btrace: Resume recording after disconnect.
This patch allows gdbserver to continue recording after disconnect. On reconnect, the recorded data is accessible to gdb as if no disconnect happened. A possible application for this feature is remotely examine bugs that occur at irregular intervals, where maintaining a gdb connection is inconvenient. This also fixes the issue mentioned here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-11/msg00424.html Signed-off-by: Tim Wiederhake <tim.wiederhake@intel.com> gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Resume btrace on reconnect. * record-btrace.c: Added record-btrace.h include. (record_btrace_open): Split into this and ... (record_btrace_push_target): ... this. (record_btrace_disconnect): New function. (init_record_btrace_ops): Use record_btrace_disconnect. * record-btrace.h: New file. * remote.c: Added record-btrace.h include. (remote_start_remote): Check recording status.
