Fix PR gdb/19828: gdb -p <process from a container>: internal error
When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them. Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program is multi threaded and linked with pthreads. Thus when GDB soon after attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found lower-level LWPs. If, however, GDB fails to find/load a matching libthread_db, nothing is adding the LWPs to the thread list. And because of that, "detach" hits an internal error: (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: attach info threads Id Target Id Frame * 1 LWP 6891 "clone-attach-de" 0x00007f87e5fd0790 in __nanosleep_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:84 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: info threads shows two LWPs detach .../src/gdb/thread.c:1010: internal-error: is_executing: Assertion `tp' failed.
