Tom de Vries 14414227bf [gdb] Fix segfault in for_each_block, part 2
The previous commit describes PR gdb/30547, a segfault when running test-case
gdb.base/vfork-follow-parent.exp on powerpc64 (likewise on s390x).

The root cause for the segmentation fault is that linux_is_uclinux gives an
incorrect result: it returns true instead of false.

So, why does linux_is_uclinux:
...
int
linux_is_uclinux (void)
{
  CORE_ADDR dummy;

  return (target_auxv_search (AT_NULL, &dummy) > 0
	  && target_auxv_search (AT_PAGESZ, &dummy) == 0);
...
return true?

This is because ppc_linux_target_wordsize returns 4 instead of 8, causing
ppc_linux_nat_target::auxv_parse to misinterpret the auxv vector.

So, why does ppc_linux_target_wordsize:
...
int
ppc_linux_target_wordsize (int tid)
{
  int wordsize = 4;

  /* Check for 64-bit inferior process.	 This is the case when the host is
     64-bit, and in addition the top bit of the MSR register is set.  */
  long msr;

  errno = 0;
  msr = (long) ptrace (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, tid, PT_MSR * 8, 0);
  if (errno == 0 && ppc64_64bit_inferior_p (msr))
    wordsize = 8;

  return wordsize;
}
...
return 4?

Specifically, we get this result because because tid == 0, so we get
errno == ESRCH.

The tid == 0 is caused by the switch_to_no_thread in
handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit:
...
	  /* Switch to no-thread while running clone_program_space, so
	     that clone_program_space doesn't want to read the
	     selected frame of a dead process.  */
	  scoped_restore_current_thread restore_thread;
	  switch_to_no_thread ();

	  inf->pspace = new program_space (maybe_new_address_space ());
...
but moving the maybe_new_address_space call to before that gives us the
same result.  The tid is no longer 0, but we still get ESRCH because the
thread has exited.

Fix this in handle_vfork_child_exec_or_exit by doing the
maybe_new_address_space call in the context of the vfork parent.

Tested on top of trunk on x86_64-linux and ppc64le-linux.
Tested on top of gdb-14-branch on ppc64-linux.
