Pedro Alves 8228463cbc PR remote/18965: vforkdone stop reply should indicate parent PID
The vforkdone stop reply misses indicating the thread ID of the vfork
parent which the event relates to:

 @cindex vfork events, remote reply
 @item vfork
 The packet indicates that @code{vfork} was called, and @var{r}
 is the thread ID of the new child process. Refer to
 @ref{thread-id syntax} for the format of the @var{thread-id}
 field.  This packet is only applicable to targets that support
 vfork events.

 @cindex vforkdone events, remote reply
 @item vforkdone
 The packet indicates that a child process created by a vfork
 has either called @code{exec} or terminated, so that the
 address spaces of the parent and child process are no longer
 shared. The @var{r} part is ignored.  This packet is only
 applicable to targets that support vforkdone events.

Unfortunately, this is not just a documentation issue.  GDBserver
is really not specifying the thread ID.  I noticed because
in non-stop mode, gdb complains:

 [Thread 6089.6089] #1 stopped.
 #0  0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()
 0x0000003615a011f0 in ?? ()

 (gdb) c
 Continuing.

This is not non-stop-mode-specific, however.  Consider e.g., that in
all-stop, you may be debugging more than one process at the same time.
You continue, and both processes vfork.  So when you next get a
T05vforkdone, there's no way to tell which of the parent processes is
done with the vfork.

Tests will be added later.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
