Add thread_db_notice_clone to gdbserver
While working on a patch for fetching a thread handle in gdbserver, I
ran into a circumstance in which tests in gdb.mi/mi-nsmoribund.exp
would occasionally fail. Over a large enough number of runs, it would
fail roughly 2% of the time.
That thread handle patch caused find_one_thread() to be called on
every stop. find_one_thread() calls td_ta_map_lwp2thr() which, in
turn, can cause ps_get_thread_area() to be called.
ps_get_thread_area() makes a call to ptrace() for getting the thread
area address. If this should happen when the thread is not stopped,
the call to ptrace will return error which in turn propogates back to
find_one_thread(). find_one_thread() calls error() in this instance
which causes the program to die.
This patch causes find_one_thread() to be called upon reciept of a
clone event. Since the clone is stopped, the circumstances described
above cannot occur.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* linux-low.c (handle_extended_wait): Call thread_db_notice_clone().
* linux-low.h (thread_db_notice_clone): Declare.
* thread-db.c (thread_db_notice_clone): New function.
