I'm testing this.  I wonder whether I'm missing some reason
to keep the vforkdone switch case separate?
At least foll-vfork.exp still passes.

I should split this to a separate patch, but I also noticed that
the TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD handling checks multi_process instead of
report_exec_events:

 -	else if (status->kind == TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD && multi_process)
 +	else if (status->kind == TARGET_WAITKIND_EXECD && report_exec_events)

which I think would be the check we want.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves

Subject: [PATCH] Fix vforkdone stop reply

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:

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.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-09-15  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* remote-utils.c (prepare_resume_reply): Merge
	TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE switch case with the
	TARGET_WAITKIND_FORKED case.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2015-09-15  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* gdb.texinfo: Explain that vforkdone's 'r' part indicates the
	parent process.
