Fix PR threads/19354: "info threads" error with multiple inferiors
Note: this applies on top of: [PATCH] Remove support for LinuxThreads and vendor 2.4 kernels w/ backported NPTL https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-12/msg00214.html We try to avoid using libthread_db.so to list threads in the inferior when debugging live processes, but the code that decides whether to use it decides incorrectly if you have more than one inferior, and the current inferior doesn't have execution yet. The result is visible as: (gdb) add-inferior Added inferior 2 (gdb) inferior 2 [Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)] (gdb) info inferiors Num Description Executable 1 process 15397 /home/pedro/gdb/tests/threads * 2 <null> (gdb) info threads Cannot find new threads: generic error (gdb) Fix this by checking whether each inferior has execution rather than just the current inferior. By moving the core updating to linux-nat.c's update_thread_list implementation, this also ends up fixing the lwp-last-seen-running-on-core updating in the case we're debugging a program that uses raw clone rather than pthreads, as linux-thread-db.c isn't pushed in the target stack in that scenario. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-12-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR threads/19354 * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_update_thread_list): Update process cores each lwp was last seen running on here. * linux-thread-db.c (update_thread_core): Delete.
