[PATCH v2 1/1] btrace: Resume recording after disconnect.

[Tim Wiederhake <tim dot wiederhake at intel dot com>]

This patch allows gdbserver to continue recording after disconnect.  On
reconnect, the recorded data is accessible to gdb as if no disconnect happened.

A possible application for this feature is remotely examine bugs that occur
at irregular intervals, where maintaining a gdb connection is inconvenient.

This also fixes the issue mentioned here:

 *** Changes since GDB 7.11
 
+* GDBserver now supports record btrace without maintaining an active
+  GDB connection.
+
 * GDB now supports a negative repeat count in the 'x' command to examine
   memory backward from the given address.  For example:
