Initialize target description early in IPA
Target descriptions are allocated lazily, that is fine in GDBserver, but it is not safe to call malloc in gdb_collect in IPA, because we can set a fast tracepoint in malloc, and when the tracepoint is hit, gdb_collect/malloc is called, deadlock or memory corruption may be triggered. #0 0xf7cfc200 in malloc () #1 0xf7efdc07 in operator new(unsigned int) () #2 0xf7ef7636 in allocate_target_description() () #3 0xf7efcbe1 in i386_create_target_description(unsigned long long, bool) () #4 0xf7efb474 in i386_linux_read_description(unsigned long long) () #5 0xf7efb190 in get_ipa_tdesc(int) () #6 0xf7ef9baa in gdb_collect () The fix is to initialize all target descriptions earlier, when the IPA is loaded. In order to guarantee malloc is not called in IPA in gdb_collect, I change the test to set a breakpoint on malloc, if IPA gdb_collect calls malloc, program will hit the breakpoint, and test fail. continue Continuing.
