Subject: [patch 4/4]#3 Remove redundant lp->siginfo

Hi,

this is a simplification which should not affect GDB behavior.  As linux-nat
now stops on each received signal without any reordering of them then
PTRACE_GETSIGINFO is enough to access siginfo, without any need to copy it in
advance.


Thanks,
Jan

	* linux-nat.c (resume_callback) <lp->stopped && lp->status == 0>
	(linux_nat_resume): Remove LP->SIGINFO clearing.
	(save_siginfo): Remove.
	(stop_wait_callback) <WSTOPSIG (status) != SIGSTOP>
	(linux_nat_filter_event) <linux_nat_status_is_event (status)>: Remove
	the save_siginfo call.
	(resume_stopped_resumed_lwps): Remove LP->SIGINFO clearing.
	(linux_nat_set_siginfo_fixup): Use PTRACE_GETSIGINFO.
	* linux-nat.h (struct lwp_info) <siginfo>: Remove.
