* linux-low.c (linux_attach_lwp): Do not _exit after errors.
(linux_kill, linux_detach): Clean up the process list. * remote-utils.c (remote_open): Improve port number parsing. (putpkt_binary, input_interrupt): Only send interrupts if the target is running. * server.c (extended_protocol): Make static. (attached): Define earlier. (exit_requested, response_needed, program_argv): New variables. (target_running): New. (start_inferior): Clear attached here. (attach_inferior): Set attached here. (require_running): Define. (handle_query): Use require_running and target_running. Implement "monitor exit". (handle_v_attach, handle_v_run): New. (handle_v_requests): Use require_running. Handle vAttach and vRun. (gdbserver_usage): Update. (main): Redo argument parsing. Handle --debug and --multi. Handle --attach along with other options or after the port. Save program_argv. Support no initial program. Resynchronize communication with GDB after an error. Handle "monitor exit". Use require_running and target_running. Always allow the extended protocol. Do not error out for Hc0 or Hc-1. Do not automatically restart in extended mode. * README: Refer to the GDB manual. Update --attach usage. * remote.c (struct remote_state): Add cached_wait_status. (remote_exec_file): New variable. (PACKET_vAttach, PACKET_vRun): New constants. (extended_remote_restart): Do not query for status. (struct start_remote_args): New. (remote_start_remote): Take it as a second argument. Check whether the target is running. Issue an error for non-running non-extended targets. Cache the wait status. Set inferior_ptid here. (remote_open_1): Prompt to disconnect non-running targets. Make sure the target is marked running. Do not set inferior_ptid here. Update call to remote_start_remote. Do not call remote_check_symbols if the target is not running. (remote_detach_1): Rename from remote_detach. Take an EXTENDED argument. Handle a non-running target. (remote_detach): Use it. (extended_remote_detach): New. (remote_disconnect): Fix typo. Use remoute_mourn_1. (extended_remote_attach_1, extended_remote_attach) (extended_async_remote_attach): New. (remote_vcont_resume): Remove unused variable. (remote_wait, remote_async_wait): Use any cached wait status. (putpkt_binary, getpkt): Clear any cached wait status. (extended_remoute_mourn_1): New. (extended_remote_mourn): Use it. (extended_async_remote_mourn, extended_remote_run): New. (extended_remote_create_inferior_1): New. (extended_remote_create_inferior): Use it. (extended_remote_async_create_inferior): Likewise. (remote_xfer_partial): Skip for non-executing targets. (init_extended_remote_ops): Set to_detach and to_attach. (init_extended_async_remote_ops): Likewise. Use extended_async_remote_mourn. (_initialize_remote): Register vAttach, vRun, and set remote exec-file. * NEWS: Mention vAttach, vRun, and gdbserver extended-remote support. * gdb.server/ext-attach.c, gdb.server/ext-attach.exp, gdb.server/ext-run.exp: New files. * lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_download): New. (gdbserver_start): New. Update gdbserver expected output. (gdbserver_spawn): Use them. (gdbserver_start_extended): New. * gdb.texinfo (Using the `gdbserver' Program): Add security warning. Rearrange into subsections and subsubsections. Document --multi and --debug. Correct --with-sysroot typo. Update --attach usage. Make load reference clearer. Document monitor exit. (Remote Configuration): Document set remote exec-file, attach-packet, and run-packet. (Packets): Document vAttach and vRun.
