Sergio Durigan Junior June 4, 2017, 10:18 p.m. UTC
  This is the most important (and the biggest, sorry) patch of the
series.  It moves fork_inferior from gdb/fork-child.c to
common/common-fork-child.c and makes all the necessary adjustments to
both GDB and gdbserver to make sure everything works OK.

There is no "most important change" with this patch; all changes are
made in a progressive way, making sure that gdbserver had the
necessary features while not breaking GDB at the same time.

I decided to go ahead and implement a partial support for starting the
inferior with a shell on gdbserver, although the full feature comes in
the next patch.  The user won't have the option to disable the
startup-with-shell, and also won't be able to change which shell
gdbserver will use (other than setting the $SHELL environment
variable, that is).

Everything is working as expected, and no regressions were present
during the tests.

Hi Sergio,
This patch causes a lot of test fails on AArch64, shown by buildbot,
https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/Ubuntu-AArch64-native-gdbserver-m64/builds/2099
However, other builders with GDBserver look fine.  I haven't triage them yet.

Hi Yao,

Thanks for the message.  I'll look at these right away.

I just started to play with GDB on macOS, and it seems currently broken, 
a bisect pointed me to this commit 
(2090129c36c7e582943b7d300968d19b46160d84).

When trying to run/start, I get this:

Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x100000fb6: file /Users/simark/test.c, line 
2.
Starting program: /Users/simark/test
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/darwin-nat.c:383: internal-error: 
void darwin_check_new_threads(struct inferior *): Assertion `tp' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)

I haven't investigated yet, but I thought I'd share the information in 
case somebody is interested .

I am CCing Tristan because he's the last person who made fixes to keep 
the macOS support somewhat working (thanks!).  If you could at least 
tell if you get the same error, it would be helpful.

Thanks,

Simon

I'll try to investigate as well, but for obvious reasons I don't have a
mac.  I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,
