Simon Marchi b67aeab02c Remove lwp -> pid conversion in linux_nat_xfer_partial
The linux_nat_xfer_partial does a conversion of inferior_ptid: if it's
an LWP (ptid::lwp != 0), it builds a new ptid with the lwp as
the pid and assigns that temporarily to inferior_ptid.  For example, if
inferior_ptid is:

  { .pid = 1234, .lwp = 1235 }

it will assign this to inferior_ptid for the duration of the call:

  { .pid = 1235, .lwp = 0 }

Instead of doing this, this patch teaches the inf-ptrace implementation
of xfer_partial to deal with ptids representing lwps by using
get_ptrace_pid.

Also, in linux_proc_xfer_spu and linux_proc_xfer_partial, we use ptid_get_lwp
instead of ptid_get_pid.  While not strictly necessary, since the content of
/proc/<pid> and /proc/<lwp> should be the same, it's a bit safer, because:

- some files under /proc/<pid>/ may not work if the <pid> thread is
  running, just like ptrace requires a stopped thread.  The current
  thread's lwp id is more likely to be in the necessary state (stopped).

- if the leader (<pid>) had exited and is thus now zombie, then several
  files under "/proc/<pid>" won't work, while they will if you use
  "/proc/<lwp>".

The testsuite found no regression on native amd64 linux.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_xfer_partial): Get pid from ptid
	using get_ptrace_pid.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_xfer_partial): Don't set/restore
	inferior_ptid.
	(linux_proc_xfer_partial, linux_proc_xfer_spu): Use lwp of
	inferior_ptid instead of pid.

		   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.
