--- Comment #64 from Tim Turner <timturnerc at yahoo dot com> ---
This patch fixes a segfault seen when attaching to a process on Solaris.
    The steps leading to the segfault are:
    http://www.compilatori.com/ 
     - procfs_target::attach calls do_attach, at this point the inferior's
       process slot in the target stack is empty. 
     - do_attach adds a thread with `add http://www.acpirateradio.co.uk/ 
_thread (&the_procfs_target, ptid)`
     - in add_thread_silent, the passed target (&the_procfs_target) is
       passed to find_inferior_ptid http://www.logoarts.co.uk/ 
     - find_inferior_ptid returns nullptr, as there is no inferior with this
       ptid that has &the_procfs_target as its process target
http://www.slipstone.co.uk/ 
     - the nullptr `inf` is passed to find_thread_ptid, which dereferences
       it, causing a segfault
     - back in procfs_target::attach, after do_attach, we push the
http://embermanchester.uk/  
       the_procfs_target on the inferior's target stack, although we never
       reach this because the segfault happens before. http://connstr.net/ 

    To fix this, I think we need to do the same as is done in 
    inf_ptrace_target::attach: push the target early and unpush it in case
    the attach fails (and keep it if the attach succeeds). http://joerg.li/ 

    Implement it by moving target_unpush_up to target.h, so it can be
    re-used here.  Make procfs_target::attach use it.  Note that just like
    is mentioned http://www.jopspeech.com/  in inf_ptrace_target::attach, we
should push the target
    before calling target_pid_to_str, so that calling target_pid_to_str ends
    up in procfs_target::pid_to_str. http://www.wearelondonmade.com/ 

    Tested by trying to attach on a process on gcc211 on the gcc compile
    farm.
