gdb/linux-nat: remove check based on current_inferior in linux_handle_extended_wait
The check removed by this patch, using current_inferior, looks wrong. When debugging multiple inferiors with the Linux native target and linux_handle_extended_wait is called, there's no guarantee about which is the current inferior. The vfork-done event we receive could be for any inferior. If the vfork-done event is for a non-current inferior, we end up wrongfully ignoring it. As a result, the core never processes a TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE event, program_space::breakpoints_not_allowed is never cleared, and breakpoints are never reinserted. However, because the Linux native target decided to ignore the event, it resumed the thread - while breakpoints out. And that's bad. The proposed fix is to remove this check. Always report vfork-done events and let infrun's logic decide if it should be ignored. We don't save much cycles by filtering the event here. Add a test that replicates the situation described above. See comments in the test for more details. Change-Id: Ibe33c1716c3602e847be6c2093120696f2286fbf
