gdbserver crash if gdb attaches too fast
With "maint set target-non-stop on", the attach tests occasionally crash gdbserver. Basically, gdb attaches with vAttach;PID, and then shortly after reads the xml target description for that process, to figure out the process' architecture. On the gdbserver side, the target description is only filled in when the first process/thread in the thread group reports its initial PTRACE_ATTACH SIGSTOP. So if GDB is fast enough, it can read the target description _before_ that initial stop, and then gdbserver dies dereferencing a NULL tdesc pointer. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2015-11-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-low.c (linux_attach): In non-stop mode, wait for one stop before returning.
