Pedro Alves 5cd63fda03 Fix "Remote 'g' packet reply is too long" problems with multiple inferiors
When debugging two inferiors (or more) against gdbserver, and the
inferiors have different architectures, such as e.g., on x86_64
GNU/Linux and one inferior is 64-bit while the other is 32-bit, then
GDB can get confused with the different architectures in a couple
spots.

In both cases I ran into, GDB incorrectly ended up using the
architecture of whatever happens to be the selected inferior instead
of the architecture of some other given inferior:

#1 - When parsing the expedited registers in stop replies.

#2 - In the default implementation of the target_thread_architecture
     target method.

These resulted in instances of the infamous "Remote 'g' packet reply
is too long" error.  For example, with the test added in this commit,
we get:

~~~
  Continuing.
  Remote 'g' packet reply is too long (expected 440 bytes, got 816 bytes): ad064000000000000[snip]
  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp: inf1 event with inf2 selected: continue to hello_loop

  c
  Continuing.
  Truncated register 50 in remote 'g' packet
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp: inf2 event with inf1 selected: c
~~~

This commit fixes that.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-10-04  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* remote.c (get_remote_arch_state): New 'gdbarch' parameter.  Use
	it instead of target_gdbarch.
	(get_remote_state, get_remote_packet_size): Adjust
	get_remote_arch_state calls, passing down target_gdbarch
	explicitly.
	(packet_reg_from_regnum, packet_reg_from_pnum): New parameter
	'gdbarch' and use it instead of target_gdbarch.
	(get_memory_packet_size): Adjust get_remote_arch_state calls,
	passing down target_gdbarch explicitly.
	(struct stop_reply) <arch>: New field.
	(remote_parse_stop_reply): Use the stopped thread's architecture,
	not the current inferior's.  Save the architecture in the
	stop_reply.
	(process_stop_reply): Use the stop reply's architecture.
	(process_g_packet, remote_fetch_registers)
	(remote_prepare_to_store, store_registers_using_G)
	(remote_store_registers): Adjust get_remote_arch_state calls,
	using the regcache's architecture.
	(remote_get_trace_status): Adjust get_remote_arch_state calls,
	passing down target_gdbarch explicitly.
	* spu-multiarch.c (spu_thread_architecture): Defer to the target
	beneath instead of calling target_gdbarch.
	* target.c (default_thread_architecture): Use the specified
	inferior's architecture, instead of the current inferior's
	architecture (via target_gdbarch).

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-10-04  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* gdb.multi/hangout.c: Include <unistd.h>.
	(hangout_loop): New function.
	(main): Call alarm.  Call hangout_loop in a loop.
	* gdb.multi/hello.c: Include <unistd.h>.
	(hello_loop): New function.
	(main): Call alarm.  Call hangout_loop in a loop.
	* gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp: Test running to a breakpoint one
	inferior with the other selected.

		   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.
