Pedro Alves 26cb8b7c1a [native x86 GNU/Linux] Access debug register mirror from the corresponding process.
While reviewing the native AArch64 patch, I noticed a problem:

A natural fix would be to make xxx_get_debug_reg_state take an
inferior argument, but that doesn't work because of the case where we
detach breakpoints/watchpoints from the child fork, at a time there's
no inferior for the child fork at all.  We do a nasty hack in
i386_inferior_data_get, but that relies on all callers pointing the
current inferior to the correct inferior, which isn't actually being
done by all callers, and I don't think we want to enforce that -- deep
in the bowls of linux-nat.c, there are many cases we resume lwps
behind the scenes, and it's be better to not have that code rely on
global state (as it doesn't today).

The fix is to decouple the watchpoints code from inferiors, making it
track target processes instead.  This way, we can freely keep track of
the watchpoint mirrors for these processes behind the core's back.
Checkpoints also play dirty tricks with swapping the process behind
the inferior, so they get special treatment too in the patch (which
just amounts to calling a new hook).  Instead of the old hack in
i386_inferior_data_get, where we returned a copy of the current
inferior's debug registers mirror, as soon as we detect a fork in the
target, we copy the debug register mirror from the parent to the child
process.

I don't have an old kernel handy to test, but I stepped through gdb doing
the watchpoint removal in the fork child in the watchpoint-fork test
seeing that the debug registers end up cleared in the child.

I didn't find the need for linux_nat_iterate_watchpoint_lwps.  If
we use plain iterate_over_lwps instead, what happens is that
when removing watchpoints, that iterate_over_lwps doesn't actually
iterate over anything, since the fork child is not added to the
lwp list until later, at detach time, in linux_child_follow_fork.
And if we don't iterate over that lwp, we don't mark its debug
registers as needing update.  But linux_child_follow_fork takes
care of doing that explicitly:

	  child_lp = add_lwp (inferior_ptid);
	  child_lp->stopped = 1;
	  child_lp->last_resume_kind = resume_stop;
	  make_cleanup (delete_lwp_cleanup, child_lp);

	  /* CHILD_LP has new PID, therefore linux_nat_new_thread is not called for it.
	     See i386_inferior_data_get for the Linux kernel specifics.
	     Ensure linux_nat_prepare_to_resume will reset the hardware debug
	     registers.  It is done by the linux_nat_new_thread call, which is
	     being skipped in add_lwp above for the first lwp of a pid.  */
	  gdb_assert (num_lwps (GET_PID (child_lp->ptid)) == 1);
	  if (linux_nat_new_thread != NULL)
	    linux_nat_new_thread (child_lp);

	  if (linux_nat_prepare_to_resume != NULL)
	    linux_nat_prepare_to_resume (child_lp);
	  ptrace (PTRACE_DETACH, child_pid, 0, 0);

so unless I'm missing something (quite possible) it ends up all
the same.  But, the !detach-on-fork, and the "follow-fork child" paths
should also call linux_nat_new_thread, and they don't presently.  It
seems to me in those cases we're not clearing debug regs correctly
when that's needed.  Instead of copying that bit that works around
add_lwp bypassing the linux_nat_new_thread call, I thought it'd
be better to add an add_initial_lwp call to be used in the case we
really need to bypass linux_nat_new_thread, and make
add_lwp always call linux_nat_new_thread.

i386_cleanup_dregs is rewritten to forget about the current process
debug mirrors, which takes cares of other i386 ports.  Only a couple
of extra tweaks here and there were needed, as some targets wheren't
actually calling i386_cleanup_dregs.

Tested on Fedora 17 x86_64 -m64/-m32.

GDBserver already fetches the i386_debug_reg_state from the right
process, and, it doesn't handle forks at all, so no fix is needed over
there.

		   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.
