In AIX when a thread exits we were not showing that a thread exit event happened
and GDB continued to keep the terminated threads.

If we have terminated threads then the UI on info threads command will look like
(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id                                          Frame
* 1    Thread 1 (tid 26607979, running)    0xd0611d70 in _p_nsleep () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(_shr_xpg5.o)
  2    Thread 258 (tid 30998799, finished) aix-thread: ptrace (52, 30998799) returned -1 (errno = 3 The process does not exist.)

If we see the frame is not getting displayed correctly.

The reason for the same is that in AIX we were not managing thread states. In particular we do not know
when a thread terminates.

The reason being in sync_threadlists () the pbuf and gbuf lists remain the same though certain threads exit.

This patch is a fix to the same.

Also certain UI is changed.

On a new thread born and exit the UI in AIX will be similar to Linux with both user and kernel thread information.

This is an older version of the patch. Sorry for resending this. Kindly ignore the same. I have sent the latest version in another git send-email.

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Aditya.

Please use -v <n> (e.g. '-v 2') with a new version of n each time you use git send-email
to send a new version of a patch.  This makes includes the 'n' value in the e-mail
subject making it easier to see which version is the latest version.
