Don Breazeal 94585166df Extended-remote follow-exec
This patch implements support for exec events on extended-remote Linux
targets.  Follow-exec-mode and rerun behave as expected.  Catchpoints and
test updates are implemented in subsequent patches.

This patch was derived from a patch posted last October:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00877.html.
It was originally based on some work done by Luis Machado in 2013.

IMPLEMENTATION
----------------
Exec events are enabled via ptrace options.

When an exec event is detected by gdbserver, the existing process
data, along with all its associated lwp and thread data, is deleted
and replaced by data for a new single-threaded process.  The new
process data is initialized with the appropriate parts of the state
of the execing process.  This approach takes care of several potential
pitfalls, including:

 * deleting the data for an execing non-leader thread before any
   wait/sigsuspend occurs
 * correctly initializing the architecture of the execed process

We then report the exec event using a new RSP stop reason, "exec".

When GDB receives an "exec" event, it saves the status in the event
structure's target_waitstatus field, like what is done for remote fork
events.  Because the original and execed programs may have different
architectures, we skip parsing the section of the stop reply packet
that contains register data.  The register data will be retrieved
later after the inferior's architecture has been set up by
infrun.c:follow_exec.

At that point the exec event is handled by the existing event handling
in GDB.  However, a few changes were necessary so that
infrun.c:follow_exec could accommodate the remote target.

 * Where follow-exec-mode "new" is handled, we now call
   add_inferior_with_spaces instead of add_inferior with separate calls
   to set up the program and address spaces.  The motivation for this
   is that add_inferior_with_spaces also sets up the initial architecture
   for the inferior, which is needed later by target_find_description
   when it calls target_gdbarch.

 * We call a new target function, target_follow_exec.  This function
   allows us to store the execd_pathname in the inferior, instead of
   using the static string remote_exec_file from remote.c.  The static
   string didn't work for follow-exec-mode "new", since once you switched
   to the execed program, the original remote exec-file was lost.  The
   execd_pathname is now stored in the inferior's program space as a
   REGISTRY field.  All of the requisite mechanisms for this are
   defined in remote.c.

		   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.
