Regression: gdb --pid $(pidof qemu-system-x86_64) stopped working with gdb 7.11.1
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20609
It was reported for qemu-system-x86_64 but it happens for any multithreaded
inferior with a JIT debugging hook.
136613ef0c6850427317e57be1b644080ff6decb is the first bad commit

Fix PR gdb/19828: gdb -p <process from a container>: internal error

jit_breakpoint_re_set() is specific by trying to insert a breakpoint into the
main executable, not into a shared library. During attachment GDB thinks it
needs to use 'breakpoint always-inserted' from
breakpoints_should_be_inserted_now() as a newly attached thread is
'thread_info->executing' due to 'lwp_info->must_set_ptrace_flags' enabled and
the task not yet stopped. This did not happen before the 'bad commit' above
which adds tracking of such thread.
GDB then fails to insert the breakpoints to invalid address as PIE executable
gets properly relocated during later phase of attachment. One can see in the
backtraces below:
-> jit_breakpoint_re_set_internal()
later:
-> svr4_exec_displacement()
One can suppress the initial breakpoint_re_set() call as there will be another
breakpoint_re_set() done from the final post_create_inferior() call in
setup_inferior().
BTW additionally 'threads_executing' cache bool is somehow stale (somewhere is
missing update_threads_executing()). I was trying to deal with that in my
first/second attempt below but in my final third attempt (attached) I have
left it as it is.
First attempt trying not to falsely require 'breakpoint always-inserted':
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix1.patch
Reduced first attempt:
https://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/rhbz1375553-fix2.patch
The third attempt suppresses breakpoint insertion until PIE executable gets
relocated by svr4_exec_displacement(). Applied.
