GDB process itself.  libthread_db knows how to
navigate libpthread's data structures to get information about the
existing threads.

To locate these data structures, libthread_db calls ps_pglobal_lookup
(implemented in proc-service.c), passing in a symbol name and expecting
an address in return.

Before glibc 2.33, libthread_db always asked for symbols found in
libpthread.  There was no ordering problem: since we were always trying
to load libthread_db in reaction to processing libpthread (and reading
in its symbols) and libthread_db only asked symbols from libpthread, the
requested symbols could always be found.  Starting with glibc 2.33,
libthread_db now asks for a symbol name that can be found in
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (_rtld_global).  And the ordering in which GDB
reads the shared libraries from the inferior when attaching is
unfortunate, in that libpthread is processed before ld-linux.  So when
loading libthread_db in reaction to processing libpthread, and
libthread_db requests the symbol that is from ld-linux, GDB is not yet
able to supply it.

That problematic symbol lookup happens in the thread_from_lwp function,
when we call td_ta_map_lwp2thr_p, and an exception is thrown at this
point:

Catching the exception at this point means that the thread_db_info
object for this inferior will be left in place, despite the failure to
load libthread_db.  This means that there won't be further attempts at
loading libthread_db, because thread_db_load will think that
libthread_db is already loaded for this inferior and will always exit
early.  To fix this, add a try/catch around calling try_thread_db_load_1
in try_thread_db_load, such that if some exception is thrown while
trying to load libthread_db, we reset / delete the thread_db_info for
that inferior.  That alone makes attach work fine again, because
check_for_thread_db is called again in the thread_db_inferior_created
observer (that happens after we learned about all shared libraries and
their symbols), and libthread_db is successfully loaded then.

When attaching, I think that the inferior_created observer is a good
place to try to load libthread_db: it is called once everything has
stabilized, when we learned about all shared libraries.

The only problem then is that when we first try (and fail) to load
libthread_db, in reaction to learning about libpthread, we show this
warning:

    warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.

This is misleading, because we do succeed in loading it later.  So when
attaching, I think we shouldn't try to load libthread_db in reaction to
the new_objfile events, we should wait until we have learned about all
shared libraries (using the inferior_created observable).  To do so, add
an `in_initial_library_scan` flag to struct inferior.  This flag is used
to postpone loading libthread_db if we are attaching or handling a fork
child.

When debugging remotely with GDBserver, the same problem happens, except
that the qSymbol mechanism (allowing the remote side to ask GDB for
symbols values) is involved.  The fix there is the same idea, we make
GDB wait until all shared libraries and their symbols are known before
sending out a qSymbol packet.  This way, we never present the remote
side a state where libpthread.so's symbols are known but ld-linux's
symbols aren't.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* inferior.h (class inferior) <in_initial_library_scan>: New.
	* infcmd.c (post_create_inferior): Set in_initial_library_scan.
	* infrun.c (follow_fork_inferior): Likewise.
	* linux-thread-db.c (try_thread_db_load): Catch exception thrown
	by try_thread_db_load_1
	(thread_db_load): Return early if in_initial_library_scan is
	set.
	* remote.c (remote_new_objfile): Return early if
	in_initial_library_scan is set.

When doing an attach, the kernel stops the debuggee with a SIGSTOP.
On newer GNU/Linux kernels (>= 2.5.61) the handling of SIGSTOP for
a ptraced process has changed. Earlier versions of the kernel
would ignore these SIGSTOPs, while now SIGSTOP is treated like any
other signal, i.e. it is not muffled.
If the gdb user does a 'continue' after the 'attach', gdb passes
the global variable stop_signal (which stores the signal from the
attach, SIGSTOP) to the ptrace(PTRACE_CONT,...) call. This is
problematic, because the kernel doesn't ignore such SIGSTOP
now. I.e. it is reported back to gdb, which in turn presents it
back to the user.
To avoid the problem, we use STOP_QUIETLY_NO_SIGSTOP, which allows
gdb to clear the value of stop_signal after the attach, so that it
is not passed back down to the kernel. */

inferior, as does each attachment to an existing process.
Inferiors have unique internal identifiers that are different from
target process ids. Each inferior may in turn have multiple
threads running in it.
Inferiors are intrusively refcounted objects. Unlike thread
objects, being the user-selected inferior is considered a strong
reference and is thus accounted for in the inferior object's
refcount (see set_current_inferior). When GDB needs to remember
the selected inferior to later restore it, GDB temporarily bumps
the inferior object's refcount, to prevent something deleting the
inferior object before reverting back (e.g., due to a
"remove-inferiors" command (see
scoped_restore_current_inferior). All other inferior
references are considered weak references. Inferiors are always
listed exactly once in the inferior list, so placing an inferior in
