lwp_info: Make the arch code free arch_lwp_info
I have the goal of "poisoning" the XNEW/xfree-family of functions, so that we catch their usages with non-POD types. A few things need to be fixed in the mean time, this is one. The common lwp code in linux-nat.c and gdbserver/linux-low.c xfrees the private lwp data of type arch_lwp_info. However, that type is opaque from its point of view, as its defined differently in each arch-specific implementation. This trips on the std::is_pod<T> check, since the compiler can't tell whether the type is POD or not if it doesn't know about it. My initial patch [1] made a class hierarchy with a virtual destructor. However, as Pedro pointed out, we only have one native architecture at the time built in gdb and gdbserver, so that's overkill. Instead, we can move the responsibility of free'ing arch_lwp_info to the arch code (which is also the one that allocated it in the first place). This is what this patch does. Also, I had the concern that if we wanted to use C++ features in these structures, we would have a problem with the one-definition rule. However, since a build will only have one version of arch_lwp_info, that's not a problem. There are changes in arch-specific files, I was only able to built-test this patch with the following cross-compilers: aarch64-linux-gnu alpha-linux-gnu arm-linux-gnueabihf hppa-linux-gnu m68k-linux-gnu mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 powerpc64-linux-gnu s390x-linux-gnu sh4-linux-gnu sparc64-linux-gnu x86_64-linux-gnu x86_64-w64-mingw32 A buildbot run didn't find any regression.
