[binutils-gdb] Per-inferior target_terminal state, fix PR gdb/13211, more

Per-inferior target_terminal state, fix PR gdb/13211, more

In my multi-target branch I ran into problems with GDB's terminal
handling that exist in master as well, with multi-inferior debugging.

This patch adds a testcase for said problems
(gdb.multi/multi-term-settings.exp), fixes the problems, fixes PR
gdb/13211 as well (and adds a testcase for that too,
gdb.base/interrupt-daemon.exp).

The basis of the problem I ran into is the following.  Consider a
scenario where you have:

 - inferior 1 - started with "attach", process is running on some
   other terminal.

 - inferior 2 - started with "run", process is sharing gdb's terminal.

In this scenario, when you stop/resume both inferiors, you want GDB to
save/restore the terminal settings of inferior 2, the one that is
sharing GDB's terminal.  I.e., you want inferior 2 to "own" the
terminal (in target_terminal::is_ours/target_terminal::is_inferior
sense).

Unfortunately, that's not what you get currently.  Because GDB doesn't
know whether an attached inferior is actually sharing GDB's terminal,
it tries to save/restore its settings anyway, ignoring errors.  In
this case, this is pointless, because inferior 1 is running on a
different terminal, but GDB doesn't know better.

And then, because it is only possible to have the terminal settings of
a single inferior be in effect at a time, or make one inferior/pgrp be
the terminal's foreground pgrp (aka, only one inferior can "own" the
terminal, ignoring fork children here), if GDB happens to try to
restore the terminal settings of inferior 1 first, then GDB never
restores the terminal settings of inferior 2.

This patch fixes that and a few things more along the way:

 - Moves enum target_terminal::terminal_state out of the
   target_terminal class (it's currently private) and makes it a
   scoped enum so that it can be easily used elsewhere.

 - Replaces the inflow.c:terminal_is_ours boolean with a
   target_terminal_state variable.  This allows distinguishing is_ours
   and is_ours_for_output states.  This allows finally making
   child_terminal_ours_1 do something with its "output_only"
   parameter.

 - Makes each inferior have its own copy of the
   is_ours/is_ours_for_output/is_inferior state.

 - Adds a way for GDB to tell whether the inferior is sharing GDB's
   terminal.  Works best on Linux and Solaris; the fallback works just
   as well as currently.

 - With that, we can remove the inf->attach_flag tests from
   child_terminal_inferior/child_terminal_ours.

 - Currently target_ops.to_ours is responsible for both saving the
   current inferior's terminal state, and restoring gdb's state.
   Because each inferior has its own terminal state (possibly handled
   by different targets in a multi-target world, even), we need to
   split the inferior-saving part from the gdb-restoring part.  The
   patch adds a new target_ops.to_save_inferior target method for
   that.

 - Adds a new target_terminal::save_inferior() function, so that
   sequences like:

     scoped_restore_terminal_state save_state;
     target_terminal::ours_for_output ();

   ... restore back inferiors that were
   target_terminal_state::is_inferior before back to is_inferior, and
   leaves inferiors that were is_ours alone.

 - Along the way, this adds a default implementation of
   target_pass_ctrlc to inflow.c (for inf-child.c), that handles
   passing the Ctrl-C to a process running on GDB's terminal or to
   some other process otherwise.

 - Similarly, adds a new target default implementation of
   target_interrupt, for the "interrupt" command.  The current
   implementation of this hook in inf-ptrace.c kills the whole process
   group, but that's incorrect/undesirable because we may not be
   attached to all processes in the process group.  And also, it's
   incorrect because inferior_process_group() doesn't really return
   the inferior's real process group id if the inferior is not a
   process group leader...  This is the cause of PR gdb/13211 [1],
   which this patch fixes.  While at it, that target method's "ptid"
   parameter is eliminated, because it's not really used.

 - A new test is included that exercises and fixes PR gdb/13211, and
   also fixes a GDB issue reported on stackoverflow that I ran into
   while working on this [2].  The problem is similar to PR gdb/13211,
   except that it also triggers with Ctrl-C.  When debugging a daemon
   (i.e., a process that disconnects from the controlling terminal and
   is not a process group leader, then Ctrl-C doesn't work, you just
   can't interrupt the inferior at all, resulting in a hung debug
   session.  The problem is that since the inferior is no longer
   associated with gdb's session / controlling terminal, then trying
   to put the inferior in the foreground fails.  And so Ctrl-C never
   reaches the inferior directly.  pass_signal is only used when the
   inferior is attached, but that is not the case here.  This is fixed
   by the new child_pass_ctrlc.  Without the fix, the new
   interrupt-daemon.exp testcase fails with timeout waiting for a
   SIGINT that never arrives.

[2] GDB not reacting Ctrl-C when after fork() and setsid()
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46101292/gdb-not-reacting-ctrl-c-when-after-fork-and-setsid

Note this patch does _not_ fix:

 - PR gdb/14559 - The 'interrupt' command does not work if sigwait is in use
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14559

 - PR gdb/9425 - When using "sigwait" GDB doesn't trap SIGINT. Ctrl+C terminates program when should break gdb.
   https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9425

The only way to fix that that I know of (without changing the kernel)
is to make GDB put inferiors in a separate session (create a
pseudo-tty master/slave pair, make the inferior run with the slave as
its terminal, and have gdb pump output/input on the master end).
