Tom de Vries 6418644b0d [gdb] Block SIGTERM in worker threads
With gdb build with gcc-12 and -fsanitize=thread, and test-case
gdb.base/gdb-sigterm.exp, I run into:
...
WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race (pid=9722)^M
  Write of size 4 at 0x00000325bc68 by thread T1:^M
  #0 handle_sigterm(int) src/gdb/event-top.c:1211 (gdb+0x8ec01f)^M
  ...
  Previous read of size 4 at 0x00000325bc68 by main thread:^M
    [failed to restore the stack]^M
^M
  Location is global 'sync_quit_force_run' of size 4 at \
  0x00000325bc68 (gdb+0x325bc68)^M
  ...
SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race gdb/event-top.c:1211 in \
  handle_sigterm(int)^M
...
and 3 more data races involving handle_sigterm and locations:
- active_ext_lang
- quit_flag
- heap block of size 40
  (XNEW (async_signal_handler) in create_async_signal_handler)

This was reported in PR29297.

The testcase executes a "kill -TERM $gdb_pid", which generates a
process-directed signal.

A process-directed signal can be delivered to any thread, and what we see
here is the fallout of the signal being delivered to a worker thread rather
than the main thread.

Fix this by blocking SIGTERM in the worker threads.

[ I have not been able to reproduce this after it occurred for the first time,
so unfortunately I cannot confirm that the patch fixes the problem. ]

Tested on x86_64-linux, with and without -fsanitize=thread.

		   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.
