[PATCH v2] Fix logic in exec_file_locate_attach


Hi all,

This is an updated version of the patch I posted yesterday.
It fails silently rather than throwing if the executable is
not in the sysroot, which both fixes the sysroot-escape issue
and results in a better GDB session for the user.

Built and regtested on RHEL 6.6 x86_64.

Luis, I think this patch will fix your connection drop without
any further changes.  Could you test it please?

Thanks,
Gary

This commit fixes an error in exec_file_locate_attach where
the main executable could be loaded from outside the sysroot
if a nonempty, non-"target:" sysroot was set but the discovered
executable filename did not exist in that sysroot and did exist
on the main filesystem.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* exec.c (exec_file_locate_attach): Do not attempt to
	locate main executable locally if not found in sysroot.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/attach-pie-noexec.exp: Do not expect an error
	message on attach.
