Fix use-after-free in gdbserver
-fsanitize=address pointed out a use-after-free in gdbserver. In particular, handle_detach could reference "process" after it was deleted by detach_inferior. Avoiding this also necessitated changing target_ops::join to take a pid rather than a process_info*. Tested by the buildbot using a few of the gdbserver builders. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog 2018-11-29 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * win32-low.c (win32_join): Take pid, not process. * target.h (struct target_ops) <join>: Change argument type. (join_inferior): Change argument name. * spu-low.c (spu_join): Take pid, not process. * server.c (handle_detach): Preserve pid before destroying process. * lynx-low.c (lynx_join): Take pid, not process. * linux-low.c (linux_join): Take pid, not process.
