Change detach_breakpoints to take a ptid instead of a pid
Before this change, detach_breakpoints would take a pid, and then set inferior_ptid to a ptid that it constructs using pid_to_ptid (pid). Unfortunately, this ptid is not necessarily valid. Consider for instance the case of ia64-hpux, where ttrace refuses a register-read operation if the LWP is not provided. This problems shows up when GDB is trying to handle fork events. Assuming GDB is configured to follow the parent, GDB will try to detach from the child. But before doing so, it needs to remove all breakpoints inside that child. On ia64, this involves reading inferior (the child's) memory. And on ia64-hpux, reading memory requires us to read the bsp and bspstore registers, in order to determine where that memory is relative to the value of those registers, and thus to determine which ttrace operation to use in order to fetch that memory (see ia64_hpux_xfer_memory). This patch therefore changes detach_breakpoints to take a ptid instead of a pid, and then updates all callers. One of the consequences of this patch is that it trips an assert on GNU/Linux targets. But this assert appears to have not actual purpose, and is thus removed. gdb/ChangeLog: * breakpoint.h (detach_breakpoints): pid parameter is now a ptid. * breakpoint.c (detach_breakpoints): Change pid parameter into a ptid. Adjust code accordingly. * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event): Delete variable child_pid. Update call to detach_breakpoints to pass the child ptid for fork events. * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_iterate_watchpoint_lwps): Remove assert that inferior_ptid's lwp is zero. (linux_handle_extended_wait): Update call to detach_breakpoints. * inf-ttrace.c (inf_ttrace_follow_fork): Update call to detach_breakpoints.
