Handle multiple step-overs.
This test fails with current mainline. If the program stopped for a breakpoint in thread 1, and then the user switches to thread 2, and resumes the program, GDB first switches back to thread 1 to step it over the breakpoint, in order to make progress. However, that logic only considers the last reported event, assuming only one thread needs that stepping over dance. That's actually not true when we play with scheduler-locking. The patch adds an example to the testsuite of multiple threads needing a step-over before the stepping thread can be resumed. With current mainline, the program re-traps the same breakpoint it had already trapped before. E.g.: Breakpoint 2, main () at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.c:99 99 wait_threads (); /* set wait-threads breakpoint here */ (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: step: continue to breakpoint: run to breakpoint info threads Id Target Id Frame 3 Thread 0x7ffff77c9700 (LWP 4310) "multiple-step-o" 0x00000000004007ca in child_function_3 (arg=0x1) at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.c:43 2 Thread 0x7ffff7fca700 (LWP 4309) "multiple-step-o" 0x0000000000400827 in child_function_2 (arg=0x0) at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.c:60 * 1 Thread 0x7ffff7fcb740 (LWP 4305) "multiple-step-o" main () at ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.c:99 (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: step: info threads shows all threads set scheduler-locking on (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: step: set scheduler-locking on break 44 Breakpoint 3 at 0x4007d3: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.c, line 44.

The patch teaches GDB to step over all breakpoints of all threads before resuming the stepping thread. Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, against pristine mainline, and also my branch that implements software single-stepping on x86. gdb/ 2014-03-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * infrun.c (prepare_to_proceed): Delete. (thread_still_needs_step_over): New function. (find_thread_needs_step_over): New function. (proceed): If the current thread needs a step-over, set its steping_over_breakpoint flag. Adjust to use find_thread_needs_step_over instead of prepare_to_proceed. (process_event_stop_test): For BPSTAT_WHAT_STOP_NOISY and BPSTAT_WHAT_STOP_SILENT, assume the thread stopped for a breakpoint. (switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Step over breakpoints of all threads not the stepping thread, before switching back to the stepping thread. gdb/testsuite/ 2014-03-20 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.c: New file. * gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp: New file. * gdb.threads/signal-while-stepping-over-bp-other-thread.exp: Adjust expected infrun debug output.
