Andrew Burgess 9e6a252c06 gdb/mi: fix use after free of frame_info causing spurious notifications
In commit:

  commit a2757c4ed693cef4ecc4dcdcb2518353eb6b3c3f
  Date:   Wed Mar 16 15:08:22 2022 +0000

      gdb/mi: consistently notify user when GDB/MI client uses -thread-select

Changes were made to GDB to address some inconsistencies in when
notifications are sent from a MI terminal to a CLI terminal (when
multiple terminals are in use, see new-ui command).

Unfortunately, in order to track when the currently selected frame has
changed, that commit grabs a frame_info pointer before and after an MI
command has executed, and compares the pointers to see if the frame
has changed.

This is not safe.

If the frame cache is deleted for any reason then the frame_info
pointer captured before the command started, is no longer valid, and
any comparisons based on that pointer are undefined.

This was leading to random test failures for some folk, see:

  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2022-March/186867.html

This commit changes GDB so we no longer hold frame_info pointers, but
instead store the frame_id and frame_level, this is safe even when the
frame cache is flushed.

		   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.
