gdb/gdb-python-gil.patch
Richard Biener 355c8053f0 - Use patchlist.pl to merge with gdb-7.9-10.fc22, a rebase to FSF GDB 7.9.
The GDB 7.8 features are:
  * Python Scripting
   - You can now access frame registers from Python scripts.
   - New attribute 'producer' for gdb.Symtab objects.
  * New Python-based convenience functions:
   - $_caller_is(name [, number_of_frames])
   - $_caller_matches(regexp [, number_of_frames])
   - $_any_caller_is(name [, number_of_frames])
   - $_any_caller_matches(regexp [, number_of_frames])
  * New commands
   - queue-signal signal-name-or-number
     Queue a signal to be delivered to the thread when it is resumed.
  * On resume, GDB now always passes the signal the program had stopped
    for to the thread the signal was sent to, even if the user changed
    threads before resuming.  Previously GDB would often (but not
    always) deliver the signal to the thread that happens to be current
    at resume time.
  * Conversely, the "signal" command now consistently delivers the
    requested signal to the current thread.  GDB now asks for
    confirmation if the program had stopped for a signal and the user
    switched threads meanwhile.
  * "breakpoint always-inserted" modes "off" and "auto" merged.
    Now, when 'breakpoint always-inserted mode' is set to "off", GDB
    won't remove breakpoints from the target until all threads stop,
    even in non-stop mode.  The "auto" mode has been removed, and "off"
    is now the default mode.
  * MI changes
   - The -list-thread-groups command outputs an exit-code field for
     inferiors that have exited.

+The @var{release_gil} flag specifies whether @value{GDBN} ought to
+release the Python GIL before executing the command. This is useful
+in multi-threaded Python programs where by default the Python
+interpreter will acquire the GIL and lock other threads from
+executing. After the command has completed executing in @value{GDBN}
+the Python GIL is reacquired. This flag must be a boolean value. If
