gdb: don't use inferior_ptid in linux_nat_wait_1
target_ops::wait implementations should not rely on the value of inferior_ptid on entry. While looking at another wait-related patch, I noticed that the code in linux_nat_wait_1, checking for a newly created process, did just that. This patch fixes it. Note that I didn't see any bug, this "fix" is simply to make the function respect the target_ops::wait contract. Instead of checking inferior_ptid, check for the passed in `ptid` value. During startup, linux_nat_wait_1 gets called a few times with the pid-only ptid, while startup_inferior waits for the expected number of exec events. For this reason, I needed to add a `find_lwp_pid` call to ensure that the actions of changing the main thread's ptid, and adding the initial lwp, were done only once for a given process. This was not needed before, since thread_change_ptid, through the thread_ptid_changed observer, ends up changing inferior_ptid. So the second time around, inferior_ptid was not a pid-only ptid. That find_lwp_pid won't add much overhead, as it will only be called when the ptid is a pid-only ptid. And AFAIK, that only happens during inferior startup. An alternative to that `find_lwp_pid` call might be to make startup_inferior realize that the main thread has changed ptid, and make it wait for the new ptid. But that doesn't look easy to do. Regtested on amd64/Linux. gdb/ChangeLog: * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_wait_1): Don't use inferior_ptid when checking for initial lwp. Change-Id: I8f1d5c766f5cb2a29c948bc75fa4582d7130c23f
