Pedro Alves 3a3fd0fd2c Fix removing inferiors from within "thread apply" commands
This patch fixes an internal error exposed by a test that does
something like:

  define kill-and-remove
    kill inferiors 2
    remove-inferiors 2
  end

  # Start one inferior.
  start

  # Start another inferior.
  add-inferior 2
  inferior 2
  start

  # Kill and remove inferior 1 while inferior 2 is selected.
  thread apply 1.1 kill-and-remove

The internal error looks like this:

 Thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2700 (LWP 20677)):
 [Switching to inferior 1 [process 20677] (gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.threads/threadapply/threadapply)]
 [Switching to thread 1.1 (Thread 0x7ffff7fc2700 (LWP 20677))]
 #0  main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/threadapply.c:38
 38          for (i = 0; i < NUM; i++)
 src/gdb/inferior.c:66: internal-error: void set_current_inferior(inferior*): Assertion `inf != NULL' failed.
 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.
 Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/threadapply.exp: kill_and_remove_inferior: try kill-and-remove: thread apply 1.1 kill-and-remove (GDB internal error)

There are several problems around this area of the code.  One is that
in do_restore_current_thread_cleanup, we do a look up of inferior by
ptid, which can find the wrong inferior if the previously selected
inferior exited and some other inferior was started with a reused pid
(rare, but still...).

The other problem is that the "remove-inferiors" command rejects
attempts to remove the current inferior, but when we get to
"remove-inferiors" in a "thread apply THR remove-inferiors 2" command,
the current inferior is the inferior of thread THR, not the previously
selected inferior, so if the previously selected inferior was inferior
2, that command still manages to wipe it, and then gdb restores the
old selected inferior, which is now a dangling pointer...

So the fix here is:

- Make make_cleanup_restore_current_thread store a pointer to the
  previously selected inferior directly, and use it directly instead
  of doing ptid look ups.

- Add a refcount to inferiors, very similar to thread_info's refcount,
  that is incremented/decremented by
  make_cleanup_restore_current_thread, and checked before deleting an
  inferior.  To avoid duplication, a new refcounted_object type is
  added, that both thread_info and inferior inherit from.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-04-19  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* common/refcounted-object.h: New file.
	* gdbthread.h: Include "common/refcounted-object.h".
	(thread_info): Inherit from refcounted_object and add comments.
	(thread_info::incref, thread_info::decref)
	(thread_info::m_refcount): Delete.
	(thread_info::deletable): Use the refcounted_object::refcount()
	method.
	* inferior.c (current_inferior_): Add comment.
	(set_current_inferior): Increment/decrement refcounts.
	(prune_inferiors, remove_inferior_command): Skip inferiors marked
	not-deletable instead of comparing with the current inferior.
	(initialize_inferiors): Increment the initial inferior's refcount.
	* inferior.h (struct inferior): Forward declare.
	Include "common/refcounted-object.h".
	(current_inferior, set_current_inferior): Move declaration to
	before struct inferior's definition, and fix comment.
	(inferior): Inherit from refcounted_object.  Add comments.
	* thread.c (switch_to_thread_no_regs): Reference the thread's
	inferior pointer directly instead of doing a ptid lookup.
	(switch_to_no_thread): New function.
	(switch_to_thread(thread_info *)): New function, factored out
	from ...
	(switch_to_thread(ptid_t)): ... this.
	(restore_current_thread): Delete.
	(current_thread_cleanup): Remove 'inf_id' and 'was_removable'
	fields, and add 'inf' field.
	(do_restore_current_thread_cleanup): Check whether old->inf is
	alive instead of looking up an inferior by ptid.  Use
	switch_to_thread and switch_to_no_thread.
	(restore_current_thread_cleanup_dtor): Use old->inf directly
	instead of lookup up an inferior by id.  Decref the inferior.
	Don't restore 'removable'.
	(make_cleanup_restore_current_thread): Same the inferior pointer
	in old, instead of the inferior number.  Incref the inferior.
	Don't save/clear 'removable'.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-04-19  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* gdb.threads/threadapply.exp (kill_and_remove_inferior): New

	* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_define_cmd): New procedure.

		   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.
