Pedro Alves ced2dffbf1 Fix failure to detach if process exits while detaching on Linux
This commit fixes detaching on Linux when some thread exits the whole
thread group (process) just while we're detaching.

On Linux, a ptracer must detach from each LWP individually, with
PTRACE_DETACH.  Since PTRACE_DETACH sets the thread running free, if
one of the already-detached threads causes the whole thread group to
exit (e.g., simply calls exit), the kernel force-kills the other
threads in the group, making them zombie, just as we're still
detaching them.  Since PTRACE_DETACH against a zombie thread fails
with ESRCH, and gdb/gdbserver are not expecting this, the detach fails
with an error like: "Can't detach process: No such process.".

This patch detects this detach failure as normal, and instead of
erroring out, reaps the now-dead thread.

New test included, that exercises several different scenarios that
cause GDB/GDBserver to error out when it should not.

Tested on x86-64 GNU/Linux with {unix, native-gdbserver,
native-extended-gdbserver}

Note: without the previous fix, the "single-process + continue"
variant of the new test would fail with:

 (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: switch to parent
 continue
 Continuing.
 Warning:
 Could not insert hardware watchpoint 3.
 Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
 You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.

 Command aborted.
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp: single-process: continue: watchpoint: continue

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2016-07-01  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
	    Antoine Tremblay  <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com>

	* linux-low.c: Change interface to take the target lwp_info
	pointer directly and return void.  Handle detaching from a zombie
	thread.
	(linux_detach_lwp_callback): New function.
	(linux_detach): Detach from the leader thread after detaching from
	the clone threads.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-07-01  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
	    Antoine Tremblay  <antoine.tremblay@ericsson.com>

	* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_detach_success): New function, factored
	out from ...
	(inf_ptrace_detach): ... here.
	* inf-ptrace.h (inf_ptrace_detach_success): New declaration.
	* linux-nat.c (get_pending_status): Rename to ...
	(get_detach_signal): ... this, and return a host signal instead of
	filling in a wait status.
	(detach_one_lwp): New function, factored out from detach_callback
	and adjusted to handle detaching from a zombie thread.
	(detach_callback): Skip the leader thread.
	(linux_nat_detach): No longer defer to inf_ptrace_detach to detach
	the leader thread, nor build a signal string to pass down.
	Instead, use target_announce_detach, detach_one_lwp and
	inf_ptrace_detach_success.
