This is a preparatory patch to reduce the size of the diff of the
upcoming main patch. It introduces enum types for the return values of
displaced step "prepare" and "finish" operations. I find that this
expresses better the intention of the code, rather than returning
arbitrary integer values (-1, 0 and 1) which are difficult to remember.
That makes the code easier to read.
I put the new enum types in a new displaced-stepping.h file, because I
introduce that file in a later patch anyway. Putting it there avoids
having to move it later.
There is one change in behavior for displaced_step_finish: it currently
returns 0 if the thread wasn't doing a displaced step and 1 if the
thread was doing a displaced step which was executed successfully. It
turns out that this distinction is not needed by any caller, so I've
merged these two cases into "_OK", rather than adding an extra
enumerator.

* infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare_throw): Change return type to
displaced_step_prepare_status.

This is a preparatory patch to reduce a little bit the diff size of the
main patch later in this series. It renames the displaced_step_fixup
function in infrun.c to displaced_step_finish.
The rationale is to better differentiate the low and high level
operations.
We first have the low level operation of writing an instruction to a
displaced buffer, called "copy_insn". The mirror low level operation to
fix up the state after having executed the instruction is "fixup". The
high level operation of preparing a thread for a displaced step (which
includes doing the "copy_insn" and some more bookkeeping) is called
"prepare" (as in displaced_step_prepare). The mirror high level
operation to cleaning up after a displaced step (which includes doing
the "fixup" and some more bookkeeping) is currently also called "fixup"
(as in displaced_step_fixup), just like the low level operation.
I think that choosing a different name for the low and high level
cleanup operation makes it clearer, hence "finish".
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (displaced_step_fixup): Rename to...
(displaced_step_finish): ... this, update all callers.

Rename step_over_queue_head to global_thread_step_over_chain_head, to
make it more obvious when reading code that we are touching the global
queue. Rename all functions that operate on it to have "global" in
their name, to make it clear on which chain they operate on. Also, in a
subsequent patch, we'll need both global and non-global versions of
these functions, so it will be easier to do the distinction if they are
named properly.
Normalize the naming to use "chain" everywhere instead of sometimes
"queue", sometimes "chain".
I also reworded a few comments in gdbthread.h. They implied that the
step over chain is per-inferior, when in reality there is only one
global chain, not one per inferior, as far as I understand.

Remove function get_displaced_stepping_state. When it was introduced,
inferiors' displaced stepping state was kept in a linked list in
infrun.c, so it was handy. Nowadays, the state is kept inside struct
inferior directly, so we can just access it directly instead.

In handle_inferior_event, where we handle forks, we make sure to restore
the bytes of the displaced stepping buffer in the child's address
space. However, we only do it when the forking thread was the one
doing a displaced step. It could happen that a thread forks while
another one is doing a displaced step. In this case, we also need to
restore the bytes in the child.
Move the byte-restoring code outside of the condition that checks
whether the event thread was displaced stepping.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Restore displaced step
buffer bytes in child process when handling fork, even if fork
happened in another thread than the displaced-stepping one.

When a process does an exec, all its program space is replaced with the
newly loaded executable. All non-main threads disappear and the main
thread starts executing at the entry point of the new executable.
Things can go wrong if a displaced step operation is in progress while
we process the exec event.
If the main thread is the one executing the displaced step: when that
thread (now executing in the new executable) stops somewhere (say, at a
breakpoint), displaced_step_fixup will run and clear up the state. We
will execute the "fixup" phase for the instruction we single-stepped in
the old program space. We are now in a completely different context,
so doing the fixup may corrupt the state.
If it is a non-main thread that is doing the displaced step: while
handling the exec event, GDB deletes the thread_info representing that
thread (since the thread doesn't exist in the inferior after the exec).
But inferior::displaced_step_state::step_thread will still point to it.
When handling events later, this condition, in displaced_step_fixup,
will likely never be true:
/* Was this event for the thread we displaced? */
if (displaced->step_thread != event_thread)
return 0;
... since displaced->step_thread points to a deleted thread (unless that
storage gets re-used for a new thread_info, but that wouldn't be good
either). This effectively makes the displaced stepping buffer occupied
for ever. When a thread in the new program space will want to do a
displaced step, it will wait for ever.
I think we simply need to reset the displaced stepping state of the
inferior on exec. Everything execution-related that existed before the
exec is now gone.
Similarly, if a thread does an in-line step over an exec syscall
instruction, nothing clears the in-line step over info when the event is
handled. So it the in-line step over info stays there indefinitely, and
things hang because we can never start another step over. To fix this,
I added a call to clear_step_over_info in infrun_inferior_execd.
Add a test with a program with two threads that does an exec. The test
includes the following axes:
- whether it's the leader thread or the other thread that does the exec.
- whether the exec'r and exec'd program have different text segment
addresses. This is to hopefully catch cases where the displaced
stepping info doesn't get reset, and GDB later tries to restore bytes
of the old address space in the new address space. If the mapped
addresses are different, we should get some memory error. This
happens without the patch applied:

To be able to precisely put a breakpoint on the syscall instruction, I
added a small assembly file (lib/my-syscalls.S) that contains minimal
Linux syscall wrappers. I prefer that to the strategy used in
gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp, which is to stepi into the glibc wrapper
until we find something that looks like a syscall instruction, I find
that more predictable.

Having pagination enabled when handling an inferior event gives the
user an option to quit, which causes early exit in GDB's flow and may
lead to half-baked state. For instance, here is a case where we quit
in the middle of handling an inferior exit:
$ gdb ./a.out
Reading symbols from ./a.out...
(gdb) set height 2
(gdb) run
Starting program: ./a.out
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--q

Or suppose having a multi-threaded program like below:

return NULL;
}

main (void)
{
pthread_t thread;
pthread_create (&thread, NULL, fun, NULL);
pthread_join (thread, NULL);
return 0;
}
If we define a breakpoint at line "break-here", we expect only Thread
2 to hit it.
$ gdb ./a.out

The prompt for continuation was triggered because Thread 2 hit the
breakpoint. (If we had hit 'c', we were going to see that stop event,
but we didn't.) The context did not switch to Thread 2. GDB also did
not execute several other things it would normally do in
infrun.c:normal_stop after outputting "[Switching to Thread ...]" (but
it seems harmless in this case). If we 'continue' at this state, both
threads run until termination, and we don't see the breakpoint hit
event ever.
Here is another related and more complicated scenario that leads to a
GDB crash. Create two inferiors, one sitting on top of a native
target, and the other on a remote target, so that we have a
multi-target setting, like so:
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 process 13786 1 (native) a.out
* 2 process 13806 2 (remote ...) target:a.out
Next, resume both inferiors to run until termination:
(gdb) set schedule-multiple on
(gdb) set height 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--[Inferior 2 (process 13806) exited normally]
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'gdb_exception_error'
Aborted
Here, GDB first received a termination event from Inferior 1. GDB
attempted to print this event, triggering a "prompt for continue", and
GDB started polling for events, hoping to get an input from the user.
However, the exit event from Inferior 2 was received instead. So, GDB
started processing an exit event while being in the middle of
processing another exit event. It was not ready for this situation
and eventually crashed.
To address these cases, temporarily disable pagination in
fetch_inferior_event. This doesn't affect commands like 'info
threads', 'backtrace', or 'thread apply'.
Regression-tested on X86_64 Linux.

If the remote target closes while we're reading registers/memory for
restoring the selected frame in scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor,
the corresponding TARGET_CLOSE_ERROR error is swallowed by the
scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor, because letting exceptions
escape from a dtor is bad. It isn't great to lose that errors like
that, though. I've been thinking about how to avoid it, and I came up
with this patch.
The idea here is to make scoped_restore_current_thread's dtor do as
little as possible, to avoid any work that might throw in the first
place. And to do that, instead of having the dtor call
restore_selected_frame, which re-finds the previously selected frame,
just record the frame_id/level of the desired selected frame, and have
get_selected_frame find the frame the next time it is called. In
effect, this implements most of Cagney's suggestion, here:
/* On demand, create the selected frame and then return it. If the
selected frame can not be created, this function prints then throws
an error. When MESSAGE is non-NULL, use it for the error message,
otherwize use a generic error message. */
/* FIXME: cagney/2002-11-28: At present, when there is no selected
frame, this function always returns the current (inner most) frame.
It should instead, when a thread has previously had its frame
selected (but not resumed) and the frame cache invalidated, find
and then return that thread's previously selected frame. */
extern struct frame_info *get_selected_frame (const char *message);
The only thing missing to fully implement that would be to make
reinit_frame_cache just clear selected_frame instead of calling
select_frame(NULL), and the call select_frame(NULL) explicitly in the
places where we really wanted reinit_frame_cache to go back to the
current frame too. That can done separately, though, I'm not
proposing to do that in this patch.
Note that this patch renames restore_selected_frame to
lookup_selected_frame, and adds a new restore_selected_frame function
that doesn't throw, to be paired with the also-new save_selected_frame
function.
There's a restore_selected_frame function in infrun.c that I think can
be replaced by the new one in frame.c.
Also done in this patch is make the get_selected_frame's parameter be
optional, so that we don't have to pass down nullptr explicitly all
over the place.
lookup_selected_frame should really move from thread.c to frame.c, but
I didn't do that here, just to avoid churn in the patch while it
collects comments. I did make it extern and declared it in frame.h
already, preparing for the move. I will do the move as a follow up
patch if people agree with this approach.
Incidentally, this patch alone would fix the crashes fixed by the
previous patches in the series, because with this,
scoped_restore_current_thread's constructor doesn't throw either.

Debugging with "maintenance set target-async off" on Linux has been
broken since 5b6d1e4fa4 ("Multi-target support").
The issue is easy to reproduce:
$ ./gdb -q --data-directory=data-directory -nx ./test
Reading symbols from ./test...
(gdb) maintenance set target-async off
(gdb) start
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1151: file test.c, line 5.
Starting program: /home/simark/build/binutils-gdb/gdb/test
... and it hangs there.
The difference between pre-5b6d1e4fa4f and 5b6d1e4fa4 is that
fetch_inferior_event now calls target_wait with TARGET_WNOHANG for
non-async-capable targets, whereas it didn't before.
For non-async-capable targets, this is how it's expected to work when
resuming execution:
1. we call resume
2. the infrun async handler is marked in prepare_to_wait, to immediately
wake up the event loop when we get back to it
3. fetch_inferior_event calls the target's wait method without
TARGET_WNOHANG, effectively blocking until the target has something
to report
However, since we call the target's wait method with TARGET_WNOHANG,
this happens:
1. we call resume
2. the infrun async handler is marked in prepare_to_wait, to immediately
wake up the event loop when we get back to it
3. fetch_inferior_event calls the target's wait method with
TARGET_WNOHANG, the target has nothing to report yet
4. we go back to blocking on the event loop
5. SIGCHLD finally arrives, but the event loop is not woken up, because
we are not in async mode. Normally, we should have been stuck in
waitpid the SIGCHLD would have unblocked us.
We end up in this situation because these two necessary conditions are
met:
1. GDB uses the TARGET_WNOHANG option with a target that can't do async.
I don't think this makes sense. I mean, it's technically possible,
the doc for TARGET_WNOHANG is:
/* Return immediately if there's no event already queued. If this
options is not requested, target_wait blocks waiting for an
event. */
TARGET_WNOHANG = 1,
... which isn't in itself necessarily incompatible with synchronous
targets. It could be possible for a target to support non-blocking
polls, while not having a way to asynchronously wake up the event
loop, which is also necessary to support async. But as of today,
we don't expect GDB and sync targets to work this way.
2. The linux-nat target, even in the mode where it emulates a
synchronous target (with "maintenance set target-async off") respects
TARGET_WNOHANG. Other non-async targets, such as windows_nat_target,
simply don't check / support TARGET_WNOHANG, so their wait method is
always blocking.
Fix the first issue by avoiding using TARGET_WNOHANG on non-async
targets, in do_target_wait_1. Add an assert in target_wait to verify it
doesn't happen.
The new test gdb.base/maint-target-async-off.exp is a simple test that
just tries running to main and then to the end of the program, with
"maintenance set target-async off".

Introduce this macro to print debug statements in the infrun.c file,
same idea as what was done in 9327494e0e ("gdb: add

Although in this case, there are places outside infrun.c that print
debug statements if debug_infrun is set. So the macro has to be
declared in the header file, so that it can be used in these other
files.
Note one special case. In stop_all_threads, I've used an explicit

for the message in the SCOPE_EXIT. Otherwise, the message appears like
this:

I noticed what I think is a potential bug. I did not observe it nor was
I able to reproduce it using actual debugging. It's quite unlikely,
because it involves multi-target and ptid clashes. I added selftests
that demonstrate it though.
The thread_ptid_changed observer says that thread with OLD_PTID now has
NEW_PTID. Now, if for some reason we happen to have two targets
defining a thread with OLD_PTID, the observers don't know which thread
this is about.
regcache::regcache_thread_ptid_changed changes all regcaches with
OLD_PTID. If there is a regcache for a thread with ptid OLD_PTID, but
that belongs to a different target, this regcache will be erroneously
changed.
Similarly, infrun_thread_ptid_changed updates inferior_ptid if
inferior_ptid matches OLD_PTID. But if inferior_ptid currently refers
not to the thread is being changed, but to a thread with the same ptid
belonging to a different target, then inferior_ptid will erroneously be
changed.
This patch adds a `process_stratum_target *` parameter to the
`thread_ptid_changed` observable and makes the two observers use it.
Tests for both are added, which would fail if the corresponding fix
wasn't done.

When interrupting a program in non-stop, the program gets interrupted
correctly, but GDB busy loops (the event loop is always woken up).
Here is how to reproduce it:
1. Start GDB: ./gdb -nx --data-directory=data-directory -ex "set non-stop 1" --args /bin/sleep 60
2. Run the program with "run"
3. Interrupt with ^C.
4. Look into htop, see GDB taking 100% CPU
Debugging `handle_file_event`, we see that the event source that wakes
up the event loop is the linux-nat one:
(top-gdb) p file_ptr.proc
$5 = (handler_func *) 0xb9cccd <handle_target_event(int, gdb_client_data)>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
\-- the linux-nat callback
Debugging fetch_inferior_event and do_target_wait, we see that we
don't actually call `wait` on the linux-nat target, because
inferior_matches returns false:
auto inferior_matches = [&wait_ptid] (inferior *inf)
{
return (inf->process_target () != NULL
&& (threads_are_executing (inf->process_target ())
|| threads_are_resumed_pending_p (inf))
&& ptid_t (inf->pid).matches (wait_ptid));
};
because `threads_are_executing` is false.
What happens is:
1. User types ctrl-c, that writes in the linux-nat pipe, waking up
the event source.
2. linux-nat's wait gets called, the SIGINT event is returned, but
before returning, it marks the pipe again, in order for wait to
get called again:
/* If we requested any event, and something came out, assume there
may be more. If we requested a specific lwp or process, also
assume there may be more. */
if (target_is_async_p ()
&& ((ourstatus->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE
&& ourstatus->kind != TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED)
|| ptid != minus_one_ptid))
async_file_mark ();
3. The SIGINT event is handled, the program is stopped, the stop
notification is printed.
4. The event loop is woken up again because of the `async_file_mark`
of step 2.
5. Because `inferior_matches` returns false, we never call
linux-nat's wait, so the pipe stays readable.
6. Goto 4.
Pedro says:
This commit fixes it by letting do_target_wait call target_wait even
if threads_are_executing is false. This will normally result in the
target returning TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, and _not_ marking its
event source again. This results in infrun only calling into the
target only once (i.e., breaking the busy loop).
Note that the busy loop bug didn't trigger in all-stop mode because
all-stop handles this by unregistering the target from the event loop
as soon as it was all stopped -- see
inf-loop.c:inferior_event_handler's INF_EXEC_COMPLETE handling. If we
remove that non-stop check from inferior_event_handler, and replace
the target_has_execution check for threads_are_executing instead, it
also fixes the issue for non-stop. I considered that as the final
solution, but decided that the solution proposed here instead is just
simpler and more future-proof design. With the
TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED handling fixes done in the previous
patches, I think it should be possible to always keep the target
registered in the event loop, meaning we could eliminate the
target_async(0) call from inferior_event_handler as well as most of
the target_async(1) calls in the target backends. That would allow in
the future e.g., the remote target reporting asynchronous
notifications even if all threads are stopped. I haven't attempted
that, though.

threads_are_resumed_pending_p checks from the inferior_matches
lambda. Update comments.
Let's consider the same use case as in the previous commit:
Say you have two inferiors 1 and 2, each connected to a different
target, A and B.
Now say you set inferior 2 running, with "continue &".
Now you select a thread of inferior 1, say thread 1.2, and continue in
the foreground. All other threads of inferior 1 are left stopped.
Thread 1.2 exits, and thus target A has no other resumed thread, so it
reports TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED.
At this point, because the threads of inferior 2 are still executing
the TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED event is ignored.
Now, the user types Ctrl-C. Because GDB had previously put inferior 1
in the foreground, the kernel sends the SIGINT to that inferior.
However, no thread in that inferior is executing right now, so ptrace
never intercepts the SIGINT -- it is never dequeued by any thread.
The result is that GDB's CLI is stuck. There's no way to get back the
prompt (unless inferior 2 happens to report some event).
The fix in this commit is to make handle_no_resumed give the terminal
to some other inferior that still has threads executing so that a
subsequent Ctrl-C reaches that target first (and then GDB intercepts
the SIGINT). This is a bit hacky, but seems like the best we can do
with the current design.
I think that putting all native inferiors in their own session would
help fixing this in a clean way, since with that a Ctrl-C on GDB's
terminal will _always_ reach GDB first, and then GDB can decide how to
pause the inferior. But that's a much larger change.
The testcase added by the following patch needs this fix.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/26199
* infrun.c (handle_no_resumed): Transfer terminal to inferior with
executing threads.
handle_no_resumed is currently not considering multiple targets.
Say you have two inferiors 1 and 2, each connected to a different
target, A and B.
Now say you set inferior 2 running, with "continue &".
Now you select a thread of inferior 1, say thread 1.2, and continue in
the foreground. All other threads of inferior 1 are left stopped.
Thread 1.2 exits, and thus target A has no other resumed thread, so it
reports TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED.
At this point, if both inferiors were running in the same target,
handle_no_resumed would realize that threads of inferior 2 are still
executing, so the TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED event should be ignored.
But because handle_no_resumed only walks the threads of the current
target, it misses noticing that threads of inferior 2 are still
executing. The fix is just to walk over all threads of all targets.
A testcase covering the use case above will be added in a following
patch. It can't be added yet because it depends on yet another fix to
handle_no_resumed not included here.
gdb/ChangeLog:
PR gdb/26199
* infrun.c (handle_no_resumed): Handle multiple targets.
If we hit the synchronous execution command case described by
handle_no_resumed, and handle_no_resumed determines that the event
should be ignored, because it found a thread that is executing, we end
up in prepare_to_wait.
There, if the current target is not registered in the event loop right
now, we call mark_infrun_async_event_handler. With that event handler
marked, the event loop calls again into fetch_inferior_event, which
calls target_wait, which returns TARGET_WAITKIND_NO_RESUMED, and we
end up in handle_no_resumed, again ignoring the event and marking
infrun_async_event_handler. The result is that GDB is now always
keeping the CPU 100% busy in this loop, even though it continues to be
able to react to input and to real target events, because we still go
through the event-loop.
The problem is that marking of the infrun_async_event_handler in
prepare_to_wait. That is there to handle targets that don't support
asynchronous execution. So the correct predicate is whether async
execution is supported, not whether the target is async right now.

[Simon: I send this patch on behalf of Laurent Morichetti, I added the
commit message and performance measurement stuff.
Also, this patch is better viewed with "git show -w".]
stop_all_threads, in infrun.c, is used to stop all running threads on
targets that are always non-stop. It's used, for example, when the
program hits a breakpoint while GDB is set to "non-stop off". It sends
a stop request for each running thread, then collects one wait event for
each.
Since new threads can spawn while we are stopping the threads, it's
written in a way where it makes multiple such "send stop requests to
running threads & collect wait events" passes. The function completes
when it has made two passes where it hasn't seen any running threads.
With the way it's written right now is, it iterates on the thread list,
sending a stop request for each running thread. It then waits for a
single event, after which it iterates through the thread list again. It
sends stop requests for any running threads that's been created since
the last iteration. It then consumes another single wait event.
This makes it so we iterate on O(n^2) threads in total, where n is the
number of threads. This patch changes the function to reduce it to
O(n). This starts to have an impact when dealing with multiple
thousands of threads (see numbers below). At each pass, we know the
number of outstanding stop requests we have sent, for which we need to
collect a stop event. We can therefore loop to collect this many stop
events before proceeding to the next pass and iterate on the thread list
again.
To check the performance improvements with this patch, I made an
x86/Linux program with a large number of idle threads (varying from 1000
to 10000). The program's main thread hits a breakpoint once all these
threads have started, which causes stop_all_threads to be called to stop
all these threads. I measured (by patching stop_all_threads):
- the execution time of stop_all_threads
- the total number of threads we iterate on during the complete
execution of the function (the total number of times we execute the
"for (thread_info *t : all_non_exited_threads ())" loop)
These are the execution times, in milliseconds:
# threads before after
1000 226 106
2000 997 919
3000 3461 2323
4000 4330 3570
5000 8642 6600
6000 9918 8039
7000 12662 10930
8000 16652 11222
9000 21561 15875
10000 26613 20019
Note that I very unscientifically executed each case only once.
These are the number of loop executions:
# threads before after
1000 1003002 3003
2000 4006002 6003
3000 9009002 9003

* infrun.c (stop_all_threads): Collect multiple wait events at

In stop_all_threads, GDB sends signals to other threads in an attempt
to stop them. While in a typical scenario the expected wait status is
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED, it is possible that the thread GDB attempted
to stop has already terminated. If so, a waitstatus other than
TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED would be received. Handle this case
appropriately.
If a wait status that denotes thread termination is ignored, GDB goes
into an infinite loop in stop_all_threads.

When a process exits and we leave the process exit event pending, we
need to make sure that at least one thread is left listed in the
inferior's thread list. This is necessary in order to make sure we
have a thread that we can later resume, so the process exit event can
be collected/reported.
When native debugging, the GNU/Linux back end already makes sure that
the last LWP isn't deleted.
When remote debugging against GNU/Linux GDBserver, the GNU/Linux
GDBserver backend also makes sure that the last thread isn't deleted
until the process exit event is reported to GDBserver core.
However, between the backend reporting the process exit event to
GDBserver core, and GDB consuming the event, GDB may update the thread
list and find no thread left in the process. The process exit event
will be pending somewhere in GDBserver's stop reply queue, or
gdb/remote.c's queue, or whathever other event queue inbetween
GDBserver and infrun.c's handle_inferior_event.
This patch tweaks remote.c's target_update_thread_list implementation
to avoid deleting the last thread of an inferior.
In the past, this case of inferior-with-no-threads led to a special
case at the bottom of handle_no_resumed, where it reads:
/* Note however that we may find no resumed thread because the whole
process exited meanwhile (thus updating the thread list results
in an empty thread list). In this case we know we'll be getting
a process exit event shortly. */
for (inferior *inf : all_non_exited_inferiors (ecs->target))
In current master, that code path is still reachable with the
gdb.threads/continue-pending-after-query.exp testcase, when tested
against GDBserver, with "maint set target-non-stop" forced "on".
With this patch, the scenario that loop was concerned about is still
properly handled, because the loop above it finds the process's last
thread with "executing" set to true, and thus the handle_no_resumed
function still returns true.
Since GNU/Linux native and remote are the only targets that support
non-stop mode, and with this patch, we always make sure the inferior
has at least one thread, this patch also removes that "inferior with
no threads" special case handling from handle_no_resumed.
Since remote.c now has a special case where we treat a thread that has
already exited as if it was still alive, we might need to tweak
remote.c's target_thread_alive implementation to return true for that
thread without querying the remote side (which would say "no, not
alive"). After inspecting all the target_thread_alive calls in the
codebase, it seems that only the one from prune_threads could result
in that thread being accidentally deleted. There's only one call to
prune_threads in GDB's common code, so this patch handles this by
replacing the prune_threads call with a delete_exited_threads call.
This seems like an improvement anyway, because we'll still be doing
what the comment suggests we want to do, and, we avoid remote protocol
traffic.
Regression-tested on X86_64 Linux.

In stop_all_threads, the thread events of the current top target are
enabled at the beginning of the function and then disabled at the end
(at scope exit time). Because there may be multiple targets whose
thread lists will be updated and whose threads are stopped,
enable/disable thread events for all targets.
This update caused a change in the annotations. In particular, a
"frames-invalid" annotation is printed one more time due to switching
the current inferior. Hence, gdb.base/annota1.exp and
gdb.cp/annota2.exp tests are also updated.
Regression-tested on X86_64 Linux using the default board file and the
native-extended-gdbserver board file.

This is a refactoring. The extracted function is placed deliberately
before 'stop_all_threads' because the function will be re-used there
in a subsequent patch for handling an exit status kind received from
a thread that GDB attempted to stop.
