As mentioned in commit bf93d7ba9931 ("Add thread after updating
gdbarch when exec'ing"), we should avoid doing register reads after a
process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's gdbarch.
Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
architecture.
There's still (at least) one case where we still read registers
post-exec with the pre-exec architecture. That's when infrun decides
it needs to switch context to the exec'ing thread. I.e., if the exec
event is processed at a time when the current thread is not already
the exec'ing thread, then we get (with the test added by this commit):
continue
Continuing.

Truncated register 50 in remote 'g' packet
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: selected_thread=2: follow_exec_mode=same: continue across exec that changes architecture
The fix is to avoid reading registers when switching context in this
case.
(I'd be nice to get rid of the constant stop_pc reading when switching
threads, but that'd be a deeper change.)
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-10-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1) <TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD>: Skip
reading registers when switching context.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2017-10-09 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.c: Include <pthread.h> and <assert.h>.
(barrier): New.
(thread_start, all_started): New functions.
(main): Spawn new thread and wait until it is scheduled.
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: Build $srcfile1 with the pthreads
option.
(do_test): Add 'selected_thread' parameter. Run to all_started
instead of main. Explicitly set the breakpoint at main. Switch
to the SELECTED_THREAD thread.
(top level): Test handling the exec event with either the main
thread or the second thread 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.
