Hi Pedro,
Here is a new patch that adds the threads with the state set to
THREAD_RUNNING for fork events.
Thanks!
--Don

This patch addresses a failure in
gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp:

FAIL: gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp: cond_bp_target=1:
detach_on_fork=on: inferior 1 exited (timeout)

Cause:
A fork event was reported to GDB before GDB knew about the parent thread,
followed immediately by a breakpoint event in a different thread.  The
parent thread was subsequently added via remote_notice_new_inferior in
process_stop_reply, but when the thread was added the thread_info.state
was set to THREAD_STOPPED.  The fork event was then handled correctly,
but when the fork parent was resumed via a call to keep_going, the state
was unchanged.

The breakpoint event was then handled, which caused all the non-breakpoint
threads to be stopped.  When the breakpoint thread was resumed, all the
non-breakpoint threads were resumed via infrun.c:restart_threads.  Our old
fork parent wasn't restarted, because it still had thread_info.state set to
THREAD_STOPPED.  Ultimately the program under debug hung waiting for a
pthread_join while the old fork parent was stopped forever by GDB.

Fix:
Make sure to add the fork parent thread in the THREAD_RUNNING state by
calling remote_notice_new_inferior with RUNNING set to 1 when processing
a fork stop reply.

Tested on x86_64 Linux and Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-02-10  Don Breazeal  <donb@codesourcery.com>

	* remote.c (process_stop_reply): Call remote_notice_new_inferior
	with RUNNING set to 1 when handling fork events.

I checked, the patch still applies cleanly to mainline.
Thanks
