[patch] Fix internal-error on dead LWPs with no associated thread


Hi,

original bugreport:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471819

linux-nat.c:1662: internal-error: linux_nat_resume: Assertion `lp != NULL' failed.

A reproducing testcase included.
No regressions on {x86_64,i686}-fedora-linux-gnu.


Thanks,
Jan

	Fix internal error on dead LWPs with no associated thread.
	* linux-nat.c (num_lwps): Do not count DEAD LWPs.
	(delete_lwp): Only set LP as DEAD if it is INFERIOR_PTID.
	(iterate_over_lwps): Skip DEAD LPs.  Discard DEAD LPs not in
	INFERIOR_PTID.
	(linux_nat_resume): Do not resume DEAD LPs.  Extend the debug message.
	* linux-nat.h (struct lwp_info): New field `dead'.

	* gdb.threads/current-lwp-dead.exp, gdb.threads/current-lwp-dead.c: New.
