Fix step-over-{trips-on-watchpoint|lands-on-breakpoint}.exp race
On a target that is both always in non-stop mode and can do displaced stepping (such as native x86_64 GNU/Linux, with "maint set target-non-stop on"), the step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp test sometimes fails like this: (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: thread 1 set scheduler-locking off (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: set scheduler-locking off step -[Switching to Thread 0x7ffff7fc0700 (LWP 11782)] -Hardware watchpoint 4: watch_me - -Old value = 0 -New value = 1 -child_function (arg=0x0) at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.c:39 -39 other = 1; /* set thread-specific breakpoint here */ -(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: step +wait_threads () at /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.c:49 +49 return 1; /* in wait_threads */ +(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: step Note "scheduler-locking" was set off. The problem is that on such targets, the step-over of thread 2 and the "step" of thread 1 can be set to run simultaneously (since with displaced stepping the breakpoint isn't ever removed from the target), and sometimes, the "step" of thread 1 finishes first, so it'd take another resume to see the watchpoint trigger. Fix this by replacing the wait_threads function with a one-line infinite loop that doesn't call any function, so that the "step" of thread 1 never finishes. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.threads/step-over-lands-on-breakpoint.c (wait_threads): Delete function. (main): Add alarm. Run an infinite loop instead of calling wait_threads. * gdb.threads/step-over-lands-on-breakpoint.exp (do_test): Change comment. * gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.c (wait_threads): Delete function. (main): Add alarm. Run an infinite loop instead of calling wait_threads. * gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp (do_test): Change comment.
