gdb: set current thread in sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (PR gdb/27147)
PR 27147 shows that on sparc64, GDB is unable to properly unwind:
Expected result (from GDB 9.2):

Actual result (from GDB latest git):

The first failing commit is
5b6d1e4fa4fc ("Multi-target support"). The cause
of the change in behavior is due to (thanks for Andrew Burgess for finding
this):
- inferior_ptid is no longer set on entry of target_ops::wait, whereas
it was set to something valid previously
- deep down in linux_nat_target::wait (see stack trace below), we fetch
the registers of the event thread
- on sparc64, fetching registers involves reading memory (in
sparc_supply_rwindow, see stack trace below)
- reading memory (target_ops::xfer_partial) relies on inferior_ptid
being set to the thread from which we want to read memory
This is where things go wrong:

There is a target_read_memory call in sparc_supply_rwindow, whose return
value is not checked. That call fails, because inferior_ptid does not
contain a valid ptid, and uninitialized buffer contents is used.
Ultimately it results in a corrupt stop_pc.
target_ops::fetch_registers can be (and should remain, in my opinion)
independent of inferior_ptid, because the ptid of the thread from which
to fetch registers can be obtained from the regcache. In other words,
implementations of target_ops::fetch_registers should not rely on
inferior_ptid having a sensible value on entry.
The sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers case is special, because it calls
a target method that is dependent on the inferior_ptid value
(target_read_inferior, and ultimately target_ops::xfer_partial). So I would
say it's the responsibility of sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers to set
up inferior_ptid correctly prior to calling target_read_inferior.
This patch makes sparc64_linux_nat_target::fetch_registers (and
store_registers, since it works the same) temporarily set inferior_ptid. If we
ever make target_ops::xfer_partial independent of inferior_ptid, setting
inferior_ptid won't be necessary, we'll simply pass down the ptid as a
parameter in some way.
I chose to set/restore inferior_ptid in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers, because
I am not convinced that doing so in an inner location (in sparc_supply_rwindow
for instance) would always be correct. We have access to the ptid in
sparc_supply_rwindow (from the regcache), so we _could_ set inferior_ptid
there. However, I don't want to just set inferior_ptid, as that would make it
not desync'ed with `current_thread ()` and `current_inferior ()`. It's
preferable to use switch_to_thread instead, as that switches all the global
"current" stuff in a coherent way. But doing so requires a `thread_info *`,
and getting a `thread_info *` from a ptid requires a `process_stratum_target
*`. We could use `current_inferior()->process_target()` in
sparc_supply_rwindow for this (using target_read_memory uses the current
inferior's target stack anyway). However, sparc_supply_rwindow is also used in
the context of BSD uthreads, where a thread stratum target defines threads. I
presume the ptid in the regcache would be the ptid of the uthread, defined by
the thread stratum target (bsd_uthread_target). Using
`current_inferior()->process_target()` would look up a ptid defined by the
thread stratum target using the process stratum target. I don't think it would
give good results. So I prefer playing it safe and looking up the thread
earlier, in sparc_fetch_inferior_registers.
I added some assertions (in sparc_supply_rwindow and others) to verify
that the regcache's ptid matches inferior_ptid. That verifies that the
caller has properly set the correct global context. This would have
caught (though a failed assertion) the current problem.
