Pedro Alves f348d89aec Fix PR gdb/18653: gdb disturbs inferior's inherited signal dispositions
gdb's (or gdbserver's) own signal handling should not interfere with
the signal dispositions their spawned children inherit.  However, it
currently does.  For example, some paths in gdb cause SIGPIPE to be
set to SIG_IGN, and as consequence, the child starts with SIGPIPE to
set to SIG_IGN too, even though gdb was started with SIGPIPE set to
SIG_DFL.

This is because the exec family of functions does not reset the signal
disposition of signals that are set to SIG_IGN:

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/execve.html

  Signals set to the default action (SIG_DFL) in the calling process
  image are set to the default action in the new process
  image. Signals set to be ignored (SIG_IGN) by the calling process
  image are set to be ignored by the new process image. Signals set to
  be caught by the calling process image are set to the default action
  in the new process image (see <signal.h>).

And neither does it reset signal masks or flags.

In order to be transparent, when spawning new child processes to debug
(with "run", etc.), reset signal actions and mask back to what was
originally inherited from gdb/gdbserver's parent, just before execing
the target program to debug.

		   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.
