gdb: register signal handler after setting up event token
This commit fixes the smallest of small possible bug related to signal handling. If we look in async_init_signals we see code like this: signal (SIGQUIT, handle_sigquit); sigquit_token = create_async_signal_handler (async_do_nothing, NULL, "sigquit"); Then if we look in handle_sigquit we see code like this: mark_async_signal_handler (sigquit_token); signal (sig, handle_sigquit); Finally, in mark_async_signal_handler we have: async_handler_ptr->ready = 1; Where async_handler_ptr will be sigquit_token. What this means is that if a SIGQUIT arrive in async_init_signals after handle_sigquit has been registered, but before sigquit_token has been initialised, then GDB will most likely crash. The chance of this happening is tiny, but fixing this is trivial, just ensure we call create_async_signal_handler before calling signal, so lets do that. There are no tests for this. Trying to land a signal in the right spot is pretty hit and miss. I did try changing the current HEAD GDB like this: signal (SIGQUIT, handle_sigquit); raise (SIGQUIT); sigquit_token = create_async_signal_handler (async_do_nothing, NULL, "sigquit"); And confirmed that this did result in a crash, after my change I tried this: sigquit_token = create_async_signal_handler (async_do_nothing, NULL, "sigquit"); signal (SIGQUIT, handle_sigquit); raise (SIGQUIT); And GDB now starts up just fine. gdb/ChangeLog: * event-top.c (async_init_signals): For each signal, call signal only after calling create_async_signal_handler.
