Re: RFC: handle new NT_SIGINFO note in gdb

Here is an updated patch.

It differs from the original patch in that it associates each NT_SIGINFO
note with the relevant thread.

There is a new multi-threaded test case included as well.  Note that
when a core is generated by gdb, each thread has a $_siginfo -- threads
stopped by gdb will show SIGSTOP.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 16.  I also tried this manually
against a kernel made by a relatively recent Linux kernel.

2012-11-02  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

	* elf.c (elfcore_grok_note) <NT_SIGINFO>: New case; make
	pseudosection.

2012-11-02  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

	* linux-tdep.c (linux_make_siginfo_note): New function.
	(linux_make_corefile_notes): Use it.
	* corelow.c (get_core_siginfo): New function.
	(core_xfer_partial) <TARGET_OBJECT_SIGNAL_INFO>: New case.

2012-11-02  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>

	* gdb.base/siginfo-obj.exp: Create core file.  Test siginfo from
	core files, if possible.
	* gdb.base/siginfo-thread.c: New file
	* gdb.base/siginfo-thread.exp: New file
