A following commit to make each inferior have its own thread list exposes a problem with bf93d7b ("Add thread after updating gdbarch when exec'ing"), which is that we can't defer adding the thread because that breaks try_open_exec_file which deep inside ends up calling inferior_thread(): #5 0x0000000000637c78 in internal_error(char const*, int, char const*, ...)

The problem originally fixed by bf93d7b was: (...) we should avoid doing register reads after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's gdbarch. Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong architecture. (...) The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to update stop_pc). (...) The register-reading issue is no longer a problem nowadays, ever since switch_to_thread stopped reading the stop_pc in git commit f2ffa92 ("gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global"). So this commit basically reverts bf93d7b. gdb/ChangeLog: 2018-11-22 Pedro Alves <[email protected]> * infrun.c (follow_exec) <set follow-exec new>: Add thread and switch to it before calling into try_open_exec_file.
