Solaris, target_wait(), don't rely on inferior_ptid
Debugging on Solaris is broken, with the procfs target backend failing
with:
procfs: couldn't find pid 0 in procinfo list.
as soon as you start a program.
The problem is procfs_target::wait assuming that inferior_ptid is
meaningful on entry, but, since the multi-target series, inferior_ptid
is null_ptid before we call target_wait, in infrun.c:
static ptid_t
do_target_wait_1 (inferior *inf, ptid_t ptid,
target_waitstatus *status, int options)
{
...
/* We know that we are looking for an event in the target of inferior
INF, but we don't know which thread the event might come from. As
such we want to make sure that INFERIOR_PTID is reset so that none of
the wait code relies on it - doing so is always a mistake. */
switch_to_inferior_no_thread (inf);
This patch tweaks the backend to remove the assumption that
inferior_ptid points at something. sol-thread.c (the thread_stratum
that sits on top of procfs.c) also has the same issue.
Some spots in procfs_target::wait were returning
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS+inferior_ptid. This commit replaces those
with waiting again without returning to the core. This fixes the
relying on inferior_ptid, and also should fix the issue discussed
here:

* procfs.c (procfs_target::wait): Don't reference inferior_ptid.
Use the current inferior instead. Don't return
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS/inferior_ptid -- instead continue and
wait again.
* sol-thread.c (sol_thread_target::wait): Don't reference
inferior_ptid.
(ps_lgetregs, ps_lsetregs, ps_lgetfpregs, ps_lsetfpregs)
(sol_update_thread_list_callback): Use the current inferior's pid
instead of inferior_ptid.
