readline turns out to be a bit of a stumbling block for the project to
move gdbsupport (and then gdbserver) to the top-level.
The issue is that readline headers are intended to be included with
names like "readline/readline.h". To support this, gdb effectively
adds a -I option pointing to the top-level source directory -- but,
importantly, this option is not used when the system readline is used.
For gdbsupport, a -I option like this would always be needed, but that
in turn would break the system readline case. This was PR build/17077,
fixed in commit a8a5dbcab8df0b3a9e04745d4fe8d64740acb323.
Previously, we had discussed this on the gdb-patches list in terms of
removing readline from the tree
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00317.html
However, Eli expressed some concerns, and Joel did as well (off-list).
Given those concerns, and the fact that a patch-free local readline is
relatively new in gdb (it was locally patched for years), I changed my
mind and decided to handle this situation by moving the readline
sources down a level.
That is, upstream readline is now in readline/readline, and the
top-level readline directory just contains the minimal configury
needed to build that.
This fixes the problem because, when gdb unconditionally adds a
-I$(top_srcdir), this will not find readline headers. A separate -I
will be needed instead, which is exactly what's needed for
--with-system-readline.

This imports readline 7.0 (up to patch 5) while preserving all
gdb-local changes.
This was done by checking out the readline git repository, making a
branch based on the gdb baseline revision, applying the gdb changes to
that branch, and then merging from readline 7.

This reverts commit b558ff043d41ba8d17a82f5f9ae5f9dade66160e.
This reverts commit 4a11f2065906976675808364ddbd1c0f77eea41f.
The initial import commit failed to retain local changes made to
readline's configure.in (and the commit message erroneously stated that
there were no local changes that needed to be reapplied). Also the
import caused a couple of build errors and a scattering of testsuite
regressions throughout many arches. It's probably better to start over
with this import, hopefully more carefully next time.

This patch syncs our upstream copy of readline from version 6.2 to the
latest version, 7.0 alpha (released July 10 2015).
I essentially copied what was done the last time readline was synced,
when Jan updated to readline 6.2 in 2011:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-05/msg00003.html
Procedure:
1. I extracted the readline-7.0-alpha tarball on top of readline/.
2. I deleted all the new files under doc/ that were deliberately omitted
before.
3. I regenerated readline/configure and readline/examples/rlfe/configure
using autoconf 2.64. No other configure files need regenerating.
4. I updated the function gdb_printable_part in completer.c with a
trivial change made to the readline function it is based off of,
printable_part in readline/complete.c. There is more work to be done in
completer.c to sync it with readline/complete.c, but it is non-trivial
and should probably be done separately anyway.
Local patches that had to be reapplied:
None. readline 7.0 alpha contains all of our local readline
patches.
New files in readline/:
colors.{c,h}
examples/{hist_erasedups,hist_purgecmd,rl-callbacktest,rlbasic}.c
parse-colors.{c,h}
readline.pc.in
configure.ac
Deleted files in readline/:
configure.in
Regressions:
After the sync there is one testsuite regression, the test
"signal SIGINT" in gdb.gdb/selftest.exp which now FAILs. Previously,
the readline 6.2 SIGINT handler would temporarily reinstall the
underlying application's SIGINT handler and immediately re-raise SIGINT
so that the orginal handler gets invoked. But now (since readline 6.3)
its SIGINT handler does not re-raise SIGINT or directly invoke the
original handler; it now sets a flag marking that SIGINT was raised, and
waits until readline explicitly has control to call the application's
SIGINT handler. Anyway, because SIGINT is no longer re-raised from
within readline's SIGINT handler, doing "signal SIGINT" with a stopped
inferior gdb process will no longer resume and then immediately stop the
process (since there is no 2nd SIGINT to immediately catch). Instead,
the inferior gdb process will now just print "Quit" and continue to run.
So with this commit, this particular test case is adjusted to reflect
this change in behavior (we now have to send a 2nd SIGINT manually to
stop it).
Aside from this one testsuite regression, I personally noticed no
regression in user-visible behavior. Though I only tested on x86_64
and on i686 Debian Stretch.
Getting this kind of change in at the start of the GDB 7.11 development
cycle will allow us to get a lot of passive testing from developers and
from bleeding-edge users.

being resumed with "signal SIGINT".
