Make handle_no_resumed transfer terminal
Let's consider the same use case as in the previous commit: Say you have two inferiors 1 and 2, each connected to a different target, A and B. Now say you set inferior 2 running, with "continue &". Now you select a thread of inferior 1, say thread 1.2, and continue in the foreground. All other threads of inferior 1 are left stopped. Thread 1.2 exits, and thus target A has no other resumed thread, so it reports TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED. At this point, because the threads of inferior 2 are still executing the TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED event is ignored. Now, the user types Ctrl-C. Because GDB had previously put inferior 1 in the foreground, the kernel sends the SIGINT to that inferior. However, no thread in that inferior is executing right now, so ptrace never intercepts the SIGINT -- it is never dequeued by any thread. The result is that GDB's CLI is stuck. There's no way to get back the prompt (unless inferior 2 happens to report some event). The fix in this commit is to make handle_no_resumed give the terminal to some other inferior that still has threads executing so that a subsequent Ctrl-C reaches that target first (and then GDB intercepts the SIGINT). This is a bit hacky, but seems like the best we can do with the current design. I think that putting all native inferiors in their own session would help fixing this in a clean way, since with that a Ctrl-C on GDB's terminal will _always_ reach GDB first, and then GDB can decide how to pause the inferior. But that's a much larger change. The testcase added by the following patch needs this fix. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/26199 * infrun.c (handle_no_resumed): Transfer terminal to inferior with executing threads.
