PR remote/19496, interrupted syscall in forking-threads-plus-bkpt
This patch addresses "fork:Interrupted system call" (or wait:) failures
in gdb.threads/forking-threads-plus-breakpoint.exp.
The test program spawns ten threads, each of which do ten fork/waitpid
sequences. The cause of the problem was that when one of the fork
children exited before the corresponding fork parent could initiate its
waitpid for that child, a SIGCHLD and/or SIGSTOP was delivered and
interrupted a fork or waitpid in another thread.
The fix was to wrap the system calls in a loop to retry the call if
it was interrupted, like:
do
{
pid = fork ();
}
while (pid == -1 && errno == EINTR);
Since this is a Linux-only test I figure it is OK to use errno and EINTR.
I tried a number of alternative fixes using SIG_IGN, SA_RESTART,
pthread_sigblock, and bsd_signal, but none of these worked as well.
Tested on Nios II Linux target with x86 Linux host.
