If the process disappears (e.g., killed with "kill -9" from the shell)
while it was stopped under GDBserver's control, and the GDBserver
tries to kill it, GDBserver asserts:

/home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/gdbserver/linux-low.c:972: A problem internal to GDBserver has been detected.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2015-07-14 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (kill_wait_lwp): Don't assert if waitpid fails.
Instead, ignore ECHILD, and throw an error for other errnos.
When navigating in the recorded execution trace via "record goto", we do not
set stop_pc. This may trigger an internal error in infrun.c when stepping
from that location. Set it.
(gdb) rec full
(gdb) c

This happens because there's a breakpoint at PC when the "next"
is issued, so that breapoint should be immediately stepped over.
That should have been detected/done by proceed, here:
if (addr == (CORE_ADDR) -1)
{
if (pc == stop_pc
&& breakpoint_here_p (aspace, pc) == ordinary_breakpoint_here
&& execution_direction != EXEC_REVERSE)
/* There is a breakpoint at the address we will resume at,
step one instruction before inserting breakpoints so that
we do not stop right away (and report a second hit at this
breakpoint).
Note, we don't do this in reverse, because we won't
actually be executing the breakpoint insn anyway.
We'll be (un-)executing the previous instruction. */
tp->stepping_over_breakpoint = 1;
But since stop_pc was stale, the pc == stop_pc check failed, and left the
breakpont at PC inserted.

I have somehow missed gdb.asm/asm-source.exp PASS->FAIL even on x86_64.
It has no longer valid assumption that "break" breaks after the prologue even
in assembler. So I have changed this assumption of the testfile.

The documentation for the 'frame' command has gotten a little out of
date, it still mentions architecturally specific details that are no
longer relevant.
This commit removes the old details that no longer apply, and tries to
expand the existing text a little to make the usage clearer for some
cases.

* gdb.texinfo (Selection): Update documentation for 'frame'
command.

Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.compile/compile.exp: compile code struct_object.selffield = &struct_object (GDB internal

The bug was not in GDB but in the GCC part interfacing with GDB.
Alexandre Oliva has fixed it the right way:

Attaching this GDB testsuite update + info to user s/he should upgrade GCC.
After Alex upstreams the fix I can update the message to contain the specific
GCC release.

The existing code preserves 'from' bits, which is incorrect. E.g.
(gdb) maint agent-eval (char)255L
Scope: 0x4008d6
Reg mask: 00
0 const16 255
3 ext 64
5 end
'ext 64' should be 'ext 8'; this bytecode evaluates to 255 instead of
the correct result of -1. The fix is simple. I ran the entire test
suite on x86-64 and there were no new test failures.

Fix problems with finishing a dummy function call on simulators.

The above is likely caused by GDB not removing the permanent
breakpoints from the target, leading to the inferior executing
the breakpoint instruction and tripping on a SIGSEGV.

All uses of @xref must be followed by either '.' or ','. In commit

Instead of casting between structure types to get the 'tui_gen_win_info'
info from a 'tui_win_info' access the generic member variable. This is
inline with what is done throughout the rest of the tui code.

instead of casting the structure type.
I was trying to understand what the OFFSET parameter was for, and
realized it was set to 0 in every call to search_struct_field. I
assume that it was used at some point, but some subsequent changes
made it useless.

* valops.c (search_struct_field): Remove OFFSET parameter.
(value_cast_structs): Adjust calls to search_struct_field.
(value_struct_elt): Same.

The comment for value_fetch_lazy seems outdated. It says that it's only
called from the value_contents and value_contents_all (macros!), which
is not true. Also, the return value seems useless now, despite what the
comment says.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* value.c (value_fetch_lazy): Update comment, change return
value to void.
* value.h (value_fetch_lazy): Change return value to void.
This commit makes the parameter and the result for 'tui_win_name'
