gdb/doc: revert previous vforkdone change
The previous manual change was wrong. The vfork parent thread ID should be reported with the usual "thread" magic register: Sending packet: $vCont;c:p7260.7260#1e...Packet received: OK - Notification received: Stop:T05vforkdone:; + Notification received: Stop:T05vforkdone:;thread:p7260.7260 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is already how the parent is reported in the vfork/fork events, and is actually what the fix made gdbserver do. Following the documentation change, the event would have been reported like this instead: Notification received: Stop:T05vforkdone:p7260.7260 gdb/doc/ChangeLog: 2015-09-15 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR remote/18965 * gdb.texinfo (Stop Reply Packets): Revert previous change to the vforkdone description.
