Pedro Alves a9deee17d3 gdb+gdbserver/Linux: avoid reading registers while going through shell
For every stop, Linux GDB and GDBserver save the stopped thread's PC,
in lwp->stop_pc.  This is done in save_stop_reason, in both
gdb/linux-nat.c and gdbserver/linux-low.cc.  However, while we're
going through the shell after "run", in startup_inferior, we shouldn't
be reading registers, as we haven't yet determined the target's
architecture -- the shell's architecture may not even be the same as
the final inferior's.

In gdb/linux-nat.c, lwp->stop_pc is only needed when the thread has
stopped for a breakpoint, and since when going through the shell, no
breakpoint is going to hit, we could simply teach save_stop_reason to
only record the stop pc when the thread stopped for a breakpoint.

However, in gdbserver/linux-low.cc, lwp->stop_pc is used in more cases
than breakpoint hits (e.g., it's used in tracepoints & the
"while-stepping" feature).

So to avoid GDB vs GDBserver divergence, we apply the same approach to
both implementations.

We set a flag in the inferior (process in GDBserver) whenever it is
being nursed through the shell, and when that flag is set,
save_stop_reason bails out early.  While going through the shell,
we'll only ever get process exits (normal or signalled), random
signals, and exec events, so nothing is lost.

		   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.
