The problem is that linux_wait_for_event deletes lwps that have exited
(even those not passed in as lwps of interest), while the lwp/thread
list is being walked on with find_inferior.  find_inferior can handle
the current iterated inferior being deleted, but not others.

When killing lwps, we don't really care about any of the pending
status handling of linux_wait_for_event.  We can just waitpid the lwps
directly, which is also what GDB does (see
linux-nat.c:kill_wait_callback).  This way the lwps are not deleted
while we're walking the list.  They'll be deleted by linux_mourn
afterwards.

This crash triggers several times when running the testsuite against
GDBserver with the native-gdbserver board (target remote), but as GDB
can't distinguish between GDBserver crashing and "kill" being
sucessful, as in both cases the connection is closed (the 'k' packet
doesn't require a reply), and the inferior is gone, that results in no
FAIL.

The patch adds a generic test that catches the issue with
extended-remote mode (and works fine with native testing too).  Here's
how it fails with the native-extended-gdbserver board without the fix:

fix record "run" regression

This fixes the record "run" regression pointed out by Marc Khouzam:

    https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2014-06/msg00096.html

The bug is that target_require_runnable must agree with the handling
of the "run" target, but currently it is out of sync.  This patch
fixes the problem by changing target_require_runnable to also ignore
the record_stratum.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

fix PR 17106

This fixes PR 17106, a regression in printing.

The bug is that resolve_dynamic_type follows struct members and
references, but doesn't consider the possibility of infinite
recursion.

This patch fixes the problem by limiting reference following to the
topmost layer of calls -- that is, reference-typed struct members are
never considered as being VLAs.

Put the inferior's terminal settings in effect while running (fg) infcalls

The "call" and "print" commands presently always run synchronously, in
the foreground, but GDB currently forgets to put the inferior's
terminal settings into effect while running them, on async-capable
targets, resulting in:

 (gdb) print func ()
 hello world

 Program received signal SIGTTOU, Stopped (tty output).
 0x000000373bceb8d0 in __libc_tcdrain (fd=1) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tcdrain.c:29
 29          return INLINE_SYSCALL (ioctl, 3, fd, TCSBRK, 1);
 The program being debugged was signaled while in a function called from GDB.
 GDB remains in the frame where the signal was received.
 To change this behavior use "set unwindonsignal on".
 Evaluation of the expression containing the function
 (func) will be abandoned.
 When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.
 (gdb)

That's because target_terminal_inferior skips actually doing anything
if running in the background, and, nothing is setting sync_execution
while running infcalls:

 void
 target_terminal_inferior (void)
 {
   /* A background resume (``run&'') should leave GDB in control of the
      terminal.  Use target_can_async_p, not target_is_async_p, since at
      this point the target is not async yet.  However, if sync_execution
      is not set, we know it will become async prior to resume.  */
   if (target_can_async_p () && !sync_execution)
     return;

This would best be all cleaned up by making GDB not even call
target_terminal_inferior and try to pass the terminal to the inferior
if running in the background, but that's a more invasive fix that is
better done post-7.8.

This was originally caught by a patch later in this series that makes
catch_command_errors use exception_print instead of
print_any_exception.  Note that print_flush calls serial_drain_output
while print_any_exception doesnt't have that bit.  And,
gdb.gdb/python-selftest.exp does:

 gdb_test "call catch_command_errors(execute_command, \"python print 5\", 0, RETURN_MASK_ALL)" \
   "Python not initialized.* = 0"

which without this fix results in SIGTTOU...

Move catch_command_errors and catch_command_errors_const to main.c

We'll need to add error handling code to commands run before the event

those are run through catch_command_errors, and, catch_command_errors
is used nowhere else.  Move it (and the _const variant) to main.c, so

Canceling pagination caused by execution command from command line aborts readline/gdb

 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
 Aborted
 $

Usually, if an error propagates all the way to the top level, we'll
re-enable stdin, in case the command that was running was a
synchronous command.  That's done in the event loop's actual loop
(event-loop.c:start_event_loop).  However, if a foreground execution
command is run before the event loop starts and throws, nothing is
presently reenabling stdin, which leaves sync_execution set.

When we do start the event loop, because sync_execution is still
(mistakenly) set, display_gdb_prompt removes the readline input
callback, even though stdin is registered in the event loop.  Any
input from here on results in readline aborting.

Such commands are run through catch_command_errors,
catch_command_errors_const, so add the tweak there.

Background execution + pagination aborts readline/gdb

If pagination occurs as result of output sent as response to a target
event while the target is executing in the background, subsequent
input aborts readline/gdb:

 $ gdb program
 ...
 (gdb) continue&
 Continuing.
 (gdb)
 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
 *return*
 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
 Breakpoint 2, after_sleep () at paginate-bg-execution.c:21
 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
 21        return; /* after sleep */
 p 1
 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
 *abort/SIGABRT*
 $

gdb_readline_wrapper_line removes the handler after a line is
processed.  Usually, we'll end up re-displaying the prompt, and that
reinstalls the handler.  But if the output is coming out of handling
a stop event, we don't re-display the prompt, and nothing restores the
handler.  So the next input wakes up the event loop and calls into
readline, which aborts.

We should do better with the prompt handling while the target is
running (I think we should coordinate with readline, and
hide/redisplay it around output), but that's a more invasive change
better done post 7.8, so this patch is conservative and just
reinstalls the handler as soon as we're out of the readline line
callback.

Remove the target from the event loop while in secondary prompts

If a pagination prompt triggers while the target is running, and the
target exits before the user responded to the pagination query, this
happens:

  Starting program: foo
  ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---No unwaited-for children left.
  Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  (gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
  (gdb)

To reiterate, the user hasn't replied to the pagination prompt above.

A pagination query nests an event loop (in gdb_readline_wrapper).  In
async mode, in addition to stdin and signal handlers, we'll have the
target also installed in the event loop still.  So if the target
reports an event, that wakes up the nested event loop, which calls
into fetch_inferior_event etc. to handle the event which generates
further output, all while we should be waiting for pagination
confirmation...

(TBC, any target event that generates output ends up spuriously waking
up the pagination, though exits seem to be the worse kind.)

I've played with a couple different approaches to fixing this, while
at the same time trying to avoid being invasive.  Both revolve around
not listening to target events while in a pagination prompt (doing
anything else I think would be a much bigger change).

The approach taken just removes the target from the event loop while
within gdb_readline_wrapper.  The other approach used gdb_select
directly, with only input_fd installed, but that had the issue that it
didn't handle the async signal handlers, and turned out to be a bit
more code than the first version.

Fix double prompt

If an error is thrown while handling a target event (within
fetch_inferior_event), and, the interpreter is not async (but the
target is), then GDB prints the prompt twice.

One way to see that in action is throw a QUIT while in a pagination
prompt issued from within fetch_inferior_event (or one of its
callees).  E.g. from the test:

 ---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
 ^CQuit
 (gdb) (gdb) p 1
 ^^^^^^^^^^^
 $1 = 1
 (gdb)

The issue is that inferior_event_handler swallows errors and notifies
the observers (the interpreters) about the command error, even if the
interpreter is forced sync while we're handling a nested event loop
(for execute_command).  The observers print a prompt, and then when we
get back to the top event loop, we print another (in
start_event_loop).

I see no reason the error should be swallowed here.  Just cancel the
execution related bits and let the error propagate to the top level
(start_event_loop), which re-enables stdin and notifies observers.

Put GDB's terminal settings into effect when paginating

When the target is resumed in the foreground, we put the inferior's
terminal settings into effect, and remove stdin from the event loop.
When the target stops, we put GDB's terminal settings into effect
again, and re-register stdin in the event loop, ready for user input.
The former is done by target_terminal_inferior, and the latter by
target_terminal_ours.

There's an intermediate -- target_terminal_ours_for_output -- that is
called when printing output related to target events, and we don't
know yet whether we'll stop the program.  That puts our terminal
settings into effect, enough to get proper results from our output,
but leaves input wired into the inferior.

If such output paginates, then we need the full target_terminal_ours
in order for the user to be able to provide input to answer the
pagination query.

The test in this commit hangs in async-capable targets without the fix
(as the user/test can't answer the pagination query).  It doesn't hang
on sync targets because on those we don't unregister stdin from the
event loop while the target is running (because we block in
target_wait instead of in the event loop in that case).
