Don Breazeal 17d8546e60 Fix native follow-exec-mode "new"
This patch fixes a segmentation fault in native GDB when
handling an exec event with follow-exec-mode set to "new".

The stack trace from the segfault was this:

In follow_exec we were creating a new inferior for the execd program,
as required by the exec mode, but we were doing it before calling
exit_inferior_num_silent on the original inferior.  So on entry to
exit_inferior_num_silent we had two inferiors with the same ptid.

In the calls made by exit_inferior_num_silent, the current inferior
is temporarily saved and replaced in order to make use of functions
that only operate on the current inferior (for example, in
do_all_continuations, called while deleting the threads of the original
inferior).  When we restored the original inferior, we just took the
first inferior that matched the ptid of the original and got the new
(wrong) one.  It hadn't been initialized yet and had no gdbarch
pointer, and GDB segfaulted.

The fix for that is to call exit_inferior_num_silent before adding the new
inferior, so that we never have two inferiors with the same ptid.  Then
exit_inferior_num_silent uses the original inferior as the current inferior
throughout, and can find a valid gdbarch pointer.

Once we have finished with the exit of the old inferior and added the
new one, we need to create a new thread for the new inferior.  In the
function that called follow_exec, handle_inferior_event_1,
ecs->event_thread now points to the thread that was deleted with the
exit of the original inferior.  To remedy this we create the new thread,
and once we return from follow_exec we reset ecs->event_thread.

Note that we are guaranteed that we can reset ecs->event_thread
safely using inferior_thread because we have set the current
inferior in follow_exec, and inferior_ptid was set by the call
to context_switch at the beginning of exec event handling.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* infrun.c (follow_exec): Re-order operations for
	handling follow-exec-mode "new".
	(handle_inferior_event_1): Assign ecs->event_thread
	to the current thread.
	* remote.c (get_remote_arch_state): Add an assertion.

		   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.
