Pedro Alves e1316e60d4 Fix and test "checkpoint" in non-stop mode
Letting a "checkpoint" run to exit with "set non-stop on" behaves
differently compared to the default all-stop mode ("set non-stop
off").

Currently, in non-stop mode:

  (gdb) start
  Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x40086b: file src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c, line 28.
  Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint

  Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28
  28        char *tmp = &linebuf[0];
  (gdb) checkpoint
  checkpoint 1: fork returned pid 24948.
  (gdb) c
  Continuing.
  Copy complete.
  Deleting copy.
  [Inferior 1 (process 24944) exited normally]
  [Switching to process 24948]
  (gdb) info threads
    Id   Target Id         Frame
    1    process 24948 "checkpoint" (running)

  No selected thread.  See `help thread'.
  (gdb) c
  The program is not being run.
  (gdb)

Two issues above:

 1. Thread 1 got stuck in "(running)" state (it isn't really running)

 2. While checkpoints try to preserve the illusion that the thread is
    still the same when the process exits, GDB switched to "No thread
    selected." instead of staying with thread 1 selected.

Problem #1 is caused by handle_inferior_event and normal_stop not
considering that when a
TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED/TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED event is reported,
and the inferior is mourned, the target may still have execution.

Problem #2 is caused by the make_cleanup_restore_current_thread
cleanup installed by fetch_inferior_event not being able to find the
original thread 1's ptid in the thread list, thus not being able to
restore thread 1 as selected thread.  The fix is to make the cleanup
installed by make_cleanup_restore_current_thread aware of thread ptid
changes, by installing a thread_ptid_changed observer that adjusts the
cleanup's data.

After the patch, we get the same in all-stop and non-stop modes:

  (gdb) c
  Continuing.
  Copy complete.
  Deleting copy.
  [Inferior 1 (process 25109) exited normally]
  [Switching to process 25113]
  (gdb) info threads
    Id   Target Id         Frame
  * 1    process 25113 "checkpoint" main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/checkpoint.c:28
  (gdb)

Turns out the whole checkpoints.exp file can run in non-stop mode
unmodified.  I thought of moving most of the test file's contents to a
procedure that can be called twice, once in non-stop mode and another
in all-stop mode.  But then, the test already takes close to 30
seconds to run on my machine, so I thought it'd be nicer to run
all-stop and non-stop mode in parallel.  Thus I added a new
checkpoint-ns.exp file that just appends "set non-stop on" to GDBFLAGS
and sources checkpoint.exp.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-08-07  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): If we get
	TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED or TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED in non-stop
	mode, mark all threads of the exiting process as not-executing.
	(normal_stop): If we get TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED or
	TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED in non-stop mode, finish all threads of the
	exiting process, if inferior_ptid still points at a process.
	* thread.c (struct current_thread_cleanup) <next>: New field.
	(current_thread_cleanup_chain): New global.
	(restore_current_thread_ptid_changed): New function.
	(restore_current_thread_cleanup_dtor): Remove the cleanup from the
	current_thread_cleanup_chain list.
	(make_cleanup_restore_current_thread): Add the cleanup data to the
	current_thread_cleanup_chain list.
	(_initialize_thread): Install restore_current_thread_ptid_changed
	as thread_ptid_changed observer.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-08-07  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* gdb.base/checkpoint-ns.exp: New file.
	* gdb.base/checkpoint.exp: Pass explicit "checkpoint.c" to
	standard_testfile.

		   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.
