Sergio Durigan Junior 425699f52d Fix thinko when deciding whether to disable TCP's Nagle algorithm
This patch fixes a thinko that happened when I was implementing the
IPv6 support on GDB/gdbserver.  On certain situations, it is necessary
to disable TCP's Nagle algorithm (NODELAY).  For obvious reasons, this
only applies when we are dealing with a TCP connection.

While implementing the IPv6 patch, I noticed that the net_open
function (on gdb/ser-tcp.c) kept a flag indicating whether the
connection type was UDP or TCP.  I eliminated that flag, and started
using the 'struct addrinfo *' related to the successful connection
directly.  However, I made a mistake:

  if (success_ainfo->ai_socktype == IPPROTO_TCP)
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^
    {
      /* Disable Nagle algorithm.  Needed in some cases.  */
      int tmp = 1;

      setsockopt (scb->fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY,
		  (char *) &tmp, sizeof (tmp));
    }

The 'ai_socktype' field specifies the socket type (SOCK_STREAM or
SOCK_DGRAM), and not the protocol.  This test was always failing, and
the Nagle algorithm was never being disabled.

The obvious fix is to use the 'ai_protocol' field.  This is what this
patch does.

Huge "thank you" to Joel Brobecker who reported the regression (he was
experiencing an unusual delay while debugging a bare-metal program
running under QEMU) and helped me set up a proper reproducer for the
bug.

		   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.
