Pedro Alves 6fdebc3d1c PR gdb/17472: With annotations, input while executing in the foreground crashes readline/GDB
Jan caught an intermittent GDB crash with the annota1.exp test:

 Starting program: .../gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/annota1 ^M
 [...]
 FAIL: gdb.base/annota1.exp: run until main breakpoint (timeout)
 [...]
 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!^M
 ERROR: Process no longer exists

All we need to is to continue the inferior in the foreground, and type
a command while the inferior is running.  E.g.:

 (gdb) set annotate 2

 ▒▒pre-prompt
 (gdb)
 ▒▒prompt
 c

 ▒▒post-prompt
 Continuing.

 ▒▒starting

 ▒▒frames-invalid

 *inferior is running now*

 p 1<ret>

 readline: readline_callback_read_char() called with no handler!
 Aborted (core dumped)
 $


When we run a foreground execution command we call
target_terminal_inferior to stop GDB from processing input, and to put
the inferior's terminal settings in effect.  Then we tell readline to
hide the prompt with display_gdb_prompt, which clears readline's input
callback too.  When the target stops, we call target_terminal_ours,
which re-installs stdin in the event loop, and then we redisplay the
prompt, reinstalling the readline callbacks.

However, when annotations are in effect, the "frames-invalid"
annotation code calls target_terminal_ours after 'resume' had already
called target_terminal_inferior:

 (top-gdb) bt

And then once we hide the prompt and remove readline's input handler
callback, we're in a bad state.  We end up with the target running
supposedly in the foreground, but with stdin still installed on the
event loop.  Any input then calls into readline, which aborts because
no rl_linefunc callback handler is installed:

The fix is to make the annotation code call target_terminal_inferior
again after printing, if the inferior's settings were in effect.

While at it, when we're doing output only, instead of
target_terminal_ours, we should call target_terminal_ours_for_output.
The latter doesn't actually remove stdin from the event loop, and also
leaves SIGINT forwarded to the target.

New test included.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
