Redesign mock environment for gdbarch selftests
A following patch will remove this hack from within regcache's
implementation:
struct regcache *
get_thread_arch_regcache (ptid_t ptid, struct gdbarch *gdbarch)
{
struct address_space *aspace;
/* For the benefit of "maint print registers" & co when debugging an
executable, allow dumping the regcache even when there is no
thread selected (target_thread_address_space internal-errors if
no address space is found). Note that normal user commands will
fail higher up on the call stack due to no
target_has_registers. */
aspace = (ptid_equal (null_ptid, ptid)
? NULL
: target_thread_address_space (ptid));
i.e., it'll no longer be possible to try to build a regcache for
null_ptid. That change alone would regress the gdbarch self tests
though, causing this:
(gdb) maintenance selftest
[...]
Running selftest register_to_value.
src/gdb/inferior.c:309: internal-error: inferior* find_inferior_pid(int): Assertion `pid != 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.gdb/unittest.exp: maintenance selftest (GDB internal error)
The problem is that the way the mocking environment for those unit
tests is written is a bit fragile: it creates a special purpose
regcache (and sentinel's frame), using whatever is the current
inferior_ptid (usually null_ptid), and assumes get_current_regcache
will find that in the regcache::current_regcache list.
This commit changes the way the mock environment is created. It
eliminates the special regcache and frame and instead creates a fuller
mock environment, with a custom mock target_ops, and then a mock
inferior and thread "running" on that target.
If there's already a running target when you type "maint selftest",
then we error out, instead of pushing a new target on top of the
existing one (and thus killing the debug session). This results in:
(gdb) maint selftest
(...)

Ran 19 unit tests, 1 failed
I think that's OK, because self tests are really meant to be run from
a clean state right after GDB is started. I'm adding that erroring
out just as safe measure just in case someone types "maint selftest"
on the command line while already debugging something (as I've done
it).
(In my multi-target branch, where this patch originated from, we don't
actually need to error out, because there each inferior has its own
target stack).
Also, note that the current code was doing:
current_inferior()->gdbarch = gdbarch;
without taking care to restore the previous gdbarch. This means that
GDB's state was being left inconsistent after running the self tests,
further supporting the point that there's probably not much
expectation that mixing "maint selftests" and regular debugging in the
same GDB invocation really works. This patch fixes that, regardless.
