Gary Benson 5045b3d789 linux: Add maintenance commands to test libthread_db
This commit adds two new commands which may be used to test thread
debugging libraries used by GDB:

  * "maint check libthread-db" tests the thread debugging library GDB
     is using for the current inferior.

  * "maint set/show check-libthread-db" selects whether libthread_db
     tests should be run automatically as libthread_db is auto-loaded.
     The default is to not run tests automatically.

The test itself is a basic integrity check exercising all libthread_db
functions used by GDB on GNU/Linux systems.  By extension this also
exercises the proc_service functions provided by GDB that libthread_db
uses.

This functionality is useful for NPTL developers and libthread_db
developers.  It could also prove useful investigating bugs reported
against GDB where the thread debugging library or GDB's proc_service
layer is suspect.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* linux-thread-db.c (valprint.h): New include.
	(struct check_thread_db_info): New structure.
	(check_thread_db_on_load, tdb_testinfo): New static globals.
	(check_thread_db, check_thread_db_callback): New functions.
	(try_thread_db_load_1): Run integrity checks if requested.
	(maintenance_check_libthread_db): New function.
	(_initialize_thread_db): Register "maint check libthread-db"
	and "maint set/show check-libthread-db".
	* NEWS: Mention the above new commands.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo (Maintenance Commands): Document "maint check
	libthread-db" and "maint set/show check-libthread-db".

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.threads/check-libthread-db.exp: New file.
	* gdb.threads/check-libthread-db.c: Likewise.
