SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Store our current register values back into the inferior. If
REGNO is -1 then store all the register, otherwise store just
the value specified by REGNO.
NOTES
If we are storing only a single register, we first have to get all
the current values from the process, overwrite the desired register
in the gregset with the one we want from gdb's registers, and then
send the whole set back to the process. For writing all the
registers, all we have to do is generate the gregset and send it to
the process.
Also note that the process has to be stopped on an event of interest
for this to work, which basically means that it has to have been
run under the control of one of the other /proc ioctl calls and not
ptrace. Since we don't use ptrace anyway, we don't worry about this
fine point, but it is worth noting for future reference.
Gdb is confused about what this function is supposed to return.
Some versions return a value, others return nothing. Some are
declared to return a value and actually return nothing. Gdb ignores
anything returned. (FIXME)

GLOBAL FUNCTION
proc_wait -- emulate wait() as much as possible
SYNOPSIS
int proc_wait (int *statloc)
DESCRIPTION
Try to emulate wait() as much as possible. Not sure why we can't
just use wait(), but it seems to have problems when applied to a
process being controlled with the /proc interface.
NOTES
We have a race problem here with no obvious solution. We need to let
the inferior run until it stops on an event of interest, which means
that we need to use the PIOCWSTOP ioctl. However, we cannot use this
ioctl if the process is already stopped on something that is not an
event of interest, or the call will hang indefinitely. Thus we first
use PIOCSTATUS to see if the process is not stopped. If not, then we
use PIOCWSTOP. But during the window between the two, if the process
stops for any reason that is not an event of interest (such as a job
control signal) then gdb will hang. One possible workaround is to set
an alarm to wake up every minute of so and check to see if the process
is still running, and if so, then reissue the PIOCWSTOP. But this is
a real kludge, so has not been implemented. FIXME: investigate
alternatives.
