gdb/remote: use current_inferior in read_ptid if multi-process not supported
When parsing the ptid out of a reply package, if the multi-process extensions are not supported, use current_inferior's pid as the pid of the reported thread, instead of inferior_ptid. This is needed because the inferior_ptid may be null_ptid although a legit context exists, due to a prior context switch via switch_to_inferior_no_thread. Below is a scenario that illustrates what could go wrong. First, setup a multi-target scenario. This is needed, because in a multi-target setting, the inferior_ptid is cleared out before waiting on targets. The second inferior below sits on top of a remote target. Multi-process packets are disabled. $ # First, spawn a process with PID 26253 to attach to later. $ gdb-up a.out Reading symbols from a.out...

The PID in '42000.26253.0', namely 42000, is the PID of magic_null_ptid. It comes from gdb/remote.c:read_ptid: /* Since the stub is not sending a process id, then default to what's in inferior_ptid, unless it's null at this point. If so, then since there's no way to know the pid of the reported threads, use the magic number. */ if (inferior_ptid == null_ptid) pid = magic_null_ptid.pid (); else pid = inferior_ptid.pid (); if (obuf) *obuf = pp; return ptid_t (pid, tid); Because multi-process was turned off, GDB did not parse an explicitly specified PID. Furthermore, inferior_ptid == null_ptid, and eventually GDB picked the PID from magic_null_ptid. If target-non-stop is not turned on at the beginning, the same bug reveals itself as a duplicated thread as shown below. # Same setup as above, without 'maint set target-non-stop on'. ...
