This patch fixes a segfault seen when attaching to a process on Solaris. The steps leading to the segfault are: http://www.compilatori.com/tech/xiaomi/ - 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/tech/forest-fires/ _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/tech/drone-cameras/ - 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/tech/express-van/ - 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/technology/telegram/ the_procfs_target on the inferior's target stack, although we never reach this because the segfault happens before. http://connstr.net/tech/mars-surface/ 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/tech/cars-comparison/ 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/tech/xiaomi-headset/ 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/tech/driving-assistant/ Tested by trying to attach on a process on gcc211 on the gcc compile farm. https://waytowhatsnext.com/health/vaccination-rates/ gdb/ChangeLog: This patch fixes a segfault seen when attaching to a process on Solaris.
