commit 26d6cec4a9291f154e549fb6f4318ace6cfaa2a5
Author: Andreas Arnez <arnez@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Make "info proc cmdline" show args on GNU/Linux
Currently "info proc cmdline" on GNU/Linux does not show the full command
line, but only argument 0. And even a warning is shown if there are more.
This was discussed in 2014 already:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-04/msg00212.html
Follow the advice there and avoid target_fileio_read_stralloc. Instead,
use target_fileio_read_alloc to read the whole command line and then
replace NUL characters by spaces. Also add an appropriate test case.
Note that gdbserver already handles this correctly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linux-tdep.c (linux_info_proc): For "info proc cmdline", print
command line args instead of emitting a warning.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/info-proc.exp: Add test for "info proc cmdline".
